Not being known profoundly, the novel virus of the Coronaviruses family has already caused more than half a million deaths and put the lives of many more people in danger. Policymakers have implemented preventive measures to curb the outbreak of the virus, and health practitioners along with epidemiologists have pointed out many social and hygienic factors associated with the virus incidence and mortality. However, a clearer vision of how the various factors cited hitherto can affect total death in different communities is yet to be analyzed. This study has put this issue forward. Applying artificial intelligence techniques, the relationship between COVID‐19 death toll and determinants mentioned as strongly influential in earlier studies was investigated. In the first stage, employing Best‐Worst Method, the weight of the primer contributing factor, effectiveness of strategies, was estimate...

Furthermore I aim to see how their integration ideas are made into real actions taken by the municipality. With theories on the subjects of integration, multiculturalism, recognition, justice and equality I aim to explain the choices of action taken by Malmö municipality. The empirical study used in this thesis is current integration policies at Malmö municipality and their different projects that have been implemented to reach their integration goals. The method used in this study is ideological criticism which is going to be applied on Malmö municipality's integration policy. The conclusion is that Malmö municipality has a clear vision of integration which is that the individual should be able to take an active role in participating and being a part of the community and its progress without having to loose or change their personal and cultural identity. To achieve an equal society they believe it is necessary to create work opportunities and spaces where citizens from different groups can meet naturally and equally.

This thesis examines how the United States of America justified their cooperation with the Iranian Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi during the period of 1953-1979, until he was overthrown by his own people. This case-study doesn't make general conclusions about the US foreign policy towards other countries except Iran. The theoretical starting point for the empirical analysis is the political dilemma of dirty hands. With the analytical instrument, constructed with a normative analysis about the concept of dirty hands, it's possible to discover which ethical discipline the American presidents had to uphold to justify their actions. There are three different aspects of their cooperation which are lifted in this thesis. The first one is about the circumstances that made them begin their cooperation, the second regards the features of the cooperation. The last aspect is the fact that the presidents had to accept the Shah's disrespect to the human rights so they could continue their collaboration. In conclusion if the presidents uphold a consequentialistic standpoint, they can morally justify their cooperation with an autocratic state, in this case Iran.

These processes utilize eco-friendly, rapid, and cost-effective techniques. The present study focuses on the bacterial synthesis of AgNPs, their biological activity, and the efficiency of biodegradation of Disperse Blue 183. Twenty bacterial isolates were obtained from the Kashan textile industry effluent. Of these, a silver resistant (strain N) was selected to synthesize AgNPs. The biochemical, phenotypic characterization test and phylogenetic analysis based on comparing the 16SrDNA sequence determined that the strain N was 97.24% similar to Marinospirillum alkaliphilum. The strain N was able to synthesis silver nanoparticles. The AgNPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR and XRD. The results of SEM-EDX confirmed the size of AgNPs within 30-70 nm range with a cubic shape. The results showed that AgNPs have as an antimicrobial effect against different standard and multidrug resistant bacteria. The toxicity of AgNPs was evaluated using Artemia salina and recorded the LC 50 value (1 µg.ml − 1). Decolorization of Disperse Blue 183 was studied using immobilized AgNPs and AgNPs powder separately. The results showed that immobilized AgNPs decolorized Disperse Blue 183 with 100% efficiency. AgNPs powder and Ca-Alg beads have no decolorization ability.

The model was based on the hydrophobic porous membranes, in which the organic phase fills the membrane pores in a co-current and counter current liquid–liquid contact. The model was then validated for various aqueous and organic flow rates with the experimental data obtained for phenol removal from aqueous phase using polypropylene membrane. The results showed that increasing aqueous phase flow rates reduces the percentage of phenol separation from aqueous solution.
