Microwave Assisted Preparation of Self-Extinguishing Cotton Fabrics by Small Molecules Containing Phosphorous and Nitrogen
Authors: Chang SeChin , Condon Brian , Smith Jade
Published: March 2019

Background:

New methods for preparing surface modification of flame retardant cotton
fabrics were employed by applying a microwave-assisted technique with a minimum amount of
co-solvent. Efforts at flame retardant cotton fabrics treated with economic and environmentally
friendly flame retardant compounds based on the small molecules piperazine, PN and PNN, were
done successfully.

Methods and Results:

The evidence of flame retardant chemical penetrations or surface modification
of cotton fabrics was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and the treated cotton fabrics
were evaluated by flammability tests, such as 45°angle (clothing textiles test) and limiting Oxygen
Index (LOI). Thermogravimetric analysis of all treated cotton fabrics in a nitrogen atmosphere
showed high thermal stability, as decomposition occurred between 276.9~291.2°C with 30.5~35.7%
residue weight char yield at 600°C. Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and the 45° angle flammability test
were used to determine the efficiency of the flame-retardant treatments on the fabrics. LOI values for
control twill fabric showed ~18 vol% oxygen in nitrogen, whereas the highest treatment level had 32
vol%. High add-on treatments with flame retardants also readily passed the 45° angle flammability
test.

Conclusion:

In the Microscale Combustion Calorimeter (MCC) tests, a decline in heat of combustion
was shown through the smaller values acquired for THR, HRC and Tmax for all PN and PNN
samples.
Synthesis of 1,2-Diamine Bifunctional Catalysts for the Direct Aldol Reaction Through Probing the Remote Amide Hydrogen
Authors: Dodda Rajasekhar , Samanta Sampak , Su Matthew , Zhao John Cong-Gui
Published: March 2019

Background:

While proline can catalyze the asymmetric direct aldol reactions, its catalytic
activity and catalyst turnover are both low. To improve the catalytic efficiency, many prolinebased
organocatalysts have been developed. In this regard, prolinamide-based bifunctional catalysts
have been demonstrated by us and others to be highly efficient catalysts for the direct aldol reactions.

Results:

Using the β-acetamido- and β-tosylamidoprolinamide catalysts, the highly enantio- and diastereoselective
direct aldol reactions between enolizable ketones and aldehydes were achieved (up to
>99% ee, 98:2 dr). A low catalyst loading of only 2-5 mol % of the β-tosylamidoprolinamide catalyst
was needed to obtain the desired aldol products in good to high yields and high stereoselectivities.

Methods:

By carefully adjusting the hydrogen bonding ability of the remote β-amide hydrogen of the
1,2-diamine-based prolinamide bifunctional catalysts, the catalytic activity and the asymmetric induction
of these catalysts were significantly improved for the direct aldol reaction between aldehydes
and enolizable ketones.

Conclusion:

Some highly efficient 1,2-diamine-based bifunctional prolinamide catalysts have been
developed through probing the remote β-amide hydrogen for its hydrogen bonding capability. These
catalysts are easy to synthesize and high enantioselectivities may be achieved at very low catalyst
loadings.

Authors: Eswari Jujjavarapu Satya , Tripathi Manwendra Kumar , Dhagat Swasti , Karn Santosh Kr.
Published: March 2019

Background:

Renewable sources of energy like biodiesel are substitute energy fuel which are made from renewable bio sources or biomasses. Due to many advantages of using algae (Chlorella sp), we performed design of experiments in terms of functional and biochemical factors such as biomass, chlorophyll content, protein moiety and carbohydrate and lipid contents.

Objective:

Our objective is maximization of lipid accumulation (y1) and chlorophyll content (y2) and minimization of carbohydrate consumption (y3), protein (y4) and biomass (y5) contents. By using the experimental data, the regression model has been developed in order to obtain the desired response (biomass, chlorophyll, protein, carbohydrate and lipid) therefore it is necessary to optimize input conditions. The pre-optimization stage is an important part and useful for the production of biodiesel as biomass which is renewable energy to improve the quality.

Methodology:

The corresponding input and output conditions with multi-objective optimisation using naïve & sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA) is X1=0.99, X2=0.001, X3=-1.111, X4=0.01 and Lipid= 42.34, Chlorophyll=1.1212 (µgmL-1), Carbohydrate= 24.54%, Protein= 0.0742 (mgmL-1), Biomass=0.999 (gL-1).

