"Herr, vergib mir!" - Schuld und Vergebung im Christentum und Islam

Das Verhältnis zwischen Gott und Mensch wird sowohl im katholischen Christentum als auch im Islam durch das fehlerhafte Verhalten des Menschen beeinträchtigt und verletzt. Basierend auf das jeweilige Schuldverständnis wurde in beiden Religionen der Weg der (Wieder-) Versöhnung mit Gott theologisch aufbereitet und dargestellt. Diese Theologien führen auf ihre jeweils eigene Art wieder zu Gott und ermöglichen seine Freundschaft, was für den sündhaften Gläubigen Hoffnung und Zuversicht beinhaltet und seine existentielle Sorge um seine Seele nimmt. Auf diese Weise bietet der jeweilige Glaube sowohl dem Katholiken als auch dem Muslim seelsorgerlichen Halt und Trost und lässt ihn auf ein glückliches Ende hoffen

Comparison between Right and Left Hemisphere Lesion of Stroke Patients for Functional Gait Assessment

Objective: To compared the functional gait among left and right hemisphere lesion patients of stroke. Methods: This cross sectional comparative study included 126 patients with right and left sided hemispheric lesion. The study was conducted from December 2019 to March 2020. Patients were selected consecutively from different hospitals and rehabilitation centers of Lahore, Pakistan on the basis of inclusion & exclusion criteria. Functional gait assessment (FGA) scale was used to measure functional gait performance and disturbance related to balance in stroke patients. Independent sample t-test was used for comparison of functional gait between left and right hemispheric lesions. A p-value ≤ .05 was taken statistically significant. Results: A total of 126 patients of stroke with right and left sided hemisphere lesion were assessed for functional gait assessment. The mean age of patients in group A and B was 54.19±8.54 years and 51.46±8.57 years, respectively. The mean weight of patients in group A and B was 61.95±8.82 kg and 58.67±5.83 kg, respectively. Functional gait assessment mean score in group A was 12.56±2.60 and in group B was 15.59±4.17 points with p-value of 0.001. There was a significant difference of FGA scores present between the two groups. Conclusions: The study concluded that ambulatory functions differ with respect to site of hemisphere lesion. The site of hemisphere lesion impact on patient's functional gait has statistically significant

Unlocking the potential of de-oiled seeds of Citrus sinensis loaded with metal nanoparticles for Congo red degradation and removal: a green water treatment strategy with bibliometric analysis

This research reported the utilization of novel adsorbent from the de-oiled waste material of orange seeds for preparing simple charcoal (SC) and iron oxide/activated charcoal (Fe2O3/AC) nanocomposites. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the optimized conditions of the experiment. The results obtained indicated that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model best fitted the adsorption data (R2 > 0.99) and that the Freundlich isotherm model best explained the adsorption of dye on Fe2O3/AC. The adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic in the temperature range of 293–333°K, as explained by calculated thermodynamic parameters, e.g., ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results publicized that carboxyl and amine functional groups are present on the surface of adsorbents, which are responsible for the attachment of dye. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that Fe2O3/AC has a porous surface and textual structure, which can efficiently adsorb dye molecules. A zetasizer was utilized for determining the size of the composites, and the thermal stability was determined by performing a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The findings of the comparative experiment indicated that Fe2O3/AC are more promising than raw activated carbon for the adsorption of Congo red (CR). The impregnation of iron oxide nanocomposites on an adsorbent resulted in an increased surface area-to-volume ratio, magnetic properties, and excellent reusable capacity. Overall, it can be reported as an innovative procedure promoting the recycling of waste products, which aids in protecting environmental and human health and in the development of the economy

Effect of early tranexamic acid administration on mortality, hysterectomy, and other morbidities in women with post-partum haemorrhage (WOMAN): an international, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Background Post-partum haemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. Early administration of tranexamic acid reduces deaths due to bleeding in trauma patients. We aimed to assess the effects of early administration of tranexamic acid on death, hysterectomy, and other relevant outcomes in women with post-partum haemorrhage. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, we recruited women aged 16 years and older with a clinical diagnosis of post-partum haemorrhage after a vaginal birth or caesarean section from 193 hospitals in 21 countries. We randomly assigned women to receive either 1 g intravenous tranexamic acid or matching placebo in addition to usual care. If bleeding continued after 30 min, or stopped and restarted within 24 h of the first dose, a second dose of 1 g of tranexamic acid or placebo could be given. Patients were assigned by selection of a numbered treatment pack from a box containing eight numbered packs that were identical apart from the pack number. Participants, care givers, and those assessing outcomes were masked to allocation. We originally planned to enrol 15 000 women with a composite primary endpoint of death from all-causes or hysterectomy within 42 days of giving birth. However, during the trial it became apparent that the decision to conduct a hysterectomy was often made at the same time as randomisation. Although tranexamic acid could influence the risk of death in these cases, it could not affect the risk of hysterectomy. We therefore increased the sample size from 15 000 to 20 000 women in order to estimate the effect of tranexamic acid on the risk of death from post-partum haemorrhage. All analyses were done on an intention-to-treat basis. This trial is registered with ISRCTN76912190 (Dec 8, 2008); ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00872469; and PACTR201007000192283. Findings Between March, 2010, and April, 2016, 20 060 women were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive tranexamic acid (n=10 051) or placebo (n=10 009), of whom 10 036 and 9985, respectively, were included in the analysis. Death due to bleeding was significantly reduced in women given tranexamic acid (155 [1·5%] of 10 036 patients vs 191 [1·9%] of 9985 in the placebo group, risk ratio [RR] 0·81, 95% CI 0·65–1·00; p=0·045), especially in women given treatment within 3 h of giving birth (89 [1·2%] in the tranexamic acid group vs 127 [1·7%] in the placebo group, RR 0·69, 95% CI 0·52–0·91; p=0·008). All other causes of death did not differ significantly by group. Hysterectomy was not reduced with tranexamic acid (358 [3·6%] patients in the tranexamic acid group vs 351 [3·5%] in the placebo group, RR 1·02, 95% CI 0·88–1·07; p=0·84). The composite primary endpoint of death from all causes or hysterectomy was not reduced with tranexamic acid (534 [5·3%] deaths or hysterectomies in the tranexamic acid group vs 546 [5·5%] in the placebo group, RR 0·97, 95% CI 0·87-1·09; p=0·65). Adverse events (including thromboembolic events) did not differ significantly in the tranexamic acid versus placebo group. Interpretation Tranexamic acid reduces death due to bleeding in women with post-partum haemorrhage with no adverse effects. When used as a treatment for postpartum haemorrhage, tranexamic acid should be given as soon as possible after bleeding onset.

