Abstract: This study aims to measure the level in achieving the sustain development in countries under study by using the mathematic way in accounting the sustain development references and measuring the effective factors on some sustain development references by using the standard economical method in analyzing as it is the major economic transformations and the resulting economic growth at high rates in light of the negligence of usability standards and principles of economic resources, social and cultural life and its effects on natural resources, climate and its object and high economic costs of natural disasters and industrial waste and waste costs, the costs of climate change, the costs of breach of biodiversity and ecological balance, desertification costs of waste and the commercial exploitation of the resource- intensive industrial and agricultural) and this led to the concept of development and associated changes and economic growth in order to adopt policies of sustainable development and sustainable growth and are in Atarhma the rational use of resources and the preservation of life, climate, wealth and observance of human generations subsequent extension of the utilization of available resources. this researcher concluded that the sample countries have made achievements differentiated towards achieving sustainable developments as Jordan had the highest proportion of the total (100%) of the indicators sustainable development, followed by Syria and then Egypt, Morocco, and they (42.7, 39.4, 38.6, 23.5) respectively. But those achievements do not represent the required level, as the independent variable varied in its impact on some indicators of sustainable development, namely, (the proportion of total investment hard to GDP, the proportion of exports of good and services to imports of goods and services, the unemployment rate) for the sample countries

Abstract: There was many Opinions that studied the impact of policies of economic globalization in the grain trade strategy in developing countries, some of these pointed out that the policies of globalization, a big benefit in the economies of developing countries and in the grain trade strategy in these countries as it helps them to see the international economic decision and increase the interest standard specifications as well as other benefits can be utilized in various economic fields. Other opinions pointed out that the policies of economic globalization worked to lower the share of grain exports strategy of developing its gross domestic product increased its imports which brings the rate of trade in non-interest of developing countries, the opposite of its impact on the poor distribution of national income on national and global levels, which increased the under development of developing countries and contributed to the progress of developed countries; In this regard our study adopted on the premise that the policies of economic globalization have different impacts in the grain trade strategy in developing countries by the nature of their economic structures and efficiency of their systems to deal with these policies, in order to prove the hypothesis of this search we studied on a sample of developing countries including (Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey), where four strategy crops is (wheat, barley, rice, corn), had been selected and which has been relying on time-series data in the estimation of the phenomenon under Find and each country individually they reflect changes in the grain trade strategy according to their characteristics and attributes differ from one country to another.

Abstract: Desertification and its impact on the situation of agriculture and vegetation in Iraq in period form (1980-2010). Mesopotamia J. of Agric., Vol. (43) No. (1) 2015: 33-41. The wilderness is a dangerous environmental phenomenon, as well as it has became the most dangerous challenges which have faced the humanity in this century, because its negative effects on many countries especially these areas which have arid, or semi arid, and even semi humid climate, so this study has aimed to show the reasons and factors for this problem, where the economic and natural factors have played great role in existing this phenomenon the wild areas in Iraq have amounted (38,5%), and threatened with wilderness have amounted (54,4%) from the total area of Iraq. The problem of this research has included growing and increasing these wilderness & threatened with wilderness areas because of the negative effects (not appropriate) for the mentioned factors. This research has gained its importance from this situation which witnessed increasing the size of wilderness and its effect on the reduced agricultural production, losing of the cultivated areas, and its effect on the environment and the other social & economic conditions. In regard of increasing the size of wilderness in Iraq, a serious facing to prevent this problem must be taken, putting the solutions and treatments of it. Thus this study has depended on a hypothesis to the effect that there are several economic and natural (human) factors are contributing with different effects in growing the wilderness areas in Iraq during (1980_2010). This research aims to identify the nature of wild areas, its forms, and reasons in Iraq, the quantitative measurement for the factors impacting on this phenomenon in Iraq, and showing the different effects of this phenomenon, in addition to show the methods of treating the wilderness in Iraq. Conclusions have been reached are follows: Iraq is suffering from deficiency of water, therefore the farmers have resorted to use non beneficial water to irrigate the crops, and there are declining in plant cover because of the arid conditions, human factors, mismanagement of soil and water, arbitrary posturing, and the dust. The study has reached to several recommendations such as: educating of farmers to interest with agricultural lands, their production, and how treating with them through holding the seminars, field visits, prohibiting the wrong methods, committing with water rationed instruments for each crops to limit the problem of salts, encouraging to make repellents to protect the planted and postured areas, and more interesting with plant cover.

