This development is driven by the industrial need to further the understanding of real physical phenomena in order to develop and design safer and more efficient products which are environmentally friendly.</p> <p align="justify">Such analyses and investigations were impossible to perform a number of years ago due to a lack of powerful computing systems. However, the advances in computer hardware have led to more sophisticated investigations brought about by increased computation speeds. Since this has been accompanied by new software packages which exploit the improved architecture of new generation microprocessors, there have been dramatic improvements in the coupling of many mathematical simulation techniques. Many research establishments are comparing the results of such studies with experimental tests to improve modelling accuracy and validate the processes for future certification.</p> <p align="justify">There is now a number of large science and engineering communities whose research is being customised towards multiphysics analytical and simulation methods in order to save costs and reduce time to market with the use of rapid prototyping. Although these communities have been publishing their research outcomes in various journals dedicated to their unique scientific disciplines, the publishing of many studies which combine the knowledge from various scientific approaches has been confined to proceedings associated with various international forums. It is with this in mind,The <strong>International Journal of Multiphysics</strong>, has been created to address this gap in order to provide a more focussed publication.</p> <p align="justify">The scope of the journal is to address the latest advances in theoretical developments, numerical modelling and industrial applications which will promote the concept of simultaneous engineering. Typical combinations would involve a selection from subject disciplines such as Acoustics, Electrics, Explosives, Fire, Fluids, Magnetic, Soil, Structures, and Thermodynamics.</p> <p align="justify">This journal aims to publish high-quality findings of basic research and development as well as engineering applications.</p> <p align="justify">The editorial board members of the journal are highly respected and internationally recognised in various fields of Multiphysics and they represent both academia and industry.</p>https://themultiphysicsjournal.com/index.php/ijm/article/view/2223Evaluation of Changes in Cadmium and Copper levels for Diabetes Mellitus 2026-04-21T03:34:45+00:00Haneen W. Khadum Al- Khalidiaa@a.com<p> Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which disequilibrium of necessary and toxics trace elements may have an important role in pathogenesis and complications. This study aimed to assess the alterations in serum concentrations of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) among diabetic patients compared with healthy subjects, as well as their correlation. A sample of 20 diabetics and 10 normal persons were recruited for a case control study. Serum Cd and Cu levels were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed that the average blood Cd concentration in diabetic patients (7.67 ± 2.51 µg/L) was significantly higher than that of healthy controls (2.53 ± 0.56 µg/L; P < 0.001), indicating a heavy accumulation of cadmium among the diabetics with respect to the control subjects. By contrast, the average Cu concentration was weakly higher, not significant difference (1.17 ± 0.065 vs 1.13 ± 0.12 µg/L; P = 0.734) in diabetic patients than control subjects were recorded (Table I). Further logistic regression showed a significant positive relationship between serum Cd and Cu levels in diabetes patients, which indicates that an increased cadmium exposure was able to affect copper metabolism, potentially leading to the occurrence of oxidative stress or enzyme perturbation with respect to diabetes. These results indicate that alteration of trace metal homoeostasis, especially the increase in cadmium and its association with copper, could be involved in metabolic and biochemical changes associated with diabetes mellitus. More research in larger cohorts is suggested to elucidate the mechanistic role of these factors in diabetic pathophysiology.</p>2026-04-21T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026 https://themultiphysicsjournal.com/index.php/ijm/article/view/2224Effect of Drilling Fluids and Crude Oil on Some Chemical Properties of Soil and Crops2026-04-21T03:36:45+00:00Mohammad Naser Saleh Alrakafaa@a.com<p>This research aims to study the effect of drilling fluids and crude oil on soil and crops, and to analyze the extent of chemical and physical changes that occur on the soil affected by oil pollution. The study relied on a review of scientific literature and case studies to assess the effects of oil pollutants, and pollution mitigation and waste oil management strategies were analyzed. The results showed that pollution with drilling fluids leads to high soil salinity and nutrient balance disturbance, while crude oil pollution increases organic carbon but causes plant stress due to high concentrations of some toxic elements. The study confirmed that strategies such as bioremediation and phytotherapy play an important role in restoring soil fertility and reducing the negative effects of pollution. The study recommends the need to improve prevention policies, strengthen environmental monitoring, and develop sustainable techniques to treat contaminated soil, with a view to achieving a balance between the exploitation of natural resources and environmental protection.</p>2026-04-21T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2026
