The center of heritage revival organizes workshop (Maryam Bint Alatar)

under the supervision of Professor Dr. Alaa Nafi Jassim, the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage organized  a workshop entitled(Maryam Bint Al-Attar) , on Monday 5/6/2024. The lecture was given by Professor Dr. Wijdan fareeq Enad (one of the teaching team at our center). Knowing Maryam bint Al-Attar is a historical figure about whom very little and brief information is provided, hardly enough to draw a clear picture of her. It is a general characteristic of the personalities who lived through the last period of the Islamic presence in Andalusia. There are quite a few names that we find influential in historical events, but the sources are silent about explaining their biography, including the leader Musa bin Abi Al-Ghassan, to name but a few. From the fragments scattered in the depths of the novels, the researcher in history, by applying the historical research method, tries to complete the weaving of the threads, trying to find an image, even if it is vague, about it. Sometimes the researcher loads these summaries more than they can bear, thus moving away from the historical truth to a great extent. Among these is Maryam bint Al-Attar, about whom there is no information in the sources except to the extent that makes the student of the history of that time period surprised by what social media publishes about her, which is dominated by repetition and imagination without reference to the sources of the information mentioned.

Was an Adel Abdulwahab (one of the center’s professors who talks that n the past, health risks associated with climate change included the spread of infectious diseases such as high fever and plague as a result of changes in temperature and the growth of bacteria and viruses that cause diseases. There were also risks of drought and lack of clean water. Which led to nutritional deficiency and the spread of water diseases. The impacts of climate change on public health require coordinated efforts to develop strong and sustainable health responses.

Thermal extremes, whether extreme cold or high temperature, will lead to organic physiological disorders in humans and thus illness or death. One of the proven outcomes of climate change is an increase in the rate of disease and death rates associated with heat, mainly heat waves that cause stress, as excess heat causes heat stress that increases the severity of illness and death rates.
