This battle demonstrated the true measure of the strength of Islam and marked an important turning point in the history of the Islamic call. The victory at Badr had a profound moral impact, as it put an end to hostile threats and instilled great confidence in the Muslims regarding their faith and capabilities. This confidence enabled the Prophet Muhammad to make timely and appropriate decisions.The Battle of Badr was not merely a military confrontation; it embodied justice and humanity. The Prophet adopted a humane approach in dealing with war captives, urging the noble companions to honor them. He accepted ransom from some prisoners, and for those unable to pay, he allowed them to teach ten Muslim children how to read and write. This decision not only showcased mercy but also contributed to the spread of education and the strengthening of ties between Muslims and the captives, thereby fostering a cohesive Islamic community.The Battle of Badr represents a landmark in Islamic history, where Muslims were able to affirm their strength and ability to confront their enemies. Through this battle, they transitioned from a state of weakness to one of strength, contributing to the formation of a robust and unified Islamic society. Furthermore, this battle reinforced values of cooperation and solidarity among Muslims, demonstrating their willingness to defend their faith. The lessons learned from the Battle of Badr continue to hold significant relevance in understanding how to face challenges through faith and collective action. Thus, the Battle of Badr remains a symbol of strength and compassion in Islamic history</p> Ali Saadoun Hamada Saleh Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 1 20 The school’s role in building intellectual capital challenges and opportunities An analytical theory stud https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1972 <div class="mb-4"> <div class="abstract-content">The current research aims to study the school in building intellectual capital. Building intellectual capital in schools refers to developing the skills and knowledge of students and teachers alike. Schools play a significant role in this area by promoting critical thinking and creativity, through providing advanced and diverse educational programs.Schools contribute to shaping intellectual capabilities through an educational environment that encourages innovation and problem solving, which provides students with the necessary skills to face future challenges. Despite this important contribution, schools face several challenges that may hinder the effectiveness of this role, including a lack of material resources, insufficient training for teachers, and difficulties in applying modern educational methods that may be unavailable or inappropriate for some educational contexts. However, there are opportunities that can be exploited to improve the current situation and enhance the building of intellectual capital. The use of modern technology can play a significant role in improving the learning experience, as it provides various educational tools and resources that enhance interaction and innovation. Partnerships with academic and industrial institutions can provide schools with opportunities to provide advanced educational experiences and enhance practical skills among students. In addition, developing intensive training programs for teachers is an essential step to improving the quality of education. Training teachers on the latest educational methods and skills can contribute significantly to raising the level of education and enhancing the ability to face educational challenges.Thus, by balancing thoughtful strategies, adapting to challenges, and exploiting available opportunities, schools can play a pivotal role in preparing a generation capable of facing future challenges efficiently and creatively.The researcher reached several conclusions, including (intellectual capital provides the basis for improving curricula and teaching, which leads to better educational outcomes. In addition, intellectual capital helps motivate students and teachers to think creatively and develop new skills).The research concluded with a set of recommendations and proposals, including:The Ministry of Education should equip classrooms with modern tools and technologies that support innovative teaching methods, and create an educational environment that encourages group discussions, group work, and project-based learning.Organize regular training courses to provide teachers with the latest educational methods and technologies and support initiatives to exchange experiences and knowledge among teachers in different schools.The researcher suggested the following:Study intellectual capital and its relationship to critical thinking.Study intellectual capital and its impact on job performance</div> </div> <div class="keywords-section"> <h4 class="h6 fw-bold text-primary mb-3">&nbsp;</h4> </div> Hoda Kazem Hassan Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 21 44 Investigation and Non-Standard (Dialectal) Mitigation in Linguistic Dictionaries https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1974 <p>Dialectal phenomena constitute a rich material and a distinctive section in language books, especially linguistic dictionaries that meticulously examine these phenomena through scrutiny and analysis. This has provided researchers with numerous fields for study and investigation. Among the most prominent phenomena observed among Arab tribes is related to the hamzah (glottal stop), including its facilitation and confirmation, among others. In this context, the research will focus on a non-standard dialectal phenomenon, namely the confirmation and non-confirmation of the hamzah in the dialect of certain Arabs. Before presenting examples, it is essential to clarify some concepts that underpin the research, summarized as follows:</p> <ul> <li class="show">The phenomenon of dialectal confirmation and its absence (non-standard) is considered more beneficial than the standard; it leads to a change in meaning and consequently enriches the Arabic dictionary with diverse linguistic material, contributing to its enrichment and expansion.</li> <li class="show">The change in meaning due to the different readings of the term (بادي) and (بادئ) confirms that this instance falls under non-standard dialectal change.</li> <li class="show">Among the scholars most concerned with the phenomenon of non-standard dialectal change of the hamzah is Al-Farraa, possibly due to his linguistic affiliation, as Kufa relies on the spoken language of the Arabs and gives it significant attention.</li> </ul> <p>The non-standard dialectal change of the hamzah shares with the standard the issue of phonetic variation of the word in terms of vowel lengthening or shortening; there is a difference in the phonetic writing of the hamzah word compared to the non-hamzah word</p> Majda Ali Youssef Al-Ankoushi Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 45 58 The effect of the strategies of Adel (I.D.E.A.L) and Rip (R.E.A.P)) on the achievement of biology and systematic thinking among second-year middle school students https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1975 <p>The research aimed to identify the effect of the strategies Adel (I.D.E.A.L) and REP (R.E.A.P) on the achievement of biology and systemic thinking among second-year middle school students. To achieve this goal, the researcher prepared an achievement test consisting of (30) items, and a system thinking test consisting of ( 30) multiple-choice items, and the research sample consisted of (100) students from the second intermediate grade in Iraq High School for Boys affiliated with the General Directorate of Education in Najaf Governorate, and the biology textbook prescribed for the academic year (2022-2023 AD), and by a random selection method it was chosen Section (A) represents the first experimental group that studied with the ADELE strategy (I.D.E.A.L.), Section (D) represents the second experimental group that studied with the REP strategy (R.E.A.P), and Section (C) represents the control group that studied in the usual way, relying on an experimental design with control. Partial, and the three research groups were rewarded according to chronological age, previous academic achievement, intelligence, and a systematic thinking test. After analyzing the results, the researcher concluded that the students in the first experimental group who studied according to the Adele strategy (I.D.E.A.L.) excelled and the students in the second experimental group who studied according to the REEP strategy (R.E.A.P.) ), on the students in the control group who studied according to the usual method of achievement and systemic thinking for second-year intermediate students in biology. The researcher recommended the necessity of using modern strategies based on problem solving, including the Adele strategy, and strategies based on reading comprehension, including the REP strategy, in teaching biology subjects, because of their clear impact on students’ achievement and developing their thinking, especially systemic thinking, in addition to establishing courses.

