With the rapid development in the technology, there has been a greater dependence on the digital information which led to the increase in the communication technology. Further. with the greater dependence there requires a certain understanding of legal and human rights status for internet access as there is astonishing increase in the number of users of the internet. Recently in the case of Faheema Sharini V. State of Kerala, the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala opined that the ‘right to internet access’ should also be a part of Article 21 of the Constitution of India, forming a part of the right to privacy and the right to education. Despite India being considered as one of the largest democracies but the recent internet shutdowns depict a different picture altogether. For instance, the Government while exercising its powers under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, brought the Kashmir valley under complete internet shut down for a period of 5 (five) months.

There is a growing interest in nanobubble (NB) technology because of its wide range of potential applications in theranostics and targeted drug delivery including anticancer drug delivery, antibiotic delivery, gene delivery etc. Nanobubbles could offer several features in anticancer drug delivery, improving cellular uptake of chemotherapy drugs into cancer cell lines. Nanobubbles opened a new field of ultrasound imaging and were used as a diagnostic method. Generally, the delivery of drugs to organs and tissues is affected by two main ultrasound effects including the cavitation and sonoporation effects. This review describes the history of nanobubble, nomenclature, stability of nanobubble, physicochemical properties, characterization of nanobubble, method of preparation and applications. This article aims at highlighting the most recent and promising research trends including oxygen nanobubble, silica nanobubble and pluronicnanobubble and enlist the various drug delivery approaches involving the application of nanobubbles.
Childhood trauma and the identity quest in Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye
Authors: Muthulakshmi M. , Ganesan S.
Published: August 2022

Margaret Atwood, an iconic Canadian writer in many of her novels has dealt with the power politics and its consequences especially in her women protagonists’ life. In her novel Cat’s Eye, the power games are played exquisitely by little girls. As it has been done previously by Graham Greene and William Golding in their works, Atwood has effectively captured the complex relationship between the school bully and victim, through her characters. Like Atwood’s earlier novels, Cat’s Eye is a novel which is not only against to restrictive idealism, it is also against to authoritarianism manifesting in several forms. According to Atwood, women suffer not only at the hands of rigid patriarchy; even female folks indulge in bullying and torturing the less privileged of their own gender. In this novel, Elaine Risley was a victim and a protagonist. She is victimized by her three classmates at her school-Cordelia, Carol and Grace Elaine Risley persecuted from her child age and in her young age it increased a lot. Due to her itinerant life, she became homeless among her peers. Consequently, she became a victim to the surroundings.
Signification, Meaning, and Sense: The Vocational Event has a Crystal Appearance.
Authors: Mouta Ana
Published: August 2022

Having Gilles Deleuze’s “Logique du sens“ as a reference, we propose a deep appreciation of the concepts of signification, meaning and sense that may affect the understanding of some key constructs of Vocational Psychology with implications for career guidance. The purpose is to grasp the concept of sense from a certain indistinctness that seems to pervade the theoretical corpus of Psychology in general, and Vocational Psychology in particular. First, we emphasize the tradition of research and practice in vocational psychological guidance and dive into the vocational characterisation of those constructs. Then, we propose a way of looking at these concepts as a phenomenon and event for vocational development. Our intention was to put the phenomenological questioning at the centre of the psychological practices and lead a reflection around language that goes beyond a purely symptomatic and empirical understanding, a reflection that grasps its collapse from the casuistry of narratives.

Published: August 2022

Three experiments were conducted from 2014 to 2018 to examine the economics of yellow passion fruit production under different soil fertility management. In 2014, two yellow passion fruit genotypes, that is Conventional and KPF 4, were grown in the field and pot simultaneously under varying rates of poultry manure (PM), including 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 t/ha. In 2016, the response of the two genotypes to a single and combined application of organic and inorganic fertilisers was evaluated under field conditions, namely no fertiliser application, 10, 20 t/ha PM, 400 kg/ha NPK 15:15:15, 5 t/ha PM + 200 kg/ha NPK, and 10 t/ha PM + 200 kg/ha NPK. The profitability indicators were gross revenue, net revenue, returns per naira invested and the profitability index. In 2014, total variable cost increased significantly (P < 0.05) with an increase in PM rates in both the field and pot studies. The highest net returns and returns per naira invested were obtained with the application of 20 t/ha PM. The combined application of 10 t/ha PM + 200 kg/ha NPK recorded the highest gross return, net return and return per naira invested in the 2016 production cycle. Growing the vines without fertiliser application gave significantly least net returns without profit in both production cycles and methods. Consequently, applying 20 t/ha PM was adjudged the most profitable for yellow passion fruit production in the study area, and hence is recommended particularly when organic farming is intended. However, if growers must use inorganic fertiliser, a combined application of 10 t/ha PM + 200 kg/ha NPK will be most profitable.

