Within Muslim community, mosque is place for congregation, a centre of excellence for knowledge, economic pursuit and community services, giving religious instruction and political discussions. Mosque plays a crucial role in various aspects of Muslim life. It has great potential to ensure that the welfare of nearby society is well-taken care. In order to achieve the said objective, mosques should have a strong financial performance. This study adopts a cross sectional data analysis to examine factor contributes to mosque financial performance. Subsequently, this study examines the effects of mosque financial performance on its quality of programme. Result of regression analysis revealed that good internal control and active involvement of mosque committees in fund raising activities enhance mosque financial performance. This study also discovered that strong financial performance facilitates the mosque to conduct more quality and quantity program. The finding should provide awareness to mosque committee member on the need to create an effective internal control strategy to improve financial performance. Next, mosque needs to recognize the importance of fundraising activity. Finally, all mosques need to invite committee members who have some financial institution background to discuss the management strategy for improving its financial performance and in turns it quantity and quality of programs outcome.
Se0.9In0.1 samples were prepared from their highly pure constituents, by ice‐water quenching from the melts. Structural characterization using XRD and DTA has revealed a stable phase consisting of some crystalline clusters embedded in a glassy matrix with a single glass transition (Tg) at a temperature 320 K, an onset exothermic crystallization peak at 361 K, and a melting endotherm with a melting point at 473 K. The dc (ohmic contact region) and ac (50 Hz–80 kHz) conductivities were measured under vacuum as a function of temperature (from T < Tg down to LN2) for massive samples, 0.3–0.6 mm thick. Results of the space‐charge‐limited current and the electrical characteristics of both dc and ac conduction are given and discussed in the light of the temperature dependence of the conduction mechanism.
The present work is a trial to compare effect of short and long term administrations of sucrose as a natural widely used sweetener, aspartame as a synthetic non-caloric sweetener and stevia as a novel natural non-caloric sweetener on rats' brain hippocampus. This was achieved using 64 male albino rats. Rats were divided into four groups. The first group served as control group receiving distilled water. The second group represented the sucrose group receiving 10% sucrose solution (weight /volume). The third group served as aspartame group receiving aspartame (75 mg/kg body weight /day).The fourth group represented the stevia group and received (40 mg/kg body weight/day).Animals received different experimental treatments by oral gavage and they were dissected after a short duration of 30 days and long experimental duration of 90 days. Histological investigation of hippocampal sections of hippocampus revealed neuronal degeneration with pyknotic nuclei, dilatation and congestion in blood vessels and spongiform changes in the neuropil after both sucrose and aspartame treatments. On the other hand, stevia treatment to rats showed near to normal pattern of the granular and the neuropil. Histochemical, stained sections of Bromophenol blue stain to hippocampal tissue recorded significant decrease in protein content in hippocampus in sucrose group and aspartame groups respectively after 90 days compared with stevia and control rats. Staining hippocampus tissue of rats treated with sucrose or aspartame with Congo red stain revealed cellular homogenous pink deposits of amyloid throughout the hippocampus tissue. This was decreased and observed as limited or few amyloid depositions in stevia group compared to controls. In conclusion, Stevia, a non-calorific sweetener, is a better alternative to the synthetic sweetener aspartame because stevia has the potential to assist individuals in regulating their weights without any recognized side effects on hippocampus tissue besides its health benefits as a natural antioxidant.
The effect of heat treatment on the structure and electrical resistivity of the amorphous alloys of the system Geg0SezTe8o--., where z = 15,30, and 60 is studied. Irreversible resistivity changes are observed after heating above the glass transition temperature, accompained by the appearance of the dendritic Te crystalline phase. The amount of the crystalline phase increases with increasing the annealing temperature. The effect of heat treatment on the structure transformation is investigated using DTA, X-ray, and scanning microscopy. The amorphous to crystalline transformation and its effect on the resistivity is discussed. Der EinfluB thermischer Behandlung auf die Struktur und den spezifischen Widerstand der amorphen Legierung Ge20Se,Te80-~ (mit z = 15, 30 und 50) wird untersucht. Eine nichtumkehrbare elektrische Widerstandsiinderung wird nach Erwiirmung iiber die Glastemperatur beobachtet, die von einer dendritischen Kristallphase von Te begleitet ist. Die Menge der Kristallphase nimmt mit der Erholungstemperatur zu. Der EinfluB der thermischen Behandlung auf die Strukturtransformation wird mit Hilfe der DTA, Rontgenstrahlung und Rastermikroskopie untersucht. Der Ubergang von der amorphen in die Kristallstruktur und sein EinfluB auf den spezifischen elektrischen Widerstand wird diskutiert.
