Among matters that occupy the mind of people since early history are fears of the unknown and death that have most likely triggered the need for a patronizing superpower, namely, God. Limited understanding of surrounding wonders, hard survival, and refusal to comply with our relatively short life span have probably prompted this need, which intensified with growing hostility among tribes and rising civilizations fighting over territory, resources and leadership. Although physical power has always been a dominating factor in these human struggles (as is among animals), the developed brain and verbal communication provided an additional powerful tool used by smart individuals and minorities to gain control over ignorant, frightened masses. In convincing the audience about their ability to convey prayers and requests to the ‘heavenly patron’, God, these people (e.g., Shamans, Prophets, Priests, Monks, Rabies, Islamic preachers) have actually constituted a new status, ‘sanctified mediators’, from which the road to establishment of a new religious movement, based on an unusual individual, was paved. To ratify their sacred status, these people cleverly attributed the creation of the world (still an unsolved issue) to God, and formed a virtual reality accompanied by rituals that attracted the masses. They exploited the need of people for a patronizing superpower to constitute a religion that provided ‘answers’ to the rising curiosity, limited scientific knowledge, and spiritual requirements of the masses, but also to gain superiority as well as advance their own abundance and wealth. Not only that people now had a God to lean on, the sanctified mediators further strengthened their status by composing social and religious rules with an entire set of orders (do and don’t do) and worships that included prayers and ceremonies, aiming to please God and obtain his mercy and support. In administrating the worships these mediators utilized the amazing obedience consent of people to satisfy their spiritual needs, and so they took control over the masses.

In this review we report effects Centella asiatica (Ca) in comparison with Flavonoids (Fs) to find out which best deals with healing time, bleeding and pain in the treatment of outpatients with chronic Anal Fissure (AF) on one hand. On the other hand, we report also the time-to-stop bleeding, and the anal irritation in patients who complained of Hemorrhoidal Disease (HD). Ninety-eight outpatients with AF were divided randomly into treated (either Fs or Ca) and control group. The control group (Group C, n=32) received the traditional treatment along with the other two subgroups which were treated, additionally, with Fs (Group A, n=30) or Ca (Group B, n=36). Patients were observed once weekly over 8 consecutive weeks. In another study, 130 patients with HD were studied for bleeding and pain after hemorrhoidectomy (31 patients) and hemorrhoidal thrombosis (34 patients) in the short time (II). The treated group (both conservative and surgical) was divided into two subgroups: one treated with Fs (Group A, n = 73), the other with Ca (Group B, n = 66). Sixty patients were randomized to receive the routine treatment (both conservative and surgical) (control Group C). Time-to-stop bleeding was checked at baseline and checkups (0 up to day 42).

Background: Lithium is an effective medication used as first-line therapy for bipolar disorder. Due to its narrow therapeutic index, frequent monitoring is highly recommended. Objective: This study was designed to validate the atomic absorption spectrophotometric method for serum and saliva lithium determination and examine its application for lithium therapeutic monitoring in patients with bipolar affective disorder. Methods: The atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) apparatus (Rayleigh, China) analyzes lithium in human blood and saliva samples. Precision, Recovery % (Accuracy), Detection Limit, and Specificity were evaluated to validate the used analysis method. The patient's study design was based on an observational study, where four patients with bipolar disorders type 1 and 2 (adults with bipolar disorder and on lithium therapy for one month) aged 32 to 64 years and weighing from 56 to 92 kg participated in this study. Four samples were collected from each patient, two samples of blood and another two of saliva. Results: A linear relationship between the absorbance and lithium concentrations was obtained in 0.175 - 7 μg/mL with an R2 of 0.99. Precision, Recovery % (Accuracy), Detection Limit, and Specificity are within the accepted limits. Ratio analysis of (Saliva/Blood) of Cmin, Cmax, and Cpss were 2.64, 3.77, and 3.54, respectively. The salivary lithium therapeutic range was 2.83- 4.25 mmol/L, which is much higher than blood. Only lithium Cmax in saliva was slightly affected by Body mass index (BMI), age, and creatinine clearance (CLcr), suggesting insignificant effects on lithium levels in general. Conclusions: The AAS method used in this study is reliable and accurate for determining serum and saliva lithium concentrations. A higher correlation coefficient between lithium in saliva and blood suggests that saliva is an excellent candidate to replace blood for lithium therapeutic drug monitoring.

