Authors: Azal Hani Zeidan Res. , Hashim Aliwy Mohammed Alhusseini Prof. Dr. 
Published: November 2024

The notion of Hijab is rooted in Quran, the Holy book in the Islamic teaching, where it emphasizes the importance of modesty. One of the key verses often cited is in Holly Quran, which instructs Muslim women to draw their veils over their heads. Therefore, this study aims to explore the textual features of Hijab in religious discourses by examining the ideologies found in religious verses. By employing critical discourse analysis, the research investigates the representation of the Hijab across two selected verses from the Holy Quran. By utilizing Fairclough's three-dimensional framework (2001) and qualitative methods, the analysis reveals nuanced expressions of the Hijab within religious verses. The study discerns that religious verses employ carefully chosen words to underscore the significance of wearing the Hijab. The usage of second and third possessive pronouns in the text indicates that wearing Hijab is an obligation for all women. It also concludes that the religious verses describe the Hijab positively by using positive expression. As for the ideological analysis, it reveals different aspects of life, including religious, juristic, moral and social matters that is used to regulate life.

Authors: Faten Khalid AbdulBaqi Associate Prof. Dr. 
Published: November 2024

The study aims to determine the potentiality of investing the solar radiation in Duhok‎ province’s southern and southeastern mountains, and its use in developing tourism ‎projects. It also aims to set an investment plan for the solar radiation received by the solar ‎panels to produce the electrical energy that meets the needs of the tourism areas. The selected ‎study area contained samples of solar cells, which were installed to identify the amount of ‎radiation recorded as 19.06 kW/h/day/panel, and in turn generates 3.0 kW/h/day ‎of electrical energy. By utilizing some technologies and simulation methods, an‎ area of approximately 29 km length and 1 km width within the same mountain series was‎ suggested to be used to establish 1,000,000 panels with special specifications. This will provide approximately 87,000 Mega W/h/day of electrical power that will satisfy ‎the area needs of electricity. Such a procedure will work to enhance the development of tourism areas ‎and provide the electricity required for hotels, resorts, restaurants, health spas and other ‎facilities in the area. As a result, this will reduce the load on the governmental electricity ‎network, and will make this project leading one in the field of national ‎development and sustainability.

Background: Parasitism is an abiotic stress that significantly threatens plant growth and severely impacts crop productivity. Plants have developed complicated regulatory mechanisms to cope with stressful conditions, undergoing morphological and biochemical changes.
Objective: The article presents the first comprehensive analysis of the Medicago sativa response to the penetration of flowering parasites Orobanche lutea and Cuscuta alba. The outcome of this study aim to enhance crop quality comprehend their bioactive properties and pinpoint optimal strategies for their utilization in preventing and treating human and animal health issues.
Methods: Medicago sativa, Orobanche lutea and Cuscuta alba were collected in the Ararat province, located in southeastern Armenia. The plants’ morphological structures and leaf parameters were observed. The prooxidant activity was determined by the potentiometric method. The content of total phenols, flavonoids and catechins were determined by a spectrophotometric method. Pigments were separated and identified using thin layer chromatography and a spectrophotometric method.
Results: The in-situ observations of M. sativa plant and ex-situ measurements of its leaves infected by O. lutea and C. alba reveal a significant negative impact on both the reproductive success and the vegetative aspects. Infected plants exhibited minimal inflorescence development, also, substantial reductions in leaf dimensions were observed. The analysis of prooxidant activity revealed that M. sativa exhibits inherent prooxidant properties, which are amplified in the presence of parasites. The influence of dodder on prooxidant activity is much more significant (14-38%) than that of broomrape (8-42%). The percentage changes in total phenolic content were more pronounced in the presence of C. alba, but flavonoid decline was more pronounced in the presence of O. lutea, suggesting a differential impact of the two parasites. Although catechin content was not affected, photosynthetic pigments of the host plant were significantly (28-57%) reduced by the parasites.
Conclusion: Findings indicate a clear morphological alteration induced by parasitic infestation. The parasites, particularly O. lutea can cause temporal isolation and allochronic speciation in M. sativa populations. Biochemical analysis highlighted a complex interplay between the host and the parasite. The biochemical impact of the parasite is reflected on the host’s primary and secondary metabolism. The observed morphological and biochemical changes highlight the need for further research to explore potential mitigation strategies, selective herbicide development, and biocontrol measures against parasitic plant infestations in agricultural ecosystems.

