Egypt is important to be the object of research because it represents one of the universities considering those who are familiar with writing. In addition, according to Al-Hajiri, Egypt is a state of the Middle East (Arab) in the world of philology in modern times. This can be seen from the attention and philology activities carried out by Egyptian researchers who have preceded researchers from other Arab countries. During the Abbasiyah dynasty, in the government of Khalifahal-Mansur (754-775), HarunAlrasyid (786-809), and al-Makmun (809-833) manuscript studies and knowledge and knowledge about policy making, and policy developments related to the development of government al-Makmun. Hunain was one of the most prolific translators of the time and had the most knowledge. He mastered Arabic, Greek, and Syriac (syiria). The scientific activities carried out by Hunain bin Ishaq are quite interesting and very useful for other scientists. among others, inventorying any Greek manuscripts that have been translated into Syriac (Syrian) or Arabic, and other texts that have never been translated. Besides Hunain, the historical translator of classical works also replaced the names of great contemporary interpreters from Nestorian and Jacobite Christians such as Ibn Na'imah and al-Himshi (835 AD), Abu BisyrMatta (900 AD), Yahya bin Adi (974 AD ) and others. The only prominent Muslim translator today is Tsabit bin Qurra. Thanks to the dedication of these translators, Aristotle's logical thoughts were increasingly recognized and understood in the Arab world.                  Mesir penting untuk menjadi objek penelitian karena merupakan salah satu universitas yang akrab dengan tulisan. Selain itu, menurut Al-Hajiri, Mesir adalah negara Timur Tengah (Arab) di dunia filologi di zaman modern. Ini bisa dilihat dari perhatian kegiatan filologi yang dilakukan oleh peneliti Mesir daripada peneliti lainnya di negara-negara Arab lainnya. Selama dinasti Abbasiyah, pada pemerintahan Khalifah al-Mansur (754-775), Harun Alrasyid (786-809), dan studi naskah al-Makmun (809-833) dan pengetahuan tentang pembuatan kebijakan, dan perkembangan kebijakan terkait dengan pengembangan pemerintahan al-Makmun. Hunain adalah salah satu penerjemah paling produktif saat itu dan memiliki pengetahuan paling banyak. Dia menguasai bahasa Arab, Yunani, dan Syria (syiria). Kegiatan ilmiah yang dilakukan oleh Hunain bin Ishaq cukup menarik dan sangat bermanfaat bagi ilmuwan lain. antara lain, menginventarisasi naskah-naskah Yunani yang telah diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Syria (Syria) atau Arab, dan teks-teks lain yang belum pernah diterjemahkan. Selain Hunain, penerjemah historis dari karya-karya klasik juga menggantikan nama-nama penerjemah besar kontemporer dari Kristen Nestorian dan Jacobite seperti Ibn Na'imah dan al-Himshi (835 M), Abu BisyrMatta (900 M), Yahya bin Adi (974 M) ) dan lain-lain. Satu-satunya penerjemah Muslim terkemuka saat ini adalah Tsabit bin Qurra. Berkat dedikasi para penerjemah ini, pemikiran logis Aristoteles semakin diakui dan dipahami di dunia Arab.   Keywords: Philology, development of the Arab World, Middle East, Egypt

The world has been surprised by the emergence of a COVID 19 pandemic, was born in China, and widespread to various countries in the world. In Indonesia, the government issued several policies to break the COVID 19 pandemic chain, which also triggered some pro-cons in the midst of society. One of the policies government takes is the closure of learning access directly at school and moving the learning process from physical class to a virtual classroom or known as online learning. In the economic sector also affects the parents’ financial ability to provide sufficient funds to support the implementation of distance learning applied by the government. The implications of the distance education policy are of course the quality of learning, including the subjects of Islamic religious education, which is essentially aimed at planting knowledge, skills, and religious consciousness to form the character of the students. Online education must certainly be precise, in order to provide equal education services to all students, prepare teachers to master the technology, and seek the core learning of Islamic religious education can still be done well.

