Baghdad Science Journal

This study examined the anatomic characteristics of the leaves from 22 taxa of Stachys L. representing seven sections in northern Iraq. It found no variation in the stomatal system but noted significant taxonomic variations in other anatomical features. Differences in mesophyll tissue were observed, with S. kurdica var. brevidens showing bifacial mesophyll, while S. kurdica var. kurdica displayed unifacial mesophyll. Vascular bundle numbers varied, with S. benthamiana, S. lanigera, and S. kotscyi having 3 bundles in the middle vein, while S. ballotiformis, S. megalodonta, and S. kurdica had only 1. Additionally, S. lavandulifolia exhibited a unique V-shaped cross-section. These anatomical …

Π-Armendariz Rings And Related Concepts, Areej M. Abduldai, Roaa M. Abidali Dec 2016

Π-Armendariz Rings And Related Concepts, Areej M. Abduldai, Roaa M. Abidali

Baghdad Science Journal

In this paper we investigated some new properties of ��-Armendariz rings and studied the relationships between ��-Armendariz rings and central Armendariz rings, nil-Armendariz rings, semicommutative rings, skew Armendariz rings, ��-compatible rings and others. We proved that if �� is a central Armendariz, then �� is a ��-Armendariz ring. Also, we explained how skew Armendariz rings can be ��-Armendariz, for that we proved that if �� is a skew Armendariz ��-compatible ring, then �� is ��-Armendariz. Examples are given to illustrate the relations between concepts.

Policy Dissemination: Public Administration Theory And International Organizations | A Case Study On The Convention On The Rights Of Persons With Disabilities In The Kingdom Of Morocco, Rachelle Ann Wilson

Capstone Projects – Politics and Government

With the advent of international organizations comes international law. Unprecedented at such a global and influential level, there is no theoretical framework within public administration explicitly focused on administrative structure and strategies for the implementation of international law. Consequently, the current administrative literature and theoretical framework must be looked to and transposed, as much as possible, to the international stage. This paper explores public administration theory and how it would manifest if applied to international policy implementation. By taking a closer look into the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its implementation strategy within the …

The Invisible: Serving Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder, A Sensitivity Training, Rachel Combs

LIS Student Conference

According to the CDC, autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability (2008). In the US, the prevalence is estimated at 1 in 68 births. Academic libraries need to be aware of this growing population so that we can educate library staff and be prepared to help people who learn and communicate differently. College students with disabilities face inequity when using the academic library, including the physical space, the library website, programming or lack thereof, restrictive loan periods, and resources that aren’t available in formats that they need. Academic libraries must be proactive and learn to recognize and minimize barriers, educate library …

Community Resource Audit: Teen Users, Ashley Householder

LIS Student Conference

This poster presents the findings from my Community Resource Audit in LIS 601, which focused on teen library users. During my research, I found that teens usually seek information on the following topics: Health, Career Information, Homework Help, Reading Material, News, and General Curiosity. Along with addressing these needs, my presentation will also discuss barriers to teen access, including reasons why they might choose not to seek information. Finally, I will present my "Teen Resource Guide," which was designed to help teens conduct research on each of the aforementioned topics.

Community Resource Audit Of Low-Income And Poor Children, Jesse Caldwell

LIS Student Conference

Poverty is on the rise within the United States. Public Libraries located in large cities and rural communities may be seeing an increase in usage from children who identify as low-income or poor. Using national statistics from the United States and local statistics from Lawrenceburg, Indiana , I will explain how poverty is on the rise within the United States. I will then outline how to discover local poverty statistics and how those statistics can be used to directly engage the low-income and poor population within a library district.
