واقع أخلاقيات العمل الإعلامي في الوطن العربي
Authors: Hassan Elawad Dr. Saifeldin
Published: July 2022

تتناول هذه الدراسة واقع أخلاقيات العمل الإعلامي في الوطن العربي عموماً وفي السودان على وجه الخصوص، في ضوء علاقة ذلك بالقانون والحرية، والآراء الرافضة والمؤيدة لهذه العلاقة في ظل تكرار الدعوة لإقرار مواثيق الشرف الصحفي والإعلامي مع وجود قوانين خاصة بالإعلام والصحافة في الآونة الأخيرة رغم تناقص الحرية في بعض البلدان وانعدامها في بلدان أخرى، الأمر الذي جعل كثير من الصحفيين والإعلاميين والخبراء والأكاديميين في الوطن العربي يعتقدون أن الإعلام العربي بصورة عامة والصحافة على وجه الخصوص طبقًا لتقارير رسمية دولية صارت تحتل مرتبة متأخرة في ميزان الحرية مقارنة برصيفاتها في العالم، حيث تتضارب حيال قوانين الإعلام وأخلاقيات العمل الإعلامي مواقف الصحفيين والخبراء فمن قائل أن الأخلاقيات ليست الحل، ويجب على الحكومة ونقابات الإعلاميين أن تطبق القانون، وهناك من يقول أن سن القوانين مخالف للإعلان  العالمي لحقوق الانسان والمواثيق الدولية.

وتناقش الدراسة قضية الممارسة الإعلامية في اطار الفرق بين الالتزام الأخلاقي والإلزام القانوني،ومسألة فرض الأخلاق بالقانون، والعلاقة بين الأخلاق والقانون، وإنعكاسات ذلك على الممارسات الإعلامية في العالم العربي. وهدفتالورقةلمعالجة إشكاليةمدى مساهمة أخلاقيات العمل الإعلامي في صنع رسالة إعلامية عربية هادفة لخير الانسانية كبديل لتزييف الوعي الحاصل اليوم بفعل وسائل الإعلام الجديد لاسيما شبكات التواصل الاجتماعي، بجانبتعزيز منظومة القيم الأخلاقية والقوانين في تحقيق العمل الإعلامي النزيه والمسؤول الذي يحترم جمهوره، فضلاً عن قياسمستوىالوعيبمواثيق الشرف الإعلامية لدىالممارسين، ورصدمدىاعتماديتهمعلى أخلاقيات العمل الإعلامي في معالجة واستقاء معلوماتهمالإعلامية.

وعالجت الدراسة إشكالية البحث باعتمادها على المنهج الوصفي؛ وذلك باستخدام اداة الاستبيان، على عينة عمدية قوامها 155 فرداً من الصحفيين الممارسين والعاملين في أجهزة الإذاعة والتلفزيون والخبراء الإعلاميين، ومستخدمي الإعلام الجديد، لكشف الكثير من الحقائق والمعلومات الدقيقه عن علاقة قوانين الإعلام بأخلاقياتالإعلام في السودان كنموذج للدول العربية، وخلصت الدراسة إلى العديد من النتائج لعل من أبرزها أنه ما لم يحصل تغيير في الرؤية المعرفية والثقافية والسلوكية والاطار السياسي والحرية الإعلامية، والاطار القانوني والأخلاقي فلن يتطور الإعلام.وشدَّدت الدراسة على أن الاعلام المنشودلا يستقيم من غير توفير القوانين والتشريعات التى تكفل حرية الرأى والتعبير، مع ابتداع آليات لتفعيل منظومة القيم الأخلاقية في الممارسة الإعلامية، وبدور أكبر للمجلس القومي للصحافة والمطبوعات الصحفية، ولنقابة الصحفيين، ولمؤسسات المجتمع المدني كافة، لاسيما وأن غياب منظومة القيم الأخلاقية تتسبب في تعقيدات مما يجعل الصحافة العربية والإعلامالعربي عاجزعن اظهار الحقيقة كاملة غير منقوصة.

