Abstract Rheumatic fever, rheumatic arthritis, acholuric jaundice were excluded in this case on the clinical and laboratory findings. The history, physical examination and the laboratory studies all supported the diagnosis of sickle cell anemia. This case presents certain points of interest. It is the first case of sickle cell anemia reported from Egypt. The disease was found in the patient and her father and excluded in the other members of the family. It is, however, possible that the paternal uncle had also suffered and died from the disease. The patient is a white girl and admixture of Negro blood was reasonably excluded through 6 ancestral generations. This case, therefore, adds to those already described in subjects of the white race from the Mediterranean area. It will be noticed that the patient’s family originates from Algeria, where 3 cases were diagnosed in natives by Smith19 on the basis of the anatomical changes observed in the spleen.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Childhood is a growth process both physical and psyche, then ideally the children should be protected from from various behaviors that interfere with the growth. Therefore, the children’s rights should be guaranteed such as getting health, education and play. Then, there are many factors causing the existence of child labor. And poverty case is mentioned as the main factor that led to the emergence of child labor. Moreover, the risk and the impact of children’s involvement in work, means everything that experienced and felt annoying up to harm their physical and psychological. Although the poverty is often used as a reason of the child labor, but all of it are seized the child’s rights. The child who works before their age will make weak next generation. It is not apropriate with <em>maqasid asy-Syari’ah</em><em> </em>concept, one of them keep the five things, including one of <em>d}haruriyyah</em> need that keep the child’s psyche. It is strenghtened by the quotation from the Qur’an. The impact of child labor in both short time and long time, of course it is so damage their both physical and psychological as stated in Q.S. an-Nisa’(4): 9. It becomes a base of why child labour is not allowed. It is as mental protection form which is a <em>d}haruriyyah</em><em> </em>need. Although the child labour can help the family economic for live, in other case child labour must be avoided considering the disadvantage is bigger than its advantage. Meanwhile, if it is in order to help parent and does not interfere both their mental and their physical then it is allowed.</p><p> </p>Keyword: <em>Child, child labour, maslahah/goodness</em>

A strategically important task of nursery in the modern realities of urban development, perspectivization and greening of landscape design of urban ecosystems, is the cultivation of high-quality planting material of ornamental crops in an optimally short time. Researches on improving seedling production technology have actual and practical importance in solving these problems. Scientifically-based measures, including optimization of soil conditions by applying vermicompost obtained from sewage sludge, buckwheat husk and ash using earthworms from the family Lumbricidae, in combination with buckwheat husk ash, as well as treatment with immunomodulating bioactive substances “Mival-agro”, “Gumi”, “Lignohumate”, allowed to increase plant survival, improve biometric indicators and obtain seedlings of the 1st commercial grade with the possibility of using them for special landings (solitaire, mixborder).

Thomas Neville George, later renowned as a Carboniferous stratigrapher and palaeontologist and also as a geomorphologist, was born in Morriston, Swansea, on 13 May 1904, being the elder of two children and the only son of Thomas Rupert George (1873-1933) and Elizabeth George (née Evans, 1875-1937). The family background on both sides was dominated by school teaching driven by a deep-seated moral belief in the ability of education to improve and enrich the lives of otherwise impoverished folk. His father, Thomas Rupert George, had attended the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth and originally came from Port Eynon. He became a school teacher and eventually headmaster in a Swansea school but much of his time was given to Socialist politics, particularly in organizing the local Trades and Labour Council, of which he was an honorary secretary. Neville’s mother, Elizabeth, was a school teacher from Swansea Training College and for a short time taught her son at his first primary school. She came from a chapel-going family, whereas his father did not, and Neville attended chapel sporadically until he was eight but not thereafter.

Dr. Schulman: The case we would like to discuss is one chosen for its own intrinsic interest and also because it provides a good opportunity to illustrate some of our newer knowledge of coagulation in general, and hemophilia in particular. The patient is a 4-year-old boy who was referred to this hospital for investigation of a hemorrhagic diathesis. His birth was normal and at the age of 7 days he was circumcised without difficulty. At 1 year of age he developed bleeding from a traumatic laceration of the left upper eyelid, which persisted for 5 days. At the age of 3 years he apparently fell and bit his tongue. This led to persistent bleeding for a period of 14 days, despite the administration of three transfusions. At 3 6/12 years of age, an upper central incisor became loose, resulting in bleeding for 3 days. At 4 years he suddenly developed a painful swelling of the right knee, which increased in severity for 5 days. Joint aspiration yielded 20 ml of blood. At no time did this boy have any other manifestations of bleeding. There had been no nose bleeds. The members of the family are indicated in Figure 1. This patient has two brothers who are unaffected and three sisters who are also unaffected. The mother and father are unaffected. However, the mother's paternal uncle had a severe hemorrhagic disease and, in addition the mother's sister has two sons who also have bleeding manifestations. The disease, then, apparently occurs only in males. It skips a generation and is apparently transmitted by females. This is the classic sex-linked, recessive inheritance which we have come to associate with hemophilia.

