This research is an attempt to analyze compound adjectives according to the theory of Conceptual Blending, as well as to find out how meaning is formed from compound adjectives. The theory of Conceptual Blending is considered one of the most important theories in cognitive linguistics, and it investigates how meaning is formed. In it, four spaces are shared to form the new meaning. These four spaces are combined from two spaces from the input and a general space with a mixed space. The research was conducted according to the concept mixing model of (Gilles Fauconier and Mark Turner). The research hypotheses consist of: Does the Conceptual Blending theory analyze complex characteristics? Is it possible to benefit from it to find out the meaning of these compound adjectives? The results of the research show that it is possible to analyze compound adjectives according to the theory of Conceptual Blending, as well as to show their meanings, in addition to the percentage of compound adjectives that are composed of a sensory concept and an abstract concept, which is 62%, and the compound adjectives that are composed of two sensory concepts is 6%, and the percentage of adjectives that are composed of two abstract concepts is 6%. About 32%. The research was divided into two categories. The first categories talks about cognitive linguistics and the fields of cognitive linguistics. Cognitive linguistics theories in particular talk about the theory of Conceptual Blending.

Thermal Comfort Assessment Modeling of Buildings in Erbil Using Two Indices: (PMV and UTCI)

2024-02-20T14:00:35+00:00

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) defines comfort as the state of satisfaction with the surrounding thermal environment. Thermal comfort outdoors follows two models: the steady-state model, influenced by the local urban climate, and the adaptive model, based on human adaptation to climatic conditions. To analyze thermal comfort in Erbil, field measurements were conducted on selected buildings representing the BSh climate based on the Köppen classification. Data collection covered ten locations, measuring temperature (average, maximum, and minimum), relative humidity, and wind speed outside buildings, while inside, temperature and relative humidity were recorded. Using BTMETER devices, observations were conducted in winter (January 4–10, 2023) and summer (July 4–10, 2023) at 6:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Buildings were selected based on geographical orientation and architectural diversity. Thermal comfort was simulated using PMV and UTCI indicators in Rhino/Grasshopper software. Results indicated seasonal variations in thermal comfort. The PMV index showed warm conditions in summer and slightly cool conditions in winter, while the UTCI index suggested strong heat stress in summer and mild cold stress in winter. These findings highlight the impact of urban climate on thermal comfort, emphasizing the importance of considering climatic factors in building design.

The city is the source of human needs, and humans regulate land use patterns within the city. Residential consumption is also the highest in all cities in developed and developing countries. This reflects the fact that the city is increasing as a result of rapid population growth, causing increased demand for more land, which of course leads to the emergence of urban expansion and land use change. The aim of this study is to determine the level of land use change in Banaslawa city.

Cultural Development and the Question of Responsibility

2024-02-25T09:49:08+00:00

The following lines attempt to establish themselves on a question that is epistemological and related also to the historical development of a society. It is often said that the Kurdish society in South Kurdistan has not seen much cultural development since the uprising. If we answer affirmatively this hypothesis, we must immediately ask ourselves where this underdevelopment comes from. What is the reason? Could the unfavorable political situation, especially the role of political officials, be the cause of this problem? Alternatively, it can be said too that it is mostly the insufficiency of cultural agencies or the lack of cultural activities that have created this situation. In this study, we avoid this attitude and try to show that both political and cultural institutions share the development of a knowledge that we consider to be the major cause of cultural underdevelopment in South Kurdistan. The nature of the development of discourse has historically played a significant role in what we call “the discourse of extinction and the discourse of survival”. Based on a combined method of historical development and applied epistemology, this effort first goes through the definition of culture. Then, by analyzing this discourse, a genealogy of the concept of “whatever is Kurdish is good” will be established.