Objective: Aim of current study is to determine the prevalence of complication among patients with liver cirrhosis by serum sodium level. Study Design: Case-Control study Place and Duration: DHQ Hospital Faisalabad.June 2020-Dec 2020 Methods: There were one hundred and sixty patients of both sexes had liver disease cirrhosis with ages 18-75 were included. Age, gender, height and weight, BMI, and other medical conditions were collected after informed written permission was obtained from each participant. The blood sodium levels and severity of problems of 160 inpatients were evaluated. Child Pugh class was implemented. SPSS 24.0 version was used to analyze complete date. Results: In our study most of the cases 102 (63.8%) were males and 58 (36.2%) females. Age of the patients was 53.6±11.28 years and mean BMI was 25.4±8.31 kg/m2.HBV was the most common cause of liver disease found in 95 (59.8%) cases followed alcohol in 40 (25%) cases. Mean MELD score was 13.9±6.44. Most of the cases had child-pugh class C 80 (50%). We found that majority of the cases 79 (49.4%) had serum sodium level (>135meq/l) followed by hyponatraemia (<130meq/l)) in 42 (26.3%) and 39 (24.4%) patients had serum sodium level (131-135meq/l). We found ascites was the most common complication found in 132 (82.5%) patients with, followed by esophageal varix and hepatic encephalopathy. Severity of complications was significantly found in cases of hyponatraemia. Conclusion: As a result, we came to the conclusion that hyponatremia, particularly serum levels less than 130 mmol/L, might suggest the presence of serious problems associated with liver cirrhosis.

Objective: Patients with COVID-19 are being studied to assess the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and decreased glucose tolerance. Study Design: Cross-sectional study Place and Duration: THQ hospital Jaranwala, Punjab medical college Faisalabad. Dec 2020-Nov 2021 Methods: In this research, one hundred and sixty individuals, both males and females, who had coronavirus illness, were included. The ages of the patients varied from 20 to 75 years. Following the receipt of informed written consent, we gathered extensive demographic information on all of the enrolled patients, including their age, gender, BMI, educational achievement, and location of residence, as well as their medications. The blood of all of the patients was tested for corona disease using the RT-PCR method. The 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was performed after screening positive participants (fasting capillary glucose >100 mg/dl and 200 mg/dl) and each sixth consecutive negative subject (fasting capillary glucose 100 mg/dl) for a total of seven consecutive days. For the purpose of data analysis, the SPSS 24.0 programme was used. Results: Patients included in the study were on average 62.8±10.35 years old, with a BMI of 30.10±17.35kg/m2. More over half of the people in the study were male 100 (62.5%), while the other were 60 (37.5%) female. Patients were illiterate in the majority of cases. Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, chronic renal disease, and coronary artery disease were the most prevalent co-morbidities. Diabetes mellitus was found in 56.3 % of the individuals studied, with the vast majority of cases being pre-existing. Impaired glucose tolerance was seen in 40% of the instances in which pancreatic cancer was the most common. Intubation was used in 37 (23.1%) studied. There were a total of 22 (13.8 %) deaths in this study. Conclusion: Covid-19 was discovered to be more common in persons with diabetes and impaired glucose metabolism. Another sign of primary infection that was previously misunderstood has been connected to an abnormality in glucose metabolism. To get to the bottom of the disease's pathogenesis, researchers need to look into how SARS-CoV-2 impacts glucose metabolism. Keywords: Mortality, IGT, Covid-19, Co-morbidities , DM,

Published: July 2022

Background: Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD) are among the major causes of global morbidity, mortality and disability. P-selectin, being an adhesion molecule, is found in platelet granules and endothelial cells and plays a vital role in inter-platelet aggregation as well as migration of leukocytes into the vascular wall Objective: The objective of present study was to determine the level of sP Selectin in patients with CAD and compare it with healthy controls in Pakistani population. Moreover, association of CAD with p-selectin levels and other demographic variables were to BE assessed. Correlation of p-selectin levels and gender was also to be assessed. Materials and Methods: It is a cross sectional, analytical study including 60 CAD patients and 60 controls (with ages between 40-60 years, both genders). sP Selectin levels were determined by ELISA. Results: Mean P Selectin serum level in patients was 414.27±216.48 ng/ml with control group mean P Selectin level of 510.88±257.26 ng/ml. Mean P Selectin serum level in males was 438.215 ± 201.54 ng/ml with control group mean P Selectin level of 499.119 ± 290.02 ng/ml. Conclusions: sP Selection levels are higher in control group with a significant difference which can be due to use of antiplatelet drugs. CAD was positively associated with BMI, positive family history, smoking history and history of hypertension. Females had significantly higher p-selectin levels than males.

