Item Restricted Finding Room for the Creative Class: Introducing El Gouna Innovation Hub(2019-05-19) Riad, Ayman; Dietrich Henckel, Rudolf Schäfer, Heba Safyeldeen.Creative industries have become pivotal in urban development and regeneration. Due to this fact, Egypt is aiming to embrace the international wave of creativity. However, the concentration of urban settlements, infrastructure, services and economic activities in Greater Cairo and Alexandria blocks the opportunity of economic equality and prosperity in the rest of the country. This thesis suggests that the creative class could break the chain and help in equalizing urban planning disparities in Egypt. The aim of the thesis is to introduce an interdisciplinary pilot feasibility study for a creative neighborhood in El Gouna, an Egyptian resort located on the Red Sea 25 kilometers North Hurghada. The study begins with reviewing relevant planning theories related to innovative hubs and their linkage to economic development. El Gouna case is unique in the Egyptian context since the town is owned by a private developer who is independent from the government strategies. Accordingly, a brief analysis of the town will be introduced. Aspects of urban planning, infrastructure, economy, ecology and laws are to be analyzed. The resultant is a pilot feasibility study for initiating an innovative hub imbedded in the context of El Gouna. Positive agreement and initiatives have already appeared by the owner company to inhabit the innovative hub in the downtown area that is planned to be gentrified.Item Restricted Eco- Friendly Museum(2021) Hicham, Omar.; Ragab, Sherif.Item Restricted National Engineering Technology Museum (Science Museum)Mechatronics.(2021) Ahmed, Aly.; Mahmoud, Ahmed.Item Restricted Accuracy of conventional and digital impressions at different span lengths of missing teeth : (In-Vitro study).(2022) El-Sheikh, Nada Ali Mohamed,; Supervised : Rana Sherif, Mostafa Hussein .Impression taking is a crucial step in prosthodontics, as the quality of the final prosthesis and its long term survival depends on the accuracy of this process. Conventional impressions are the most common in the clinical practice; conventional workflows and CAD/CAM technologies can be combined through indirect digitization. However, new digital techniques allow the full digitization of the workflow, by the use of IOSs. The main feature to be evaluated in an intraoral scanner is accuracy. According to ISO 12836, the accuracy of an impression technique is defined in terms of trueness and precision. Trueness is defined as the difference in measurement between the reference model and the scan model and precision is the difference in measurement between digital models created using the same impression technique. This in-vitro study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of three different impression techniques at three different span length bridges. For full arch prostheses and FPDs with more than 5-units, digital impressions do not seem as accurate as conventional impressions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the accuracy in terms of trueness and precision of conventional and digital scanning (direct and indirect) techniques on different span length bridges. The bridge preparations were done on acrylic typodont models (Nissin, Kyoto, Japan) with the aid of a dental surveyor. Three different impression techniques were used, a conventional PVS impression material (Elite HD+ putty soft and light body consistencies), an intraoral scanner (CEREC Primescan) and an extraoral scanner (Medit Identica t300). The three groups (3,4 and 6-unit bridges) were divided into 3 subgroups according to the impression technique received (PVS, Primescan and Medit t300). For the trueness measurement, the three different bridge types were scanned using a desktop scanner (inEos X5) which was used as the reference scanner to obtain the reference datasets (REF STL files). The different impression techniques were used to record five different impressions (n=5) for each bridge span type and with the help of a reverse engineering 3D analysis software (Geomagic Control X), the digitized measurement models were superimposed on the reference to calculate the amount of deviation or RMS value of error. For the precision measurement, the calculations were done within each subgroup. Each scan was considered as the reference superimposing the remaining 4 scans in pairs to calculate the amount of deviation or RMS value of error. Color difference maps and reports were generated for all of the test groups. Data was recorded, tabulated and analyzed. Statistical work was done using the two-way ANOVA test. Results Regarding the different span length bridges, the best trueness and precision values were recorded for the 3-unit posterior followed in descending order by the 4-unit posterior and 6-unit anterior bridges for all three impression techniques. Regarding the impression technique, the best trueness values were recorded by Primescan followed by PVS and Medit t300. The best precision values were recorded by Medit t300 followed by Primescan and then PVS, all of which showed statistically significant difference.Item Restricted Effect of Nano forms of propolis and antibiotic pastes as canal medicaments on radicular dentin micro-hardness and chemical structure : (In vitro study).