Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research
The Deanship of Graduate Studies and Scientific Research was established by a decree from the Board of Trustees of the University of Bahrain to encourage scientific research and undertake contractual researches and studies for both public and private sectors in all fields. And with what the Kingdom of Bahrain is witnessing with respect to a serious desire to leverage the level of higher education and graduate studies in order to achieve its economic vision, it became mandatory for the University of Bahrain to focus on graduate studies to keep pace with those long-term aspirations and ambitious development visions. As such, and for the sake of the university to introduce a vision towards distinguished publication for the scientific production, the university has secured all the financial and moral possibilities to publish scientific production (whether authored or translated), in order to become a strong source for knowledge production and dissemination.

Voltaire and Muslims: Tolerance of Difference
(2021-12-01) Aljenfawi, Khaled; Kuwait University; Kuwait
Using the Eighteenth-Century British Royal Exchange as his exemplary model,
Voltaire seemed to have imagined in his writings that individuals with different cultural and racial backgrounds can use their differences as a basis for tolerance. In Voltaire’s The Dictionnaire Philosophique especially, this improvised space of tolerance based on shared
commercial values provides a potential Enlightenment framework where the complex relations between Jews, Muslims, and Christians can still be a context for interaction and cooperation instead of conflicting differences. This paper will explore and discuss the extent to which Voltaire’s views represented actual tolerance of Muslims on one hand, and on the other a focus rather for his challenge to the French Catholic religion at the time.
Sociocultural study of Kuwaiti women’s beliefs of dietary behaviors during the antenatal period
(2021-12-01) Al-Sejari, Maha; Kuwait University; Kuwait
Pregnancy is a critical period associated with numerous emotional, physiological,
and social changes. Many factors affect pregnant women’s lifestyle behavior during this transitional period and, consequently, impact both the mother’s and the fetus’s life and health outcomes. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study that aims to identify from a medical anthropological perspective beliefs among Kuwaiti women who had previously been pregnant about food behaviors during the antenatal period. The main study tool is a questionnaire with two components (socio-demographic data and maternal beliefs of dietary habits during pregnancy) with a total of 32 items, distributed using nonrandom sampling to 619 Kuwaiti women. SPSS used for the data analysis. The data show a statistically significant relationship of participants’ age, religious affiliation, ethnic background, and educational level with their cultural beliefs about dietary habits during the antenatal period
(P < 0.05).

Contemporary digital currency: Its nature and relevant jurisdictions
(2021-12-01) Aljulayel, Albandari Abdullah; Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University; Saudi Arabia
Encrypted digital currencies have emerged in the modern era and have spread rapidly in the financial markets, which is a new and disturbing phenomenon in the economic medium worldwide. Its emergence has called for evaluating their repercussions at all levels. The opinions were divided into two: those who see them as the new future of money and those
who see them as a global economic bomb throughout history .However, they have gained widespread fame in recent times, which requires clarifying the rule of dealing with it legally. The most important results of the research are presented in the following points. First, the digital currencies are a type of currency available only in digital form and have no actual existence. Second, the right of monetary issuance is a special assignment of the State in accordance with its applicable laws. Third, the digital currencies contain the
disease of high pricesand therefore they are subject to the provisions of the legitimacy related to cash. Fourth, they also face economic, technical and legal risks, and dealing with them includes ignorance and risk.Therefore, it is not permissible for people to deal with these digital currencies, which do not meet the criteria that are considered legitimate and legal so as to stand against fraud, especially if the ban is supported by a judgment rendered by official authorities that invalidate their wish.
Portuguese presence in the Persian Gulf in the sixteenth century: causes and consequences
(2021-12-01) Alkhalifa, Abdulla Bin Ali; University of Bahrain; Bahrain
Portugal was the first European country that was able to reach the Arabian Gulf region via its route to the Indian subcontinent and East Asia. This granted it the opportunity to emerge as a colonial power in the sixteenth century and vie for colonies with other European powers. Its colonial activities began by sending missions under the guise of trade in order to
extend its control and influence in the world, as it set its sights on the American continents to the west and Africa and Asia to the east. Portugal was the first European country to covet the bounties of the East by sending its naval fleets to India to monopolize the spice trade and plunder the wealth of the East. The Portuguese colonial presence in the East had led to the establishment of the Portuguese East India Company, accompanied by a modern and heavy military presence, using violence and torture to monopolize the spice trade and the
products of Asian countries in general. It then made significant inroads into Arabian Gulf territory between Basra in the north, and Muscat in the south. The colonization of these areas was driven by political, religious, and economic reasons. The abhorrent colonization of the Arabian Gulf region (Yemen, Oman Hormuz, Bahrain) under Portuguese military commander Alfonso Albuquerque, leadership aimed to plunder the region resources and
deprive its peoples of them Nevertheless, it ran into serious political and security problems, notably the awakening of the Arab nationalist consciousness in people and the intense rivalry with other colonial powers such as Britain and the Netherlands. These problems were further compounded by issues arising in the management of East India Company, which was running Portuguese commercial transactions, culminating in Portugal’s withdrawal from the scene, hence the loss of spheres of influence.
