Authors: Arrasyid Aro Qodam , Kadenun Kadenun 
Published: July 2020

Qibla direction is the direction that Muslims go to in carrying out worship, especially prayer. The determination of the Qibla direction in the Fatma Zahra, Al-Falah, and Baitul Muttaqin Mosques used to still use simple tools. Whereas in this day and age, all modern equipment already exists. From the differences of time, the writer is interested in studying the calculation of Qibla direction by using theodolite, by determining the direction of Qibla before using theodolite and after using theodolite. This research uses quantitative methods by collecting observational study data, interviews, and documentation to related parties. The primary source is data from interviews and direct research in the field. While the secondary data is taken from books, journals and theses related to this research. From the results of this study that the Mosques studied have not yet led to a perfect Qibla. The qibla direction in each Mosque is as follows: Qibla direction in Fatma Zahra Mosque is 650 35 '5.64'', in Al-Falah Mosque is 650 34' 21.17 '', and in Baitul Muttaqin Mosque is 650 35 '2.5''. from the direction of the Qibla which was originally the Fatma Zahra Mosque 610 05'11.28 '', Al-Falah Mosque 67009 '43.34'', and the Baitul Muttaqin Mosque 70057 '35.00'.
Arah kiblat merupakan arah yang dituju umat Islam dalam melaksanakan ibadah khususnya shalat. Penentuan arah kiblat di masjid Fatma Zahra, Al-Falah, dan Baitul Muttaqin dulunya masih menggunakan alat yang sederhana. Sedangkan pada zaman sekarang ini, sudah zamannya modern semua peralatan canggih sudah ada. Dari perbedaan zaman tersebut penulis tertarik untuk mengkaji perhitungan arah kiblat dengan menggunakan alat theodolit, dengan menentukan arah kiblat sebelum menggunakan alat theodolit dan setelah menggunakan alat theodolit. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan mengumpulkan data bersifat Studi Observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi kepada pihak-pihak terkait. Sebagai sumber primernya yaitu data dari hasil wawancara dan penelitian langsung di lapangan. Sedangkan data sekundernya diambil dari buku, jurnal, dan tesis yang berkaitan dengan penelitian ini. Dari hasil penelitian ini bahwa masjid-masjid yang diteliti belum mengarah ke kiblat secara sempurna. Adapun arah kiblat di masing-masing masjid adalah sebagai berikut: Arah kiblat di masjid Fatma Zahra ialah 650 35’ 5.64’’,di masjid Al-Falah ialah 650 34’ 21.17’’, dan di masjid Baitul Muttaqin ialah 650 35’ 2.5’’. dari arah kiblat yang semula masjid Fatma Zahra 610 05’11.28’’, masjid Al-Falah 67009’ 43.34’’, dan masjid Baitul Muttaqin 70057’35.00’’.

An electrical resistivity survey was carried out to detect the level of groundwater pollution on Oru and Ikoto dumpsites respectively as it was observed that the dumpsites were sited ignoring the environmental and health hazard. The survey was conducted using ABEM model terrameter with schlumberger array for 1-D vertical electrical sounding (VES) of electrode spacing ranging from 0.25m to 4m. Four VES was conducted on each dumpsite with length between 1m to 120m. The data obtained from the field were interpreted using WINRESIST from which the curve types of each study area were identified. On Oru dumpsite, measurement of VES1 was taken on the dumpsite, VES2 was taken 20m away from the dumpsite, VES3 and VES4 were taken across the road serving as control. Here, there is indication of leachate pollution in VES1 (layer 2) and VES2 (layer 3) while VES3 and VES4 are leachate free, but this leachate present in VES1 and VES2 cannot penetrate into the groundwater table because of the stratigraphy of the area. At Ikoto dumpsite, measurement of VES4 was taken on the dumpsite, VES1 and VES2 were taken 30m away from the dumpsite on both sides, and while VES3 was taken across the Lagos/Ibadan expressway, serving as control. There is indication of leachate pollution in VES4 (layer2) while in VES1, VES2 and VES3 there is no presence of leachate flow. The leachate present in VES4 can infiltrate into the groundwater table through the highly porous and permeable material in the subsurface layer of the location.

