SummaryThe most important obstacles facing girls’ clubs in IraqLamia Hassan Al-Diwan - Fatima Abdel Maleh - Nahida Hamed Thank youResearch SummaryIn the introduction and the importance of the research: We talked about women entering endurance events and relying on the principle of more training will achieve better results in the future. Based on the concepts that call for the equality of men with women in all aspects of sporting and competitive activity and as a result of the decline in women’s participation in sports clubs that include men, we came to The idea of establishing clubs for Iraqi girls in 1992, with a club in every governorate, and the Iraqi National Olympic Committee adopted this idea, the goal of which is to develop women’s sports in all governorates. In the same year, the clubs (Najaf Girl, Kar Balaa Girl, Mosul Girl, and Ibhar Girl) were founded. Along with these clubs, an office affiliated with the Olympic Committee called the Women’s Sports Office was established. This office succeeded in holding special tournaments for women in basketball, volleyball, and handball. This office also continued to communicate with the rest of the governorates to establish clubs in other governorates, according to their establishment (Al-Tamim - Diyala - Basra - Wasit - Mays - Al-Muthanna). It succeeded in bringing the number of clubs to ten clubs in 1996 for Iraqi girls.After this success in increasing the number of clubs, the diversity of their activities, and their need for self-financing, the Iraqi National Olympic Committee approved the establishment of the Iraqi Women’s Sports Federation on 2/22/2000, at the suggestion of the Sports Council, and the Federation continued to work until the number of girls’ clubs became three until 8/1/2002. Ten clubs after the establishment of the (Al-Qadisiyah - Dhi Qar - Babil) clubs, I find it necessary to mention that these clubs were participating in the federation’s women’s tournaments, which were in (basketball - handball - volleyball - badminton - swimming - table tennis - Arena and field - chess - and women's football, the last tournament organized by Basra in which five clubs participated).Although the experience of establishing clubs has reaped its fruits and the number of female athletes who prefer to work with women in private clubs has increased, the field of work has presented many obstacles in work, training and planning, and this has affected its level compared to the international level. In order for women’s sports to develop, we must be liberated from the Iraqi determinants that This makes her participation in sporting activities a departure from social traditions. Our research is important because it will solve the reality of the clubs and will answer the factors affecting the training process, methods of developing it, and ways to advance it in the service of the women’s sports movement in our beloved Iraq.1-2 Research problem:The Women's Federation, which includes girls' clubs, participated in the Solidarity Council Championship for Muslim Women's Sports with a large delegation numbering fifty-four participants, although its results were modest. In this tournament, Iraq ranked fifth out of a total of twenty-two participating countries. Because the researchers who worked in the Basra Girls Club as administrators and players and accompanied the teams to the tournaments in which those clubs participated felt the problem of research and improved the obstacles in the work of those clubs. The problem lies in the emergence of several obstacles facing the Iraqi Girls Clubs, and we will reveal their reasons in a constructive, scientific manner and find the best formulas in work, planning, and training. Service to the women's sports movement in Iraq.1-3 Research objectives:1- Identifying the most important obstacles facing girls’ clubs in Iraq. 2- Finding the best ways to address these obstacles. 1-4 Research hypothesis:1- A hampering presence facing girls’ clubs in Iraq.Human domain: The administrative staff of girls’ clubs in Iraq. Temporal domain: The period from 2/15/2002.2-2 Recommendations from the Lausanne Conference regarding women’s sports:Although women have creative and mental abilities, and even their beauty, which distinguishes them from men in many cases, and they are half of society, women still feel bitterness over the social and political laws that men radiate, and even though this situation has changed in advanced societies in favor of women somewhat. However, it is still clearly visible in daily life in developing countries, even though women hold political responsibilities and hold prime ministership in Pakistan, Turkey, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Dominicans. However, the 1996 conference in Lausanne, Switzerland, included 220 participants representing (96) countries. The conference was sponsored by Samran, President of the International Olympic Committee, and it came up with several recommendations, which are:1- Calling on the International Olympic Committee, sports federations, national Olympic committees, and sports federations to take into account the issue of women’s equality with men in their policies and programs, with the need to give women a greater role to contribute to all aspects of sports activity.2- Giving women opportunities to practice sports as players, coaches, or decision-makers in administrative aspects, provided that their percentage is not less than 110% of men.3-This formula applies first to international and national sports federations and to national Olympic committees.4- Giving priority to programs to qualify and prepare women as coaches, administrators or editors in the sports press, which are funded and supervised by the Olympic Solidarity Council of the International Olympic Committee.5- The need for the International Olympic Committee to issue specific laws and instructions regarding the necessity of equitable distribution of sports and field incentives between advanced and junior men and women.6- Holding qualification and training courses for women’s cadres in training, management, and media work annually at the continental level.7- The International Olympic Committee must take into account, when selecting the cities that will host the Olympic Games, the need to provide for the special needs of women athletes.8- The International Olympic Committee encourages the conduct of scientific and statistical research and studies on all aspects related to the issue of women and sports.9- Appealing to international sports federations to establish laws and instructions that facilitate women’s participation in the competitions of these federations.10- Requesting the International Olympic Committee to encourage governmental and non-governmental organizations, research centers and universities to conduct studies and research centered on sports and women.11- Governments with advanced financial capabilities assist developing countries in providing infrastructure and facilities for practicing sports and physical activity in general and for women in particular.12- Emphasizing the role of the family in contributing to instilling the concept of practicing sports and physical activity in sons and daughters, while giving more opportunities to girls due to the presence of some social determinants, especially in some countries.13- Recommendations to support the work of women and sports in the Olympic Committee by providing media materials and financial support.14- Considering the year 2000 as an Olympic year for women (2:9).3-1 Research methodology: The researchers used the survey method due to its suitability and the nature of the problem.3-2 Research Sample The research sample was chosen from the (10) heads of girls’ clubs (Basra -

