The struggle between two identities is a crucial subject everywhere. Some people travel abroad in quest of a new identity after struggling at home. People migrate and embrace a new identity for different reasons. They find themselves in a state of internal conflict as they navigate the tension between their newly adopted identities and their old ones. The individual is haunted and overwhelmed by their previous experiences. This research explores the universality of the subject matter by examining the motivations underlying the adoption of a new identity in a distinct geographical and temporal context. This paper examines the literary works of Kincaid's Lucy (1990) and Blasim's "The Nightmares of Carlos Fuentes" (2014). Kincaid’s protagonist lives an internal conflict as she yearns for the life she once lived with her family, while also attempting to establish a new identity in the United States. Blasim's narrative centers around a protagonist who experiences a profound internal conflict manifested via recurring nightmares pertaining to his Iraqi ethnicity. This study examines the subject matter via the lenses of psychology and postcolonial theory.

It is difficult to locate the median due to the presence of more than one dimension and the dispersion of values and the increase of the studied phenomenon data.The genetic algorithms Minimum Weighted Covariance Determinant Estimator (MWCD), was applied and compared with the multilayer neural network Back propagation to find the estimate of the median location based on the minimum distance (Mahalanobis Distance) and smallest specified for the variance matrix. Joint Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) as one of the most nonparametric methods robust. The stud

The assessment of tooth wear was based on the criteria of smith and knight, 1984. Results: The maximum tooth wear score for exposed workers was 84.2% while non exposed workers was 38.1%,with statistical differences between two g