Authors: Jamwal Pankaj , Uniyal Sanjay
Published: August 2022

Chir pine forests occurring at 750 amsl (Site 1) and 1400 amsl (Site 2) in Western Himalaya were studied for vegetation characteristics and under-canopy assemblages. The vegetation was sampled using quadrats. Total of 40 plant species belonging to 27 families were encountered in the sampling plots. Members of Asteraceae, Leguminosae and Rosaceae dominated the Chir pine under-canopy. At both the Sites, species to genera ratio was found to be one. Amongst the two Sites, the number of tree and shrub species was more at Site 1; while that of herbs was more at Site 2. Higher tree and shrub diversity was recorded at Site 1, 0.63 and 1.32 respectively, while Site 2 had higher (2.12) herb diversity. In general, both Sites had higher shrub and herb diversity compared to tree diversity. Chir pine forests at lower altitude (Site 1) were found to be more diverse than at higher altitude (Site 2). Above ground biomass of Chir pine at the study Sites ranged from 302 t/ha at Site 1 to 338 t/ha at Site 2. The density, diversity and biomass estimate from the present study area are comparable to other Chir pine forests in the Western Himalaya; however, regeneration potential of the present area was recorded to be comparatively poor.
Platelet-rich Plasma in the Management of Shoulder Disorders: Basic Science and Implications Beyond the Rotator Cuff
Authors: Omid Reza , Lalezari Ramin , Bolia Ioanna K. , Weber Alexander E.
Published: August 2022

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous mixture produced by centrifugal separation of whole blood. Understanding the clinical efficacy of PRP remains a challenge in the field of sports medicine, including the treatment of various shoulder conditions. Animal studies have examined the biologic actions of PRP on the rotator cuff tendon and shoulder capsule. Human studies have reported the outcomes of PRP in the management of subacromial impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, and glenohumeral osteoarthritis. These studies highlight the role of PRP in the nonsurgical management of these conditions and its utilization in the perioperative setting to augment tissue healing and optimize the surgical outcomes. The role of PRP as an adjunct therapy in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair has been in the spotlight during the last decade; however, a limited number of studies have examined the role of PRP in the management of non–rotator cuff shoulder conditions. This article aims to provide an overview of the biologic actions of PRP on shoulder tissues and to summarize the outcomes of PRP injection in patients with rotator cuff and non–rotator cuff disease of the shoulder. We sought to organize the existing literature and to provide recommendations on the use of PRP in various shoulder conditions, based on the existing evidence.

Authors: Silvestre Jason , Thompson Terry L. , Wilson Robert H. , Nelson Charles L.
Published: August 2022

Introduction:

Higher case volumes correlate with improved outcomes in total joint arthroplasty surgery. The purpose of this study was to understand the effect of adult reconstruction fellowship training on reported case volume in a contemporary cohort of orthopaedic surgeons.

Methods:

The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education provided case logs for orthopaedic surgery residents and adult reconstructive orthopaedic fellows from 2017 to 2018 to 2020 to 2021. Reported case volumes for total joint arthroplasty surgeries were compared using Student t tests.

