Only Elongated Chordae Tendineae is Important Entity of MVP Syndrome

Back ground Mitral valve prolapse [MVP ]is the most common valvluar abnormities . Echocardiographically MVP classified to two types, classical MVP ,more commonly occur in male after age of 40 years and usually associated with complications and non-classical MVP, usually in young female and usually benign , but commonly associated with autonomic dysfunction [MVP syndrome ]. Method 2676 patients (1985 female Vs. 691 male), their age between 12—81 year, were referred for ECHO study because of clinical suspicion of MVP, 2-D Color-Doppler ECHO study in left parasternal long axis view was done for them in addition to 12-lead ECG, patients were triage as group 1. classical MVP [define as more than 2mm displacement of mitral valve leaflet in to left atrium in addition to leaflet thickness 5mm or more] 2. Non-classical MVP [ 2 mm or more displacement with leaflet thickness less than 5mm.] 3. This group show no displacement with normal thickness of leaflet but show only elongated and fluttering chordae tendinae labeled as only elongated chordae group and group 4 which show completely normal ECHO [ labeled as non-prolapsing MVP syndrome],this group was excluded from the study. Result 283 patients [31.58%] have classical MVP [122 female vs. 151 male], 315 patients [35.1%] show non-classical MVP [236 female vs.79 male] while 298 patients [33.25%] show only elongated chordae [216 female vs. 82 male]. While 1780 patients [66.51%] have normal ECHO [ non prolapsing MVP syndrome. Mitral regurgitation [MR] occure in 203 patients of classical MVP [71.73%] (36 female vs. 167 male) while 132 patients (42%) [89 female vs.43 male] of non-classical MVP have MR and only 6 patients (2%) [5 female vs. 1 male] with only elongated chordae show MR. Conclusion Most patients with clinical suspicion of MVP have no evidence of prolapsed by ECHO study, those with ECHO finding may show either classical or non—classical MVP. Significant number of patients show only elongated chordae tendinae without prolapsed. So elonongated chordate can consider as important cause of MVP syndrome

Government Accounting System Reform and the Adoption of IPSAS in Iraq

This research examines the needs of reforming the government accounting system in Iraq as a developing country through the adoption of an accrual accounting based on IPSAS. It tries to search the reasons and requirements to apply IPSAS, discover the challenges which may face the Iraqi public financial management; and discuss what the supported factors that help public management to adopt the accrual base based on IPSAS are. Based on that, the research generally aims to contribute in the development of the public sector accounting and evaluate comprehensively the usefulness, feasibility and abilities of adopting the IPSAS through accrual base in Iraq. Our study, mainly focused on the central government .The research uses qualitative methodology through a questionnaire sent to accountants in the finance ministry, auditors in Iraqi supreme audit board and lecturers in Iraqi universities, specialized in government accounting to get data about reasons, requirements,  challenges and supported factors of adopting the IPSAS to the government accounting in Iraq.The study strongly reveals the need to reform the government accounting system through the adoption of an accrual accounting based on IPSAS. Keywords: Government Accounting Reform, IPSAS, Accrual Base, Iraq.

Modified (2PVCP) for Better Transaction Processing in Secure Cloud

Entities in distributed transactional database that published over cloud servers, collaborate to make evidence of ownership, this evidence are warranted by groups of legalized credential. This evidence and credential may be estimated and gathered over extended time period under the risk of having the essential ownership policies or the user that use this credential may use it out of these policies, for that becomes policy based ownership systems to make unsafe judgment that threaten sensitive resources. In this paper, the highlight is for the criticalness of this risk or problem, and then we declare the concept of trusted transaction when dealing with evidence of ownership. Accordingly the paper suggests increasingly stringent level of policy consistency constraints, and provides different implementation approximation to warranty the trustworthiness of transaction executing on cloud server. So we propose a Tow Phase Validation Commit Protocol as solution that modifies Tow Phase Validation Commit Protocols. At the last, we analyzed the different implementations by using both analytical estimation of the overheads and emulation to lead the judgment maker to decide which scheme to use. We built a prototype application that demonstrates the proof of concept. The empirical results revealed that the mechanisms pertaining to distributed transactions can be used in the real world cloud applications. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150711

