The world is observing a very strange time fighting an invisible enemy; the novel Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It is a declared global pandemic now. Initially it was observed in the Wuhan province of China, now fastly spreading around the world. The disease has spread globally with more than 8 million confirmed cases and 439,487 deaths as of June 17th, 2020. Human Coronavirus (HCoV) infection causes respiratory diseases with mild to severe outcomes. In the last 15 years, we have witnessed the emergence of two zoonotic, highly pathogenic HCoVs: Severe Acute Rspiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhoea and in case of serious illness develop difficulty in breathing. Research is underway to develop effective vaccines and medicines for the disease. But up to now no any effective management had not been declared. In such conditions, we present the measures described in Unani system of medicine for health protection during epidemics. Unani medicine is a traditional system of medicine developed during the middle ages, which employs natural drugs of herbal, animal and mineral origin for treatment. Traditional systems of medicine are being explored for providing preventive, supportive and rehabilitative care to patients in epidemic/pandemic but no direct evidence is available, some uncontrolled studies on traditional medicines suggest that they may have a direct efficacy on the virus. Unani Physicians emphasized in their classical Unani books under the chapter of influenza about pandemic (Nazla Wabai/ Nazla Haar) and epidemic diseases. The objective of this paper is to discuss in detail the Unani concept, management, treatment of epidemics in general and possible management of current Pandemics of COVID-19, its analysis in the light of ancient books in present scenario.

Understanding the Non-Muslims in Medieval India: Amir Khusrau and Identities of Composite Culture
Imon-ul-Hossain

10.36348/sjhss.2021.v06i01.002
The history of Medieval India had long been interpreted on two grounds basically- the age of destruction of Indian civilization by the central Asian invaders and the growth of composite culture. But the above terms reflect contradictory sense because if the advent of foreigners fully eliminated India’s glorious past then how could there be an amelioration of cultural assimilation during our period of study. In this regard, communalist modern scholars of this period can be held responsible who sought to disseminate unscientific viewpoints on both Hindu and Muslim superiority or at best with a so-called notion of “community crisis”. In fact, it is not even so hard to identify the biasness of Marxist scholars who set up dominance in medieval Indian history writing by excluding many impartial treatments. However, as a chief offshoot of this composite tradition the mystic literary practice had thrived out of Bhakti and Sufi movement which imparted the idea of love and devotion for God, simultaneously emphasized the harmonious social relationship through the spiritual dissemination of human relationship with extra-mundane world. This paper will attempt to describe the understanding of non-Muslims through the literary aspects of Delhi Sultanate period, by which the composite cultural scenario can be discernible in the making of Indian heritage. As a part of my discussion, therefore, I have decided to provide a critical analysis about the most prominent mystic author of this age- Amir Khusrau.

This article attempts to deal with nature as a recurrent theme in William Wordsworth’s poetry. He is one of the greatest romantic English poets. He views nature as a living entity that is a source of pleasure and education for him. He has given us sufficient heart-touching and beautiful poems that are the enduring treasures of romanticism, but only a few popular poems that reveal the growth and development of his love for nature, his concept of nature mysticism, joy in nature, universal love in nature, spiritual unity of nature, bond between nature and man, soothing influence and healing power of nature and nature’s teaching potentiality have been taken from the corpus of his vast works under consideration for the study. Most of his poems can be well understood and analyzed through a vigilant consideration regarding his treatment of nature.

At present, domestic vocabulary teaching, including academic English vocabulary teaching, mostly adopts traditional teaching methods. The current situation is that students with limited academic vocabulary have low academic competence. It is English teachers who have the duty and responsibility to help students expand their academic English vocabulary. Guided by the Production-oriented approach (POA), this article manages to construct the teaching design of academic English vocabulary teaching and explores effective ways to enhance students’ academic English proficiency. This article finds that under the guidance of POA theory, academic English vocabulary teaching can more effectively stimulate students’ internal motivation, promote the completion of production tasks, enhance students’ sense of acquisition, and more accord with China’s foreign language teaching practice.

Carbohydrates are present in the form of starch and sugars in our food. The three major antioxidant vitamins are beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E. Beta carotene, like all carotenoids, is an antioxidant also a scavenger of singlet oxygen. The main cause of vitamin C loss from food is leaching, which transfers vitamin C to the cooking water, which is decanted and not consumed. Vitamin E is found naturally in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. The blood of the animals also contains the various clotting factors that significantly involved in the processes or events related the blood cancer or diseases. The major type of the protein in the system of vertebrate in the blood is the fibrinogen. The blood of the human also contains the various clotting factors that significantly involved in the processes or events related the blood cancer or diseases. The thrombolytic activity of the food extracts remains unclear and not completely studied yet. Different factors are involved in clotting of the blood. Different compounds in foods promoted the clotting of the blood by activating the calcium. This review helpful for the investigation of the novel compounds in many plants that are used to treat the large number of diseases as well as to understand the nature of compounds that reduce the production of the free radicals in the particular cells.

