"REFLECTIONS ON PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING THAT IS NECESSARY FOR THE ENTERING OR PERFORMANCE OF A CONTRACT"
Authors:   Bucharest Bar, Cristolovean Nicoleta Maria
Published: April 2022

Even in pandemic times everyday life involves the conclusion of contracts written on paper, which in turn involves the processing of personal data not only for the performance of the contracts to which a data subject is party, but also in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. In this regard Article 6 (1) (b) of the General Data Protection Regulation provides the legal basis that ensures the lawfulness of processing. This short article examines the limits of using this legal basis for personal data processing in the context of the controllers' obligations and the rights of the data subjects. The primary conclusion is that, although any contract can ensure the legality of personal data processing, not all personal data may be necessary for the performance of the contract, in which case another ground of processing must be used for the rest of the personal data processed, which in turn requires a thorough understanding of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 for an implementation of its provisions in their spirit and letter, the more so as an implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation limited to the preparation of documentation on the conformity of processing has no other effect than to turn it into a dead letter.
"THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC – AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE SOCIAL SOLIDARITY WITH THE ELDERLY"
Authors:   Petroleum - Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania, Mărgărițoiu Alina
Published: April 2022

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, some rights of aged people have been restricted or violated. Paradoxically, isolation at home, especially of the elderly, has been taken to mean solidarity as imposed by the authorities for the good of all members of society. Surprisingly, people have moved from showing solidarity out of fear of contagion to showing social solidarity by caring for the vulnerable, lonely and disadvantaged, such as the elderly. This paper illustrates some significant social projects for the elderly carried out during the pandemic as a living proof of the growing social solidarity towards the elderly and also of good practices that can be extended to more locations in our country.
"ETHICAL VIEW ON TEACHER-STUDENT RELATIONSHIP. A PANDEMIC APPROACH"
Authors:   Petroleum - Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania, Grigorescu Dragos , Volosevici Dana
Published: April 2022

The health crisis we are going through is very demanding on the relationship between students and teachers in terms of professional ethics. Many teachers had real difficulties in applying legal measures of social distancing, limiting students' access to classrooms (hybrid physical and online system, imposing hygiene measures, etc.), which together negatively affected the quality of the teacher-student relationship. The emotional and cognitive comfort that teachers must provide to students according to the codes of didactic ethics, the sense of belonging and relationship resulting from a class management aimed at stimulating team spirit became during the pandemic incompatible with health safety rules imposed by authority. In this context, we propose through this paper to debate the need to theoretically complete the future codes of ethics of the teaching profession with the concept of ethics of care. The authors believe that especially in extreme contexts, such as the Covid 19 pandemic, we need to bring to mind the foundations of human relationships based on the valorization of students by their teachers, and specific codes of ethics should be more explicit in dignity provisions. to all those involved in education.
India’s Role in the Emerging World Order
Authors: Kumar Dr. Ramesh
Published: April 2022

Almost all commentators agree that the world has changed dramatically in the last 25 years– the 25 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall signaled the end of the Cold War, the reunification of a tragically divided Europe, and the acceleration of a globalization process that can only be compared to the decades preceding the First World War in 1914. The post-World War II world order was mostly a western-oriented paradigm that has now grown outmoded in countless aspects. The current shifts provide India with a chance to help shape political and monetary institutions that are further relevant to changing geopolitical dynamics. The current international order was established in 1944-45, during the post-World War II period, to address the issues that the United States and its Western European partners faced.

