To achieve the goal of research that requires preparation tools, first test of scientific thinking which consisted of (7) skills which are: (a sense of the problem, identify the problem, the imposition of hypotheses, selecting hypotheses, the conclusion, application, and holds tremendous) that distributed to (3) positions The first (the job) and the second (static objects) and third (reflectance total). Each position on the (7) questions and four alternatives, second tool was a measure of the trend towards physics, which consisted of (22) paragraph and followed by (5) alternatives by Likert scale, with a degree (very large, large, medium, and few, very few). The researchers used statistical analysis t-test for two independent samples & t-test for interrelated samples also Pearson correlation coefficient with (SPSS) statistical program. The equation of alpha-Cronbach (a-Cronbach) also used, the researchers found: 1. No statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the two tests dimensional search for members of the two groups (experimental and control) the experimental group better than control one, which was enriched with e-learning teaching method. 2. No statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the trend dimensional scale for members of the two groups of research (experimental and control) the experimental group better than control one, which was enriched with e-learning teaching method. The researchers applied conclusions & number of recommendations including: Work on the provision of computers and the device (data show) in the classroom so as to allow sufficient time to use for teachers and students. As well as the proposal of some proposals, including: Enrich the physics curriculum for intermediate school with computer and its effectiveness in the development of deductive thinking and orientation towards physics.

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel illness that can affect any portion of the GI tract, including the colon. The CD is caused by an abnormal immune response to microbiota in the gastrointestinal system, and it can develop in those genetically predisposed to it. Inflammatory bowel disease, on the other hand, is well-acknowledged to be a complex condition in which intrinsic genetic factors may play a role. Cytokine genes are thought to be crucial in inflammatory bowel disease. Interleukin 18, a newly discovered proinflammatory cytokine, has lately been related to CD and other inflammatory bowel diseases. In the current investigation, 79 biopsy samples were taken from CD patients and control subjects of both sexes and ages during the period from October 2022 to March 2023 from Teaching Hospital Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Medical City, Baghdad, of the study was to determine the levels of Interleukin -18 (IL-18), in CD individuals and compare with the healthy group and the risk of developing CD.

Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative facultative anaerobe bacillus isolated from the human gastrointestinal tract that has recently been linked to Crohn's disease (CD) recurrence after bowel resection. CD is an inflammatory bowel disease that affects the entire gastrointestinal tract, including the mouth and anus. Inflammation, ulcers, and other damage to the digestive tract lining characterize it. In the current study, CD patients as well as controls provided 79 biopsy samples of both sexes and ages from the Teaching Hospital Gastroenterology and Hepatology, medical city, Baghdad, from October 2022 to March 2023, to detect Proteus mirabilis (P. mirablis) bacteria, as well as the results of biochemical tests and the Vitek 2 system. P. mirablis was subjected to a PCR assay using particular primers that targeted the genes ureR and Urease C (ureC), which encode for the urease enzyme, a virulence factor in Proteus species.

The present article examines a narrative of darkness to illuminate the rhetoric of haunting and monstrosity. Gothicity evokes a sense of indeterminateness and it dramatizes disruptive incorporeal occurrences as interrogated in Ahmed Saadawi's Frankenstein in Baghdad, a war Frankenfiction. It stages horror to chronicle national disintegration through the rise of a sewn-together zombie to mark the appalling arrival of the Iraqi dissenter. The new twenty-first-century monster is a zombie to defy marginality and to associate monstrosity with deviance and abnormality. Within this rationale, the present study investigates the aesthetics of Postcolonial Gothic politics to examine the use of the supernatural, the grotesque body, the monstrous abject, and the haunted ruins to depict a dismembered nation through the deployment of eerie motifs and surreal techniques. My premise fleshes out the Frankenstein hubris to dismantle the US political culture in Iraq. The aim is to reframe the modern Gothic monster as an emblem of reverse colonialism to defy the imperialist ideologies and to articulate past trauma through the rhetoric of bodily horror, haunting and ghostly fear.