Conclusion:

The multi-objective optimization NSGA prediction is compared with the response surface model combined with a genetic algorithm (RSM-GA) and we observed better productivity with NSGA.
A review on biogas production as the alternative source of fuel
Authors: Alhassan Kamalu Abdullahi , Abdullahi Badamasi Tijjani , Shah M. Manjur
Published: March 2019

Challenges related to energy shortages are increasingly frequent both at the local and global scale due to population growth and the desire for a greater standard of living. The growing demand for oil and natural gas caused by high consumption levels is one of the current major problems faced by the world population. Therefore, new forms of energy generation must be investigated that would eventually allow the diversification of the present energy matrix, which has an almost 90% dependence on fossil fuels the world over. This coupled with long-term economic and environmental concerns have resulted in a great amount of research in the past decades on renewable sources of liquid fuels to replace fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil releases carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a major cause of global warming. It is anticipated that not a single source of alternative energy but a mix of various energy sources and carriers will contribute to the energy system of the future. Among the various sources been explored, biogas offer one of the best alternative options as they present a viable option for improving sustainable development through energy security and reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. This paper elaborates on Biogas production as the alternative source of fuel. The paper also studies the importance of Biogas production as a means of reducing problem of power energy, environmental vandalism, loss of resources, climate change and also reduce environmental pollution caused by burning of woods, cars, motorcycle and industrial activities.
Framing Mental Health Within Digital Games: An Exploratory Case Study of Hellblade
Authors: Fordham Joseph , Ball Christopher
Published: March 2019

Background

Researchers and therapists have increasingly turned to digital games for new forms of treatments and interventions for people suffering from a variety of mental health issues. Yet, the depiction of mental illness within digital games typically promotes stigmatized versions of those with mental health concerns. Recently, more games have attempted to implement more realistic and respectful depictions of mental health conditions.

Objective

This paper presents an exploratory analysis of a contemporary game that has the potential to change the way researchers, practitioners, and game designers approach topics of mental health within the context of gaming.

Methods

A case study of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice was conducted using frame analysis to show how key design choices for this game present the potential for new ways of approaching games and mental health.

Results

A case study of Hellblade’s development shows how research-informed collaborative design with mental health practitioners, scientists, and individuals with mental health problems can lead to a realistic depiction of mental illness in games. Furthermore, the use of frame analysis demonstrates how to harness narrative, mechanics, and technology to create embodied experiences of mental health, which has the potential to promote empathetic understanding.

Conclusions

This paper highlights an exemplary case of collaborative commercial game design for entertainment purposes in relation to mental health. Understanding the success of Hellblade's depiction of psychosis can improve serious games research and design. Further research must continue to provide deeper analysis of not only games that depict mental illness, but also the design process behind them.

Authors: Giraldo Giraldo Camilo , Cardona Cifuentes Fabio Andrés
Published: March 2019

El objetivo del artículo es determinar las características del uso y el impacto del WhatsApp en procesos radiales de emisoras análogas de Manizales (Colombia). Como instrumento para la metodología descriptiva y cuantitativa que siguió esta investigación, se conformó una muestra con 58 participantes (directores, productores y realizadores) adscritos a 45 programas radiales de diez emisoras análogas de Manizales. Se aplicó una encuesta con preguntas cerradas y abiertas, y una entrevista semiestructurada para probar la hipótesis. Entre los principales resultados se encontró que, a diario, el 74% de los participantes usa WhatsApp para la producción, y un 83%, para interactuar con los oyentes durante la realización del programa. La interacción por teléfono, cartas y correo electrónico es desplazada por la interacción a través de redes sociales digitales y mediante los textos, las llamadas y las notas de voz del WhatsApp. Se concluye que el WhatsApp ya se instaló como instrumento de trabajo en los procesos de producción y realización radial y que, en alguna medida, empieza a desplazar el uso de la grabadora reportera. Además de esta aplicación digital, las redes sociales transformaron la manera de producir y realizar la programación radial y, sobre todo, la forma en que participan los oyentes.

