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.
Abstract
The project of balad's major sewerage system is one of the biggest projects who is still in progress in salahulddin province provincial - development plan that was approved in 2013 . This project works in two parts ; the 1st is installing the sewerage networks (both of heavy sewerage & rain sewerage) and the 2nd is installing the life – off units (for heavy sewerage & rain sewerage , as well) . the directorate of salahuiddin is aiming that at end of construction it will be able to provide services for four residential quarters , one of the main challenges that project's management experience is how to achieve thes

Show MoreThis study aims at examining and confirming the patterns of phenetic relationships and the levels of variations within and among the species of Lotus L., 1753 in Egypt by using morphometric analysis techniques. We have evaluated 24 morphological characters from about 300 herbarium specimens representing 19 species of Lotus that are currently recognized. Based on numerical analyses of macromorphological characters (cluster analysis, principal coordinate analysis and principal component analysis), 19 species of Lotus were recognized from Egypt. These species were clustered in six species-specific groups: (I) Lotus halophilus Boiss. & Spruner, L. angustissimus L., L. glinoides Delile and L. schimperi Steud. ex Boiss., (II) Lotus glaber

Show MoreHeavy metals especially lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu) are noxious pollutants with immense health hazards on living organisms, these pollutants enter aquatic environment in Iraq mainly Tigris and Euphrates rivers via waste water came from different anthropological activities, This study investigated capacity of dried and ground root of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) in removing the heavy metals from their aqueous solutions. Effects of initial concentrations of the heavy metals and pH of their aqueous solutions were studied. Results of this study revealed excellent biosorption capacity of water hyacinth root in general, removal of Pb was the highest and Cr was lowest. The results showed that the Pb, Cu and C

For laser a comparison study for the theoretically calculated results with a simulation results using a software which calculates the Q-switched solid state laser parameters was such as energy, peak power and pulse width were performed. There was a good agreement between our theoretical calculations and the simulation values.
Simple and sensitive kinetic methods are developed for the determination of Paracetamol in pure form and in pharmaceutical preparations. The methods are based on direct reaction (oxidative-coupling reaction) of Paracetamol with o-cresol in the presence of sodium periodate in alkaline medium, to form an intense blue-water-soluble dye that is stable at room temperature, and was followed spectrophotometriclly at λmax= 612 nm. The reaction was studied kinetically by Initial rate and fixed time (at 25 minutes) methods, and the optimization of conditions were fixed. The calibration graphs for drug determination were linear in the concentration ranges (1-7 μg.ml-1) for the initial rate and (1-10 μg.ml-1) for the fixed time methods at 25 min.
