Authors: Kteo Battol Qasem , Mohammed Akram Ali , Al-Saffar Hanaa H.
Published: June 2023

This study evaluated the effect of spore suspension and fungal filtrate against different developmental stages of Tribolium castaneum third and fifth larval instars and adults. Two isolates of entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae were used (commercially (Met 52 EC), and domesticly). For the two isolates, the effectiveness of various conidial concentrations were (1 × 104 ; 1 × 106 ; 1 × 108  conidia/ ml) and various concentrations of fungal filtrate (100,75,50%) were evaluated. It is observed that the fungal filtrate at a concentration of 75% and the conidial concentration of 1 x 108 conidia /ml for both isolates were the most effective in causing the highest mortality rates to the third and fifth instar larva and adults of  T. castaneum. Additionally, it resulted in less eggs produced by females treated with conidial concentration and fungal filtrate compared to control treatment. The results of this study demonstrate that the fungus can be used as a biological control agent against T. castaneum, which infects stored products. However, further research studies under storage conditions are required.

Published: June 2023

Litter size is the most important reproductive trait in sheep production, which is influenced by the ovulation rate, a few hormones, and the fecundity genes. Ewe reproductive performance is known to be affected by body measurements. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the possibility of an association between the litter size with sex hormones and body measurements in Iraqi Awassi ewes. A total of 224 sexually mature ewes, non-pregnant, non-lactation and healthy (124 ewes with single birth and 100 ewes with twin birth), aged between 2.5 to 5 years were included in this study. Blood samples were collected from the sheep, and then the serum was separated from blood to determine the concentrations of the estradiol and progesterone. Live body weight and body measurements were determined for each animal. The result of the present study refers that the live body weight of Awassi ewes was significantly (P<0.05) influenced in the litter size. The association analysis of litter size with body measurements indicated that the neck length, height at hip and chest girth were different for the type of birth of Awassi ewes. The highest positive correlation (P < 0.01) was recorded among litter size with live body weight (r=0.698, P=0.001), with height at shoulder (r=0.242, P=0.031) and height at hip (r=0.309, P=0.005).In conclusion, the litter size of Awassi ewes is influenced by the other phenotypic traits. The ewes with heavier live body weight and higher body measurements are more favorable to having more lambs than ewes with a single birth.

The impact of Mesopotamian myths on the drawings of Al-Wasiti
Authors: Areej Saad Adnan Al - Hindawi
Published: June 2023

Al-Wasiti's drawings are the first attempt to document the Arab landscape more than 778 years ago. These drawings were associated with a fine literary material, and the relationships between words and poetic sentences are matched by artistic, aesthetic and color relations in drawing, as they are all outputs of a sense that agreed in creativity and differed in the language of expression. Al-Wasiti was creative in drawing these events. Islamic painting has a goal that differs from the goals of the painting arts that preceded it or its contemporary, as it tends to “beautification” only. This is achieved by true copying from nature, just as it is achieved by drawing what is transmitted from nature, transforming and refining it. The shocking and ambiguous thing in these (Maqamah), especially in the thirty-ninth (Maqamah), He dared to draw a woman going through labor, revealing her body parts with a clear frontal drawing & we find that it exceeded what is expected of a Muslim painter. In another drawing from this (Maqamah), we notice the presence of strange beings that distort the human form and link it to some ancient Mesopotamian myths. After doing research to try to find the origin of these strange beings, the researcher reached the Mesopotamian origin of these figures (Ishtar and the Bird of Spirits), which go back to the Assyrian antiquities with ancient Babylonian roots.

Conceptual or conceptual art considers the idea to be the machine that produces art, and the plan becomes by using artistic tools such as line, space, color, simile and etaphor in the service of the idea communicating with the recipient in an nteresting and non-traditional way and can attract the recipient and provoke his thinking and support the message contained in the design of the idea, so conceptual art played a role Important in these campaigns, through the idea, the art was able to transform the advertisement into a visual image with two dimensions that attracts the mind and arouses attention. Accordingly, the structure of the study was established in four chapters, in which the first chapter (the methodological framework of the research) came from the research problem, which is summarized in the following question :What are the basic steps required for the success of awareness campaigns?The importance of the research and the need for it, and the aim of the research, were determined by defining the intellectual dimension of conceptual art, the objective and temporal limits of research, and the spatial limits, then defining and defining the terms. The role of conceptual art in educating the community) and then came the third chapter (research procedures) and the researcher identified the research community consisting of approximately (17) works of art.

