Authors: Mehboob Muhammad Sajid , Ahmed Hafiz Iftikhar
Published: October 2021

Teachings of Islam are universal. The Holy Quran and Hadith have been sent for the guidance of mankind in every sphere of life. Islam stresses on neat and clean environment whether it is for individual or for society. Islam allows us to eat only lawful and clean food stuff. As there are instructions of the Holy Prophet (Allah's Mercy & Peace Be Upon Him) about eating that it should be moderately; for eating excessively causes harm to our biological systems. Many diseases are due to uncontrolled eating habits such as, vascular diseases, diabetes, heart attack, stroke, etc.

Islam forbids us to use many things like intoxications because these are harmful for health. As it forbids to eat the meat of some animals because it leads us to many other physical and spiritual diseases.

This paper aims at briefly specifying an analytical approach for the understanding of diet and nutrition in Islam and its effects on the promotion of health within the society. The Qur'an and other Islamic literature on Hadiths (Traditions), Figh (Jurisprudence) and traditional medicine are studied.And this article will explain the items that are detrimental to human health. And in the light of Islamic teachings of hazardous substances have also been suggested.

             This article will be very useful in addressing the harmful health elements of the modern era. This article describes the hazardous elements that are presently found and their solutions to the Quran and Hadith.

Consumption of fresh vegetable salad has increased all around the world. Many consumers strive to eat healthy diets to protect themselves from illnesses such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Besides the health benefits, vegetable salad has been associated with outbreaks of food borne disease in many countries. Various health problems can arise from the consumption of contaminated prepared salad if hygiene practices are not adhered to. The study assessed the relationship between the personal hygiene of the food handlers and the bacteriological quality of the vegetable salad in registered private hospitals’ in Mombasa County. Laboratory tests were carried out to isolate and identify Escherichia coli strains from 180 prepared homogenate samples from carrots, tomatoes, and lettuce using standard media, biochemical tests and serology where applicable. Cultures were only considered positive when unsatisfactory limits were met, that is, E. coli ≥10 2 cfu /g. An observation method was used to assess the personal hygiene practices of 135 food handlers in private hospitals. Escherichia coli organism was predominantly present in the vegetable salad cultures. Escherichia coli in tomato samples; before washing 11.7 (%); preparation stage 8.3 (%) and service stage 13.3 (%). In lettuce samples, Escherichia coli isolated: before washing 31.7 (%); preparation stage 8.3 (%) and service stage 13.3(%). While in carrot samples: before washing 25 (%); preparation stage 10 (%) and service stage 18.3(%). Results of the Multiple linear regression analysis indicated an overall significant causal relationship between the personal hygiene of the food handlers {Personal Protective Equipment use (scale 5-1), Good grooming (scale 5-1), good practice (scale 5-1), Hand Hygiene (scale 5-1), physical examination (scale 5-1)} and the bacteriological quality of the vegetable salad in private hospitals in Mombasa County. The study recommends that the Ministry of Health, in particular the public health department should identify a monitoring and surveillance team to carry out spot checks on food production areas and assess their capacity in terms of personnel, facilities and equipment.

Authors: Mewar Muhammad Rafi Athallah
Published: October 2021

Abstrak

Selain ekonomi dan kesehatan, dampak lain dari pandemi COVID-19 ini juga berdampak kepada moralitas seseorang khususnya para remaja di Indonesia ini. Pentingnya pendidikan moral di masa pandemi ini khusus para remaja memang sangat diperlukan. Pasalnya jika hal tersebut tidak bisa cepat diselesaikan, maka dampak dari krisis moralitas akan menjadi panjang. Krisis moral yang tengah terjadi di Indonesia ini cukup banyak, misalnya anak muda kita sudah mulai menghilangkan budaya berkata “tolong”, “maaf”, dan ”terima kasih”. Ketiga hal tersebut merupakan hal dasar dalam beretika, dan kini hal dasar dalam beretika saja mereka tidak gunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Hal tersebut terjadi karena para remaja Indonesia kurang melakukan literasi dan menyaring budaya luar yang masuk ke dalam negeri kita. Dengan melakukan pendidikan karakter kepada mereka dan membantu mereka untuk memperbaiki moralitas mereka, maka krisis moralitas yang tengah terjadi bisa perlahan diperbaiki dan dampak baik tersebut akan berpengaruh besar terhadap generasi anak muda yang akan datang.

