A Question Answering System (QAS) consists of three components are question processing, information retrieval, and answer selection. Question Answering Systems (QASs) are a distinct form of information retrieval. The most crucial aspect of QAS is deciding on the question type since it influences the other sections following. However, an important question-answering system requires a prominent question classification system. In the past, there are different methods to solve this problem, such as rule-based learning, and hybrid approaches. However, the problem with these methods is that the rules require a lot of effort to create and are very limited. In this study, the utilization of genetic algorithm and deep neural network techniques enhances the quality control problem-solving process. This research utilizes the UIUC dataset. This collection comprises 5452 questions designed for learning purposes and an additional 500 questions specifically intended for assessment. The suggested solution involves converting each query into a matrix, with each row representing the Word2vec of a word. Subsequently, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed to identify the most optimal features. Ultimately, a Convolutional Neural Network is utilized for classification, yielding a remarkable accuracy of 98.2% in our experimentation with the question dataset.","PeriodicalId":326824,"journal":{"name":"BASRA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE","volume":"57 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141280085","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}

A total of 75 multidrug-resistant S. aureus were isolated from 200 different clinical samples from patients in Arbil, Iraq. All isolates were tested for their resistance against ten different types of antimicrobials. Isolates were treated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by the disc diffusion method. Treated isolates were tested for their minimum minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by using the broth microdilution method. The antibacterial activity of nanoparticles against isolates significantly increased the zone 3.6±36 mm for AuNPs and 1.78±25 mm for AgNPs. All isolates were sensitive to Imipenem, Ceftriaxone, and Ciprofloxacin, whereas highest rate of was seen among Trimethoprim, Azithromycin, Amikacin, Tetracycline, Aztreonam, Pipracycline, and Vancomycin. The fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) result revealed that 0.91 was from Azithromycin with AgNPs and 1 from Vancomycin with AgNPs, while the FICI results for AuNPs were 0.94 for Vancomycin with AuNPs, 1 for Imipenem.

Most seriously ill COVID-19 patients had liver and renal failure. Our study examined liver and renal function in moderate and severe COVID-19 individuals. The study comprised 56 COVID-19 patients in Nineveh Governorate (32 men, 24 women). Their ages ranged between (30 and 65) years. These patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of the disease. The first group included 25 patients with mild disease, and the second included 31 patients with severe disease. Liver and kidney function and other biomarkers were measured. The results showed that all severe patients had a significant difference in alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin urea, and creatinine compared with mild patients (all p<0.0001 except creatinine, p= 0.014). Moreover, patients with severe disease were older than those with mild disease. Males were also more affected by Covid-19. We conclude that patients with COVID-19, especially those with severe disease, suffer from liver and kidney dysfunction. Therefore, the severity of this disease can be predicted by examining the levels of ALT, AST, bilirubin, urea, and creatinine. Moreover, the progression from mild to severe disease in COVID-19 patients can be predicted by the combination of ALT, AST, bilirubin, urea, and creatinine levels.","PeriodicalId":326824,"journal":{"name":"BASRA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE","volume":"43 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141276245","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}

It is one of the most prevalent neglected tropical diseases and the second most important human parasitic disease in the world, after malaria. Over 700 million people worldwide are at risk of infection, most of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa. While, children are especially vulnerable to the disease, Ogun State was rated as the most endemic state for schistosomiasis infection in Nigeria. Therefore, the epidemiology of Urinary Schistosomiasis among School-age children in Ogun State was conducted in this study. Midday urine samples were collected from 1,812 school-age children from ten selected Local Government Areas in Ogun State and were examined for the presence of haematuria (blood in urine) and Schistosoma haematobium ova. Out of the 1812 school-children examined, 92 (5.1%) tested positive for haematuria and 455 (25.1%) also tested positive for the presence of Schistosome ova. The highest infection prevalence rate (12.9%) was among female students infected with the parasite. The age group 10-12years had the highest rate of infection (12.2%), while the group 4-6 years had the lowest (1.3%) in the study areas. Therefore, urinary schistosomiasis is a major disease of major public health concern in Ogun State that requires prompt attention from relevant government and non-governmental agencies.","PeriodicalId":326824,"journal":{"name":"BASRA JOURNAL OF SCIENCE","volume":"44 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141281212","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}
