On the Fire Hazard of High-Rise Buildings and Skyscrapers
Authors: Taubkin I. S.
Published: August 2024

The article presents an analysis of fire hazard of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. The author notes a range of factors significantly impacting on the course of emergency rescue operations, including the difficulty of evacuating people from the burning buildings (e.g., due to the rapid movement of combustion products to the roof of the building, the duration of the descent down the stairs to evacuation exits, etc.), uncertainty of toxicity (the nature of gases formed during combustion, the synergism of their toxic effect, the determination of toxic dose), difficulties in rescuing people from the upper floors of the building and in the process of extinguishing a fire (due to the lack of necessary fire equipment), as well as the behavior of people caught in a fire in the building. The inadmissibility of using «risk-analysis» in the forensic practice is emphasized, since the correct initial data (linear and mass burning rates) for its calculation is unknown. The article is intended for fire experts of the forensic institutions of various departments, investigators of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and employees of engineering organizations.

Published: August 2024

This research aims to explore the concept of judicial forgiveness in criminal law reform and assess justice in criminal judgments from an Islamic law perspective. The research method used is normative legal research focusing on wrongful conviction without punishment in Islamic law and the new Criminal Code (KUHP). The data was collected through a desk study, in which the researcher analyzed various sources such as books, legal regulations, and academic journals. This research contributes significantly by highlighting the importance of judicial forgiveness in criminal law reform, particularly in achieving holistic justice for victims and perpetrators. By emphasizing human values and Islamic principles, this research presents a comprehensive view of how judicial forgiveness can be an alternative to the compensation system. The research findings emphasize that judicial forgiveness is a crucial step in improving the efficiency of the corrections system, reducing prison overcrowding, and restoring the social balance disrupted by crime. The research proposes that a judicial forgiveness approach can reduce reliance on imprisonment as the sole form of punishment, which is often ineffective and unfair, especially in minor crimes.
Problems Related to the Exercise of Custody Rights in Algeria: Between Legal Texts and Judicial Practice
Authors: Benaichouche Omar , Djillali Bentayeb Djillali
Published: August 2024

This research addresses the problems related to exercising custody rights in Algerian legislation. As one of the critical legal consequences of marital dissolution, custody is crucial for ensuring the child's welfare. Islamic law approves custody, and statutory laws have followed suit, prompting an investigation into the legal issues arising from its judicial application. This study is structured into two main axes: the first examines issues related to alimony and house rent allowance, and the second addresses the challenges of visiting and transporting the child in custody. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, we analyzed rulings and decisions issued by the Algerian judiciary. The study found that while Algerian family law stipulates provisions for custody, many loopholes revealed through judicial practice make these provisions incompatible with Algerian society's social and economic conditions. Our findings highlight the need for legislative amendments to address these discrepancies.

Assessing the Impact of Proposed Regulator’s Construction on Water Quality of Shatt Al-Arab River-Iraq
Authors: Mawat Mohammed Jabbar , Hamdan Ahmed Naseh Ahmed
Published: August 2024

The Shatt Al-Arab River, in southern Iraq, flows southeastwards through Basrah City to the Arabian Gulf. Seven creeks are branched off the river: Jubyla, Muftya, Robat, Khandek, Ashar, Khora, and Saraji, where they are affected by tidal phenomena. The change in the hydrological status of the river over the last decade has adversely affected the quality of the river's water. Urban sewage and industrial wastewater are usually discharged directly or indirectly into the river. The entire river's course is studied, starting at the point where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet in the Qurnah district and extending into the vicinity of the river's estuary. The use of the Shatt Al Arab River in modelling a planned regulator on the river is demonstrated as one of the solutions offered to address the deterioration of river water quality. Results showed a slight increase in organic nitrogen, nitrate, ammonia, organic phosphorus, inorganic phosphorus, and carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand by (4.76, 3.61, 7.23, 4.44, 2.76, and 12.27%), respectively, and a decrease in dissolved oxygen by 2.6% were because of trapping pollutants fed by rivers branches and cleaning process stopping that was caused by the tides. This increase is expected. It does not cause significant harm compared to the benefit expected from constructing the regulator because of the high decrease in total dissolved solids by 30.58% and phytoplankton by 80.7%. In addition, there are government efforts to prevent this pollution by establishing a system of conveyor pipelines to get rid of these pollutants. It is concluded that there is a great benefit to establishing a regulator.

