Comparative study of serum protein status of local breeds sheep and goats in Basra province

A total of twenty-eight local breed sheep and goats (14 of each) of both sexes were used in this study to evaluate the blood protein status. Animals were divided into four equal groups: involving G1 (7 ewes), G2 (7 rams), G3 (7 does), and G4 (7 bucks). Blood biochemical analysis included estimation of total protein, albumin and globulins were done. Results displayed that the levels of total proteins were (6.15 ± 0.32 g/dL), (6.28 ± 0.37 g/dL), (6.62 ± 0.31 g/dL) and (6.52 ± 0.12 g/dL) in G1, G2, G3 and G4 respectively. Levels of albumin were (3.84 ± 0.37 g/dL), (4.11 ± 0.36 g/dL), (3.52 ± 0.22 g/dL) and (4.30 ± 0.30 g/dL) in groups (1, 2, 3 and 4) respectively. Levels of globulins were (2.31± 0.47g/dL), (2.97 ± 0.47g/dL), (3.10± 0.46g/dL) and (2.22 ± 0.34g/dL) in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The results of blood proteins showed no significant differences between all groups of the study in regard to the sex

The effect of economic training on some physiological variables and physical abilities for 1500 m run of advanced class

The study purpose is to identify the influence of economic training on some physiological variables and physical abilities of the athlete of 1500 m run for advanced class. Sport training is one of the important and basic sciences to prepare sportsmen to achieve the highest levels. The training should be built on right scientific and accurate basics in line with the latest development of different sport games. Also, it is a science that partially depends in its theories, basics and principles on other sciences as physiology, biochemistry and nutrition. All these sciences work together to enhance the training situation of the sportsman, which affects the players' levels positively. The study problem is that the accumulation of preparatory races during official championships of 1500 m until the final race, the athlete passes through more than one race within a short period of time, which negatively affects the player's performance. Consequently, it affects the player's results negatively, which will be a burden on the athlete. The results demonstrated that the use of economic training is an effective tool to develop physiological variables for 1500 m run. Also, it can be concluded that there is a noticeable development in the physical abilities of the experimental group due to use economic training for 1500 m run

The Role of Administrative Slouch in Expanding the Hidden Economy

This study aims to show the role of administrative slack through its dimensions (job inflation, job laziness, and low productivity) in expanding the hidden economy. A problem that impedes the effective performance of the state’s administrative apparatus, and to achieve the study's goal, the results of the essential previous research in this field were reviewed. Then a questionnaire form was designed for this purpose. (104) questionnaires were distributed to the administrative staff in the office of Salah al-Din Governorate, which was also completed. The use of a number of statistical methods, and the study came out to many conclusions, the most important of which were: the absence of teamwork methods, poor performance concerning control operations in the organization in question, and the prevalence of the phenomenon of negligence in the field of work. The results of the study showed the citizens’ dissatisfaction with the organization’s performance and the weakness of the performance evaluation processes. Also, the results revealed that the administration cannot achieve future development programs for the employees. The most important recommendations reached by the study were to work on finding a department concerned with following up on citizens’ complaints, knowing the deficiencies and removing the obstacles facing the administration and following up Performance through the KPLS program), the performance evaluation system and the intensification of development courses that help find future leaders

Social and Economic Impacts of Supply Chain Performance Measurement and Productivity with Particular Reference to Iraq

A lot of countries suffer from the large size of the informal economy as some estimates suggest that the volume of the informal economy in the economies of developing countries, represents a range from a high percentage of (30% -70%) of the gross domestic product of these countries. It means that a large proportion of economic activities in developing countries is operated with a level less than optimal level of operation and with high cost, which limits the benefit from the resources and energies available to these facilities that operate within this economy. In the 1980s, we witnessed the deployment of a number of new production strategies, such as timely production, lean manufacturing, Kanban systems and comprehensive quality management. These new production strategies were used by a number of companies to improve the management system, increase production and improve process quality, and reduce waste production and inventory costs, in order to improve competition in various markets. Recently, while these strategies focus more on improving supply chain management to achieve their goals, henceforth a number of developed supply chain management strategies can be analyzed with the help of a computer. Choice-based decision support tools play a crucial role in collaborating and managing decision support markets from a set of multiple component supply chains. This study concludes that the reason for the spread and growth of informal economy is related to economic, social and legal factors, which include the lack of employment opportunities that have resulted from decrease in the number of projects in public and private sectors and their limitations as well as some obstacles, the most important of which, is the expansion of financial and administrative corruption. In addition to that, the high volume of the informal economy has positive effects and other negative ones that exceed the positive effects on economy, and the most important of these effects are tax evasion, lack of social protection for workers, and deformation of data and statistics. Therefore, this study has recommended that state should give more attention to this economy by collecting and analyzing data and information on the labor market, preparing studies that show its economic feasibility, enhancing and expanding the extension of social protection, health, and occupational safety, improving governance climate in the country, strengthening the ruling of law and the legislations of labor law, improving the business environment for micro and small enterprises, establishing industrial and commercial complexes, facilitating the extraction of activity licenses, investing in education, and developing vocational training centers
