Numerous physiological and biochemical changes are linked to menopause. The current study was intended to examine the transforms linked to anthropometric measurements and bone-related factors. In this study of 80 women which included; they comprised 40 premenopausal women and 40 postmenopausal women. waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), hip circumference (HC), moreover waist to hip ratio are among the anthropometric measurements (W-HR) recorded by standard procedures. The plasma samples were tested for the following biochemical parameters: bone-related parameters [calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), uric acid (UA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)] and serological agglutination tests [rheumatoid factor (RF) and C-reactive protein (CRP)]. The mean of BMI, WC, and W-HR was significant (p<0.05) and much higher in postmenopausal women than their values in perimenopause women, while a non-significant (p>0.05) difference was found in the mean of HC between the two groups. The findings revealed that postmenopausal women's levels of Ca were substantially (p0.05) lower than premenopausal women's levels, while postmenopausal women's levels of P were significantly (p0.05) greater than premenopausal women's levels. In comparison to premenopausal women, post-menopause women had significantly higher levels of UA, ALP, and ESR (p<0.05). The results revealed that the number and percentage of CRP positive women out of the premenopausal women are only 8 (20 %), while the number and percentage of CRP-positive women out of the postmenopausal women are only 18 (45%); the differences are significant (p<0.05). Also, the results revealed that the number and percentage of RF positive women out of the premenopausal women are only 5 (12.5 %), while the number and percentage of RF-positive women out of the postmenopausal women are only 15 (37.5%). The differences are significant (p<0.05). According to the results, postmenopausal women had significant (P<0.05) higher rates of all chronic illnesses than premenopausal women. On the other hand, the prevalence of bone-related disease was substantially (P<0.05) greater in the premenopausal women (30%) and postmenopausal women (45%) research groups as well as the overall study population of women (37.5%). In conclusion, changes related to age in the anthropometric measurements and in the bone-related parameters, accompanied by reduced physical activity may all lead to the installation of several chronic diseases among postmenopausal women.
The aim of the research is to find out the nature of the relationship between the interrelationships and the interrelationships between risk management strategies (avoiding danger, risk exposure, risk exhibition, preventive programs and activities to reduce risks) and the dangers of container transportation, as an independent variable in the dangers of container transportation as a dependent variable, the study started from the problem that the company suffers from The practical aspect of the study was applied at the National Insurance Corporation, and the researcher designed a diagram according to the study's schematic diagram.

Fiscal policy shocks are quantitative changes in public spending and public revenue affecting the output and price cycle, and fiscal policy despite the accompanying time gaps, but it remains a policy Influential and has a significant degree of impact on economic growth and development in developing countries. The fiscal policy represents a numerical translation of the economic and social objectives planned in the state's general budget tool consistent with the GDP cycle. The economic and social goals stem from the core of the functions and the ma

The general budget is usually linked to the role of the state in public life and economic activity, whether this role is neutral or interventionist and thus reflects the general objectives that the state seeks to achieve.
for importance of the public budget in clarifying the image of the political state philosophy and its objectives it seeks to achieve on the one hand and clarifying the degree and rank it occupies in the ladder of development among the other countries. This study is intended to highlight the concepts of the general budget and how its concept has evolved since the Middle Ages. Of the importance of the general budget in Iraq was not based on scientific and objective and then the study

The aim of this study was to determine and compare the performance of the copy drug Osveral®and its innovator drug deferasirox (Exjade®).
A prospective observational study including 223 patients receiving the branded medicine Exjade®and 101 patients receiving the copy Osveral®was carried out. Data were assessed for a 1-year period and included clinical symptoms, serum ferrit
This study aims at evaluating the performance of MA students in the College of Education for Women in using the digital transformation and identifying the significant difference in performance evaluation according to the variable of academic qualification (Master or PHD). In order to achieve the aim of the research the researcher prepared a questionnaire of 20 items, and this happens after the researcher's getting acquaintance of the literature of previous studies related to the variable of the research. The apparent validity of the items was examined by exposing them to 10 juries specialized in education, psychology and evaluation and measurement. The stability of the items was examined via two methods, the test-repetition and half-divisio

The plasma generation process used the fundamental harmonic (1064 nm) of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is a man-made crystalline material. The laser fired pulses with a duration of 10 ns and a repetition rate of 6 Hz. Thus, the energy outputs achieved were 50–200 mJ at the wavelength of 1064 (nm). The silica content in the rice hulls was verified using an XRF measurement, which revealed the presence of silica in the rice hulls in a high percentage. Precise beam focusing was achieved by focusing the laser on the target material. This target material is placed with
