The study aims to identify the perceptions of tenth grade students in public schools in Jerash governorate regarding vocational education. The study used the descriptive survey method. The sample of ...the study consisted of (300) students, The study was applied to them. The study found that the level of perceptions of tenth grade female students in public schools in Jerash governorate regarding vocational education was high. The study also showed the existence of statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) due to the effect of the student’s achievement level in favor of high, and the existence of statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) attributed to the effect of the parent’s education level in favor of a bachelor and above, and the existence of relevant differences Statistical significance at the level of significance (α = 0.05) attributed to the effect of the average household income, and the differences came in favor of each of (500-1000) dinars, and more than (1000) dinars. The study presented a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: Raising the level of awareness of society groups as a whole, its institutions, the educational community and its institutions of the importance of vocational education in general, and directed at females in particular. Raising awareness of female students in the basic stage of the essence of vocational education through the media, advisory bulletins, field visits and trips to colleges and vocational institutes.
The study aims to identify the perceptions of vocational education among tenth grade female students from public schools in Jerash Governorate in Jordan. The study also sought to determine if there ...were significant differences in participants’ responses due to student achievement level, level of parent education, and family income. The study used a descriptive survey method. The study sample consisted of (300) female students who were randomly selected from public schools in the city of Jerash in Jordan. To achieve the study objectives, a questionnaire was developed to measure the perceptions of 10th grade students about vocational training. The questionnaire included 25 Likert-like items with satisfactory psychometric properties. Statistical methods used to answer the study questions were: means and standard deviations, frequencies and percentages, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffe test, and Cronbach alpha coefficient. The study found that the level of perceptions of tenth grade female students of vocational education came to a high degree. The study showed that there were statistically significant differences due to the effect of students’ achievement level favoring higher levels. The results also indicated significant differences due to the effect of the level of education of the parents in favor of BA degree or above, and due to the effect of average household income. The researcher recommends raising the level of awareness of society and its institutions of the importance of vocational education in general, especially the education directed to females.

•Aqueous Enterococcus (Gram +) &Proteus mirabilis (Gram −) bacteria are photodegrded.•ZnO nanoparticles partly inactivate both aqueous bacteria in the dark.•With solar simulated light ...ZnO catalyzes complete inactivation of bacteria in 30 min.•Bacterial mineralization is photocatalyzed by ZnO in 4 h leaving no organics.
ZnO nanoparticles have been effectively used in water disinfection from two common types of gram-positive (Enterococcus faecium) and gram–negative (Proteus mirabilis) bacteria under simulated solar radiations by inactivation. Complete mineralization of organic contents that leach out of inactivated bacteria has also been achieved leaving no soluble organic matter in water. Bacterial inactivation and complete mineralization have been confirmed by plate counting, high performance liquid chromatography and total organic content measurement. Effects of different reaction parameters (pH, temperature, bacterial concentration, reaction time and ZnO catalyst loading) have all been studied. Control experiments with Cut-off filters confirm the role of the UV tail in solar simulated light in the photocatalytic process. The results highlight the feasibility of using ZnO photocatalyst in complete disinfection of water from both hazardous Enterococcus and Proteus mirabilis bacteria, leaving no organic matters after degradation.
The importance of the study stems from the fact that Iraq’s economy is facing a housing crisis, especially in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, great demographic pressure due to pronounced population ...growth over the past two decades. The Central Bank of Iraq undertakes several initiatives represented in granting real estate loans, mainly through the Real Estate Bank at very low interest, and in the last two years, the interest has become zero. The purpose of the study is to analyze the fiscal implications of the Iraqi central bank’s real estate initiatives, as well as its real impact on the spatial dimension of the Iraqi governorates through new housing in those governorates. Using data mainly from the Central Bank of Iraq’s bulletins, the study obtained a 6-year sample of study variables for 15 Iraqi governorates. Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) was used to test such repercussions. One of the study’s findings is that the greatest impact of the Iraqi central bank’s real estate initiative was the fiscal and real repercussions for the year 2021, and the highest relative impact was in Baghdad governorate, with fiscal and real returns distinct from the rest of the governorates. One of the conclusions reached is that the strength of the fiscal repercussion was more important, more significant, and stronger than the real impact of the initiatives of the Central Bank of Iraq. Similarly, it was concluded that Baghdad was the first governorate that benefited from the effects of the initiative.
This paper investigates the interaction between fiscal and monetary policy in Iraq after 2003 using the prisoner’s dilemma.The paper aims to determine the best form of coordination between these ...policies to achieve their goals; payoff matrix for both policies was constructed. To achieve the purpose, the quantitative approach was applied using several methods, including regression, building payoff matrices and decision analysis using a number of software.The results of the monetary policy payment function show that inflation rate has an inverse relationship with the auctions of selling foreign currency and a positive relationship with the government’s activity, while the fiscal policy function shows that real growth is positively related to price levels (the inverted Phillips curve) and correlates with the government’s activity. After using the Gambit Solution to determine the Nash balance, which is achieved through the expansion strategies of both policies to confirm the results, the Promethee-Gaia method was used for multi-criteria decision making. When the two policies interact with similar forces (50% each), the best decision is one of the expansionary strategies that help achieve their main objectives in the short and long term, represented by price stability and economic growth.The main conclusion is that the best way to achieve the goals of economic policy in Iraq is that the coordination of procedures between the two policies should be expansionary, since the Iraqi economy needs to be stimulated due to the under-exploitation of many its sectors, such as agriculture and industry.
Aluminum chloride (AlCl

Herein, their effects on the molecular structure of lipids and the morphology of ...the hippocampus brain tissue were investigated. Three groups of Wistar albino male rats were used in this study. For four weeks, one group was kept as a control group; the second group was given AlCl

The FTIR spectra revealed considerable decreases in the CH contents and alterations in the molecular ratios of olefinic&z.dbd;CH/ν

could cause a shrinking of around 16% in the hippocampus pyramidal cells; besides, CoQ10 is a powerful therapeutic antioxidant to help restore the hippocampal neurons to a regular state.
Although the AlCl

affected the molecular structure of lipids and the morphology of the brain hippocampus cells, the CoQ10 showed a powerful therapeutic antioxidant being helped restore the hippocampal neurons to their normal state.
