Staphylococci is gram-positive, spherical cells, they are commonly distributed in the environment often part of normal human flora. Staph. aureus, Staph. saprophyticus, and Staph. epidermidis are the three most significant clinically important pathogens. Cytokines are small secreted proteins (<40 kDa), which are produced by nearly every cell to regulate and affect immune response (96). Proinflammatory cytokines are proteins that have been associated with cell proliferation, differentiation, and changes in gene expression, and synthesis of matrix proteins important to cell growth and tissue repair, these proteins are often released in a cascade, where an initial release of TNF is followed first by IL-1 and then by IL-6. 110 clinical samples include 110 throat swap and 60 saliva samples were collected from tonsillitis patients in Kirkuk of both gender and different age groups. Sterile cotton swab were used for throat swab and sterile container for saliva collection. The results showed that Staphylococcus aureus scored highest percentage (59%), followed by Staph. hemolyticus (15%) compared to Staph. epidermidis that scored lowest percentage (2.4%). A sensitivity test was carried out for all bacterial isolates, Staphylococcus spp. showed high resistance to Cefotoxin (, Benzyle-pencillin (, Ampicillin-Sulbactam(, Oxacillin (, Ceftriaxone (, and Erythromycin(, while Staphylococcus spp. showed high sensitive to Linezolid (100%), Teicoplanin (100%), Vancomycin (100%), and Rifampicin (100%). Staph. aureus scored high mean levels at IL-6 (14.51±13.1 ng/L) compared with other Staphylococcus spp. (0.52±0.1 ng/L), while Staph. aureus scored (90.47±77.79 pg/ml) compared with other Staphylococcus spp. (113.0±79.9 pg/ml).

Developed recently to solve the shortcomings of traditional networks, software-defined networking is a new paradigm (SDN). Decoupling the control plane from the data plane, which is the SDN's core property, makes network management simpler and promotes effective programmability. The new design, on the other hand, is vulnerable to a number of attacks that could exhaust the system's resources and prohibit the SDN controller from offering services to authorized users. One of these threats, the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) assault is one that is gaining popularity. A DDoS assault has a severe negative effect on emphasize servers have no ability to access their network facilities as a result. accommodate legitimate users. We introduce DDoS Net, a DDoS attacks system for intrusion detection for SDN systems. Our approach is based on data mining software (Rapdiminer) and neural networks working along with auto encoders. As a result, we have a lot of faith in protecting these networks thanks to our methods. We assess the CICIDS 2019 dataset, which includes network behavior associated with DDoS threat and benign network activity, is publicly available, and satisfies certain requirements. It evaluates a variety of data mining algorithms' efficacy as well as internet usage characteristics to determine the best attributes for spotting the most typical assault kinds.

Background: In comparison to the broader public, Patients with diabetes are more likely to have elevated liver enzymes.Alcoholic hepatosteatosis that is not caused by alcohol is frequently seen in this syndrome.

Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study in the Kirkuk governorate of Iraq, 25 patients who are type 1 diabetes and 26 healthy individuals served as the control group. Both groups completed questionnaires that asked about their age, weight, body mass index (BMI), and checked their liver enzymes GOT, GPT, and ALT.

Results: The study discovered that 19 patients, or 76%, fell within the normal range (BMI 25), whereas 5 patients, or 20%, were overweight, and 1 patient, or 4%, was obese. The study also found no association between GPT and gender, but a strong substantial correlation between GOT and gender While there is no association between diabetes patients' gender and GPT. Additionally, this study demonstrated a high significant (P? 0.001) rise in ALP value (72.05±7.74) IU/L versus (62.4±7.38) IU/L for the control group, but a significant (P ? 0.05) rise in GOT (24.25±4.13) IU/L so GPT (31.8±6.1) IU/L values for patients compared with the control group(21.3±4.95 and 26.7±7.28 IU/L respectively).

Conclusion: The type 1 diabetic patients could be at danger for CVD due to possible obesity. GOT, GPT, and ALP values were elevated in the sick set than in healthy group. Male patients had higher GOT and GPT enzyme levels than female patients.

The 2-(1-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-5-methoxy-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-N'-(4-methylbenzylidene)acetohydrazide ( (IB) was synthesized through the condensation of hydrazide derived from indomethacin with 4-methyl benzaldehyde. Additionally, the complexes obtained from the ligand were characterized by infrared, UV-visible, 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, atomic absorption, molar conductance, and magnetic susceptibility. Measurements have shown that the ligand behaves as a bidentated ligand and is coordinated to the central metal ion through the oxygen atom for the carbonyl group and the nitrogen atom for the azomethine group. The structure of the ligand and complexes was confirmed. With the exception of the copper complex, which has an octahedral geometry, all of the complexes have adopted a tetrahedral geometry.

Thiatriazole is an important monomer, whereby it have two types of functional groups, amine and thiol. Within the frame of this work the triazole monomer have been prepared from its oxadiazole. Two type of polymers were prepared from this monomer via condensation with terephthaldehyde and succinyl chloride, whereby the binding units of the resulted polymers are differs, azomethine and amide respectively. Infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis were used to identified the polymers. DTA, TGA and DSC analysis indicate the thermal history of the polymers. It was shown that polymer (1) was more flexibility than polymer (2) due to the lower Tg value due to the presence of azomethene group. The Tg are (138oC) and (190oC) respectively. Also the DTA, TGA indicates that polymer (2) have high thermal stability than polymer 1 due the presence of the amide group.

The primary focuses of investigation have been and continue to be strategies for traffic management at intersections and measures to enhance road safety. An essential remedy for this issue is a Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET). At VANET, a variety of protocols are used to route communications between vehicles. At this research, we utilize the Multipath Dynamic Optimized Routing Algorithm (MDORA), which is an acronym for position-based maximum distance on-demand routing. By choosing the vehicle closest to the destination vehicle, this protocol has the advantage of choosing the next best jumping path, which lowers the number of hops. In two scenarios—vehicle travel at a dynamic speed and constant speed—this paper compares the MDORA and AODV protocols. three standards: Factors including the time spent on communication, the pace at which packets are delivered, and the time it takes for information to travel from one end to another, were used to assess how well the two protocols performed. Finally, a comparison of the number of missed packets between the MDORA and AODV protocols was done for moving vehicles at constant and dynamic speeds, The MDORA protocol can identify the optimal route even when cars are moving at varying speeds, resulting in minimal packet loss.
