Abstract:
20 Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women of Middle Eastern origin. Epidemiologically, breast cancer in the Middle East clusters in families and usually affects women a decade younger than Western women. This dilemma is compounded by the lack of curated databases and ambitious studies that address the roles genetic or genomic may play in breast cancer. Methods: We have exome sequenced 60 Middle Eastern women with moderate and strong family history of cancer or young women without significant family history of cancer. DNA extracted from peripheral blood of patients and matching normal Middle Eastern women without history of familial or sporadic cancers, were subjected to whole-exome sequencing using the HiSeq 2500 Illumina platform and MLPA to map major breast cancer–activating genetic defects. Results: Several novel BRCA1/2 mutations were identified in the minority of these women. However, other complex mutations in non-BRCA1/2 genes appear to play a more subtle role in breast cancer in the Middle Eastern women. Germline mutations in TP-53, BARD1 and mismatch repair genes were more frequent than expected by chance. Conclusions: BRCA1/2 gene mutations are not a significant cause of heritable cancers in the Middle East. The region may benefit from a well-curated region-specific database accessible to clinicians and scientists where clinical and variants information can be deposited from all over the Middle East.

Abstract:
Muslim students in higher education are affected by the hardships of oppression, discrimination, prejudices, and stereotypes associated with the increasing Islamophobia and xenophobia within the U.S. The current literature on Middle Eastern Muslim men college students lacks an understanding of their lived experiences on U.S. college campuses. The purpose of this study is to understand how Middle Eastern Muslim men college students navigate a university within a divisive political context. This phenomenological study conducted semi-structured interviews with seven Middle Eastern Muslim men students. Data gathered informs how participants of this study made sense of their experience navigating higher education institutions. The findings describe that Middle Eastern Muslim men college students must fight negative perceptions, face the challenge of feeling alone socially and academically, and commit to education with the support of their families. After the findings, this paper provides a discussion and a list of recommendations for research and practice to be inclusive and elevate the lived experiences of Middle Eastern Muslim men students in higher education. While this study took place in the U.S., the discussion and recommendations apply to all colleges and universities worldwide.

Abstract:
This article follows the ways through which the concept of juvenile delinquency has been created in the legal and social discourse in Israel. It compares the discourse and resulting social policies regarding juvenile delinquency mainly in two social groups: “middle-class” offenders (youth from high socioeconomic families who immigrated to Israel before 1948); and “lower class” offenders (Middle Eastern “Oriental” youth from low socioeconomic families who came mainly during the 1950s from Asia Minor and North Africa). Societal reactions to juvenile delinquency during the period studied were highly variable, depending on the ethnicity, gender, and social class of the offender.

Abstract:
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disease characterized by abnormalities in language and social communication with substantial clinical heterogeneity. Genetic factors play an important role in ASD with heritability estimated between 70% to 80%. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple loci associated with ASD. However, most studies were performed on European populations and little is known about the genetic architecture of ASD in Middle Eastern populations. Here, we report the first GWAS of ASD in the Middle eastern population of Qatar. We analyzed 171 families with ASD, using linear mixed models adjusting for relatedness and other confounders. Results showed that common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in seven loci are associated with ASD (p < 1 × 10−5). Although the identified loci did not reach genome-wide significance, many of the top associated SNPs are located within or near genes that have been implicated in ASD or related neurodevelopmental disorders. These include GORASP2, GABBR2, ANKS6, THSD4, ERCC6L, ARHGEF6, and HDAC8. Additionally, three of the top associated SNPs were significantly associated with gene expression. We also found evidence of association signals in two previously reported ASD-susceptibility loci (rs10099100 and rs4299400). Our results warrant further functional studies and replication to provide further insights into the genetic architecture of ASD.

Abstract:
Inherited cardiomyopathies are a prevalent cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Both hypertrophic (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are genetically heterogeneous and typically present with an autosomal dominant mode of transmission. Whole exome sequencing and autozygosity mapping was carried out in eight un-related probands from consanguineous Middle Eastern families presenting with HCM/DCM followed by bioinformatic and co-segregation analysis to predict the potential pathogenicity of candidate variants. We identified homozygous missense variants in TNNI3K, DSP, and RBCK1 linked with a dilated phenotype, in NRAP linked with a mixed phenotype of dilated/hypertrophic, and in KLHL24 linked with a mixed phenotype of dilated/hypertrophic and non-compaction features. Co-segregation analysis in family members confirmed autosomal recessive inheritance presenting in early childhood/early adulthood. Our findings add to the mutational spectrum of recessive cardiomyopathies, supporting inclusion of KLHL24, NRAP and RBCK1 as disease-causing genes. We also provide evidence for novel (recessive) modes of inheritance of a well-established gene TNNI3K and expand our knowledge of the clinical heterogeneity of cardiomyopathies. A greater understanding of the genetic causes of recessive cardiomyopathies has major implications for diagnosis and screening, particularly in underrepresented populations, such as those of the Middle East.

