Shaima Shaaban Madallah, Abdul Jawad Othman (Author)
March 2024 ,Pages 1.0-21.0

Abstract:           All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the most noble of all creation and messengers, our master Muhammad, and upon His family and pure companions who dedicated themselves to defending the dignity of the religion until Allah raised their status, elevated their words, and made their religion and path straight.           The Quran is the clear book, the differentiator between guidance and misguidance, between right and wrong. Its wonders never cease, its verses never end, and its indications never contradict. It is the light for insight, the cure for hearts, and the life of souls. Its people are the people of Allah and His chosen ones, who have attained goodness in this world and the Hereafter. The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, testified to them by saying, "The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it."           One of the prominent figures in the service of the Quran and the Sunnah during the era of the early successors (Tabi'un) was Abu Majlaz Lahiq ibn Hameed. He studied under the senior companions and taught many scholars. He played a prominent role in spreading knowledge, which became a source of learning for scholars and students of knowledge. He had a distinguished position among his peers in his era, and his statements in the interpretation of the Quran are considered important. This is supported by the scholars' interest in transmitting his statements in their books. Research Plan: First Topic: The statements of Abu Majlaz in Surahs At-Tawbah and Yunus, collected and studied, divided into two parts: - The first part: The statements of Abu Majlaz in Surah At-Tawbah, collected and studied. - The second part: The statements of Abu Majlaz in Surah Yunus, collected and studied.

Cutting / montage in Mahmoud Jindari's short stories
Salem Al-Hiyali, Rasha Al-Dabbagh (Author)
March 2024 ,Pages 48.0-64.0

Abstract: create the required effects in synthesising scenes and linking parts. The montage connects descriptive shots that are independent in meaning and are neutral in content, as this interaction gives an opportunity or a broader scope for the idea or topic within the film system since it is a semantic deduction that contributes to reaching new visions in a manner consistent with the general feature of the artwork. Montage is mainly related to how to move the camera and how to choose an angle to link one shot to another as a group of successive events works in the narrative text to form many images interspersed with repeated cutting that works to make an integrated event, and the group of these events creates a scene or many scenes, and the reader must seek continuity in time and place. Narrative works are hardly devoid of this mixed type, which combines the end of a previous chapter and links it to the beginning of a later chapter. The mixing is usually based on the main axes within the story, which are subject to titles, chapters, and subjects. The nature of the narration may call for deletion or montage to move from one place to another, to produce movement, to push the pace of time forward, or to skip visual elements and partial events that are not considered useful and effective in the course of the text. The montage intendedly uses the trimming method between the beginnings and the endings of the shots to create an intellectual and thematic coherence within the narrative structure.

Marwa Altaee (Author)
March 2024 ,Pages 216.0-237.0

Abstract:           The current research aims to: 1. Identify the level of psychological stress among high-achieving students.  2. Determine the level of mental alertness among high-achieving students. 3. Investigate the relationship between the variables of psychological stress and mental alertness. 4. Identify the significance of differences in the level of psychological stress based on gender (males/females). 5. Identify the significance of differences in the level of mental alertness based on gender (males/females). The final sample for the study consisted of 200 male and female students selected randomly from high-achieving schools in Mosul for the academic year 2022-2023. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher developed a scale for psychological stress consisting of 38 items with response alternatives (applies greatly, applies moderately, does not apply). Additionally, a ready-made scale for mental alertness developed by Yassin (2022) was used, consisting of 40 items with response alternatives (applies very much, applies greatly, applies moderately, applies slightly, applies very little). The researcher verified the validity and reliability of the research tools and then statistically analyzed the research results. The research results indicated a relatively low level of psychological stress and a high level of mental alertness among high-achieving students. Furthermore, the results showed a statistically significant negative correlation at a significance level of (0.05) between psychological stress and mental alertness, indicating that as the level of mental alertness increases, the level of psychological stress decreases. This suggests that mental alertness enhances adaptive responses to cope with psychological stress, increases the ability to resist it, and reduces its effects. The results also revealed statistically significant differences in the degree of psychological stress based on gender, favoring females, as well as statistically significant differences in the level of mental alertness based on gender, favoring males.  In light of the results, the researcher recommends focusing on and providing necessary care for high-achieving students to optimize their potential and capabilities, as they represent the national wealth in every society and will have a significant impact on the progress and prosperity of nations. Additionally, the researcher suggests conducting studies based on training programs for students to understand the impact of mental alertness on increasing their motivation for achievement, as well as conducting a study on the relationship between psychological stress and personality traits.

