Objective: Assessment of primary schools science teachers' knowledge towards health promotion in Baghdad City.
Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted at (100) primary school at Al-Rasafa, and Al-Karkh sectors in
Baghdad City, from November 29th 2007 to January 20th 2009. A probability stratified random sample of (100)
teachers who teach science subject was selected, and had at least one year of employment in the teaching field. A
questionnaire format was used which was consisted of (2) parts. The overall number of the items included in the
questionnaire were (205) items. The first part was related to the demographic data of the teachers, the second part
(six sections) was concerned with teachers' knowledge about health promotion. Reliability and validity of
questionnaire was estimated through a pilot study. Data were analyzed through the application of descriptive
statistical analysis which included; frequency and percentage, and the application of inferential statistical analysis
which included; mean of score, Pearson correlation coefficient and Chi-square test.
Results. The study revealed that teachers have acquired moderate level of knowledge about nutrition, communicable
diseases, immunization and vaccination, injuries and accidents, obesity, acute illness problems, dental problems,
social and psychological development, water and lead pollution, radiation, noise problems, waste disposal and plants
problems. Concerning the relationship between teachers' knowledge and their demographic characteristics, data
analysis has showed that there is no association between teachers' knowledge and their ages, gender, and sectors.
While, there is a significant associations between teachers' knowledge and their educational level, years of
employment and training sessions.
Recommendations: The study recommends that there is a need for health promotion-oriented education program
which can be designed, constructed and presented to primary school teachers with great emphasis on all aspects of
health promotion. Furthermore, teacher can be nominated and encouraged to actively participate in health promotion
training sessions. Also, the importance of a collaborative work which can be initiated between the Ministry of
Education and the Ministry of Health to create facilities for the implementation of health promotion oriented
education program.

Abstract The dissemination of knowledge is no longer confined to schools and universities, not even books. For nearly two centuries, the media have become prominent in disseminating knowledge and culture, in its public and particularly political aspects. After the development of the media from newspapers and magazines to the visual media, their role has increased from the dissemination of abstract information and abstract knowledge towards the process of forming new knowledge through what it publishes and broadcasts from different programs such as drama, news and talk shows. The impact of the media has changed the overall community awareness. Half a century ago the media was not so powerful and widespread. The evolution of the 1990s made

The current research aims to know the effect of gardens ideas strategy on deductive thinking among fourth-grade science students in physics.
To investigate from the aim of the research, researchers put the following zero hypothesis:
- No statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) between the students mean scores of the two groups on indicative thinking test.
The research was carried out on the scientific fourth grade male students in Al – Mansour in Baghdad; belong to Education Directorate Al- Karkh /1, for the Academic Year (2014-2015) A.D.

Therefore, the study of groundwater has required more attention. The present study aims to assess and manage groundwater quality's suitability for various purposes through the Geographical Information System GIS and the Water Quality Index WQI. The study area is located in the city of Baghdad in central Iraq, with an approximate area of 900 , data were collected from the relevant official departments representing the locations of 97 wells of groundwater in the study area for the year 2019, as it included physicochemical parameters such as pH, EC, TDS, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Cl, , and &nbs

This paper set forth the spatial suitability of the informal settlement supposed to be distributed by the Iraqis government to poor people. The Iraqi government identified 9 locations of informal settlement in Baghdad city and acceptance it as a reality as a help for them to getting home. In this paper I discovered the suitability of those locations which one will be suitable more than others for living. The analysis process was applied using the GIS environment – spatial analysis. According to the results, It has been identified as the most important measures to identify which one of these areas suitable for development for housing by using some criteria (Distance from the city center, Proximity from transport routes, Proximity of high v

This study aims to predict the organic pollution produced from the presence of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and determination it's concentrations (µg/L , ppb) in Tigris river water by a collection twenty-seven water samples from a selected three stations with nine sampling sites and three depths of water (5 cm , 2 m and 4 m) each site for 4.6 km distance of a geographic studied area which is located between the ( Al-Senak and AL-Sarrafiah bridges ) at Baghdad city – Iraq on May, 2012. The geographic location was determined with a Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) software program. The concentrations of fourteen components (PAHs) were performed using the reverse phase

Amebiasis is primarily a disease of impoverished communities in developing nations, although it has recently arisen as a significant infection among returning tourists and immigrants. Severe cases are linked to a high case fatality rate. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnosis is becoming more widely available, it is still underutilized. Treatment with nitroimidazoles is now suggested, however novel parasite medication research is a top priority. To avoid problems, amebiasis should be considered before corticosteroid therapy.
