Purpose: Our studies turned into designed to assess the consequences of intravenous mannitol on intraocular pressure (IOP) in vitrectomized silicon-oil-stuffed eyes and to assessment those consequences with the ones received in non-vitrectomized eyes. Study Design: Prospective comparative case study Place and Duration: Ophthalmology department, Peshawar Medical College and affiliated hospitals, Peshawar for the duration from 1st Jan, 2022 to 30th June, 2022. Materials and Methods: All eyes with intraocular pressure lower than 38 mm Hg were considered. Group 1 had their vitreous removed and filled with silicon oil to reduce IOP, whereas Group 2 had their vitreous removed and their eyes were left open (Group 2). Mannitol (20 percent solution, 1 g/kg) was infused over the course of 30 minutes, and intraocular pressure was measured every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours, then again at the 3rd, 4th, and 6th hours post-administration. Results: In all, 36 eyes from each group were used. Group 1 had a decrease in mean (SD) IOP from 46.4 4.0 to 41.5 6.8 at 30 minutes, 38.5 ± 7.2 at 60 proceedings, 35.1 ± 7.5 at 90 records, 33.4 ± 9.3 at 2 hours, 31.8 ±9.5 at 3 hours, 30.8 ±10 at 4 hours, and 30.7 ± 9.9 at 6 hours, whereas group 2 saw a decrease in mean (SD) IOP from 46.9 5.4 IOP dropped significantly from baseline in all groups at all-time points up to 4 hours (P0.001). While both groups saw a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) after 4 and 6 hours of mannitol administration, there was no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Mannitol has been shown to dramatically lower IOP in both vitrectomized eyes with silicon fillings and non-vitrectomized eyes. Keywords: Mannitol, Intraocular pressure, Silicon-oil-filled eye, Vitrectomy

Published: January 2023

Background: The significance of vitamin D deficiency in the progress of menstrual disorders in women is a topic of great interest in studies. Several studies have found that taking an increased vitamin D supplement can help restore the menstrual cycle. Aim: To investigate the relationship between vitamin D and menstrual cycle irregularity. Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, serum vitamin D levels were measured in 150 outpatient women with menstrual disorders (n=75), compared to women with comparable profiles (n=75) with symptoms other than menstrual disorders compared. Results: A decreased level of vitamin D was associated with a 13.3 times odds of an irregular cycle (95% CI): p < 0.001). 25-hydroxy vitamin D was not associated with age or body mass index. We found a significant difference (p < 0.001) in mean vitamin D levels among the females with irregular cycles vs. regular cycles Practical implication:There is scarcity of literature on vitamin D and menstrual periods so current study assessed the relationship between vitamin D and menstrual cycle irregularity in womens. Conclusion: Lower 25(OH)D levels are linked to irregular menstrual cycles. Our findings indicate that vitamin D has an effect on the reproductive axis, which has wider scope for reproductive potential. Keywords: Menstrual disturbances, Ovulation, Vitamin D deficiency, polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Published: January 2023

We develop a new monthly indicator of supply bottlenecks using newspaper articles. The supply bottlenecks index (SBI) provides a consistent narrative of supply issues related to wars, natural disasters, strikes and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. Innovations in the SBI have important macroeconomic implications: an increase in the SBI functions as a cost-push shock, decreasing industrial production and employment, and pushing prices up, so that monetary policy faces important trade-offs.
Extent and Evaluation of Flash Flood Resilience in Mountainous Communities of Daral and Chail Valleys, District Swat, Pakistan
Authors: Khan Muhammad Barkat Ali , Atta-ur-Rahman
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to explore the extent and evaluation of flash flood resilience in mountainous communities of Daral and Chail valleys of Swat. After collecting data from primary and secondary sources, the parameters of Disaster Resilience Capacity (DRC) model was applied for data analysis. The analysis reveals that stream discharge increases during summer mainly because of the rapid melting of snow, ice, glaciers and monsoonal rains, which results in flash floods. The communities living in the mountainous areas of Daral and Chail valleys face problems of multitudes of socio-economic and infrastructural flash flood damages almost every year. However, limited communities have adopted indigenous resilience strategies to bounce back from the recurrent adverse impacts of flash floods. It was found from the analysis that due to indigenous resilience practices by the local communities and the location of most mountainous communities, Daral valley is more resilient to flash floods as compared to Chail valley. Contrary to this, the extent and level of flash flood resilience in Chail valley are low as most of the mountainous communities are more vulnerable to seasonal flash floods. Some wise practices can enhance resilience to flash floods, especially land use planning, community preparedness, afforestation, and improved accessibility and communications.

