Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop an integrated and environmentally adaptive processing technology for producing high-purity graphite suitable for advanced industrial applications. Method: A combinatorial scheme was implemented, involving multi-stage flotation enrichment, pyrometallurgical treatment at 900–1000°C, and hydrometallurgical leaching using hydrochloric acid. Results: Flotation increased the carbon content to 94%, while subsequent thermal and chemical treatments further enhanced the purity to 98.4% carbon with an ash content of only 0.74%. Comparative analysis revealed that hydrochloric acid was more effective than nitric acid in removing mineral impurities. Novelty: The study introduces a unified technological pipeline that combines flotation, thermal processing, and hydrometallurgical leaching—providing a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to conventional acid-intensive purification methods. This approach not only improves graphite quality but also reduces environmental hazards, offering practical value to the energy, nuclear, and metallurgical industries.

Abstract

Objective: Demography is a multidisciplinary science that examines population dynamics, including birth, death, and migration processes, within socio-historical and economic contexts. The fields of geodemography and demogeography emerged to integrate demographic analysis with geographical factors, enabling deeper insights into population distribution, settlement development, and territorial differences. Although demography’s theoretical foundations are well established, distinctions between geodemography and demogeography remain conceptually blurred, and their practical applications in regional demographic studies require further clarification. This article aims to analyze the similarities and differences between geodemography, demogeography, and regional demography by examining their objects, subjects, methodologies, and roles in understanding population processes. Method: The analysis shows that while demography broadly studies population regeneration and dynamics, geodemography focuses on demographic processes in relation to geographical conditions, and demogeography emphasizes territorial aspects of demographic events. Result: Regional demography, in turn, examines demographic processes within specific administrative or territorial units, addressing practical issues such as employment, settlement planning, and infrastructure development. Novelty: The study clarifies the conceptual boundaries and methodological approaches of geodemography, demogeography, and regional demography, highlighting their interconnections and distinct analytical contributions to the demographic sciences. Understanding these differences is critical for developing effective demographic policies, regional planning strategies, and socio-economic development programs, as well as for training specialists capable of integrating demographic and geographical perspectives in research and practice.

Abstract

Objective: This research aims to employ Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in the Balad District through the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Method: The study area lies between latitudes (37°44′48″ and 37°71′61″) north and longitudes (48°11′24″ and 49°49′25″) east, covering a total area of (2161.34 km²), equivalent to (592,145 donums). Through the analysis of the road network, the study identifies the fastest routes between specific points (e.g., from point A to point B). Service area analyses (cumulative and multiple) illustrate how accessibility changes with increased barriers; for example, determining the number of hospitals accessible within 5, 10, and 15 minutes’ drive from schools. Additionally, by analyzing traffic data, the accessibility of hospitals may vary according to traffic conditions. Results: Key requirements for the successful implementation of ITS include political commitment, sufficient budget allocations to ensure project sustainability, the establishment of traffic control centers for monitoring and managing traffic remotely, and the creation of a central database containing information on vehicles and road networks. Novelty: The study integrates ITS and GIS in the Balad District to identify optimal routes and assess service accessibility dynamically based on traffic conditions, highlighting infrastructural and administrative requirements for effective ITS deployment.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze changes in daily life and urban activity patterns to understand new interaction mechanisms between recipients and cities, and how these circumstances reshape recipients' perceptions of cities in the absence of the usual urban rhythms. The study attempts to highlight forms of beauty that emerged or were rediscovered during the crisis. Method: The effects of epidemics on cities were examined through a historical review and critical analysis of the spread of epidemics, up to and including the Coronavirus, and their impact on urban life and development processes. Results: It was concluded that, despite the severity of the crisis, the precautionary measures were a double-edged sword as they allowed for a reconsideration of urban aesthetics from new angles, it was realized that the concept of city aesthetics is not just a normative structure with strict rules, but a concept linked to its reality (context). The crisis also encouraged us to think about the role of urban planning in the context of health crises and to consider how it can demonstrate flexibility and beauty simultaneously. This involves providing strategies and solutions that align with the nature of people's lives and the characteristics of each area. This would enhance the city's capacity to withstand crises and its ability to fulfill the fundamental needs of the population, as well as aesthetic and psychological requirements. Novelty: This crisis is a unique experience that invites us to reconsider how cities are designed and how we live in them, shifting the focus from consumers to partners in shaping their aesthetic meaning.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to assess land degradation and desertification risk in Lailan Subdistrict by integrating remote sensing indices to identify environmental stressors affecting agricultural productivity. Method: Landsat OLI 8 satellite imagery and ArcGIS 10.4.1 were employed to analyze three key indicators: the Desertification Risk Index (DRI), Normalized Multi-band Drought Index (NMDI), and Soil Salinity Index (SI). Results: The total study area of 694.84 km² was classified into five desertification risk levels, ranging from low (6.51%) to extreme (10.15%). Moderate and severe drought collectively affected over 57% of the area, with extreme drought alone covering 39.14%. Soil salinity varied widely, with moderate (31.20%) and high salinity (27.45%) dominating the landscape, while very high salinity (>30 dS/m) affected 8.65% of the area. Overall, more than 70% of the subdistrict was exposed to critical risks driven by combined drought stress, salinization, and unsustainable land use. Novelty: By integrating multiple remote sensing indices, this research provides a comprehensive spatial assessment of desertification risks, offering practical insights for sustainable land management strategies, including improved irrigation, salt-tolerant crops, vegetation restoration, and long-term monitoring.

Abstract

Objective: Groundwater represents the most important source for sustaining agriculture and maintaining socio-economic development, especially in arid and semi-arid regions such as Iraq’s western desert, as surface water is scarce. Method: Al-Saqi Alternative Water Project in Karbala province represents one of the most important projects, which depends on GW to cultivate different types of corps, has adopted the latest agricultural technologies and smart fertilization systems under the supervision of specialized companies, so that 3 main scenarios were put forward in order to get the optimal exploitation for the whole area of project (35000 dunums) with no leading to GW scarcity. Results: First scenario includes planting only wheat, proved to be a sustainable scenario, whereas the second one involved cultivating many summer and winter crops (each for the whole area), which showed markable risk. In the last scenario, it was assumed that a mix of summer crops is planted together evenly and so on for Winter crops, which eventually showed partial success. Novelty: The outcomes of this study emphasised that crop type selection and land-use plan play a vital role in maintaining groundwater sustainability.
