بين حاضر التجربة الحزبية وماضيها سياسياً وقانونياً في ظل الأنظمة المأزومة التي عرفها العراق، حاولنا أن نناقش من خلال هذا البحث عدداً من الإشكاليات المرتبطة بالتجربة الحزبية لبلد متعدد دينياً وعرقياً وذات ولاءات سياسية مختلفة، وبعد غياب القانون وإنتكاسة الدولة الدستورية حل بدلها أعراف نظام الحزب الواحد عُرف بالإستبدادية السياسية. وقد إنفتح العراق فجأة بعد أحداث عام 2003 على الممارسة السياسية التعددية، فسعى الفرقاء السياسيين الجدد بسلوكياتهم السياسية والطائفية إلى اقتناص الحصص من غنيمة الدولة العراقية الناهضة من ركام الاستبداد والحرب، ورافق ذلك غياب الرؤى السياسية الاستراتيجية ونقص في التشريعات، ونتيجة ذلك الفراغ التشريعي لتنظيم عمل الأحزاب السياسية في العراق مما جعل اموال واستقرار وأمن الدولة العراقية في خطر كبير، ولعل قصة الفساد المالي والإداري وقصة سقوط مدن غرب العراق وسقوط عشرات الشهداء من المدنيين يومياً على يد الإرهاب دلائل مختزلة عن الخطر الذي رافق التجربة الحزبية بغير قانون. وجاء قانون الأحزاب السياسية الجديد رقم (36) لعام 2015 النافذ في 11/12/2015 لينظم فوضى عمل الأحزاب السياسية وينهي حالة التداخل بين ما هو عمل حزبي اوليغارشي وبين ما هو تنظيم مدني حضاري، وتجريد كل حزب من أي مظهر عسكري، رغم تضمن القانون المذكور عدة ثغرات قانونية سنحاول الإشارة إليها.
اثبات العيب في المنتجات الخطرة

إن المنتجات الخطرة وما جرى من خلاف بصددها لوضع تعريف خاص بها، يمكن تعريفها بانها المنتجات التي لا يتوافر فيها عنصر السلامة والامان والتي من شانها احداث ضرر للشخص المستهلك وان كان هذا الضرر مستقبليا وهي بذلك تختلف عن المنتجات الخطرة بطبيعتها، ولكي تتم عملية الاثبات بصددها يجب ان تتوافر الاركان الثلاثة وهي العيب والضرر والعلاقة السببية بينهما ولما كان من غير المنصف ان يقع اثبات هذه الاركان على الشخص المضرور، فقد القى المشرع مسؤولية اثبات العيب على القضاء كما ان هذا الاخير له ان يمنح المضرور بعض القرائن القانونية لإثبات الضرر والعلاقة السببية بينهما، كل ذلك لعدم كفاية الادلة التي تناولها القانون لإثبات ما يعتري تلك المنتجات من عيب فهي تحتاج إلى ادلة اخرى تجاري التطور الحاصل في مجال التقدم والتكنلوجيا.
لجان مناهضة التعذيب ودورها في حماية حقوق السجناء
Authors: عائد عدنان أحمد , فاضل حسين أحمد
Published: May 2023

أكدت الاتفاقيات الدولية لحقوق الإنسان على أنشاء لجان أو أجهزة رقابة دولية خاصة بها، فكل اتفاقية من الاتفاقيات الدولية لحقوق الإنسان انشأت جهازاً أو لجنة دولية لمراقبة مدى تطبيقها وتنفيذ نصوصها واحكامها من جانب الدول الاطراف فيها، ومدى احترام هذه الدول لحقوق الإنسان وحرياته الواردة في الاتفاقية. ومن تلك الاتفاقيات، المواثيق الدولية المتعلقة بمناهضة التعذيب، إذ إن التعذيب يهدف إلى افناء شخصية الضحية وانكار الكرامة الكامنة لدى الكائن البشري وأن تعرض السجين لأي نوع من انواع التعذيب يعد مساساً بحقه في السلامة الجسدية، ويشكل خطراً على حياة السجين، إذ لا بد من توفير الحماية لهذه الفئة من التعذيب عن طريق تلك اللجان الدولية وما تمارسه من اختصاصات.
الحماية الدستورية لحق التنوع الثقافي في العراق
Authors: فاضل حسين أحمد
Published: May 2023

