EXPLORING THE DYNAMICS BETWEEN TRADITIONAL AND NEW COMMERCIAL CENTER IN NABLUS: A SPACE SYNTAX ANALYSIS
(An-Najah National University, 2026-08-06) Barah, Lenda
The study investigates the spatial relationship between the traditional (the old city) and new commercial center (Midan al-Shuhada) - (al-dawar) in Nablus using a combined space syntax and agent-based modelling approach. It aims to understand how spatial configuration influences accessibility, movement patterns, and the overall performance of the urban network. The methodology is based on a comparative analysis of the existing spatial structure and a modified model incorporating proposed spatial strategies. Using DepthmapX, key syntactic measures-Integration, Choice, and Connectivity- are analyzed at multiple scales (R3, R5, Rn), with a focus on the local scale (R5), an agent-based model is applied to simulate pedestrian movement and evaluate how spatial changes affect movement distribution. The results show a highly centralized movement system in the existing condition, where accessibility and flow are concentrated along the main eastwest axis. The proposed strategies, which include strengthening secondary streets and improving network connectivity, significantly enhance spatial accessibility and local cohesion. Integration and connectivity analysis indicate a more balanced network structure, while Gate Count results confirm a redistribution of movement across multiple streets. However, choice analysis shows that movement remains partially dependent on the main axis, highlighting a gap between spatial potential and actual movement behavior. This suggest that improving accessibility alone is insufficient to fully redistribute movement. The study concludes that spatial configuration plays a critical role in shaping urban performance. It emphasizes the need for multi-scalar, spatially informed planning strategies to achieve a more balanced and resilient urban system in Nablus and similar contexts.
BETWEEN THE DIGITAL AND THE REAL: SOCIAL MEDIA USE AND IDENTITY CLARITY AMONG ARAB FEMALE ADOLESCENTS : THE MEDIATING ROLES OF SELF-ESTEEM AND ONLINE SELF-PRESENTATION
(An-Najah National University, 2026-08-20) Badarne, Esraa Nassar
This study looks at the relationship between social media use and identity clarity among Arab female adolescents in Palestine and the mediation role of self-esteem and online self-presentation in this relationship. The study uses a quantitative cross-sectional design and collected data from 414 Arab female adolescents aged 14–18 years. The participants were asked to complete a structured questionnaire that measures social media use, self-esteem, online self-presentation and identity clarity. Social media use was assessed through behavioural indicators. These are time spent on social media (intensity) as well as passive and active use. The study measured self-esteem using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Online self-presentation through an adapted scale that split approached this variable through two dimensions: digital authenticity and impression management. Finally, it used an adapted scale from identity development and self-concept clarity frameworks to measure identity clarity. The findings showed that the initial proposed model did not achieve acceptable fit. However, after theoretically supported modifications, the adjusted model achieved good fit and explained 30.1% of the variance in identity clarity. In this adjusted model, self-esteem and impression management had significant positive effects on identity clarity, whereas digital authenticity showed a small negative effect. Moreover, active social media use positively predicted identity clarity and negatively predicted self-esteem, while passive use positively predicted self-esteem. In addition, significant finding of this research was concerning time spent on social media, which showed a negative indirect effect on identity clarity through impression management. Finally, the findings showed that online self-presentation did not significantly moderate the relationship between self-esteem and identity clarity. The study significance is due to its contribution to clinical and developmental psychology on identity clarity within a Palestinian adolescent context, which remains limited. The study recommends further longitudinal and culturally sensitive research on adolescent identity, self-esteem, and online self-presentation in Arab and Palestinian contexts.
Midadium

This report presents the design and development of Midadium, an AI-powered Educational Management Platform built to transform the traditional learning experience in schools into an adaptive, interactive, and student-centred environment. The platform enables teachers to upload structured video lessons and define their instructional goals through guided forms. Students, in turn, can convert the lesson content into personalized formats—including flashcards, interactive games, summaries, and worksheets—based on their individual learning preferences. A core innovation of Midadium lies in its integration of artificial intelligence. Using Gemini APIs, the platform automatically analyses lesson content, generates dynamic learning resources, and processes student course reviews to offer AI-driven feedback to teachers. Once a course reaches a review threshold, the system synthesizes comments and presents constructive “Do” and “Don’t” recommendations to improve content and delivery. This feedback loop enhances the overall learning quality through continuous data-driven refinement. The platform further includes key educational features such as real-time chat between students and teachers, assignment creation and submission, role-based dashboards (admin, teacher, student), and real-time notification systems powered by Socket.IO. Teachers can manage lessons, assignments, course materials, and student progress through an intuitive interface, while students benefit from flexible content access and engagement tracking. Midadium was developed as both a mobile application and a web application using Flutter and Dart, with a backend powered by Node.js and MongoDB. Real-time chat functionality is enabled through Firebase, while Socket.IO powers the platform’s notification system. Over a three-month development cycle, the system was implemented with a modular architecture emphasizing scalability, usability, and seamless interaction. The platform demonstrates strong potential for enhancing digital education by offering personalized, intelligent, and accessible learning experiences tailored to diverse classroom needs.

Up to this point in time, many digital solutions have been created for all types of problems in the day to day activities. Despite these solutions people still visit supermarkets, shops, dealers, and restaurants etc. during these visits individuals may experience long drives, traffic and all sorts of unpleasant elements only to find out that the desired item, product, or service is not available. Which leads to the need of a solution that addresses this issue. A-Z Delivery was developed as proposed solution for this problem, it’s a detailed web platform as well as a mobile platform that facilitates the direct connection between a wide net of stores varying in all categories, restaurants, stores, and electronics, and all sorts of products and services. A-Z Delivery offers a mixed marketplace that gives the customers a chance to browse, order and receive products from various vendors that are local to the customer, it simply creates a web of connection between the customer and all the local stores and vendors around all in a user friendly platform. The creation of this platform simplifies the process of driving to multiple stores, browsing through many items in addition to dealing with all the unnecessary time wasting headaches of physically going out shopping while having to cancel plans or be excused from work. The idea for this project was inspired by having a centralized system that includes diverse stores that tend to the different needs of individuals as the same time, which separates it from all the existing delivery systems that have saturated the current market, not only that but it also includes a logistics system that people can use to transport personal items. JavaScript modern technologies was utilized to develop this project, as for the highly responsive and dynamic front-end interface React was used, as well as Node.js powers was used to develop the back-end server-side logic. The final developed system was developed, tested, and evaluated to make sure the system is reaching its potential when it comes to enhancing the customer’s convenience in addition to optimizing urban mobility by reducing the need for unnecessary travel.