Abstract: The ectoparasitic nematode Xiphinema index Thorne and Allen is economically important in grapes Vitis vinifera L., both as a root parasite and as a vector for grapevine fan leaf virus (GFLV). The control of GFLV vector is one of the main strategies of the disease management. The using of nematicides and soil amendments is one of traditional methods for nematode controlling. The objective of this research was to evaluate the nematicidal effect of the nematicide Vyox, poultry manure and salicylic acid for controlling Xiphinema index on grapevines. The nematicidal was evaluated determining the nematode population densities in 200 ml of soil. The results revealed that both of nematicide Vyox and poultry manure have a significant activity against X. index 15.6 and 162.4 respectively compare to the positive control 557.4 nematode/200ml soil. The best results were obtained from the combination between nematicide Vyox, poultry manure and salicylic acid which significantly reduced X. index populations (P<0.05)  compare to the single treatments and positive control.

Abstract: A Field survey conducted in 2012 revealed the occurrence of olive knot disease in Nineveh Province. The highest infection rate and infection degree were 29% and 1.8 degree respectively in Al-Fadhiliya, while the lowest infection rate was 8.4% in Barima and lowest infection degree was 0.8 in Al-Shallallat. As for all the scanned areas in the province we observe that an average percentage of  infection rate was 15.08% and infection degree was 1.2. Isolation and diagnosis of olive knot disease in Al-Fadhiliya resulted in that a single pure bacterial colonies caused by (Pss) bacteria. Pathogenicity test results on Baashiqi cultivar  of olive trees cuttings revealed detection of knots. Screening of eight olive cultivars  showed the variance of these cultivars  in number and diameter of the knots in the first and second readings. The most susceptible cultivars were (Baashiqi, Manzilino, Arbequina and Ashrasi) the infection rate were (2.33, 2.30, 2.12, 2.10, 3.17, 2.90, 2.86, 2.83) respectively. These cultivars did not differ significantly. The less affected cultivars in the number of knots was (Sourani) where the infection rate was 0.70 and 1.00 knots, compared to (Khodeiri) type that showed no infection in both first and second readings. The disease affect in the knot diameter average showed that (Manzilino) was the most  susceptible, because of developed knots to 10.19 and 12.41 mm for both readings respectively. Followed by (Baashiqi) 9.10 and 11.10 mm for both readings. The less average of knot diameter was (Sourani) cultivar  share rate was 3.65 and 4.06 mm respectively both readings..

Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the effect of breed, Body Condition Score (BCS) and age on some economic traitsof local flock’s ewes. The ewes studied in the present investigation represent three local breeds (53 karadi, 44 Awassi and 47 Mamesh) bred in Erbil plain during the period from January/ 2009 to June /2010.The results showed a highly significant breed effect (p <0.01) on all the studied traits. Mamesh ewes surpassed both Karadi and Awassi ewes in milk yield (102.269, 88.254 and 92.684 kg), respectively, besides the lambs of the same breed were superior in birth weight (4.885kg) and weaning weight (27.612kg) compared with karadi and Awassi lambs. Greasy fleece weights of the Karadi, Awassi and Mamesh ewes were 2.220, 1.829 and 2.585kg respectively. The superiority of Mamesh ewes were found to be highly significant (p <0.01). The study also revealed that the (BCS) exerts an important effect on milk yield, greasy fleece weight and birth weight. Ewes with (BCS) 4 showed a higher milk yield (102.883kg) as comparing with ewes having (BCS) 3(95.083kg) and that having (BCS) 2 (86.391kg) .Correlation coefficient highly significant (p <0.01) between birth weight and milk yield was 0.32and between birth weight and weaning weight was 0.38and between ewes body weight and greasy fleece weight was 0.43.

