Education and Radicalization; Is There Any Causative Relationship? A Case Study of Pakistan
Authors: Kalhoro Dr. Javed Ali , Khan Dr. Sarfraz
Published: March 2022

The concept of radicalization has remained an intense part of human history. The features of this process are significant to understand human behaviour and encountering the social construction of any society. Several studies suggest that radicalization or extremism can be described as violent expressions, manifesting in the shape of extreme views, ideology or acts of violence against any individual, community, sect or even country. For this, several countries have spent substantial financial resources to pledge such threats and a spate of legislation to safeguard their respective national security. Research into radicalization, unfortunately, does not pay much consideration to education. This is extraordinary and may also, possibly, misses an important effect on the process of radicalization. Therefore, this study establishes a cognitive approach towards this term and examines whether radicalization has any linkage or causative relations with education as well. For this study, we have borrowed different denotations and connotations of radicalization and education by numerous scholars to determine the interconnectivity between radicalization and education. After going through existing the literature review, we establish that radicalization and education have strong connections. Education, be that formal or informal, can be used as an extensive tool to radicalize youth anywhere in the world. In this regard, we have studied Pakistan’s history vis-à-vis its education system in religious seminaries and public schools. We determine that the government of Pakistan has accepted the reality that its education system at the public schools and Madrassahs have remained an instrument to radicalize the youth in the country, which has raised fear for the internal security of Pakistan and for global security as well. In the end, we suggest that despite numerous steps by the Government of Pakistan, the international community must come up to assist Pakistan in terms of revitalizing its overall education system vis-à-vis curriculum changes to evade any further (emerging) extremism, which is rooted through radical textbooks at the public schools.
WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE, TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY IN WEST AFRICA
Authors: IHAYERE C.A. , IHAYERE O.B. , MAIJEH P.D.
Published: March 2022

This paper investigated the relationship between environmental quality and the adoption of technology by women in agriculture in sixteen West African countries over a period of 16 years (2000-2016). The effect of the use of smartphones, laptops, tablets and charging devices on the level of carbon emission was examined. This paper points out that, though the adoption of technology has increased agricultural production, it has also impacted environmental quality in terms of carbon prints and the quality of life of women farmer adopters. This paper adopts the Fixed and Random effect of Hausman’s test method with data from WDI ranging from 2000 to 2016. Female employment in Agriculture (FEA) was 46% of the agricultural workforce. The paper recommends adherence to the 2015 Paris agreement on low carbon emission, which should be properly monitored and carried out by Governments and relevant agencies, investing in eco-friendly sustainable means of electricity and viable means of transportation to reduce the use of fossil fuel.
Ethosomes: A Novel Vesicular Innovation to Enhance Transdermal Delivery of Drugs
Authors: Bhandari Saloni
Published: March 2022

Transdermal route of drug delivery is a promising substitute to oral-systemic delivery of drug substances. It offers several benefits such as avoidance of first pass metabolism, patience compliance, ease of application and so on. But along with these benefits, the major drawback is the barrier function of the skin which hinders the transdermal delivery of the drugs. Hence, ethosomes are useful in such conditions as they surpass the barriers of the skin. Ethosomes are the noninvasive delivery carriers that enable drugs to reach deep into the skin layers or the systemic circulation. They are made up of phospholipids, high concentration of ethanol and water. Ethosomes are able to encapsulate and distribute extremely lipophilic molecules through the skin, as well as cationic drugs, due to their unique structure and deliver them to the deep layers of the skin. Ethosomes have become an area of research interest, because of its enhanced skin permeation, improved drug delivery, increased drug entrapment efficiency etc. This review article provides an insight about the ethosomal systems, their mechanism of penetration into the skin, methods of preparation, evaluation and applications in the field of pharmacy.

