Quraman Island is one of the Nile islands belonging to the Sohag Governorate in Upper Egypt. Quraman is an uninhabited island.
It is one of the most neglected areas in Upper Egypt for decades, as the island, like most of the Nile islands in Egypt, lacks the simplest
basic necessities of life, which has alienated the people of Sohag from its reconstruction. It has become like deserted islands, despite it
being otherwise. The island contains some government institutions and the employees of these institutions visit it daily. Also, some people
and traders use it as a natural pasture for cattle and sheep. Unfortunately, contraband smugglers and outlaws use it as a hideout away from
the eyes of the security services that have neglected the island for years. The sandy nature of the soil and the spread of forests and dense
weeds seem to have not encouraged officials to seek to develop this space They left it suffering without clean drinking water, proper sewage
and electricity networks, and, of course, without legal oversight and the control of the security services.
Environmental analysis
Solar photovoltaics:
This graph shows the total solar energy from daily
occurring short waves that reach the Earth's surface
over a wide area, taking into account seasonal
changes in day length, the height of the Sun above
the horizon, and the absorption of clouds and other
atmosphere.
Wind :
The prevailing winds in Sohag come from
the north throughout the year.
1) risomy 21
This is the most common form of Down syndrome and accounts for 95% of cases. It is
usually caused by an error in cell division called “nondisjunction.” Nondisjunction results in
an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two. Before or at
conception, a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg fails to separate. As
the embryo develops, the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body.
2) Mosaicism
Mosaicism is the least common form of Down syndrome and accounts for only about 1% of
all cases of Down syndrome. It is diagnosed when there is a mixture of two types of cells,
some containing the usual 46 chromosomes and some containing 47. Those cells with 47
chromosomes contain an extra chromosome 21. People with mosaic Down syndrome tend
to have fewer symptoms than those with trisomy 21.
3) Translocation
In translocation, which accounts for about 4% of cases of Down syndrome, the total number
of chromosomes in the cells remains 46; however, an additional full partial copy of
chromosome 21 attaches to another chromosome, usually chromosome 14. The presence of
the extra full or partial chromosome 21 causes the characteristics of Down syndrome.
Mental social development delays may mean that the child could have;
💠 Impressive behavior
💠 Poor judgment
💠 Short attention span
💠 Slow learning capabilities
There’s a wide variety of support and educational programs that can help both
people with the condition and their families.
The first years of life are a critical time in a child’s development. Children with Down
syndrome typically face delays in certain areas of development, so early intervention
is highly recommended. It can begin anytime after birth, but the sooner it starts, the
better. Early intervention is a systematic program of therapy, exercises, and activities
designed to address developmental delays that may be experienced by children with
Down syndrome or other disabilities. The most common early intervention services
for babies with Down syndrome are physical therapy, speech and language therapy,
and occupational therapy.
