Factors Affecting Building Maintenance Practices: Review
...Show More Authors

Buildings begin to deteriorate gradually over time due to several factors, including environmental influences, improper use of the building, and neglected repairs for damages during the building's life span. Effective maintenance practices can minimize operational costs, extend the life of building systems and components, improve energy efficiency, and maintain property value. This paper aims to review articles related to building maintenance to identify factors affecting maintenance practices. After conducting the review, the result was that there were 33 factors affecting building maintenance categorized into six groups: management-related factors, manpower-related factors, technical-related factors, financial-related factors, building user-related factors, and building characteristics-related factors. Facility managers can enhance their understanding of building maintenance by examining the various factors that affect maintenance. By doing so, they can assess how these factors affect maintenance practices. This evaluation is crucial as it assists in creating efficient maintenance plans while optimizing resource allocation and timely repairs. Moreover, this approach enables facility managers to adopt proactive strategies toward maintenance, ultimately leading to cost savings by addressing or managing potential obstacles hindering optimal building maintenance.

A Review of Biosensors; Definition, Classification, Properties, and Applications
...Show More Authors

     Biosensor is defined as a device that transforms the interactions between bioreceptors and analytes into a logical signal proportional to the reactants' concentration. Biosensors have different applications that aim primarily to detect diseases, medicines, food safety, the proportion of toxins in water, and other applications that ensure the safety and health of the organism. The main challenge of biosensors is represented in the difficulty of obtaining sensors with accuracy, specific sensitivity, and repeatability for each use of the patient so that they give reliable results. The rapid diversification in biosensors is due to the accuracy of the techniques and materials used in the manufacturing process and the interrelationshi

Methods for Removing Dyes from Polluted Water; A Review
...Show More Authors

Most of the water pollutants with dyes are leftovers from industries, including textiles, wool and others. There are many ways to remove dyes such as sorption, oxidation, coagulation, filtration, and biodegradation, Chlorination, ozonation, chemical precipitation, adsorption, electrochemical processes, membrane approaches, and biological treatment are among the most widely used technologies for removing colors from wastewater. Dyes are divided into two types: natural dyes and synthetic dyes.

Review article - Impact of Vitamin K on Human Health
...Show More Authors

Vitamins k is an important fat-soluble vitamin that can be obtained from plants, bacteria and animals and is necessary for the blood clotting. It plays a key function as a cofactor in the synthesizing of blood clotting proteins in the liver; recently, the interest for its functions in extra-hepatic tissue has increased. Vitamin k deficiency is usually caused by abnormal absorption rather than in the lack of vitamin in food. Apart from its impact on clotting, chronic subclinical deficiency of vitamin K maybe a risk factor for many diseases such as osteoporosis, atherosclerosis, cancer, insulin resistance, neurodegenerative diseases and others, while current food intake guidelines be focused on the daily dose necessary to avoid blood loss.

Analytical Methods for Determination of Ketoprofen Drug: A review
...Show More Authors

Ketoprofen has recently been proven to offer therapeutic potential in preventing cancers such as colorectal and lung tumors, as well as in treating neurological illnesses. The goal of this review is to show the methods that have been used for determining ketoprofen in pharmaceutical formulations. Precision product quality control is crucial to confirm the composition of the drugs in pharmaceutical use. Several analytical techniques, including chromatographic and spectroscopic methods, have been used for determining ketoprofen in different sample forms such as a tablet, capsule, ampoule, gel, and human plasma. The limit of detection of ketoprofen was 0.1 ng/ ml using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry, while it was 0

A Review for Arabic Sentiment Analysis Using Deep Learning
...Show More Authors

     Sentiment Analysis is a research field that studies human opinion, sentiment, evaluation, and emotions towards entities such as products, services, organizations, events, topics, and their attributes. It is also a task of natural language processing. However, sentiment analysis research has mainly been carried out for the English language. Although the Arabic language is one of the most used languages on the Internet, only a few studies have focused on Arabic language sentiment analysis.

     In this paper, a review of the most important research works in the field of Arabic text sentiment analysis using deep learning algorithms is presented. This review illustrates the main steps used in these studies, which include
