Poetry and the Wounded Self: A Stylistic Analysis of Hassan Al-Marwani's Poem "I and Laila" at its Linguistic and Semantic Levels

Wrya Naji Abdulla — 2026-07-14

This study seeks to analyze the poem "Ana wa Laila" (I and Laila) by the Iraqi poet Hassan Al-Marwani from a stylistic perspective that emphasizes linguistic structure and emotional significance. This approach attempts to uncover the organic relationship between poetic expression and the experience of the wounded self, which forms the core of the poem. The research relies on a multi-level approach, encompassing grammatical structure, phonetics, poetic imagery, and linguistic shifts, as tools that contribute to constructing meaning and generating emotion. The study also seeks to highlight the impact of style in deepening the poetic experience and to clarify how personal pain is transformed into an aesthetic poetic discourse that manifests the expressive potential of language, intertwining the private and the general. The study adopts a stylistic approach, both linguistic and semantic, drawing on contemporary theoretical concepts in the analysis of poetic texts. It concludes that the linguistic structure in a poem is not merely a means of communication, but rather an integrated expressive entity that reflects the depth of experience and the brokenness of the self. Furthermore, the study demonstrates how the harmony between the various stylistic elements enhances the impact of the poem on the recipient, transforming the text into a comprehensive poetic experience that arouses empathy and emotion. The results also confirm that the poetic style in "Me and Laila" is not merely a means of expression, but rather the essence that weaves the text and gives it a profound human dimension.

The Role of the International Monetary Fund in the Development of Developing Islamic Countries with a Focus on the Iraqi Case

Ibrahim Mahdi Arif — 2026-07-15

This study analyzes the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as a global economic organization, in the Iraqi economy (2005–2025) by examining growth, inflation, public debt, and transparency, assessing the experience from an Islamic economics perspective. Using an analytical and comparative approach with official data and literature, the study finds that IMF interventions partially controlled inflation and provided short-term stability, but had limited impact on long-term growth and sustainable development. Public debt and reliance on oil highlight Iraq’s economic fragility, and governance and transparency saw little improvement. From an Islamic perspective, interest-based IMF loans foster dependency and conflict with Sharia objectives. The study concludes that IMF experiences in developing Islamic countries, including Iraq, have largely failed to promote sustainable development, suggesting the need for Islamic financing and greater economic integration.

Rewriting Heroism: Ethics of Care, Magical Literacy, and Intersectional Resistance in Nix’s Lirael and Clare’s City of Bones

Aso Mohammed Agha — 2026-07-16

Within present-day debates on feminist Re-conceptualizations of heroism in young adult fantasy, Nix’s Lirael and Clare’s City of Bones foreground care, relationality, and narrative praxis as resistance. Focusing on the intersections of magical technique and ethical orientation, the study reveals the ways in which practices of magical literacy and care transform inherited heroic paradigms and thus reconstruct feminine modes of heroism. Lirael and Clary Fray resist socially constructed, and institutionally sanctioned, forms of resistance in favor of emotional endurance, self-authorship, and united means of action that problematize masculinist tropes of conquest. Their magical techniques—archiving and rune-writing—are sorts of feminist revisions of subjectivity and social order, sharing affinities with Cixous's écriture féminine and Spivak's perspective of strategic resistance. From an intersectional feminist perspective (Gilligan and Crenshaw), they emerge as initiatory figures that shift the concept of heroism into care, relational ethics, and narrative repair, thus disturbing heroic absolutism. The argument further suggests the inadequate considerations of racialized and disabled identities in the texts, hinting that Okorafor and McLemore could serve as useful comparisons. Finally, Lirael and Clary impart a fledgling grammar of heroism that emphasizes emotional sovereignty; healing magic, memory, and story enforce interdependence over domination.

Avesta Kamal Mahmood — 2026-07-21

This Research, entitled "Cognitive Metapragmatic Awareness in the Kurdish
Language" aims to investigate the relationship between cognitive
metapragmatic awareness (the ability to use language pragmatically in an
appropriate manner) and the Kurdish language, exploring how Kurdish
culture and language serve as a strong foundation that influences pragmatic
styles of speaking and understanding .
The study adopts a multidimensional analysis. First, it discusses cognitive
metapragmatic awareness. Then, through the analysis of authentic
examples from the Kurdish language, it demonstrates the reality that Kurdish
language users employ their language with metapragmatic awareness to
comprehend and analyze the intentions and meanings that exist. This is
achieved through analyzing the relationship between cognitive
metapragmatic awareness and (Kurdish culture, shared knowledge and
common ground, phonemes and words of the Kurdish language, sentences
and sentence structure). This shows how consciously Kurdish speakers use
their language according to conversation participants and social contexts. It
also reveals how Kurdish culture and language influence the development
and advancement of metapragmatic awareness, and in turn, demonstrates
the role and importance of awareness in the appropriate use of language .

