Students and Watching Specialized Satellite Channels (Applied Study on a Sample of University of Baghdad’s Students
...Show More Authors

This research is one of the public research aimed at identifying the communication habits and the implications of the content on the communication process, especially as the audience of specialized media is often characterized by effectiveness, depth and active in tracking the media message and interaction with its content. It means such audience is a positive, very active, dynamic, and very alert audience driven by his interests and psychological needs to watch specific programs meet his desires.

This satisfaction can only be achieved through the use of specialized media capable of producing programs that will communicate and interact between the ideas you present and this audience.

The phenomenon of specialized satellite TV is a new phenomenon in the media. It has emerged and spread rabidly and branched in various fields of knowledge and life activities as a reflection of the necessities of social, economic, cultural and technical aspects.

So, this research, which examines the phenomenon of students' exposure to these satellite channels, aims to identify the importance of those satellite channels for their lives and communication habits in receiving those channels. Moreover, the research gets to know the ability of these satellite channels to satisfy the different desires and interests: scientific, literary, artistic and in all life activities to reach their capability to attract the public. Then, the study tries to know what is distinguished in these satellite channels that differentiates them form the public or non-specialized satellite channels.

Search results showed that channels with more fun, entertainment and entertainment have higher viewership than others. This can be seen by the high percentage of viewership of singing and music channels, especially if we add them as well as the rates of drama, children and cooking channels, while the percentage of viewership of channels with serious topics such as educational and cultural channels. These results are consistent with the levels of viewing shown by listeners and viewers' research that have shown that both educated and more educated people rely on television for entertainment and have a limited desire to adjust television programs to other features of more informative and educational recipes.

The results also revealed the diversity of the interests of the majority of the students surveyed and their needs to be satisfied from different subjects at the same time. These results reveal the lack of specialized interests among students with a single subject of knowledge.

But, what drives students to watch specialized satellite channels? Research has shown that the majority of respondents are looking at these channels for specific programs that match their interests and desires.

It was also found that the students, according to the degree of preference first, prefer in their views of specialized satellite TV types, including the most important: satellite channels specialized in sports, next specialized in drama, after that the news channels, then the music ones, after that the religious channels, then, the documentary channels, followed by the specialized in children's films and programs, and finally the channels specialized in women's affairs. The longest time spent by more than half of the students surveyed in front of specialized channels screens is one to two hours.

The results also showed that most of the students are of the irregular type to watch, but to follow specialized satellite channels according to mood and leisure time depending on the psychological state and mood more than they tend to follow them regularly. This is considered as a difference that reveals the weakness of the students' selective exposure to subjects offered by satellite channels.

The research showed that more than half of the students surveyed did not pre-select programs chosen in specialized channels. Rather, they leave the choice to the factors of chance in what shows them remote control programs and choose what suits them.

The results, also, showed that the most important needs or desires saturated or met by watching specialized satellite channels in the students are concentrated in satisfying the need for specific information eager to know the details and follow the latest developments. In the second place, the respondents mentioned that the media coverage of the satellite channels provides them with opportunities to follow topics they are interested in. The satisfaction of the need for information or knowledge and skills useful in the development of a scientific or professional discipline that works or cares for students has come at the bottom of the concerns of the respondents.

As for the negative or positive viewers towards what they receive or are exposed to specialized satellite TV programs, most of the respondents stated that they are engaged in an internal dialogue with oneself about the ideas, opinions, and topics raised by the programs of these satellite channels, while it was found that few respondents, unlike the first case, stated that they, absolutely, recognize it. The research also revealed that more than half of the respondents discuss some of the content of the programs they watch with colleagues in the profession, study or family member, while a third of them just watch or enjoy what they see calmly and relaxed.

Removal of Malachite Green from Aqueous Solution using Ficus Benjamina Activated Carbon-Nonmetal Oxide synthesized by pyro Carbonic Acid Microwave
...Show More Authors

Activated carbon derived from Ficus Binjamina agro-waste synthesized by pyro carbonic acid microwave method and treated with silicon oxide (SiO2) was used to enhance the adsorption capability of the malachite green (MG) dye. Three factors of concentration of dye, time of mixing, and the amount of activated carbon with four levels were used to investigate their effect on the MG removal efficiency. The results show that 0.4 g/L dosage, 80 mg/L dye concentration, and 40 min adsorption duration were found as an optimum conditions for 99.13% removal efficiency. The results also reveal that Freundlich isotherm and the pseudo-second-order kinetic models were the best models to describe the equilibrium adsorption data.

First record of peregrine shrimp Metapenaeus stebbingi Nobili, 1904 (Crustacea, Decapoda: Penaeidae) in the Iraqi waters, North-West Arabian Gulf
...Show More Authors

One male specimen of the species Metapenaeus stebbingi Nobili, 1904 was first recorded in November 2021 from the Iraqi territorial waters, Northwest of the Arabian Gulf. Therefore, the investigated shrimp species nominally corresponds to the original description of M. stebbing through the main diagnostic features. It must be adopted in the spread and expansion of species, a new record of the area, and a distinctive addition to the species of commercial shrimp within the Iraqi marine waters.

Utilizing the Gravity Method to Detect the Potential Effect of the Salt Dome in the Nahr Omar Oilfield, Southern Iraq
...Show More Authors

Geophysics is one of the branches of Earth sciences and deals with studying the Earth's interior by studying the variation of physical properties within rock layers. Applied geophysics depends on procedures that involve the measurements of potential fields, such as the gravitational method. One of the significant oil fields in southern Iraq is represented by the Nahr Omar structure. A power spectrum analysis (SPA) technique was used to collect gravity data within the chosen oil field area in order to confirm the salt dome in the subsurface layers. The analysis of SPA resulted from six surfaces representing the gravity variation values of the depths (m)14300, 3780, 3290, 2170, 810, and 93.5. Gravity surfaces have been converted to de

Variables related to the performance styles of batik art to achieve linear tactile effects in the printmaking: نجلاء المرضوف السعدي
...Show More Authors

The art of batik is one of the ancient arts that has a long history in East Asian countries, especially in Indonesia, where it was considered a traditional craft with which many Indonesian tribes lived. This art began to move to other continents and develops and progresses due to the artist’s connection to the surrounding technological and intellectual development, as art became more outgoing and liberated, it helped the artist to create and innovate in his designs. In this research, he focuses on modern performance methods through which print paintings can be produced through design elements, especially calligraphy, to create aesthetic and creative effects in the productive work. The current research aims to identify the various perfo