Material & Method: The study was conducted in FJMU/SGRH Lahore. 60 Married male in age range of 20-45 years were included in the study. Diabetic and hypertensive patients were excluded. The patients were divided randomly into 2 groups of 30 patients in each group. Patient in group A were advised to have sexual intercourse 3-4 times a week along with symptomatic treatment for 4 weeks. Patients in group B were advised not to have sexual activity or masturbation during the 4 weeks of study and given symptomatic treatment. alpha-blocker blocker were not used in either group. Informed consent was taken, ethical issues were taken into account. Telemedicine was utilized. Patients were instructed to pass the urine in a container, to record the stone expulsion day/week, number of pain attacks and number of analgesic injections required per week. Data regarding age, stone size, stone expulsion day/week and number of colicky attacks per week were recorded. Difference between two groups analyzed using chi-square test. P value less than 0.05 will be taken as significant. The patients whose symptoms worsened or who went into urosepsis were admitted on priority basis for ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Follow up done on weekly basis by history/examination, ultrasonography KUB, digital x-ray KUB and plain CT KUB. Results: Age range was 20-45 years in both groups. In group A stone size was 5-6.9 mm was in 14/30 patients (46.6%). 7-8.9 mm in 12/30 patients (40%) and 9-10 mm in 4/30 patients (13.3%). In group B stone size range 5-6.9 mm was in 13/30 patients (43.3%), 7-8.9 mm in 12/30 patients. (40%) in 9-10 mm in 5/30 patients (16.6%). In group A stone expulsion at the end of first two weeks was 76.6% and in 3 to 4th week it was 86.6%. in group B stone expulsion in first two weeks was 55% and 73.3% in 3rd to 4th week. In group A number of colicky attacks in first two weeks were 43.3% and in 3rd to 4th week were 23.3%. in group B number of colicky attacks in 1-2 weeks were 53.3 % and in 3 to 4 weeks were 30%. Conclusion: Married males, with distal ureteral stones (5-10mm), who practice sexual intercourse 3-4 times / week have increased stone expulsion and decreased frequency of ureteric colicks and the need for analgesia. Increased sexual activity has emerged as a new modality in MET, however further clinical trials are needed.

Background: Wart is a viral skin infection. Its etiological agent is human papilloma virus. It is composed of non-malignant proliferations of keratinocytes. Different regimens have been tried for the treatment of warts. 35% Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is used conventionally but 10% KOH has shown promising results. Objective: To compare the efficacy of topical 35% Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) versus topical 10% Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) in the treatment of palmoplantar warts in children up to 12 years of age. Methods: A total of 148 cases of palmoplantar warts with age between 3-12 years of either gender were enrolled in the study. These cases were divided into two groups (A and B each having 74 patients). The patients in group A were treated with topical 35% TCA and Group B patients were treated with topical 10% KOH. Patients were followed weekly for 8 weeks for treatment and for further 8 weeks to look for recurrence. Final outcome was seen at 16 weeks. The efficacy was labelled as yes in cases with clearance of all disease lesions. Results: In this study overall patients were 148 with 74 cases in each group. Group A had 36 (48.65%) males and group B had 37 (50%). The mean age in group A was 7.42±2.48 and in group B was 7.81±2.50 years. Group A had 44 (59.46%) cases and group B had 47 (63.51%) cases, with age range of 8-12 years. The efficacy in group A was seen in 28 (37.84%) of cases while in group B it was seen in 57 (77.03%) cases. There were significantly better results seen in group B as compared to group A in terms of efficacy with p= 0.0001. Conclusion: The efficacy of 10% KOH is significantly better than 35% TCA and this difference is again significantly better in terms of all the confounding variables i.e. age, site, size and duration of warts.