Authors: Salunke Dipmala , Joshi Gayatri , Inamdar Sneha , Kulkarni Manasi 
Published: November 2024

Osteoporosis is an ailment associated with the bones, in which the bone resorption takes place at a much faster pace as compared to the formation of bones, eventually leading to the deterioration of bone mineral density (BMD). Ultimately, it adversely affects the strength of bones. To determine different diseases, deep learning is used in almost every sector of healthcare. In the context of Osteoporosis, there are numerous machine learning technologies that have been utilized for early detection of the disease. Certainly, these techniques provided great accuracy, but their scope of study was limited exclusively to individual factors. This paper proposes a model which studies multiple aspects leading to the early prognosis of disease, thus increasing the reliability. The aspects are Bone Density Measure, the X-rays of affected bone, lifestyle of the patient which may include medical history if any, fracture status and the specific bone. The dataset used for the research contains 2000 X-rays in total and 500 BMD reports of 500 distinct patients. in Logistic regression is used for the BMD based classification, where the accuracy achieved is 98.66%, with a recall of 97%, precision of 100% and f1-score of 98% for osteoporotic category. The VGG16 model used for the classification based on image dataset achieves the accuracy of 97.19% which is acceptable comparative to existing methods.
Hepatic tumor ablation using electric current and bioheat transfer model: a 3D numerical analysis
Authors: Nasrin Rehena , Sawmpa Saima 
Published: November 2024

A three-dimensional thermal-electric including a four-tiny radiofrequency probe, hepatic tissue, and an integrated model of a large blood vessel are investigated numerically. The FEM is employed in the determination of the distribution of tissue temperature during radiofrequency hepatic tumor ablation through the heated targeted cells that are supposed to kill and the healthy surrounding tissues are supposed to save. The mathematical reproduction is led for various times from 0 s to 1000 s and electric voltage from 22 V to 50 V with good convergence of the iterative scheme. In terms of temperature fields at different times, iso-surfaces with temperatures of 50°C at various times, iso-surfaces at different temperatures, and the temperature distribution over time are displayed graphically. Temperature distribution against time at the tip of one of the electrodes arms at a fixed voltage and various voltages are also demonstrated. Results from the RF simulation specify that temperature increases due to increasing time of ablation of tumor and electric voltage. The tumor cell is killed approximately at 50°C with 22 V after 480 s heating. The proposed model may be a new tool for physicians for the efficient thermal insulation of tumors without any significant damage in healthy tissues.

IntroductionWhile numerous studies have established associations between brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cognitive functioning, limited research has delved into the role of BDNF concerning cognitive outcomes in atherosclerosis-related conditions. This study aimed to investigate the correlations between cognitive performance, serum BDNF levels, and the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism in individuals diagnosed with chronic limb ischemia (CLI).Participants and procedureThe study encompassed 159 CLI patients (52 females, 107 males) aged 59-73 years. Genetic analysis involved assessing the BDNF Val66Met single-nucleotide polymorphism using a TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assay and the ViiA™ 7 Real-Time PCR System. Serum BDNF levels were quantified. Cognitive functioning was evaluated through a computerized battery of tests, including the simple reaction test (SRT) for speed and accuracy assessment, verbal memory test (VMT) for short and long-term memory evaluation, and the GoNoGo test for cognitive control and inhibition.ResultsGender differences in cognitive performance were observed, with women excelling in VMT, while men demonstrated superior performance in SRT and the GoNoGo test. No statistically significant differences were noted between the Met/Met or Met/Val and Val/Val subgroups. However, notable differences emerged in female Met carriers, exhibiting superior VMT scores but more incorrect Go responses in the GoNoGo test. Conversely, female Val homozygotes showed significantly more incorrect NoGo responses compared to male Val homozygotes. In men carrying the Met allele, higher BDNF concentrations correlated with improved GoNoGo test results (r = 0.248, p = 0.01). Conversely, in women with the Val/Val variant, lower BDNF concentrations were associated with better VMT scores.ConclusionsThis study underscores the sex-specific impact of BDNF serum levels and the BDNF polymorphism on cognitive processes among CLI patients. The findings highlight the nuanced influence of BDNF in shaping cognitive functioning, emphasizing the need for further research into these sex-dependent associations.

