Collateral Damage and the Incident at Haditha
Full text linkIn his paper, Collateral Damage and the \u27Incident\u27 at Haditha, Tom Engelhardt provides a comparative analysis of the massacres of innocent civilians in the Viet Nam and Iraqi wars. Focusing on the events of My Lai, Haditha, Abu Ghraib, and Fallujah, Engelhardt traces the uncanny resemblance between the ways that the military attempted to contain the flow of information about these atrocities. Engelhardt analyzes the rhetorical tropes of media coverage via the favored terms of collateral damage and incident and the preferred statistics that always claim that 99.9% of the military conducts itself professionally. The fact that the media not only accepts but also promotes such specious terms and statistics has dire consequences for the public\u27s ability to make sense of the atrocities of war. Engelhardt\u27s analysis reveals how the practice of war and the language it depends on create a mass of unknowable enemies that are easy to kill and even easier to forget
Geomorphological assessment determinants of urban expansion of urban centers in a Haditha city
Full text linkThis research aims to study, the geomorphological evaluation of the determinants of urban expansion in the city of Haditha, which represent these determinants of the Euphrates River from the northeast, Haditha Lake from the northwest, and the edges of the western plateau from the west, as well as a number of valleys, including short and large, the most important of which is Wadi The two fields of Wadi Zaghdan, Wadi Banat Al-Hassan, Wadi, which penetrates the edges of the western plateau towards the Euphrates River, has shown through this research the extent of the influence of geomorphological determinants in a modern city, which resulted in the direction of many problems, the most prominent of which was the large urban sprawl towards agricultural lands located on the banks of the river. The Euphrates, the most important of these areas are Bani Daher, Al-Askari neighborhood and Sheikh Hadid. The study in Haditha city showed that the expansion of Haditha city cannot continue with this longitudinal expansion adjacent to the Euphrates River on the one hand and the edges of the western plateau on the other, which will force Haditha city to expand to the west, i.e. towards its edges. The western plateau is also towards the plain lands that were a modern lake flooded with water, represented by water storage lands, which requires the extension of a network of transport roads that work to bypass these geomorphic determinants. accessibility

Application of SWAT Model for Sediment Loads from Valleys Transmitted to Haditha Reservoir
No full textThis study included the extraction properties of spatial and morphological basins studied using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model linked to (GIS) to find the amount of sediment and rates of flow that flows into the Haditha reservoir . The aim of this study is determine the amount of sediment coming from the valleys and flowing into the Haditha Dam reservoir for 25 years ago for the period (1985-2010) and its impact on design lifetime of the Haditha Dam reservoir and to determine the best ways to reduce the sediment transport. The result indicated that total amount of sediment coming from all valleys about (2.56 * 106 ton). The maximum annual total sediment load was about (488.22 * 103 ton) in year 1988 due to the surface runoff about 167.79 * 106 m3, while the minimum annual total sediment load was about (8.62 * 103 ton) in year 2007. This due to the total runoff volume that was 5.67×106 m3. Model calibration and verification were carry out using flow rate and sediment yield data observed at the study area and the results were satisfactory
Simulation of the Flood Wave Caused by Hypothetical Failure of the Haditha Dam
No full textSulaiman, Sadeq Oleiwi/0000-0001-6240-5685; Yilmaz, Meric/0000-0001-6921-7687In this research, the flood wave resulting from the hypothetical overtopping failure of the Haditha Dam on the Euphrates River, Iraq, was simulated, utilizing the ArcMap 10.2 and HEC-RAS 5.0.7 software and the observed field data from the Iraqi Ministry of Water Resources. Flooding parameters were calculated, for the study reach from the Haditha Dam to Heet city and major cities in between. The Manning coefficient of the study reach was calibrated to 0.035 and 0.07 for the main river and the floodplain, respectively. The results showed the flood wave propagation along the study reach, the flood hydrograph and time to the peak discharge/time to the maximum water surface elevation, maximum velocity, and width of the inundated area at the selected cities. The analysis outputs and the inundation maps can be used to provide an emergency action plan for the flooded regions
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Pembunuhan penduduk sipil oleh pasukan Marinir Amerika Serikat dalam konflik bersenjata di Kota Haditha Irak ditinjau dari Hukum Humaniter Internasional
Full text linkDalam penulisan skripsi ini penulis membahas mengenai masalah pembunuhan penduduk sipil di kota Haditha yang dilakukan oleh pasukan Marinir Amerika Serikat. Hal ini dilatarbelakangi dengan adanya peristiwa pembunuhan yang terjadi pada tanggal 19 November 2005. Pemicu pembunuhan ini adalah ledakan bom jalanan yang menewaskan seorang marinir bernama Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas dan melukai dua rekannya saat humvee yang mereka tumpangi meledak di pinggir jalan kota Haditha. Setelah terjadinya ledakan tersebut, pasukan marinir mendatangi rumah penduduk dan membunuh seluruh orang didalamnya. Dari latar belakang tersebut timbul permasalahan yaitu mengenai kategori pelanggaran apakah termasuk pelanggaran Hukum Humaniter Internasional dan/atau Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) berat dan mengenai upaya penegakan hukum dari peristiwa yang terjadi di Haditha.
Dalam penulisan skripsi ini, penulis menggunakan pendekatan yuridis normatif yang akan menggali bahan-bahan hukum dan fakta-fakta yang berhubungan dengan permasalahan yang ada, dengan data yang diperoleh melalui kegiatan library research (studi kepustakaan) dan studi dokumentasi.
Bardasarkan hasil penelitian, penulis memperoleh jawaban atas permasalahan yang ada, bahwa pembunuhan 24 penduduk sipil di kota Haditha oleh pasukan Marinir Amerika Serikat merupakan pelanggaran atas hukum humaniter internasional dan hak asasi manusia berat. Hal ini didasarkan bahwa tindakan marinir tersebut tidak mencerminkan penegakan terhadap kaidah, prinsip atau asas dan ketentuan dalam hukum humaniter internasional serta merupakan suatu bentuk pelanggaran terhadap hukum dan kebiasaan perang. Dalam kaitannya dengan hak asasi manusia, terjadi pelanggaran dari hak untuk hidup karena marinir tersebut membunuh penduduk sipil secara sengaja. Oleh karena terjadi pelanggaran dari kedua bidang tersebut, maka tindakan pasukan Marinir Amerika Serikat dapat dikategorikan sebagai kejahatan perang. Adapun upaya penegakan hukum terhadap peristiwa ini dapat ditempuh melalui berbagai sarana, yaitu menurut hukum nasional, menurut Statuta Roma 1998 tentang International Criminal Court dan melalui Dewan Keamanan PBB. Berdasarkan sumber yang diperoleh, upaya yang ditempuh adalah menurut hukum nasional. Untuk melengkapi penegakan hukum, maka diperlukan pemberian sanksi kepada pelaku kejahatan. Pihak Amerika Serikat memberikan sanksi kompensasi kepada para korban baik yang tewas maupun yang terluka sebagai bentuk pertanggungjawaban atas peristiwa pembunuhan yang dilakukan oleh pasukan marinirnya
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
