Surface Web Merits for SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic in Iraq

Background: Data on SARS-CoV-2 from developing countries is not entirely accurate, demanding incorporating digital epidemiology data on the pandemic.
 Objectives: To reconcile non-Bayesian models and artificial intelligence connected with digital and classical (non-digital) epidemiological data on SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Iraq.
 Results: Baghdad and Sulaymaniyah represented statistical outliers in connection with daily cases and recoveries, and daily deaths, respectively. Multivariate tests and neural networks detected a predictor effect of deaths, recoveries, and daily cases on web searches concerning two search terms, "كورونا" and "Coronavirus" (Pillai's Trace value=1, F=1106915.624, Hypothesis df=3, Error df=12, p-value<0.001, Partial Eta Squared=1). Using hierarchical clustering, we identified distinctive aggregates involving the Iraqi capital, Kurdistan region, and the south of Iraq. Three search terms were most prevalent among Iraqi web users, including "كورونا", "كوفيد-19", and "Coronavirus". Significant bivariate correlations were all positive except for those involving the search term "لقاح كورونا". Al-Muthanna governorate residents were least interested in data on SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.Methods: Our study design is longitudinal, for the period from 24 February 2020 to 25 September 2020. We retrieved data from the Iraqi Ministry of Health on the daily cases, recoveries, and deaths from SARS-CoV-2, and incorporated collateral data from Google Trends using five search terms, "Coronavirus", "كورونا", "COVID-19", "كوفيد-19", and "لقاح كورونا". The search terms "كورونا", "كوفيد-19", and "لقاح كورونا" represent the Arabic translations for "Coronavirus", "COVID-19", and "COVID-19 Vaccine". We implemented multivariate tests and machine learning to scrutinize the spatio-temporal trends of the pandemic in Iraq and interpret the causality influencing Iraqis to seek digital knowledge, via the web, on SARS-CoV-2.
 Conclusion: Our analyses were triumphant in syncretizing non-Bayesian and machine learning models, using two forms of epidemiology data on the pandemic in Iraq. We opine that the current study is exquisite and precious for decision-makers at the Iraqi Ministry of Health.

Emotion Management: Life Orientation and Emotion Regulation in Female Deaf Students

Emotion regulation and life orientation are very important in daily life. The present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of emotion management strategies program in life orientation and cognitive emotion regulation in female deaf students. The participants were 34 female deaf students aged between 15 and 19 years selected by random cluster sampling. First, two schools were randomly selected from deaf schools in Kohkiloye and Boyer Ahmad, Iran (Shaghayegh and Nastaran Deaf Schools). The participants were then selected from these schools and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, each comprising 17 students. The experimental group received the emotion management strategies program for eight sessions, and each session lasted 50 min, while the control group was on the waiting list. The data were collected by the Life Orientation Test (LOT) and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). The findings demonstrated that the intervention significantly influenced life orientation and cognitive emotion regulation in deaf students (p < 0.001). The eta square value showed that 68% of the change in life orientation, 51% of the change in non-adaptive strategies, and 53% of the adaptive strategies change were due to the intervention. The findings highlight the importance of emotion management strategies for positive orientation and emotion regulation in deaf students. This study suggests that emotion management strategies are essential for deaf students because such strategies foster positive attitudes.

Pregnant women should keep in mind their health and lifestyle considerations or else pregnancy will end up with many complications. Pre-existing factors and pregnancy factors will be contributing and make pregnancy more complicated. Exercises are recommended as a healthy practice which prevents many diseases and provides a healthy life. Aim: To evaluate the glycaemic level by focusing on exercises to improve the maternal outcome. Materials and Methods: A Pilot study with Quasi-experimental pre-post control group design with 30 Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) women (15 in each group) were selected who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study was conducted in tertiary care Hospital between June 2019 and December 2019. Based on the convenience sampling technique, the setting was selected and a simple random technique was adopted to select the subjects. The 15 subjects were included in each groups, both intervention and control group. Exercises were taught for the interventional group of women for 12 weeks. Regular treatment was continued for both groups which include medication, diet and regular walking. Pre-test and post-test glycaemic scores were done for both the groups. Mann-whitney test, ANOVA, post-hoc test, paired Eta square were also used and IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 was used. Results: The study shows there was a significant difference in the pre-Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and post FBS values in the intervention group p-value &lt;0.027. The paired Eta square value was 0.303 which showed a moderate effect of the exercise on the glycaemic value in the interventional group. There was a significant difference in the pre glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and post HbA1c values in both the intervention and control group was p-value &lt;0.023 and p-value &lt;0.025, respectively. The maternal outcome shows increased severity of the complications in the control group while comparing with the intervention group such as pre-eclampsia, operative interference, and preterm deliveries. But there was no significant difference in the maternal outcome observed between intervention and control group p-value &gt;0.05. Conclusion: Regular moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance exercise training during pregnancy is associated with lower blood glucose level. Thus, study concluded that exercise has a moderate effect on glycaemic control.

Does capital structure affect the differences in the financial performance of small enterprises?

Capital structure refers to the combination of debt and equity that the company uses to finance overall operations and growth. One of the most common problems of small enterprises is difficult access to various sources of financing, which is certainly reflected in their capital structure. Deciding on capital structure is one of the most important activities in the company, given that it significantly determines the performance of the company, but also the competitiveness and sustainability of the business. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there is a significant difference in financial performance between enterprises belonging to different leverage levels. Financial leverage was calculated by dividing total debts to total assets and based on leverage the companies are divided into 3 groups. Using ANOVA analysis, we found that the only difference in financial performance indicators was observed with NPM (but with a small effect size: eta square = 0.0470), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in the ROE and ROA indicators.

