A Husband Cut His Ailing Wife's Throat in 'Act of Love': First Reported Case in Sri Lanka

Introduction: Infliction of painless death in a patient suffering from severe pain or distress due to incurable terminal illness by another person called as mercy killing or euthanasia. If this happened in a hospital with the consent in a country, where euthanasia is legalized there is nothing to be discussed. Absence of deceased account related to the incident and the so-called history of “mercy killing” opens up much discussion. Case Report: A 63-year-old married woman was found dead with a cut injury from which bled a lot onto her bed in an early morning with a sharp knife at the scene. History revealed that she had sustained cervical spinal cord injury upon accidental fall around 5 months ago confining her to bed with quadriplegia and much pain. The pain and the hardships that she was facing were too distressing and were unbearable to the husband who loved the wife very much. The husband had planned himself to get suicide after killing his wife with the pure intention of ending of her suffering. As a result, husband slashed her neck with a sharp knife. There after he tried to commit suicide with cut throat and hanging but both methods were failed. At the autopsy, the clothes showed flashed blood on the upper part of the blouse. A deep, horizontally placed, incised neck injury was found on the front and right side of middle third of the neck. Death was opined as due to exsanguinous bleeding resulting from deep cut of the neck produced by a sharp weapon. Upon the medico-legal examination of the alleged husband with superficial cut injuries at the neck and head and a ligature mark, confessed that he killed her wife solely because of the incurable suffering. Conclusion: The important fact here to be considered is the intention of the alleged assailant i.e. actual case of mercy killing, or a malicious act or he was insane, depressed, etc. It needs psychological assessment of assailant by Forensic Psychiatrist. Among many other facts this case highlights the consid

STUDY OF PESO - PHO Y OF PESO - PHOTORESISTIVE CH ORESISTIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF TERISTICS OF TlInSe2 SINGLE CRYSTALS

Objective. The aim of the study is to establish the patterns and mechanisms of the effect of various impurities on the tensoresistive characteristics of TlInSe2 single crystals, as well as in solid solutions based on it. When studying the piezophotoresistive characteristics of TlInSe2 single crystals, it will determine the nature of the effect of uniaxial elastic deformation on the electrical, photoelectric and tensoresistive properties of TlInSe2 crystals. Methods. Crystals synthesized by fusing the components in accordance with stoichiometry in evacuated (~ 10-4 mm Hg) and sealed quartz ampoules were used for the study. Highly pure elements thallium (Tl - 000), indium (In - 000) and selenium (Se - high purity grade - 17 - 4) were used as initial components for the synthesis. Single crystals were grown by the improved Bridgman method, the crystallization front velocity varied from 0.5 to 0.9 mm / h. The samples required for the study were prepared by cleaving the grown single crystals from an ingot by the simplest indentation with a sharp knife, the blade thickness of which is ≤ 0.01 mm, along two mutually perpendicular planes of natural cleavage.

Exertion Perception When Performing Cutting Tasks in Poultry Slaughterhouses: Risk Assessment of Developing Musculoskeletal Disorders

Brazil is the leader in poultry meat exports, in which most products are in the form of cuts. This study analyzed the exertion perception of poultry slaughterhouses workers when performing cutting tasks, as well as the influence of knife sharpness on the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders by Occupational Repetitive Action (OCRA) method. Participants (n = 101) from three slaughterhouses were asked to rate their perceived exertion on the Borg scale during the cutting task when the knife was well and poorly sharpened. The OCRA results showed that the score for cutting with a dull knife was greater (43.57 ± 13.51) than with a sharp knife (23.79 ± 3.10) (p < 0.001). Consequently, there was a significant increase in the risk level of acquiring upper-limb work-related musculoskeletal disorders (UL-WMSD) by using a “poorly sharpened” knife (29%; p < 0.001; Borg scale 2–8). Thus, maintaining well-sharpened knives for optimal performance of the cutting task (fewer technical actions) is suggested, as well as including knife sharpening in the standard operating procedure to reduce musculoskeletal disorders.

PERADABAN ISLAM MASA KHALIFAH UMAR IBN AL-KHATHTHAB (13-23 H/634-644 M)

Abu Bakr appointed Umar ibn khaththab to be caliph to avoid divisions among Muslims. Umar was born in 513 A D into a family of the Quraish tribe. At first he was called by the title Abu Hafs, and after converting to Islam he received the title al-Faruq and was most persistent in defending Islam. This research examines how the Islamic civilization in Umar's era. The research was conducted by taking a literature study from the literature books. The results showed that Umar's leadership included the territory of the Arabian Peninsula.Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Persia, and Egypt. Umar formed departments (diwan) such as the police, baitul mal to manage state finances. Umar succeeded in restoring the stability of the Islamic government and even strengthening the country. Umar died of a sharp knife stabbed by Abu Lu'luah or Fairuz who was going to offer the dawn prayer at the Nabawi mosque.

GLOBALISASI DAN PERBUDAKAN MENURUT AL-QURAN (Analisis Tekstual dan Kontekstual)

Al-Quran al-karim is a book of samawi (God’s talk) which is the last book that Allah SWT has given to all muslims and it has a function as a guideline and an advice not only for arab people but also for all muslim people in the world. Al-Quran consists of all aspects about human’s life, in other hand it is suitable for all aspects on vertical and horizontal, and the relationship between human and nature is truly in the Al-Quran. Globalization is a challenge that we could not stay away, the center of information that gives a lot of advantages to all humans and also it becomes a sharp knife that could stab someone’s future especially to the students of Islamic boarding house where they face the challenge while they are living and studying Islamic education, Islamic classic books, learning to read Al-Quran. Enslavement is actually meant as public problems and it is related to the impact of globalization among us and it makes us to discuss more about this case. Hermeneutik has a role about this case to have function and to give an easy interpretation of verse of Al-Quran, it can make us easy to analyze verses what we are meaning, this study is actually around us from the past to complete all aspects in the Al-Quran, both the verses and the meanings.