Color Image Encryption Using LFSR, DNA, and 3D Chaotic Maps

One of the most important challenges facing researchers is to find new methods to protect data sent over the Internet and prevent unauthorized access to it. In this paper, we present a new method for encrypting image data divided into two stages. The first stage requires redistributing the positions of the pixels by using a key of random numbers generated by linear feedback shift registers and then encrypting the data using deoxyribonucleic acid rules. The data generated in the previous stage is encrypted again using chaotic maps to increase the level of security in the second stage. Several statistical tests were implemented to verify the efficiency of the proposed method and compare the results with the work of other researchers. The results of the tests proved a reasonable safety rate compared to other techniques

The Importance of Dialogue in the Qur'an - Surah (Al-Nahl) as a Model

This study presents the topic of dialogue as one of the most important means possessed by the Ummah as well as the individual to communicate with others. Dialogue is a way of life and a way of thinking, and the Holy Qur'an has paid great attention to it. Dialogue is the predominant method in the stories of previous nations and is the first tool of the prophets and their followers in spreading the call, the first means of presenting questions of faith, and it has been noted that the arena of dialogue is almost linked to the human personality; therefore, it was comprehensive. Also, its topics are almost limited to the subject of the message and the extent of people's proximity and distance from it. Therefore, this study focused on the importance of dialogue in the Holy Quran through Surat al-Nahl and reached several conclusions, the most prominent of which may be that dialogue according to the Qur'anic method does not start from the logic of guardianship over the other, or just the definition of what the interlocutor has, but is a matter of searching for the truth where it was. Moreover, this does not mean that the Muslim, when he enters into dialogue with others, has abandoned his perceptions; rather, objectivity is manifested in the readiness to abandon all perceptions and adopt their opponents if it turns out to be right with one opinion for another.

Flexural Behavior of Composite GFRP Pultruded I-Section Beams under Static and Impact Loading

In this study, the effect of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) section and compressive strength of concrete in composite beams under static and low velocity impact loads was examined. Modeling was performed and the obtained results were compared with the test results and their compatibility was evaluated.‎ Experimental tests of four composite beams were carried out, where two of them are control specimen with 20 MPa compressive strength of concrete deck slab and 50 MPa for other. Bending characteristics were affected by the strength of concrete under impact loading case, as it increased maximum impact force and damping time at a ratio of 59% and reduced the damping ratio by 47% compared to the reference hybrid beam. Under static loading, there was an increase in all the parameters, including the maximum load, ductility, and stiffness. Mid-span deflection was reduced by 25% under static and impact loads. A finite element analysis was performed by using the ABAQUS software. The midspan deflection value was greater than the experimental values by 6% and 3% for impact and static loads, respectively, and all other results showed a high rate of agreement with the obtained test results. The agreement between the numerical and experimental results indicates that the developed numerical model is capable of analyzing the impact and static behavior of such hybrid GFRP-concrete system. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091608 Full Text: PD

A Practical Evaluation of English for Iraq: Pupil's Book (4th Primary): Designing and Planning

In 2016, the Directorate of Curriculum and Methodology in the Ministry of Education in Iraq altered the old English textbook allocated for the forth-primary class with a new textbook called English for Iraq: Pupil's Book. After implementing this new textbook, the teachers, who are teaching this material, addressed a set of criticisms stating that the design and structure of this book does not fit the comprehensive levels of the pupils. As teachers emphasized that they encountered difficulties in teaching this material because they should have joined an intensive session for how to teach the new textbook before teaching it in the schools. Investigating the opinions of the teachers about the contents of the book, they believe that the grammatical topics apportioned for the forth grade are beyond the pupils' grasp where the writers set down rules of comparative and superlative degrees which pupils cannot perceive and should be given for the high school classes. Consequently, the teachers are obliged to choose simple and recognized topics and leave the topics – especially grammatical ones which confuse their minds if they are given to them. Thus, the initiative evaluation shows that the textbook contains difficult modules as it lacks practicing the four skills of the English language, in addition to the insufficiency of using the illustrative aids in the classroom.Keywords:  Evaluation, Designing, Structure, Weaknesses, Planning.
