This research aims to analyze and explain the changes that occurred in the frequency and duration of residence of each air high (Siberian, European, subtropical, and subtropical), during three climate cycles extending between (1972-2020), the duration of each cycle being (17 years). The analysis was based on Weather maps on the website of the National Oceanic and Sea Administration (NOOA) have adopted the most frequent months of air highs, which extend between (October-May) for the pressure level. Through analysis of weather maps, (2630/day) were recorded repeatedly and (6763/day) Residence time for atmospheric highs at the 1000 millibars level for the observation (12:00 GMT). The values of the first cycle were (924/day) repetition and (2385/day) residence time, while the second cycle recorded (760/day) repetition and (1958/day) Duration of residence. As for the third cycle, it recorded (946/day) repetitions and (2420/day) duration of residence. The Siberian High formed the highest pressure system affecting the climate of Iraq among the atmospheric highs studied, as it recorded a duration of residence of (2742/day) with a percentage of ( 40.5%), followed by the European high with a duration of residence of (1844/day) and a rate of (27.3%), then comes third the subtropical high with a duration of residence of up to (1190/day) and a rate of (17.6%), and the least recorded occurrence of the merged high among The percentage of other atmospheric highlands reached (14.6%) with survival times of (987/day).

The study aims to determine the scope of mass wasting hazards in Erbil Governorate's mountainous territory, as well as the locations of urban centers in relation to these risk levels. The study assumes that significant areas of the study area are vulnerable to these hazards and that the majority, if not all, urban centers are located near such hazards. The study employed an inductive approach through the application of the scientific analysis method. It was separated into three sections: definition of the study area, methods and results and discussion. The study came to a number of results, the most important of which is that the study region is vulnerable to mass wasting hazards at various degrees, with areas in the extremely high category accounting for 15.9% of the study area. A total of 3.8 km2 within the urban centers of the

In the last Abbasid era, Baghdad witnessed great development in the scientific and cultural aspect. Those in charge of it began establishing many public and private libraries until their coffers became filled with thousands works from various sciences and knowledge in language, literature, medicine, philosophy, sciences, religious studies...etc.
Many schools, quarters, and corners were established and attached to bookcases for the purposes of teaching, writing, and copying. The matter was not limited to this, but it went beyond attaching mosques and mosques to such cupboards for the purposes of religious and scientific teaching, and it remained in that state until what historians called “the Dark Period” passed through Baghdad. Which began with the fall of the Abbasid Caliphate in the year 656 AH/1258 AD, and which ascribed its name to what Baghdad lost during the invasion operations, including documents, manuscripts, and original writings about that historical stage through burning, loss, and destruction, according to what some historians reported in their books, influenced by the killing, looting, and sabotage caused by the Mongols. accompanied the invasions, So; Through these pages, we tried to find out what news was reported on the pages of the writings of their contemporaries and those who followed their time, and we followed it starting from the arrival of the Mongols to Baghdad to find out what happened to it when the city fell, and what happened to its fate based on the information contained in those sources

By employing theories, the fundamentalists were able to establish a method for understanding the text, so the context was considered a special tool for them in understanding the contents of the text, in light of their study of the evidence designated by the fundamentalists and others. They also believe that the word cannot be interpreted alone; Because the meaning can only be revealed through context, so they dealt with the meaning understood from the compositions, as their significance differs from one style to another according to the depth of the text in their definition of its purposes, and the context is what determines that, and since significance is the goal of the

Society is a group of phenomena from which it is formed. As a result of the influencing factors، such as cultural heritage، the intellectual and doctrinal factor، and the influence of time and place، society is formed. The phenomenon can be divided into two parts: a positive phenomenon، and a negative one، positivity is what is consistent with public taste and morals، and negativity is what differs from it and is incompatible، and it can be specified and determined while it is compatible or incompatible with typical behavior and the moral rules that the members of society are acquainted with، It is of the core interest of sociology. It has

