- ItemTHE EFFECT OF VIDEO GAME ADDICTION ON THE OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT AND CONDUCT DISORDERS AMONG CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS IN THE SOUTHERN TRIANGLE AREA OF OCCUPIED PALESTINE(2023-01-22) Alaa Anan Adnan JaberVideo games are a form of recreational activity, that are commonly used today as an effective way to enjoy and pass time. However, with the increase in popularity, comes an increase in concern regarding mental health issues, caused by exposure to such games. The current study aims to investigate the effect of VGA, on both ODD and CD, among children and adolescents in the context of the southern triangle area of Occupied Palestine (1948), and the prevalence of VGA, ODD and CD in the area, as well as the effect of age and gender on each of VGA, ODD and CD. A quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational descriptive design was used to achieve the objectives of this study. The population of this study consisted of all children and adolescents from 9 to 15 years old, and from both genders who live in the Southern Triangle area of Occupied Palestine (1948). A total of (147) children and adolescents (46% males and 54% females) were selected using an available sampling technique, this method was followed due to social distance and preventive procedures during COVID-19 pandemic. All participants responded to an online questionnaire using a google form, measuring VGA, ODD, and CD. Conducting the appropriate tests to measure validity and reliability of the questionnaire, showed sufficient validity across all items and an excellent reliability. The results showed that in the southern triangle area, VGA has a higher effect on ODD than CD, as there was a moderate positive linear relationship between VGA and ODD (β =.248, t = 4.17, p .01). On the other hand, there was a weak positive linear relationship between VGA and CD (β =.112, t = 3.14, p .01). Additionally, VGA (2.42 ± 1.00), ODD (1.27 ± 0.44) and CD (2.24 ± 0.76) were significantly under the hypothetical means, indicating that the levels of aforementioned disorders are low in the southern triangle area. Moreover, while all VGA, ODD and CD are more prevalent among males, VGA and CD have been observed to be more common among the youngest children, while ODD is more common among the oldest adolescents. The results found connections between VGA and both ODD and CD, which indicated that in some cases ODD and CD can be attributed to the presence of VGA. In addition, the findings indicate that, although uncommon, the spread of video games in the southern triangle area can cause the emergence of video game addiction, resulting in the potential development of disruptive behaviors, such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder. As a recommendation to maintain the low levels of VGA, ODD and CD, a periodic monitoring system can be implemented in the area by parents and teachers to detect unhealthy behavior and reward good behavior. This way will positively reinforce desired behavior, while giving an opportunity to redirect problematic behavior into other healthier activities, helping children and adolescents in the process.

- ItemTHE ROLE OF USING SELF-ORGANIZED LEARNING STRATEGY IN IMPROVING ENGLISH LANGUAGE PERFORMANCE OF SEVENTH GRADERS AS PERCEIVED BY ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHERS IN TUBAS PUBLIC SCHOOLS(2023-01-19) Marah DaraghmaThis study sought to identify the role of using self-organized learning strategy in improving English language performance of seventh graders as perceived by English language teachers in Tubas public schools. Furthermore, the study aimed to find out the role of gender, academic degree, years of experience, and the number of training courses taken by the teacher on the teacher’s perspectives towards this strategy. To achieve these objectives, the descriptive analytical approach was employed through utilizing a 38- questionnaire. The participants of the study comprised 60 EFL teachers who teach the seventh graders in Tubas public schools in the scholastic year 2021/2022. Results of the study showed that the role of using self-organized learning strategy in improving English language performance of seventh graders as perceived by English language teachers in Tubas public schools was very high. In addition, the results indicated that there were no statistically significant differences in teachers’ responses of the role of using self-organized learning strategy in improving English language performance, due to the variables of gender, academic degree, years of experience, and the number of training courses taken by the teacher. Based on these results, the researcher offered several recommendations to the teachers’, students, curriculum designers, The Ministry of Education, and to other researchers. These recommendations aim to employ the strategy of self-regulated learning by teachers, students and curriculum designers to help the students improve their English language skills. Keywords: English language; self-organized learning; seventh graders.

The data were collected from the Palestinian Monetary Authority and yearly financial reports of individual banks. The panel data regression analysis was used for data analysis. Results: Results of the study indicated that credit risk measurement had a statistically significant impact on the profitability of CBs but an insignificant impact on IBs' profitability. Liquidity had a significant impact on the profitability of CBs but an insignificant impact on IBs’ profitability. Profitability had a significant impact on CBs’ liquidity but an insignificant impact on IBs’ liquidity. Credit risk had a statistically significant impact on IBs’ liquidity but an insignificant impact on CBs’ liquidity. Recommendations: Based on the study results, the researcher suggests that the government develop Islamic systems to support Islamic banks and make a balance between liquidity and profitability through efficient management. For future studies, the researcher recommends conducting more research on the subject of the thesis using other measurements.
