Abstract

Abstract— Innovation is an important activity to ensure the organization's sustainability which strongly depends on the supply chain policy of the system. In addition to generating profits to the organization, innovation should also be an act that can warrant well-being not only to the present generation's life, but to future generations as well and for Islam, including well-being in the hereafter. This means, innovation is not just an ordinary activity, but a responsibility to be implemented. Nevertheless, the approach of innovation between the west and Islam is different. Before an innovation could take place, it is important and worthy for an innovator to comprehend the worldview of both civilizations as there are ethical boundaries that separate the objectives, ways, and direction of an innovation. This article discusses perspective of innovation from both Islamic and western worldview and its relationship with innovation in narrative methodology.

Abstract

Every plant available in the universe is not produced to be the part of biodiversity, but is also produced to obtain medicinal purposes. The medicinal value of the plant is due to the availability of various chemical compounds [1]. Since prehistoric time, the crude extract of plant is used to cure various diseases, although the biologically active components of the plant were unidentified [2]. In the present study the antibacterial activity is performed for various extracts of cerastium glomeratum. The plant cerastium glomeratum was collected from near kalpani river Mardan, Pakistan and was identified by lecturer Israr department of botany GPGC Mardan, Pakistan. The plant was dried under shade and grinded into powder form. The extraction process was done by using soxhlet apparatus, reflux condenser and maceration process using ethanol as a solvent. The extract was divided into different fractions of n-hexane, DCM, ethyl acetate and water. These four extracts were tested against gram positive (staphylococcus aureus) and gram negative (E.coli) bacteria using well diffusion technique. The water extract show a wide range inhibition zone against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria while n-hexane, DCM and ethyl acetate fractions show no zone of inhibition against bacteria. In effort to find new antibacterial compounds cerastium glomeratum seems to be a good plant for additional phytochemical studies.

Abstract

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a recurring mental health condition that causes individuals to experience alternating episodes of mania and depression. This research explores the prevalence and contributing risk factors for BD among young adults in District Dera Ismail Khan, with a focus on socio-demographic factors such as age, gender, educational background, and employment status. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) to screen for BD among 339 participants, aged 17–37 years. Participants were asked questions on their age, gender, educational background, and employment status. Results: Results showed that 34.8% of participants screened positive for BD, with a higher prevalence in females (35.8%) compared to males (33.1%). A higher BD prevalence was also observed among older participants and those with advanced education. Additionally, unemployed individuals showed a greater prevalence of BD (37.1%) than employed individuals (23.2%). Conclusion: The findings demonstrate a significant prevalence of BD in District Dera Ismail Khan, particularly among females, young adults, individuals with higher education, and the unemployed. Mental health interventions tailored to these groups may help improve outcomes in this region
