To this end adopted a set of advanced financial strategies and scenarios, Buy options, selling options and call options. This was done by adopting sophisticated standards and models as a two-dimensional and two-dimensional model for the purpose of identifying the hedge portfolio. The research reached a number of important conclusions:1. The rise and fall of the fair theoretical value of the option is due to the rise and fall in the stock market price.2. The hedging portfolio aims to achieve a rate of return that is fully equal to the risk-free rate of return.3. When dealing with a hedging strategy using buy options, the profits and losses of the investor under the hedge will be the difference between the return and the reward.4. When dealing with a hedging strategy using the selling options, the profits and losses of the investor under the hedge will be the difference between the return and the reward.5. The hedging strategy is used using covered call and sell rights to increase returns
Role of Humic fertilization on reducing water deficit and its relation to fruit yield of Okra and water productivity
No full text A experimental was conducted during summer season 2016 at Agricultural College- Baghdad University, Iraq to determine the actual consumptive use by okra crop (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) under deficit irrigation conditions and humic fertilizer, as well as the assessment the productivity of water and yield. Four irrigation treatments were used 1.Full irrigation (traditional - control), irrigation was imposed at 50% depletion of available water (T0). 2. Deficit irrigation: cutting or omitting irrigation for 15 days in initial vegetative growth stage (T1). 3. Deficit irrigation: cutting or omitting irrigation for 15 days in middle vegetative growth stage (T2). 4. Deficit irrigation: cutting or omitting irrigation for 15 days in flowering stage (T3). Humic acid treatments included application of 4 rates (0, 10, 20 and 40)kg ha-1. The results show the depth water applied was varied with irrigation treatment reached 1115, 1065, 1000 and 994 mm season-1 and water productivity recorder 0.60, 0.44, 0.65 and 0.56 kg m-3 for (T0, T1, T2 and T3) respectively. The humic fertilization increased N, P and K content in okra fruit and theses indicated the role of humic acid to increasing vegetative growth (plant height, leafs number and leaf width), and leading to increase the amount of processed food and fruit yield

A flashlight on Hygiene Hypothesis
Get PDFIs it necessary to live in too clean environment ? using of various types of sensitizer, cleaning soaps? or just like that live naturally without any fear of that expectant opportunistic creatures that may invade our bodies with all their deleterious weapons! Over use of such means may be simply two edges sword. This is the premise of the puzzle (hygiene hypothesis),our environment is too clean and our immune systems are no longer as heavily taxed with fighting off germs and bacteria. Increased rates of allergies and other conditions like asthma partly attributed to deviation in immune response because of poor immune response towards the infectious agents might be caught by normal contact with them
Effect of the relationship between vitamin C and serum ferritin on fertility.
No full text Eighty Eight subfertile women and fourty fertile women (control group) enrolled in this study. The subfertile women subdivided into two subgroups according to the cause of subfertility: first group are women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) including 45 women. Second group are women with unexplained subfertility including 43 women. Their age range (16-40) yr. At day 3 and day 13 of menstrual cycle estimation of serum level serum ferritin and vitamin C. The results show significant increase in serum ferritin value in women with PCOS at day 3 and day 13 of menstrual cycle. Serum ferritin is lower in subfertile women with unexplaiened subfertility but this decrement is not significant. No significant changes in vitamin C level
PCR Detection of Enterotoxins and Methecillin Resistances Genes in Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from local food in Sulaimania City
Get PDFPresent study was carried out to evaluate bacterial contaminated foods in local markets of Sulaimania city. A total 250 samples were examined for isolation and identification of Staph. aureus, that producer to enterotoxins and resistances to methicillin . The samples included dressing of cake, soft chesses (white), ready to eat foods, red meat, and poultry. The results appeared that: the incidence of Staphylococci were identified in 175 (70%) of the total samples from those; 104(42%) were positive for Staph. aureus which had the ability to grow on the mannitol salt agar media, the most contaminate foods were dressing of cake 51% and soft chess 45% , While red meat was 44% and poultry 48% as well as ready to eat foods which contaminated with 35% of the samples. According to biochemical testes; Staph. aureus isolates had the ability to produce many enzymes like protease lipase, lethicinase , Coagulase , Catalase, also could fermented mannitol anaerobically and Hemolysin production, while all the isolates were oxidase negative. The production of enterotoxin tested by culture methods for Staph. aureus isolates showed that 57.14% of the isolates were enterotoxin producer. The producer isolates were confirmed by PCR to detect the existence of (sea, seb and sec) genes, so 55%of the tested isolates possessed these genes. Sensitivity to antibiotics applied to Staph. aureus isolates that enterotoxin producer revealed different percentage of sensetivity to different antibiotics, the isolates appeared sensitivity toward pencillin, methicillin, vancomycin. The Methicillin resistance Staph. aureus which tested by disk diffusion methods was 81.6%, but by PCR was 73.3%
