Glass Ceiling and its effffect on Women Performance at Work A fifield research on women in political parties in Sulaimani
Authors: Abas Qader Zhiya
Published: August 2022

Glass wall is one of the gender exclusions that face women at work, this emerged with the beginning of the industrial revolution and the mass wave of women going out of their houses to work market, the activities and getting involved in fields and areas that were seized by men for a long time. This research is an endeavour to answer the question of: does glass wall exist? If so what makes it be? How does glass wall affects the women performance at work? The aim of this research is to address the affect on women by glass wall at work, for this matter the researcher has taken 16 5 samples from the research society, which is a total of the girls and women working in the Kurdish political parties in Sulaymani city, the samples are taken randomly in order to implement the field procedures. After processing the sampling form, the research reached at these conclusions: most of the samples’ age group was (50-41 ), they are married and hold Bachelor’s degree, most of the samples stress that most of their roles have become a glass wall in front of them that hinders them to reach their goals and reach the peak of the pyramid of their occupations, regarding the aftereffect of the glass wall on the performance of women at work and reaching a political high position. Regarding the mechanism of women facing these hidden and made up barriers which is called glass wall most of the samples stress that the political parties must work to eradicate sexual harassment which is prevailing in the political parties and deeply disturbed women, this has pushed away women from political work. One of the most important suggestions is that women and girls must be encouraged to get involved more in the political arena via participating them in the awareness courses regarding political parties, even raising awareness of families regarding women roles in political work, so they won’t be obstacles in front of them.

Authors: Hamasdiq Marf Nzar , Najmadin Noori Nyaz
Published: August 2022

This study aims to evaluate monetary policy with measuring its effects on the economic growth in during (2004-2020). To achieve this goal, the study relies on the descriptive and analytical approach using time series data, and by applying the (ARDL) method, and it has reached several conclusions. The most important one is that there is a positive relationship between the money supply (M2) and economic growth. Also, there is a positive but weak relationship between the interest rate and economic growth, while a negative impact through the interest rate on the growth have been found. The study sheds light on the concerns about the instability of the monetary system as a result of fluctuations in oil revenues and the value of the US dollar. Accordingly, it is necessary to enhance the credibility of the Central Bank and conduct the integration and alignment of monetary policy with other economic k to avoid complete dependence on oil ذ policies such as fiscal policy, trade policy and others, and wor revenues.
What can Kurdish art tell us about Anfal?
Authors: Samad Ahmed Nabaz
Published: August 2022

The essential aim of genocide is to exterminate and completely destroy a certain group so that no one tells the story of their death and destruction in order to completely erase their names and memory from the ground. But one of the most important aspects of remembering and keeping the victims alive is to tell their stories through art. If in other times, art creates beauty and gives us pleasure, what role and efficiency does it have in the dark times, homelessness, war and genocide? What can art do when the horror of war and genocide comes to speak? What can Kurdish art tell us about Anfal? Has Kurdish art been able to create a national memory for Anfal? The aim of this research is to show the role of art in the dark times of war and genocide and the role of Kurdish art in telling the memory of Anfal. In this paper, I argue that on the one hand, art can awaken forgotten memories and create a collective memory. Because in the dark times, art can archive, document and record atrocities. It also would reveal and criticize the truth of the dark times. As a result, art can take responsibility, but without giving up its own artistic features. On the other hand, Kurdish artists commemorate the victims of Anfal through their artworks, tell their stories, document their lives, resumption their experiences, and paint their endless journeys with color and drawing. They tell the memory and experience of their own people and the memory of the Anfal survivors in order to bring about a collective memory from a personal memory. This paper is divided into two parts: First, the relationship between genocide, art and memory. Second, Anfal in Kurdish art. It applies the Critical Analysis method to assess the relationship between genocide, art, memory and Anfal in Kurdish art.

A systematic literature review of the effects of molecular hydrogen during exercise
Authors: Sundararajan Priya
Published: August 2022

