Modern Muslim Intellectuals and the Quest for an Islamic Episteme: Humanism as a Case Study
Authors: Abdelhamid Mahmoud Ahmed Khalifa Mahmoud
Published: March 2023

Looking for an Islamic humanism in the Western sense of the word is utterly irrelevant to the spirit of Islam which poses man as a vicegerent of God, not as his structural opposite. The essence of all values in Islam issues from God and obedience to God frees man from superstitions and systems that limit his potential by endowing him as a moral agent with the freedom to choose between good and evil. Al-Faruqi & al-Faruqi (1986) show the epistemological biases of Western intellectual traditions which distinguish between two realms of knowing the world: the secular, rational mundane world and the fantastic, irrational religious world. This distinction is not problematic in Arabic Islamic religious tradition and is not the outcome of the separation of church and state.

Introduction: Individuals with spina bifida (SB) may experience negative health outcomes because of an informal transition from pediatric to adult care that results in using the emergency room (ER) for non-acute health problems.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study of all people with SB in Ontario, Canada turning 18 years old between 2002 and 2011. These patients were followed for five years before and after age 18. Primary outcome was the annual rate of ER visits. Secondary outcomes included rates of hospitalization, surgery, primary care, and specialist outpatient care. We estimated the association between age with primary and secondary outcomes using negative binomial growth curve models, adjusting for patient-level baseline covariates.
Results: Among the 1215 individuals with SB, there was no trend of ER visits seen with increasing age (relative risk [RR] 0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.98–1.02); however, there was a significant increase in the rate of ER visits associated with turning 18 years (RR 1.14, 95% CI 1.03–1.27). Turning 18 years old was also associated with a decreased rate of hospital admissions (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.66–0.95) and no change in surgeries (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.64–1.02). Visits to primary care physicians remained stable over the same period (RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.90–1.01), while visits to SB-focused specialists decreased after age 18 (RR 0.81, 95% CI 0.75–0.87).
Conclusions: In patients with SB, the rate of ER visits increased significantly at 18 years old, while hospital admissions and specialist physician visits decreased at the same time. Models of transitional care can aim to reduce non-urgent ER visits and facilitate regular specialist care.
Longevity, Health and Housing Risks Management in Retirement
Authors: Michaud Pierre-Carl , St-Amour Pascal
Published: March 2023

Annuities, long-term care insurance and reverse mortgages remain unpopular to manage longevity, medical and housing price risks after retirement. We analyze low demand using a life-cycle model structurally estimated with a unique stated-preference survey experiment of Canadian households. Low risk aversion, substitution between housing and consumption and low marginal utility when in poor health explain most of the reduced demand. Bequests motives are found to be a luxury good and play a limited role. The remaining disinterest is explained by information frictions and behavioural status-quo biases. We find evidence of strong spousal co-insurance motives motivating LTCI and of responsiveness to bundling with a near doubling of demand for annuities when reverse mortgages can be used to annuitize, instead of consuming home equity

The article examines the socializing multidimensional value of a
fairy tale. The writers claim that the fairy tale is intended to merge
personal, collective, and public concerns in the individual's awareness,
crystallizing the value dimensions of good and evil, handsome and ugly,
strong and weak, righteous and unjust. Taking the presumption that
socialization is established via the modernization of norms, value
systems, and stereotypes as a result of the historical course of
development that are related to society and individual preferences, the
authors supported the game logic of the multidimensional values of fairy
tales. In this perspective, the fairy tale is regarded as a variety of critical
thinking and a normative manifestation of social behavior, in which
cognitive, value, and ontological mechanisms of the individual's
constant socialization are focused. In contrast, the game logic of
socialization in Louis Carroll's and Hovhannes Tumanyan's fairy tales
is studied.

Any rational anesthesia strategy should focus on intraoperative and postoperative pain control. Adverse effects of opioids on the course of the early postoperative period are known.
The aim of our study is to determine the correlations of acute postoperative pain with different types of anesthesia.

Methods
203 patients who underwent abdominal plastic and bariatric surgery were under our observation; 113 (55.67%) of them are women and 90 (44.33%) are men; Among them, 154 patients underwent abdominoplasty, and 49 underwent bariatric surgery.
Standard anesthesia with opioids was administered to 49 (24.14%) patients - group I, multimodal + partial use of opioids - group II: 76 (37.44%), multimodal anesthesia - 78 (38.42%) - group III.

