Prevalence of Anemia, Iron Deficiency Anemia and its Socio-Demographic Factors among Pregnant Women in Garmian Province, Kurdistan region of Iraq
No full textAnemia is the most common hematologic abnormality in pregnancy. Maternal anemia is associated with adverse fetal, neonatal, and childhood outcomes. This study aims to determine the prevalence of anemia, and iron deficiency anemia (IDA), the severity of the condition, and study the effect of some socio-demographic factors on pregnant women in Garmian province. The study was conducted among 157 pregnant women in Garmian province between 17 and 49 years old. Participants completed a questionnaire that included sociodemographic characteristics, disease, and gestational age. A hematological evaluation, including a complete blood count (CBC) and serum for ferritin testing. Results of this study have shown that the prevalence of anemia and IDA were 34.4% and 15.3%, respectively. Almost three-quarters of the pregnant women had mild anemia, while 31 % of the subjects had moderate anemia, and about 60% of the participants were diagnosed with normocytic anemia. The second trimester had the highest prevalence, with 51.9% for the anemic and 45.8% for IDA subjects, while the first trimester showed the lowest prevalence, with 14.8 % for anemic and 12.5% for IDA subjects. Age, occupation, gravidity with anemia, and iron deficiency anemia did not make a significant difference. Moreover, there was no significant difference in blood indices between anemic and IDA participants. The serum ferritin level was unaffected by the pregnancy trimesters
Employee Perception of Ethical Corporate Social Responsibility on Organizational Performance: The Role of Intellectual Capital, and Employees’ Innovative Work Behavior
No full textThis study's purpose is to find out how perceived ethical corporate social responsibility (ECSR) and organisational performance are related, specifically through the use of employees’ innovative work behaviour (IWB) as a mediating mechanism that is conditional (i.e., moderator) upon intellectual capital. Employees in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq's services industry, such as those working for hotels, banks, real estate, and property organisations, were given questionnaires through a simple random sample approach. The final sample used for the study had 172 responses, and the achieved response rate was 78.2 percent. The research showed that workers’ IWB mediates the association between perceived ECSR and organisational performance. The outcomes also lend credibility to the argument that ECSR interacts with the intellectual capital to influence employees’ IWB, which impacts organisational performance. This paper is one of the few studies examining the effects of ECSR, intellectual capital, and employees’ IWB on organisational performance

The Portrayal of Science and Religion in James Hilton’s Lost Horizon and Walter Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz
No full textIn their fictional works, James Hilton and Walter Miller draw the readers’ attention to the negative impacts of scientific and technological developments on human civilization and the environment. They portray that Science and technology have become a tool in the hands of world powers for destructing humanity and the natural world. In James Hilton’s Lost Horizon and Walter Miller’s A Canticle for Leibowitz, science and technology are seen accountable for the nuclear wars that caused the annihilation of humanity and the natural world. The novels proclaim that scientists and educated people are a part of nowadays' problems as they are misrepresented by politicians. Thus, in Miller’s novel a worldwide effort begins to kill the scientists and burn all the books and other materials containing scientific knowledge. Nevertheless, a group of monks and religious men preserve the relics of the world’s scientific knowledge in the hope that one day humankind will be ready to use them decently. Moreover, both novels portray religion as an emblem of peace, rebirth, and survival of humanity; it helps science and humanity to recover and survive. This article discusses the role of science and religion as depicted in Lost Horizon and A Canticle for Leibowitz
Building an Efficient Model by Using Panel Data
No full textThe panel data models have gained great attention because they consider the effect of changing time series and the cross-sectional units. It has a higher number of degrees of freedom and is, therefore, more efficient. Our research aims to build the most efficient model using panel data through comparison among six statistical models and to determine the most efficient model through the mean squares of error (RMSE) and the coefficient of determination (R2). Using the EViews-12 package to apply to two data sets to determine the most efficient model. The more critical findings are that the hypothesis assumed by the research states that the accuracy of the adopted models varies. Furthermore, it was found by building six types of panel data models that the best model is the (Two-way Fixed Effect Model) because it achieves the lowest value of (RMSE) and the largest value of R2
Role of IFRS 9 in Banks to Reduce the Negative Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic
No full textأثر انتشار جائحة COVID-19 في بداية هذا العام بشكل كبير على سياسات الإئتمان والتمويل المصرفي، مما دفع مجلس معايير المحاسبة المالية (FASB) إلى إصدار وثيقة تدعم تنفيذ المعيار الدولي للإبلاغ المالي رقم (9) في ضوء حالة عدم اليقين الحالية الناتجة من هذه الجائحة، ويتطلب المعيار الدولي للإبلاغ المالي رقم (9) تطبيق الأحكام ويطلب ويسمح للوحدات الإقتصادية بتعديل نهجها لتحديد خسائر الإئتمان المتوقعة في ظروف مختلفة وقد لا يكون هناك عدد من الإفتراضات والروابط المتأصلة في الطريقة التي يتم بها تنفيذ قوائم خسائر الإئتمان حتى الأن في البيئة الحالية، وتهدف هذه الدراسة إلى التحقيق في تطبيق المعيار الدولي للإبلاغ المالي رقم (9) في المصارف أثناء أزمة جائحة COVID-19 من خلال دراسة تأثير الأزمة المالية الناتجة عن تفشي الجائحة في العالم على تقديرات الخسائر الإئتمانية المتوقعة في القطاع المصرفي، ولقد توصل الباحثون الى العديد من الاستنتاجات كان أهمها أنه على الرغم من أن الظروف الحالية صعبة وتخلق مستويات عالية من عدم اليقين في ظل جائحة COVID-19، ولكن إذا كانت تقديرات الخسائر الإئتمانية المتوقعة مبنية على معلومات معقولة وداعمة ولم يتم تطبيق المعيار الدولي للإبلاغ المالي رقم (9) آلياً فيمكن تقديم معلومات مفيدة حول الخسائر الإئتمانية المتوقعة، وفي الواقع في البيئة الحالية يمكن أن يوفر المعيار الدولي للإبلاغ المالي رقم (9) والإفصاحات المرتبطة به الشفافية المطلوبة بشدة لمستخدمي البيانات المالية.The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of this year had a significant impact on credit and bank financing policies, which prompted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to issue a document supporting the implementation of IFRS 9 in light of the current uncertainty resulting from this pandemic. IFRS 9 requires the application of provisions and requires and allows economic units to modify their approach to determining expected credit losses (ECL) in different circumstances and there may not be a number of assumptions and correlations inherent in the way credit loss statements are implemented so far in the current environment. This study aims to investigate the application of IFRS 9 in banks during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis by studying the impact of the financial crisis resulting from the outbreak of the pandemic in the world on estimates of ECL in the banking sector, and the researchers reached many conclusions. The most important was that although the current conditions are difficult and create high levels of uncertainty in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, but if the ECL estimates are based on reliable information Reasonable and supportive IFRS 9 has not been applied automatically so it can provide useful information about ECL, and in fact in the current environment IFRS 9 and its related disclosures can provide much needed transparency to users of financial statements

Physical and Mechanical Properties of an Artificial Aggregate Made up of Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag
No full textManufacturing artificial aggregate by utilizing waste materials has gained great importance as the aggregate occupies a high volume in concrete (60–70%). In this paper, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is utilized in aggregate manufacturing. Cold bonding and sintering methods were used as production processes. The pellets were put through a series of tests like dry density, specific gravity, water absorption, and crushing strength. The results indicated that the density of pellets increased by increasing the GGBFS dosage while the water absorption capacity was reduced. Furthermore, the highest crushed strength was recorded at 50% addition of GGBFS