This study is concerned with the relationship between phonology and pragmatics, throughout the interrogation in the Glorious Qur\'an, specifically rhetorical question. The phonological side of this study is based on the analysis of Roach’s patterns of intonation. Whereas the pragmatic side is based on Leech’s classification of speech acts. The data is chosen depending on the recitation of Surat Al-Baqara by Abdulbasit Abdulsamad who recited with Saba Maqam and Hussein Al Aryan who recited with Lami Maqam. The problem of the study is reflected by showing whether there are any variations in pitch between the two recitations and how they related to the intended meaning of the verse itself. Besides showing the interaction with pragmatic factors like speaker\'s intention, context, listener\'s interpretation, presupposition, etc. Therefore, the study aims at analyzing interrogative verses by two recitations (one is reciting in Sabaa and another is reciting in Lami) on the bases of two different levels, phonological and pragmatic levels. As well as identifying which one of these

This research delves into the examination of voice qualities among Iraqi Arabic speakers, encompassing both genders and age range from 20 to 45. The study employs a comprehensive auditory-perceptual analysis utilising the Vocal Profile Analysis (VPA) scheme developed by Laver, Wirz, Beck, and Hiller (1981), later refined by Beck (2018). Data collection involves two methods: narrative pictures and open-ended responses. The findings unveil shared characteristics among Iraqi Arabic speakers: pharyngeal constriction and pronounced high nasality, particularly noticeable in females; despite the consistent use of the advanced lingual tip/blade, the typically alveolar /l/ segment maintains a neutral position; the phonation voice is identified as a blend of whispery and creaky voices, with variations, including males displaying a higher prevalence of creaky voice quality and a lip-spreading feature; conversely, females tend to exhibit

The search for identity and social recognition is an urgent pursuit that pervades the African American literary scene. The main concern of the black writers is to portray a persona, who struggles to survive and succeed in a racially separated society. Amongst those writers is the prominent literary figure Ralph Waldo Ellison who utilizes art to embody the blacks' ever-evolving protest against sociopolitical restrictions and falsified ideologies.
Relying on the power of art to regain justice and social awareness, Ellison dismantles the dichotomy between art and protest. He seeks to create a character that undergoes an intricate interplay of human experiences until realizing intellectual enlightenment. This could be explored in Ellison's thought-provoking novel, Invisible Man (1952). A first-point narration, the novel portrays a young college-educated black man who starts his self-discovery trip as a determined and hopeful man and ends as a disillusioned rebel. This paper aspires to examine a crucial point in the journey of the nameless narrator when he joined the Brotherhood, a deceitful narrative of justice and equality, expecting that he finally finds an anchoring

This research investigates the occurrence of dialect levelling in the gelet-speaking area, focusing on a specific variable: the first vowel in the faʕʕa:l / faʕʕa:la pattern nominal forms. The primary objectives include examining the direction of levelling, exploring factors influencing or contributing to the process, identifying the gender associated with this phenomenon, and the age group where levelling is most prominent. Data collection involved interviews and a picture description task. The findings reveal that levelling is indeed happening within the gelet variety, targeting the urban variety. Additionally, mobility, marriage, and prestige emerge as key factors in influencing dialect levelling, with female speakers leading this process more than male speakers. Furthermore, the study indicates that younger individuals are more inclined towards levelling their speech compared to middle-aged and older individuals.

Throughout centuries, Prometheus has been regarded as an important mythological character in literature in general, and in Greek and English literature in specific. Oftentimes he is portrayed to be an advocate for the good, or perhaps a hero to humanity, who, according to the Ancient Greeks, was significant for the discovery of fire to mankind. Other times, however, he is referred to as a mighty god who used his power and intelligence to fool the gods surrounding him, and who eventually got punished for that. The ideas of justice, humanity, and freedom are central to the story. To understand what Prometheus stood for, and how he was portrayed by different authors in different periods, the poem "Prometheus" (1816) by George Gordon Byron will be compared with the modern novel Circe (2018) written by Madeline Miller. Although different forms of literature, both writers mentioned the same character from various perspectives which will

Beauty standards are often influenced by social values and cultural norms. What is considered to be beautiful has evolved over time and varies across cultures. These standards play a significant role in individuals' perceptions and behaviors about beauty. In addition, society places strong pressure on women to follow unrealistic beauty ideals. In today’s society, being slim is the ideal that women should follow. On the other hand, obese women are subjected to frequent judgments based on their weight and appearance. The constant exposure to social judgments and negative comments about their bodies can lead them to have body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and a feeling of inadequacy. Furthermore, these judgments and societal ideals can influence individuals' choices and decisions.
