The agriculture it faces serious problems in terms of development since it is one of the most neglected sectors at present. Food security is expected to occur in areas that are highly dependent on the primary sector (agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries), so the growth of the agricultural sector is also the most effective means of reducing poverty and achieving food safety. In this respect, agriculture is also hampered by limitations in the distribution of its products, that is, there are no adequate marketing channels aimed at ensuring that farmers receive just enough for their crops and thereby generate true economic and social development. In recent decades, certain products such as sesame have been characterized by a high degree of intermediation in different states of the country, especially in marginalized or remote populations.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, in a survey done in 2009, 30% of university students admitted to feeling so depressed that it was difficult to function. University students in Middle Eastern countries are not an exception to Depression and other related symptoms, such as low mood and suicidal thoughts. Evidence reveals that university students show symptoms of Major Depression and Suicidal Ideation in most Middle Eastern Countries, such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iran, Turkey, and Pakistan. Major Depression, also known as unipolar or major depressive disorder, is characterized by a feeling of continuous sadness and dejection. Along with low mood, persistent thoughts of suicide are also a common symptom of Major Depression. In this paper, we explore the prevalence of Major Depression and Suicidal Ideation among university students in the Middle Eastern countries. Regardless of the major, higher education level or gender, we are looking to analyze the existing research available to determine the extent of Major Depression, Depressive Symptoms and Suicidal thoughts in students enrolled in Middle Eastern universities. The studies that will be included are published in peer-reviewed literature. It is also important to mention that we would only be considering research papers published in the English Language. In addition to that, we are inclined to review literature published only within the last two decades, from 1998 to 2018.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the salivary flow rate, buffering capacity, and resting pH in children undergoing chemotherapy with healthy children and their association with dental caries. Methods: A total of 100 children were included in the study, study group consisted of 50 pre and post-chemotherapy cases reported at Kidwai Institute of oncology Bangalore and control group consisted of 50 healthy children who visited the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive dentistry, V S dental college for a routine dental check-up. Ethical clearance and signed written informed consent were obtained from both the Institutional ethical committee and parents/guardians of the children. Salivary parameters like flow rate, buffering capacity and resting pH was measured using Saliva-check Buffer kit (GC Europe). Clinical assessment was carried out using DMFT and dmft index by WHO criteria 1997. Results: Salivary flow rate, buffering capacity and resting pH was lower in children post-chemotherapy when compared to that of children before chemotherapy and healthy children, the results were statistically significant. There was a positive correlation between salivary parameters and dental caries. Conclusion: In the present study reduced salivary flow rate, low buffering capacity and reduced resting pH has been observed in children undergoing chemotherapy, which could be the causative factors for the increased incidence of dental caries in these children.

This paper presents the authenticity of Islamic teachings about the modernism. No doubt, consumerism showed their rights to the consumers and for redress of their loss, legislation and special consumer courts were set up. In Western countries mostly, people think while in Eastern countries some people think that consumerism gave legal support to the consumers in the present era. But this paper presents some teachings of the Holy Quran and Hadith Sciences (that are basic sources in Islamic Shariah) regarding consumer protection. By analyzing these teachings of Islam, this shows that western consumerism is not new because Islamic teachings have provided us with plenty of commandments that protect consumers and encourage traders to involve in fair dealings. Besides many verses of Holy Quran, the names of two surahs are also given by such words that condemned the wrongdoings and wrong intentions for wealth i.e. ‘Sura Mutaffefeen’ and ‘sura Takathur’. In many verses of Holy Quran, it is forbidden to give less in weight or in measurement and Arabic word ‘Bakhs’ is used for forbidden which means shorten the quantity or quality than required. Similarly, six authentic books of hadith sciences also have Kitab al-Boyou (books of transactions) in which trade matters \ related to consumers and producers are commanded and negative issues that disturb business matters are forbidden.
