Effectiveness of an Education Program on Nursing Staffs' Knowledge about Infection Control Measures at Intensive Care Unit in Al-Diwaniya Teaching Hospital
...Show More Authors

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of the educational program on nursing staff knowledge about infection control measures at the Intensive Care Unit in Al-Diwaniya Teaching Hospital.

Methodology: A pre-experimental design (one group design: pre-test and post-test) was used. This study was conducted in Al-Diwaniya Teaching Hospital for the period from ( 20th February to 5th March, 2020) on a non-probability (purposive) sample consisting of (25 nurses) working in ICU. A questionnaire was built as a data collection tool and consisted of two parts:

First part: The demographic characteristics of the nursing staff (age, gender, level of education, years of experience in nursing, years of experience in ICU, participation in training courses related to infection control measures, and marital status).

Second part: Evaluation of the nursing staff knowledge about infection control measures in ICU, which consist of (39) multiple-choice questions. The validity of the questionnaire and the educational program were verified by presenting it to (11) experts. The sample has received a pre-test, educational program, and post-test. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the results of the study using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 and Microsoft Excel (2010).

Results: The study finding shows, that all the study sample responses at the pre-test were fair knowledge with a statistical mean of scores (1.342). Other than the post-test, shows (100%) of the study sample has high knowledge at the mean of scores (1.879). Also, the results revealed a highly significant difference between the pre-test and post-test of the study sample after participated in the educational program at the p-value (0.0001). The researcher concluded that the educational program was effective in the enhancement of nursing staff knowledge about infection control measures in ICU.

Recommendations: The study recommended the necessity of activating the role of continuing medical education correctly in order to give courses about infection control measures for all health care workers, as well as activate the national infection control program in Iraqi health facilities (2009).

On Fuzzy Groups and Group Homomorphism
...Show More Authors

In this paper, we study the effect of group homomorphism on the chain of level subgroups of fuzzy groups. We prove a necessary and sufficient conditions under which the chains of level subgroups of homomorphic images of an a arbitrary fuzzy group can be obtained from that of the fuzzy groups . Also, we find the chains of level subgroups of homomorphic images and pre-images of arbitrary fuzzy groups

Audio Classification Based on Content Features
...Show More Authors

Audio classification is the process to classify different audio types according to contents. It is implemented in a large variety of real world problems, all classification applications allowed the target subjects to be viewed as a specific type of audio and hence, there is a variety in the audio types and every type has to be treatedcarefully according to its significant properties.Feature extraction is an important process for audio classification. This workintroduces several sets of features according to the type, two types of audio (datasets) were studied. Two different features sets are proposed: (i) firstorder gradient feature vector, and (ii) Local roughness feature vector, the experimentsshowed that the results are competitive to

Some Results on Essentially Quasi-DedekindModules
...Show More Authors

In this paper we give many connections between essentially quasi-Dedekind (quasi-
Dedekind) modules and other modules such that Baer modules, retractable modules,
essentially retractable modules, compressible modules and essentially compressible
modules where an R-module M is called essentially quasi-Dedekind (resp. quasi-
Dedekind) if, Hom(M N ,M )  0 for all N ≤e M (resp. N ≤ M). Equivalently, a
module M is essentially quasi-Dedekind (resp. quasi-Dedekind) if, for each
f End (M) R  , Kerf ≤ e M implies f = 0 (resp. f  0 implies ker f  0 ).

Biochemical Study on Diabetic Nephropathy Patients
...Show More Authors

  This study deals with thirty non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus patients suffering from diabetic nephropathy in addition to twenty five healthy control.Some biochemical parameters were determined in the serum of all subjects enrolled in the study.These parameters are serum glucose,serum urea,serum creatinine,total serum protein and serum albumin.The aim of the present study was to estimate these parameters in diabetic nephropathy  patients.     The results of the present study revealed a significant increase in glucose,urea and creatinine in patients as compared to controls . Also a significant decrease was found in total serum protein, serum albumin and albumin to globulin ratio (A/G) in patients com

On The Modified Divergence Information Criterion
...Show More Authors

In this work (paper), we investigate about the robustness of the modified divergence Information Criterion (MDIC), which proposed by Mantalos, Mattheou and Karagrigoriou (2008), to determine the probability of the Criterion picking up the true lag for Autoregressive process, when the error term of this process is normally and Non normally distributed. We obtained the results for different sample sizes by using simulation.

On Almost Maximum Distance Separable Codes
...Show More Authors

The main goal of this paper is to make link between the subjects of projective
geometry, vector space and linear codes. The properties of codes and some examples
are shown. Furthermore, we will give some information about the geometrical
structure of the arcs. All these arcs are give rise to an error-correcting code that
corrects the maximum possible number of errors for its length.

Isolation & Pathogenic Study on Proteus mirabilis
...Show More Authors

During the period October 2003 till July 2004, about (253) urine samples have been collected from urinary tract infection. The study has shown that the bacterium Proteus mirabilis is the responsible for (11.85%) of the urinary tracts infections. Also, the study has declared that the ratio of separation this bacterium from women was (7.51%) and it is higher than the ratio of separation in both men and children which ranged (1. 58%) and (2.76%) respectively . About (30) samples of stool have been collected from children and the ratio of isolation this bacterium has been showen to be( 30%) from children aged bellow 3 years,as well as, we have got bacterial cultures related to P.mirabilis isolated from the infections of middle-ear and b