Currently, the disease burden from pneumonia remains a major public health problem. In this regard, exploring endophytic fungal extracts from traditionally used plants could be a promising approach in this light. Therefore, this work was conceived with the aim of evaluating the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of two endophytic extracts of Cola acuminata against pneumoniacausing bacteria. The identification led to the acquisition of two endophytic fungi: Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma afroharzianum. From ten (10) extracts, two (CAB31P1 and CAF71N2) were active on the tested bacteria, and their MICs ranged from 12.5 to 100 μg/ml. CAF71N2 displayed better antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 74.75, 12.70 and 5.66 μg/ml for the reducing power of Fe3+, NO and OH radical scavenging capacities, respectively. The extracts revealed no cytotoxicity (CC50>100 μg/ml) on the two cell lines tested. These results suggest that the endophytic extracts from Cola acuminata could serve as a source for the isolation of potent antibacterial and antioxidant compounds for the treatment of pneumonia.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been utilized and produced at a very large scale due to their wide range of applications. Nevertheless, its toxicity is one of the concerns addressed by various researchers. Widely used methods of measuring plasma zinc have poor sensitivity and impaired specificity. Currently, there is no specific biomarker for determination of excess zinc inside our body is explored well. Furthermore, it is vital to know the toxic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles and their bulk counterparts at early exposure level on human health due to day to day increased use of zinc oxide nanoparticles in various applications. In current study we investigate the kidney and liver as the primary target organs for toxicity and their oxidative stress parameters. Twenty-four male mice were divided into three groups(n=8). Control (group I) served as vehicle control; group II:50mg/kg ZnO (bulk) and group III:ZnO NPs (50mg/kg nano). The mice were sacrificed after 14 days exposure, liver and kidney tissue toxicity biomarkers were performed. Our results demonstrate increased levels of GPx, metallothionein, GST, and decrease level of ceruloplasmin, GSH:GSSG ratio in bulk ZnO administered animals. The acute kidney toxicity was further confirmed by increased levels of their biomarkers i.e. Kim-1 and Clusterin. The levels of serum cytokines and caspase were also analyzed. Hence, this study investigated the comparative effect of early exposure of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nZnO) and its bulk form and we conclude that at 50mg/kg b.wt dose, ZnO NPs is comparatively safe to bulk ZnO.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT: A total of 35 female albino rats were divided into 7 groups: control, rats exposed to carcinogen, treated with varying concentrations of Senna alata plant aqueous extracts, treated with standard drug, and untreated for total 28 days of treatment.. Freshly prepared 3 fractionated doses of 50mg/kg N-Nitroso-N-ethyl urea (carcinogen) dissolved in 1/15M Phosphate buffer was given intraperitoneally at average ages 50, 65 and 80 days. At the end of the test period, hematological and biochemical parameters were determined in blood and serum samples with determination of body weights. The body weights were significantly affected in carcinogen exposed rats as compared to control rats. Compared to the control group, the carcinogen exposed rats treated group showed significances in several hematological parameters, including decreases in White blood cell (WBC), Red blood cell (RBC), and Platelet (PLT) counts. Furthermore, in comparison to the control group, the carcinogen exposed rats showed significantly increased blood glucose, serum total cholesterol, Low density lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol), triacylglycerols levels and High density lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol) level. The hematological and biochemical parameters in the carcinogen exposed rats treated group were approximately similar to control group. The S.alata extract significantly restored the hematological and biochemical parameters in N-Nitroso-N-ethyl urea carcinogen exposed rats

The issues of electoral behavior and the interaction of the electorate and power among the indigenous small people of the soyots, who live in one of the most remote regions of Russia – the Okinsky rayon of Buryatia, are covered. According to the results of a statistical analysis and sociological surveys conducted by the authors in 2021 and 2022 (n = 279) the characteristic features of the political culture of the soyots were revealed. With the framework of theory of motivation to vote of A. Blais and J.-F. Daoust, soyots tend to participate in elections mainly because of a sense of obligation and fear of being seen as asocial by their society. Soyots are characterized by a higher level of support for pro-government candidates and the ruling party, which is based on a sense of non-participation in the federal agenda due to their geographical remoteness, which implies their conformist behavior. In the Okinsky district, there is a high activity of local authorities and a variety of non-trivial political practices, which are described in the article. A pronounced ethnic feature is the high level of political influence among religious actors (buddhist lamas and shamans), that is low researched yet, as well as the presence of public institutions that defend the issues of legislative initiatives at the federal level, which in perception are equated with government.
Monarchic Mytho-Theologemes of the Modern Fundamentalist Discourse: Hermeneutical Specificity
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Prilutskii A. M.
Published: March 2023

