Impacting of the E- Platforms on the 4.0th Industrial Educational Revolution

Abstract: Nowadays, the world witnesses a major revolution in the world of communications and information technology, where technology has been entered into all aspects of social, learning and military life in both phases: public and private. In this paper, the role of technology of the learning aspects and the electronic learning platforms have been taken as a clear model besides the duration of the impact of this technology on the development of the 4.0th industrial revolution. The paper is shown a short overview of the newest trends included in the Industry 4.0 initiative and their impact on education and propose a new trend in higher education environment, its Industrial University Revolution 4.0. The impact here means that it is the degree of compatibility between the components of the industrial revolution in terms of technology and the range of applied standards that harmonize with the principles of the electronic platforms. For instance, entering the artificial intelligence in e-learning, smart room, book, testing, and etc. The result of this study shows that the recent trends in e-learning and its own platforms show large harmony between the 4.0 industrial revolution and the outcomes of e-learning.

Soluble ruthenium(II) with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid complexes

Abstract: New four water-soluble Ru(II) with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid complexes were synthesized. The complexes have been characterized using different tools such as: elemental analysis, mass, infrared, UV–Vis spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, thermal analysis and theoretical calculations. The complexes are diamagnetic and the electronic spectral data showed the peaks due to low-spin octahedral Ru(II) complexes. The thermal studies of complexes were investigated by the thermogravimetric analysis. The derivative thermogravimetric analysis has been also used to describe the steps ranges for better precision. The data showed that all complexes have been decomposed in three steps, and the decomposition data are consistent with the proposed formulae of the complexes. The thermal stability of the complexes (1–4) is confirmed by their relatively high overall activation energy ranged (96–207 kJ mol−1). The optimized structures of complexes (1–4) indicate that the complexes have distorted octahedral geometries with bond angles around the ruthenium atom ranged 78.37°–99.08°. The negative values of the electronic energies (− 807 to − 1319 a.u.), the highest occupied molecular orbital energies (− 0.176 to − 0.215 a.u.) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies (− 0.094 to − 0.138 a.u.) of the complexes indicate the stability of the complexes. The complexes are polarized as indicated from dipole moment values (5.18–13.33 Debye). All complexes are water soluble, neutral, stable and non-hygroscopic. The complexes have noticeable cytotoxicity with IC50 (µM): 0.017–0.083 (MCF-7), 0.014–0.123 (HCT-116), 0.024–0.126 (PC-3) and 0.013–0.056 (HepG-2). New soluble Ru(II) complexes with 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) ligand and different secondary ligands have been synthesized and characterized. The complexes are diamagnetic with distorted low-spin octahedral geometries. The thermal decomposition of complexes was studied and the thermodynamic parameters were evaluated. The IC50 values are in the range (0.013–0.089) μΜ.

Liver, Kidney Function Tests and Oxidative Damage During and after Treatment of Salmonella typhimurium Infection in Experimental Local Rabbits

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the liver, kidney damage caused by S. typhimurium and to estimate the oxidative damage in association with this bacteria. A highly virulent isolates of S. typhimurium were obtained from the department of internal and preventive medicine/ College of Veterinary Medicine/ University of Baghdad. A twenty five local rabbits of both genders with age range (2-4 months) weeks old were used for this study, the rabbits were divided randomly into five groups each group contains 5 rabbits :- group 1: drenched orally with 5 ml of normal saline and consider as control group, group 2: were drenched orally with (5 ml) suspension which contain (5��109 CFU) of Salmonella typhimurium and regarded as infected group, group 3 were drenched orally with (5 ml) suspension which have (5��109 CFU) of Salmonella typhimurium then treated with a single dose of gentamicin alone at 0.05ml/kg (5mg/ml) orally after presence of signs (after 24hrs. post inoculation), group 4 were drenched (5 ml) suspension having (5��109 CFU) of Salmonella typhimurium then treated with a single dose of Ca-EDTA alone at 40mg/kg orally after presence of signs (after 24hrs. post inoculation) and group 5 were drenched (5 ml) suspension that contain (5��109 CFU) of Salmonella typhimurium then treated with a single dose of combined gentamicin at 0.05ml/kg (5mg/ml) orally after presence of signs (after 24hrs. post inoculation) and Ca-EDTA 40mg/kg after presence of signs (after 24hrs. post inoculation).The results of biochemical profile showed a significant increase (p less than 0.05) in ALT, creatinine and urea levels in infected group as compared with control group, while, the treated groups especially group 5 showed a significant improvement in ALT, Urea and creatinine levels which returned to relative normal levels as compared with infected group after 96hrs. post treatment. Also, the results of oxidative stress showed a significant increase in the levels of MDA in G2, G3, G4 and G5 after 48 hrs. post treatment, while the level of GSH showed a significant decrease in the level at 48hrs., both were returned to relative normal levels after 96hrs.post treatment especially in group 5.In conclusion, S. typhimurium can causing liver and kidney damage which is manifested by increase ALT, Urea and Creatinine. Also, MDA and GSH is increased due to salmonellosis.

Clinical, molecular and cytopathological characterization of a Newcastle disease virus from an outbreak in Baghdad, Iraq.

Abstract: Background The frequent outbreaks of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in Iraq pose a constant threat to commercial poultry, despite the introduction of routine vaccination programmes. Several factors, particularly stress factors and coinfections, might play a role in increasing NDV outbreaks in poultry species. Objectives The current study was aimed to characterize an NDV isolate from an outbreak in North Baghdad, Iraq. Methods Clinical pathogenicity of the isolate was determined experimentally in chickens. In vitro studies included cytopathological examination, as well as molecular and phylogenetic analyses. Results Based on the clinical studies and pathogenicity indices (mean death time and intracerebral and intravenous pathogenicity indices), the isolate was characterized as velogenic (highly virulent). Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction targeting the partial fusion protein gene of the NDV genome confirmed the detection. Partial sequencing of the hypervariable region of the fusion gene identified the presence of an avirulent (lentogenic) fusion protein motif (GRQGRL). Phylogenetic analysis of the new isolate along with previously known regional isolates revealed that the new isolate was related to genotype II strains. Additionally, sequence analysis indicated a distinct genetic lineage of the new isolate, which was related to some of the lineages identified in previous outbreaks in the Middle East. Conclusion The current study offers essential information on the epidemiology, characteristics and diagnosis of NDV for disease control in Iraq. The isolate was found to belong to genotype II and possess an avirulent fusion protein motif.
