تضمن هذا البحث مسائل متعلقة بأحاديث صوم عاشوراء وما فيها من العلل الدقيقة التي سببت لبعض أهل العلم إشكالات في فهم أحاديث الباب، وزاد من الإشكالية في ذلك أن تلك العلل قد ورد بعضها في ثنايا أحاديث صحيحة بل في الصحيحين، فتولد عن تلك الألفاظ إشكالية في الجمع بين الأحاديث ومن ذلك: أحاديث تشير إلى أن النبي صام عاشوراء قبل أن يبعث مع قومه، وأخرى تشير إلى أنه صامه بعد قدومه للمدينة لما رأى اليهود تصومه، وأخرى ورد فيها أنه لم يكتب على الناس، وأخرى تشير إلى وجوبه، ومنها ما يشير إلى ترك صومه بعد فرض رمضان، ومنها ما يدل على أن صومه بعد فرض رمضان لا يزال مأموراً به. بل نقل جماعة من أهل العلم عن ابن عباس  أنه يرى أن عاشوراء هو التاسع من المحرم لا العاشر. فتم دراسة أحاديث الباب دراسة تعليلية جمعت فيها روايات الحديث الواحد ونظرت في طرقه وقارنت بينها فظهر لي من وراء ذلك نتائج سيجدها الناظر في خاتمة البحث، وهي نتائج غير مسبوقة فيما أعلم انتظمت أحاديث صوم يوم عاشوراء بعد أن بينت الدراسة الوهم الذي وقع في الروايات وتسبب في إشكاليات حديث الباب.

Published: June 2023

Attainment of SDGs by Pakistan and emphasis on hygiene and sanitation during and after COVID-19 pandemic signifies importance of current study which analyzes the effect of conditions of water, sanitation and hygiene facilities at household level on child health. This study uses household data from PSLM Survey 2018-2019. Results of zero-inflated poisson regression reveal that a one-unit increase in household water poverty significantly increases expected log outcome of the number of children with diarrhoea. One-unit increase in sanitation poverty increases expected log of number of children with diarrhoea significantly by 1.462. A one-unit increase in household multidimensional hygiene poverty of the household insignificantly increases the expected log of number of children under age five with diarrhea. Rural households have more children affected from diarrhea when household is multidimensional water, sanitation and hygiene poor compared to urban households. There is a significantly high impact on child health in Balochistan and Sindh if water, sanitation, and hygiene poverty increases by one unit with households in KP as reference group. Household characteristics like type of wall, floor, and roof significantly determine the expected change in the log number of children suffering from diarrhea in a water-poor, sanitation poor and hygiene poor household in Pakistan. The study recommends targeted and stern policy formulation along with the effective implementation of existing policies to attain the associated sustainable development goals.

It is mean the management accounting applied to PT. PLN (Persero) UP3 Medan is effective in influencing decision-making. Decision-making from the head of the organization affects the implementation of the tasks assigned to subordinates because the decisions taken by a leader are expressed in the form of words and formulated in a regulation, order, instruction, policy, and other forms desired by the leader. Errors in decision-making by leaders such as the preparation of subordinate task implementation guidelines can result in errors in the implementation of employee (subordinate) tasks which in turn can hinder the achievement of organizational goals. This can happen because the guidelines for carrying out the tasks given by the leadership are not clear. The task implementation guidelines are less clear due to the lack of effectiveness of the leadership in decision-making.

Pedagogical Awareness in Primary Schools: The Role of Teachers in Creating Stressful Events and their Impact on Future Primary Teachers’ Development
Authors: Anastasakis Marinos , Vasilaki Eleni
Published: June 2023

Despite the evidence supporting the significant role of school life events on students’ learning and well-being, little attention is currently reserved for school life events in the literature. In the case of mathematics, there is an agreement that school life events related to primary teachers’ in-class practices and perceived as stressful by students, affect negatively the quality of their learning. Within a framework combining cognitive and pedagogical approaches, we investigated stressful school life events in primary educational settings and their relation to a teacher’s pedagogical knowledge. For the study, data were collected by interviewing a cohort of future primary teachers about their experiences when they were pupils. By using a qualitative text analysis approach, we identified three thematic groups of school life events. We conclude by highlighting the need for communicating to the wider academic and teacher community the vital role that stressful school life events play on students’ learning and well-being.

