Islamic law has been stipulated by Allah is for human advantage, both in worldly life and in the hereafter. In order to prove that Islamic economics remains relevant whenever and wherever the objectives of maqashid shariah is needed to be implemented for creating innovative products. By doing so, shariah financial institutions are able to compete with the conventional, and at the same time they stay true to Islamic teaching principles. This article aims firstly to examine the concept of maqashid shariah on new product development of Islamic financial institution, and secondly to explore the suitability of shariah banking product with the principles of maqashid shariah. In nature, the purpose of the implementation of Shariah transactional system is for seeking human benefit both in this life and hereafter. Hence, the concept of maqashid shariah should be able to be integrated into Shari’ah banking so that its products can be hopefully broader. In short, through maqashid shariah, it creates innovative products of shariah financial institutions.

Authors: Nasr Enas E. , Teleb Samir S. , Abou-Saty Amira I. 
Published: April 2021

Aims: To identify the chemical components of five wild Botanical oils (BOs) and their larvicidal influences on the anti-nutritional indices of the 4th instar larvae of Agrotis ipsilon.
Study Design: A comparative study with the randomized design, using five plant Extracts replicated five times.
Place and Duration of Study: Mentha longifolia, Artemisia judaica, Majorana hortensis, Origanum syriacum, and Achillea santolina were collected from the Sinai desert, Egypt. Study procedures were done at the Laboratory of Botany and Zoology, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Egypt, between December 2018 and June 2020.
Methodology: An analysis of the tested BOs components was done using a Shimadzu GC-9A gas chromatograph. Five sub-lethal concentrations of each plant were prepared (5 replicate/treatment) to evaluate medium lethality against A. ipsilon larvae (20 larvae/replicate). Untreated larvae were used distilled water only as a control. Ten larvae of each treatment were treated with only one LC50 to estimate the effect of different tested BOs on anti-nutritional Activities.
Results: The main component of the M. longifolia and A. judaica oil was Piperitone at 39.79 and 37.55%, respectively; whereas the M. hortensis, O. syriacum, and A. santolina oil was Terpinen-4-ol, Thymol, and Fragranyl acetate at 29.82, 31.21, and 25.67%, respectively. According to LC50 of the tested BOs, the toxicity of A. judaica, M. longifolia, O. syriacum, respectively, were the most effective oils, while M. hortensis and A. santolina oils were the least susceptibilities. The more toxic oils reduced food consumption, causing a significant decrease in relative consumption rate (RCR), growth rate (RGR), and efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI)/digested (ECD). The previous oils also showed a significant increase in metabolic cost (MC) and anti-feeding activities against A. ipsilon larvae compared to M. hortensis and A. santolina.
Conclusion: It is suggested that A. judaica and M. longifolia extracts contain high Piperitone content and could be accepted as toxicants to control A. ipsilon.

Published: April 2021

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the control of Eleusine indica Gaertn. and Digitaria insularis (L.) Fedde through the combination of soil cover with green manure straw and herbicides applied in pre-emergence.
Study Design: Each weed species was evaluated in different experiments. The experiments were set up in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design and arranged in a factorial scheme (5×4)+2, with four replications.
Place and Duration of Study: Center of Agricultural Sciences, São Paulo, Brazil, from May 2019 to May 2020.
Methodology: Seeds of Digitaria insularis and Eulesine indica were sown at a depth of 1 cm from the soil surface. Then, the pots were watered, and the straw of Cajanus cajan, Sorghum bicolor, Crotalaria juncea, Crotalaria spectabilis, and Crotalaria breviflora was deposited on the surface. The pre-emergence herbicides trifluralin (900 g ai ha−1), pendimethalin (1200 g ai ha−1), clomazone (1000 g ai ha−1), and s-metolachlor (1920 g ai ha−1) were applied one day after the weed seeds were sown. The percentage of weed control was evaluated at 10, 20, and 30 days after emergence (DAE). The plant shoot was cut at 30 DAE and the weight of dry biomass was determined. The control without herbicide and with soil cover crop and no herbicide and no soil cover were also evaluated.
Results: Sorghum bicolor, Cajanus cajan, and Crotalaria breviflora were the most effective in controlling Eleusine indica when no herbicide was applied. Only Sorghum bicolor showed a satisfactory control of Digitaria insularis without the use of chemical management (above 80%). The association of pre-emergence herbicides with soil cover showed high control of weeds.
Conclusion: The results showed that the association between chemical and cultural methods is an effective alternative to control Eulesine indica and Digitaria insularis.

