This paper introduces an innovative control chart customized for the gamma distribution, specifically crafted to handle uncertain conditions through repetitive sampling. The control chart's coefficients, along with the probabilities of remaining in control or detecting a shift, and the average run lengths, were derived by assuming the symmetrical behavior typical of the normal distribution, using the neutrosophic interval method. The performance of this chart was evaluated by assessing average run lengths under various uncertain process conditions. The chart's efficacy in identifying both minor and major process shifts was investigated. This study also provides a comparison between the newly proposed chart and existing ones. To demonstrate its practical utility, an example from the healthcare sector is provided. Both simulation results and this practical example confirm that the new control chart is effective in swiftly identifying deviations in processes, making it a valuable tool for managing uncertainty.

BackgroundTraumas to the head and neck are common in sports and often affects otherwise healthy young individuals. Sports-related concussions (SRC), defined as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), may inflict persistent neck and shoulder pain, and headache, but also more complex symptoms, such as imbalance, dizziness, and visual disturbances. These more complex symptoms are difficult to identify with standard health care diagnostic procedures.ObjectiveTo investigate postural control in a group of former elite athletes with persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS) at least 6 months after the incident.MethodPostural control was examined using posturography during quiet stance and randomized balance perturbations with eyes open and eyes closed. Randomized balance perturbations were used to examine motor learning through sensorimotor adaptation. Force platform recordings were converted to reflect the energy used to maintain balance and spectrally categorized into total energy used, energy used for smooth corrective changes of posture (i.e., 0.1 Hz).ResultsThe mTBI group included 20 (13 males, mean age 26.6 years) elite athletes with PPCS and the control group included 12 athletes (9 males, mean age 26.4 years) with no history of SRC. The mTBI group used significantly more energy during balance perturbations than controls: +143% total energy, p = 0.004; +122% low frequency energy, p = 0.007; and +162% high frequency energy, p = 0.004. The mTBI subjects also adapted less to the balance perturbations than controls in total (18% mTBI vs. 37% controls, p = 0.042), low frequency (24% mTBI vs. 42% controls, p = 0.046), and high frequency (6% mTBI vs. 28% controls, p = 0.040). The mTBI subjects used significantly more energy during quiet stance than controls: +128% total energy, p = 0.034; +136% low-frequency energy, p = 0.048; and +109% high-frequency energy, p = 0.015.ConclusionAthletes with previous mTBI and PPCS used more energy to stand compared to controls during balance perturbations and quiet stance and had diminished sensorimotor adaptation. Sports-related concussions are able to affect postural control and motor learning.

The purpose of this article is to analyze selected poetic works of Billy Collins (1941- ), the most popular American poet in the present time, to show a clear line of moral humanitarian preaching that runs under the surface of his often humorous and entertaining poems. The topics discussed in this article include manners, respecting privacy, personal responsibility, self-acceptance, practical living advice, gratitude for life and finding meaning in death. The poems analyzed in this study address a wide range of human issues that are relatable in a global sense. The way Collins delivers these universal messages includes many postmodern devices such as humor, wit, sarcasm, satire and irony. Collins style of writing is freestyle and involves many settings and themes of the everyday and matters that the common person would encounter. The accessibility of his writing has gained him widespread public appeal and his lessons for humanity set him apart from the poetry that is only for entertainment value.

This study investigates teachers' conceptions of engagement with, and in, teacher research (TR) in the Sultanate of Oman. The data collected through interviews and questionnaires reveals that TR is not yet common practice in Omani schools. To make TR a sustainable mainstream activity within school environments should entail improving teachers' concepts, attitudes, and understandings of the role of TR in the development of educational system and for their own professional development. Teachers should also be provided with logistical requirements and practical conditions that help them become active and competent practitioner researchers.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the predominant form of malignancy among women. Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes, such as X-ray repair cross complementing 3 (XRCC3), can influence an individual's capability to repair damaged DNA. This can result in genetic instability and potentially contribute to the development of cancer. This study investigates the correlation between the XRCC3 Thr241Met genetic variants and the risk of breast cancer. Material and methods: This study is considered the first study in Iraq that sheds light on studying the effect of the XRCC3 Thr241Met genotype variants and their relationship with increased risk of breast cancer. The blood of 75 Iraqi women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer was used in this study to extract DNA, in addition to using 50 blood samples from women who appeared to be healthy and without a family history of any other cancer, as a control group. Genotyping of the XRCC3 Thr241Met gene was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes were determined in all participants. Results: The findings of this study demonstrated that the Met/Met allele occurred more frequently in patients than controls (OR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.8–6.04; p = 0.0001), particularly in patients with positive lymph node metastases, grade II and III, and stages III/IV. Conclusions: These findings established the association of the Thr241Met genotype with breast cancer among Iraqi women; specifically, the homozygous (Met/Met) genotype appeared to be correlated with risk of breast cancer and cancer prognosis. This genotype was notably more prevalent among women diagnosed with high-grade tumours, as well as advanced stage and metastatic breast cancer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study examines the discourse function of intonation in an audio clip taken from the syllabus for teaching English in Iraq. The study addresses the question: How does intonation contribute to the cohesion of discourse? To answer this question, the study adopts Brazil's (1997) model of discourse intonation of a recorded conversation between two teachers. The analysis reveals that the pattern of a fall-rising question, followed by a falling answer, keeps stretches cohesive and marks openings, pauses, and closing of turns to regulate discourse.

