Identification of End-User Economical Relationship Graph Using Lightweight Blockchain-Based BERT Model
Get PDFCurrent methods for extracting information from user resumes do not work well with unstructured user resumes in economic announcements, and they do not work well with documents that have the same users in them. Unstructured user information is turned into structured user information templates in this study. It also proposes a way to build person relationship graphs in the field of economics. First, the lightweight blockchain-based BERT model (B-BERT) is trained. The learned B-BERT pretraining model is then utilized to get the event instance vector, categorize it appropriately, and populate the hierarchical user information templates with accurate user characteristics. The aim of this research is that it has investigated the approach of creating character connection graphs in the Chinese financial system and suggests a framework for doing so in the economic sector. Furthermore, the relationship between users is found through the filled-in user information template, and a graph of user relationships is made. This is how it works: finally, the experiment is checked by filling in a manually annotated dataset. In tests, the method can be used to get text information from unstructured economic user resumes and build a relationship map of people in the financial field. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is capable of efficiently retrieving information from unstructured financial personnel resume text and generating a character relationship graph in the economic sphere
THE EFFECT OF SOME MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES ON STOCK MARKET MOVEMENT IN IRAQ
Get PDFRegarding the effect of macroeconomic variables such as money supply and interest rate on stock prices, the efficient market hypothesis suggests that competition among the profit-maximizing investors in an efficient market will ensure that all the relevant information currently known about changes in macroeconomic variables are fully reflected in current stock prices, some of these relevant information (explanatory variables) may have interrelation (collinearity). In regression analysis, multicollinearity refers to a high strength correlation among the explanatory variables. Thus, the ordinary least squares (OLS) are unreliable because of the violation of the independence assumption of the explanatory variables. The high dependency in explanatory variables will cause huge value in the standard errors of parameter estimates and thus, OLS is no longer appropriate to be employed in modeling the data. The most popular method used to overcome this problem is ridge regression. A numerical example of stock market price and macroeconomic variables in Iraq is employed using both methods to investigate the relationship of the variables in the presence of multicollinearity in the data set. The variables of interest are consumer price index (CPI), gross domestic product (GDP), base lending rate (BLR), and money supply (M1). The obtained findings show that the ridge regression method can estimate the model and produce reliable results by reducing the effect of multicollinearity in the data set. It is concluded that there is a relationship between macroeconomic variables (CPI, GDP, BLR and M1) and stock prices in the Iraqi stock market ISE, and that these variables account 98.5% of the change in ISE
Influences of Different Concentrations of Herbicides on the Growth and Yield of Maize as well as their Effects on the Associated Weeds in North-Western Nigeria
Get PDFThe field experiment was conducted in the dry season between December 2012 to April 2013 at Bakori, Bakori local government,
Katsina (11033’N, 7036’E). The experiment consisted of 8 treatments levels which include 4 different formulations each; viz:
ParaeForce(R) at 150ml / 20L and 200ml / 20L,AminoForce(R) at 100mL / 15L and 125mL / 15L applied a day before sowing and 4
weeks after sowing and a weedy control. The treatments were laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD). The objective
was to evaluate resistant weeds to herbicides (ParaeForce(R) and AminoForce(R)) and their effects on the growth and yield of maize.
Result shows that 17 weed species from 11 families were encountered which include Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus rotundus,
Doctylocterium aegyptium and Eleusine indica that shows signifcant (≥ 0.05) resistance to ParaeForce(R) + AminoForce(R) at 150mL /
20L followed by 100mL / 15L had 91.70, 87.12 and 49.15% weed control efficiencies at 4,8 and 16WAS. Sequential application of
ParaeForce(R) + AminoForce(R) at 200ml/20L followed by 125mL/15L recorded significantly (≥0.05) high maize yield of (6.7kg) in all
the three blocks and effective weed control with 86.28, 77.58 and 33.55% weed control efficiencies at 4, 8 and 16WAS. This study
recommended the application of ParaeForce(R) and AminoForce(R) at 200mL/20L followed by 125mL/15L as an alternative way of
reducing weed resistance to ParaeForce(R) + AminoForce(R) formulation and to improved performance of maize yield in the experimental
site
The Aspects of Technology That Slow Down Foreign Language Learning
Get PDFDue to the rapid development of the world in all aspects, social, economic, educational, etc. among
nations, interactions have reached a high level. As a result of interactions, the need to learn a foreign language
has arisen and the importance given to it has increased. Due to the importance given to foreign language,
many traditional and technological ways have been used to teach the target language. Today, technological
paths are at their peak. In this study, we tried to draw attention to the negative aspects of technology, which
has a wide range if not paid attention to, on students trying to learn a foreign language. This article is discussed
in order to show that the speed and convenience of technology when used unconsciously will spend students
more than the language learning time they are aiming for
Resistance Changes of Escherichia Coli to Cephalosporin in Erbil
Get PDFAntibiotic resistance is a topic that is constantly being researched, and numerous studies are
published each year with new data that can change or redefine our perspective on the problem. The
emergence and spread of drug-resistant pathogens with new resistance mechanisms, leading to
antimicrobial resistance, continue to jeopardize our ability to treat common infections. This necessitated
the need for understanding the mechanism of action in each country due to the environmental changes.
