Physicochemical analysis of the soil before and after irrigation with the domestic waste water from the cafeteria showed the presence of the following: pH 7.4 and 6.65, conductivity 488 and 792 respectively. Dissolved mineral contents were found in the following order: Cl>Ca>Fe>SO 4 >Mg>Cu>K>Pb>PO 3 while heavy metals of Hg, As and Cd were found at below detectable limit range (BDL) in both the irrigated and non-irrigated soil. Total organic matter (TOM) and total organic carbon (TOC) contents were found at 91.66, 22.05 and 76.85, 179.93 in the various treatments, respectively. BOD 5 of the waste water was found at 5.2mg/ml with initial dissolved oxygen concentrations at 6.2 mg/ml. Dissolved mineral concentrations such as Cl, Ca, Mg, PO 3 , Cu, Fe and SO 4 were found richly in abundance. Heavy metals such as Pb was found in trace quantity were as Cd, As and Hg were found in non-detectable range. TDS, TSS and TS were recorded at 23036, 396.5 and 23433. Analysis of soil enzymes showed the activity of the lipase, urease, peroxidase and catalase with corresponding OD reading of 0.403, 0.611, 0.652 and 0.817 respectively. There was an increase of lipase, urease and peroxidase after the irrigation with the waste with OD of 0.610, 0.677 and 0.712 respectively while catalase activity was reduced.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":"37 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The participants in the current study include 45 healthy people (mean age = 62.03±12.3 yrs.) who serve as a comparison group and 65 subjects with subjectively diagnosed colon cancer (mean age = 64.03±12.2 yrs.). The serum UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2B17, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and Vitamin C levels were among the determined biochemical markers . When colon cancer patients were compared to the control group, UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2B17 levels were significantly higher (P < 0.0001).

We used gamma-spectroscopy with an (HPGe) detector to estimate the specific activities of natural ( 226 Ra, 232 Th, 40 K) and artificial ( 137 Cs) radionuclides in the soil of Badoosh cement plant. The results show that the mean value of specific activity of 226 Ra is (12.78±1.035Bq/kg), and for 232 Th the mean value is (16.142±0.74 Bq/kg), and for 40 K it was (153.903±4.98 Bq/kg), and the mean value for 137 Cs is (0.6351±0.18 Bq/kg). Radiological hazard indices were determined according to the activity concentration of the radionuclides in the area under study. The mean value of radium equivalent (Ra eq ) is (47.719 Bq/kg), while the mean value of absorbed dose (D γ ) is (22.074 nGy/h). The values were measured for the indoor equivalent annual effective dose (AEDE in ) and outdoor equivalent (AEDE out ), the mean value of (AEDE in ) is (108.288 μSv/y), and the mean value of (AEDE out ) is (27.072 μSv/y), and the mean value of the excess life time cancer risk (ELCR) is (94.752 10 -6 ). When measuring the external (H ex ) and internal (H in ) radiological indices, the mean value for (H ex ) is (0.174) and the mean value for (H in ) is (..165). While the mean value for gamma radiation index (I γ ) is (0.349). The mean value of the annual gonadal dose equivalent (AGDE) is (155.306 μSv/y) and the mean value of the ambient dose equivalent rate H*(10) is (29.236 nSv/h). The radiological hazard Indices were within the internationally accepted limits recommended by UNSCEAR; thus, it can be concluded that there are no radiological hazards due to the direct and continuous exposure of radiation on working workers in this cement plant and organisms that live in this region.","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":"10 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140358789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this method, p-aminobenzoic acid reagent was diazotized with an equimolar NaNO 2 (sodium nitrite) solution in the existence of HCl (hydrochloric acid) to produce corresponding diazonium salt subsequently coupling with tetracycline hydrochloride in a basic solution of NH 4 OH to produce a yellow azo dye which was water soluble and has a maximum absorption at 422 nm versus a reagent blank. Under optimal conditions, the linearity of Beer's law was estimated to cover the concentration range of 0.25-17.5 µ g/ml with an exceptional determination coefficient (R 2 = 0.9993) and molar absorptivity of 1.66×10 4 l/mol.cm. The calculated values of detection limit (LOD) and quantitation limit (LOQ) were equal to 0.012 and 0.040 µ g/ml, respectively. The values of error percentage and precision (RSD%) ranges were calculated and found in the range of -0.08% to 3.3% and 0.16% to 1.59%, respectively.

In the current study, we evaluated the chemical composition of the fruit of Capparis spinosa L. ( C. spinosea L.), as well as the antibacterial, and potential inhibitory effects of the dehydrogenase enzyme (LDH). The presence of the active chemicals in the extract was confirmed by phytochemical screening and characterization techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS), ultraviolet (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The outcomes demonstrated the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, and vitamins in the aqueous extract. Moreover, the extract exhibited anti-bacterial activity, especially against gram-negative bacteria. In contrast, the concentrations of the aqueous extract possessed the activity of inhibiting the dehydrogenase enzyme at a concentration of 0.13 mmo l/L. The study concluded that C.spinosea L. fruit aqueous extract contains biologically active compounds that could be used in the inhibition processes of both antibacterial and as well as inhibitors of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH).","PeriodicalId":20803,"journal":{"name":"Rafidain journal of science","volume":"1 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140359229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