This paper describes a video summary approach for an actual video file that provides a rapid way to assess its information. This is a difficult task to identify relevant or informative sections. When the original video demands knowledge of its content, we build a video summary via extracting in-depth characteristics of each original video. Video summarization deals with the generation of a condensed version of the original video by including meaningful frames or segments while eliminating redundant information provides a concise and accurate representation of the original video clips by providing the most representative summary with increased interest through the application of a matching function between the current and prior frames. The primary goal of this work is to give a strategy for recording video clips using security cameras and converting them into a short video to provide a clear analysis of the video by reducing excess and extracting the key video contents into the real video. In a lengthy video clip, viewers may not have enough time to see the full thing. The viewer may be interested in seeing a specific topic under the label "Important". It may be composed of pieces that may be shared on social media and communicate the semantics of long videos, particularly video snippets that must be submitted to Internet. To browse, will be needed a network with adequate bandwidth. That is, non-affiliated video streaming, indexing, and retrieval of video content makes it valuable to viewers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Borrowing words from one language to another has always happened. some words both in meaning and in pronunciation may change from the source language to the destination language over time and in the process of borrowing. Laki is one of the ancient languages observed in the provinces of Lorestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Central Hamedan, Khuzestan and Qazvin. Geographically, they are located between Lorraine and Kurdish lands. The main centers of Laki speakers are the cities of Selseleh (Aleshtar), Noorabad (Delfan), Kuhdasht and Darhshahr. There are some words in Laki whose roots can be found in Arabic. The purpose of writing this article is to study the meaning and phonological processes of Arabic words involved in Laki (the language of a part of the people of the west of Iran) in the framework of reproductive phonology. The method of work in this research is descriptive-analytical in which a limited number of words have been examined and have been transliterated based on IPA international transliteration. The results of the study indicate that the most important phonological processes in Arabic to Laki words are the process of omition, weakening, inserting vowel enhancement and recurrence. In the semantic study of words, it was found that some words such as " baua, hap, huz, hwal, Xef, zaqom, Rasan, etc." indicate the same Arabic meaning, some words such as "Lakh" have intensified their meaning and some words in Laki, like "Vera", they adhere to one of the past meanings of the Arabic language, which is in opposition to the modern meaning (in Arabic).

تعد الفرقة الزيدية من أهم الفرق المعارضة للدولة الأموية والعباسية وقد نسبت هذه الفرقة لشخص إمامها الأول زيد بن علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب(B)، بدأ الإنتشار الزيدي في العراق والمشرق مع إستشهاد زيد بن علي(B) (١٢٢هجري) في الكوفة، وابنه يحيى(١٢٥هجري)في الجوزجان ناحية المشرق، كما كان للدعاة والتلاميذ الدور الفاعل في إنتشار أفكار إمامهم زيد بن علي(B)،حتى أصبحت هناك قاعدة كبيرة له أخذ المذهب الزيدي بالتراجع في العراق والمشرق على حساب المذهب الإمامي، وكان للبويهيين الدور الكبير في ذلك، يضاف إليها غياب الدعاة الزيدية والإئمة الفاعلين على الساحة خاصة في القرن الرابع والخامس الهجري، زاد من الأمر ظهورأعداد كبيرة من منظري الإمامية خاصة بعد غياب إمامهم الثاني عشر، كان لسعي البويهيين في تقليص نفوذ الإئمة الزيدية سبباً أخر إذ تبنى هؤلاء المذهب الإمامي حتى لايقعوا تحت سلطة إمام خارج بالسيف ينقادون له .كان للتغيرات السياسية والإجتماعية التي عصفت في العراق وأيران سبباً في ضعف الفرقة الزيدية، فمع دخول السلاجقة الأتراك بدأت الحركات الشيعية تضعف بفعل البطش الشديد الذي أتبعه السلاجقة مع الفرق الأخرى، خاصة في فترة الحرب المذهبية منذ(٤٤٧_٤٤٩ هـ)فكانت من أعنف الفترات التي شهدها العراق وأيران،فقد تعرض التراث الشيعي ومؤلفاتهم للحرق والزوال وقبض على عدد كبير من علمائهم فغادر أغلب هؤلاء الى مناطق أكثر أماناً خاصة بلاد اليمن، وإتجهت أعداد من الناس لإعتناق المذهب الإمامي المستتر من البطش، كما كان لكثرة المدارس التي إنشأها السلاجقة ومنها المدارس النظامية سبباً في ضعف الوجود الزيدي المنافس في تلك الأنحاء