Cyanide is produced throughout a plant's life cycle, its production increases during certain developmental stages such as seed germination, seedling elongation, fruit ripening and senescence. Beta-cyanoalanine synthase is the most important cyanide metabolizing enzyme found in plants. This work is aimed at studying the tissue distribution, partial purification and some physicochemical properties of β-cyanoalanine synthase from bean seeds (Phaseolus vulgaris). β-cyanolalanine synthase was isolated and partially purified using a combination of ammonium sulphate precipitation, desalting on Sephadex G-10 and gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-200 column. The biochemical characteristics of the enzyme were investigated. Results obtained from this work showed that β-cyanolalanine synthase is more concentrated in the seeds (20.53 nmol/HS/mg) when compared 2 to the cotyledons (10.08 nmol/HS/mg) and the seed coats (5.82 nmol/HS/mg). The partially purified 2 2 enzyme showed a specific activity of 26.77 nmol/HS/mg and an apparent molecular weight of about 2 60,000Da, K values for cyanide and L-cysteine of 0.741 mM and 1.724 mM respectively. The V max m value obtained for cyanide was 25.00 nmol/H S/ml/minwhile that of L-cysteine was 2 o666.67nmol/H S/ml/min. The enzyme showed an optimum temperature of 40C and optimum pH of 2 10.0.Studies on the effect of chloride salt indicated that NaCl and MnCl had strong inhibitory effect 2 on the enzyme; NHCl had slight negative effect while KCl and ZnCl activated the enzyme dose 4 2 dependently.This study showed the presence of β-cyanoalanine synthase in bean seeds which is believed to function in the detoxification of cyanide produced in its tissues especially during germination.

Published: July 2020

Background: Elevation in serum bilirubin was reported recently, but the importance of the raised total bilirubin has not been stressed in acute appendicitis and appendicular perforation. The aim of the study was to establish the role of hyperbilirubinemia as a new diagnostic tool to predict gangrenous/perforated appendicitis. Subjects and Methods: This was a prospective observational study, which was conducted at the Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Science, Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat, India. A total of 100 patients clinically diagnosed as appendicitis from August 2018 to August 2019 at Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Science, Bhuj, Kutch, Gujarat, India. Patients were clinically evaluated by detailed history, routine examination on initial contact with patients and the routine investigations as per surgery and anesthesia requirements with inclusion of serum total bilirubin. Based on histopathological examination patients will be categorized as positive (acute appendicitis with perforation and/or gangrene) and negative (acute appendicitis without perforation or gangrene). Results: Out of 100 patients, 20 were managed conservatively (mass formation) and was called for interval appendectomy after 6 weeks. In acute catarrhal appendicitis group 47 patients showed normal total bilirubin levels, whereas 8 patients showed increase in levels of total bilirubin. In gangrenous appendicitis group all 10 patients showed elevated serum total bilirubin levels In perforated appendicitis group consisted of 15, 11 patients showed elevated serum bilirubin levels and 4 patients showed normal total bilirubin levels. Conclusion: Serum bilirubin is easily available test and cheap and can be estimated from the sample of blood drawn for routine blood investigations.

Background: Fissure-in-ano is a very common problem across the world which causes considerable morbidity and affects the patient’s quality of life to a greater extent. Anal fissure is a common painful condition affecting the anal canal. The main aim of study was to compare the efficacy of outcome of subcutaneous fissurectomy versus lateral internal sphincterotomy in chronic fissure in Ano. Subjects and Methods: The study was a prospective, parallel group, comparative trial. The study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Chalmeda AnandRao Institute of Medical Sciences, Karimnagar. The number of patients included in the study was 50. Patients were divided into lateral internal sphincterotomy groups and subcutaneous fissurectomy groups. Patients were followed up regularly for relief of symptoms i.e., pain in the anal region and bleeding from anal region and for complications like incontinence; duration of sitz baths and number of work days lost. Results: The mean age group in the present study was 38.24 9.96 for subcutaneous fissurectomy and 39.2 10.4 for lateral internal sphincterotomy; there was no significant difference in the mean age in either of the groups with P value > 0.05. Conclusion: The current study shows results in favor of subcutaneous fissurectomy with a healing rate of 100% with faster pain-relief and minimal or no complications if performed by the hands of an experienced surgeon.

Published: July 2020

Background: Perforations of peptic ulcer are third in frequencies, acute appendicitis and acute intestinal obstruction being more common. Prompt recognition of the condition is very important and only by early diagnosis and treatment it is possible to reduce the still relatively high mortality. The aim of this study was to review and study the factors influencing, the outcome of the duodenal perforations. Subjects and Methods: A clinical study was conducted in 50 cases of diagnosed duodenal ulcer perforation that was established by the admitting surgeon, based on clinical features and supposed by radiological evidence and confined at operation. This study comprises of 50 cases of duodenal ulcer perforation admitted in period from January 2017 to January 2020. Results: In present study, out of total 50 patients with duodenal ulcer 46(92%) males and 5(8%) females, with male predominance. Highest incidence was found between 41-50 years followed by 21-29 years. Most of the patients admitted by 12-24 hours, common site of ulcer is prepyloric in presentation. Duodenal ulcer perforations were single perforation, while two cases of ileal perforations were multiple. Smoking is main predisposing cause of ulcer. ARDS were 14% (7 patients) and it was observed that 32 percent (16 patients) having wound complication, 2 percent (‘1 patient) having mortality and 46% (23 patients) have no complications. In this present study, 60% of patients had h/o Peptic ulcer. On X- ray, 90% of patients had finding of air under diaphragm. Conclusion: The mortality in perforated duodenal ulcer has been reduced owing to early approach to hospital, diagnosis, prompt surgical treatment and appropriate and adequate antibiotics. Smoking and alcohol consumption and life style modification may reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with duodenal perforation.

