The Aesthetics of Jordanian Place in the Novel The Flood Notebooks by Jordanian Writer Samiha Khrais
This research studied and analyzed the aesthetics of the Jordanian place in the novel The Flood Notebooks by the Jordanian writer Samiha Khrais. The importance of this novel lies in the fact that it is a social-historical novel that depicts a Jordanian place in the 1930s. Its writer was able to combine truth with imagination to present an artistic work whose events are derived from history, yet it is not a historical document; rather, it is a work of art, and the writer excelled in its construction. The two researchers studied the place in this novel within the framework of specific dualities of both the historical and contemporary place, the open and closed place, and the real and symbolic place. The study of duality, or opposites, is at the heart of the structural studies of meaning, which took as its starting point the duality of phenomena, claiming that it is a characteristic of human thought. However, the present study will not stop at these dualities alone; rather, it will benefit from the current semiotics due to the interest they provide in structure and meaning and the ability to interpret texts according to the context in which they appear.

'Narrativity and Cognition: Early Mind-Driven Plots in Henry James's Notebook Synopses'
Inspired by a blend of narrativity studies and cognitive narrative theory, and based on an updated conception of the epistemic plot, this paper sets out to investigate how fictional cognition propels narrative progression from the earliest compositional stages of Henry James's tales as documented in his notebook synopses. Placed in a wider context, moreover, and given James's conviction of the storyness of the representation of consciousness, this paper also invites debate on his role as a remote harbinger of the narrativity of the mind, so characteristic of contemporary cognitive approaches to the fictional genre.

YOUR HONOR, AI
[...]they had been using the cyber court system since 2017. [...]as a consequence of being a non-government feature, it is an opt-in system. A joint study between Australia's Swinburne University Law School and Queensland University of Technology found that courts in the status quo were influenced by arbitrary factors like race or socioeconom- ic status. [...]because the judiciary as a collective body is composed of hundreds, if not thousands, of different judges, lawyers, and legal professionals, judgements were inconsistent across different courts. [...]in the particular case of AI lawyers as is in the United Kingdom, legal representation and just recourse has become much more accessible.

Patrick Modiano and the Mysteries of Paris, or, Making Ghosts Dance
Thomas examines the works of Patrick Modiano. Some of Modiano's novels have been compared to detective fiction, especially Rue des boutiques obscures (1978), whose narrator, a private detective himself, tries to recover his own lost identity, but the mysteries Modiano addresses are mysteries that cannot be solved--and something like menace pervades any attempt to find solutions.

CRISPR DREAMS
CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is not just a gene editing technique, but also a phenomenon that carries significant implications for the future of biotechnology. [...]the interactions between the countless players in this field and the objectives driving them are crucial to understanding CRISPR and the promise it holds. The organization removes the hassle and inefficiency of one-on-one lab requests for samples, a process that often took a long time and was often inaccurate. Since its inception, the lab has shared more than 42,000 CRISPR components with thousands of scientists across dozens of countries. According to Francis Collins, the director of the NIH, this will \"dramatically accelerate the translation of these technologies to the clinic for treatment of as many genetic diseases as possible.\"