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most frequent infections in clinical practice. They are classified into uncomplicated UTIs and complicated UTIs. The majority of UTI cases are caused by a single bacterial agent. Diagnosis of UTIs is generally established based on urinalysis and urine culture and treated with appropriate antibiotics. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of uncomplicated recurrent UTI among adult females. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study conducted in the outpatient clinics of Al-Hilla Teaching Hospital and Babil Hospital for Maternity and Childhood during the period from February till June 2020. Data were collected using a specially designed questionnaire, and a total of 300 participants were included. Results: The overall prevalence of uncomplicated UTI was found to be 36%. The mean age of patients was 28.94 ± 7.42 years. Ninety percent of the patients were married. The proportion of recurrent UTI among married women was significantly higher than that among nonmarried women (P = 0.001), and recurrent UTI was significantly higher among women with family history of UTI (P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study concludes that the prevalence of uncomplicated UTI among adult females in Babylon governorate is 36%, with the majority of cases within the age group of 20–29 years. Recurrent UTI was found to be linked to marital status and positive family history.

Background: Researchers have investigated the relationship between the effect of emotional self-regulation with academic motivation, but the causal model of the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation, socioeconomic status with academic motivation: the mediating role of self-disability has been neglected. Aims: of the model was to model the relationships between cognitive emotion regulation, socioeconomic status, and academic motivation with the mediating role of self-expression among students. Method: The research was correlation and structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of all female high school students in district 2 of Tehran. The sample consisted of 270 individuals who were selected by simple random cluster sampling. 2009), Schwinger & Steinmeister Plasterer (ASHS) Academic Self-Disability Questionnaire (2011) and the Social Economic Database Questionnaire (1995-2007). Data were analyzed using skewness and elongation indices and correlation between model variables with correlation matrix. Results: Cognitive emotion regulation adjustment had a negative effect on self-handicapping and had a positive effect on socioeconomic status. It has a negative effect on intrinsic motivation and a positive effect on extrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and socioeconomic status has a negative effect on self-disability (P< 0/05). Conclusions: Self-disability in the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation, social base - Economic and academic motivation play a mediating role, in general the findings show that fashion The model presented in this study fits well with the model test results and can be used in research.

The research aims to study some of the human characteristics of the state of Singapore to know the impact of these characteristics on the strength of the state, its development and. The research included two aspects, theoretical and analytical, using the descriptive analytical method, force analysis method, as well as the historical method. The data was analyzed according to mathematical equations, including the size of the country's population, the extraction of the population growth rate and the concept of age structure, where some indicators related to this concept have been explained. The researcher reached a set of results, the most important of which were: that the population size of the state of Singapore in the period between (1970 - 2020) has been on a continuous increase since its independence. However, it has adopted a population policy that suits the area of ​​the state for the period (2010-2020). The increase continued to rise to reach (665,609, 7,570,240, and 861,7474 people) for the years (2030, 2040 and 2050), respectively. This is an indication of a real transformation of the demographic contribution, which constitutes a powerful factor that gives the state an influential position in international regional relations and a support for the demographic revolution despite the small area of ​​the Republic of Singapore. The results of the research also showed instability in population growth rates during the past fifty years, ranging between the lowest growth rate of 1.3% and the highest growth rate of 2.9% for the period between (1970 - 2020). Accordingly, the population increase in Singapore is not only related to natural increase, but is greatly affected by the factor of external migration, whose effects became clear during the last period of (2010-2020).

Children are natural engineers. Engineering design activities for preschoolers introduce practices and encourage scientific habits of mind. The "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013) highlight that crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas can not be mastered without engaging in scientific investigations and engineering practices. In light of this, the authors designed a series of activities, that are presented in this article, to introduce engineering practices and the engineering design process to preschool-age children. In this unit, the authors focus on engineering design as the main disciplinary core idea and chose Structure and Function as their main crosscutting concept. They heavily rely on the engineering design process and science and engineering practices to provide an opportunity for students to engage in authentic real-world applications. This series of activities is supported by the National Science Teachers Association's (NSTA's) key principles that guide science learning among young children. Specifically, that: (1) Children have the capacity to engage in scientific practices and develop understanding at a conceptual level; (2) Young children need multiple and varied opportunities to engage in science exploration and discovery; and (3) Young children develop science skills by engaging in experiential learning.

This study examines the pragmatic and stylistic elements of M. Crimp's play Attempts on Her Life. It focuses on how pragmatic elements and stylistic devices are applied to literary works, particularly dramatic text. This study aims at demonstrating how Grice's cooperative principle is flouted, highlighting the maxims that are most often flouted at both levels of interaction to achieve stylistic effects, and identifying which figures of speech are most frequently employed in the play. The study focuses on Grice's Cooperative Principle and the way it influences the stylistic devices represented by the figures of speech across two levels of interaction. It concludes that the maxims of quantity and manner are flouted more than the other maxims. Repetition and simile are the most dominant figures of speech in the play at the levels of character-character interaction and narrator-reader interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