Using mobile applications for self-directed learning of academic vocabulary among university students

ABSTRACT The current study investigated the contribution of a mobile application for self-directed and autonomous learning of academic vocabulary among English as a Foreign language (EFL) university students. Furthermore, we examined the long-term impacts of mobile-assisted vocabulary learning, by using a pre-, post-, and delayed post-test design. The participants were 38 third- and fourth-year university students in experimental (N = 20) and control (N = 18) groups, selected based on convenience sampling procedures. During a semester, students in the experimental group used a mobile application (i.e. AWL builder), while the control group used traditional materials. The participants’ receptive vocabulary knowledge was tested three times. The findings revealed that both groups improved their vocabulary knowledge (Sig. < 0.000). Nonetheless, the participants in the experimental group attained better results in both post- and delayed post-test, and the observed mean differences were statistically significant (Sig. < 0.000, Partial Eta Squared = 0.356). Moreover, a significant effect for time was found for mobile-assisted vocabulary learning (Sig. < 0.000, Partial Eta Squared = 0.907). The results highlight the potential offered by mobile applications for self-directed learning of academic vocabulary and promise implications for EFL vocabulary learning.

Saudi University Students’ Perceptions of Service Quality in Higher Education

Higher education institutions (HEIs), like any other organizations, consider the customer experience to be an intrinsic component of their strategic plans, decision-making processes, and development. In the higher education (HE) context, the students are the customers and demand high service quality to inform their decisions. This article evaluates the perception of quality of service (QoS) in a HE setting from the perspective of students studying at King Khalid University (KKU) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A modified service quality (SERVQUAL) instrument is used to measure five constructs: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The research also assesses whether there is a connection between the participants&amp;rsquo; responses and key demographic variables. Permission was granted to distribute 500 questionnaires to all the students in the selected college. Of these, 350 questionnaires were returned, and 298 were deemed useful. The data collected to assess perceptions of QoS was analyzed using SPSS, a t-test, and a cutoff point (3.4). The table of variance analysis and ETA square identified relationships between the participants&amp;rsquo; answers and the demographic variables. Evaluation of all the services was lower than predicted. The highest rated construct was assurance with mean (3.0116), responsiveness with mean (2.8465), tangibles with mean (2.7843), reliability with mean (2.6914), and empathy with mean (2.5558). There were statistically significant differences found in the students&amp;rsquo; evaluation for the first dimension (tangibles) associated with gender difference, with the average evaluation by male students being (2.9532), and the average evaluation by female students (2.6685); otherwise demographic characteristics had no statistically significant influence on students&amp;rsquo; evaluations.

Dev. = 1.382) and that of the post intervention (Mean =4.786, Std. Dev. = 1.829) [t = 6.382, df = 13, p = 0.001]. The eta square analysis was 89 percent (η2 = 0.89) indicating a significant impact of positive reinforcement on modifying pupils’ behaviour of absenteeism. Analysis of the questionnaire revealed that 80% of the pupils became regular at school as a result of the application of positive reinforcement.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It was recommended that the government through the District Assemblies should offer financial assistance to poor parents and single parents to enable them adequately cater for their children at school.

The Effectiveness of New Inquiry-Based Learning (NIBL) for Improving Multiple Higher-Order Thinking Skills (M-HOTS) of Prospective Chemistry Teachers

&lt;p style="text-align:justify"&gt;New Inquiry-Based Learning (NIBL) was developed to improve students’ multiple higher-order thinking skills (MHOTS), such as thinking critically, analytically, creatively, and practically (CACP). This study aimed to examine the increase of students’ MHOTS ability, their perceptions of the NIBL model, and the contribution of the NIBL model to the learning outcomes. A quasi-experiment of the nonequivalent control group design was implemented in this study. Research subjects were university students majoring in chemistry education and enrolling in the Organic Chemistry course. The experiment and the control groups consisted of 34 and 32 students, respectively. The collected data were analyzed by using t-test and ANCOVA procedures. N-Gain scores were calculated to measure the differences in the increase in learning outcomes. Eta square values measured the contribution of NIBL. The results of this study revealed that there were differences in the learning outcomes of the experiment and control group. The CACP thinking skills and the mastery of organic chemistry concepts of the experiment group increased significantly. The N-Gain scores of practical thinking skills aspect were on medium category, and for critical, analytical, and creative thinking, as well as for mastery of organic chemistry concepts were on high categories. For the control group, the N-Gain scores of all categories were on low or medium categories. The NIBL model effectively improved the prospective chemistry teachers’ M-HOTS in terms of CACP thinking skills and contributed significantly to the increase in the students’ mastery of organic chemistry concepts.&lt;/p&gt;

Data included: year of training (PGY), location, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, children, duty hours. Mean level differences in BDI-PC, FSFI and BISF-M levels for between-people variables such as gender, day/night shifts and children were inspected via ANOVA; correlations between depression and sexual functioning were investigated. Responding rate 49%. Mean age 30.4 (SD 2.2), 83% M, 86% F had stable relationship, 33% engaged to a colleague, 6% had children. 97% heterosexual, 2% bisexual, 1% homosexual. 19% F reported FSFI total score < 26, indicating a possible sexual dysfunction. 33% F, 11% M had a BMI-PC >3, indicating a mild to severe depression level. 64% did night shifts, ANOVAs revealed a significant interaction effect (p < 0.05, eta square =.06) between sexual function and night shifts on BDI-PC levels; F with night shifts reaching a critical mean BDI-PC score of 4.21. Higher BDI scores were associated with lower FSFI Arousal (p< 0.001), higher FSFI Dyspareunia (p< 0.05), lower FSFI total scores (p< 0.05). No correlations between BDI-PC and BISF-M or between sexual satisfaction and PGY, stable relationship and workload.
