Authors: Dakhil Yousra Sabri 
Published: November 2023

This study delves into the complex interplay between domestic violence and the institution of marriage within the framework of Iraqi family law, focusing on the rights of wives to seek separation in cases of abuse. The research employs a legal analysis approach to scrutinize the existing legal texts, judicial applications, and their impact on marital relationships. Findings reveal a disconnect between the legislation and its practical application, with judicial discretion often prioritizing family preservation over the well-being of the wife. The study highlights the need for legal reform to explicitly grant wives the right to seek separation in cases of any form of domestic violence and advocates for the criminalization of domestic violence. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of conducting seminars and conferences to comprehensively address domestic violence as a societal issue and calls for increased research efforts in this domain. This research offers a critical examination of the status quo and proposes tangible steps towards safeguarding the rights and well-being of spouses affected by domestic violence within the Iraqi legal context.

Harnessing Multimodal Knowledge Graphs for Enhanced Recommender Systems: Insights from Graph Neural Networks and Attention Mechanisms
Authors: Miller Ethan , Davis Olivia , Williams Samuel , Brown Jacob 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The explosive growth in the amount of information makes users consume information less efficiently, a phenomenon generally known as Information Overload. Recommender systems were created to solve such problems. Today, recommender systems are becoming the core technology of many Internet products. The core problem solved by recommendation algorithms is to replace the user to evaluate the goods or services that the user himself has not consumed and to recommend the goods or services that the user may be interested in to the user. To alleviate the problem of data sparsity, researchers have enhanced the characterization of items or users by introducing the Side Information of the items. In addition to the historical interaction information of the user and the item, the user and the item usually carry some auxiliary information, such as various attributes of the item and the basic information of the user. Reasonable utilization of auxiliary information can effectively alleviate such problems. This paper introduces a novel approach—a graph neural network based on knowledge graphs. This method uses a multimodal knowledge graph to assist recommender systems by converting the multimodal information fusion process in the knowledge graph into an information propagation process on the graph. The neighborhood information is better differentially aggregated through a trainable aggregation approach to obtain a more accurate representation of item node embeddings. In this paper, detailed experiments are conducted on two real recommender system datasets respectively, and the experimental results also show that our method outperforms the current mainstream recommendation algorithms.

Authors: Bansal Hina , Saxena Abhishek , Himanshu  , Singh Pankaj Kumar , Tiwari Archana 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Ecological contamination has been growing rapidly over the past few decades. Bioremediation, a microbial degradation process, is considered to be one of the most ecological and environment safe and financially friendly remediation methods for ecological parts polluted with chemical-based contaminants. Toward this pursuit, the traditional approaches are skimpy, and individuals must enthusiastically think about the current developments in high-throughput ‘omics’ technologies to remove hazardous and highly polluted contaminants from the environment. The sequencing of various microbial genomes and their functional studies along with metabolic pathway reconstruction and systems biology provide strategies to enhance the degradation and decomposition of pollutants. The computational techniques and omics approaches provide genome-based analysis of the microbial genomes including genomics, proteomics, and system biology along with various tools to determine the structural and functional aspects of microbes and their biodegradation pathways. The current chapter gives a deep insight into the status and advances on different computational techniques and omics approaches to enhance the process of bioremediation. It is a great step against the degradation of the environment and restoring natural resources.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Currently, heavy metal contamination has become a greatest challenge because, they are not degradable. They get accumulated in biotic and abiotic environment. Different strategies are being tested to remediate heavy metal pollution; however, an ecofriendly approach to remove them from the environment is much needed. Bioremediation is one such alternative to the conventional method. Among the utilization of plants and microbes for the heavy metal remediation, microbial remediation is found to be cost effective and low waste generating strategy. Many microorganisms acquired different mechanisms to adapt themselves and remove or detoxify the heavy metals. Besides, many biological agents like biosurfactants, can also be utilized for metal removal from an aqueous environment. This chapter focuses on the impact of heavy metal on the environment, different microbes involved in detoxification process, and biotechnological solutions of heavy metal contamination.
Clean production approaches in industries: a case study on pulp and paper production facility applications
Authors: Yildiz Töre Günay , Can Melisa 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The sustainability of life and economy is directly dependent on natural resources, and the effects of the use of these resources are felt on both ecology and the economy. As scarce and valuable resources such as raw materials, energy, and water constitute the basic inputs of the economy as well as life. Resource use not only causes increasing pressure on natural resource reserves and adversely affects the environment, but also affects national and international trade and market prices. The efficient and sustainable use of raw materials, energy, and water by both reducing the impact on the environment and producing more value by using less input also contributes to the sustainability of production and therefore the economy. Especially in the second half of the 20th century, the destruction of environmental values brought about by rapid technological and industrial developments and the rapid decrease of non-renewable resources continue to accelerate today.
The rapid industrialization that started with the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century and the unstoppable increase in the world population caused production and consumption to increase at the same rate. In parallel with the changes in industrialization and lifestyles, the wastes have shown a logarithmic increase over time and the local environmental problems due to these wastes have gained a global dimension. The uncontrolled discharge of these wastes continued for years until it was understood that there was a limit to the capacity of nature to accept the wastes generated after production and consumption. Thinning of the ozone layer, global warming, acid rain, toxic and hazardous waste discharges in quantities far above the absorption capacity to various natural receiving environments can be counted within this scope. One of the reasons for the increase in environmental problems has been the very high cost of investments based on the end-of-pipe approach to environmental protection. For this reason, over time, industrial organizations have focused on ‘clean production techniques and practices,’ which is an approach to prevent waste at its source. It has been observed that the industries that have started Clean Production Practices and allocate a budget for investments when necessary, amortize this cost in a short time as it saves water and energy from the cost of waste treatment, and therefore the application area is expanding day by day. It has been understood that clean (sustainable) production can be applied to all type of industries, including small and large, regardless of material, energy and water consumption levels. Observations show that this approach offers the potential to reduce resources by an average of 10–15% without costly investments.
Therefore, in this study, the clean production (CP) approaches in different industries will be discussed with details and CP practices of the pulp and paper production facility will be evaluated in this context.

