Knowledge and Attitudes Regarding Health Education among Sample of Iraqi Patients Attending Primary Health Care Centers
...Show More Authors

Background: Health education was put as one of the components of primary health care elements and was recognized as a fundamental tool to the attainment of health for all

Objective: To evaluate the Knowledge, attitude regarding health education & to find out if there is any association between the gathered data and certain variables (age, gender, educational level, occupation). Methods: A Cross-sectional study done at Al Mustansyryia Primary Health Care Center from the 1st of January to 1st of May 2016. All patients attending the Primary Health Care Centers who were above 18 years of age and willing to participate in the research (303) were included in the sample, data was collected by structured questionnaire, & then introduced into Statistical Package for the Social Sciences,V.17 for statistical analysis. Chi-square test was computed for significance of difference, and P < 0.05 was considered significant

Results: The highest group of age was (18-30) years old, (51.5%) were male, (35.3%) of participants are of high school education. The participants had good knowledge about health education. There was a significant association regarding knowledge, with ages and educational levels of participants, with no association regarding the gender and occupation. There was no association regarding attitude with these variables. Most of the of participants showed positive attitudes about health education as a practice

Conclusion: The participants had good knowledge about health education, and positive attitude.

Effects of NAA and BA on Lily (lilium spp.) Propagation by Scaling
...Show More Authors

The experiment was executed at the Botanical Garden- college of Science, university of Baghdad, Iraq. The period was from November 2016 to March 2017, on the scales of lilium ( Peral Carolina) belonging to the asiatic hybrids imported from the Netherlands. The scales of lily treated with naphthyl acetic acid (NAA)(0,25,50) mg/l and benzyl aminopurine (BA)(0,10,20) mg/l twice after planting to improve flowering characters of hybrid lily cultures . It was observed that at the concentration BA 20 mg/l and NAA 50 mg/l increased the number of bulbues formed about 0.8% and the number of bulbs as 11.3%, while the root length decreased with the same concentration about 5.7%. The fresh weight of the buds, the length of the buds and the number of

Change detection of remotely sensed image using NDVI subtractive and classification methods.
...Show More Authors

Change detection is a technology ascertaining the changes of
specific features within a certain time Interval. The use of remotely
sensed image to detect changes in land use and land cover is widely
preferred over other conventional survey techniques because this
method is very efficient for assessing the change or degrading trends
of a region. In this research two remotely sensed image of Baghdad
city gathered by landsat -7and landsat -8 ETM+ for two time period
2000 and 2014 have been used to detect the most important changes.
Registration and rectification the two original images are the first
preprocessing steps was applied in this paper. Change detection using
NDVI subtractive has been computed, subtrac

Abundance, Diversity and Distribution of Mollusca in the Gharaf River, Southern Iraq
...Show More Authors

This study is based on samples taken from one of the main branches of Tigris River; Gharaf River, at Kut Barrage in Wasit Governorate, Iraq. It  aimes to study the quantity and quality of the mollusca Invertebrates; furthermore. The study evaluates the molluscan biodiversity of the rivers by using appropriate biodiversity indexes. Thus, the first of its kind study in the evaluation of the diversity of mollusc in Gharaf River assemblage.  Monthly samples were collected randomly from the river mud, for 12 months, from January till December 2016. During the collection process; 5 stations on the river were chosen for sampling with 10(±1) Km distance between each of the stations, including Wasit Governorate. The study showed the

Effect of Age and Gender on QRS Complex Amplitude in Healthy Adults.
...Show More Authors

Background: There is controversy about the upper normal value of QRS complex amplitude in adult population under the age of 40 years. Most of the left ventricular hypertrophy voltage criteria were designed or tested for people above 40 years. In addition to age, QRS amplitude is also affected by gender and racial factors.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of age on QRS amplitude in each gender separately in healthy adults.

Patients and Methods: Electrocardiograms from 563 overtly healthy adults (386 male and 177 female) aged 18-40 years were obtained using Cardios PC based ECG machine, 12-lead ECGs were recorded and QRS amplitude was measured as the sum of (SV1+RV5) and

An Automated Classification of Mammals and Reptiles Animal Classes Using Deep Learning
...Show More Authors

Detection and classification of animals is a major challenge that is facing the researchers. There are five classes of vertebrate animals, namely the Mammals, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Fish, and each type includes many thousands of different animals. In this paper, we propose a new model based on the training of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to detect and classify two classes of vertebrate animals (Mammals and Reptiles). Deep CNNs are the state of the art in image recognition and are known for their high learning capacity, accuracy, and robustness to typical object recognition challenges. The dataset of this system contains 6000 images, including 4800 images for training. The proposed algorithm was tested by using 1200

Lupus Nephritis, the therapy and the role of Rituximab in resistant cases
...Show More Authors

Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune disease that affects mainly young females and nephritis is an important complication of the disease that may end with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Early diagnosis and proper treatment is important in decreasing the morbidity. Multiple immunesupressor agents used and according to the histopathology stage of the disease, still the proper drug used and the duration and dose required not settled. Rituximab which is monoclonal antibody that reacts against CD20 antigen on lymphocytes that cause B cells depletion is recently introduced in treatment of lupus nephritis .