Objective: To find out the effects of remdesivir on the body weight of treated albino rats and its testes Study Design: Experimental Place & Duration of study: At the Anatomy Department of Baqai Medical University Karachi, from August 2021- February 2022 Material & Method: The research was undertaken to record the body weight and its testes in Albino Wistar rats treated by antiviral agent remdesivir. This drug is also recommended for the treatment of Covid-19. The albino rats were divided into 4 groups as A, B, C & D. In each group having 6 Albino Wistar rats. Group A was untreated i.e. control group while group B, C & D were treated by intraperitoneal injection with low, Intermediate and high doses of Remdesivir respectively for 10 consecutive days. A paired sample t-test was performed to determine changes in body weights before and after provision of drugs. The one-way ANOVA was conducted to compare the difference of body weight and relative weight of testes amongst all four groups. Results: The mean body weight of group A before giving any treatment was 173.10±3.42 g & after sterile saline injection intraperitoneally without the drug was 173.48±3.46 g & the difference between the two was insignificant. The mean body weight albino rats before giving any treatment to group B was 178.24±1.78 g, in group C was 174.33±2.49 g & in group D was 173.76±3.22 g. After treatment with intraperitoneal remdesivir with low, intermediate and high doses given to the rats, the mean body weight of group B, C & D was 179.88±1.87 g,177.17±2.41 g and 176.44±3.15 g respectively and the difference between the two means was highly significant (p=0.0001). The mean relative weight of tetes of rat in group A=0.713 ± 8.56 g, B=0.717 ± 15.83 g, C=0.716 ± 14.18 g and D=0.705 ± 4.15 g. There was no statistically significant difference found in the overall relative weight changes of testes amongst four groups (p=0.876). Conclusion: It has been concluded from this study that the mean body weight of animal treated with remdesivir increased significantly while weight of the testes did not affect significantly but in high dose the relative weight of testes decreases. In high dose this drug should be used cautiously as it can affect germ cells present in the testes. Keywords: Germ cells, Reproductive, Remdesivir, Saline, Intraperitoneal.

This study  aims  to  analyze  the  thoughts  of  Abdullah  Ahmed  an-Naim  related  of  constitutionalism,  human rights and citizenship based on justice in minority groups.  An-Naim’s thoughts on human  rights  can  be  accommodated  to  public  expectations  regarding  the  issue  of  the  Ahmadiyya  community  in  Indonesia.  Read an-Naim’s theory regarding women,  non-Muslim  status  and  apostasy. The issue of human rights initiated by an-Naim will be the basic foundation in the explicit explanation of this paper. Considering the existing social values based on the enforcement of human rights in Indonesia, the position of the Ahmadiyya community must be positioned equally in the law in terms of rights and obligations as  part  of  Indonesian citizens. The state must be neutral considering the Ahmadiyya community in responding to its religious existence.  The government must maintain neutrality in regulating religious life for every citizen in order to create an atmosphere of harmony and peace.

O currículo e a educação bilingue: considerações e possibilidades
Authors: Lima de Souza Melissa , Cavalcante Luciana Rocha
Published: July 2022

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo provocar reflexões acerca do conceito de currículo e suas implicações para e na educação bilingue. Revisitamos estudos sobre currículo em um panorama geral traçando uma linha histórica do tema. Após essa tomada de consciência apresentamos à educação bilingue no Brasil. Discorremos sobre o mito do monolinguismo em nosso país e então apresentamos os modelos de educação bilingue tanto para grupos minoritários quanto para grupos dominantes.

Melanoma is a malignant skin disease that kills roughly one million people per year, as per WHO records. The proposed work's major goal is to create and develop an enhanced deep neural network model that can evaluate, recognize, and predict cutaneous skin disease in its early stages with more accuracy, lowering the chance of death. The dataset, which was gathered from dermatologists and the public domain, contains roughly 3606 images of various types of skin lesions; some of the images were distorted. Gaussian and bilateral filters were used to decrease the noise in the images. After cleaning the data, the proposed six Convolutional layered Deep-CNN networks deployed to identify and predict skin cancer. The proposed CNN network was able to recognize skin diseases such Malignant Melanoma, Squamous cellcarcinoma, and Basal cellcarcinoma with an optimal error rate and good accuracy of 98.07 percent.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern for clinicians all over the world. It occurs due to careless consumption of antibiotics and not completing the prescribed regimen. In India, environmental factors such as pollution, lack of cleanliness and hygiene also exacerbate the problem. If efforts are not put into combating this threat it is predicted to have a devastating impact on the economy and will be a deterrent in achieving United Nation’s sustainable development goals. Regional and periodical characterization of microbial resistome is essential for timely treatment decisions by doctors and prevention of the spread of drug-resistant infections. However, obtaining AMR data from clinical infections requires ethical clearances, and may not even provide a complete and accurate spectrum of all relevant AMR genes (as microbiota of healthy persons may have different AMR genes). Since both domestic and industrial waste contributes to the spread and development of antimicrobial resistance, identification of multidrug-resistant strains in untreated sewage (that provides testing samples from mostly healthy population) for surveillance and prediction of AMR may be more reliable, ethically acceptable and economically feasible approach.

