Abstract

Cybercrime is considered one of the most significant crimes effecting people and society. Computer network are involved in this type of crime, with various hackers participating. Through such crime,  identities and much information of the victims are stolen. Many students, especially international students and young individuals, fall victim to this fraud. This study focuses on raising awareness among people to avoid scammer’s link or unknown websites that seek to obtain their information. This will be achieved by organizing different questionnaires by teaching staff at one of the Iraqi Universities in this field, to be answered by undergraduate and postgraduate students. The statistical analysis conducted on this group  showed that students are more educated and aware, making them less likely to fall victim to these types of crime. This is a result of the knowledge and skills these students acquired through technology and various sessions and training at universities or other resources.

Abstract

The cathode material is one of the key factors in enhancing the overall performance of microbial electrosynthesis system (MES). Nickel-based materials are the best option for cathodes in MES due to their excellent catalytic activity. This study aims to evaluate the performance of nickel foam (NF) as self-cathode material in MES for acetate production from CO2. A biocatalyst at the cathode was provided using a mixed-culture of anaerobic sludge from palm oil mill effluent (POME). The field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was used to analyze the cathode surface morphology, while high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to quantify the volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in the effluent. The results indicate that the self-cathode NF exhibited excellent performance, achieving an acetate production rate (QAcetate) of 46.0 mM/d, compared to 41.7 mM/d with a graphite felt (GF) cathode at a cathode potential of -0.8 V. Additionally, the self-cathode NF in the MES system demonstrated a coulombic efficiency (CE) of approximately 22.9%. Moreover, the type of cathode material and the microbial community attached to the cathode surface significantly influenced MES performance.