يعد الحق في التنوع الثقافي من الحقوق التي بدأـت الدساتير تحرص على ايرادها في نصوصها الدستورية او في ديباجتها نظرا لأهمية هذا الحق، فهو الذي يؤكد على رغبة الشعوب في العيش المشترك واحترام الاخر المختلف في الدين او اللغة او العرق...الخ. وهذا الحق مثله مثل بقية الحقوق يحتاج الى حماية من الاعتداء عليه من قبل سلطة الدولة بإهدار هذا الحق او انتهاكه او افراغه من محتواه الذي اكد عليه الدستور، وخير حماية لهذا المبدأ هي الحماية الدستورية فالدساتير اصبحت اليوم هي الملاذ للإفراد في حمايتهم من انتهاك السلطة لحقوقهم وحرياتهم، فالدساتير اصبحت تصاغ صياغة مفهومة لجميع الافراد ومن خلالها يستطيع كل شخص ان يتعرف على حقوقه وحرياته. واذا تأملنا في دستور العراق 2005 نجده قد سار على خطا الدساتير الديمقراطية الحديثة إذ اكد من خلال نصوصه على مفهوم الحق في التنوع الثقافي من خلال النصوص الدستورية المؤكدة لهذا الحق، والنص في المادة (126) على الاجراءات المعقدة في تعديل الدستور ووضع حظر موضوعي على النصوص الدستورية المتعلقة بالحقوق والحريات بعدم جواز تعديلها الابعد فترة زمنية باعتباره نوع من الحماية الدستورية. اما بالنسبة إلى سلطات الدولة فنجد ان دستور 2005 قد وزع الاختصاصات بين السلطات الثلاث فمنح السلطة التشريعية الصلاحية في تشريع القوانين المتعلقة بالحق في التنوع الثقافي، وفعلا قامت السلطة التشريعية بإصدار القوانين المتعلقة بهذا الحق، اما بالنسبة للسلطة التنفيذية فمن خلال وزارات الدولة والدوائر التابعة للأمانة العامة لمجلس الوزراء قامت بعملها في توفير الحماية لحق التنوع من خلال اجرائتها، كما ان السلطة القضائية المتمثلة في المحكمة الاتحادية العليا ومن خلال رقابتها على دستورية التشريع سوف تلغي كل قانون يشكل انتهاكا للحق في التنوع الثقافي. كما اوجد الدستور المفوضية العليا المستقلة لحقوق الانسان كهيأة مستقلة تراقب الانتهاكات التي يمكن ان تقع في الحقوق والحريات ومنها الحق في التنوع الثقافي.

Published: May 2023

The usage of vegetal fibers coming from the wood of planted forests as a source of cellulose for paper production, has placed Brazil in a prominent position in the worldwide economic scenario, being that one of the best alternatives of value aggregation to this natural material. This research has evaluated the potential of three woody species of occurrence in the Cerrado, a Brazilian Biome, as a source of alternative raw material to alien species, nowadays widely used in Brazil for the pulp and paper industry. Wood radial samples of Cedrela fissilis, Cecropia sp. and Genipa americana with 12 years of age were collected in a peri-urban are of the city of Goiânia, through the non-destructive method, for the study on fiber’s morphology and basic density. With the data obtained it was possible to determine the felting index, coefficient of flexibility, wall fraction and Runkel index, for fibers qualitative evaluation. The careful evaluation of the results – and the detailed comparison with other species – made it possible to affirm that only the wood of Cedrela fissilis and Cecropia sp. had had potential for the proposed objective. Therefore, relevant aspects for the complementation of this research are pointed.