In the last decade, use of molecular hydrogen, through hydrogen-rich water (HRW), has become commonplace in the sports industry with anecdotal claims of improving athletic performance and endurance. Publications, clinical trials, and case studies have begun to emerge with the growing interest to clinically-validate the claims of improved performance and recovery in the athletic population. The objective of the current article is to review the recent literature to understand the effects of molecular hydrogen, through ingestion of hydrogen-rich water on muscles, joints, and athletic performance during the peri-exercise period. The following literature review documents the relevant effects identified within the included studies. A review of the studies published in the last ten years (2012-2022) pertaining to hydrogen-rich water (HRW) was performed. Using the PubMed search engine, the terms “hydrogen water” and “athlete” were searched. Quantitative data points pertaining to cardiorespiratory variables, blood markers, subject reported outcome measures, and athletic performance were identified from the included studies. Based on the aforementioned search criteria, one hundred and one articles were identified. Among these, fourteen studies pertained to the effects of molecular hydrogen during exercise. Of these studies, eleven studies reported the clinical findings associated with oral ingestion of liquid HRW and three studies identified observations pertaining to other hydrogen-rich applications in transdermal and tablet forms. The recent literature suggests that HRW may provide anti-inflammatory benefits as a neutralizing agent without evidence of side effects during high-intensity exercise in trained athletes. Consequently, when used during the peri-exercise period, HRW may be associated with anti-fatigue effects and improved athletic performance. The identified evidence supporting the use of HRW during the peri-exercise period is limited, and its extrapolation should be performed with caution. Despite the lack of significant high-quality evidence available in the recent literature, molecular hydrogen, through ingestion of HRW, has been adopted in the sports industry for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-fatigue properties identified in trained athletes, and it is used anecdotally to impact athletic performance without significant observed risk of side effects.
A literature review of the use of phenol for nail matrix ablation on pregnant and breastfeeding patients: implications for safe use
Authors: Reilly Ian N. , Ousey Jeremy , Blandford Toby
Published: August 2022

Background Nail surgery using phenol to chemically ablate the nail matrix is a technique that has been performed for many years.  The phenolic technique of nail surgery has been refined and established as a safe and effective procedure.  Although it is used in small quantities podiatrically, phenol is readily absorbed through multiple routes such as ingestion, dermal absorption, and inhalation - the latter two being the most likely in podiatric practice.  However, given its pervasiveness as a caustic agent in nail surgery, there is a paradoxically small narrative on the safety aspects of phenol's use in pregnant and breastfeeding patients.  This paper reviews the available literature to provide a narrative response to this concern.
Method A literature search to identify research evidence from electronic databases and reference lists was performed.  Evidence was also sought using Google Scholar free text keywords.  A narrative review of the literature was then performed, with agreement from all authors.
Discussion Although patient safety concerns have been raised for the clinical use of a range of phenols, humans are environmentally exposed to such compounds in food, cosmetics, plastics, and resins.  For the general population, cigarette smoke and smoked food products are the most common sources of phenol exposure.  The data on phenol exposure during nail surgery and potential health consequences to the foetus are discussed.
Conclusion Following calculations for the potential absorption of phenol via an EZ swab, the authors suggest that the purported risks associated with the podiatric use of phenol are overly cautious given that there is no clear association between occupational exposure to phenol and adverse pregnancy outcomes.  Although phenols are ubiquitous in the environment, these exposures have previously not been compared to those of phenol matricectomy.  Future research in this area would be highly beneficial, for example, the urinalysis of phenol before and after nail surgery in non-pregnant females.

Published: August 2022

The methodological workshop IN OTHER WORDS. Coming to grips with critical, creative, inter-/cross-cultural dialogue across space and time. A methodological workshop to explore the role of keywords in (re)producing or problematizing Otherness was scheduled on June 15th and organized in four parts/hours - two hours of theoretical background, one hour of actual work in groups on the different keywords, and one hour of feedback. Based on our collective and ongoing work on the online dictionary In Other Words, our Workshop addressed these questions referring to the three paradoxes illustrated in the Call to demonstrate how a critical, creative and collective approach can challenge redundant monologues, enhance the plurality and diversity of perspectives, and promote inclusion - rather than reproducing exclusion - by offering alternatives to manipulative rhetoric and discriminating language against individuals and groups. Our Workshop invited participants to explore methodologically how dialogue-shared experiences of inter-/cross-linguistic and inter-/cross-cultural practices can develop across time and space by adopting a multilingual perspective and a multi-level dialogue among researchers, practitioners, activists, educators, and artists.

Authors: Сотирова Мая
Published: August 2022

Abstract: Career guidance is part of the activities in the school education system in Bulgaria to provide general support for students’ personal development. Career guidance programs include activities with students from I to XII grade as preparation for transition to higher education or for participation in the labor market. An important task of career guidance is counselling of students who are at risk of dropping out of school, as well as the reintegration of those who have dropped out of school and the development of skills in social inclusion and mobility. The fact that premature dropout from the educational system has its ethno-cultural specifics determines the need for special attention to the peculiarities of career guidance in a multicultural school environment. The article focuses on multicultural career guidance in the field of vocational education and training. The parameters of intercultural competence in the preparation of career guidance specialists for the school education system and in the preparation of mentors in a dual education system are outlined. Keywords: career guidance, counseling, multicultural environment, intercultural competence.