Abstract: A man of 42 yare, from Merga -Sur village (135km to the northwest of Erbil city, Kurdistan Region, Iraq) was complaining of the presence a small white fragments in his stool. Morphological examination of these piceces, macroscopically and confirmed that the patient was affected with the broad fish tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum which is causediphyllobothriasis. He was treated with antihelminthes (praziquantel, 10mg / Kg single dose) in the hospital.

Abstract: In this experiment, the means of the six populations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2) of each of two bread wheat crosses; Mexipak × Acsad- 8 and Ipa- 99 × Attla were used to estimate gene effects, component of variance and heterosis for some quantitative traits viz: Plant height, days to heading, flag leaf area, spike length, spikes/plant, grains no./spike, biomass yield/plant, grain yield/plant and harvest index. These generations were produced during two growing seasons, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. The generations were grown in a Randomized Complete Block Design with six replications at the Research Field of the College of Agriculture, Salahaddin University, Erbil, Iraq. Genetic analysis was performed using the joint scaling test based on three and six parameter models. The results revealed that inheritance of the traits could not be explained by additive-dominance model. Additive and dominance gene effects were significant for most traits in both crosses due to different origins of the parents. The values of (dominance × dominance) were greater than (additive × additive) and (additive × dominance) of most studied traits in both crosses in addition to greater values of dominance gene effect than the additive in most traits. It was suggested that selection all of them should be effective in advanced segregating generations due to epistatic gene effects. High narrow and broad sense heritability (0.94) was obtained for flag leaf area in Mexipak × Acsad- 8 cross, while high narrow sense heritability (0.86) and high broad sense heritability (0.98) were obtained for spike length and flag leaf area in Ipa- 99 × Attla, so the early generation testing and selection might be recommended for these traits. Heterosis was found to be positive for most traits in both crosses.

Abstract: Eighty Hundred individual's morning and evening milk samples were collected from sixteen Iraqi merize goat mothers for five weeks (35 days) milking and lactating period at spring season with climate temperature ranged between 14-23°C. Milk samples were analyzed for fat, protein, lactose, total solids (TS), and solid nonfat (SNF) percentages, and pH value. The general average of merize goat's milk composition were 3.91, 3.39, 4.60 , 85.52, 8.84, and 12.81% for fat, protein, lactose, water, SNF, and TS respectively. While the pH value was 6.73 at milking time. Those milk chemicals constituents were affected by the Merize goat age. Which affect all the milk chemical constituents, while the pH value was not affected with the goat's age. The fat and lactose of goat's milk distribution along the lactating period were elevated from the first week to the maximal values 4.95 and 4.73% respectively in the second and third weeks for fat and lactose alternatively, and then declined to the minimum values 3.31 and4.44% respectively at the fifth week of lactating period. While the milk water content was adversely proportional to the protein, SNF, and TS percentages. The water percent elevated from the minimum value 83.10% in the first week to the maximum value 87.25% in the fifth week, while the protein, SNF and TS were declined from the maximum values 3.78, 9.38, and 14.16% respectively in the first week to the minimum values 3.25, 8.42, and 11.20% respectively in the fifth week. The milk pH distribution value was elevated from 6.71 in the first to the maximum value 6.78 at the third week then declined to the minimum value 6.66 at the fifth week along the studied lactating period.

Abstract: This study was conducted for examine the histological effects of aflatoxin and Toxoplasma gondii on some organs like liver, heart, kidney and brain in mice. Were , mice divided into six equal groups; group 1 (untreated control), group 2 were injected intraperitonealy with T. gondii tissue cysts, group 3 fed diets contaminated with 0.5 ppm of aflatoxin, group 4 were fed diets contaminated with 1 ppm aflatoxin, group 5 were fed 0.5 ppm of aflatoxin and injected with T. gondii cysts and group 6 were fed 1 ppm aflatoxin with injected T. gondii tissue cysts. The experiment maintained for 40 days. At the end of the experiment, histological changes were increased specially at groups 5 and 6 including necrosis and lymphocytic infiltration, there are significantly increased in the level of MDA and significantly decrease of GSH level in liver tissue specially in groups (2) and (4) as compared with group (1) normal healthy control.
