CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT: ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN POPULATION, HOUSEHOLD AND SIMILAR WASTE AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN ALGERIA (2010-2023)
Authors: Ferkoul Farida , Djeddi Sarah
Published: October 2024

Objective: The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationships between total population (POP), household and similar waste (DMA), and greenhouse gas emissions (GES) in Algeria from 2010 to 2023. The study explores trends in these variables and employs the Granger causality test to assess causal relationships between population growth, waste production, and emissions. Findings provide insights into the interdependencies among these factors. Recommendations for improving waste management through circular economy practices are also discussed.
 
Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is based on the interrelationship between population growth, waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions. It posits that as population increases, household waste generation rises, which subsequently contributes to GHG emissions. This framework underpins the use of the Granger causality test to explore causal links among these variables in Algeria.
 
Method: The study employs a descriptive analysis of the variables—total population, household waste (DMA), and greenhouse gas emissions (GES)—over the period 2010-2023. The Granger causality test is applied to examine causal relationships between total population and DMA, and between DMA and GES emissions. Data is analyzed to identify unidirectional causal links at a 5% significance level.
 
Results and Discussion: Population growth directly impacts household waste (DMA) and greenhouse gas emissions (GES). Waste management is crucial for controlling emissions. Algeria needs to implement circular economy practices like recycling and waste sorting to mitigate environmental impact.
 
Research Implications: Population growth in Algeria leads to increased waste production and emissions, necessitating improved waste management strategies and adoption of circular economy practices for sustainable development.
 
Originality/Value: The study explores the link between population growth, household waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions in Algeria, offering insights for policymakers and sustainable waste management strategies.

Authors: Ali Pirot Barzan , Ahmad Abdulghafur Hazhar
Published: October 2024

One of Lucien Goldmann's inventions is the problematic character who disagrees with the globalized and capitalist world, seeks high values, and strives to achieve them, but is lost or murdered. In this investigation, entitled “The problematic character in Bakhtiar Ali's novel Ewaray Parwana”, we want to present the reflection of such a character in “Ewaray Parwana” and open another entryway to the relationship between literature and society based on Goldmann’s problematic character. For this, we have first presented the issue of the relationship between literature and society, and then explained the principle of “problematic character” in the view of Goldmann and thus organizing the theoretical outline of our research. Later, an attempt has been made to identify the details of the character's appearance in the novel.
Our research hypothesis is that the problematic character very clearly exists in “Ewaray Parwana”, which reflects the new situation in Kurdish society. To reach the truth of this hypothesis, we have tried to apply the principle of the problematic character to the novel with an analytical descriptive method. In the last part, we have reached some conclusions; can be pointed out that there is a problematic character in the novel and the reason for this is the strangeness and discomfort of the characters with the complexities of life and common social relationships.

Authors: Ismael Ibrahim Hamd Dlko , Mustafa Ibrahim Badrkhan
Published: October 2024

The goal of this study was to find out how the mutual teaching method affected the reading skills of fifth graders in Erbil Governorate. The experimental method used in the study was to look at how the independent variable affected the dependent variable by gathering data and using the right statistics analysis to get the results. The study population was all fifth-graders in Erbil Governorate who were learning reading in Arabic during the 2022–2023 school year. To make sure the study tool was valid and reliable statistically, an exploratory sample of 35 female students was chosen. The study sample was split into two groups: an experimental group with 33 students studying Arabic reading using the reciprocal teaching strategy and a control group with 33 students studying Arabic reading using traditional teaching methods. The study found that students in the experimental group got better at reading Arabic after receiving and giving lessons back and forth. This is a statistically significant result, which means that the students in the experimental group did better. As they used strategies that helped them understand what they were reading and became more aware of it, like the question the student asks, his explanations of words and structures they didn't understand, his guesses about what might happen in the text, his reading of the picture that went with the text, and his summary of the text he asked about and his predictions about what would happen in it. All of this makes him more aware of the texts.

