Sustainability indicators in green residential buildings (Jawaher Degla residential complex as an example)
...Show More Authors

The environmental problems that have emerged recently as a result of pressure on the environment due to the increase in population size, especially in urban cities, where this increase was accompanied by the need for housing as well as the need for services and activities. This led to the establishment of many vertical residential buildings represented by residential complexes within the urban fabric of the city of Baghdad. As part of following the methodology of urban dictation policies in empty areas, and to accommodate the largest number of residents as a result of the multiplicity of floors and housing, these buildings must be subject to the standards and requirements of sustainability at the level of their spatial location and their functional performance in addition to their integration with the surrounding urban environment in order to adapt to the local environmental conditions. And to reduce pollution and move towards a healthy life for the population and live better, and achieve environmental sustainability over generations, and encourage modern buildings in the direction of following sustainability mechanisms in the design of residential buildings instead of

 

 

traditional construction. And the requirements of sustainability in terms of design and operational efficiency of the building and maintenance in a manner that reduces energy consumption and ensures efficient water consumption and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. In green areas and recreational areas in addition to movement paths to encourage walking and cycling to access activities, taking into account the orientation of buildings in relation to solar radiation and wind, in addition to following the mechanisms of sustainability in the waste collection and recycling process and all of the aforementioned that limits harmful environmental effects and reduces pollution It achieves a healthy life and ensures the well-being of the population. This research focused on the necessity and importance of awareness to move towards green buildings to achieve a sustainable environment that integrates with the urban environment of the city. The results of this study concluded that there is a relationship between the environmental indicators of green residential buildings and their impact on the surrounding urban environment. Buildings that meet the requirements of sustainability will achieve green building standards and provide sustainability at the level of design, operation, and maintenance of the building,and thus the quality of  life for residents over generations .

Entrepreneurial mindset and aspiration as critical success factor for small business performance in Iraq
...Show More Authors

The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between entrepreneurial mindset and aspiration and small business performance Baghdad, Iraq. This study proposed a quantitative analysis in which entrepreneurial mindset and aspiration is a critical success factor of small business in Iraq. The method employed in the collection of data was by the means of self-administered questionnaire which was filled and completed by small business owners randomly selected from a sampling frame of registered small businesses. The questionnaire was adapted from the study of Davis, Halls & Mayer (2015) and Abdel-Maksoud, Asada & Nakagawa (2008) which was used to measure entrepreneurial mindset and aspiration using a ten items scale and small business

Expression of Ki67 and p53 as proliferation and apoptosis markers in adenoid cystic carcinoma
...Show More Authors

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) constitutes about 4% of salivary epithelial tumors and is the second common malignant epithelial salivary gland tumor involving both the major and minor salivary glands. Aims of the study is to evaluate immunohistochemical expression of Ki67 and p53 proteins in ACC. Materials and Methods: immunohistochemical analyses of fifteen cases of formalin – fixed paraffin – embedded tissues blocks of ACC of salivary glands using ki67 and p53 antibodies. Results: ki67 was expressed in 6 of 15 ACC (40%) while p53 aberration was demonstrated in 11 of tumor (73.3%). There was a statistically significant difference between the expression of ki67 and p53 proteins in ACC cases (p value = 0.041). Pearson’s cor

Anti CD20 Monoclonal Antibody (Rituximab) as a Rescue Treatment in Severe and Refractory SLE
...Show More Authors

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with polymorphic expression. B cells have an essential contribution in immune system activation via the production of different cytokines and functioning as potent antigen-presenting cells. Therefore, a drug that particularly targets B cells may represent an ideal therapeutic approach for SLE. Rituximab (RTX), an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody causing transient B-cell depletion, has been used to manage SLE. This study aims to assess Rituximab effects on lupus nephritis (LN) patients when added to conventional immunosuppressants. Twenty four patients, 15-32 years old, with class III/IV/V LN were involved in this study. All were on steroids before lupus nephritis occurrence. They were

Cardiovascular Risk Assessement in Osteoporotic Patients Using Osteoprotegerin as a Reliable Predictive Biochemical Marker
...Show More Authors

       Some studies indicated a relationship between increased serum levels of osteoprotegerin with arterial calcification and as a result, it leads to the risk of cardiovascular disease. In our study group we selected patients with osteoporosis, with similar age and body mass index for the assessment of the relationship between cardiovascular disease and osteoprotegerin serum level. We took into account the analysis of correlation and association between the presence of distinct patterns of atherosclerosis and associated diseases like high blood pressure,  diabetes mellitus, low HDL cholesterol, increased LDL cholesterol, increased triglycerides and was the case of presence of any type of dyslipidemia,

Amino Acids as Environmentally-Friendly Corrosion Inhibitors for 2024 Aluminium Alloy in Akaline Medium
...Show More Authors

The corrosion behavior of 2024 aluminium alloy was investigated in alkaline medium (pH=13) containing 0.6 . in absence and presence of different concentrations of three amino acids separately [Methionine, Glutamice acid and Lysine] as environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitors over the temperature range (293-308)K. Electrochemical polarization method using potentiostatic technique was employed. The inhibition efficiency increased with an increase of the inhibitor concentration but decreased with increase in temperature . The maximum efficiency value was found with lysine =80.4 of 293 k and 10 . concentration of lysine. The adsorption of the amino acids was found to obey Langmuir adsorption isotherm . Some thermodynamic parameter âˆ
