GEOEDUCATIONAL AND GEOTOURISM VALUES OF AGGREGATE QUARRIES, MISSAN, SOUTHEASTERN IRAQ
Authors: Al Siaede Riaed
Published: January 2021

The geoeducation and geotourism potential capabilities were quantitatively estimated in nine quarries locations in eastern Missan, SE Iraq. A quantitative approach is used to compute the scientific, educational, functional, and touristic categorises values for each quarry. categorised values were weighted for three types of audiences: university students, school pupils, and tourists then, the previous geoscientific studies about quarries areas were searches of different geoscience branches and registered. The results show that geoeducation values are greater than geotourism ones in all quarry sites. All quarries show high weight for the education values while the geotourism values are affected by functional infrastructure in each site. The diversity of scientific values of each site are also studied where the petroleum and hydrological activities increased the geoeducation weight of the specific site and supplied more geological knowledge.
GEOCHEMISTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF HEAVY METALS IN SURFACE SOIL IN AL-HAWIJA, SOUTHWEST KIRKUK
Authors: Al-Obeidi Ahmed
Published: January 2021

Soil pollution adversely affects the safety and health of the human being. The main objective of the study is to determine the concentrations of heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn) in surface soil in Al-Hawija, southwestern Kirkuk. Twenty-one samples were collected and analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to measure the content of heavy metals and assess the soil pollution by using the contamination factor, degree of contamination, geoaccumulation index, pollution load index and ecological risk index (RI). The results indicate that there is high pollution by lead, chromium and copper (78.8, 87.4 and 53.8 mg/kg) respectively, in industrial areas due to anthropogenic sources with the presence of significant ecological risk (Er) of the lead (116) in site S7, due to its high concentrations, while size fraction analysis indicated that all heavy metals are concentrated in the fine parts as a result of adsorption processes by clay minerals.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MICRO SILICA BEHAVIOR AND ITS EFFECT ON IRAQI CEMENT PERFORMANCE BY USING X-RAY FLUORESCENCE ANALYSIS
Authors: Assi Amel
Published: January 2021

The cement slurry is a mixture of cement, water and additives which is established at the surface for injecting inside hole. The compressive strength is considered the most important properties of slurry for testing the slurry reliability and is the ability of slurry to resist deformation and formation fluids. Compressive strength is governed by the sort of raw materials that include additives, cement structure, and exposure circumstances. In this work, we use micro silica like pozzolanic materials. Silica fume is very fine noncrystalline substantial. Silica fume can be utilized like material for supplemental cementations for increasing the compressive strength and durability of cement. Silica fume has very fine particles size less than 1 micron and by an average of about 0.1 microns, about 100 times slighter than particles of cement. We are adding 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% micro silica by wt. of cement. The results showed that adding micro silica enhance the performance of Iraqi cement but also leads to a slight decrease in thickening time. To avoid this problem, super plasticizer is used to make the process of cement pumping more easily, in other words, increase thickening time and increase compressive strength. The experimental work showed that adding micro silica leads to reduce free water and this property is very important through horizontal drilling. X-ray fluorescence technique delivers beneficial elemental information about the chemical structure of Iraqi cement to help us use it without causing damage through the cementing job. In this paper, some outlines of the XRF device and its main applications are presented. By using X-ray fluorescence analysis, we detect the problem of Iraqi cement and solve it in this paper to use it at cementing jobs in the Iraqi field instead of using imported cement.

Published: January 2021

INTRODUCCION: En el manejo de los pacientes portadores de hipertensión arterial, la inercia terapéutica se define como la reticencia de los médicos familiares a optimizar la terapia farmacológica y no lograr los objetivos de control de presión arterial siendo una de las principales causas del descontrol y de aparición de complicaciones cardiovasculares.

OBJETIVO: Conocer la inercia terapéutica del médico familiar en el manejo de pacientes con hipertensión arterial sistémica descontrolada de la Unidad de Medicina Familiar No 77.

METODOS: Se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal y retrospectivo, en pacientes de ambos sexos, de edades entre los 18 y 79 años de edad con hipertensión arterial descontrolada de enero a marzo 2018, donde se evaluaron las características de las determinaciones de presión arterial e intervenciones terapéuticas del médico familiar registradas en el expediente clínico. Se incluyeron las variables edad, género, presión arterial sistólica, diastólica, índice de masa corporal, cambios en el tratamiento, ajuste de medicamentos y años de evolución. La inercia terapéutica se cuantificó como el número de pacientes a los que no se les modificó el tratamiento farmacológico, dividido entre el número de pacientes que no han conseguido el objetivo de control y multiplicado por 100, clasificándola como leve A (<20%), moderada, B (20-50%) y severa C (>50%). Se aplicaron estadísticas descriptivas, medidas de tendencia central y análisis de asociación entre variables cualitativas mediante la prueba de X2. Un valor de p < 0.05 fue considerado como significativo.

