- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Though Muslims have been living in Nepal from the 15th century, they have started practicing
their religious activities freely only after enactment of new civil code in 1963. This paper aims to explore the potentials and problems on the existing mosques, perception of the religious structures by Muslim community and analysing of existing legal and institutional framework before drawing a conclusion. The research methodology consists of combination of field visit and collection of detailed information, structured questionnaire survey and consultation with local leaders and municipal staffs. Detailed analysis of ‘Jame Masjid’ in Kathmandu and another ‘Masjid’ at Trishuli Bazaar in Bidur reveals that these mosques have become the centre of practising Islamic culture, promoting brotherhood among Muslim communities, learning place of Islamic education, besides their sentimental attachment. Social harmony between Muslims and other religious communities together with coexistence of mosques and ‘madrasa’ with Hindu religious structures in the same vicinity has presented a unique situation. However, inadequate information, low level of awareness among the mosque visitors and above all lack of government’s specific plans and policies
have hampered the conservation and development of mosque architectural and Islamic culture. To reverse this trend,development of mosques as Islamic cultural and community development centre, incorporation of salient features ofIslamic culture into local planning and building codes as well as in school syllabus and networking with domestic and international organisations working for local development is suggested.- انتشار مقاله: 26-10-1392

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and oral cancer (OC) are preventable oral mucosal
diseases prevalent in Asian region. This epidemiological study aims to identify oral potentially malignant disorders
(OPMDs) and oral cancer (OC), confirm histopathologically, and treat or refer these cases among the population of
Eastern Development Region (EDR) of Nepal. It also attempts to assess the risk factors associated in order to compare
dose–response measurements of oral habits in these patients. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study was
conducted over a period of 2 years in 16 districts of EDR. A total of 3,200 people were screened. A brief history was
taken and visual screening examination was conducted in two phases as described by British Columbia Oral Cancer
Prevention Program. Suspicious oral lesions were biopsied either by punch or scalpel after toluidine blue staining.
Tissue specimen was transported to the institutional lab for histopathological processing. The reports were sent to the
patients through the local leaders or organizations. Results: More than 40% of the study population either chewed
areca nut and/or tobacco. Eighteen percent were smokers. OPMDs were prevalent among 468 study population with
male-female ratio of 3:1. Tobacco pouch keratosis (50.4%) was the most prevalent OPMD, followed by OSF (29.1%).
Fifty-two had squamous cell carcinoma and 8 had verrucous carcinoma. Conclusion: Chewing areca nut, tobacco,
commercial areca nut/tobacco preparation and smoking being the major risk factors, there is high prevalence of oral
cancer and OPMDs in the EDR of Nepal.- انتشار مقاله: 22-10-1396