Results
During anesthesia with opioids, compared to the second and third groups, the pain in the operative area, as well as in the head, throat, waist and ears is significantly higher.
During multimodal anesthesia, pain is reliably less in all cases, and pain in the throat was not noted. Correlation analysis showed that opioid anesthesia was significantly correlated with postoperative pain,: Pain in the operated area - r=0.504**, p<0.001; Head pain - r=0.395**, p<0.001; Throat pain - r=0.301**, p<0.001Waist painr=0.320**, <0.001, Muscles pain - r=0.422**, p<0.001
whereas multimodal anesthesia was significantly negatively correlated with all types of postoperative pain.
In the second phase, in the opioid anesthesia group, compared to the second group, there is significantly more pain in the lower back and muscles, and in the third group, there was no pain at all.
The frequency of patients who did not require medical treatment during the intrahospital stage is not significantly different from each other, and the pain requiring non-opioid treatment is significantly less after multimodal anesthesia - Group I - 28(57.14%), Group II - 25(32.89%), Group III - 2(2.56)(p<0.0001). Pain requires opioid medication - Group I - 20(40.82)Group II – 19(25.00%), (p<0.0001). No patient in this group required opioid treatment.
In the ambulatory stage, no patient in the multimodal anesthesia group needed medical treatment, and significantly fewer patients in group II needed non-opioid treatment.

Conclusion
Multimodal anesthesia reduces perioperative pain and the need for perioperative opioid use.
Keywords: Postoperative pain, Multimodal anesthesia, perioperative opioid use.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: Student profiling on the use of technology for teaching, learning and assessment has a potential to enable educators to enhance their transformational teaching strategies.  Therefore, this study explored the views of students on use of technology to facilitate online learning during COVID-19. The study employed a quantitative approach to collect data using a Google Form questionnaire. Nineteen conveniently sampled respondents (38%) were drawn from a population of 50 students registered for first year BSc Microbiology and BSc Environmental Biology in 2021. The collected data was analyzed through descriptive statistics using Microsoft Excel 2010. The findings revealed that during online learning students experienced challenges related to subject knowledge acquisition (63%). Hence; majority (84%) of the students preferred face-to-face or blended teaching learning and assessment to ensure pedagogic access.  It is concluded that students’ exposure to online learning helped improve skills such as typing (79%), internet information searching (95%) and general computer skills (89%). Thus, it is recommended that academics and student should be capacitated with training, and higher education curricula should encourage the use of digital technology, which prepares students to be relevant in the digital society.

Published: March 2023

Xenotransplantation often causes severe immunological rejection. The IκBα (inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B alpha) gene plays an important role in delayed immunological rejection. Research shows that IκBα mutations can mitigate delayed immunological rejection. In the present study, the first exon sequence of the porcine IκBα gene was used to construct a transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) plasmid pair, and we used the double-strand break repair via single strand annealing (SSA) method to examine the knockout efficiency of the TALEN plasmid pair. The results showed that the knockout activity was 3.955, and the difference was extremely significant compared with the control group. A TALEN plasmid pair targeting the first exon sequence of the IκBα gene, was successfully constructed for the first time, and this study lays the foundation for knocking out the porcine IκBα gene to mitigate the delayed immunological rejection induced by xenotransplantation.

