Authors: Ali Sadiq , Rahim Ashfaq-ur- , Nauman Muhammad , Qayyum Tannaza , Kirmani Urooj , Khan Abdullah
Published: September 2021

Aim: To evaluate the difference and functional outcome between open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and intermaxillary fixation (IMF) in mandibular fractures. Study Design: Retrospective study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faryal Dental College, Sheikhupura, Lahore from 1st February 2019 to 31st January 2021. Methodology: One hundred and fifty seven patients treated for fractures of mandible and reviewed their prognosis based on use of intermaxillary fixation after reduction of fracture. The patients were divided into two groups; Manual reduction group without the intermaxillary fixation and the intermaxillary fixation group. Results: Good results have been obtained in most patients after mandible fracture reduction. However, complications occurred in 19 (27.5%) patients in group 2 after surgery. 6 patients had an infection, 4 patients had a wound dehiscence, and 4 patients had osteomyelitis. No loosening of the mounting bolts and/or crack of the mounting plates was observed. Correct occlusion was achieved using posterior arch wires and elastic rings in 2 malocclusion patients. Occlusion failed in two patients in Group 1 due to osteomyelitis, and the second operation was performed under general anaesthesia. The mean complication severity scores for Group 1 and Group 2 were 1.37 and 1.38, respectively, with no significant difference. Conclusion: Among the patients treated with manual reduction, 2 patients had malocclusion and 1 patient required a new surgery. Such a simple mandible fracture can give good results even with manual reduction without intermaxillary fixation. For a simple mandible fracture, only manual reduction without intermaxillary fixation or intermaxillary fixation was recommended for a short time.

Aims: To assess the knowledge of off-springs of diabetic patients regarding, perceived risk of developing type II diabetes &possibilities of its prevention and behaviour of study participants to adopt healthy lifestyle for the prevention of diabetes was also explored. Study Design: Cross sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Medicine, Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex, Lahore and Mayo Hospital Lahore from 1st February 2020 to 31st July 2020. Methodology:Two hundred and fifty individuals were enrolled. A face to face interview of all study participants was conducted and a questionnaire was filled. Results: There were 103(41.2%) had good knowledge regarding various aspects of diabetes, 120(48.0%) and 139(55.6%) had a good understanding of diabetes risk factors and prevention, respectively. It was shown that 74 (29.6%), had a high risk of getting diabetes in the future and only 112 (44.8%) of the individuals had strong diabetes preventive practices. A high score of preventive lifestyle was significantly associated with good level of knowledge of participants regarding diabetes (p=0.0165) and also with patients having great concern about their risk of getting diabetes in future (p=0.0052). Conclusions: People who have one or both parents with type 2 diabetes are typically aware that they have a higher chance of developing diabetes themselves. They, on the other hand, frequently underestimate the danger and have limited knowledge of potentially effective preventative interventions. If they are to decrease their risk of diabetes and its consequences, they need correct knowledge on it. Keywords: Offsprings of diabetics, Prevention of diabetes, Knowledge about diabetes

Published: September 2021

The Olympic values are the sports' spiritual power, which is incomprehensible and secret to many people, but can make sense of time, restore dignity and change the athlete's personality. “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not the triumph but the struggle, the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well”, says the French educator and historian known as the father of the modern Olympic Games, Charles Pierre de Frédy, Baron de Coubertin. The noble spirit of this idea hides power and can become an ideal for anyone who wants to change himself/herself and the world around him/her. The time of technology, that we live in, represents a challenge of a healthy, educational and socio-cultural nature. The COVID-19 surprise blocked many activities and completely changed the world of sports and the physical activity of modern people. New issues and difficulties emerged, the great need for personal and family responsibility was felt, and spiritual, purely human values appeared. This article describes how teachers in physical education and sports found a landmark, solution and support in the idea of the Olympic movement and implemented it as an alternative in sports activities with young people and sports classes.

Anogeissus pendula Edgew has been reported to be used in gastric disorder even though no attempt has been made to evaluate the same. The present study was designed to evaluate the hydroalcoholic extracts of stem bark and leaves for in vivo acute antiulcer and anti-inflammatory activities. Antiulcer activity was studied by pylorus ligation induced ulcers while anti-inflammatory activities was studied by carrageenan induced paw edema. The extract of stem bark at 200 and 400 mg/kg b. w., significantly (P<0.05) reduced ulcer index whereas extracts of both stem bark and leaves significantly (P<0.001) reduced paw diameter at the fifth hour. The hydroalcholic extract of stem bark of A. pendula possesses more significant antiulcer and anti-inflammatory activity than the hydroalcholic extract of leaves may be due to the presence of higher amount of phenolic compounds.

