Neonatal bacterial sepsis: risk factors, clinical features And short term outcome
...Show More Authors

Background: Neonatal infections are afrequent and important causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality especially in the developing countries.
Objective: The aim of the study is to determine the clinical picture, risk factors associated with neonatal sepsis and to estimate short term outcome from neonatal sepsis and its relation to birth weight, gestational age, onset of sepsis and type of bacteria.
Patients and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 80 neonates presented with sepsis who had been admitted to intensive care unit in Children Welfare Teaching hospitals in Baghdad over six months period between (15th of January 2008 to 15th of June 2008).A thorough history and physical examination were carried out, and samples of blood were taken for blood culture and sensitivity.
Results: Eighty neonates were studied, sepsis was confirmed by clinical and laboratory measures. Fifty five (68.7%) neonates were males and 25(31.2%) were females. Fifty four (67.5%) were preterm and 26 (32.5%) were full term. Fifty nine (73.25%) neonates were still alive during period of hospitalization and discharged home, while 21 (26.25%) neonates died. Early onset sepsis was detected in 26 (32.5%) neonates while late onset sepsis was detected in 54 (67.5%) neonates, However, the death rate was higher in early onset sepsis (57.7%) compared to late onset sepsis (18.5%). The death rate was higher in neonates with maternal history of prolonged rupture of membrane >18 hours (54.8%), also it was increased when there was fever or infection during pregnancy.
Conclusions: The study showed that the most common neonatal risk factors that increase the incidence of mortality were early neonatal sepsis, home delivery, prolonged rupture of membrane more than 18 hours and maternal fever or infection, and the most common features were lethargy, absence or weak moro reflex and reluctant to feed, The most common bacteria isolated from blood cultures was E. coli.

On Shrinkage Estimation for R(s, k) in Case of Exponentiated Pareto Distribution
...Show More Authors

   This paper concerns with deriving and estimating the reliability of the multicomponent system in stress-strength model R(s,k), when the stress and strength are identical independent distribution (iid), follows two parameters Exponentiated Pareto Distribution(EPD) with the unknown shape and known scale parameters. Shrinkage estimation method including Maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), has been considered. Comparisons among the proposed estimators were made depending on simulation based on mean squared error (MSE) criteria.

On Fibrewise Fuzzy Topological Spaces
...Show More Authors

The aim of this research is to study some types of fibrewise fuzzy topological spaces. The six major goals are explored in this thesis. The very first goal, introduce and study the notions types of fibrewise topological spaces, namely fibrewise fuzzy j-topological spaces, Also, we introduce the concepts of fibrewise j-closed fuzzy topological spaces, fibrewise j-open fuzzy topological spaces, fibrewise locally sliceable fuzzy j-topological spaces and fibrewise locally sectionable fuzzy j-topological spaces. Furthermore, we state and prove several Theorems concerning these concepts, where j={δ,θ,α,p,s,b,β} The second goal is to introduce weak and strong forms of fibrewise fuzzy ω-topological spaces, namely the fibrewise fuz

High pollutant levels of produced water around Al-Ahdab oil field in Wasit governorate (Iraq)
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Exploration activities of the oil and gas industry generate loads of formation water called produced water (PW) up to thousands of tons each day. Depending on the geographic area, formation depth, oil production techniques, and age of oil supply wells, PW from different oil fields contain different chemical compositions. Currently, PW is also known as industrial waste water containing heavy metals that are toxic to humans and the environment, requiring special processing so that they can be disposed of in the environment. To determine the heavy metals content in PW from the Al-Ahdab oil field (AOF), the Ministry of Science and Technology/Agricultural Research Department determined som</p> ... Show More

On Double Stage Shrinkage Estimator For the Variance of Normal Distribution With Unknown Mean
...Show More Authors

     This paper is concerned with preliminary test double stage shrinkage estimators to estimate the variance (s2) of normal distribution when a prior estimate  of the actual value (s2) is a available when the mean is unknown  , using specifying shrinkage weight factors y(×) in addition to pre-test region (R).

      Expressions for the Bias, Mean squared error [MSE (×)], Relative Efficiency [R.EFF (×)], Expected sample size [E(n/s2)] and percentage of overall sample saved of proposed estimator were derived. Numerical results (using MathCAD program) and conclusions are drawn about selection of different constants including in the me

Rate of Schneiderian First Rank Symptoms among Newly Diagnosed Schizophrenic Patients
...Show More Authors

Background: Schneiderian first rank symptoms are
considered highly valuable in the diagnosis of
schneideria.
They are more evident in the acute phase of the
disorder and fading gradually with time. Many studies
have shown that the rate of these symptoms are
variable in different countries and are colored by
cultural beliefs and values.
Objectives: To find out the rate of Schneiderian first
rank symptoms among newly diagnosed schizophrenic
patients, to assess which symptom(s) might
predominate in those patients, and to find out if there
is/are any correlation(s) between the occurrence of
these symptoms and the sex of the patients.
Methods: Out of twenty-four patients with no past
psychiatric hi

 In this paper, we introduce  and  study  new  classes of soft  open  sets  in soft bitopological spaces called soft  (1,2)*-omega  open  sets  and  weak forms of soft (1,2)*-omega open sets such as soft  (1,2)*-α-ω-open sets, soft  (1,2)*-pre-ω-opensets, soft  (1,2)*-b-ω-open sets,  and  soft  (1,2)*-β-ω-open  sets. Moreover; some basic properties and the relation among these concepts and other concepts also have been studied.

...Show More Authors

The effect of UV-light on the tensile properties of pure PC has been studied. It was shown that irradiation of PC undergo a drop in the tensile properties of 30 hour of exposure. The results of irradiated samples shows that the addition of ZnO and TiO2 with different percentages (0.5, 1, 1.5 %) will reduce the Young modulus and ultimate stress of PC/ZnO ,PC/ TiO2 composites

The Kurdish experiment in the process of translation (1898-1991): ئةزمووني كوردي لة ثرؤسةي وةرطيَرِاندا (189 – 1991
...Show More Authors

Translation as a human endeavor has occupied the attention of nations since it bridges the gab between cultures and helps in bringing out national integration. The translation of Kurdish literature started with personal efforts in which newspapers and magazines had played a vital role in supporting translation and paved the way for promoting the publication of Kurdish products.

      The bulk of the materials translated from Arabic exceeds that translated from other languages owing to the influence of religious and authoritarian factors.

The survey of the Kurdish journals was limited to the period 1898-1991 since it marked a radical and historic change represented by the birth of Kurdish journalis