Pedagogical Dimensions of Intercultural Communicative Competence in a Practical Context
Authors: Чавдарова-Костова Сийка
Published: August 2022

Abstract: The development of intercultural competence as a personal quality presupposes the inclusion of the communicative component in its various dimensions. This integration naturally finds expression in the term intercultural communicative competence, which has gained considerable popularity over the last two decades. Mastering a language, incl. as a foreign, should focus not only on its linguistic aspects, but also on the dimensions of culture through which the language manifests itself, reflected on the personal identity of its speakers in its quality as mother language. This should be presented in one form or another in textbooks for learning a language, especially a foreign one, insofar as the acquired information creates the preconditions for a better understanding of the culture expressed through it and more successful communication with its speakers. It is also extremely important to achieve a pragmatic orientation of the learning content, which can further motivate the acquisition of the "other" language in the context of the need for efficiency in everyday relationships. Keywords: intercultural communicative competence, pedagogical, practical dimensions.
Kungliga Akademien i Åbo och den ortografiska standardiseringen ‒ var Åbo kulturellt isolerat?
Authors: Stendahl Anders
Published: August 2022

In this article, I discuss the development of a standardized Swedish orthography in the Royal Academy of Turku (Swedish: Åbo). The Academy was located in the main city of the eastern part of Sweden, i.e. in Turku in Finland, before it was moved to Helsinki in 1828 during the Russian era. The Swedish orthography was standardized in the 18th century, with the final codification in 1801, and Stockholm acted as the center of the process. The focus of this study is the relation between the orthographic development at the Royal Academy of Turku and the orthographic development in Swedish in general, as this relation is seen as an indicator of the density of the contacts between the intellectual elites in Stockholm and Turku. The perspective of this article forms a contribution to the debates concerning the period in which the Finland-Swedish linguistic features emerged, as their existence has previously been explained by researchers such as Nordenstreng (1902) with reference to Finland being a culturally isolated area during the Swedish era. The material consists of excerpts of 500 words from 44 dissertations, promotional poems and religious texts printed by the university printing house from 1723 to 1828. From these texts, 22 orthographic variables that cover all major orthographic processes during the period are analyzed. The main results are that the texts from the 19th century are written with the standardized orthography of its day, and that the standardization process during the 18th century followed the same pattern in Turku as in Swedish in general. This indicates that the contacts between the intellectual elites in Stockholm and Turku were close in the 18th and early 19th century. However, it does not rule out the possibility that local Finland-Swedish linguistic features emerged at the same time.

Published: August 2022

In 21st-century learning, students must have access to communication, collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving, dan creativity, and innovation, including elementary students. Tynker is a platform for learning programming for kids that teaches them game design, web design, animation, and robotics. The study aimed to develop English teaching material based on the Tynker program to improve the vocabularies of fourth-grade elementary students. The subject of the study was 20 students in fourth grade in Zia Salsabila Private School. The researchers used Research and Development design in this study. The techniques of collecting data were observation, interview, and questionnaire. Furthermore, the researchers analyzed the data using descriptive qualitative and quantitative analysis. The result of the study showed that English teaching material based on the Tynker program improved students' motivation for vocabulary learning. Tynker-based teaching resources can be an alternate learning tool for fourth-grade elementary school pupils, particularly for developing vocabulary. The Tynker Program can help as a tool for learning English, but the researchers recommend using it with the proper learning resources. The teacher can download the Tynker program and develop their lesson plans using some of Tynker's topics. The teacher can use Tynker to give students resources for learning English and assist them in subjects where they feel learning English is difficult or dull.
International Students’ Perception of A Post-92 University Registration Process
Authors: Timiyo A. J.
Published: August 2022

This study analyses variances among four demographic characteristics – age, gender, continent, and program of study on international students’ perception of a Post-1992 UK university’s registration process. Analysis was done with respect to six structured survey questions (dependent variables), which serve as dimensions for measuring students’ perception. Theoretical assumptions were equally drawn from total quality management and lean synchronization as suggested improvement techniques for achieving quality service objectives of higher education institutions. Primary data was randomly collected through a well-structured questionnaire, after authenticating its validity. The data was obtained from one hundred and nine international students, while a two-way factor analysis of variance was used in testing six main hypotheses formulated with respect to the students’ age, gender, continent, and program of study. Results show that no variances exist among students’ perception of the registration process with respect to their age, gender, and program of study. However, their perception varies with respect to their continents. Implication of the study to higher education management were also discussed. Even though the sample is not representative of the entire international students’ population of study, the study reveals aspects of universities’ service operations that requires on-going improvement.

Authors: Malek Nerisha Sarah Nur , Yusof Halimah Mohd
Published: August 2022

Similar to other countries, Malaysia is also affected by the social and economic process of urbanization leading to various concerns, particularly among the urban poor. This conceptual literature review draws on the theoretical framework of absolute poverty, relative poverty, and causal attributions in defining and explaining poverty in urban areas. Psychological and social well-being are known as significant aspects of an individual’s life. Studies conducted internationally and locally have indicated that several factors of psychological well-being such as mental health, financial constraints, and housing vulnerability, contributes to poor psychological well-being of the urban poor. Additionally, previous research has highlighted that the social well-being of urbanites is impacted due to factors such as social exclusion and lack of social support. However, further studies in Malaysia are needed to emphasize different dimensions of individual psychological and social well-being, such as personal growth, autonomy, social contribution, and social coherence.