The main objective of the study is to assess the level of indebtedness and over-indebtedness of Russians. Despite the fact that according to official statistics, the level of household indebtedness in Russia is one of the lowest in the world, the percentage share of non-performing loans is higher than in the countries with a higher level of household indebtedness. During 2015—2017, every fourth of those who had an outstanding loan in Russia spent more than 30% of his or her income on paying back a loan. The reason is that in Russia, within retail lending consumer loans prevail over mortgages. Consumer loans are taken for a short time and at a high interest rate. As a result, debt service of relatively small loans creates a greater burden on the family budget for Russians than in Europe and the United States. In this context, the increase of retail lending can only be sustainable if banks change their business model and transit from short-term consumer credits to long-term loans secured by real estate or other assets.

Short Time

Old people held a central position in traditional Jewish-Oriental family and society. After immigration to Israel this changed within a very short time, as Israel's Western-style society is not based upon the authority of the elder generation. Often this change was accompanied by the development of negative attitudes toward the aged, appearing in many families as disrespect and even as physical neglect of parents. But in other families the traditional attitudes of honoring the elder generation were retained, although in them too the rise of the nuclear family led to loss of power and importance formerly held by the aged members. The changing attitudes within the family are reflected in discussions by disadvantaged soldiers of Oriental origin in classes for basic training in the Israeli army and by answers of fifth-grade children to questions on their relations with their grandparents.

Yellowing Virus

Squash vein yellowing virus (SqVYV), a recently described Ipomovirus sp. in the family Potyviridae, is the cause of viral watermelon vine decline, a devastating disease in Florida. SqVYV is known to be transmitted by the whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) B strain, but details of the transmission process have not previously been investigated. We completed a series of experiments to determine efficiency of transmission, effects of different acquisition and inoculation access periods, the length of time that whiteflies retained transmissible virus, and the minimum time needed to complete a cycle of acquisition and inoculation. Efficiency was low, with at least 30 whiteflies per plant needed for consistent transmission. Acquisition leading to later transmission peaked at 4 h, and inoculation access periods longer than 4 to 8 h led to no increase in infection rates. Whiteflies retained virus only a short time, with no transmission by 24 h after removal from infected plants. A minimum of 3 h was needed to complete a cycle of transmission under laboratory conditions. These results demonstrate semipersistent transmission of SqVYV and will help refine models of the epidemiology of this virus and the disease it causes.

Charles Dent was born in Burgos, Spain, on 25 August 1911. His paternal grandfather, who was a Church of England parson in Coverdale, a Cambridge M.A., and reputed to be a good Greek scholar, died under the age of 40. Charles’s father was Dr Frankland Dent, who studied chemistry in Leeds and, as was not unusual before World War I, went afterwards to Munich to acquire a Ph.D. He then joined the Rio Tinto Mining Company and worked in Spain, where he met his wife and married her in 1903. Charles’s mother was Carmen Colsa de Miray Perceval, who came from a well established Spanish family. She had been orphaned early in her life and was educated in a convent. She died in 1976 only a short time before Charles, in her hundredth year. Soon after his marriage, Dr Frankland Dent accepted a post in Singapore, which at that time was part of the Straits Settlement. Dr Frankland Dent was the government chemist and analyst, responsible for a territory which is now Malaysia and Singapore. The two eldest children were born in Singapore, but Charles’s mother decided to return to Spain for the birth of her third child. After about a year in Burgos, the family returned to Singapore and stayed there until the outbreak of war in 1914. Mrs Dent then decided to come to England with her children, but travelling across the Continent at that time was not easy, and the family spent some time near Marseilles before finally settling in Bedford in 1915, where Charles received his early education. He attended Bedford School for a few years where he did well at games, but showed no particular interest in academic subjects. This worried Charles’s father, and a change of school was considered desirable.
