...Show More Authors

Objective: The study aimed to screen the prepubertal children for idiopathic scoliosis at earlier stages, and find
out the relationship between idiopathic scoliosis and demographic data such as age, sex, body mass index,
heavy backpacks, and heart & lung diseases.
Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted on screening program for prepubertal children in primary
schools at Baghdad city, starting from 24th of February to the end of October 2010. Non- probability
(purposive) sample of 510 prepubertal children were chosen from primary schools of both sides of Al-Karkh
and Al-Russafa sectors. Data was collected through a specially constructed questionnaire format include (24)
items multiple choice questions, and researcher observation. The validity of the questionnaire was determined
through a panel of experts related to the field of the study, and the reliability through a pilot study. The data
were analyzed through the application of descriptive statistical analysis frequency, & percentages, and
inferential statistical analysis, chi-square, are used.
Results: The study results revealed that most of the prepubertal children have idiopathic scoliosis, two third of
the sample (88.4%) were at age 10-12 years and mostly boys. There is highly significant association with (low
Body Mass Index & carry of the school backpack) but no significant association with the age, gender, and lung
& heart diseases. There is highly significant association between prepubertal children's idiopathic scoliosis signs
& the researcher observation for the prepubertal body feature, and Adam's Bending Forward Test which
revealed highly significant association with their idiopathic scoliosis. The results of the study reflect that the
majority of prepubertal children's idiopathic scoliosis deformities have significant association at early detection
than the other spinal deformities (kyphosis & kyphoscoliosis).
Recommendation: The researchers recommended that Ministry Of Health should activate the screening program
of scoliosis within school health service programs, and Ministry of Education should be involved their teachers in
the screening & training program.

...Show More Authors

Abstract
The image of the soldier, as a hero who sacrifices everything to defend his
country and values, is no longer depicted in modern drama. With two World Wars
and many regional wars and civil wars, the soldier becomes a victim, not a hero.
Authors present the character of the soldier as a man who suffers a lot as he is
victimized by his own government and its politics that forces him to be in such a
position. Dramatists express their views about race, oppression and war through
their characters, such as the character of the soldier, as in the two selected plays for
this research: The Hostage by Brendan Behan and A Soldier's Play by Charles
Fuller.
The Hostage depicts, through its events, the Irish oppre

Estimating the Population Mean in Stratified Random Sampling Using Combined Regression with the Presence of Outliers
...Show More Authors

In this research, the covariance estimates were used to estimate the population mean in the stratified random sampling and combined regression estimates. were compared by employing the robust variance-covariance matrices estimates with combined regression estimates by employing the traditional variance-covariance matrices estimates when estimating the regression parameter, through the two efficiency criteria (RE) and mean squared error (MSE). We found that robust estimates significantly improved the quality of combined regression estimates by reducing the effect of outliers using robust covariance and covariance matrices estimates (MCD, MVE) when estimating the regression parameter. In addition, the results of the simulation study proved
