The center of heritage revival organizes workshop ( violence against woman in Iraqi society /legal study)

Under the supervision by prof. Dr. Alaa N. Jasim (the director of the center , the center of heritage revival organizes workshop entitled ( violence against woman in Iraqi society /legal study) , assist. Instructor Hind Amer fadhil (one of the center’s members ) presented a research entitled (lluminations in Understanding the Hadith “Deficient in Reason and Religion”) She spoke about the controversy surrounding the Hadith “Deficient in Reason and Religion” due to its misunderstanding as a diminution of women, while it is a description of a legal and biological reality. What is meant by deficiency in reason is the influence of emotion in some rulings, and by deficiency in religion, the omission of prayer and fasting during menstruation. The Hadith does not diminish the status of women, but rather shows complementary differences between the sexes according to Islamic law. Then, the researcher, M.M. Zainab Jamal Nowrouz, a lecturer at our center, gave a presentation entitled (The Impact of Iraqi Laws on Combating Violence Against Women). She introduced the Iraqi laws that contribute to combating violence against women by criminalizing some forms of violence, such as domestic violence. However, they face challenges in implementation and deterrence, despite the existence of articles in the law that punish abuse. However, the absence of a comprehensive law on domestic violence limits the full protection of victims. Human rights organizations are seeking to amend the laws and close loopholes to ensure greater protection for women. In conclusion, the director of the center thanked the two researchers, wishing them continued success in serving our university and our beloved Iraq.

The center of heritage organizes scientific symposium (Modern technology and its impact on preserving and verifying manuscript heritage) :

Under the supervision by prof. Dr. Alaa N. Jasim (the director of the center), the center of heritage revival/university of Baghdad organizes scientific symposium entitled (Modern technology and its impact on preserving and verifying manuscript heritage) where sited on the hall of Nabila A. Almunam in the center  in 19^th/3/2025 , he researcher, Prof. Dr. Zainab Kamel Karim, Head of the Teaching Manuscripts Department at our Center, gave a lecture entitled (Modern Technologies and the Zengi Platform for Preserving and Verifying Manuscripts). She spoke about the most prominent modern technologies in preserving and verifying manuscripts and the most important modern technological means and methods for processing and studying archaeological manuscripts, which have greatly facilitated the researcher in solving many of the problems that manuscripts are exposed to due to their distinctive fragile organic nature, or helping in unraveling some historical and cultural facts dating back to the time of their copying. The researcher emphasized that the most important technologies are digital imaging technology, which is a form of photography, but it uses digital technology to process images without chemical processing, which converts the image of the paper manuscript into an electronic image, and reflectance spectroscopy technology, which is analysis using infrared rays (IR), in addition to X-rays, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and modern technology for museum display of manuscripts. M.M. Walaa Diaa Nassif, a lecturer at our center, gave a lecture titled (The Role of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Preserving Manuscript Heritage and the Challenges and Problems Facing It).
