Dr. Zainab Kamel Kareem (one of the center’s members) who talked about the importance of pen  As it relates to education and learning, God Almighty said (Nun, by the pen and what they write), God Almighty swears only by great matters, and when He swears by the pen and the book, it is only to spread knowledge and knowledge by which souls are guided and minds are opened to draw from the sciences of the Holy Quran. The pen was and still is the common writing tool, and the first thing that began was from tree branches, where the Sumerians used it. It is a pointed pen that they made from small branches after trimming them and making them into pens suitable for writing on soft clay tablets. Then the reed pen appeared among the ancient Egyptians, and it was made from hollow tubular trunks from bamboo plants by cutting one end of this tube at an angle, then filling the reed trunk with writing fluid. Types of pens developed, so the feather pen appeared and was used for a long period from the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century. By the fifties of the nineteenth century, half of the world’s pens were made in Birmingham. After that, the fountain pen began to appear, and the first to invent it was The Romanian Petrache Bonaro, who obtained a patent for the first fountain pen with an ink barrel in 1827 AD. Pens continued to develop until the pencil, ballpoint pen, and others appeared. In conclusion, the director of the center thanked the lecturer, wishing her continued success in serving our university and our beloved

The Center  OF the Heritage Revival organizes a workshop Iraq is the Land of the First craft

Under the supervision of Professor Dr. Alaa Nafia Jassim, (Director of the Center), the Center for the Revival of Arab Scientific Heritage at the University of Baghdad organized , a workshop entitled (Iraq is the Land of the First craft) where sited on Monday corresponding to 5th /27/2024, in the hall of Professor Nabila Abdel Moneim, with the presence of a number of professors and researchers, The lecture was presented by Dr. Amna Fadel, Director of the Iraqi Museum Library, speaking about cuneiform writing, the most important major cultural achievement achieved by ancient Iraqi man, as it comes at the top of the material evidence of cultural maturity in Mesopotamia. If it had a great role in establishing the foundations of the recorded history of humanity, it also left a great impact on the entire human civilization. If it were not for it, man would not have been able to record his science, knowledge, and heritage and pass it on to generations.

Writing was invented in southern Mesopotamia, as it was not the only achievement, but there are many cultural achievements that coincided with the invention of writing, such as various arts such as sculpture, architecture, seal making, etc. The role of Uruk was clearly defined around the year 3000 BC. There is evidence that indicates that the cuneiform script spread in an early era outside Mesopotamia, almost two centuries after the appearance of writing in Sumer around 3200 BC. What is known among specialists as (proto elamite writing), which dates back to the Jemdet Nasr era in Iraq, appeared in the city of Khuzestan Susa, the capital of neighboring Elam. In conclusion, the center director thanked the lecturer and wished her continued success.organizes a workshop

Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim with a research entitled (Dr. Matti Aqrawi and his role in developing education)defining Dr. Matti yousif Hanna Aqrawi He is a prominent academic and author in the field of education He was born in 1901 in the city of Mosul and completed his studies there He obtained a doctorate in 1934 in philosophy from Columbia University in the United States of America He played a major role in developing education in Iraq, as he contributed to modernizing and developing the educational system, in addition to his role in establishing the University of Baghdad. He was one of the members of the committee approved by the Council of Ministers in August 1942. He was one of the most vocal supporters of the university project and was at that time Dean of the Teachers’ Home. The high .A Council of Ministers decision was issued on May 25, 1946 establishing the University of Baghdad. Dr. Matta Aqrawi found that the establishment of the University of Baghdad was to prepare a free cultural study, aid research, scientific progress, and spread culture. They may explain that the idea of establishing the university is based on gathering the existing faculties, unifying their systems on sound foundations, and making it an organization independent of the administration of the Ministry of Education. On August 5, 1957, the Council of Ministers initially approved the appointment of Dr. Matta Aqrawi as President of the University of Baghdad. Thus, he assumed the major responsibility with the assistance of his fellow members of the Constituent Council from October 5, 1957 until June 19, 1958.

Under supervision by prof. Dr. (Alaa Nafea Jasim , the director of the center , the center of heritage revival organizes seminar entitled (the way of society treating with people with special needs / women as a model) the first research entitled ( the role of girls of special needs in society /students as modal)  is presented by prof. Dr. Leqaa Shaker Khattar The lecture focused on how democracy in any country is measured by the cultural, social and economic level reached by women in general and women with disabilities in particular and the extent of their participation in political life and political decision-making. As a result of the male authority that societies have known, including Iraq, history has witnessed various types There are multiple forms of discrimination against women that differ from one country to another, and this has prompted women in Iraq to demand their rights, especially the right to education, employment, and equality in treatment according to special regulations that are afforded to girls with disabilities and the material guarantees that are afforded to girls. Then a lecture by Dr. Rasha Karim Ali, a teacher at our center, and the title of her research is (People with special needs and the disabled in Iraq between reality and challenges) Speaking about people with special needs, God Almighty created human beings with different levels of health and abilities, and He made each of them need the other. The term “people with special needs” was applied to those who lack one of the senses that affects their lives, instead of the word “disabled” because of its impact. Negative effects on them, and interest in this deprived group of people has increased recently, and many countries have resorted to allocating their own organizations that take into account their affairs and meet their needs, such as the United Nations. In the past, such people were viewed in an unfavorable light, and many try Avoid them. There are some families who used to imprison their children. Therefore, they did not find an opportunity for them to live their lives normally, but with the increased spotlight on them, they began to live their lives like healthy people and obtain their full rights. The United Nations has issued charters that guarantee their protection and secure means of a decent life for them, as it is their natural right to enjoy life as people. Healthy people…

The center of heritage revival organizes seminar entitled (Machines for treating weights with small force in the history of science among the Arabs)

Under the supervision of prof. Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center ),the center of heritage revival organizes seminar entitled  (Machines for treating weights with small force in the history of science among the Arabs) where sited on the hall of the center (Nabila A. Almunam) on Monday 13th of May 2024 with presence by professors and researchers ., the lecture is presented by prof. dr. Reyadh Saied Lateef (one of the center’s professors) who talked that Weight pulling machines are of great importance due to their obvious influence on the development of science and technology. Ancient Arab scientists and engineers used these machines widely in various fields such as mechanical engineering and physics.

In the field of mechanical engineering, weight-pulling machines contributed to developing Arab scholars’ understanding of important concepts such as cranes. The scientists studied the effect of forces, movement, and balance on ancient Arab machines for pulling weights, and presented modern mechanical principles and foundations that govern the design and construction of machines.In the field of physics, Arab scientists used machines to pull weights as a means of exploring and understanding the laws of motion and forces. They conducted experiments to measure the force, time, and distance required to pull weights, and used this data to develop theories in the field of dynamics and principles of movement.In short, weight-pulling machines are an important element in the Arab scientific heritage. Contributed to the development of mechanical engineering and physics. These machines were used in experiments, research, and practical applications, and contributed to the greater transfer of scientific knowledge and techniques to the Western world and their contribution to the advancement of science and technology in general.
