...Show More Authors

313 blood samples were collected from bacteremia patients, including 146 samples (30 from patients and 116 from outpatients) from Azadi teaching hospital, 36 samples from the dialysis unit at Kirkuk General Hospital, 126 samples (42 from inpatients and 84 from outpatients) from the Children's Hospital, and 5 samples from the Women's and Obstetrics Hospital in Kirkuk province, for the period from January 24, 2022, to September 10, 2022. The study, including the isolation and diagnosis of bacteria and the study of their resistance to antibiotics, The results show that 32 (17.87%) positive growth cultures were obtained from febrile patients, 3 (8.33%) from dialysis patients in the dialysis unit, and 15 (65.21%) from burn and wound patients. Fifty bacterial isolates were obtained, all of which were gram-positive. 

Staphylococcus was the highest with 28 isolates, including [(11) S.homoinis, (4) S.epidermidis epidermidis, (2) isolates each of S.haemolyticus and S. Wagner, and (9) Staphylococcus spp.], while Enterococcus faecalis was one isolate. The gram-negative bacteria were [(11) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, (5) Escherichia coli, (2) isolates of Enterobacter cloacae, and followed by one isolate of Raoultella terrigena, Acinetobacter spp., and Klebsiella spp.). Staphylococcus spp. resistance to 20 antibiotics was studied, and the species S.homoinis showed 100% resistance to (Oxacillin, Benzylpenicillin, and Amoxicillin). Whereas S.epidermidis epidermidis was 100% antibiotic-resistant (Oxacillin, Benzylpenicillin, and Amoxicillin). S. hemolyticus was resistant to (erythromycin, benzylbeniclin, amosiclin, amikachin, gentamicin, torramichin, and tetracycline) by 100%. S. warneri was resistant to (oxacillin, benzylpenicillin, amoxicillin, and dusidic Acid) at a rate of one hundred percent.

The image of the family in dubbed Turkish series and their potential impact on Iraqi youth
...Show More Authors

Since the nineties of the last century, Iraqi youth have been exposed to Mexican soap operas dubbed into classical Arabic, and the stories and ideas presented by these series were almost new to all the minds of the youth at that time, a culture completely different from the culture we have of social relations, and since the number of episodes was more than Of the 100 episodes, exposure to these series has left young people confused by the addiction to all their ideas and stories. They differ from the foreign films (mostly American) that we used to watch, and they only take two hours (at most). These films contain diverse stories and may be forgotten. Memory includes events and characters in their entirety at times, and you may remember th

Construction of New Ion Selective Electrodes for Determination Fe(III) and Their Application in Pharmaceutical samples
...Show More Authors

Liquid membrane electrodes for the determination iron(III) were constructed based on chloramphenicol sodium succinate and iron(III) CPSS-Fe(III) as ion pair complex, with four plasticizers Di-butyl phosphate (DBP); Di-butyl phthalate (DBPH); Di-octyl phthalate (DOP); Tri-butyl phosphate (TBP); in PVC matrix . These electrodes give Nernstian and sub-Nernstian slopes (19.79, 24.60, 16.01 and 13.82mV/decade) and linear ranges from (1x10-5-1x10-2 M, 1x10-5-1x10-2 M, 1x10-6-1x10-2 M and 1x10-5-1x10-2 M) respectively. The best electrode was based on DBP plasticizer which gave a slope 19.79 mV/decade, correlation coefficient 0.9999, detection limit of 9×10-6 M, lifetime 37 day displayed good stability and reproducibility and used to determine

Determination of Sulfacetamide Sodium in Pure and Their Pharmaceutical Formulations by Using Cloud Point Extraction Method
...Show More Authors

      In this study, simple, low cost, precise and speed spectrophotometric methods development for evaluation of sulfacetamide sodium are described. The primary approach contains conversion of sulfacetamide sodium to diazonium salt followed by a reaction with p-cresol as a reagent in the alkaline media.  The colored product has an orange colour with absorbance at λmax 450 nm. At the concentration range of (5.0-100 µg.mL-1), the Beer̆ s Low is obeyed with correlation coefficient (R2= 0.9996), limit of detection as 0.2142 µg.mL-1, limit of quantification as 0.707 µg.mL-1 and molar absorptivity as 1488.249 L.mol-1.cm-1. The other approach, cloud point extraction w

Violence and Extremism in Iraq: Approaches to Motives and Means of Confrontation
...Show More Authors

     After the year 2003, Iraq went through multiple waves of violence and at different levels on the security, intellectual, political and social levels. Behind that stood several motives and incentives to enable violence that represented the first axis of research, the most important of which was the political motives that circulated an atmosphere that politics against society and transformed power into a field of political brutality against the individual and the group at once. There are also cultural, intellectual, media and economic motives such as weak cultural independence, poverty, marginalization, unemployment and want, and the absence of a media discourse that rejects violence but incites it, on the other ha

     Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a potentially fatal metabolic disorder worldwide, in this COVID-19 era. Long-term allopathic treatment has a variety of side effects, prompting the search for alternative therapies. Oleuropein, the primary bioactive ingredient of Olive Leaf Extract (OLE), has shown noteworthy actions to control T2DM. The present study provides a dynamic study of % improvement in GLUT4 concentration with different doses of metformin (150mg-500mg) in combination with 500mg using a dynamic in silico model developed in Cell Designer 4.4.2, a system biology tool. The results indicated that 300mg of metformin and 500mg of oleuropein is the optimum combination to treat diabetes, ensuring a 2% improvement in G

A Linguistic Study of ''and'' (و) in Arabic and English.
...Show More Authors

The conjunctive ''and'' and its Arabic counterpart ''و'' are discourse markers that express certain meanings and presuppose the presence of other elements in discourse. They are indispensable aids to both the text writers and readers. The present study aims to show that such cohesive ties help the writer to organize his main argument and communicate his ideas vividly and smoothly. They also serve as explicit signals that help readers unfold text and follow its threads as realized in the progression of context. The researcher has utilized the Quirk Model of Semantic Implication for data analysis. A total of 42 (22 for English and 20 for Arabic) political texts selected from different elite newspapers in both Arabic and English for the analy

Structural and Characteristics of Manganese Doped Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles and Its Antibacterial Effect against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria
...Show More Authors

The Manganese doped zinc sulfide nanoparticles of the cubic zinc blende structure with the average crystallite size of about 3.56 nm were synthesized using a coprecipitation method using Thioglycolic Acid as an external capping agent for surface modification. The ZnS:Mn2+ nanoparticles of diameter 3.56 nm were manufactured through using inexpensive precursors in an efficient and eco-friendly way. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy are used to examine the structure, morphology and chemical composition of the nanoparticles. The antimicrobial activity of (ZnS:Mn2+) nanocrystals was investigated by measuring the diameter of inhibition zone using well diffusion mechanism
