Objective(s): To evaluate the family physicians' practices and to measure its impact upon the quality of family
medicine health care in Baghdad City model primary health care centers.
Methodology: A descriptive study, using the evaluation approach, has evaluated the impact of family physicians'
practices upon quality of healthcare in Baghdad's Model Primary Health Care Centers of Family Medicine. It is
carried out during 15th of May – 20th of August 2017. The study is conducted at five model primary health care
centers of family medicine from two districts; AL-Rusafa and AL-Kurkh. Sample size is calculated to be (76)
family physicians. Convenient sample of (124) patients who are attending these primary health care centers to seek
family health care services. Adopted structured self-administered questionnaire is used to collect data from the
Family physicians. The list of dual-forced items obtained through the Delphi process, which include "Do" or "Don't
do". Inpatient care is clarified with (25) statements, urgent care and minor procedures tested in (27) statements and
ambulatory care includes (16) statements. The quality of health care questionnaire is developed for the purpose of
the study. The overall number of items included in the questionnaire is (18) items. Internal consistency "split-half"
reliability is obtained through computation of Cronbach's alpha correlation coefficient. Content validity of the
questionnaire is determined through panel of (10) experts. Data are collected through the utilization of the
questionnaire and the interview technique as means of data collection. Data of both stages is entered to computer
using Statistical Package of Social Science, Version (23.00) for windows(10) (SPSS-23) and are handled using
descriptive statistical data analysis approach (frequencies, percentages, mean of scores, total scores and Cronbach's
alpha correlation coefficient) and inferential statistical data analysis approach (simple linear regression).
Results: The study reveals that the majority of the family physicians has performance experienced inadequate of
family health care practices. The quality of family medicine health care services in Baghdad's primary health care
centers of the patients' perspectives is poor (82.30%).The impact of family physicians' practices upon the quality of
family medicine health care services in Baghdad City model primary health care centers presents that family
physicians' practices have not made noteworthy change on the quality of family medicine health care services.
Recommendations: Family physicians can follow the family medicine practices' standards to provide quality of
family medicine health care services. The Ministry of Health Department of Primary Health Care can periodically
monitor the implementation of family physicians' practices standards for the benefit of better quality of family
medicine health care services. The family medicine quality of health care services can be valued on a regular base
for the benefits of the patients who are attending the primary health care centers to seek such care
There is a relationship between the sizes of urban centers and regional
development, concerning the role that these centers are playing in
developmental process.
The research assume that the urban system in the governorate, has
been affected by the external environment due to the religious dominance of
Kerbla city.
The research is composed of three sections, the first is a theoretical
background, which focus upon the general directions of the models and
theories that have a relationship with the subject. The second is a practical
part aims at determination the characteristics of the sizes of the cities in the
governorate. Depending upon of previous part, i.e., the practical part section three deals with

The aim of this study to evaluate the effects of die holes diameter and speed of die on the performance of machine and feed pellet quality. Machine productivity (Kg.h-1), consumed power (kW), pellet durability (%) and pellet bulk density (g.cm-3) was studied. The study factors consisted of three diameter of die holes (3, 4, and 5 mm), and three speeds die (280, 300, and 320 rpm). Results showed with increasing of die holes diameter from 3 to 4 and to 5 mm give a significant increase in machine productivity, while consumed power, pellet durability and pellet bulk density a significant decreased. By increasing the die speed, from 280 to 300 then to 320 rpm, the machine productivity increased significantly, while consumed power, pellet durabil

Gypseous soils are distributed in many regions in the world including Iraq, which cover more than (31%) of the surface area of the country. Existence of these soils, always with high gypsum content, caused difficult problems to the buildings and strategic projects due to dissolution and leaching of the gypsum caused by the action of water flow through soil mass. For the study, the gypseous soil was brought from Bahr Al-Najaf, Al-Najaf Governorate which is located in the middle of Iraq. The model pile was embedded in gypseous soil with 42% gypsum content. Compression axial model pile load tests have been carried out for model pile embedded in gypseous soil at initial degree of saturation of (7%) before and after soil satu

One hundred and sixty-eight 7-week-old Japanese quail were randomly assigned to 4 groups (12 males and 30 females each) with 3 replicates per group containing 4 males and 10 females each and fed for 13 weeks (including one week as an adaptation period) on a commercial diet supplemented with 3% of sunflower oil (T1), flax oil (T2), corn oil (T3), or fish oil (T4). The birds received water and were fed ad libitum during the study. The results of the experiment revealed that dietary supplementation with different sources of oil had no significant effect on male body weight, female body

A seemingly uncorrelated regression (SUR) model is a special case of multivariate models, in which the error terms in these equations are contemporaneously related. The method estimator (GLS) is efficient because it takes into account the covariance structure of errors, but it is also very sensitive to outliers. The robust SUR estimator can dealing outliers. We propose two robust methods for calculating the estimator, which are (S-Estimations, and FastSUR). We find that it significantly improved the quality of SUR model estimates. In addition, the results gave the FastSUR method superiority over the S method in dealing with outliers contained in the data set, as it has lower (MSE and RMSE) and higher (R-Squared and R-Square Adjus

Collaborative filtering (CF) is one of the most knowledge discovery methods used positively in recommendation system. Memory collaborative filtering emphasizes on using facts about present users to predict new things for the target user. Similarity measures are the core operations in collaborative filtering and the prediction accuracy is mostly dependent on similarity calculations. In this study, a combination of weighted parameters and traditional similarity measures are conducted to calculate relationship among users over Movie Lens data set rating matrix. The advantages and disadvantages of each measure are spotted. From the study, a n