आज भी यह विड़ंबना है कि जब कोई महिला अपना अधिकार मांगती है तो पुरूष को उस समय उसका अहं आहत होता नजर आता है। पुरूष अपने अधिकार को स्त्री पर पूर्णतः हावी रखता है। आज जो लड़ाई है वह अधिकारों की लड़ाई है। स्त्री को अपने अधिकारों के बारे में विस्तार से और मानसिक स्तर से सोचना चाहिए एवं अपनी सोच का दायरा भी विस्तृत करना चाहिए। आज स्त्री जात के अधिकारों की संसार में शांति व सुरक्षा जैसे मुद्दे पर डिबेट् करने की आवश्यकता है। जिस आजादी की जरूरत हमें खुद है ठीक वैसी ही जरूरत दूसरों को भी होती है और खासकर उस महिला को जिसने पूरी जिंदगी अपने पति और बच्चों को अपना पूरा जीवन समर्पित कर दिया। पूरी जिन्दगी कर्त्तव्य निभाने में लगा दी और अंत में यह भी भूल गई कि आखिर उसके कुछ अधिकार थे भी या नहीं। समय के बदलाव के साथ आज स्त्री को परिवार ने कमाने की पूरी आजादी है। लेकिन उसकी कमाई पर अधिकार परिवार वालों को होता है। वह महिला अपने द्वारा कमाई धन राशी को खर्च करने की हिम्मत नहीं रखती। अगर भूल से भी वह उस धन को खर्च कर दे तो घर में लड़ाई हो जाती हैं। लेकिन वह अपने जीने की राह से भटकती नहीं है। वह अपने अधिकार के लिए लड़ना सीख रही है।
Climate Change and Indian Agriculture
Authors: Sarkar Dr Trishna
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interconnection between climate and economics. This paper attempts to the reason why instead of complimenting each other, economic progress becomes contrary to the climate. Countries are geographical entities or the regions separated by imaginary lines of borders on the surface of the earth. Along with the topography a region is made up of weather, climate, altitude, and latitude and soil structure making each one of them unique. Existence of a species is essentially a story of adaptations and interdependence through thousands of years of coexistence. This interdependence is not just limited in-between living things like plants and animals but interdependence in-between living things with non-living things like seasons, weather pattern, climate etc. Eons before we humans coined the term globalization, the weather or climate was globalised. Topographically, regions may be unique but they are interconnected through winds, clouds etc. The monsoons of south Asia is a case in point. India is often described as an agriculture country where agriculture practice is monsoon dependent. But ‘monsoon adaptive’ is more appropriate than ‘monsoon-dependent’ because we people of India adapted with our given weather and climatic conditions of our subcontinent. Nevertheless this relationship has been disrupted. In last few decades we have been repeatedly ‘guided’ to rewrite the terms in-between us and our environment. We are ‘suggested’ to switchover our agricultural practices from weather dependent to fossil fuel driven -energy dependent in order to make it more ‘efficient’. In this era growth has become the mantra of development.With the advent of industrial revolution economies becomes more and more fossil-fuel driven energy dependent. In this process we burn billions of gallons of oil spewing billions of tons of Carbon dioxide and other green house gases in our atmosphere year after year. This causes global warming which leads to change in climate and erratic weather patterns. Indian agriculture, is coping with a double whammy. In one hand due to the high dependency on fossil fuels the agriculture sector is slipping under the mountains of debt and on other hand it find itself on the receiving end of the human induced climate change in form of erratic weather patterns including monsoons.

The Tripartite Structure of Speech Act
Authors: Zoulaikha Dr. ELBAH
Published: April 2022

The speech act theory, introduced by J. L. Austin in 1962, claims for a third level of language in use analysis which is analysing utterances as linguistic acts (i.e., speech acts). By focusing on the non-literal meaning that arises in language in use, a given speech act is contextualized within a tripartite structure of: utterance, intention (speaker), and purpose (hearer) which correspond respectively to: locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. This article attempts to trace this tripartite structure of speech act, with much focus on addressing potential gaps, then, calling for important refinements. This takes place as the main aim is of this paper is to call for a contextualization of language in use within a larger context of action, within which the illocutionary act is but a level of language action potential. In doing so, referring to some scholars’ contribution, especially that of van Dijk and Searle, is a necessary step to go through.

