This study explores the morphological structures of plurals of fewness and abundance in the depiction of the scenes of the Day of Judgment in the Holy Qur’an through a morphological–semantic approach. It examines how plural patterns contribute to meaning construction and rhetorical imagery, arguing that the Qur’anic selection of plural forms is guided not only by morphological rules but also by contextual and stylistic considerations. The research outlines the traditional Arabic grammatical understanding of pluralization, fewness, and abundance, and clarifies the relationship between morphological structure and contextual meaning. The applied analysis focuses on selected Qur’anic examples in which plurals of fewness are employed to portray limited or individualized scenes, such as human weakness, fear, and vulnerability. The study shows that these forms may extend beyond their quantitative sense to convey rhetorical emphasis or relative multiplicity depending on context. It also examines plurals of abundance and their role in depicting comprehensive and universal scenes, including the gathering of creation, the spreading of records, and cosmic transformation. These forms evoke expansiveness and magnitude, reinforcing the intensity of eschatological imagery. The findings indicate that Qur’anic context can expand or restrict the semantic range of plural forms, transforming morphological structures into effective rhetorical devices that enhance semantic depth and textual impact. The study concludes that plural patterns play a significant role in shaping the linguistic and rhetorical representation of the Day of Judgment.

The research aimed to identify the level of awareness of educational innovations in the field of teaching science among student teachers at the Faculty of Education, Sana'a University. The researchers adopted the descriptive survey approach, and a knowledge test was prepared in light of educational innovations. The research was applied to a sample of (92) student teachers specialized in (chemistry, physics, biology).
The results of the research showed that the level of awareness of student teachers in educational innovations in the field of teaching science in general is very weak, and there are statistically significant differences between the average scores of males (30.04) and the average scores of females (36.24) in the degree of their awareness of educational innovations in the field of teaching sciences is in favor of females with the highest arithmetic mean. The results also showed that there are no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of student teachers in the degree of their awareness of educational innovations in the field of teaching science according to the specialization variable (chemistry, biology, physics).

The industrial presence, especially in residential areas, has many negative and positive effects at the same time. As for the negative impact, it lies in environmental pollution therefore this study indicates the importance of industrial planning to achieve a balance between the requirements of industrial production and maintaining environmental balance, especially in residential areas. the most important theories dealing with the issue of the overlap of industrial activity with residential areas are mentioned such as the linear city theory and the modern satellite city theory. As for the positive aspect of the industrial presence especially after the use of technology which contributed to achieving part of the environmental balance. Baghdad Governorate was chosen as a study model due to its population density and industrial activity. Baghdads population is constantly increasing, resulting in the need for many products. Which consequently leads to the divesing of industries. and the increase of job opportunities, this study with the types of industries its number and the nember of workers and their wages in Baghdad Governorate. it is clear that the number of industries is constantly increasing in the governorate due to the increasing population it is also noted that there are many residential areas that are referred to as industrial due to the dense spread of industries in them, such as the Al-Waziriyah, Awerij, Al-Kamaliyah, Bob Al-sham and Jamila Industrial areas.

The role of mixed land use has become widely prominent and prevalent in urban proposals as a strategy aimed at adding value to the area to distinguish it from areas with separate uses by combining compatible and diverse activities at different levels to create
A vibrant environment that meets the needs of the community to enhance the integration and vitality of the place, increase interaction between members of the local community, and encourage daily activities, most importantly walking in public spaces.
The appropriate layout of their homes makes the different uses compatible with each other and creates an organized and healthy arrangement to achieve the basic objectives of the planning process (compatibility between mixed land uses). It is necessary to emphasize the achievement of luxury and the provision of basic services.
and create a healthy and vibrant community characterized by effectiveness among its members within the city. The city is composed of a complex resulting from the intertwining of functions, multiple uses, and needs according to political, administrative, economic, and social choices, which in turn calls for the practice of

The distribution of the population according to civil or marital status affects and is affected by many other demographic characteristics. It is well known that the civil status of the population is not fixed and is constantly changing in terms of size and spatial variation depending on the economic and social conditions of society. The research aims to analyze the elements of the marital structure of the population of Basra City through a geographical and demographic analysis, in terms of spatial distribution and variation, and to identify interconnected and influential relationships. The field study concluded that 73.4% of the population studied were never married, while the remaining percentage was distributed among the remaining segments of the population: married, widowed, and divorced, at a rate of 13.2%. and 4.8% and 8.6%, respectively.