One-year surveillance for enteric viruses in raw sewage, treated water and groundwater near of near effluents from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTPs) of Errachidia, Morocco from March 2018 to April 2019. samples were carried out in 1-liter bottles sterile propylene at the levels of raw water, treated water, and effluent water at several points and well water. Virus concentration was performed according to an end point filtration on cellulose nitrate filter of 0.2µm pore. A total of 108 was screened for Enterovirus (EV), Rotavirus (RV), Norovirus (NoV) and Hepatitis A (HAV) using a real time RT-PCR technique. The study shows a persistence of the contamination of the treated water, effluents and groundwater by EV, NoV and RV. Contrariwise, no HAV was detected in any sample performed during the study period. Detection rate for EV ranged from 100% for surface water to 50% for groundwater. For NoV detection rate ranged from 100% to 33% for surface and groundwater respectively while RV was detected in 8% to 42% in surface water and 0% to 8% in groundwater. These results suggest that enteric virus contamination of wadi Ziz negatively impact on their microbiological quality since they are used for irrigation and drinking intake, which exposes the population of the region to constant risk of acute gastroenteritis, especially in children.

This article looks at how linguistic constructions influenced development of theatre in Uganda. It traces the relationship between the constructions, conceptualization, theory and practice of theatre in Uganda. The article avers that linguistic constructions led to negative perceptions, which led to apathy towards theatre and inhibited Ugandan theatre scholars and practitioners towards adequate theatre conceptualisation, study and practice. The inhibition curtailed development of appropriate approaches to theatre, vis-à-vis ability to recognise artistic value and capability to organise theatrical elements into a good theatre experience, which led to inadequate development of theatre theory, skills, techniques and practice. The article proposes an approach that can help build capacity of theatre practitioners and scholars for appropriate exploitation of the Performing Arts and feed into the government’s efforts of promoting the Creative Arts Industry (CAI) for employment creation, improved social intelligence and sustainable development.

Introduction: Abnormal uterine bleeding can manifest in various ways and is one of the common reasons for visit to the gynaecology OPD. Finding out the etiology is of paramount importance in the management of abnormal uterine bleeding. Histopathological study of endometrial curettings is one of the key ways to diagnose the cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Materials and Methods: Study was conducted as a prospective study spanning over 2 year in the pathology Department of KIMS. The study participants include women with abnormal uterine bleeding who are subjected to general physical examination and basic laboratory investigations. Curettage specimens from these patients were subjected to histopathological examination to find out the etiology. Results: Examination was done on curettage specimens of 150 women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding. The functional causes are more common than organic causes and the proportion increases as the age advances. Hyperplasias either simple, complex or atypical are more common organic etiologies. Endometrial adenocarcinoma is the most common malignancy encountered in the endometrial specimens. Conclusion: There are numerous functional and organic causes that can manifest as abnormal different bleeding. Diagnosis of these causes relies mainly on the histopathological examination of the curettage specimens. Hence management of abnormal uterine bleeding causes depends upon the histopathological diagnosis.

The use of 3D printing has seen a rapid increase in dentistry. This technology offers a lucrative advantage of combining precision and customization with reduced labor and time consumption. It aids the creation of a digital workflow wherein every step is performed virtually without a need for multiple laboratory procedures. Reduced material consumption in additive manufacturing when compared to the traditional milling techniques also makes it a convenient option. However, the properties of rapid prototype materials are dependent on multiple factors. Research on their mechanical properties has been done and factors affecting the same have been determined to an extent. The many aspects involved in the printing of dental materials make it necessary to exhaustively research the influence of each on different materials and techniques of manufacturing. This review aims to describe the present applications of additive manufacturing technologies in fabricating dental restorations. Studies that have explored the accuracy and properties of the materials used at each step, from creating tooth dies to a fixed prosthesis, and compared them with presently used methods have been discussed. The factors that influence the fabrication accuracy and mechanical properties have also been described. Though further studies on the material, technical and biological influences are needed, the present research seems promising. This technology can change the techniques used in restorative dentistry for the benefit of both the patients and dentists alike.

This article presents the results of a scientific economic research, which goal was to reveal the economic indicators resulting from two crises never seen before in Mexico: on the one hand, the health crisis caused by COVID19 and on the other hand, the economic crisis that has been dragging on for several decades. The authors analyzed from the modern conventional economy using the inferential deductive method, the statistical information of the five months of the year 2020 (April-August) regarding the gross domestic product, employment and unemployment in Mexico in order to understand the two crises and propose the alternatives of its solution. The study showed that the average growth rate in employment during the last 36 years in Mexico (neoliberal model) was 1.8%, while unemployment increased in the same period at a rate of 3.4%, an indicator that shows the incapacity of the model to satisfy the demand for labor of the population. Likewise, in the unemployment variable, the neoliberal model implemented since the eighties of the twentieth century in Mexico, has resulted in a low dynamism in GDP, unlike that achieved in the nationalist period, with the consequent reduced number of jobs each six-year term and with it, a considerable increase in the number of unemployed.
