- Itemقلق الموت ما بعد الجلطة الدماغية لدى عينة من المصابين بالجلطة الدماغية في جمعية بيت لحم العربية للتأهيل والجراحة(2023-01-30) خاروفة، ميرنا; حسين، علاThis study aimed to identify the level of post-stroke death anxiety of a sample of stroke patients, and the differences in their level of death anxiety according to the study variables (gender, age, educational level, stroke re-currency, and the presence of relatives who died with stroke). To achieve the objectives of the study, the analytical descriptive approach was used, applying the death anxiety scale consisting of (24) paragraphs on an available sample of (50) individuals in all departments of Bethlehem Arab society for Rehabilitation. The results of the study showed that the death anxiety level among the sample was moderate. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences at the significance level (α≤0.05) in the level of death anxiety after stroke among the stroke sufferers, attributable to the study variables (sex, age, educational level, stroke recurrence and the presence of relatives who died of stroke). In light of these results, the study recommended the design of specialized counseling and treatment programs to reduce the degree of post-stroke death anxiety among patients at Bethlehem Arab Society for Rehabilitation, to enable patients to learn mechanisms for dealing with psychological and physical symptoms.
- ItemThe Cognitive Style (Focusing-Scanning) among Al-Quds University Students(International Journal of Humanities and Cultural Studies, 2020-06-30) Rimawi, Omar; Halabiyah, Fadwa; Hussein, OlaThis study aims to explore the cognitive style (focusing-scanning) among Al-Quds University students. A descriptive approach was used to achieve this objective. The study population included the first-term student of Al-Quds University for the academic year (2019/2020). The sample of the research consisted of (262) students who were selected using the Stratified Random Method. The validity and reliability of the study instrument were assessed. The findings showed that there were differences due to the gender in favor of females towards focusing, and to the faculty variable in favor of the faculty of Science towards focusing, the findings also revealed differences attributed to (GPA) in favor of the average (70-80). Importantly, the findings found no differences were attributed to the educational level, and that confirming the need to pay more attention to develop the cognitive styles of focusing for all university students as they affect positively the level of learning and education.
- ItemMediating Role of Regret Feelings in the Relationship Between Consumer Expectations, Emotions, and Willingness to Buy Chinese Products(Emerald insight, Rajagiri Management Journal, 2024-10-21) Abdalrahman, Mohammed; Darwish, NidalPurpose – The paper aims to investigate the impact of customers’ expectations, negative emotions and regret on consumers’ intention to buy Chinese clothing products in the Palestinian market. Design/methodology/approach – This paper used a convenience sampling technique. The path relationship of the study model was analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS-SEM). Findings – Results showed that regret was affected by the negative feelings that consumers could incur after buying the product. Additionally, negative feelings and regret negatively affected consumers’ intention to buy Chinese clothing products, while their expectations positively affected their decisions. However, the mediation effect of regret was approved in the relationship between negative feelings and the intention to buy.
- ItemReactive compatibilization of polycarbonate/polyester blends: optical and rheological properties(2024-02-13) Ahmad Al-Jabareen; O O SantanaOptical and rheological properties of polycarbonate (PC)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blends rich in PC with the presence or absence of different types of transesterification catalysts were investigated in this study. PC/PET blends maintain a high level of transparency (transmittance between 86 and 93%) in all cases, regardless of the blending ratio or the presence or absence of transesterification catalysts. These variations in transmittance are due to the size, distribution and number of dispersed particles. The linear viscoelastic properties confirmed the partial miscibility of blends containing transesterification catalysts in the polymer melt. Additionally, the Palierne emulsion model, with a few changes, gave accurate predictions of the linear viscoelastic data for all PC/PET blends. However, as predicted, the lowfrequency data demonstrated the distinct impact of interfacial tension on the elastic modulus of the blends, particularly, as the PET content is increased.
- ItemAwareness and knowledge of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) among the general public in West-Bank in Palestine(BMC, 2024-12-18) Alhareth M. Amro; Osama J. Makhamreh; Hamdah Hanifa; Tarek A. Owais; Afnan W. M. JobranBackground: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths, often occurring outside hospitals in undiagnosed individuals. Our study aims to assess the baseline awareness and skills in performing CPR among the population in Palestine.