Published: April 2022

Abstract. This study investigated the spatiotemporal variabilities in nitrogen dioxide (NO2), formaldehyde (HCHO), ozone (O3), and light-absorbing aerosols within the Greater Tokyo Area, Japan, the most populous metropolitan area in the world. The analysis was based on total column, partial column, and in situ observations retrieved from multiple platforms and additional information obtained from reanalysis and box model simulations. This study mainly covers the 2013–2020 period, focusing on 2020, when air quality was influenced by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In 2020 overall, NO2 concentrations were reduced by about 10 % annually, with reductions exceeding 40 % in some areas during the pandemic state of emergency. Light-absorbing aerosol levels were also reduced for most of 2020, while smaller fluctuations in HCHO and O3 were observed. Moreover, the degree of weekly cycling of NO2, HCHO, and light-absorbing aerosol levels was significantly enhanced in urban areas during 2020. The latter changes were unprecedented in recent years and potentially related to coincident reduced mobility in Japan, which, in contrast to other countries, was anomalously low on weekends in 2020. This finding suggests that, despite the lack of strict legal restrictions in Japan, widespread adherence to recommendations designed to limit the spread of the pandemic caused modification of common habits, resulting in unique air quality changes.
Automated classification of seismic signals recorded on the Åknes rockslope, Western Norway, using a Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Langet Nadège , Silverberg Fred Marcus John
Published: April 2022

Abstract. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was implemented to automatically classify fifteen years of seismic signals recorded by an eight-geophone network installed around the backscarp of the Åknes rockslope in Norway. Eight event classes could be identified and are adapted from the typology proposed by Provost et al. (2018), of which five could be directly related to movements on the slope. Almost 60,000 events were classified automatically based on their spectrogram images. The performance of the classifier is estimated to be close to 80 %. The statistical analysis of the results shows a strong seasonality of the microseismic activity at Åknes with an annual increase in springtime when the snow melts and the temperature oscillates around the freezing point, mainly caused by events within classes of low-frequency slopequakes and tremors. The clear link between annual temperature variations and microseismic activity could be confirmed, supporting thawing and freezing processes as the origins. Other events such as high-frequency and successive slopequakes occur throughout the year and are potentially related to the steady creep of the sliding plane. The huge variability in the annual event number cannot be solely explained by average temperatures or varying detectability of the network. Groundwater recharge processes and their response to precipitation episodes are known to be a major factor of sliding at Åknes, but the relationship with microseismic activity is less obvious and could not be demonstrated.
Towards variance-conserving reconstructions of climate indices with Gaussian Process Regression in an embedding space
Authors: Klockmann Marlene , von Toussaint Udo , Zorita Eduardo
Published: April 2022

Abstract. We present a new framework for the reconstruction of climate indices based on proxy data such as tree rings. The framework is based on the supervised learning method Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) and designed to preserve the amplitude of past climate variability and to adequately handle noise-contaminated proxies and variable proxy availability in time. To this end, the GPR is performed in a modified input space, termed embedding space. We test the new framework for the reconstruction of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability (AMV) in a controlled environment with pseudoproxies derived from coupled climate-model simulations. In this test environment, the GPR outperforms benchmark reconstructions based on multi-linear Principle Component Regression. On AMV-relevant timescales, i.e., multi-decadal timescales, the GPR is able to reconstruct the true magnitude of variability even if the proxies contain a non-climatic noise signal and become sparser back in time. Thus, we conclude that the embedded GPR framework is a highly promising tool for climate-index reconstructions.
ICLASS 1.0: a variational Inverse modelling framework for the Chemistry Land-surface Atmosphere Soil Slab model: description, validation and application
Authors: Bosman Peter J. M. , Krol Maarten C.
Published: April 2022

