Abstract

General Background: Amaranthus spinosus, a member of the Amaranthaceae family, has long been valued in culinary and medicinal traditions due to its diverse bioactive compounds. Specific Background: Previous studies have highlighted its phenolic content and antioxidant potential, yet limited research has compared solvent efficiency in extracting these compounds. Knowledge Gap: The influence of solvent polarity on phytochemical diversity and antioxidant activity of A. spinosus seeds remains underexplored. Aims: This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of A. spinosus seeds. Results: Both extracts contained polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and saponins, though glycosides were exclusive to the aqueous extract, while carotenoids and cardiac glycosides were unique to the alcoholic extract. Antioxidant assays revealed stronger radical scavenging activity in the alcoholic extract (88%) than in the aqueous extract (75%), though both were below the ascorbic acid standard. Novelty: By demonstrating solvent-specific extraction patterns, this study underscores alcohol as a superior medium for isolating antioxidant constituents in A. spinosus seeds. Implications: These findings validate the traditional use of A. spinosus and suggest its potential application as a natural antioxidant in pharmaceutical and food industries Highlights: Alcoholic extract showed higher antioxidant capacity (88%) than aqueous (75%). Solvent choice influenced phytochemical diversity and yield. Supports traditional medicinal use and potential food/pharma applications.

Abstract

General Background: The tourism sector increasingly relies on strategic alliances to address competitive challenges and share resources in dynamic markets. Specific Background: In this context, human resource management practices, particularly recruitment and training strategies, are central to building the competencies required for managing partnerships among tourism companies in Baghdad. Knowledge Gap: Despite the growing importance of alliances, many organizations emphasize legal and financial aspects while overlooking the role of qualified human capital in managing cooperative relationships. Aims: This study aims to analyze the relationship between recruitment and training strategies and the efficiency of strategic tourism alliances. Results: Using a descriptive-analytical approach and survey data from 93 respondents, the findings reveal a significant positive relationship between recruitment and training strategies and alliance efficiency, with a correlation coefficient of 0.800 and an explanatory power of 63%. Technical and behavioral training emerged as the most prominent dimension, while all dimensions showed statistically significant contributions. Novelty: The study integrates human resource management functions with strategic alliance performance in the tourism sector within the Baghdad context. Implications: The findings suggest that adopting competency-based recruitment and specialized training programs supports cooperation, reduces organizational conflicts, and contributes to achieving shared objectives in tourism alliances. Highlights:• Recruitment Practices Based on Competencies Support Alignment of Shared Goals• Training Programs Strengthen Cooperation and Reduce Organizational Conflicts• Technical and Behavioral Skills Show the Strongest Contribution to Alliance Performance Keywords: Recruitment Strategies, Training Programs, Strategic Alliances, Tourism Companies, Human Resource Management.
