تهدف الدراسة الى  تحليل تأثير صدمات (توقفات) اسعار النفط على السياسة النقدية ومن ثم على اسعار اسهم قطاع المصارف في سوق العراق للأوراق المالية كذلك قياس وتحليل العلاقة بين المتغيرات النقدية واسعار الأسهم  من خلال توظيف اسلوب الانحدار المتعدد (التوقفات) خلال مدة الدراسة (2019-2005)، وتم التوصل الى اهم الاستنتاجات هي ان سعر السياسة يؤثر بشكل عكسي على ( قطاع المصارف) في سوق العراق للأوراق المالية وهذا يعني ان تأثير سعر السياسة على اسعار الاسهم يكون بطريقة غير مباشرة عبر القدرة الاستهلاكية للمواطنين والتي تتأثر بمعدلات الفائدة داخل الدولة، وتؤدي زيادة تكلفة اقتراض المصارف من البنك المركزي الى قيامها ايضاً بتمرير تلك الزيادة الى المجتمع من خلال رفع تكاليف القروض بأنواعها وهذا يؤدي الى خفض سيولة الافراد وبالتالي ينعكس على انخفاض الطلب على الاسهم مما يؤدي الى انخفاض اسعارها، اما اهم التوصيات التي اليها الدراسة هي الاهتمام بتنويع الهيكل الاقتصادي العراقي من اجل تجنب اثار الصدمات التي يمكن ان يتعرض لها الاقتصاد العراقي، نتيجة  اعتماده على النفط مصدر اساسي لتمويل الموازنة العامة للدولة، من خلال اقامة ركائز اقتصاد حقيقي مكوَن من قاعدة انتاجية ومالية وخدمية.
Phraseological units with the semantics of "human character" in Russian and Chinese
Authors: Wang Jing
Published: March 2024

The object of this research is the phraseological field with the semantics of "human character" as a fragment of the linguistic picture reflecting the peculiarities of perception of the world by native speakers of Russian and Chinese languages. The subject of the study is national peculiarities and common features of cultural components of the meaning of phraseological units about human character in the Russian and Chinese languages. In the first part of the article, the author gives a brief description of the theoretical understanding of phraseology as a phenomenon of Russian and Chinese linguistics, draws parallels between the concepts of phraseological unit and chengyu, comparing the key characteristics of the two terms and specifying the subject of research. Having defined the theoretical boundaries of the concept of phraseology, the author of the article systematizes the research material in accordance with the semantic features. The second part of the study is devoted to the comparative linguistic, cultural and semantic analysis of phraseological units expressing the "character of a person" in Russian and Chinese. Methods of classification, lexico-semantic analysis, linguistic and cultural analysis, comparison, generalization are used. The sample of the study includes 400 phraseological units about the character of a person (200 Russian and 200 Chinese), which were studied using quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The research contributes to the study of linguistic and cultural peculiarities of the perception of human character by representatives of Russian and Chinese cultures. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the application of comparative lexico-semantic and linguistic-cultural analysis to phraseological units with the meaning of "human character". Russian and Chinese studies of the quantitative correlation of phraseological and semantic groups in the phraseological field with the semantics of "human character" in Russian and Chinese, as well as the identification of cultural and historical features and patterns in the perception of human character traits in the Russian and Chinese language worldviews, revealed the presence of a universal and specific perception of human character. All this made it possible to establish a connection between different historical and social development, the influence of different religious and philosophical teachings in Russia and China, and the perception of human character reflected in the corresponding fragment of the phraseological field.
Ethos e persuasão
Authors: Miranda Fernandes da Silva Natália , Beividas Waldir
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo se propõe a identificar elementos da Retórica de Aristóteles no embate entre Édipo e Creonte, da tragédia Édipo Rei de Sófocles, destacando a maneira com que os personagens mobilizam competências retóricas, em especial o ethos, para conquistar a adesão do povo tebano aos seus respectivos pontos de vista. Demonstrar-se-á a associação entre o poder da palavra e a manutenção da justiça e da boa governança: diante das acusações de Édipo, que se vê desesperado em busca de uma resposta que explique os males que acometem a cidade, cabe a Creonte construir um discurso de defesa que convença o coro acerca de sua inocência. Para tanto, ele se autoapresenta como alguém equânime e prudente, virtudes altamente valorizadas em um contexto marcado pelo desequilíbrio. Édipo, em contrapartida, vê sua reputação enquanto decifrador de enigmas perder força: se antes destacava-se como uma autoridade de saber, apresenta-se agora como uma autoridade de poder, apelando ao exagero e ao absurdo para mascarar a própria ignorância.
Ambivalências do lógos
Authors: Silva Rafael Guimarães Tavares da
Published: March 2024

