This research discusses the concept of human suffering in David Benatar's philosophical work Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence It explores Benatar's argument that coming into existence can be considered a harmful condition According to Benatar, human life inevitably involves pain and suffering The study also discusses Benatar's antinatalist philosophy and his view that the absence of pain is good even if there is no one to experience that good, while the absence of pleasure is not bad unless there is someone who is deprived of it By analyzing these ideas within the framework of pessimistic philosophy including the views of the Buddha, Arthur Schopenhauer, and Emil Cioran—this research aims to clarify Benatar's understanding of human suffering and the philosophical basis of antinatalism, as well as his argument about existence The study also seeks to provide a clearer understanding of the debate surrounding suffering, existence, and the value of human life.

This study aims to analyze the impact of the strategic lens on the entrepreneurial orientation of organizations on a sample of managers in private commercial banks in the city of Baghdad. The importance of the study lies in the scarcity of research that dealt with strategic lenses and their role in the entrepreneurial trend in banks. Where this study dealt with the problem of the complexity of the internal and external environments of the organizations that contributed to creating problems and obstacles in the implementation of the strategy, with the lack of understanding or understanding of this issue by managers in private banks. The field study tool was the questionnaire to collect information by individual, which represented the number of retrieved questionnaires out of questionnaires distributed to the managers working in the research sample banks, as the results of the study confirmed the existence of an impact of the strategic lens on the pioneering orientation of the banks investigated. This indicates that the approach of the strategic lens has a fundamental role in achieving the entrepreneurial orientation in the surveyed banks, and the study recommended several recommendations, the most important of which is that the managers of organizations should be motivated by change and try to look at the strategy through a set of lenses to accurately assess situations, and that organizations should Those who want to be successful in entrepreneurship should have an entrepreneurial orientation.

This investigation is intended to explore the effect of the digital environment as well as perfectionism during the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety and depression. The study used a mixed-methods design; a mixed research methodology was used regarding explanatory design by using a qualitative sub-sample from quantitative sample data. The researcher conducted the study on a sample of 980 students and non-students smartphone and internet users using both qualitative and quantitative approach. Three different questionnaires were used: The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Beck Depression, and Beck Anxiety Inventory. On the other hand, the researcher designed a self-reported interview for the qualitative part that included 5 major questions and 10 sub-questions. The gathered data were investigated using SPSS version 22 to analyze the collected data for this study, and simple descriptive statistics and coding were used. The results denote that the digital environment is significantly correlated with multidimensional perfectionism in a low positive manner for students. However, the correlation effects for non-students are significantly high as evidenced by a significant positive correlation. Another finding suggests that there is a positive significant association between perfectionism and being depressed and anxious.

Here, a novel conservative chaotic oscillator is presented. Various dynamics of the oscillator are examined. Studying the dynamical properties of the oscillator reveals its unique behaviors. The oscillator is multistable with symmetric dynamics. Equilibrium points of the oscillator are investigated. Bifurcations, Lyapunov exponents, and the Poincare section of the oscillator’s dynamics are analyzed. Also, the oscillator is investigated from the viewpoint of initial conditions. The study results show that the oscillator is conservative and has no dissipation. It also has various dynamics, such as equilibrium point and chaos. The stability analysis of equilibrium points shows there are both stable and unstable fixed points.
