The study aimed to gauge the extent of learning loss in mathematics and science among the sixth and ninth graders in Bani Obaid directorate of education due to the pandemic disruption. The descriptive analytical approach was used to analyze the study sample results on previously prepared tests and comparing them with the hypothetical average scores of students' results during the last three years. Two science and two mathematics tests were used and applied to a random sample of 128 male and female students in two government schools. The results indicated that there is a learning loss among the study sample in science and mathematics during Covid-19 compared with the hypothetical average scores of students in the last three years, in addition, learning lossestimates were largerformathematicsthanfor science. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended developing a clear system addressinglearning lossesand gaps, bearing in mind that the loss can be different from one student to another and the mechanism triggered may not suit all of them. Further studies were suggested to identify learning losses at other levels and academic courses.

Hotel reviews influence travellers' booking decisions. Research on this topic is focused on the scores or comments given through the reviews. However, no studies have looked into the one-word descriptions associated with the overall scores received by hotels. This study examines this practice by conducting secondary research and identifying the one-word descriptions assigned to the different scores. The results suggest that each website providing average scores and one-word descriptions to summarize the scores uses a different policy to associate one-word descriptions to scores, suggesting lack of consistency. Furthermore, misleading practices have been identified, such as the use of the word 'average' to describe establishments with ratings lower than the midpoint of the scale. The findings have important implications both for the industry and for academia, as they highlight the need for transparent strategies and policies.