(2022) Abdel-Elnasser, Aya Gamal,; Supervisor : Abeer Abdel Hakim El-Gendy, Amr Bayoumi.The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Propolis and Antibiotic Pastes (Double and Triple) in both Micro and Nano-forms on radicular dentin micro-hardness and chemical structure. Forty-two extracted human single rooted mandibular premolars were collected with mature apices and one root canal. Those teeth were deidentified and checked radiographically. The forty-two teeth were classified into three different experimental groups equally (14 each) according to the type of testing materials; group A (Propolis-PRP), group B (Double antibiotic paste- DAP) and group C (Triple antibiotic paste-TAP). Each group will be subdivided into two subgroups (7 each) according to the particle size used to prepare the medicament either Micro or Nano-sized. Subgroup A1 (Micro-PRP), subgroup A2 (Nano-PRP), subgroup B1 (Micro-DAP), subgroup B2 (Nano-DAP), subgroup C1 (Micro- TAP) and subgroup C2 (Nano-TAP). Teeth were decoronated to a standard 16 mm, an apical patency was checked using K-file #10 then 1mm was subtracted in order to establish an accurate working length. Mechanical preparation was done using Mpro three files rotary system with 3ml of 2.6% sodium hypochlorite irrigation with manual dynamic agitation subsequent to each filing step. Canals were rinsed with saline as a final flush and dried with paper point. The prepared samples were subjected to longitudinal sectioning resulting in buccal and lingual halves by an isomet. All buccal halves considered as the experimental half while lingual halves considered as the coronal half. Each half was mounted in acrylic resin for easy material application and machine testing. Each lumen was encircled by pink wax to preserve medicament in place. Each experimental group received precisely 1 ml of the assigned medicament for each subgroup. Then samples left untouched and stored for two weeks in 37C° and 100% humidity in incubator. After 14 days, 2.5% NaOCL irrigation using ultrasonic file # 15 for one minute with power 9 was used in order to remove and wash away the applied medicaments. Following that, the lumens were flushed thoroughly with 5ml distilled water. Samples were subjected to the Vickers micro-hardness and an Energy Dispersive Xray- Scanning Electron Microscope (EDX-SEM) test to check both the control and experimental group’s micro-hardness and chemical structure. Moreover, both control and experimental samples were fixed in the Vickers machine in a manner allowing the sample’s half to face upward toward the machine indenter. Three indentations have been done at coronal, middle and apical levels. The indenter was placed smoothly at 1 μm form the lumen, creating indentations at the edge towards the dentin outer border using 50 g load for 10 seconds. The indenters were measured using an optical microscope connected to a digital camera with image analysis software. After the load is removed, the indentation is focused with the magnifying eye piece and the two impression diagonals were measured, usually to the nearest 0.1- μm with a micrometer, and averaged. The final hardness values were obtained as the mean of each three indentation readings. Furthermore, the same specimens both control and experimental were subjected to a specific type of x-ray that would be detected by an EDX detector at the root parts that are devoid of previous indentations. The detector was placed in a very close angle to the sample’s half, detecting the generated photons of the x-ray; to predict the integrity of this sample. Afterwards; the halves were introduced into the scanning electron microscope that is already attached to EDX. Evaluation, analyzation and detection of any morphological and structural changes within the samples were made, at accelerating voltage 30 K.V magnification14x up to 1000000 and resolution for Gun.1nm. Upon comparing the outcomes, the results showed that the material and root canal level had a statistically significant effect on the median percentage change on root dentin micro-hardness. DAP as an intracanal medicament had the greatest effect regarding percentage reduction on dentin micro-hardness, followed by Nano-TAP. Also, with respect to root levels, there was no significant difference found at the coronal root level. However, DAP and Propolis had the highest statistically significant median percentage decrease in micro-hardness at the middle root level, while Nano-TAP had the highest statistically significant median % reduction in micro-hardness at apical root levels. Upon comparing chemical structure outcomes, the results showed that there was a statistically significant mean calcium weight % difference found between canal medicaments at different root levels. Control group had the highest statistically significant mean calcium weight %, whereas Propolis had the lowest statistically significant mean calcium weight % among the groups at different root levels. Additionally, the coronal root level had the highest statistically significant mean calcium weight % among middle and apical root levels. In addition, the results showed that there was a statistically significant mean phosphorus weight % difference found between canal medicaments at different root levels. Propolis group had the highest statistically significant mean phosphorus weight %, whereas control had the lowest statistically significant mean phosphorus weight % among the groups at different root levels. furthermore, no statistically significant