Local Government and Its Relationship with The Central Government In Light of Iraqi Legislations
Get PDFObjective: The study deals with the situation in Iraq after 2003, which is a new stage in the political and administrative history of Iraq after the adoption of the federal system and the transition from the centralization system to the administrative decentralization system, which was explicitly stated in the Iraqi constitution of 2005, and the law of irregular governorates in Region No. 22 for the year 2008. Method: the descriptive approach was used in explaining the concept of local governance and local administration and the differences between the two concepts, using the comparative method in defining the competencies of each of the central government and its local units in accordance with the Iraqi constitution of 2005 and comparing that with the law of irregular governorates in the region No. 22 of the year 2008 and its amendments. Results: Because the federal experience in Iraq came as a result of the occupation and its repercussions and not as a result of the maturation of social and political awareness, its legislation was characterized by weakness with regard to the distribution of competencies for both the local administration and the central administration. Also, the Governorates Law No. 22 of 2008 failed to set a general policy for local governments for their establishment, organization, management and the way of distributing their competencies, which led to a conflict between the competencies of each of the local governments and the central government
The Security Council in Settlement of International Disputes as a World Adjudicator: Legal and Political Challenges
Get PDFSecurity Council considered an indispensable body acting as the World’s adjudicator is responsible for resolving disputes under the various Member States. Such obligations and duties come with their own sets of Pros and Cons. Better procedure is not a replacement for UN member states' desire to uphold their duties under the Charter in good faith, although routinizing procedure frequently makes it easier for nations to uphold their obligations. It is always far easier to follow a standard method than to request a deviation from it. The Council acting continually, as originally envisaged by Article 28(1) of the Charter, as opposed to only during times of emergency, would provide the most benefit in the long run. Its members would grow more cooperative and knowledgeable about the interconnection of the various elements of global peace and maintenance of peace would become a primary task for them. The article thus addresses the persistent questions surrounding the Security Council's role in resolving international conflicts, which present their own legal and political difficulties ranging from the character of resolutions to the Council's own act of initiating such problems
Comparative Study of Physico- chemical Parameters of Ground water of Residential and Industrial area of Sirgitti in Bilaspur District
Get PDFWater is available in abundance on the earth. It is one of the main reasons which make life possible on our planet. The quality strength and type of sewage depends upon the human population, industrialization, deforestation and life style of people. Analytical explorations of some selected physico- chemical parameter have been made on the ground water bodies of Sirgitti industrial area. In the present comparative study for physico-chemical analysis water samples were collected from to different locations the residential and industrial area of Sirgitti in Bilaspur district. The laboratory test of the collected water samples were performed for analysis of some selected physico-chemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, DO, COD, Total hardness, Fluoride, chloride etc. The methods employed for the analysis as per standard methods recommended by APHA and WHO standard of drinking water. The obtained values are compared with the standard limit. The results of this study reveals that in the industrial area of the physico-chemical parameters higher in the maximum permissible limit of WHO with variations in some parameters. Both the sampling stations groundwater unsuitable for domestic, irrigation and drinking purposes but the industrial area of BEC fertilizers groundwater is more polluted than the Adarsh nagar residential area of Sirgitti. So it is essential that the quality of ground water should be regular checked and also needs treatment before direct use

The Impact of Cancer on Mental Health
Get PDFCancer cases have grown significantly more dangerous as people's life expectancies have increased. In addition, cancer patients may experience serious mental health issues that hinder their recovery. There is a gap in cancer treatment where patients are frequently only treated for their cancer and the effects of cancer on mental health are usually ignored. Several psychiatric care programs are available to patients, but few people are aware of them, and cancer patients are not questioned regarding their attraction to these programs. The aim of the study is to analyze the impact of cancer on anxiety and depression level of cancer patients and to understand which prevention program is found more interesting by cancer patients. Seventy patients participated in this study. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) has been used to measure anxiety and depression. According to the results, the average anxiety level was 9.36 ± 4.33, and the average depression level was 10.49 ± 3.50. Based on the program selection, the majority of participants selected "Support Groups" with a rate of 41.40%, and "Educational Programs" with a rate of 31.40%. In conclusion, the average anxiety level was at the borderline, and the average depression level was abnormal. This study shows that the mental health of cancer patients is neglected, and this issue is not sufficiently addressed. Future studies may focus on how to solve this problem more effectively and how to raise more awareness about the mental health of cancer patients
Simulation of Wearable Microstrip Patch Antenna by Using Textile Material for Ambient RF Energy Harvesting
Get PDFFuture enhancements in radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting technology will make easy the creation of a network with no need of dedicated transmitters, as a reliable source of wireless energy power. Recently, the development and employment of wearable antennas has increased rapidly for application in the miniaturization of wireless communication devices. The principal feature of wearable antennas is that they are designed as garment elements able to transmit or receive wireless signals. In this context, we propose a design of a wearable textile microstrip patch antenna operating for wireless body area network (WBAN)at the resonance frequency =2.40GHz. The microstrip patch antenna with an edge feeding technique is designed and simulated by using the Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) software. Textile materials have a low dielectric constant that reduces the surface wave losses and increases the impedance bandwidth of the antenna. The chosen dielectric substrate in this work is the jeans fabric with relative permittivity of 1.70, thickness of 1.00 mm and dissipation factor of 0.025. The antenna performance parameters are obtained from ADS Momentum. Simulation results show that antenna has the gain of 3.22 dBi and directivity of 8.10 dBi, showing that the wearable textile microstrip antenna has a good performance
Discrete Wavelet Transform and Ensemble Tree Algorithms for Air Pollutant Modeling: A Case Study
Get PDFAir pollution is one of the greatest environmental problems of our time on a global and local scale. Elevated and even low but constant levels of harmful emissions in the air in urbanized areas pose serious risks to the health of the population. This paper develops a new approach for statistical modeling of time series of air pollutants, depending on meteorological factors. A new framework based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed for decomposing pollutant's time series as a sum of components that represent trend, seasonality, and other specific characteristics. A key element in the applied DWT is an adaptive scheme for selecting the threshold value to control the reverse DWT's accuracy for achieving better prediction of the time series values. The resulting components are modeled with cutting-edge predictive ensemble tree algorithms, including bagging, boosting, and stacking techniques. This approach is tested with real data measured with a mobile automated station in the Plovdiv region, Bulgaria. All models are evaluated, analyzed, and cross-validated. The models are applied for short-term pollution forecasts
