The artificial radioactive contamination produced, namely by nuclear accident as happened by the Chernobyl, especially artificial radionuclide pollution. Due to having a long half-life, it still continues to remain in soil. This study measured radioactivity concentrations of and calculated the absorbed dose rate and the annual effective dose rate for for soil samples from different locations in Zintan City and Awiniya Region, Libya. The activity concentration of radionuclide was measured by gamma spectrometry using HPGe detector. The outdoor annual effective dose rate was found below the worlds average level comparison with ICRP. It is concluded that soil contamination by artificial radionuclide does not pose radiation hazards in the investigated areas.

Aim: To assess the fear of corona in the colleges students at University of Basrah, Bab Al-Zubair campus. Methodology: The present study carried out at University of Basrah, Bab Al-Zubair campus. A convenient sample of (400) students, males (168) and females (232) were selected for the purpose of the study. A Closed-end questions questionnaire was used for the purpose of data collection, it contains two parts, the first part related to Socio-demographic characteristics of the students and include: age, gender, the educational stage, type of the study, occupational status, and marital status. The second part consists of 14 questions that are concerned with students fear from COVID-19. Standardized 3- points Likert scale including: YES, NO, and SOMEWAHT. The already performed questionnaire forma was distributed to 400 students were they read the forma and answer them, the forma then collected by the researchers, each forma was scored according to the right typical answer. Analysis was made by using SPSS (Statistical package for Social Sciences) version 23, data was expressed in (frequency and percentage). Correlations were used to examine the association between different variables. Results: Most of the students were at age interval from 18 years to 24 years, the females are more than males in participating in our study. Most of our participant were from the morning study. Most of the sample of the students did not have job other than being students. Most of the students answer the questionnaire in wright way. There was high significant correlation between scoring and the students stage, and also there were significant correlation between scoring and student’s occupation.

Objective: The postnatal development of the suprarenal glands, liver, kidney in mice was examined in this work using histological and histochemical techniques. For this reason, it is acceptable to use mice in scientific study. Materials and methods: Thirty two samples of mices suprarenal gland, liver, and kidney; eight at each age were used in the experiment (one day, seven day, fourteen day, twenty one day). Results: The adrenal glands were enclosed in a well-developed capsule, the cortex was divided in the glomerulosa, fasciculate, and reticularis areas, and the medulla consisted of large, pale-stained hexagonal cells arrangements in tiny anastomosing strings had together by a reticular fiber and divided through sinusoids in all ages with varying thickness of the layers. When the first day of life; liver was enclosed in a thin capsule; after 14 to 21 days, it was enclosed in a thick capsule. The parenchyma consisted of hepatocytes, which were surrounded by a central vein. The sinusoids further divided the parenchyma, with Kupffer cells protruding next to the endothelial cells that bordered the hepatic sinusoids. Depending on the age, the liver measurements changed. There was a modest amount of collagen fiber covering the kidney. Renal corpuscles are classified as cortex, midcortical, or juxtamedullary; as they age, their diameter increases. Proximal convoluted tubules are the longest; they have a brush border and are surrounded by cuboidal epithelial tissue; distal convoluted tubules are shorter. Additionally, henle loops were long at some ages but short at one-day and adult ages. The corpuscle and nephron lumens were bigger in adults. In contrast, there were less collagen fibers in the thick renal capsule and gap in other age groups.

the main aim of this study is to evaluate The Effect of Firm Type on the Relationship between Accounting Quality and Trade Credit in Iraqi listed firms. In this research, the dependent variable is trade credit, which is accounts payable divided by total assets (Petersen& Rajan, 1997; Giannetti et al., 2011; Ke, 2015). The independent variable is accounting quality, which is calculated by three indicators, including profit sustainability, profit predictability as well as real earnings management, for which we used Kormendi& Lipe (1987), Francies et al. (2004) and Roychowdhury (2006) models respectively. The data is based on a sample of 35 firms from 2011 to 2016. During this period, between 2011 and 2013 we have financial crisis – ISIS[1] entered Iraq – and between 2014 and 2016 we have the period after the crisis. Our hypotheses are run by panel data on STATA14 software. The results show that the effect of firm type on the relationship between firm sustainability and trade credit is not significant; the moderating effect of firm type on the relationship between profit predictability and trade credit is not significant; and the moderating effect of firm type on the relationship between real earnings management and trade credit is significant-positive.