BackgroundTumor-associated tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are functional immune-responsive aggregates, which have been reported to be associated with better prognosis in various tumors. However, their exact characteristics and prognostic value in extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) remain unknown.ObjectiveTo explore the features of TLSs in EMPD and their association with clinicopathological characteristics.MethodsIn total, 171 EMPD patients from 2015 to 2023, retrospective, single center cohort were collected to assess the presence, maturation status, and location of TLSs by immunohistochemistry. Then, their clinicopathologic association and prognostic significance were further examined.ResultsTLSs were detected in 97 cases (57%) of 171 EMPD patients, including high-density TLSs in 88 cases (91%), peritumoral TLSs (pTLSs) in 89 cases (92%), TLSs around appendages (aTLSs) in 23 cases (24%), and mature TLSs in 16 cases (16%). Secondary EMPD was more likely to produce TLS (Secondary: 16/21 [76%]; Primary: 81/150 [54%]; P = 0.06), and more likely to produce Mature TLS (Secondary: 5/10 [50%]; Primary: 11/80 [14%]; P = 0.02). The subjective symptoms of EMPD patients did not seem to correlate with the presence of TLS. EMPD patients with tumor invasion were more likely to form mature TLS (Invasion: 8/32 [25%]; In situ: 8/65 [12%]; P = 0.06), recurrent EMPD patients were more likely to form TLS (Recurrent: 34/50 [68%]; Initial: 63/121 [52%]; P = 0.06) especially mature TLS (Recurrent: 8/34 [24%]; Initial: 8/63 [13%]; P = 0.04). The depth of tumor invasion in EMPD patients with mature TLS was mostly less than or equal to 4mm (mature TLS+: 7/8 [88%]; TLS-: 6/17 [35%]; P = 0.05), aTLS were less common in EMPD patients with skin appendage invasion (aTLS+: 4/23 [17%]; aTLS-: 32/74 [43%]; P = 0.03). The same EMPD patients relapse after, the existence of TLS increased [TLS+ (initial): 9/17 (53%); TLS+ (recurrence):14/17 (82%); P =.07].LimitationsRetrospective study design.ConclusionsMature TLS is a positive prognostic factor for invasive EMPD and may serve as a new biomarker and therapeutic target for EMPD.

ObjectiveTo explore any correlation between serum urate (SU) level or insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).MethodsData from all MASLD patients, diagnosed by liver biopsy, were enrolled and divided into MASLD alone group and MASLD with MS group. They were subdivided into hyperuricemia group and normal SU group to find correlation between SU/IR and MASLD in patients with MS and independent risk factors for MASLD.ResultsData from 539 MASLD patients were analyzed. Body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.000), waist circumference (WC) (p = 0.004), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) (p = 0.000) were dramatically higher in MASLD with MS group than those with MASLD alone; MASLD with MS patients had significantly more family history of diabetes (p = 0.000) and hypertension (p = 0.000) than patients with MASLD alone. Height (p = 0.000), weight (p = 0.000), BMI (p = 0.000) and WC (p = 0.001), and LDL (p = 0.007) were dramatically higher in hyperuricemia patients than those with normal SU. SU was inversely associated with age (p = 0.000) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) (p = 0.003), and positively correlated with weight (p = 0.000), BMI (p = 0.000) and WC (p = 0.000), TG (p = 0.000), and LDL (p = 0.000). Logistic Regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.031), TG (p = 0.002), LDL (p = 0.010), HbA1c (p = 0.026), and family history of hypertension (p = 0.000) may be independent risk factors for MASLD in patient with MS.ConclusionInsulin resistance (IR) in MASLD patients with MS, but not higher SU levels, has closer correlation with the occurrence of MASLD in patients with family history of hypertension and diabetes having higher BMI, LDL, HbA1c.

