Tahfizh Al-Qur'an for early childhood has received attention from Muslim families in Serang City, Banten Province. The research focus is on the tahfizh learning management model for early childhood. This study uses a qualitative analysis approach. Collecting data, through interviews, literature study, direct observation, and focus group discussions (FGD). The results showed that Muslim families in Serang City wanted to introduce the Qur'an to children from an early age before entering formal education at school. Families want their children to be pious and noble. Community leaders, academics, and politicians view the phenomenon of learning tahfizh Al-Qur'an as needing to get the support of the Serang City Government, through the issuance of regional regulations (perda) on tahfizh Al-Quran. Researchers found two novelties in this study. First, that the grouping of early childhood from 0 years to 3 years and from 3 years to 6 years was found to be better and more effective for the absorption of tahfizh Al-Qur'an. The grouping of these two age categories is very possible equipped with memorizing daily prayers as well as learning to recognize and write the letters of the Qur'an. Second, pregnant women are prioritized to memorize the Qur'an from the beginning of pregnancy until delivery. Then, after the birth, the mother introduced tahfizh Al-Qur'an to her child from the age of 0 years as an effort to generate auditory stimulation to make it easier to memorize the Qur'an. Learning Tahfizh Al-Qur'an from an early age is also a preparation for the formation of pious and noble children.

Yams (Dioscorea spp) are herbaceous vines which are cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers. And can be consumed either boiled or fried. Drying is a veritable technology for storage beyond immediate consumption. This study thus, investigated the drying rate and the best suitable model of yam slices of different thicknesses (1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.0mm) in thin layer using a laboratory convective oven dryer. A temperature range of 60-800C in multiples of 100C was selected and applied. Results were fitted to three thin-layer models of Page, Henderson and Lewis, and parameters (R2, RMSE, X2) to select the suitable estimating thin-layer model. R2 values ranged from 0.912090– 0.984462 (pre-treated) and 0.947496 – 0.982675 (untreated) for Lewis model; 0.996625– 0.998228 (pre-treated) and 0.994750– 0.998897 (untreated) for Henderson model; 0.940210 – 0.997329 (pre-treated) and 0.938921–0.995356 (untreated) for page model with rather low RMSE values ranging from0.031620-0.016657(pre-treated) and 0.030334-0.017589 (untreated) for Lewis model; 0.00773 - 0.005247 (pre-treated) and 0.009682-0.004439 (untreated) for Henderson model; 0.032675-0.006907 (pre-treated) and 0.033026-0.009107(untreated) for page model over the range of drying temperatures applied. The respective X2 values ranging from 0.0000204300–0.0011310990 (approximately = 0), therefore, from the statistical analysis the Henderson model showed a reliable prediction of the drying kinetics of the yam slices at the chosen temperatures. Drying rate along with characterizing drying constant also increased exponentially with temperature. From observation, pre-treated yam slices dried faster than untreated yam slices.

Aloe Vera, a cactus-like plant belongs to Asphodelaceae (Liliaceae) family has been used for traditional medical purposes for thousands of years. Aloe Vera derives its name from the Arabic word “Alloeh” which means “shining bitter substance” because of the bitter liquid found in the leaves and Vera which means “true” in Latin. There are over 300 species of aloe, most of which are native to South Africa, Madagascar and Arabia. Aloe leaves can be separated into two basic products: the latex, a bitter yellow liquid beneath the epidermis of the leaf and the gel, a colorless and tasteless substance in the inner part of the leaf. Both of them have many biologically active components, mainly anthraquinones and polysaccharides (the most active is acemannan), which may act alone or in synergy. Application of Aloe vera gel is cosmetic-moisturizers, toothpastes and flavoring compounds or preservative of fresh products and in medicine of humans or animals. Aloe vera gel is an active ingredient in hundreds of skin lotions, sun blocks and cosmetics. Aloe vera seems to treat of wounds, burns, insect stings, and skin inflammation, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antimicrobial, anti-tumor, anti- skin protection, anti-diabetic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and which are very important for wound healing. Aloe Vera gel helps in activating new hair growth as it increases blood circulation to the scalp. It also provides essential minerals and vitamins.

This article addresses the issue of English Language Teaching (ELT) especially blended learning whereby English is taught as a foreign language in Senegal, a francophone country. The validity of blended learning method is twofold. On the one hand, it is explainable by the advent of new technologies in the last decades of the twenty first century and the English language (EL) to satisfy a communicative need in all domains across the world. On the other hand, it is justified by the challenges of the traditional learning and teaching methods in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic that fully induce educational authorities to rethink the face-to-face traditional learning style. Thus the study is a succinct scrutiny, at the crossroads of “smart” and face-to-face learning, that questions the above-mentioned learning medium, i.e., blended learning, as a safe and comprehensive teaching and learning method in the twenty first century in Senegal.

This paper attempts to present the dissemination and transmission dynamics of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases and the underlying features of gain-of-function research and geopolitics in the ambient within and across borders. Research and publication are relevant from perspectives in the management of local and global health because disease is perspicuously a geopolitical issue ostensibly linked to gain-of-function research where health diplomacy undergirds present and future global functionalities regarding the emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases. These have generated vehement reactions with propensity for extreme geopolitics and gain-of-function natural and anthropogenic activities. Geopolitical parameters and gain-of-function issues impact on the social determinants of health and vice versa. The convening and convergence of countries for unprecented epidemic or pandemic treaty settings or other formulations to confront emerging and reemerging infectious diseases will afford considerable opportunities concerning challenges in action, preparedness and response. Provisions are pertinent for legal instruments, effective and efficient systems to curb future threats and outbreaks of infectious diseases.