 

RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron un total de 150 casos de pacientes con hipertensión arterial descontrolada, el 56% (n=84) fueron femeninos y 44% (n=66) masculinos. La edad cronológica promedio de la población estudiada fue de 61.6 ± 8.6 años. El promedio de IMC fue 28.3 ± 3.7, de sistólica 127 ± 10.1, diastólica 79.3 ± 6.2  y para el tiempo de evolución de la enfermedad 8.5 ± 4.4 años. Los fármacos prescritos fueron diuréticos 28.3%, seguido de los calcio-antagonistas con 19.7%, IECA 18.5%, ARA II 17.3% y en último lugar los beta-bloqueadores 16.2%. En el 77.3% de los casos no presentaron inercia terapéutica y en 34 pacientes (22.7 %) se encontró una inercia terapéutica moderada (>20%) asociada a la falta de cambios en el tratamiento (p <0.001) y con los años de evolución de la presión arterial de p< 0.002.

CONCLUSIONES: La inercia terapéutica encontrada tiene una severidad moderada y es importante la capacitación del médico familiar en las guías de práctica clínica y la supervisión estricta de los pacientes con hipertensión descontrolada.

Authors: Cabrera Marga , Díez-Somavilla Rebeca , Sancho Alberto
Published: January 2021

El congreso internacional Comunica2 sobre redes sociales es un proyecto docente en el que se involucran hasta 60 alumnos de comunicación audiovisual, turismo y ex graduados. La idea principal es que sean ellos mismos los que lideren, programen y ejecuten todo el trabajo de comunicación y difusión del evento, así como la gestión del mismo. La novedad estriba en que es una formación totalmente transversal dado que son los mismos alumnos, apoyados por los técnicos, docentes, ex alumnos y empresas colaboradoras, los que forman a las nuevas generaciones. Los contenidos también son transversales pues aprenden de gestión de eventos, difusión en redes, producción y postproducción, relación con la prensa y de relaciones públicas. Así los antiguos alumnos que están ya en el ámbito laboral (y pueden) regresan unos días a las aulas para trabajar y formar a los más jóvenes que empiezan. La experiencia de siete ediciones nos ha permitido tener un flujo continuo de equipo capaz de formar a nuevos estudiantes. Los resultados son espectaculares pues cada año son más los que se adhieren a la experiencia, todos repiten y están entusiasmados con formar a nuevos en la materia.

Published: January 2021

Introducción: El test de frases incompletas de Sacks y Levy (SSCT) es una prueba diseñada para evaluar  áreas significativas de la adaptación del individuo. En estudios previos, se plantearon diferencias en la expresión emocional de sujetos con síntomas alérgicos, por esto se consideró pertinente aplicar esta prueba a los mismos. Objetivo: evaluar la expresión de conflictividad en pacientes con síntomas actuales o alguna vez de urticaria y rinitis alérgica comparándolo con asintomáticos no alérgicos. Diseño metodológico: 30 voluntarios, asistentes a consultorio de dermatología; 10 (19 - 72 años, 5 mujeres) con URTICARIA (U) y 12 (18 – 80 años, 10 mujeres) con RINITIS y 9 (19 -69 años, 6 mujeres) sin alergia (C) fueron invitados a completar un número de frases incompletas según las siguientes instrucciones: “A continuación figuran sesenta frases parcialmente completas. Lea cada una de ellas y complételas escribiendo lo primero que se le ocurra. Trabaje con la mayor rapidez posible…..”. Esta prueba permite obtener material clínico significativo en diferentes áreas, en esta oportunidad se exploró familia, sexo, relaciones interpersonales y actitud frente a las propias capacidades. Se observó mayor conflictividad (χ2 ≤ 0,05) en las relaciones con la madre en R y con el padre y la familia en U. Estos grupos además mostraron dificultad para interpretar una frase relacionada con sus “debilidades”. En las áreas de relaciones sexuales e interpersonales se observaron tendencias que no alcanzaron significación estadística. El SSCT puede reflejar pensamientos y sentimientos conscientes, preconscientes e inconscientes que permitirían ampliar o completar el cuadro de personalidad obtenido por otras técnicas. Estos resultados sugieren dificultad en el autoconocimiento y confirman observaciones previas que sugieren la presencia de dificultades relacionales en pacientes que manifiestan principalmente síntomas en la piel. Los conflictos apuntan al ámbito de las primeras relaciones aportando así a la teoría de la enfermedad como un sistema de autorregulación complejo con múltiples interacciones sujeto-entorno que se instaura desde el nacimiento. Los factores biológicos, sociales y psicológicos no pueden ser disociados ni en la comprensión de la causalidad ni en el abordaje terapéutico de estas patologías a las cuales tradicionalmente la medicina le adjudica etiología hereditaria.
Water management problems related major reservoirs and irrigation systems in Polonnaruwa District, Sri lanka
Authors: Piyadasa Ranjana U K , S.R.Achala.S. Senarathne
Published: January 2021

