A field experiment was conducted in gypsiferous soil in Salah Al-Din governorate according to Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates, to study the effect of potassium fertilizer and salinity of irrigation water on growth, yield of onion and the amount of potassium residue in the soil after harvest. Potassium levels (0, 80 and 160) kg ha-1 were used from the source K2SO4 and the quality of irrigation water with EC levels (0.58, 2.02 and 3.38) dsm-1. The results showed that potassium fertilizer led to a significant increase in the growth and yield indicators studied and that there is a response in the gypsiferous soil added potassium. The salinity of the irrigation water used led to a significant increase in ready potassium (dissolved and exchanged) after harvest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A field experiment was carried out at Directorate of Seed Test and Certification for spring season 2019, in order to study effect of spraying magnesium and boron in growth and green yield on Vicia faba LUZ DE OTONO variety. The experiment included two factors, the first factor was spraying magnesium with a concentration (0, 1000, 2000 and 3000) mg.l-1 MgSO4.7H2O and the second factor was spraying boron with a concentration (0, 100 and 200) mg.l-1 boric acid. Liter-1. Factorial experiment was adopted according to RCBD with three replicates. Results showed that magnesium spray treatment 1000 mg.L-1 and boron spray treatment with a concentration of 100 mg.l-1 boric acid significantly increased plant height number of branches, dry weight of vegetative growth, ratio of chlorophyll in the leaves, number of flowers, weight of green seeds, number of pods, yield of plant. Boron treatment was significantly increased pods set percentage. The interaction of 1000 mg.l-1 MgSO4.7H2O and 100 mg.l-1 boric acid gave highest value of plant height 114.44 cm.plant-1, Number of branch 14.00 branch.plant-1, dry weight of vegetative growth 256.67 g.plant-1, Chlorophyll ratio 55.0 Spad unit, weight of fresh seeds 31.22 g.pod-1, weight of fresh pods 33.76 g.pod-1, fresh pods yield 792.35 g.plant-1, Total fresh pods yield 35.22 ton.ha-1. The suggestion could be spray broad bean plants with magnesium sulphate 1000 mg.l-1 and boric acid 100 mg.l-1 resulted in highest vegetative growth and production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The current study was conducted on drinking water to identify some of the physical and chemical properties of the drinking water station in the city of Tikrit - Al-Qadisiyah district, with four distributed sites since November 2018 to January 2019 for a period of three months by measuring the temperature of air, water, pH, D.O., BOD, E.C., salinity, hardness, chloride salts, nitrites and phosphates.The results of the current study showed that the temperature of air and water ranged respectively between (15.5 - 17.3) and (15 - 18.2) C°, while the value of E.C. ranged (52.60 - 61.05) μS/cm. As for the pH, the values ranged between (7.31 - 7.39) whereas the D.O. values ranged (2.06 - 2.5) mg/L, while the values of the B.O.D. ranged from (0.98 - 0.50) mg/L and it was noticed that this water had a low level of hardness, as the T.H. values ranged between (9.5 - 12.6) mg/L and Ca hardness ranged between (6.66 - 9.66) mg/L, while the Mg hardness recorded values ranging between (13 - 30) mg/L, while the salinity values ranged (1.51 - 1.55) g/L, while the Cl values ranged from (0.041 - 0.13). This study recorded low concentrations of phosphate values, as the values ranged between (0.04 - 0.27) μg/L of atom phosphate, while the values of nitrite ranged between (0.01 - 0.7) μg/L of nitrogen atom - nitrite.

Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are highly being used for identification of human being in addition to paternity and other forensic cases. The X-chromosome STR (X-STR) markers are a powerful supplementary system particularly in deficiency paternity analysis. Several X-linked microsatellites have been assessed but more studies are necessary to verify the population statistics. In our study, we report allele frequencies of 13 X-linked microsatellites (DXS8378, DXS9898, DXS8377, HPRTB, GATA172DO5, DXS7423, DXS6809, DXS7132, DXS101, DXS6789, DXS9902, DXS6807, and DXS7424) in the Iraqi arab population. fifty Blood samples were collected from healthy unrelated males. A total number of alleles were detected for for all 13 X-STR loci were (83) and the related frequencies ranging from 0.0200 to 0.5000. Heterozygosity ranged from 0.652 to 0.858. Large values were observed, at least 0.999999994, in combined powers of discrimination. The results powerfully suggest that all the X-linked microsatellites defined here can possibly support the autosomal systems that used in parentage analysis and different forensic case work.