Authors: Gupta S. K. , Sachan N. , Chandra P. , Sharma A. K.
Published: June 2023

The current work reflects a simple, robustic, accurate, precise, rapid and stable RP-HPLC method and validates it for quantifying Dacarbazine in API and its parenteral preparation. it is based on identification of drug in reversed phase mode using HPLC. The mobile phase consist of mixture of 960ml of 0.5% v/v glacial acetic acid, added with 0.94g of n-hexane sulphonic acid sodium salt monohydrated and 40 ml of methanol. The drug was detected at 329nm wavelength. The method was later validated as per guidelines proposed by ICH. The drug was exposed to variable stressed conditions and was analyzed by proposed method. The chromatogram reflects no inference from degradative product, excipients or impurities. However, drug under various stress degradation conditions reflects that it is highly susceptible to oxidative condition as 21.89% of drug was degraded. In acidic and alkaline conditions, the drug was degraded by 14.96% and 11.31% respectively, while thermal and photolytic condition causes least degradation, i.e. 1.08% and 1.15% respectively. The proposed method was found to be accurate, reproducible and linear. Thus can be applicable for the quantitative estimation of Dacarbazine and can be successfully applied in the quality control of API and its parenteral preparation.

The chromatographic separation was achieved on Agilent Zorbax Bonus-RP (250 x 4.6mm, 5µ) using mobile phase of 20 ACN-80 0.1% TFA. Detection was carried out at 280 nm using PDA detector with flow rate of 1 ml/min and temperature of 30℃. Result: The method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The percent recovery was found to be within limit and %RSD for deferiprone and the impurity was found to be 0.09 and 0.48. The standard curve was linear over the concentration range of 60-140µg/ml and shows correlation coefficient (r2) of 1. The LOD and LOQ values for deferiprone were found to be 0.21µg/ml and 0.62µg/ml respectively. The method was found to be robust even by change in flow rate of ±0.2ml/min. Conclusion: Validation studies demonstrated that the proposed HPLC method is specific, reliable, rapid and reproducible. The developed method can be successfully employed for routine analysis for deferiprone in pharmaceutical dosage form.

Drug design, commonly known as rational drug design, is the novel process to develop new medications based on existing knowledge of the required biological target. The term drug design can be misleading by taking its literal meaning. It is a design of a small molecule that will bind tightly to its target. This present work on the anti-oxidant activity of rutin by inhibiting the normal functioning of lambda-class GSTLs of specific xenobiotic inducible GSTLs, TaGSTL1 has been observed that it firmly bind the rutin. The pharmacophore pattern and 2D- and 3D- descriptors of rutin were derived and analyzed to determine the structural features that govern the anti-oxidant activity. The Physico-chemical parameters of rutin were also studied and presented in this article.

Ready supplementary food has been the best choice to arrest hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. To develop low-cost with high nutritious supplementary food with locally available ingredients those fill up the requirements of nutrients of Indians per day at different age groups according to recommended dietary allowance. To prevent malnutrition and keep children healthy, the ICDS center provides several foods, one of which is poushtic laddu, which is made with rice, wheat, groundnut, gram flour, and sugar. The women of the self-help group mainly make these nutritious laddu ingredients and provide them to the ICDS center. There are currently several ICDS centers offering poushtic powders made by CINI known as Nutrimix, which is advised to feed the children as laddu at home. This laddu powder lags far behind in terms of nutrition and phytochemicals, this is the reason for submitting the report to improve the quality of this laddu in terms of nutrition. Three different poushtic powders were prepared, marked as P, PC, and PI by healthy and nutritious food ingredients which are locally available in the market and environment. After experiments, it was found that P, PI, and PC are best for protein (28.315g), iron (23.77mg), and calcium (325.502mg) content respectively. A sufficient amount of macro and micronutrients is present in all types of poushtic powders. Phytochemicals like ascorbic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, valinic acid, routine, trans-cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol are found to be present. Antioxidant activity like FRAP (12.854µmol/gm), ABTS (19.217µmol/gm) and DPPH (19.167µmol/gm) high in PC sample. Every poushtic powder is good in one way or another. SEM determines morphology and particle size with a correlation with hardness and fineness. The shelf life of the products is determined by different types of storage containers. In this study cost of the three products is analyzed for product marketing. Locally available ingredients help to prepare the low cost with high healthy and nutritious ready to supplementary food products that improve human health and nutritional status. The innovation of poushtic powder is the production of a low-cost supplemental product using locally accessible, nutritionally fortified ingredients, allowing those from poor socioeconomic groups to benefit. At the same time, villagers have the potential to turn it into a small-scale company and profit from it in the future.