Amis takes us directly to the heart of the matter in the Self's character by his sharp criticism against the marketing world and wider media culture willingness to serve the rolling of the machine of consumption and the manifestations of shallow morality and moral decay. Scenes kept them guessing and never knowing the end till they read the very last page. Consciousness was limited to the main character of the story, going from flickers to bursts, all urging the reader to a climatic end. The movie portrays a miserable society that prioritized money and interpersonal relationships to the extent that the humanity and prime concern of the people became mere illusion. In Amis' novel the advertising industry is a destroyer shown by the corruption that occurs in this world. Here appearance and perception is given more value than reality or truth, therefore there is a difference between Amis' novel and other tales regarding the advertising. Through Self's job as an advertising executive, Amis shows how false methods of merchandising are implemented with which the audience of advertisements is mentally preconditioned and, as a rule, this conditioning, what follows is the appearance of extremely distorted views concerning of themselves and the whole world. The topic of money is the main idea, and money is a kind of book that it shows how the greediest and most power-hungry people, even if they are socially acknowledged as perfect, can be destructively corrupted.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> HAMEED MANA DAIKH Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 1 12 The Effectiveness of the guided imagination strategy in reflective thinking among first-year intermediate school female students in the biology subject https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1977 <p><strong>The aim of the current research is to identify:</strong></p> <p>The effectiveness of the<strong>:</strong> guided imagination strategy in reflective thinking for first-year intermediate school students in the biology subject.

