IGF-1 is a protein produced by the liver in response to growth hormone stimulus.One important key in effectively preventing and treating osteo arthritis, is establishing a healthy balance of IGF-1. Leptin is a hormone produced by adipose tissue, acting as a sensor of fat mass in part of a negative feedback loop that maintains a set point for body fat stores. Leptin plays an important role in the progression of Osteoarthritis (OA), prompting some to classify OA as a metabolic disease. it, has been found in synovial fluid from patients with OA , and are thought to have local effects on joint tissues . Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is newly marker of atherogenectiy provide prediction to accelerated development of atherosclerosis in diabetes mellitus patients. Objective This study was designed to find out the variation of some parameters in OA with & without T2DM. Patients and methods This study included ( 88) subjects aged between (40-60) years (all females , newly diagnoses and obese) who were attending the Al- Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital . Baghdad and Al-Mustansiriya University . The enrolled patients were divided to four groups: OA(24) , T2DM (20), OAwithT2DM (24) and control (20) . Venous blood samples from women were taken for laboratory investigation which included : Fasting plasma glucose , lipid profile (TC ,TG , HDLc and LDLc) , IGF-1 , Leptin were measured and Atherogenic index of plasma calculated as molar ratio of log (TG/ HDL-C). Results The current study shows a significant increased atherogenic index , Leptin value , in three patients groups diabetes , osteoarthritis and OAwith DM when compared with control. But IGF-1 level was significantly decreased in the three patients groups T2DM, OA , T2DM with OA when compared with control . Conclusion Osteoarthritis has a direct effect on dislipidemia ,Leptin & AIP value in Diabetes mellitus type2
The aim of this study is to achieve the best distinguishing function of the variables which have common characteristics to distinguish between the groups in order to identify the situation of the governorates that suffer from the problem of deprivation. This allows the parties concerned and the regulatory authorities to intervene to take corrective measures. The main indicators of the deprivation index included (education, health, infrastructure, housing, protection) were based on 2010 data available in the Central Bureau of Statistics
Education is the most powerful and important weapon in fighting poverty and unemployment because it provides students with new skills that appropriate the new market requirements and fair distribution of natural resources. It also transfers knowledge, skills, and ethics over generations. Education aims to create effective leaders who go under training and rehabilitation process, create a new human and instill faith, generate the creativity and innovation, and keep abreast with scientific process, updating curriculum, and finally, applying the technical education
Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is caused by Candida albicans affects a significant number of women during their reproductive ages. Th17 cells play a major role in coordinating the host defense in oropharyngeal candidiasis. In this study we investigated the involvement of the Th17 response in an animal model of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). The present study aimed to shed light on detect concentration of the IL-17 of infected animal and control . A direct Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to quantify IL-17 concentrations in 30 infected animal with VVC and 10 control group. Rats were intravaginally inoculated with C.albicans, and vaginal lavage fluids, serum were evaluated for proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 The data

This research tackles the play of Synge "Rider to the Sea" to find out whether the
theories of Leech (1983) and Brown and Levinson (1987) can be applied or not to this study.
The model of Leech (1983) consists of seven principles and for Brown and Levinson
(1987),it consists of two principles of politeness where one of them is positive and the other is
negative politeness.
It is hypothesed that:
1. There is a relation between the two theories.
2. Synge deals with these theories in such a way to depict his characters.
3. It is also hypothesed that every character deals with these principles in such a way to show
the events of the play.
The study concludes that there is a relation between the two theories in d

Drag reduction (DR) techniques are used to improve the flow by spare the flow energy. The applications of DR are conduits in oil pipelines, oil well operations and flood water disposal, many techniques for drag reduction are used. One of these techniques is microbubbles. In this work, reduce of drag percent occurs by using a small bubbles of air pumped in the fluid transported. Gasoil is used as liquid transporting in the pipelines and air pumped as microbubbles. This study shows that the maximum value of drag reduction is 25.11%.

The objective of this research paper is two-fold. The first is a precise reading of the theoretical underpinnings of each of the strategic approaches: "Market approach" for (M. Porter), and the alternative resource-based approach (R B V), advocates for the idea that the two approaches are complementary. Secondly, we will discuss the possibility of combining the two competitive strategies: cost leadership and differentiation. Finally, we propose a consensual approach that we call "dual domination".