Abstract. This paper provides a description of ICLASS 1.0: a variational Inverse modelling framework for the Chemistry Land-surface Atmosphere Soil Slab model. This framework can be used to study the atmospheric boundary layer, surface layer or the exchange of gases, moisture, heat and momentum between the land surface and the lower atmosphere. The general aim of the framework is to allow to assimilate various streams of observations (fluxes, mixing ratios at multiple heights, ...) to estimate model parameters, thereby obtaining a physical model that is consistent with a diverse set of observations. The framework allows to retrieve parameters in an objective manner, and enables to estimate information that is difficult to obtain directly by observations, for example free-tropospheric mixing ratios or stomatal conductances. Furthermore it allows to estimate possible biases in observations. Modelling the carbon cycle at ecosystem level is one of the main intended fields of application. The physical model around which the framework is constructed is relatively simple, yet contains the core physics to model the essentials of a well-mixed boundary layer and of land–atmosphere exchange. The model includes an explicit description of the atmospheric surface layer, a region where scalars show relatively large gradients with height. An important challenge is the strong non-linearity of the model, which complicates the estimation of best parameter values. The constructed adjoint of the tangent linear model can be used to mitigate this challenge. The adjoint allows for an analytical gradient of the objective cost function, used for minimisation of this function. An implemented Monte-Carlo way of running ICLASS can further help to handle non-linearity, and provides posterior statistics on the estimated parameters. The paper provides a technical description of the framework, includes a validation of the adjoint code, as well as tests for the full inverse modelling framework and a successful example application for a grassland in the Netherlands.

This article is an example of an interdisciplinary scientific field of geography of art, which
examines the links between landscape and architecture. The specific aim of the research is to review and evaluate the spatial and artistic expression of Modern Style (Art Nouveau) architecture objects in the cultural landscape of Lithuania. The analysis is based on data classification of scientific literature, cartographic works and on urban field research. One of the main results of the study is a map of distribution of Modern Style objects in Lithuania, which helps to identify Modern Style architecture areas in morphological regions of Lithuania landscape. The majority of Modern Style building is located in the central areas of Lithuanian cities due to development and specifics of territorial planning of the largest cities in Lithuania in the beginning of the 20th century. To evaluate the spatial expression of Modern style architecture is needed to do a wider research into the aesthetic quality of the landscape.

From Xerox to Zoom: Brazilian universities during the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Pait Heloisa
Published: April 2022

Transmission of knowledge in Brazilian universities has been largely shaped by a Xerox culture of rapid reproduction of text, one that sits suspended between the print book and the Internet. The 2020 coronavirus pandemic disrupted the use of established means of communication in Brazilian undergraduate classrooms and forced higher education institutions to confront their concepts of education. Many Brazilian public universities stopped classes altogether and only resumed them online by mid-2020 or even later in the year, after much deliberation. This research examines how university officials responded to the new demand to implement remote teaching in their institutional and communicative contexts. Analyzing the very rich public and official statements produced by a set of prestigious Brazilian universities, this research reveals the ways in which the quarantine both challenged and mobilized the deepest values of the country’s higher education institutions. The goal of this research is to understand how a rigid communication culture, in which the values and histories of the institutions are crystalized, made adaptation to new teaching conditions very difficult. It presents a fascinating case where knowledge, media and institutional culture intersect in a moment of crisis.

Role of Natural Resources and Eco-Innovations in Determination of the Environmental Quality of Pakistan: Evidence through Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Estimation
Authors: Hanif Sobia , Nawaz Muhammad Atif , Fazal Snober , Ibraheem Ruqayya
Published: April 2022

The present study estimates the impact of natural resources, eco-innovations and economic growth on CO2 emissions in Pakistan over 1990-2019 period. For empirical estimation, Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) and Granger Causality Analysis, Variance Decomposition Analysis and Impulse Response Function are applied after checking the stationarity properties and long run cointegration among the variables. According to the empirical findings, natural resources have significant positive impact, whereas eco-innovations have negative impact on CO2 emission in Pakistan. Bi-directional causal association is present between CO2 and eco-innovations, and CO2 and economic growth, but no causal association is present between natural resources and CO2 emission. In addition, Variance Decomposition Analysis and Impulse Response Function show the forecasted effects of natural resources, eco-innovations and economic growth on future CO2 emissions. The findings are robust to various policy recommendations. The study recommends the policymakers and the government to implement strict regulations to curb the over utilization of natural resources. Government should also start new businesses and research and development programs in collaboration with private sector to promote eco-friendly technologies that will help in mitigation of environmental pollution in Pakistan.