Published: March 2022

Water is one of the most vital substances on Earth. Sustainment of life on this planet depends greatly on the availability of water. Water consumption is used not only for drinking but for purposes like agricultural irrigation, industrial raw material and domestic household purposes. Hence, the quality of water is an important matter. Solar de-salination is a technique that uses the Sun's radiant energy to de- salinate water. Due to its energy requirement, de-salinating seawater is generally more costly than freshwater, water obtained through bore wells also called Brackish water from rivers or groundwater. However, these sources may not be available in most of the places, like barren lands or may not be easily extractable, maybe even not a sustainable long term solution. The technique selected based on the evapouration and condensation rates to increase the efficiency, one must implement measures to enhance the evapouration and condensation rates of the capability. De-salination is a costly process majorly depending on its high energy requirements when as input power the whole system of de-salination either as fuel and electricity, following the century old traditions, modern day engineers have come up with a solution of harvesting the Sun's energy, hence the advent of solar de-salination of water.

Published: March 2022

Introduction: Learning methods are used to realize the applied learning strategies. Each learning method has its most prominent learning domain, such as cognitive (change of knowledge), affective (change of behavior), and psychomotor (change or improvement of skill). Midwifery is a profession that requires specific knowledge, attitudes, and skills that must be possessed and mastered. The process of achieving good competence of midwives starts with midwifery education. In achieving competence, midwifery students need theoretical and practical learning experiences in laboratory clinical skills. The Learning Pyramid developed by the National Training Laboratory shows that most students remember 90% of what they learn by teaching others. Objective: Determining the effect of the peer-assisted learning method application in laboratory skills for the physical examination of newborns learning. Method: This research used a Quasi-Experimental design with a pretest-posttest design. The sample was 30 students taken through the quota sampling technique, and the analysis used was the Wilcoxon Test. Result: The Peer-Assisted Learning method affected the learning outcome of skills in the physical examination of newborns with a significance level of P = 0.000 < 0.05. Conclusion: The Peer-Assisted Learning method improves the physical examination skills of newborns of DIII midwifery students.

Technical Efficiency in Swine Production Under Different Waste Management Techniques
Authors: Etim Nsikak-Abasi A. , Ebukiba Elizabeth S. , Udoh Edet J. , Essang Esther U.
Published: March 2022

In spite of the enormous benefits derivable from pig production, farmers are yet to fully maximize output due largely to inefficiency in the use of resources. An empirical study was carried out to examine the technical efficiency of resource use in swine production under different waste management strategies. Multistage sampling procedure was employed to select 60 farmers and primary data were obtained with the aid of questionnaire. Using the stochastic production frontier function based on the Cobb- Douglas form, asymptotic parameter estimates were evaluated to describe efficiency determinants. Result revealed that the most vital factors influencing technical efficiency across the pig farms were labour, medication and stocking density whereas the most critical explainers of inefficiency across all the pig farms were farming experience, access to credit and extension contact. The average efficiency for pig farmers that bury, dump and compost waste were 0.87, 0.88 and 0.74 respectively while the mean efficiency across all the pig farms was 0.80. The fact that all the pigs farms had mean efficiencies of less than one is indicative that none of the pig farms reached the frontier threshold in production. Thus, within the context of efficient agricultural production, pig farmers could still increase their output using appropriate technologies and the right resource-mix.

Authors: Kreis Maria Clara , Moore Debra W.
Published: March 2022

The subjective well-being within society continues to be a focus in psychology, especially during the COVID 19 pandemic. The Life Satisfaction Scale for Apostolic Women Religious (LSSAWR) is designed to assess, across generations and congregations, the subjective well-being of Catholic Sisters worldwide. Sisters completing the LSSAWR online get a personal score report, and each congregation receives their LSSAWR scores in a Congregational Report (CR). The anonymous and confidential nature of gathering and reporting results, allows for honest feedback from Sisters about the current state of their community, and it provides insights for the potential planning of their preferred future. Additionally, CRs offer generational cohort comparisons across and within the domains that are reflective of various aspects as related to religious life. A multilevel model to account for clustering of Sisters within congregations was used to examine whether generational differences existed in LSSAWR scores. Results revealed significantly higher scores among elder cohorts as compared to younger cohorts but some differences in patterns among domain scores.

