The Establishing of Geospatial Database for Agricultural Lands of Islamic WAQF In Iraq: Case Study Babil Province

In numerous countries, one of the most significant pieces of background records is a religious endowment that usually called (WAQF), which have a cultural, and economic value. For instance, in Iraq, religious endowments comprise a large number of dispersed real estates and lands usually required effective administration methods. Agricultural lands that belonged to religious endowments lack of sufficient systems, which are combined statistical and spatial information in terms of spatial monitoring and informatics updating such as ownership and existing condition. Recently, geospatial techniques such as GIS showed a feasibility in the management of information belonged to lands management. Therefore, in this study we proposed a method based on GIS technology for the management of lands of Islamic endowments in Babil province, Iraq. The proposed methodology included the integration between field works using GPS equipment and Geospatial database. The developed database is considered as the first geodatabase related to the agricultural lands of the religious endowment in Iraq included almost all coordinates and specific details for each piece of agricultural lands that owned by the endowment. Furthermore, the output geodatabase is a flexible database included various features like query, search, and statistical computation.

This research uses qualitative research methods. It is used in a study to obtain a qualitative description and will be dominated by words, sentences, and descriptions and rarely uses numerical data. In discussing the existing problems, the writers use Campbell and Duncan’s theory of effectiveness. The result of the study shows that there are problems that make the policy of administering state property ineffective due to the lack of inventory implementation and the lack of resources for managing state-owned goods so that a better understanding of the policy of administering state-owned goods will have a significant impact on improving the administration of state-owned goods so that resulting in a more effective administration of state-owned goods.

Emerging Strategies to Big Data Analytics in Healthcare

Big data is gigantic measures of data that can do some incredible things. It has gotten a subject specifically compelling for as long as two decades in view of a high potential that is covered up in it. Different open and private part ventures create, store, and break down huge information to improve the administrations they give. In the social insurance industry, various hotspots for huge information incorporate emergency clinic records, clinical records of patients, aftereffects of clinical assessments, and gadgets that are a piece of the web of things. Biomedical examination additionally creates a critical bit of enormous information pertinent to open medicinal services. This information requires legitimate administration and examination to determine important data. Something else, looking for an answer by breaking down large information rapidly gets tantamount to finding a needle in the pile. There are different difficulties related with each progression of dealing with huge information which must be outperformed by utilizing very good quality registering answers for huge information investigation. That is the reason, to give significant answers for improving general wellbeing, social insurance suppliers are required to be completely outfitted with proper framework to produce and examine huge information methodically. Effective administration, examination, and understanding of large information can change the game by opening new roads for present day human services. That is exactly why different ventures, including the human services industry, are finding a way to change over this potential into better administrations and budgetary focal points. With a protected mix of biomedical and social insurance information, present day human services associations can upset the clinical treatments and customized medication.

A Study on Critical Factors of Tax Compliance Behaviour among Small and Medium Enterprises in Libya

Tax compliance can be described as the level to which taxpayers obey or fail to obey the rules of taxation of their country. This is an admitted fact that the aim of an effective administration of tax is to enhance the voluntary compliance of tax with the use of all possible approaches that may include penalties as well. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the tax compliance behaviour among small and medium enterprises in Libya. This study provides a cornerstone for those who are looking for the reasons for tax compliance to be low. Therefore, this study examines the determinants of tax compliance and tax compliance behaviour. To achieve the goals of this study, a questionnaire survey was administered. Multiple regressions were used to test the formulated hypotheses. The results of this study show how the behaviour of tax compliance can be influenced by poor awareness, unfair taxes, low morale, strict authorities, tax rate and tax penalties. In relation to the practical and theoretical contributions, so far, to the best of the researcher’s knowledge, no scientific research has been done on this. This research would assist politicians, tax officials and the government of Libya in researching this phenomenon. Keywords: Tax compliance, Tax compliance behaviour, Determinants of tax, Tax knowledge, Tax penalty

Procedures for Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Murine Microbiome Studies

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been widely recognized as an approach to determine the microbiome’s causal role in gut dysbiosis-related disease models and as a novel disease-modifying therapy. Despite potential beneficial FMT results in various disease models, there is a variation and complexity in procedural agreement among research groups for performing FMT. The viability of the microbiome in feces and its successful transfer depends on various aspects of donors, recipients, and lab settings. This review focuses on the technical practices of FMT in animal studies. We first document crucial factors required for collecting, handling, and processing donor fecal microbiota for FMT. Then, we detail the description of gut microbiota depletion methods, FMT dosages, and routes of FMT administrations in recipients. In the end, we describe assessments of success rates of FMT with sustainability. It is critical to work under the anaerobic condition to preserve as much of the viability of bacteria. Utilization of germ- free mice or depletion of recipient gut microbiota by antibiotics or polyethylene glycol are two common recipient preparation approaches to achieve better engraftment. Oral-gastric gavage preferred by most researchers for fast and effective administration of FMT in mice. Overall, this review highlights various methods that may lead to developing the standard and reproducible protocol for FMT.
