Objectives: to compare health of mothers and neonatal among age groups, to find out the correlation between
age groups and mother and neonatal health.
Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out at delivery rooms of three teaching hospitals in Baghdad city
from Feb. 28th through May. 28th
, 2013. A purposive (non-probability) sample of 300 laboring women was selected
from delivery rooms categorized into three groups, group 1 (≤19) years, group 2 their age between (20-35) years
old and group 3 their age (≥35) years. The data were collected through the use of constructing questionnaire, an
interview technique with mothers and reviewing their medical records as means of data collection; The
questionnaire consist of 3 parts: (1) demographic data (2) health of mothers during pregnancy (pregnancy
complications) (3) neonate health status. The validity of the study questionnaire was determined through a panel
of experts and the reliability of the study questionnaire was determine by the application of pilot study.
Descriptive statistical analysis procedure (frequencies and percentages) and inferential data analysis procedure
(chi-square, P-value, split- half approach and Cronbach's Alpha correlation coefficients) were applied for data
analysis.
Results: the finding of the study indicated that the highest percentages of all the study groups were primary school
graduates, urban and housewives. More than half of mothers in group 1 (teenage mothers) and group 2 (20-35)
years were related to their husband, while the highest percentages of mothers in group 3 (advanced maternal age)
were not related to their husband. The highest percentages of complications present in group 1 (teenage mothers)
were anemia, urinary tract infection, multiple pregnancy, Oligohydramnios, poly-hydramnios, intra uterine growth
retardation, Post-term labor, low Apgar score, low birth weight, congenital anomalies, respiratory distrees
syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome and neonatal death. The highest percentages of complications present
in group 3 (advanced maternal age) were pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, antepartum
haemorrhage, pre-term labor, premature rupture of membrane and macrosomia. There is a statistical significant
correlation between age groups and hypertension and preterm, Apgar score, neonatal weight and respiratory
distress syndrome.
Recommendations: Care providers need to be aware about the increasing of obstetrical and neonatal health
complications in the extremities of maternal age (teenage and advanced maternal age) and adjust obstetrical and
neonatal management protocols to ensure optimal maternal and neonatal health

The irradiation has been achieved using ordinary light source (150250 W) power and (875 nm) wavelength. The influence of various irradiation times and HF concentration on porosity of PSi material was investigated by depending on gravimetric measurements. The I-V and C-V characteristics for CdS/PSi structure have been investigated in this work too.
Abstract
The study aims to build a training program based on the Connectivism Theory to develop e-learning competencies for Islamic education teachers in the Governorate of Dhofar, as well as to identify its effectiveness. The study sample consisted of (30) Islamic education teachers to implement the training program, they were randomly selected. The study used the descriptive approach to determine the electronic competencies and build the training program, and the quasi-experimental approach to determine the effectiveness of the program. The study tools were the cognitive achievement test and the observation card, which were applied before and after. The study found that the effectiveness of the training program

To see how body weight (BW) and leptin hormone (LEP) levels inbreeder blood affect fertility and hatchability. 140 Iraqi local laying chickens (120 females + 20 males) aged 28weeks were used in the study. Following the numbering of The experiment was divided into three periods,each lasting 28 days, during which the breeder's live body weight was recorded and divided into two categories(greater than 1.5 kg and less than 1.5 kg), and blood samples were collected at the end of each period todetermine the concentration of leptin hormone in the breeders' blood. For comparison between mothers'performance,

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized and characterized by X-ray. The mutualistic complementary dependence of BPTA with TiO2 nanoparticles as anti-corrosive inhibitor on mild steel (MS) in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid has been tested at various concentrations and various temperatures. The methodological work was achieved by gravimetric measurement methods complemented with surface analysis. The synthesized inhibitor concentrations were 0.1 mM to 0.5 mM and the temper
