Article Abstract
Mining is one of the most risky and dangerous sectors. It is impossible to ignore the losses of life and material experienced by occupational accidents, which take place in the field of mining. Risk analysis begins with a risk assessment to identify the probability and severity of workplace hazards. Hazards must be controlled by precautions according to the risk score levels. In this study, a fault tree analysis method was conducted to analyze spontaneous combustion hazards and to predict future risks in underground coal mines. Three main causes of the top event were defined and for each of these causes, risk scores were computed using a fault tree analysis. Finally, the causes of spontaneous combustion, which is an event that is frequently encountered in coal mines, were discussed, and the spontaneous combustion risk probability was calculated as 0.3012 in cases of air entry into the gob and failure to prevent coal-air contact in development drifts. As a result of the study, the fundamental causes of spontaneous combustion, the greatest hazard in underground coal mining worldwide, have been examined in detail. The innovative approach introduced by the study aims to increase the awareness and recognition of conditions that lead to spontaneous combustion among industry workers and engineers through detailed evaluation. By doing so, it seeks to minimize the occurrence of spontaneous combustion incidents.•This paper introduces a main flowchart and countermeasure algorithm to prevent spontaneous combustion.•This paper also analyzes events which trigger spontaneous combustion and mentioned preventive measures for this events.

Background And Aims: The presence of sections or chapters on spontaneous human combustion in more than half of the key texts in English on the action of alcohol on the body and mind in the first half of the nineteenth century demonstrates the seriousness with which it was considered. We aimed to chart discussions about the links between spontaneous human combustion and spirit drinking in medical texts and representations in fiction through three key chronological periods from 1804 to 1900.
Methods: A contextual analysis using eighteenth- and nineteenth-century historical, literary and medical sources to chart and reflect on public and medical discourses.

Article Synopsis
- The positive pressure beam tube system is an improved method for monitoring coal spontaneous combustion, addressing problems of gas composition distortion and delays seen in negative pressure systems.
- This study focuses on experimenting with factors like pressurization device choice, pipe length, diameter, and pressure to understand their effects on gas transmission characteristics.
- Results show that two-stage high positive pressure transport (0.65 MPa) and a pipe diameter of 7 mm lead to the most effective gas transmission, while longer pipelines require higher pressures to maintain efficiency.

Article Synopsis
- * Experiments showed that mine water treatment alters key temperature points and chemical properties of coal, with specific temperatures rising and falling, and increased release of gases like CO and CO2.
- * The study concludes that while the acidity of mine water enhances CSC activity due to water swelling, the inorganic salts present are insufficient to inhibit combustion, suggesting mine water primarily promotes CSC.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on creating and using magnetic copper ferrite (CuFeO) nanoparticles to effectively remove acid red 88 and crystal violet dyes from water using a combustion synthesis method involving succinic and malic acids as fuels.
- - The synthesized nanoparticles had average sizes of 28.54 nm (malic acid) and 19.79 nm (succinic acid), and optimal dye removal occurred at pH 2 for acid red 88 and pH 10 for crystal violet, requiring a contact time of 80 minutes and 0.05 g of adsorbent in 100 mL solutions.
- - The nanoparticles achieved high dye removal capacities, exceeding 452 mg/g for acid red 88
