A cerium–curcumin coordination material was prepared through direct interaction of Ce(III) with curcumin using cerium(III) sulfate as the metal precursor, providing a coordination-based system distinct from formulations in which curcumin and cerium oxide are incorporated as separate components. Preparations obtained at nominal Ce:CUR feed ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 were initially compared spectroscopically, with the 1:1 material subjected to detailed physicochemical and biological evaluation. UV–Vis spectroscopy showed a bathochromic shift of the principal curcumin band from approximately 415 to 420 nm, while FTIR and Raman analyses revealed changes in the β-diketone/C–O environment together with retention of sulfate-related vibrational

This study explores the effects of climate change, particularly focusing on drought and desertification of land, on population displacement and migration in the southern governorates of Iraq, specifically Dhi Qar, Maysan, Muthanna, and Basra. Three of these governorates are characterized by marshes, and their inhabitants practice agriculture and pastoralism. The research links the effects of desertification and land degradation to population movement, using data from United Nations reports in a statistical model using simple linear regression. The study aims to demonstrate that desertification is a significant factor in population displacement, posing a threat to the sustainability of national food security by degrading natural resources an

The research aims to identify the relationship of indicators of sustainable smart cities with indicators of social well-being. It aims to study the most important strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing the transformation of the city of Baghdad into a smart and sustainable city and measure the performance gap between the city's current reality and its ideal on the way to achieving sustainability to improve the community's quality of life and well-being. Social research started from a problem: Poor clarity in defining indicators of sustainable smart cities and studying their relationship with social well-being. The research assumes that there are measurable indicators of smart cities, which lead to enhanced city services tha

This article aims to explore the characteristics of resilient city systems, which play a key role in urban and spatial planning. It also aims to create desert cities that achieve sustainable development goals and are able to withstand dynamic changes, as well as current and unforeseen challenges and crises. The Resilient City Framework tool was applied to the city of Najaf. This tool assessed the city's resilience based on principles such as quality of life, health, society and economy, infrastructure and ecosystems, strategic leadership, and governance. The results demonstrated the tool's success in assessing the city's resilience characteristics across all sectors. Furthermore, the findings revealed that resilience assessment tools are an

Urban resilience is an important part of the sustainable urban development agenda, providing a proactive approach to the growing challenges within cities and making them more responsive and safer for the future. Therefore, the research problem was to ask: How can the integration of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytical Network Process (ANP) be used to determine which cities have the most resilient systems in the event of an emergency? It is assumed that the use of integration between the AHP and ANP will facilitate the initial assessment of the resilience of city systems and the development of policies and measures that would improve urban resilience. A model will be built using the AHP and ANP that helps in the initial asse

Table tennis is an individual sport that demands precise timing rapid movement diversity and exceptional hand eye coordination.  The Success in this discipline requires athletes to execute coordinated fast paced and directionally variable movements within confined court spaces while maintaining fluidity and focus. The particularly critical for fundamental skills such as the forehand and backhand strokes. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of specific motor control exercises on physical capabilities and the accuracy of forehand and backhand strokes among specialized school table tennis U13 years old. The researchers employed a controlled experimental design utilizing pre test and post test measures across experimental and control g

This study aimed to identify the effect of special exercises using weighted balls of varying masses and elastic resistance bands in futsal on perceptual abilities specifically the Nelson test of motor response (right and left) and perceptual motor coordination among players of the Baghdad Education (Al-Karkh II) team aged 15–16 years. The study was motivated by the observed weakness in perceptual abilities among players in the inter education directorates league. The researcher adopted an experimental approach using a pre-test/post-test design with two groups (experimental and control). The research population consisted of 60 players from six Baghdad Education Directorates while the study sample included 10 players representing 17% of

The aim of the study was to verify the validity and reliability of a basketball-simulated physical exertion test designed to induce fatigue, by measuring heart rate (HR), lactate concentration (LA) and the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). The study sample consisted of 20 basketball players from leading teams in the Iraqi Premier League, with an average age of (21.50 ± 3.67) years, With a body mass of (80.50 ± 11.71) kg and a height of (189.00 ± 7.75) cm, the basketball-simulated physical exertion test protocol to induce fatigue consisted of four exercises performed consecutively following a warm-up. Heart rate was measured remotely before, during and after the exercise using a Polar Verity Sense remote heart rate monitor, whilst la

The current study aimed to identify the impact of both emotional intelligence and cognitive curiosity on the performance of the simple attack in female fencing using the foil. The research problem lies in the clear deficiency in understanding the complementary relationship between these psychological and cognitive variables and precise skill performance. Students exhibit difficulties in maintaining emotional stability and controlling feelings of anxiety and tension during the attack, leading to poor timing or misjudgment of movement, despite similar levels of physical and technical training. To achieve the research objectives, the researcher adopted a descriptive approach using correlational and predictive studies. The study was conducte

This study aimed to develop a causal relationship model and identify the direct and indirect effects of situational awareness on some basic futsal skills among fourth-year students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Al-Qadisiyah University during the academic year 2025–2026. The research problem stemmed from observing student training sessions, revealing a significant disparity in cognitive abilities and skill-based decision-making despite their similar technical levels. The researcher employed a descriptive methodology using both survey and correlational approaches. The research population consisted of 100 students randomly selected and divided into construction pilot (20 students) and application (60 students)

Background/Objectives: The creation of clinically relevant in vitro white spot lesions (WSLs) is essential for the reliable evaluation of diagnostic devices and remineralization therapies. This study aims to optimize the in vitro WSL creation protocol across various demineralization periods to produce lesions comparable to post-orthodontic WSLs, using different diagnostic methods. Methods: Forty extracted upper first premolars were randomly allocated into four groups (ten per group) and exposed to hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) gel for demineralization periods of 7, 10, 14, and 21 days. Lesions were evaluated by ICDAS II, DIAGNOdent pen, and a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The correlations among the diagnostic methods were analyz