Conclusion: Self PNF stretching was found to be effective in patients with severe pain referring to arms along with the tightness, when traditional mode of treatment cannot be performed due to presence of extremely painful condition.
Effects of sea‐level rise and storm‐enhanced flooding on Pacific harbour seal habitat: A comparison of haul‐out changes at the Russian and Eel river estuaries

Published: April 2021

Abstract

Patterns and changes in the distribution of coastal marine mammals can serve as indicators of environmental change that fill critical information gaps in coastal and marine environments. Coastal habitats are particularly vulnerable to the effects of near‐term sea‐level rise.
In California, Pacific harbour seals (Phoca vitulina richardii) are a natural indicator species of coastal change because of their reliance on terrestrial habitats, abundance, distribution, and site fidelity. Pacific harbour seals are marine top predators that are easily observed while hauled out at terrestrial sites, which are essential for resting, pupping, and moulting.
Although increasing inundation from recent sea‐level rise and storm‐driven flooding has changed the Californian coastline, little is known about the effect of future sea‐level rise and increased storm frequency and strength on harbour seal haulout site availability and quality in California.
Harbour seal habitat was modelled at two sandbar‐built estuaries under a series of likely sea‐level rise and storm scenarios. The model outputs suggest that, over time, habitat at both estuaries decreased with increasing sea level, and storm‐enhanced water levels contributed significantly to habitat flooding. These changes reflect pressures on coastal habitats that have an impact on human and natural systems.

Published: April 2021

AbstractBackground and objectivesDate (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seeds are rich in dietary fibers, lipids, minerals, and their application mainly incorporated to achieve green economy. The present study aimed to contribute agro‐waste reduction, enhance nutritional value, and extend shelf life in parallel with consumer acceptance by producing functional cookies and chocolate sauce fortified with ground Ajwa seeds (GAS) with 5, 10, and 15% levels substituting wheat flour or cocoa powder, respectively.FindingsGAS fortification significantly increased fiber content of cookies to cover 15% of required daily values (DV%) in GAS15. On the other hand, it lowered moisture content by 57% comparing to control GAS0, which extended fortified cookies shelf life. Cookie dough Farinograph and Extensograph properties were negatively affected by the fortification of ground Ajwa seeds, and chocolate sauce showed decreased viscosity from 470 (control) to 116 cP (GASC15). Sensory evaluation indicated that panelists accepted the functional cookies and chocolate sauce.ConclusionGAS can partially substitute wheat flour in cookies or cocoa powder in chocolate sauce to improve the nutritional quality with no significant effects on the sensorial acceptability.Significance and NoveltyReduction of agro‐waste by utilizing Ground Ajwa seeds (GAS) enhanced nutritional value by increasing fiber content, extended shelf life, and gained panelists acceptance which paves the way for other fortification in food applications.