Geographical Analysis of the Distribution of Public Parks in Sulaimani City (2024)

Sheni Jalal Hama — 2026-07-23

This study, titled (The Geographical Distribution of Public Parks in the City of Sulaimani), is an attempt to demonstrate how public parks are distributed in the city of Sulaimani. Despite the continuous increase in the city's population and the growing need for a calm atmosphere and more green spaces, the construction of parks in the city's neighborhoods has not been adequate. Public parks are a major factor in purifying the air and the environment of the area, in addition to providing well-being for the residents. To achieve the objectives of our study, we have relied on descriptive, analytical, and field methods, as well as government data.

The study reached several conclusions. The Sarchinar neighborhood has the highest number of parks, with 46 parks. However, the neighborhoods of Hakary, Qalyasan, Hawary Shar, Saywan, Awbara and Ashe Spe, Nergiz, Shorish, Qrga, Srusht, and Pishasazi each have only one park.

The area of parks varies from one neighborhood to another. The largest park area in the study region is in the Sarchinar neighborhood, with an area of 111,804 m², which constitutes 10.47% of the total area of parks. The smallest area is in the Qrga neighborhood, with an area of 361 m², making up 0.03% of the total park area.

The density of the distribution of park areas also varies. The parks with the highest density fall into the area class of (14292-28222) m², which includes 10 parks with a total area of 227863 m², representing 21.3% of the total park area. The parks with the lowest density are in the area class of (83947-97877) m², which includes only one park with an area of 92,600 m², accounting for 8.6% of the total park area.

To make the city of Sulaimani greener, the number of parks should be increased to create a beautiful landscape and a clean environment. Parks should be established in neighborhoods that do not have any, in order to achieve a balanced distribution of parks in the area

Ahmed Aziz Abdulla — 2026-07-26

This study explains the relationship and effect of climatic breed characteristics on the infection of poultry (broiler chickens) with diseases in Kafri district The main question of the research is whether the climate types in Kafri district have an impact and role in the infection of broiler diseases according to the seasons?To answer this question and reach a correct conclusion, the study relies on the use of infection data and recording cases for three years (2022-2024), and climate data for Kafri district (2013-2024). With the use of geographical methods of praise and quantitative analysis and programs (GIS10.5) (SPSS13). The study concluded that climate species have different degrees of influence on poultry diseases, with viral diseases being the most common From the transitional seasons, due to the constant sudden changes in the weather that cause them stress, weaken their immune system and make them susceptible to viral diseases. Statistical evaluation showed that temperature (mean temperature deviation) has the greatest impact on the appearance of viral diseases, reaching (88%). Coccidia is most common in winter due to high humidity and suitable temperature for this disease. Statistical evaluation showed that relative humidity is more effective than other species There is a grade on inflammatory bowel disease and reaches (99%).Bacterial diseases such as respiratory diseases have the highest incidence in both spring and autumn, because these two seasons are generally warmer than both winter and summer The air is changing rapidly, in addition to the temperature difference between day and night, which falls above and below the required temperature. Statistical evaluation showed that gender characteristics of temperature (temperature difference between day and night) is primarily responsible for the incidence of this disease compared to other genders, so that the rate The effectiveness reaches (90%).

Analysis of Geomorphological Slope Characteristics in the Sagrma Mountain Range

Goran Samad MohammedNaqi — 2026-07-27

Slope is a fundamental characteristic in geomorphology, significantly influencing a range of geomorphological factors and processes.[1] This study aims to conduct a quantitative analysis of the primary slope characteristics within the Sagrma mountain range. The study area is a rugged mountain range featuring diverse geomorphological forms, covering an area of 339.7 km² with a length of 52.7 km. It constitutes the topographical boundary between the mountainous and semi-mountainous zones, extending from Darbandi Basara to the village of Barkal. The region's topography varies in elevation from 900 to 1872 meters. The slope gradient, measured according to Young's scale, ranges from 0 to over 45.1 degrees. This topographical variance results in distinct differences in slope properties—including slope degree, aspect (direction), form (shape), and hillshade (solar illumination). Key findings from the analysis indicate that the northern slopes of the range generally possess a lower slope degree compared to the steeper southern slopes. Furthermore, a significant seasonal variation in shaded areas was identified; the area experiencing extensive shading measures 19.6 km² during the summer, increasing to 59.7 km² in the winter.