Results:

One hundred eighty-three adult reconstructive orthopaedic fellows and 3,000 orthopaedic surgery residents were included. Residents reported more total hip arthroplasty cases (98.9 ± 30 to 106.1 ± 33, 7.3% increase, P < 0.05) and total knee arthroplasty cases (126.0 ± 41 to 136.5 ± 44, 8.3% increase, P < 0.05) over the study period. On average, fellows reported 439.6 total cases: primary total knee arthroplasty, 164.9 cases (37.5%); primary total hip arthroplasty, 146.8 cases (33.4%); revision total knee arthroplasty, 35.2 cases (8.0%); revision total hip arthroplasty, 33.0 cases (7.5%); unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, 4.4 cases (1.0%); and other, 55.0 cases (12.5%). Overall, adult reconstructive orthopaedic fellowship reported between 1.7- and 2.0-fold more joint arthroplasty cases during 1 year of fellowship training than 5 years of residency (P < 0.001).

Discussion:

Adult reconstructive orthopaedic fellowship training provides notable exposure to additional cases after residency training. The results from this study may inform prospective applicants on the effect of fellowship training in total joint arthroplasty and help establish benchmarks in case volume for independent practice.

Published: August 2022

Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is defined as the sum of the total lengths of branches of species in phylogenetic tree. Unlike typical metrics based on number of species and individuals, phylogenetic diversity could evaluate ecological and life-history trsits of species in community. This study compared and analyzed the ecological similarity and differentiation in terms of biodiversity through phylogenetic diversity of birds in both Geumgangsan and Seoraksan National Parks, which are connected to ecological network for board area on natinoal land. Phylogenetic diversity of birds investigated from both Geumgangsan and Seoraksan National Parks was found to be similar overall, confirming the ecological connectivity between biodiversity aspects. In particular, Jaccard’s similaritiy analysis showed that forest-dwelling birds were highly similar between national parks whereas waterbirds differed. Because Geumgangsan National Park is adjacent to the East sea, there were more waterbirds. Although we found ecological signifcant in bird diversity between national parks, this study has limitation that our analyses considered no environmental characteristics as habitat factors. However, to minimize the limiations of bird surveys conducted in North Korea, phylogenetic diversity was identified as possible method of the assessment and we discussed on this.

Published: August 2022

The study aims to investigate effect of soaking Ammi visnaga seeds in the growth hormones gibberellic acid, kinetin, and naphthalene acetic acid (GA3, KN and NAA). Growth parameters at vegetative stage, in addition to the secondary compounds content especially khellin were measured using the HPLC analysis. Results showed that soaking in GA3 led to a noticeable increase in the length of the plant shoot, while the root depth increased by treatment with the NAA. Soaking seeds with GA3 100 ppm caused the highest plant weight with an increase by 63.38% compared with the control. High content of Chl. b and Carotenoids was observed by KN, while of Chl. it was by NAA. Soaking by the three plant hormones (GA3, KN and NAA) caused a slight increase in the content of the important medicinal component (khellin) in the plant seeds which suggested their utilization for increasing the medicinal value of Ammi visnaga.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the results of volar V-Y advancement flap surgery without suturing the proximal part to reconstruct fingertip amputations.
Methods: Between 2018 and 2020, 18 patients (16 males, two females) who underwent volar V-Y advancement flap surgery without suturing the proximal part due to a fingertip amputation were retrospectively identified and included. All the clinical outcomes were obtained at the final follow-up appointment. The total range of motions of injured fingers and the same ones of the contralateral healthy DIP (distal interphalangeal) joint were measured. Fingertip tenderness was measured with Visual Analog Score (VAS). Cold intolerance and two-point discrimination (2PD) were assessed in the flap area.
Results: The mean age was 37 (range = 19–62) years, and the mean follow-up was 15 (range = 12–22) months. The thumb was injured in 5 patients, index finger in 7, long finger in 4, ring finger in 1, and little finger in 1. Partial or total flap necrosis was not encountered in any patient. Range of motion deficit of DIP joint was 17.5 (range = 0–30) % in the operated finger (p = 0.38). The mean VAS for fingertip tenderness was 0.11 (range = 0–1). While no cold intolerance was encountered in 14 patients, it was minimal in 2 patients, mild in 1, and severe in 1. 2PD ratio that was comparatively measured to the contralateral healthy finger was 45% (range = 0–120) (p < 0.034). Sensory function was preserved in all patients.
Conclusion: Volar V-Y advancement flaps without suturation of the proximal part can offer good clinical and aesthetical outcomes, protect the finger contour, and reduce the risk of flap necrosis.

