The impact of the Iraq War 2003 on the British Society: A postcolonial study of Simon Stephens’s Motortown (2006)

This study explores the postcolonial impact of the 2003 Iraq war on British society, focusing on Simon Stephens\u27s Motortown. The study addresses the contested field of postcolonialism, rejecting war while examining the transformation of culture and society resulting from colonialism. It explores nationalism, space and place, and the fusion of colonial and indigenous cultures. Concepts like hybridity, ambivalence, and the frame of war are explored within the postcolonial framework. Drawing on Homi K. Bhabha\u27s influential work, The Location of Culture, the study examines the position of colonizer nations and their identity. Bhabha\u27s concepts of cultural hybridity and colonial ambivalence illuminate the interactions between colonized nations and imperial colonizers, shaping the identities and cultures of both. Judith Butler\u27s Frames of War: When Is Life Grievable? is incorporated, exploring how certain lives receive grief and political protection, while others remain invisible within social and political structures. By applying Butler\u27s and Bhabha\u27s concepts, the study analyzes the impact of the Iraq war on British society as depicted in Stephens\u27s Motortown. This research contributes to understanding the cultural and social effects of the Iraq war on British society within a postcolonial framework and reveals the dynamics of power, hybridity, and ambivalence in the post-war context

This research paper titled "Exploring Traumatized Soldiers: The Intersection of War, Theater, and British Society in Mark Ravenhill’s Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat" examines the impact of the Iraq War on British soldiers, their families, and society as a whole. Utilizing theoretical frameworks from psychology, specifically the works of Sigmund Freud and Cathy Caruth, the study analyzes the concept of trauma within the context of war. By focusing on Mark Ravenhill\u27s play Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat, the research investigates how the play portrays the experiences of British soldiers affected by the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the subsequent challenges faced by the British people. Through the analysis, the study aims to uncover the psychological and emotional consequences of war trauma on individuals and its broader societal implications. The utilization of psychological perspectives provides a deeper understanding of the complexities of war trauma. Drawing on Freud\u27s and Caruth\u27s theories, the research explores the lasting effects of trauma on soldiers and its intersection with theater and British society. By examining the portrayal of traumatized soldiers in Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat and analyzing the psychological dimensions of trauma, this study offers valuable insights into the interplay between war, theater, and British society. It contributes to a broader understanding of the long-term impact of war on individuals and communities, emphasizing the role of theater in addressing and representing collective trauma. In conclusion, this research paper provides a significant exploration of the experiences of traumatized soldiers, the effects of war on British society, and the capacity of theater to engage with and depict collective trauma

Pathology of Organizational Training in Universities of Iran Medical Sciences based on McKinsey 7S Mode

Background: The educational system of any organization is actively and potentially one of the most important aspects of that organization in human resource development. It is necessary for any system to benefit pathology in order to function properly. The goal of this study is to investigate and identify the weaknesses of staff education systems of the country's medical universities based on McKinsey 7S Model. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase through key criteria, seven elements of the model were extracted using expert ' opinions and selection criteria was converted to measures and distributed in the form of a questionnaire among 113 officials and experts from Medical Sciences universities. Cronbach's alpha questionnaire was 0.931. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics for the frequencies of demographic data and means and standard deviation and analysis statistics such as t-test. Results: The results showed that the state of education in the country's universities is undesirable respectively in dimensions of the structure (P-value = 0.401), management practice (P-value = 0.69) and strategy (P-value = 0.473). However, the average of overall pathology (141.07) was higher than the interested average (138) and showed that there is generally no serious damage in the country's medical universities training. Conclusion: Managers' support, clarification of educational rules and regulations, determining specific hierarchy in training unit, goal setting and training strategies in a targeted form and by stakeholders' engagement are proper strategies to remove injuries in staff training systems

A couple of the first cousins born with hypotonia and maternal polyhydramnios

Key Clinical Message Congenital myotonic dystrophy should be considered in hypotonic infants with polyhydramniotic mothers with a positive history of myotonia. Abstract Congenital myotonic dystrophy (CDM) is a predominantly maternally inherited disease and results from increased numbers of cytosine, thymine, and guanine (CTG) repeats in the unstable DNA regions and presents as hypotonia in the neonatal period and myotonia in adulthood. This report aims to present two cases of CDM. A first‐cousin couple was born and hospitalized due to hypotonia at birth and a maternal history of polyhydramnios during this pregnancy. The first‐born baby girl was admitted to the NICU with tachypnea and hypotonia, clubfoot, and frog‐like posture. The pregnancy was complicated by polyhydramnios. Interestingly, her first cousin was born the next day with a similar picture and history. Myotonia was detected in their mothers. The concurrent presence of hypotonia and polyhydramnios as well as maternal myotonia in a first cousin should be considered CDM until proven otherwise and this was confirmed by the EMG‐ NCV test

Synthesis and Biochemical effects of magnetite nanoparticle by surfactant-free electrochemical method in an aqueous system:the current density effect

