Abstract	Background: Muslim women commonly observe certain religious practices during their maternity journey and research in this area suggests that more could be done from a service provision perspective to support Muslim women in the UK through this significant life event. Aim: This study identifies Muslim women's religious practices during maternity, needs and challenges of religious practice while engaging with maternity services, and support needs from healthcare professionals. Method: Qualitative mixed method study; that includes eight longitudinal interviews with first-time pregnant Muslim women, five focus groups with 23 Muslim mothers experiencing childbirth in last three years in UK, and 12 one-to-one interviews with Health care Professionals (HCPs) with previous experience working with Minority Ethnic groups. Participants recruited from local Muslim community groups and Maternity Care Provider, North West Coast, England. Data analysed using thematic analysis. Result: Qualitative findings indicate common religious practices that Muslim women exercise at different stages of their maternity journey. These practices can be divided into two categories of common religious practices for Muslim women that 1) require only healthcare professionals' awareness of these practices and 2) require awareness and active involvement of healthcare professionals. Findings highlight key recommendations for healthcare professionals when addressing Muslim women's religious needs in the UK. Discussion/conclusion: This study provides evidence-based recommendations for professional practice to assist healthcare professionals in developing understanding and addressing Muslim women's religious practice needs in the UK. Further research is required to explore the impact of these recommendations for professional practice.

Abstract	Polyuria is an early sign of diabetic nephropathy (DN) that produces dehydration in diabetic patients. This could be caused by alteration of renal aquaporin 2 (AQP2) expression. This study aimed to describe the relation between autophagy modulation via intermittent fasting (IF) and renal AQP2 expression and polyuria in case of DN. We divided the rats into control, DN and IF groups. After 2 and 4 weeks of diabetes induction, blood glucose (BG), serum creatinine (Scr), urine volume, and 24 hours urine protein (UP) were examined. Diabetic nephropathy histopathological index (DNHI) was calculated to evaluate histopathological changes. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR were performed to measure the levels of AQP2 and the autophagy marker; LC3 in kidney tissue. DNHI was correlated to the PCR and immunoexpression of AQP2 and LC3. Intermittent fasting significantly decreased the BG, Scr, urine volume, 24 hours UP, and DNHI as compared diabetes. Diabetes significantly elevated the immunoreactivity and mRNA expression levels of AQP2 and LC3 as compared to the control. However, the IF decreased AQP2 and stimulated autophagy in cyclic fashion. Our data revealed significant positive correlations between AQP2 and LC3 at the level of immunoexpression and mRNA at 2nd weeks. Taken together, these data showed that autophagy stimulation didn't regulate AQP2 expression in case of diabetic nephropathy, however IF decreased polyuria through improvement of glycemic state.

Abstract	Abstract Introduction Social prescribing has become an important feature of the UK primary care offer. However, there remains limited evidence on how best to implement and deliver social prescribing programmes to maximise effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Aim To explore social prescribing practices and experience of implementing social prescribing programmes across National Institute for Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) Collaborative Leadership for Applied Health and Care Research (CLAHRC) North West Coast (NWC) and NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) NWC region to identify key learning points that can be applied to other settings. Method We held a learning exchange workshop attended by practitioners and Public Advisors who had been involved in implementing and evaluating eight different social prescribing programmes with the support of NIHR CLAHRC NWC. We followed this with an online survey of social prescribing practice and priorities within the NIHR ARC NWC area. We used the findings from the workshop and survey to develop an initial model of the elements needed to successfully implement and sustain a working social prescribing programme. Findings We identified three core essential elements for a successful social prescribing programme: a personalised approach; meaningful service-user and community involvement; and whole systems working. These core elements need to be supported with adequate resources in the form of continuity of funding and adequate community resources to refer people to, capacity building and appropriate evaluation. Conclusion We were able to use a learning exchange workshop to both facilitate learning between practitioners and begin the process of identifying the ingredients needed for a successful social prescribing programme, which may be built on with further research.

Abstract	Abstract Introduction People from Minority Ethnic backgrounds living in the UK are at greater risk of not only contracting COVID-19, but also experiencing serious consequences of the virus. These emerging health inequalities mirror those already evident in UK society. Aim The aim of this study was to understand how COVID-19 and the associated imposed restrictions affected the lives of people from the Muslim community living in the North West of England. Method Twenty-five in-depth qualitative interviews and four focus groups (n = 22) explored individual experiences of COVID-19 and imposed restrictions. Data were analysed thematically. Findings The virus and associated imposed restrictions had negative impacts on the psychological wellbeing of participants, their families and the wider community. Worry and low mood were particular features of participant’s pandemic stories. Main concerns were those of contracting and transmitting the virus to others and employment-related difficulties. Low mood was particularly linked to the impact of restrictions on fundamental interactions embedded within cultural and religious practices. These practices are central to feelings of belonging and connectedness within the Muslim community. Religious beliefs were important in helping to mitigate psychological distress for some participants. Conclusion Psychological distress was associated with COVID-19 virus and impact of COVID-19 restrictions on livelihoods and fundamental human interactions. Better provision of culturally appropriate information, improving local channels of communication and practical support are important during times of pandemic when usual support systems may be disrupted.