Increasingly alone as a stable republican nation in Latin America, Chile has long been a favorite subject for North American scholars and journalists. Every six years, as it faces a presidential election, the world press breathlessly rediscovers that this long slim country confronts its public problems within the framework of a developed, democratic political system. When in 1964 Chile placed a young idealistic party in power behind Eduardo Frei, an unquestionably intelligent figure of austere but charismatic bearing, this country became a favorite model for the advocates of democratic reformism in Latin America and soon was receiving the highest United States foreign aid per capita in Latin America. Thus it came as a shock that the Chilean electorate could turn its back on Frei's administration in 1970 by favoring the rightist and Marxist candidates. For those who saw in the government of Frei a basic alternative to Marxist models for Latin America, the free election of an avowed Marxist as the President of Chile presents additional problems.

This study addresses the controversial question of which is more effective; teaching to the test, or teaching to communicate. It also highlights the viewpoints of some scholars about tests in different regions of the world; the Middle East and the West. The content of the research embedded in this article shows that there are a number of teachers who still believe in teaching to test following the traditional method, while some others think tests -especially in the elementary phase- cause anxiety, chaos and disappointment, and should be ruled out as a means of assessing students. In the Arab World, tests are still considered the main criterion by which students prove eligible to move to upper classes and get admitted to university programs. To provide the readers with a more concrete grasp of the discussed viewpoints, a questionnaire has been distributed among sixty-five male and female students taking English courses in the Foundation Program at Ibri College of Applied Sciences- the Sultanate of Oman. The results, implications, and applications will be discussed throughout this article while tackling the two major controversial issues: teaching to test or communicate.

Entrepreneurship is a worldwide reality. Since the beginning of times and all around the world people have created businesses. Entrepreneurial orientation, from a macroeconomic perspective, allows income and employment generation, thus boosting growth. At the microeconomic level, it is a competition booster playing a central role in a globalized market. In this entrepreneurial ecosystem in which knowledge-based activity is the core booster of employment, economic growth, and competitiveness, universities and, in particular, entrepreneurial universities play either the role of knowledge production and dissemination. The present work aims to understand the role of education (formal and entrepreneurship) on entrepreneurial activity combined with heterogeneous individual characteristics and different cultures and geographies. Specifically, the study identifies substitution and complementary effects among both types of education according to individual taxonomies.

There are few figures as universally beloved and yet recognizably “Middle Eastern” as Sindbad. The text of Sindbad's seven voyages travel easily across continents and languages and many of the tales blur imperceptibly into those of Homer'sThe Odysseyand Swift'sGulliver's Travels. Yet this swashbuckling adventurer is also firmly situated in the world of Abbasid Iraqandthe Indian Ocean world. Sindbad is clearly identified as a good Muslim and respected Baghdadi merchant, and while fantastical, there are recognizable geographic and cultural markers that locate his voyages within the Indian Ocean world. This iconic character of Arab popular culture pushes us to contemplate how easily the Arab world flows into that of the Indian Ocean.

Today, the problem of poverty has emerged as a global problem in all countries of the world. Due to the difference in economic development, poverty is different and has a relative meaning. Prevention and reduction of poverty and improving the quality of life of the people, increasing the interest and aspirations of women in women's entrepreneurship, creating favorable conditions for the development of their entrepreneurial activities are the main foundations of today's reforms. In a country where there is a gap between the incomes of the population, it is clear that there will be poor people. Therefore, poverty cannot be eradicated, but it can be reduced through the development of entrepreneurship. The poverty rate is inversely proportional to the economic level of the country, i.e., in developed economies, the poverty rate is low, and in weak economies it is high. The whole world has turned its attention to solving this problem. The accession of the Republic of Uzbekistan to global economic processes requires more active participation of women in the economic life of the country. Entrepreneurship is becoming an independent factor of women's sexual freedom in the economic sphere. At a time when society is renewing and entering the world economy, the development of women's entrepreneurship is encouraged. This is the main source of development of the real sector of the economy. Through the socio-economic development of women's entrepreneurship, it is possible to observe a certain positive effect on achieving sustainable economic development of the country, especially in the prevention of poverty. This article highlights the role of women's entrepreneurship in the country's economy and the problems in its development and their solutions, conclusions and recommendations.
