The effect of particulate pollution on patients with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
Get PDFDiabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels for long periods. This disease is widely spread among the world population, and an increase in its incidence is currently observed, and this is mainly due to a sedentary lifestyle and an excessive caloric diet. In order to know the role of particulate air pollutants and their impact on type 2 diabetes, this study came as it included 90 people from Diyala Governorate / central Iraq (males only), their ages ranged between (24-60) years and they were distributed among 25 individuals with type 2 diabetes. 2 working in gas stations and 40 people working in gas stations also at risk of pollution and 25 people in a control group and for the period from January 2, 2021 to March 5, 2021 for the winter season, and for the period from July 15, 2021 to August 22 2021 for the summer, as the study was conducted in the winter and summer seasons. 
A study of mental health VIS a VIS culture change and anxiety among international students: A study in Bengaluru
Get PDFCulture change is an incident an individual experience when he is exposed to an environment of different cultural components ideally differing to the home culture; Additionally, it refers to the sense of confusion that a person may have when adapting to a new culture as a result of immigration or travel, changing social situations, or just adopting a more varied way of life. (Macionis, 2010) This research identifies some of the major causes of a cultural change and highlights on parameters which affects their experience and their impact on mental health. The research has been done with a thought process of evaluating the type of change through four distinct phases vis a vis honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment, and adaptation phase. The aim of this research was to examine the culture shock and anxiety among international students studying in Bengaluru and to find out various coping strategies adapted by them to overcome their culture shock. Parameters identified in this study are: information overload, language barrier, generation gap, technology gap, skill interdependence, formulation dependency, homesickness (cultural), infinite regress (homesickness), boredom (job dependency), response capability (cultural skill set) (Ramsay, Jones, & Barker, 2007; Winant, 2001)
Development and validation of stability indicating RP-HPLC method for the estimation of azilsartan in Bulk
Get PDFAngiotensin-receptor blockers are often considered adequately efficacious in reducing blood pressure. By accepting the current regulatory requirements for an analytical method development, a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for routine analysis of Azilsartan has been developed. The optimized method was achieved using unisol C-18 (3μm, 4.6×150mm) coloumn with mobile phase consisting of mixture acetonitrile and methonal (90:10v/v) with a flow rate of 0.8ml/min at 249nm. The Linear concentration range is 2-10μg/ml. The detection and quantitation limit was found to be 0.45μg/ml. And the detection limit was found to be 0.149μg/ml. There are no interfering peaks under performed degradation conditions. The optimized method was validated according to ICH guidelines
Evaluation of the biological activity of the aqueous extract of Teucrium Polium on some biochemical parameters in Oryctolagus cuniculus male rabbits
Get PDFThe current study aims to know the protective effects of the aqueous extract of the plant Teucrium Polium to reduce the toxic effects of the liver caused by sodium benzoate in male rabbits of the type Oryctolagus cuniculus by studying some biochemical parameters ,whereas the results of the current study showed that animals dosing with sodium benzoate at a concentration of (250)mg/kg of body weight for 30 days led to a significant increase at(p <0.05)in the concentration of liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP)and a significant decrease in the concentration of oxidative enzymes (GSH, CAT) at (p <0.05) in the blood serum of the animals of the positive control group when compared with the animals of the negative control group
Palestinian press’s tackling of the May – 2021 aggression against Gaza: A comparative analytical study
Get PDFWith the advent of the blessed month of Ramadan in April 2021, the Zionist occupation forces launched a massive aggression on the Gaza Strip that lasted for eleven days. This study discusses the Palestinian newspapers’ coverage of the Zionist crimes. The problem of the study is to identify the journalistic tackling of the issues of the Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip during the Battle of Seif Al-Quds in May 2021, and the extent of the Palestinian newspapers’ interest in these issues. This study is a descriptive research, it uses the survey method and a content analysis tool to collect the data. The study reaches a set of results, the most important of which is that the two newspapers focused mainly on topics related to aggression events by (100%), which is a large percentage because these newspapers deal with this issue as the most important event. The study shows that positive topics came in a greater percentage than other topics by (98%), as they are present in a very large percentage in Palestine newspaper by (100%), and in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida by (95 %)
The complexity of policy making in pandemic crisis: Harmonizing national policy with global prevention pandemic policy
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the complexity of policy making in the pandemic crisis in the current situation. How do the all countries make “trial and error” policy model in dealing with the dynamic changing environment. The administrative state's exclusive ability to guide and manage public policy and administration is increasingly being challenged in both developing and developed countries. The research approach is content review of official documents and online news from each continent, which is defined by a few nations, in order to get a broad image of how complicated policymaking is. This call identifies a slew of regional and global governance actors with sway over state administrative and policy decisions. The findings are there has been a proliferation of institutional procedures and policy-making mechanisms and beyond but frequently conflicting with conventional state policy processes of the government policy delivery. Upcoming Events Formal and informal institutions and actors, often in conjunction with national public administrations, but more often on their own, are at the heart of these policy processes. Multi-stakeholder ventures, global public-private partnerships, and global commissions are all examples of this. 
Individual differences in students with special abilities in the canton of San Vicente
Get PDFThe research was based on the individual differences in students with special abilities of the elementary basic school "12 de Octubre, "of the canton San Vicente, according to initial inquiries and diagnostic tests it was possible to identify the problems, including individual differences and special abilities, which significantly affect the teaching-learning process, from this, relevant themes were established in the theoretical framework in relation to the variables, which allowed to analyze the causes and consequences of exclusion in the teaching-learning process. The aim was to determine how individual differences influence students with special abilities. The research had a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach, of a bibliographic type, was applied, survey, interview, and observation sheet to investigate the behavior of students and the processes of intervention by teachers in cases of exclusion.
