Objective: To assess the nutritional status of hemodialysis patients.
Methodology: A descriptive quantitative cross sectional study was effectuated in hemodialysis centers from
February 2011 to September 2011. A purposive "non-probability" sample of (70) male and female hemodialysis
patients in al-Najaf al-Ashraf Governorate from those who have spent more than six months on maintenance
hemodialysis schedule. Data collected through using of a well-designed questionnaire consist of five parts, part
one consists of sociodemographic contain (9) items, and part two consists of medical data contain (8) items, and
part three consists of health and nutrition behavior contain (12) items plus (8) items of anthropometric
measurements, and part four consists of food frequency contain (5) major items, and part consist of laboratory
investigation contain (9) items. In addition to food diary (24 hour dietary recall) used for validating the food
frequency part. Data collected by direct interview method with ESRD on maintenance hemodialysis patients’ also
by anthropometric measurement method and blood sample for laboratory investigation. Reliability of the
questionnaire was determined through pilot study and validity determined through a panel of experts consists of
(18) experts. Data was analyzed by using of descriptive data analysis (frequencies, percentages, mean, standard
deviation and relative sufficiency) and by using of inferential analysis (correlation coefficient, t- test and χ²).
Results: The study results indicates that the majority of study sample suffer from moderate malnutrition
according to several indicators including anthropometric measurements, laboratory investigations and (type and
quality) of food. Most of study sample was illiterate, and the sample divided between male and female with
invisible variance between percentages, the majority of study sample was nutritionally instructed but they don’t
reflect the desired compliance.
Recommendations: The study recommends with the necessity of establish a nutritional health style for
hemodialysis patients including several dialogist like calibrating of dietary intake, increase physical exercise as
tolerated, control body weight and enrich the list of laboratory investigations. Workout anew studies about the
studied phenomenon, activate the role of dietician (doctor and nurse) in hemodialysis centers, hemodialysis
malnutrition alert day and initiate a proper financial support through establish a hemodialysis malnutrition
foundation work for improvement of socioeconomic status and nutritional status through study subjects
Do’a and Zikr al-Mā’thur (authentic supplications and remembrance of ALLAH ‘Azza wa Jalla) can be suggested to Muslims to help them deal with challenges or issues in life. Counselling cases affect a person’s feelings. Do’a and Zikr al-Mā’thur are often applied as a counselling intervention. Unfortunately, the authentic Do’a and Zikr al-Mā’thur are dispersed in many resources not visible to users, and the fact that not all online resources offer access to accurate Do’a and Zikr al-Mā’thur to users and the dubious Do’a and Zikr al-Mā’thur frequently credited to the Prophet (pbuh). The goal of this research is to develop an ontology

Objectives: The study aims to reveal the approach of Imam Al-Salmi in the weighting between the apparently conflicting texts, and to show the extent of his agreement and disagreement with the rest of the fundamentalists, and does he have vocabulary that can be used to elicit legal rulings in modern contemporary issues?
Method: The method of induction and analysis is one of the main tools to reach the research results. The study resorted to following the sayings of Imam Al-Salmi in various sources and fatwas and standing on them, then analyzing and applying them to the various branches of jurisprudence in the various jurisprudential chapters.

Significant inactivation of up to 32 µg/ml of carbencillin, cephalotin, penicillin G, and hostacillin was induced by addition of 1:20 v/v vamin. This inactivation was due to the presence of specific amino acids in the mixture. Deletions of amino acids revealed that valine, leucine, isoleucine, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, cys

It further aims to lay down a map for the method of rooting this science by mentioning its rooted sources, in addition to drawing a miniature picture of its history, origin, formation and development. The paper ends with practical models to highlight its importance in rooting the science of nodal rules and facilitating the mentioning of its scattered discussions in a short and comprehensive phrase. The study further illustrates the pioneering role of doctrinal rules science in managing the doctrinal disputes, combining multiple sayings, and in bringing together opposing opinions.

Such study is important in environmental assessment to buildup data base about radioactivity. The concentration of natural radionuclides in the study area was determined to be occurring mostly in the clay minerals and organic matter. A high purity germanium spectrometer was used to detect the activity of these elements which ranged between 00.6±18.1- 1526±102, 0- 8.4±1.4, and 70.1±10.9- 328.2±73 in soil, and 28.2±5.6- 94±22.1, 0- 2.2±0.5, and 38.4±7.9- 70.1±10.9 in bitumen for 226Ra