Maxillary defects can occur due to certain bacterial, fungal and viral infections. But in recent time mucormycosis has become prevalent secondary to covid-19 infection. Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection, which primarily affects diabetic and immunocompromised patients. Surgical excision and debridement of the affected areas can result in significant defects. Reconstruction and rehabilitation of these defects remains a significant challenge for the clinicians because 3-D anatomy of the maxilla serves speech, swallowing and aesthetic roles. This review article discusses the reconstructive and rehabilitative methods of mucormycosis maxillary defects.

Introduction: Amniotomy is an artificial rupture of the egg's membranes using a membrane piercer through the cervical opening of the uterus. It is an invasive method of induction and stimulation of labour that may increase the risk of complications during labour and early postpartum. Objective: to evaluate the impact of amniotomy on maternal and fetal outcomes during labor, delivery, and early postpartum. Methods: This was a case-control study with retrospective data collection over a period of 6 months from March to August 2017 at the maternity ward of the Gynaecological-Obstetric and Paediatric Hospital in Yaoundé. Women who received amniotomy (exposed group) were compared to those who did not receive amniotomy (unexposed group). The data collected were entered and analyzed on Epi-info 3.5.1 and Statistical Package For Social Science SPSS 20.0 software. Comparison of variables was done using Chi-square (X2) and Fisher's exact test. The association between amniotomy and the different variables was measured using the relative risk (RR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). P < 5% was considered significant. Results: A total of 193 deliveries were recorded and divided into 110 cases of amniotomy and 83 spontaneous rupture of membranes. The frequency of amniotomy was 76.92% in our study. Maternal complications occurred in 38.2% of cases in the amniotomy group and in 32.5% of cases in the second group with a P value of 0.255 (not significant). Fetal and neonatal complications occurred in 13.6% of cases of amniotomy and 21.7% of spontaneous rupture of membranes during labour and 13 cases of amniotomy versus 11 cases of spontaneous rupture of membranes in the early post partum period. The difference was not statistically significant between the two groups for the occurrence of complications (P=0.410). Conclusion and recommendation: At the end of our study, it appears that amniotomy is very frequent in our environment, but its realization has no proven impact on the fate of the mother and the fetus.

Background: Blood transfusions, crucial for emergency obstetric care, can significantly reduce maternal mortality rates. Obstetric transfusions are often urgent and unpredictable. Common emergencies include hemorrhages from ectopic pregnancy, abortions, and placenta previa. Transfusion rates vary globally, with 0.2%-3.2% in high-resource countries and higher in low-resource areas. Despite their benefits, transfusions carry risks such as allergic reactions and infection transmission. Aim of the study: The study aims to ascertain the indications and risk factors associated with blood transfusions in obstetric and gynecological patients. Methods: This retrospective observational study at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh, analyzed indications and risk factors for blood transfusions in obstetrics and gynecology patients over one year. It included 115 women, with 110 obstetrics and 5 gynecology patients. Inclusion criteria covered women undergoing cesarean sections, vaginal deliveries, or other gynecological treatments and those with obstetric complications like postpartum hemorrhage. Exclusion criteria included women needing transfusions after seven days postpartum or with congenital bleeding disorders. Result: The majority of participants (66.96%) were aged 21-30, with 85.22% from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The mean BMI was 22.55±4.07. Most women (69.57%) were in the 31-40 weeks gestational age range. Multigravida and primigravida were 51.30% and 44.35%, respectively. Over half (57.6%) were not booked for antenatal care. Cesarean sections were the most common delivery method (60.87%). Vaginal delivery was the most frequent intervention (33.91%). Blood transfusion was mainly due to postpartum anemia (39.13%). Packed cell volume was the most transfused product (62.28%). Most (94.78%) had no transfusion reactions, with urticarial rash in 2.61% of cases. Conclusion: The study found that blood transfusions in obstetrics and gynecology are mainly due to severe anemia, postpartum hemorrhage, and complications like placenta previa and DIC. Most transfusions occurred in women aged 21-30, primarily multigravida and unbooked patients, indicating a need for better antenatal care. Packed cell volume was the most common blood product used.

Ticks are a significant impediment to the establishment of cattle production units in West Africa, notably in Côte d'Ivoire. A research was conducted at the Yamoussoukro Dairy Station from April to July 2020 to help in the battle against ticks and tick-borne diseases. A total of 1560 ticks were collected from cattle at the indicated station, subdivided into three genera (Boophilus, Amblyomma, and Hyalomma) and four species (R. (B) microplus, R. (B) annulatus, A. variegatum, and H. truncatum). R. (B) microplus was the most prevalent species (48.08 %). The most common species (63.40 %), the most infesting (3.87 ticks/cattle), and the most active (6.10 ticks/cattle) among the cattle at the station were R. (B) microplus. The most common, most numerous (1.63 and 1.62 ticks/cattle), and most active (3.18 ticks/cattle) species among the N'Dama and Zebu were R. (B) microplus (52.73 %) and A. variegatum (50.91 %). The species R. (B) microplus and R. (B) annulatus infest Metis animals significantly. These species have the highest incidence of infection and severity of an attack. In terms of parasite intensity, there was a positive association between R. (B) microplus and R. (B) annulatus.