A tragédia Antígona de Sófocles costuma ser lida na Modernidade a partir de uma contraposição entre valores e perspectivas defendidos pela personagem homônima e aqueles privilegiados por seu tio e governante de Tebas, Creonte: oîkos [lar] / pólis [cidade]; feminino / masculino; religião / política; leis não-escritas / leis escritas; etc. Algumas leituras contemporâneas, inclusive, chegam a propor uma compreensão positiva das atitudes de Antígona, por oposição àquelas assumidas por Creonte (caracterizadas como negativas). No presente artigo, avanço uma interpretação que se baseia numa leitura filológica da peça — informada ainda por estudos antropológicos atentos a questões de gênero e a certas práticas socioculturais — a fim de problematizar esse tipo de tratamento dicotômico simplificado. Pretendo indicar que existe muito de Antígona em Creonte e vice-versa, argumentando em prol de uma compreensão mais atenta às nuances de caracterização dessas personagens, assim como da reflexão trágica de Sófocles: o que se encontra em jogo aqui não é uma solução simples para os dilemas da existência, mas uma problematização da condição humana, dividida entre família e cidade, entre feminino e masculino, entre compromissos religiosos e políticos, esforçando-se por existir.
drama satírico "Ônfale", de Íon de Quios
Authors: Alves Ribeiro Jr. Wilson
Published: March 2024

O drama satírico Ônfale, de Íon de Quios (c. 484-422 aC), é uma representação dramática do mito de Héracles e da rainha lídia Ônfale. Uma discussão do mito e tradução dos fragmentos foram já publicados; nesta segunda parte do artigo, o contexto dos fragmentos e sua posição na estrutura dramática são brevemente comentados. Evidências textuais sugerem que o transvestismo de Héracles, mencionado com frequência do final do Período Helenístico em diante, estava já presente neste drama satírico do Período Clássico.

Vxores dotatae entre a ira e o medo
Authors: Martins da Rocha Carol
Published: March 2024

No repertório da comédia palliata, as esposas com dote (uxores dotatae) são caracterizadas, de maneira geral, como mulheres raivosas, pouco simpáticas e dominadoras. Tal perfil é atribuído à situação legal dos casamentos encenados no palco da Comédia Nova romana. O fato de que o pai da esposa detém a propriedade do dote garantiria a essas mulheres certo poder sobre seus maridos. Assim, estando muitas vezes em posição superior à de seus maridos, as mulheres parecem poder expressar mais livremente suas emoções, como, por exemplo, a ira. Para observar como essa relação de poderes entre marido e esposa nem sempre é tão estável como uma visão estereotipada das emoções femininas pode nos fazer crer, discutimos neste texto uma seleção de passagens da peça Mercator, do comediógrafo romano Tito Mácio Plauto (c. 254-184 a.C.). Nosso ponto é que, por meio da demonstração de emoções como raiva e medo, a situação das esposas com dote é representada de modo nuançado, deixando entrever momentos em que a alegada soberania feminina é ameaçada.
expressão de felicidade na comédia plautina
Authors: Duarte da Silva Alves de Souza Fellipe
Published: March 2024

Neste artigo, intentamos analisar como a expressão de felicidade se mostra nas falas do drama plautino, em cenas variadas, como recurso que promove a manutenção da face positiva das personagens-tipo. Interessa-nos, sobretudo, analisar o uso plautino explícito de gaudere ora na assertiva empática de Sosia em Amphitruo (vv. 957-961), ora na saudação malsucedida entre os senes de Trinummus (v. 51-54), ora na comunicação in absentia de Dordalus para Toxilus em Persa (v. 501-502), dentre outros exemplos. Levando em consideração o contexto cênico e as perlocuções que provoca, concluímos que as funções desempenhadas por gaudere reduzem a distância social entre os interlocutores e aludem à comensalidade social e religiosa da Vrbs.

Abstract: 

Business practices carried out by company owners sometimes set targets that are too high so that budget managers use any means to meet these targets. Budget managers tend to provide dishonest or semi-honest budget reports by using sources of budgetary slack by using the benefits of direct or indirect budgetary slack. This study tries to use the basic concept of measuring budgets using financial elements so that managers are more interested in committing fraud than the concept of measuring using non-financial ones. Furthermore, elements of participatory budgeting are included which allows dishonesty to occur in budget reporting due to information gaps between lower managers and company owners.

