Authors: Haitham Abdulwahhab Mohammed  , Dahlan Nuarrual Hilal Bin Md , Isa Yusramizza Binti Md 
Published: August 2023

Objective: This study seeks to analyse how the New York Convention for the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitration Awards can be applied to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitration awards in petroleum disputes in Iraq.

Theoretical framework: Iraq acceded to the New York Convention in 2021. Iraq placed the commercial reservation, meaning that the Convention applies only to differences considered commercial under Iraqi laws. There is a great jurisprudential difference in determining the legal nature of petroleum contracts in Iraq. Thus, the Convention may not apply to these differences resulting from the petroleum contracts in Iraq. So, several studies from the literature have been used as a theoretical basis for this research.

Method: This study is based on the doctrinal legal research methodology. Both primary and secondary data are used.

Results and conclusion: The results indicate no specific rule in determining the nature of petroleum contracts. It is concluded that the Convention may not be applied to enforcing international arbitration awards in petroleum disputes in Iraq. Thus, it is necessary to reconsider the commercial reservation set by Iraq.

Research implications: This study will help international oil companies know the extent of applying the New York Convention to the enforcement of international arbitration awards in Iraq.

Originality/value: Improving the legal system for enforcing arbitration awards will create a friendly environment for arbitration in Iraq, which will help attract investment in the oil field.

Published: August 2023

Purpose: development of a generalized model for the protection of critical infrastructure objects from the destructive action of an air attack.

Theoretical framework: based on the analysis of the use of cruise missiles with radar correlation-extreme algorithms to damage critical infrastructure objects in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war, a generalized model of the protection of critical infrastructure objects from the destructive action of an air attack has been developed.

Methods: determined by a set of solved scientific and research tasks and carried out using: methods of system analysis - during studies of the distribution function of the electronic subsystem; numerical modeling methods - when studying the main electrophysical properties of critical infrastructure objects.

Results and conclusions: a generalized model of the protection of a critical infrastructure facility against the destructive action of air attack tools has been developed, which allows for the assessment of risks and their management. The developed model can quantify uncertainties, simulate potential scenarios and assess the impact of various factors on the level of risk. This allows decision makers to make informed choices and develop strategies to mitigate risks.

Finding implication: the research carried out in the article makes it possible to develop a mathematical model for ensuring the protection of critical infrastructure objects from the destructive impact of various types of air attack means.
Uniqueness /value: a mathematical model of the protection of a critical infrastructure object from the destructive effects of air attack provides a powerful basis for understanding, predicting and optimizing air defense, contributing to progress in various fields and enabling evidence-based decision-making.

Published: August 2023

Objective: The objective of the scientific investigation was to determine the relationship between the preventive tax audit in the refunds linked to the general sales tax of exporting companies in the province of Tambopata, Peru. Method: The quantitative approach was considered, of a non-experimental type, with a descriptive and correlational design; considering a sample of 66 exporters from a universe of 80 to whom we applied two instruments, the first with 2 indicators and the second with 11, valid, with an alpha of 0.911 and 0.920 respectively. The statistical analysis was considered through the Pearson Chi square test and through a multiple linear regression. Results and conclusion: It were determined that the relationship between the preventive tax audit with the balance in favor of benefit, the perceptions not applied of the IGV and the excess or undue payments, is a high positive correlation. In view of the fact that, in the event of a 1% increase in the balance in favor of benefit matters, then the preventive tax audit will increase by 61.22%; if the non-applied IGV perceptions by the taxpayer are high, then the preventive tax audit will increase by 3.91%; and if the excess or improper payments increase by 1%, then preventive tax audit will increase by 15.47%. Finally, there is a high positive relationship between the preventive tax audit and the refunds linked to the IGV of the exporting companies of the province of Tambopata, since a Pearson correlation of 0.6957 was found. Implications of the investigation: The investigation shows an application of the theory to reality in the subject of the preventive tax audit in the returns linked to the general sales tax, the same that was carried out to the exporting companies of the province of Tambopata; all this in view of the fact that taxpayers and companies, when seeking to obtain greater economic profitability, avoid developing contribution actions with the State, since it is an obligation; That is why the supervisory and tax administration entities exercise the role of inspection, inspecting, investigating and controlling compliance with tax obligations. Originality/value: there are few investigations that analyze the relationship between the preventive tax audit with the refunds related to the general tax of the companies that are dedicated to the export of goods and services; which deserves to promote further investigations by types of exportable goods from Peru to the international market.
