Jurisprudential and Legal Investigation of Effectiveness of the Muslim’s will on Using Bodily Organs of the Testator

Background: Human being is owned by God and is allowed to own him/herself and make a decision on his/her organs after demise, including the right of making will on using his/her organs in the case of death.Methods: This study is a review of Jurisprudential and legal investigation of the effectiveness of the Muslim’s will on using bodily organs of the testator in Iran. The findings that used, based on the studies were carried down in Iran and published in databases such as Google scholar, religious book and request for opinion emulation searching is done by using valid keywords.Results: This study concluded that using of organs of the deceased is acceptable for solving the problems of another live Muslim person. The legal department of the judiciary has declared also that organ donation is acceptable, but no organ may be sold since it is not included as a property.Conclusion: According to different religions and laws in the different countries similar studies are limited also in the Islamic countries, too. But there is disagreement on the studies in our country. There is a fundamental difference between the view of the proponents and that of the opponents of removing organs

A Review of Applicability of Banning (Hajre) in Jurisprudence from the Perspective of Forensic Medicine

The topic of ward is among the important topics in jurisprudence and Forensic Medicine. Banning literally means prohibiting. The term of prohibition means preventing someone from being involved in financial or non-financial affairs and is called being banned. A person is banned from all affairs such as an unlettered person or some of the affairs such as a dying person. Banning has two forms; it sometimes is in the interests of the one banned from and his/her rights and sometimes for the benefit and the right of others. The objective of this brief article is an evaluation of extent banning applicability in Forensic Medicine topics and its relation with concepts and logics of the Islamic law

Investigating the Underlying Psychiatric Disorders Leading to Suicide among Patients Hospitalized in Poisoning Center in Emam Reza Educational, Research and Treatment Center in Mashhad, 2015

Background: One of the most common causes of mortality in countries are drug induced suicide, the identification of underlying risk factors of which can play an important role in reducing its incidence as well as providing practical solutions.Methods: All poisoned patients referred to poisoning treatment center in Imam Reza hospital (MUMS) were studied in a descriptive cross-sectional study in 2015 and based on selection criteria and using a researcher- developed questionnaire. Moreover, results were analyzed using SPSS21 and Exactly Fisher test.Results: Among a total of 824 patients half of whom were men and the other half were women and with an average age of 27 years for men and 20 years for women, the most common underlying psychological factors in patients were holding under diploma, diploma, and above, impaired communication skills, depression, and Type B personality. Moreover, the most important types of impaired communication skills were poor stress and problem-solving management. Also, the drug-stimulant use was somehow associated with the same impaired inter-personal communications.Conclusion: Before providing the necessary and sufficient training to children who inevitably need time, chronological age, bitter and sweet experiences in their lives, it is essential to avoid entrusting heavy responsibilities on them

The quantitative ADAM questionnaire: a new tool in quantifying the severity of hypogonadism

Androgen deficiency is a pervasive problem in the older male population and is thought to be responsible for many symptoms once considered to be the result of normal aging. Numerous methods have been proposed to facilitate the detection of men at risk for androgen deficiency. In this article, we propose a novel screening tool, the quantitative Androgen Deficiency in the Aging Male (qADAM) questionnaire and report its successful use in quantifying the severity of androgen deficiency in a group of older men. Fifty-seven males scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer completed the qADAM as well as the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) and the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite hormonal/sexual (EPICh/EPICs) questionnaires. Thirty-four men also had serum testosterone levels measured for comparison. The qADAM showed statistically significant correlation to the SHIM (P=0.001), EPICh (P=0.016), EPICs (P=<0.001), and serum testosterone (P=0.046). The qADAM represents a viable alternative to existing questionnaires used to detect androgen deficiency and to assess response to treatment

Benchmarking the scientific output of industrial wastewater research in Arab world by utilizing bibliometric techniques

Rapid population growth, worsening of the climate, and severity of freshwater scarcity are global challenges. In Arab world countries, where water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, the recycling of industrial wastewater could improve the efficiency of freshwater use. The benchmarking of scientific output of industrial wastewater research in the Arab world is an initiative that could support in shaping up and improving future research activities. This study assesses the scientific output of industrial wastewater research in the Arab world. A total of 2032 documents related to industrial wastewater were retrieved from 152 journals indexed in the Scopus databases; this represents 3.6 % of the global research output. The h-index of the retrieved documents was 70. The total number of citations, at the time of data analysis, was 34,296 with an average citation of 16.88 per document. Egypt, with a total publications of 655 (32.2 %), was ranked the first among the Arab countries followed by Saudi Arabia 300 (14.7 %) and Tunisia 297 (14.6 %). Egypt also had the highest h-index, assumed with Saudi Arabia, the first place in collaboration with other countries. Seven hundred fifteen (35.2 %) documents with 66 countries in Arab/non-Arab country collaborations were identified. Arab researchers collaborated mostly with researchers from France 239 (11.7 %), followed by the USA 127 (6.2 %). The top active journal was Desalination 126 (6.2 %), and the most productive institution was the National Research Center, Egypt 169 (8.3 %), followed by the King Abdul-Aziz University, Saudi Arabia 75 (3.7 %). Environmental Science was the most prevalent field of interest 930 (45.8 %). Despite the promising indicators, there is a need to close the gap in research between the Arab world and the other nations. Optimizing the investments and developing regional experiences are key factors to promote the scientific research

Isothermal Permeability of the Argillaceous Cobourg Limestone

The paper presents the results of an experimental evaluation of the permeability of the heterogeneous argillaceous limestone from the Cobourg formation located in southern Ontario, Canada. The low permeability of the limestone necessitated the development of experimental techniques for effectively measuring the permeability of the rock. In particular, we examine the results of pressurization of a fluid-filled co-axial cylindrical cavity of finite length cored into a 150 mm diameter cylinder of the Cobourg Limestone. The orientation of the cavity is either normal to or along the nominal stratifications identified by the argillaceous partings separating the quartzitic phases. Both steady state and transient tests are used to estimate the permeability of the Cobourg Limestone. The paper also investigates the influence of a nominal axial load on the permeability of the rock