Abstract:
As Margaret Meriwether notes in her Introduction to this well-crafted study, until recently there has been little history of the Middle Eastern family. There were “histories of families,” which is not the same as a solidly researched sub-discipline within the broader field of Middle Eastern history, because these “did not deal with the family as an institution, its evolution over time, nor the relationship between family and society” (p. 2). The difficulty derives in part (as it does for other sub-fields of Middle Eastern history, particularly social history) from problems of sources that are partial, limited, or sometimes non-existent, and often where they do exist are unavailable. There are few written records on certain subjects, particularly private lives. Scholars of social history and anthropology have relied increasingly on the use of Islamic court records as sources for social history. The growing body of works produced from this scholarship has been highly sophisticated, nuanced, and exciting, opening windows into the history of private life in the Middle East. This book is a welcome contribution to this growing field of scholarship.

Abstract:
Species composition of desmid algae and their habitat preferences in water bodies of Ekaterinburg city were studied during the 2013–2017. Thirty-seven species and subspecific taxa which belong to 12 genera and 2 families were identified, of which 17 species are new for the eastern macroslope of the Middle Urals. Canonical correspondence analysis, which was performed to reveal habitat preferences, demonstrates that the majority of analyzed species prefer quarry lakes, ponds and overgrown lake shores, contrary to fens and rivers.

Abstract:
Abstract Most Middle Eastern entrepreneurial families are familiar with foreign offshore trusts and foundations and have been using these tools to ensure wealth preservation and inter-generational continuity for several generations. In that context, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) now counts three foundation regimes (in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, the Dubai International Financial Centre and the Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre) and provides a local solution to wealth management and preservation, family succession planning, corporate structuring and asset protection. The purpose of this article is to present the context, mechanisms and interests in relation to UAE private foundations.

Abstract:
The rich and diverse architectural traditions of the Eastern Mediterranean and adjacent regions are the subject of this book. Representing the visual residues of a “forgotten” Middle Ages, the social and cultural developments of the Byzantine Empire, the Caucasus, the Balkans, Russia, and the Middle East parallel the more familiar architecture of Western Europe. The book offers an expansive overview of the architectural developments of the Byzantine Empire and areas under its cultural influence, as well as of the intellectual currents that lie behind their creation. The book alternates chapters that address chronological or regional developments with thematic studies that focus on the larger cultural concerns, as they are expressed in architectural form.

Full text
Abstract:
In Armies of Arabia—the first book to comprehensively analyze the Gulf monarchies’ militaries—Zoltan Barany explains the conspicuous ineffectiveness of these forces with a combination of political-structural and sociocultural factors. Based on over 150 personal interviews and meticulous multidisciplinary research, he offers a fascinating account of Arabia’s armies starting with Ibn Saud’s conquest of much of the peninsula and ending with the ongoing war in Yemen. He explores the ruling families’ role overseeing their militaries to ensure their loyalty and examines the backgrounds and career trajectories of soldiers and officers. Barany argues that Arabia’s armies remain ineffective because they are characterized by an absence of meritocracy, the domination of personal connections over institutional norms, disregard for personal responsibility, half-hearted leadership, casual work ethic, and training lacking intensity, frequency, and up-to-date settings. Massive expenditures on armaments are primarily payoffs to the United States for protecting them and have resulted in bloated arsenals and large-scale corruption. The setbacks of the Saudi-led coalition’s disastrous war in Yemen starkly illustrate the Gulf armies’ humiliating combat record. The book concludes with thoughts on waste (of human potential, resources, institutions) as a dominant theme of Gulf military affairs, considers likely changes in response to long-term weakening demand for oil, and suggests ways in which the effectiveness of Arabia’s armies could be raised. Chock-full of insights and stories from the field and written with a general audience in mind, Armies of Arabia is essential reading for anyone interested in military affairs and Middle Eastern politics, society, and international relations.