Abstract	Abstract Introduction The evidence is now unequivocal that people from Black and Minority Ethnic Backgrounds (BAME) living in the UK are disproportionately affected by covid-19. There is growing evidence that the reasons for this difference are multi-factorial and need further exploration. Aim The aim of this study was to understand better, perceptions of risk and responses to covid-19 of members of the Muslim community living in the North West of England, and to understand the facilitators and barriers to adherence to restrictions and guidance measures. Method A total of 47 participants took part in 25 in-depth qualitative interviews and four focus groups (n=22) that explored perceptions of risk and responses to risk from covid-19. Data were analysed thematically. Findings Participants were aware of the mechanism of transmission of covid-19 and took steps to mitigate risk of transmission including, observing a range of hygiene practices and following social distancing guidance. Increased risk of covid-19 for BAME populations was explained largely in terms of exposure to the virus due to the types of employment people from BAME populations are employed in. Limitations both within the working environment and more generally in public spaces, was identified as problematic for effective social distancing. The closure of mosques sent out a strong message about the seriousness of the virus and religious teachings reinforced hygiene and social distancing guidelines. Conclusion Across society there are people that adhere to restrictions and guidelines and those that do not. Improving local information provision and communication pathways during times of the pandemic, could aid understanding of risk and promote adherence to social distancing restrictions.

Abstract	The nano-metal complexes are found to be more impregnable than their parent drugs, therefore this study was aimed to synthesize Ag-nanocomplex of paracetamol (Para) by novel biosynthesis method. Paracetamol Ag-nanocomplex with the formula [Ag(Para)₂(NO₃)₂] has been characterized and synthesized on the basis of elemental analysis, thermal (TGA), conductivity, ¹H, ¹³C NMR and electronic spectral studies. Verticillium wilt, caused by Verticillium dahliae is considered one of the most serious diseases in olives. The use of Ag-nanocomplex as antifungal with different concentration (25, 50, 100 and 150 mg/ml) led to significant reductions of forming colonies of Verticillium wilt pathogenic fungi, with efficiencies reaching to 79.4, 82.9 and 81.8%, respectively at (100 mg/ml) against “V. dahliae, Fusarium acuminatum and Alternaria brassicae” LD₅₀ was also evaluated, while no changes in physical activity were detected, so this research opens outlooks for more study of fungal biogenic nanoparticles, indicating their use for controlling an agricultural pests

Abstract	This study examines food safety awareness and practices among handlers in the food service sector at Riyadh City hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three hundred and fifteen (315) food service workers completed the entire questionnaire from five hospitals in Riyadh City between December 2020 and February 2021. The contributor's respondents' three-part questionnaire was divided according to general characteristics, food safety awareness, and food safety practices. The findings show that food handlers demonstrated good knowledge, techniques, and attitudes regarding maintaining food quality and ensuring food safety. Moreover, a significant positive correlation between food safety awareness and food safety practices was observed. Nevertheless, the correlation between the food handler's knowledge and safe food handling was negative. In general, our findings revealed the significance of education and the regular training of food service staff to improve learning and ensure better and safer food-handling practices, which could contribute to applying food safety practices in hospitals.

Abstract	Background: This review aimed to identify and synthesise evidence of Muslim women's experiences of maternity services in the UK. A systematic review and thematic synthesis of qualitative evidence, unrestricted by type of publication was conducted. Muslim women who had accessed maternity services in the UK, regardless of obstetric or medical history were included. Method: Databases were searched from 2001 to 2019 and screened for inclusion using pre-determined criteria. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Qualitative Research Checklist was used to assess study quality and findings were synthesised using thematic synthesis, as described by Thomas and Harden. Results: Six studies were included. The following five themes were identified: Islamic practices and Individualised care; Talk, Teach and Translate; Injustice, Inequity and Intolerance; If Allah wills; and, 'It's not all that bad'. Synthesis highlighted the significance of Islam in shaping many of the women's decision-making relating to antenatal screening and medication, which was contrasted with healthcare professionals' limited awareness of the importance of Islam for motherhood. The majority of women experienced poor maternity care which at times indicated stereotypical and discriminatory behaviour. Conclusions: Education for healthcare professionals is warranted, to enhance the quality and cultural competency in providing appropriate care that acknowledges and meets Muslim women's needs.
