cesarean section considered as a study group, and another (50) women post cesarean section considered as the
control one, A questionnaire designed as a tool to collect data fit the purpose of the study a questionnaire include

before & after any procedure, Don't put ointment or cream on the wound, don't raise the dressing to see operation
immediately unless done by medical staff (P=0.000). Also significant differences are found in perineal care &
urinary system post cesarean in washing hand before & after using bathroom, wash perineum area water warm
water contains a antiseptics from front of the pubic bone to the anus, place sanitary pads from front to back to

and application of the overlap of the mothers of the educational process to be holding them in the hospital to
increase their knowledge of self-care after a cesarean section
This paper presents a study to investigate the behavior of post-tensioned segmental concrete beams that exposed to high-temperature. The experimental program included fabricating and testing twelve simply supported beams that divided into three groups depending on the number of precasting concrete segments. All specimens were prepared with an identical length of 3150 mm and differed in the number of the incorporated segments of the beam (9, 7, or 5 segments). To simulate the genuine fire disasters, nine out of twelve beams were exposed to a high-temperature flame for one hour. Based on the standard fire curve (ASTM – E119), the temperatures of 300◦C (572◦F), 500◦C (932◦F), and 700◦C (1292◦F) were adopted. Consequently,