Estudos climáticos envolvendo séries históricas com dados notoriamente trabalhados acabam por contribuir com o conhecimento dos processos dinâmicos e das variações temporais e espaciais atmosféricas. Sob essa perspectiva o objetivo desse trabalho focou a análise do comportamento das chuvas na região de Itirapina/SP, aplicando três metodologias de classificação climática. Através dos métodos utilizados, verificou-se que a variabilidade pluviométrica ao longo dos 38 anos ainda se encontra nos parâmetros admitidos de normalidade, pois as porcentagens das classes normais estiveram situadas entre 63,5% e 70,7%. As classes chuvosas apresentaram uma porcentagem entre 14,9% a 17,5% e as classes secas de aproximadamente 14,3% a 19,2%. Entre as metodologias utilizadas, os métodos IAC e AP apresentaram maior similaridade na distribuição do número de ocorrência entre classes. Além disso, a espacialização da frequência entre as setes categorias, revelou que algumas regiões sofrem influência do relevo, manifestando maior ou menor periodicidade de algumas classes.
Metodologia para a estimação da temperatura do ar em função da altitude a partir de dados de perfil topoclimático

Published: March 2022

O objetivo deste artigo foi estabelecer a correlação entre a temperatura do ar e a altitude e estimar a temperatura do ar média, máxima e mínima, a partir do perfil topoclimático, para a bacia hidrográfica do Rio do Boi (RS/SC). Para esta pesquisa foram utilizados dados de temperatura do ar de seis abrigos meteorológicos instalados em diferentes altitudes. O período de coleta dos dados foi de 13/07/2017 à 31/11/2018. A relação entre as três medidas de temperatura com a altimetria foi estabelecida a partir dos coeficientes de correlação e regressão. O gradiente térmico foi calculado por meio da reta de regressão, também para as três medidas. A reta de regressão e a altitude foram utilizadas para espacializar a temperatura do ar para toda a área de estudo. Os resultados mostraram que a altitude tem influência na variação da temperatura do ar. No entanto, essa relação é mais definida para a temperatura máxima do ar (R² 0,97). Para a temperatura mínima, a relação entre a temperatura do ar e a altitude é menor (R² 0,87) e isso também reflete no gradiente térmico da temperatura mínima (0,53 ºC/100m). Essa relação pode ser influenciada pelas inversões térmicas que ocorrem no período noturno na área de estudo. Com isso, observou-se que a altitude influencia significativamente na variação espacial da temperatura do ar para a bacia hidrográfica do Rio do Boi.
X and Y v Romania: A Partial Solution to an Impossible Dilemma?
Authors: Bob Alexandra
Published: March 2022

The issue of recognising the effects of gender affirmation is a controversial subject that the European Court of Human Rights often faces as a result of States’ reluctance in addressing such matter. This paper analyses the recent judgment of the European Court in the case of X and Y v. Romania, in which, by unanimously declaring the requirement of mandatory surgery for gender affirmation as contrary to Article 8 ECHR, the Court significantly increases the protection and autonomy of transgender people and takes an extremely important and positive step forward in respect to transgender rights in Europe.
Prekarisierung der Mitte?
Authors: Cremer Georg
Published: March 2022

