Periodontitis is an inflammatory disorder that affects the teeth's supporting structures, leading to attachment loss and bone resorption. Cytokines produced by immune and non-immune cells regulate the immune response, acting as both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory agents. This complex pathogenesis presents a significant public health challenge, emphasizing the need for early and accurate diagnostics. This study aimed to measure volume of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) using Periotron® and assess potential biomarkers (MCP-1 and IL-6) to predict periodontal disease severity and progression using the Human Enzyme-linked immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). GCF samples were collected from 30 patients with stage 1 periodontitis, 30 patients with stage 3 periodontitis, and 30 healthy subjects. The level of GCF recorded using Periotron® was 0.04 µl for the healthy control group, 0.10 µl for the stage 1 periodontitis group, and 0.70 µl for the stage 3 periodontitis group. MCP-1 and IL-6 levels in the GCF were significantly higher in the stage 3 periodontitis group compared to the stage 1 periodontitis group and healthy subjects.

misanjas misanjas; Inas Kamal Yaseen — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:49:23 +0000

Understanding that very few students appreciate grammar and tend to find it the hardest part of learning a language. The present study examines the importance of using gestural and facial expression feedback in order to motivate English as a Foreign Language learners in grammar lessons. It is commonplace for this research to look at how the use of gestures and facial expressions by teachers encourages learners to get interested in learning grammar. In a an experimental study, 120 EFL learners, fifth grade students from Baghdad primary school during the academic year 2023-2024, were assigned into an experimental and a control group. EFL learners were split into two strata: one where students received only asset verbal feedback and the other group where students received both asset verbal feedback and gestures. These were achieved through pre-and post-assessments, classroom evaluation, and learner motivation assessments through self-reporting. The mentioned results indicate that gestural and facial feedback plays a key role in boosting learners’ motivation and comprehension of grammatical structures as they offer visual and emotional support which in turn enhances the clarity of instruction and provides a better learning atmosphere. These results highlight the need of integrating communication strategies other than just the English language in EFL classrooms for purposes of motivation and enhancing interaction.

Background: In the field of dentistry, there has been a growing prevalence of digital manufacturing technologies in recent years. Presently, the manufacturing of removable complete dentures using three-dimensional printing can be achieved through the utilization of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) technology. This technology combines additive and subtractive techniques, commonly referred to as fast prototyping and three-dimensional printing, and employs PMMA professional light-curing resin as the material. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of titanium oxide nanotubes on the hardness of the underlying material utilized in 3D printed dentures. Materials and methods: The specimens were generated using 3D builder software developed by Microsoft Corporation, utilizing computer-aided design techniques. Specimens were designed with particular dimensions in compliance with the test standards for hardness. The denture resin 3D printed with titanium oxide nanotubes (Howngue, China TiO2 / D: 15-30 nm / L: 2-3 nm) was categorized into five groups (group 1 - 1% / group 2 - 1.5% / group 3 - 2% / group 4 - 2.5% / group 5 - 3%) based on weight. The specimens were printed using the Asiga max 3D printer, which utilizes digital light processing technology and is manufactured in Australia. Results: The average hardness values for the groups reinforced with 1% by weight of titanium oxide nanotubes showed a significant increase compared to the control group and with 1.5 % showed no significant difference. In contrast, the values for the other reinforcement groups declined considerably. Conclusion: The hardness of denture bases made from three-dimensionally printed material was successfully increased by including titanium nanotubes at concentrations of 1% by weight.

misanjas misanjas; Tahseen Ali Mhodar, Hayder Ali Abdulhasan — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:19:27 +0000

This paper examines the intersection between gender and the physic aspects of anxiety in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2013). The study focuses on how Adichie looks into gender through psychological perspectives. The main argument of the study will be the interpretation of gender as an impasse negatively affecting the novel’s female protagonist’s psyche. Ifemelu, who is the chief protagonist, embodies Adichie’s concern with creating an optimal view of women on the brink of psychological retardation due to two interrelated problems. The first problem gender severe prejudice engulfing women’s social relations. The second problem is women’s development of psychic anxiety as a result of the gender bias. Therefore, the study’s objective is to explore gender discriminations as the primary cause of protagonist’s psychic anxiety. The methodology for analyzing the relationship between gender and anxiety will be qualitative. It follows a textual analysis of the major female protagonist as well as the novel’s setting which plays a crucial role in identifying the accumulative formation of the protagonist’s anxiety. Thus, the study’s finding will be limited to the exploration of gender discrimination as an impetus to the formation of human anxiety.

