Developing And Developed Countries

Organophosphate poisoning is a continued menace associated with high morbidity and mortality in both resource-crunched developing and developed countries. Cases have been described of deliberate self-poisoning which has higher mortality than accidental exposure. Fatal poisoning by accidental dermal absorption is rarely reported for monocrotophos. Authors detail fatal accidental monocrotophos poisoning in adult female by dermal exposure while sleeping. Pesticide was detected in post-mortem blood and skin by chromatography and spectroscopy. Extraction along with review of literature for monocrotophos poisoning is adjuncted in this study.

Predictive models of soil and plant processes should be of much benefit both in developing and developed countries. They can assist in enabling agronomic practices to be better adjusted for differences in conditions; in avoiding disasters that can accompany change in land use; in minimizing waste and environmental pollution, and in modifying and implementing legislation. These views are discussed in the light of recent advances. Particular attention is drawn to (i) the excellent relationships linking average national yields, nutrient uptakes, etc. to single factors such as average fertilizer application; (ii) equations for predicting the behaviour of added chemicals and water in soil that have been obtained by rigorous deduction from physical and chemical laws; (iii) the discovery of semi-empirical, but nevertheless widely applicable quantitative relations for key soil and plant processes, and (iv) the formulation and use of computer models for field situations. There is a pressing need to find ways of presenting the outcome of this work so that it can be more widely applied in practice.

The soaring housing prices in Malaysia is not a recent issue. It is a global phenomenon especially in developing and developed countries, driven by factors including land price, location, construction materials cost, demand, and speculation. This issue demands immediate attention as it affects the younger generation, most of whom could not afford to buy their own house. The government has taken many initiatives and introduced regulations to ensure that housing prices are within the affordable range. This article aims to introduce a housing price control element from the Shariah perspective, as an alternative solution for all parties involved in this issue. It adopts content analysis methodology on policy from Shariah approved sources.