Suomea Torontossa: yliopisto-opiskelijat ja suomalaiset seniorit palveluoppimisyhteistyössä
Authors: Muhonen Anu , Vaarala Heidi
Published: March 2019

Kuvaamme artikkelissamme yhteisössä toteutettavaa palveluoppimispedagogiikkaa (community engaged service learning pedagogy) Toronton yliopiston suomen kielen ohjelman ja Toronton Suomi-kodin eli suomenkielisen seniorikeskuksen välillä. Osana suomi vieraana kielenä -kurssia opiskelijat vierailevat säännöllisesti Suomi-kodissa, osallistuvat sen toimintaan ja viettävät aikaa suomenkielisten senioreiden parissa.   

Tutkimme sitä, mitä siirtolaissenioripari (Sirkka ja Pentti) ja kaksi nuorta suomen kielen opiskelijaa (Rosa ja Ilja) ajattelevat ja puhuvat kielestä ja sen oppimisesta erilaisissa kohtaamisissa. Lisäksi pohdimme sitä, millaisia siltoja yhteistyö muodostaa senioreiden ja nuorten välille. Hyödynnämme analyysissa lingvististä etnografiaa niin metodina kuin aineiston keruussakin. Aineiston muodostavat lukuvuonna 2016–2017 tallennetut epämuodolliset haastattelut, spontaanit keskustelutilanteet, niiden ääni- ja videotallenteet sekä opiskelijoiden kirjoittamat reflektiot. Lisäksi aineistona on käytetty kenttämuistiinpanoja ja valokuvia.

Tutkimus paljastaa, että senioreiden ja opiskelijoiden kielikäsitykset eroavat jonkin verran toisistaan, mutta kielenoppimiskäsityksissä on myös runsaasti autenttisista oppimisympäristöistä ja kokemuksista johtuvia yhtenevyyksiä. Punaisena lankana kulkee senioreiden menneisyyteen liittyvät muistelot ja opiskelijoiden haaveet suomenkielisestä tulevaisuudesta. Yhteisössä toteutettava palveluoppiminen avaa uusia mahdollisuuksia kielen ja sisältöjen opetukselle yliopistoissa niin ulkomailla kuin Suomessakin ja haastaa vakiintuneita pedagogisinstitutionaalisia rakenteita uudistumaan.

Authors: Martin Florence , Budhrani Kiran , Kumar Swapna , Ritzhaupt Albert
Published: March 2019

Given the explosive growth of online learning in institutions of higher education, we are in dire need of guidelines for instructing new and continuing online instructors on how best to teach in online spaces.  The purpose of this study was to identify the roles of the online instructor and categorize critical competencies for online teaching based on a review of research, and the perspectives of award-winning online faculty. We interviewed eight award-winning online faculty members from across the United States. Based on interviews, it was found that online instructors were assuming five different roles: Facilitator, Course Designer, Course Delivery, Subject Matter Expert, and Mentor.  Participants’ common tasks when designing and teaching an online course fell in two areas, either Course Design or Teaching. This research has clear implications not only for the literature research base, but for our institutions as well as we continue to offer increasing numbers of effective online courses and programs to our students.
Social Network Analysis and Online Learning Communities in Higher Education: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: K. Jan Shazia , Vlachopoulos Panos , Parsell Mitch
Published: March 2019

This paper presents the results of a systematic literature review which sets out to explore the use of social network analysis (SNA) for investigating online learning communities in higher education. The impetus for such a review originated from an increased interest by researchers in SNA techniques to investigate interactions and learning engagement in various types of online communities. However, the researchers often omit to ground their research and SNA methods in community based learning frameworks such as communities of inquiry (CoI) and communities of practice (CoP). We identified a handful of studies that integrate SNA methods and key constructs from these frameworks and examined: SNA measures and corresponding theoretical constructs used; other analytical techniques used; limitations and; suggestions for further research. We found that while SNA is effective in detecting prominent participants, sub-groups and certain aspects of a CoP, a specific SNA measure cannot be correlated with a particular presence in a CoI. Therefore, SNA needs to be complemented with a qualitative analytical technique. Whether SNA can be used as a stand-alone technique for identifying communities remains to be seen. We also find a lack of consideration to attributional and performance variables in existing studies. In conclusion, we propose the development of a fully integrated research framework for a holistic analysis of online learning and teaching.

