  • Where Tulips and Crocuses Are Popular Food Snacks: Kurdish
    Pieroni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2019) 15:59 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-019-0341-0 RESEARCH Open Access Where tulips and crocuses are popular food snacks: Kurdish traditional foraging reveals traces of mobile pastoralism in Southern Iraqi Kurdistan Andrea Pieroni1* , Hawre Zahir2, Hawraz Ibrahim M. Amin3,4 and Renata Sõukand5 Abstract Background: Iraqi Kurdistan is a special hotspot for bio-cultural diversity and for investigating patterns of traditional wild food plant foraging, considering that this area was the home of the first Neolithic communities and has been, over millennia, a crossroad of different civilizations and cultures. The aim of this ethnobotanical field study was to cross-culturally compare the wild food plants traditionally gathered by Kurdish Muslims and those gathered by the ancient Kurdish Kakai (Yarsan) religious group and to possibly better understand the human ecology behind these practices. Methods: Twelve villages were visited and 123 study participants (55 Kakai and 68 Muslim Kurds) were interviewed on the specific topic of the wild food plants they currently gather and consume. Results: The culinary use of 54 folk wild plant taxa (corresponding to 65 botanical taxa) and two folk wild mushroom taxa were documented. While Kakais and Muslims do share a majority of the quoted food plants and also their uses, among the plant ingredients exclusively and commonly quoted by Muslims non-weedy plants are slightly preponderant. Moreover, more than half of the overall recorded wild food plants are used raw as snacks, i.e. plant parts are consumed on the spot after their gathering and only sometimes do they enter into the domestic arena.

  • Scope of Mothers' Knowledge Regarding Child Fever
    https://doi.org/10.15218/ejnm.2019.18 Erbil j. nurs. midwifery, Vol. 3, No. (2), Nov 2020 Original Article Scope of Mothers’ Knowledge Regarding Child Fever Management in Ranya City, Iraq Kurdistan Region Blend Muhammad Ameen; Department of Nursing, College of Nursing, University of Raparin, Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Correspondence: ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Background and objective: Children’s caregivers around the world are often unaware of the level of body temperature that indicates a fever. The way that they deal with a fever- ish child is sometimes incorrect or inappropriate. This study aimed to assess the mothers’ knowledge regarding fever management of a child under the age of five. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study was carried out in Ranya in the Kurdistan Re- gion of Iraq in 2018-2019. A purposive sample of 120 participants was initially selected from the mothers who attended two Primary Healthcare Centers (Kewarash and Paparin) in Ranya. The questionnaire was utilized as a tool for data collection, and both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistical data analysis included frequencies, percentages, and mean scores and the inferential sta- tistical data analysis provided mean scores and Chi-square. Results: A total of 110 mothers participated in the study after the exclusion of 10 women. The findings showed that 76% of participants did not know which measurement is the best to measure child temperature, 82% were not sure about the best place to take child’s temperature, and 63% did not have knowledge about what temperature is consid- ered to be a fever.

OVERVIEW This report is based on the findings of a scoping visit to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq carried out by English UK in early February 2012. Members of the English UK delegation included Senior International Manager, Jodie Gray, and members of the Board of Directors, Richard Day (also Director of English in Chester) and Steve Phillips (also Director of Internexus - Regent’s College). The visit was funded by UK Trade & Investment and organised by the Kurdistan Regional Government UK Representation. We are grateful for the support, guidance and assistance offered by both these organisations, without which the scoping mission would not have been possible. We would particularly like to acknowledge the individual contribution of Nawal Karim at the KRG UK Representation who went to great efforts to arrange the programme in a short space of time. During the visit, the English UK delegation met with the Presidents and senior staff of four leading universities, the region's main study abroad agents, business leaders, British government organisations and officials responsible for the region’s Human Capacity Development Programme, which is spending $100m each year on higher training for university graduates and government staff.
