Three sites were identified in this study to measure some of the physical and chemical properties of the main outfall drain water, the passer Al-Qadisiyah Governorate to determine the quality of the public water, physical and chemical, and its suitability for irrigation. The results of the current study showed that the values of the air temperature ranged between (4 - 45 C°) and water (9.5-30C°). The pH values were bent to the basic side and ranged from (7.7-8.4), dissolved oxygen values (5.1-10.8) mg / l and electrical conductivity was ranged from(3380-11520) μs / cm, Salinity ranged between(2.1 -7.3g / L), where water is classified as oligohalic, The total dissolved solids values ranged between (3310 - 7650) mg / L. The high alkalinity in the study , total alkalinity ranged from (1140 -2280mg CaCo3/ L), Calcium ions were recorded (131.4 -320-mg CaCo3 / L), and Magnesium (135.9-401.2 mg CaCo3/ L). The values of sodium exceeded the Iraqi and international standard limits and ranged between (708.7-1256mg/l), Potassium values ranged between (13.3 -28.2mg / L), The values of chloride were high, ranging between (849.7 -1939.3mg / L) and sulphate (734.8-1074.2) mg / l), The ratio of sodium adsorption exceeded the permissible limits for irrigation of agricultural crops according to the classification of the American salinity laboratory (1954) ranging from (35.973.5 %). The results of the study showed that the MOD water is physically and chemically unfit for the determinants.

Published: July 2024

The study included isolating and diagnosing of Bacillus subtilis different soils at Thi Qar province. The ability of bacterial isolates to produce Endo-β-1,4-glucanase was determined after growing on carboxymethyl cellulose CMC medium, Using Congo red and NaCl. Enzyme Endo-β-1,4-glucanase isolates were identified using biochemical tests and VITEK2 as B. subtilis. Isolates were identified using 16S rRNA tests after extraction of DNA from isolates and amplified by PCR using 27F primers (Forward) and 1492R (Reverse) . All isolates in the current study were positive for this gene and the size of the gene for all isolates was at 1500 pb. After identifying the gene sequences and comparing them with the data available in the Gen Bank, NCBI data showed that they were new strains of B. subtilis strain m1 (MF449304) and B. subtilis strain M2 (MF449461) bacteria. Isolates were recorded in NCBI GenBank and were design for each evolutionary tree isolation by Software MEGA6. After the diagnosis of bacterial isolates, the ideal conditions for the production of Endo-β-1,4-glucanase were changed for incubation period, temperature, pH , Incubator Shake, carbon and nitrogen sources. Enzymatic efficacy was determined using of dinitro salicylic acid DNS detector to detect the glucose releasing glucose molecules Endo-β-1,4-glucanase. The enzyme was produced after growing of bacterial isolates of plant culture containing plant and cardboard residues as natural sources of carbon and alternative to costly industrial sources as a source of carbon at a concentration of 1% at 45 ° C for 48 hours .

Published: July 2024

Background: Diabetes mellitus keeps on developing in worldwide pervasiveness and consume amount of health care resources. The management of diabetes incorporates capacity to change lifestyle, and physical activity.Objectives:Evaluate of management role (counting adherence) in control status and appraisal of adherence in control status of diabetic. Method: A cross-sectional design was used a convenience sample of 139 subjects with type 1, type 2 diabetes, ≥25 years old, included residents of the community in the city of Nasiriyah only registered in the Diabetes Center for both gender (62male and77female), between March and September 2016.Questionnaire sheet was used designed for collect data. Results: The study results indicated that the persons with a mean age of 50.01 ±12.4years, the cause of disease for participants' more than half of them are hereditary (n=88;63.3%), Considering the uncontrolled more than half of them (n = 102 ; 73.4% ), less than half of them is within 10-14.9years duration of disease (n=46; 33.1%), more than half of them are used double hypoglycemic drug and poorly controlled in HbA1c (n= 111 ; 79.9%), (n =83 ;59.6%); respectively; there is a significant association of HbA1c with type of drug, significant association between determinants and duration of disease and type of drug with level of p-value ≤ 0.05. Conclusions. The majority of subjects haven’t their diabetes controlled; their low self-efficacy, and decline self-management. Therefore, strategies to promote self-management for patients are essential components of diabetes education programs, skill-building interventions are critical to be able to manage their diabetes.

Published: July 2024

The current study carried out to evaluate the levels of corticosterone, epinephrine, insulin and thyroxine accompanied induced diabetes mellitus in rats. Therefore, ninty six rats were divided into two main groups: control group which exposed to normal temperature (21±2) °C and second group which exposed to high temperature (40±2)°C each main group subdivided into three subgroups exposed to temperature for one, two and four hours respectively, also each subgroup composed of healthy rats and diabetic rats equally. At the end of experiment blood samples were collected for determination of corticosterone epinephrine, insulin and thyroxine.
Results revealed significant increase in corticosterone and epinephrine and insulin in heat stressed group compared with control group while there was significant decrease in thyroxine in healthy and diabetic rats in heat stressed group compared with control group.Results showed significant increase in corticosterone in diabetic rats compared with healthy rats in both groups ,while the significant increase in epinephrine and insulin in diabetic rats was only in heat stressed group.Results reported significant decrease in corticosterone and thyroxine according to the increase in heat exposure duration,while epinephrine and insulin increased according to the duration. These findings indicated that heat stress may be increase harmful effects in alloxan induced diabetic rats.

Published: July 2024

The paper is dedicated to power and environmental aspects of option the most appropriate types of fuel for supplying the economics of European countries and Ukraine. Accordingly notions about influence of C-containing fuels on greenhouse effect and on warming of environment, the existing tendency of substitution the fossil fuels — generally — and the natural gas — particularly — for methane-hydrogen mixtures is discussed as a controversial point. The problem of advancement the national fuel complexes is under consideration and has been studied with approach based upon the example of Ukrainian pre-war state of economics. An attention has been paid up on reduction of production and consumption of all types of the fossil fuels in the last decades, mainly due lowering the industrial using constituent. An enhancement of fuel using efficiency due improvement of furnace equipment basis provides an successive solution the fuel problems. The thermodynamic background for evaluation the efficiency of fuel using with account of the furnace’s non-ideality has been developed. The problem of “wet combustion” takes of special significance by the reason of weather and climate conditions’ account, on the one hand, and an opportunity to control the efficiency of fuel using, on the other hand, with new combined technique. The contemporary approach consists in combination the direct method of decrease the CO2 emission due exclusion of using the C-containing fuels (firstly — the fossil fuels) and with enhancement the efficiency of using the fossil fuels, for example due erection the recuperative heat recovery facilities with preliminary preheating of combustion air, in some advanced cases by combination with an air, humidification. The perspective ways of provision the decarbonization of environment consists in substitution the fossil fuels (mainly the natural gas NG) for hydrogen or H2-containing gas mixtures. The thermodynamic analysis of relevant technique has been carried out to estimate the opportunities of control the efficiency of hydrogen admixture to NG. Taking into account the variety of technologies of hydrogen production, the engineering method with giving of conditional coloration of hydrogen as a fuel has been considered. The “green” H2 makes the most valuable type of fuel (compared with “blue”, “turquoise”, “yellow”, “rose” colored and especially to the “grey” H2) as a substituting fuel from the standpoint of H2 fitness to process and plant. Particularly for high-temperature melting furnaces a provision of maximum emissivity of flame requires an using of carbon containing fuels to organize thermal pyrolysis of gas and soot formation within the combustion zone.
