أشارت الجهود المعرفية السابقة إلى وجود اهتمام متزايد بالجماعات (Groups) على أساس أنها اللبنات الأساسية لقيام المنظمات. وقد فرض تعدد المنظمات في المجتمعات المعاصرة وتباينها من حيث أهدافها وطبيعة نشاطها، تجزئة فعالياتها إلى تخصصات عدة على وفق إطار تقسيم العمل، وبما أدى إلى تقسيم الأفراد العاملين إلى جماعات مختلفة في أدائها وأحجامها وشكلها، والتي تعمل جميعها لتحقيق هدف تلك المنظمات الذي قامت من اجله، مما يحقق لها البقاء والتقدم في وسط بيئة تتصف بالتغيير السريع. ولعل ابرز ما يشغل الباحثين والممارسين والدارسين للجماعات، هو تحقيق التناسق والتكامل داخلها، ومن أبرز أشكال التناسق والتناغم بين أفراد الجماعة الواحدة هو التعاون (Cooperation) ولقد عدَ (Barnard 1938) وهو أحد أوائل المنظرين في مجال التنظيم الحديث، التعاون شيئاً مهماً جداً لبقاء الوحدة الاجتماعية مستمرة في تلك الوحدة التي يرفع أعضاؤها بعضهم البعض للسلوك التعاوني. وهنالك منظرون آخرون تأثروا بـ Barnard)) أمثال (March & Simon)و (Thomson)، أدخلوا فيما بعد آراء مماثلة لارائه، وبالنتيجة صار التعاون مفهوماً أساسياًً في علم المنظمة والسلوك التنظيمي (Wagner, 1995). وعلى الرغم من الأهمية الكبيرة للتعاون، إلا أن المرء ينظر من خارج علم المنظمة ليجد سيلاً كبيراً من النظريات والبحوث والدراسات التي تتعلق بالتعاون بين أنواع الجماعات في منظمات الأعمال المعاصرة. فقد قام الباحثون في مجال الاقتصاد، وعلم النفس الاجتماعي بدراسة الأنماط السلوكية التي سميت "بالتطفل"Free–Riding) ) "والتواكل" Loafing Social)) أو الاعتمادية على الغير (Wagner, 1995)، وسعت بدورها إلى تحديد العوامل التي تعيق ميول الأفراد نحو التعاون. وفي مجال آخر من البحوث علقّ عدد من علماء الاجتماع على الميول الفردية للعديد من النظريات الحالية بشأن التعاون الاجتماعي والسلوك الإنساني، وأتجه بعضهم للقول إلى أن وجود الميول المتجهة نحو الجماعية قد تحفز التعاون بطرائق لم يجرِ تصورها في معظم البحوث، ومن هذا المنطلق، يجد الباحثان أنفسهما أمام أهمية دراسة مدخل الجماعية وأثره في تعاون الأفراد والجماعات داخل المنظمات، ومن أبرز ما وجداه مهماً هو هذا المدخل الذي يقود الفرد العامل في جماعة ما إلى تحديد سلوكياته داخلها، ومن ثم فأن اتجاهاته تؤثر في سلوكياته نحو التعاون مع أقرانه في الجماعة، أو عدم التعاون معهم.
This study is an investigation of the drugs effect on some pathogenic Acanthamoeba isolated from Iraqi waters, where the problem of environmental adaptation that characterizes this organism in addition to being a reservoir for many pathogenic microorganisms that take shelter in it to escape disinfectants and medicines is sometimes difficult to treat it with traditional treatments. Twenty water samples were collected from different water regions in Iraq, namely the Dokan Lake, Tigris River, Euphrates River and Najaf Sea, 5 samples from each source. Acanthamoeba was isolated from water samples on NNA and PYG media, using an inverted microscope with an electron microscope to determine their phenotypic features. PCR and

The study included patients with PCOS without insulin resistance (n = 48) and with insulin resistance (n = 39). The comparison groups were patients with no history of PCOS: a control group without insulin resistance (n = 46) and a group of patients with insulin resistance (n = 45). The following parameters were determined in patients: FSH, LH, TSH, T3f, T4f, PRL, E2, 17-OHd, Pr, AMH, Test total, Testf, DHEAS, DHEASs, SHBG, ACTH, cortisol, IRI, IGF-1, C-peptide, and glucose level.

Show MoreThe Southern Cowpea Beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) is one of the most widespread insect pests of stored legumes, causing a considerable loss during storage, decreasing the net weight of the crops, and resulting in reduced the quality of the crops. This study has been conducted to determine the lifetime, fertility and life table parameters of C. maculatus by using an alkaloids extract from Moringa oleifera leaves at different concentrations 1000, 2000, and 3000 ppm. The result was shown that the lowest survival rate was 49% at a concentration of 1000, 2000 ppm, as compared with the control which was 77%. The lowest reproductive rate (Ro) was 4.76 female/female/generation at the concentration of 1000 ppm, c

Show MoreThis study investigated the prevalence of quinolones resistance proteins encoding genes (qnr genes) and co-resistance for fluoroquinolones and β-lactams among clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae. Out of 150 clinical samples, 50 isolates of K. pneumoniae were identified according to morphological and biochemical properties. These isolates were collected from different clinical samples, including 15 (30%) urine, 12 (24%) blood, 9 (18%) sputum, 9 (18%) wound, and 5 (10%) burn. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) assay revealed that 15 (30%) of isolates were resistant to ciprofloxacin (≥4µg/ml), 11 (22%) of isolates were resistant to levofloxacin (≥8 µg/ml), 21 (42%) of isolates were re

It further aims to find out the differences in the level of wisdom-based thinking and psychological capital according to the variables of gender and specialization (scientific, humanities). To achieve this, the study has been conducted on a sample of (380) male and female students. The two scales, wisdom-based thinking and psychological capital are implemented to the sample after being constructed by the researcher and after ensuring their psychometric characteristics' suitability for the study's aims. Results concerning the first aim have shown that there is a significant relationship among students. The second aim has revealed that t

The chemical reactivity of the Indigo dye was evaluated by comparing the potential energy stability of the mean bonds. Seven transition states were suggested and studied to estimate the actually starting step of the degradation reaction. The bond length and bond angle calculations indicate that the best active site in the Indigo dye molecule is at C10=C11. The most possible transition states are examined for all suggested paths of Indigo dye degradation predicated on zero-point energy and imaginary frequency. The first starting step of the reaction mechanism is proposed. The change in enthalpy, Gibbs free energ

Show MoreLaboratory studies were conducted at the biological control unit, college of Agriculture, University of Baghdad to evaluate some biological aspects of the predator Chilocorus bipustulatus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), which is considered one of the most important predators on many insect pests, especially the scale insect, Parlatoria blanchardi, (Homoptera: Diaspididae) on date palms. The results showed that biological parameters of the predator were varied according to different degree of temperature. Egg incubation period was significantly different and reached to 7.5 and 5.44 day at 25 and 30°C respectively, Fertility was the same 100% at both temperature degrees. Larval growth periods were 17.41 and 16.12 day as well as the mortality