Published: July 2022

The cocoa crop (Theobroma cacao) is constantly affected by diseases that can considerably compromise its production, among them moniliasis (Moniliophthora roreri). The search for alternative control measures to reduce its presence in the field is imperative; therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of Euphorbia hirta extract on M. roreri, a cocoa pathogen. The study consisted of two phases: in vitro and in vivo in the field. The in vitro experiment was established under a completely randomized design with treatments using different concentrations of the extract (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, and 9%) to modify the culture medium and control (T0). Spore germination and mycelial growth of M. roreri were evaluated. The results revealed that milky extract (E. hirta) at a concentration of 9% v/v inhibited 100% of spore germination and 79.78% of mycelial growth. In the field trial, a completely randomized block design was used where three treatments were applied to the fruit (less than three months old) and a control: E. hirta extract with concentrations of 10% (T1) and 5% (T2), a chemical control based on copper oxide (T3) and the control (T0).

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality, carrying a 20% recurrence rate. The placental disease is a cardinal factor among FGR underlying processes. The examination of the placenta in utero as well as postpartum, gives valuable information about the state of the fetal well-being. Material and methods: 50 placental samples from normal pregnancy and 50 FGR placental samples were taken after taking informed consent form. Placenta was washed thoroughly under tap water and observed for any macroscopic pathology. Results: Total no. of villi and volume of intervillous space was 76.57 % and 12.56% in FGR. Dense collagen fibers within villous stroma and around the fetal blood capillaries, significance increase in the mean number of syncytial knots & mean number of collagen fibers was observed in FGR group, when compared with normal group. Conclusion: More number of syncytial knots, dense collagen fibres within villous stroma and area of collagen fiber was significantly more in FGR when compared to normal. Macroscopic and microscopic examination is an accurate way to understand FGR for better management. Placental microscopic changes reflect severity of FGR which has big role in fetal growth.

Authors: Yogesh Yogesh , Hansdah S. C.
Published: July 2022

Background: When it comes to fixing a common bile duct injury (CBDI), center and surgeon experience matter. There is a lack of information on the factors that influence morbidity in relation to repair time in this group. Methods: Patients with CBDI who had surgery at a single facility were retrospectively examined from January 2020 to June 2021. Patient outcomes were compared between those who had surgery soon after injury (before 48 hours) and those who waited longer. The likelihood of readmission was predicted for individuals undergoing delayed repair. Results: In all, 61 people underwent biliary reconstruction surgery. Patient demographics, damage categorization subtype, incidence of vasculobiliar injury (VBI), hospital length of stay, 30-day readmission rate, and 90-day death rate were not significantly different between the early repair and delayed repair groups.Delaying repairs in patients with VBI or those who have had several endoscopic operations before their repairs enhance their risk of readmission. Using these factors, a predictive model was built. Conclusion: The results for patients receiving early or delayed CBDI repair are comparable when the care is provided by a tertiary hepatopancreatobiliary facility.

Published: July 2022

Movies are one kind of enjoyment, however the challenge is locating the specified resources among the lots of movies discharged annually. To search out a show what users are seeking out through this technology is incredibly troublesome. However, recommendation structures return abundant handier in these things. Searching is the first step depending on which the movies are recommended to the user. To search a movie the user may use any of the parameter like name of the actor, director, genres etc. Searching based on one of the parameter and recommending movies based on the parameter is how the current recommendation system works. The movies are recommended with the help of filtering technique i,e collaborative filtering which recommends the movies based on user preference and ratings of the movies. This can be further enhanced by taking multiple parameters (2 in this case) for searching the movies based on which the recommendation can be done. With the help of multiple parameters (2 in this case) the user can be more specific in what he wants to search so that it helps in more accurate recommendations of the movies.