O entendimento de usinabilidade passa pelo estudo de fenômenos de formação de cavaco, qualidade superficial, mecanismos de desgaste de ferramenta e a influência de parâmetros de corte no material usinado. Com a crescente demanda da indústria moderna para materiais com melhores propriedades e melhor usinabilidade, as ligas Al-Sn tornam-se interessantes devido às suas características para aplicações tribológicas. Neste trabalho, foi realizada a análise da usinabilidade da liga Al-10%Sn solidificada direcionalmente em um dispositivo horizontal refrigerado à água sob condições transientes de extração de calor, correlacionando a rugosidade média (Ra) com a macroestrutura e microestrutura de solidificação (espaçamento dendrítico primário). No processo de torneamento, os corpos-de-prova da liga foram submetidos ao sangramento à seco em diferentes posições. Os resultados experimentais são representados por meio funções do tipo potência, que indicam o decréscimo da rugosidade com a diminuição do espaçamento dendrítico primário.

The Mediterranean Diet has long been regarded as one of thepromising strategies for the prevention of cognitive impairmentand Alzheimer's disease. Aim: This study aimed to determinethe association between adherence to a MedDiet and the riskof cognitive impairment (CI) among the elderly in Morocco.Due to their complete data, a sample of 172 (56.4% men) from 237 subjects were included in our study. Cognitive functions were assessed by the MMSE test (Mini-Mental State Examina- tion). Adherence to a MedDiet was assessed using a validated questionnaire based on weekly consumption of the seven main MedDiet foods: non-refined cereals, potatoes, fruits (whole or in juice), vegetables (cooked or as salad), legumes, fish, olive oil, and three foods consumed less frequently in a MedDiet: red meats, poultry, and full-fat dairy products. A binary logistic regression was performed, with cognitive function as the dependent variable MedDiet adherence score as well as the aliment consumption frequency associated with CI in the bivariate analysis as an independent variable.The binary logistic regression adjusted for confounding vari- ables revealed that adherence to a MedDiet is not associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment (ORa= 0.928; 95% CI; [0.831-1.037]) (ORa: Adjusted Odd Ratio; 95% CI: 95% of Confidence Interval). However, only Olive Oil consumption was a protective factor against CI (ORa= 0.882; 95% CI; [0.815-0.953]).

Published: May 2023

Internet addiction has been identified as a major mental health problem, particularly among young nursing students. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and Internet addiction in this population.This study adopts a descriptive, quantitative, and correlational approach among 388 nursing students enrolled in a Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques in Morocco. The Internet Addiction Test (IAT), the Big Five Inventory (BFI) were used. A student-test was used to compare the differences in Internet addiction between different categorical groups. Pearson correlation was used to determine correlations between Internet addiction and personality traits. Linear regression analysis was performed to explore the effects of independent variable groups on Internet addiction.The overall prevalence of Internet addiction was 68.3% (AI > 30). There were significant differences in Internet addiction by age group (p = 0.001), gender (p = 0.004), grade (p = 0.003), and reasons for using the Internet (p = 0.004). Neuroticism ( = .493, p < .05) and extraversion ( = .479, p < .05) were positive predictors of Internet addiction, whereas agreeableness ( = -.461 p < .05) and conscientiousness ( = -.395, p < .05) were negative predictors.Personality traits are critical contributors when designing individualized intervention strategies that contribute to the prevention and reduction of Internet addiction in nursing students.

The Effects of Homeownership on Social Capital
Authors: Akbar Ryan Aldiansyah , Hartono Djoni , Aritenang Adiwan Fahlan
Published: May 2023

Access to homeownership is becoming increasingly limited due to various factors related to a decline in social capital, including sense of stability, security, and community attachment. This study examined the relationship between homeownership and social capital in Indonesia at the household level while addressing endogeneity and heterogeneity issues. This research used panel data from the IFLS-4 and IFLS-5 surveys, employing a fixed-effect regression model with robust standard error and instrumental variables. The study found that homeownership significantly impacts social capital in Indonesia. Furthermore, the effect of homeownership differs between Java and non-Java households and between urban and rural households. The study also identified other significant influencing factors of social capital, such as household size and monthly income. It is concluded that policies aimed at increasing homeownership may positively impact social capital in Indonesia. This research has provided evidence of the heterogeneity of the effect of homeownership on social capital based on geographical location and household characteristics, suggesting that policymakers should develop policies to meet the specific needs of each group to maximize the positive impact of homeownership on social capital.

