Congenital hydrocolpos and the hydrometrocolpos is a rare disorder caused by accumulation of cervico-vaginal secretions that present with cystic pelvic mass in neonates.Prenatal diagnosis is important to prevent complications like sepsis and renal failure and to affect prognosis. We will report a case of a newborn female admitted to our NICU with abdominal mass and imperforated anus diagnosed to have hydrometrocolpos, septated vagina with bicornate uterus and urogenital sinustreated surgically. Case Report: This report will help us to develop a high index of suspicion of hydrometocolpos in female newborn with abdominal mass.
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and (Triticum urgidum L.) are largely cultivated in the world. They are economically important because they can be grown in a wide range of climates and geographic regions. Wheat plants are exposed to a wide variety of disease pathogens i.e. fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens. The present work is an attempt to develop disease resistant wheat cultivars. In this respect, immature embryo derived calli of 2 wheat cultivars; Sids 1 (bread wheat) and Bani Suef 6 (durum wheat) were transformed by rice chitinase (cht 2), gus reporter gene and selectable marker (bar) genes using particle bombardment technique. Transient gus expression in calli and stable gus expression in transformed nodes were observed. Transgenic calli were selected on phosphinothricin containing regeneration medium and putative transformants were grown to maturity. Forty herbicide-resistant putative transformants were selected after leaf painting with 0.2% Liberty herbicide. Presence and integration of transgenes were assessed by subjecting transgenic plants to PCR analysis using specific primers for gus, bar and cht 2 genes. Transformation frequencies for cht 2 were 3.96% and 3.02% in Sids 1 and Bani Suef 6, respectively. The incorporation of rice chitinase gene in transformants was confirmed by Dot-blot analyses.
High Mo concentrations have been detected in drinking water pumped from domestic water supply wells located in the Wadi Al Arab area, at the Irbid city, northern Jordan. The main objective of this study is to investigate hydrogeochemical processes responsible for the release of Mo in the groundwater resources. Usually Mo is a metallic element that is naturally present in the earth’s crust. However, the presence of Mo in groundwater is an important potential pollution issue. To achieve the objectives of the study, 34 water samples were collected from the whole catchment area of Wadi Al Arab and were analyzed using ICP-MS for total Mo and the other major cations, anions and heavy metals. The results obtained from the hydrogeochemical investigation show that the groundwater in Wadi Al Arab catchment area is susceptible to Mo contamination due to the chemical reactions of water with clay-rich underlying bedrock that consists mainly of shale and marl rocks. The concentration values measured at the tested wells vary from 46.6 μg/L to 1438.7 μg/L, with an average value of 397.6 μg/L. Therefore, about 70% of the analyzed water samples show Mo levels that exceed the permissible limit of 70 μg/L for drinking water according to World Health Organization. The results of geochemical modeling using VISUAL MINTEQ software show that the most abundant species of Mo mineral is molybdate ion (MoO42-), with a concentration of 30 μg/L, which accounts for more than 50% of the Mo species dissolved in groundwater. The possible source of the Mo in the groundwater in Wadi Al Arab catchment area is due to presence of oil shale and phosphate layers within the geological succession of the aquifer. Through the geochemical model, the saturation indices of the common Mo minerals were calculated. The calculated saturation indices showed that groundwater is under-saturated with respect to Mo mineral speciation, which emphasizes that natural equilibrium will never be reached.
. The management of second– and third–degree internal hemorrhoid consists of non–surgical and surgical treatments. If non–surgical treatment does not succeed, then the recommended therapy is minimal invasive or surgery, depends on the clinical condition. Along with the development of science and technology, a technique known as rubber band ligation (RBL) and stapled hemorrhoidopexy emerges. In Indonesia, there is no data that can describe the distribution of postoperative complication rate. Method. A comparative cross–sectional study was conducted by gathering short term outcomes data from the subjects' medical records that underwent RBL or SH between 2011 to 2014 in three different hospitals in Jakarta. A univariate analysis was conducted to assess postoperative complications of RBL and SH subjects of second– and third–degree internal hemorrhoids. We use chi square test to assess the factors that influence the complications of categorical variables, and Fisher test if the chi square condition is not met. Results. Among 183 subjects, 49.2% underwent RBL and 50.8% SH. Second degree internal hemorrhoids were 40% and third degree were 60%. Postoperative complications consist of pain (RBL 4.4%, SH 8.8%), hemorrhage (RBL 2.3%, SH 4.9%), urinary retention (RBL 0, SH 2.7%), infection (RBL 0.5%, SH 1.6%) and stenosis (RBL 0, SH 0.5%). Postoperative complications on second degree internal hemorrhoidal was 8.2% and third degree 13.1% (p = 0.71). Complication of subject with third degree internal hemorrhoids after RBL 2.8%, SH 19.4% (p = 0.03). Conclusion. Complications of second– and third–degree internal hemorrhoids post RBL are no different with SH while for third degree internal hemorrhoid, complications after RBL ware significantly lower than SH.