misanjas misanjas; Aswan Fakhir Jasim — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 19:36:47 +0000

Vocabularies are the main elements of any language, thus, if there was not sufficient control in using them then the result would be a difficulty in vocabulary retrieval when needed. The frontload (pre teach) vocabulary strategies are used as a supportive pre learning strategies that help students to become acknowledged with the new materials that will be presented in the classroom. Applying these strategies can enable students remembering the vocabulary faster than traditional methods. The current study aims at investigating the effectiveness of using Frontload Vocabulary strategies in facilitating the Iraqi students' vocabulary retrieval. In order to fulfill the aims of the study, the researcher adopted a questionnaire. The questionnaire contains 12 items with the five point scale (always, usually, sometimes, rarely, never).The participants of the study are Third-year students at the Department of English/ College of Education. The distribution of the questionnaire is done online, 35 students received the questionnaire and answered it. For the pilot study, fifteen students were selected in a random way; the result was that 30 minutes were required to finish the questionnaire items. The items of the questionnaire were worded in a clear and simple way. Therefore, the students did not face any difficulty in responding to the questionnaire items. The items of the questionnaire were divided into two parts even and odd to measure their reliability. The researcher employed the Pearson correlation formula to measure the questionnaire reliability; it has been found that the reliability is 0.754. Then the Spearman Brown formula is applied and the result was that the questionnaire reliability is 0.859 which reveals that the questionnaire is reliable and acceptable. Based on the outcome of the study, this strategy facilitate students to comprehend the text or passage because many students lack the motivation to continue reading a text or passage when they encounter a lot of unfamiliar vocabulary. Furthermore, it also has been found that this strategy helps the students to get prepared before the process of reading starts which makes their learning process much more effective.

The Systemic Heterogeneity in Adnan Al-Sayegh’s Poetry – with Reference to Group (Text Dice)

misanjas misanjas; Abdulrahman Abdullah Ahmed — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:56:41 +0000

Formative heterogeneity is an intellectual and cultural mechanism represented by Adnan Al-Sayegh to reveal the repercussions of reality, and to clarify conceptual relativism, and its impact on the growing significance of ideas, with the aim of renewing the intellectual prevailing and revealing its shortcomings. This orientation, intellectual in its implicit introductions, and aesthetic in its gender proposal, is part of the prevailing thinking represented by the postmodern world and represented by the poet himself, who does not believe in the stability of references and the permanence of referring them to fixed formulas, as poets who lived through two stages (the stage before the change inside or outside Iraq and the stage after 2003). Especially those outside paid attention to the problem of the contradiction between the act and its manifestations (through the current living and the prevailing history, and they tried (and the poet is one of them) to clairvoyance of this difficult moment that Iraq is going through during sectarian wars and the emergence of militant groups that introduced it into a fierce confrontation caused by overlapping and intertwined narrative blogs). Thus, text dice is a readership / qualitative reaction to monitor this transformation (transformation in the Iraqi arena). Our technique to understand the idea of realistic and figurative transformation was mediated by the term heterogeneity that means transgression in its intellectual sense (identifying the problem and its contradictions and not rejecting or leaving it, and then involving the reader in the act of careful reading), and trying to get out of its board in order to stop the repercussions of reality and its imaginary justifications

misanjas misanjas; Yousif Radhi Kadhim — Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:19:56 +0000

The Middle East is a complex geographical region, and the events of the past 100 years have affected the world. Although various issues in the regional, political, economic and social fields of the Middle East have led to large-scale conflicts, the conflict today is taking place on a strategic scale and based on the interests of the powers in the region. Since the events of 9/11, new factors such as al-Qaeda terrorism, regional crises in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, along with the growing role of Shiites in the regional power structure and, of course, nuclear Iran, have led to linking the politics and security of the Middle East with international security, and turning Middle East issues into International and public issues. This research reviews the conflicts and challenges in the Middle East region, with a study of the case of Iraq.