ObjectivesThe primary objective of this study is to analyze the clinical manifestations, diagnostic procedures, and outcomes of patients with pathologically confirmed constrictive pericarditis who presented with bilateral pleural effusions. We aim to outline a stepwise diagnostic approach that could assist clinicians in identifying CP in similar cases.MethodsIn this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 19 cases of pathologically confirmed constrictive pericarditis. These patients were admitted to our hospital between January 2019 and December 2022 after pericardial stripping. The collected data included imaging findings, clinical manifestations, pleural effusion characteristics, postoperative pathology, and the diagnostic process.ResultsIn this study, the age of the 19 patients ranged from 25 to 74 years, with a median age of 59 years. All patients presented with bilateral pleural effusions, with or without pericardial lesions such as pericardial effusion or thickening. Pleural effusion biochemistry did not exhibit specific characteristics, and both etiology and pleural pathology were negative. Radiographic examinations, including cardiac ultrasound and chest CT, revealed signs of pericardial thickening and/or pericardial effusion or no abnormalities. Pericardial stripping was performed in all patients, and the postoperative pathology confirmed various degrees of thickened pericarditis, consistent with constrictive pericarditis. During a follow-up period of 6–18 months, most patients (17 out of 19) showed favorable recovery with no recurrence of bilateral pleural effusions.ConclusionThis study emphasizes the importance of pleural effusion as a clinical sign of constrictive pericarditis and highlights that a stepwise diagnostic approach, guided by clinical presentation and imaging, can enhance its recognition, particularly in cases with bilateral pleural effusions.
Mycosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from endophytic Aspergillus parasiticus and their antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in vivo

Published: November 2024

BackgroundMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a drug-resistant and biofilm-forming pathogenic bacteria with severe morbidity and mortality. MRSA showed resistance against currently available antibiotics. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop novel effective treatments with minimal side effects to eliminate MRSA.AimIn this study, we aimed to mycosynthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the endophytic fungus Aspergillus parasiticus isolated from leaves of Reseda Arabica and to examine their antibacterial activity against MRSA.ResultsScreening of fungal secondary metabolites using gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) analysis revealed the presence of high content of bioactive compounds with antibacterial activities. AP-AgNPs were mycosynthesized for the first time using ethyl acetate extract of A. parasiticus and characterized by imaging (transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–Vis spectroscopy, zeta potential, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)). The agar well diffusion method revealed the antibacterial activity of AP-AgNPs against MRSA with 25 μg/mL of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). AP-AgNPs were shown to exert antibacterial action via a bactericidal mechanism based on flow cytometry, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy assessment. Our data demonstrated the effective interaction of AP-AgNPs with the bacterial cell membrane, which resulted in cell membrane damage and disruption of cell surface structure. Furthermore, AP-AgNPs successfully prevented the development of MRSA biofilms by disturbing cell adhesion and destructing mature biofilm reaching over 80% clearance rate. Interestingly, topical application of AP-AgNPs to superficial skin infection induced by MRSA in mice effectively promoted wound healing and suppressed bacterial burden.ConclusionOur results provide a novel green nanoparticle drug design with effective therapeutic potential against MRSA-induced skin infection.
