Resumen Introducción Debido a su exigente entorno académico, el dolor lumbar crónico (DLC) es un trastorno musculoesquelético común entre los estudiantes de medicina, lo cual es particularmente preocupante. El tabaquismo es un factor de riesgo conocido por causar diversos problemas de salud y se ha asociado con el DLC, pero la relación específica entre el tabaquismo y el DLC aún no ha sido bien explorada. Objetivo Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la asociación entre el tabaquismo y el DLC en estudiantes de medicina en Irak. Diseño Se empleó un diseño descriptivo transversal que involucró entrevistas cara a cara con 200 estudiantes de medicina de 18 años o más. Los datos sobre características demográficas, comportamientos de tabaquismo y experiencias de dolor crónico se recopilaron mediante un cuestionario prediseñado. El análisis estadístico se realizó utilizando SPSS® (versión 25) y se emplearon pruebas de Chi-cuadrado para evaluar la asociación entre el estado de tabaquismo y el DLC. Lugar Universidad de Bagdad, Facultad de Medicina. Participantes Doscientos estudiantes de medicina de 18 años o más. Intervenciones No hubo intervención. Principales mediciones Características demográficas, comportamientos de tabaquismo y experiencias de dolor crónico. Resultados Una proporción significativa de estudiantes (51%) reportó fumar actualmente, siendo los cigarrillos el producto más comúnmente utilizado. La prevalencia de DLC fue del 64%, con una severidad promedio del dolor de 4,6 (±1,61). Notablemente, entre los fumadores, 81 individuos reportaron experimentar DLC en comparación con 47 no fumadores (p = 0,0001), lo que indica una fuerte asociación entre el tabaquismo y la presencia de DLC. Conclusión Los hallazgos resaltan una asociación significativa entre el tabaquismo y el DLC en estudiantes de medicina, enfatizando la necesidad de intervenciones dirigidas para abordar la cesación tabáquica y la prevención del DLC en esta población de alto riesgo. Se justifica una mayor investigación para explorar los mecanismos subyacentes y desarrollar estrategias efectivas para mejorar la salud y el bienestar de los estudiantes.

... Show MoreAn essential element in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning is vocabulary. There is a big emphasis on learning the new words' meaning from the books or inside classrooms. Also, it is a major part of language teaching as well as being fundamental to the learner but there is a big challenge in vocabulary instruction due to the weak confidence by teachers in selecting the suitable practice in teaching vocabulary or they sometimes unable to specify a suitable time for it during the teaching process. The major aim of this study is to investigate the value of posters in vocabulary learning on the 2nd grade students at Halemat Alsaadia High School in Baghdad – Iraq. It hypothesized that there are no statistically significant differences

Methodology: Eighty-nine nursing students participated in this cross-sectional descriptive study by completing a questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis. Two dimensions were explored and evaluated; (1) the applicability of the TAM model in assessing this technology; and (2) the overall percentage of students’ agreement on the different TAM variables. Results: This study presented significant positive influence bet
Objective: The aims of research to identify sample of websites of Arabian medical periodicals and exam applying to
standards for publishing on the internet.
Methodology: A survey method is applied about nine medical periodicals websites and data are collected through
forms include five international standards to assessing websites.
Results: of data collected, the following findings are obtained:
1. Through examining website addresses, unsuitability was found in using Universal Resources Locater, because six of
periodicals use com. in URL. While, all of them not relevance commercial but scientific aim.
2. To measure Credibility Standard by adopting numbers values, the results found, four of periodicals obtained (level
Vocational education is the basis of contemporary educational movement that aims at satisfying human needs. Societies can develop their human resources via setting programs for the working class as an aspect of the comprehensive national development. Vocational education is the main source of technical cadres the Iraqi labor market requires of the vocational preparatory schools to provide after three years of schooling.
The vocational schools of the governorate of Basra have a number of problems that lead to the lack of proficiency of their graduates. This study is an attempt to identify these problems or obstacles
... Show MoreThis paper proposes improving the structure of the neural controller based on the identification model for nonlinear systems. The goal of this work is to employ the structure of the Modified Elman Neural Network (MENN) model into the NARMA-L2 structure instead of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) model in order to construct a new hybrid neural structure that can be used as an identifier model and a nonlinear controller for the SISO linear or nonlinear systems. Two learning algorithms are used to adjust the parameters weight of the hybrid neural structure with its serial-parallel configuration; the first one is supervised learning algorithm based Back Propagation Algorithm (BPA) and the second one is an intelligent algorithm n