The goal of this study was to find out how much flavonoids and phenols were in propolis from different parts of Iraq (Haji Omeran, Rania, Baqubah, Nahrwan, Abu ghraib, Muhanawia, Al-Husainia and Hindiya), as well as how much antioxidant capacity it has. The content of flavonoids and phenols was determined by the aluminum nitrate method and the Folin-Ciocalteu method. The free radical scavenging activity of propolis evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay and the IC50 (concentration required to obtain a 50% antioxidant effect) the results revealed that activity vitamin C 0.134mg/ml as free radical scavenging increased. when is compared with phenols compounds propolis from Al-Husainia 0.271mg/ml, Rania 0.281 mg/ml and Haji Omeran 0.323 mg/ml compared with another regions of Iraq. In this study, we characterized the chemical constituents of different propolis by HPLC compared them with 8 propolis from different regions of Iraq. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Blood borne transmitted diseases are a major public health problem worldwide, which has a significant socioeconomic impact, especially in developing countries. Objectives: To determine the infection rate of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and human immunodeficiency virus among blood donors attended to Blood Bunk in Baqubah City, Diyala, Iraq. Patients and Methods: Cross sectional study which conducted at Blood Bunk in Baqubah City. All data presented in this paper were collected from blood donors, males 2729 and females 71; they’re aged from 17-62 years; during the period from 1st July 2018 till 1st October 2018. Blood samples were collected from all participants then analyzed by use different enzyme linked immunosorrbent assay (ELISA) kits. Results: High frequency of HBsAg (13.82%) was noticed in this study followed by HCV and HIV 9.25% and 0.61% respectively. Infection in males more than females, and most positive HBV, HIV were in the age group 17-37 years and HCV in age group 38-57 years. Blood group O+ve individuals were commonly infected with HBV, 188 (48.58%), HCV 12(52.85%) and HIV, 3(37.5%) as compared with all other blood group donors, followed by another percentage regarding others, blood group B+ve individuals were commonly infected with HBV 97 (25.07%) after blood group O+ve. Blood group A+ve individuals were commonly infected with HCV 9 (32.15%) after blood group O+ve. While, HIV is an equal number reported in A+ve and B+ve blood group individuals. Low percentage was noticed to blood group AB+ve. However, higher number of Rh D positive donors than Rh D negative Conclusions: There were association between viral infections (HBV, HCV, HIV) and blood group of donors, infections with HBV were more than other viruses and common in males and age group (17-37) years.

Recent studies proofed vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency had been involved in the emerging of many autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. The study aim was to evaluate vitamin D3 serum level in RA Babylon province patients and the relationship with BMI and progressive of this disease. A case-control study was conducted in a private OZONE medical center of rheumatology and physical treatment, Babylon province, Iraq. A total of 30 serum samples of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cases were enrolled and compared with 30 serum samples of apparently healthy control. The serum level of vitamin D was detected for all study samples by VIDAS® system from bio Mérieux, French. A total of 30 include 11 males and 19(63.4%) females divided into three groups of deficiency sufficiency and insufficiency. The age (years) mean ±SD were 47.7 ±12.06, 47.03 ±12.39 for RA patients and control respectively. The BMI (kg/m2) mean ±SD was 37.08 ±4.6714, 33.506 ±4.6059 for RA and control respectively, and the obesity was significant in RA patients (P=0.004). The number frequency of the two study groups was appeared significant (P< 0.0001, P=0.0003) in both categories; deficiency and normal vitamin D respectively, while insufficient vitamin D did not reveal significant differences between both RA and control. The overall serum level means ±SD was 17.63± 10.61, 33.3±12.73 for RA patient (n=30) and healthy control (n=30) respectively, and appeared high significance (P<0.0001). The serum level of vitamin D was noticed significantly decreased in RA patients compared to control. The study concluded in presence of a positive relationship between BMI and RA onset, and a negative relationship between vitamin D and developing RA is almost obese females over forty years and consider one of the predisposing factors for developing RA disease.

In this study, 18 samples of soil were taken from various zones in Babel City, which is one of the governorates located in central Iraq, south of the capital Baghdad. It is the fifth-largest city in terms of population in Iraq. These models were accumulated from various locations on various dates and were stored for one month under ordinary research focus conditions. This storage time is imperative to obtain radiological equilibration in the models before checking for the intermingling of basic radioactive material in the models. Six radionuclides were found in the Babel soil tests: Bi-214, Ra-226, TI-208, Bi-212, Pb-212, and K-40. Two of the radionuclides (Bi- 214 and Ra-226) have a spot with the U-238 course of action. Three radionuclides (TI-208, Bi- 212, and Pb-212) have a spot with the Th-232 series, and one is the basic radionuclide K-40. The least average activity of the radionuclides in all models using the NaI(Tl) detector was that of Tl- 208, which 1.12 Bq/kg was. Yet, the most critical activity of the radionuclides in all models was K- 40, which was 169.08 Bq/kg. The external natural radioactivity for all Baghdad soils was 0.481 mSv·y-1, which is low compared to what has been considered the annual limit at 1 mSv·y-1 according to UNSCEAR.
