The research aims to show the relationship between the use of automated accounting systems technology and its impact on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal control system in a sample of Bahraini universities in light of the rapid changes in the electronic business environment. Automated accounting and its impact on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of the internal control system, and it is concluded through the analytical study of the research sample that there is a percentage (93%) of the total respondents agree and fully agree that the use of automated accounting systems in Bahraini universities contributes significantly to enhancing the efficiency of the internal control system and its effectiveness, and the research recommends that it is necessary to use automated accounting systems of all kinds in the field of accounting information systems, because their use will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of these systems and thus will add value and a competitive advantage to the accounting units in Bahraini universities and will have a clear and direct positive impact on the future of those units and individuals working in them . It also recommends the need to raise the scientific and practical qualification of accountants working in universities. The future accountant should have technical knowledge of using automated accounting systems and be familiar with how to use them in order to employ this knowledge when the accounting units choose and determine the types of information and communication technologies to be used that are commensurate with the nature of work those units. It also recommends that the accounting units should develop accounting information systems by introducing the latest automated accounting programs and training accountants on them, whether these programs were designed specifically for the unit or they are ready-made programs and modifications were made to them in proportion to the nature of the unit’s work, without neglecting the interest in the communication network, because the production of The accounting unit of information without delivering it to the beneficiary parties will negatively affect the entire accounting unit, and make it isolated from its environment. Also, when designing a new automated accounting information system for the accounting unit or making an amendment or development of the existing system in it, the accountant should be a member of the design team This is because the responsibility for designing the concepts lies with him, in addition to the need for the accountant to be a member of the analysis team that takes place before starting the design process, because he is one of the most knowledgeable individuals in the details of work within the unit.
The inhibitive action of polyvinyl alcohol –sodium nitrite (PVASN) composite on the corrosion of mild steel in simulated cooling water (SCW) has been investigated by weight loss and potentiodynamic polarization. The effect of composite concentration (PVA/SN) , pH, and exposure time on corrosion rate of mild steel were verified using 2 levels factorial design and surface response analysis through weight loss approach, while the electrochemical measurements were used to study the behavior of mild steel in (SCW) with pH between 6 and 8 and in absence and presence of (PVA) in solution containing different concentration of NaNO2. It was verified that all three main variables studied were statistically significant while their interaction is

Background: Birth weight is a powerful predictor of infant growth and survival. Evidence now shows that children born with low birth weight face an increased risk of chronic diseases and have many health problems including oral health. The aims of this study were to assess the salivary flow rate, viscosity, and salivary cortisol among low birth weight kindergarten children aged 5 years old in Hilla centre, in relation to dental caries and compares them with the normal birth weight children of the same age and gender. Materials and methods: The total sample involved 80 children (40 low birth weights and 40 normal birth weights) aged 5 years old. The diagnosis and recording of severity of dental caries was recorded through the application of

TNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis is central to post-menopausal and inflammatory bone loss, however, the effect of phytoestrogens on TNF-α-induced bone resorption has not been studied. The phytoestrogens genistein, daidzein, and coumestrol directly suppressed TNF-α-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. TRAP positive osteoclast formation and resorption area were significantly reduced by genistein (10(-7) M), daidzein (10(-5) M), and coumestrol (10(-7) M), which was prevented by the estrogen antagonist ICI 182,780. TRAP expression in mature TNF-α-induced osteoclasts was also significantly reduced by these phytoestrogen concentrations. In addition, in the presence of ICI 182,780 genistein and coumestrol (10(-5) -10(-6) M) augmente

Rudimentary non-communicating functional uterine horn with unicornuate uterus, originating from anomalous embryological development of one Mullerian duct, is prone to different complications either at the gynecological or obstetrical level such as chronic pelvic pain, hematometra, subfertility and decreased quality of life. This unique case report presents a 14-year-old female with a history of severe chronic pelvic pain. She was diagnosed with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and had an appendectomy for suspected appendicitis within the symptoms’ interval. Ultrasound showed a right 5*6 cm right complex cystic mass assuming ovarian in place. She underwent a suspected endometrioma cystectomy operation and was diagnosed with left unico