Tafsir al-Azhar is one of the popular masterpieces of Indonesian exegete, Hamka. This paper discusses one of Hamka’s great exegetical works. The focus is on his discussion of economic affairs in particular, capitalism, usury and corruption, in the selected text in particular those related to. A qualitative method is adopted in this paper in which selected documents are analysed. This paper found that Hamka has unique approaches in this respect that are closely related to the socio-cultural aspects of Indonesia. Again, like other exegetes, Hamka applies al-ijtima’i in his work. This method seeks to understand the Qur’an by studying its expressions carefully and elaborating their meanings beautifully and interesting style of language in the context of existing cultural system. Keywords: Economic, Hamka, Society, Capitalism, Interest, Corruption INTRODUCTION Tafsir (exegesis) of the Qur’an is very important for Muslims. All matters concerning the Islamic way of life are connected to it as proper understanding of Islam guided by Allah is vital to live a Muslim way of life. Without tafsir, it would not be possible to have a right understanding of Qur’an (Von Denver, 1983). Man’s purpose is to worship Allah, i.e. to seek His pleasure by living the way of life Allah has prescribed. A Muslim can do so within the framework of the guidance that Allah has revealed concerning this, but he/she can do so only with a proper understanding of its meanings and implications (Kadir et al., 2014). The traditional Muslim view on the origins of tafsir place it with the Qur’an itself, Prophet Muhammad, and various Companions (Rippin, 1987). Other researchers, however, basing their conclusions on literary evidence, have debated the existence and nature of the earliest, namely first/ seventh century, tafsir (Mackay, 1991). But it is sufficient here, merely to establish that there exists substantial evidence to support the fact that written works of tafsir had emerged at the latest by the second/eighth century (Watt, 1970). The second/eighth and third/ninth centuries witnessed a proliferation of a variety of types and styles of exegetical works (Sattar, 1978), including those which were based only on the author’s own opinion (tafsir bi a1-ra’y) and those which cited earlier traditional authorities for their explanations of the Qur’an (tafsfir bi al-ma’thur) (Jullandri, 1968). It was the latter method which embraced and regulated earlier opinion and eventually came to define a true work of classical tafsir which saw its beginnings in the early fourth/tenth century with the compendium tafsir, Jami al-Bayan fi Tafsir al-Qur’an, of al-Tabari (d. 310/923), after which, few methodological innovations were introduced. Yet, just as the fourth/tenth century marked the beginning of classical Muslim exegesis, it also marked the end of tafsir formative period. As mentioned earlier, a number of different exegetical styles emerged during this period which John Wansbrough has divided into five logical and manageable types: narrative, legal, textual, rhetorical, and allegorical. But these divisions should be seen as general demarcations of exegetical works, rather than their authors, since the literary activities of the latter can often be found, not only within a number of tafsir styles, but in a variety of disciplines (Mackay, 1991). In the Archipelago, in the context of the Malay-Indonesian world, where Islam has been firmly established since the beginning of the 14th century (Riddell, 2014), early history has proven the Submit Date: 05.07. 2018, Acceptance Date: 27.08.2018, DOI NO: 10.7456/1080SSE/115 Research Article This article was checked by Turnitin Copyright © The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication TOJDAC ISSN: 2146-5193, September 2018 Special Edition, p.809-817 writing of the tafsir in Malaysia is not as incessant as its development in Indonesia. The study of Islam in the territories that now comprise Indonesia must in the first place be the urban settlements and portcity states which where the first centres for the establishment of Islamic learning and the further diffusion of the religion (Johns, 2005). The Malay community in the glorious era of Islamic studies has always been in a state of seeking religious sciences. At that time the Malay Islamic community only took the basis of religious knowledge, especially in relation to daily life and human affairs. Not surprisingly, the development of tafsir is somewhat later and dispersed from the aspect of its study in Malay Land if compared to other sciences such as jurisprudence, Theology, or Tasawuf. Such material, however, seems to have generally fallen out of favor in more ‘systematic’ works of tafsir produced in Malay-Indonesian world since the mid-seventeenth century. And from that time on we find the field being almost exclusively held by one work, the Tarjuman Mustafid by ‘Abd al-Rauf al-Singkili (1615-1693) (Feener, 1998). Followed by Tafsir