To achieve this goal, the researcher used content analysis, which is one of the descriptive research methods. The research tool consisted of a content evaluation checklist based on the AAAS standards, translated into Arabic. After statistically processing the results, the researcher analyzed and evaluated the middle school biology textbooks (for the academic year 2023-2024) in light of the standards checklist. Using Holsti’s formula, the researcher calculated the reliability coefficient in two ways: the first between the researcher and herself over time, which was (85%), and the second between the researcher and other analysts, which yielded a reliability coefficient of (80%) for the first center and (83%) for the second center.After evaluating the books based on the AAAS standards, which included five main criteria with (8) sub-criteria and (31) indicators, the total number of occurrences across the three textbooks reached (3363).

Tattoos are characterized by their multiple connotations. They are as old as humanity, and have had multiple uses since ancient civilizations, as archaeological monuments have revealed. It may be used for purely therapeutic purposes, and it may also be a manifestation of adornment and beautification, but it may constitute an indicator of an individual’s tendency toward deviant (criminal) behavior, especially among habitual criminals, and an expression of their criminal identity The deviant criminal behavior of tattooed individuals can be inferred based on the symbolism of the tattoo, through which the type of criminal behavior they have can be revealed. Given the widespread spread of the phenomenon of tattoos since the past decade, it has constituted a social phenomenon based on blind imitation in most cases, which requires studying it and determining its social and behavioral effects on the individual and society This requires studying it and examining its social and behavioral effects on the individual and society, and this is done through identifying the types of tattoos and what they symbolize and explaining the seriousness of some symbols, especially with regard to their criminal connotations, which form an identity through which criminals can be distinguished from others The researcher concluded that:</p> <ol> <li class="show">The phenomenon of tattooing is an ancient social practice, but it has evolved and diversified significantly in the present time.</li> <li class="show">There is an unprecedented spread of tattoos, especially those with deviant connotations, whether moral or behavioral deviations.</li> <li class="show">There is a weakness in the regulatory role of the Ministry of Health regarding unlicensed tattoo centers in light of the spread of health issues due to unqualified individuals practicing this profession.</li> </ol> <p>There is a lack of awareness and education from educational institutions regarding the dangers and harms of this phenomenon on individuals and society</p> Suad Shakir Bawee Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 135 156 The Importance of Play in the Social Integration of Children with Disabilities A Sociological Analytical Study https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1980 <p>This study seeks to shed light on the importance of play in achieving social integration for children with disabilities, as many age groups of people face problems of adaptation (integration) in life, and the most difficult is adaptation in the pre-school stage, adulthood and retirement age, which requires their rehabilitation and social integration, which is a set of measures aimed at reviving individual social ties or relationships due to the disability that was previously destroyed or lost.The most prominent objectives are to identify:The difficulties facing children with disabilities and their abilities while playing, each according to his disability, the importance of play in achieving social integration for children with disabilities, and the types of games that help integration.The most important results: People with physical disabilities need more attention, especially when playing to improve their overall development, because they often rely on their immediate support network and cannot participate effectively inside and outside school, perhaps due to their lack of appropriate play and learning materials. Play also helps strengthen the other senses of the child with disabilities, mobility and exploration of the surrounding environment. Modern technological techniques contribute in a way that makes it possible for them to participate in play. Play can reduce their feelings of anxiety or fear, reduce the risk of depression and can help alleviate symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Physical activity has positive effects on their functional independence, improving their integration and quality of life at the present time. The researcher presented a set of proposals, including: When designing games for people with disabilities, it is necessary to listen carefully to society and respond to their needs. Providing basic games for children with disabilities in particular, who need to make a greater effort to acquire and develop certain skills. Increasing attention to directing games that help develop communication and social skills. Working to introduce modern technology into halls and playgrounds for people with disabilities to help them practice sports and integrate into society.

