Abstract:

The role of social relations in implementing traffic law in Erbil city – a theoretical analytical study.

This research aims to know: the role of social relations in implementing traffic laws, and to identify the pattern of social relations in implementing traffic laws and instructions, as well as to identify the most important direct and indirect factors in social relations in implementing traffic laws in the city of Erbil.

The researcher used the descriptive analytical approach, using the field survey method on a random sample of vehicle drivers in the city of Erbil. The statistical data was collected from the available sources in the Erbil Traffic Directorate.

The researcher reached a number of conclusions that the negative relationships of road users in general and vehicle drivers in particular, have a major and major role in the non-compliance with traffic laws and instructions, and at high rate among young males with interests and influence, as well as the role of the mobile phone as one of the means of social communication in the occurrence of many traffic accidents in the city of Erbil.

Most traffic accidents occur during the day than at night, and in sunny weather for most of the four years from (2020 to 2023), the highest percentage of accidents (%93.36) was in the year (2021), and this attributed to the strength of social relations and the desire of individuals and groups to make these visits to each other.

The percentage and number of traffic accidents on external roads are higher than inside the city, as a result of the dominant social and tribal relations in these districts areas and villages, and their great lack of interest in traffic rules and instructions and their lack of concern for them.

Keywords :( Relations, Social Relations, the Traffic, Traffic Laws, Traffic Accidents).

(التخطيط الاستراتيجي لإعادة تنظيم البيشمركة في بادينان) (فترة ما بين حملة الأنفال 1988 وانتفاضة 1991)

hiyam haji

This research is part of a forthcoming book that examines Kurdish resistance in Badinan after the Anfal campaign, focusing on 1988–1991. During this period, Kurdish regions faced intense military repression and systematic destruction, severely impacting infrastructure and communities, posing significant challenges for the Peshmerga. Despite these conditions, the Peshmerga successfully reorganized using advanced military strategies, including restructuring combat units, relocating headquarters based on security conditions, and strengthening secret communication networks to ensure safe information exchange. Cooperation between the Peshmerga and the Kurdistan Front fostered a collective approach, enhancing operational coordination and resource-sharing to sustain resistance.

With the outbreak of the Second Gulf War in 1990, the weakening of the Iraqi regime due to international sanctions provided the Kurdish resistance with a strategic opportunity. The Kurdistan Front intensified diplomatic efforts with regional and international powers to secure political and military support. Meanwhile, in Badinan, underground organizations were restructured despite strict government surveillance. Kurdish leaders employed sophisticated concealment tactics to maintain secrecy and coordinate with the Peshmerga. The March 1991 uprising marked a crucial turning point, bringing military gains and significant political advancements that reinforced Kurdish national rights within their ongoing struggle

Literature, especially children's literature, leaves a positive impact on raising children, and is a major factor so that the child can express himself and speak correctly. This process reflects the logic of rhetoric and dialogue until it reaches the truth that the child pronounces these things easily and clearly, including: recognizing the meaning of sentences and their gestures and thinking about the philosophy of these gestures and searching for them.

لمحات من ثقافات العصرين الحجري النحاسي وما قبل الكتابة في الجزيرة السورية " تل براك أنموذجا"

عمر شريف, أ. د. نعمان جمعة إبراهيم,

The Syrian Al-Jazeera region is one of the important regions in northern Mesopotamia, rich in its cultural heritage. Many mounds and archaeological sites are distributed across its land, dating back to different civilizational eras, whose archaeological features still remain today and need to be studied and excavated. Among these mounds is Tell Brak, which is one of the largest early urban centers in Western Kurdistan, and an ancient settlement dating back to prehistoric times. The site has gained great importance due to its historical and cultural depth for human civilization. Archaeological discoveries indicate that the site has witnessed cultural practices since the fifth millennium BC, especially the Halaf and Ubaid cultures, and a remarkable progress in the technology and development of stone tools and pottery industries. By the fourth millennium BC, the beginnings of the development of architecture and buildings appeared, as indicated by the discovery of the remains of its building plans and walls. Tell Brak expanded until it became a large city and an important urban center for the interaction of different cultures with the civilizational sites in southern Mesopotamia. These indications point to the important status of Tell Brak and the flourishing of economic and social activities and the crystallization of ideas, beliefs and other cultural practices related to spiritual life since the Chalcolithic and pre-literate eras.

مؤلفات كتبت لسلاطين وملوك الأيوبيين

alulav77 Salem,

The Ayyubid Era was marked by a flourishing of military, political, cultural, and scientific achievements. During their reign, the cities of Egypt, the Levant, and the Arabian Peninsula became vibrant centers of intellectuals and scientific activity. Scholars, thinkers, and historians from various fields gathered in these cities, producing a wealth of literature that reflected the intellectual vigor of the period. Many of these works were dedicated to Ayyubid rulers, often focusing on topics such as politics, medicine, history, and literature. Purposes behind these writings varied significantly among scholars and author: for example, Many scholars aimed to gain the favor of Ayyubid rulers by dedicating their works to them. This often served as a means to secure royal patronage, prestigious positions, or financial rewards, other authors sought to spread their ideas and intellectual contributions. Some writings were directed specifically at offering sultans moral and administrative advice.

‏This study aims to explore these writings in depth, analyzing their themes, purposes, and the extent of royal patronage. Writers often emerged from professions tied to governance, justice, healthcare, poetry, or religion. These individuals not only contributed to the functioning of the state but also held significant cultural and societal influence, as the nation placed great importance on their expertise and contributions. This dynamic reflects the level of civilization and progress.

حبیب مصطفی ابراهیم, پ.ی.د رضوان شریف صالح,

Abstract:

Manus marriage is characterized by the dominance and decision-making of the husband in the relationship between husband and wife within the family. The main purpose of this study is to present and explain the position of customs and traditions in ancient Kurdish society regarding this type of marriage, in a society where patriarchy authority was the mental basis of family formation. For this purpose, this study worked to introduce the nature of the relationship between husband and wife in terms of customs and traditions of a number of villages in the Kurdistan Region, to find out whether manus marriage existed in the 1960s in Kurdistan village society. This research mainly relies on analytical method, and field method. By observing the characteristics of the nature of Manus marriage in terms of male domination, the status of women and their deprivation of property rights in marriage, we found that Manus marriage existed in tribal societies in Kurdistan, which stemmed from patriarchal culture at that time.

Keywords : Marriage, Culture, Power ,Rights, Rituals.