Published: March 2023

The present study was carried out on 315 breedable sows of approximately 2-4 years of age irrespective of parity with good body condition in varying managemental conditions under subtropical rainfall areas of Meghalaya. These animals were fed on kitchen wastes with locally available green fodder. The animals those were non return after one month (range 28-34 days) post-breeding, were grouped as positive group (n=215), non-mated pigs as negative group (n=100) and distilled water as control group (n=100). Urine samples were collected in clean, sterilized plastic containers through manual method at farmer's door during natural micturition in the morning and diluted at the ratio of 1:4 with distilled water for pregnancy diagnosis on the same day of collection. Wheat seed with average 85% of germination after 48 h at room temperature was selected for the entire study. In each sterile petri dish, 15 wheat seeds were taken on the blotting paper and 15 ml of diluted urine was added and covered with trays to avoid evaporation, and kept undisturbed for 48 h at room temperature. Test was conducted in triplicate for each animal.Control test was also carried out with the addition of distilled water only to the wheat seeds. The germination inhibition percentage and shoot length (cm) of germinated seeds in each petri dish was recorded and calculated at 48, 72 and 96 h after adding the sample. All data were analysed using two-way ANOVA by SPSS software and expressed as Mean±SE. The mean germination inhibition percentage of wheat seeds was significantly differentbetween pregnant (75.66±3.48), non-pregnant (28.70±2.96) and control (19.48±2.69) groups. Shoot length (cm) was significantly less in pregnant group when compared to non pregnant and control groups, and also significantly different within the group at different time intervals. Mean germination inhibition percentage and reduced shoot length in positive group was indicative of pregnancy status. Hence, it can be concluded that seed germination inhibition is a useful technique to detect pregnancy in pigs as a simple, non-invasive and cost effective method, andmust be popularized among the farmers, veterinary officers and paraveterinary workers for field level application.

Published: March 2023

The best performer hilly chickens in consideration of light and heat were assessed under rural conditions. Based on the survey, the chickens and farm household were selected. The chickens were provided supplementations of concentrate feed (50g/chicken/day). The selected chickens were divided into 3 groups (heat stress, light and control) for the study of their egg production potential. Heat was generated in the chicken's shelter by keeping a black shaded light (Lantern) for 2 to 3 h more after sunset. A lighting device (Lantern) was kept in the chicken's shelter for 2 to 3 h more after sunset for increasing the duration of day light. Temperature and humidity index was calculated from the recorded temperature and humidity. The individual chicken's egg production, egg weight and mature live weight were studied for different types of hilly and non-descriptive desi chickens. It was observed that hilly chickensproduced more eggs than desi. The hen house egg production percentage (19.95%) and yearly egg production (90no/year/chicken) of desi white was significantly higher than spotted hilly (17.29% and 83.4 no egg, respectively) but reddish brown hilly type produced more number (100.80 no/year/chicken) of eggs than all types. The egg weight varied from 41.27 g to 43.85 g. Mature live weight were significantly different between hilly and desi(1438.70 g vs 1309.27 g). Among the 3 treatments, the lighting group hilly chickens produced 7.71 and 5.60 more eggs than control and heat stress group, respectively. One hour lighting length increased egg production by 4 to 5.8%.

Published: March 2023

Two experiments were conducted to study the possibility of utilizing enzyme incubated rape seed meal (RSM) in broiler diets (1 to 42 day of age). The RSM was anaerobically incubated with non-starch polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes (cellulase 1,500 IU, xylanase 250 IU and pectinase 125 IU per kilogram) for 300 minutes (processed RSM1, experiments 1 and 2) and 600 min (processed RSM2, experiment 2). Processed and raw RSM contained similar concentration of glucosinolates (275 and 288 mM/g, respectively). During the experiment 1, maize-soybean meal control diet (CD), two diets with raw (RRSM) and processed RSM (PRSM1) at 100 g/kg each were prepared. In the experiment 2, RRSM, PRSM1 and PRSM2 were included each at 3 levels (50, 100 and 150 g/kg). Each diet was offered to 9 replicates having 5 birds in each. Body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), feed efficiency (FE), ready to cook (RTC) yield and breast weight were depressed by incorporating RRSM (experiments 1, 2). As a result of this study, PRSM1 significantly reduced FI, maintained BWG and improved FE compared to the control group. BWG was not affected by including PRSM1 and PRSM2 up to 100 and 50 g/kg, respectively but depressed at higher inclusion levels compared to the CD. The BWG in processed RSM fed groups were higher than the respective level of raw RSM fed groups. Retention of energy and protein were improved by incorporating processed RSM compared to those fed RRSM. Based on the data, it is concluded that enzyme (cellulase, xylanase and pectinase) incubated RSM for 300 minutes improved the nutritional value, which can be incorporated up to 100 g/kg in broiler diet without affecting performance and slaughter variables, which can be attributed to the improved retention of energy and protein in RSM based diets.

