Rawad Kareem Salloomi pcadmin — 2025-03-05

Positive psychology issues are among the topics receiving increasing attention in accounting literature. This is due to their impact on managers' behavior when making decisions regarding the disclosure of forward-looking information. However, there is a scarcity of research in this field in developing countries, particularly in the Iraqi context. Therefore, this study investigate the potential influence of the psychological capital (PsyCap) of managers on both the level and tone of forward-looking disclosure (FLD). To achieve this objective, a descriptive analytical approach was adopted. Data were collected using a questionnaire, with a total of 220 questionnaires distributed to a sample of managers, investors, Auditors of auditing firms, and financial analysts in 2024, of which 214 responses were retrieved. The research hypotheses were tested based on the data collected from the questionnaire. This paper reached several conclusions. Companies disclose forward-looking information at varying levels and tones (positive, neutral, negative), as companies often manage this disclosure. There is a significant relationship between three elements of PsyCap (self-efficacy, hope, resilience) and the level of FLD, as well as a relationship between two elements of PsyCap (hope, optimism) and the tone of FLD. This paper recommends that regulators should establish guidelines regarding the level and tone of FLD

THE SUSPICION THAT IMAM HUSSEIN, PEACE BE UPON HIM, THREW HIMSELF INTO DESTRUCTION

Fatimah Saeed Hamzah Al-Khalidi — 2025-03-06

This research deals with the suspicion of "Imam Hussein throwing himself into destruction" that was raised about his uprising against the Umayyad rule in the year 61AH, a suspicion through which some sought to cast doubt on the legitimacy of his revolution and its goals. Some of them linked Imam Hussein's uprising against Caliph Yazid bin Muawiyah with the concept of "throwing oneself into destruction" mentioned in the Holy Quran, where they interpreted his departure as a reckless act that exposed himself to destruction without a legitimate justification. However, this understanding ignores the deep and legitimate dimensions of Imam Hussein's position, which was based on lofty principles and profound beliefs, as his main goal was to revive Islamic values and defend the religion of God against the deviations that the Islamic community witnessed under the Umayyad rule. The research aims to dismantle this suspicion by providing a precise analysis of the legal texts such as the Qur’anic verses and the Prophetic hadiths that can contribute to clarifying the position of Imam Hussein, as well as by relying on the rational principles that govern his actions. The research shows how the Husseini uprising was not a throwing of oneself into destruction, but rather a challenge to injustice and tyranny. Through this, it seeks to highlight the moral and human dimensions of the revolution, which did not aim at destruction, but rather at a radical change in the Islamic reality

MEASURING AND ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF INTERNAL GOVERNMENT DEBT ON SOME INDICATORS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN IRAQ

Hiba AbdulRazzaq Khudhur — 2025-03-15

The research aimed to measure and analyze the impact of domestic government debt on some indicators of sustainable development in Iraq, represented by (Gross Domestic Product (GDP), government spending on education, and government spending on health). This was done using the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) model for both short-term and longterm periods. Semi-annual data for the period (2004-2023) were used, and the research hypothesized that there is both a direct and inverse impact of domestic government debt on some indicators of sustainable development in Iraq. The results of the dynamic interactions in both the short and long term revealed that domestic government debt has both inverse and direct effects on GDP, education spending, and health spending in the short term. In the long term, however, domestic government debt has a direct effect only on GDP and health spending, while it has an inverse effect on education spending. Accordingly, the research recommended that the government diversify funding sources by increasing the issuance of government bonds and attracting foreign investments, while enhancing public debt management to ensure fiscal sustainability. It also suggested strengthening the distributive, service, and mining sectors by improving infrastructure and increasing efficiency, along with improving resource management and directing investments toward projects with high economic and social returns. This would ensure the sustainability of services and promote economic growth in both the short and long term
