61. Al-Saff/Firm Ranks
I/We begin by the Blessed Name of Allah
The Immensely Merciful to all, The Infinitely Compassionate to everyone.
61:01
a. Whatever is within the celestial realm and within the terrestrial world is Glorifying Allah
– The One and Only God,
b. for HE is The Almighty, The All-Wise.
61:02
a. O The Faithful!
b. Why do you say things that you do not do as well as you will not do?
61:03
a. It is severely hateful and most despicable with Allah that you say things and then do not do
them.
61:04
a. Surely, Allah loves those brave men who fight for HIS Cause,
b. ranged in firm ranks and full formations as if they were one well-compacted solid structure.
61:05
a. And remember when Moses said to his people:
b. ‘O My Community People!
c. Why do you hurt me by belying my Mission and my Message, while you know well that I am Allah’s Messenger’ assigned to you?
d. But when they deviated from the Path of Allah, Allah made their hearts deviate from HIS Path.
e. And Allah does not guide a people who have chosen to be misguided and are defiantly
disobedient.
61:06
a. And remember when Jesus, son of Mary, proclaimed:
b. ‘O Descendants of Jacob!
c. I am a Messenger of Allah assigned to you,
d. confirming the Message of the Torah, sent before me to Moses, and bringing good news of a Messenger to come after me, whose name will be Ahmed’ - most praised.
e. Yet when he – Ahmed/Muhammad – came to them with clear proofs of his Divine Mission,...
Psychological morbidity is emerging as animportant issue for medical students after entering clinical training due to extensiveworking hours. Students find themselves unable to balance competing demands on their time and cannot allocate appropriate time to family, spouses and even to themselves; this leads to complaints about exhaustion and lack of efficiency in their profession. Objective: To assess Psychological morbidity in interns, medical officers and residents Methods: a cross sectional study was conducted. A google form was designed with questions adopting from the three scales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). Question from all three categories of MBI-GS such as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment were considered. The form was distributed via email and Whatsapp to 87 house officers, medical officers and residents of six public healthcare facilities in Lahore. Responses were captured from 73 participants who completed the General Health questionnaire. Seven of these forms were filled by nurses, so in the present study only the response ofthose 66 participants who conformed to the study cross-section were considered. The results were analyzedusing SPSS version 22 for descriptive statistics and chi-square association. Results: A significant association was found between long working hours and emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment questions in particular. The findings suggests long working hours ruin the mental health of medical professionals, which ultimately produce psychological health impacts. Conclusions: It was concluded that these factors should be considered to reduce psychological morbidity in health professionals.
Chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin found in a wide range of natural sources. Chitosan as a natural polymer has been modified into a number of formulations based on its important characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, antibiotic activity and antitumor activity etc. Naturally available chitosan of high molecular weight has limited the efficiency of these polymers for antimicrobial activities. One of the techniques for improving chitosan antimicrobial efficiency is reducing its molecular weight. In this regard, irradiation is a widely used method for achieving reduction in molecular weight of polymers, which may improve some of its characteristics. In this study, chitosan was extracted from crab shells and irradiated by gamma radiations at different doses. Effect of radiation dose on chitosan structure was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, un-irradiated and irradiated chitosans were blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) and crosslinked with tetraethylorthosilicate to form membranes. The membranes were found to be transparent and crosslinked macroporous in structure, exhibiting high tensile strength (TS: 27- 47MPa) and elongation at break (EB: 292.6-407.3%). The response of membranes towards water absorption capacities at different temperatures, pHs and salt solutions were studied. Chitosan membranes were found to be temperature and pH responsive. So, chitosan membrane was used for controlled release of insulin as a model drug at intestine’s pH value (6.8). Un-irradiated and irradiated chitosan and their membranes were studied for their antibacterial properties against bacterial pathogens i.e., Pseudomonas aeruginosa (SS29), Escherichia coli (SS1, SS2, and SS9), Proteus mirabilis (SS77), Staphylococcus aureus (LM15) and Bacillus subtilis. Irradiated low molecular weight chitosan and its membranes showed higher antibacterial activities. Analysis of bacterial metabolites by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) exhibited the suppression of virulence factors by chitosan in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The production of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 by Aspergillus flavus was considerably reduced by irradiated chitosan (CHI50) as validated by LC-MS analysis. It was found that low molecular weight chitosan inhibited the production of aflatoxin and Aspergillus flavus which increased with increasing concentrations of chitosan.