The present investigation was aimed / carried out to develop a nano-sized emulsion-based vehicle containing 13-cis-retinoic acid as a means of increasing its permeability and be a suitable topical therapy for acne. Various heterogeneous dispersions were formulated by spontaneous nano emulsification method using 9% w/w propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, 27% w/w caprylocaproyl macrogol glycerides, 9% w/w polyglyceryl–6–dioleate and 55% w/w distilled water as an external phase. All plain and 13- cis-retinoic acid loaded nanoemulsions were clear and showed suitable physicochemical parameters for desired topical delivery and stability. The permeation profiles of 13-cis-retinoic acid through rat skin from selected optimized nanoemulsion formulation followed zero order kinetics. The microscopic observations indicate that the optimized nanoemulsion has no significant effect on the microscopic structure of the skin and epithelial cells appeared mostly unchanged. The surface epithelium lining and the granular cellular structure of the skin were totally intact. Hence, developed nanoemulsion containing 13-cis-retinoic acid would be a potential drug delivery vehicle for effective management of acne.

Periodontitis describes a group of related inflammatory diseases resulting in the destruction of the tissues that support the tooth. This disease results from the growth of diverse microflora (especially anaerobes) in the periodontal pockets and releases various bacterial enzymes, toxins, and stimulation of the body’s immune response. Scaling and Root planning is the basic treatment modality for periodontitis. Mechanical treatment is limited by physical impediments and biochemical considerations. Antimicrobial agents may be used as an adjunct to overcome the limitations of mechanical therapy. Nonsurgical controlled intrapocket delivery of antimicrobials in the treatment of periodontitis has been investigated for the possibility of overcoming the limitations of conventional therapy. Nonsurgical controlled release formulations to deliver antibacterial to the site of periodontal pocket are designed to be of low cost, nontoxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, greater stability, non-immunogenicity, and effective long-term treatment at the site of infection with reduced systemic dosing. A number of polymer based delivery systems like fibers, strips, films, chips, microparticles, nanoparticles, and nanofiber made from a variety of natural and synthetic materials have been successfully tested to deliver a variety of drugs. Periodontal pockets as a drug delivery platform for designing a suitable dental localized dosage form along with its potential advantage and limitations is reviewed here.
Effect of Incarceration on Children's Cognitive Development
Authors: Siwalei Annie , Mwaba Sidney O.C.
Published: September 2021

Imprisonment of parents causes many hardships for children. Children of incarcerated mothers usually experience disruptions in their home environments and child care arrangements and usually also experience social stigmatization. Children who accompany their mothers into prison are exposed to conditions that in all probability affect their cognitive development. This study investigated the possible effects that growing up in prison has on the cognitive development of children incarcerated together with their mothers. 34 children ranging in age between 2 and 4 years participated in this study together with their mothers. 17 of the children (10 girls and 7 boys) were incarcerated with their mothers and the other 17 children (9 girls and 8 boys) were not incarcerated and lived with their mothers in their homes. The incarcerated children were matched in demographic characteristics with non incarcerated children. The SON-R 2.5-7, an individual intelligence test for general application which does not require the use of spoken or written language was administered to measure the cognitive ability of the children. Qualitative data was also collected through informal discussions with the mothers and the prison warders on their perceptions on the cognitive ability of the children. A one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was computed to find out if there was a significant difference between the means of the two groups i. e the incarcerated and the non-incarcerated children. The results indicated a significant difference in performance between the two groups, with the incarcerated children performing worse than the non incarcerated children. Implications of the findings are discussed in relation to the cognitive development of 'incarcerated' and non 'incarcerated' children.