Although non-invasive transdermal application of various pharmaco-therapeutic drugs via phonophoresis (PH) is widely used in physical therapy, the influence of the type of medium in which the drug is prepared and mode of ultrasound on drug absorption is hardly explored. Hence, the same formed the aim of this study. In this study, serum concentration of diclofenac sodium (DS) was quantified and compared between gel and cream medium, using continuous mode (CTUS) and pulsed (PTUS) mode of Therapeutic Ultrasound (TUS) respectively. Study was conducted on eight healthy adult rabbits with 1% DS in gel and cream as topical application (TA) and PH using TUS of 1 MHz with 1 W/cm2 in CTUS and 20% PTUS respectively for 8 minutes during each session. Blood samples were analysed for drug concentration in serum by High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay. Comparison of DS concentration in plasma showed a significant difference with cream than gel medium in both CTUS (p=<.001) and PTUS (p=.005) mode. For the modes of TUS, PTUS showed significance against TA in both gel (p= <.001) and cream (p=.001) and with CTUS better with TA in cream (p = 0.003) medium. The transdermal drug absorption was significantly higher in the cream than gel medium, having similar results between continuous and pulsed TUS. PH also confirmed significantly higher drug absorption than TA in both media and modes of TUS.

Currently, there is no availability of any proven specific treatment or prevention strategy to fight against COVID-19. Convalescent plasma (CP) therapy is expected to increase survival rates in COVID-19 as in the case of emerging viral infection (SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV). To collect all the studies relevant to CP therapy in critically ill or severe COVID-19 patients and summarize the findings. The systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA consensus statement. A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases on April 25, 2020. A total of six studies (28 patients) relevant to CP therapy in severe or critical COVID-19 are considered for inclusion. Two authors extracted the data about study characteristics, demographics, symptoms, co-morbidities, clinical classification of COVID-19, drug therapies, oxygen therapy, laboratory results, chest CT, neutralizing antibody titer, SARS-CoV-2 RNA load, aal outcome. The review findings revealed that CP therapy increases lymphocyte count, reduced s serum inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, Procalcitonin) and liver enzyme levels (AST or ALT). There was a rise in serum neutralizing antibody titers in 10 of 14 patients after CP transfusion. In 4 of 14 patients, the titer levels remain unchanged after CP transfusion. All 28 cases (100%) achieved negative to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA after CP transfusion. The convalescent plasma transfusion can improve neutralizing antibody titers and reduces the viral load in severe/critical COVID-19 patients. The review recommends a well-controlled trial design is required to give a definite statement on the safety and efficacy of convalescent plasma therapy in severe/critical COVID-19.

The most widely prescribed pain and fever reliever in both the United States and Europe is acetaminophen, also referred to as paracetamol. It is included on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medications, which includes the best and safest medications required in a healthcare system. Although acetaminophen overdose has been related to fatal and nonfatal hepatic necrosis since 1966, it is generally safe when used at standard therapeutic levels (up to 4000 mg per 24 hours). It involves fundamental metabolic pathways that actually occur on microsomes in hepatocytes, and overdosing on acetaminophen causes liver damage followed by liver failure. The typical acetaminophen overdose remedy is N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is administered to all patients at high risk of liver toxicity. The standard of therapy is NAC medication, although for some people, liver transplantation may be a life-saving procedure. We shall explore the safety of acetaminophen in associated with liver injury in this review article, particularly in terms of epidemiology, pharmacokinetic, hepatotoxicity, clinical presentation, and the treatment.
