Objective(s): The study aimed to assess the level of nursing performance and practices in terms of approaching or
distancing itself from the optimal performance criteria universally adopted within the variable dressing surgical
wounds of patients admitted to the surgical wards, and determine the relationship between the level of nurse's
performance and socio-demographic characteristics of them in those wards.
Methodology: A descriptive assessing design was adopted from November the 10th, 2010 until June the 1st, 2011 to
assess the nursing care provided practices for the postoperative period within the variable dressing surgical wounds in
the complex of Medical City. Whereas the study was conducted in three hospitals; Baghdad Teaching Hospital, ALShahid
Ghazi Hariri for surgical specialties, and nursing home hospital. A Purposive "non- probability" sample
consisting of (55) nurses from those who working in surgical wards at the time of data collection. The data were
collected after adapting AL-Ajloni questionnaire by the researchers that is dedicated to the purposes of the study and
composed of two major parts; the first part includes the page of socio-demographic data which contains (6)
paragraphs, and the second one includes the page of the major components of the study which contains (4) domains
in (39) sub-domain. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by (7) experts in the specialty field. While, the
reliability of the questionnaire was determined by calculating the correlation coefficient (Pearson), which was
statistically acceptable value (r = 0.86). Data were collected through direct observant approach by the mean of the
designed practice checklist. Thereafter, the data were analyzed through the application of descriptive analysis
measures (frequencies and percentages), as well as weighted arithmetic mean and Pearson correlation coefficient by
using (SPSS) Version 16.
Results: The findings of the study indicated that academic nurses had performed adequate practices relative to
postoperative wound dressing than practical ones. All nurses regardless of their gender had performed almost at the
same level of practices relative to postoperative wound dressing. Older nurses demonstrated inadequate practices
concerning postoperative wound infection precautions. The quality of nurse's performance regarding postoperative
dressing procedure was strong positive relationship with level of education. Nurses who had participated in training
sessions performed the same practices of others without it.

Nurses' practices and postoperative wound dressing
Recommendations: standards practice guide lines should be available for every nurse in hospital; furthermore strict
nosocomial infection control precaution should be followed by health care providers. In addition thorough advanced
training courses should be available for nurses dedicated in its nature toward standards ideal safe practice

The antagonism of the rhizospheric bacteria toward pathogenic fungi Macrophomina phaseolina was investigated. Ten soil samples were collected from the rhizospheric zone around Cowpea root (Vignaunguiculata L.). These samples were used as the source of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobacterial isolates. Twenty-five bacteria were isolated and evaluated as an antagonistic agent against pathogenic fungi. M. phaseolina was isolated from infected roots of Cowpea and used as a pathogen. Twenty-five bacteria were isolated and evaluated as an antagonistic agent against pathogenic fungi. M. phaseolina was isolated from infected roots of Cowpea and used as a pathogen. The synergistic effect between A. siccitolerans and (AMF) Glomusmosseae,

Abstract
Our description of the wxperience of any poet depends on the nature the anture of his writing or his style in terms of factors affecting his experience . We have found that al- Maghout is characterized by important poetis properties that characterized all of his poetry such as the ease in compositions that are formed the vocabulary of daily life . This is what constitutes his poetic lexicon that depends on the vocabulary of space , time , and anture . Hispoetry derives its aesthetics from revealing that strains in the text for the sake of surprise and amazement with a simple realism.
In this research, the dynamics process of charge transfer from the sensitized D35CPDT dye to tin(iv) oxide( ) or titanium dioxide ( ) semiconductors are carried out by using a quantum model for charge transfer. Different chemical solvents Pyridine, 2-Methoxyethanol. Ethanol, Acetonitrile, and Methanol have been used with both systems as polar media surrounded the systems. The rate for charge transfer from photo-excitation D35CPDTdye and injection into the conduction band of or semiconductors vary from a to for system and from a to for the system, depending on the charge transfer parameters strength coupling, free energy, potential of donor and acceptor in the system. The charge transfer rate in D35CPDT / the syst

The meanings attributed to Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) are shaped through complex negotiations within religious and socio-cultural frameworks, including those observed in Indonesia. Using a combined qualitative and quantitative (mixed methods)-ethnographic and survey approach, data from 109 students of religious tertiary institutions in East Kalimantan on their perspectives on FGM/C practices can be more comprehensively explored. The results of the study, which were analysed using the three principles of symbolic interactionism, showed that 72.5 per cent of religious college student families still practice FGM/C and 53.2 per cent stated that FGM/C practices are beneficial for women. However, they are also willing, if

In the 1970s, the world knew the long-tailed nesokia Nesokia bunnii (Khajuria, 1981) (Rodentia, Muridae) from the Mesopotamian marshes of Garden of Eden in Southern Iraq. This distinct rodent was known from only five voucher specimens collected at the confluence of Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in southern Iraq while its occurrence in Southwestern Iran had
never been reported. In the 1990s, a large extent of its natural habitat was catastrophically desiccated and the animal was last seen in the 1970s. Since then, the status of this elusive rodent was shrouded in mystery. In 2007, an extraordinary photograph of a carcass of this species came to the light from Hawizeh Marsh which was interpreted as concrete evidence of the species’ pers