In spite of the success, achieved in the production of metal pipes, its further progress and improvement still remain a problematic issue due to the development of techniques and new technologies.For the manufacture of barrels and special pipes of military shooting weapons, belonging to the small serial production is considered advisable applying the technological process of heading which is staying out by relatively simple technology and a small number of used equipment.The experimental studies have shown that during hot heading, wearing and overheating processes are taking place of press mold elements. Especially in difficult conditions, a pipe mandrel works, when is heated up to 800-1200 Celsius in the middle of the specimen, after which it loses strength and sometimes under the action of tensile stress causes destruction. Based on this, the temperature factor has a great influence on the stability of the press mold; therefore, the use of a cooling system is of great importance. For this purpose, the press molds were designed and then manufactured in an aviation enterprise for heading of work piece with a diameter of 50 mm.The process was divided into two stages to simplify the heading regime. The shell is obtained in the first stage, and the pipe is made from this shell in the second stage. It's necessary that the work piece is being given the opportunity for radial expansion for the rational carrying out of the process of obtaining a shell, otherwise, the metal will begin to flow in the opposite direction of the punch and we will get reverse heading. To avoid this phenomenon, the specimen was given the shape of a polyhedral prism, for the purpose that the sectional area of the work piece would be less than the sectional area of the matrix.In this paper, based on the results of theoretical and experimental studies, press molds for industrial use have been worked out for the production of special pipes and pipe work pieces by the reverse heading method.In the work, the given design of the press form consists of a water cooling system, which protects the elements of the press mold from heating and, accordingly, significantly increases the duration of its work, which in turn gives a significant economic effect.

Social media has become an essential channel for increasing firm value. This study explores the impacts of social media operation (i.e., microblog and short video platforms) on firm value in the context of China. The research adopts the multi-stage propensity score matching (PSM) and differences-in-differences (DID) design, and the reseach results indicating that the operation of short video platforms for social media marketing can significantly increase firm value. However, the operation of microblogs for social media marketing insignificantly affects firm value. This means that the company’s operation of emerging social media platforms is of positive significance to firm value. Moreover, the conclusions of this study will guide the company's social media operations.
Perspective from 2021 Observations & Interventions in Micronutrient Research in Pune, India
Authors: Yajnik Chittaranjan S.
Published: April 2022

Exciting research has happened in Pune since the publication in 2011 of our review on the role of maternal micronutrients in intrauterine programming of non-communicable diseases. We have completed a preconceptional micronutrient intervention in adolescents with the aim of improving the health of their offspring. This randomized controlled trial was based on our findings in the Pune Maternal Nutrition Study, and is called the Pune Rural Intervention in Young Adolescents (PRIYA) study. Interventions included: (1) vitamin B12 alone; (2) vitamin B12 with multi-micronutrients and milk powder; and (3) placebo. The vitamin B12 dose was 2 μg/day, to make it relevant in terms of physiology and public health. All groups received iron and folic acid as per the Indian national policy. A total of 557 adolescents (17 years of age, 291 boys and 266 girls) were enrolled; those with very low vitamin B12 levels were excluded and treated. Participants were carefully followed up to record marriages and pregnancies, and deliveries were attended to study neonatal outcomes. Very few of the boys married; by contrast, 182 of the girls married and 149 of them delivered a live child during the trial.
Perspective from 2021 The Need for More Nuanced Policy Guidance
Authors: Klem Rolf
Published: April 2022

Since publishing the findings of our feasibility study on neonatal vitamin A supplementation (NVAS) in Bangladesh in 2014, new evidence confirms NVAS reduces infant mortality in South Asia in contexts where prevalence of maternal vitamin A (VA) deficiency and rates of early infant mortality are high, but not in contexts characterized by low prevalence of vitamin A deficiency and lower rates of infant mortality.1 Unfortunately, this new evidence has not led to policy recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO), nor to the implementation of NVAS in appropriate country contexts. Even in Bangladesh, where both NVAS efficacy and feasibility evidence is strong, NVAS has not been scaled up. Why?
Perspective from 2021 The Continuing Evolution of Food Fortification Innovations
Authors: Matthias Dipika
Published: April 2022

