The Malaysian Experience in Development and Peace
type: item
description: The Malaysian political system offers a leading model in the management of pluralism, as it succeeded in forging an institutional environment that has absorbed ethnic and religious complexities and turned them from causes of conflict into tributaries of national enrichment . The importance of the research is highlighted in highlighting the pragmatic approach of political leadership, specifically during the era of Mahathir Muhammad, which has overcome structural crises through 'developmental engineering' and balanced political stability and steady economic. While growth the solutions were absent from similar international experiences, Malaysia was able to find a realistic path that rejects theoretical idealism and adopted gradual solutions, leaving the country with civil conflicts and achieving an economic boom that put Malaysia in the ranks of major emerging countries. The study concludes that the essence of Malaysian success lies in 'managing difference' as a tool for comprehensive development and resilient national integration.

Guarantees for the Collection of Tax Debt in Iraqi Law: A Comparative Analytical Study
type: item
description: Everyone strives to achieve legal and social justice through the balanced application of laws, guaranteeing the protection of rights and preventing the abuse of power, particularly about taxation, which is one of the most important sources of state revenue. To achieve this goal, it was necessary to ensure the proper implementation of tax law provisions by providing reciprocal legal safeguards to achieve a balance between the interests of the administration and the financial authority in collecting tax debt, and the rights of taxpayers to be protected from arbitrary collection of these debts or abuse of power in this regard The research problem lies in questioning the adequacy of the legal guarantees stipulated in tax legislation to achieve a balance between the tax administration's powers to collect taxes and the protection of taxpayers' rights, particularly concerning the confidentiality of tax information and enforcement and collection procedures. This research aims to clarify the nature of these legal guarantees established for the implementation of tax law provisions, analyze their role in protecting taxpayers on the one hand, and enabling the tax authority to collect public revenues efficiently on the other. It also aims to clarify the guarantees related to the protection and confidentiality of tax information, the judicial authority of tax officials, prior notification procedures, and the enforcement and precautionary guarantees associated with tax debt collection. The research is based on the premise that clear and balanced legal guarantees contribute to strengthening tax compliance, reducing instances of administrative abuse in tax collection, and curbing tax evasion, thereby ensuring the fair and sound implementation of tax law provisions. The research reached a few conclusions, most notably that the tax legislator, through the enactment of legal guarantees, seeks to achieve a balance between protecting the state's financial resources and safeguarding taxpa…

The Activity-Based Costing Techniques to Managerial Decision Improvement
type: item
description: This study applies the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) technique in the Midland Oil Company (a state-owned enterprise) to examine its role in supporting economic decision-making. The aim is to determine the cost of producing a barrel of oil and to rationalize such costs based on systematic approaches. The research addresses the problem of relying on unsystematic costing methods, which has led to unreliable data, higher uncertainty in decision-making, and a noticeable increase in oil production costs across the Iraqi oil sector. These challenges are attributed to the absence of modern managerial practices and the lack of adoption of advanced cost management techniques, resulting in significant resource waste, particularly with unutilized associated gas, The study is built on the hypothesis that adopting activity-based costing improves cost system outputs and supports managerial decisions. Findings show that the company does not classify its activities in line with strategic cost management techniques, leading to inequitable cost allocation and difficulties in tracing costs. However, applying ABC enabled the identification of field-specific activities, elimination of non-value-adding costs, and better resource utilization. Consequently, the company reduced its total production costs by IQD 70,796 million, representing an 8.49% decrease, through the removal of economically unproductive activities.

Synthesis and Characterization of Indole-Based Azomethine Compounds and Investigation of Their Dielectric Properties in Polyvinyl Alcohol Films
type: item
description: The following study reports on the synthesis of a series of organo-Schiff bases (M1–M5) through condensation reactions between indole-3-carboxaldehyde and various aromatic and heterocyclic amines such as 4-aminoacetophenone, 2-aminobenzothiazole, 2-aminothiazole, 2-aminopyridine, and 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR and ¹H-NMR techniques for confirmation of the proposed structures. Since these compounds do not form stable films in the solid state, they were incorporated into a polyvinyl alcohol matrix, and composite films were prepared using the solution casting technique to study their electrical properties. The measurements revealed that all composite films are characterized by a decrease in the true dielectric constant (ε′) with increasing frequency, whereas both imaginary permittivity (ε″) and alternating current conductivity (σ(ac)) increase with increasing frequency. The results also indicated that the electrical properties depend on the molecular structure of the Schiff base compounds. Among them, the film containing compound M4 showed the highest values of dielectric permittivity and conductivity, while the M1 and M2 films showed the lowest values of dielectric loss and conductivity.