Published: October 2024

Test is regarded as a tool to measure the outcome of teaching and learning processes.  There are other tools, but tests are still used to a great extent. The objective of the current study is to assess university final examination questions written in English, and College of Education-Shaqlawa has been selected as a sample.  The test papers have been received from the Examination Committee of the college. Tests have several properties, but only three properties, namely accuracy, objectivity and scorability, have been chosen to be the criteria of the research. This is because the selected characteristics are general, while the left ones are specific to particular subjects.  The procedure of the study is descriptive and analysis. The test papers have been analysed twice for reliability. The researchers have benefited from other researchers’ criteria. It has been detected that the test papers are objective to great extent. This is due to the test techniques that are used by the instructors. Unfortunately, some test papers have been found to be inaccurate.  Inaccuracy has resulted from many areas such as grammatical mistakes and punctuation marks. Little attention has been given to the field of punctuation marks. Furthermore, some test papers have been detected to seem strange in terms of scorability. To clarify it, the mark distribution and the total mark of some test papers are not in agreement with the requirements. Finally, the conclusions, suggestions and references have been shown.

Authors: Nasraldin M.Amin Hero , Mahmud Nasir Salam , Nasraldin M. Amin Hemin
Published: October 2024

Urban land cover characteristics often lead to variations in surface temperature. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are valuable tools for obtaining detailed information about surface indices. This study evaluates the temporal variation of Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Khanaqen city, located in South eastern Iraqi Kurdistan and Eastern Iraq. The research investigates the relationship between LST and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the coolest and hottest month of 2023 using Landsat images from the USGS Earth Explorer. The objective is to explore how green spaces influence LST during the cool, humid winter and hot, dry summer. Two satellite images from Landsat 9 were used to retrieve LST and NDVI for the study periods. The results indicate that green spaces significantly reduce LST in July, so that the result of the correlation analysis of variables, significant inverse correlation between LST and NDVI (R = -0.53, R2 = 0.28 and P value = 0.00) highlights the effect of vegetation cooling. Conversely, January shows a modest correlation (R = -0.01, R2 = 0.00, and P value = 0.90), indicating a minimal effect of vegetation cover on LST.
The Plight of the Elderly in Yeats’ Poetry
Authors: Muhammad Hamad Ameen Ziyad
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the plight of the elderly in W.B. Yeats’ poetry. Through a close reading of five poems "Three Old Hermits," "When You Are Old," "The Old Men Admiring Themselves in the Water," "Sailing to Byzantium," and "The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner". This study explores how Yeats portrays aging and its effects on individuals and society. In these poems, Yeats presents a range of perspectives on aging: from the longing for an idealized past to a resigned acceptance of mortality; from a desire for spiritual transcendence to a sense of being trapped in physical decline; from admiration for those who have lived long lives to pity for those who have been forgotten by society. By examining these themes in detail, this paper reveals how Yeats captures both the beauty and tragedy of growing old. Ultimately, this study shows that Yeats’ poetry offers an insightful exploration into the complexities of aging and its impact on the lives of the elderly.

Geomorphological Changes of the Terrestrial Features of the Euphrates River between the Cities of Al-Kifl and Al-Mishkhab Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Authors: Al-assadi Kamil Hamza Fleifel , A. Al Kaabi Aqeel
Published: October 2024

The study area occupies part of the southwestern part of the sedimentary plain from the city of Al-Kifl and Najaf to the city of Al-Mashkhab, which is predominantly characterized by extraversion, which made the study area a low topographical variation. However, this variation contributed significantly to determining the geomorphological forms of the Euphrates River course as well as the direction of the course, which was consistent with the direction of the surface slope from the northwest towards the southeast. Thus, the natural characteristics of the study area vary from geological structure, surface, climate, soil and natural vegetation. When taking into account the true longitudinal extension of the Euphrates River course of (59) km, we find that these characteristics have a prominent impact in causing geomorphological changes in the study area.