A holdújév évzázadok óta az egyik legjelentősebb ünnep Ázsia távol-keleti térségében. Kialakulását és elterjedését Kínából származtatják, mivel a kínai kultúra az alapja a kelet-ázsiai (beleértve Dél-kelet- és Belső-Ázsiát is) területeken. A holdnaptárt követve egész Kelet-Ázsiában erre alapozzák ünnep napjaikat, melyek közül az egyik legjelentősebb az év első ünnepnapja, a holdújév megünneplése. Jelen írás a vietnámi és koreai holdújév összehasonlító elemzéséről szólt. A jövőben is a két ország kultúrájának hasonlóságát, különbségét szeretném vizsgálni.
A mozgás szerepe a buddhizmus gyakorlatában
Authors: Cser Zoltán
Published: May 2023

Széles körben elterjedt elképzelés, hogy a Buddha tanítását követők legfontosabb gyakorlata az ülő meditáció, ahol a cél a szabadulás útjában álló folyamatok leállítása. Ugyanakkor, ha kicsit mélyebbre hatolunk a gyakorlatrendszerek világában (ami a szűkös és nehezen elérhető források miatt nem is olyan egyszerű), akkora felszín alól előbukkannak a sokszor titokban tartott fizikai mozgásgyakorlatok, légzőgyakorlatok, recitációs technikák vagy mantra-gyakorlatok, valamint a tudati vizualizációs technikák széles skálája. Arról nem is beszélve, hogy a szertartások maguk is a mozgásos meditációk részeinek tekinthetőek. A cikk bepillantást nyújt a mozgásgyakorlatokvilágába, és a Buddha feltételezhető fiatalkori képzésétől kezdve – a terjedelmi korlátok figyelembevételével – bemutatja a théraváda, mahájána, zen, tantra és dzogcsen tanításokon keresztül a ma is elérhető mozgásrendszereket.

The Dissemination of Metaverse from an Embodied Perspective and Its Shift Towards Human Physicality
Authors: Xi Wan
Published: May 2023

The Metaverse is a digital society that seamlessly merges reality and virtual, where users take the form of digital avatars. As the Metaverse evolves, user consciousness may detach from physical bodies and exist autonomously in the virtual world. The Metaverse’s dual nature, both virtual and real, strengthens individual consciousness, but it can also lead to a dissolution of practicality and cognitive subjectivity. This prompts a reconsideration of the evolution of human nature, as the maturity and evolution of the Metaverse not only changes the fundamental structure of human existence but also alters corresponding methods of communication.

The rise and fall of the “Massively Open Online Courses”
Authors: Laaser Wolfram
Published: May 2023

The paper summarizes the actual debate about “massive open online courses” (MOOC), a concept that swept over like a “Tsunami” to European educators and universities since its first development in 2008. The definition of the so-called MOOCs, also referred to as a “disruptive educational innovation”, however, is not very precise and has led to some irritations and scepticism. Therefore, the ideas MOOCs rely on, will be described and the pedagogical and technological background will be explained by detailed descriptions of concrete examples. After setting the scene, the factors responsible for the initial hype about MOOCs will be analyzed as well as the upcoming criticism raised against the arguments of the MOOC proponents. The model of the Gartner hype cycle serves as a useful illustration of the ups and downs of expectations related to the introduction of educational innovations. The discussionwill be supplemented by a brief flash back on prior developments in distance education. Furthermore, some recent empirical data retrieved from Google Trends are presented to underline that MOOCs are already on the descent. Finally, the conditions for a survival of some specific applications of MOOCs at “the plateau of the cycle of expectations” will be outlined. In conclusion, MOOCs seem to have promoted, especially in the US, the use of online teaching and learning as well as the reflection about open educational resources. However, the blurred definition of the term MOOC combined with exaggerated expectations turned down the initial hype about a “disruptive innovative concept of teaching and learning” to a more modest consideration of its potential.