Abstract

In addition to the economy and health, other impacts of the COVID-19 virus pandemic also have an impact on one's morality, especially teenagers in Indonesia. The importance of moral education in this pandemic period, especially for teenagers, is needed. The reason is that if this cannot be resolved quickly, the impact of the morality crisis will belong. There are many moral crises currently happening in Indonesia, for example, our young people have started to eliminate the culture of saying “please”, ”sorry”, and “thank you”. These three things are basic things in ethics, and now they don't use the basic things in ethics in everyday life. This happens because Indonesian youth lack literacy and filter out foreign cultures that enter our country. By conducting character education for them and helping them to improve their morality, the current moral crisis can be slowly remedied and this good impact will have a major impact on the next generation of young people.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was brought in to serve as a legislation that could essentially assist in reorganizing the flow of healthcare information, prescribing how sensitive medical data stored with healthcare/insurance firms should be protected from stealing and tampering. It has served as a pioneer in the world of privacy in healthcare and set one of the earliest benchmarks for any legal instruments regarding the storing and dissemination of medical information in the form of electronic health records. The HITECH act of 2009 and the HIPAA omnibus rule of 2013 further cemented the use of standardized frameworks which can help control, reduce and track any possible breaches of confidentiality and integrity of such personal information. This paper explores the content, reasoning, and timeline of the HIPAA act and the impact it creates on the health information technology sector. It also explains the challenges that are faced in the implementation of the policy and gives a holistic perspective of the rights and responsibilities of each stakeholder involved.

Guardians of the IoT Galaxy: Using Deep Learning to Secure IoT Networks Against Botnet Attacks
Authors:   American University in the Emirates, Dubai, UAE, Al-Masri Ahmed N. Al ,   LTU University of Technology, Sweden, Mokayed Hamam
Published: October 2021

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the way we live and work, with billions of interconnected devices continuously exchanging data. However, the increasing adoption of IoT devices has also made them an attractive target for cybercriminals. Botnets, a network of compromised devices that can be remotely controlled by attackers, are one of the most significant threats to IoT networks. Traditional security solutions are insufficient to combat this threat, as they often rely on signature-based detection methods that can be easily bypassed by attackers. This work proposes an applied deep learning-based approach to secure IoT networks against botnet attacks, based on residual learning architecture that combine convolutional neural network to analyze device behavior and identify abnormal activity patterns that may indicate botnet infection. Our approach is evaluated on real-world BotNet dataset and achieved a high detection rate of botnet activity, outperforming traditional detection methods. The empirical findings show that ours can be used as a tool for developing more advanced and adaptive security solutions to safeguard the IoT galaxy.

A well-established IR temperature biosensor will be implanted in the face mask and connected to the mobile phone using App (Seek thermal) to allow temperature monitoring. Artificial Intelligence can play a vital role in the fight against COVID-19. AI is being successfully used in the identification of disease clusters, monitoring of cases, prediction of the future outbreaks, mortality risk, diagnosis of COVID-19, disease management by resource allocation, facilitating training, record maintenance and pattern recognition for studying the disease trend. Therefore, AI is used as a type of alarm which be connected through Global Position System (GPS) to a central networking system to monitor the crowded areas of probable infections. In this case, the hospital in this neighborhood will be charged to let a mobile unit of assessment travel quickly to the infected people areas.
Managing a Secure JSON Web Token Implementation By Handling Cryptographic Key Management for JWT Signature in REST API: : A survey
Authors:   Faculty of Computers  ; Informatics, Zagazig University, Department of Information Technology, admin admin
Published: October 2021

JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact and self-contained mechanism, digitally authenticated and trusted, for transmitting data between various parties. They are mainly used for implementing stateless authentication mechanisms. The Open Authorization (OAuth 2.0) implementations are using JWTs for their access tokens. OAuth 2.0 and JWT are used token frameworks or standards for authorizing access to REST APIs because of their statelessness and the signature implementation. The most important cryptographic algorithms were tested namely a symmetric algorithm HS256 (HMAC with SHA-256) and an asymmetric algorithm RS256 (RSA Signature with SHA-256) used to construct JWT for signing token based on several parameters of the speed of generating tokens, the size of tokens, time data transfer tokens and security of tokens against attacks.In this research,we propose an approach used for handling cryptographic key management for signing RS256 tokens to ensure the security of the application's architecture. JWT offer a variety of options to manage keys, the server always needs to verify the validity of the key before trusting it for verify that a JWT implementation is secure.The experimental results show It's better to use the RS256 signature method for handling cryptographic key management for signing tokens to manage a secure JWT Implementation

Authors:   Visiting Professor, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, Australia, Alshehri Mohammad
Published: October 2021

Presently, a precise localization and tracking process becomes significant to enable smartphone-assisted navigation to maximize accuracy in the real-time environment. Fingerprint-based localization is the commonly available model for accomplishing effective outcomes. With this motivation, this study focuses on designing efficient smartphone-assisted indoor localization and tracking models using the glowworm swarm optimization (ILT-GSO) algorithm. The ILT-GSO algorithm involves creating a GSO algorithm based on the light-emissive characteristics of glowworms to determine the location. In addition, the Kalman filter is applied to mitigate the estimation process and update the initial position of the glowworms. A wide range of experiments was carried out, and the results are investigated in terms of distinct evaluation metrics. The simulation outcome demonstrated considerable enhancement in the real-time environment and reduced the computational complexity. The ILT-GSO algorithm has resulted in an increased localization performance with minimal error over the recent techniques.

Due to emerging technological developments, major enhancements are taking place in the area of a secure and quick transaction. BioPay being a secure payment method is a one-step ahead. In the proposed methodology, there is no involvement of any credit or debit card or any other account information like OTP or CVV; it solely depends upon some unique identifying characteristic of a human known as biometrics. This work proposes a novel method that allows users to complete transactions quickly and securely using face and finger recognition. The transaction initiates with scanning face features and matching it with the database which in turn retrieves all the information associated with that customer account. After that, the system will scan the fingerprints of the subject and verify the transaction. This methodology can be implemented in ATMs and smartphones resulting in enhanced security and flexibility for payment purposes.

COVID-19, Oil Price, Bitcoin, and US Economic Policy Uncertainty: Evidence from ARDL Model
Authors: Naser Hanan
Published: October 2021

The pandemic of coronavirus (COVID-19) creates fear and uncertainty causing extraordinary disruption to financial markets and global economy. Witnessing the fastest selloff in the American stock market in history with a plunge of more than 28% in S&P 500 has increased the volatility of global financial market to exceed the level observed during the financial crisis of 2008. On the other hand, Bitcoin value has shown considerable stability in the last couple of months peaking at $10,367.53 in the mid of February 2020. In this context, the aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of COVID-19 numbers on Bitcoin price taking into consideration number of controlling variables including WTI-oil price, S&P 500 index, financial market volatility, gold prices, and economic policy uncertainty of the US. To do so, ARDL estimation has been applied using daily data from December 31, 2019 till May 20, 2020. Key findings reveal that the daily reported cases of new infections have a marginal positive impact on Bitcoin price in the long term. However, the indirect impact associated with the fear of COVID-19 pandemic via financial market stress cannot be neglected. Bitcoin can also serve as a hedging tool against the economic policy uncertainty in the long term. In the short run, while the returns of economic policy uncertainty have no impact on Bitcoin price, the growth in the new cases of COVID-19 infection and returns of financial market volatility have more positive significant impact on Bitcoin returns.
