    Purpose: The aim of the research is to estimate the cost efficiency and technical and Allocavtive components of egg production projects and to identify risk management strategies.   Theoretical framework: These include Data Envelopment Analysis Program (DEAP), a method of linear programming in estimating the economic efficiency in addition to strategic use in risk management.   Design/methodology/approach: The data was collected from 44 egg chicken projects, collected randomly from Diyala county districts for 2018, for achieving economic efficiency of agriculture and  risk management strategic for projects of  table egg production .   Findings: by using of Data Envelopment Analysis with a input orientation. technical efficiency about averaged 0.995, which is highly efficient,. Allocavtive efficiency was 0.99. By linking the relationship between economic efficiency and some administrative variables, some of which are direct and inverse.   Practical & Social implications: The study benefits table egg producers, including their knowledge of the optimal use of resources for the actual use of resources through the study of economic efficiency. The study showed how to deal with risks in their projects. Outside the farm, the coping strategy to face risks is in lending, and thus this study is used at present and in the future in these investment projects..   Originality/value:  That the poultry sector is an investment and commercial sector, it is necessary to study the resources efficiency used and because it contains risks, so a strategy must be developed to protect the product from these risks

    The plant found in Mosul exhibited distinct characteristics in terms of its composition of Undecanoic acid and Linoleic acid. Notably, the highest concentration of fatty acids was observed in the leaves of the plant cultivated in the Aqrah district, measuring 9.908 mg/g. The findings of the present study demonstrate that fatty acids exhibit antioxidant properties against the free radical DPPH. Moreover, it was observed that the efficacy of these fatty acids in neutralizing the free radical increases proportionally with the concentration of the active compounds. At a concentration of 500 ÎĽg/ml, the fatty acids (Mosul) exhibited the highest level of inhibition, with a rate of 86.4%. This inhibition rate was found to be superior to that of fatty acids (Aqrah) at the same concentration, which showed an inhibition rate of 79.25%. Furthermore, the observed inhibition rate of fatty acids (Mosul) was statistically significant and comparable to the standard sample of ascorbic acid at the same concentration, which exhibited an inhibition rate of 85.6%. Following these results, the concentration of fatty acids (Mosul) is 400 micrograms per milliliter, exhibiting an inhibition rate of 81.2%. In comparison, fatty acids (Aqrah) achieved an inhibition rate of 72.3% at the same concentration. Other concentrations displayed varying degrees of inhibition capacity towards DPPH free radicals. The study provided confirmation of the inhibitory effects of fatty acids on the viability of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from infected individuals at Tikrit Teaching Hospital

    Mechanical Circulatory Support in High-Risk Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

    The use of mechanical circulatory devices to support high-risk elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become more common as the group of patients considered inoperable or high risk for surgical revascularization has grown. Most of the data examining outcomes in high-risk PCI are observational and retrospective. Limited prospective randomized studies have been unable to show improved clinical outcomes with routine mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with a high burden of coronary artery disease and reduced ejection fraction. The role for MCS in high-risk PCI continues to evolve as understanding of the appropriate groups for this therapy evolves

    Synthesis and Characterization of Some New Metals Complexes of [N-(4-Nitrobenzoyl Amino)-Thioxomethyl] Phenylalanine

    A new ligand [N-(4-nitrobenzoylamino)-thioxomethyl] phenylalanine is synthesized by reaction of 4-nitrobenzoyl isothiocyanate with phenylalanine (1:1). It is characterized by micro elemental analysis (C.H.N.S.), FT-IR, (UV-Vis) and 1H and 13CNMR spectra. Some metals ions complexes of this ligand were prepared and characterized by FT-IR, UV-Visible spectra, conductivity measurements, magnetic susceptibility and atomic absorption. From results obtained, the following formula [M(NBA)2] where M2+ = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, Cd and Hg, the proposed molecular structure for these complexes as tetrahedral geometry, except copper and palladium complexes are have square planer geometry

    Consequential Effects of Defence Expenditure on Economic Growth of Saudi Arabia: 1970-2012

    Get PDF
    This study investigates the causality relationship between defence expenditures and Non Oil economic growth in Saudi Arabia over the period 1970-2012. Using Unit root tests, Johansen’s co-integration test and Granger Causality test. In this paper we found the existence of bi-directional causality relationship running from Non Oil-GDP to defence expenditure. The results show that, in Saudi Arabia, the model of defence expenditure is found to hold for Non Oil-GDP

    Saudi Financial Structure and Economic Growth: A Macroeconometric Approach

    Get PDF
    This paper investigates the nexus between financial sector development and economic growth in the Saudi economy over the period 1970-2012 by using four alternative proxies for financial development and several techniques including unit root tests, the co-integration test, the Granger Causality Test, and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). We used time series econometrics techniques to examine the causal relationship between financial sector development and economic growth in the Saudi economy. The results obtained from the analyses show that there is a positive relationship between financial sector development and economic growth in Saudi Arabia. The development of the financial system will thus have a positive impact on the growth of the Saudi economy

    Phenotypic and Numerical Characterization and Detection of the Genetic Relationship of a Number Ants Species of Hymenoptera: Formicidae in Iraq

    The study aimed at the phenotypic characterization of a number of species of real ants, Hymenoptera: formicidae, in some governorates of central and northern Iraq, as well as revealing similarities and genetic differences depending on the phenotypic characteristics of 16 samples of real ants. The samples were collected from the governorates (Salah al-Din, Kirkuk, Sulaymaniyah, Erbil) using Collection kit, ants samples were diagnosed in the Research Center and Natural History Museum \ University of Baghdad, and the study was conducted in the laboratories of the College of Science \ University of Tikrit in the period 12/15/2021 – 5/1/2022. Samples were collected and preserved according to the methods used in preserving insects. A phenotypic study was conducted for (38) phenotypic characteristics of the general shape of the head, thorax, abdomen, legs and wings in detail using a anatomical microscope. Temporary sections were photographed using a digital camera and kept until the results are studied. Numerical classification and phenotypic genetic dimension were conducted based on the results of the studied phenotypic traits. The results showed a clear discrepancy between the species, it was shown from the results of the statistical analysis of the values of the phenotypic genetic dimension, which ranged between (0.230-0.958), where the least genetic dimension was between sample No. 1 (Camponotint xerxes Erbil 1) and No. 8 (Camponotint xerxes Kirkuk 2), as it reached 0.230, and that is It is the highest percentage of similarity between the two samples within the studied species. As for the highest genetic dimension, it was 0.958 between sample 14 (Camponotint xerxes Salah al-Din 1) and samples No. 9 and 10 (9-Messor sp Kirkuk, 10- Messor sp Sulaymaniyah 1). There is no match in the traits studied between these two samples, while the values of the genetic dimension for the rest of the species ranged between those values