Water is a scarce resource in the dry zone of Sri Lanka and it is a major problem faced by the cultivators in the area. Since their cultivations totally depend on irrigation water every possible effort should be put in order to optimize the water usage to achieve increased crop production. Recent reports on water management activities of several irrigation schemes in the Dry Zone indicates, that the water distribution is not meeting the demands of farmers in terms of adequacy, reliability and timelines. Further it was said that there is considerable potential to increase paddy field in this system through improved irrigation water management, especially by efficient irrigation scheduling. The study intends to find out the annual statement of reservoir replenishment and behaviour is monthly analysed about reservoirs condition by Irrigation Department and recorded below data to statements for the water – year ending the month by month in orderly. It includes rainfall on catchment, area irrigated, water area, yield from catchment, issues from sluices, discharge over spills, change in reservoir storage, vapour-seepage loss, reservoir storage, depth at lowest sluice. And also this study identified above conditions and water management problems related ParakramaSamudraya, Giritale, Minneriya and Kaudulla major reservoirs in Polonnaruwa District.  The greater part of the irrigated rice area is in the dry zone and the water availability there is less than that in others areas. Additionally, competition from domestic and industrial sectors will also increase.  Therefore, water scarcities in the dry zone will have a severe impact on meeting the additional food requirements of the increasing population. In this respect, it is of vital importance to understand the regional scarcities of water and their impact on future food production.
Ma’had Al-Zaytun Artikulasi Ke-Islaman Dan Ke-Indonesiaan Di Pendidikan Pesantren
Authors: Nugroho Taufik
Published: January 2021

The research aims to reveal Ma’had Al-Zaytun as an Islamic educational institution in the aspects of ideology, direction and goals of education. The importance of this research is because a growing issue in society says that Ma’had Al-Zaytun carries a hidden agenda of "building the Islamic State of Indonesia in the long term". This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods: observation, participation and interviews. The results of this study are as follows: there has been a change in the social basis during the years 1970-1990. The change in the social basis is a change in the generation of the senior Indonesian Islamic State bearers with the pressure of the struggle for structural Islamic ideology to the new generation which emphasizes on the inclusive substantive Islamic struggle. The choice of the new generation's model of struggle is Ma’had Al-Zaytun. This is an articulation of Islam and Indonesiannes that makes Islam a spreader of peace, not a spreader of threats.

Published: January 2021

The article presents the studies carried out in 2017 and 2018 in the central zone of the Krasnodar Territory on the basis of the Agrotechnological Department of the FSBSI «National Center for Grain named after P.P. Lukyanenko». The purpose of the research was to study the dose and frequency of application of mineral fertilizers with a complex of NanoSilicon microelements, stimulating growth and development of corn and, ultimately, its yield and quality of the obtained products. Two year studies revealed the effectiveness of the positive effect of the studied drug on grain corn in all studied options. It was noted that at low or high doses of its application, a number of indicators that determine the structure of the crop and, ultimately, yield, decreased. It was found that foliar treatments increased the growing season of corn for a day. The introduction of the preparation promoted the formation of taller plants, the height of which varied from 201,3 to 212,4 cm, while in the control it was 184 cm (milk ripeness phase). In the same phase the plants had a large biological weight, which in the control was 1010,1 g/plant, and when the preparation was applied, it was 90,2–275,5 g/plant higher. Ultimately, mineral fertilization with the NanoSilicon microelement in all studied dosages had a positive effect on the corn yield, the maximum value, which was obtained when it was applied at doses of 40/75/75 (seed treatment with NanoSilicon with a rate of 40 g/ha + application by seedlings at a dose of 75 g/ha + in the phase of 7–8 leaves 75 g/ha) and 40/100/100 (seed treatment – 40 g/ha + seedlings – 100 g/ha + in the phase of 7–8 leaves – 100 g/ha), which amounted to 59,9 and 59,8 c/ha, respectively.