Climate change poses a global challenge with profound repercussions on land cover, particularly affecting areas like Iraq due to decreased rainfall, rising temperatures, desertification, vegetation loss, and reduced river tiers attributable to weather change. This study investigates the impact of climate change on land cover in the Al-Hillah district of Babil province, Iraq, using remote sensing data and satellite imagery from Landsat 5 and 8 through the website of the US Geological Survey from 1995 to 2021. ArcMap 10.8 software program was employed to analyze and visualize these changes. The Al-Hillah district spans an area of 878 km2, encompassing built-up areas, agriculture areas, desert land, wetlands, and river surface areas. The analysis involved Landsat satellite imagery for 1999, 2015, and 2021. The findings display that Hilla District has skilled the outcomes of climate change, primarily manifested in the expansion of desert areas. In 1999, barren land covered 93 km2. It had increased to 183 square kilometers, resulting in rising temperatures and decreased rainfall about 2 degrees below the overall common. It has brought about a reduction in vegetation cover in an area of 196 square kilometers, compared to the year 1999   covered 45.6%.

Authors: Abd-Al Kareem Estabraq , Amer M.Ali
Published: August 2024

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are used in various applications, including industrial, automotive, aerospace, and computers, due to their many benefits. Still, it has some drawbacks, like its cogging torque and torque ripple. A three-phase, 1500-watt, four-pole, inner rotor brushless DC motor was modeled and examined using finite element analysis (FEA) based on Maxwell-2D software to analyze cogging torque at no excitation state and torque ripple at full load condition. Design parameters, including magnet thickness, embrace factor, magnet offset, and initial rotor position, were employed to mitigate their effects on cogging torque and torque ripple. The detailed obtained results will guide BLDC motor designers to select proper values of magnet thickness, embrace factor, offset, and initial rotor position without needing to test many costly produced prototype motors.

Authors: Almuntifeky Dheyaa Marjan Hussein , K. J. Al-shammari Basim
Published: August 2024

The rapid growth of Open Radio Access Networks (Open RAN) necessitates innovative resource management systems to address security and decentralization challenges. This study proposes the use of blockchain technology for enhancing the security, privacy, and decentralized decision-making in Open RAN cellular networks. The research focuses on secure communication between O-DU (Distributed Units) and O-CU (Centralized Units) using blockchain technology, along with smart contracts for O-DU to O-CU mapping, thereby ensuring data integrity and authenticity in resource management transactions. By leveraging a blockchain network and consensus methods, this study aims to validate resource management transactions securely and transparently. Smart contracts enforce resource management rules and adapt O-DU to O-CU mapping based on real-time network conditions. The experimental framework simulates an Open RAN environment with multiple O-DUs and O-CUs under dynamic network conditions and traffic demands, rigorously testing blockchain's security in O-DU to O-CU transactions. This study demonstrates that the proposed solution can improve transaction security, trust, transparency, smart contract automation, reduce resource allocation delay, and increase flexibility to dynamic network circumstances.

