SUMMARY This research documents the initial finding of Chloris pycnothrix Trin., frequently referred to as spiderweb chloris, in Libya, particularly from the Ariggiba region close to Sabha city. This grass, originating from tropical and subtropical regions, is versatile and may become invasive. It was recognized via morphological examination during field surveys in 2023–2024, with samples stored in a herbarium. The species flourishes in alluvial plains as well as in disturbed habitats like road shoulders. It can be mistaken for Chloris virgata, although they differ in some important morphological aspects. It was previously believed that only one species of Chloris existed in Libya. This study provides a revision and an identification key for them in the context of Libyan flora. The tolerant nature of C. pycnothrix to drought, combined with its ability to colonize poorly maintained land, makes its potential introduction—most likely through anthropogenic means—alarming ecologically and emphasizes the need for management strategies to contain its spread and monitor its impact. 

Abstract The knowledge of the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups is important for the blood bank's successful administration and necessary for the blood transfusion services among the population. The aim of this current study was to determine the distribution of blood groups of ABO and Rh in Yefren City, Libya. The distribution of ABO and Rhesus blood groups showed that the O group was found to be the highest with a percent (45.06%), followed by the A group (31.27%), B (18.62%), and the least distribution was the AB group (5.05%). Furthermore, our results presented Rh donors: Rh positive was 80.46%, and Rh negative was 19.54%. This study probably provided information about the distribution of blood groups through the population in Yefren.

Abstract

This research investigates the challenges that encountered Libyan English Teachers of implementing technology in teaching English to students in Ghyrian University. Data were collected through focused observations and semi-structured interviews. According to the data analysis, the primary obstacles that EFL Teachers at Ghyrian University encounter when attempting to teach using technology were the absence of computers, internet access, technical support, and teachers who possess the necessary skills and expertise. Additionally, it was found that higher education teachers have a favourable opinion on the usage of technology in the classroom. In order to accomplish the goal of the teaching and learning process, the study concludes that the EFL curriculum in Ghyrian university must take into account integrating technology into education.

مؤخرًا برزت عدة تساؤلات حول طبيعة علاقة الذكاء الاصطناعي بالذكاء البشري، فالهدف من هذه الدراسة هو مناقشة فرضية أن العلاقة بين الذكاءين يجب أن تُبنى على التكامل لا على التنافس. واعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي من خلال مراجعة الأدبيات الحديثة التي تناولت الإمكانات التكاملية بينهما.. كما واوصت الدراسة بتبني اطار تعاوني تشاركي (الذكاء التشاركي) والذي يعزز التفاعل الايجابي بين الانسان والآلة..

This research investigated the challenges medical university students encounter in learning

technical vocabulary. A quantitative research approach was adopted. 61 first-year medical

students at the University of Gharyan participated in the study. A structured questionnaire was

used to gather the data. The findings revealed that medical university students encounter

several challenges in medical vocabulary learning, including pronunciation, spelling, meaning and use. The results also indicated that medical university students struggle to recall some

medical terms, which could be attributed to cognitive overload. The researchers suggest

revaluating the current English medical programs at the Faculties of Medicine in Libya.

Teaching vocabulary in context, highlighting the grammatical categories of words, drawing

distinctions between synonyms through examples, and training students on using medical

words through interactive activities could enhance the current English medical programs.