Monarchist sentiments today are very common among representatives of Orthodox subcultures of a fundamentalist pattern. The dogmatization of monarchical concepts, which began in the Byzantine period in the history of Orthodoxy, is today perceived as part of the established religious tradition. Religious monarchism, represented in Russian society, does not have internal unity. It is possible to single out classical monarchism, which proves that monarchy is the best and most charitable form of organizing society, and eschatological, which believes that the coming Russian Orthodox tsar will have a special role in the upcoming eschatological and apocalyptic processes. Within the framework of eschatological monarchism, there is an active formation of mythologems and mythological narratives. The author's analysis of sources made it possible to identify five main thematic blocks: about the time of the coming of the king and the necessary conditions, about the personality and origin of the coming king, about the circumstances of the king's coming to power, about the nature of the king's reign, about the eschatological role of the king. The eschatological monarchical myth, constructed by modern contenders for the throne, is syncretic in nature and is generally aimed at substantiating the claims of the latter. The methods of inclusive hermeneutics are used as tools, allowing to interpret authoritative texts in accordance with apologetic purposes or to fabricate the latter.

Authors: Vajpayee Srajan , Rawat Tanmay , Bhalala Vandan
Published: March 2023

The demand for petroleum is increasing steadily, with the International Energy Agency (IEA) projecting that the world's petroleum expenditure will rise from 3564 Million Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (MTOE) in 2007 to as much as 5471 MTOE in 2015 and 6301 MTOE in 2030. More than two-thirds of the oil discovered around the world remains unrecovered; 40–70% of the original oil is still left in place after using conventional production techniques, namely, primary and secondary recovery techniques. This paper is based on the use of the Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (TEOR) method in a Sudanese oil field, the Orion field. There are two types of thermal EOR methods, namely In-Situ Combustion (ISC) and Hot Fluid Injection Process. The selection of a specific thermal EOR method is crucial for economic production. Also the challenges faced, such as depth limitation, conventional completion problems, reservoir heterogeneity, etc. are discussed. In order to get maximum recovery from the field, it is necessary to select a shallow depth so that heat loss does not occur inside the formation.

Published: March 2023

Art and education are two main significant subjects. They have had a great effect on both Man's life and thinking in past and their effects in present which are seen obviously yet nowadays.

Indeed, as two different independent fields, each of them has its own independent concept, task and indication as well as there is a strong connection between them at the same time. As it can be seen and sensed their effective roles in Man's life and thinking clearly in different ways, in the same way, their connections are obvious and it has been reached a level that makes a new independent philosophical ideological field come into being which is (Education of Art).

            Art is a way of using of imagination to express idea through the various kinds of arts such as: music, drawing and painting, performance, literature, sculpture or any other subject in the field. According to different eras, philosophies and understandings; art has a different indication and meaning. In giving importance on the concept of art, it has been different form an era and a philosophy to an era and philosophy in different times and it can be seen that its significance is different clearly.

            In the same way, education is a really important subject and Man has given importance to it from pre-historic era for the purpose of directing, instructing, teaching and educating a person or a thing so as to adapt with a various environment and different elements until the final stage which is endurable.

            The significance and key role of this field has been noticed and seen in different ways throughout history. Although, each of art and education has relation with each other and they have influence on each other, at the same time, each of them has relationship with other sciences in different ways. Because, these two subjects are not closed subjects in the face of other fields like knowledge, thinking and public life. These connections are clearly appeared in fields of sociology, religion, science, ethics, psychology and nature.

            The relationship between art and education is more appeared in the education of children. The educators demand to get benefit from art to improve and ease the process of education, at the same time, it is given importance to education in order to teach different kinds of arts.

Authors: Rasul Hawkar Qadir , Amin Rebaz Mohammad
Published: March 2023

This research is entitled "The Technique of Repetition in The Poems of Farhad Pirbal and Foroughi Forukhzad" by benefiting from the principles of the French school in the science of literature comparison, one of the most important elements of poetry is the poetry of both poets, the technique of repetition, as a prominent principle and embodiment of the structure of inner music in new poems in general and the poetry of both poets in particular. The comparison between the two poets seems to be due to the fact that, despite the fact that the poetry experiences of both poets are very similar in many ways, this is a valuable focus on the science of literary comparison, on the other hand. The repetition technique is seen as a prominent symbol of the poetic style of both poets in terms of belief, which we believe is a fully aware process and is worth considering by the French school. That is why, despite the repeated types of repetition by both poets, we have pointed to the similarity and co-ordination of the worldview of both poets, and we have proved to what extent pirbal's poetry experience has been influenced by The Worldview of Forough Farrokhzad.
Koya District in the Stone Ages
Authors: Khoshnaw Ardalan Othman Hassan , Kawes Hemin Naman
Published: March 2023

The Stone Ages are considered the longest age’s humans have lived on earth. These periods were named after the technical aspect of using stone mainly along with wood and bone to make tools used in one's daily life in those periods. The division of these periods came on the basis of the shape and method of making the stone machines and the types of stones used to make them.