Published: January 2023

The extensive use of antibiotics has developed antibacterial resistance and also may cause toxic effects (hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity) on vital organs. To overcome this problem, Scientists gain attention towards medicinal plants. Pure Aloe vera (AV) is a common alternative antimicrobial medicine, hence, the current study was conducted to explore its antibacterial potential and compared it with a commonly used antibiotic amoxicillin. During this study, clinically positive mastitis milk samples (n=50) were collected from buffaloes, after microbial culture analysis. Various concentrations (C1=40, C2=20, C3=10, C4=5, C5=2.5, C6=1.25, C7= 0.62, C8=0.31, C9=0.15, C10=0.07 and C11=0.03µl) of pure AV and amoxicillin (μg/μl) were used to evaluate antibacterial activity through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Gram-positive organisms including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae. The MIC was evaluated based on turbidity and transparency of the medium. Prevalence of S. aureuswas recorded at 25 (50 %) whereas, 15 (30 %) positive samples for S. agalactiae and 10 (20 %) positive samples were found in mixed bacterial colonies from milk samples. The mean values of MIC at 10 μl of pure AV showed 50% sensitivity against S. aureus whereas, at 5 μl of pure AV showed 52.5 % sensitivity against S. agalactiae. While amoxicillin inhibited the growth of S. aureus and S. agalactiae at 2.5 μg/μl and 1.25 μg/μl concentrations showed 52.5 %, and 55 % sensitivity respectively. A significant (P ˂ 0.05) difference was noticed between both tested groups. It has been concluded that pure AV possessed antibacterial potential and can be used as a safe and economic alternative against infections caused by S. aureus and S. agalactiae.

Published: January 2023

Beetles are recognized as important bio-indicators of the ecosystem that can be used to determine species diversity, genetic diversity and ecosystem diversity. We investigated the species composition and diversity of beetles in four seasons along elevational gradients in Phulchowki hill from June 2018 to May 2019. Sampling was done using pitfall traps in five sites located at 1500 m, 1800 m, 2100 m, 2400 m and 2700 m altitude respectively. Overall, we documented 43 morphospecies under 37 genera and 12 families from the study area. Scarabaeidae was the most dominant family whereas Onthophagus sp.2 being the most abundant species in our study. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index, species richness and abundance were highest at 1500 m. Furthermore, diversity and species richness were highest in the spring, whereas peak beetle abundance was observed in summer. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to analyze the distribution patterns of the beetle families along the elevational gradients. PCA revealed a strong association of the Carabidae family with 1500 m, 1800 m and 2100 m altitude whereas the Scarabaeidae family were mostly associated with human-influenced areas such as 1500 m and 2700 m altitude. The generalized linear model (GLM) revealed that temperature had a major impact on the overall beetle composition.

Published: January 2023

One of the most common blood-borne illnesses is hepatitis C virus (HCV), Hepatitis C is referred to as the inflammation of the liver and caused by the HCV virus, HCV is estimated to cause 53000 fatalities per year over the world. The majority of HCV-infected patients are unaware of their infection. No vaccine is available for HCV although Interferon is used to treat HCV but effective only 20-38 %, but at present, only a minority of infected persons have been tested and are aware of their diagnosis. The expense of testing may play a substantial role in patients' ability to get rid of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Costs in many low- and middle-income nations, including Pakistan, force the development of novel and economically advantageous testing methods. The major aim of this study is about the effective diagnostic procedure for detecting Hepatitis C in the samples obtained from Balochistan, for this purpose the samples were collected from the health organization BINUQ (Balochistan Institute of Nephrology and Urology Quetta). Twenty (20) HCV antibodies positive patients in the Molecular Laboratory Department of Biotechnology were processed and then subjected to RNA extraction. cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcriptase enzyme. cDNA was used for qualitative analysis of HCV-RNA through nested PCR. According to the study, 09 samples were detected as positive and 7 samples were HCV negative out of 16 patients’ samples. The findings of the present study show comparison of the price for HCV- RNA tests per sample from patients with hepatitis C at various labs. When compared to the other five PCR-based tests in the laboratory-conducted anti-HCV, HCV qualitative, quantitative, and genotyping tests, Shoukat Khanum laboratory reported the most expensive costs for HCV -RNA tests. Dow laboratory HCV-RNA test is comparatively lower than Shoukat Khanum laboratory, while reported lowest and most cost-effective test of Molecular Diagnostic laboratory for anti-HCV. So, our molecular tests for HCV- RNA detection and quantitation showed very good diagnostic and clinical performance over all five public health laboratories.