Abstract:
In Middle Eastern countries, cultural traditions, values, and beliefs play significant roles in decision making about cancer care, prevention, diagnosis, and management. As cultural factors are involved at every stage of cancer care from prevention to palliative care and they pose challenges that can influence cancer related behaviours in Middle Eastern countries, in cancer care, these factors should be addressed in all efforts to prevent and control the disease. This chapter focuses on a number of cultural factors relating to cancer care including family, family values and dynamics, religion and spiritual needs, stigma and social values, taboos about death and dying, and communication with patients. The reflections contained in this chapter offer insights into some of the ways the culture of Middle Eastern countries influences cancer care and how it affects the patients’ and their families’ attitudes and choices regarding this care. Reflections on these cultural perspectives suggest that if cancer care in Middle Eastern countries is to be improved, health professionals need to be aware of, and be sensitive to cultural factors and balance respect for patients’ cultural perspectives with the need to provide effective care and improve patient outcomes.

This introductory chapter presents the Assarraf family as the focal point of study, before providing an overview on the Jewish, Islamic, and international legal background of this family and that of many other such families in Morocco. It brings up the intersections inherent in the legal system that Jews in Morocco have enjoyed, highlighting the potential for this subject for further academic study. In particular, the Assarrafs' movement between Jewish and shariʻa courts is relevant to Jewish, Middle Eastern, and legal historians, for somewhat different reasons—and as the chapter shows, contrary to prevailing opinion, the Jews were not isolated within their own legal system.

This chapter illustrates Abbas' story which speaks to the importance of family—not only Abbas' desire to create a family of his own but also the support he receives from his natal family members. Like many other young Middle Eastern men, Abbas chose to marry his female cousin Fatima out of love and affection, as well as family expectations. However, cousin marriage (known more formally as consanguineous marriage) may perpetuate life-threatening genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis, and may be the single-most important reason why male infertility rates across the region are so high. When impediments to childbearing occur, families are often called upon to assist reproduction through various kinds of material and emotional support.

Full text
Abstract:
In both Europe and North America, modern herpetological families and genera became established quite early in the Cenozoic, and modern species occurred as early as the Miocene. Because of deteriorating climates that began late in the Eocene, a marked decrease in herpetological diversity occurred in the Oligocene in both continents. However, both areas became herpetologically enriched in the Miocene. In post-Miocene times Europe was isolated from Africa and warm areas in the east by the Mediterranean Sea and eastern mountain ranges, and a depauperate herpetofauna developed there that continued into recent times. In North America, however, with its vast, accessible southern land mass, the richness of the Miocene herpetofauna (with the exception of several archaic colubrid genera [Parmley and Holman, 1995] that became extinct in the the Miocene) persisted into modern times. The following discussion of changes in the European herpetofauna in the Cenozoic era has been synthesized from Auge (1986), Ballón (1991a), Bailon ct al. (1988), Barbadillo et al. (1997), Crochet et al. (1981), Estes (1981, 1982, 1983), Fritz (1995), Holman (1995c), Milncr (1986), Milner et al. (1982), Mlynarski (1976), Rage (1984a, 1984c, 1986, 1993), Rage and Auge (1993), Rage and Ford (1980), Roček (1994), Sanchiz. (1977b, in press), Sanchiz and Mlynarski (1979), Sanchiz and Roček (1996), Spinar (1972), Szyndlar (1984, 1991b, 1991c), and Szyndlar and Bohme (1993). Because of the high probability that herpetological fossils have been identified correctly at the family level, herpetological families arc used here to reflect the taxonomic diversity of the European herpetofauna from the Paleocene through the Pliocene. In a following section, the earliest appearance of herpetological genera and species in the European Tertiary arc discussed. Extinct families are prefixed with an asterisk (*). Families that became extinct in Europe in the Cenozoic but presently occur elsewhere are prefixed with a number sign (#). Two primitive, extinct, presumably permanently aquatic salamander families, me *Albanerpetontidae and *Batrachosauroididae (the latter also known from the Tertiary of North America) made limited appearances in the Cenozoic of Europe. The *Albanerpetontidae occurred only in the Middle Miocene (having reappeared from the Cretaceous), and the *Batrachosauroididae occurred from the Upper Paleocene to the Lower Eocene.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Pentecostal or charismatic Christianity, which constituted the most vibrant features of the Christian landscape in Latin America and Africa, as well as in many parts of Asia, Oceania, and eastern Europe. The global Pentecostal movement throughout the twentieth century drew its most numerous adherents from the ranks of the poor, in a variety of urban and rural contexts. But as the century proceeded, it became apparent that this was not a faith for the poor alone, but rather a religious chameleon that had an extraordinary capacity to adapt itself to a wide range of social and economic contexts and ecclesiastical traditions. Pentecostalism has found a home amidst prosperous business families in Seoul or Singapore as well as among the favela dwellers of São Paulo or the Dalits of South India. The respective histories of Pentecostal culture in Ghana and Brazil both reveal a gradual but incomplete shift in style from the modest aspirations to social respectability and economic improvement characteristic of the Apostolic churches in Ghana or the Assembléia de Deus in Brazil to the sophisticated middle-class materiality and exhibitionist style typical of modern Ghanaian neo-Pentecostal churches or of the third-wave metropolitan churches in Brazil.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose Aside from their oncology condition, cancer patients often experience many ancillary problems, including negative physical symptoms, social isolation, spiritual suffering, and often psychological distress. Supportive care services can be defined as services designed to help patients, their families, and caregivers with their experiences during the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and palliative stages of the cancer journey. In an extensive review of the literature, we identified no previous studies that have investigated the SCNs of cancer patients in Iraq or any other Middle Eastern countries. Therefore, this study aims to determine the SCNs of cancer patients in Iraq. Methods The present cross-sectional study and data was conducted in Rezgary teaching and Nankaly Oncology Hospital in the Kurdistan Federal Region of Iraq. A total of 300 eligible cancer patients were invited to participate in the study from February to August, 2018. Eligibility criteria included: 18 years or above; having a definite diagnosis of any type of cancer; physically or mentally able to participate in the study; and being aware of exact diagnosis for at least three months. Results In 15 items of the SCNs, more than 60% of the participants reported that their needs were unmet. Most frequently, unmet needs were related to health system and information, physical and daily living, psychological, and patient care and support domains, and most met needs were related to physical and daily activity domains. Conclusions Kurdish cancer patients had many unmet needs and there is a need for establishing additional supportive care services and educational programs to increase quality of life in Kurdistan Region- Iraq.

