Background: The street foods are distributed in all the countries of the world, representing a part of the culture and gastronomy of each country, they are ready for consumption and easily acquired. They are exposed to unfavorable conditions that lead to rapid deterioration and increased microbial load. The study consisted of microbiologically evaluating a street food outside the Universidad del Atlántico North Campus.Methods: A survey was applied to know the most consumed food in the university community. In addition, it structured a randomized 3x2 factorial arrangement, where two sampling points will analyze design: Black and Fritos Fritos Juanca, of which 3 samples of the same food were extracted for evaluation of their quality and microbiological safety. Results: Counting microorganisms yielded 16.67% of the samples contaminated by fecal coliforms with 25 CFU / g, total coliform count was present in 50% of the samples with 27.5 and 75.0 results between CFU/ g, whereas 100% of the samples had presence of aerobic mesophiles, and in the total of these there was no presence of sulfite-reducing spores and Staphylococcus aureus.Conclusion: Therefore, all quality control measures must be taken to reduce the growth of microorganisms and prevent food contamination through hygiene techniques, training in health education, basic principles of Good Manufacturing Practices and hygienic practices in food handling.

Managers or owners from 219 randomly selected food markets in Oregon were surveyed concerning their attitudes and practices on sanitation and safe food handling. Completed questionnaires were received from 49.8% of those surveyed. Inquiries were made relative to sanitation procedures used, knowledge of sanitation principles, and food protection and safety. Most indicated a concern for sanitation and felt that the employed procedures were effective. The survey indicated a lack of specific knowledge on basic principles of sanitation and food safety. Few respondents understood elementary principles of food contamination, temperature controls, personal hygiene and food protection. Most responses indicated a need for a training program in sanitation and safe food handling procedures for food retail employees at all levels.

Foodborne pathogens are affecting public health globally. Street foods being an important part in daily life of urban people are considered as a major source of foodborne pathogens. The major sources of street food contamination are water and the unhygienic condition of the vendors and food preparing places. This study was carried out to assess the load of antibiotic resistant enteric bacteria in the hands of street food vendors. A total of 20 street food vendors were selected from various locations in the Dhaka University campus and their hands were rinsed with 500 mL normal saline. Most of the samples contained high total viable counts, total coliforms count and total fecal coliforms count. A total of 25 selective colonies were identified as enteric bacteria including E. coli, Klebsiella spp. and Acinetobacter spp. by biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequencing. All these isolates showed high antibacterial resistance against Amoxacilin (64%) and most of them showed sensitivity against Ciprofloxacin (76%) and Azithromycin (72%). This study revealed that the hand hygiene of street vendors is very poor and may have serious implications for public health due to possible contamination of food. This study, therefore, suggests proper training and education of street food vendors in order to improve their knowledge of personal hygiene and sanitation.

كان من أهم الآثار الإيجابية للصحوة الإسلامية التى عمت العالم الإسلامى بشكل ملحوظ منذ أوائل السبعينيات فى القرن العشرين زيادة إقبال الشعوب الإسلامية على تعلم اللغة العربية، وبدأ الاهتمام الحقيقى لجامعات العالم الإسلامى بتوفير مساقات متخصصة لهذا الغرض منذ أوائل الثمانينات، وكانت الجامعة الإسلامية العالمية بماليزيا التى أسست سنة 1983 من أنشط الجامعات فى هذا الصدد، وهو نشاط استلفت نظر الباحث إذ وجده يستحق الرصد والتوثيق العلمى، والمراجعة إذا اقتضت الضرورة لا بهدف الإشادة بالتجربة بل رغبة فى الإفادة والاستفادة من قبل المختصين من المهتمين بهذا الميدان الحيوى من ميادين خدمة اللغة العربية بل خدمة الإسلام، وحضارته نظرا للارتباط الوثيق بين اللغة العربية وهذا الدين الحنيف باعتبارها لغة كتابه الخالد، والمعلم الرئيس من معالم الهوية الإسلامية المميزة والصمود الحضارى.*****************************************************One of the most positive effects of the Islamic awakening since the early seventies, in the twentieth century, which spread across the Islamic world in a significant manner, has been the increased Muslims’ interest in learning the Arabic language all over the world. There began a real interest in the universities of the Muslim world for the Arabic language by providing specialized courses for this purpose since the early eighties and  the International Islamic University Malaysia established in 1983 has been the most active university in this regard. And this activity of the university drew the interest of the researcher who found it worthy of investigation and scientific documentation as well as of revision, if necessary, not in order to pay tribute to the experience, but for taking advantage and learning from specialists interested in this vital field of the fields of Arabic language service which is actually service of Islam and its civilization considering the strong connection between Islam and the Arabic language, the language of the Qur’Én , the most distinctive feature of Islamic identity and resilience of Islamic civilization.

Social Consideration

There is a culture of disengagement from social consideration in engineering disciplines. This means that first year engineering students, who arrive planning to change the world through engineering, lose this passion as they progress through the engineering curriculum. The community driven technology innovation and investment program described in this paper is an attempt to reverse this trend by fusing community engagement with the normal engineering design process. This approach differs from existing project or trip based approaches – outreach – because the focus is on local communities with which the university team forms a long-term partnership through weekly in-person meetings and community driven problem statements – engagement.