Innovation in food fortification for low- and middle-income countries needs a catalyst, despite a value proposition that is virtually unsurpassed in global health and development. While every dollar invested generates US$27 in economic returns from averted disease, improved earnings, and enhanced work productivity, the return is less clear for the private-sector implementors involved – namely, the micronutrient manufacturers, premix suppliers, millers, and retailers. Even more challenging is the return on investment for innovators developing new technologies or business models to enhance the effectiveness of fortification. To justify investment, they require committed private- or public-sector buyers, along with a strong enabling environment.

Perspective from 2021 Nutri’zaza: Stepping up the provision of sustainable, quality, fortified foods to vulnerable people

Published: April 2022

In Madagascar, where more than half of children under 2 years of age suffer from chronic malnutrition, finding sustainable, effective, local solutions is still a real challenge. One of the causes of this scourge is the insufficient quality of food for children aged 6–23 months. They often have no access – as a complement to breastfeeding – to sufficient quantities of quality foods that properly meet their nutritional needs, at a price that is affordable for their parents. A similar situation is also observed in the case of children over 2 years of age, who suffer from the lack of a diversified, balanced diet. This is especially reflected in their high consumption of carbohydrate foods and low consumption of micronutrient-rich complete foods. This trend is accentuated by the consumption of snacks that are not suited to their nutritional needs.

Let’s assume that you have been taken to a place you have never been before, and are not sure how you got there. The first thing you might do is look at a Google map , which may reveal several roads leading to the place, each with outlying intersections and roads from other towns. Different overlays may reveal varying terrain, weather or road conditions throughout the region leading to your destination. Now, imagine a health problem affecting a population at your destination, and the plexus of pathways (routes), biochemical networks (towns), function (traffic flow) and other influential conditions (terrain, road upkeep, weather, etc.) that may lead to the health problem, overlaid on the map. Omics technologies comprise sets of molecular mapping tools for each overlay that can help us understand and navigate to or from states of health, including nutriture. This breakthrough approach has become possible due to advances in the development and application of high-throughput technologies, which allow us to analyze large-scale biological data to form new molecular maps to health and disease.

With eight hundred million still living in extreme poverty and hunger, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were created with a vision of a world with less poverty, hunger and disease; improved survival prospects for mothers and children; greater primary education; equal opportunities and empowerment for women; and a healthier environment. While several countries have progressed towards achieving the MDGs, many interventions have nonetheless failed to improve the quality of life in a large number of the world’s countries (Figure 1). To be sure, despite enormous in-country and international efforts to achieve the first MDG of ending extreme poverty and hunger, an estimated 800 million people still face these challenges daily. One in seven children under the age of fi ve years is still underweight (i.e., they weigh less than 2 standard deviations of the population average for their age and sex), and one in four children worldwide, or approximately 161 million children, are still stunted (i.e., they are below 2 standard deviations in height for age and sex).
China’s BRI Globalization

Published: April 2022

The Chinese globalization does come naturally from the historical Silk Road which has a long history of 2000 years. The ancient Silk Road became famous again with Macau, the first point of globalization in the seventeenth century. At present, the BRI is essential to develop globalization since 2013 and was renamed the Belt and Road Initiative in 2017.The Greater Bay Area, called before 2017 the Pearl River Delta, was well known in the past with Canton, now Guangzhou. The global Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, continues to be important economically and financially. Macau (SAR), part of China since 1999, remains historically essential and its Casino Capitalism will continue to be important. It was the first gaming city of the world before 2012. China, the second economic power of the world, is really global in the 21st century, the BRI is essential for its success.Research, reading, and interviews on globalization are key elements to understand what is the present Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

