Abstract: Today the developments in the Middle East, if it is on the one hand in order to the demands and needs of their people but on the other hand is representing the crystallization of greatness of February 22 and the Islamic Revolution; They were followed from the Islamic Revolution as a model, because it is based on religious doctrine, such as democracy, social justice, independence, and freedom. The Islamic Revolution can be regarded as a turning point not only In the Muslim world of awakening and liberation, but also for other nations awakening It should be noted that the influence of the Islamic Revolution was different from the formation of all Islamic movements and currents because of the differences in intellectual, cultural and geographical affinities and  etc.; The Islamic Revolution could find its position among Muslims and the emancipatory movements as a way of fighting,and have the very positive and constructive influence in awakening the Muslims. The spiritual and political influence of Islamic Revolution in the Muslim world, the liberation movements and Islamic movements, was concerned to the west and the main cause of hostile of America to the Islamic Revolution is the impact of this important event of the twentieth century in the Muslim world; and severity of the anti-colonial movements and anti-occupation in the Middle East from The day after of victory of Islamic Revolution.

Abstract: During indirect regeneration of plants, chances of somaclonal variations may arise. These variations should be identified to produce true to type plants. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and sodium dodecyl sulphate - poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) were used to assess the somaclonal variation among regenerated plantlets, an embryogenic calli produced from leaf explants compared to in vivo plants of three  cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cultivars (Waffir F1, Beith Alpha and Fares). Five ISSR primers yielded 34 distinct and reproducible band patterns with an average of 6.8 bands per primer. Jaccard's similarity coefficients revealed presence of a relatively high genetic similarity (75%) among regenerated plantlets and in vivo plants of Beith Alpha cultivar compared to other cultivars. However, relatively high genetic variability have been recorded among calli and in vivo plants of Waffir F1 (62%) and Fares (45%) cultivars.  Protein profile derived by SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that there are variation among in vivo plants, calli and regenerated plantlets of three cucumber cultivars. The molecular weights of detected bands for all samples ranged from 23 to 107 KDa. A hundred percent (100 %) similarity between in vivo plants of Waffir and Beith Alpha cultivars as well as between their calli has been noted. The regenerated plantlets of Beith Alpha showed a relatively higher similarity of 78% with in vivo plants. Variations in protein pattern were recorded between calli and regenerated plantlets of Waffir (70%) and Beith Alpha (57%) cultivars from one side and between calli and in vivo plants from another side (67% in both cultivars). We think that leaf explant culturing influenced by the cucumber cultivar genotype and some genotypes are more susceptible to somaclonal variation, or that the in vitro instability is actually a consequence of a genotype versus culture medium interaction. Our results suggested that rapid propagation of cucumber Beith Alpha cultivar via leaf organogenesis is an acceptable method with a lower risk of somaclonal variation.

Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the ovulatory outcome of combined clomiphene citrate (CC) stimulation with pioglitazone hydrochloride (ACTOS) versus metformin treatment in conjunction with weight reduction dieting program. Patients & Methods: 80 polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women diagnosed according to the Rotterdam criteria underwent transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU), anthropometric measurements and estimation of fasting blood glucose (FBG), plasma insulin (FPI) and insulin resistance (IR) was measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and hormonal profile. CC (50 mg twice daily) was given on Days 2–6 of a menstrual cycle in combination with either ACTOS (15 mg tablets once daily) or metformin (0.5 gm tablets trice daily). Estimated serum progesterone ≥25 nmol/l on Day 21 of the cycle indicates ovulation. The frequency of women got follicles >16 mm was considered as ovulation success rate. At the end of 3 months, HOMA-IR score was re-evaluated. Results: At the end of 3-months therapy, all women showed significant reduction of BMI and HOMA-IR scores compared to pre-treatment scores with non-significant difference between studied groups, but the percentage of change of HMOA-IR score was significantly higher with ACTOS compared to metformin. Ovulation was assured in 65 patients (81.3%); 36 patients (90%) received ACTOS and 29 patients (72.5%) received metformin with significant difference in favor of ACOTS. ROC curve analysis to predict the oncoming effect of insulin sensitizing drugs on ovulatory function defined the pre-treatment HOMA-IR score as a significant screening parameter. Conclusion, for PCOS women, combined CC and ACTOS therapy in association with weight reduction provides the best chance for getting regular ovulation with better biomilieu and promises for higher chances for getting pregnant.

Abstract:The aim of the study was to evaluate the physico-chemical and mineral contents of the commercially available Morinda citrifolia juice and a popular blackcurrant fruit juice used as supplements on the performance of university athletes in Nigeria. The popular blackcurrant fruit juice was used as a placebo drink in a double-blind study because it has similar colour, flavor and taste as the commercially available Morinda citrifolia juice. Physico-chemical and mineral analysis of Morinda citrifolia and placebo juice were carried out using standard methods of AOAC. These include Specific Gravity, Phosphate – Phosphorus, Total Solid, and Total Dissolved Solid. The iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) and magnesium (Mg) were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, sodium (Na) and potassium (K) by Flame Photometer and phosphorus (P) by Spectrophotometer. The results revealed that Morinda citrifolia juice contained iron (3.42 ppm), Zinc (1.64 ppm), Calcium (11.40 ppm), Manganese (0.733 ppm) and Magnesium (32.86 ppm), sodium (28.17 ppm), Potassium (379.97 ppm), Nitrogen (0.047%), Sodium chloride (0.09%), Sulphates (5.73%), Phosphates (0.002%) and total solids (136.60 mg/l). It also revealed that the placebo drink contained iron (2.59 ppm), Zinc (1.74 ppm), Calcium (8.80 ppm), Manganese (0.740 ppm) and Magnesium (6.58 ppm), sodium (4.74 ppm), Potassium (13.350 ppm), Nitrogen (0.021%), Sodium chloride (0.12%), Sulphates (4.56%), Phosphates (0.002%) and total solids (693.400 mg/l). The result of the mineral profile of Morinda citrifolia juice indicated that the Morinda citrifolia juice contains vital minerals (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc and salt). Mineral analysis showed that Morinda citrifolia juice had higher mineral contents except for manganese, zinc and Na+ salt compared to the placebo juice. Physico-chemical analysis showed that Morinda citrifolia juice had higher nitrogen and sulphate contents compared to the placebo juice, while the placebo juice has higher value for total solids compared to Morinda citrifolia juice. However, both have the same phosphate contents. The compositional profile of Morinda citrifolia juice revealed that it contains vital minerals (potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc and salt).

Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effects of different cropping systems and seasonal variations on soil microbial biomass and enzymatic activities in arid soils. For this purpose, soil samples were collected from the soils under wheat (Triticum aestivum) – maize (Zea mays. L) and wheat – mung bean (Vigna radiata) cropping systems. The data showed that the soil microbial biomass Carbon (MBC), Nitrogen (MBN), Phosphorous (MBP) and soil enzymes such as dehydrogenase (DH) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activities varied in all seasons. Overall, summer showed more soil MBC, MBN and MBP contents and relatively more DH and AP activities as compared to the other seasons. The soil MBC contents were higher under wheat-maize cropping system, while the soil MBN and MBP contents were higher under wheat-mung bean cropping systems in Kahuta areas. But the soil AP and DH activities were more pronounced under wheat-maize and wheat-mung bean cropping systems, respectively. We suggest that the inclusion of leguminous crops in cropping system is more suitable for arid areas, which tend to sustain soil fertility and preserve soil microbial biomass.

Abstract: Biosorption of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution did not improve by chemical modification of Crasstrotrea Gasar biomass with oxalic acid and ethanol. Unmodified Crasstrotrea Gasar biomass was proved to be very effective adsorbent for the removal of Pb (II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solution. As the particle sizes increases from 106-500μm, the percentage removed increases. The particle size of 500μm showed the highest removal. Also the percentage metal ions sorbed increases, as the dosage of the adsorbent increases from 0.2g to 1.0g and further increase of the adsorbent did not provide more increment in the percentage removal of the metal ions. The present study was found to be highly pH dependent process. The percentage removal of Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions was at maximal at pH 10. Since the Crasstrotrea Gasar biomass is cheap, abundantly available and environment friendly, so it can be used for metal ion removal from aqueous solution using a simple and cost effective treatment procedure.

Abstract:This paper deals with the distributions of organic compounds (PAHs and BTEX) and heavy metals  (Pb, Zn, Fe, Cd) concentrations in an oil impacted soils of Rivers State, Nigeria. The concentrations of organic compounds ranged from 597.340 ± 0.02- 896.784 ±  0.011 Mg/Kg, total PAHs; 0.030 ±  0.006 – 0.057 ±  0.003 Mg/Kg, BTEX and heavy metals ranged from 2.700 ±  0.002 – 3.960 ±  0.006 Mg/Kg, Pb; 0.460 ±  0.003 – 0.730 ±  0.007 Mg/Kg, Cd; 3.060 ±  0.003 – 3.92 ±  0.004 Mg/Kg, Zn and 92.040 ±  0.013 – 129.400 ±  0.031 Mg/Kg, Fe. Soil samples from Bonny had the highest total PAHs concentration (773.213 ±  0.004 – 896.784 ±  0.011 Mg/Kg). The BTEX concentrations were of smaller values due to the time of crude oil spillage. Total PAHs concentrations increases as depth of the soil increases and distributions of the heavy metals in the various depth has no regular pattern.
