Emotion Regulation Mediates Posttraumatic Growth and Cluster B Personality Traits After Childhood Trauma
Authors: Carter Laura , Brooks Matthew , Graham-Kevan Nicola 
Published: July 2022

ObjectivesCluster B personality disorder traits and positive psychological change, known as posttraumatic growth (PTG), are both possible outcomes following childhood trauma. However, existing research has not yet explored whether emotion regulation difficulties can simultaneously explain these negative and positive changes.MethodA sample of childhood trauma survivors (N = 223) provided responses to an online survey, with findings assessed using structural equation modeling techniques.ResultsEmotion regulation difficulties were found to mediate between childhood trauma severity and cluster B traits (abcs = −.05), and between childhood trauma severity and PTG (abcs = .13), with small to medium indirect effects. The final model accounted for more variance in cluster B traits (56%) than PTG (10%).ConclusionsEmotion regulation is therefore a key mediator of positive and negative psychological changes and should be the focus of intervention efforts among childhood trauma survivors.

BackgroundWraparound referrals are a cornerstone of hospital-based violence intervention programs, which have proven to be an effective public health approach for mitigating violence and recidivism. We hypothesized that replacing a manual referral process with an electronic referral application would increase the number of generated referrals and improve compliance with follow-up visits.Study DesignThe population for this single center quantitative study was a convenience sample of firearm-injured patients. Data from 74 patients were collected using the electronic health record, the electronic referral application, and the trauma registry before and after the intervention.ResultsPost-implementation of the electronic referral application showed an increased number of generated referrals, increased emergency department and inpatient utilization of trauma recovery center services, and an increase in second follow-up visit compliance.ConclusionThis study demonstrated an increase in the number of referrals and greater likelihood of completion of post-injury follow-up visits after implementing the electronic referral system.

Published: July 2022

PurposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate the association between COVID-19 related conditions and the perpetration or experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the earliest stage of the pandemic.MethodsThis cross-sectional study analyzed data collected via an internet-based survey in the spring of 2020 from an online sample of noninstitutionalized adults in the United States (N = 2,045). More than half of the sample self-identified as being in an intimate relationship at the time of the study (58.2%, n = 1,183) and were used in the analysis. A four-item tool was used to assess IPV perpetration and victimization during the earliest stage of the pandemic. Respondents self-reported demographic data and recent health histories, including COVID-19 tests results, related symptoms, and degree of personal social distancing. We hypothesized that COVID-19 related factors would increase risks of IPV. Descriptive, correlational, and generalized linear modeling analysis techniques were employed.ResultsCOVID-19 impacted respondents had an increased risk of IPV victimization and perpetration. Among those who reported having symptoms consistent with COVID-19 but were denied access to testing, the odds of being a victim of psychological IPV was three times more likely than those who did not have symptoms. Respondents who reported testing positive to COVID-19 were two to three times more likely to experience or perpetrate psychological and physical IPV against an intimate partner. People who lost their job due to the pandemic were three to four times more likely to perpetrate IPV compared to those who remained employed.ConclusionsEspecially during this COVID-19 pandemic period, our results emphasize the need for an ongoing public-health response to IPV. Continued surveillance via effective screening, intervention development, and implementation is needed.

Published: July 2022

This study investigated the reading preferences of freshmen and sophomores female English students at the University of Science and Technology (UST), Sana’a, during the year 2010-2011. It tried to find out any significant differences between students regarding reading motives, reasons for not to read, things they read and what they prefer to read about. The researchers adapted a reading habits questionnaire; and after checking its validity and reliability, it was distributed to 100 students at the UST. The main findings revealed that there were significant differences between level one and level two students in all the categories of the questionnaire; the most frequent motive of level one students for reading was for education while level two students' first motive was pleasure. Watching TV was found to be the most common reason that hindered students of both levels from reading. It was therefore recommended that EFL reading teachers take into consideration students' reading preferences and show them how to select and read any reading material of their interest. This might contribute to developing the habit of reading for pleasure that would ultimately have a positive impact on their performance.

Annulment of Marriage for Incompetence: A Comparative Study
Authors: شجاع الدين عبد المؤمن عبد القادر 
Published: July 2022

This study aimed to investigate the problem of having only one and whole stipulation in the Personal Status Law which regulates the annulment of marriage for incompetence reasons, whereby the Law does not address most provisions of this matter. In case of no stipulation the Law also refers judges and researchers to consider the strongest evidence from Islamic Sharia, which is a difficult task, if not impossible. This has made provisions related to this matter unclear in the minds of most judges, advocates and researchers. Therefore, to tackle this problem, and using the inductive, descriptive and analytical method, whenever required, the researcher collected the provisions of this matter from reliable and approved Fiqh sources, indicating how such provisions are dealt with in some Arab laws, appropriate to the Yemeni context. Also, the researcher made a comparison and weighting between the opinions of Fiqh doctrines concerning competence in marriage. In conclusion, the study indicated that the required trait between spouses should be (religion) Islam only. The study recommended the amendment of Yemeni Personal Law so as to include some provisions on competence, and to explain the trait Islam which means the husband should observe regular Islamic rituals, including performing prayers, fasting and Zakat, as well as non-committing major sins.
Keywords: Marriage bond, Competence, Annulment of marriage.

Published: July 2022

The research aimed at measuring the level of organizational performance according to the perspective of the Balanced Score Card (BSC). It also aimed to identify the nature of the differences in measuring the performance level in the light of the variables and type of higher management positions, faculty type, and years of service years. The researcher used the descriptive analytical methodology, where the concept of organizational performance was explained, and the related previous studies were reviewed and presented, with a focus on the strategic approach to measure the performance from the BSC perspective. To achieve the objective of the study, a questionnaire was designed, consisting of 36 indictors distributed over the four dimensions of the BSC (learning and growth, internal operations, clients, and finance). The sample included 80 participants representing academic and administrative leaders in the Universities of Sana'a and Aden. The research concluded that the organizational performance level was generally low in both universities. This was a reflection of weak performance in the BSC four dimensions. No differences occurred in the evaluation levels of those dimensions that could be attributed to these variables: type of higher management positions, faculty type, and years of service.

