Excavation at the site of Kharaib el-Desht on Failaka Island, Kuwait, began in 2013 and continued in 2015 and 2016. The second season focused on the northwestern part of the site, namely Areas 1 and 4. In the third season, work also encompassed the southeastern part of the site, Area 3, where the exploration of a stone structure was resumed. A fragment of a residential complex was also unearthed in this area. Test trenches, opened inside the stone structure and below the foundation level of the residential remains, confirmed the existence of an earlier phase, predating the Desht settlement.

In the first semester of 2019/2020, 40 female students enrolled in a Conversation Course were divided equally into control and experimental groups based on an oral presentation task (pre-test). Data was assessed through a speaking skill competency rubric (vocabulary, accuracy, fluency, and pronunciation). The post-test results indicated statistically significant differences between the means of the participants in favor of the experimental group. A pre-post experiment questionnaire was also administered to identify students’ attitudes towards the jigsaw technique. SPSS program was used for data analysis. The t-test results showed a positive attitude of the experimental group towards cooperative learning and the jigsaw technique. It isrecommended to use the jigsaw technique to improve students’ speaking skills.

This article attempts to answer the question of how much US politicians, in the wake of the Iraqi aggression on Kuwait, were aware of the upcoming events and whether they were able to influence Baghdad politics and create new peaceful solutions. The content of this article is also to convince that it is hard to blame the American ambassador April Glaspie that during a conversation with the Iraqi dictator on July 25 1990, she gave Saddam a ‘green light’ to attack his neighbor. Same position as her, presented a bit later in his letter to Saddam, US president George W. Bush or undersecretary J. Kelly — speaking in the US Congress. To sum up, this article wants to convince the reader that the United States did not have a thought-out, effective and forward-looking policy, not just for Iraq but for the whole Middle East, but seemed to wait for what the course of events would bring while being deeply involved in Europe, where the dismantling of the Soviet Bloc and reunification of Germany took place.

The sample of the study consisted of 60 male students, equally divided into two groups, experimental and control ones. The result of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control one in the post achievement level test scale in favor of the experimental group. The effect size of using mind maps was high. There were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental and control group scores in the post achievement test of the Arabic vocabulary learning in favor of the experimental group.

This article opens with some brief observations on the phenomenon of Arab blackface-that is, of Arab actors “blacking up” to impersonate black Arab or African characters-from classic cinematic portrayals of the warrior-poet Antara Ibn Shaddad to more recent deployments of blackface in the Arab entertainment industry. It then explores the complex nexus of race, gender, citizenship and social status in the Arabian Gulf as context for a critical reflection on the author’s experience of reading and discussing Othello with students at the American University of Kuwait-discussions which took place in the fall of 2019, in the midst of a wave of controversies sparked by instances of Arab blackface on television and in social media.

Cel artykułu stanowi przybliżenie koncepcji dyplomacji prewencyjnej Narodów Zjednoczonych, przedstawianie działań mających zapobiec agresji w 1990, a także przedstawienie wpływu konfl iktu na system sankcji Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych. Istotą artykułu jest zobrazowanie dyplomacji, jako potencjalnego mechanizmu umożlwiającego realizację zadań i celów ONZ. Odpowiednie wykorzystanie presji, nacisków i sankcji może wzmocnić mechanizm bezpieczeństwa zbiorowego. W przeciwieństwie do operacji wymuszania pokoju, koncepcja może pochłonąć znacznie mniejsze nakłady. Zwrócono uwagę nie tylko na niewystarczalność dotychczasowego systemu zapobiegania, w świetle konfliktu iracko-kuwejckiego, ale także w okresie poprzedzającym oraz pokonfliktowym. W ostatniej części pracy wyszczególniono implikacje niewłaściwego wykorzystania sankcji oraz przedstawiono sukcesora polityki zapobiegania stosowanej w latach dziewięćdziesiątych – koncepcję sankcji selektywnych.

The Purpose of this article is to present the concept of preventive diplomacy of the United Nations, measures to prevent aggression in 1990 and the presentation of the impact of conflict on the United Nations. The essence of this article is to present diplomacy as a mechanism to support the implementation of the purposes and principles of the United Nations. The use of pressures and sanctions will strengthen the collective security. In contrast to the operations of peace enforcement, preventive diplomacy absorbs less cost. Paying careful attention to the inadequacy of current prevention systems, especially in the light of the Iraq-Kuwait War as well as before and post-conflict period. The last part of this paper details implications of improper use of sanctions and presents the successor prevention policies applied in the nineties - the concept of selective sanctions.