Dieser Beitrag setzt sich kritisch mit den Indikatoren der Typologie sozialer Lagen auseinander, die erstmals im Sechsten Armuts- und Reichtumsbericht der Bundesregierung (2021) verwandt wird. Er thematisiert zugleich Fallstricke der Armutsdebatte in Deutschland, die sich daraus ergeben, dass Armut in einer Weise konzeptionalisiert wird, bei der es auch ausgebauten, leistungsfähigen Sozialstaaten nicht gelingt, die so gemessene Armut zu überwinden. Was immer der Sozialstaat leistet, er scheint zu scheitern. Die Typologie sozialer Lagen wird diese Problematik verstärken, da auch Phasen bürgerlicher Normalbiographien prekarisiert werden. Die folgenden Ausführungen verstehen sich als Diskussionsbeitrag im Vorfeld der Erstellung des nächsten Armuts- und Reichtumsberichts.
Nachhaltige Schwächung der Schuldenbremse im Zweiten Nachtragshaushalt 2021
Authors: Hugo Dieter
Published: March 2022

Die Bundesregierung hat sich im Koalitionsvertrag und an anderer Stelle mehrfach zur Schuldenbremse bekannt. Mit ihrem ersten größeren finanzwirtschaftlich relevanten Gesetzespaket, dem am 18. Februar 2022 verkündeten Zweiten Nachtragshaushalt 2021, hat sie allerdings fast im gleichen Atemzug diese Schuldenbremse faktisch ausgehebelt. Die zusätzliche Bereitstellung von 60 Mrd. Euro für den Klima- und Transformationsfonds (KTF)1 ist unter mehreren Aspekten verfassungsrechtlich zweifelhaft.2 Der vorliegende Beitrag legt den Fokus auf die mitbeschlossene neue Buchungsregel für Sondervermögen, die das eigentliche Herzstück des Nachtragshaushalts bildet. Die damit verbundene Schwächung der Schuldenbremse ist nachhaltig. Immerhin will die Bundesregierung diesen Fehler nicht wiederholen und schlägt daher vor, das neue Sondervermögen „Bundeswehr“ im Grundgesetz zu verankern.

Kendrapada sheep of Odisha is a prolific, medium stature meat type breed. The Kendrapada sheep is the second prolific sheep of India after Garrole of West Bengal, which carries FecB mutation, responsible for prolificacy. The reproductive traits of this sheep is the major attribute where the ewe of this sheep comes to heat at around 10–11 months and drops its first lamb at around 15–16 months of age. The average lambing interval in these sheep is 8 months with gestation period of 150 days. The reproductive performance of these sheep is the uniqueness of this sheep population with more than 70% multiple births; 62.8% twinning, 2.3% triplet and 1% quadruplets. Thus research should be undertaken to conserve the valuable germplasm of Kendrapada sheep to improve the other breeds of India which are good in context of weight gain but lack prolificacy. As sheep are well adapted to diverse climatic conditions they can easily thrive on wide variety of grasses and crop residues thus fits well in zero input free grazing system of rearing by rural poor. However the potentiality of this Kendrapada sheep in terms of meat quality and prolificacy and resistance to diseases has been the simulating force to take up base line survey along with variety of trials to conserve this breed. Keeping the above mentioned points in mind the present study was carried out to highlight the baseline details of this neglected breed as it is one of the first review articles on Kendrapada sheep.

Large microaxial pump systems (Impella 5.0, or Impella 5.5; i.e., Impella 5+) (Abiomed Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) have gained increasing levels of attendance as valuable tools of mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Patients undergoing heart transplantation (HTX) often need temporary MCS in the perioperative course, either as a preoperative bridge or occasionally in the early post-transplant period. Here we present our experience using Impella 5+ support for patients designated to undergo HTX, describe technical aspects of implantation and removal, and further analyze factors influencing the overall patient outcome. Significant factors are discussed in front of the background of contemporary international literature, and current scientific questions are highlighted.

