Evaluation of nurses' practices toward postoperative wound dressing in surgical wards
...Show More Authors

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

Effect of Solid Properties on Axial Liquid Dispersion in Bubble Column
...Show More Authors

Experiments were conducted to study axial liquid dispersion coefficient in slurry bubble column of 0.15 m inside diameter and 1.6 m height using perforated plate gas distributor of 54 holes of a size equal to 1 mm diameter and with a 0.24 free area of holes to the cross sectional area of the column. The three phase system consists of air, water and PVC used as the solid phase. The effect of solid loading (0, 30 and 60 kg/m3) and solid diameter (0.7, 1.5 and 3 mm) on the axial liquid dispersion coefficient at different axial location (25, 50 and 75 cm) and superficial gas velocity covered homogeneous-heterogeneous flow regime (1-10 cm/s) were studied in the present work. The results show that the axial liquid dispersion coeffic

SPECTRAL WIDTH VARIATION OF ULTRASHORT LASER PULSES IN MONOMODE OPTICAL FIBERS
...Show More Authors

Femtosecond laser pulse propagation in monomode optical fibers is demonstrated and investigated numerically (by simulations) and experimentally in this paper. A passively mode locked Nd:glass laser giving a pulse duration of about 200 fsec at 1053 nm wavelength and 120 mW average optical power with 100 MHz repetition rate is used in the experimental work. Numerical simulations are done by solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the aid of Matlab program. The results show that self phase modulation (SPM) leads to compression of the spectral width from 5 nm to 2.1 nm after propagation of different optical powers (34, 43, 86 and 120 mW) in fibers of different length (5, 15, 35 m). The varying optical powers produced a varying

THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE BUILDING IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
...Show More Authors

This study aims at identifying the correlation between digital transformation and knowledge building in educational institutions, as well as finding the influence relationship between digital transformation and knowledge building in educational institutions and knowing the dimensions of digital transformation that have the most impact in improving the level of knowledge building, and by adopting the methodological descriptive analysis method in the Ministry of Education. Education and educational institutions in Baghdad. This research deals with digital transformation as an independent variable according to two dimensions (digital adaptability and digital readiness). Knowledge building was adopted as an approved variable using the s

Impedance Characteristics of Pulsed Atmospheric Electrical Discharge in Spherical Plasma Switch
...Show More Authors

A number of pulsed experiments have been carried out using a high-voltage circuit containing R,L, and C in certain arrangements. A spherical spark gap of steel electrodes was used as a high-current switch operated by a voltage of up to 8kV and triggered in both self-triggering and third-electrode triggering modes. Current measurements were carried out by using both current-viewing resistor and Rogowski coils designed for this purpose. Typical current waveforms have shown obvious dominating inductance effect of the circuit components in an underdamped oscillation. The behavior of the circuit impedance was studied by recording both pulsed current peaks and the charging voltages when currents of up to 2.5kA were recorded. The dur

Disagreement in conscience of the affair between grammarians Basrans and Kufans
...Show More Authors

Perhaps it is of paramount importance for researchers to present grammatical topics with a uniqueness that distinguishes them from everything else that may overlap with them, and a specificity that distances them from much of what may be thought to be similar to them or similar to them. The subject pronoun is one of these topics that should be considered. Due to the uniqueness of this pronoun among the rest of the family of pronouns, with features and adverbs that deserve research and study, and then analysis and treatment; Because of its scientific value, it goes hand in hand with other pronouns. This topic would not have drawn my attention or received much of it had it not raised some fundamental questions, including, f

The Spectroscopic Behaviour of Rhodamine 6G in Liquid and Solid Solutions
...Show More Authors

Absorption, fluorescence, quantum yield and lifetime of rhodamine 6G in chloroform, methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide were measured. From a comparison of these quantities, with those for solid solutions (solid solutions are obtained by mixing constant volume proportions of dye at a concentration of 1*10-4M/l with different volume proportions from the concentrated solution of polymer in chloroform and dimethyl sulfoxide). The results showed that the addition of polymer to liquid concentrated solutions (1*10-4M/l )of rhodamine 6G dye from expecting [which leading to development active medium for laser dye at high concentration] increase the spectra shift toward high energies, and the luminescence quantum yield but decreasing radiative lifetim