Published: October 2024

Environmental Pollution (EP) is an escalating worldwide issue affecting the entire planet. Environmental consciousness plays a crucial role in addressing EP's problems. Environmental Education (EE) is one of the methods used to instill these ideals in individuals. EE is a critical determinant of enhancing the condition of the ecosystem, and it is imperative to get instruction from a young age. Instructors influence children's interests, mindsets, and beliefs on environmental issues and their associated difficulties in Peru. The significance of EE is exceedingly elevated. This significantly impacts the nation's Economic Development (ED) and Public Health (PH). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a comprehensive plan for achieving a more prosperous and environmentally responsible future for everyone. The establishment of SDGs aims to eliminate poverty, protect against natural calamities, and provide universal prosperity and security. This study investigates educators' potential, perspectives, and opinions in instructing the subject of EP and PH. The research documents the correlation between EE and EP in Peru. The primary objective was to engage with instructors and ascertain their capacity to educate students about EP. The requisite information was acquired by a survey (240 participants) distributed to all pertinent elementary and secondary schools. The mean yearly number of classes taught is just 2.62, although the preferred number of lessons, as indicated by the instructors, is considerably more. Instructors find water and air contamination particularly intriguing among the various forms of pollution. When instructors mediate the curriculum, they prioritize respecting both living and inanimate nature, focusing on living nature for 19% of their efforts. Several instructors continue to depend on inadequate technological advancement, which is restricted by nature protection (2%). According to instructors, the conversation technique (34%) is a frequently used approach to engage students in learning about the issue of contamination. Studies have indicated that instructors believe that to address the concerns adequately, the number of classes devoted to this topic should be increased threefold. The collected results validate educators' endeavors in addressing environmental contamination, which is a positive trajectory.

Published: October 2024

Nowadays, scientists around the world are paying more attention to renewable hydrogen fuels. There is a growing need for precious metal catalysts to calculate the cost of obtaining renewable energy, an efficient method of producing H2 by electrolysis of water, as well as to facilitate the decomposition of water into its elemental parts. Today, due to the increase in the problem of the shortage of energy resources and the growing of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, attention is being paid to hydrogen energy. However, the production of H2 requires low-cost, efficient catalysts that facilitate hydrogen/oxygen separation reactions in the water splitting. For this purpose, intermediate metal phosphides (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, W) were used as effective electrocatalysts for water decomposition. The catalytic activity of intermediate metal phosphides to form hydrogen is largely dependent on the phosphorus content, but the P atoms play an important role in increasing efficiency. The production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water on the basis of bifunctional catalysts has good prospects for use in the energy industry. In the article, the one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and physico-chemical (electronic structure and conductivity, structure morphology) of double metal phosphide with NixCuyPz composition were studied.

Published: October 2024

Microplastics, defined as plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, pose a significant environmental threat and have been detected across various terrestrial and marine ecosystems. This study explores the abundance, types, and potential impact of microplastics in corals from the coastal waters of Kuantan, Malaysia. Using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, three coral species – Acropora, Montipora, and Porites – were collected from two locations, Pulau Ular and Cherok Paloh, to identify and quantify the microplastics contamination. A total of nine samples underwent a digestion process to isolate and analyze microplastics from both external and internal structures. The results revealed that Acropora species exhibited the highest microplastics abundance, while Montipora and Porites showed similar but comparatively lower contamination levels. The identified polymers included polyacrylamide, polyvinyl, polyethylene, polyamide, styrene, polypropylene, methyl vinyl ether, and polystyrene, with polyacrylamide being the most prevalent, constituting 33.33% of the total microplastics detected. These findings align with previous studies and underscore the potential adverse effects on coral feeding mechanisms, energy intake, and overall health. This study highlights the significance of ongoing research to refine microplastic identification methods and to develop targeted strategies to mitigate their impact on marine ecosystems.