difference was found between the middle and apical root levels; both had the highest statistically significant mean phosphorus weight % than coronal root level. Besides, the results showed that there was a statistically significant mean Ca:P ratio difference found between canal medicaments at different root levels. The control group had the highest statistically significant mean Ca:P ratio, whereas the Propolis group had the lowest statistically significant mean Ca:P ratio among the groups at different root levels. Also, the coronal root level had the highest statistically significant mean Ca:P ratio among middle and apical root levels. Finally, there was no statistically significant correlation between Ca, P weight %, Ca:P ratio and percentage decrease in microhardness.Item Restricted The impact of Korean drama on the Egyptian youth lifestyle : A comparative study between television and online drama viewers .(2022) Anwar, Israa Gamal Farouk,; Supervisor : Hebatalla Bahjat El-Semary, Hanan Kamal Kilani.This research explores the impact that Korean drama has on Egyptian youth lifestyle in terms of three main aspects: opinion, activities, and interests through a comparative study between the television and the Internet viewers. The study analyses secondary data related to the Korean wave as a whole and its impact on youth. The theoretical framework is based on the Acculturation Theory to study the axes that impact Egyptian youth who are exposed to Korean culture through Korean drama. The methodology includes both a qualitative technique (content analysis of Korean drama), and a quantitative one (survey of 401 respondents). The results indicate that the activities aspect of the Egyptian youth lifestyle is the most impacted one, and that such impact is higher on the online viewers compared to the television viewers. The research caters for the ninth goal of the 17 sustainable development goals which is the industry innovation and infrastructure, encouraging industry professionals to adopt innovative ideas for television drama, and to examine the impact of different cultures on the Egyptian youth lifestyle.Item Restricted Effect of Er: Cr: YSGG laser on the remineralizing potentialof self-Assembly peptides in incipient carious lesions : (In vitro study).(2022) Abdelhamid, Aghareed Alaa El-Din El-Sayed,; Supervisor : Adel Ezzat Khairy, Dina Wafik Elkassas.The purpose of this in-vitro study was to compare the remineralizing capacity of self-assembling peptide applied after enamel surface pre-treatment with Er:Cr:YSGG laser, versus the use of laser and self-assembling peptide on their own for the treatment of incipient enamel carious lesion. A total of 32 enamel specimens from human molars were collected and decoronated 2mm below the CEJ. Crowns were embedded in self-cure acrylic resin mold facing upwards. Teeth surfaces were scaled and polished flat to facilitate the micro-hardness test. A 4*4 mm window of exposed enamel was prepared, and the rest was covered with acid-resistant nail varnish. White spot lesions were artificially induced on all enamel samples via immersing the samples individually in a demineralizing solution for 4 days that was daily renewed. After white lesion formation, all samples were rinsed under running water. Enamel samples were then divided into 4 main groups according to the remineralizing regimen; Group I (Artificial saliva) as negative control, Group II (Self-assembly peptide Curodont Repair), Group III (Er:Cr:YSGG laser: pulse duration of 60 microseconds, average power 4W energy, 60% water 40% air, repetition 50 Hz, energy density 15.9 J/cm2, tip in non-contact mode at a distance of 2 mm) and Group IV (Er:Cr:YSGG laser + Self-assembly peptide Curodont Repair) All enamel samples were pH cycled for 14 days, 2 hours in demineralizing solution and 22 hours in remineralizing solution and fresh solution were applied after 4 days. Surface microhardness test was carried out using Vickers testing machine with a 100 g load indenter held for 15 seconds; at baseline, after demineralization and after treatment with pH cycling. Three indentations were made for each reading and their average was taken to represent the specimen’s hardness value. The final results of the study showed that all three treatment modalities promoted remineralization of the demineralized enamel surface lesion. Similar outcomes for groups II and III were obtained, while group IV showed the highest statistical significance.Item Restricted Drama Institution(2022) Hussein, Roqaya Sayed.Item Restricted The role of media content in changing nutrition habits in Egypt : A comparative study between television programs and Instagram blogs.