This study aims to determine how the basic influence of budget measurement, the benefits of budgetary slack, and participatory budgeting with the dependent variable, namely the honesty of budget reporting with a quasi-experimental method. This study was attended by 120 undergraduate accounting student participants who were divided into 4 experimental groups (2x2).

The results of this study show that the basis for measuring the budget, the benefits of budgetary slack, and participatory budgeting have a significant effect on the honesty of budget reporting.

 

Keywords: Financial and Non-Financial Measurement, Benefits of Budgetary Slack, Honesty in Financial Reporting.

Propósito de la revisión.

HEARTS en las Américas es la adaptación regional de la iniciativa mundial HEARTS, de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, para la prevención y el control de las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV). Su objetivo general es impulsar el cambio de la práctica clínica y de la gestión en los entornos de atención primaria, por parte de los servicios de salud, a fin de mejorar el control de la hipertensión y reducir el riesgo de ECV. En esta revisión se describe la iniciativa HEARTS en las Américas. En primer lugar, se resume la situación epidemiológica regional en cuanto a la mortalidad por ECV y las tendencias en el control de la hipertensión a nivel poblacional; a continuación, se explica la razón de ser de los principales componentes de la intervención: el sistema de manejo orientado a la atención primaria y la vía clínica de HEARTS. Por último, se examinan los factores clave para acelerar la expansión de HEARTS: los medicamentos, la atención basada en el trabajo en equipo y un sistema de monitoreo y evaluación.

Resultados recientes.

Hasta el momento, 33 países y territorios de América Latina y el Caribe se han comprometido a integrar este programa en toda su red de atención primaria de salud para el 2025. El aumento de la cobertura y del control de la hipertensión en los entornos de atención primaria de salud (en comparación con el modelo tradicional) es prometedor y confirma que las intervenciones que se promueven como parte de HEARTS son factibles y resultan aceptables para las comunidades, los pacientes, los prestadores de servicios de salud, los responsables de la toma de decisiones y los financiadores. En esta revisión se destacan algunos casos de implementación satisfactoria.

Conclusiones.

Ampliar el uso de un tratamiento eficaz de la hipertensión y optimizar el control del riesgo de ECV es una forma pragmática de acelerar la reducción de la mortalidad por ECV y, al mismo tiempo, de fortalecer los sistemas de atención primaria de salud para responder con calidad y de manera eficaz y equitativa al desafío que entrañan las enfermedades no transmisibles, no solo en los países de ingresos bajos o medianos, sino en todas las comunidades a nivel mundial.

Objective.

To estimate the prevalence of trachoma in indigenous and non-indigenous populations in selected areas of the state of Maranhão, in northeastern Brazil.

Methods.

This was a population-based survey with probabilistic sampling. For the diagnosis of trachoma, external ocular examination was performed using head magnifying loupes, at 2.5X magnification. The prevalence of trachomatous inflammation – follicular (TF) in children aged 1–9 years and the prevalence of trachomatous trichiasis (TT) in the population aged ≥15 years were estimated. Relative frequencies of sociodemographic and environmental characteristics were obtained.

Results.

The study included 7 971 individuals, 3 429 from non-indigenous populations and 4 542 from indigenous populations. The prevalence of TF in non-indigenous and indigenous populations was 0.1% and 2.9%, respectively, and the prevalence of TT among indigenous populations was 0.1%.

Conclusions.

The prevalence of TF and TT in the two evaluation units in the state of Maranhão were within the limits recommended for the elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. However, the prevalence of TF was higher in the indigenous evaluation unit, indicating a greater vulnerability of this population to the disease. The prevalence of TF of below 5.0% implies a reduction in transmission, which may have resulted from improved socioeconomic conditions and/or the implementation of the World Health Organization SAFE strategy.
Adaptive Data Transmission Protocols for Energy Harvesting WSNs Used in Agriculture
Authors: Kaur Pardeep , Singh Preeti
Published: March 2024

Energy consumption is a major concern in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as it affects the lifespan of sensor nodes. Battery-based WSNs have a short operating period, which makes them impractical for real-time applications, for instance in agriculture. Energy harvesting and suitable medium access control (MAC) protocols have been used to extend the lifetime of nodes. Receiver-initiated protocols have been proved to be the best solution for energy harvesting WSNs. However, they suffer from a key disadvantage, i.e. an increase in collision rate. These collisions need to be reduced using a multi-layer protocol structure. In such a context, a new solar-based hybrid MAC (SHMAC) protocol relying on receiver-initiation and characterized by a multi-layer structure is proposed. It is an adaptive protocol capable of adapting to changing weather conditions. The nodes with a high energy harvesting rate have a higher level of residual energy and are active for longer time periods compared with those with low energy harvesting characteristics. The proposed work has shown improvements in two major MAC layer parameters, i.e. collision rate and energy neutrality operation ratio (ENO).