Published: January 2021

There are numerous diseases which cause infection in the human beings, it may get cured with medication or without the medication and some of them are become fatal. There are some diseases which get cured completely but leaves behind some damage in human, like polio. This damage not cause physically but also cause mental trauma to children. So, it is better to prevent the disease before manifestation, for that immunization is the best way to prevent and protect from disease by giving medication like a vaccine. Large populations of parents are not aware of the benefits of the immunization. Awareness regarding the vaccination among a small town population is less. The aim by this Survey is parents' awareness of children immunization as per Universal immunization program (UIP). For survey, conducted the cross-sectional observational questionnaire-based community survey in the Yelikeli village of Wardha district, where the assessment of the children immunizations should do up to the age of 5 years. In 94% population of parents are known about the vaccination, which has to be given to their children of age between 1-4 years. Around 82% of parents get information regarding immunization by Anganwadi sevika. The survey concludes that the government immunization coverage reached to the small village.  Most effective mode to provide information about the vaccination program was door to door advertisement which reduces the chances of missing doses of vaccination and because of that parent is well aware of the UIP schedule. The vaccine is enough sufficient to avert severe disease.

Authors: Bhatbhage Balika Jotiram , Asutkar Sheetal , Badwe Yogesh
Published: January 2021

Chronic non healing wounds represent a significant public health problem. A wound may be acute or chronic; the later could be defined as a wound that is not continuously progressing towards healing, which can be correlated with Dushtavrana. Various therapies are potentially conducive to wound healing, and according to T.I.M.E. principle of wound healing; E stands for edges of wound which is undermined due to chronicity and infection, corrected by debridement and Leech therapy is biological debridement therapy. It is a para-surgical procedure which serves debridement of the wounds by the blood sucking and oozing phenomenon. Jalaukavacharana possesses high efficacy in both Vrana Shodhana and Ropana, hence can be used for management of Dushta Vrana. Jalaukavacharana being a bio-purificatory method removes deep seated toxins, clearing Srotasa and pacifying vitiated Doṣha. Salivary gland secretions of leech have multiple actions like analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial which serve the purpose of wound healing. Keeping in mind, all the fundamentals & surgical applications of Leech therapy, a pilot study of 15 patients with chronic non healing wound was conducted. Observations were recorded on alternate days for 15 days. Within treatment analysis of the Chronic Non Healing Wound showed that T.I.M.E. principle reflected significant healing of wound after 7 days of leech therapy & supplementary protocol. The results of this pilot study in management of Chronic Non-Healing wound (Dushta Vrana) by Leech therapy (Jalauakavacharana) highlights the wound healing effects significantly.

Plants comprising bioactive substances with therapeutic value have progressively become the object of research studies. Many species of the genus Alpinia provide a variety of medicinal properties. This study was undertaken to study the biological activities and physicochemical properties of rhizomes and leaves of six Alpinia species available in Sri Lanka namely, Alpinia malaccensis, Alpinia calcarata, Alpinia galanga, Alpinia nigra, Alpinia calcarata Wild and Alpinia purpurata. Physicochemical parameters will be helpful in standardization for quality, purity and authentication of these medicinal plants. Methanol extracts from rhizomes and leaves were screened for total polyphenol content (TPC), antioxidant activity and α-amylase inhibition activities. Extracted powders were analysed for physicochemical constants such as loss on drying, total ash, acid -insoluble ash and water-soluble ash contents. The TPC of dried leaves of Alpinia calcarata Wild was the highest of all tested as 2.186±0.027 g of GA equivalents per 1 g of dried rhizome. The Methanol extracts of the rhizome and leaf samples of six species showed reasonable antioxidant activity in the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Interestingly the rhizome extracts of Alpinia nigra and Alpinia purpurata exhibited higher α-amylase inhibitory activities (29.417±0.507 and 29.676 ± 0.107 µg/mL respectively) compared with the Acarbose, which is an anti-diabetic drug (28.273 ± 0.615 µg/mL). The results revealed that the Sri Lankan Alpinia species have a potency to be used as a source of antioxidant and anti-diabetic agents and it is important to increase the value of the unexplored medicinal herbs available in Sri Lanka.