type: item
description: Introduction: Thyroid diseases rank as the second most common endocrine disorder worldwide, after diabetes mellitus. Thyroid hormones are essential for growth, neuron development, reproduction, and energy metabolism, influencing the metabolism of all substances, including minerals. Numerous studies have shown that thyroid issues often disrupt mineral metabolism. This study aims to measure serum zinc and magnesium levels in individuals with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and to correlate these levels with serum Triiodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4), Free T3 (FT3), Free T4 (FT4), and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Methods: The study included twenty individuals with hypothyroidism, twenty with hyperthyroidism, and twenty with normal thyroid function as controls. Blood samples were collected to measure serum T3, T4, FT3, FT4, and TSH using the autoanalyzer method (minividas), while serum zinc and magnesium levels were measured using spectrophotometry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 25 software, employing independent sample t-tests for means and standard deviations, with a significance level of 0.05 (P value). Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationships between the markers. Results: The results showed that serum zinc and magnesium levels were significantly lower (p<0.001) in individuals with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism compared to controls. There was a notable positive correlation between zinc and magnesium levels and thyroid hormones T3 and T4. In hypothyroidism, a negative correlation with serum TSH levels was observed. In hyperthyroidism, zinc and magnesium levels negatively correlated with T3 and T4 but positively correlated with TSH. No significant correlation was found between serum zinc and magnesium levels and FT3 and FT4 levels. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that mineral metabolism is altered in thyroid dysfunction, and dysregulated zinc and magnesium metabolism can lead to various metabolic diseases. Early pre…

Study of reducing fuel acidity inside the boiler of power plants using PentoMag and reducing the percentage of toxic emissions
type: item
description: Corrosion of steam boilers in fuel-fired power plants poses a significant operational and economic challenge, primarily caused by the formation of acidic gases during fuel combustion. The aim of this investigation is to examine the effect of PentoMag (supplied by Pentol Renewable Energy Projects) on fuel behavior and its role in mitigating boiler corrosion at the Wasit Power Plant, Unit 6. The experimental work extended over eight weeks, during which the pH of ash solutions, free acid levels, and concentrations of emitted gases (SOx and CO) were systematically analyzed. The results revealed that, prior to treatment, the pH values of the ash solutions were strongly acidic (1.99–2.3), which directly contributed to corrosion caused by the formation of sulfuric acid inside the boiler. After adding the treated material, pH values increased to 3.8–4.2, reflecting a shift toward a less aggressive acidic medium. Likewise, free acid concentrations dropped significantly from 5.8 - 6 to negligible values (0–0.0040). Gas analysis further confirmed the positive impact of the treatment, with carbon monoxide concentrations reduced from 17–33 ppm to 4–12 ppm, and sulfur oxides decreased from 168–189 ppm to 49–90 ppm. Overall, the application of PentoMag as a fuel additive demonstrated apparent effectiveness in mitigating fuel acidity, reducing harmful emissions, and enhancing boiler efficiency and lifespan, offering a practical solution for sustainable operation in power plants.

type: item
description: Cadmium is an environmentally toxic metal, and epidemiological studies have confirmed that exposure to it originates from various environmental sources. Study investigates the effect of cadmium chloride on uterus in rats and newborn livers and kidneys. Twenty female rats, aged 6–8 weeks and weighing 200–250 g, were divided into two groups. Group A received distilled water, while Group B received oral CdCl₂ at a dose of 40 mg/kg/day via gastric gavage, five times per week. The first day after birth, the kidneys and livers of the newborns were collected, while the non-pregnant rats were sacrificed after 35 days to collect the uterus for routine histological examination. Histopathological examination of newborn kidneys revealed mild granular degeneration and a little necrosis of lining cells of renal tubules while livers showed a similar histological feature to control group. The uterus revealed marked hyperplasia of the endometrial epithelium with noticeable multiple glandular cyst formations and marked mitotic figures of the glandular lining cells, along with many tissue macrophages laden with hemosiderin. The study showed that exposure to oral CdCl₂ affected female rats; approximately 80% of the cases were non-pregnant. Meanwhile, 20% of the pregnant females showed a decrease in the number of newborns. Examination of the newborns’ kidneys showed several changes, while the livers were similar to those of the control group.