COVID-19 restrictions badly impacted research activities in universities across the globe. This paper aims to reflect on resilient and sustainable research and publication activities related to undergraduate and postgraduate students and funded projects at the National University of Science & Technology, Oman. This study employed structured interviews with 32 staff members of the 3 constituent colleges of the university under study who supervised undergraduate and postgraduate student projects, and 7 staff members who supervised funded projects during COVID-19. Responses were recorded using pre coded interview forms for better and faster analysis. Borton’s reflection model was used for reflective analysis. It was found that, in response to the restrictions implemented, most of the students’ projects were quick in response and changed from experimental studies to online case studies and that objectives were modified. No student project was delayed due to these modifications. Supervisors found online supervision useful and appreciated the university’s support in terms of library access and remote access to lab software. Furthermore, regarding the funded projects, they were completed with success without needing to change the objectives. The findings of this study may be useful in designing suitable staff training, communication strategies, and internal processes for research grant approvals, and for use in preparation of sustainable practices in university research activities.
In-Depth Analysis of Contributing Factors Impacting Grade 12 Learners' Performance in Life Sciences “Investigation Questions”: A South African Case Study
Authors: Boateng Sakyiwaa , Maliwa Bongeka
Published: March 2024

This study sought to explore contributing factors affecting grade 12 learners’ performance in Life Sciences “investigation questions” in rural high schools in the Oliver Reginald Tambo Inland District of South Africa. The study was underpinned by the social constructivism theory. A qualitative case study design was employed to collect the data. Purposeful sampling was used to select three schools from one circuit. Three Life Sciences teachers and nine learners were purposefully selected to participate in the study. The interview was the main instrument used to collect data. The data were analysed using thematic analysis to generate themes. The main findings of the study indicated: teachers' low pedagogical content knowledge on practical investigation questions; a lack of teaching resources; a lack of parental support; and language proficiency influence on learner understanding. Thus, it is recommended that the Department of Basic Education provide all rural schools with well-furnished laboratories to enable the teachers to conduct practical investigation activities. Furthermore, teachers need to be trained regularly to enhance their content knowledge and equip them with the different pedagogies in teaching Life Science investigations.
Investigating the Application of Thematic Progression in EFL Writing: A Systematic Review
Authors: Sun Guodong , Ahmad Norhakimah Khaiessa
Published: March 2024

A systematic literature review was conducted to examine the studies on the application of thematic progression (TP) to EFL writing. Based on three criteria of research relevance, coverage and update frequency(Shaheen,2023), five databases were chosen, covering Web of Science, Scopus, Eric, Google Scholars and ProQuest. A total of 32 research articles published from 2014 to 2023 were categorized and reviewed. The research methodology mainly follows the guidelines of PRISMA to address the three research questions: 1) What are the development trends in TP -based EFL writing studies including research publications, countries and methodologies? 2) How is TP applied to EFL writing? 3)How does TP influence EFL writing performance? It was discovered that in the past decade there was a steady increase and expansion in the number of research articles and the range of research countries and methods. Moreover, different TP patterns were found to have been distributed across six writing types. These TP patterns established stronger relations with and strengthened writing organization, language use, and content. From the above findings, it can be suggested that TP-based EFL writing researches have regained their development momentum. It can also be inferred that the distribution of TP patterns varies from genre to genre and the patterns improve the overall EFL writing performance by enhancing writing organization, content and language use.

