The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the cardiology services in Northern Jordan

The study aimed to identify the effect of playing electronic games on students' behavior in public schools in Jordan from the teachers’ point of view, and to achieve the aim of the study, the corresponding study tool was prepared and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The study sample consisted of a number of public school teachers in the Northern Jordan Valley. In the governorate of Irbid, who numbered (45) teachers, and they were chosen by the intentional method, the researcher used the qualitative approach to suit the nature of the study and its objectives, and the study reached the following results: The results of the interviews of the respondents showed that there are unusual behaviors that appeared on students as a result of their merging with electronic games and this What all the interviewed individuals indicated, and the majority of the study sample indicated that there are changes in students ’behavior such as irritation, violence, hitting, blind imitation of some wrong behaviors, immoral habits and negative habits that affected their social habits with their peers, and most of the respondents indicated that the academic achievement of students who Playing electronic games has clearly decreased, and in light of the results of the study, the researcher presented many m The recommendations include conducting many studies and research on the impact of electronic games at different age stages, educating parents about the danger of electronic games on children, holding awareness and introducing workshops on the dangers and negatives of electronic games, highlighting the school’s role in addressing the problem of electronic games for students, by educating them and guiding them about the harms of this Games for their behaviors.

The aim of this study is to show the extent of the impact of factors that affect the purchasing behavior of housing apartments per capita in Irbid city. It discusses the most influential factors in the purchasing decision for housing issues. These factors are independent factors: structural, geographical, environmental, and economical. Data was collected via questionnaires which were distributed to a sample of 150 individuals who are owners of apartments in Irbid city (Northern Jordan). The study showed different results and the various factors (structural, geographical, environmental, economical, and demographic) which have a significant impact on the purchasing decision of housing apartments in Irbid city. It is evident that these factors in full manner and the structural factors (construction area, land area, finishing, age of the building, and the outer shape) have an effect on the decision making process of the respective apartments.

This research aims to identify the impact of using a science lab on the support student learning in Northern Ghour from the point of view of their teachers. In addition to the most important challenges faced by science teachers in activating the school laboratory in the educational process. The research was based on the descriptive analytical method. The researcher took out the questionnaire a tool to take opinions of the sample of 23 teachers. The results of the research showed that the effect of using science laboratories to support the learning of basic school students in the northern Jordan Valley from the viewpoint of their teachers at the level of the overall tool got a total average (3.63 out of 5) with an estimate (high), and at the level of fields; knowledge building got the highest average ( 3.91) followed by the field of developing social skills with an average of (3.61), both of which are rated (high) and finally the field of developing performance skills with an average of (3.39) and an estimate of (medium), as it was found that there were no statistically significant differences at the level (0.05 ≤α) Supporting primary school students' learning in northern Jordan Valley schools from the viewpoint of high school teachers Due to the change of gender or academic qualification.

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.

The Impact

The term geo-sciences has been used here to include the disciplines geology, geophysics and geochemistry. However, in order to apply geophysics and geochemistry effectively one must begin with a geological model. Therefore, the science of geology should be used as the basis for lunar exploration. From an astronomical point of view, a lunar terrain heavily impacted with meteors appears the more reasonable; although from a geological standpoint, volcanism seems the more probable mechanism. A surface liberally marked with volcanic features has been advocated by such geologists as Bülow, Dana, Suess, von Wolff, Shaler, Spurr, and Kuno. In this paper, both the impact and volcanic hypotheses are considered in the application of the geo-sciences to manned lunar exploration. However, more emphasis is placed on the volcanic, or more correctly the defluidization, hypothesis to account for lunar surface features.

The Impact

AbstractWhilst lithopanspermia depends upon massive impacts occurring at a speed above some limit, the intact delivery of organic chemicals or other volatiles to a planet requires the impact speed to be below some other limit such that a significant fraction of that material escapes destruction. Thus the two opposite ends of the impact speed distributions are the regions of interest in the bioastronomical context, whereas much modelling work on impacts delivers, or makes use of, only the mean speed. Here the probability distributions of impact speeds upon Mars are calculated for (i) the orbital distribution of known asteroids; and (ii) the expected distribution of near-parabolic cometary orbits. It is found that cometary impacts are far more likely to eject rocks from Mars (over 99 percent of the cometary impacts are at speeds above 20 km/sec, but at most 5 percent of the asteroidal impacts); paradoxically, the objects impacting at speeds low enough to make organic/volatile survival possible (the asteroids) are those which are depleted in such species.

The Impact

AbstractA large amount of CO has been detected above many SL9/Jupiter impacts. This gas was never detected before the collision. So, in our opinion, CO was released from a parent compound during the collision. We identify this compound as POM (polyoxymethylene), a formaldehyde (HCHO) polymer that, when suddenly heated, reformes monomeric HCHO. At temperatures higher than 1200°K HCHO cannot exist in molecular form and the most probable result of its decomposition is the formation of CO. At lower temperatures, HCHO can react with NH3 and/or HCN to form high UV-absorbing polymeric material. In our opinion, this kind of material has also to be taken in to account to explain the complex evolution of some SL9 impacts that we observed in CCD images taken with a blue filter.

AbstractHydrogen cyanide polymers – heterogeneous solids ranging in color from yellow to orange to brown to black – may be among the organic macromolecules most readily formed within the Solar System. The non-volatile black crust of comet Halley, for example, as well as the extensive orangebrown streaks in the atmosphere of Jupiter, might consist largely of such polymers synthesized from HCN formed by photolysis of methane and ammonia, the color observed depending on the concentration of HCN involved. Laboratory studies of these ubiquitous compounds point to the presence of polyamidine structures synthesized directly from hydrogen cyanide. These would be converted by water to polypeptides which can be further hydrolyzed to α-amino acids. Black polymers and multimers with conjugated ladder structures derived from HCN could also be formed and might well be the source of the many nitrogen heterocycles, adenine included, observed after pyrolysis. The dark brown color arising from the impacts of comet P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter might therefore be mainly caused by the presence of HCN polymers, whether originally present, deposited by the impactor or synthesized directly from HCN. Spectroscopic detection of these predicted macromolecules and their hydrolytic and pyrolytic by-products would strengthen significantly the hypothesis that cyanide polymerization is a preferred pathway for prebiotic and extraterrestrial chemistry.