Authors: Singleton Korey Jerome , Evmenova Anna , Kinas Jerome Marci , Clark Kevin
Published: March 2019

This qualitative case study design examined the perspectives that instructional designers at a 4-year research institution in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States have about integrating UDL strategies into the online course development process. The participants were six individuals involved in the online course development process: four of the participants were instructional designers working for the Instructional Design Team, one participant was an assistant program manager in the Office of Distance Education, and the other was an instructional designer working in the College of Health and Human Services. The interviews focused on the participant’s perspectives on the integration of UDL strategies and how they believe faculty perceived such practices. Using a series of semi-structured interviews and document analysis, three distinct themes emerged: (a) the importance of the instructional designer/faculty member partnership, (b) the number of factors impacting faculty adoption of UDL strategies in their online courses, and (c) faculty resistance to changes in how classroom accommodations are addressed in the higher education classroom. In addition to highlighting factors impacting the integration of UDL strategies, the findings also revealed techniques that could be useful in improving faculty adoption of such practices.
Exploring the relationship of background, technology and motivation variables to business school transfer intent for two mixed course format business undergraduate samples
Authors: Blau Gary , Gaffney Mary Anne , Schirmer Michael , Ozkan Bora , Kim YJ
Published: March 2019

Business students are increasingly taking online courses to supplement their more traditional face-to-face (F2F) course-delivered education. This study explored the relationship of background, course or technology, and motivation variables to business school transfer intent for a mixed course delivery sample of undergraduate business students taking online classes.  Two separate samples of students taking both online and F2F courses i.e., mixed course delivery format, filled out an online survey in the fall 2016 and spring 2017 semesters.  Intent to transfer business schools was lower for both samples. Results showed that being male, perceived favorability of online courses, and lower institutional commitment were significant correlates of intent to transfer across both samples.  This outcome variable, intent to transfer, should be added to the research agenda for ongoing efforts across all universities and colleges when testing the impact of online education.

Antecedentes góticos en relatos del XVI: el fantasma
Authors: Agustí Aparisi Carme
Published: March 2019

El espectro, sombra, espíritu, larva, revenant, o fantasma, forma parte de la memoria colectiva de la humanidad desde la antigüedad, ya que el miedo al retorno de los muertos siempre ha sido un miedo antropológico y ancestral. De este modo encontramos que el fantasma ya estaba presente en muchos de los cuentos y relatos del siglo XVI. Analizaremos la producción hispánica de tres autores, para estudiar tres historias de fantasmas contextualizadas en casas, cuevas, o grandes mansiones. Describiremos escenografías, ambientes, motivos y sensaciones que contribuyeron a la creación de un imaginario que, posteriormente, dará lugar a la literatura gótica. De este modo, exploraremos el goticismo de la literatura de fantasmas del XVI.

Jacob Burckhardt and his Athens or How to Shape an Authoritarian Democratic State
Authors: Moerbeck Guilherme
Published: March 2019

This article was organized in three parts. In the first one, a concise introduction to the History of Greek Culture and its historical environment is presented. The focus of the second part lies on Burckhardt’s ideas on the emergence of the polis in Ancient Greece, and how the main thoughts of the Swiss historian tend to materialize in the Ancient past some theoretical conceptions of the nineteenth century. The Athens of Burckhardt is analyzed in the final part of this paper; the core of the author’s approach, and the way he built the idea of the “state as evil” to the democratic Athens of the fifth and the sixth centuries BC are explained. At last, the very meaning of Burckhardt’s Athens – a city-state degenerated by the government of its demoralized mob rule –, is discussed.

Authors: Ziacchi Matteo , Giannola Gabriele , Lunati Maurizio , Infusino Tommaso , Luzzi Giovanni , Rordorf Roberto , Pecora Domenico , Bongiorni Maria Grazia , De Ruvo Ermenegildo , Biffi Mauro
Published: March 2019

Aims

About one-third of patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) are not responders, due to either patient selection or technical issues. Left ventricular quadripolar passive fixation leads (QPL) and bipolar active fixation (BAF) leads have been designed to ensure a targeted left ventricular stimulation area, minimizing lead dislodgments and phrenic nerve stimulation (PNS). The aim was to compare real-world safety and efficacy of BAF (Attain Stability, Medtronic Plc.) and QPL (Attain Performa, Medtronic Plc.).

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis examining procedural and follow-up data of 261 BAF and 124 QPL (programmed to single-site left ventricular pacing), included in the ClinicalService project from 16 Italian hospitals.