The study aimed at documenting the resistance of E. coli to Cephalosporin in Erbil, Kurdistan Region of
Iraq. The study covers the periods from August to December 2018. Two hundred and two (202) samples
were collected from infected patients in Erbil from different specimens. Four different groups of
cephalosporin were tested against the resistance of E. coli. Ineffectiveness of the antibiotics used against
E. coli was reported. E. coli is becoming stronger every month, according to our findings. The rising
increase in the resistance of E. coli is a result of resistance to fluoroquinolones in E. coli, which causes
other resistance mechanisms because it is often linked to other commonly used medicines. There is a need
for proper investigation of E. coli resistance to the currently used antibiotic in each country because the
continued resistance might require to change guidance of many severe infections. Continued research on
medicinal plants is also needed to develop a compound against resistant microorganisms
Psychological Effects of Online Education during Covid 19 Process on Students: Tishk International University Case
Get PDFThe Covid-19 process has deeply affected people psychologically as well as in many different ways. This pandemic, which spread from China to the whole world, has caused increasingly important psychological problems over time. This pandemic, which caused great anxiety, fear and panic on the masses of the people, also had an impact on students. Online education, which emerged as a result of this process, also caused psychological problems. In order to determine how effective these were in the sample we discussed, a Likert scale questionnaire was applied. While the results obtained are generally in harmony with the problems mentioned in the literature, some contradictory results have also emerged

The study consisted of 98 samples chosen randomly from Tishk International University academic employees, and correlation and regression analysis were usedto interpret the collected data. As a result, we have found a robust negative relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention, and job satisfaction can significantly predict turnover intention
Iraq Turkmenian Folk Poetry: Death and Maturity Particulars
Get PDFIraqi Turkmens are a society that enjoys national values, rituals,and ceremonies. Horyat poetry,
one of Turkmen Folk Literature products, emerges as a tradition that has continued for centuries in Iraq,
Azerbaijan and Turkey with its name change. The horyat, which expresses emotions and thoughts as concise
expressions, is the name of folk poetry and music with a character of 7 syllables, 4-line mania. The stops are
usually (4 + 3), (3 + 4), (5 + 2), (2 + 5). Horyat is an art. To succeed in this art requires having superior ability.
It is necessary for a quartet to be considered a good horyat, besides being moderate and rhyming, to be
beautiful, to be said at the appropriate time and place, to blend folkloric elements with national sentiment, to
listen carefully and to express or to write their thoughts.
Condolence between the Turkmen until 30-40 years ago in the Ottoman period or even today started with the
day of the burial process of the deceased person and lasted 7 days. Nowadays, this condolence is done in 5 days
and 3 days. According to this period and the persistence of the pain, the age of the deceased person, and the
sex within the family due to the status of the family, especially among women, is said to be horyat style.
In this study, especially the places where children and young girls did not participate in places such as Erbil
center, Kirkuk center and Tisin region connected to Kirkuk center (now Kirkuk became a neighborhood),
Altunköprü, Dakuk (Tavuk), Tuzhurmatu, Karatepe, Imam Zeynelabidin village We tried to convey the
original mourning and mourning poetry performers of horyat calligraphers with their execution style and
environment
Does the cytomegalovirus infection cause kidney transplant rejection in Erbil city patients, Kurdistan region of Iraq?
Get PDFCytomegalovirus (CMV), the most significant infectious agent, belongs to the family of Herpesviridae. There is a high risk of severe viral reactivation among patients with kidney transplantation, particularly in the first three months after transplantation (where patients are at the peak for immune suppression), The infection has a high morbidity rate. Hence, this study was designed to assess the association of CMV infection with kidney transplantation and recognize the symptoms that are more related to kidney transplantation (KT) in the Erbil city, Kurdistan region of Iraq. The study enrolled 72 patients who received renal allograft from March 2018 to December 2019, and this population has been characterized as Middle Eastern descent and ethnic miscegenation. Data included age and gender of the recipient, type of donor, symptomatic and asymptomatic CMV patients. Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) was used to detect and amplify the extracted virus DNA from blood samples. The CMV was found in 43 patients infected with CMV with graft rejection of about 37.21%. While, it was observed in low rate 13.79% in 20 other patients with graft rejection which had free from CMV. The graft rejection rates were significantly higher among the CMV positive group than controls (P= 0.029). In the light of the results of this study, it has been concluded that the CMV infection in patients after kidney transplantation surgery was deemed an important predisposing factor for acute allograft rejection. The study revealed that the screening of CMV among donor could decrease the possibility of kidney graft rejection among recipients
How Internet Websites Portray Herbal Vitality Products Containing Eurycoma longifolia Jack: An Evaluation of the Quality and Risks of Online Information
Get PDFBackground: Tongkat Ali (TA) or Eurycoma longifolia is a herbal medicine (HM) plant traditionally used to treat sexual dysfunction and enhance libido in men. Websites containing information about HM are abundant. However, studies have shown that in general the quality of websites containing information on HM is low. The present study aims to assess the quality and risks of websites containing information about TA supplements and to identify the health claims for TA. Methodology: A cross-sectional study to evaluate the quality and risks of websites discussing TA supplements was conducted. Online marketing websites, research articles, news articles, personal opinions, and those restricted by password were excluded. The quality and risks of websites were assessed using a modified DISCERN tool and a set of risk assessment criteria, respectively. The health claims for TA were identified and analyzed using content analysis. Results: Overall, 321 websites met the inclusion criteria and were further evaluated. The overall rating of the quality of the websites was low, with a mean score ± standard deviation of 1.07 ± 0.51. Most websites lacked information that there may be more than one possible treatment choice and did not discuss areas of uncertainty. However, 67.9% (218/321) of the websites received a risk score of zero. A minority of websites (5/321, 1.6%) discouraged the use of conventional medicines. The most common health claims for TA included in the websites related to the enhancement of testosterone level (121/321, 37.7%), treatment of malaria (112/321, 34.9%), and improvement in libido (108/321, 33.6%). Conclusions: Websites containing information about TA supplements generally have a low-quality rating based on a modified DISCERN tool despite having a low-risk score. Government agencies and healthcare professionals (HCPs) must be more proactive in the critique and dissemination of information relating to HM, and in ensuring the safe use of HM among the public and patients
