Parasitic diseases including amoebiasis, blastocystosis, giardiasis, trichomoniasis, and schistosomiasis, are all globally wide spread with harmful consequences. The present study was carried out to provide information of the prevalence of these diseases in some regions of Baghdad. Objectives: to detect the prevalence of human pathogenic parasites in some regions of Baghdad in stool samples and urine samples, and to determine the most common age group affected. Methods: Data were collected from Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital and Medical City Teaching Hospital, in the lab of parasitology from November 2018 to May 2019. The present study included (400) sample, which were collected from patients at different ages of both genders, samples of the study were selected randomly, divided them into equal number of stool samples and urine samples. Results: The results of epidemiological study showed that the total number infected with Entamoeba Histolytica parasite was (168) positive samples with total percentage of (84%) in both of Al-Kindy Teaching Hospital and Medical City Teaching Hospital with a percentage of (100%,and 68%) respectively, followed by Blastocystis Hominis with total number of (22) positive samples and a percentage of (11%), and then Giardia lamblia with total number of (10) positive samples and a percentage of (5%). Males showed higher number and percentage of infection with E. histolytica, (97) case with percentage of (48.5%), while females were (71) case with percentage of (35.5%), while number and percentage of infection with B. hominis in males were (17) case with percentage of (8.5%), and females were (5) case with percentage of (2.5%), finally number and percentage of infection with G. lamblia in male (5) case with percentage of (2.5%), equal females were (5) case with percentage of (2.5%). The highest percentage of infection occurred among age group (20-29) years with percentage of (36%), while the lowest percentage of infection occurred among age group (1-9) years, and age group (60-69) years with percentage (1%), were detected in Medical City Teaching Hospital. Urine examination showed there were no parasites in urine samples. In conclusions Entamoeba Histolytica was the most prevalent parasite in our study, followed by Blastocystis Hominis, while Giardia lambilia was the least prevalent one. Also males were more affected than females to parasitic infections, and the most common age group affected was (20-29) years. While urine examination showed there were no parasitic infections in our study. The current study recommend using permanent stains, also making more studies including increasing in number of samples.
Nonlinear time series analysis is one of the most complex problems ; especially the nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous variable (NARX) .Then ; the problem of model identification and the correct orders determination considered the most important problem in the analysis of time series . In this paper , we proposed splines estimation method for model identification , then we used three criterions for the correct orders determination. Where ; proposed method used to estimate the additive splines for model identification , And the rank determination depends on the additive property to avoid the problem of curse dimensionally . The proposed method is one of the nonparametric methods , and the simulation results give a

The purpose of this study is to investigate the biostimulation effect of 532 nm CW laser on the metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Cells were irradiated by 532 nm Nd:YAG laser using 0.153 W/cm2 power density at 30, 45, 60,180 and 300 seconds exposure times in their respective orders. Intrafluorescence parameters were measured by detection the autofluorescence intensity, proliferation rate and Imaging the fluorescent mitochondria using confocal laser scanning microscope. The results showed that the 30 and 45 second exposure times seem to have stimulated changes in the cells that led to increase proliferation, viability and mitochondrial activity. Autofluorescence of cells increased after 45 and 60 seconds exposure time. After 3

It is the grace of God and his grace that he accepts repentance for his slaves, forgives their bad deeds in return for their misfortune, or offers them a good deed, but pardons many of them for free. Therefore, it is not long for God Almighty to forgive His mercy for many of His slaves and bring them to Paradise with no punishment or punishment, even if they have committed some sins, because of the multitude of their favorable navigational disadvantages, or even without gratitude thanks to him and him. With all this, some have overlooked the old and new on these things and amazed at the hadeeth ((God may have seen the people of the full moon and said do what you want, I have forgiven you)). Therefore, the scholars tried to answer some of

To evaluate the shear bond strength and interfacial morphology of sound and caries-affected dentin (CAD) bonded to two resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs) after 24 hours and two months of storage in simulated body fluid at 37°C.
Sixty-four permanent human mandibular first molars (32 sound and 32 with occlusal caries, following the International Caries Detection and Assessment System) were selected. Each prepared substrate (sound and CAD) was co

DeepFake is a concern for celebrities and everyone because it is simple to create. DeepFake images, especially high-quality ones, are difficult to detect using people, local descriptors, and current approaches. On the other hand, video manipulation detection is more accessible than an image, which many state-of-the-art systems offer. Moreover, the detection of video manipulation depends entirely on its detection through images. Many worked on DeepFake detection in images, but they had complex mathematical calculations in preprocessing steps, and many limitations, including that the face must be in front, the eyes have to be open, and the mouth should be open with the appearance of teeth, etc. Also, the accuracy of their counterfeit detectio