At the convergence of artificial intelligence with pedagogy, digital twin technology is emerging as a tool that offers advanced simulations and interactive learning environments. This is because digital twins make it possible to replicate virtually any piece of equipment or test items in a laboratory. Based on the above, the objective of this article is to explore thematic gaps regarding the use of digital twin technology in the teaching-learning process. For this reason, a bibliometric review study is developed taking as data publications indexed in Scopus, during the years 2018 to 2023. Through the search equation, 92 publications were extracted. The study was developed under a quantitative approach at an exploratory-descriptive level. The results demonstrated that there is a growing and sustained scientific production on the topic under study, showing that, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, there was greater production compared to other years. Furthermore, although it was identified that this technology is applicable to different specialties of higher education, it was determined that, to a greater extent, the topics discussed are engineering education assisted by digital twins, virtual reality and digital twins for engineering training and simulation-based training through digital twins. However, it is concluded that there is an unaddressed gap regarding the rules and regulations that should govern the use of digital twins in higher education as well as what the teacher's competencies should be so as to guarantee the appropriate use of digital twins as part of their teaching methodology, since the impact on student learning depends on this.

The study investigated how the socio-cultural and traditional practices of school-based education duty-bearers influenced the educational access and participation of pregnant and parenting learners (PPLs) who chose to continue with schooling after falling pregnant. Using a qualitative case study research design, four high schools with high rates of girl pregnancy from one South African education district were purposively selected. The participants included 8 school governing body (SGB), 8 school management team (SMT), 8 pregnant-monitoring teachers (PMT), 8 class teachers, 8 PPLs and 8 mainstream learners who schooled with PPLs. Data were collected through individual interviews for PPLs for their confidentiality, and focus group interviews for all the other participants. Study results indicated that due to cultural, traditional perceptions and practices, the South African national education policy measures on the prevention and management of learner pregnancy which allows schoolgirls to return to school after giving birth was loosely observed and implemented at the schools. The reasons for these are; a) Negative attitudes of teachers and mainstream to PPLs; b) Domestication of motherhood and childrearing by community; c) Mythological discernment of PPLs by mainstream learners; d) Character contamination; and e) Femininity as a negative label on PPLs in a formal school setting. Thus, from the findings, it is recommended that school-based duty bearers be trained on democratic education policy frameworks and their implementation strategies, to benefit the vulnerable children such as PPLs, among others.

The growth and development of potential in nationally targeted industries based on the “Thailand 4.0” strategy requires highly skilled labor in specific areas to build new knowledge and competitive capacity in global competition. The formulation of policy, systems, and mechanisms in workforce production and development was the qualified mechanism for attracting and promoting talent to support the systematic mobilization of the national economy. Therefore, this research was aimed at studying the issues and recommendations regarding the roles of Thai higher education institutions (HEIs) in attracting foreign talent to work in Thailand as the mobilization of competitive capacity in main economic sectors and industries. This study was conducted using the constructivist research paradigm and the phenomenological research strategy. The key informants were representatives from 23 organizations whose roles involve talent attraction from foreign countries. Informants were selected through the purposeful sampling method and participated in in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed using content analysis and ensured by triangulation. Issues in attracting foreign-born talent to work in Thailand were summarized based on the findings and classified into three dimensions: (1) bridging gaps of national policies; (2) supporting industry development; and (3) integrating mechanism. Thai HEIs can perform their roles based on the identified components to formulate the policy and develop the talent attraction system. Future research should focus on implementing these recommended strategies in diverse contexts to assess their effectiveness and further refine approaches for attracting international talent to Thailand.

Parent communication can be protective against cannabis use among young adults. However, changes in parent-student communication frequency naturally occur during the transition from high school to college. Recent research suggests declines in parent-student communication frequency predict increased drinking and consequences during the first year of college, yet these effects on other risky behaviors are unknown. The current study investigated whether post-matriculation changes in frequency of texting/calling with parents predict cannabis use and simultaneous use of cannabis and alcohol, and whether pre-matriculation cannabis and simultaneous use predict changes in communication. First-year students (N = 287, 61.3% female, 50.9% White) reported cannabis and simultaneous use pre- and post-matriculation (T1 & T3) and changes in frequency of texting/calling their mother/father per day (T2). Negative binomial hurdle models examined whether T2 changes in communication frequency predicted T3 cannabis and simultaneous use, and logistic regression models examined whether T1 cannabis and simultaneous use predicted T2 changes in communication frequency. Results revealed that increasing (vs. decreasing) frequency of calling with mothers and texting with fathers was protective against cannabis use, whereas increasing frequency of calling with fathers was associated with greater risk of use. Changes in communication did not significantly predict simultaneous use, nor did pre-matriculation cannabis or simultaneous use predict changes in either mode of communication with parents during the college transition. These findings highlight that changes in mother and father communication may be both beneficial and detrimental to cannabis use depending on the parent and mode of communication. Implications for these findings are discussed.