Published: July 2020

Background: Necrotizing fasciitis is an infection occurring in the deep fascial layers. It is a progressive infection. The diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis is usually clinical and is important to find it early as it is a fast spreading infection. Necrotizing fasciitis occurs as a result of necrosis of skin and subcutaneous layer. The aim of the study is to assess factors which will help in clinching the diagnosis of Necrotizing Fasciitis and to identify factors responsible for morbidity and mortality. The study was hospital based observational study conducted for 2 years from May 2017- June 2019 on 30 patients with necrotizing fasciitis at Department of general surgery, Osmania General Hospital. Subjects and Methods: Clinical and anatomical findings rendered initial diagnosis. The patient’s details have been noted. Detailed patient interview on history and other comorbid conditions was conducted. Bacteriological culture is done. Following initial debridement, the wound was inspected regularly and subsequent debridement was done periodically whenever necessary. Results: Majority of the patients were males, 80% and the rest 20% were females. In 56.66% of the patients the site of NF was perineum and in the rest 43.33% of the patients it was in the extremities. The type of bacterial culture done was polyculture in majority 90% of the patients and monoculture was done in the rest 10% of the patients. 30% of the patients tested positive for NF and rest 70% were found to be negative with NF. The mortality rate was 30% and morbidity rate was 10%. Conclusion: Effective and vigorous surgical debridement, often in multiple sessions, supplemented by adequate antibiotics and supportive treatment, is the key to a successful result with necrotizing fasciitis.

The Golden Age of Pantomime
Authors: Richards Jeffrey 
Published: July 2020

Of all the theatrical genres most prized by the Victorians, pantomime is the only one to have survived continuously into the twenty-first century. It remains as true today as it was in the 1830s, that a visit to the pantomime constitutes the first theatrical experience of most children and now, as then, a successful pantomime season is the key to the financial health of most theatres. Everyone went to the pantomime, from Queen Victoria and the royal family to the humblest of her subjects. It appealed equally to West End and East End, to London and the provinces, to both sexes and all ages. Many Victorian luminaries were devotees of the pantomime, notably among them John Ruskin, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll and W.E. Gladstone. In this vivid and evocative account of the Victorian pantomime, Jeffrey Richards examines the potent combination of slapstick, spectacle and subversion that ensured the enduring popularity of the form. The secret of its success, he argues, was its continual evolution.
It acted as an accurate cultural barometer of its times, directly reflecting current attitudes, beliefs and preoccupations, and it kept up a flow of instantly recognisable topical allusions to political rows, fashion fads, technological triumphs, wars and revolutions, and society scandals. Richards assesses throughout the contribution of writers, producers, designers and stars to the success of the pantomime in its golden age. This book is a treat as rich and appetizing as turkey, mince pies and plum pudding.
The I.B.Tauris History of Monasticism
Authors: Evans G.R. 
Published: July 2020

From the earliest centuries of the church, asceticism and the contemplative life have been profoundly important aspects of western Christianity. And in assessing the glories of western civilization, perhaps the best place to start is within medieval monastic institutions, not outside of them. For while monasteries withdrew from the main currents of their societies, until the rise of universities in the 12th century they provided fertile soil and sanctuary to the liberal arts and sciences as well as those who wanted to spend their lives focused upon God. They became the driving cultural forces of Europe, nurturing education, music, manuscript illumination, art and history, agriculture, animal husbandry - all in addition to spiritual guidance. In this first general history of monasticism since 1900, Andrea Dickens explores the cloistered communities and individuals who have aspired to the ascetic ideal in their religious life, assessing the impact they have made on the wider church and its practices.
She discusses some of the best known names in Christian history - including Cuthbert, Columba, Hilda of Whitby, Peter Abelard and Thomas Merton - and traces the monastic impulse from its beginnings in the Egyptian desert through the Rule of St Benedict, Cluny’s foundation in 910, the austerity of the Cistercians, the legacy of women’s houses, the critique of Luther and Calvin, Trappists and Catholic reform, up to the present-day ecumencial Taize community. Offering a lively and informed overview of western monasticism, the book will be essential reading for students of history and religion as well as the lay reader.
Assemblage Theory and Method
Authors: Buchanan Ian 
Published: July 2020

What do we mean when we talk of an 'assemblage' in contemporary theory? Any and every thing, or more precisely, any and every kind of collection of things, could now be called an assemblage. The constant and seemingly limitless expansion of the term’s range of applications begs the question, if any and every kind of collection of things is an assemblage, then what advantage is there is in using this term and not some other term, or indeed no term at all? What makes an assemblage an assemblage, and not some other kind of collection of things? This book advances beyond this impasse and offers practical help in thinking about and using assemblage theory for contemporary cultural and social research, in order to:
- Answer the question: what is assemblage theory?
- Explain why assemblage theory is necessary
- Provide clear instructions on how to use assemblage theory
The first book of it's kind, Ian Buchanan's guide maps the beginnings of a brand new field within the humanities.