Jews of Yugoslavia: Social Reality and Political Activity (1918 – 1939)
Abed Al-memary (Author)
March 2024 ,Pages 509.0-531.0

Abstract:           This research focuses on the social reality of the Jews of Yugoslavia, who are divided into Sephardic and Ashkenazi. They migrated to the Yugoslav territories from different regions and at different times. Their population at the establishment of the Yugoslav state in 1918 was approximately 64,746, which accounted for 0.5% of the total population of Yugoslavia, estimated at around 12 million according to the 1921 census. The majority of the Sephardic Jews were from Andalusia (Spain) and immigrated to Yugoslavia in the 16th century due to the persecution they faced. On the other hand, the Ashkenazi Jews, mostly from Eastern Europe, migrated to Yugoslavia in the 19th century due to mistreatment. Their different historical and cultural experiences resulted in distinctions between the two communities in terms of language, religious practices, and culture. The Yugoslav state recognized them as a religious minority rather than a national one, and the Yugoslav Jews established an official religious institution representing all their sects to the state (the Union of Jewish Religious Communities). They also founded numerous humanitarian, cultural, scientific, and sports associations and had several newspapers. The majority of Yugoslav Jews lived in cities and excelled in professions such as banking, commerce, and industry. Politically, most Yugoslav Jews adhered to the Zionist movement, despite the emergence of opposing movements such as the Integrationist Jews and the Sephardic movement. Yugoslav Jews supported the idea of Jewish nationalism, but not in Palestine, as envisioned by the Zionist movement. The research is divided into an introduction and two sections, with the first section addressing the social reality of Yugoslav Jews, both Sephardic and Ashkenazi, and the second section tracing the political activity of Yugoslav Jews. The research relied on various foreign sources, including English, Serbian, and Croatian documents, as well as several Arabic sources.

March 2024 ,Pages 598.0-622.0

Abstract: Kickboxing is the art of self-defense using the hands and feet in accordance with recognized international principles and rules. It is one of the movement activities characterized by a rapid change in offensive, defensive and counter-attack skills. In which play continues until the last second from the beginning of the playing time until the end of the three rounds. This requires the player to have an advanced level of kickboxing fitness. Both Ali Fahmi Al-Beik and Imad Al-Din Abbas (2003 AD) state that the athlete cannot optimally perform the basic motor skills of the activity he is practicing unless he has the necessary physical capabilities required to execute the skill, and that using exercises that are similar in their motor structure to the movements performed during competition is considered a preparation. Direct to the player and one of the means of developing the player’s training condition is that repeatedly performing the skill in situations similar to match situations plays a major role in developing the physical capabilities of these skills.   Lance & Buttsm & Michelsm (2006) believe that tactical preparation is the compound in which all types of preparation are mixed to achieve the goal of training. It is the result of developing the individual’s physical and skill condition and applying them in interconnectedness and integration. Jamal Muhammad Alaa Al-Din, Nahid Anwar Al-Sabbagh (2007) indicate that analysis is considered the logical means by which the phenomenon under investigation is dealt with as if it were divided into parts or basic elements. To give a quantitative estimate of competitive activity, it becomes necessary to conduct an objective recording of the events and facts of this match.   Ahmed Mahmoud Ibrahim (2002) states that the process of training in different tactical situations greatly helps the player acquire many temporal neural connections and helps in repeating tactical behavior in similar situations. The player comprehends a large number of previously trained tactical sentences that are not repeated in all their details within a period of time. Competition, but in a close or similar way, which requires quick thinking and action in light of previous acquired experiences. Also, good preparation of skills and good tactical thinking does not benefit from it to a great extent unless the player has a great degree of general and specific physical abilities. The more those abilities improve for the player, the more he will continue to execute. The tactical technique required until the end of the match without stress

Abstract: The aim of the study is to investigate the significance of statistical differences in a number of physical variables and performance in a 5000-meter run among participants between the pre-test and post-test for the group using the percentage ratios (90% aerobic training and 10% anaerobic training). Additionally, the study seeks to identify the significance of statistical differences in a number of physical variables and performance in a 5000-meter run among participants between the pre-test and post-test for the group using the percentage ratios (70% aerobic training and 30% anaerobic training). Furthermore, the research aims to recognize the significance of statistical differences in a number of physical variables and performance in a 5000-meter run among the two experimental research groups using different energy production systems in the post-test. The researcher utilized an experimental approach suitable for the nature of the research. The research experiment was conducted on a purposive sample of long-distance runners, specifically 10 participants, in Nineveh province for the sports season of 2022. This sample was divided into two experimental groups using the matched pairs method based on performance in the 5000-meter run, with 5 participants in each group. The homogeneity of the research sample was tested in terms of chronological age, training age, height, and mass. Equivalence between the two research groups was also tested in the physical variables addressed in the research, in addition to the performance in the 5000-meter run. The experimental design used was the randomized equivalent groups with pre-test and post-test. The following statistical methods were employed: mean, standard deviation, t-test for related samples, t-test for independent samples, percentage, effect size, Cohen's d, eta squared, and the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) for data processing. The researcher concluded that the two training programs implemented by the first and second experimental groups resulted in significant progress in all physical variables (general endurance, speed endurance, maximum transitional speed, and power endurance) and a significant improvement in the performance in the 5000-meter run. The effect size was large for all variables except for power endurance, for which the effect size was moderate. Despite the significant progress in both groups in general endurance and maximum transitional speed, the results showed no significant superiority of one group over the other in these two variables.