Introduction: Infertility, which is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of intercourse without the use of contraceptive methods, affects 15% of couples. 30-40% of the causes of male infertility are related to sperm disorders. The most common cause of infertility in men is their inability to produce enough healthy, active and active sperm, so the aim of this study was to determine the effect of ashwagandha powder on men with semen disorders. Materials and Methods: This study is a double-blind, clinical, randomized trial. Subjects were entered the study after obtaining informed consent and having inclusion and exclusion criteria. All subjects were clinically examined by a urologist. Blood and urine tests were also performed to ensure the health status of the individuals. Subjects did not take any PDE-V inhibitors or glucocorticoids, chemical, herbal and hormonal drugs for infertility treatment in the 4 weeks before the start of the study and until the end of the study. Finally, demographic information was obtained from all individuals and statistical calculations were performed using the statistical software SPSS. Results: In general, our results showed that the consumption of ashwagandha powder in the first experimental group was 41.3 ± 16.66% in the pre-test stage, 46.53±13.42% in the post-test stage and 45.5%±11.99% in the follow-up stage. These values were 41.23 ±19.85% in the placebo group of the pre-test stage, 41.0%±19.15 in the post-test stage and  40.37±19.41 % in the follow-up stage. This indicates that ashwagandha increased semen performance scores and sperm motility in different stages of the test compared to the second experimental group. Conclusion: The use of medicinal plants with male fertility enhancement properties can be used as a substitute or supplement for chemical drugs that affect male fertility. On the other hand, it is recommended that chemical drugs with fertility-reducing properties be less used or not used in men with infertility disorders.

This research aims to know and explain the application of the principles of good governance, namely the principles of transparency and participation and the constraints of applying the principles of transparency and participation in public services. The research method used is empirical research method, to achieve this goal, so this research uses data collection techniques through interviews, observations, document studies, and documentation. While the data sources used are primary and secondary data sources. The approach of this research is conceptual approach that is moving from the views or doctrines that develop in the science of law and the approach of the Law, namely the approach carried out by edilah regulation related to legal issues that are being studied. The results revealed that the principle of transparency has not run optimally because the SOP has not been informed to the public, the principle of participation has not run optimally because the management of complaints has not been good. Therefore, in the context of public services that are a very strategic part in measuring good governance needs to be optimized by providing SOP information on information boards, websites, brochures, opening complaints through social media or working with village officials, head of Cluster Area to directly socialize public service procedures and policies to the community.

As one of probiotic bacteria, Bifidobacterium is supplement in food industry such as in milk and yogurt. The advantageous impact of these bacteria for human health was reported. However, in Vietnam, supplement of these bacteria as probiotic source to the food was not much in food industry. In our experiment, Bifidobacterium are isolated from a feces sample of 7 days-child which only had mother milk. The bacterial isolated from infant intestinal tract was Bifidobacterium infantis (B. infantis, closest to Bifidobacterium longum ssp. infantis strain Bi-26 with gene bank accession CP054425.1). The techniques to identify these bacteria were MALDI Biotyper, PCR and sequencing. This experiment is original for further study the characters of these bacteria to apply them in our daily life.
EARM: An Efficient and Adaptive File Replication with Consistency Maintenance in P2P Systems
Authors: Chaitanya K. V. K. , Vasundra S.
Published: January 2021

In p2p systems, file replication and replica consistency maintenance are most widely used techniques for better system performance. Most of the file replication methods replicates file in all nodes or at two ends in a clientserver query path or close to the server, leading to low replica utilization, produces unnecessary replicas and hence extra consistency maintenance overhead. Most of the consistency maintenance methods depends on either message spreading or structure based for update message propagation without considering file replication dynamism, leading to inefficient file update and outdated file response. These paper presents an Efficient and Adaptive file Replication and consistency Maintenance (EARM) that combines file replication and consistency maintenance mechanism that achieves higher query efficiency in file replication and consistency maintenance at a low cost. Instead of accepting passively file replicas and updates, each node determines file replication and update polling by adapting to time-varying file query and update rates. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of EARM in comparison with other approaches.
Determination of Characteristic Frequency for Identification of Hot Spots in Proteins
Authors: Yadav Yashpal , Wadhwani Sulochana
Published: January 2021

Identification of hot spots or protein-target binding sites in proteins using resonant recognition model requires the knowledge of characteristic frequency. For a successful protein target interaction, both the protein and the target signals must share the same characteristic frequency. The common characteristic frequency of a functional group of proteins is determined from the consensus spectrum obtained using DFT. In this work an alternative approach for identification of characteristic frequency using power spectral density is described. The performance of the proposed method is observed to be better than the DFT-based approach and is illustrated using simulation examples.
