Solid waste management operations are collecting, transportation, and disposal of residential, commercial, institutional, construction, demolition, and wide street areas; the result of the daily activity of humans needs to be properly managed. Iraq faces many problems associated with its unregulated solid waste systems. First, however, this study examined the reality of solid waste management in Iraq and ways to develop it. The total number of participants in this research was 326 participants .The data collected in February and March 2021, interview methodology and questionnaire which used, and the analysis software used for this research is IBM SPSS version 23; the two methodologies were used and combined to reach the largest possible amount of qualitative and quantitative information that may be absent from the researcher and to reach good results and outputs for the research, for reasons including obtaining more and deeper information to reach the largest segment of society and to achieve the goals of the thesis and obtain good results by integrating the two methodologies. The study concluded by analyzing the data, The municipality’s weak role and the lack of regular timetables in organizing waste collection and transportation operations, and 64% agreed that there are not sorting of waste from the source; also, the lack of cooperation and coordination between the public and the municipality, 39% agreed that most municipalities do not have healthy and environmentally safe landfills for waste disposal, 33% strongly agreed that there are no appropriate policies and laws that enhance the effectiveness of solid waste management, 49% strongly agreed that residents are ready to sort the waste in the designated place in case the municipality provides the containers, 53% agreed that residents are willing to pay for collecting waste from their homes or stores. After analyzing the study results, Iraq needs stations for sorting and transporting waste and stations for recycling plastic, paper and metals. Also, there is a need for sanitary landfills compatible with environmental conditions, and the municipality should play a greater role and give the private sector a greater role in the solid waste management process and overcome obstacles that hinder the work of investment companies, in addition to raising community awareness through holding educational workshops. For example, in schools and universities to spread environmental awareness in the community.
This study proposes a Raspberry Pi-based system for the diagnosis of heart valve diseases as a primary tool to improve the diagnostic accuracy of physicians. The proposed system is able to detect and classify nine common valvular heart cases encompassing eight types of heart valve diseases as well as the normal case of valves. The design and development of the proposed system are mainly divided into two phases, namely development of a disease classification approach, and design and implementation of the diagnostic hardware system. The developed disease classification approach is comprised of five stages, namely obtaining phonocardiogram (PCG) signals, preprocessing, segmentation using a proposed automatic algorithm, feature extraction in three domains (time, frequency, and wavelet decomposition domains) and classification using a backpropagation neural network. The hardware of the diagnostic system consists of a PCG signal acquisition module connected to a processing and displaying unit, which is represented by a Raspberry Pi connected to a touch screen. Where the developed disease classification approach is implemented in
Epilepsy is a pathological condition characterized by seizures of muscle tension and convulsions in which the patient is unable to control himself, resulting in various complications and injuries. In this paper we talk about a rare case that combines a shoulder dislocation with a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus after an epileptic seizure. The patient came to the hospital with clinical symptoms directed at dislocating the shoulder after an epileptic seizure, but careful examination and radiography revealed the presence of a fracture of the surgical neck of the humerus, so the management needed experience to repair two serious traumatic injuries. In the light of the foregoing, the need for clinical knowledge regarding such injuries in terms of diagnosis and methods of management and treatment is very necessary especially that neglect or wrong diagnosis will lead to very bad results, the most important of which are chronic pain, disability and stiffness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
