A Research Article on Marriage Customs of Sindh in The Teaching of Islam
Authors: Shaikh Muhammad Ali
Published: September 2022

Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) came as a messenger for the whole world. The Prophet (PBUH) has guided us in all matters of life and death. One of the most important human needs is marriage. Islam has stated the rules of marriage and conjugal life and has also declared it as an excellent means of worship and protection of faith. The concept of Islamic marriage is very simple. The Holy Prophet (PBUH), the Companions (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the saints and scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them all) performed this duty with simplicity and set the best example for us. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) teaches us that when someone gives you the message of marriage whose religion and morals you like, marry him (your daughter. If you do not do this, there will be strife in the land and great mischief. Alas! In modern times, we ourselves have made it difficult for a tradition like marriage with haraam customs, illegitimate restrictions and wasteful spending, which in our society has increased evils like usury, fights and hatred and revenge. Here are some of the common customs and reasons that make marriage difficult: Engagement In our society, millions of rupees is spent on exhibitions and various invitations in the name of engagement. The long list of demands in the name of dowry repeatedly makes the bridegroom indebted to millions. In addition to the extravagant expenses incurred in these ceremonies, the manner in which shame and modesty and honor are shed brings tears to the eyes of those who are in pain of religion. Therefore, every Muslim should follow the Shariah and give up all the useless and illegitimate haraam customs and traditions and perform the marriage according to the Sunnah of Holy Prophet (PBUH).

Published: September 2022

Transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) are used to deliver the drug(s) or the therapeutically active substances through topical route primarily through skin. Relatively very small numbers of drugs are administered transdermally because in many cases the physical properties of drugs, including polarity and molecular size, have limited its capacity to deliver the particular dug transdermally. Now a day’s transdermal drug delivery techniques are used in various therapeutic areas like motion sickness management, heart disease treatment, hormones replacement, management of pain and smoking cessation etc. TDDS increases the potency of drugs and decreases the relative side effects. We reviewed different approaches used to enhance the drug delivery transdermally (e.g., particulate and vesicle based method, modified stratum corneum method, electrically based method, vehicle interaction method, removed stratum corneum method). As the stratum corneum is the main barrier in transdermal drug delivery, so the approaches can also be classified in three main categories in order to circumventing the barriers related to stratum corneum only (based on drug vehicle, chemical enhancers, physical enhancers). Here we focused mainly on the microneedles (MNs) based approach for transdermal drug delivery.

Published: September 2022

For the determination of the assay of voriconazole in bulk and in pharmaceutical dosage forms, a novel stability indicating RP-HPLC method was designed and validated, exhibiting a very low run time. The stability-indicating nature of the approach is supported by the fact that it is unique, quick, precise, accurate, and capable of isolating the voriconazole peak from any contaminating or degrading components. Isocratic elution on a 100 mm x 4.6 mm, 3μm agilent C18 column at 45°C and a UV detection wavelength of 256 nm constitutes the analytical procedure at at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. After injecting 20µL of voriconazole sample, the elution peak occurred at 3.5 minutes, and the entire run time was 15 minutes. Between 98% and 102% was a reasonable range for the percentage of recovery. It was determined that the method's RSD for precision and accuracy was less than 2%. The method has been verified for routine analysis of voriconazole in bulk materials and its formulations according to the standards established by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH).

Published: September 2022

To ensure the sustainability of the agricultural sector, some special arrangements should be made to increase farmers’ access to credit through input loans. This study on the effect of input value chain financing on rice farmer’s efficiency in the Value Chain Development Programme, Awka; specifically looks at the value chain financing options obtainable; its economic implication; its effect on food security, determinants of value chain financing effect on food security, and the efficiency of value chain financing on rice production sector. Data was collected from a cross-section of 200 farmers using a value chain financing arrangement. Descriptive statistics, multinomial logistic regression and data envelopment analysis were used for data analysis. The study revealed that 88.2% of the farmers received a certain percentage of input loan support, whereas, 78.2% received total input loan support. To the general economy of the nation, input value chain financing encourages early planting (87.1%), and enables the farmers to access production inputs (85.9%) which eventually springs forth food security in the country. Equally, the study found that value chain financing spurred 73.5% of the farmers to food security, while only 26.5% are food insecure. The food security index was 0.67 with a food security line of 38.3 USD for the farming household. We also discovered that a certain percentage of input loan support, guaranteeing farmers' financial loan applications and helping the farmers to pay for insurance premiums are the three determinants of relative food security. Whereas; certain percentage input loan, 100% input loan by value chain actors, and supports in payment of insurance premium are the four determinants of absolute food security in the study. The study, therefore, recommends that value chain financing should be adopted by stakeholders and policymakers to ensure the availability of credit to farmers.

Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 13. Prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis by age group was highest in 20-29 years, high in 30-39 years and ≥50 years and least in 10-19 years old individuals. Females had a slightly higher prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis than males. Youthful behavior of active participation in social activities and advanced age health associated factors contributed to the high prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis amongst the participants. There was no significant relationship between pulmonary tuberculosis disease and demography; - age group and sex (P-value = 0.24). All pulmonary tuberculosis cases presented with persistent fevers, coughs for ≥ 2 weeks, night sweats and noticeable weight loss in the hierarchical order. The relationship between pulmonary tuberculosis disease and clinical symptoms; - persistent fevers, cough, noticeable weight loss and night sweats (P-values; <0.001, <0.001, 0.001 and <0.001 respectively) was significant. Age and clinical symptoms are important pulmonary tuberculosis control hotspots.