Abstract:
In their efforts to suppress the language and nationality of the Polish people in the eastern binational provinces after 1870, Prussian state officials looked to the Volksschule to serve as an instrument of germanization. The school’s function was not only to teach Polish children to speak German but also to acculturate them into the German nation. Far from spreading the use of the German language and assimilating the youth into German society, this policy bred germanophobia and a repugnance for the school in Polish families. In spite of all the means of coercion at their disposal, the school authorities did not succeed in achieving these objectives. The total bankruptcy of the germanization policy was exposed when the Polish people resorted to political defiance in the school strikes of 1906. While it is true that the increasingly forceful germanization campaign aroused fervent affirmations of Polish national identity and provoked a countermobilization of Polish nationalists, the failure of the government’s school policy began before the development of a Polish nationalist movement in the 1890s and the outbreak of Polish resistance after the turn of the century. It was the outcome of a long succession of injustices and mistakes made by state officials. Their first error was to underestimate the difficulties, if not the impossibility, of teaching Polish children to speak and read German in the most impoverished and destitute school system in the Prussian state. Although Upper Silesia was the home of 1 million Polish-speaking inhabitants, the heartland of Polish culture and the center of the nationality struggle was Posen. Polish society in Posen was predominantly composed of agricultural laborers and peasants, but there existed also an indigenous nobility and middle-class groups that could provide a cadre of political leaders. The Catholic clergy were Polish and active in public life, unlike the priests in the diocese of Breslau who were mostly German and were under orders from Archbishop Kopp to refrain from antigovernment political activity. Clergymen of high rank represented the electoral districts of Posen in the Reichstag and the House of Deputies.

Abstract:
Education is believed to play an essential role in creating a sense of belonging amongst adolescents from refugee backgrounds. This narrative inquiry study set out to better understand the influence that relationships formed in one Canadian school community played in the development of a sense of belonging amongst female adolescent students from refugee backgrounds. Study participants were from Middle Eastern and East African origin and had been living in Canada for two-years or less. Data were collected over a five-month period through two sets of interviews, and a series of observations. Findings indicated the students from refugee backgrounds sense of belonging in school was strengthened by strong relationships with teachers from whom they perceived a genuine sense of support and care, which resulted in higher academic achievement. The study also conveyed that students felt that their Canadian-born peers largely ignored them in class, which resulted in increased feelings of social isolation and lack of belonging. The female student experience was further influenced by additional familial obligations and responsibilities.