The Role of the Compliance Officer in Auditing Compliance to Meet the Requirements of the Central Bank of Iraq
type: item
description: The Central Bank of Iraq is one of the supervisory bodies over private banks, as it seeks to preserve the banking system through a set of tools, the most prominent of which is the creation of the position of Compliance Controller, which is part of compliance controls, and mandated banks to appoint personnel to monitor the implementation of its circulars based on its letter No. 9-3-346, dated 20-8-2019 “Sharia Compliance Report and Compliance Monitoring”, which takes it upon itself to follow up on the bank’s commitment to the instructions and decisions issued by the Central Bank and the Board of Directors, in addition to providing advice and consultation in order to correct violations, if any, to avoid being exposed to financial and administrative penalties. The study sought to demonstrate the impact of this function and the procedures it undertakes, which could affect a bank's exposure to penalties for non-compliance with requirements. An inspection form was used to verify compliance with the requirements specified by the Central Bank of Iraq. At the end of the study, the research reached a set of conclusions, the most prominent of which is that the compliance officer in banks, as one of the bank’s departments within its organizational structure, has specific justifications. These include contributing to avoiding legal penalties on the bank and preventing financial losses and risks to the bank’s reputation. Banks face many and diverse risks due to their business and activities. Among these risks, which have notably increased in recent years, are legal penalty risks, reputational risks, and economic loss risks. These three risks are referred to as compliance risks.

The Possible Association of Adenovirus – 36 Infection with Obesity, DM – I and DM – II in some Groups of Iraqi Patients
type: item
description: Obesity, DM-I, and DM-II are considered major health problems and life threats for some groups of people. Many studies have revealed that the prevalence of Adv36 infection in 30% or more in the obese adult population and dramatically human adenovirus-36 (Adv36) upregulates distal insulin signaling in vitro and in vivo studies. The current study aimed to explore the association of Adenovirus – 36 infections with obesity, DM-I, and DM-II in some groups of Iraqi patients, and according to our knowledge, in Iraq, there is no published study on this topic. In total, 90 serum samples of three age groups of patients were distributed as 45 samples of patients with DM-I and another 45 samples of patients with DM-II. The presence of Adv36 Abs in serum was determined by using the “Qualitative Human Adenovirus 36 Antibody (ADV36Ab) ELISA Kit”. The prevalence of Adv36 positivity was higher in DM-II as (31.1%) followed by DM-I which estimated as (21.1%) in significant differences compared with the negativity (p< 0.05). Furthermore, that positivity was paralleled with the increase of obesity prevalence as (12.2%) in obese class I patients had been with DM-II (p< 0.05). In addition, the Adv36-positive serology test was more associated with (8 – 25) of age interval and patients with obese class I (p< 0.05), even more in females compared to males with significant differences (p< 0.05). The current results showed an association of Adv-36 antibodies existence with obesity and particularly it has been associated with overweight. Furthermore, Adv-36 positivity was related to DM-II patients first then followed by DM-1 for the Iraqi patients. Finally, our results give the warning to evaluate the issues with more highly efficient laboratories and clinical techniques to confirm the real role of Adv-36 as a co-factor with obesity in obese and diabetic Iraqi patients.

An Enhanced Manta Ray Foraging Algorithm with Lévy Flight and Heuristic Operator for Efficient Scientific Workflow Scheduling in Cloud Environments
type: item
description: Scientific workflow scheduling in cloud environments is challenging due to the dynamic availability of resources and interdependence among tasks. This article presents a novel hybrid solution—namely Lévy-Heuristic Manta Ray Foraging Optimization Algorithm (LH-MRFOA)—to tackle these challenges. The suggested approach incorporates Lévy flights into the classic Manta Ray Foraging Optimization (MRFO) to enhance global exploration and introduces a heuristic dependency management operator for task assignment optimization and wait time minimization. Comprehensive experimentation on benchmark standards (Inspiral, CyberShake, Montage, SIPHT, and Epigenomics) validates that LH-MRFOA consistently outperforms traditional meta-heuristics (GA, PSO) and variant MRFO enhancements in minimizing makespan and operational cost. These findings recognize LH-MRFOA's potential for large-scale, data-heavy applications requiring timely and affordable use of resources in modern cloud data centers.