Results

At median follow-up of 12 months, no difference in left ventricular pacing threshold was recorded between BAF and QPL (1.3 ± 0.9 V @0.4 ms vs. 1.3 ± 1.0 V @0.4 ms; P = 0.749). Total left ventricular lead dislodgement rate was 1.43/100 patient-years in BAF vs. 2.9/100 patient-years in QPL (P = 0.583). However, no dislodgements occurred among BAF after hospital discharge. Events requiring repeated surgery or permanently turning CRT off occurred in 0.8% of BAF, as compared with 4.0% of QPL (P = 0.025). There was no difference between groups in the echo CRT responders’ rate (70% of BAF and 66% of QPL; P = 0.589) or in the annual rate of heart failure hospitalization (P = 0.513).

Conclusions

BAF resulted in noninferior clinical outcome and CRT responders’ rate in comparison to QPL. Moreover, BAF ensured more precise and stable placement in cardiac veins, with comparable electrical performance and less than 1% patients with unsolved PNS.

Authors: Ghozali Imam
Published: March 2019

Education is an effort to optimize human potential in its entirety, potential, humanity and natural potential (environment) that as an effort to ask Islamic students to the realization of righteous human beings. Baitul Ulum Mojoduwur Jombang Islamic Boarding School guides students to carry out activities to maintain the cleanliness of the Islamic boarding school environment (natural potential) as a form of implementation of an ecological based Islamic education model. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the forms of activities to maintain the cleanliness of the environment of Islamic boarding schools in the ecology-based Islamic education model and the ecological concept in the fiqh perspective and the problematic implementation of ecology-based Islamic education in Baitul Ulum Islamic Boarding School. Descriptive analysis types qualitative research, with data collection techniques namely observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques are the description, reduction and interpretation. The results of the discussion that the concept of ecological-based Islamic education in its application can be reflected in two models. First, the classical model, which is applicative, still uses the Islamic distinctive cultures, such as Roanan (workmanship) once a week, and cleaning pickets clean the cottage environment. Second, the modern model, namely by utilizing natural technological advances such as findings in the field, is to replant the land around the hut and fertilizing it with natural fertilizers. The problem of the implementation of Ecological-based Islamic education in Baitul Ulum Mojoduwur Mojowarno Jombang Islamic Boarding School is the existence of historical factors, land factors, and the density of literary activities with the activities of reciting and attending school making the implementation of ecologically based Islamic education models only a small part in its application.
The Agents Of Environmental Education Through Women's School In Karanganyar, Tempurejo Village, Tempurejo Sub-District, Jember Regency
Authors: Dewi Setyari Agustina
Published: March 2019

Environmental education is badly needed today because a lot of developments often ignore the environment care. Understanding of caring for the environment cannot be built instantly but it must begin early. The role of women in conducting environmental education is very important. In reviewing eco-feminism, this role is certainly inseparable from gender role attached to women as guards of life and the environment. It can be seen from the term of mother and the name of the goddess of fertility which is always symbolized by woman. This situation has made many women learn about the environment. Consequently, this makes women have education and knowledge that are quite related to the environment. Through women's school, the role of women as guards of environment is expected to be more optimal. Through this women's school, women are expected to be able to form environmental literacy groups which can later become the agents of environmental education for the community.

The field experiments were carried out in the farmer field at C. Mutlur near Chidambaram during rabi and kharif 2017. The results of experiments revealed that the per cent shoot damage and fruit damage by E. vittella on bhendi  reached peak on 13th and 15th MSW in rabi season, whereas 43rd and 42nd MSW in kharif season. The per cent shoot damage and fruit damage by E. vittella were exerted significantly positively correlated with minimum (0.552 & 0.698) and maximum temperature (0.629 & 0.748), whereas rainfall positively correlated with per cent shoot and fruit damage but it was non significant (0.111 & 0.297), however relative humidity (-0.178 & -0.210) and sunshine hours were exerted negatively correlated with per cent shoot damage and fruit damage by E. vittella during rabi 2017. The kharif season 2017 indicated that per cent shoot damage and fruit damage of bhendi was positively non significant association with RH and rain fall, while negatively non significant correlation with minimum temperature (-0.43 & -0.309) and sunshine hours (-0.265 & -0.283) was recorded.