A numerical study of the two-dimensional steady free convection flow in an inclined annulus between two concentric square cavities filled with a porous medium is presented in this paper for the case when the side outer walls are kept with differentially heated temperature while the horizontal outer walls and the inner walls are insulated. The heated wall is assumed to have spatial sinusoidal temperature variation about a constant mean value. The Darcy model is used and the fluid is assumed to be a standard Boussinesq fluid. For the Cartesian coordinate system, the governing equations which were used in stream function form are discretized by using the finite difference method with successive under – relaxation method (SUR) and are solv

Smoking and central obesity have both been linked to periodontitis, but their combined relationship with periodontal disease may be influenced by demographic and behavioral factors. This cross-sectional study analyzed records of 420 adult dental patients attending the College of Dentistry at the University of Baghdad. Data included demographic characteristics, smoking status, periodontal clinical findings, body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Periodontitis was defined according to the 2018 classification framework, and logistic regression models were used to examine the associations of smoking and obesity-related indicators with periodontitis. The overall prevalence of periodontitis was 36.4%. Participants with p

Objectives Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is an inherited autosomal recessive disease caused by pathogenic variants in the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase-1 (SMPD1) gene, which encodes acid sphingomyelinase (ASM). ASMD has 3 broad phenotypes (type A, type A/B, and type B) characterized by the age of onset, symptomatology, and the rapidity of disease progression. The diagnosis of ASMD can be delayed or missed because of the wide spectrum of severity and its variable manifestations. Analysis of genotype-phenotype correlations can help to determine ASMD disease type and inform management. Here, we describe the clinical presentation of 47 patients with ASMD referred to a single center in Iraq since 2007, whose diagnosis was confirmed b

Several problems have emerged as a result of urban expansion or the connection of urban areas with rural areas. This process has led to the urbanization of rural areas, and to have overlapping edges and margins of areas, which were outside the basic design of the city. Accordingly, the present research assumes that the accelerating growth of Baghdad population has contributed significantly to the process of unplanned urbanization. Thus, the study aims to examine the factors that have led to an increase of urban sprawl at the expense of the agricultural land. The study has thus adopted the descriptive, analytical, and historical approaches relying on the simple linear regression method to predict the phenomenon of urban expansion and its