March 2024 ,Pages 702.0-710.0

Abstract: The study focused on anthropometric measurements and their relationship with the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK) and its role in the incidence of gallstones for both sexes, where 97 samples were collected from patients with gallstones and 83 samples as a control group. The results showed that the decrease in the hormone level compared to an increase in glucose, uric acid, bilirubin, creatinine, urea, and body mass index (BMI) for a group of people with gallstones compared with the control group, and that the infection rate in women is higher than in males, and age is a major factor that affects hormone levels and reduces activity cholecystokinin hormone. Women of fertile age are usually more susceptible to gallstones due to increased obesity around the abdominal area and pregnancy. The incidence rate is almost equal with advancing age after the age of fifty due to menopause in women.Finally, this study discovered a relationship between a decrease in the cholecystokinin hormone and an increase the risk factor of formation of gallstones, which have a strong role, especially in people who are obese with age.

Abstract: In this work, the impact of "Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Plasma jet" (5.47 watt) on germination and activation of Squash seeds (Cucurbita pepo L.) was studied at different times. The seeds were divided into (soaked seeds and dry seeds). After the process of exposing the seeds, measurements have been taken for three characteristics of germination (root length, shoot length, number of leaves). The results show that exposing the plasma jet on the seeds soaked with water is better than dry seeds. The results of exposure to the seeds are shown at the length of viability at the exposure time of (5 min), outperforming the control by 15.80 % while there was no effect at (0.5 min), as it turned out that there is a during various exposure periods (0.5, 1, 3, 5 min) along the shoot and the number of leaves compared to the control. This confirms that the discharge of the plasma dielectric barrier contributes to stimulating the seeds and increasing their germination rate.

Abstract: Background Due to the effect of herbicide on the soil, which changes the natural fluorescence, which prevents the growth of bacteria that fix nitrogen and an imbalance, occurs between the organisms that live in the soil. Harmful organisms present in the soil increase until they become a pest. This study came. Methodology Studying the effects of glyphosate on nitrogen-fixing bacteria like Azospirillum normally includes a combination of laboratory and field trials. An overarching framework for conducting such studies is outlined below. Results The average number of Azospirillum cells at each concentration and in the control group shown by the mean values. There were more total counts of Azospirillum in the control group, suggesting a higher mean (8200.00) without glyphosate. There appears to be a dose-dependent effect of glyphosate on Azospirillum count, with the mean values decreasing as the concentration of glyphosate rises from 5% to 20%. The p-values give us an idea of how significant the results are. A p-value of 0.00001 for the 5% concentration level implies an extremely low likelihood of achieving the observed results if there were no meaningful effect.

Hadi Muhammad, Zakaria El-Gammal (Author)
March 2024 ,Pages 806.0-817.0

Abstract: The topic of regression analysis is receiving increasing and clear attention in most studies, especially economic and medical ones. The nonparametric regression model in general and the multiple nonparametric regression model in particular is one of the most important and prominent regression models used in recent years, which have witnessed great expansion, especially in the economic and environmental aspects. The Multivariate Nadaraya-Watson estimator is one of the most important estimators used in the multiple nonparametric regression model. In estimating the multiple nonparametric regression model, this estimator, in turn, relies on a matrix of parameters called smoothing parameters, the estimation of which is of great importance in achieving good fit of the estimated curve in the multiple nonparametric regression model. In this research, it was proposed to employ an algorithm inspired by nature, represented by the Fireflies algorithm, in the process of estimating the smoothing parameter matrix (Bandwidth matrix) in the Ndaria-Watson multiple estimator. The Monte Carlo simulation method was also used to generate data following a number of multiple nonparametric regression models. The simulation results showed the superiority of the proposed method compared to other estimation methods, using the mean square error as a standard for comparison.

Biased Estimators in Zero-Inflated Poisson Regression Model in the Presence of Multicollinearity: Subject Review
Nadwa Rashad, Nawal Hammoud (Author)
March 2024 ,Pages 819.0-842.0

Abstract:           The problem of multicollinearity, which occurs as a result of high correlation and linear dependence between two or more explanatory variables in a model, is one of the most important issues in model building, negatively affecting the parameter estimation process of the regression model. This study aims to review the shrinkage estimators used to address the problem of multicollinearity that appears in the zero-inflated Poisson regression model. This model is one of the most commonly used models when the response variable data have countable values and are not normally distributed. Through Monte Carlo simulation experiments, it was found that the shrinkage estimator with two parameters is the best proposed estimator due to its reduction of the model's mean square error.

Abstract: Many people worldwide, use more than one language in their daily speech whether, intentionally or unintentionally. In Sociolinguistics, this phenomenon is called codeswitching. People who use this linguistic practice are called bilinguals or multilingual. This study aims to identify and analysis the various types of codeswitching employed by YouTube’s influencers in their channels, as well as the factors that affects its usages. To achieve the aims the study hypothesizes that intra-sentential codeswitching is the most frequently used type by YouTube’s influencers. Females use codeswitching more than males. It is found that intra-sentential codeswitching is the most commonly used among the other types. Codeswitching can occur at any syntactic level. Females YouTube’s influencers use codeswitching more than males. It is concluded that the highest percentage of codeswitching used by YouTube’s influencers relies on their need to be trendy, habitual use, show off, attract attention, on the one hand, and for lexical needs on the other. such as mostly the absence of lexical equivalence.