Published: April 2021

AbstractBackgroundmiR‐33 family members are well characterized regulators of cellular lipid levels in mammals. Previous studies have shown that overexpression of miR‐33 in Drosophila melanogaster leads to elevated triacylglycerol (TAG) levels in certain contexts. Although loss of miR‐33 in flies causes subtle defects in larval and adult ovaries, the effects of miR‐33 deficiency on lipid metabolism and other phenotypes impacted by metabolic state have not yet been characterized.ResultsWe found that loss of miR‐33 predisposes flies to elevated TAG levels, and we identified genes involved in TAG synthesis as direct targets of miR‐33, including atpcl, midway, and Akt1. miR‐33 mutants survived longer upon starvation but showed greater sensitivity to an oxidative stressor. We also found evidence that miR‐33 is a negative regulator of cuticle pigmentation and that miR‐33 mutants show a reduction in interfollicular stalk cells during oogenesis.ConclusionOur data suggest that miR‐33 is a conserved regulator of lipid homeostasis, and its targets are involved in both degradation and synthesis of fatty acids and TAG. The constellation of phenotypes involving tissues that are highly sensitive to metabolic state suggests that miR‐33 serves to prevent extreme fluctuations in metabolically sensitive tissues.
Molecular crosstalk in tracheal development and its recurrence in adult tissue regeneration
Authors: Kiyokawa Hirofumi , Morimoto Mitsuru 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThe trachea is a rigid air duct with some mobility, which comprises the upper region of the respiratory tract and delivers inhaled air to alveoli for gas exchange. During development, the tracheal primordium is first established at the ventral anterior foregut by interactions between the epithelium and mesenchyme through various signaling pathways, such as Wnt, Bmp, retinoic acid, Shh, and Fgf, and then segregates from digestive organs. Abnormalities in this crosstalk result in lethal congenital diseases, such as tracheal agenesis. Interestingly, these molecular mechanisms also play roles in tissue regeneration in adulthood, although it remains less understood compared with their roles in embryonic development. In this review, we discuss cellular and molecular mechanisms of trachea development that regulate the morphogenesis of this simple tubular structure and identities of individual differentiated cells. We also discuss how the facultative regeneration capacity of the epithelium is established during development and maintained in adulthood.
The Rise of Black Feminist Intellectual Thought and Political Activism in Perinatal Quality Improvement: A Righteous Rage about Racism, Resistance, Resilience, and Rigor
Authors: Scott Karen A. 
Published: April 2021

AbstractIn this description of her work in perinatal quality improvement, obstetrician and crunk public health scholar Dr. Karen A. Scott describes the ways in which perinatal quality improvement has typically prioritized the deaths or near deaths of Black women at the exclusion of the lived experiences of Black women and people as patient, community, and content experts. Drawn into the work to apply a Black women‐centered and liberatory analytic, Dr. Scott turned to Black feminist anthropology to transform perinatal quality improvement ethics and theories of change. The work of Leith Mullings, particularly her excursus on the Sojourner Syndrome, was at the center of Dr. Scott's approach to abating Black perinatal death and redesigning perinatal quality improvement.
Novel MEAF6‐SUZ12 fusion in ossifying fibromyxoid tumor with unusual features

Published: April 2021

AbstractOssifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of uncertain differentiation that has the capacity for local recurrence and metastasis. Many OFMTs, including typical, atypical, and malignant tumors, have demonstrated recurrent gene fusions. The fusion partners reported to date share a common core function in that they play either a direct or indirect role in processes influencing histone modification. Herein, we report an OFMT with unusual morphology and non‐specific immunoprofile harboring a novel MEAF6‐SUZ12 fusion. A 34‐year‐old male presented with a slowly growing mass in the right antecubital fossa. Excision demonstrated a 6.9 cm partially encapsulated, tan‐white, lobulated, and calcified lesion. Microscopic evaluation demonstrated cytologically bland spindle to ovoid cells arranged in a haphazard manner within a fibromyxoid background containing dense collagen, often with sclerotic nodules, and randomly distributed ossification. The tumor cells were diffusely positive for CD34 while essentially negative for S100, desmin, MUC4, SOX10, AE1/3, SMA, and EMA. Next‐generation sequencing studies (sarcoma gene fusion next‐generation sequencing panel with subsequent Sanger confirmation) performed on formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissue detected a fusion product between MEAF6 exon 4 (NM_001270875) and SUZ12 exon 2 (NM_001321207.1). The proposed mechanism of pathogenesis in OFMT, namely epigenetic dysregulation, is reinforced by the fact that both of these partner genes are involved in histone modification.