Authors: Rosa Maria João , Campinas Margarida , Silva Catarina , Mesquita Elsa , Viegas Rui M. C. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Population growth and aging, as well as water scarcity driven by climate change call for an enhanced control of organic micropollutants and contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in the urban water cycle, as progressively entailed in the EU and Portuguese legal framework on drinking water, urban wastewater treatment (UWWT) and water reuse. Multibarrier solutions, grounded on current barriers’ improvement, prioritizing low-energy, physical barriers (to minimize byproducts, resources’ use, and carbon footprint) and producing fit-for-purpose water(s) are needed. Activated carbon(AC)-based and hybrid powdered activated carbon/low-pressure membrane processes have proven a huge potential for controlling organic micropollutants in drinking water treatment and water reclamation, but there is room for improving their sustainability and cost-efficiency with process optimization. This chapter aims to introduce the CECs’ problem in drinking water and UWWT and comprehensively explain the potential for controlling CECs using AC adsorption and hybrid adsorption/low-pressure membrane processes, based on our last decade's lab-, pilot-, and full-scale results herein summarized and discussed.
Fungi: a veritable tool for refractory pollutant remediation
Authors: Mudaliar Shivangi , Agrawal Komal , Verma Pradeep 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The rapidly escalating population, urbanization, and industrial development are intensifying problems related to pollution. Soil and water pollution affect the health of organisms and the environment. Remarkable results in environmental cleaning have been obtained through the practice of bioremediation. Bioremediation is a sustainable and inexpensive method for wastewater treatment. Currently, the focus is on having clean technologies that generate less waste, with maximum output. Mycoremediation has several advantages over other bioremediation tools. Fungi are abundantly found in the environment and offer a non-toxic, zero maintenance, recyclable, less invasive, and secure approach for the treatment of wastewater. Fungus and their enzyme systems have been well explored for the degradation of toxic wastes and remediation of polluted sites. The extracellular enzyme system of fungus secretes various enzymes that break down the complex substances into simpler forms. Additionally, it is an in-situ remediation approach that exploits the capability of the fungus to reuse. This chapter deals with the idea of mycoremediation and its mechanism. The role of fungal cell walls in the biosorption, bioaccumulation, and biomineralization of heavy metals has also been discussed.
Eco-efficiency analysis of rainfed and irrigated maize systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Mitrović Ivana , Todorović Mladen , Marković Mihajlo , Mehmeti Andi 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis study evaluated the eco-efficiency of rainfed and irrigated maize production in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Environmental impact assessments were performed through energy, carbon footprint, and water scarcity footprint analysis. For economic analysis, gross and net returns and benefit–cost ratios were calculated. Eco-efficiency was measured by the ratio between the net return and environmental criteria. The findings indicate that the transition from rainfed to irrigated maize cultivation per unit of land results in a 53.7% higher yield and gross value of production, but also a 69.8% increase in energy input, a 22% rise in greenhouse gas emissions, and a 3.6-fold increase in the water scarcity footprint. While a positive link exists in irrigated maize between higher yield and lower carbon footprint per unit of product, rainfed systems outperform in energy efficiency, productivity, profitability, water scarcity footprint, and overall eco-efficiency. Both systems rely heavily on nonrenewable energy sources, with fertilization (affecting energy and carbon footprint), mechanization (affecting carbon footprint), and irrigation (exacerbating water scarcity) as the main contributors to the negative environmental impacts. The implementation of optimization strategies for these inputs is of paramount importance to reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainability in maize farming in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Characteristics, Opportunities, and Challenges of Osteopathy Based on the Perceptions of Osteopaths in Austria: Qualitative Interview Study
Authors: Manschel Jonas , Porthun Jan , Winkler Ulrike , Beuckels Jean Marie A T , Martin David 
Published: November 2023

Background
There are no uniform regulations for the osteopathic profession in Europe. It is subject to country-specific regulations defining who shall be allowed to practice osteopathy and which qualification shall be required. In recent years, legal regulations have been established in several European countries for the profession of osteopathy; however, these are also still pending for Austria. Currently, physiotherapists and physicians with osteopathic training are practicing osteopathy in Austria.

Objective
This study aims to examine the characteristics, challenges, and opportunities of osteopaths in Austria.

Methods
Guideline-based interviews with osteopaths (N=10) were conducted. The different research questions were examined using a qualitative content analysis.

Results
The study provided a differentiated insight into the professional situation of osteopaths in Austria. The most important result was that all interviewees unanimously supported a legal regulation of their profession. However, owing to their different professional self-image—on the one hand, individuals working on a structural basis, and, on the other hand, individuals working on a cranial or biodynamic basis—they were able to imagine a uniform professional regulation only to a limited extent. Additional topics for the interviewed osteopaths in Austria were the quality assurance of training and the urgent need for scientific research. Furthermore, the study also dealt with the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on daily practice and on education and training in osteopathy.

Conclusions
This study is a pioneering study with regard to systematic basic research on osteopathy in Austria. The obtained results and the newly acquired research questions not only have the potential to serve as a basis for further studies but also provide insight into the working and professional situation of osteopaths in Austria for universities, schools, professional associations, politics, and—last but not least—all interested parties.
