Authors: Soria Caiza Diego
Published: December 2024

El artículo analiza la Pedagogía Waldorf como un enfoque curricular para la educación ambiental en Ecuador, con énfasis en la sensibilización de los estudiantes hacia el cuidado del páramo, un ecosistema clave para la región andina. Se plantea la importancia de adoptar una educación que trascienda la transmisión de información para fomentar valores y actitudes responsables hacia el medio ambiente a través de una revisión bibliográfica cualitativa, en la que se exploran los principios y prácticas de esta pedagogía, que combina aspectos cognitivos, emocionales y experienciales para promover una conexión profunda con la naturaleza.  Los resultados muestran que la Pedagogía Waldorf es compatible con objetivos de sostenibilidad y que posee la capacidad para integrar actividades artísticas, prácticas comunitarias y metodologías vivenciales en el currículo. No obstante, también se observan desafíos relacionados con la adaptación al marco curricular ecuatoriano y las limitaciones en su implementación debido a las diferencias culturales, religiosas y económicas. Se concluye que la Pedagogía Waldorf ofrece un modelo factible para la educación ambiental, pero su aplicación requiere ajustes curriculares y formación docente específica.

Authors: Hira Zahid  , Muhammad Sharif  , Azwa Munim  , Malik Asad Munir  , Batool Fatima  , Zahra Auqil
Published: December 2024

Background: Pediatric population in Pakistan is exposed to alarming consequences of burn injuries. Infants have a higher risk of fatality from burns than adolescents and adults. Merely few burn centers across the country are equipped with the resources and trained doctors/paramedical staff who can cater well to the neonatal and infant burn patients. We studied the frequency, etiology and risk factors of infant burn injuries to call attention and bring in public policy for its prevention and awareness among public. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery and Pediatric Burn Unit, Mayo Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan from September 2023 to August 2024. All patients being admitted with burn injuries who were 12 months old or younger were included in the study. A structured questionnaire was filled by the duty doctor after interviewing the parents/guardians. Results: Total 2638 children presented with burns. Out of 867 admissions 75 were infants with male predominance. Mean age was 9.4+3.4 months ranging from 11 days to 12 months. 62 were scalds, 12 flame burns and one electric burn. Mothers were primary caretakers in 89% cases and 97% mothers were house wives. 71% lived in nuclear families. 64 out of 75 were kitchen accidents. All families faced major disruption in natural gas supply in their homes. Majority accidents occurred in winters and 62.6% in January and February alone. Conclusion: Infant burns can be prevented by close surveillance, keeping infants away from kitchen, support system for mothers at home and keeping stove and hot items on shelves away from reach. Provision of hot running water and infrastructure for adequate power and gas supply along with awareness/prevention campaigns by government bodies are needed to save vulnerable infants from this adversity.

Measles is a highly infectious viral disease that can have serious health consequences. Accurate and early diagnosis is crucial. This study aims to enhance automated classification and early detection of this disease. To address the class imbalance, we augmented the dataset of normal images. Spatial features were extracted using convolutional neural networks, and traditional classifiers, including support vector machine, Random Forest, logistic regression, and k-nearest neighbors were applied to these features. Initial classification accuracy based solely on spatial features was as follows: Random Forest 63%, SVM 63%, KNN 60%, and Logistic Regression 63%. Through 10-fold cross-validation, mean accuracies were recorded as 65% for RF, 62% for SVM, 60% for KNN, and 61% for LR. Despite these initial results, the implementation of transfer learning led to significant improvements. By extracting probabilistic features from spatial features using RF and KNN models and concatenating these derived features, classification accuracy was substantially enhanced. The improved model achieved 99% accuracy for RF, SVM, and LR, with KNN reaching 98%. Cross-validation confirmed the robustness of the models, with a mean accuracy of approximately 98% and minimal standard deviations of 0.01. The findings demonstrate that combining transfer learning with traditional classifiers improves the efficiency and accuracy of lesion images. This approach shows significant potential for clinical applications.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, medical science has achieved significant advancements, yet nutrition remains a critical field with immense potential. Nutrition science, once underappreciated, gained recognition after global studies highlighted its vital role in combating health challenges. Today, with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) surpassing communicable diseases in prevalence, nutrition-based interventions are crucial. The global response includes initiatives by organizations like WHO, FAO, and UNICEF, which invest billions in programs such as food fortification and nutrition education. According to 2020 Joint Child Malnutrition Estimates, 149.2 million children under five were stunted, 45.4 million wasted, and 38.9 million overweight. COVID-19 exacerbated nutrition challenges, especially in South Asia, where awareness is limited. The pandemic underscored the link between nutrition and immunity, prompting renewed focus on dietary interventions. In Pakistan, malnutrition, stunting, and anemia remain prevalent. Our study examines the factors driving poor nutrition, focusing on the eating habits of children aged 3–16 in Peer-Mahil, District Toba Tek Singh, Punjab. Collaborating with NutriBites, we surveyed 500 children (255 boys, 245 girls) using anthropometric measurements, clinical assessments, questionnaires, and discussions. Data was analyzed via SPSS, revealing significant trends in dietary behaviors and nutritional deficiencies. This report highlights the urgent need for multidimensional public nutrition policies to address these issues and improve child health outcomes in Pakistan.

Published: December 2024

Este ensaio trata-se de uma observação in lócus feita por meio de um trabalho de campo em Bragança, no estado do Pará. A atividade de campo tem suas particularidades e buscou-se por meio de uma leitura sobre os povos amazônidas um estudo sobre suas paisagens e seus territórios, com foco principalmente no modo de vida dos marisqueiros e pescadores de Ajuruteua. A forma de fazer a pesquisa foi por descrição de campo orientada sobre as categorias do território e territorialidades. Os procedimentos se deram pelo uso da fotografia, da entrevista e de travessias com os catadores de caranguejos nos manguezais. O mundo dos sujeitos nos transparece litígios pelo território de posse dos locais de residências e de trabalho. A vila sob demanda de empreendimentos turísticos, com pessoas que lá não habitam, tornam-a um local dormitório, que se contrapõe a vila dos Pescadores que sem a infraestrutura, os moradores sobrevivem em palafitas, desprovidos de equipamentos básicos como postos de saúde. O conflito do território também é pelo espaço aquático, e as empresas de pescados disputam com pequenos jangadeiros, pescadores e marisqueiros os melhores locais de pescarias.

Published: December 2024

Os quintais onde muitos de nós cresceu sempre representou a base de subsistência de uma família numerosa, bem como de apoio, tanto na alimentação quanto no abrigo dos demais familiares e vizinhos, que juntos criavam mecanismos de sobrevivência em meio a pobreza extrema. Além disso apresentamos como as relações de gênero estavam estabelecidas naquele contexto. Junto com as memórias de cultivo de alimentos variados e brincadeiras de infância, o nosso quintal também guarda saberes sobre a luta do povo negro por alimentação desde o período da escravidão, revelando uma economia dos comuns (Laval e Dardot, 2015). Entretanto, esses conhecimentos não são ensinados na escola como parte da história e cultura afro-brasileira de acordo com a Lei 10.639/2003. A proposta deste trabalho é apontar os caminhos para que os quintais agroecológicos sejam, para além de meio de subsistência, ferramenta pedagógica, contribuindo para a descolonização dos corpos e das mentes de brancos e negros, e desconstruindo a inferiorização que nos é atribuída.

Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: The prime objective of this study is to examine the association between remittances and the socio-economic development of Pakistan spanning the period from 1991 to 2022.
Methodology: The examination applies a robust estimation strategy, including the unit root test of Augmented Dickey-Fuller, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag bound testing approach, and the Error Correction Model. To ensure the validity and reliability of the estimated results, diagnostic tests, including the White test for heteroscedasticity and the LM test for autocorrelation, are applied.
Findings: The findings of the study unveil compelling evidence of the statistically significant and positive impact of remittances on socio-economic development in Pakistan. Furthermore, foreign investments emerge as a significant contributor to development while inflation exhibits a significant albeit negative association with socioeconomic progress. On the contrary, foreign aid is found to have a negative but insignificant impact on the socio-economic development of Pakistan.
Conclusion: In response to the findings, this study recommends optimizing foreign investment policies to harness their positive impact. Simultaneously, a careful reevaluation of the role of foreign aid in the socio-economic development paradigm is directed.

Authors: Nadeem Arif , Siddiquee Saniya , Liaqat Naila
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: The current study aimed to determine the association between social networking addiction and self-esteem in Pakistani university students as there is a dearth of indigenous empirical literature on the issue.
Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was used in the current study. Using the stratified random sampling technique, 300 university students (i.e., BS & MS) were selected from a university in Faisalabad city, Pakistan. The Social Networking Addiction Scale (Shahnawaz & Rehman, 2020) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965) were used to assess the social networking addiction and self-esteem of university students respectively. The Pearson product-moment correlation and regression analysis were carried out using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v-23) for data analysis.
Findings: The findings of the study revealed a significant negative correlation (-.39**, p<.01) between social networking addiction and the self-esteem of the participants. Moreover, social networking addiction was found to be a significant predictor (p<.001) of lower levels of self-esteem in the participants.
Conclusion: The study concluded that the community should take some remedial measures targeting the excessive use of social media which is identified as a risk factor to develop low self-esteem in the youth.
Rhythm of Political Semiotics: Analyzing TikTok's Influence on Pakistan's Political Narratives
Authors: Sharif Mudassir , Ameen Maliha , Taj Inam Ullah
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: This study aimed to investigate the influence of TikTok (TT) reels on shaping political narratives for Pakistani political parties in the contemporary era of pervasive social media.
Methodology: Grounded in semiotics theory by Saussure, Peirce, and Barthes, the research conducted a meticulous semiotic analysis of TT reels from major political parties (PTI, PMLN, PPP). Purposive sampling of nine reels decodes explicit and implicit political messages through symbols, audio, and visuals. Additionally, Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis (CDA) and semi-structured interviews with fifty respondents offer nuanced insights.
Findings: The discourse analysis of semiotic-rich TikTok reels by Pakistani political parties (PTI's religious-nationalistic fusion, PMLN's emotive appeals, and PPP's governance showcases tailored to resonate with distinct audience sentiments) revealed strategic use of symbols to shape narratives and engage audiences, addressing research questions. While some viewers exhibit disinterest, others engage with specific narratives, highlighting the complexity of digital political communication.  Interview responses underscore the modest impact of TikTok reels on political perspectives, affirming the platform's function primarily as a communication tool rather than a decisive influencer of public opinion.
Conclusion: This study unveiled the dynamic synergy between social media and politics, offering pivotal insights into evolving political communication strategies. The call for expanded research, integrating audience reception analysis, and leveraging technological advancements, highlights the study's forward-looking perspective in navigating the evolving terrain of digital political communication.
