According to the topics of study, The intensity of the news coverage of the Abu Ghraib scandal and the US soldiers' torture of Iraqi prisoners have become apparent since the scandal was revealed on April 29, 2004 until May 30, 2004 and the period in which the coverage of this scandal had intensified not only in Al-Zaman, but in all newspapers, magazines and other media locally and internationally. And according to a research taken from Al-Zaman magazine that showed great interest in highlighting the event, interpreting it, following up its roots and results, and showing contradictory claims and slogans between the US and Britain, particularly in respecting human rights and the spread of justice, equality and well-being in Iraq specifically and what happened actually from violations and abuses of US forces, and whoever made an alliance with them against the Iraqi people which are contrary to all international laws, legislations and conventions that prevent the violation of human dignity in times of peace and war alike and can not be accepted under any justification. The importance of the news reports was also revealed in the dissemination of the essence of the event and its reasons, and based on new factual information in a clear and simple manner, and a comprehensive explanation of most aspects of the event and all relevant developments, ideas, attitudes and results. For more honest and objective follow-up, the reports relied on documents supporting the information since the beginning of the event, and highlighted the US abuses and violations of international laws and the resolutions of the Security Council and the United Nations in the violation of human rights, and that was proved by the (categories of analysis) which highlighted the obvious contradiction between the slogans and behaviors and practices, this was obtained with the adoption of specific scientific steps. After the analysis of the news reports of the newspaper Al-Zaman, it showed many results focusing on highlighting the condemnation and anger of the Iraqi people against the crimes of torture in Abu Ghraib prison, whereas the US officials’ stated that the US administration’s justice will punish the American soldiers for Abusing the Iraqi prisoners, also highlighting the heinous torture and humiliation of US soldiers against prisoners. The Red Cross, The Unicef and Amnesty International were also concerned about the need to punish the perpetrators of torture crimes. The focus was also on the US president's claim to insist on peace and security in Iraq. Iraqi and international claims blamed the American minister of defense Donald Ramsfield, for the torture crimes against Iraqi prisoners. This scandal led to the escalation of international and US hostility against Washington and It showed how clear the British claims were contradictory in the analysis which questions the validity of the abuse of British soldiers against the Iraqi detainees.
Grabisch and Labreuche have recently proposed a generalization of capacities, called the bi-capacities. Recently, a new approach for studying bi-capacities through introducing a notion of ternary-element sets proposed by the author. In this paper, we propose many results such as bipolar Mobius transform, importance index, and interaction index of bi-capacities based on our approach.
Retained soft tissue foreign bodies following injuries are frequently seen in the Emergency and Plastic Surgery practice. The patients with such presentations require a watchful and detailed clinical as- sessment to overcome the anticipant possibility of missing them. However, the diagnosis based on the clinical evaluation is usually challenging and needs to be supported by imaging modalities that are suboptimal and may fail in identifying some types of foreign bodies. Owing to that, serious complications such as chronic pain, infection, and delayed wound healing can be faced that necessitate a prompt intervention to halt those detrimental consequences. The classical method of removal is a surgical exploration which is not free of risks.

Show MoreThe current study aims to identify soil pollutants from heavy metals The study utilized 40 topsoil (5 cm) samples, which adapted and divided into seven regions lies in Baghdad governorate, included (Al-Husainya,(Hs) Al-Doura (Do), Sharie Al-Matar (SM), Al-Waziria (Wz), Nharawan (Nh), Abu Ghraib (Abu) and Al-Mahmoodyia (Mh)). Spatial distribution maps of Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) were created for Baghdad city using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The concentrations of four heavy metals in the soil of different area of Baghdad were measured and observed using XRF instrument. The result found highest values of Pb and Zn at the middle of the Baghdad in (Wz
The use of bio-fruit waste has more attention in recent years because of the low cost of bio-fibers and the protection of the environment. In this study, the epoxy was reinforced with fruit residues (cantaloupe peel powder) in proportions (1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% by weight) as results of mechanical tests such as impact, hardness, flexural and compression.
Adding sub microns particle size cantaloupe peels particles with a weight ratio of 7.5% improves the epoxy mechanical properties, like impact strength, hardness, flexural strength, and compression strength by 59.43%, 5.8%, 45.7%, and 118.2%, respectively.
Using X-ray diffraction, the crystallite size ( D) of cantaloupe peel the powder was about (3 nm).

Therefore, it was necessary to try to adopt a new methodology that would help in overcoming these problems. It was suggested to combine building information modeling with the agile management approach because this technique and methodology is modern and helps in reducing time and cost and improving quality. This paper aims to know the status of using Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Agile Project management (APM) in Iraq and to shed light on the merging of this integration, explaining the benefits, difficulties, and workflow practices, finding the most influencing factors on the tim

The molecularly imprinted (MIP) and nonimprinted (NIP) polymers were synthesized by bulk polymerization using (Ris.) as a template, acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AAm) as monomers, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linker and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. The imprinted membranes and the non-imprinted membranes were prepared using dioctyl phthalate (DOP) and Dibutylphthalate (DBP) as plasticizers in PVC matrix. The membranes were coated on graphite electrodes. The MIP electrodes using