Published: March 2023

Data pertaining to 29,427 lactation records of Frieswal cows maintained at various Military Farms from 1987 to 2015 were used in the study. A prediction equation was developed for the first time for calculating the adjustment factors to mature age and various adjustment factors were calculated based on age in months. In the present study, the mature equivalent age of Frieswal cows were calculated as between 77 and 94 months of age, as the highest milk yield was produced during this age group. Results of the study also clearly indicate that the non-genetic factors like farm, season and period of calving had significant effect on the 305 day mature equivalent milk yield. So the proper management interventions should be followed to improve the performance of Frieswal cows in Military Farms.

Brucellosis is a zoonotic and economically important disease of livestock. Pen side diagnostics are the need of the hour for the rapid diagnosis of brucellosis. The present study aimed to evaluate blood based lateral flow assay (LFA) with serum based LFA and rose bengal plate test (RBPT) for diagnosis of brucellosis. Sera/blood samples [792: cattle, 153; buffalo, 55; sheep, 140; goats, 219; and pigs, 225] were collected from Karnataka, India with history of repeat breeding, retention of placenta and abortion.The seropositivity of brucellosis in cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats and pigs was 7.84, 3.63, 12.85, 2.73 and 39.11% by RBPT; 5.88, 3.63, 8.57, 2.73 and 31.1% by blood-LFA; and 7.18, 3.63, 10.71, 3.19 and 32.88% by serum-LFA. Relative specificity of blood based LFA was between 98.97 to 99.53% and 97.42 to 100% in comparison to serum-LFA and RBPT, respectively in all the species. The relative sensitivity for all the species ranged from 64.29 to 83.33% by blood-LFA and 57.14 to 84.09% by serum-LFA. The diagnostic accuracy of blood-LFA to RBPT and serum- LFA ranged from 91 to 99% among the species studied. It is opined that blood based LFA can serve as diagnostic test in place of serum based LFA for brucellosis screening in multiple livestock species and suggested for adaptation on-farm, slaughter, market, clinical and prepurchase surveillance of brucellosis in the country.

Twenty-one variations (16 SNPs and 5 INDELs) in the intronic region of the OCX-32 gene were detected, including new 9 variants (1500T>A, 1504A>G, 1658A>G, 1668A>T, 1821A>C, 1234 del A, ins CTT, ins TTC, and 1681 del T) in the chicken population (n=120). Fifteen variations (1346A>G, 1373G>A, 1399T>C, 1446C>G, 1500T>A, 1504A>G, 1522G>A, 1530T>A, 1563G>A, 1668A>T, 1743G>T, 1772T>A, 1821A>C, ins TTC, and ins TCT) showed significant association with egg production ratio, weight and age in the chickens. Conclusively, the result obtained suggested that SNPs and INDELs of the OCX-32 gene might be useful as genetic markers for egg production traits in breeding program of the Korean native chicken.

The effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on antioxidative system in drought tolerant (WH 1025) and drought susceptible (WH 1105) wheat varieties was investigated in screen house under control and stress conditions. Mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plants were subjected to water stress by withholding irrigation at different stages of plant growth (i.e. jointing and heading stages). The antioxidant and antioxidative enzymes were estimated in leaves of water stressed and control plants. It was found that drought tolerant and drought susceptible varieties showed different response under drought conditions. Variety WH 1105 suffered greater damage to cellular membrane due to high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as indicated by superoxide radical (O.-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content under stress conditions. Antioxidative enzymes viz. superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POX) were higher in drought tolerant variety. Antioxidative metabolites viz. ascorbic acid and glutathione content was increased in both tolerant and susceptible variety under water stress but with higher magnitude in WH 1025 than WH 1105. Results showed that under water stress conditions, mycorrhizal inoculation significantly decreased the O2 .-, H2O2, and MDA content and enhance the activities of antioxidative enzymes in both the varieties. But it was found that the activity was higher in tolerant variety than susceptible variety under water stress conditions. Hence, overall results suggest that mycorrhizal symbiosis play a vital role in enhancing the activities of antioxidative enzymes and decreasing the ROS content that enables the host plant to sustain the drought conditions.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Acute intestinal obstruction is one of the common surgical emergencies leading to variable amount of morbidity and mortality. Strangulation is the most important factor in influencing the outcome and it is critical to accurately and promptly identify the existence of intestinal strangulation. The objective of the study was to assess the clinicoradiological scores in predicting risk of strangulation in bowel obstruction.

Methods: A prospective study of 50 patients with clinical diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction attending General Surgery department of Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College and Hospital, Salem during January 2021 and September 2022.