Social-Psychological Consequences of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

2024-02-24T19:33:55+00:00

The primary objectives of this study are to recognize and address the social and psychological repercussions of post-traumatic stress disorder in the family, as well as its causes and effects on other family members. In the same time provide family treatment and support for those who have post-traumatic stress disorder. For this purpose, a quality study was conducted, and the researchers interviewed a group of 16 people who were infected with post-traumatic stress disorder in Erbil, the participants were of both genders, but most of them were female, aged (6-48). To analyze the available data، this study relies on the MAXQDA program, which is software that is used to analyze qualitative data. As a result of this study, it was found that the lack of family support for the participants appears to be very strong. Also, the passage of the participants from a tragic event has had a significant impact on social and family relationships, due to psychological, social and physical changes, as well as the appearance of symptoms after unpleasant experiences. The majority of the participants experienced condemnation from family members who either thought they were the root of the problems or were unaware of the influence of the symptom of the disorder, which made family treatment and support less beneficial for the individuals receiving it. The lack of support of family members for the participants is related to poor social relations, which is due to avoiding the treatment faced by the family, even with the idea of suicide and sleep problems. In a lesser way, it has been shown that family support has a significant effect on reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder among participants.

Components and Principles of Curriculum Development

2024-03-15T21:34:56+00:00

Curricula refers to the set of information, facts, concepts, and ideas that students study for a specific purpose, or the collection of courses that schools offer to students so that they can eventually acquire specific characteristics. In the early twentieth century, new educational thinking emerged, leading to criticism of old views on studying materials and needs. These views neglected the desires, interests, needs, and attention of students, with critics arguing that the traditional educational curricula separated knowledge aspects and failed to achieve educational objectives. Consequently, opinions on the roles of schools, students, and teachers changed, giving rise to a new perspective. This perspective consider the structure of educational curricula as a set of skills acquired through learning activities. The definition of curriculum also changed, defined as all those experiences and skills that students gain under the guidance of teachers. This paper entitled " Components and Principles of Curriculum Development" aims to illustrate the components and principles that education professionals and leaders adopt to develop study curricula. To achieve its objectives, the study employed a descriptive analytical method to review subjects related to curriculum and principles of curriculum development. The paper came to the conclusion that learning objectives, content, activities and evaluations are the most important components of curricula. Additionally, it emphasized that developing a curriculum should be based on specific interests, supported by educational philosophy, and involve precise planning that considers psychological and sociological bases. The development should follow a complementary and inclusive direction, taking into account the highest interests of the sociaty.

Today, the Internet has become an integral aspect of young people's lives, often referred to as their lifestyles. Apart from entertainment, youth in the region utilize the Internet for various services. However, excessive Internet usage can lead to feelings of alienation, a concern commonly addressed by sociologists. Alienated individuals tend to become less productive members of society and may avoid social activities altogether. This study aims to assess the impact of the Internet on youth social alienation, particularly as young people in the Kurdistan Region dedicate a significant portion of their time to online activities. The study seeks to identify the variables contributing to youth social alienation and examine the relationship between Internet usage and this phenomenon. We aim to demonstrate the significant impact of the Internet on social alienation, examining this impact through the lens of gender. To achieve this objective, the researcher conducted a social survey among young individuals aged 17-30 in Erbil, representing diverse professions and educational backgrounds. This study concluded that the themes of social isolation, anomie, and goal orientation exhibit moderate strength in relation to social alienation. Therefore, it can be inferred that the Internet exerts an influence on the social alienation of young people in Erbil. Interestingly, the variables of years and hours of Internet use, as well as gender, did not display statistically significant differences.

koua university The Relationship Between the Sheikh Bizeni Tribe and the Residents of Koya City and its Surroundings (1900-1905)

