Bu çalışma, Ahmet Taşğın tarafından yayınlanan Menâkıb-ı Şeyh Safi Musul Buyruğu isimli eseri konu almaktadır. Irak Alevi Bektaşileri hakkında uzun zamandan beri çalışma yapan Taşğın, Alevi ...Bektaşilerin Türkiye dışında da varlığını ortaya koymakla kalmamış aynı zamanda Buyruk metinlerinin de yine Türkiye dışında da olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Taşğın’ın bu çerçevede yürüttüğü çalışmalar Türkiye’de ilktir. Menâkıb-ı Şeyh Safi adıyla literatürde yer alan Buyruklardan Irak’ın Musul şehrindeki nüsha, Muhammed Hamid Sarraf tarafından eş-Şebek isimli eserin bir bölümü olarak yayınlanmıştır. Sarraf’ın yayınladığı Buyruk nüshasını bölümlere ayırırken eksik bıraktığı ve yanlış okuduğu kısımlar ikmal edilmiştir.
Background: This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of MS in Mosul City. Methods: A retrospective study was applied in Mosul City for the period between (2020-2000). MS patient’s ...outpatient of Ibn-Sina Teaching hospital in Mosul City. Assessment of MS status: for the assessment of MS status the Kurtzke EDSS was used. EDSS was based on ten scores (0-10) and categorized the MS severity into three level; mild disability (EDSS, 0.0 to 3.5), moderate disability (EDSS, 4.0 to 6.5), and severe disability (EDSS, 7.0 to 9.5). Microsoft Excel file was used to analyzed the data, number, percentage, Mean and Standard deviation were computed analyze all demographic and clinical variables. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Mosul Health Directorate, at Mosul City –Iraq. Results: the study found that the mean age of patients (34.7) among men and (32.9) among women. The mean age at onset is (28.9) among men and 27.9 among women. In relation to family history 89.8% of men and 93.9% of women don’t have positive family history with MS. The majority of patent have Relapsing- remitting. Conclusion: In conclusion, the prevalence of MS has been steadily rising in the Mosul city over the past few decades.

This study is about the work named Menâkıb-ı Şeyh Safi Musul Order published by Ahmet Taşğın. Taşğın, who has been working on the Iraqi Alevi Bektashis for a long time, has not only revealed the ...existence of the Alevi Bektashis outside of Turkey, but also revealed that the Buyruk texts are also outside of Turkey. The works carried out by Taşğın in this framework are the first in Turkey. The copy in the city of Mosul, Iraq, which is one of the Commandments included in the literature under the name of Menâkıb-ı Şeyh Safi, was published by Muhammed Hamid Sarraf as a part of the work named Eş-Şebek.
The identity of Islamic cities is distinctly manifested through their congregational mosques, primarily characterized by their continuous and stable function, epitomized by the five daily ...congregational prayers. The performance of a mosque is intricately linked to a set of religious, organizational, structural, and economic determinants. and it is closely tied to the functional and architectural attributes of its elements and spaces. The historic congregational mosques in the Islamic world have predominantly adhered to the architectural model of the Prophet's Mosque, characterized by its rectangular form. In modern mosques, various factors such as technological advancements, and cultural and scientific influences have led to architectural trends and stylistic innovations. These innovations have aimed to enhance the efficiency and performance of congregational mosques, one of which is the octagonal form. The research problem centred on the utilization of the octagonal shape and its adaptability in the context of the congregational mosques in the city of Mosul and its suitability for optimal mosque functioning. The research sought to elucidate the appropriateness of employing the octagonal form in congregational mosques by analysing samples with octagonal layouts in Mosul to investigate the extent to which this form influenced the characteristics of the mosque. The research concluded that all octagonal layouts had undergone modifications and expansions to rectify the unsuitable layout, indicating that the octagonal form is foreign to the traditional mosque typology. Furthermore, it is subject to additional alterations to accommodate the functional and architectural requirements of the congregational mosque.
The article discusses the reports and accounts of the Alliance Israélite Universelle and Zionist emissaries regarding life Jewish Quarter of Mosul (Mahallat al-Yahud) during the first half of the ...twentieth century. As a dynamic and open Jewish space, the quarter expressed the development of the Jewish community in the 'city of two springs', as Mosul was known among its inhabitants. The article discusses the ideological perceptions expressed in the accounts of the emissaries on life in the Jewish Quarter. The emissaries concentrated on aspects relating to the process of modernization, while describing the Jewish Quarter as a Jewish ghetto.
Building stones have various mineralogical, textures, microstructures, and physical and mechanical properties. Limestone, dolomite, and gypsum stone samples were taken from the old city of Mosul, ...which was destroyed due to the liberation operation of the city. From the study of the rock segments, it appeared that there was a low percentage of the pores that were formed due to the dissolution process, as well as the effect of weathering was a few centimeters in depth. From the results of the physical tests of the samples, it appeared that the density of the limestone is low to high for the grey gypsum. The grey gypsum has zero porosity, while low in gypsum and medium to high in dolomite and limestone, respectively. The rate of forced water absorption varies, and the reason is the difference in the porosity as it increases with connected pores, which in term leads to an increase in the amount of absorbed water. According to the results of the mechanical tests of the rocks, the compressive strength was low to medium, and the durability of the rocks was high, this confirms the validity of the rocks in the study area as unloading bearing stones. The economic feasibility results from not transporting the old rocks, but rather using them in the same site in the city. These huge quantities of stones, which took a great deal of work and money to bring to the city from the outskirts, cannot be wasted by transporting them outside the city because it will cause significant pollution and cost time and money, whereas they can be used in the reconstruction of the destroyed city, for instance, unloading bearing stones.
This study examines the vibrations produced by hydropower operations to improve embankment dam safety. This study consists of two parts: In the first part, ANSYS-CFX was used to generate a ...three-dimensional (3-D) finite volume (FV) model to simulate a vertical Francis turbine unit in the Mosul hydropower plant. The pressure pattern result of the turbine model was transformed into the dam body to show how the turbine unit's operation affects the dam's stability. The upstream reservoir conditions, various flow rates, and fully open inlet gates were considered. In the second part of this study, a 3-D FE Mosul dam model was simulated using an ANSYS program. The operational turbine model's water pressure pattern is conveyed to the dam's turbine-shared zone. The maximal and minimal upstream reservoir water levels were investigated. A control program was created depending on the principle stress model results collected from the operation of the hydropower plant with the minimum principal stress on the dam body. This research suggests an enhanced turbine operating system, reducing stress on the dam body and increasing dam operation life.
One of the most serious threats to social, cultural and economic structures is wars and armed struggles which causes damages at all levels. The forefront of these damages is the destruction of the ...architecture associated with society, which represents the identity of the community, and has a symbolic value that must be preserved. In this paper, we will attempt to use a computer program to classify demolished residential buildings in the old city of Mosul by inserting the basic variables chosen into the program with hypothetical data to classify them in unselected groups previously, so that the more similar buildings will be into one group. The computer classifies the buildings according to the selected variables and then distributes them to different groups