Published: May 2023

The diagnosis of TB can be confirmed by microscopic examination of smear on the sputum of the patient. However, because this method requires very expensive equipment, it is difficult to implement it in health facilities with simple facilities. Therefore, the Ziehl Neelsen staining method is a fairly simple method of choice and provides high sensitivity and specificity. In the research of Eka Kurniwan, et al. 2016, from the results of examining 40 samples with the Molecular Rapid Test (TCM), 16 people (40%) were found to be positive. The research objective was to know Mycobacterium tuberculosis through sputum examination through Ziehl Nelssen's acid-resistant bacteria staining and Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) of Puskesmas Dempo Palembang based on volume, odor, color and consistency. This type of research is a diagnostic test with a cross sectional study approach. Population and sample of 85 patients. The sampling technique in this study is using the total sampling method. Conclusion There is no effect based on volume, there is an effect based on the smell, color and consistency of sputum, there are differences in the results of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through sputum examination through Ziehl Nelssen's Acid-Resistant Bacteria Staining and Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) at Puskesmas Dempo Palembang.

Published: May 2023

Introdução: A Atenção Primária à Saúde é a responsável pela coordenação do cuidado e por realizar a atenção contínua da população que está sob sua responsabilidade. Por sua proximidade e vinculação com a comunidade e conhecimento sobre os principais problemas do território, a Estratégia Saúde da Família apresenta maior resolutividade das demandas de saúde, reduzindo, assim, a sobrecarga nos serviços de média e alta complexidade. Para avaliar se a Atenção Primária à Saúde tem desempenhado seu papel com efetividade e qualidade, são necessários instrumentos capazes de verificar de maneira simples e concisa tal situação. Um deles é o de Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária. Objetivo: Analisar os motivos de internação por condições sensíveis à Atenção Primária à Saúde em Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul, no período de 2015 a 2021. Métodos: Estudo ecológico de série temporal, com abordagem quantitativa e característica descritiva. Os dados foram coletados do Sistema de Internações Hospitalares do SUS e utilizou-se o programa Pacote Lista Brasileira de Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária no programa R, o qual faz a conversão dos dados de todas as internações por município de referência por meio da Autorização de Internação Hospitalar. Para análise dos dados, a pesquisa foi dividida em dois eixos: clínico-epidemiológico e aspectos demográficos. As causas de internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária foram baseadas na lista do Ministério da Saúde. Resultados: As internações sensíveis à atenção primária representaram 22% (14.083) do total de internações do município de Gramado. Houve mais internações do sexo feminino (54,1%), quando comparado ao masculino (45,9%). Os três principais grupos com maior porcentagem de internação por condições sensíveis à atenção primária foram as doenças pulmonares (18,4%), seguidas de insuficiência cardíaca (17,6%), infecção no rim e trato urinário (14,7%). A faixa etária com maior prevalência foi a de usuários com 60 anos ou mais (57,6%), seguida à de 20 a 59 anos (30,7%) e à de 0 a 4 anos (6,7%). Conclusões: Os resultados do comportamento das internações em Gramado nos anos analisados apontam uma redução da proporção delas em relação ao total de internações no município, mas quando avaliadas as taxas padronizadas por sexo e população do município, há uma estabilidade dessas taxas ao longo dos anos analisados.
Alternativloses Climate Engineering?
Authors: Wittstock Felix
Published: May 2023

Does civil society accept deliberate climate interventions? This book shows how NGOs have reacted to climate engineering (CE) proposals. Thus, it helps to understand an increasingly important climate policy controversy.
The study is based on qualitative social research and informed by sociological systems theory. It suggests NGOs do not treat the speculative option of CE primarily as a technological risk that triggers protest. Rather, they observe CE as a potentially consequential debate. They anticipate a societal dynamic through which CE becomes what many already see it as today: an indispensable tool in the fight against anthropogenic climate change.

