Factors Affecting The Market Value of a Sample of Banks Listed in The Iraqi Stock Exchange
The market value of the stock is one of the basic criteria and indicators that are used to express the value of economic units, whether companies or banks. The market share price is often used synonymously with the market value, and there are a number of variables that affect the market value, they are represented in financial intelligence, volumetric efficiency, fixed volume return and variable volume return. So the research seeks to show the extent of the impact of these variables on the market value. The research problem stems from Iraq’s quest to join the World Trade Organization; the research assumes that there is a positive, statistically significant relationship between the variables of financial intelligence, volumetric efficiency, fixed volume return and variable volume return with the market value of Iraqi bank shares; the aim of the research was to study the impact of financial intelligence, volumetric efficiency, fixed volume return and variable volume return on the market value of Iraqi bank shares, the subject of the sample. The research came in two sections, the first of which dealt with the factors affecting the market value of shares, while the second dealt with statistical treatment methods, the research reached a number of important results, perhaps the most important of which is what confirms the nature of the positive relationship between market value and financial intelligence, the research recommended the need to reconsider the relationship between market value and volumetric efficiency, because volumetric efficiency, which measures the volume of service activities provided by the bank, and it is inversely proportional to the optimum size and its actual productivity

programming statistic aid “SPSS V.25” has been used in analysing data. The
study came up with some conclusions, most importantly was the proven
availability of the learning adequacies needed for the teaching staff and the
varying percentage over the availability of these four adequacies within the
teaching staff. The study proposed that it is a must to overcome the limitations
over using up to date technologies by the teaching staff alongside with
enhancing financial and human resources for better enactment of electronic
learning at the institute
The psychology of behavioral finance and its impact on financial Soundness indicators - An analytical study for a sample of banks listed in the Iraq Stock Exchange
The study aims to identify the primary elements that explain patterns of investor behavior in financial markets and assess them using behavioral financial indicators, as understanding such psychological factors aids in the correct forecast of such investors' future actions. The study's problem was to evaluate the impact of financial behavior psychology knowledge on achieving financial soundness. The study employed a descriptive-analytical technique based on financial analysis tools to evaluate behavioral financial and financial soundness indicators; additionally, statistical analysis was performed to determine the extent of the impact of behavioral finance on financial soundness indicators. The study concluded several findings and recommendations, the most important of which is the close relationship between the returns of market shares and the returns achieved by the bank as a result of its banking activity, and this close relationship is due to an increase in the sale and purchase orders of the bank's shares, which encourages investors to deal with banks in the form of deposit and borrowing, then using the money by the banks to invest. Finally, it was determined that accounting returns have a longer-term link with stock returns than a shorter-term relationship
Evaluation of direct microscopy and culture method for detection of Trichomonas vaginalis in vaginal discharge and urine samples
Abstract:
Trichomoniasis has emerged as the most common sexually transmitted disease, and limited data is available on the effective screening technique for the diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis). This study aimed to compare the ability of two culture media (InPouch TV and Diamond's) to support the growth of clinical isolates of Trichomonas vaginalis and their relative sensitivity for detection of the organism. A total of 343 patients complaining of vaginal discharge of 293 women and urine sample of 50 men were included in the study. From December 2021 to May 2022, from Azadi Teaching Hospital, Private clinics, and Midwifery and Childbearing Hospital in Kirkuk. Three vaginal swabs and a urine sample were screened for trichomoniasis by wet mount microscopy. Diamond Media Culture and Pouch TV were used. The 343 cases studied, 6 women and 1 man were positive by wet mount microscopy, which means 7 (2%) and 336 (98%) were negative. Sterile vaginal swab with centrifugation and urine samples had the highest rate of specificity (85%) to detect TV compared to vaginal swab without centrifugation and Amies Gel Transport Media (AGT) media, which had a lower sensitivity (33% and 16%), respectively. Inpouch TV media was the best culture to grow TV and remained for 10 days, but Local Diamond Modified Media (LDMM) had a poor result for growth of trichomonas vaginalis and only remained alive for 2 days. According to our experiment, the most successful routes of detection are urine and vaginal swab with centrifugation, and Inpouch TV is the unique culture for growth and better than LDMM

The Effect of Adding Different Levels of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae to the Quail Birds Feed or Drinking Water on Characteristics of the Egg Production and the Qualitative Characteristics of Local Quail Eggs
Abstract
The aim of this study is to see the effect of adding different levels Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the feed or the drinking water on the characteristics of eggs production and the qualitative characteristics of the local quail eggs. The levels (0, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5%) of yeast to the feed and 0.5 g / L in the drinking water for 324 birds as a total number. The birds were randomly distributed into six treatments; each of which included 54 bird/treatment and with 6 replicates (9 birds/replicate). The statistical analysis results showing A significant improvement showed that there was an improvement in the daily production rate of eggs (%H.D.P.), the mass of the egg (g/female bird/week) and the number of the eggs for the treatments characterized with high levels of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the feed (2 and 2.5% of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the feed). On the contrary, there was no significant effect on the weight of the average fodder consumed for the treatments that include Saccharomyces cerevisiae compared with the control treatment. Feed conversion ratio rate was improved in the third treatment and was higher compared with the rest of the treatments as its value was (3.17). Yet, there were no significant differences among the rest of the treatment and the control treatment in terms of the coefficient of feed conversion ratio. Moreover, it was observed that there was a significant improvement in the weight of the egg shell and its thickness in favor of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae addition treatments compared with the control treatment. As for the characteristics of the index of yolk, white, hue unit and the shape of the egg, the differences were not significant compared with the control treatment

Soft cheese was made from cow's milk covered with gelatin membranes which is loaded with copper oxide and selenium nanoparticles. The specimen stored for 20 days at a temperature of 5±2°C. The chemical properties of cheese were studied in terms of moisture, fat, protein, ash, and pH. The results showed that the moisture content decreased during the storage period The treatments coated with gelatin films to which selenium particles and copper oxidenanoparticles were added, had the lowest moisture loss percentage, and the T8 treatment had the lowest moisture loss percentage. The rest of the cheese components of protein, fat and ash did not show significant differences on the first day of storage compared to the two comparison samples without packaging and covered with gelatin film only T1 andT2, but the percentages of these components increased at the end of the storage period in proportion to the loss of moisture. The pH values were between 5.9 and 6.3% for the treatments coated with gelatin films supported by copper oxide and selenium nanoparticles, compared to the two control samples, T1 and T2. The pH values were 5.4 and 6.3, respectivel
