Eco-awareness as an Antithesis of Apocalyptic Eco-Phobia in Margaret Atwood’s (The Year of the Flood)
...Show More Authors

This paper argues that eco-awareness is presented in Margaret Atwood’s The Year of the Flood as a remedy for apocalyptic eco-phobia. The study focuses on apocalypse and eco-phobia as a motivation of the characters’ eco-awareness. Accordingly, the novel depicts several scenes of natural apocalyptic regarding the decline of the environment. There is an obvious relationship between apocalyptic eco-phobia and eco-awareness because they are environmental elements. Therefore, the study examines Atwood’s perception of apocalypse that threatens the ideal nature; she offers alternatives to avoid it via elevating the characters’ eco-awareness. Consequently, eco-awareness exemplifies the ideal natural state needed by the characters because imminent apocalypse endangers its safety and significance to their lives. Here, the study scrutinizes eco-awareness as a remedy for possible destructive environmental disaster. Hence, it applies Scott Slovic’s concept of eco-awareness as a remedy for apocalyptic eco-phobia to unravel Atwood’s obsession with contemporary negative exploitation of nature. By interpreting the contradiction between eco-awareness and apocalyptic eco-phobia, it tries to contend that environmental perfection would exacerbate the characters’ eco-awareness. The novel encourages readers to deduce the vitality of eco-awareness and its capacity to promote the characters’ need for ideal environment. This finding accentuates the characters engagement with nature since it exalts their eco-awareness as a therapeutic antithesis to apocalyptic eco-phobia; whereby they become convened to cease exploiting nature in negative way. Thus, the study explores how Atwood’s descriptive portrayal of natural apocalypse prompts the characters’ eco-phobic feelings; and how it could be mitigated by dint of their eco-awareness

...Show More Authors

In spite of increasing clinical cases which caused by enteroviruses transferred by water and no documents about entericviruses in the Iraqi water standards. The use of coliphages as an indicator of enteroviruses and fecal pollution were suggested two procedures were applied . The first is Two-Step Enrichment Method and the second is Single Agar Layer Method. Both methods gives good results in Identification of coliphages through testing fifty different water samples (Tap water, Surface water and Bottled water) the study shows the presence of coliphages in fourteen samples.

Synthesis of Bimetallic Au–Pt / TiO2 Catalysts as an Efficient Catalyst for the Photodegradation of Crystal Violet Dye
...Show More Authors

     Bimetallic Au –Pt catalysts supporting TiO2 were synthesised using two methods; sol immobilization and impregnation methods. The prepared catalyst underwent a thermal treatment process at 400 C, while the reduction reaction under the same condition was done and the obtained catalysts were identified with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). It has been found that the prepared catalysts have a dimension around 2.5 nm and the particles have uniform orders leading to high dispersion of platinum molecules .The prepared catalysts have been examined as efficient photocatalysts to degrade the Crystal violet dye under UV-light. The optimum values of Bimetallic Au –