The protagonists in the two novels Billy Pilgrim and Lieutenant Jimmy Cross, respectively, both are heavily impacted by the war experiences, they face different psychological war traumas. Billy, the war prisoner, is an unenthusiastic soldier who faces the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (P.T.S.D.), whereas Lieutenant Cross is the leader who bearing guilt and responsibility toward his men, he thinks neither of them truly able to grips with the war toll. Different kinds of trauma shape each character, both are attributed to the war cost but respond to their psychological trauma in different ways.Even though the two literary works being set in different historical times, World War II (1944-1945) as well as the War of Vietnam (1969- 1971), respectively, they exceed their definite contexts to suggest universal understandings into the emotional and relational war toll. Both, Vonnegut and O’Brien put away and reject previous classic war glorifications, concentrating instead on its deep devastating harsh influences on individuals and their human connections with others in society. Through the novels’ portrayal of trauma, guilt, and alienation, the writers present the monstrous consequences of war, emphasising the human bonds’ fragility in facing upheaval and war violence. Therefore, by blending cultural as well as psychological dimensions, the under discussion works represent poignant analyses of war conflicts, stand as a testament to the lasting human wars’ cost on relational and personal levels. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method so as to examine the selected novels’ texts. The study’s significance lies in the unique approach that adopted trauma theory, as well as postmodern literary criticism and relational sociology criticism, as a multidimensional lens to evaluate war’s impact on human relations especially personal relationships as they remain underexplored in contemporary literature since war is a continuous conflict that takes different forms and causes deep terrible impacts on all</p> Savannah H.

It relates them to patient outcomes by using a mixed-method approach where discourse analysis of naturally occurring medical interactions is conducted to explore the use of speech acts across different contexts when diagnosing, explaining the treatment, or giving emotional reassurance to the patient. The results clarify that clear directives have to be accompanied, indeed, by explanations, which highly improve the adherence of patients to the treatment. Assurances are also important in handling the anxiety of patients and in establishing their trust, which is particularly required in situations where emotional involvement is high. Moreover, it was found that the doctors provide more empathic reassurance, which influences patients' anxiety levels and confidence in the medical process. The overall contribution of this research is to the understanding of how speech acts function in institutional discourse, offering insights that can improve communication strategies in medical practice with a view to bettering patient care</p> Mushtaq Abdulrazzaq Abdulzahra Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 39 60 Encouragement and intimidation in Surat Al-Zalzalah and its effect on modifying behavior https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1986 <p>Surat Al-Zalzalah is one of the Qur’anic surahs that carries within it deep meanings and strong connotations whose goal is to guide humans toward right behavior, as the main focus of the surah is to depict scenes on the Day of Resurrection, when every soul will be rewarded for what it has earned. The Qur’anic text in this Surah shows a balanced approach that relies on spreading fear of divine punishment for those who do wrong, and at the same time, it opens the door to hope for good reward for those who do good. This balance is reflected in the human psyche, as it motivates a person to modify his behavior in accordance with the moral values​. The approach of the pure Imams (peace be upon them) in his interpretation of this Surah emphasizes the role of balance in education, and the importance of a person’s relationship with God being based on a combination of fear and hope, since the desire for Paradise and the fear of Hell are tools for correcting the soul and directing it towards obedience and good deeds.

And the environment, and the most important laws that guarantee economic and social well-being and solidarity. The Most Gracious - the Almighty - organized in his noble book the affairs of this world and the afterlife, and drew the line for a decent life. Did the ancient Arab writers pay attention to this issue, and address it in their writings? Did they provide solutions to this problem? In this research, we will take the book(AL FUSUL WAL CHAYAT) by Abu Al-Ala Al-Ma’arri, and there are several reasons for choosing this book One of the most important reasons ;This book was accused of being in opposition to the Holy Qur’an, from Abu Al-Ala’s contemporaries, and that it was copied in its style. Did it address the topics that the Holy Qur’an dealt with in this issue? As for the research methodology, it is a descriptive and analytical method.

They took care of it and classified important books in it, the classification of which extended to later eras of time. This composition emerged from the idea of ​​documenting the biographies of the Messenger, his companions, the Successors, and the followers of the Successors, which developed in the early part of the century. The second Hijri version, which was linked to the Hadith science’s criticism of the chain of transmission, i.e. jarh and ta’deel, but the purpose of writing it changed later, It no longer served only the science of hadith, but rather it took on other purposes, and it served most of the sciences. Historians, writers, linguists, and all types of people used the organizations that the hadith scholars had invented to organize biographical books since the third century A.H. Thus, classes of jurists, interpreters, readers, writers, ministers, poets, writers, and philosophers appeared. And sages, doctors, grammarians, linguists, and other books of classes. These classifications provided ample information about the beginnings of each science and its development, by studying its men and what they added to this science. The books of classes were the rich record of the religious, scientific, and cultural activities of the Islamic nation. The study relied on several sources, ranging from books on classes, obituaries, biographies, and general history books.

