The industrial design occupies an important status in public and private life activities, because it contains a group of interactive, productive, and interconnected institutions, which is confirmed by Descartes who is credited for promoting the method of skepticism on sound foundations, showing that in order for us to search for the truth, we must suspect everything that we confront let it be once in our life time, especially our options in the scientific research and industrial design and product, starting from the knowledge heritage and the intellectual concepts that ascend to the levels of the functional, aesthetic and environmental performance, the significance of skepticism becomes clear. The research problem lies in this question: Do the foundations of skepticism enable the industrial designer to reframe the design idea aesthetically and functionally? The research aims to find a relation between the concepts of the skepticism and the intellectual values of the industrial designer. That was the most prominent part in chapter one. As for the second chapter, it consists of two sections. The first is titled skepticism conceptually. The second section is concerned with the orientations of Cartesian skepticism and its reflections on the designer and the industrial product. The third chapter consists of the research procedures, that the content analysis method has been adopted in order to achieve the research objectives. The research community consists of the products (floating car, bracelet telephone, ring telephone) manufactured in Germany. The most important results have been reached at in chapter four including:
1- The relation between the Cartesian skepticism and the technical values indicates three-dimensional perceptions of floating products from the world of imagination, illusion and fantasy.
2- The problem of functional suitability is considered one of the fundamental considerations taken in designing the industrial product and according to the results, a number of conclusions have been reached at the most important of which are:
1- The products lacked the ability to compete with similar products in focusing on the aesthetic perspective, whereas the performative one, as a partial substitute in the product design structure.
2- Mathematical encryption algorithms are considered the most important systems for skepticism treatment in the design system.
E.M. Forster (1879-1970) is one of the important novelists who dealt with the personal and social lives of the people in England during the early beginning of the twentieth century. During his literary career, he developed gradually his views about man and his position in society.
In his first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1902), the focus is laid on local and personal issues in the lives of the characters. It is limited to the relations between neighbours in small communities. Though the setting is shifted to Italy, Forster does not make full use of this shift to present cultural or racial conflicts; rather he limits his plot to the private tr

It seeks to determine the channel’s level of attention to Middle Eastern issues in talk shows, the nature of the guests invited, the methods used to address the issues, and the professional characteristics of the program host. The study is descriptive-analytical in nature and relies on content analysis of episodes of the weekly talk show “A Week in the World” on France 24 during the period from August 1, 2017, to July 31, 2018. The main findings indicate that foreign Arabic-speaking channels pay attention to covering Middle Eastern issues, especially political and milita

Albee's men and women are middle-class couples who find themselves entrapped in a meaningless world. Most, if not all, of Albee's men are detached from their wives due to existential problems or middle- age crises. Women, therefore find themselves obliged to sustain their husbands and marriages alone. Women in Albee's élan are cynical, frustrated, articulate as well as brave, strong and domineering.
Marriage Play is one of Albee’s works that tackled such image of these women. The play was comm

It is prevalent in shelters and birthplace colonies and frequently infects kitten cats. 50 distinct cats were involved in the research, with samples acquired between October 2020 and January 2021. Swabs were taken from the oropharynx and conjunctiva, conditional on the signs of FCV disease septicity, to inspect viral nucleic acid from collecting samples, then extract the RNA from the swabs and turn it into a cDNA particle, and finally distinguishing the open reading frame nucleic acid gene 2 using a primer special for feline calicivirus, All specimens were taken
