Abstract :

Antibody tests can identify people with a resolving or past severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and thereby help researchers and public health experts better understand the epidemiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. This study is a retrospective study that included 187 Libyan individuals, who attended Attshkhesy (the diagnostic) laboratory in Alkhoms City, Libya, between January 01, 2021, and August 28, 2021. The mean ages of males and females were 48.8 and 46.8, respectively. The study utilized the CLIA quantitative antibody test. To perform the CLIA quantitative antibody test, a high throughput assay apparatus known as the YHLO - iFlash 1800 Chemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer was utilized, along with assay reagents called iFlash-SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG (manufactured by YHLO Biotech, Shenzhen, China). In female subjects, the concentration of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 IgM was higher than that of IgG in all age groups. Interestingly, in male subjects, the results showed the opposite, where the concentration of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 IgG was much higher than that of IgM in all age groups. When male data were plotted against the female data, the concentration of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 IgM in females was much higher than that of IgM in males in all age groups. Merged IgM-male and IgM-female results showed that IgM concentrations were higher in females than males at all age groups, which means that the incidence of recent COVID-19 infection was higher in females than in males. On the other hand, the IgG antibody prevalence in females was always higher than in males except at age groups 41-50 years and 51-60 years, which can be used as an indicator of high acquired immunity among females due to possible reinfection of females with COVID-19 virus.

L'introduction de cet essai cherche à montrer l'importance croissante de la langue française en Libye, qui se retrouve au centre d'interactions culturelles et économiques dans le pays. L'influence passée et coloniale de la France a laissé une marque importante sur les relations entre les deux pays et sur le système éducatif libyen. Ainsi, savoir parler français devient un enjeu majeur pour les Libyens, que ce soit pour trouver des emplois ou pour mieux comprendre les cultures qui parlent français. Dans un monde de plus en plus interconnecté, le français n'est pas seulement un outil de communication, mais aussi une porte qui s'ouvre vers de nouvelles opportunités, académiques et sociales. L'image montre cette dynamique à travers une étude de la production académique qui soutient l'enseignement du français en Libye, mettant en lumière les défis actuels de cette compétence linguistique.

Several methods are used as tools for family planning and to avoid unintended pregnancies. It is important for healthcare providers to consider various factors when discussing contraceptive options with patients. This study explored the most commonly preferred methods pf contraception by Libyan women. Age of the women and number of children as well as women’ education were the most significant factors that influence selection of the contraception method. Results of the current study emphasized the need for more family education programs that provide more details about new methods of contraception as Libyan women seems to use more traditional methods of contraception.

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to focus on the selection of TESOL research participants. It was noted that many EFL postgraduate students face problems regarding the selection of participants for their TESOL research. Therefore, this paper reviews the literature on sampling research in general and within the discipline of TESOL. The paper clarifies the terms and strategies used in selecting research participants. By understanding and applying the principles and methods of sampling designs, EFL postgraduate students can enhance the validity and reliability of their research findings and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of TESOL research. Keywords: TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), Selection of research participants, EFL post graduate students
