Authors: Tuleab Alaaraji Shakir F 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Hepatitis B is a possibly life-threatening liver contagion produced by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a main worldwide health issue. It can cause chronic contagion & puts societies at great danger of death from cirrhosis & liver malignancy. The goal of the current research was to measure four important parameters in cases with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) (the amount of IL-17, IL-37, IL-38 & vitamin E). These factors were surveyed in CHB patients to compare with healthy controls & study the association among these markers with other parameters in the study. Population consists of 40 patients diagnosed with CHB & a healthy controls (HC) group of 39 person. IL-17, IL-37, IL-38 & vitamin E levels were assessed in all subjects by using available ELISA kits from Mybiosource company; USA. serum concentrations of IL-17 & IL-37 were importantly greater in HBV group compared to control group, while serum levels of IL-38 & vitamin E were importantly lesser in CHB cases compared to HC also vitamin E showed weakly negative correlation with IL-17 & weakly positive correlation with IL-37 & IL-38. The study recommends that IL-17 & IL-37 levels may be a useful indicator to identification HBV in primary phases so that we should monitor these markers concentrations in blood of constantly to sustain their health.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
Three ligands were prepared, spectroscopic method and elemental analysis verified their structures. The L1 and L2 ligands are flavylium salts while the third one L3 is a Flavon. The reactions between transition metal salts and the ligands have synthesized two groups of new metal complexes, one group contains L1, L3 coordinated with the metal ion. The other group contains L2, L3 and the metal. These complexes have been identified by available spectroscopic tools (UV-Visible and IR), the C.H.N results confirmed the proposed structures. The experimental data disclosed that the complexes were coordinated by 6the coordinate with mono-and bidentate ligands forming octahedral structure, in which L3 acts as monodentate and L1, L2 as bidentate ligands. The metal linked with L1 and L2 through the oxygen in ortho position in ring B, were the linkage of the metal with L3 takes place through the oxygen of the carbonyl group.

Abstract
This study is conducted to investigate the validity of using different levels of Rustumiya sewage water for irrigation and their effects on corn growth and some of the chemical properties of the soil such as electrical conductivity and soil pH in extract soil paste, the micro nutrient content in soil and plant which are (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb ). Three levels of sewage water (0, 50, 100)% in two stages were used, the three levels of wastewater (without soil fertilization ) were used in the first stage, Where 320 Kg N/ha+200 Kg P2O5/ha was added to the soil as fertilizer in the control (0%) treatment and 160 Kg N/ha+100Kg P2O5/ha were added to 50 and 100% levels in the second stage. Corn seeds were planted in10 kg plastic pots in Completely Randomized Block Design in three replicates. The results show a high significant increase in plant height, fresh and dry weight for all treatments in comparison with control treatment. The low added level of sewage water in both stages gave a significant increase of plant height and fresh and dry weight. The results showed a high increased of electrical conductivity for 50, 100% wastewater added levels for both stages compared with control treatment, The high added level 100% gave high significant increase in electrical conductivity compared with the low level of the sewage water. Whereas the values of soil pH were close to the neutral for all treatment. The results showed a significant increase in micro nutrients content (which include Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb) in soil and plant for all treatments compared with control treatment. This increase was continued with the increase of additional level of sewage water. However all the micro nutrient were within the allowable natural limits and not reached the toxic limits in soil and plant.

The azo ligand was identified by: Mass, 1H-NMR, C13NMR,UV-Vis. and IR spectra, in addition to elemental analysis measurement. The chelate complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, Molar conductance, UV-Vis. and IR spectra. The geometry of metal complexes were proposed based on analytical and spectral data. Analytical data revealed that all the complexes exhibited 1:2 metal–ligand ratio. On the basis of magnetic susceptibility measurements, suitable geometry was proposed for each complex. IR spectra of complexes show that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in bidentate manner with Oxygen and Nitrogen donor sites of hydroxynaphthalene (OH) and azo Nitrogen, which suggest octahedral geometry for all complexes. Also, biological evaluation of all synthesized compound shows moderate to good activity against Candida albicans, as antifungal.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
PolyHIPEs (polymers synthesized within high internal phase emulsions) are porous materials with high specific surface area which suggests their use in ion exchange applications. We have successfully synthesized and functionalized such materials to make then hydrophilic by mixing an oil phase and an aqueous phase containing deionized water and sulphuric acid. The PolyHIPE samples were also subjected to a further microwave-assisted post-sulphonation process to increase hydrophilicity and water uptake. Post sulphonation results in a higher concentration of benzenesulphonic acid groups which are necessary for ion exchange. PolyHIPE beads processed in this manner were able to remove low concentrations (∼20mg/l) of nickel and copper ions from solution with high removal efficiency (80-95%) depending on the initial pH of the water. However, recovery of the metal through regeneration at different pH levels was less successful.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The heavy metals mainly include Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, Ag, etc. The heavy metals,Pb,Cu,Zn are considered most toxic to humans, fishes and environment. highly concentrations of heavy metals are harmful They destabilize ecosystems because of their bioaccumulation in organisms, and toxic effects on biota and even death in most living beings. All heavy metals, in spite some of them are essential micronutrients, have their toxic effects on living organisms via metabolic interference and mutagenesis. The bioaccumulation of toxic metals can happen in the body and food chain. So, the toxic metals generally exhibit chronic toxicity. The heavy metals like Pb has significant toxic effects-The heavy metals are important pollutants for fishes, because these are not eliminated from aquatic systems by natural methods, such as organic pollutants, and are enriched in mineral organic substances. happen of heavy metals differs in fishes, depending on their age, development and other physiological factors. the fishes are apopulation which can be highly affected by these toxic pollutants. Heavy metals can have toxic effects on different organ-They can enter into the water by drainage, atmosphere, soil erosion, and all human activities in different ways. As the heavy metals concentrated more in the environment, they enter biogeochemical cycle, leading to toxicity.
