The Lahawiyin: Identity and History in a Sudanese Arab Tribe
No full textThe Lahawiyin:
Identity and History in a Sudanese Arab Tribe
Tamador Ahmed Khalid Abdalla
Abstract
This thesis is concerned with the Lahawiyin of northern Sudan, and it explores
the relationship between identity and history in this Sudanese Arab tribe since
the late nineteenth century. The history of the Lahawiyin reveals continuous
crossings of borders and boundaries through a period of substantial political
and economic change, much of it driven by external forces.
The thesis demonstrates that the Lahawiyin Arab identity has been central to
the way that Lahawiyin leaders have sought to develop and maintain their
authority, and the ways in which ordinary Lahawiyin have tried to maintain a
particular way of life and patterns of social relations. Arab identity has been
used instrumentally to make claims or assert rights; but it has also shaped the
way in which Lahawiyin have understood their interests. The emphasis on
Arab identity has been closely linked to the prolonged campaign by some
Lahawiyin for a homeland (dar), and in the way that Lahawiyin have
negotiated their subordinate status within larger Arab confederations – first the
Kababish, then the Shukriyya. It has also shaped Lahawiyin relationships with
their own subordinates, particularly slaves. Though the Lahawiyin campaign
for a dar has not been successful, and their lifestyle of most Lahawiyin has
now changed irrevocably away from pastoralism, Arab identity has continued
to be important in current contests over the political status of potential leaders,
and the group as a whole.
The thesis makes use of a range of archival sources in the UK National
Archive, in Sudan Archive at Durham and at the National Records Office in
Khartoum. During the fieldwork various academic sources were consulted in
Khartoum and Gedarif which form an important aspect of the narratives
together with the many stories which were generated from the oral histories
told by the Lahawiyin.
Using these materials, the thesis discusses how the Lahawiyin, have utilized
their Arabness, and the way they present their history, to negotiate their status
with a series of regimes, from the Turco-Egyptian state of the nineteenth
century to the current regime of the National Congress Party

Providing pharmacy services during the coronavirus pandemic in Saudi Arabia
No full textAbstract: On March 2, 2020, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia confirmed its first case of the emerging coronavirus strain that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Shortly thereafter, the number of confirmed cases nationwide began to rise. Since the looming outbreak, all healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, began to work at maximum capacity and effort. The Saudi Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SSCP) recognizes the significant impact pharmacists can have during outbreaks. Based on the scientific evidence available during this outbreak, the SSCP set up an expert working group to conceptualize and draft proposed recommendations that highlight the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists during epidemics and pandemics. The SSCP working group made 28 recommendations. In addition to national and institutional guidelines, these recommendations could serve as guidance for affected entities.

Tâcüşşerîa Ömer b. Ahmed (Ö. 696 sonrası)'in Nihâyetü'l-Kifâye li-Dirâyeti'l-Hidâye adlı el yazma eserinin 2. cilt bey' ve ikrâh bölümleri (Tahkik ve değerlendirme)
No full textBu çalışmada, Hanefi fakihlerinden İmam Tâcüşşerîa Ömer b. Ahmed el-Mahbûbî'nin Nihâyetü'l-Kifâye li-Dirâyeti'l-Hidâye adlı eserini tahkik ederek değerlendirdik. El yazma, Merginânî'nin el-Hidâye şerhu bidâyetü'l-mübtedî adlı eserinin "kavluhu" tipi kısmî şerhidir. Müellif, eserini anlaşılır bir üslupla yazmıştır. Eser, el-Hidâye'nin en eski ikinci şerhi olması ve kapalı yönlerini şerh etmesi yönüyle faydalıdır. Eserin müellifi Tâcüşşerîa, Orta Asya Hanefî mezhebi tarihi, Buhara ilim ve siyasetinde öne çıkan/sadr ailelerinden Mahbûbîler'e mensuptur. Müellifin soy ağacındaki baba, oğul ve vefat bilgisi ile ilgili karışıklığı, çeşitli el yazmalardaki şecerelerden gidererek torunundan aşağı doğru ailenin yakınlık sırası Sadrüşşerîa es-Sani Ubeydullah b. Mesud b. Tâcüşşerîa Ömer b. Sadrüşşerîa el-Evvel Ahmed b. Ubeydullah b. İbrahim şeklindedir. Vefat tarihi 709 değil yaşadığı olaylara kıyasla 696 sonrası bir tarih olmalıdır. El yazmasının 30 civarı nüshası olup ikinci cilde ait 12 nüshadan 10 tanesi karşılaştırarak tahkik ettik. Esas aldığımız Fatih Kütüphanesi nüshası, müellifin imla ettirdiği en eski nüshalardan biri olup hayatına en yakın nüshadır. Çalışmamız, el yazmanın ikinci cildi bey'-ikrah bölümleri arasındaki bölümlerdir.In this study, we evaluated the work of Imam Tajussharia Omar b. Ahmad al-Mahbûbî, one of the Hanafi faqihs, titled Nihâyah al-Kifâyah li-Dirâyah al-Hidâyah. The manuscript is the partial commentary of the "kavluhu" type of Marginânî's al-Hidâyah şerhu bidâyah al-mubtedî. The author wrote his work in an understandable style. The work is useful in that it is the second oldest commentary of al-Hidayah, and it interprets the closed aspects. The author of the work, Tajussharia, belongs to the Mahbûbîs one of the prominent / sadr families in the history of the Hanafi sect of Central Asia, the science and politics of Bukhara. Clearing up the confusion about the father, son and death information in the author's family tree from the genealogies in various manuscripts, the order of closeness of the family from the grandson down is Sadrushsharia as-Sani Ubaydullah b. Masud b. Tajussharia Omar b. Sadrushsharia al-Awwal Ahmad b. Ubaydullah b. Ibrahim. The date of his death should not be 709, but a date after 696 compared to the events he experienced. There are about 30 copies of the manuscript, and we have compared and examined 10 of the 12 copies of the second volume. The copy of the Fatih Library, on which we are based, is one of the oldest copies written by the author and the closest copy to his life. Our study is the chapters between the bay'/sale-ikrâh/coercion chapters of the second volume of the manuscript

Prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni and It’s association with hepatitis B in Gummuiya Agricultural Scheme
No full textThe cross sectional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni infection and it’s association with hepatitis B infection in residents of the Gummuiya scheme in the suburbs of Omdurman .
Faecal and urine samples from 225individuals in the village of Baraka in Gummuiya Agricultural Scheme were examined for S.mansoni and S.haematobium eggs using modified Kato thick smear and tube centrifugation techniques . The prevalence of of S.mansoniwas found to be (25.3%).
A serosurvey of 128 subjects for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was conducted.These subjects comprise 46 bilharzia patients ,38negative controls from the study area and 44 negative controls from Khartoum
The sero-positivity of (HBsAg) in these groups was 30.4% ,7.8% and 11.3% respectively . The difference in the positivity was statistically significant.(chi –square = 6.55,=P ‹0.05 =0.01049).
This result is indicative of the existence of an association between S.mansoni and hepatitis infection. The reasons underlying this association were uncertain but the immune stastus of the infected person seems to be the main reason
Aberrant antigen expression in acute leukemia: A single center study in Saudi Arabia
No full textAbstract: Appropriate clinical care of hematologic malignancies depends on timely and accurate diagnosis. The category of cancers known as acute leukemias is diverse, with each disease having a unique clinical presentation, prognosis, and preferred course of therapy. The majority of morphologic and cytochemical characteristics were used in historical categorization systems, but currently, immunophenotypic, cytogenetic, and molecular data are included to construct clinically useful diagnostic classifications. When combined with morphologic evaluation, multiparameter flow cytometry quickly and precisely determines antigen expression profiles in acute leukemias, which frequently supports a specific diagnosis or a limited differential. Because numerous recurrent molecular or cytogenetic abnormalities are linked to distinctive immunophenotypic characteristics, flow cytometry is a crucial tool for guiding additional testing.
Even within a single acute leukemia subtype, the identification of certain antigens may have prognostic or therapeutic significance. The immunophenotypic fingerprint of a leukemia after first diagnosis serves as a helpful guide to track treatment response, minimal residual disease, and recurrence.
Objective: To evaluate flowcytometry role in distinguishing acute myeloid leukemia (AML) from ALL using CD markers.
Material and methods: This is retrospective study conducted in King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh city, in the period between November to December 2019 on patients with acute leukemia diagnosis.
Conclusion: Accurate acute leukemia diagnosis and categorization depend on immunophenotypic analysis. Multiparameter flow cytometry offers a quick and efficient way to gather these data, as well as prognostic data and a technique for assessing minimal residual illness.
Keywords: Appropriate clinical care, accurate diagnosis, leukemias, cytochemical characteristics.

Pediatric Unilateral Chronic Sinusitis: Clinical and Radiological Patterns Compared to Adults
No full textIntroduction: Upper respiratory tract infections and sinusitis are more prevalent in children than in adults. Unilateral sinusitis is not uncommon disease. Our aim was to analyze the disease characteristics in children with unilateral sinusitis and compare them with those of adults.Materials and Methods: This study included 124 patients with unilateral chronic sinusitis divided according to age into two groups: pediatric group ≤18 years (66 cases) and adult group >18 years (58 cases). The groups were compared in terms of demographic data, side, clinical manifestations and radiological findings.Results: In pediatric patients, the most common inflammatory pathology was antrochoanal polyps, followed by allergic fungal sinusitis. On the other hand, chronic sinusitis without nasal polyps is the most common in adults, followed by antrochoanal polyps. The mean duration of clinical manifestations before diagnosis in pediatric patients was significantly shorter than that in adults (P=0.001). The most common symptoms in both pediatric and adult patients were anterior nasal discharge and nasal obstruction. Proptosis was significantly higher in pediatric group than in adult group (P=0.015). On computed tomography (CT), the most commonly affected sinus in both pediatric and adult patients was the maxillary sinus followed by the anterior ethmoid sinus. Bone expansion, erosion and involvement of adjacent structures were significantly higher in pediatric patients (P=0.028, 0.027 respectively).Conclusion: Pediatric patients have a high incidence of antrochoanal polyps and allergic fungal sinusitis as unilateral inflammatory lesions. These lesions require surgical management. Inflammatory paranasal sinus lesions in pediatric patients have a shorter duration of clinical manifestations and a higher incidence of bone erosion and involvement of adjacent structures; therefore, early diagnosis and management prevent complications
