There is a trend of recruiting faith leaders at mosques to overcome religious barriers to organ donation, and to increase donor registration among Muslims. Commentators have suggested that Muslims are not given enough information about organ donation in religious sermons or lectures delivered at mosques. Corrective actions have been recommended, such as funding campaigns to promote organ donati...

OBJECTIVE There is little information regarding the isolation of antimicrobial-resistant potentially pathogenic bacteria from water and carpets of mosques worldwide. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the bacteriological quality of water and carpets of mosques in Elkhomes city in Libya. METHODS Potentially pathogenic bacteria were isolated from water samples (n=44) and...

In this survey article a brief account on the development of Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index in that applications of Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index in the fascinating field of nano-technology are discussed.

In a community-based malaria control project covering a predominantly Muslim population in the United Republic of Tanzania, difficulty was encountered in motivating people to have their mosquito nets reimpregnated with insecticide at six-monthly intervals. Education on this subject was therefore provided in mosques during Friday noon prayers. People who attended these services considered them a...

in early islamic era, architecture in khorasan was followed the common features of early islamic architecture style; such as simplicity in construction and ornament. in the later periods, especially in seljuq dynasty, the application of brick, stucco, tiling and inscription had been used more in architectural ornament. then, in the short period under the khwarizmshahid dynasty in khorasan, two-...

The main purpose of this paper is to characterize the continuous images of arcs by their images of the weight ≤ א1. More precisely, we will show that a compact space X is the continuous image of an arc if and only if every continuous image Y = f(X) with w(Y)≤ א1 is a continuous image of an arc.

most extensively analysed fungal sequences. As there are now barcode sequences covering all kingdoms of multicellular life, and taxonomists in museums are working hard to keep the molecular information connected to the traditional repositories and species definitions, barcodes offer the opportunity to expand species identification to situations where skilled taxonomists may not be at hand. “As ...

The electric quadrupole, hexadecapole moments, energy (kJmol -1) for some armchair polyhex carbon nanotubes TUVC6[2p,q] are performed by Beck-Lee-Yang-Parr [B3LYP] on 3-21G basis set using the standard procedure indices GAUSSIAN 98, then the Padmakar-Ivan (PI) index of TUVC6[2p,q] nanotubes in the terms of their circumference (2p) and lengh (q) is calculated and the relationships between the Pa...

BACKGROUND This paper describes the rationale, implementation and operation of a "world first" Islamic inspired methadone maintenance treatment project delivered in a mosque setting and presents the outcome for the first group of participants. The project explored the viability of expanding addiction recovery services through the network of mosques in Muslim communities. METHODS The project c...

In Comamonas testosteroni strain BR6020, metabolism of isovanillate (iVan; 3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate), vanillate (Van; 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate), and veratrate (Ver; 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate) proceeds via protocatechuate (Pca; 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate). A 13.4-kb locus coding for the catabolic enzymes that channel the three substrates to Pca was cloned. O demethylation is mediated by the phthala...