Through the practice of Althusser's theory, this analysis scrutinizes the way in which ISAs are shown and work in the play, stressing the intense connection amid power, ideological control, and resistance in a dysfunctional family background. By exploring the multidimensional relations and scuffles between the characters, the significance of obscured mysteries and appalling retentions, and the themes of dishonor, silence, and revelation, this inspection divulges the in-built ideologies that impact individual subjectivities and societal structures in Shepard's play.

It explores the extent to which these methods are used and their impact on developing creative imagination skills by analyzing students' engagement in the educational environment and its effect on their creative abilities.To achieve the study's objectives, two research instruments were developed: the first measures the extent of using interactive teaching methods, while the second assesses the level of creative imagination. The interactive teaching methods scale consisted of 35 items reflecting students' engagement with educational activities, whereas the creative imagination test comprised 15 items measuring students' ability to visualize, imagine, and generate creative ideas.The two instruments were applied to a sample of 110 students from the College of Education (morning study) for the academic year 2023–2024. The sample was selected using the stratified random sampling method. After conducting statistical analyses, the results indicated that students use interactive teaching methods at a good level, which positively contributes to developing their creative imagination skills. Additionally, the findings revealed a positive correlation between the use of interactive teaching methods and the level of creative imagination, suggesting that increased classroom interaction enhances students' creative thinking abilities.In light of these results, the study presents several recommendations and proposals to enhance interactive teaching practices, ultimately fostering creative imagination among students in higher education environments</p> Hayder Nasser Madhloom Al-Bdiri Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 363 390 The impact of decision-making strategy on the achievement of literature and texts among fifth-grade literary female students https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/1995 <p>The current research aims to identify the effect of the decision-making strategy on the achievement of the literature and texts subject among fifth-grade literary female students.

The moral values ​​and principles that embody the chivalry of the Bedouin Arab, such as generosity, courage, and lineage, also appeared in his poetry. This combination of Bedouin heritage and high poetic style made Ibn Nabata’s poetry express a deep connection to his cultural roots, with the ability to present it in a distinctive literary framework that combines originality and creativity. Therefore, this study came under the title Manifestations of Bedouinism in the Poetry of Ibn Nabatah al-Saadi, and one of&nbsp; the reasons for choosing this study is the love of poetry and its study and to learn about; Who is Ibn Nabatah Al-Saadi?

The aim of the research revolved around explaining the physical and moral aspects of nomadism in the poetry of Ibn Nabatah al-Saadi, as the research is an addition to those studies that focused on the life of this poet and explaining an aspect of his poetry. We relied on the descriptive and analytical approach, because it suits this type of study and investigation of poetic texts that included aspects and images of nomadism and analysis of poetic texts. The research plan required an introduction and two sections: As for the introduction, it dealt with the definition of nomadism in language and terminology.

