Abstract

General Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain a significant global health concern, frequently complicated by the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among common uropathogens. Specific Background: In Iraq, increasing rates of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, particularly Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, have limited therapeutic options and complicated clinical management. Knowledge Gap: Despite numerous studies on global AMR, region-specific data on uropathogen prevalence and susceptibility profiles in northern Iraq remain scarce. Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from UTI patients in Mosul, Iraq, to guide empirical treatment and inform antimicrobial stewardship. Results: Among 173 isolates, E. coli (34.7%), K. pneumoniae (23.1%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.3%) were predominant. The highest susceptibility was observed with Meropenem (95.4%) and Imipenem (92.5%), while Ciprofloxacin resistance reached 42.2%, indicating restricted treatment options. Novelty: The study provides the most recent regional data on uropathogen distribution and resistance trends in Mosul, integrating microbiological surveillance with demographic analysis. Implications: These findings underscore the urgent need for continuous resistance monitoring, rational antibiotic use, and local antimicrobial stewardship programs to curb the spread of resistant uropathogens and improve clinical outcomes.Highlight : E. coli remains the leading uropathogen in UTIs, followed by K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa. High resistance to Ciprofloxacin (42.2%) indicates limited treatment options. Regular surveillance of antibiotic resistance is essential for effective therapy and control.

Abstract

Background: Infrastructure development is central to national progress, yet it often generates displacement, environmental degradation, and social tension for communities near project areas. Specific Background: Although Indonesia possesses legal frameworks governing land acquisition and administrative procedures, affected communities frequently face limited transparency, insufficient participation, and restricted access to administrative remedies. Knowledge Gap: Prior studies predominantly emphasize agrarian and civil law, leaving the role of State Administrative Law in community legal protection insufficiently examined. Aims: This study explores how State Administrative Law provides legal protection for communities during infrastructure development through administrative instruments, procedures, and dispute-resolution mechanisms. Results: Findings reveal that administrative safeguards remain weak due to inconsistent application of administrative procedures, inadequate oversight, and ineffective preventive mechanisms, often pushing communities to rely on administrative litigation such as PTUN. Novelty: The study offers a four-pillar framework consisting of regulatory strengthening, professional and transparent bureaucracy, reinforced preventive and repressive administrative enforcement, and community empowerment through participatory access to justice. Implications: Strengthening administrative law mechanisms is essential to ensure that infrastructure development aligns with good governance principles and guarantees fair, accountable, and accessible legal protection for affected communities. Highlights: Administrative law serves as a key foundation for ensuring community legal protection in infrastructure development. Limited transparency and weak oversight hinder the enforcement of community rights. Strengthened administrative mechanisms are necessary to uphold fairness and accountability in development processes. Keywords State Administrative Law, Legal Protection, Infrastructure Development, Public Participation, Governance Compliance

Abstract

General Background: Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s most important cereal crops, serving as a key food, feed, and industrial raw material. In Iraq, maize productivity remains below the global average due to nutrient imbalances and suboptimal fertilization practices. Specific Background: Potassium plays a crucial physiological role in plant growth, yet its availability is limited in many Iraqi soils. Additionally, humic acid, when applied as a foliar spray, enhances nutrient absorption and photosynthetic efficiency. Knowledge Gap: Limited studies have explored the interactive effects of potassium fertilization and foliar-applied humic acid on maize vegetative growth under Iraqi soil conditions. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the response of maize (cv. 5018) vegetative traits to different levels of potassium (120 and 140 kg ha⁻¹) and humic acid (3 and 4 ml L⁻¹) applied through foliar feeding. Results: The results showed that 120 kg ha⁻¹ potassium significantly enhanced plant height (249.50 cm), stem diameter (2.38 cm), number of leaves (15.64 plant⁻¹), and dry weight (182.94 g). Foliar application of humic acid at 4 ml L⁻¹ further improved stem diameter and leaf number. Novelty: This research highlights the synergistic potential of potassium and humic acid in optimizing maize vegetative performance in potassium-limited soils. Implications: The findings provide a practical basis for refining fertilization strategies to enhance maize productivity in similar agroecological regions.Highlight : Potassium levels of 120 and 140 kg ha⁻¹ increased plant height and stem diameter.

Abstract

General Background: The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed legal relations through the emergence of smart contracts and crypto asset transactions operating autonomously on blockchain systems. Specific Background: Although these digital contracts promise efficiency and certainty, their automated and decentralized nature raises complex legal issues when force majeure events—such as cyberattacks, system failures, or sudden regulatory changes—disrupt contractual performance. Knowledge Gap: Existing civil law doctrines on force majeure and contractual liability are primarily designed for human-centered agreements and remain inadequate to address responsibility in algorithm-driven systems, particularly within Indonesia’s legal framework. Aims: This study aims to analyze legal liability for force majeure in crypto asset digital contracts through a philosophical examination of legal rationality in the digital era. Results: Using normative–philosophical analysis, the study finds that traditional fault-based liability and positivistic legal rationality require reconstruction to accommodate technological risks and automated execution. Novelty: The research introduces an adaptive, reflective conception of legal rationality that integrates technological realities with principles of justice, certainty, and utility. Implications: These findings imply the need for explicit force majeure clauses, shared responsibility models, and adaptive legal interpretation to ensure fair and effective regulation of digital contracts in the evolving crypto ecosystem. Highlights: Force majeure in crypto-based smart contracts involves technological and regulatory risks beyond traditional doctrines. Automated and decentralized contract execution challenges fault-based and human-centered legal liability concepts. Adaptive legal rationality is essential to balance legal certainty, justice, and technological innovation in the digital era.
