In the evolving landscape of healthcare, understanding the potential interactions between pharmaceutical drugs and food is imperative yet often overlooked. This study aimed to assess pharmacists' knowledge of food-drug interactions (FDI) in Erbil city, focusing on comprehension, risk factors, counseling practices, and familiarity with drug databases. Conducted through a survey-based approach, the research involved 100 pharmacists from varying educational backgrounds, sampled purposively from Doctors Street in Erbil. Data collection occurred over two months via a self-administered questionnaire comprising 34 questions covering basic FDI awareness and advanced topics. Results indicate a correlation between higher education levels and a deeper understanding of FDI, particularly in recognizing specific drug-nutrient interactions. Nonetheless, knowledge gaps persist, underscoring the complexity of FDI comprehension. Intriguingly, pharmacists with institute certificates exhibited nuanced understanding in certain scenarios, challenging assumptions about the linear relationship between education and awareness. The study emphasizes the necessity for targeted interventions in pharmaceutical education to address these nuances effectively. These findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on FDI awareness among pharmacists, highlighting the importance of continuous education to ensure optimal patient care, treatment efficacy, and safety.

Quality control charts are based on data that is also used for various statistical analyses, such as regression, time series analysis, and other types of analyses. This implies that the data used to create these charts may contain outliers, potentially compromising their accuracy. To eliminate any potential noise or pollution from the data, a researcher proposed using wavelet shrinkage with a threshold and comparing the resulting data with Shewart's individual chart. Based on this, a new quality control chart was proposed and built using a universal approach for assessing the level of thresholding, representing the individual chart for wavelet haar with soft and hard thresholding. Following that, a comparison was performed between them as well as with Shewart's individual chart. This letter's most significant conclusion is that, in addition to using two real data points—triglyceride, which was recorded by a laboratory blood analyzer in Al-Jumhuri and at the specialized Center for Cardiology Hospital in Erbil Governorate—it may be possible to use wavelet shrinkage with a threshold to address issues of noise or pollution when Shewart's individual chart was made and used. Moreover, the wavelet method effectively reduces deviation, as demonstrated in both sets of data.

In this paper impedance matching, using tuning stubs of different types and forms are designed and analyzed using Mathcad Software. The aim of this paper is impedance matching which is to connect an arbitrary complex-valued load impedance to a source with a given resistive internal impedance (Intrinsic Impedance Zo) without causing input reflection and to ensure transfer of maximum power from source to load (ZL). Smith chart is designed in this paper with a Mathcad software. This tool is considered as a very powerful tool to show the results on Smith chart. Single and double stub tuners are designed and analyzed with examples. The designed software is used in this paper for different cases, such as single stub and double stub tuners (open-ended and short-ended) for matching capacitive and inductive loads. The software designed in this paper is useful for designers working in this field as well as in education process.

Coronaviruses, a type of virus family, cause severe respiratory diseases in people. The coronavirus is most frequently linked to the common cold, but in persons with SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus infection, it can also lead to serious respiratory sickness. The spread of the coronavirus is by having direct contact with infected saliva, mucus, or blood. Infected surfaces, such as those in hospitals or other healthcare facilities, can potentially spread the infection when touched. Now spreading globally is the Omicron version of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). According to preliminary studies, the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has a higher probability of re-infection. To recognize COVID-19 as well as omicron people in hospitals and primary health care, this review study focuses on the symptoms and indications. The data was collected and analyzed from more than one hundred high-impact original research papers to conclude their results and make a comparison between methods and findings.

In this present paper, we introduced a Finsler space Fn which projective curvature tensor K^i_ijkh satisfies the generalized five recurrence property with respect to Berwald’s connection parameters G^i_kh, we have derived some theorems and some identities along with few more related results in a recurrent and generalized 5-recurrent Finsler space with Berwald’s curvature tensor field.