The study of medieval cities—regardless of their geographical location or civilizational context—has never been a simple or straightforward undertaking in historical research. A city represents a complex entity that embodies within its physical and symbolic structures the features of civilization and culture, patterns of daily life, and the social and economic relationships that shaped its community across successive periods. It is not merely a geographical space, but a living historical organism reflecting shifts in political authority, demographic transformations, intellectual and religious influences, as well as systems of production and urban development. Therefore, approaching the history of any medieval city requires a multidimensional perspective capable of capturing its political, social, and cultural contexts.
The city of Carmona offers a representative example of such historical interaction. Throughout its successive eras, it experienced continuous political transformations due to the alternation of ruling powers, leaving a clear imprint on its urban features and social and cultural structures. The city underwent significant changes in administrative and defensive systems, while its geographical location contributed to shaping its strategic and economic role. This cumulative civilizational layering generated notable cultural, intellectual, and social diversity, manifested in patterns of daily life, scholarly and religious activity, and the interaction of its inhabitants with the wider regional environment. Accordingly, the study of Carmona provides valuable insight into the broader transformations that characterized medieval cities and illustrates the extent to which they were shaped by major political and civilizational developments within the Andalusian sphere.

Since 1988, Roald Dahl's Matilda has garnered praise and criticism. This descriptive and analytical study addresses Matilda's moral dilemma with her parents and the authoritarian school headmistress. The paper examines whether the novel promotes moral empowerment through teaching or moral transgression by legitimizing a child's punishment of an adult authority figure. Child ethics, authority, and education's function in moral development inform the study's moral and educational criticism framework. The article examines Matilda's situation as a brilliant youngster living in a difficult family and subjected to school mistreatment through close textual analysis. The ethical ramifications of her acts against power-hungry adults are highlighted. Critical responses to the novel fell into two factions, according to the study. Matilda supporters see education, reading, and intellectual progress as self- defense and moral agency. The story encourages parents and educators to transform the family and school as social institutions. The tale may encourage disobedience, dishonesty, and indirect aggression by depicting adult authority as wrong and deserving of punishment, according to opponents. The study indicates that Matilda exposes the moral repercussions of ignored responsibility and oppressive authority, not just disobedience against family and school. The narrative portrays education as moral empowerment rather than corruption. Dahl highlights the power disparity between children and adults, inviting readers to reconsider parents' and educators' moral responsibility while framing Matilda's actions as a response to injustice rather than a rejection of moral order.

Most of the pupils depend in their learning on memorization, repetition and modeling, they do not try to think out of the box. Greater significance has been given to improving pupils’ thinking skills because of all the rapid changes in the world. The objective of the current study is to examine how executive attention technique affects the ideational behavior of EFL preparatory school pupils for the 2024–2025 academic year. For this objective, the following hypothesis was formulated: “There is a significant impact of executive attention strategy on EFL preparatory school pupils’ ideational behavior”. To achieve this objective, Runco Ideational Behavior Scale is used. This scale is a five-point Likert scale questionnaire with 23 items based on Runco et al. (2001), ranging from 1(never) to 5 (always). The population in this research is all fourth preparatory in Al-Nahda Secondary School for Girls, where the total number is 250. The sample consisted of (74) pupils who were randomly chosen. The results showed that pupils' ideational behavior conduct post-test total score differed statistically significantly between the two research groups, favoring the experimental group that received instruction by using the executive attention strategy.

