Purple Code – With Basma Mostafa
No full textIn this episode, we speak with Basma Mostafa, a journalist from Egypt living in exile in Germany. We speak about the role of journalism and the use of digital technologies including social media during and following the Egyptian revolution. We learn about the increasing threats to press freedom and military violence against journalists, lawyers and activists in the country, and hopes of fighting the Egyptian regime from exile. Basma’s story is reflective of the struggles faced by exiled diaspora in Germany and what it means to miss ‘home’ when the home of one’s memory and imagination no longer exists. We ask Basma about what different movements can learn from the Egyptian revolution that started more than 13 years ago and if there is potential in building international diasporic movements in Germany
Why the Mostafa Maged maneuver is better: Mostafa Maged maneuver compared with bimanual uterine compression for postpartum hemorrhage
No full textAbstract Background This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Mostafa Maged maneuver compared with bimanual uterine compression for the management of postpartum hemorrhage during vaginal delivery. Methods This was a prospective study involving 200 patients divided into two groups with 100 patients in each group. Group I received (Mostafa Maged maneuver), and Group II received (routine bimanual uterine compression). The Mostafa Maged maneuver requires placing the right hand in the posterior fornix and positioning the left hand on the uterine fundus and posterior uterine wall via the abdomen exteriorly. The subsequent step involves holding the entire uterus against the symphysis pubis. We determined the duration of each maneuver until practitioner fatigue and evaluated whether oxytocin was administered after compression for each maneuver. Results No patients required blood transfusions in Group I (Mostafa Maged maneuver), unlike in Group II, in which 17/100 patients received blood transfusions after bimanual compression. There was a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between the groups regarding the administration of oxytocin. The mean duration of applying the Mostafa Maged maneuver was 12.7 min (range: 11–15 min). The mean duration of bimanual uterine compression (Group II) was 4.04 min (range: 3.5–4.5 min). There was a statistically significantly shorter duration for the Mostafa Maged maneuver and shorter time to onset of fatigue compared with bimanual uterine compression (p = 0.02, and p = 0.001, respectively). In contrast, there were no statistically significant differences between both groups for the dealing with the patient and the blood transfusion rate. Conclusion The Mostafa Maged maneuver is easy to learn and feasible to perform compared with bimanual uterine compression. The Mostafa Maged maneuver may be a valuable addition to current conservative treatments for atonic postpartum hemorrhage, especially for obstetricians who lack the training and expertise to perform more complex procedures and those working in minimally equipped facilities.

Realistic Brain Theory of Déjà vu – Mostafa
No full textThis project presents a personal theory developed by Mostafa Bou Khaled to explain the déjà vu phenomenon. The theory proposes that déjà vu is not a glitch or future vision, but a real memory of a past moment that wasn’t stored consciously because it was considered unimportant at the time. When an identical sensory and positional overlap occurs later, the brain retrieves this unregistered visual snapshot, creating the déjà vu effect. This idea invites researchers to explore the connection between sensory focus, memory storage, and human perception

Optimal Dispatch of Mobile Energy Storage Unit to Support EV Charging Stations
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Electrical Engineering by Mohamed Mostafa Abdelazim Elmeligy entitled, “Optimal Dispatch of Mobile Energy Storage Unit to Support EV Charging Stations”, submitted in April 2021. Thesis advisor is Dr. Mostafa Shaaban. Soft copy is available (Thesis, Completion Certificate, Approval Signatures, and AUS Archives Consent Form).s transportation electrification increases globally, new technologies emerged in the past few years to meet the growth of the electricity demand. A mobile energy storage system (MESS) could provide several services to the distribution systems such as reactive power support, renewable energy integration, peak shaving, and load leveling. In addition, an MESS can be utilized to support electric vehicles (EVs) charging in different parking lots (PLs), which is the main focus of this thesis. The task of multiple stationary storage units can be achieved using a single MESS with a relatively lower cost. In this thesis, a new dynamic optimal dispatch strategy for MESS is proposed to support several charging stations sharing the same geographical area. The objective of the proposed approach is to optimally dispatch the MESS in conjunction with optimal EVs charging to minimize the total operation cost and address the extra demand of PLs. Different case studies are provided on the IEEE 38-bus system and a real radial feeder in Ontario, Canada to test the proposed approach. In the second phase of this research, a new approach is proposed for the optimal resource allocation for an MESS fleet owned by multiple PLs sharing the same geographical area and sharing its capital and operational cost. The aim is to optimally decide on the number of MESSs and their battery bank capacities that should be used in order to serve charging stations participated in the project. The optimization includes practical constraints for battery dynamics. Comparative case studies showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.College of EngineeringDepartment of Electrical EngineeringMaster of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE
