The growth and contemporary challenges of Islamic microfinance in Bangladesh
No full textMicrofinance industry is one of the a sectors of Bangladesh which has been experienced a
tremendous growth in last three decades. The aim of developing microfinance schemes is to provide business
opportunities for the poor in order to promote their financial health. Initially, the conventional model has only
been used to give financing. With the passage of time, Islamic model of financing is also included under
microfinancing programs. Nowadays, both conventional and Islamic models are currently being used to provide
financing. However, several researchers believe that the Islamic model of financing is more effective as it
considers basic human needs. But, the growth of Islamic microfinance is not as it is expected. At present,
Islamic Microfinance Institutions (IMFIs) in Bangladesh are facing a number of challenges due to its nature,
lack of resources and regulatory support. Therefore, this study is going to deliberate rationales behind the
growth of Islamic microfinance industry in Bangladesh. Moreover, current challenges and possible suggestions
of this industry are also discussed. The article has been mainly designed based on secondary data. It is expected
that the output of this study might be beneficial for microfinance practitioners, learners and researchers
especially those who have interest on this issue
A review of medicinal plants and daily foods used in Southeast Asia possessing antidiabetic activity
No full textAccording to the recent estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), 422 million adults aged over 18
years were living with diabetes in 2014 globally. Surprising, about 1.6 million deaths was reported cause directed
by diabetes in 2016. In Southeast Asia alone, 96 million people have diabetes, and this is predicted to increase.
The incidence of diabetes is worryingly increasing especially in developing countries. Numerous synthetic drugs
have been discovered to control this disease, but these drugs can lead to negative side effects. Therefore, people
are looking for natural remedies to combat the disease. The objective of this review is to study of the medicinal
plants and daily foods that have been used to treat diabetes. Instead of common traditional medicinal plants
such as Andrographis paniculata, Averrhoa bilimbi, Camellia sinensis, Cosmos caudatus Kunth, Leucaena leucocephala,
Momordica charantia, Ocimum sanctum, Orthosiphon stamineus, Panax ginseng and Pereskia bleo and; daily foods
ingredients like fenugreek, garlic, ginger, onion and turmeric possess significant positive effects on diabetic
patients. Antioxidants, for instance andrographolide, flavonoids glycosides like epicatechin, quercetin, catechin,
myricetin, epigallocatechin gallate, polysaccharide compound galactomannan, saponin, gingerol, allicin, euganol
and curcuma, dietary fibers and some minerals such as magnesium as well as amino acid such as 4-
hydroxyisoleucine were found to be responsible for this effect. Although some responsible compounds are
known, the mechanisms involved are not yet fully explored. Thus, further research on the mechanism, effective
dosage and toxicity of the particular medicinal plants need to be comprehensively studied before they can be
marketed as nutraceutical products
الابتداء الصرفي في القرآن الكريم Morphological initiation in the holy Qur’an
No full textThis article discusses a significant issue which is pivotal to the Arabic Linguistic
heritage, which is represented in the phenomenon of the morphological initiation in the Holy
Qur’an. The article’s problem lies in the difficulty many Muslims face in reciting the Holy
Qur’an and rightly pronounce the letters, as well as understanding its meanings and knowing
its objectives. They do not how to recite so they commit a big mistake. This article aims
to identify the way to utter the initial parts of Qur’anic words properly. For example, there is a
rule which says: “No initial utterance with sukoon" which indicates that initial utterance has to
begin with a letter with vowel on it, and when the initial part of a word begins with a consonant
letter it will generate a linguistically prohibited segment. This can be solved by a hamzatul-wasl
to ease uttering the consonant letter (with sukoon) for specific considerations and specific
positions with a specific vowel. The researcher adopted the descriptive and inductive
methodology. She found that the morphological initiation is manifested in how to initiate the
utterance of a Qur’anic word, and what the facets of starting the initial parts of words are. Nost
of the discussions regarding this problem lie in the conjunctive hamzah (Hamzatul-wasl)
because the change in the initial utterances occur in it
Adult tetanus in the 21st century: Where are we? case series and review
No full textObjective: To review cases of severe adult tetanus admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) and describe clinical features,
