Dr. Abdulmula Abdumagid Alhadi Hamza

تحصل الدكتور عبدالمولى عبدالمجيد حمزة على الدرجة الجامعية بكالوريوس علم الحيوان من كلية العلوم جامعة طرابلس في العام 1994، والتحق بالعمل كباحث في ادارة المحافظة على الطبيعة بالهيئة العامة للبيئة (وزارة البيئة حاليا) في العام 1997. والتحق ببرنامج الماجستير في علم الحيوان اثناء عمله وتحصل على درجة الماجستير في علم الحيوان العام 2004، وكانت دراسته عن بيئة بطنقدميات المياه العذبة في عين تاورغاء وقنواتها وتأثير الخواص الكيميائية والفيزيائية لمياه العين على تلك الانواع. في نفس العام التحق بجامعة ليدز بالمملكة المتحدة بمنحة من المجلس الثقافي البريطاني بطرابلس، وانجز درجة الماجستير Master of Research في التنوع البيولوجي والمحافظة على الطبيعة، وشملت دراسته هناك فصلين الاول معملي عن سلوك الجمود في اسماك الجوبي Poecilia reticulata بعد تعرضها للطيور المفترسة، ودراسة ميدانية عن تأثير نوعية القاع وتركيبته على نوع وحجم الاسماك في نهر الوارف ببريطانيا. وبعد عودته الى ليبيا ساهم في اطلاق العديد من البرامج الوطنية الخاصة بمسوحات الطيور المائية المهاجرة، والاعشاب البحرية وتوزيع فقمة البحر المتوسط بالسواحل الليبية، كما أسس البرنامج الليبي لحماية السلاحف البحرية https://www.facebook.com/LibSTP/ ، وصدرت له العديد من الاوراق العلمية والتقارير الفنية. وفي العام 2008 تحصل على منحة لدراسة الدكتوراة في جامعة هل البريطانية، حيث كانت رسالته للدرجة الدقيقة بعنوان Breeding ecology, migration and population genetics of lesser crested terns Thalasseus bengalensis emigrata وشملت دراسة تفصيلية لبيئة التكاثر وسلوك الهجرة وعلم الوراثة المجتمعي لطيور الخرشنة المتوجة الصغيرة التي تعشش بمناطق محددة من الساحل الليبي، ولا تتواجد في اي ساحل متوسطي اخر. في العام 2014 التحق الدكتور حمزة بكلية العلوم البحرية والبيئة بجامعة ترينغانو الماليزية، ليعمل كأستاذ مساعد في الجامعة ويدرس فيها مقررات عديدة مثل علم الفقاريات البحرية، وعلم البيئة البحرية، والتنوع البيولوجي البحري، وقضايا بيئية عالمية وغيرها، اشرف خلالها على 30 طالب بكالوريوس وساهم في الاشراف الاكاديمي على عدة طلاب دراسات عليا في الماجستير والدكتوراة. وعاد في 2021 الى سابق عمله بوزارة البيئة الى ان انتقل للعمل بقسم الاحياء بجامعة طرابلس استاذا لمواد التشريح المقارن للفقاريات وعلم الفقاريات.

Detection of the splicing defects(c.1845+11c>g), and common polymorphism (1773C>T) in exon 12 of LDL-R gene on chromosome 19 among some Heterozygous FH patients in Tripoli

Study discusses the genetic basis for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in some Libyan patients at Tripoli city, examining the distribution of variants that associated with mutations in exon 12 of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene on chromosome 19. Genetic analysis were done using polymerases chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) based on DNA technique, to detect splicing defects of the LDL-R gene in exon 12 on chromosome 19, among some Libyans patients probably have heterozygous familial hypercholesterol-emia (HeFH). The patient’svolunteer’s participants in this study were from Tajjora National Cardiac Center, Endocrine and Diabetic Hospital in Tripoli. The study showed the presence of the splicing defects (1845 +11 C>G)in the exon 12 of the LDL-R gene on chromosome 19 in patients with hyperchol-esterolemia and ischemic heart disease, as they have family history in hypercholesterolemia and other secondary causes to heart disease such as diabetic, hypertension, chest pain, and obesity. Frequency of HeFH Libyan patients was (0.86%), and the significant of statistical analysis were{p-value>0.05}, which considered high according to clinical diagnostic criteria for HeFH. As well as detection the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) (1773C>T) that alter the exon splicing efficiency, because it is associated with an emerging of the functional genetic variants for mutations in exon-12, where results of molecular diagnosis confirmed that occurrence the mutation of (LDL-R gene) relates to premature coronary artery diseases(P-CAD). arabic 35 English 137

Avian diversity study focusing on islands in Malaysia is generally scarce compared to the unsurprisingly wealth of information on mainland birds. Similarly, Pulau Bidong is one of these islands with scarce ornithological information. It is located to the northwest of Kuala Terengganu, East Coast Peninsular Malaysia. A series of field surveys were conducted on the island between August 2014 and August 2016, using both point counts and mist netting methods to assess the bird species diversity at coastal area and within the forest canopy of the island. Unpublished data from 2006 were also added as it covers the Bidong trail area. Our results indicate that the total count is 26 species, belonging to 18 families and 23 genera. This species list is not exhaustive because the survey did not cover the main migration season from October to February, when it coincides with the monsoon season and rough weather. Further surveys will be needed to cover the nearby small islands in the archipelago.

Malaria in Illegal Immigrants in Southern Libya

Background: Libya has been malaria-free since 1973. The risk of malaria re-introduction to Libya is increasing because of the increase in imported malaria cases due to immigration to Libya from countries where malaria is endemic. Cases are mainly due to P. falciparum and Sub-Saharan Africa is the most common origin. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of malaria positive cases among illegal immigrants in the southern region of Libya. Methods: A prospective, observational, multi-center study was conducted. Three hundred and three illegal immigrants from 12 different countries were included. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the presence of serum malaria antibodies. Results: A total of 303 immigrants were included in the study with mean age of 25.78±5.92 years. Of them, 195 tested positive for malaria antibodies. Two hundred and sixty nine of the participants came from Brak Al-Shati, 16 from Sebha and 18 from Bergan centers, with 175, 15 and 5 positive cases, respectively. Most of the positive cases (172) arrived in Libya within 1-10 months. The highest number of positive cases (70) came from Ghana followed by (40) from Niger and (39) from Bangladesh. Conclusions: Illegal immigration is a major malaria re-introduction route. The issue of illegal immigration have to be treated urgently to stop the huge influx of illegal immigrants and increase the surveillance activities of infectious diseases in order to keep Libyan territories as a malaria-free lands. Key words: Illegal immigration, Malaria, Libya.