Published: August 2022

New onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in the case of acute myocardial infarction appears to be associated with inflammation. However, its influence alongside other risk factors is currently unknown. In this study, the effect of inflammation in predicting NOAF independent of left atrial volume index (LAVi) was investigated with a new marker, the C-reactive protein/Albumin ratio (CAR). We included 945 ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent pPCI. Two groups were defined according to the presence of NOAF and the groups were compared for demographic, clinical and angiographic findings. Predictors of the NOAF were assessed by multivariable regression analysis. Fifty-five (5.8%) patients had NOAF after the procedures. CAR was substantially higher in patients with NOAF (5.9 [4.9] vs 0.46 [1] p<0.01). CAR was shown as an independent marker for NOAF (OR:1.19 95% CI: 1.11-1.27 p<0.01) development in multivariable regression analysis. In receiver operating curve characteristics, the sensitivity and the specificity of the value CAR>4.2 were 64% and 81% (AUC: 0.86) respectively. In subgroup analysis, OR of CAR in LAVi ≥26.7 ml/m² was 19.5 and 22.1 in LAVi<26.7 ml/m² (p for interaction=0.02). A novel inflammatory marker, CAR has the potential to predict the development of NOAF regardless of LAVi in patients with STEMI treated by PPCI.
Association of hemoglobin level and packed cell volume with gestational diabetes mellitus

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a type of insulin resistance that develops in the second trimester of pregnancy. This type of diabetes ends after delivery. GDM poses serious health hazards to both the mother and the baby. Pathology behind this carbohydrate intolerance is insulin resistance. The previous studies have pointed out that this insulin resistance is due to oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Free radicals can be generated by iron. Since pregnancy is a condition where iron requirement rises, universal iron supplementation is given. According to the previous studies, excess iron can cause free-radical mediated injury leading on to diabetes. Supplementation of a prooxidant irrespective of body iron stores may be more harmful than beneficial. Hemoglobin and PCV are two hematological parameters that reflect body iron stores.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare hemoglobin and PCV values in pregnant woman with and without GDM.

Materials and Methods: A case–control study was done in the obstetric department of a tertiary care center in south India from August 2010 to December 2010.The study included 85 cases and 85 controls. Cases were pregnant women at 24–28 weeks of gestation with gestational diabetes who attended the obstetric OPD during the study period. GDM was diagnosed as per ADA guidelines. Controls were pregnant women at 24–28 weeks gestation without GDM as per ADA guidelines. Data for the study were collected using a preformed tested questionnaire. All subjects were provided with iron supplementation according to the national programme. Estimation of hemoglobin and PCV was done with 2 ml of blood sample obtained by venepuncture using an automated analyzer. The association of elevated hemoglobin and PCV with the risk of developing GDM was tested using Chi-square analysis. P ≤ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

Results: Hemoglobin in cases and controls showed a significant difference by Chi-square analysis (P = 0.004). PCV in cases was significantly higher than in controls by Chi-square analysis (P = 0.003).

Conclusion: The study found a statistically significant association between higher maternal hemoglobin level and PCV with GDM.

Atasözü, ataların, uzun deneme ve gözlemlere dayanan yargılarını genel kural, bilgece düşünce ya da öğüt olarak veren ve kalıplaşmış bir biçimi olan, kamuca benimsenmiş kısa, özlü söz olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesinde yer alan ve güzide illerinden biri olan Mardin vilayetindeki Gökçe köyü ve çevresinde kullanılan atasözlerinin, fasih Arapça ve Türkçedekilerle karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde ele alınması hedeflenmiştir. Toplam on sekiz tema ve yetmiş atasözünün ele alındığı çalışmamızda bölge halkının kullanımının yanında atasözlerinin standart Arapçası da verilerek Türkçedeki karşılıkları ile de değerlendirilmiştir. Karşılaştırmalarda atasözlerine erişilemediği durumlarda hem Türkçe hem de Arapçada benzer anlamda kullanılan şiirlere yer verilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra bazı atasözlerinin hikayelerine de yer verilmiştir. Zira bir atasözünün hikayesini bilmenin önemli olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Ayrıca Mardin Gökçe köyü ve çevresinde kullanılan atasözlerini ele almak suretiyle; yaşlı nüfusun vefatıyla yok olma tehlikesi ile yüz yüze kalabilecek olan sözlü kültürü kayıt altına alarak gelecek nesillere aktarmak da bir başka hedeftir. Diğer taraftan bu bölgede konuşulan dilin edebi ve kültürel zenginliğine katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.
Māturīdite Scholar Abū Isḥāq al-Ṣaffār’s Understanding of Kalām Based on al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā
Authors: SEVGÜLÜ HACİİBRAHİMOĞLU Hümeyra , DEMİR Abdullah
Published: August 2022