The Relationship Between the Immunological Markers and the Effects of Ascorbic Acid in Patients with Celiac Disease
type: item
description: Background: Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion, resulting in intestinal inflammation, villous atrophy, and systemic complications. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a potent antioxidant that may help mitigate oxidative damage and modulate immune responses in CD. Aims of the study: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ascorbic acid on immunological markers in CD patients. Materials and Methods; A total of 36 blood samples from CD patients and 50 healthy controls were analyzed. Immunological markers, including anti-gliadin antibodies IgA and IgG (AGA-IgA, IgG) and anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA and IgG (tTG-IgA, IgG), were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Redox activity was assessed pre- and post- Blood treatment with ascorbic acid using cyclic voltammetry. Results: CD patients exhibited significantly higher levels of AGA-IgG (149.13 ± 58.40 pg/mL vs. 4.41 ± 3.87 pg/mL, p ≤ 0.0001), AGA-IgA (107.89 ± 83.18 pg/mL vs. 4.53 ± 4.22 pg/mL, p ≤ 0.0001), tTG-IgG (96.81 ± 84.76 pg/mL vs. 2.60 ± 3.02 pg/mL, p ≤ 0.0001), and tTG-IgA (139.22 ± 74.36 pg/mL vs. 3.52 ± 2.97 pg/mL, p ≤ 0.0001) compared to controls. ROC analysis confirmed high diagnostic accuracy of AGA and tTG markers (AUC ≥ 0.95). Correlation analysis demonstrated that ascorbic acid modulates redox activity and immune responses in CD patients. Conclusions: This study highlights ability to reduce oxidative stress of ascorbic acid in CD and stabilize immune responses. Further research is warranted to establish ascorbic acid’s clinical application in CD management.

The Ripple Effect of Plastic Pollution: Environmental and Public Health Perspectives: A review
type: item
description: Plastic pollution is a major issue of the current century. This waste is found in seas, freshwater, lakes, rivers, coastal areas, and soil. In this article, this article discusses the various sources of plastic pollution, including the manufacturing process of plastics and the addition of materials to improve their properties, as well as the use of single-use plastics that are not recyclable, in addition to burning and illegal waste disposal in the open. The impact on public health is through human exposure to toxins from plastics in the environment directly through inhaling dust and fumes, consuming contaminated food and drink, and skin contact. Indirectly, when marine creatures consume microplastics, they will find their way into our diet. Recycling plastic waste and using bioplastics is one solution to alleviate this problem, but consideration must be given to reducing overall plastic consumption.

description: Many patients, particularly the elderly, disabled individuals, those infected with COVID-19, and people living in isolation, require immediate care to prevent life-threatening situations in medical environments. Real-time monitoring ensures safe patient surveillance, enabling quick responses to emergencies. This paper presents the design and implementation of a real-time monitoring system that utilizes Arduino, mobile phone devices, and IoT-enabled biomedical and environmental sensors to measure heart rate, SpO2, body temperature, air quality, humidity, and detect falls. Wireless communication facilitates the placement of sensors anywhere, enabling real-time notifications via IoT and mobile networks. Arduino, Android Studio, and XAMPP are integrated into the proposed system’s architecture, overcoming the limitations of previous systems by providing greater flexibility, portability, and accuracy. The biomedical sensors were validated against medical-grade devices and demonstrated high accuracy. Heart rate readings showed a 98% correlation, SpO2 levels had an average error of less than 2%, and body temperature measurements deviated by only ±0.3°C compared to standard clinical thermometers. Additionally, the environmental sensors effectively monitored air quality and humidity, issuing alerts upon detecting significant deviations. When anomalies in air quality occurred, the system successfully generated emergency notifications with a 95% accuracy rate in identifying hazardous conditions.

Synthesis and Characterization of Bi2O3: Sb Nanostructured Thin Films Prepared by Chemical Spray Pyrolysis Method
type: item
description: In the present work, thin films of undoped bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) and bismuth oxide doped with antimony ( Bi2O3: Sb) were deposited on glass substrates by using the chemical spray pyrolysis process. We prepared the films with various weight percentages of antimony (0, 3, 5, 7, and 9 wt%). Throughout the experiment, the substrate was maintained at a consistent temperature of 380°C for the deposition operation. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of antimony doping on the structural and optical characteristics of the Bi2O3 film. We studied the structural and optical properties of the prepared thin films using x-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS). The X-ray diffraction results showed that the prepared films were polycrystalline with a tetragonal structure. Thin films of Sb doped Bi2O3 demonstrated increasing absorption with increasing the concentration of the dopant . The measured energy gap value for undoped Bi2O3 was 3.04 eV. Increasing the concentration of the antimony dopant led to a decrease in the energy gap value (from 3.04 to 2.48 eV). Undoped bismuth oxide and 9% Sb doped bismuth oxide were deposited on porous silicon, as it is used in solar cell manufacturing. The solar cell features were evaluated.
