The Diversity of Cultures and Ideologies in Society and its Impact on the Structure of Iraqi press
...Show More Authors

The diversity of cultures is still the title of an Iraqi specificity that gave the society a diversity and this is reflected in the journalistic reality with the changing of the political system generate a new political and ideological life that differs from what is prevailed during the decades. However, its exacerbation of the degree of division is an additional duty for the press as a cultural platform and a knowledge bridge that contributes to the process of dialogue, addressing the differences, establishing a politically homogeneous structure through the state and socially by uniting all components of society and working to raise public awareness of the importance of national belonging to build a modern state. Cultural diversity is a human moral and intellectual necessity that leads to peaceful coexistence and building a human being who respects values and freedom of expression and opinion in order to create modern institutions and a civilized society based on tolerance and exchange of ideas. Therefore, the gradual transformation of political reality led to the challenge of press which indicates media in how to contribute to the process of repairing cracks and confront the ideological differences and prevailing cultures. One of the most prominent of this difficult stage is the occurrence of deadly doublets and dynasties in Iraqi cultural structures. The contemplative historian senses that two basic lines of Iraqi intellectuals have been starting together since the formation of the state and they contribute to live in conflict between them in 2003 after the defeat of the state and the laxity of society. This is reflected in an Iraqi political-national cultural line that represents the radical-socialist trend which began utopian, class-oriented and Marxist at the parties. While the second line represent the national trend and later ideologically envied by the parties and national groups. The decline of the two trends has led to a different cultural and ideological direction that represent political Islam and its control over the political and societal reality, taking advantage of the failure of those forces in the two previous directions. To conflict in the structure of culture with the invention of regional and international shares in situation of plowing the mental and unconscious infrastructure of the individual reflected on the cultural environment of the community to live a kind of turmoil, which led to different trends in the structure of press in accordance with the variables to produce a speech. It is a sign of the new reality. The press has been a manifestation of change that has been associated with the political system and its relationship to the nature of the facts of the new environment. Therefore, there is a link between the evidence of the press and the possibility of forming an ideology that is consistent with the cultural structure by means of various information, news, analysis, article, and the possibility of controlling external press institutions and the work controls that govern the structure of the institutions internally. These restrictions and restrains have defined the path by which each press organization operates through its structure of human staff. And the capital which is the core and the starting point for the establishment and the continuation of the existence of the means and then the goals embodied in the speech that is characterized by this newspaper or that in the production of ideas and opinions, information and texts and they deal to communicate to the public to influence the trends and their tendencies and not to employ diversity and marketing through the various media in its ideological tendencies leading to division and then to a social and political conflict.

DESIGN OF A HYDRAULIC MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM USING TWO BACKSTEPPING TIME VARYING SLIDING MODE STRATEGIES
...Show More Authors

A second-order sliding mode control is used for high-order uncertain plants using equivalent control approach to improve the performance of control systems. They combine backstepping with quasi-continuous controller and twisting controllers. This paper considers a two of the most popular controllers that are used to solve the nonlinearities problem which are the backstepping quasi-continuous control (BQCC) and backstepping twisting controllers to control the angular velocity of a hydraulic motor to improve tracking performance and robustness to uncertainties. For the system dynamics, a linear state feedback with suitable high gain was designed as the virtual controller, where steady state error can be made arbitrarily small according to the

Push-out test of steel–concrete–steel composite sections with various core materials: behavioural study
...Show More Authors

Steel–concrete–steel (SCS) structural systems have economic and structural advantages over traditional reinforced concrete; thus, they have been widely used. The performance of concrete made from recycled rubber aggregate from scrap tires has been evaluated since the early 1990s. The use of rubberized concrete in structural construction remains necessary because of its high impact resistance, increases ductility, and produces a lightweight concrete; therefore, it adds such important properties to SCS members. In this research, the use of different concrete core materials in SCS was examined. Twelve SCS specimens were subjected to push-out monotonic loading for inspecting their mechanical performance. One specimen was constructed from co

Increasing validation accuracy of a face mask detection by new deep learning model-based classification
...Show More Authors

During COVID-19, wearing a mask was globally mandated in various workplaces, departments, and offices. New deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) based classifications were proposed to increase the validation accuracy of face mask detection. This work introduces a face mask model that is able to recognize whether a person is wearing mask or not. The proposed model has two stages to detect and recognize the face mask; at the first stage, the Haar cascade detector is used to detect the face, while at the second stage, the proposed CNN model is used as a classification model that is built from scratch. The experiment was applied on masked faces (MAFA) dataset with images of 160x160 pixels size and RGB color. The model achieve

Optical properties of Ag-doped nickel oxide thin films prepared by pulsed-laser deposition technique
...Show More Authors

In this work, pure and Ag-doped nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited on glass substrates with different dopant concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 wt.%) by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) technique at room temperature. These films were annealed at temperature of 450 °C. The structural and optical properties of the prepared thin films were studied. It was found that annealing process has lead to increase the transmittance of the deposited films. Also, the transmittance was found to increase with doping concentration of silver in the deposited NiO films. The optical energy gap was decreased from 3.5 to 3.2 eV as the doping concentration was increased to 0.4 %.