Results: Most of the study population is between 51 – 60 years with mean age of 55 years with male predominance. Mean time between admission and surgery is 6 hours. All patients had previous history of surgery, with appendicectomy being most common followed by hollow viscous perforation. Of the 50 patients in the study 19 patients underwent resection. Pain > 4 days, Guarding, Total leucocyte count > 10000/mm3, CRP > 75mg/dl, reduced contrast enhancement in CECT is frequently found in strangulated obstruction. On comparing with Schwenter score, of 36 patients who scored 0 -3, 5 patients underwent resection whereas all 14 patients who scored > 4 underwent resection.

Conclusions: A combination of clinical, laboratory and radiological parameters helps in earlier prediction of risk of ischaemia in acute intestinal obstruction and timely intervention.

The evaluation of contamination by heavy metals in the Lower Lake of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh India, is the primary topic of the current investigation. A two-year assessment of the lake's water quality was conducted for this study. The area under study receives domestic raw sewage from surrounding populations; and also the activities such as cattle washing, cloth washing, bathing, and religious activities (like idol immersion etc.) paves the way for high concentration of harmful chemicals in the lake water. The investigation was focused on heavy elements including Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), and were determined by using AAS according to the Standard Methods (APHA, 2010). The water quality of the Lower Lake Bhopal reveals that although the situation is not too bad, however in future if the inflow of untreated domestic sewage and dumping of solid wastes continues, the quality of the lake's water may further deteriorate to an alarming level. The conclusions of this study emphasize that appropriate conservation and management plans and strategies should be formulated and implemented, at the governmental and public levels, for the restoration, conservation, and management of this body of water.

Published: March 2023

Kovid-19 salgını insan psikolojisine dair bir tehdit oluşturmakta ve anksiyete seviyesinde artışa sebep olabilmektedir. Bireyler salgın sürecindeki belirsizlikle birlikte sağlık, ekonomi, eğitim ya da gelecek gibi farklı alanlar hakkında endişe duymaktadırlar. Bu nedenle, Yaygın Anksiyete Bozukluğu (YAB) semptomlarında artış olması beklenmektedir. Mevcut çalışma, Kovid-19 kaynaklı endişe ve YAB semptomları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi ve farkındalık, bilişsel kontrol ve bilişsel esneklik faktörlerinin bu ilişki üzerindeki aracı rollerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Bu çalışmaya 18 ile 75 yaşları arasındaki 458 kişi katılmıştır (%78.4 kadın, %21.6 erkek). Veriler Kovid-19 kaynaklı endişe (KKE), YAB semptomları, Bilinçli Farkındalık (BF), Bilişsel Esneklik (BE) ve Bilişsel Kontrol (BK) öz-bildirim ölçekleri kullanılarak çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Mevcut çalışmanın sonuçları, KKE’nin YAB semptomlarını anlamlı biçimde yordadığını göstermiştir. Salgının sonuçlarına ilişkin endişeler arttıkça YAB semptomları da artmaktadır. Dahası, bu ilişkiye BF ve BK aracı etmektedir. Bilinçli farkındalığı ve BK yüksek olan kişiler daha az YAB semptomu raporlamışlardır. BE kaygı semptomlarını azalttığı bilinse de aracı rolü bu ilişkide anlamlı bulunmamıştır. YAB’da, bireylerin kaygıları gerçek dışı olmasa da çoğunlukla gerçek bir tehdit ile de bağlantılı değildir. Fakat salgına ilişkin endişeler gerçek bir tehdit ile ilişkili olduğundan salgın hakkındaki inançlar ve düşünceler işlevsiz olmayabilir. Bu inançları değiştirmektense, bilişsel kontrolde olduğu gibi, dikkati amaç doğrultusunda yönlendirebilme becerisine sahip olmak daha anlamlı olabilir. Ayrıca, salgın pek çok insanı olumsuz etkilemiştir. Bu deneyimleri yargılayıcı olmayan bir şekilde kabul etmek daha işlevsel bir yol olabilir. Sonuçlarımız, salgın sırasında YAB semptomlarına sahip olan bireylerin bilinçli farkındalık ve bilişsel kontrol temelli müdahalelerden faydalanabileceğini vurgulamaktadır.
