Potential of Pseudomonas sp. & Bacillus sp. for Controlling Fusarium oxysporum, A Causal Agent For Rockmelon Fusarium Wilt Disease
Fusarium sp. recognized as among main pathogen to the rockmelon. The disease was renown as Fusarium wilt
disease (FWD). As to the FWD, objectives of this study were to obtain the pure culture of Fusarium oxyporum f.
sp. melonis (Fom), and to control the Fom via biological control method using effective bacteria. Beside, the study
was also screened the plant growth promoting properties of Pseudomonas sp. and Bacillus sp.. Fusarium oxysporum f.
sp. melonis Snyder & Hans caused postharvest disease problem affecting melon production and loss almost 100 %
due to this destructive disease. Effective bacteria like Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. has a good potential to
suppress growth of pathogen. Based on the phenotypic identification and morphological characterization of
fungus isolated was identified as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis and it was than confirmed with molecular
methods with 99% similarity. Environmental factors that give the optimum growth of Fusarium were evaluated.
Based on the result, the growth of fungus showed the best on PDA media (2.538 ± 0.095 cm), 30 °C (2.475 ±
0.096 cm), pH 4 (2.700 ± 0.216 cm) and under continuous dark condition (3.433 ± 0.115 cm). The Bacillus sp.
(DP - 1) showed the highest antagonistic activity of fungus and bacteria with 70.68 % in dual culture assay and
highest inhibition of fungus growth in double layer test with no ability to growth. As production of protease, all
7 bacteria tested showed positive result of by producing clear zone on PDA media except by B43. From several
parameter tested, the result showed that Bacillus sp. has more potential as biological control agent to control the
Fusarium wilt disease in rockmelon plant compared to Pseudomonas sp.
Protective Effects of Thymoquinone on the MDMA induced Cerebrospinal Fluid Serotonin Depletion in Rats
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; “ecstasy”) is an illicit drug belongs to the amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) group. The long-term effect of MDMA includes depletion of extracellular serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Hence, this study aimed to investigate the protective effects of thymoquinone (TQ) in preventing the 5-HT depletion induced by a single MDMA exposure in rats. This study was designed by dividing the rats randomly into four groups i.e: i) Control group, receiving 0.1 ml/kg saline, ii) MDMA group, receiving a single administration of 20 mg/kg MDMA, iii) MDMA-TQ group, receiving a single administration of 20 mg/kg MDMA and being treated with 40 mg/kg TQ for one week and, iv) TQ group, receiving 40 mg/kg TQ for one week. All compounds were administered through oral gavage. Percentage of weight gain was measured, and at the end of the experiment, cerebrospinal fluid was collected from the cisterna magna to evaluate the 5-HT level. Our results demonstrated a significant increased in 5-HT level in MDMA-TQ group as compared to the MDMA group. MDMA-TQ group also showed a higher percentage of weight gain as compared to the MDMA group. Our study suggested that the long-term MDMA induced 5-HT depletion in rats’ cerebrospinal fluid can be prevented by thymoquinone

معالم الطريق لبناء أسرة سعيدة في الإسلام
Islam is greatly interested in the Islamic family, because of the high regard it holds in the Muslim community. Islam considers the family the first pillar in reproducing righteous progeny, who is good in himself and serves goodness to others, a lover of good for both his country and the ummah. In our contemporary time, there many challenges faced under the pretense of openness and rapid development in all facets of life and this includes ways and means of social communications, which exposes everyone to the danger it poses on the family. The purpose of this paper is to enunciate ways to building a happy family in Islam and to warn against the danger of complacency in contemporary variables, the neglect of which would lead to the demolition and destruction of the family structure. The paper also aims at showing the importance of choosing a wife with religious conviction and morals, and the depth of the danger posed by the social communication on family disintegration and the destruction of values and ethics. The paper arrived at the conclusions that building a family properly and rationally is not an easy task, but rather a great duty that needs preparation and readiness, and that that the marital life is not to be taken as playful and funny, it is not just for passionate amusement and carnal enjoyment, but rather it is filled with consequences, responsibilities and duties. Whoever trivializes it is ignorant of the divine legislative wisdom therein, and whoever abuses it or intentionally misplaces its rights deserves the wrath and punishment of Allah SWT. The paper also concludes that the Islamic family is subjected to fierce attacks that utilize all possibilities for the demolition and disintegration of its entity, the effect of which would be negative and bad for individuals and the society if the enemies of the ummah succeed in that. A family so desired for happiness and stability is built on solid foundations, the most notable of which is the care and respect for the rights among the spouses, cohabitation, and open prospects of strong emotions, in order that the spring of love flows and the bond is strengthened

A New Beginning of Trauma Theory in Literature
Cathy Caruth’s Unclaimed Experience: Trauma, Narrative, and History and Kali Tal’s Worlds
of Hurt: Reading the Literatures of Trauma sparked a great attention to literature lovers.
Her suggestion on Trauma Theory enlightens a new era in poststructral approach
of analyzing literary texts. Slowly but gradually, several models were introduced
which inherent neurobiological features of trauma that refuse representation and
cause dissociation were significant to arguments that sought to emphasize the
extent of profound suffering from an external source, whether that source is an
individual perpetrator or collective social practice. It was quickly accompanied by
alternative models and methodologies that revised this foundational claim to suggest
determinate value exists in traumatic experience. However, the researcher would
like to explore and reintroduce Trauma Theory in more contemporary approach so
that it will be acceptable and practical in all genres of literature. Similarly, this study
is in line with the critics such as Leys and Cvetkovich who establish a psychological
framework apart from the classic model thus produce different conclusions regarding
trauma’s influence upon language, perception, and society. The researcher believes
that Trauma Theory should be viewed in a larger conceptual framework rather
than the social psychology theories in addition to neurobiological theories; that is
in the view of Critical Thinking. This stance might therefore consider dubious the
assertion of trauma’s intrinsic dissociation. The discussion focuses more on the
roles of Critical Thinking in supporting Trauma Theory in several selected poems. In
conclusion, the findings might prove that Critical Thinking and Trauma Theory can be
blended together in developing learners’ intellectuality and maturity in analyzing and
appreciating literary texts
Saving the Fetus in Material Schizophrenia: The Role and Safety of Electroconvulsive Therapy (Ect) in Pregnancy
Managing schizophrenia during pregnancy often presents a clinical dilemma. Although pharmacological interventions are mostly effective for these disorders during pregnancy, there are few drawbacks for this approach. The potential teratogenicity and long duration of interventions required to control the symptoms somehow limits its usage during pregnancy. Here we described a case report of treatment-resistant schizophrenia successfully treated with ECT without obvious complication to the mother and her baby.
Conclusion: Electroconvulsive therapy is an ideal alternative treatment for a patient with schizophrenia during pregnancy. ECT also will eliminate the potential side effects of antipsychotic medications on the mother and teratogenicity effect to the fetus, especially during the first trimester