Historical Centers: An exploratory comparison of sustainable applications in urban renewal projects – Najaf and Karbala, Iraq
Authors: Al-Shammari Rabee
Published: August 2024

This study examines sustainability initiatives in urban renewal projects in the canter of the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala, two cities of historical and cultural importance to the Islamic world in general, and to the Shiite community in particular. The study aims to evaluate the current situation in the two cities, and emphasizes the different methods for preserving the heritage and enhancing public spaces in the cities of Najaf and Holy Karbala, which were shaped by their unique historical, cultural and urban features. Despite a shared commitment to protecting their historical heritage, these cities face challenges in integrating modern technology and engaging the community in environmental conservation efforts.
A questionnaire was conducted directed to experts to determine development priorities through seven main indicators of sustainability concepts and tested on the research case study. The results showed in the canter of the holy city of Karbala a clear preference for indicators of social integration and suitability of areas open to visitors (between the two holy shrines) with a clear weakness in indicators of preservation and provision of transportation. Public and community participation in development projects. While the results in the centre of the Holy City of Najaf showed a clear preference in maintenance, development, and transportation work for people with special needs, and delegations of visitors, this difference could be due to the nature of the spaces surrounding the Holy Shrine in the canter of the Holy Shrine of Najaf at the expense of open spaces for the residents of the region. The research recommends developing a plan that takes into account sustainability and aims to balance the needs of residents and visitors alike, with a focus on spatial and functional gradation to achieve sustainability requirements within the main research indicators.
Upgrading Global Hypertension Management through Self-Monitoring and a Culturally Adapted BASNEF Model: A Mixed-method Study in a Resource-Limited Setting
Authors: Villarino Resti Tito
Published: August 2024

Worldwide, 1.28 billion adults have hypertension, with suboptimal control rates, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study addresses the challenge of developing innovative, culturally appropriate, cost-effective interventions in resource-limited settings. In this mixed-method study, which was conducted for 10 months in rural Philippines and involved 50 participants, the intervention of SMBP combined with a culturally adapted and modified BASNEF model was evaluated. Participants received home blood pressure monitors and attended five individualized intervention sessions. Primary outcomes measured included changes in SBP and medication adherence using the modified Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. Other secondary outcomes included quality of life assessment using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, cost-effectiveness using the WHO-CHOICE methodology and qualitative experiences. Data analysis was conducted in IBM SPSS Statistics v26 and MAXQDA 2020. A significant decrease in mean SBP was seen from 146.50 mmHg at baseline to 134.92 mmHg at postintervention, with an SD of 19.59 and 15.24, using a paired t-test: p < 0.001. The medication adherence rate increased from 14 percent to 72 percent (p < 0.001). Quality of life scores improved by 22 percent (p < 0.01). The intervention was cost-effective at an ICER of PHP 5,000 per participant, much less than the WHO-CHOICE threshold for the Philippines. Qualitative analysis showed themes that included empowerment, support from family, cultural resonance, habit formation challenges, and benefits perceived by people. This culturally adapted SMBP-BASNEF intervention significantly improved BP control, medication adherence, and quality of life. It thus offers a cost-effective strategy for the management of hypertension in resource-limited settings globally. Hence, this approach could contribute towards attaining Sustainable Development Goal 3.4 by explicitly addressing the rising burden of NCDs in LMICs.
The Role of Dysregulated Ion Channels In Cancer Cells
Authors: Solanki Tanisha
Published: August 2024

Bioelectricity refers to the electric current generated by cells through the movement of ions across the cell membrane. This review analyzes recent revelations regarding the relationship between bioelectricity and metastasis and explores the topic. The objective was to investigate how the dysregulation of ion channels may disrupt the bioelectricity network between cells, causing a change in membrane potential and resulting in metastasis. According to the literature, the high influx of calcium ions into the cell causes depolarization, resulting in abnormal cell behaviors frequently observed in cancer cells. Exploring the role of dysregulated ion channels in metastasis is important to understand how ion channels can be targeted clinically so that new treatment strategies for metastasis can be developed.