(2022) Ghoneam, Nehal Waleed Sobhy,; Supervisor : Hebatalla Bahjat El-Semary, Hanan Kamal Kilani.Traditional media has been for many years influencing its audience, changing their habits and introducing them to new trends in health and nutrition. Similarly, with the emergence of social media platforms, especially blogs on Instagram, they created a new way of communicating and influencing their followers. Therefore, this paper is important as it aims to explore the role of each; a nutrition television program versus a healthy Instagram food blog and the main reasons for audience seeking each. This area of investigation is essential as it falls under the third goal of the seventeen sustainable development goals set by the United Nations, which is maintaining health and well-being. The study applies the uses and gratifications theory to understand more the reasons behind each media consumer seeking a specific medium to gratify a particular need. To know whether health and nutrition television programs or healthy Instagram food blogs help Egyptians acquire healthier nutrition habits. The results showed a significant correlation between Egyptians being exposed to both health and nutrition television programs and healthy Instagram food blogs to seek information and recipes to gratify their needs to acquire healthier nutrition habits. However, most healthy food blog users are females between 16 and 26 years old. A deeper investigation in this area is recommended, to know why females are interested in males and which type of content is appealing and of interest to them.Item Restricted Public attitudes towards COVID-19 communication messages : A comparative study between traditional and new media messages of the Egyptian Ministry of Health.(2022) El-Zayady, Salma Amr Abdel Rahman,; Supervisor : Heba Shaheen, Nagwa Mohamed El-Gazzar.The emerging pandemic requires proper communication plan with the various public to educate them about the health dangers that they face and how to take the necessary precautions. The research analyzes the messages shared by the Egyptian ministry of health over the traditional and new media, measure understanding of and attitudes towards those messages, and explore the message content and format that the Egyptian public prefer and search for during pandemics. The study conducted qualitative and quantitative techniques. The extended parallel process Model is used to identify how the public perceives media messages during risk and crisis, as well as measuring attitudes towards the messages. Results found that during the first 111 days of the pandemic, the ministry of health had issued 497 posts over the official Facebook Page, 447 posts over the official Instagram account and 104 videos over the official YouTube channel. The main aim of most posts is spreading awareness of the virus and presenting directions to deal with the virus. The primary source of information that the various publics rely on is social media. Videos and infographics are the most preferred forms of messages that the publics follow. The awareness messages in the form of advices are the most shared types of messages. The Facebook platform is proven to be the highest platform the Egyptian publics rely on for health awareness information and the most used by the Egyptian ministry of health. The majority have positive attitude toward radio announcements, public service announcements that were aired on television, posters shared in schools, mosques and public transportations shared by the ministry of health clarifying the preventative methods. Television programs were the most preferred traditional medium during the pandemic, followed by the flyers and poster, radio, and newspapers consecutively. The sample has positive attitude towards messages shared over the official social media pages of the Egyptian ministry of health including the infographics highlighting the protective actions and the educational videos shared by the ministry of health over Facebook and YouTube to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and families.Item Restricted The influence of indirect marketing activities of social media influencers and brand placement in series and movies on consumer's purchase intentions : A comparative study between traditional and new media.(2022) Mostafa, Mai Ali Abdel-Azim,; Supervisor : Hanan Gunied, Nagwa El-Gazzar.The purpose of this research is to study the influence of indirect marketing activities on the purchasing intentions of consumers. Indirect marketing activities place products and brands in traditional media such as series and movies and use social media influencers to promote brands in form of videos that suggest using the brand. The results of this study proved that product placement in traditional media “drama whether series or movies” is being noticed by the viewers and affects the viewers’ intention to buy. Also, social media influencers affect the purchasing intentions of the followers especially in the food industry. Furthermore, marketers find that product placement is a very important tool of advertisement and having social media influencers promoting for their products and brands are very beneficial. It has been noticed that males also get affected by the product placement in traditional media and the social media influencers as the females do. Most of the males and females who are viewers of traditional media and follow influencers are of age group 25-35 years old. This study uses the Hierarchy of Effects Model. The model consists of three main stages which are cognitive (Think), affective (Feel), and conative (Do). Both qualitative and quantitative techniques are used to measure the variables of the study. This topic falls under SDG number 12 about the Responsible consumption and production; ensuring that people have relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and ensuing sustainable consumption and production patterns, this is elaborated when people are influenced by the traditional media and the social media influencers.Item Restricted Semsemeya Folklore Museum(2024) Hany, Andrew.Item Restricted Film Specialized Museum(2024) Khaled, Renad.Item Restricted Open City Museum: Al Ismailia City.
