Home Quarantine and its Socio-economic Impact on the Jordanian Society during Covid-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense suffering in several aspects of human life worldwide. The present study investigates the potential social and economic impacts of Covid-19 on Jordanian society during home quarantine. An online survey was distributed electronically to a sample of (1115) members of the Jordanian society. In the forty-questions, we attempted to examine the impact of the quarantine on the people on the socio-economic level using a 5- point Likert scale. The paper came out with the following findings. First, the members of the Jordanian society are affected more economically than socially; however, Jordanian women are found to be more affected on the social and economic levels. Second, people working in the private sector, daily workers, business owners, retirees and the unemployed are more adversely affected economically than those working in the governmental (public) sector. We offer a set of recommendations, foremost of which is to cease the closure of childcare centres (nurseries and kindergartens) to safeguard womens economic participation and augment its ratio and to safeguard the limited gains of women. In addition, to support the workers in the private sector and daily workers during the pandemic. It recommended conducting further similar studies related to the period of recovery from the spread of the virus to define the requirements for overcoming the repercussions of the pandemic

Approach to Improve Reading Skill of Students with Dyslexia

The purpose of this research is to define and explain the way of learning to read that is effective in increasing the reading abilities of students with dyslexia. The qualitative research technique that was employed in this study consisted of case study analysis. Those who participated in this research had dyslexia as their primary diagnosis. Interviews, observation, and documentation were employed as data gathering methods, with triangulation techniques being used to assess the validity of the information. Data analysis is carried out by the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data gathering, data reduction, data presentation, and final findings. Several methods were combined to create the method used for dyslexic students, including the phonic method, the syllable peeling method, and the language experience method, as well as simplification of reading practice materials and assistance with a verbal explanation of the material from a special assistant teacher for students, according to the findings. As shown by indications of early reading ability, the technique has the potential to increase early reading abilities in dyslexic pupils. Among these skills are the ability to recognize and read letters and letter sounds, as well as the ability to pronounce words correctly and to read sentences aloud and with the correct pronunciation for an extended period

Case Study on the Dissemination of Radicalism on Social Media

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there is a close connection between exposure to radicalism and the quantity of terrorism-related discourse on social media. For this study, responses from local high school students were gathered using a technique called as simple random sampling. The number of samples was determined using the method for proportional stratified random sampling, with a precision value of 10 percent and a confidence level of 90 percent. After applying these settings, a total sample of 93 respondents was generated. The data collection process comprised survey research and literature studies, while the data analysis methodology included single table analysis, cross tables, and hypothesis testing. Due to the fact that the majority of respondents visited social media for less than one hour in total, the results suggested that the impact of social media discourse on broadcast of terrorist actions was minimal. There is a connection between the degree of exposure to radicalism and the impact that terrorist rhetoric has on social media. This connection is weak yet indisputable
