Study of Some Hormonal and Biochemical Parameters among Patients with Chronic Liver Diseases
Authors: Fingan Buraq Abdualameer , Al-Warid Harith Saeed , Al-Sultan Hayder Jamal 
Published: October 2024

It has been revealed previously that chronic liver disease (CLD) may be associated to hormonal fluctuations. The current study, therefore, aimed to evaluate some hormones in CLD patients compared with non-CLD individuals. This case control study was conducted at Gastroenterology and Hepatology Teaching Hospital, Medical city, Baghdad, Iraq during December 2021 to May 2022. One hundred and twenty male patients with CLD (age:14-75 years) and 120 control males (age: 24-70 years) were involved in this study. Serum samples were taken from all individuals and were then analysed for many tests which included hormones (Cortisol, testosterone, prolactin, insulin and thyroid stimulating hormone TSH); biochemical analysis (Prothrombin time PT, international normalized ratio INR and albumin); liver enzymes (aspartate aminotransferase AST, alanine aminotransferase ALT, alkaline phosphatase ALP and gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT)) and interleukins (Interleukin 13 IL-13 and transforming growth factor TGF). Some hormones such as cortisol, prolactin and insulin significantly increased in CLD patients while other hormones (testosterone and TSH) significantly decreased in CLD patients compared with the controls. Results also showed significant increase in liver enzymes among CLD patients. These changes in the hormones and liver enzymes levels may be related with significant increase in INR and albumin which were significantly higher in CLD patients than in the control group. Finally, IL-13 increased significantly in CLD patients while no significant differences were noticed between CLD and control regarding TGF levels. It can, therefore, be concluded that hormonal imbalance can affect people with liver conditions. and that this hormonal imbalance may be associated with high levels of liver enzymes.
Pure Rickart Modules
Authors: Sabti Hassan , Hamad Bahar 
Published: October 2024

This paper focuses on the study of pure Rickart modules (or PR-modules for short), which are a class of modules over a commutative ring with identity. The main objective is to investigate the properties and characterizations of these modules, as well as their relationship with other classes of modules such as free, projective, and flat modules. This paper also explores the connections between PR-modules and various algebraic structures such as rings. The results obtained in this study provide a deeper understanding of the structure and behavior of PR-modules, which can have important applications in algebraic geometry, representation theory, and other areas of mathematics. Some results about PR-module have been investigated in this paper, for example we demonstrate a module is PR-module if and only if for every , is pure submodule of (or for short). Also, some kind of generalization of these rings have been constructed and demonstrated in term of PR-modules.
Anticancer, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Cr (III) and Rh(III) Complexes Derived from A New Mannich Base
Authors: Ahmed Alya'a J. , Alias Mahasin F. 
Published: October 2024

The Mannich base ligand was synthesized in an ethanol medium through a condensation reaction of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and ciprofloxacin at room temperature. Subsequently, several metal complexes of this ligand were prepared. To characterize both the base ligand and the metal complexes, various techniques were employed, including elemental analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, molar conductivity measurements, magnetic moment determination, and melting point analysis. The results were shown that the metal complexes formed have the formula [Cr(L)2Cl2] Cl.H2O and [Rh(L)2(H2O)2] Cl3.H2O, where L= mannich base ligand. Based on spectroscopic analytical, coordination with metal ions involves the 'N' donor atom of mannich base and 'N' atom of piprizaing ring, and two complexes are A six-coordinated octahedral structure is suggested. Molar conductivity of these complexes showed that they were electrolytic in nature. In this study, the anticancer and antioxidant potential of the Mannich base ligand and its metal complexes were investigated against MDA-MB-231 cell lines and using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. Moreover, the in vitro efficacy of the ligand and its complexes against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), as well as the fungal strain Candida albicans, was evaluated using the disc diffusion method. The results indicated that Cr (III) and Rh(III) complexes demonstrated the highest levels of cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cell lines, enhances antioxidant and antimicrobial activity more than the free ligand. These findings suggest that these metal complexes may have promising applications in the development of novel anticancer, antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.
An approach of Finding Second Derivative Finite Differences Compact Schemes
Authors: Al-Dujaly Hassan Abd Salman 
Published: October 2024