Published: January 2023

Callosobruchus spp. are global serious pests of pulses. Therefore, two studies were carried out to determine their distribution in three ecological zones of the Sindh, Pakistan along with their damage potential to major pulses. Survey was conducted from Zone-one (Ghotki, Sukkur and Larkana districts), Zone-two (Hyderabad, Mirpur Khas and Shaheed Benazirabad districts) and Zone-three (Karachi district) during March – April 2020. Grain samples of main pulses i.e., chickpea (channa), field pea (matar), cowpea (lobia), green lentil (moong) and daal channa were collected from three locations of each district and brought to Stored Grain Research Laboratory, Department of Entomology, Faculty of Crop Protection, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam for further examination. Three pulse beetle species i.e., C. maculatus, C. chinensis and C. analis were identified from the collected pulse samples as the highest populations of adults, eggs, grubs and pupae was recorded from moong, followed by lobia and gram. No population of pulse beetle was recorded from daal channa and matar. Callosobruchus maculatus was the most dominant species at all sampling as higher beetle populations were recorded from Mirpur Khas and Sukkur districts. Therefore, both these strains were further evaluated for their feeding preference and weight loss assessment on various pulses i.e., gram (chickpea), lobia (cowpea), moong (green gram) and daal channa (yellow lentil) in no-choice under laboratory conditions. C. maculatus showed a significant feeding preference among pulses with lobia and gram being the most preferred, whereas daal channa was the least preferred, hence suffered highest and lowest weight loss, respectively. Therefore, proper storage and quarantine measures are suggested to be taken in the transportation and storage of pulses to restrict the spread and damage of pulse beetles.

Climate change causes low production of most vegetables throughout the world by reducing the quality and quantity of yield. Mitigation of the negative impact of climate change on plant productivity must be emphasized in the development of production systems to improve the efficiency of water use, including mulch. Organic mulch sheet (OMS) is an alternative biodegradable mulch made from abundant renewable materials. This study aimed to understand the influence of OMS application on the growth and yield of chili compared to plastic mulch and to optimize the compositions of OMS made from water hyacinth, coconut fiber, and manure for improving the growth and yield of chili. This study was carried out using a simple randomized complete block design with two controls (without mulch (P0) and plastic mulch (P0M)) and five treatments of OMS compositions (the percentage of water hyacinth, coconut coir, and manure) labeled as PO1 (70:20:10), PO2 (60:30:10), PO3 (50:40:10), PO4 (40:50:10) and PO5 (30:60:10). All tested OMS compositions in this study showed insignificantly growth and yield variables of chili compared to the plastic mulch. Optimum OMS composition for yield variables obtained at 59.39% water hyacinth and 0% coconut coir based on response optimizer using response surface analysis. Insignificant different growth and yield produced from OMS and plastic mulch application indicated that all tested OMS compositions, with biodegradable and eco-friendly properties, can be used to substitute for plastic mulch in chili cultivation.

The present study was intended to find out the curative potentials of Garlic (Allium sativum) against di-(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) induced toxicity in the reproductive system of female mice. Forty female mice were divided into four groups (n=10) as the (a) control group was given normal feed and drinking water, (b) aqueous garlic extract treated group (500 mg/kg), (c) DEHP group received 500 mg/kg in corn oil, and (d) DEHP + aqueous garlic extract each at a dosage of 500 mg/kg body weight. All treatments were given daily through oral gavage for 28 days. After completion of the experiment, all the animals were dissected through cervical dislocation to get reproductive organs. Collected organs were weighed and processed through the conventional histology technique of staining with eosin and hematoxylin. This study indicated that DEHP exposure caused a significant decrease (P<0.001) in body weight and weight of the complete female reproductive tract as compared to the control group, while the garlic co-administered group showed prominent improvement in body and organ weight when compared to only DEHP treatment. The adverse effect of DEHP on the histology of the ovary such as a decreased mean number of developing follicles, thin and irregular corona radiata, disruption of cumulus oophorus, and reduction in the size of the antral cavity of the tertiary follicle was observed. However, a significant recovery in the development of follicles was seen in DEHP plus garlic-treated group. DEHP plus garlic extract treatment showed protective effects on the uterus, such as a significant increase in the diameter of the uterus (P<0.001), muscularis, mean number of endometrial glands (P<0.001), and endometrial epithelial heights as compared to only DEHP exposed group. Hence, garlic extract showed significant ameliorative potential against DEHP-induced reproductive anomalies in female mice.
Socioeconomic and Environmental Impacts of Tobacco Farming in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Authors: Qurat-ul-ain Altaf  , Abid Hussain  , Bilal Khan Yousafzai
Published: January 2023