This article explores adolescents' experiences of alcohol use and abuse in two boarding High Schools of Chibombo District of Zambia. A cross- sectional study design with an emphasis on qualitative approach was done on school pupils in Chibombo district. The study group comprised of 162 pupils both males and females aged between 16 and 20 years and two teachers in charge of school guidance and counseling. The present study employed three data collection strategies: Focus group discussions with 48 pupils, in-depth interviews with two teachers and a survey questionnaire with 92 pupils. The results revealed that factors that induce pupils to engage in alcohol abuse include easy access to cheap alcohol and peer pressure. It was further found out that personal factors such as negative emotional state, pupil's expectations about the function of alcohol are the main causes of alcohol abuse among pupils. In addition to punitive measure against pupils who abuse alcohol, assessment and psychotherapy or counseling of pupils who engage the abuse can go a long in addressing the problem.
From Languages in Competition to Languages in Complementation: Accounting for Language-in-Education Policy Formulation and Implementation in Zambia 1964 - 2014
Authors: Simwinga John
Published: September 2021

This paper outlines the history of language-in-education policy in Zambia from 1964 to 2014. It examines some of the major factors which informed language-in-education policy formulation and implementation in the country in relation to four landmark phases: the 1966 proclamation of English as sole official language at national level and as language of classroom instruction from Grade One to the highest level of education; the 1977 education reforms recommendations; the 1996 language-in-education policy; and, finally, the 2014 declaration and implementation of the policy prescribing the use of familiar languages for instruction in initial literacy and numeracy from Grade One to Grade Four. The paper concludes that though English has remained the sole official language at national level over the years, there has been increasing recognition of the role of local languages as languages of classroom instruction. As a result, the early top-down and monolingual approach to language-in-education policy formulation and implementation, premised on the principle of languages in competition, has since given way to the bottom-up and multilingual approach, guided by the principle of languages in complementation. In order to consolidate the gains scored over the years, the paper argues for a comprehensive operationalisation of the current language-in-education policy through formulation of a comprehensive language development plan and the production of sociolinguistic surveys at both national and community level to aid teachers in determining which language or languages to use as media of classroom instruction in a given locality.
Ideologically-based Polarisation and Racism in Discourse
Authors: Hamed Dalia M
Published: September 2021

“The privileged” against “the others”, “Us” against “Them”, “the Top” against “the Bottom” and “the

Citizen” against “the Refugee/Immigrant”- are all ideologically-based discourses that classify human

beings. The present study, being discourse analytical, aims to shed light on some discourses of polarization

that are ideologically based and detect examples of such discourses in various fields as politics, science,

sport and education. Methodological framework is based on Van Dijk’s models of ideological discourse

analysis (2006a, 2006b &2007). Accordingly, a critical analysis of these discourses is applied in order to

decode the meaning that lies deep within them, a meaning that reveals the deeply-rooted ideology that

makes some believe that they deserve to be “the privileged” while other people are “the others” that are not

privileged. Van Dijk’s model of ingroup-outgroup polarization (Emphasizing Our good things and Their bad

things; Mitigating Our bad things and their good things) stands as a comprehensive/abstract standard that is

to be detected in the data of this study. The paper concludes that the critical analysis of discourse has shown

polarization/racism to be widespread in different fields of life. It calls for making changes in the way people

think and conceive of “the others”- a first step towards a better socio-political atmosphere.
Locative Inversion as an Alternation Phenomenon in Setswana: The Case of Lexical Functional Grammar Theory
Authors: Morapedi Setumile
Published: September 2021

The paper has examined locative inversion constructions in Setswana, showing that the pre-posed locative phrase in these constructions is not the subject as it is viewed by other linguists in the literature. It has been argued, in this paper, that locative phrase occurs in the sentence initial position to perform the topic function which sets the scene for the focused noun phrase that alternates with it (locative phrase). The analysis has been achieved through information structure approach, showing the locative phrase that occurs in sentence initial position is a discourse phenomenon showing given information, and that the focused post-verbal noun phrase is new information that is emphasised on. Also, an appeal is made to Lexical Functional Grammar Approach to explain different ways of representing syntactic structures such as constituent structure and the functional structure.

