The present study aims to estimating the prevalence of autoimmune thyroid disorders in Iraqi infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Eighty-five Iraqi women, with age range (19-45) years, were divided into three groups; first group included 33 women with PCOS; second group included 30 women without PCOS; while third group included 22 fertile women as controls. The clinical data [age, body mass index (BMI), and menstrual status] have been recorded. Blood samples were collected to determine the levels of reproductive hormones [estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)]; and thyroid hormones [triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin (T4)]. Also, autoimmune thyroid antibodies assessment has been carried out to determine the titrations of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (Anti-TPO Ab) and anti-thyroglobulin antibody (Anti-TG Ab).The findings revealed that thepercentage of obese was significantly (P<0.01) higher in the women with PCOS and without PCOS (66.67% and 53.34%, respectively) compared with the control women (9.10%). Also, more of the infertile women with PCOS and without PCOS (51.51% and 46.67%, respectively) had oligomenorrhea. The results of hormonal analyses revealed that non-significant (P>0.05) differences were found in levels of E2 and FSH among the different groups. A significant (P<0.05) increase was recorded in level of LH among PCOS group compared with control and without PCOS groups. Also, LH/FSH ratio was increased significantly (P<0.05) in PCOS group compared with control and without PCOS groups. On the other hand, the results of thyroid hormones showed non-significant (P>0.05) differences for T3 and T4 levels among the studied groups. Autoimmune thyroid antibodies assessment showed a significant (P<0.05) increased in the Anti TPO Ab titration among the infertile women with and without PCOS compared with the control; while there was a non-significant (P>0.05) difference between infertile women with PCOS and without PCOS. A significant (P<0.05) increased in the Anti TG Ab titration was found among infertile women with and without PCOS compared with the control group; also, a significant (P<0.05) increased was found in the infertile women without PCOS compared to with PCOS. Correlation between autoimmune thyroid antibodies and the studied hormones in women with and without PCOS revealed only a significant (P<0.01) positive correlation between Anti-TPO Ab titration and LH level (r=0.26); while a non-significant correlation has been found between Anti-TG Ab titration and the studied hormones.
Euphemisms are advantageous in people’s social life by turning sensitive into a more acceptable ones so that resentful feelings and embarrassment can be avoided. This study investigates the ability of Iraqi English learners in using euphemistic expressions, meanwhile, raising their awareness and the faculty members in English teaching faculties regarding the relevance of discussing the topics that demand euphemisation. This study comprised three stages: initial test, explicit instruction with activities, and a final test for the students’ development in this domain. A test has been distributed among 50 respondents, who are at the fourth year of their undergraduate study at the University of Babylon/ College of Basic Education. The lo

Show MoreAt a time when the general rules in the different legal systems require the presence of two parties to the contract, one of which is issued the first expression of the will and is called the offer, and the other is issued from the other and is called the acceptance. A special type of contracts emerged in the beginning of the last century called the “unilateral contracts”. The side sparked a major jurisprudential dispute, as well as the issuance of several contradictory judicial rulings on it. Hence, this research came to highlight this special type of contract. Key words: the definition of a unilateral contract, its distinction from other legal situations, and its effects.

Abstract
The research hypothesizes is that the external Environment
has the responsibility concerning decisions making and behavioral
upon industrial firms. It is, Furthermore, an attempt to review the
problem of closures of private industrial firms in the country, during
the period (1976-1985), i.e. prior to and during the Iraqian- Iranian
war.
The behavioral approach of industrial geography has been
adopted as a theoretical background and the statistical test has
been practiced for the applied purposes.
As result, the research comes out with suggestions,
depending upon previous trials in the field of direction and
formulation of the of the private industrial sector. The chief point

In this study , Iraqi Bentonite clay was used as a filler for polyvinyl chloride polymer. Bentonite clay was prepared as a powder for some certain particle size ,followed by calcinations process at (300,700,900) OC ,then milled and sieved. The selected sizes were D ~75 µm and D ~150. After that polyvinyl Al-Cohool solution prepared and used as a coated layer covered the Bentonite powder before applied as a filler ,followed by drying , milling and sieving for limited recommend sizes. polyvinyl chloride solutions were prepared and adding of modified Bentonite power at certain quantities were followed .Sheet of these variables on the mechanical and thermal properties of the prepared reinforced particular polyvinyl chloride composite

This was facilitated by intellectual and scientific communication between civilizations, and the rapid progression in successive inventions and discoveries in the fields of science and arts of knowledge. This contributed to a great economic and commercial renaissance. Then, these economic developments entered the world into a very strong competition, which forced producers to calculate all production costs, to reach the highest profits by reducing the price of the produced commodity on the one hand, and achieving quality in appearance (especially) on the other hand.
