This Food Atlas provides a photograph series of 68 meals commonly consumed by adolescent girls in Accra, Ghana. It consists of pictures of four portion sizes per meal, including weights. The main aim of this Food Atlas is to enable accurate portion-size estimation; during food consumption surveys, these images can be shown to respondents to aid them in describing the quantity of food consumed. The Food Atlas can also to aid in estimating, quantifying, educating, and counseling on appropriate portions of food in order to help improve dietary intake. The meals were chosen using data collected during a previous study conducted at the Department of Nutrition, NMIMR, “Dietary Patterns and Cardio-metabolic Risk in Urban Dwelling Adolescents” (IRB Study Number 001/17-18), aimed at understanding the eating patterns, physical activity levels and their association with measures of adiposity, blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar among adolescents between ages 10 and 17. All recipes were compiled with the aid of a professional caterer who had experience cooking for adolescents in a school setting.
The power of design to create a life worth living even in a refugee camp: designs, inventions, and artworks from the Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan.

An estimated 300,000 people have been detained or have died in prison since the Syrian uprising broke out. Syrians can be arrested for liking a post on Facebook or for the political activities of a distant relative. They are imprisoned without trial, and tortured and starved, often to death. This book is the first to expose the worst prisons in the Middle East, if not the world. In previous years it had been too dangerous to undertake research on this subject, but the enormous numbers of Syrians taking refuge in neighbouring countries and Europe has allowed unprecedented access to their stories. Based on interviews with both the victims and perpetrators, survivors' memoirs and notes, as well as leaked regime archives, leaked photos, and leaked intelligence files, the book is a testament of the internment and imprisonment system in Syria under the rule of the Assads, father and son (1970-2020). A harrowing account of the machinery of the Assad dynasty, Syrian Gulag is also an urgent exposé on Syria today.

Al-Nadwi memiliki akidah, dakwah dan risalah, sebagai seorang pengkritik terhadap peradaban Barat, sebagai seorang penyeru kepada kemuliaan Islam dan kepimpinan Muslim, sebagai seorang yang paling kuat menentang ideology dan materialisme Barat, sebagai penyeru terbesar kepada kedamaian manusia dan universalisme Islam. Beliau merupakan tokoh membangkitkan dan menimbulkan maruah dan harga diri umat Islam daripada merasa naïf di hadapan Barat. Malah al-Nadwi sering melaungkan bahawa Barat perlu belajar lebih banyak dari pada umat Islam. Beliau menggambarkan Barat sebagai: “Kamu mampu untuk terbang di udara seperti burung dan berenang di dalam lautan seperti ikan tetapi kamu tidak mampu berjalan di atas muka bumi ini seperti manusia.” Apabila orang yang berkuasa adalah manusia yang menyembah kebendaan dan mementingkan kelazatan yang dapat dirasa sahaja, tidak percaya selain dari perkara dalam kehidupan ini dan tidak pula mempercayai apa yang sebalik alam ini, maka kebendaan itulah yang membentuk tabiatnya dan mempengaruhi perasaan hatinya. Maka sempurnalah rintihan kemanusiaan yang akan diiringi oleh rintihan-rintihan lain yang lebih hebat lagi.