This project began in April 2017 with a survey of people who have achieved healthy longevity with the aim of preventing people from becoming bedridden and improving the health of local residents. The purpose of this survey was to contribute to the achievement of healthy longevity among older adults. We analyzed the current status of those who had achieved healthy longevity, aged 90 and over, living in Nonoichi City from qualitative and quantitative data. As a result, we have gradually been able to better understand the factors related to the achievement of healthy longevity, including (1) lifestyle history, (2) the assessment of cognitive functions, (3) frailty status, and (4) daily living functions. These results were published at several conferences in 2018 and 2019. Furthermore, we prepared a leaflet containing “four suggestions for living a long and healthy life,” which uses the results of previous surveys as evidence and promotes health promotion and care prevention activities for local community residents.
The Street Edge: Micro-Morphological Analysis of the Street Characteristics of Baghdad, Iraq
Authors: Jasim Essa Al-Saaidy Haider
Published: March 2022

In Arabic cities, diversity can be seen in the development of the same underlying order. This assists to manage to qualify well-defined relationships with various levels of movement in the urban setting. The micro-morphological examination is used to emphasise further the spatial pattern at a micro-level within a macro-scale scope. Hence, micro-level studies are essential in evaluating the built environment with regard to private and public domain. Terminologically, the notion of the symbiosis of how the private and public domains interact with each other is needed. Also, there is a need for people to know their rights when using the street edge and the extent to which they (the owner/user) have the authority to modify the public space. The transition of the urban pattern from the traditional order (spontaneous pattern) to the modern model (pre-planned system) not only changes the spatial morphological structure entities but also transformed the association of the private and public domain.
RH Groups

In 1939, a mother gave birth to a stillborn baby and underwent blood transfusion with ABO-matched blood from her husband. This resulted in a hemolytic transfusion reaction (HTR). Levine and Stetson postulated that a novel antigen was present in the baby and father, which was absent in the mother. Therefore, the mother’s immune system recognized this antigen and produced antibodies against it. This condition has been known as the hemolytic disease of the newborn for a long period of time. Since the antenatal management of the fetus has been developed, the term has been modified to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). This case led to the discovery of the antibody against the first antigen of the RH blood group system, the D antigen. To date, 56 antigens have been recognized within the RH blood group system. The five main antigens are D, C, c, E, and e. As observed in the above-mentioned case, the antibodies against these antigens are implicated in HTR and HDFN.
Ramjet Acceleration of Microscopic Black Holes within Stellar Material
Authors: V. Shubov Mikhail
Published: March 2022

In this work, we present a case that Microscopic Black Holes (MBH) of mass 1016kg–3×1019kg experience acceleration as they move within stellar material at low velocities. The accelerating forces are caused by the fact that an MBH moving through stellar material leaves a trail of hot rarefied gas. The rarefied gas behind an MBH exerts a lower gravitational force on the MBH than the dense gas in front of it. The accelerating forces exceed the gravitational drag forces when MBH moves at Mach number M<M0<1. The equilibrium Mach number M0 depends on MBH mass and stellar material characteristics. Our calculations open the possibility of MBH orbiting within stars including the Sun at Mach number M0. At the end of this work, we list some unresolved problems which result from our calculations.
Mechanism of Development of Arterial Hypertension Associated with the Exchange of Level Vitamin D
Authors: Gahramanova Sona
Published: March 2022

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most chronic and fatal disorders in the world, the main risk factors for which are age, hereditary predisposition, race, tobacco use, high salt intake, etc., as well as low vitamin D. In the last 10 years, there has been an increasing interest in the extraosseous effects of vitamin D. Being a hormone-like vitamin, it participates in many vital processes of the body. Its level is closely related to various metabolic disorders, diseases of the cardiovascular system (CVS), arterial hypertension (AH), diabetes mellitus, the immune system, cancer, etc. Vitamin D improves vascular endothelial function, due to which it has a vasoprotective effect, improves blood pressure, reduces vascular and myocardial remodeling, reduces the risk of left ventricular hypertrophy, slows down fibrosis, reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, reduces insulin resistance and inflammation, and improves immunity. It has been proven that vitamin D has an inverse relationship with renin, it reduces the expression of the renin gene. At a normal level of vitamin D, the concentration of renin and aldosterone II decreases, which has a positive effect on the course of hypertension.
