Abstract: Production of hydroponics feed involves the growing of plants without soil but in water or nutrient-rich solutions in a greenhouse for a short duration (approx. 7 days). The use of nutrient solutions for the growth of the hydroponic feed is not essential and only tap water can be used. The hydroponics feed is more palatable, digestible, and nutritious while imparting other health benefits to the animals. Feeding of hydroponically produced feed increases the digestibility of the nutrients in the ration, this could contribute to an increase in milk production and productivity of dairy cow. In situations where conventional green feed cannot be grown successfully, hydroponic feed can be produced by farmers for feeding their dairy animals using low-cost devices. Nowadays, several countries are practicing it for their sustainable livestock production. Developing seed culture and new activities in hydroponics reduce production costs and help cooperatives produce and sell. Thus, it is very vital to use hydroponic feed for livestock, which is low cost and highly nutritive. Therefore, this technology is found to be conducive to almost all livestock. Hydroponic feed is a natural product that is produced without the use of any hormones, growth promoters, or chemical fertilizers. There is no pesticide or fungicide, dust or toxic that could contaminate the products of livestock. This technology has a solution to avoid the scarcity of green feed in dry seasons and urban areas having a shortage of land for forage production. Therefore, there is a need to develop specific cheapest material for the production of hydroponics feed under given local conditions. So further studies and development efforts should be made to expand its applications is needed.

Abstract: In terms of incidence and severity, mental health issues among college students are on the rise. At the same time, the number of high school graduates enrolling in colleges and universities is rising, making college a perfect time to address current and emerging mental and psychological issues. Traditional counseling center services, while successful, are not appropriate for all students and require too many resources to satisfy the complete needs of the college population. To meet the growing demand for mental health services among college and university students, innovative strategies are required that are resource-efficient, can reach a broader range of students by overcoming treatment barriers, can effectively address current mental health concerns, and can effectively prepare students for the mental and emotional challenges they will face in today's world. The use of diverse psychoeducational approaches to the treatment of common mental health difficulties, as well as the building of resiliency for the protection against future challenges, is supported by available research. By incorporating psychoeducational approaches into a semester class under the umbrella of psychoeducational resources, this study offers a viable solution to the growing demand for mental health care. This course combines physiological and psychological understandings of stress and stress management, problem-solving, cognitive restructuring, and assertiveness, all of which are effective not only in the treatment of stress but also in the treatment of common mental illnesses like anxiety and depression. This course also includes a set of skills that are compatible with the positive psychology literature on resilience development. Instructors, intervention presentations, intervention modules, and reading, homework, and practice recommendations are all provided and grouped into individual modules to make it easier to adapt to different formats.

Abstract: This article deals with the logistic transportation in the eastern sector of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). After an invasion of Israeli forces into Lebanon, the UN Security Council, in March 1978, established the United Nations Provisional Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), forcing it to confirm the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, restore peace and security, helping the Lebanese government to restore its effective authority in the area. The logistic transport function is responsible for all material and personnel handling in the mission area. The methodology was based on a quantitative analysis of the movements performed by the east sector in the years 2017 and 2018. At the end of the work, charts and tables were elaborated to perform the comparative analysis. The results show that there was an increase of 3.26% (48,700 km) in the distance traveled between the years of 2017 and 2018, in view of the tension escalation in the eastern sector of UNIFIL. From the foregoing, it is concluded that the transport logistics activity in the Eastern Sector of UNIFIL has great relevance for the success of the mission, requiring from the logisticians professional competence based on knowledge of the activity, on the ability to operate the logistical means and on the attitude to solve the problems.

Abstract: The current study aims to identify the concept of morals and education in Imam Al-Ghazali’s thought, and the relationship between the moral structure and education to him. The study adopted the descriptive analytical inductive method. The study concluded that Imam Al-Ghazali found the forces that control the structure and system of morals which are: a. power of thought, b. power of lust and c. power of anger, Al-Ghazali was not satisfied with his attempt to explain these forces, but he also explained how this system works through the work of every force alone. The study found that Imam Al-Ghazali paid attention to education since morals could be changed by education. The study also highlighted the criterion controlling the structure of morals and education which is conscience; even Al-Ghazali didn’t call it by this name. Conclusion: Al-Ghazali believes in a difference of powers, faculties, and preparations, and in cultivating self with all methods he suggested, and he is the educator who started with himself then began to display the conclusion of his thoughts, reflections, and study. Among other important principles is that virtues are a qualitative form of the will that finds its center and example in the characteristics of the Most Beautiful Names of God. Those characteristics are allowed to be adopted in the limits of capacity, and the theoretical knowledge of the behavior science isn’t enough to change from the evil state to the good one but only by the combination of will and determination with cognition since will represents the kinesthetic component of behavior. According to Al-Ghazali, virtue always lies in the middle, because he assumed that the line of virtue and vice is one; so if we are exactly in the middle, we are in virtue, and if we are on both ends of the line, so we are in a vice.