在共享模式下研究消費者信任的影響因素及信任形成機制已有了一定的基礎，而對於商業平台模式的研究還只是借鑒以上的研究成果，尚缺乏實證的方式研究影響消費者對共享服務平台的信任關鍵因素及在情境下的信任形成機制。因此，本研究以出租民宿平台Airbnb為研究標的，並探討出租民宿平台Airbnb的平台品質、互動性回應、品牌知名度及視覺線索是否會影響顧客的知覺信任與安全風險，接著再透過知覺信任與安全風險之中介變數進一步探討顧客在出租民宿平台Airbnb的共享態度及購買意願。

為達上述之目的，本研究主要採用問卷調查法，以網路問卷進行資料蒐集，其總共回收460份問卷，有效問卷為447份作為研究假設之驗證，並採用結構方程式模式(SEM)驗證本研究所提出的研究假設，研究結果顯示平台品質對於知覺信任有顯著正面影響，且會透過知覺信任來影響顧客在出租民宿平台Airbnb的共享態度及購買意願，而視覺線索對於安全風險有顯著正面影響，且會透過安全風險來影響顧客在出租民宿平台Airbnb的共享態度。最後根據研究結果提供給出租民宿平台Airbnb與後續研究者作為實務與決策之參考。

Aim: To find the association of postmenopausal bleeding with endometrial carcinoma. Study design: Cross-sectional analytical study Place and duration of study: Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Sahiwal Teaching Hospital and Medical College, Sahiwal from 1st January 2019 to 31 December 2021. Methodology: One hundred women suffering from post-menopausal bleeding were enrolled. An endometrial biopsy was used for removing a piece of the tissue from the inner lining of the uterus and was conducted in suspicious women for confirming endometrial carcinoma by microscopic histopathological reporting.The frequency of endometrial carcinoma in post-menopausal women was analyzed. Results: The mean age was 56.2+0.5 years. The recurrent bleeding was observed in 7% cases and obesity was seen in 50 cases. Transvaginal ultrasonography was performed on women due to high suspicions. Out of the total 8 cases, 87.5% had a uterine thickness >5mm with no history of hormone replacement therapy. Incidence of endometrial carcinoma was 7% among postmenopausal women. Conclusion: Postmenopausal bleeding was commonly observed in obese women and in those who were on hormonal replacement therapy. Incidence of endometrial carcinoma was 7% in postmenopausal bleeding females. Keywords: Endometrial carcinoma; Women; Diagnosis; Developed countries

Published: April 2022

Background: The anthropometric obesity indices in this study included; body mass index, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, mid arm circumference and triceps skin fold thickness. Biochemical obesity indices included; serum high density lipoprotein (HDL), serum triglycerides and serum cholesterol. Aim: To find the correlation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels with anthropometric and biochemical obesity indices in apparently healthy male subjects. Methodology: This was an observational descriptive study. Study population included 60 healthy male subjects. They were between 30-50 years of age. All subjects were apparently healthy having no history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension or intake of antihypertensive or lipid/glucose lowering agents. Study data was gathered by a structured questionnaire after written informed consent. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure and venous blood sample was taken by the standard methods. Data interpretation was carried by SPSS-21. Results: Significant positive correlation of serum ALT was observed with waist circumference (rho=0.371; p=0.008*), mid arm circumference (rho=0.410; p=0.000*), triceps skin fold thickness (rho=0.360; p=0.011*), serum triglycerides (rho=0.493; p=0.005*) and serum HDL (rho=0.423; p=0.000*). Linear regression analysis was applied. Serum ALT was taken as the dependent variable whereas other covariates such as age , serum HDL, triglycerides, cholesterol, body mass index, waist circumference, waist to hip ratio, mid arm circumference and triceps skin triceps skin fold thickness were taken as the predictor variables. Correlation of the mid-arm circumference with serum ALT remained significant after controlling all the given co-variates (p=0.004*). Conclusion: There is significant positive correlation of serum ALT with anthropometric obesity parameters such as waist circumference, mid arm circumference and triceps skin fold thickness. Correlation of anthropometric indices with ALT can provide us with a convenient and an inexpensive tool for prediction of serum ALT levels.
