Evaluation of bactericidal and anti-biofilm activities of silver nanoparticles against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli isolated from burn wound infections
...Show More Authors

Background: The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilliin burn wound infections related to biofilm formation, which lend to challenge in treatment with conventional antibiotics andprompting to search for novel antimicrobial agents to control the infections.Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have wide spectrum biological properties with different mechanisms of action and less toxicity towards human cells.

Objective:The goal of this study was to evaluated the anti-bacterial and anti-biofilm activities of AgNPs alone and in combination with aminoglycoside (Amikacin) and β-lactam (Ampicillin) antibiotics against multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacilli (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, klebsiellapneumoniae) isolated from burn wound infections. Type of the study: Cross –sectional study.

Methods: 70   clinical isolates of GNBtested for susceptibility tests by disk diffusion method against 10 antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of AgNPs and antibiotics were carried out according to the standard broth microdilution method, while synergistic interactions were evaluated by time kill-kinetic assays.  Calgary method was applied for anti-biofilm activity.

Results:Pseudomonas aeruginosa represented the majority of GNBisolated from burn wound infections 34 (48.5 %)followed by Klebsiella pneumonia 21 (30 %) and Escherichia coli 15 (21.5 %). Silver nanoparticles showed remarkable antibacterial activity against GNB that isolated from burn wound infections with the MICs between 25- 75 µg/ml.  Aztreonam, amikacin and cefepime were the most effective antimicrobial drugagainst GNB isolates.Synergistic bactericidal effects were observed in two-drug combinations of AgNPswith broad-spectrum aminoglycoside (Amikacin) and β-lactam (Ampicillin) antibiotics against multidrug resistant GNB. In addition,AgNPsalone or in combination with ampicillin inhibited biofilm activity about 60 % – 75 % ofGNB,while combination of AgNPs withamikacin exhibited a powerful anti-biofilm activity and inhibition biofilm formation by 75% to 80%.

Conclusion: The results confirmed a synergistic bactericidal effects and significant enhancing of anti-biofilm activity of AgNPs in combination with antibiotics (amikacin and ampicillin) against multidrug resistant GNB isolated from burn wound infections. These data suggest that AgNPs could beapplied as nanodrug for treatment of burn wound infections

Evaluation of internal control System in non-governmental organizations: Applied Research in the Iraqi National Olympic Committee
...Show More Authors

After 2003 Iraq witnessed a rapid development in the number and kind of non-governmental organizations in addition to the increase in their sources.A lot of obstacles and constraints hinder the development of the said organizations and one of the most important and prominent obstacles is their administrative and accounting structure that affect directly on the existence, continuity and survival of these organizations.This research discussed the concept the non-governmental organizations and reaching the assessment of internal control System in these organizations. Therefore, the researcher has assessed the internal control System applied National Olympic Committee of Iraq. The study showed vulnerabilities in the internal control the said

AN EVALUATION OF INVASIVE PEST, RED PALM WEEVIL RHYNCHOPHORUS FERRUGINEUS (OLIVIER, 1790) (COLEOPTERA, CURCULIONIDAE) POPULATION IN IRAQ
...Show More Authors

The Red Palm Weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier, 1790) is a devastating invasive pest of palm trees, invading the Iraqi date palm tree in 2015 for the first time in Safwan county, Basrah province. The Red Palm weevil has been categorized as a quarantine pest of date palm trees worldwide. In this study, a five years monitoring program has been achieved by scouting the invasive pest RPW population in Safwan county by using visual sampling and Pheromone baited traps.
The results indicated that the number of infested palms, increased from 12 trees in 2015 to 111 in 16 orchards in 2016. The number of the infested palms was minimized to 3 trees in the county in 2019 due to the management protocol of the Ministry of Agriculture

The search involve the synthesis of some new 1,3-oxazepine and 1,3-diazepine derivatives were synthesized from Schiff base. The Schiff base (VIII) prepared from reaction of aldehyde (IV) derived from L-ascorbic acid with aromatic amine ([2-(4- nitrophenyl)-5-(4-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole] (VII). Oxazepine compounds (IX-XI) were synthesized from the cyclic condensation of Schiff base (VIII) with (maleic, phthalic and 3-nitrophthalic) anhydride, compounds (IX-XI) that were reacted with p-methoxyaniline to give diazepine derivatives (XII-XIV). The structures of the new synthesized compounds have been confirmed by physical properties and spectroscopy measurements such as FTIR, and some of them by 1 H-NMR, 13 CNMR, Mass, and evaluated

The Electro-Fenton oxidation process is one of the essential advanced electrochemical oxidation processes used to treat Phenol and its derivatives in wastewater. The Electro-Fenton oxidation process was carried out at an ambient temperature at different current density (2, 4, 6, 8 mA/cm2) for up to 6 h. Sodium Sulfate at a concentration of 0.05M was used as a supporting electrolyte, and 0.4 mM of Ferrous ion concentration (Fe2+) was used as a catalyst. The electrolyte cell consists of graphite modified by an electrodepositing layer of PbO2 on its surface as anode and carbon fiber modified with Graphene as a cathode. The results indicated that Phenol concentration decreases with an increase in current dens