Tobacco production and curing cause a threat to the environment through injudicious use of pesticides, imbalanced use of chemical fertilizers, and excessive consumption of local firewood. Keeping all this in retrospect, this study has been designed to assess the impact of tobacco farming on family workers, and witness on spot involvement of children and nursing/ expecting mothers in tobacco-related health-hazardous tasks. General objective of the study is to document both the positive and negative environmental and socioeconomic externalities of tobacco production in the study area. It is based both on primary data and secondary statistics. Primary data has been collected from sixty farmers for the tobacco season 2021; including forty contract and twenty non-contract sample farmers. Farmers conceive that tobacco farming has a bad impact on human health (93 %), and causes degenerative deforestation and resource depletion (68 % each). Use of Green Tobacco Sickness gloves and Personal Precautionary Equipment was reported by eighty and sixty-two percent of the farmers, respectively. Impact of the disease on the workers’ health was reported by thirty-five percent of contracted farmers, and 90 percent of non-contracted ones. Thus, the impact of the disease on human health was severe on non-contracted farms, mainly due to little or no use of Personal Precautionary Equipment. Cost of Personal Precautionary Equipment per season at the contracted farms was much higher (US$ 18.0) than at non-contracted ones (US$ 2.0). While the treatment cost of Green Tobacco Sickness or other agrochemical-related diseases of contracted farming households was 2.5 times lower than non-contracted ones. As per the results of the double log Ordinary Least Squares regression model about medical treatment cost, the coefficient of age of household head and use of Personal Precautionary Equipment have negative expected signs and are statistically significant. Laboratory tests of soil and water samples have revealed hazardous levels of Sodium Chloride and Dissolved Oxygen in canal water, which indicate imbalanced use of fertilizers by the growers and leaching of excessive nutrients below the root zone. Tobacco companies’ contracted growers were found to have less occupational health hazards. Thus, raising awareness among tobacco growers about the importance of adopting precautionary measures and use of Personal Precautionary Equipment can reduce the negative effects of tobacco farming.

Published: January 2023

This study aimed to identify the existing onion production practices and constraints at smallholder farms and profitability of onion in the Tando Allahyar district of Sindh during the year 2018-19. The primary data were collected from 24 randomly chosen onion-producing farmers in village Ibrahim Shah using a pre-tested systematic questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to evaluate percentages, frequency, and mean, while the benefit-cost analysis (BCA) method was used to determine onion growers' profitability. Results of the study revealed that the overall average total cost and gross revenue of onion production were (Rs. 115120/acre, Rs. 154875/acre) respectively. The benefit-cost ratio was found to be 1.52 for (variable costs) and 1.35 for (total cost), indicating that onion cultivation benefits farmers in the Tando Allahyar district. The most common and local onion variety grown was Nasarpuri, which was cultivated by 87 % of farmers, along with Hazari and Phulkara. However, the farmers were reluctant to use hybrid seeds due to their inability to withstand high temperatures. The main production constraints for onion growers were high input prices, particularly seed costs, and high labour charges for hoeing and weeding. Similarly, low product prices and high transportation costs were major marketing constraints. Due to a lack of technical expertise with current technology, such as a shortage of cold storage and skilled labor, the marketing of excess produce throughout the year was a significant problem for onion growers. It is therefore suggested that a comprehensive marketing capacity building and Global GAP will improve the quality, productivity and profitability of the farmers and open the channel of export for Pakistan.

Objective: The most used method in the surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is lumbar microdiscectomy (LMD). In this study, we aimed to show the relationship between Tuffier's line (TL), which is widely used in determining the L4-5 distance in lumbar spinal interventions, and LMD levels.
Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 204 patients who had LMD or had low back pain were reviewed retrospectively. According to the projection of TL at the spine level; it was divided into 5 categories as L4 corpus, L4 lower endplate, L4-5 disc space, L5 upper endplate, L5 corpus. The cases were analyzed according to age, gender, disc level and changes in TL.
Results: 92.1% of the cases were operated at the L4-5 or L5-S1 level. TL was mostly at L5 upper endplate level in women, L4-5 disc space and above in men, and there was a significant relationship between TLs and gender in both groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In our study, we found that although TLs were caudally in patients operated at L5-S1 level, they displaced cranially in patients operated at L4-5 level. However, it was observed that LDH development in the lower lumbar region and increased at the upper levels with ageing.

