4. Al-Nisa’/The Women

4. Al-Nisa’/The Women

I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah

The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.

04:01
O The People!
Be mindful of your Rabb - The Lord WHO created you from a single soul,
and out of it created its spouse, and then out of the two of them, WE scattered countless males and females throughout the world.
Be mindful of Allah through WHOM you ask of one another and be mindful of the bond of family relationships.
Indeed, Allah watches over you.

04:02
And return to the orphans their possessions, and
do not exchange your inferior things with their superior valuables, and
do not consume their possessions by co-mingling with your possessions and using them as yours.
Surely that would be an outrageous crime.

04:03
However, in case you fear that you might not be fair towards the orphan girls in your care, or misuse their persons, then,
you may marry the women from amongst the widows or their daughters, whom you see fit
for marriageable age, up to two, or three, or four of them.
But if you apprehend that in your marital obligations, you might not be able to deal with them justly at a time and all the time, then marry only one;
or, marry someone from amongst those whom your right hand possesses in qital/battle.
Thus it will help keep you away from committing injustice.

04:04
And give your wives in marriage their bridal money happily as a free gift.
However, if they willingly offer you a part of it, you may, then, accept it wholeheartedly
and with pleasure.

04:05
And do not entrust those...

Assessment of Blood Glucose and Calcium Concentrations Among healthy female volunteers Blood glucose & calcium in females

Abstract: Hypoglycemia and Hyperglycemia are associated with a number of complications including kidney damage, neurological damage, cardiovascular damage,  damage to the retina or damage to feet and legs,  lethargy, impaired mental functioning and irritability. The most abundant mineral in the body is calcium. Its abnormal levels also associated with multiple disorders. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the blood glucose and calcium levels in healthy female volunteersMethods: A cross sectional study was conducted at the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, over a period of 6 months, after obtaining the ethical approval from the The University of Lahore. A total number of 60 females were enrolled through consecutive sampling technique. Females of all age groups were included. All of the females had gone through routine history taking and lab investigations for the assessment of blood glucose an calcium concentrations. Results: In this study out 60 female participants, 33.3% were between ages of 15-30 years, 33.3% were between age of 31-50 years and remaining 33.3% were above 50 years old. All females of age group 15-30 years had normal glucose levels while single case of age group 15-30 years had abnormal calcium level. The results indicated that females of above age 50 years had low calcium and high glucose levels due to poor nutrition and less physical activity. Conclusions: The results of the current study showed that females with increasing age should intake food enriched in calcium and low glucose and adopt a physically active life style to manage normal blood glucose levels.

Surveillance and Management of Mosquito Species With Special Emphasis on the Dengue Vector S in Peshawar Valley

The present study was planned to investigate the population dynamics and habitats of economically important mosquito species with special emphasis on Aedes spp., the dengue vector in Peshawar Valley during 2011 - 2012. Data were collected from different habitat types in Peshawar, Nowshera, Mardan and Charsadda. Efficacy of different synthetic and natural insecticides as well as IGRs was tested in various concentrations against the mosquito species. In the irradiation experiments various doses of Cobalt 60 were tested to determine the optimum dose for causing male sterility in Aedes albopictus. The result revealed that population of Culex spp. was highest in Peshawar and lowest in Charsadda. The mean abundance of Aedes albopictus was highest in Mardan and lowest in Charsadda. Culex spp. populations peaked during September- October while Aedes spp. during October-November. Highest mean abundance (5300) of the specimen was found in sewage water and lowest in flower pots (11). At all the tested sites sewage water was found more favorable for breeding of Culex spp. while, irrigation channels, scrap, water tanks and pot vases for Aedes spp. The ovitrap index revealed higher population of Culex spp. in the indoor while that of Aedes spp. in the outdoor location. The indoor ovitrap index of Culex spp. was highest in Mardan (16.05%) and lowest in Peshawar (9.38%). The outdoor ovitrap index of Aedes spp. was highest in Nowshera (19.3%) and lowest in Charsadda (7.83%). The vector control In Vitro experiments showed significant differences in larval and adult mortalities as affected by the different synthetic insecticides, IGRs and plant extracts tested in various concentrations. Spatial variation in the mortality of both larvae and adults were observed in response to the insecticides. This variable response might be due to the intra-specie genetic variations from selection pressure of insecticides resulting into the development of resistance in the mosquitoes. The IGRs exhibited LC50 and LC90 in range of 0.002 to 0.016 ppm and 0.008 to 0.115 ppm, respectively. The IGRs yielded significant inhibition (79 to 99.5%) in adult emergence in the 3rd instars larvae of both Aedes and Culex spp. The IGRs were classified in terms of the tested parameters in order of Pyriproxyfen 1.0 WDG > Pyriproxyfen 0.5 WDG > Methoprene. In the field experiments, Pyriproxyfen 1.0 WDG @ 0.1g/m3 resulted in negligible adult emergence over a period of six months in water samples from different treated habitats. Crude plant extracts were tested for larvicidal activity against 3rd and 4th instars of Culex and Aedes spp. Parthenium showed lowest LC50 (0.849-1.543%), LC90 (1.875-2.882%) while Stevia extract the highest LC50 (2.086-2.889%), LC90 (5.836-8.533%) against the 3rd and 4th instar larvae of both the species after 24-48 hrs exposure periods. The larvicidal efficiency of plant extracts were ranked in order of Parthenium > Neem extract > Chrysanthemum > Neem oil > Stevia extract. The results of SIT experiments with Aedes albopictus revealed irradiation dose of 40-60 Gy as optimum for acceptable number of mating (7-8) of sterile males with wild female, negligible fecundity and subsequent hatching in no choice tests.