With around 3000 watercolours and drawings, Hermann Hesse did not only leave behind his literary work but also an extensive visual oeuvre, which is comprehensively analysed in this study and put into a biographical, contemporary and art history context. Unlike literary studies’ previous consideration and assessment of visual art as the—predominantly therapeutic—sideline of a writer, this book examines developments and influences in Hesse’s visual oeuvre, its background and motivation as well as its correlations with his work as a writer.
Stabilization of a Quantum Equation under Boundary Connections with an Elastic Wave Equation
Authors: Dridi Hanni
Published: May 2023

The stability of coupled PDE systems is one of the most important topic because it covers realistic modeling of the most important physical phenomena. In fact, the stabilization of the energy of partial differential equations has been the main goal in solving many structural or microstructural dynamics problems. In this chapter, we investigate the stability of the Schrödinger-like quantum equation in interaction with the mechanical wave equation caused by the vibration of the Euler–Bernoulli beam, to effect stabilization, viscoelastic Kelvin-Voigt dampers are used through weak boundary connection. Firstly, we show that the system is well-posed via the semigroup approach. Then with spectral analysis, it is shown that the system operator of the closed-loop system is not of compact resolvent and the spectrum consists of three branches. Finally, the Riesz basis property and exponential stability of the system are concluded via comparison method in the Riesz basis approach.
Electrochemical Detection of Heavy Metals Based on Nanostructured, or Film-Modified Paper Electrodes
Authors: Sánchez Calvo Alberto , del Carmen Blanco Lopez María
Published: May 2023

Heavy metals have a huge impact on the environment due to their toxicity and bioaccumulation capacity. A great variety of methods can be used to the determination. The electrochemical methods are one of the best options due to their sensitivity, selectivity, and rapidness. They are based on the use of electrochemical cells made of different materials depending on the analyte to determine. An eco-friendly cheap option that has earned big importance is paper-based electrodes, which are formed by a cellulose matrix modified with conductive inks. Carbon ink is the most used, and it can be modified with nanoparticles to increase sensitivity. Alternatively, metallic surfaces or “films” such as mercury or bismuth can improve the determination of heavy metals because of their interactions with the film. This chapter focuses on the methods to determination of heavy metals based on their affinity with different nanomaterials or films on low-cost electrode substrates.

Performing Music on Stage: The Role of the Hippocampus in Expert Memory and Culture
Authors: Neuhaus Christiane
Published: May 2023

This overview chapter discusses memory functions from the viewpoint of the performing arts. ‘Playing music by heart’ is taken as an example to illustrate the role of the hippocampus in acquiring and expressing expert memory. Many more aspects depend on hippocampal mechanisms beyond declarative memory, for example, motor sequence learning, phrase boundary processing, and time-precise sequence recall. In consequence, changes in size and/or functional activity also occur in the hippocampus, known as hippocampal plasticity. Whenever the to-be-remembered items have to be stabilized even further, certain mnemonic strategies are effective, of which the oldest is the (hippocampal-based) method of loci, using visuospatial imagery. Mnemonic techniques also play a role in ethnomusicology. For example, North Indian tabla players combine drum patterns with certain onomatopoeic syllables to keep on track when performances last over hours. The value of memory processes is also discussed from a sociocultural perspective. Since priests, teachers, heads of tribes, and many others are explicit carriers of internalized knowledge, they help preserve oral traditions and culture. A special emphasis is on the accurate memorization of the Quran in Arabic, revealing that internalized sacred knowledge acquired through learning by rote can serve as a moral compass for the individual.

Authors: Mhadhbi Mohsen , Abderazzak Houyem , Avar Barış
Published: May 2023

Natural titanium dioxide (TiO2) occurs in three distinct polymorphs (rutile, anatase, and brookite). Currently, TiO2 gained the attention of several researchers around the world. TiO2 is used in several applications because of its excellent properties (structural, optical, electrical, chemical, non toxic, etc.). Thus, the applications are influenced by its surface, size, morphology, and crystal phase. TiO2 as photocatalyst is widely used in energy and eco-friendly applications involving water purification, hydrogen production, phenol degradation, etc. The novelty of the present chapter lies in explaining the recently reported methods that are used to synthesize TiO2 nanoparticles, such as sol-gel, hydrothermal, precipitation, etc. The different properties of TiO2 are also provided in this chapter.