When the algebraic difference of two central Cantor sets is an interval?
Authors: Nowakowski Piotr
Published: January 2023

Let \(C(a ),C(b)\subset \lbrack 0,1]\) be the central Cantor sets generated by sequences \(a,b \in \left( 0,1\right)^{\mathbb{N}}\). The first main result of the paper gives a necessary and a sufficient condition for sequences \(a\) and \(b\) which inform when \(C(a )-C(b)\) is equal to \([-1,1]\) or is a finite union of closed intervals. One of the corollaries following from this results shows that the product of thicknesses of two central Cantor sets, the algebraic difference of which is an interval, may be arbitrarily small. We also show that there are sets \(C(a)\) and \(C(b)\) with the Hausdorff dimension equal to 0 such that their algebraic difference is an interval. Finally, we give a full characterization of the case, when \(C(a )-C(b)\) is equal to \([-1,1]\) or is a finite union of closed intervals.

The year 2020 was very challenging and pathetic due to the worldwide pandemic COVID-19. This pandemic caused a total halt to normal life. This was not only a medical issue, rather than sectors like the global economy, education, tourism, and many other sectors took disastrous damage and fell miserably. The educational institutions were closed immediately due to the wide-spreading infectiousness of the virus. But the situation was partially handled with the help of online curriculums and conferences. Bangladesh, like any other developing country, felt the urgency of taking the whole education system online. Confronting this miserable circumstance, the educational board of Bangladesh faced a lot of new problems arriving with the online system. Educational requirements were moved to web-based platforms in March 2020. This study is an attempt to illuminate and explore the problems and prospects regarding online education at the tertiary level in Bangladesh. The whole study explored the social, technical, and psychological obstacles that caused the behavioral, operational, and statistical changes that occurred to the system. It also attempts to show how the e-learning system can be improved in the future. An online survey-based questionnaire was created for collecting data from both the teachers’ and students’ perspectives. The findings were observed statistically and the result revealed that the participants have experienced many problems as well as some prospects can be found too which may make the online teaching and learning efficient. In the very end, some suggestions were recommended to develop the system further ahead.

URGENSI METODE OMNIBUS LAW DALAM PEMBENTUKAN PERUNDANG-UNDANGAN DI INDONESIA DIKAITKAN DENGAN TUJUAN WALFARE STATE
Authors: Saragih Geofani Milthree
Published: January 2023

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, terjadi perdebatan di dunia hukum tata negara, khususnya dalam perundang-undangan. Hal ini karena pada awal tahun 2020 yang lalu, terdapat wacana yang direalisasikan yakni dalam hal ini penggunaan metode Ombibus Law dalam pembentukan beberapa RUU yang masuk dalam prolegnas prioritas. Terkhusus, penggunaan metode Ombibus Law ini merupakan bagian dari pelaksanaan agenda politik pemerintahan dalam memperbaiki beberapa permasalahan hukum di Indonesia, terkhusus dalam dunia lapangan kerja. Kemudian, salah satu dalil yang digunakan adalah untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan rakyat melalui memperluas lapangan kerja. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari disahkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja yang dimana pembentukan undang-undang tersebut menggunakan metode Ombibus Law yang sebelumnya tidak pernah digunakan di Indonesia, terlebih metode tersebut umumnya digunakan di negara-negara yang menganut sistem hukum common law. Salah satu permasalahan yang timbul dari keadaan tersebut adalah diajukannya judicial review terhadap Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja. Adapun pengujian yang dilakukan terhadap undang-undang tersebut adalah uji materil dan uji formil, yang dimana permohonan uji formil yang terdapat dalam permohonan ke Mahkamah Konstitusi tersebut memasukkan keberatan atas penggunaan metode Ombibus Law yang tidak memiliki dasar hukum yang jelas di dalam hukum positif di Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian normatif yang bersifat deskriptif analitis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tentang bagaimana eksistensi dari metode Omnibus Law ini sebelum dan sesudah berlakunya Undang-Undang Tentang Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan yang baru. Hasil dari penelitian ini akan menjawab bagaimana urgensi penggunaan metode Omnibus Law di Indonesia dan apa kaitannya dengan tujuan negara walfare state.

This paper presents the results of a quantitatively designed pedagogical research conducted in the winter of 2021/2022 among students (n = 144) in the fifth grade of primary schools in the Czech Republic. The questionnaire survey investigated climate knowledge, environmental values and attitudes, and pro-environmental behaviour. The results showed significant differences in the dimensions of willingness to act and appreciation of nature, in which girls scored higher than boys. The self-assessment questions captured significant differences in climate change knowledge between children from different participating schools. The regression model showed a significant influence of the dimensions of nature appreciation and willingness to act on pro-environmental behaviour. Analysis of the self-assessment questions revealed a significant relationship between students’ self-assesed knowledge of and interest in nature and climate and the dimensions of appreciation of nature, willingness to act, and pro-environmental behaviour.
