Hydraulic Simulation of Suggested Barrage on Shatt Al Arab River to Prevent the Salt Intrusion (Al Seeba as a Case Study)
Authors: Al Obaidi Alaa A. , Al Thamiry Hayder A. , Al-Galibi Mohammed K.
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
The Tide River of Iraq, The Shatt al-Arab River is generated by the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers at the city of Qurna, which is located northern of the Al-Basra Governorate due to climate change and excessive consumption, the flow of the two rivers decreased which resulted in a high percentage of dissolved solids in the river, which caused the river to become salinized as a result of salt wedge intrusion. This study's primary goal is to model the Shatt Al-Arab River's hydraulic response to a proposed barrage in Al Seba to reduce the salinity. In this study, to evaluate the effect of the suggested block dam, a one-dimensional unsteady model was created using HEC-RAS 5.0.7. Four discharge instances, with low and moderate discharges of (20-50-100 and 250 m3/s) and the selected spring tide cycle, were selected. There are four barrage gate cases. (totally open, 50% open, programmed opening, and fully closed) were used in the operation scenarios. The research shows that the examined discharges will significantly affect navigation depths, particularly when gates are programmed to open with stages dropping approximately (0.6 - 1.2) m in comparison to the normal situation. Also, according to the velocity indicators, the barrage's large velocity reduction upstream increased the amount of silt within the river's stream. As a result, a Suggested Barrage is needed on the south reach to avoid salt intrusion.

Connectivity of Discretionary Status in State Administrative Court Lawsuit: Implications After Law Number 6 of 2023 on Amendments to the Job Creation PERPPU
Authors: Risadde Fahmi Rosya , Widiarto Aan Eko , Qurbani Indah Dwi
Published: January 2025

This research aims to analyze the impact of regulatory changes on the handling of discretionary authority within the State Administrative Court (PTUN) in Indonesia. Specifically, it examines how the legal status of discretion as an object of dispute has evolved following the enactment of Law No. 6 of 2023, which amended the Job Creation Perppu. The study focuses on how this legislative reform affects the acceptance and settlement of lawsuits related to discretionary decisions by public officials, as well as the legal boundaries that define which discretionary actions can be challenged in court. Using a normative juridical approach and in particular, this research employs statutory analysis to evaluate relevant laws and regulations, case studies to analyze precedents in PTUN decisions, and a comparative approach to assess differences in discretionary oversight before and after the enactment of Law No. 6 of 2023. The findings show that Law No. 6 of 2023 enhances judicial oversight of discretionary actions by allowing challenges based on both procedural and substantive grounds. It sets clearer limits on discretionary authority, requiring decisions to meet standards of transparency, accountability, and public interest. This reform strengthens the PTUN's role in reviewing not only the legality but also the justification of administrative decisions, offering citizens greater protection against arbitrary discretion and promoting good governance. This research contributes to academic discourse on administrative law by offering specific insights into how Law No. 6 of 2023 impacts discretionary authority and PTUN supervision. It highlights that the law now requires discretionary acts to meet stricter standards, focusing on procedural transparency and substantive justification. For instance, public officials must ensure their decisions align with good governance principles, and PTUN now plays a stronger role in assessing the substance of these actions. This provides legal practitioners with clearer guidelines for handling disputes involving discretion, particularly regarding the balance between decision-making flexibility and citizen protection.

The rapid expansion of globalization has profoundly influenced indigenous cultures, presenting both opportunities and challenges in the preservation and adaptation of traditional ways of life. This research paper explores the multifaceted impact of globalization on indigenous communities, focusing on the erosion of languages, traditional practices, and cultural identities, as well as the strategies employed by these communities to maintain their heritage. Through a comparative analysis of case studies, including the Māori of New Zealand and the Inuit of Canada, this paper examines how indigenous cultures blend traditional practices with modern influences through cultural hybridization, leverage technology for cultural preservation, and navigate political and legal frameworks designed to protect their rights. The findings highlight the resilience and adaptability of indigenous peoples as they negotiate the complexities of a globalized world while striving to preserve their cultural integrity. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for context-specific strategies and continued support from governments, international organizations, and broader society to ensure that indigenous cultures not only survive but thrive in the future.

Published: January 2025

Forecasting plays a vital role in effective planning and decision-making for policy formulation across a variety of fields of life. The Nonlinear models such as the GARCH family, including symmetric and asymmetric generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) models with both normal and non-normal innovations are applied in this study to capture the dynamic and asymmetric features of the two tax revenue series, sales Tax and Direct Tax in Pakistan. Additionally, Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model is used as the mean model. The prime objective of this research is to examine the estimating and forecasting performance of ARMA models along GARCH family models, for the monthly tax revenue series in Pakistan, particularly focusing on symmetric GARCH and asymmetric GARCH models (EGARCH, TGARCH, and PARCH). Empirical evidence based on the application of these models to the selected series reveals that the GARCH family models effectively confine the heteroscedasticity, highlighting the strength of these models. In addition, three distributions, normal, Student-t and generalized error distribution are considered for the residuals. Under the normal distribution, ARMA(5,4)-EGARCH(1,1,2) model is selected as the best model based on minimum values of MAE, RMSE, MAPE, and TIC. In the same way, for the Student-t and Generalized Error Distribution, the ARMA(5,4)-EGARCH(1,1,1) and ARMA(5,4)-EGARCH(1,1,3) models are selected as the best forecasting models for the sales tax series. The ARMA(3,3)-EGARCH(1,1,1) model is selected as the best forecasting model based on the minimum values of MAE, RMSE, MAPE, and TIC for the direct tax series assuming a normal distribution. Similarly, the ARMA(3,3)-TGARCH(1,1,1) and ARMA(3,3)-TGARCH(1,1,1) models are selected as the best forecasting models for the direct tax.