Published: June 2023

Recruitment and retention in healthcare were uniquely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. An existing workforce shortage was significantly exacerbated by high attrition, early retirements, and people leaving healthcare altogether because of burnout and exhaustion. Since the pandemic crisis has eased, individuals have shown the desire for healthier work–life balance and opportunities for remote or hybrid work environments with clearly defined career paths. Recognizing this shift and aligning with the current environment are imperative to recruiting and retaining employees in healthcare. At the NCCN 2023 Annual Conference, a panel of experts from 5 major academic oncology centers shared their struggles with recruitment and retention (both before and after the COVID-19 pandemic) and offered valuable insight into some of the systems and processes they’ve since implemented to attract desirable candidates, make them feel heard and appreciated, and retain them in the long run.

Comparison of two methods to estimate the population density of Ocypode gaudichaudii
Authors: Tumbaco Keyla , Zambrano René
Published: June 2023

El estudio compara dos métodos de estimación (i.e., cuadrantes y distancias) de densidad poblacional, en O. gaudichaudii. Se establecieron 13 transectos en la playa “Los Ranchos” y ocho en “Las Bocas”; además, se realizó un censo visual en cada playa. Los análisis se desarrollaron considerando a Los Ranchos como un área y como dos subdivisiones (Los Ranchos-1, 2). Los resultados mostraron que, el muestreo por cuadrantes fue más preciso, en Los Ranchos-2 (6% de sesgo) y Las Bocas (4% de sesgo) mientras que, el muestreo por distancias fue más preciso en la playa Los Ranchos (32% de sesgo) y Los Ranchos-1 (29% de sesgo). En playas con altas densidades (más de 0,5 ind./m2) se debe seleccionar el método por cuadrantes y en playas con bajas densidades (menos de 0,5 ind./m2) se recomienda el método por distancias.

The study compares two methods (i.e., quadrants and distances) for estimation of population density in O. gaudichaudii. On the beach “Los Ranchos”, 13 transects were established and eight in “Las Bocas”; in addition, a visual census was carried out on each beach. In the analyses Los Ranchos was considered as an area and as two subdivisions (Los Ranchos-1, 2). The results showed that, the sampling by quadrants was more precise in Los Ranchos-2 (6% of bias) and Las Bocas (4% of bias) while, the distance sampling was more accurate in Los Ranchos beach (32% of bias) and Los Ranchos-1 (29% of bias). In beaches with high densities (more than 0,5 ind./m2) the method by quadrants should be selected and on beaches with low densities (less than 0,5 ind./m2) the method by distances is recommended.
Sinonimia y enseñanza del léxico en los manuales de ELE orientados a sinohablantes
Authors: Cheng Mengchao
Published: June 2023

El objetivo del presente trabajo es doble, el primero consiste en analizar el tratamiento que recibe el léxico en los manuales de ELE orientados a sinohablantes; el segundo, en estudiar el papel otorgado a la sinonimia como recurso para la enseñanza del léxico en estos mismos manuales. Para llevar a cabo este análisis, hemos seleccionado cuatro manuales del nivel básico (A1-A2), entre ellos dos son específicamente orientados a los sinohablantes, uno se dirige a todos aprendientes extranjeros, y otro está destinado exclusivamente al aprendizaje del léxico.

El análisis de los manuales citados antes nos ha permitido llegar a dos conclusiones relevantes. En primer lugar, el componente léxico no recibe un tratamiento apropiado en ninguno de los manuales objeto de nuestro estudio, pues todos tienen algunos problemas a resolver, tales como la monotonía a la hora de presentar y definir el léxico, la escasez de actividades comunicativas orientadas a trabajar el léxico, la penuria de estrategias y recursos para el autoaprendizaje, etc. En segundo lugar, apenas utilizan la sinonimia como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza del léxico.

У раду су приказане пројектоване промјене температурa ваздуха и количине падавина у сливу рије- ке Врбас према климатском сценарију RCP8.5. На основу сателитских податaка израђене су мапе за просјечне мјесечне, сезонске и годишње вриједности температуре ваздуха, суме падавина и висине сњежног покривача за три периода: 2011–2040, 2041–2071. и 2071–2100. у односу на базни период 1971–2000. Резултати истраживања показују да се на простору слива ријеке Врбас може очекивати пораст температуре и смањивање сума падавина и сњежног покривача до краја XXI вијека. Повећање температура ваздуха може се очекивати у свим мјесецима то- ком године, али је најизраженије у јануару, августу, новембру и децембру, када повећање може достићи и до 5 °C до краја овог вијека. Очекивано колебање падавина ће бити више изражено. До 2040. може се очекивати повећање падавина за период прољеће за 10 % у односу на период 1971–2000. До краја вијека климатски сценарији указују на константно смањивање падавина и до 20 % на годишњем нивоу, али на велику неравномјерност у расподјели током сезона, што може условити проблеме са сушом и поплавама.