   The Koya district, as a part of the Iraqi-Kurdistan region, includes many archaeological sites dating back to these periods which are represented by a number of caves, shelters, valleys, and river banks, which times date back to different stages of these periods. According to the archaeological surveys that have been carried out in the areas of the Koya district and the visits to different areas of the district and the research that we have carried out, it has become clear to us that the Stone Age of the region, like the rest of the Kurdistan region, is divided into several roles, such as Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic.
Consensus Claims, Problems in Theory and Implimenting, and Obstacles to Ijtihad and Renewing
Authors: Shams Alddin Bakhtyar Najm Alddin
Published: March 2023

It is clear to islamic scholars that consensus (eijmaa) has an important place within the sources of islamic legislations, as our scholars counted it as one of the evidences which they agreed upon, and made it the third evidence after Quraan and the Sunna. So they talked about it in detail, especially in theoretical aspects of its definition and proves, its conditions, its types, the validity of each type, the judge on who violates the consensus, and so on.

  On the practical side, we find that the jurisprudential books are full of claims of its unanimity in hundreds of issues. While a professional reader and investigator of these issues finds it difficult to apply the theoretical conditions of consensus to the collected consensus issues. It is a must in its definition that the some of all scholars in one era have the same opinion, also scientifically known that the defined and its definition must be equal and neither of them must not be more specific or more general than the other, that is to say, it must be a collective interdiction, inclusive of all members of the defined. if we apply the fundamental definition of consensus to the codified collections of Islamic jurisprudence, we will see that there is inequality between the definition and the issues included in the true definition of consensus. The investigation reveals to us that hundreds of issues on which consensus is claimed are the opinion of most of the scholars and not everyone of them.

Hence the idea of this research has developed to solve some issues including:

- The distinction between fundamental consensus and jurisprudential consensus. With explaining of the proportion of righteousness in the consensuses that have been proven in the jurisprudential heritage.

- Statement of the effects of excessive claims of consensus on the Islamic community. also clarifying the disadvantages of excess and neglection in these claims on Ijtihad and innovation, and thus on the flexibility of islamic legeslations (Shariaa) and its harmony with every time and place.

- Statement of the problems related to practicing consensus according to the theory of islamic legeslations principles and to clarify that its impossible to practice these principles on consensus. also to propose alternatives to consensus, finally the most important results presented in the conclusion. only God is always the conciliator of righteousness.

Gender-related problems and gender diversity have always existed in schools. Many fields of school life are created around the role of traditional gender

Schools play a key role in teaching and strengthening the dominant values of culture, particularly in gender. It is true that students go to school from day one, or kindergarten, known as their gender, and are called boys and girls. Their gender is constantly practiced through stories and free plays and interactions with teachers and peers. Schools are a place to seek special relationship with "best friends" in elementary school and "boys' friends" or "girls" about families and learn about relationships. These are the things that the community expects, and much of what happens at school is related to the gender side, which is why it is important for educators to have a strong understanding of how to deal with gender.

This research is a way to raise awareness and show gender issues in the subjects of the education program. Research (in southern Kurdistan) is not sufficient to raise awareness of gender equality in schools. In this study, the texts (the third grade Kurdish reading book) are based on analyzing texts and images, and the results show that the Kurdish study program includes gender inequality. In other words, the image, role and duties of both genders are not taken into consideration equally. The results of this study are an attempt to take into account gender equality (text, images, tasks and roles) when the curriculum is set up.

This study is to describe the deconstruction of femininity and women's resistance meaning in the â€œMotherâ€ movie. This research is a descriptive qualitative text research using main analysis of critical discourse by Sara Mills. The subject is the â€œMotherâ€ movie, a thriller drama directed by Bong Joon-Ho. Collecting data at the text level, especially through documentation and literature studies, and furthermore, data is validated through FGD with experts who have experience and knowledge according to the object of research. The results explain the deconstruction of feminine values and women's resistance meaning in the â€œMotherâ€ movie positioning women as objects. At this level, there is an objectification of women through the main character played by Hye ja, although another tendency appears which also positions women as subjects in the storyline. The emergence of physical and emotional aspects of femininity strengthens the objectification of women in the film. However, there is a dissection on femininity and resistance value in the film due to the emotional dynamics of the main characterâ€™s complex character. Finally, the existence of media as an industry and the power of messages makes the practice of media commodification depends on the owners, so itâ€™s possible that the image of the female character in the film is used to represent a form of media power over the commodification of the message conveyed.
