the contemporary Arab scholars deal with semiotics as an approach that helps them understand the texts, its meaning, and its structural functionalism . that’s why every now and then we find some
studies and researches using semiotics as an approach in study and comparatives, some of them even used the semiotic approach in analyzing old and new texts, while others think that semiotic holds and important place in critical approaches .
even though some of them considers semiotic just a trend of fashion this really didn’t lessen the value of semiotic as a scientific and procedural approach in literary and media studies as well as in analyzing literary and journalistic texts. for this reason it is considered as an important approach that opens new horizons to enlighten the uncharted areas of media, art and literary contexts
even though that semiotic had imposed itself on studies in the fields of media, art, literature and culture since the seventies and made a myriad of different approaches but we still see its applications absent from humanitarian studies in general and its absent from media studies in particular, especially in the middle east region including Iraq.
this absence has made a loss of important analytical tools that could uncover and reveal a lot of humanitarian and social phenomenon in the content of media if we considered media as our field of study and analysis .
accordingly this study deals with the ambiguity that surrounds the application of the semiotic approach in analyzing the message of the media and the reasons of its recession, thus the main research problem is the non-existence of a clear and complete understanding on the applications of the semiotic approach in media studies especially in analyzing the media in general and in communication in particular . this study also tries to answer a primary question which is : does the use and application of semiotic approach in media studies contradicts the classical approaches such as content analysis that’s being used in analyzing the message of the media ?
Over last decade, rapid growth in economic and population accompanied with depletion of the energy resources lead to serious impacts on environment and humanity. This development coupled with active constructions, which in some examples ignore the impact on the environment and human activities. Therefore, principle of sustainability has required in order to reducing this negative impact on the environment and the humanity.In developing countries, it seems that there is a huge gap between the current construction practices and sustainable principle, which need more attention to clarify and define the problems in order to find suitable solutions before it comes more difficult and expensive. The study aims to choose one of the develo
The research addresses the most important elements of the ancient Iraqi heritage represented by architecture and plastic arts being the direct means that preserved the heritage due to the ease of preserving them and the speed of circulating them and diversity of their topics.

Has it been employed in the Iraqi contemporary art? What is the evidence for that? How to employ it in the arts and t
In this article, the types of renewable energies and the environmental effects of consuming these energies are studied. Energy is one of the things necessary for economic and social development and improving the quality of life, and the presence of continuous and sustainable economic energy is essential for any economic development and growth. Humankind has been aware of renewable energies such as biomass and geothermal energy for a long time and has used these energies as heat sources for shelter. With the beginning of the extraction of fossil fuels such as oil and coal and unlimited access to these products, the use of renewable energy sources, except in remote places and forest areas, has become limited and forgotten. Currently in Iraq,

Show MoreWhile providing important news information, News tickers ( also called sliders or crawlers ) have become one of the methods used daily by satellite channels, because it’s almost a continuous news coverage and as it seems, it has become today an addition to the news world. Hence, satellite channels need to look for a mechanism to build news tickers in order to develop them even though they are still today not recognisable and in need of being classified in a radio or television art, and that is not easy. This research sheds light on the construction of the slider of a news satellite channel, which is important according to our modest convictions, as it can be the beginning of a long scientific research in a new field of study.