The research was conducted in the Iraqi Equestrian Club (15 km west of Baghdad city center) for the period from 10/1/2021 to 11/30/2022, with the aim of revealing the ACTN3 gene/ EXON-19 region polymorphism and its relationship to the performance of Thoroughbred horses. British in Iraq. It was found that there are 3 variants (3 SNPs) in the ACTN3 gene with respect to exon 19 and in different sites , which are rs1143578253, their polymorphism are TT, TA, and AA and their distribution ratios were 15.38, 56.41 and 28.21%, and that the non-significant difference, and the frequency of the allele was 0.44 and 0.56 for the two alleles C and T, respectively, and the heterogeneity rs1141508235. It appeared that there were two genotypes of the studied piece in the ACTN3/ EXON19 gene in the thoroughbred horses, CC and CT genotype, with the absence of the TT structure, and the highly significant differences (P≤0.01) between the distribution ratios of the combinations in the British thoroughbred, as the two ratios were 87.18 and 12.82% for the two genotypes CC and TC, and the allelic frequencies for the C and T alleles were 0.94 and 0.06, respectively. The distribution percentages of ACTN3/EXON19 gene polymorphism at position rs1146645613/SNP for the horse sample in this study had high significant differences (P≤0.01) between the genotype's distribution percentages in the British thoroughbred, and the percentages were 87.18 and 12.82% for the two genotypes TT and TC, and the mutant structure did not appear. CC and the frequencies for the T and C alleles were 0.94 and 0.06, respectively. There was a significant variation (P≤0.05) in the depth of respiration after exercise according to the different polymorphism of the rs1143578253 hetero, and the highest rate was for the TT combination (84.80 ± 5.13 seconds) as well as the number of respiration times after exercise, but for the hybrid genotype TA (59.16 ± 1.81 times/min), there was There was a highly significant variation (P≤0.01) in the rate of speed according to the genotype of the thoroughbred horses, and the highest rate of speed was for horses with the mutant genotype AA and the lowest for their counterparts with the wild genotype TT. It is concluded from the study that the ACTN3 gene has a distinct role in some of the traits studied on British terrier horses in Iraq, especially the number and depth of respiration after exercise, rate of speed, and some body measurements, specifically body length, chest circumference, and frontal height, as it varied significantly with the difference in the polymorphism of some variations.

In order to evaluate the performance of double-cross maize hybrids in planting dates suitable for fall growing season in the middle region of Iraq, a field experiment was conducted at the fields of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences - University of Baghdad - Jadriya for the fall season of 2022 using double-cross maize hybrids selected from fifteen double cross hybrid maize resulted from crossing ten single hybrids resulting from crossing five inbred lines using the half-diallel method. These included Hybrid 1 = (1×4)(3×5) from the crossing of (ZM49W3E x CDCNS) (ZM43WIZE x ZM19), Hybrid 2 = (1×2)(3×5) from the crossing of (ZM49W3E × CDCN5) (ZM43WIZE x ZM60), Hybrid 3 = (1×5)(2×4) from the crossing of (ZM60 × ZM19) (ZM43WIZE ×CDN5), Hybrid 4 = (1×2)(4×5) from the crossing of (ZM19 × CDCN5) (ZM43WIZE ×ZM60), and Hybrid 5 = (1×4)(2×3) from the crossing of (ZM60 × ZM49W3E) (ZM43WIZE × ZM19), and their comparison with the synthetic variety IPA5018, and testing them under three planting dates: July 1st, July 15th, and August 1st. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with four replications arranged in a split-plot design. The main plots included the three planting dates, while the subplots included the five double-cross maize hybrids and the control variety. Yield and yield components were studied. The results of the experiment showed high significant effects for the third planting date for all traits except for the number of ears per plant, where the third planting date was superior in the number of grains per ears 660.4, weight of 100 grains 37.83 g , days to physiological maturity 99.67 days, crop growth rate 5.644 g plant-1 day-1, and yield per unit area 14.95 ton ha-1. The superiority of the hybrid (1×2)(3×5) in the number of grains ear-1 and the weight of 100 grains was 542.3 and 36.37, respectively., and this was reflected on the yield per unit area, which reached 11.69 ton ha-1, while hybrid (1×2) (3×5) outperformed in number of ears per plant 1.400 and the same hybrid was the earliest to reach physiological maturity at 97.50 days. The response of the double-cross maize hybrids varied with different planting dates and gave significant interaction for all studied traits except for the number of ears per plant.