Heterosis breeding is one of the most efficient tools to exploit the heterotic response for various useful traits. The Line × Tester mating design was undertaken with seven lines and three testers were evaluated along with twenty one hybrids in randomized block design to estimate the magnitude of heterosis for yield and its yield contributing characters. The best way to utilize heterosis in crop is to generate F1 hybrids having maximum heterozygocity, thereby facilitating the identification and selection of hybrid vigor. The positive significant standard heterosis for fruit yield per plant was maximum with L3 × T1 (28.94%) followed by L7 × T3 (15.73%) and L7 × T1 (15.10%) respectively. Some of the promising hybrids have showed desirable heterosis for plant height, number of fruits per plant,1000 seed weight, seedling shoot length, seedling root length and seedling dry weight.

Dengan adanya permasalahan-permasalahan yang ada dalam sistem kontrak PSC Cost Recovery, pemerintah merancang skema baru yaitu PSC Gross Split. Skema ini dirancang dalam rangka peningkatan efisiensi dan efektivitas pola bagi hasil produksi minyak dan gas bumi. Dimana dengan menerapkannya skema ini diharapkan kontraktor dapat melakukan investasinya di Indonesia secara lebih efisien, dan skema ini memberikan keleluasan serta tantangan yang besar untuk kontraktor. Sehingga apabila kontraktor dapat melakukan investasinya di Indonesia secara lebih efisien maka keuntungan yang didapatkan juga akan lebih besar. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan didapatkan nilai NPV sebesar 28.282 MMUSD dan nilai IRR sebesar 16.684%. Sehingga pada kasus lapangan ini, dengan menggunakan sistem kontrak PSC Gross Split dikatakan layak. Selain itu, apabila dilihat dari segi analisis sensitivitasnya bahwa parameter yang paling mempengaruhi adalah harga gas dan komponen variabel. Suatu proyek dapat dikatakan menguntungkan atau layak apabila nilai NPV > 0 (positif), IRR > MARR, dan POT < umur proyek. Nilai MARR yang telah ditentukan yaitu sebesar 15%. Sehingga untuk parameter variable split memiliki nilai minimum agar tidak di bawah dari nilai MARR yaitu sebesar 17.22%. Sedangkan untuk harga gas, memiliki nilai minimum dengan persen perubahan sebesar 85%.

The State of Iraq was formed in 1921 and described as a product of the British occupation state. This was in line with what was planned by the occupation government in all fields of intellectual, cultural and political.

This resulted in the establishment of the "King of Iraq" of Arab origins, as well as contributed groups of tribal or economic influence to contribute to the establishment of the Iraqi state, where the Iraqi society was suffering from poverty and ignorance and disease under the Ottoman Empire, and others may see that the Iraqi state, which came under the umbrella Britain, after the First World War, may not differ in terms of dealing with the Iraqi society from the Ottoman administration, and may be a continuation of, and worse, and therefore there was concern, and fear of all steps of the government, even if it was positive, and increased military intervention through coups policy The state and its apparatus to calculate the dominant parties But it turned into a preoccupation with the minds of the people, the futility or futility of such coups, which are no more than conflicts between families, parties, and perhaps people, using the violence that the military led to express in the three coups which We gave it our attention in this study, which included, after this introduction, three investigations and a conclusion.

This paper deals with the nature and causes of change in Turkish foreign policy towards its neighbors, specifically Iraq. This change, which was the main reason, the new obstacles faced by the external movement and result, directly or indirectly, of the variables that have emerged in neighboring countries during the past decade, including Iraq, of course. Where the relationship between Turkey and Iraq is one of the most sensitive relations in the Middle East, and the Kurdistan region of Iraq has formed one of the important factors that contributed to the nature of that relationship between them. Therefore, the research attempts to detect the paths of change in the Turkish foreign policy towards the central government in Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government for the period 2003-2015. Many researchers and academics have pointed to the changing and contradictory nature of Turkish foreign policy toward Iraq in the post-2003 era. The main question in this paper is: Why was there no consistent position in Turkish foreign policy towards the central government in Baghdad and Kurdistan Regional Government in Arbil between In 2003-2015? The hypothesis of the research is that countries adopt change in their foreign policies in order to achieve their national interests and interests with the lowest costs and more benefits. Turkey has adopted a change in its foreign policy toward its neighbors as well, specifically Iraq, and this research will try to test this hypothesis on the Turkish policy towards Iraq. The duration of the search, if it is or not. The research in the final analysis shows that one of the most important results of improving relations between Turkey and the Kurdistan Regional Government will be in favor of the Turkish quest to strengthen its influence in front of Iranian influence in Iraq and the region as a whole.