Seen in four verses of the Qurʾān and two different versions of a ḥadīth narrated by the Abū Hurayra (d. 57/678), al-Asmāʾ al-ḥusnā is an expression that refers to the beautiful or most beautiful names of Allah. Since the earliest periods of Islam, Muslim scholars have written various books focusing on issues, such as al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā', the meanings of these names and praying with these names. The book Tafsīr al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā, written by the Abū Isḥāq al-Zajjāj (d. 311/923), a scholar specializing in language and syntax, is the first known work devoted to this subject. Similarly, the book al-Asmāʾ wa-l-ṣifāt by Ashʿarī theologian ʿAbd al-Qāhir al-Baghdādī (d. 429/1037-38) addresses the same subject. The present study discusses Māturīdite scholar Abū Ishāk al-Saffār's (d. 534/1139) understanding of Kalām based on his interpretation of al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā. Approximately one-third of his theology book called Talkhīṣ al-adilla li-qawāʿid al-tawḥīd is composed of his interpretation of al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā. An examination of the related sections in it reveals that al-Saffār attempts to explain the issue of divinity based on one hundred seventy-seven al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā. al-Saffār first explains the divine names provided in alphabetical order from a semantic perspective. Afterward, he explains each holy name theologically by linking it to a related subject in theology. An analysis of his book Talkhīṣ al-adilla would reveal that he deals with all other theology issues in connection with the beautiful names of God, except for the subject of the caliphate. Because no other work is known to have addressed the beautiful names of God in such detail in the Ḥanafite-Māturīdite theological literature before al-Saffār, we decided to investigate what he offered in his work further. This article aims to introduce and evaluate his understanding of theology based on his interpretation of al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā. Thus, the originality of his book will be considered within the framework of the literature of al-asmāʾ al-ḥusnā.
The Correction of a False Conceptualization: The Authenticity of the Kalām Imputation
Authors: ARVAS Hamdullah
Published: August 2022

What are the sources of the term of kalâm? In the emergence of this term, is the external influences of Islamic thought were decisive than internal dynamics or not? This naming problem is also the process of self-fulfillment of a prophecy. At the beginning, the first group orientalists exemplified the concept of ‘kalâm’ through the word ‘logos’, which expresses thought, consciousness and logic in Ancient Greek to improve understanding of their readers. Subsequent orientalists imposed a truth value by way the using this information as reference. Some Muslim scholars who wanted to support religious knowledge with philosophy encouraged this understanding even if they did not want to. Thus, the claim that the term ‘kalâm’, whose relationship with logic was given over the Arabic language, was taken from the Greeks was adopted. In fact, there is no evidence in Islamic classical sources confirming this. This understanding is a result of the Greek West-centered perspective. In our article prepared to draw attention to this situation, the conceptual ground on which the naming of the kalâm science is based on Islamic thought has been investigated. The thesis of the word ‘kalâm’, the ability of speech, the speech of God, the reading of the Qur'an and the reason for defending a claim and its defense forms belongs to Islamic thought. It was detected that the meaning similarity between ‘kalâm’ and ‘logos’ is due to the commonness of natural language and basic human experiences.