Climate change is a major threat to global health. Its effects on physical health are increasingly recognised, but mental health impacts have received less attention. The mental health effects of climate change can be through direct (resulting from personal exposure to acute and chronic climatic changes), indirect (via the impact on various socioeconomic, political, and environmental determinants of mental health) and overarching impacts (via knowledge, education and awareness of climate change). These impacts are unequally distributed according to long-standing structural inequities which are exacerbated by climate change. We outline key concepts and pathways through which climate change may affect mental health and explore the responses to climate change at different levels, from emotions to politics, to highlight the need for multilevel action. We provide a broad reference to help guide researchers, practitioners and policymakers in the use and understanding of different terms in this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field.
Navigating Societal Challenges during Adolescence and Young Adulthood: The Impact on Wellbeing Through Microsystem Mechanisms in the Family Environment
Authors: Green Kayla , van de Groep Suzanne
Published: August 2024

Around the globe, today’s generation of adolescents and young adults appear to experience more mental health problems than previous generations, and it is currently unclear why. Neuroimaging research has revealed vulnerabilities related to adolescents’ brain development, which gives insight into the development of mental health problems in adolescence. Neural changes, as part of normative development, can however not fully explain the rising trends. This paper outlines two important considerations: i) youth are currently dealing with various macro-level changes and ii) these changes are affecting youth through micro-system mechanisms in the family environment. First, the current generation of youth grow up in a society marked by multiple global changes like climate change, wars, poverty, and the aftermath of a pandemic. These macro-level changes can interfere with daily live and subsequently affect how youth feel about themselves, their lives, and their future, particularly through experiences of future uncertainty. Thus, it is important to gain understanding on how youth navigate through challenging times. However, not all youth are affected equally. As such the second focus of this paper is to shed light on which adolescents are prone to negative developmental outcomes. In the present perspective paper, we reflect on adolescence as a sensitive period for mental health problems and give an overview of how the macro-level influences of societal challenges, and micro-level influences in the family environment uniquely contribute and sometimes interact to shape youth’s wellbeing. Additionally, we discuss how providing youth with opportunities for inclusive prosocial actions may improve their wellbeing and elucidate how a more global perspective on studying youth’s wellbeing benefits research and practice.

BackgroundAdolescents in LMICs face heightened risks for perinatal mental health problems due to an abundance of psychosocial adversities and a lack of service capacity. Efforts to develop scalable selective prevention programmes for this group require active involvement from key stakeholders. AimThis study aimed to gain insights into stakeholders’ priorities and preferences for a scalable intervention for common mental problems among perinatal adolescents in Malawi. MethodsParticipatory stakeholder workshops (n=9) were conducted iteratively according to the principles of the Person-Based Approach. Three stakeholder groups were recruited from one urban and one rural primary health centre in Zomba district, Malawi: perinatal adolescents (n=10), their family members (n=8), and healthcare workers (n=10). Framework analysis was conducted using intervention descriptors from the TIDieR checklist Results Participants emphasised the need for information on causes and symptoms of common mental problems, and for developing coping strategies: a) those focused on external stressors – problem-solving, financial literacy and interpersonal skills, and b) emotion-focused approach behaviours – behavioural activation, relaxation, and anger management. There was a strong preference for healthcare workers as intervention providers. Participants agreed on a brief antenatal intervention to be delivered weekly using both group and individual formats. There were positive views on both self-help and guided formats. Importantly, all stakeholder groups felt there was need for follow-up to ensure that adolescents correctly engaged with the intervention material. Hence, a guided self-help format was agreed upon.ConclusionFindings informed the design of a brief multi-component guided intervention for adolescents in the antenatal period.

A Plausible Thermo-Dynamic Cause of an Implausible Psicho-Dynamic Course From The CIA Archive
Authors: Piao Daqing
Published: August 2024