This paper attempts to explore the importance of intercultural interaction as a language-learning tool among students who are majoring in English as a Foreign Language through various methodologies. The study compares the effect of exposure to target culture on linguistic competence, pragmatic awareness and affective aspects of language acquisition based on the theory of intercultural communicative competence and sociocultural learning. The quantitative data were gathered with the help of a Cultural Interaction and Language Learning Questionnaire, which was given to 80 students, and semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with a subsample of 20 students. The findings reveal that there is a strong agreement regarding the cognitive and motivational advantages of genuine cultural interest e.g., enhanced language fluency, listening comprehensiveness and acquisition of slang. Nevertheless, the statistics also point to major emotional issues, such as anxiety and low self-esteem in real-life interactions, which implicates a gap between the theoretical support and the real-life reality. Communicative resilience, identity reframing and the reframing of intercultural dissonance were also found to be processes in the thematic analysis as developmental opportunities. It is concluded that intercultural integration is a two-sided and yet a transformative factor in language learning which demands pedagogical methods that promote its cognitive and emotional requirements. The paper explains the inferences of this in the context of developing intercultural competence and significant language use in the context of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL)

Gender studies is a huge field that is so rich with studies concerning both genders. That study focuses on socio- cultural structure of the roles of males and females, which accordingly affects the political and economic condition of both sexes. Fertility as part of gender studies is a complex and deeply personal issue that has been a recurring theme in literature throughout history. It encompasses the ability to conceive and bear children, and the experiences of those who struggle with infertility or reproductive challenges. This theme has been explored in various literary works, shedding light on fertility's emotional, social, and cultural dimensions. Fertility is depicted in literary works such as The Handmaid's Tale (1985) by Canadian author Margaret Atwood and Red Clocks (2018) by Leni Zumas, these two novels really illustrated the impact of restricted reproductive laws and how they affect women's lives, identities, and autonomy which are explored by both authors using dystopian settings. Fertility is the major issue that these novels examine and how society views and is affected by contraception, burdening women’s life in the process. Such a topic is imperative to create a kind of awareness to reach a kind of equality between men and women as part of human rights, which leads afterwards to a developed society.

Critical and text linguistics play a key role in analyzing the speaker's intended meaning. Pragmatics examines communicative action and its appropriateness within context, while Critical Discourse Analysis identifies and investigates social injustice in language. Commissive and directive speech acts have been the focus of much investigation in political discourse; however, previous studies have not dealt with situational and background context from CDA perspectives. This study employs a combined qualitative and quantitative methodological approach, utilizing an eclectic model consisting of Searle's directive and commissive speech acts, Fairclough's sociocultural model, and Van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach. The data is empirical, consisting of eight selected political speeches from the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News in September 2024, with four texts analyzed for each speaker. The study investigates how both politicians view themselves from a pragma-critical perspective, how Searle's approach reflects conflict pragmatically, the most occurring elements in Van Dijk's model, and how Fairclough's approach constructs discourse. Findings reveal that Trump utilizes more commissive speech acts (100%) than Harris (75%), employing ordering, threatening, and vowing as powerful linguistic tools. Trump utilizes the 'society' element more frequently (75%), demonstrating dominance and power interactions, while both speakers employ Fairclough's discursive and social practices equally. These two models can address concerns about language use by powerful elites against helpless people during interaction, contributing to understanding how directives and commissives negotiate power and construct political legitimacy in high-stakes disputes.

This study examines transcultural concepts in Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's novel, "Heat and Dust." Drawing upon the novel's rich narrative tapestry, which unfolds across dual timelines set in the 1920s and 1970s, this research seeks to unravel the intricate dynamics of transculturalism as a central thematic element. The study aims to concentrate on the social sides of Heat and Dust. The transcultural concepts are considered a significant theme that projects the image of India, its traditions, and modernity after independence through Jhabvala's novel Heat and Dust. The analysis examines how characters navigate the complex interplay of diverse cultures and languages, and identities by employing theoretical frameworks from cultural studies, postcolonial theory, and transcultural studies. In conclusion, the influence of English culture on Indian society has been significant and multifaceted, primarily due to the historical context of British colonisation in India. The impact is evident in various aspects of Indian culture, including language, education, law, administration, and social customs.
