استشعار النصاب (Quorum sensing, QS) هو آلية معروفة تستخدمها جراثيم عديدة للسيطرة على عوامل الضراوة الهامة من خلال الإنتاج والاستجابة اللاحقة ل .)N-acylhomoserine (AHLs جرى تسجيل تثبيط استشعار النصاب (QSI) ، الذي يستهدف الإشارات المعتمدة على AHL، كاستراتيجية للسيطرة على الأمراضية الجرثومية. وبالتالي، تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى البحث عن قدرة جرثومة الزائفة الزنجارية كمؤشر للفحص السريع عن QSI المحتمل المتسبب عن المستخلصات النباتية على أساس تثبيط الصبغة. استخدمت أربع مستخلصات نباتية كحولية بضمنها: براعم زهور القرنفل المجففة ( Syzygium aromaticum L)، لحاء القرفة (Cinnamomum cassia L)، أوراق المورينجا (Moringa oleifera Lam)، والقطب (Tribulus terrestris L) وجرى مقارنة قابيلتها على التثبيط QSI)) مع الفيورانون. استخدمت طريقة الانتشار في حفر الهلام، إذ جري تلقيح عزلة الزائفة الزنجارية على وسط الهلام الخاص بـها الذي احتوى على حفر بحجم 8 ملم لتحميل تراكيز مختلفة من المستخلصات النباتية فضلا عن الفيورانون أو محلول الفوسفات الداريء (سيطرة سالبة). أظهرت النتائج نجاح الفيورانون في تثبيط صبغة البايوسيانين للزوائف الزنجارية دون التداخل مع النمو الجرثومي، وهذا يؤكد قدرة هذه العزلة الجرثومية كمؤشر فعال يستدل من خلاله على وجود QS. الأهم من ذلك، سبب مستخلص القرنفل بتراكيز مختلفة في تثبيط تام لصبغة البايوسيانين مع تأثير ضئيل على النمو الجرثومي. عند استخدام القرفة، أظهرت التراكيز العالية فقط تثبي ًطا واض ًحا لصبغة العزلة المستخدمة. تسببت المورينغا أي ًضا في درجة معينة من تثبيط الصبغة ولكن بتراكيز عالية فقط. وعلى العكس من ذلك، لم يؤثر القطب على إنتاج البيوسيانين ولا على الحيوية الجرثومية. يستنتج من هذه الدراسة نجاح عزلة الزائفة الزنجارية المنتجة للبايوسيانين في فحص مثبطات QS. توصي هذه الدراسة البسيطة باستخدام مثل هذه العزلة ككاشف عن QSI دون الاعتماد على استيراد سلالات معينة من جراثيم Chromobacterium violaceum أو Pseudomonas aureofaciens أو Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Breast cancer constitutes about one fourth of the registered cancer cases among the Iraqi population (1)
and it is the leading cause of death among Iraqi women (2)
. Each year more women are exposed to the vicious
ramifications of this disease which include death if left unmanaged or the negative sequels that they would
experience, cosmetically and psychologically, after exposure to radical mastectomy.
The World Health Organization (WHO) documented that early detection and screening, when coped
with adequate therapy, could offer a reduction in breast cancer mortality; displaying that the low survival rates
in less developed countries, including Iraq, is mainly attributed to the lack of early detection programs couple
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of an Educational Program in Enhancing Nurse’s Knowledge about Occupational Health Hazards at Medical City Hospitals in Baghdad City.
Methodology: The present study employed a quasi-experimental design held at Medical City Hospitals in Baghdad City. A non-probability sample (convenience sample) consisted of (60) nurse. Data were collected by using a self-report questionnaire which consisted of six parts (a) socio-demographic characteristics (b) physical hazards knowledge (c) chemical hazards knowledge (d) biological hazards knowledge (e) psychological hazards knowledge and (f) mechanical hazards knowledge. Data were analyzed using the statistical packag

In addition to the proliferation of social networking sites that allow individuals to use them and participate in their channels without any restrictions limiting their freedom in publishing. Due to these sites many terms have emerged like alternative media which use internet and its various techniques to serve its objectives notably the freedom of expression without restrictions. This research studies the phenomenon of interactive media i.e. alternative media through Facebook along with the freedom that makes it spreading in the society and the relation of individual freedom with social diversit

The economic entities view about human resources has been changed from traditional view based on the resources as one of production factors required for achieving the activities that lead to create products in turn for financial substitute embodied in wages, toward contemporary view consider human resources the most important richest investments, a real source for continuing, developing, and achieving competitive advantage for the entity.
From that point, this research dealt with studying the subject of disclosing investment information of human resources in the financial reports of Iraqi economic entities. The research ended with stating a suggestive model for the

The study sample consisted of (3172) students (57.3% females). The researchers developed a questionnaire with (32) items to measure distance learning problems in four areas: Psychological (9 items), academic (10 items), technological (7 items), and study environment (6 items). The responses are scored on a (5) point Likert Scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Means, standard deviations, and Multivariate Analysis of Vari

The conventional method for identifying dinoflagellate cyst in natural sediment requires morphological observation, isolating, germinating and cultivating the cysts. PCR is a highly sensitive method for detecting dinoflagellate cyst in the sediment. The aim of this study is to examine whether CO1 primer could detect DNA of multispecies dinoflagellate cysts in the sediment from our sampling sites. Dinoflagellate cyst DNA was extracted from 16 sediment samples. PCR method using COI primer was running. The sequencing of dinoflagellate cyst DNA was using BLAST. Results showed that there were two clades of dinoflag

A total of 120 samples, 76 of raw milk and 44 of soft cheese were collected from different markets of Baghdad city. Enterotoxins in these samples were detected by VIDAS Set 2 system and it was found that enterotoxin A is present in a rate of 44.74% in milk samples and in a rate 54.50% in cheese samples. While other enterotoxins B, C, D, E were not found in any rate in any samples.
Through the study 60 isolates obtained from milk and cheeses were identified as Staphylococcus aureus by cultural, morphological and biochemical test by u
