Sebastian Faulk’s novel, Human Traces (2006), embarks on a new trend in contemporary English fiction. Through its representations of two main protagonists, pioneers in the field of psychology between the 1870s and 1918, Faulks traces the formative years of the development of the young discipline of psychiatry. Even though Faulks works in the realist traditions of Charles Dickens and George Eliot, yet he delves into such major questions as the role of unconscious motivations in human individual behaviour, the causes of mental illness, and the very attempt to understand the nature of the human being. The time frame of the novel expands from the portrayal of the struggles and relationships of a handful of individuals, to encompass the entire sweep of human evolution. Thus, Faulks in Human Traces introduces a radically new dimension in the development of the novel. This paper offers an attempt at evaluating the innovative thematic and technical achievement of a major work of modern fiction.

The study’s purpose is to investigate the impact of selected factors (Computer self-efficacy (CSE), subjective norms (SN), perceived enjoyment (PE), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitude) on university students’ intention to use e-learning. The objective of this paper is to advance a conceptual framework to better understand the factors that could affect the intention of students to use e-learning in Lebanese universities. The collection of the data was from 444 private universities students in Lebanon. The SEM analysis had been used to assess the influence of these components to intend e-learning system. All proposed relationships are accepted in the framework expected the relationships between Computer self-efficacy (CSE) and subjective norms (SN) on perceived usefulness are rejected. In addition, relationships between subjective norms and perceived enjoyment on perceived ease of use (PEOU) are rejected. Finally, results are discussed then conclusions and future research are presented.

This paper investigates whether or not banks in the MENA region are susceptible to failures. Two z score models are investigated in predicting the health of ninety banks across ten countries. Using discriminant and regression analysis, one can determine which ratios are statistically significant in predicting the health of the selected banks and which zone they belong to safe, grey, or distressed zone. The study spans the years 2006 to 2016. The goal of this study is to compare two z scores to assess if banks within MENA are subject to failure. According to the findings of this study, the Z score developed by El Ansary may be a better way for emerging economies to measure the indicators that rigger banks' risk level.

The paper’s purpose is to investigate the influence of selected elements (Accessibility, personal innovativeness (PI), resistance to change, facilitating conditions, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitude) on university students’ to intend e-learning usage. The objective of this paper is to advance a conceptual framework to analyze and to recognize the intention of students to use e-learning in Lebanese private universities. The collection of the data was from 444 private universities students in Lebanon. The SEM analysis had been used to evaluate the influence of these components to intend e-learning system. The results stated that relationships between accessibility on perceived usefulness are not accepted. Furthermore, the associations between (PI) and PEOU are also not accepted. However, all other relationships are accepted in the framework model. Finally, results discussed then conclusions and future research are presented.

Le Liban, un pays riche artistiquement et intellectuellement, est la scène par excellence d’un enchainement de catastrophes depuis sa naissance jusqu’à nos jours. L’explosion du port de Beyrouth le 4 Août 2020 en constitue l’ultime épisode et peut-être le plus dramatique de tous. Un phénomène inédit s’est révélé suite à cette tragédie sans précédent : la scène culturelle s’est immédiatement mobilisée sans passer par une étape mnésique post catastrophe comme c’est en général le cas après un désastre. Que s’est-il passé ? Pourquoi une telle urgence ? Comment les artistes ont-ils utilisé leur créativité pour exprimer l’indicible, le penser, en témoigner, sensibiliser et commencer un processus de guérison des blessures traumatiques ? Afin de répondre à cette problématique, nous allons explorer une création post-catastrophe relevant des arts visuels. L’exposition L'Art Blessé présentée du 16 décembre 2020 au 16 janvier 2021 à La Villa Audi, propose une série d’oeuvres sinistrées provenant de collections privées beyrouthines. Les dommages subis vont engendrer une mise en abyme où les traces se métamorphosent en oeuvre dans l’oeuvre. La scénographie de l’architecte Jean Louis Mainguy, accompagnée de poèmes et de musique, est ancrée dans l’interdisciplinarité.
黎巴嫩是一个在艺术和智力上都很富有的国家，从诞生到现在，它是一系列灾难的完美发生地。2020年8月4日发生在贝鲁特港口的爆炸是最新的，也许是最具戏剧性的事件。在这场前所未有的悲剧之后，出现了一种前所未有的现象:文化场景立即被动员起来，而没有经历灾难后通常发生的记忆阶段。发生了什么?为什么如此紧急?艺术家们如何运用他们的创造力来表达、思考、见证、提高意识，并开始一个愈合创伤的过程?为了解决这个问题，我们将探索灾后视觉艺术创作。“受伤的艺术”展览将于2020年12月16日至2021年1月16日在奥迪别墅举行，展出贝鲁特私人收藏的一系列受损作品。所遭受的损害将产生一个深渊，其中的痕迹在工作中变形。建筑师Jean Louis Mainguy的透视，伴随着诗歌和音乐，是跨学科的。
