Kifah Fadhil Hassoon Al-Shabaa — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The present research detects the effectiveness and estimation of Methanol Extract of phoenix dactylifera (leaves palm extract) as antibacterial activity against selected Gram negative bacteria (Salmonella entrica and

Escherichia coli ) , which may be developed into new-fangled, harmless, and more efficient agents microbial infections. was determined by Serial doubling dilution of the plant extract in sterile nutrient broth to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration and achieved six different concentrations of 200µg/ml, 100µg/ml, 50µg/ml, 25 µg/ml, and 12.5µg/ml and 6.25 µg/ml, Its appeared as negative result (not have any zone of inhibition) in deferent concentration used.

When used the synergistic effect of Methanol Extract of dactylifera leaves against Salmonella entrica with different antibiotic showed Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Trimethoprim (TMP) ,resistance in deferent concentration but Cefataxime ( CTX) sensitive in all concentration except ( 12.5 µg/ml, 6.250 µg/ml) were resistance .While Amikacin (AK) sensitive in concentration (50 µg/ml, 25 µg/ml) and Doxycycline (DO) sensitive in concentration (50 µg/ml) only .

Mansha Mahani, Dr. Shivani Bhambri — Mon, 22 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study delves into the link between Spiritual Intelligence (SI) & Emotional Intelligence (EI), specifically looking at how these two dimensions impact communication styles and methods for resolving conflicts among married couples. If we want to see more happy and healthy marriages, we need to know what makes couples happy, and marital happiness is a good measure of that. In contrast to Emotional Intelligence, which entails seeing, understanding, and successfully managing emotions, SI includes qualities like self-awareness, transcendence, and connection. This research uses a mixed-methods approach to look at how variables, communications dynamics, & marital conflict resolution are related. More positive communication styles and methods for resolving conflicts are linked to higher both variables, which in turn leads to better marital satisfaction, according to the findings. In order to cultivate healthy marriage outcomes, it is essential to possess certain components of both variables, such as comprehension, empathy, and emotional control. It is important to note that culturally sensitive treatments are necessary since cultural and contextual variables impact the link between two variables, & marital satisfaction. These findings provide practical suggestions for improving marital relationships and add to our knowledge of the processes driving marital dynamics.
