Objectives: The study aims to (1) Assess the parents' efficacy for child healthy weight behavior. (2) Identify the difference in parents’ efficacy for child healthy weight behavior between the groups of parent’s gender, family’s socioeconomic status, child’s gender, and child’s birth order, (3) Find out the relationship between parents’ age, child’s age, child’s body mass index, family’s socioeconomic status, the number of children in the family and parents’ efficacy for child healthy weight behavior.
Methodology: A descriptive correlational study is conducted for the period from November 11th, 2018 to March 25th, 2019 to assess the parents' efficacy for child healthy weight behavior. The study was carried-out in (30) primary schools that were selected through a simple random sampling of (125) schools from Hilla City. The instruments was composed of two parts , the first part was the demographic data and the second part was the Parent Efficacy for Child Healthy Weight Behavior (PECHWB) Scale, it consists of 41 items based on Australian guidelines for healthy weight behaviors. The validity of the instrument was achieved by eleven experts. Data were collected for the period from January 10th to March 5th, 2019. Data were analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 24.
Results: The study results revealed that most of pupils eat three or more serves of fruit and vegetables per day, minimize high fats and sugar intake, engaging in one hour of physical activity per day, and being no more than two hours in sedentary behavior per day on holidays/vacations and on weekends. Furthermore, they minimize high fats and sugar intake and eat healthy snacks on their demands/request. Moreover, they do not minimize high fats and sugar intake and eat healthy snacks when they are stressed or in bad mood and when they complain.
Recommendations: The researcher recommends establishing health activities that aim to raise the public’s awareness of fostering healthy lifestyle and behaviors for their children
The research aims to determine what a photograph intends to convey as a visual text. Photographs are not captured randomly, especially those of politicians. Each photograph carries a message, even if interpretations of that message vary from person to person. The research adopts a methodology based on semiotic analysis, applying Laurent Gervero's model to analyze a photograph of the Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi's visit to Fallujah on the anniversary of the victory over ISIS. The photographs in question constitute a visual language built upon a sequence of iconic symbols and signs. These elements coalesce to give rise to an image centered around a particular theme, one designed to convey a precise messag

The research aimed to identify and build two specialized scales for cognitive load and mental stress and to identify the level of each of them among 110-meter steeplechase runners among youth, and to prepare a psychological counseling approach to reduce the level of cognitive load and mental stress among 110-meter steeplechase runners among youth, so that the two research hypotheses are that there are differences. There are statistically significant differences between the results of the pre- and post-tests of the experimental group in measuring cognitive load. There are statistically significant differences between the results of the pre- and post-tests of the experimental group in measuring mental stress. The experimental method w

Improving electron temperature values is one of the important processes for using this specification in plasma for being adopted in several modern applications such as nuclear fusion, plating operations and in industrial applications. In this work, theoretical computations were performed to enhance electron temperature under dense homogeneous plasma. The effect of power and duration time of pulsed Nd:YAG laser was studied on the heating of plasmas by inverse bremsstrahlung for several values for the electron density ratio. There results for these ca
