“…In the present study, the phytochemical analysis of P. oleracea indicated that it is rich in tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolic acids and saponins. These allelochemicals also were described in P. oleracea by Youssef and Mokhtar, El Gindy, Almashad et al and El-Desouky [47][48][49][50] .…”

The present study was conducted to determine the allelopathic effect of the aqueous extracts of Cynanchum acutum, Anagallis arvensis, Chenopodium murale, Malva parviflora, Sonchus oleraceus and Portulaca oleracea on the germination and growth of Bidens pilosa plant. Also, the presence of total phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and alkaloids, were screened in the studied plants. The results indicated that the aqueous extract of C. acutum, A. arvensis, C. murale, M. parviflora, S. oleraceus and P. oleracea showed a remarkable allelopathic effect on germination and growth of B. pilosa. The effectiveness of the extract was much higher on C. acutum, as it is the most effective in reducing the shoot and root growth of B. pilosa followed by S. oleraceus, M. parviflora, P. oleracea, C. murale and A. arvensis. The allelochemicals such as total phenols, flavonoids, saponins, tannins and alkaloids present in C. acutum, A. arvensis, C. murale, M. parviflora, S. oleraceus and P. oleracea. From the present study, it is concluded that the aqueous extract of the tested plants can be used as natural source in controlling B. pilosa.

The outbreak of the Egyptian revolution in 2011 gave a huge impetus to the study of popular culture. In particular, scholars working in such diverse fields as anthropology, media studies, film studies, comparative literature, and cultural studies have highlighted the flourishing of creativity and the role of popular culture in mobilizing and articulating popular resistance to authoritarianism and challenging state media narratives of events. 1 Not only artists but also ordinary people used music, poetry, graffiti, jokes, and citizen journalism to document events, tell their stories, and express their viewpoints. Comedy and in particular political satire were used to criticize and ridicule the authorities. Citizen journalism became prominent in correcting the omissions or distortions of state-owned media and creating a revolutionary narrative. The figure of the martyr of the revolution (that is, those individuals who died at the hands of the security forces in political protests) was ubiquitous in various forms of popular culture and served to create public sympathy not merely for those individuals but, more importantly, for the cause of the revolution. The state was not the only object of criticism. Popular culture also was used to raise awareness of sexual violence against women protesters, which was perpetrated not only by the police and military but also by unknown gangs of men. Moreover, popular culture was not only expressive of resistance to dominant power. It also was an arena for pro-regime voices, such as the TV presenter Tawfiq 'Ukasha, who used his show to whip up hostility to the revolution and support for the military. 2 Yet political scientists have largely ignored popular culture and its role in the 2010-2011 uprisings. This reflects a general lack of attention to nonconventional forms of political agency alongside a narrow definition of what constitutes "the political" within the field of political science. Rather, in the wake of the Arab uprisings, political scientists have focused primarily on comparing structural or institutional factors or social movement dynamics to explain the outcomes of the 2011 uprisings across different countries. 3 As Jillian Schwedler argues, such approaches have obscured important micro-level as well as transnational processes. 4 In particular, these approaches are ill suited to capturing the shifting subjectivities and identities and contested meanings of the revolution that underpinned post-2011 political dynamics. I argue that to capture these important dynamics it is necessary to study the processes of meaning-making
