No full textBuilding and maintaining rapport between teachers and students, and their effect on student’s learning outcomes and classroom environment, this research examines which strategies lecturers use to build and maintain rapport with their students at the Medical Biochemical Analysis department at Cihan University-Erbil. Participants (N=100) answered open-ended survey questions about strategies for rapport-building. A total of (12) strategies for building and maintaining rapport include: using the whole first day, exercising self-disclosure, recognizing students, becoming acquainted with students, being accessible, starting warmly, emphasizing student-centered learning, gathering student feedback, authenticity, listening to students, respecting students, and fairness/ being even-handed. Furthermore, ten educators were interviewed to determine the approach they employed to establish and sustain a positive learning atmosphere and achieve successful results.

Identity Crises: Postcolonial Reading to Private School Admission Advertisement Posters (2023-2024) in Raparin District
No full textThis research paper aims to investigate identity crisis in some Private School Admission Advertisement Posters in Raparin District/ Sulaymaniyah in the northern part of Iraq for academic years 2023-2024 from the postcolonial worldview. A preamble study of postcolonial theory is bound up with the traces of colonization and its effects on the psychology of the colonized. The colonizer has proven itself in many ways and endeavors to prolong its hegemony by any means. One of the colonial policies that the colonizer has employed is creating the false consciousness of the colonizer as superior in the mind of the colonized. This article endeavors to show how Private School Admission Advertisement Posters in the Raparin District were created under the impact of the colonial false consciousness. The study articulates the reason behind using European figures in their posters instead of non-European individuals and shows that colonization and it’s legacy still exists. This contraction shows that the advertisers are influenced by European cultures, shapes, and values. Unconsciously, they are portraying themselves as the West’s other by giving superiority to Europeans over non-Europeans
Comparison of Biochemical Parameters in Vaccinated and Non-vaccinated SARS-COV-2 Patients in Erbil-City
No full textCOVID-19 is one of the major pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2. Vaccination is one of the methods used that reduce the spread of an infectious disease. Consequently, we aimed to measure the levels of some liver parameters (ALT, AST, ALP, TSB, LDH and Albumin), as well as bone markers (Ca, P, PTH and TSH) as marker for the severity of the disease in Non-vaccinated and Vaccinated SARS-COV-2 patients. Between November 2021 and May 2022, 130 sample of both genders (healthy and infected with COVID-19) were obtained, and divided into three major groups: healthy individuals (50), vaccinated (30) and non-vaccinated (50) group" (ages; 20-65). Our findings showed that serum ALT, ALP, LDH, significantly elevated (p < 0.01), and despite comparing patients who were not vaccinated to those who were, serum albumin considerably dropped. Moreover, serum AST and TSB moderately elevated in unvaccinated group in comparison to unvaccinated patients. Regarding bone markers, Ca and P, slightly decreased in non-vaccinated and vaccinated patients compare to healthy control group. Whereas the serum PTH and TSH significantly less in both patient groups than in control. “The optimal cut-off values for liver parameters and bone markers were determined by ROC Curve Analysis. In conclusion, vaccine plays major role in minimizing liver biomarkers in COVID-19 patients. Moreover, low concentrations of serum bone markers were associated with both vaccinated and non-vaccinated COVID-19 patients. Therefore, the bone health status of COVID patients and liver markers are helpful for the diagnosis and monitoring of disease severity in COVID‐19 patient
Comparative Study of the Middle Eastern Vernacular Courtyard Houses Based on the Biophilic Design Patterns
No full textThe Biophilia hypothesis posits that a connection to nature is an innate human desire. By creating architecture that is an extension of nature, this desire will be satisfied, and consequently, it will positively affect mental and physical health. Along with identifying pertinent biophilic design strategies, the study aims to reexamine the Middle Eastern vernacular courtyard houses from a biophilic perspective in addition to comprehending the significance of sociocultural elements and the physical environment in the presence of the patterns of biophilic design in domestic architecture. The qualitative Comparative Analysis method is adopted. Three case studies of three distinct vernacular courtyard houses from different cities—Baghdad, Damascus, and Mardin—are re-examined. Data from reported studies that have been conducted to survey the architectural elements of the traditional houses of the selected cities are used to achieve the study. The study revealed that the Middle Eastern Vernacular Courtyard Houses are biophilic structures that use a variety of strategies to be in close proximity to nature, which had an impact in determining the final form of each dwelling. The biophilic strategies vary according to the particulars of different cities' local contexts. The study also shows the role of climate, geographical location, and sociocultural factors in the presence of biophilic design patterns and in identifying relevant strategies
Single and Double Stub Tuner Impedance Matching of Microwave Circuits Using Mathcad Software
No full textIn this paper impedance matching, using tuning stubs of different types and forms are designed and analyzed using Mathcad Software. The aim of this paper is impedance matching which is to connect an arbitrary complex-valued load impedance to a source with a given resistive internal impedance (Intrinsic Impedance Zo) without causing input reflection and to ensure transfer of maximum power from source to load (ZL). Smith chart is designed in this paper with a Mathcad software. This tool is considered as a very powerful tool to show the results on Smith chart. Single and double stub tuners are designed and analyzed with examples. The designed software is used in this paper for different cases, such as single stub and double stub tuners (open-ended and short-ended) for matching capacitive and inductive loads. The software designed in this paper is useful for designers working in this field as well as in education process
