Al-Foqaha[email protected]<p>This study analyses the role of universities in alleviating the social anxiety associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The study discusses three main aspects of the role of universities, namely providing verified and credible information about the virus and ways to prevent it, providing direct and supportive medical services to citizens, in addition to continuing education through online learning. The study adopted the analytical methodology of literature review and results of previous empirical research, in addition to analyzing the experience of Palestinian universities during the pandemic. The study concluded that universities had a direct impact in alleviating the social anxiety associated with the spread of the Corona virus in Palestinian society by providing verified and credible information to citizens that reduced the confusion, providing extensive information about ways to prevent the virus, and providing direct and indirect services to citizens. Finally, the study showed how the universities' continuation of providing educational services through electronic media contributed to alleviating social anxiety.

Thabit[email protected]Hashem Mhd. Safi[email protected]<p>The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of this year had a significant impact on credit and bank financing policies, which prompted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) to issue a document supporting the implementation of IFRS 9 in light of the current uncertainty resulting from this pandemic. IFRS 9 requires the application of provisions and requires and allows economic units to modify their approach to determining expected credit losses (ECL) in different circumstances and there may not be a number of assumptions and correlations inherent in the way credit loss statements are implemented so far in the current environment. This study aims to investigate the application of IFRS 9 in banks during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis by studying the impact of the financial crisis resulting from the outbreak of the pandemic in the world on estimates of ECL in the banking sector, and the researchers reached many conclusions. The most important was that although the current conditions are difficult and create high levels of uncertainty in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, but if the ECL estimates are based on reliable information Reasonable and supportive IFRS 9 has not been applied automatically so it can provide useful information about ECL, and in fact in the current environment IFRS 9 and its related disclosures can provide much needed transparency to users of financial statements.</p>2023-07-10T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuejhss/article/view/897The Chinese-American Conflict over the South China Sea2023-08-08T08:53:52+00:00Mahmood I. Mohammed[email protected]<p>The essence of the conflict between the United States and China over hegemony over the South China Sea is inseparable from the two sides' comprehensive strategy regarding the survival or change of the current international order. The United States seeks to maintain the status quo and its security arrangements, and the balance of regional powers in the South China Sea within its strategy. In return, China is striving to bring about a change in the vicinity of its region that constitutes the beginning of changes in other regions of the world that rises to the levels of major transformations that drive the change of the current unipolar international order into a one.

Sharif[email protected]<p>The idea of the lack of legal actions within the framework of private law, and from it moved to the general section of the law, such as constitutional law and administrative law and even in the framework of procedural laws. However, the idea quickly faded within the framework of civil law, and the majority of jurisprudence contented itself with relying on the binary division of invalidity, which is relative and absolute invalidity. After it was based on the triple division of invalidity, which is relative and absolute invalidity and the lack of legal actions. In the field of constitutional law, although some jurisprudence was adopted, the idea no longer existed within the framework of constitutional law. However, administrative law took upon itself the development of the idea of nullity, in terms of appeal and legal terms, and this idea remained firmly established within the framework of administrative law. Even with the absence of legal texts regulating this, the administrative judiciary took it upon itself to develop it. In the field of administrative pleadings, the judiciary has regulated the idea of the absence of judicial rulings as an existing idea. The non-existence in the field of administrative law, especially in the framework of the administrative decision, is the inability to arrange legal effects on the administrative decision and to consider it in the ranks of material actions, and therefore it is not subject to correction. The lack of legal actions is the failure to arrange the legal effect of actions and is not subject to authorization or modification.</p>2023-07-10T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuejhss/article/view/844The Extent to which the Tax Departments Depend on the Financial Statements Audited by the Chartered Accountant in Kurdistan Region of Iraq2023-08-08T08:53:50+00:00Hashem Mhd. Safi[email protected]Thabit H. Thabit[email protected]<p>This study aims to identify the extent of the income auditor's confidence (the evaluator) in the audited financial statements submitted to him by the taxpayer in the Kurdistan region and to identify the reasons for the income auditor's refusal of the audited financial statements by the chartered accountant. To achieve the objectives of the study, a field study was conducted by creating a questionnaire that was distributed to a sample of income controllers in the Corporate Profit Tax Directorate in Erbil, and then analyzing the results and testing the research hypotheses using the SPSS statistical program. The research concluded with the following results: The independence of the auditor is considered the backbone of the audit profession in general, and it was found that there are many obstacles and threats facing the independence of the chartered accountant, such as the taxpayer’s pressure on the chartered accountant towards determining fees, establishing financial relations between the auditor and the facility, or accepting Significant gifts from the taxpayer. The compliance of the certified accountant and the rules and ethics of professional work are among the factors affecting the rejection of the financial statements, especially the certified accountant collecting the necessary evidence and exerting the necessary professional care to examine the data before expressing an opinion on it.</p>2023-07-20T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuejhss/article/view/583The Effect of a Selective Counseling Program on Developing Academic Compatibility among Cihan University-Erbil Students2023-08-09T14:52:45+00:00Zhian J.