Each poet differs from the other in describing the manifestations of place, due to the reality he lives in. These fluctuations in place create many images in the memory of poets. He remembers the past and cries over the remains of homes and those who inhabit them. Place is the outlet through which the poet recalls his life with all its details. This connection is rooted in the human soul, detonating its energy and inspiring it to express and compose in realizing the circumstances it has gone through. From this standpoint, place took on a broad dimension in literary details. The reason for choosing the topic: The place is what explodes the creative literary energies and is a motivator for the characters. In addition, it represents the connection that the poet has with his environment, and is a source of strength for stability in building the character. Ancient Arabic poetry did not know an environment similar to the environment of Andalusia, so the poets delved into the accuracy of the description and the artistry of poetic images. The objectives of the study were to show the feature that the place manifested in all Arabic poetry, especially Andalusian poetry, as it creates a character for a poet and makes him fluctuate in his poems between one place and another, and this place changes and does not remain in one state, as it is defined by the character of the hero through sadness or happiness, so a study of the place takes many aspects whose dimensions are rooted in the poet’s psyche</p> Abdullah Hassan Mohammed Hassan Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 565 576 Alienation and alienation in the poetry of Baraa Al-Shami https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/2002 <p>The feeling that haunts any person in all societies, and makes him realize different things inside him, which makes him a stranger, and since each person has a different feeling from his peers, wherever a person is, his feelings and emotions fluctuate according to the circumstances he is going through. These cases are what generate alienation in the soul, as he cannot accept the situations as they are or respond to them due to the prevailing circumstances in society or the surrounding environment. We see him expressing this in his words, whether poetry or prose. When fear, anxiety or hesitation arises inside him, it is a great suffering that is reflected in his literary works, and this is called alienation. It may be psychological, social or spatial, if it is mentioned in the same way. His buried feeling is what generates the distinctive poetic images to represent his condition or a condition that society lives in. Alienation is classified as a very old phenomenon, it appeared in the first societies, due to the problems and crises at that time, and the individual faced it with his normal abilities and sometimes it led him to rebellion and disobedience and others to surrender and self-isolation and the reason for choosing the research: The reason for choosing this research is that we found the emergence of this phenomenon in the poet Baraa Al-Shami in a remarkable way, and the poet was keen to address this phenomenon objectively, which made us study this phenomenon in the poet and what requires studying and analyzing it, so we sought to make our study about him.</p> Ahmed Khalil Samin Al-Khazraji Abdullah Hassan Mohammed Al-Jubouri Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 577 592 The Effectiveness of Teaching According to Objective Thinking Skills in the Achievement of Arabic Grammar Among Fourth Scientific Students and Their Attitudes Toward the Subject https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/2003 <p>The aim of the research was to identify the effectiveness of teaching based on objective thinking skills in the academic achievement of the Arabic grammar subject among fourth-year scientific students and their attitudes towards the subject. The researcher followed the experimental method, and the sample consisted of 90 students from the fourth scientific year at Al-Jawahiri Secondary School in Al-Diwaniyah city. The experiment was conducted during the first semester of the academic year 2024-2025. The experimental group was taught Arabic grammar using objective thinking skills, while the control group was taught using traditional methods , After administering two tests (Arabic grammar achievement test) and an attitude scale, which reflects a psychological readiness (cognitive, behavioral, and emotional) that manifests as either positive or negative responses from the fourth-year scientific students towards a specific situation or topic, the extent of their thinking breadth and scientific orientations was determined based on the scores the sample students achieved in the attitude scale towards the grammar subject, which the researcher prepared for this purpose.After extracting the psychometric properties of both tests, the results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the examinations. In light of this, the researcher concluded that teaching based on objective thinking skills is effective in enhancing the academic achievement of the sample students in the grammar subject.

Through the articles it approved, it contributed to organizing the causes of the dispute between them, in addition to the efforts of both parties to maintain the state of peace by adhering to its articles and not violating them for 23 years. The importance of the topic lies in the fact that the religious reality of both the Ottoman and Safavid states constitutes one of the reasons for the conflict between them, and that the Treaty of Amasya contributed to creating a state of calm and stability between the two states over a period of 23 years, i.e. it addressed the causes of the dispute between the two states, including the religious factor.

The essay investigates the ways in which the novel's protagonist, Midhat Kamal, navigates this labyrinthine question about his identity, which was unshackled in tussles between a never-rooted life of exile, the loss of any core, and crossfires between the Palestinian ethnic being and colonial France. This article will look at how Midhat's identity is modified according to the cultural forces at play in his confrontations with both Palestinian and Western spaces, drawing on Bhabha's ideas of hybridity and the "Third Space.". This paper further furthers Said's argument of exile as traumatic and formative in exploring the way in which memories of Palestine frame and complicate Midhat's integration into France's colonial society. The presentation represents how <em>The Parisian</em> contributes to the postcolonial discourse in the perspective of representing the complexity of Palestinian identity in diaspora, together with insight into larger dynamics of colonialism, cultural memory, and belonging</p> Ali Challab Abid Copyright (c) 2025 2025-02-27 2025-02-27 15 2 97 118 Topological Concepts And Their Relationship To Multidimensional Thinking Among Middle School Female Students https://bcchj.uobabylon.edu.iq/index.php/bcchj/article/view/2007 <p>This research aims to determine the relationship between physiological concepts and multidimensional thinking among middle school female students.