Authors: Al-Sorihi Sultan Ali 
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine external auditor's independence related factors (IRF) associated with financial reporting fraud risk assessment (FRFRA). A quantitative instrument was used to measure FRFRA and IRF. In total, 254 external auditors participated in this study. Results found that social relations, and hiring and changing of the auditor are positively and significantly associated with FRFRA. Otherwise economic relations and audit fees are insignificant. This study serves to inform external auditors on how to improve their consideration of FRFRA. It also contributes to the limited body of research on FRFRA within IRF in the emerging economy. New variables were included for external auditors’ independence related factors. These variables consist of social relations, economic relations, and hiring and changing of the auditor. By including these new variables, more contributions are made to the extant literature and more evidence is provided on the results of external auditors in the Republic of Yemen.

Requirements of Acquiring the Capacity of Merchant by Brokers in the Yemeni and Egyptian Laws: A Comparative Study
Authors: نائف حبيب الرحمن علي أحمد 
Published: July 2022

A broker’s acquisition of the capacity of a merchant, whether natural or corporate, would place him in a legal status different from other people. The problem of this study is that many people engage in the business of brokerage without realizing the requirements of the legal status they get into, and without understanding the rules of this issue in their minds. The study aimed to shed light on the requirements brokers should possess in order to acquire the capacity of a merchant as well as other matters pertaining to this issue. This issue was addressed within the framework of Yemeni and Egyptian legislations, supported by Fiqh opinions and judicial judgments where possible. The researcher used the descriptive, analytical and comparative method as per the research requirements. The study concluded that Yemeni Commercial Law (1991) considers brokerage a commercial business in all cases, regardless of the broker’s capacity or intention. Also, engaging and practicing the profession of brokerage independently by any person who has the commercial capacity would make the broker obtain the capacity of a merchant, whether be it commercial or civil brokerage. It was recommended to add a stipulation to the law which makes it obligatory for the broker to have a work permit so as to regulate the business of brokerage and ascertain the availability of requirements for becoming a broker and acquiring the capacity of a merchant.
Language Policy and its Relation to Identity in the Arab World
Authors: المهدي يحيى بن محمد بن علي 
Published: July 2022

Arabic language is the cultural arsenal and the strong fence that protects and expresses Arab identity at the same time. This study sheds some light on the Arab language policy planning and its relation to the Arab identity. Using an analytical descriptive approach, the study aims at providing a clear picture of the status of Arab identity on the list of priorities of current language policies in the Arab World, which can be beneficial for scholars and decision makers. The study concluded with a number of findings, recommendations and suggestions. The most important of these is the existence of a serious contradiction between what exists and what should be on these policies. Moreover, there are a number of challenges that threaten identity from the inside. There is also a need to raise awareness of the importance of the Arabic language as a spoken identity, which warrants the effective involvement of language specialists in creating language policies, the establishment of Arabic as an identity formation and rooting language, the enactment of laws to protect the Arabic language, and the dedication to Arabize education. Finally, specialists and interested scholars should be involved in more comprehensive research and in-depth studies in this area, which can perhaps reduce the growing crack in the wall of the standard Arabic day after day.

A Survey of the Yemeni Translation Market Needs
Authors: Alshargabi Eman , Al-Mekhlafi Mohammed Abdu 
Published: July 2022

Academic programs have changed to become learner-centered. As such, programs are based on the competences that learners should acquire. One major source for these competences is the market. The aim of this study was to identify the translation competences needed by the Yemeni market. Drawing on recent literature, the researcher developed a questionnaire, and a total number of 50 professional translators – working in Sana’a – filled the questionnaire. It included 35 items distributed to five categories: bilingual competence, cultural competence, translation competence, instrumental competence, and strategic competence, in addition to psycho-physiological components of translators. Results revealed that all translation competences were important and needed by the market; none was marked as unimportant. Specifically, 21 of them were highly important. The highest degrees of importance were for basic skills without which translation tasks can never be done: language competence, bicultural competence, problem solving procedures, and use of dictionaries and information mining. Meanwhile, the focus –though needed – was less on the competences of interpreting and modern translation technologies which can be attributed to the difficult times Yemen experiences currently that caused recession in the translation market.That was obvious in the lack of conferences and official activities, in additionto the lack of specialists in translation technology.
Investigating University Students' Failure in English Requirement Courses
Authors: Ali Jamal Kaid Mohammed 
Published: July 2022

Some university students might fail at their first attempt to study English requirement courses, but later they perform well, ultimately recognizing that the courses were easy and their failure in such simple courses was a great loss. Others continue failing, get frustrated and finally may quit trying. The purpose of the current study, therefore, was to investigate the factors that contribute to university non-English major students' failure in English courses. A mixed model questionnaire was used to collect data from 56 male students who failed English at the University of Bisha, Saudi Arabia. All participants had previously failed English and were repeating the English requirement course during the period of data collection. Results of the study revealed that factors such as teachers, anxiety and inappropriate study methods were more responsible for students' failure than motivation, friends and family problems. Results also showed a significant difference between students who only failed the English course and those who failed two or more other courses. Those who failed two or more courses scored higher on anxiety than those who failed only English. Recommendations were that English teachers should be trained to follow collaborative learning and student-centered approaches and that the English curriculum for non-English major students should reflect their major.
Keywords: anxiety, motivation, students' failure, study methods, teachers.