Abed[email protected]<p> The crime of aggression was approved in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 1998, but its definition was postponed until the Rome Statute came into force after 30 countries ratified it, which was done in 2002, and then the agreement of the Assembly of States Parties to this system after (7) years. On its entry into force, which was what happened in 2010 (Kampala Conference) after making amendments to the system, and it was also postponed to activate these amendments until the agreement of the Assembly of States Parties in 2017, and it was agreed to activate starting from 2018, and thus the (ICC) became competent in the crime of aggression In addition to the other three crimes (war crime, genocide, and crime against humanity). The research dealt with how to define the crime of aggression, the extent to which the definition was affected by General Assembly Resolution (3314) of 1974, what are the pillars of this crime, the nature of the amendments to the Kampala Conference, how to activate these amendments, and the extent of the need to issue declarations with the approval or rejection of these amendments, in addition to clarifying the limits of the competence of the (ICC) on The crime of aggression, and what is the relationship between the court and the UN Security Council and the positions of states, especially the permanent members of it, and finally a study of the effects of withdrawal from the court and the extent of its coverage of the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969.</p> <p> </p>2023-08-15T06:42:39+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuejhss/article/view/837Commitment to Presenting Women and their Problems in Hussein Arif's City Novel2023-08-16T14:58:59+00:00Sarkawt S.

Jalal[email protected]<p>Environmental Media Studies are considered one of the main pillars of environmental protection and raising awareness of society as they introduce environmental concepts and values. In addition, they raise awareness among individuals, government officials, and relevant authorities in order to protect and improve the environment. In the contemporary era, media tools play a critical role in tackling environmental issues and directing individual behavior to conserve the environment. In this case, media helps increase environmental awareness and enlightenment, and protect the environment. In this study, from a media sociology perspective, tasks and duties related to environmental media studies have been scientifically discussed. In conclusion, it was found that environmental media studies are recent areas of research study whether in terms of concept or in terms of topic for research. By raising environmental issues and the degradation of natural ecosystems, the need for these studies to heighten awareness among people and authorities has become more apparent. In Kurdistan, although the media has paid attention to the environment, Kurdistan’s environment and environmental awareness have not reached the satisfied standards due to the lack of academic expertise in the field of environmental media, the absence of other social media channels to educate society regarding the environment and many other issues. Environmental news in Kurdistan media has been limited to reporting the weather condition and the media has ignored spreading information on the dangers of environmental degradation and environmental abuse by individuals.</p>2023-08-20T00:00:00+00:00##submission.copyrightStatement##https://journals.cihanuniversity.edu.iq/index.php/cuejhss/article/view/1001Palestinian Social Security Fund Obstacles and Expected Impacts on Achieving Sustainable Development2023-10-04T16:10:25+00:00Abdulnaser I.
