This study aimed to provide a realistic picture of the religious function in the old city of Aden, and to identify and analyze the controls that shape this picture. To achieve this, the research procedures relied on collecting primary data related to the phenomenon from its sources in government agencies (Planning and Statistics Office - Awqaf Office) in the district and governorate. Additionally, interviews were conducted with specialists, followed by field observations to examine and document the phenomenon. The descriptive approach, with its scientific methodology, was used to interpret the data and controls related to the religious function, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in order to reach objective results that reflect the production of new maps for the distribution of religious uses in Aden city. The land use map is a distinctive feature in geographic research, especially in urban geography (Hall, 1992, p. 18). The study showed that the religious function is concentrated in the 2nd of March and Al-Salafi neighborhoods, for more than 50%. which are located in the central area between Wadi Al-Tawila and Wadi Al-Aydarus, and this confirms the strong relationship between water courses and the planning aspect of the central area, and the concentration of the religious function in particular, as well as its impact on the concentration of urban development in general.

The findings suggest that the play critically engages with Scottish political issues, illustrating how unchecked ambition and political turmoil lead to moral corruption and instability. The study reveals that Shakespeare’s depiction of figures such as Duncan, Malcolm, and Macbeth reflect tensions surrounding monarchy, rebellion, and the sacred authority of kings. Additionally, the play serves as a broader commentary on the dangers of political instability. The analysis also underscores the cultural, religious, and geographical contexts that shaped Shakespeare’s political themes. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of Shakespeare’s engagement with political discourse and offers insights into the complexities of power, governance, and ambition.

EXPLORING THE CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY SAUDI TRANSLATORS IN UTILIZING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR BUSINESS TRANSLATION

Sari Mohammad Almasharqa, Adel Mohammed Qadha — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study explores the challenges encountered by Saudi translators in utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for business translation. The study aims to achieve three key objectives: identifying the linguistic challenges Saudi translators encounter when using AI-based tools in business translation, examining the technical and functional difficulties associated with AI integration, and assessing the challenges in human-AI collaboration, particularly in post-editing and accuracy verification. A quantitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire distributed to 40 Saudi translators. The questionnaire measured participants’ perceptions of AI translation tools across three categories: linguistic and terminological challenges, technical and functional difficulties, and human-AI collaboration obstacles. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA tests, and correlation analysis to identify key trends and relationships between variables. The findings reveal that AI translation tools struggle with business-specific terminology, context-dependent meanings, and cultural adaptation, leading to frequent errors requiring extensive human post-editing. Additionally, technical inconsistencies and a lack of transparency in AI decision-making processes hinder effective workflow integration. The study also finds no significant differences in perceptions of AI translation challenges based on translators’ education levels, indicating that these issues are widely recognized across different expertise levels.

Rauf Younis Ahmed Abdullah — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The main objective of this study is to discover the difficulties that can hinder the application of e-learning to the English instruction within the Yemeni context and more specifically at University of Lahej. The study used a questionnaire administered to 109 EFL learners at University of Lahej, and the results referred that applying e-learning to the English instruction encounters formidable obstacles. Some of them are weak Internet connection, high cost of the Internet, power cut and lack of knowledge about video conferencing tools, let alone there is a number of the learners who do not have the suitable devices to connect to the Internet. Besides, there is a little use of the social media applications to learn English. Accordingly, if e-learning has to be applied to the English instruction, it is recommended to use WhatsApp to share the multimedia messaging content with the learners as it is the most popular application used by them, while it is better to avoid synchronous online learning. Moreover, e-learning should be mixed with face-to-face learning to teach English more interactively, and language labs connected to the Internet should be available to those learners having no suitable devices.
