Abstract

Contemporary architecture in many Islamic countries faces the dual challenge of preserving cultural identity while addressing energy efficiency and thermal comfort in harsh climatic conditions. This research explores the integration of modular construction with the timeless principles of Islamic architecture and the use of indigenous, climate-responsive materials as a sustainable solution. A prototype of a modular residential unit was designed, incorporating key Islamic architectural elements such as a central courtyard, mashrabiya (ornate lattice screens), and strategic orientation. The design utilized locally sourced materials with high thermal mass, such as rammed earth and reclaimed timber. The thermal performance was rigorously evaluated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and dynamic thermal simulations with EnergyPlus software. The simulation results were benchmarked against a conventional modern residential unit of equivalent size. The integration of passive design strategies resulted in a 25% reduction in annual cooling loads. Indoor operative temperatures remained within the comfort zone for 60% longer than the baseline case, substantially minimizing reliance on mechanical air conditioning. The mashrabiya and courtyard proved effective in facilitating natural ventilation and reducing solar heat gain. This study validates that merging modular construction with climate-responsive local materials and Islamic architectural wisdom offers a viable path toward sustainable and culturally resonant architecture.

Abstract

The increasing presence of persistent pharmaceutical contaminants in water bodies poses a significant threat to environmental and human health, necessitating effective remediation technologies. This study aimed to develop and evaluate zinc oxide/copper oxide (ZnO/CuO) composite thin films as an efficient photocatalyst for degrading pharmaceutical waste under visible light. The ZnO/CuO thin films were synthesized via a sol-gel spin-coating method, and their photocatalytic activity was assessed using diclofenac as a model pollutant. The results demonstrated that the ZnO/CuO heterostructure exhibited enhanced visible light absorption and superior photocatalytic performance compared to pure ZnO. The composite films achieved over 90% degradation of diclofenac within 120 minutes, with the process following pseudo-first-order kinetics. The enhanced efficiency is attributed to effective charge separation at the ZnO/CuO interface. This research confirms that ZnO/CuO thin films are promising, reusable photocatalysts for the sustainable treatment of pharmaceutical-contaminated water.

Abstract

Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide, primarily due to challenges in early and accurate detection. Conventional screening methods like Pap smears are subject to human error and have moderate sensitivity. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel, non-invasive diagnostic platform combining Raman spectroscopy with artificial intelligence (AI) for the rapid and highly accurate detection of early-stage cervical cancer biomarkers. The objective was to create a system that could overcome the limitations of current screening techniques. We collected cervical cell samples from clinically diagnosed healthy, pre-cancerous (CIN I-III), and cancerous patients. Raman spectroscopy was used to acquire high-resolution biochemical fingerprints from these samples. A custom-developed convolutional neural network (CNN) was then trained on the spectral data to learn and identify subtle biomarker-associated patterns indicative of neoplastic transformation. The AI-augmented system achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 96.5%, with a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 95% in differentiating high-grade lesions and cancerous samples from healthy ones. The model successfully identified key spectral shifts related to nucleic acid and protein conformational changes, correlating them with disease progression.
