The psychological significance of embroidery stitches is considered one of the most important factors that affect the building of personality, especially children. The clothing is the first basis on which this brick is built.Therefore, the research experiment was based on determining what are the psychological implications of the colors of hand embroidery stitches by unleashing renewed thinking during the implementation of children’s clothing with stitches Diverse embroidery and displaying these clothes to expert professors specialized in the fields of clothing, textiles, art education and psychology. The objective of the research experiment is to identify the psychological implications of hand embroidery stitches and their effect on the child when implemented on children's clothing. The research experiment was applied to a number of (25) executed pieces and embroidered them in a distinct and technical manner, then the executed pieces were judged by specialized professors through an evaluation card for the executed pieces.The results of the research experiment indicated achieving proportionality between the shape and the floor and fixing the color of the floor, which led to achieving balance, unity and sovereignty in the designs proposed for implementation, which confirms the significance of the stitches used as decorative units to enrich the aesthetic aspect of the executed clothes, and that the availability of color homogeneity and the employment of some stitches in the style of the symbol in a degree High, which confirms the hypotheses of the study. The results were also good in some designs, which indicates the acceptance of the idea by the professors specialized in the field of psychology, clothing and textiles, to translate the stitches of some hand embroidery stitches into plastic designs for decorating children's clothes in an image that fits the spirit of the age

Indicators are essential instruments to identify environmental problems, their analysis and evaluation, to set priorities, and to monitor trends and temporal changes in the environmental conditions. They are important tools to follow policy performance, and to measure progress towards achievements to of specific objectives. Indicators are used in Integrated Environmental Assessment (IEA) reports since they provide decision-makers with simplified and relevant information about the conditions and trends of the environmental issues of interest, which also helps to monitor and assess environmental policies. Indicators also enhance the level of public awareness about the environmental issues without dealing with the complicated specific data and statistics. The objective of this research is to make visible the most important (Core) environmental indicators relevant to (WEHABC) themes, which include (Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture, (and Land), Biodiversity, Marine and Coastal Ecosystems), since they are the most significant themes that constitute Integrated Environmental Assessment Reports. This step has been performed by use of DPSIR model (Driving force, Pressure, State, Impacts and Responses), to synthesize and analyze the interrelationships between human activities, environmental eco-systems and their environmental, social and economic impacts and the social responses to mitigate these impacts. The matrix of environmental indicators relevant to WEHABC themes were discussed, scrutinized, and finally selected through a number of activities organized by the United Nations Environmental Programme/Regional Office for West Asia (UNEP/ROWA) during 2003-2004. For each selected indicator, a methodology sheet was proposed that shows the theme, the issue, the definition, unit of measurement, type of indicator, purpose, significance and relevance, methodology of description, linkage to other indicators, alternative definitions, and sources of information and references. The main finding of this study indicates that it is vitally important to use environmental indicators to monitor and assess the trends and conditions of the environment in the Arab Region and its outlook. It is important not only at the regional base, but also at the national and local levels, to enable countries of the region to periodically prepare environmental assessment reports of shared environmental issues of interest. Such exercises can contribute to and facilitate the formulation of environmental strategies and initiation of future sustainable development policies for the Region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
