Inaugural Emirati-Russian Psychology Dictionary Released in Fujairah
Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination (ZHO) has made a groundbreaking move by launching the Emirati-Russian Psychology Dictionary, the first of its kind not only locally but also regionally and globally. This initiative is a result of the fruitful strategic partnership between ZHO and Ural Federal University in Russia, with a focus on enhancing collaboration in the fields of psychology and psychiatry.
The dictionary is designed to meet the knowledge needs of learners in Arabic and Russian and aims to achieve specific educational goals. The launch event saw participation from various local UAE entities, including UAE University, the General Headquarters of Abu Dhabi Police, Government Empowerment – Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Media Network, Abu Dhabi Public Health – Department of Health, and the Statistics Centre.
Abdullah Al Humaidan, the Secretary-General of ZHO, expressed his delight at the successful launch of the dictionary, calling it a pioneering achievement for the organization. He emphasized that this initiative aligns with the organization’s forward-thinking approach towards education and research in the field of psychology.
Al Humaidan highlighted the lack of a specialized and comprehensive scientific dictionary in both Arabic and Russian languages when it comes to psychological concepts. He pointed out the challenges faced by researchers and translators in the field of psychology due to the absence of such a resource. Therefore, the Emirati-Russian Psychology Dictionary serves as a reliable reference for translation processes and scientific research, filling an important gap in the literature.
The launch of this dictionary opens up opportunities for the exchange of expertise between the UAE and Russia in the realm of psychological sciences. It promotes internationalization in education, fosters cross-cultural cooperation, encourages collaborative research and educational activities, and facilitates better communication among psychology professionals in Arabic and Russian-speaking regions.
The Emirati-Russian Psychology Dictionary is not just a mere collection of words and definitions; it is a valuable scientific tool that enhances understanding and communication between Arabic and Russian-speaking individuals. It plays a crucial role in supporting educational and research endeavors by providing clear explanations of psychological terms and concepts, allowing for the exchange of knowledge across different cultural contexts.
Moreover, the dictionary contributes to the social and cultural significance of psychology in both Emirati and Russian societies. By offering psychological terms and concepts in Arabic and Russian, it aims to raise public awareness about mental health issues and improve psychological care within these communities. Recognizing the importance of the Russian language in the field of psychology, the dictionary strives to provide accurate translations and interpretations of Russian concepts, enriching the knowledge base and promoting scientific exchange.
In conclusion, the launch of the Emirati-Russian Psychology Dictionary marks a significant milestone in the field of psychology, paving the way for enhanced collaboration and knowledge sharing between Arabic and Russian-speaking communities. This initiative not only benefits learners and researchers but also contributes to the overall advancement of psychological sciences on a global scale.
