Isolation and identification of bacterial isolates were carried out according to the morphology and biochemical characteristics on one hundred and twenty stool specimens collected from children under five years old via using biochemical tests and Api 20E compact system for further confirmation. Bacterial isolates were distributed as (34.48, 20.68, 5.17,0.86) % for Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi ,Enterobacter aerogenos, Citrobacter freundii and Hafnia alvei respectively and 9.48 % for each Proteus mirabilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella Pneumonia. As well as, 2.58% for both Shigella sonnei and Serratia marcescens. Antibiotic susceptibility test for 116 bacterial isolates was performed towards 20 antibiotics types using disk diffusion method. The results showed dissimilar resistance values towards different antibiotics, ten bacterial isolates were collected for each bacterial species to study their resistance values, the ones with the highest resistance level were selected for further study. Meanwhile, easy and cheap green method using the banana peel extract (BPE) was applied to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Phytochemicals of BPE were screened by standard methods. The results verified the existence of alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides in it. These components were act as a reducing agent ,stabilizing and capping agents for AgNO3 with the assistance of the microwave. The successfully preparation of AgNPs was established by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and zeta potential analysis. The antibacterial activity of the AgNPs against multidrug resistance (MDR) bacteria were studied by using disk diffusion method. The results showed a considerable effect against MDR isolates. The synergistic effects of biosynthesis AgNPs at different concentrations with different standard antibiotic discs (which were Tobramycin, Chloramphenicol, Nitrofuration, Ampicillin-clavulanic acid and Nalidixic acid) against MDR bacteria were also investigated. The result showed the synergistic action of AgNPs and antibiotics leading to enhance antibacterial activity.
Abstract
Indeed, being busy with the understanding of religion is the best sort of worship that the almighty God has given each period of time a number of scholars and wise men. They receive what has been passed down to them from their great ancestors, and those who are willing to learn will learn, their students preserve their knowledge through teaching and writing. Thus, the scholars were pioneers in this field due to the value and importance of their knowledge. They have strived in learning, explaining, and writing new subjects.
One of those scholars is sheikh (Abdulrahman Al-Penjweni) who passed away 1319 AH in one of the villages of the city of Sulaimani in Iraq. He was one of the wisest scholars, a br

Show MoreIt is noted in the title that the paper studies the viewpoint in the novel The Dog and the Long Night by the Iranian novelist Shahranoush Parsi Pour and in the novel Alibaba's Sad Night by the Iraqi novelist Abdulkhaliq Ar-Rikabi. Both are well known novelists, and about whose stories and novels many critical books, MA theses, and Ph.D. dissertations have been written. Also, some of their literary works have won prizes. Here, the researcher shed light on the concept of viewpoint, its types, and its importance in novels in general. This was done along with tackling the two viewpoints in both novels, where similarities and differences were identified. For this end, the researcher has adopted the analytic-descriptive appro
