Survey of Insects Associated with some Species of Cucurbitaceae in Iraq
Abstract<p>Due to the spread of insect pests that destroys the crops belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family and led to deterioration in crop productivity in Iraq due to various reasons, the most important of which is Climate fluctuation and extreme weather events have a major impact on this problem. So, this paper was proposed to identify those species pests and prevalence. Insects were collected during the period from March 1. 2022 to October 30, 2022 from the several regions of Iraq, including: Baghdad, Babylon, Basra, Karbala, Wasit, Diyala, Saladin, and Duhok Provinces. The results showed 19 important species under 17 genera with 13 families, and five orders. The most common synonyms and distribution of species, as well as the plant hosts were provided; and the scientific names have been corrected according to the recent references. The date and localities of the specimens’ collection were presented. In conclusion, the species of <italic>Dacus frontalis</italic> Beecker, 1922 and <italic>D. ciliates</italic> Loew, 1862 were the most abundant pests in studied regions, especially Diyala, Wasit, and Baghdad Provinces. In contrast to <italic>Carpomya pardalina</italic> (Bigot, 1891), which was the least prevalent among the recorded species.</p>

Prevalence of bacterial types in Wagner grade three of diabetic foot ulcer

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the chronic wound infection and leads to non-traumatic lower limb amputation. Advances in diabetes research are significant and much needed because diabetes is on the rise worldwide and is considered by some experts already to be at an epidemic level. Among diabetic patients 70% were males and 30% were females. Aerobic bacteria 104(82%) were the most frequently isolated than anaerobic bacteria 23(18%). Among aerobes Gram negative bacteria 67(64.4%) were more commonly isolated than Gram positive 37(35.5%). The three most frequently found that S. aureus 28(22%) followed by P. mirabilis 22(17.3%) then E. coli 14(11%). Among anaerobic bacteria Gram negative bacteria 16(69.5%) were predominantly isolated th

Autonomous weapons in the light of the principles of international humanitarian law

This paper deals with "the prohibition of autonomous weapons in the light of the principles of international humanitarian law", The autonomous  weapon is the newly developed type of weapon, and it is the latest of the genius of the human race in finding another "automatic" race to undertake combat operations on its behalf, However, this matter was not left at all, Rather, each party to the armed conflict must abide by the principles of international humanitarian law to avoid the harmful effects of that weapon, In particular, adherence to the text of Article 36 of the First Additional Protocol of 1977, which obliges the Contracting Parties to conduct a review of their weapons before their launch to find out what is prohibited and per

Applications Aspects of the Diffusion of Slow Electrons in the Ionospheric Gases

The paper presents the results of precise of the calculations of the diffusion of slow electrons in ionospheric gases, such as, (Argon – Hydrogen mixture, pure Nitrogen and Argon – Helium – Nitrogen) in the presence of a uniform electric field and temperature 300 Kelvin. Such calculations lead to the value Townsend's energy coefficient (KT) as a function of E/P (electric field strength/gas pressure), electric field (E), electric drift velocity (Vd), momentum transfer collision frequency ( ), energy exchange collision frequency ( ) and characteristic energy (D/?). The following physical quantities are deduced as function s E/P: mean free path of the electrons at unit pressure, mean energy lost by an electron per collision, mean velocit

Exploration of Problem- Based Learning in Hadramout University College of Medicine (HUCOM)

Background: Problem-based learning is becoming increasingly adopted in universities of higher education throughout the world.
Objective: This study is carried out to evaluate the application of this innovative approach in teaching in Hadramout University College of Medicine (HUCOM) in Yemen.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed to collect data from students through a well structured questionnaire. Students were classified into two groups: students in preclinical
phase (1-3 levels) and students in clinical phase (4-6 level). 
Results: Out of 372 students participated in the study; 19% in the preclinical phase know about PBL before joining the college while only 16% of students in clinical phas

The Prevalence of Autoimmune Thyroiditis in A sample of Infertile Iraqi Women

In the present study, the aim was made to identify the relationship between thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) and female infertility. The study was performed on 30 infertile women and 22 age-matched healthy fertile control age (33 ± 5 years). Overall, serum prolactin (PRL), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) assay is the key test for the diagnosis and management of hypo and hyperthyroidism. Anti-TPO Ab and anti-TG Ab were measured. The mean ± SE of serum PRL (31.080 ± 3.06) ng/ml was significantly (P<0.05) higher in infertile group compared with control (16.191±1.36) ng/ml. Serum TSH was significantly (P<0.05) higher in infertile group (5.689 ± 1.12) μIU/ml compared to control group (2.282 ± 0.18) μIU/ml. The prevalence of positive

The physical corner of the crime of recruiting children in armed conflict

Children are considered the most affected group in armed conflicts because of the diversity and diversity of the forms of aggression against them.Their recruitment into armed conflicts is one of the most dangerous images.                                              

Therefore, the use of children in armed conflicts, it is not a modern phenomenon that is confined to contemporary armed conflicts, but has been used in ancient wars and different times and civilizations.       &

Study of Energy Gains by Orientation of Solar Collectors in Baghdad City

Firstly, in this study, a brief updated description and applications of different solar collectors used in renewable energy systems for supplying electric and thermal energy was presented. Secondly, an attempt was made to utilize tilting orientation of solar collector for maximizing collector energy with time in respect to horizontal orientation. For energy calculation, global solar radiation was used since they are directly related.  For that purpose, field measurements of half-hourly radiation on two flat panels of tilting and horizontal orientations were carried out throughout 8-month period under local climate of Baghdad. Then, energy gain and radiation level averages were calculated based on the field radiation
