Detection virulence factors of E.coli isolated from diarrhea patients under 2 years
No full textDiarrhea is one of the most common infectious gastroenteritis diseases in the children under two years old. The present study included 100 diarrhea samples from children patients under two years attending to Al-zahraa teaching hospital for Maternity and Children in Najaf during the period from September2013 to February 2014. From these 100 samples : 6o samples gave positive stool culture (causes by bacteria ) , and 40 samples were negative results(causes by other causative agent such parasitic agent , viral agent ,food tolerance and reaction to medicines). Out of 6o samples :30 isolates of E.coli causes diarrhea and 30other bacteria isolates causes diarrhea.The study dealt with Identification of E.coli from diarrheatic patients by using automated VITEK-2 compact system using Gram Negative-Identification (GN-ID) cards and detect some virulence factors of the E.coli such as : hemolysin , proteases, capsule, bioflim production , adhesion. The results explained that all isolates of E.coli have polysaccharide capsules ,it able to produce hemolysin was 51.6% , also it able to produce proteases enzymes was 35.4% ,E.coli able to bioflim formation was 74.2% and E. coli have able to adhere with epithelial cell was 80.6%
Protein pattern changes and determination salt tolerant proteins of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus Moench.) plants irrigated with salty water and treated with potassium nitrate and Tocopherol
No full textAn experiment was conducted in a private orchard at Shat-Al- Arab District, Basrah Governorate during the summer seasons of 2011and 2012 to study the effect of irrigation water quality and spraying with potassium nitrate and Tocopherol on protein pattern changes of okra plants.Treatments included three sources of water i.e. tab water, tab water + river water and river water alone or with 30 m. mol. potassium nitrate and150mg. L.-1Tocopherol. Result showed that the total number of protein bands/lane did not change under the low salt concentration but was dramatically reduced by the high salt treatment. The sum of optical densities (O. D.) of protein bands was inhibited by both levels of irrigation water, but was induced with the addition of KNO3 and Tocopherol with tab water+ river and with river water. different polypeptides of molecular weights were completely disappeared under river water irrigation. These bands reappeared in response to the addition of KNO3 and Tocopherol. Moreover, the optical density of every individual protein band was induced by Tocopherol under the low salinity. Results indicate synergistic interaction between salinity stress and KNO3 and Tocopherol for the sake of salt tolerance in okra plants.

حصاد المياه وأثره في تنمية الموارد المائيةفي العراق
No full textتعد تقانة حصاد المياه في العراق ذات اهمية كبيرة لما لها من دور في تنمية الموارد المائية والزراعية فيه وتوفير المياه للاستخدامات المختلفة ، نظرا لما يعانيه العراق من ظروف مناخية شبه جافة وقلة سقوط الامطار وتذبذب سقوطها بين السنوات فضلا عن ارتفاع درجات الحرارة الذي يؤدي الى ارتفاع عمليات التبخر، علما ان حوالي نصف مساحة العراق عبارة عن اراض صحراوية تعاني من شحة في المياه، وقد طبقت تقانة حصاد المياه في العراق بوسائل متعددة اكثر هذه الوسائل شيوعا انشاء السدود والخزانات على الانهار والوديان في مختلف انحاء العراق خاصة المناطق الصحراوية . تواجه تقانة حصاد المياه في العراق بعض المعوقات والمشاكل منها المعوقات الطبيعية والمعوقات التنظيمية والادارية والمعوقات التمويلية
A Phonological Study of Rhythm in Thomas Gray’s Poetry
No full textThis paper deals with a phonological analysis of rhythm in Thomas Gray’s poetry. As such, the current study attempts to answer the following questions: a. what are the rhythmic patterns in Thomas Gray’s poetry? b. what is the role of rhythm in the construction of the poetic value in Thomas Gray’s poetry? Accordingly, this study aims to (1) identify the rhythmic patterns in Thomas Gray’s poetry; and (2) explicate the role of rhythm in the construction of the poetic value in Thomas Gray’s poetry. To achieve the aims of the study, the following procedures are adopted: a.reviewing literature on rhythm in phonological and poetic studies; b.using a model developed by this study to analyze the data under scrutiny which are represented by two poems randomly selected from Thomas Gray’s ones. It has been concluded that rhythm in Gray’s poetry is characterized by variation and effectiveness since it is not limited to one metering flow of feet. Additionally, deviations of stress in poetic rhythm are related to the general theme of the poem and the literary objective of the poet himself. This reflects changes in the mood of the poem

Detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis In Urinary Bladder Cancer Tissues By Using Transmission Electron Microscope
No full textAbstract:Background:Bladder cancer is one of the most common human cancers in Iraq and the world. While smoking, age sex, and occupational exposure to aromatic amines are the most prominent among the risk factors identified, long term Inflammation and chronic infection may largely play some role in urinary bladder cancer (UBC) development. In the present study we worked on urinary bladder cancer and noncancerous Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) Tissue specimens of Iraqi patients, the current study used Acid Fast Stain and Transmission Electron Microscope for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Urinary Bladder tissues.Objectives: microscopical detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in urinary bladder cancer.Methods: The current study used urinary bladder cancer (UBC) formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues (FFPET) specimens of Iraqi patients collected from several privet histopathology labs in AL-Najaf province, the specimens were 50 specimens of UBC patients and 25 different noncancerous pathological bladder specimens. Slides of urinary bladder FFPE tissues were stained with Ziehl-Neelsen(ZN) stain. Examining of slides were conducted using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) imaging was performed special procedure was used for TEM slides preparation.Results: FFPE tissues were stained with Ziehl-Neelsen(ZN) stain. Examining of slides showed presence of high number of acid fast bacilli (AFB) in one microscopical field. UBC tissue slides showed the highest percentage comparing to noncancerous patients (76.6% and 23.4%) respectively. For further confirmation and study of ZN stain results, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) imaging was performed. The results showed presence ofdifferent morphological shapes of acid fast bacilli cells appeared in TEM fields and most cells were observed attaching to the urothelial cell membrane.Conclusions: high percentage of MTBC and MTB were detected among patients with UBC compared to noncancerous cases.Recommendations: modern techniques should be used for MTBC and MTB detection in laboratories, and further study for the relationship between chronic MTB infection and UBC are required.Keywords: urinary bladder cancer, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Transmission Electron Microscope

فلسفة الدين في فكر مصطفى ملكيان
No full textيعد مصطفى ملكيان من ابرز من أرسى نظرية جديدة في فهم الدين, ذلك فيما يخص في العلاقة ما بين الدين والحياة الجديدة والحداثة, وما يتعلق ذلك من ضرورة تغيير وتطور شكل التدين. وهو أحد الأساتذة البارزين واحد اكبر منظري الإصلاح الديني في إيران, يحمل نزعة إيمانية لا تركز على مفردات العقيدة بقدر مبدأ العلاقة الروحية, هو كذلك مترجم عن اللغات الأجنبية. وكذلك يعتبر ملكيان من الأشخاص الذين يهتمون بالبحوث الفكرية والسجالات في العالم الإسلامي, وإن اسمه معروف في هذه الأوساط, إذ يلاحظ تأثير بحوثه ومقالاته وكتبه في مجمل العلوم القرآنية والإسلامية, إذ استطاع نقل الكثير من المفاهيم والبحوث والتي عادة ما تكون موضع ابتلاء المجتمع المعاصر بأسلوب علمي وبلسان شيق ومفهوم, إن تواضع ملكيان العلمي وكذلك ابتعاده عن تسييس البحوث الفكرية والعلمية, يعتبر من جملة الهواجس الدائمة التي يعيشها هذا الرجل المتواضع في ميادين الفكر والفلسفة, وهذه الأمور تمثل خصوصياته الأساسية في كتاباته ومقولاته التي شيدها بنفسه ثم عرضها للناس بشكل منظم ودقيق.ومما ذهب إليه ملكيان ان الإنسان المعنوي استبدل الأسئلة المعرفية الكبرى بسؤال واحد, هو: ماذا اصنع؟ أو ماذا افعل؟. وأنه لا يضيق ذرعا بالصعوبات والشدائد التي يفرضها الواقع الخارجي عليه, وهو يرى نفسه المسؤول الوحيد عن تقرير مصيره وعليه فإنه لا يتمسك بأنه ذريعة لإلقاء اللوم والتقصير على الآخرين, بينما الإنسان العادي يحاول إلقاء جميع ذلك على الآخرين