İnsanlar çeşitli olay ve olgular karşısında takınacakları tavırları ve sergileyecekleri davranışları belirlerken kendi ihtiyaç ve beklentilerinin yanı sıra ait oldukları gruplar ile içinde yaşadıkları toplumun ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini de göz önünde bulundururlar. Bu durum öğrencilerin ihtiyaç ve beklentilerinin tespiti, eğitim durumlarının düzenlenmesi, bir diğer ifadeyle öğrenme yaşantılarını sağlayacak dış koşulların düzenlenmesi ve işe koşulmasıyla yakından ilgilidir. Söz konusu ihtiyaç ve beklentiler, eğitim durumlarının olduğu kadar değer eğitimi sistemlerinin de temelini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma, eğitimde içerik hazırlama çalışmaları çerçevesinde değerlerin belirlenmesinde çocuğun kendisinin, mensubu olduğu grubun/grupların ve içinde yaşadığı toplumun ihtiyaç ve beklentilerini konu edinmektedir. Literatür taramasına ve doküman incelemesine dayalı bu çalışmanın problemi, çocukların yukarıda sözü edilen parametreler çerçevesinde ortak bir değer anlayışı geliştirebilmelerini sağlayacak bütüncül bir anlayış ve yaklaşım mümkün müdür sorusudur. Alan yazında, sözü edilen paydaşların ihtiyaç ve beklentileri ile değer gelişimi arasındaki ilişkiyi konu alan çalışmaların sınırlı olması; ayrıca söz konusu ilişkiye dair yeterli farkındalığın, derinliğin ve bilgi seviyesinin bulunmaması bu çalışmayı önemli kılan hususların başında gelmektedir.
An Analytical Evaluation of The Sectarian Perspectives of The Ruling on Staying Over-night at Minā
Authors: YİĞİT Yaşar
Published: August 2022

An examination of the history would reveal that almost every religion or belief system possesses a form of pilgrimage with its own unique rituals and requirements. The hajj in Islam, on the other hand, is an act of fard worship that Muslims with the necessary conditions and qualifications are obliged to perform. The hajj is a form of worship that offers both individuals and Islamic societies wisdom and many beauties. It is an annual Muslim/Islamic gathering that includes religious, social, cultural, political and economic activities. On the other hand, as the hajj is performed at certain times and in limited locations, it stands out as a form of worship that naturally contains all kinds of challenges, particularly due to temporally and spatially oriented tasks and restrictions. This is because it requires a journey, a certain time frame and being in a limited place and involves its own difficulties, no matter how much the conditions have been improved over time and no matter what the opportunities are.
The time of spending the night at Minā coincides with the Tarwiyah day before Arafat and the nights of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th days of the Eid after the Muzdalifa. The fukaha agree that it is sunnah to stay overnight at Minā on the day of Tarwiyah (8th day of Dhu al-Hijjah). On the other hand, the fuqaha have different views on the ruling of staying overnight at Minā, during the nights of Tashriq days. It should be noted that although the famous Islamic law schools’ rulings on pilgrimage differ, they commonly think that it is sunnah, mustahabb or wādjib to spend the night at Minā on the days of tashriq.
Globally considered, worship is taabbudi in its nature, yet this does not imply that one should ignore the quest for achieving its purposeful gains. To confine worship to only certain norms and places, far from its intended goals, is in sharp contrast with the rationale for Islam’s ordering worship and the objectives it wants to achieve. Identifying and eliminating the issues that cannot be considered within the scope of the hajj, which includes many symbolic pilgrimage rituals, not only could contribute to the establishment of a healthy basis for worship but also could help eliminate the possible challenges, risks and dangers. Therefore, the Qur’anic verses related to the hajj and the normative practices and words of the Prophet (PBUH) play a major role in the performance of the pilgrimage. A belief or action that is not based on this does not qualify as worship. However, not every word and action of the Prophet can be considered as an authoritative religious order. It is hardly appropriate to infer a religious provision out of what the Prophet did, where he went or rested or the route he took during his expedition, unless he clearly stated or defined a particular action of his as a component of worship. Thus, we can evaluate the Prophet's (PBUH) overnight stay at Minā on the night of the Tarwiyah day before the day of Arafat and on the days of tashriq after Arafat from a religious perspective.