2024-05-01T12:15:02+00:00

When governmental institutions in any region weaken and lose their influence and authority, other forces emerge in their place, leading to conflicts and disagreements among these emerging powers. Koya was one of the cities where Ottoman authority had significantly weakened by the early nineteenth century, leading to raids by surrounding tribes against its residents. This research focuses on the Sheikh Bizeni tribe, one of the most prominent. This study attempts to answer three research questions: What were the causes of confrontations between the Sheikh Bizeni tribe and the residents of Koya? What role did Ottoman state institutions play in this conflict? How much damage did these raids inflict on the local population? We attempt to address all these questions by presenting official Ottoman state documents and contemporary sources of the events, along with analysis of the information. As indicated above, we aim to shed light on a historical event that significantly impacted various aspects of the city's development. Furthermore, the existence of such a conflict during that period reveals the weakness of Ottoman authorities, who often could not easily resolve these issues and had to resort to other forces to confront this antagonism. After looking at the documents, as academic researchers we tried to give readers an unbiased account of this event, focusing on the part that Hama Agha Ghafuri played along with the people who lived in the city in response to the Sheikh Bizeni tribe's conflict and hostility toward Koya city.

Humans are conscious beings constantly trying to raise deep philosophical questions to discover and reveal the truth, events, and phenomena around them. After searching and investigating this subject, we have discovered that these kinds of profound questions exist in the novel (The Last Night of Jesus' Descent), and several such questions are raised. In this research, we aim to identify the level of questions. For this purpose, we have relied on the method (descriptive-analytical) and divided the research into two parts. The first part presents a theoretical framework for the concepts, terms of questions, knowledge, and the relationship between them. The second part analyzes the texts and discusses the level and scope of the questions.

ڕەگەزەکانی دراما لە کۆمەڵە شیعری (ئۆپەریت و پیەس لە یەك پەردەی كورتا) ی گۆراندا

2024-07-05T15:50:00+00:00

Dramatic poetry encompasses all the poetic arts, genres, and elements, presents a dramatic text in a poetic form to readers and viewers, and strives to enhance society and increase individual awareness. This genre focuses on presenting society through tragedy and comedy. This study employs the analytical-practical criticism method to showcase Goran's skillful and experienced use of various genres in his poetry. By using the genre of drama, Goran has been able to introduce another form of poetry into Kurdish literature, known as dramatic poetry. Goran adeptly employs various genres to showcase his poetic texts, particularly in his collection of poems, "Operetta and Piece in a Short Screen," in which he tailors the type of drama genre to suit the subject and context. In other words, whenever he needed any of the drama genres, he made them the main subject in order to serve his poetic message and purposes. The gender of the poet's personality, in particular, has the ability to align the names of the characters with their roles, thoughts, and behaviors, which in turn mirror Kurdish society. Like the genre of the poet's personality, he has paid attention to other genres such as place, dialogue, conflict, and time, each of which he has used in different ways.

Obstacles To the Application and Measurement of Accounting for Social Responsibility in Economic Units

2024-04-29T20:48:44+00:00

This research aims to study the impact of accounting measurement obstacles related to social responsibility in institutions, which represents an important stage in the development of modern accounting. This stage emerged as a result of the increase in the size of economic units and the diversity of their decisions, which highlighted the importance of this accounting field. The increasing financial, economic and social impacts have motivated institutions to pay attention to the conceptual framework of accounting, but this framework is still insufficient. It does not provide specific answers to many accounting issues, such as how to measure social costs and benefits in an accurate way that reflects the true impact of institutions on society and the environment. The importance of social responsibility lies in providing the necessary information to improve and measure the quality of services provided. The term "social and environmental responsibility" can be used to describe the obligations imposed on companies to achieve goals that benefit society and contribute to enhancing environmental sustainability. The research was carried out by distributing a questionnaire to a sample that included a group of accountants working in government departments in Koya District. Fifty questionnaires were distributed, and all of them were retrieved, of which 47 were valid for statistical analysis using SPSS. The results showed a close relationship between social responsibility accounting and the challenges associated with its measurement. The research concluded with several recommendations, including the need to increase interest in social responsibility accounting and intensify efforts to spread awareness among institutions and individuals about the importance of this field in improving economic, social and environmental decisions.