etiologic factors and outcome of 2 patients with the diagnosis of severe adult tetanus. Study Design: A retrospective
case series. Methods: Medical records of patients admitted with severe tetanus to adult intensive care Hospital Raja
Perempuan Zainab 2 (HRPZ 2) in 2018 were reviewed. Results: 2 patients were identified, aged of 18 years old and 72
years old. Both patients presented to our care after 14 days of alleged cut by scrap metal with clinical features of
severe tetanus and multiorgan impairment. However, the elderly patient developed a life-threatening autonomic
disturbance. Despite good improvement of their clinical condition, the elderly patient was discharged from intensive
care unit after 41 days of admission, whereas the younger patient was discharged from intensive care unit after 7 days
of admission. Conclusion: Adult tetanus will remain a relevant and important disease in the 21st century. With the
advancement of care in the intensive care unit, there is a shift in a cause of death that is from acute airway obstruction,
respiratory failure and renal failure as a prominent cause of death to a complication of autonomic disturbance and
intensive care related complications with include nosocomial infection, sepsis and complications of prolonged stay in
intensive care unit. Lack of definitive randomized control trial, with a significant lack of familiarity and compliance to
tetanus prophylactic among physicians will remain as a major issue in managing tetanus in the 21st century. This issue
is further complicated by a gradual loss of immunity to tetanus among elderly population
Effects of papaya seeds on quantitative hematological parameters in female rabbits
No full textPapaya seeds have been used since ancient times in folklore medicine for treatment of various diseases; nowadays these are researched in a
scientific way to standardize their beneficial medicinal and nutritional properties. Seeds contain many bio-active ingredients. Normally, seeds
are wasted in spite of their nutraceutical values. This study will help to save the wastage of papaya seeds. This study was planned to assess the
pharmacological aspects of seeds of Carica papaya on haematological parameters so may be useful as a substitute treatment option for various
hematological diseases.
For this study thirty adult and healthy female rabbits were selected and subdivided into two groups, Group A (Control) n=15, given only fresh
hay & water and Group B (study) n=15, given papaya seeds powder as dose of 500mg once a day along with fresh hay & water provided ad
libitum, then complete blood picture tests were performed on Day 0, 15, 30, 45 & 60 at Diagnostic & Research Laboratory PUMHSW-SBA,
to observe the effects of papaya seeds on haematological parameters. No significant change was seen in haemoglobin percentage, it remained
within the normal reference range. The significant increment was seen in RBCs (10.52%) in Group-B (study) up to day-45, decreased levels
seen in HCT, MCV, MCH, and MCHC in Group-B (study) in comparison of the Group-A (control).Papaya seeds raised the RBCs counts, no
significant effect seen in haemoglobin percentage. So Papaya seeds can be utilized in several therapies and medical applications because of its
effectiveness, availability and safety

Micro-propagation of aquatic plant Brazilian micro sword ( Lileaopsis brasiliensis )
No full textLileaopsis brasiliensis is one of the ornamental aquatic plants and yet still being commercialized in Malaysia because
of the grassy foreground features. This study is conducted to propagate higher quantity and quality of L. brasiliensis
and to determine the optimum concentration of plant growth regulator for the micro-propagation in Murashige
and Skoog (MS) (1962) basal media with different concentration of Naphteneacetic acid (NAA) and 6-
Benzylaminopurine (BAP) for four weeks period following with subculture procedure. All treatments for 1 L MS
media were adjusted to pH 5.7-5.8, adding sucrose and pytagel with 30 g/L and 2.5 g/L, respectively. The explants
were sub-cultured at least three times within five months. The results of the quality and quantity of this species
within different concentration of NAA and BAP have been determined. For shoot regeneration, the highest
number of shoot induced in initial culture (C0), first (C1), second (C2) and the third subculture (C3) were 103, 102,
104 and 137 respectively. There was no significant different of shoot regeneration in different concentration of
NAA and BAP combination. However, the high number of shoot regeneration was obtained from the following
concentration NAA: BAP: zero concentration in both C0 (103.0±5.3) and C2 (104.0±14.2), 1.5: 0.0 mg/L with
102.0±4.4 and1.5:0.5 mg/L with 137.0±41.2 in C1 and C3, respectively. Based on the results, it can be concluded
that shoot regeneration was observed even though in very low concentration of NAA and BAP
