Morpho-Physiological and Enzymatic Responses of Zinnia (Zinnia elegans L.) to Different Metal Hoarded Wastewaters
No full textWastewater, as an irrigation source, offers various advantages, significantly enhancing soil fertility, crop development, soil health, and preventing soil alkalinization. The introduction of non-conventional water resources (treated greywater, and treated wastewater) in floriculture plays a crucial role in water conservation. This study examined the impact of treated greywater (wastewater generated from domestic activities such as bathing, showering, laundry, and dishwashing) and treated wastewater (water from toilets, showers, kitchen sinks, and industrial processes) on photosynthetic characteristics, stress-related metabolites, and antioxidative enzymes in zinnia plants. A six-month pot experiment was conducted, with three water sources (canal water, treated greywater, and treated wastewater) and two zinnia varieties (Peter pan and Dreamland). During the flowering stages, when the zinnia flower petals were fully opened. Several parameters were measured, including pigments, photosynthetic attributes, total soluble protein, hydrogen peroxide and glycinebetaine. Moreover, antioxidant enzymatic activities like peroxidase (POX), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) were also investigated in zinnia plants to assess their resilience against abiotic stressors caused by high levels of heavy metals and excessive nutrients present in wastewaters. Results indicated that treated greywater (TGW) significantly improved vegetative parameters, such as plant height, leaf number, leaf area, and stem diameter. Additionally, flowering attributes, including the number and diameter of flowers, as well as fresh and dry plant biomass, increased in Peter pan variety under treated greywater irrigation. Chlorophyll and carotenoid contents were notably reduced in plants irrigated with treated greywater and treated wastewater. Photosynthetic attributes, such as stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, and photosynthetic rate, significantly improved in zinnia plants under treated greywater irrigation. Stress-related metabolites and antioxidant enzymatic activities also showed substantial enhancements under treated greywater irrigation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) confirmed the positive effect of treated greywater on flower quality, plant biomass, and physiological processes. Utilizing treated greywater and wastewater for Zinnia cultivation is a promising approach. Ensuring the ongoing monitoring and management of harmful substances in wastewater is vital, involving regular testing, quality control, and other actions. This practice contributes to environmental conservation, sustainable agriculture, efficient water resource management, reduced energy use, and enhanced soil health, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly option for floriculture

The Hajj : past, present and future: the communication aspect
No full textIt is the aim of this thesis to investigate the work of the Saudi Arabian media and the information services in relation to the Hajj, to examine their policies, procedures and problems faced by them, and to propose solutions and improvements. The basic objective of this study during the Hajj is to examine how the Saudi Arabian media can serve more effectively the needs of the pilgrims, with their different cultures and languages.
An historical examination of the evolution of the Hajj, the services and the media form the background and context for the examination of the current position. The following
research methods were adopted:
1- Group discussions and interviews were carried out amongsts ome of the Islamic media visiting the Hajj in order to highlight any problems and concerns
about the work of the Saudi Arabian media during the Hajj.
2- A content analysis of the Saudi Arabian newspapers
during the Hajj season was carried out using a quota sampling procedure. In total 434 articles were studied using nine coding categories.
3- The content and form of Saudi Arabian radio and television programmes, Hajj handbooks,cassettes and video tapes provided for the pilgrims were analysed.
4- The daily routine of the average pilgrim during the 1993 Hajj season was observed.
This work is divided into eight chapters. The Introduction (Chapter One) covers a statement of the problems, aims of the study and gives the various sources of information. In Chapter Two the historical background of the city of Mecca and the Kaaba is discussed, thus providing the historical aspects of the Hajj. The Saudi Arabian Royal Family and the Hajj are discussedin Chapter Three with respect to the importance of the Hajj as a religious obligation. Chapter Four examines the present Saudi Arabian official Hajj policy and procedures, the ministries and committees administering the Hajj and their terms of reference, and specific problems related to the Muslim calendar, weather, transport, accommodation, food, health, and security. Chapter Five is' devoted to the development of the Saudi Arabian media and their coverage of the Hau. Chapter
Six analyses the problems which face the Saudi Arabian media during the Hai. Chapter Seven deals with proposed solutions. Finally, conclusions are presented regarding the
main features of the present communication systems with regard to the coverage of the Hajj.
There are nine major findings in this study:
1- Much has been written on the history of the two Holy cities of Mecca and al-Madina and Arabia's Hajj before and under the Islam, but little attention has been paid to the communication aspects of information and instruction
available to the pilgrims.
2- The Saudi Arabian media strives to cater for all the pilgrims during their Haij.
3- The Pilgrims, however need more and better targeted information before, as well as after, their arrival in Saudi Arabia.
4- Most of the pilgrims have no radio or television sets in their buildings and so they are not directly exposed to Saudi Arabian Information.
5- The Saudi Arabian Hajj newspapers provide special information supplements, but these are not as effective as had been hoped.
6- The Islamic media delegation which visit Saudi Arabia during the Hajj believes that the Saudi Arabian media does not serve the pilgrims from different cultures adequately as there is a lack of programme targeting and a shortage of
information for non arabic speaking pilgrims.
7- The Saudi Arabian television channels are unable, as yet, to provide services in the main pilgrims' languages, but new technologies should be able to redress this.
8- The Saudi Arabian Radio and TV stations need better scheduling.
9- No systematic study has yet been carried out about the pilgrims' attitudes, their daily movements, access and reaction to the Saudi Arabian Media during the Hail: such a study should form the basis of future media and information
policies

Conflict of law and the methodology of Tarjīẖ : a study in Islamic legal theory
No full textIslamic law never achieved unity but expressed itself in, at least, four surviving schools. More interestingly, contemporary Muslim communities are still divided among themselves on a number of issues related to their laws. This work describes how problem of legal conflicts have been tackled by Muslim jurists. It is an attempt to examine closely the phenomenon of conflict in Islamic law from the standpoint of usūl-al-fiqh or Islamic legal theory. In fact, much is heard nowadays of the contradiction in the body of Islamic law. Whilst in contrast, little is presented in terms of the methodology of removing this conflict. The present work therefore, attempts to redress this balance. The emphasis of the work will be concerned primarily with tarjīh methodology ; how to give preference to one piece of evidence or argument over the other when they conflict. Nevertheless, considerable concern is given to investigating the background to the conflict of law in the Shari'ah.
This study of a neglected area in Islamic legal scholarship will be an important source of reference to students, both practising and theoretical jurists or to anyone who merely wishes to increase his knowledge of legal themes, particularly legal conflict. The very aim of the work is to argue that conflict is a natural and unavoidable consequence of legal study because legal conflict is only conflicting principles and arguments adduced by both the classical and modern jurists to reach what is actually intended by God in the target case. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable in most of the cases in fiqh owing to the variety of principles set out to deal with one piece of legal evidence, let alone with all the pieces of legal evidence in question.
Tarjīh is therefore, an important and workable instrument in the re-examination of these conflicts and in arriving at the most accurate principle for establishing the law for as long as this is possible. It is hoped that the discovery of new facts and the increase of knowledge which results from the broadening and deepening of the research will positively contribute to the process of unification of Islamic law
