This study included 50 blood samples collected from children with mean age 8-12 years. Thirty five blood samples were collected from children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1D) with mean age 9.4±0.34 years, and 15 blood samples collected from healthy children as a control sample with mean age 10.9±0.38 years. Immunogenetic study was done on collected blood samples. Concentrations of IFN-γ were estimated from T1D patient and control samples by using Elisa instrument. The concentration of this interferon was 1.575 pg/ml in T1D patient sample in comparison with 0.921 pg/ml in control sample. Significant differences of this interferon concentration were found between T1D patient and control samples when Mann-Whitney U test was used. Gene polymorphism of IFN-γ T/A +874 gene was studied by using Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS-PCR) technique. The results of gel electrophoresis for IFN-γ T/A +874 gene revealed the presence of two alleles, A and T and three genotypes TT, TA and AA. The percentage frequency of T allele was higher from the A allele in T1D patient sample, whereas the percentage frequency of T allele was higher from A allele in control sample. The frequencies of A allele in T1D patient sample was significantly different with the same allele in control sample when Fisher’s test was used. The odds ratio (OR) and confidence Intervals (CI) values showed that the A allele was etiological faction (EF) and correlated with the disease, whereas the T allele was significantly different in control sample in comparison with T1D patient sample when Fisher’s test was used and become as preventive faction (PF). The results of ARMS-PCR technique for the IFN-γ T/A +874 gene were analyzed by using Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The TT genotype percentage in control sample was higher in comparison with the T1D patient sample and significant difference was found by using Fisher’s test. The TT genotype revealed as preventive faction from the disease, whereas the TA genotype percentage was significantly different in T1D patient sample in comparison with control sample. The TA genotype also revealed as etiological faction and correlated with the disease. The percentage of AA genotype in T1D patient sample was higher in comparison with control sample with no significant differences and this genotype revealed as etiological faction and correlated with the disease.
Background: Every hospital with delivery services should have skilled nurses immediately available for neonatal care, and appropriate equipments should be present at all deliveries. The first hour after birth has a major influence on the survival, future health, and well being of a newly born infant. The nurses have an important role at this time, the care they give during this period is critical in helping to prevent complication.
Objectives: The study aims to evaluate nurses’ practices toward care of the newborn infant immediately after birth in delivery rooms and finds the relationship between the nurses' practices and their demographic characteristics.
Methodology: A descriptive study was carried out in 3 teaching hospitals (
The Na-alginate bead is commonly used in biotechnology fields such as adsorption due to ion exchange between Ca and Na with elements. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) has proven to be a comparative method in the detections of these adsorbed elements, but the un-flat forming area of beads that can introduce impossible of the detection of element adsorbed. In contrast, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) documents analysis of elements, direct examination, which may analysis the adsorbents of elements. Here, this Study evaluated the possibility by using XRF for the direct analysis for examples of Cd and Ag in a bench stand. This Study compared this to commonly use

Abstract
Most universities in the world are largely committed to creating credible and transparent admission standards that provide justice in admission and have the ability to predict students' performance in their chosen programs. Hence, this study aimed to reveal the predictive ability of the acceptance criteria for the level of performance of master's students in the College of Education at Sultan Qaboos University. Quantitative data were collected from (115) students' admission documents for those accepted in the postgraduate programs for the academic year 2019-2020, and GPA data was collected from students’ transcripts for the fall semester of 2019. Qualitative data were also collected from the interviews

The researcher uses experimental method with partial control. The sample consisted of (80) students distributed into control and experimental groups. The scientific material, the behavioral goals, the teaching plans, and the instrument of the research have been prepared (reading comprehension test) by the researcher.
The instrument's validity and reliability have been calculated and then applied to the sample. After treating the data statistically by using SPSS, the results have revealed that there is a statistically significant difference at the si

In this research an AAN model was developed to predict iron concentrations in the location of Al- Wahda water treatment plant in Baghdad city by water quality assessment of iron concentrations at seven WTPs up stream Tigris River. SPSS software was used to build the ANN model. The input data were iron concentrations in the raw water for the period 2004-2011. The results indicated the best model predicted Iron concentrations at Al-Wahda WTP with a coefficient of determination 0.9142. The model used one hidden layer with two nodes and the testing error was 0.834. The ANN model coul
