The main results could be summarized as follows: The combination of potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus levels affected the yield of the chickpea plant significantly. Also, the maximum yield recorded in the treatment combination (K2N1P2) was (1.55 Mg ha-1). In comparison, the lowest mean value (0.73 Mg ha-1) was recorded from the treatment combination (K0N0P0).

The white blood cells, particularly T lymphocytes, are the main effectors in defense against viral infections. This study was performed to investigate the response of white blood cells to the infection of SARS-COV-2 at the early stage of the disease. T cells decreased in number in the circulation, but this decrease was not associated with an impairment of their activity. Moreover, stimulation of virus-infected T cells with nonspecific mitogen revealed increased cell proliferation. This study concluded that T lymphocytes are highly activated during SARS-COV-2 infection, despite lymphopenia, at least at the early stages of the disease.

Gingivitis has been reported to be the most common oral manifestation during pregnancy, most likely due to an exaggerated inflammatory response to the dental plaque. This study aims to investigate oral hygiene and salivary IgA concerning gingival conditions in pregnant women. In this study, the total sample included was 80 women. The study group consisted of 40 pregnant women: 20 females in the first and 20 in the third trimester, while the control group included 40 non-pregnant women. Between 9 and 11 a.m., unstimulated saliva was collected. The rate of salivary flow and concentration of salivary immunoglobulin A were measured. Dental plaque, calculus and gingivitis were assessed. Results demonstrated that plaque, calculus and gingival indices were higher in a pregnant group, with significant differences in plaque index only. In contrast, salivary flow rate was lower in pregnant women with no significant difference. Salivary IgA was the highest level in the pregnant group during the third trimester, with no statistical difference. In conclusion, the pregnant women revealed a poor oral hygiene status and alteration in salivary parameters, leading to an increased prevalence of gingivitis in pregnant women.

Therefore, the effect of enzymatic tempering on flour yield and quality of the resulting flour was investigated in the present study, where different concentrations of cellulase enzyme were used at (24, 60, 96) units / 100 gm of wheat, and the concentration 60 units / 100 gm of wheat gave the best results, The results of the statistical analysis witnessed a significant increase in the extraction rate (Flour yield), which amounted to 74.6% for the enzymatic conditioning, compared to the control treatment, which was 70%, and a significant decrease in the percentage of fibers with an increase in the concentration of the enzyme, so it reached 0.78% for the enzymatic conditioning compared with the control treatment, which was 1.44%., There was an insignificant increase in the proportion of ash and, protein and carbohydrates, and the degree of flour color was not affected by the increase in the enzyme concentration.

This study was conducted in the animal field and laboratories of the Department of Animal Production, College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Baghdad in Jadiriyah, from November 15, 2021 to April 25, 2022. Three local Awassi rams were used in this experiment. Their ages ranged from 2.5-3.0 years. The semen was collected from them by artificial vagina by one ejaculation/ram/week for 8 weeks. The semen of rams has been mixed in order to eliminate individual differences. The following tests were conducted to evaluate the semen characteristics for each motility, the percentage of viability sperm, total abnormalities, the integrity of the plasma membrane, and the acrosome's integrity. The current study showed that adding an aqueous extract from the leaves of the artichoke plant (Cynara scolymus L.) improved most of the studied traits when stored in preservation. The results indicated a highly significant (P<0.01) for the treatments T1, T2 and T4, which amounted to (87.00 ± 1.86, 85.50 ± 2.02 and 86.87 ± 0.78%) compared to the control group (C), which amounted to (77.25 ± 2.11%), While the previous treatments did not differ significantly with treatment T3, which amounted to (81.87 ± 2.94%) in the percentage of live sperm during the 0 hour preservation period. At the same time, the results indicated no significant differences between treatments T1, T2, T3 and T4 compared to the control treatment and for all periods (0, 24, 48 and 72 hours) in the individual motility of the sperm. As for measuring the biochemical traits of seminal plasma, The results of AST and ALT enzymes indicated that there was no significant increase between treatments during one period, while an arithmetic superiority occurred after 72 hours of preservation for treatments T1, T2, T3 and T4 compared with the 0 hour preservation period.