This study focused on the problems of disparities in sanitation infrastructure and their consequences on the environment and health in the city of Cotonou. The methodology focuses on documentary research, sociological surveys by questionnaire, direct observation using an observation grid. A total of 10 boroughs and 20 neighborhoods were covered. The Accelerated Participatory Research Method (MARP) was used to reach households in order to have their perceptions on the causes of floods and sanitation problems, their impacts on the environment and health. The model (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) served as the basis for the analysis and interpretation of the results. The cartographic data was processed using GIS software. The maps were drawn up using the topographic base map from the National Geographic Institute (IGN). The results obtained show that there are significant differences in terms of sanitation in Cotonou.This is partly due to the irregular settlement of populations in unhealthy areas where the land have not been serviced in time. As far as the collectors are concerned, there are arrondissements which are not or poorly provided for, whereas the need is real. This is the case of the 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 12th, arrondissements. This same trend is observed with the paved roads and gutters in these respective arrondissements. It has been observed that the majority of domestic wastewater is discharged on the ground, outside or in the courtyard of the concessions (87% households) and this is explained by the fact that the majority of households do not have pits for the collection of this water. The water from the shower is collected in the pits (77% of households) or is left to infiltrate directly into the ground (40% of households). The existence of sewage streams and uncontrolled deposits of solid waste in the city are certainly one of the causes of ailments such as malaria, diarrhea, and acute respiratory ailments.

Enough sleep is crucial for physical and emotional growth of kids and students. It has been noted that there is a progressive decline in bedtime as kids turn into teens, despite the fact that the need for sleep among students does not decrease. Teenagers need for sleep has been estimated as much as 9.2 h per day. Poor sleep has actually been noted to lead to poor diet regimen, excessive weight, stunted growth, psychological health concerns, as well as chemical abuse. Much as the need for sleep is an individual particular, approximately at least 8.3 hrs. of rest per evening is recommended for teens, to avoid excessive daytime drowsiness. High quality sleep is necessary for young professional athletes for making sure much better performance in psychomotor as well as cognitive activities, and for minimizing the chances of creating challenging factors for musculoskeletal discomfort. Detection of sleep disorders in adolescent complaining of sleeplessness is a day-to-day challenge for doctors and clients alike. The purpose of the research study was to assess the prevalence of sleep hygiene awareness, practices and quality among elementary schools students in Canada. The study was a literature based. The research discovered that a boost in the occurrence of difficulty in getting sleep and in too much screen time exposure and marginal increase in physical activity levels. In addition, teens exceeding 2-h everyday display time had 20% higher probabilities of reporting sleep-onset problems, while no association was discovered for physical activity. The study also discovered that a regular every night routine aids the body recognize that it is going to bed; this could consist of taking warm shower or bathroom, checking out a publication, or light stretches. Whenever feasible it is essential for the students to try to avoid emotionally distressing conversations and activities before attempting to sleep considering that maintaining a routine sleep timetable also on weekends keeps the timing of the body's body clock and also can aid you fall asleep and wake up much more quickly. Based on the finding, the research study concluded that the daily substances that students take, the medicines one takes, how long they sleep in a day and exactly how they choose to invest their nights can considerably influence their quality of sleep. Also a couple of mild adjustments can, in many cases indicate the difference between sound rest as well as a restless evening. Finishing a two-week rest diary can help one understand how their routines impact their sleep. The study suggested that teenagers must reserve no more than eight hrs. For sleep given that the suggested quantity of sleep for a healthy grownup goes to least 7 hrs. Keywords: Sleep Hygiene, Awareness, Sleep Quality, Sleep Disorder, Students
Hibbertia subvillosa (Dilleniaceae), a new Western Australian species segregated from H. striata

Published: September 2022

The south-west Western Australian species Hibbertia striata (Steud.) K.R.Thiele was reinstated in 2017, segregated from the historically misunderstood H. huegelii (Endl.) F.Muell. Since that time, field work has shown that H. striata comprises two distinctly different morphotypes. Plants from the eastern (drier) edge of the range are consistently single-stemmed at the base and are obligate reseeders after fire and other disturbances, in contrast to a more widespread morphotype (which includes the type of H. striata), that is abundantly multi-stemmed from the base and is a resprouter after fire. The difference in habit is consistent, has been observed at multiple locations and is consistently associated with distinct (though subtle) differences in leaf indumentum and morphology. The two morphotypes have not been found growing in mixed populations, due to habitat differences. Field work has shown that they are narrowly sympatric and do not intergrade where they approach each other; for this reason, and the consistency of both morphotypes over a wide range, they are regarded here as distinct species. The reseeding taxon has a validly published name, H. huegelii (Endl.) F.Muell. var. subvillosa Domin, and this is raised here to species rank as Hibbertia subvillosa (Domin) K.R.Thiele & T.Hammer.