The STAR GATE archive included an experiment from China of psicho-physical claim reportedly conducted on aqueous object (Wu et al, 1991). Over a time-lapse of approximately 208 seconds, total 7 phases of significant temperature deviation from the baseline temperature of 25 °C may be identified, without an explainable source of thermal generation. Not questioning the genuineness of the experiment, this work analyzes the thermal-energy transfer on the test-object that could have caused the reported temperature changes. A non-adiabatic single-compartment produces first-order low-pass responses between a thermal-input and the object’s temperature. Whereas the input determines the steady-state condition, the thermal dissipation dictates the dynamics. Under the assumption of ONLY first-order responses and adjusting the input parameters including DC and AC magnitudes and time-constant of the single-compartment responses, multi-phase temperature changes resembling the reported patterns could be reconstructed. One rising phase and three falling phases with apparent oscillation were reconstructed by considering the thermal input to contain modulatory patterns of 0.4-0.5 Hz in frequency. Such modeled modulation of the thermal inputs would correspond to a correlation coefficient of 0.95 between the DC and AC magnitudes at a varying AC/DC modulation-depth of  94%. The low-frequency may suggest relevance to altered neuro-electro-physiology.
A Series of Past-Life Visions and Intuitive Impressions Surfacing in Middle Adulthood with Behavioral Influences Beginning in Childhood
Authors: Matlock James G.
Published: August 2024

In the wake of several traumatic experiences, a French woman in her early 50s began to have visions and intuitive impressions about seven past lives she felt she had lived. She was able to verify memories of the most recent life and identify the deceased, an American Marine fatally wounded in Vietnam. It then became clear that she had been subliminally influenced by this life in various ways from childhood, most strongly following an NDE at 18. On the eve of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she began to have detailed visions of a Don Cossack who had served in the Imperial Guard of Catherine the Great and Alexander I, dying during Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow in 1812. Although the Cossack story is plausible, it has not been possible to investigate it or to identify the individual involved; nonetheless, here too there are apparent behavioral influences on the subject’s present life. Although the subject recalled the other five lives in fragments only, some of these also seem to have impacted her unconsciously. This study explores the nature of past-life remembering and demonstrates how presumptive past lives may exercise an influence behaviorally, emotionally, and somatically, even in the absence of conscious recall.
Near-Death Experiences are Caused by the Separation of Consciousness from the Body: An NDE Scale Analysis
Authors: Mays Robert , Mays Suzanne
Published: August 2024

Near-death experiences (NDEs) cannot be defined merely as a collection of phenomenal features. An accurate definition needs to describe what NDEs essentially are, that is, what lies behind the phenomenal features. The definition would describe what happens in the experience to account for the different features; this can only be fully described in the context of an underlying theoretical framework. In this paper, we propose the mind entity framework, which holds that a human being is a nonmaterial mind united with the physical body. In an NDE, the mind, or seat of consciousness, separates from the body and operates independently of it until the mind returns to and reunites with the body. From this framework, we identified the nine NDE features from the 16 features of the NDE Scale (Greyson, 1983) that specifically imply the separation of the mind from the body. The five most prevalent of these “separation” features accounted for 98.8% of NDEs in a sample of NDE accounts in the IANDS Experience Registry (N=565). The prevalence of these five “essential” NDE features was repeated in three other large NDE datasets published in the last 20 years. Therefore, an NDE can be defined as a profound subjective experience caused by a person’s consciousness separating from their physical body.

Holistic approach to personalised medicine: A focus on halalopathy
Authors: Alzeer Jawad
Published: August 2024

Halalopathy, a revolutionary healthcare paradigm, aims to innovate personalised medicine by combining medical interventions with individual lifestyle choices, values and energy. This holistic approach recognises the multiple influences on health, including lifestyle factors and environmental aspects. The inadequacy of conventional medicine in addressing the impact of lifestyle and personal values often leads to suboptimal outcomes for patients. Halalopathy applies a comprehensive methodology that combines medical interventions, lifestyle changes and immune system activation to address the root causes of disease and improve overall well-being. Halal-Toyyib principles strengthen the therapeutic alliance and ensure customised interventions and optimal therapeutic results. The placebo effect, the compatibility effect and the synergy effect enhance the effectiveness of halalopathy and lead to remarkable healing results. In summary, halalopathy is an inspiring, personalised and holistic approach that harmonises medicine with lifestyle, optimises therapeutic outcomes and introduces a new era in healthcare.