In solving problems from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and physics, huge efforts should be afforded to obtain accurate and applicable schemes for the derivatives. Based on the idea of high order polynomials, many sets of second derivative schemes are derived in this paper. These sets are grouped according to the order of the accuracy of the approximations from order three to order seven. Different types of second derivative forward, central, and backward compact with some traditinal approximations are inrtoduced at each set by the proposed method. The order of accuracy is verified of each scheme using the technique of finding the values of the coefficients for the error terms by matching both sides of the given scheme. Many schemes that are introduced in this article are applicable to some problems from science and engineering.
A Socio-Cognitive Analysis of the Self/other Representation in Bush’s Speech
Authors: Mahmoud Huda Abdul-Latif , Ali Al-Thalab Hasan Shaban 
Published: October 2024

It is known that political speeches are important as a communicative tool for politicians to maintain the power, which is essential to express political opinions and views as well as ideologies, though not always explicitly. Ideology is regarded as one of the primary objectives of text analysis in linguistic studies, particularly critical discourse analysis(henceforth CDA) , which consists of shared values, beliefs and attitudes within a group .In this way, discourse reflects the values of these ideological held by those groups who create it. The present study focuses on investigating the discursive ideological strategies of the self/other in Bush’s speech after September 11 attacks based on Van Dijk's (2006) model of ideological square. The data are collected qualitatively and a mixed method is used to analyze the results of this study. The major findings show that Bush used more ideological strategies to represent the image of “US” (selves) positively, than the image of “THEM” (others) negatively. In particular, the lexicalization is the most common strategy used by Bush’s speech, which showed that Bush emphasized on reflecting that Americans are (good, innocent, peaceful, victims, targeted, respectful, strong, great, powerful and sympathetic), while Arabs, particularly Muslims are (bad, terrorists, evil, violent, peace- haters, spiteful, murderers, vengeful, dangerous, destructive, violence and enemy). It is hoped that this study can improve the understanding of EFL learners about the importance of clarifying the hidden ideologies in politician’s speech and all kinds of discourse.
“E como eu não me entenderia com a terra?”
Authors: Eggensperger Klaus 
Published: October 2024

Apresentamos neste artigo aspectos de uma botânica romântica thoreauviana. Até o final de sua vida, o escritor era ativo como botânico de campo que levantava dados empíricos sobre a flora da sua região. Ao mesmo tempo, criticou duramente as ciências positivistas e propagava em suas obras um acesso ao mundo vegetal a partir de uma estética panteísta, envolvendo afetividade e espiritualidade. Além disso, se posicionava de forma clara contra o avanço do colonialismo interno e do capitalismo no campo, processo que implicava na instrumentalização e mercantilização da vida em geral. A combinação de pesquisa empírica com sensibilidade estética e posicionamento anticolonial de Henry David Thoreau interessa atualmente mais do que nunca.
Encenação do fascínio pelo mal
Authors: Vasconcelos Soares Deivanira , Calegari Lizandro Carlos 
Published: October 2024

Esse artigo faz uma leitura do romance A Nova Ordem (2019), de Bernardo Kucinski, analisando as características da distopia que propõe novos caminhos de progresso para o Brasil. Como é próprio dessa literatura, a análise do texto provoca sensações de repulsa pelas ações e crenças das personagens, mas também descortina um Brasil da realidade que parece muito possível de acontecer. Tudo no texto de ficção transita nos nossos olhos como se assim o fosse. Desse modo, o romance ambientado no Brasil tem características desnudas do autoritarismo fascista, mas também reporta, em muitos tópicos, a realidade do país que parece envolto por uma aura ditatorial. As retomadas, presentes na narrativa, de leis e órgãos, parte da realidade brasileira, reforçam essa impressão de insegurança, própria do gênero. Além disso, como as personagens e falas do enredo bem configuram ações e consciências ditatoriais, colocamos em evidência para apoio de leitura o entendimento de Hannah Arendt (1999) sobre a banalidade do mal, para analisar configurações discursivas que pontuam o caráter burocrático da prática da exclusão, expulsão e morte dos eleitos como outros, portanto, indesejáveis e retomamos as catorze características do fascismo, contribuições de Umberto Eco, no texto Fascismo eterno (2019).