Nur al-Ihsan by Muhammad Said bin Umar (1854-1932), Tafsir Harian al-Quran al-Karim by Haji Abdullah Abbas Nasution (1912-1987), Tafsir al-Quran al-Hakim by Mustafa Abdul Rahman (d. 1968), etc., including Tafsir al-Azhar by Haji Abdul Karim Amrullah, better known by the nickname Hamka (1908-1981), as one of the major reference source and well-known among the Malay community. Hamka is a prominent figure in the Malay World especially in Indonesia. He is not only known as a scholar and even a literary, historian and Islamic poet. The creation of Tafsir al-Azhar raises his name in the eyes of Muslims. What is amazing that throughout his lifetime he left a lot of work that have been recorded or not. His writings cover a wide range of subjects that affect the politics, history, economics, cultural, moral, and Islamic sciences fields. HAMKA: A GREAT INDONESIAN EXEGETE Hamka is an Indonesian religious scholar and the most prolific of modern Indonesian Islamic writers. He was born in the small village of Sungai Batang in the Minangkabau region of West Sumatra on February 17, 1908. His mother came from the adat aristocracy, and his father, Dr. Abdulkarim Amrullah, a member of long-established ‘ulama’ family, was a pioneer in the modernist reform movement. Although his father was the leading teacher of a traditional religious school, the Famous Sumatra Thawalib, Hamka was enrolled in the Diniyyah school, the first religious school to use the modern system of education, established by Zainuddin Lebay al-Junusyah (Osman & Muhedat, 2009). Hamka was not successful there and transferred in 1922 to Parabek (Bukit Tinggi), a school run by another modernist Syeikh Ibrahim Musa. Instead of studying the kitabs, he preferred Minangkabau traditional literature. It was only after he suffered a serious case of smallpox in 1923 that he began in earnest the career of a talented autodidact. Hamka was self-taught, a brilliant striver with a unique voice and range as a writer (Rush, 2016). In 1924, Hamka went to Java to visit his older sister, whose husband A.R Sutan Mansyur was the chairman of the local branch of The Muhammadiyah. The visit gave him a chance to attend public courses presented by important Muslim leaders. At the end of 1925 he entered the world of journalism by sending articles to the daily Hindia Baru, edited by Haji Agus Salim, an Islamic political leader. On his return to Padang Panjang, Hamka established the first Muhammadiyah journal, Chatibul Ummah. He soon travelled to Medan and to Mecca in 1927. The short but intense exposure to the Arab world not only immensely improved his linguistic ability, but also introduced him to the treasures of Arabic literature. On his return to padang Panjang, he began his career as a writer. His first book, a Minangkabau novel titled Si Sabariah (A Girl Named Sabariah) was published in 1925. He regularly sent articles to local journals and published booklets on Minangkabau adat and Islamic history. His activities in Muhammadiyah organization brought him to Makassar (1932-1934), where he published two journals, novels, and book on Islamic history. In 1936, he received an offer to become the editor in chief of a new Islamic journal in Medan, Pedoman Masyarakat. Under his editorship the journal became one of the successful in the history of Islamic journalism in Indonesia. The sojourn in Medan (1936-1945) was the most productive time of Hamka’s life, during this period he published most of his novels, notably Di bawah Lindungan Ka’bah (1936) and Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck (1937), as well as his noted Submit Date: 05.07. 2018, Acceptance Date: 27.08.2018, DOI NO: 10.7456/1080SSE/115 Research Article This article was checked by Turnitin Copyright © The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication The Turkish Online Journal of Design, Art and Communication TOJDAC ISSN: 2146-5193, September 2018 Special Edition, p.809-817 books on Islamic ethics and mysticism, including Tasauf Modern (1939), Lembaga Budi (1939) and Falsafah Hidup (1940). At the same time, Hamka was a leading figure in the revolutionary struggle for national independence in West Sumatra from 1945 to 1049. In 1950, he moved to Jakarta. Appointed as a high official of the Department of Religious Affairs, Hamka spent most his time to teaching, writing, editing and publishing the Journal Panji Masyarakat. In 1950 he published a widely acclaimed biography of his father, Ayahku, which also gives a historical account of Islamic movements in Sumatra. In addition to his four-volume memoir Kenang-kenangan Hidup and the first volume of the projected four-volume Sedjarah Umat Islam. In 1955, Hamka was elected a member of the Constituent Assembly, representing the Islamic Modernist political party, The Masjumi. His political career ended with the dissolution of the Assembly by President Sukarno. In 1960, he was elected as ‘great imam’ of al-Azhar Mosque. Falsely accused of involve
