Cul-De-Sacs And Narrative Data Analysis – A Less Than Straightforward Journey, Gwyneth James Dec 2017

Cul-De-Sacs And Narrative Data Analysis – A Less Than Straightforward Journey, Gwyneth James

The Qualitative Report

This article focuses on the methodological journey I took as a novice narrative inquirer, particularly regarding data analysis, for my doctoral data; a journey characterised by floundering, meandering, wrong turns and cul-de-sacs. It explains the initially overwhelming process of moving from collecting “data” to constructing the narratives of five postgraduate international students, challenges faced as well as lessons learned. Despite its complexities, narrative data analysis enables colour and emotion to be added to research. This article continues to add to a somewhat meagre research literature about how to move from collecting “data” to constructing narratives.

Determination Of The Level Of Some Adipokines In Hypo-And Hyperthyroids Patients In Baghdad City, Suha A. Al-Jowari

Baghdad Science Journal

Determination of the level of adipokines (obestatin, vaspin, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6)in hypo-and hyperthyroid patients from Educational Baghdad Hospital in Baghdad City was investigated. Fifty patients with hypothyroidism and Fifty patients with hyperthyroidism were selected. A control group of thirty euthyroid persons was included. Blood was collected by vein puncture and serum was separated and stored at –20C. Adipokines (obestatin,vaspin, tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-6) were estimated using ELISA method.The findings show a significant (p<0.05) increase in obestatin level in hypothyroid patients, while there isno significant difference in hyperthyroid patientsascompared with the euthyroid subjects. In addition, this study demonstrated a significant (p<0.05) increase in vaspin means in hypothyroid patients compared with euthyroid group. In hyperthyroid patients, there isa significant (p<0.05) decrease in vaspin level in comparison with euthyroid subjects.Furthermore, there isa significant (p<0.05) increase in tumor necrosis factor-α level in hypothyroid and hyperthyroid patients as compared with the euthyroid subjects. The results of this study also explain a significant (p<0.05) increase in interleukin-6 level in hyperthyroid patients, while there isnon-significant difference in hypothyroid patients compared with the euthyroid subjects. It is concludedfrom this studythat the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α increased in hyperthyroidism and decreased in hypothyroidism. Obestatin and vaspin were increased significantly in hypothyroid patients.

A new ligand [4-Methoxy -N-(pyrimidine-2-ylcarbamothioyl) benzamide] (MPB) was synthesized by reactioniofi(4-Methoxyibenzoyliisothiocyanate)withi(2-aminopyri-midine). The Ligand was characterized by elemental micro analysis (C.H.N.S),(FT-IR) (UV- Vis) and (1Hi,13CNMR)spectra. Some transition metals complexes of this ligand were prepared and characterized by (FT-IR, UV-Vis) spectra conductivity measurements magnetic susceptibility and atomic absorption. From the obtained results the molecular formula of all complexes was suggested to be [M(MPB)2Cl2] (M+2i=Cu, Mn, Co ,Ni ,Zn ,Cd and Hg),the proposed geometrical structure for all complexes was an octahedral.
