Objective(s): The study aimed to assess the level of nursing performance and practices in terms of approaching or
distancing itself from the optimal performance criteria universally adopted within the variable dressing surgical
wounds of patients admitted to the surgical wards, and determine the relationship between the level of nurse's
performance and socio-demographic characteristics of them in those wards.
Methodology: A descriptive assessing design was adopted from November the 10th, 2010 until June the 1st, 2011 to
assess the nursing care provided practices for the postoperative period within the variable dressing surgical wounds in
the complex of Medical City. Whereas the study was conducted in three hospitals; Baghdad Teaching Hospital, ALShahid
Ghazi Hariri for surgical specialties, and nursing home hospital. A Purposive "non- probability" sample
consisting of (55) nurses from those who working in surgical wards at the time of data collection. The data were
collected after adapting AL-Ajloni questionnaire by the researchers that is dedicated to the purposes of the study and
composed of two major parts; the first part includes the page of socio-demographic data which contains (6)
paragraphs, and the second one includes the page of the major components of the study which contains (4) domains
in (39) sub-domain. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by (7) experts in the specialty field. While, the
reliability of the questionnaire was determined by calculating the correlation coefficient (Pearson), which was
statistically acceptable value (r = 0.86). Data were collected through direct observant approach by the mean of the
designed practice checklist. Thereafter, the data were analyzed through the application of descriptive analysis
measures (frequencies and percentages), as well as weighted arithmetic mean and Pearson correlation coefficient by
using (SPSS) Version 16.
Results: The findings of the study indicated that academic nurses had performed adequate practices relative to
postoperative wound dressing than practical ones. All nurses regardless of their gender had performed almost at the
same level of practices relative to postoperative wound dressing. Older nurses demonstrated inadequate practices
concerning postoperative wound infection precautions. The quality of nurse's performance regarding postoperative
dressing procedure was strong positive relationship with level of education. Nurses who had participated in training
sessions performed the same practices of others without it.

Nurses' practices and postoperative wound dressing
Recommendations: standards practice guide lines should be available for every nurse in hospital; furthermore strict
nosocomial infection control precaution should be followed by health care providers. In addition thorough advanced
training courses should be available for nurses dedicated in its nature toward standards ideal safe practice

Antibiotics are essential for treating infectious diseases, but their overuse and adverse effects are raising concerns about global public health. The pervasiveness of antibiotic contamination in aquatic environments has drawn increased attention in recent years. The primary concern regarding the release of antibiotics into the environment is the potential for microorganisms to become resistant to antibiotics. This review article summarizes the analytical methods used to determine the presence of trimethoprim and metronidazole in various environmental samples. These antibiotics have traditionally been analyzed using tandem mass spectrometry or high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry; fluorescence or ultrav

Research aims to know the impact beyond the defined in the collection. The research community is the second school students at Baghdad University and a research sample (63) students, the number of experimental group (27) students and a control group (30) students. The researcher was rewarded in variable lifetime for students and educational attainment and educational level of the parents and the educational level of mothers. The researcher has developed a test took the number of paragraphs (20). A test was true after it has been submitted to the Group of arbitrators. The test was consistent with test method used and the reliability coefficient (0, 88). Either the statistical methods used by the researcher are: Pearson correla

Harpagophytum procumbens (Devil’s Claw) is widely recognized as one of the most potent therapeutic herbs. This study aimed to extract seeds from H. procumbens using two types of solvents and to assess both qualitative and quantitative aspects of the extracts. The two extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities using agar well diffusion assays against four bacterial isolates and two yeast isolates. Qualitative analysis identified the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and terpen

The researcher was interested in studying a crucial aspect of the systematic world music culture. He highlights the analysis of the harmonic construction in the musical compositions of the artist Khalil Ismail, where harmony is a significant Western musical science, a pillar of the structure of instrumental and vocal music.
It depends on the compositions of vertical sounds performed simultaneously, as tones coincide and are sometimes dissonant to give sound resonance that enriches musical work and attracts recipients. Hence, the researcher has many questions, including: Can the composition of the writings of the artist Khalil Ismail determine in an objective research framework? Is there a study on this subject in some detail? whic