Cases of deficiency paternity, characterized by missing of the alleged father, are a task for forensic genetics. Recently these cases were determined using sets of extremely polymorphic autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs), which indicate to powerful likelihood ratios (LR). Some difficult cases emerge whenever the kinship highly remote or if the another hypotheses are not properly formulated because of the absence of information. In these situations, beyond the routinely used marker set, laboratories usually enlarge the number and/or the type of markers analysed. A set of 14X-STRs is further advantageous than 21 autosomal STRs (AS STRs) biallelic markers. Furthermore, the utility of X-STRs was also appear in cases shows that in father-daughter duos and merely a close family member of the alleged parent (father or mother) is existing for testing. Here we present a cases with biological daughter of the alleged father and her mothers and putative grandmother was the genotyped relative are available for reconstructing his haplotype. Aiming to increase the Paternity Index (PI), Probability of Paternity (PP), and obtain more reliable results. The result of X STR showed that the missing person (father) share 50% genotype with the donors (daughter)and (his mother) at each locus, there are no alleles in any one of these 13 loci conflict with the alleles inherited from her father and Posterior Probability of paternity was (99.999958%) that is mean the missing person was biological father for this donor daughter.

This experience had been achieved in the department of the scientific research of the science of soil and water resources, Collage of Agriculture, University of Tikrit during the Agricultural season of "2018" to study the effectiveness of the vaccination with the Mycorrhiza and four levels of the Phosphate manures TSP (0, 100, 150, 200) Kg P2O5.h-1 in the growth of "OKRA". The design "RCBD" has been used with three replications, the middles had been comparatively in according to supposition the scientist "Din kin" on the prospect level 5%. The resultants had shown that the vaccination with the Mycorrhiza had beenlead up to enhance the significant of the adjectives that had been studied in the compare with other non vaccinated transactions with the Mycorrhiza as if the increases in the levels of the phosphate manures had been lead up to enhance the significant in the signals of the studies. In additional of that the overlaps results had shown moral excellence in all adjective studied, whereas the vaccination transaction with the phosphate level (150) Kg had given the most highest middles in the adjectives studied and the total sum arrived to (4.148) Ton and in the ratio of the absorption nutrient elements horns of N, P, K (0.510, 4.016, 4.156)% and it does not differ morally from the operation of the vaccination in the level (200) Kg without vaccination, but with the vaccination the resolution reduced to 25% from the added phosphate manure.

The current study aims to compare between the types of yeasts that cause vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in women using corticosteroid medication compared to nonusers and estimate their sensitivity to available commercial antifungal agents. In a descriptive analytical cross-sectional study, we recruited 41 chronic corticosteroid users diagnosed clinically to have VVC from Women's Health Hospital, Assiut University, Egypt. Forty-seven age-matched women with VVC were recruited as a control group. Full history and clinical examination were performed. Vaginal sterile swab obtained from the vagina of each participant was subjected to direct Gram-stained smear examination as well as a culture on Sabouraud's glucose agar and HiCrome Candida agar. Further identification of the isolates was done using traditional methods. Fifty out of 88 samples (56.8%) were positive in culture including 25 samples (61%) from corticosteroid users group and 25 (53.2%) from noncorticosteroid users with no statistically significant difference (P =.302). The chronic corticosteroid users had more incidence of recurrent VVC as compared to nonusers (65.9% vs 40.4%, respectively) (P =.015). There was a significantly higher rate of non- Candida albicans (NCA) infections in corticosteroid users compared with nonusers (48% vs 20%, respectively) (P =.036). A higher significant difference in resistance of the isolates against clotrimazole (P =.003) and ketoconazole (P =.017) was demonstrated in corticosteroid users compared to nonusers. Thus, chronic corticosteroid use causes frequent attacks of VVC and increases the frequency of infection by NCA strains. Also, it increases resistance to common antifungal agents especially azole group. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at showing the devastating deception that surrounding the characters in Pinter's play The Dwarfs. The Dwarfs as a play is very unintelligible on stage as Pinter himself admitted in one of the interviews saying that the staging of the play was “regretted by everyone except me to do The Dwarfs which is apparently the very intractable and impossible piece of work. It is basically a play that illustrates the deep and vivid sense of betrayal, deception, illusion and love. The conflicting problem imposes betrayal as shown in Len's goals and objectives, the central character of the play. Human suffering arising from the sense of failure and frustration of man's search for love, friends and belonging. The Dwarfs explores the theme of deception and frustration arising from a betrayal of friendship in which the protagonist's hopes for genuine human contact are shattered by the deception and duplicity of the same proposed friends. The main theme of The Dwarfs is the frustration arising from a betrayal of friendship. The protagonist's hopes for genuine human contact are shattered by the duplicity and betrayal of friends. Even superficial ties of contact are missing. The play stresses lack of possibility of genuine friendship in a world of shifting affiliation, allegiance and betrayal. Harold Pinter is one of the most admired playwrights to appear in the English theatre since 1957 when he began his career with The Room. After three decades of playwriting, Pinter is now acknowledged as one of the major playwrights of the world. Like many of his contemporaries, Pinter is a playwright who deals with the existential problems of man in a hostile universe. The Dwarfs may be regarded as Pinter's general statement on " betrayal and distrust "1, adopted from his unpublished novel of the same name completed in 1950, it antedates the plays and is therefore examined as a seminal work which contains most of the themes he later developed in his dramatic output. Pinter has acknowledged the presence of autobiographical elements in the novel and in the play. "The Dwarfs is based firmly on my own youth ….On my own life, my own experience …"2 but it remains the most ambiguous of his works. With his characters, Mark, with his Portuguese antecedents, seems to represent some aspects of Pinter whose family is said to have originally come from Portugal.3 In the unpublished novel discussed by Martin Esslin, 4 Mark and Len are both Jews ( as Pinter is ), and the setting is strongly reminiscent of Hackney and the East End where Pinter grew up. Mark is shown in the novel and in the play as an actor, and perhaps his reaction to Len's comment, "may be they do not want to watch you at all. May be they'd prefer watch someone else. Have you ever asked them?"5 reveals Pinter the actor's own doubts and fears about his place in his profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Depression is a common consequence of spinal cord injury. Objective: To identify the prevalence and potential risk factors of depression among spinal cord injured inpatients, and assessment of the severity of depression. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted at Ibn Al Quff Hospital for spinal cord injury rehabilitation. All inpatients with traumatic spinal cord injury were recruited excluding severely injured and those injured due to congenital and medical causes. Socio-demographic variables, spinal cord injury characteristics and comorbidity were compiled. Self-Reporting Questioner (SRQ-20) was used to identify mental symptoms. DSM-IV criteria for depression and Hamilton-17 Scale, for assessment of severity of depression were used. Results: A total of 274 spinal cord injured inpatients were approached; 93% responded; Paraplegics 75.7% and tetraplegics 24.3%. Violence was the major cause of injury. Seventy four percent (74.1%) had depression; 44% of them had severe and very severe depression. Depression was significantly associated with age (P=0.001), gender (P=0.001), education level (P=0.038), occupation (P=0.003); smoking habit (P=0.035), duration of injury (P=0.003), times of admission (P=0.000), and comorbidity (P=0.018). Conclusion: prevalence of depression is high and frequent among spinal cord injured inpatients. Demographic and spinal cord injury variables are significantly associated with depression and are the most important determinants of depression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hypertension (HTN) is one among the fiery health problems of the present era. Since it does not cause symptoms usually for many years until a vital organ is damaged. The present study was carried out on 40 patients of essential HTN with Brahmyadi Churna and tablet Shilajatu for a period of 1 month with milk as Anupana. Observation was done before the treatment, 3 mid test assessments on 7th, 14th, and 21st day, posttest assessment was done on 30th day. Intervention revealed that 19 had marked improvement, 14 had moderate improvement, 5 had mild improvement, and no improvement was noticed in 2 individuals.