Obejective(s): In this research, magnetite nanoparticles with an average size of 23-36 nm were successfully synthesized via surfactant-free electrochemical method using iron as the anode and water as the electrolyte in a closed aqueous system in the presence of NaOH at room temperature. Methods: The effect of the current density on product formation and particle size was investigated. Particle size was controlled by adjusting the current density. It was found that particle size decreases by decreasing the current density. In addition, the effect of current density  on the structural and optical properties of nanostructures were studied by X-ray diffraction, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared, and vibrating sample magnetometer techniques.  Results: The results obtained from the magnetization property study of samples at room temperature showed coactivity and saturation manetization of 0-100 Oe and 27.2- 40.5 emu. g-1, respectively. Finally, the results of biological activity study of nanoparticles on liver and kidney function in male wistar rats demonstrated that oral administration of NPs caused significant alterations to the levels of aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase in serum. Conclusions: No significant changes were detected in the groups treated with 10 and 100 ppm/ day nanostructure (P>0.05). There was a significant increase in the serum level of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen level (

Assessment of platelets morphological changes and serum butyrylcholinesterase activity in children with diabetic ketoacidosis: a case control study

Abstract Background Many studies indicated that mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) may be valuable in the diagnosis and management of clinical disorders; also, serum butyrylcholinesterase activity (BChE) was suggested to be linked to systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. Limited studies measured these readily available markers in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Our objectives were to measure MPV, PDW and BChE in children with DKA; and to assess if any of these markers reflects the severity of DKA. Methods Our study included: 30 children with DKA (DKA group), 30 diabetic children (Non-DKA group) and 30 apparently healthy children (control group). MPV, PDW and BChE were measured in all children. Additional blood samples were withdrawn from the DKA group to assess these markers at discharge from hospital. Results MPV, PDW and BChE were significantly altered in the DKA group than the other two groups; and their levels improved significantly at discharge of the DKA group (p  0.05). Conclusion DKA in children is associated with changes in MPV, PDW and BChE activity, which improve after resolution of the condition. Elevated MPV can be a suitable risk marker for DKA. None of the studied markers correlated with the severity of DKA

Renoprotective effect of Nigella sativa against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress in rat

Cisplatin is one of the important antineoplastic drugs. Its clinical use has been restricted due to severe kidney toxicity. Nigella sativa (N. sativa) is an herbaceous plant with many pharmacologic effects. In the present study, we evaluated the protective effects of aqueous-ethanolic extract of N. sativa and Vitamin E on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Eighty male rats were divided into eight groups: control, cisplatin (6 mg/kg; ip), preventive Vitamin E (100 mg/kg), preventive N. sativa (100,200 mg/kg), preventive + treatment Vitamin E, and preventive + treatment N. sativa (100, 200 mg/kg). Duration of this study was 11 days and cisplatin was injected on the 6th day of the experiment. Tissue damage in all groups that received N. sativa extract and Vitamin E showed a significant improvement compared with the cisplatin group. In addition, serum and tissue total thiol content in preventive and preventive + treatment N. sativa groups showed significant increase compared with cisplatin group. There was no significant difference in serum malondialdehyde concentration of the control rats compared with the preventive and preventive + treatment N. sativa groups. N. sativa extract and viamin E improved the pathology and oxidative stress in the rat kidney. However, more studies are needed to determine the mechanism of action of N. sativa on cisplatin-induced kidney toxicity

RANK/RANKL/OPG axis genes relation to cognitive impairment in children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background RANK/RANKL/OPG axis was implicated in many pathological conditions. The study aimed to assess the relationship between the studied RANK, RANKL, and OPG polymorphisms and alleles and cognitive impairment in children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT). Methods This study included 60 TDT children. Real-time PCR was done for: rs1805034, rs1245811, and rs75404003 polymorphisms for the RANK gene, rs9594782 and rs2277438 polymorphisms for the RANKL gene, and rs207318 polymorphism for the OPG gene. The intelligence quotient (IQ) was assessed using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition. Results TDT children had a low average total IQ, verbal IQ, and borderline performance IQ. RANK rs1805034 (C > T) had a significant effect on total IQ (p = 0.03). Its TT polymorphism and the CT polymorphism of RANKL rs9494782 (C > T) had a significantly lower total IQ (p = 0.01 for both). The G allele of the RANKL rs2277438 (G > A) had a significantly lower total IQ (p = 0.02). RANK rs1805034 (C > T) and RANKL rs2277438 (G > A) significantly affected verbal IQ (p = 0.01 and 0.03). TT genotype of RANK rs1805034 (C > T) had significantly lower verbal IQ (p = 0.002). Furthermore, the GG genotype of RANKL rs2277438 (G > A) had a significantly lower verbal and performance IQ than the AA genotype (p = 0.04 and 0.01 respectively), and its G allele had a significantly lower performance IQ than the A allele (p = 0.02). Conclusion TDT children had low average total and verbal IQ while their performance IQ was borderline. The RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway affects cognition in TDT children, as some of the studied genes’ polymorphisms and alleles had significant effects on total, verbal, and performance IQ of the studied TDT children
