94. Al-Sharh/The Expansion

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

94:01
a. O The Prophet!
b. Have WE not opened up your heart,

94:02
a. and relieved you of your burden,

94:03
a. which had weighed heavily upon your back/mind?

94:04
a. And WE elevated the mention of your name in eminence and fame.

94:05
a. And so it is that with every hardship, indeed, there would always be ease/relief;

94:06
a. with every hardship, indeed, there would always be ease/relief.

94:07
a. So when you get free from routine work,
b. turn to devotion and exert yourself in worship,

94:08
a. and turn towards your Rabb - The Lord in awe and humbleness,
and let HIM be your quest!

The Extent to Which Pupils Have Adopted the Values of Middle School English Book Year Three

The present study aims at determining the extent to which the values, derived from the second-generation curriculum and introduced in the third-year middle school English book, are adopted by teenagers to help them overcome their identity crisis, in Algeria. To achieve this aim, two questionnaires applied to 70 third year teenage pupils were carried out. One prior to the study with the third year English book, the other one after the study.The results of the two questionnaires were compared and showed that the values total average has increased from 16.06 in the first questionnaire to 21.33 in the second. An increase has also been noticed in the averages of the four value dimensions: national identity (from 4.76 to 6.10), national awareness (from 3.63 to 5.36), citizenship (from 4.13 to 5.31) and openness to the world (from 3.50 to 4.50). The previous results confirm that there is an improvement in the values of pupils yet the commitment to the values of « openness to the world » dimension is still weak compared to the other ones and needs further research to be improved.

Synthesis and Characterization of Potentially Biologically Active Compunds Derived from Fibric Acids.

The present study deals with the synthesis of fibric acids derivatives. The thesis has been divided into three parts (1) Synthesis of fibric acids derivatives (2) Biological screening (3) In silicio studies. In the first part of thesis two fibric acids (2a & 2b) were synthesized from two phenols (1a & 1b) followed by their conversion into corresponding esters (3a & 3b) and carbohydrazides (4a & 4b). Cyclization of these carbohydrazides was carried out to synthesize 1,3,4-oxadiazoles (5a & 5b). In next step N-substituted-2-bromoacetamides (7a- 7y) were prepared by using various anilines (6a-6y). Two main series of compounds 8-30 and 31-50 were synthesized successfully by reacting 5-(2-aryloxypropan-2-yl)-1.3.4- oxadiazol-2-thiols (5a & 5b) with N-substituted-2-bromoacetamides (7a-7y). Characterization of the compounds was carried out through spectroscopic analysis.

For this purpose, protocols of anti-thrombotic (in vitro and in vivo) and anti-inflammatory activity (in vitro and in vivo) were followed. The anti-thrombotic activity (in vitro and in vivo) was performed to evaluate the FXa inhibition potential of newly synthesized compounds. In vitro, compounds 17, 27 and 36 showed higher % age of clot lysis than standard drug streptokinase; however the xvi remaining compounds showed moderate to good activities. In vivo, for compounds 9, 12, 13, 16, 17, 24, 27, 32, 36, 39, 41, and 48 enhanced clotting times (even better than standard drug heparin) were observed. Anti-inflammatory activity was performed to evaluate the COX-2 enzyme inhibition potential of fibric acids derivatives. In vitro, these compounds showed moderate to good activity while in vivo compounds 8, 9, 11, 12, 16, 17, 24, 34 and 48 showed results even better than standard drug diclofenic sodium. Compounds 14, 15, 19, 21, 31, 38 and 42 results were comparable to that of standard drug while remaining compounds exhibited moderate activity. In the last part of research work in silico studies were performed for selected compounds. For anti-thrombotic activity compounds 9-17 were docked against FXa protein. Except the compound 5a, all others showed higher docking score than the control ligand. In case of anti-inflammatory activity molecular docking of compounds 5a, 5b and 8-50 was carried out against COX-2 protein. All the compounds except 5a, 5b, 13 and 25 showed higher docking score than standard. Density functional theory (DFT) computed molecular properties of compounds 9-17 were also calculated by computational methodology. Results of biological activities showed good commitment with in silico study results. In future these compounds might be evaluated at molecular level.
