    Technically, mobile P2P network system architecture can consider as a distributed architecture system (like a community), where the nodes or users can share all or some of their own software and hardware resources such as (applications store, processing time, storage, network bandwidth) with the other nodes (users) through Internet, and these resources can be accessible directly by the nodes in that system without the need of a central coordination node. The main structure of our proposed network architecture is that all the nodes are symmetric in their functions. In this work, the security issues of mobile P2P network system architecture such as (web threats, attacks and encryption) will be discussed deeply and then we propose different approaches and we analysis and evaluation of these mobile P2P network security issues and submit some proposal solutions to resolve the related problems with threats and other different attacks since these threats and attacks will be serious issue as networks are growing up especially with mobility attribute in current P2P networks

    This study examines the effect of gender on students' bilingual and bicultural identity in their recognition and production of request is studied. This means that it investigates to what extent the learners’ mother tongue and culture influence their recognition and production of request in the EFL and the effect of gender on such an identity. The study aims at exploring and identifying the linguistic patterns of request in English used by Iraqi EFL learners, those patterns of request transferred from Iraqi EFL learners’ mother tongue, and the Iraqi EFL learners’ cultural patterns and cultural realization of request transferred from Arabic culture into the EFL. Some hypotheses of the study state that there is a bilingual and cultural identity in using request by Iraqi EFL learners, females are better than males in request perception and production and they are worse in Arabic monolingualism and monoculturalism, students are better in English monolingualism and monoculturalism than in the other request features, students’ English monolingual and monocultural identity is more apparent in request perception than in production. To validate or refute its hypotheses, a test comprising recognition and production has been constructed and applied to fifty Iraqi EFL learners at fourth year, Department of English, College of Education for Humanities, University of Thi-Qar at the academic year (2020-2021). After data analysis, some conclusions are arrived at. The study concludes that Iraqi EFL learners are pragmatically incompetent and they have a bilingual and bicultural identity because of their mother tongue and culture interference

    Background: The previous laboratory investigations confirmed local polio case was informed on 28th  January 2000 and another two wild polio cases were reported from Resafa \ Baghdad province in 2014. The date of onset of these cases were February and April 2014 and both cases were connected to 2013 of Syria outbreak. Objective:To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes levels towards polio vaccination among staff of Technical Institute - AL-Suwaira. Patients and Methods: A study of cross-sectional design consisted of 170 a selected samples of Technical Institute \ AL-Suwaira staff members. Collected during January 2018.The knowledge and attitudes levels estimated by using typical design of self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to explain the results. Results: Over all, 170 participants reacted to the questionnaire by a response rate of 93.5%. All respondents established a good knowledge and positive attitudes levels to poliovirus vaccination. Mean knowledge score (built on11 knowledge questions) and mean attitude score (built on 10 attitudes statements) of participants about polio vaccine were 14.45±2.38 and 26.5±4.5 respectively. The mainstream of respondents agreed that all children should be taken the polio vaccine (88.2%), and the sterility concerns that associated with polio vaccines (14.1%). Television (n=126, 39%) and Internet (n = 66, 21%) were the main social media sources that used by staff members to educate and modify themselves about polio vaccination.  Knowledge defects were recognized in the management issues and how to dealing with vaccines (45.9%), the incubation period of poliovirus infection (38.8%) and the consequences of the poliovirus infection (56.5%) on the victims. Conclusion: Staff members of Technical Institute \ AL-Suwaira showed a good knowledge and positive attitudes levels about polio vaccination. Even though the statistics are indicative of knowledge gaps of participants, further studies are needed to assess these levels for better education program against polio

    The needs to combine selection of materials (SM) processes during the early stages of design have previously been realized. In this work, an attempt is made to ensure that there is no gap between function oriented design and the material. A methodology is being developed, for a concurrent qualitative selection of materials method (CQSM) that takes into consideration the importance of materials properties in the early design stages. The method is modified from quantitative method called weighting property method used for selecting materials in the detailed design stage. The method was modified to qualitative method; it means that the input data for materials property of the design must be qualitative data which consisting of groups or sub-groups of materials, range value properties and approximate values. By giving weight to the degree of importance of the properties, a developed database is search for the best group that can satisfy the CQSM. In the present investigation, a new numerical method has been build by using visual basic developed select materials for mechanical design in conceptual stage. This method, which is based on weighting property method (WPM) uses a new digital logic (DL) comparison with the traditional (DL) makes the result more accurate because it does not elimination problem of the least important criterion