Irregular labelings of helm and sun graphs

A vertex irregular total k-labeling of a (p,q)-graph G=(V,E) is a labeling ϕ:V∪E→{1,2,…,k} such that the weights of the vertices wt(v)=ϕ(v)+∑uv∈Eϕ(uv) are different for all vertices. The total vertex irregularity strength tvs(G) is the minimum k for which G has a vertex irregular total k-labeling. The labeling ϕ is an edge irregular total k-labeling if for any two distinct edges e1=u1v1 and e2=u2v2, one has wt(e1)≠wt(e2) where wt(e1)=ϕ(u1)+ϕ(v1)+ϕ(u1v1). The total edge irregularity strength tes(G) is the minimum k for which G has an edge irregular total k-labeling. In this paper we determine tes(G) where G is the generalized helm and tvs(G) where G is the generalized sun graph

Degree-Distance Based Topological Indices of Crystal Cubic Carbon Structure

Chemical graph theory comprehends the basic properties of an atomic graph. The sub-atomic diagrams are the graphs that are comprised of particles called vertices and the covalent bond between them are called edges. The eccentricity ϵ u of vertex u in an associated graph G, is the separation among u and a vertex farthermost from u. In this article, we consider the precious stone structure of cubic carbon and registered Eccentric-connectivity index ξ ( G ) , Eccentric connectivity polynomial E C P ( G , x ) and Connective Eccentric index C ξ ( G ) of gem structure of cubic carbon for n-levels

On Acyclic Structures with Greatest First Gourava Invariant

Let ξ be a simple connected graph. The first Gourava index of graph ξ is defined as GO1ξ=∑μη∈Eξdμ+dη+dμdη, where dμ indicates the degree of vertex μ. In this paper, we will find the upper bound of GO1ξ for trees of given diameter, order, size, and pendent nodes, by using some graph transformations. We will find the extremal trees and also present an ordering of these trees having this index in decreasing order

Impact of perceived social support on psychological resilience: a comparison between medical and surgical postgraduate residents

Objective: To identify the predictable relationship and differences between perceived social support and psychological resilience among medical and surgical postgraduate residents. Method: The analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from July to September 2021 at Dr Ruth K.M. Pfau Civil Hospital, Karachi, and comprised postgraduate medical and surgical residents of either gender. Data was collected using validated self-administered questionnaires. Data was analysed using SPSS 22. Results: Of the 200 residents, 100(50%) were medical residents and 100(50%) were surgery residents. Besides, 161 (80.5%) were females and 39(19.5%) were males. The overall mean age was 27.57+2.13 years. Mean perceive social support score was 62.53+15.41 and mean score for psychological resilience was 70.40+13.73. Perceived social support was a significant predictor of resilience (p=0.0001). Medical residents scored significantly higher (p=0.034) on perceived social support compared to residents from surgery departments. Marital status, residency year, and birth order in the family significantly differed with reference to perceived social support and resilience (p<0.05). Conclusion: There was a favourable role of perceived social support in building resilience among postgraduate residents.

A Family of Optimal Eighth Order Iteration Functions for Multiple Roots and Its Dynamics

In this manuscript, we present a new general family of optimal iterative methods for finding multiple roots of nonlinear equations with known multiplicity using weight functions. An extensive convergence analysis is presented to verify the optimal eighth order convergence of the new family. Some special cases of the family are also presented which require only three functions and one derivative evaluation at each iteration to reach optimal eighth order convergence. A variety of numerical test functions along with some real-world problems such as beam designing model and Van der Waals’ equation of state are presented to ensure that the newly developed family efficiently competes with the other existing methods. The dynamical analysis of the proposed methods is also presented to validate the theoretical results by using graphical tools, termed as the basins of attraction
