Salman [email protected]<p>The oxidation resistance of the austenitic alloy AISI 304 was studied, after being coated by cementing with aluminum at a high temperature of 900°C, because the alloy is used industrially, and in very harsh environmental conditions such as sulfur and oxidation. A light microscope was used in the research, to study the structural composition of the alloy, In its three phases, X-ray diffraction was used to determine the phases.In addition to measuring the hardness, the results proved that the coated alloy gave a high oxidation resistance of about 75% of the base alloy, while the corrosion resistance increased by 100% after treating it to the same degree.</p>2025-08-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 College of Basic Education Research Journalhttps://stats.uomosul.edu.iq/index.php/berj/article/view/51296Concerns of Regular Teachers Regarding the Inclusion of Students with Special Needs in Basic Schools in the Center of Duhok Governorate 2025-10-18T18:35:56+00:00Sazan Farman Abdi[email protected]Halat Mohammed Naaman[email protected]<p>This research aims to study the range of concerns regular teachers have concerning the inclusion of students with special needs in basic schools within the center of Duhok Governorate. It also seeks to reveal statistical differences in these concerns based on gender and years of service. The researcher accepted a descriptive method for the study, and the sample was selected randomly, focusing on regular teachers working in basic schools in the center of Duhok Governorate during the academic year (2023-2024). The research community contained of 8,173 male and female teachers, from which 105 were selected as the sample for the study.</p> <p>To meet the research objectives, the teachers' concerns scale created by Sharma and Desai, which comprises 24 items, was applied. To approve the rationality of the research instrument, both its apparent validity and translation validity were assessed, and its dependability was measured using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.</p> <p>The data were statistically processed using arithmetic averages, t-tests for one and two independent samples, one-way analysis of variance, and Cronbach's alpha. The consequences designated that regular teachers have certain concerns about the inclusion of individuals with special needs in basic schools, with male teachers expressing greater concerns than their female counterparts. Conversely, the findings did not reveal significant differences in the level of worries between new and experienced teachers, suggesting that these concerns are not necessarily linked to the number of years of experience related to the integration process.</p>2025-08-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 College of Basic Education Research Journalhttps://stats.uomosul.edu.iq/index.php/berj/article/view/51294Content analysis of the Life and Family Skills book for the first grade of primary school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in light of the theory of multiple intelligences 2025-10-18T18:07:21+00:00Hania Mounir Mustafa Al-Shanwani[email protected]<p>The current research aims to identify the availability of multiple intelligences in the Life and Family Skills book for the first grade of primary school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To achieve this, the researcher prepared a list of indicators of multiple intelligences in light of Gardner's theory, which should be available to first grade students. Using the descriptive analytical approach with content analysis, the results showed that the following intelligences: linguistic, logical, visual, physical, social, personal, naturalistic, and existential are available at a low degree, and the availability rate was limited to (0.03%, 31%), while musical intelligence was not available in the Life and Family Skills book. The reason for this may be due to the nature of the scientific material and its focus on a group of skills practiced in the child's life, especially in his early years, and these are related to language, numbers, enumeration, different places, and interaction with others. There is agreement in the results of the content analysis of the Life and Family Skills book according to the first and second semesters in eight intelligences at a rate of (89%), which means no difference in the degree of availability. The difference was in logical/mathematical intelligence, where the availability level was very low in the first semester at (19%), and low in the second semester at (30%). These results emphasize the need to review the intelligence skills and activities in the book in general and to add many activities necessary for the child at this age.</p>2025-08-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 College of Basic Education Research Journalhttps://stats.uomosul.edu.iq/index.php/berj/article/view/51293The Turkish position on the Serbian war on Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995)2025-10-18T17:14:04+00:00Zaid Mahmoud Hilal Anaaz[email protected]Naseeba Abdul Aziz Abdullah[email protected]<p>Turkey contributed efforts on several levels to stop the war, whether on the diplomatic or military level, providing humanitarian aid, establishing demilitarized zones, issuing resolutions through the UN Security Council, and finally establishing an international court concerned with prosecuting war criminals who participated in that war, Turkey also had a clear role through the United Nations and the international community.

Fertilizers were broadcast on 21/1/2018, and the seeds were harvested starting from 2/6/2018. The percentage of active essential oils was estimated using a Soxhlet apparatus, with two types of organic solvents—petroleum ether and ethyl alcohol—employed.

Through it, divine mercy and blessings descend upon the one who prays for him. A Muslim earns the reward of obeying Allah and follows the example of Allah and His angels in sending blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH). Allah Almighty has commanded us to do so, as He says:"Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and greet him with peace." (Al-Ahzab: 56) Sending blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) is an act of honoring him, completing one's faith, increasing good deeds, and erasing sins. For this reason, I wanted to collect and study the benefits and rewards of invoking blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH), as mentioned by some well-versed scholars. I have also added some subtle reflections, hoping that Allah may have mercy on me and grant me the intercession of our beloved Prophet (PBUH).</p>2025-08-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 College of Basic Education Research Journalhttps://stats.uomosul.edu.iq/index.php/berj/article/view/51288The semi-sentence "connection of the connective" in Al-Mutanabbi's poetry - a grammatical-semantic study -2025-10-18T13:02:02+00:00Mohammed Mahmood Saeed[email protected]Nizar Mousa Darweesh[email protected]<p> The research deals with the study of one of the expressive forms of the connected link, which is (semi-sentence) with its components (preposition, prepositional phrase, and adverb), to find out the nature of this expression with Al-Mutanabbi poetry, and the function provided by the text, and the effectiveness of the semi-sentence in achieving the appropriate evidence, and we have chosen from each kind of the characters or from the adverbs verse; The first is for the preposition and the prepositional phrase, and the second: for the semi-sentence, and we have preceded them with a preface in which we explain the concept of the connected link, its classifications, and the nature of the allocation of the connected semi-sentence, and its conditions for use, and the resources on which we relied were the explanations of the Diwan, linguistic dictionaries, grammar books, interpretation, rhetoric, and Allah is the supporter .</p>2025-08-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2025 College of Basic Education Research Journalhttps://stats.uomosul.edu.iq/index.php/berj/article/view/51286Israel's role in the US invasion and occupation of Iraq in 20032025-10-18T11:44:09+00:00Mohammd Salim Ahmed AL-Kawaz[email protected]<p><strong>The political decision-makers in Israel, in accordance with their aggressive policies, did everything in their power to incite and pressure within the corridors of the American administration to develop war plans according to timings that are consistent with the new Middle East roadmap that was born from within Israel as constants that are consistent with </strong><strong>The shared interests of Zionist Jews and the neoconservatives in the US administration against Iraq under the pretext of protecting the security and stability of the so-called State of Israel, its government and people.

To identify the relationship between psychological resilience and coping strategies for stress.</p> <p>The research focused on special education teachers in schools with special education classes in the city of Mosul for the academic year 2024-2025. The sample consisted of 120 teachers, with 50 male teachers and 70 female teachers, representing 32% of the original population of 378 teachers. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher used a psychological resilience scale and a stress coping strategies scale developed by the researcher, ensuring the application of their psychometric indicators and characteristics. After statistical processing, it became clear that special education teachers have a good level of psychological resilience, and they also exhibit a good rate of using coping strategies. Regarding the relationship between the two variables, the results showed a positive correlation, which aligns with the idea that an increase in psychological resilience leads to an increase in the level of coping strategies.