Due to the versatile application of plants the utilization of plants and their inferred substances builds up day by day for the revelation of new curative agents. Conocarpus erectus has placed in the family Combretaceae, in one of the two species of Conocarpus genus and ordinarily exists in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In some countries it is used as folk medicine for fever, anemia, diabetes, catarrh, diarrhea and conjunctivitis. The current study was carried out to investigate the antibacterial and anticancer properties of the plant. The four defatted methanol extracts of C. erectus different parts (leaves, stems, fruits and bark) showed high antibacterial and anticancer activity even with small quantity of dose. Antimicrobial assay was used to check out the antibacterial activity against 6 bacterial strains Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus Aureus and Klebstella Pneumoniae.  The results show that gram positive bacteria show more sensitivity and zone of inhibition as compared to gram negative bacteria. For anticancer activity, MTT assay was performed on HepG2 cells for this purpose. Plant extorts show anticancer activity with a minute quantity. For phytochemical screening defatted methanol extract of Conocarpus erectus was subjected to the silica gel glass column go behind by (RP-HPLC–UV–ESI-MS). It contains phenol such as tannin and flavinoid as major component. Plant contain Ellagic acid; di-hexahydroxy diphenyl, Vascalgin isomer as foremost tannin component. Gallic Acid, Kaempferol on the base of mass spectra and time of retention. The extract of Conocarpus erectus (leaves, shoot, bark & fruit) parts shows high antibacterial, antioxidant and hepta-protective activities due to phenolic content. Tannin has high antibacterial activity than other compound. C.erectus is notable for its folkloristic curative potential.

Authors: Ahamd S , Hera Z , Hanif MS , Syed AH
Published: September 2021

Aphids are the most commonly occurring, destructive, sap sucking and serious threat to cereal crops especially wheat (Triticum aestivum). Bird Cherry Oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.), is one of the most important aphids on T. aestivum which is one of the most consumed food and a source of nutrition in Pakistan. It causes considerable yield loss in wheat. Carbosulfan, a carbamate, is of the most commonly used pesticide against R. padi. The effects of Carbosulfan on generations of R. padi were performed under standard lab conditions by exposing adult aphids to three different concentrations (1.4×10-7 ppm, 1.4×10-10 ppm, 1.4×10-13 ppm) of Carbosulfan (Advantage® EC). Based on the results, all three concentrations noticeably reduced the pre-adult survival rate. 1.4×10-13 significantly extended the development duration of 1st instar, 2nd instar and 3rd instar nymphs. 1.4×10-13 ppm also extended the total pre-adult period and female longevity of R. padi. The total longevity was increased by 1.4×10-10 ppm. However, the fecundity decreased the most at 1.4×10-10 ppm. While the TPRP and APRP increased the most at 1.4×10-13 ppm. In the  life table parameters, both the intrinsic rate of increase (r) and the finite rate of increase (ƛ) decreased at 1.4×10-7 ppm and 1.4×10-10 ppm, as well as the net reproductive rate (R0) also decreased at 1.4×10-7 ppm and 1.4×10-10 ppm, while mean generation time (T) showed increase  at 1.4×10-13 ppm. Thus, at the concentrations of Carbosulfan tested here, there were negative impacts on R. padi fitness and biology by decreased pre-adult survival rate, λ, r, and R0. The concentrations also slowed down the development of some stages and extended T. My results would be helpful in assessing the overall effects of Carbosulfan on R. padi and should be taken into consideration when use Carbosulfan as a seed dressing insecticide for management of R. padi in wheat crop.

Gastrointestinal, skin, pulmonary and cardiovascular problems have been reported all over the world on massive scale. The treatment of these problems has become tough due to genetically modified bacterial strains and fungal infections. The present studied was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of Citrullus colocynthis plant extract. The ethanolic extract of dried fruit pulp, seed, and root was evaluated with respect to anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. The anti-microbial profile studied against four bacterial strains (2 Gram negative and 2 Gram positive) while anti-fungal profile studied against four fungal species. All the bacterial and fungal strains used in the study showed sensitivities against the respective extracts. The zones of inhibition ranged between 7 mm to 23 mm, and 6 mm to 23 mm in against bacterial and fungal strains, respectively. The extract of seed found to be less effective against both the organisms. It was suggested from our study that the extract of Citrullus colocynthis may be used in medicines to cure bacterial diseases.

Rhizobacteria, a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as beneficial microorganism which helps in defense from abiotic and abiotic stresses, colonizes in rhizosphere and played a major role in promoting plant growth and also provides enhance soil fertility. In the highly contaminated soil, the content of metal exceeds the limits of plant tolerance. It is also possible that treatment of plant with PGPR, here increasing the biomass of plant, stabilizing and the remediation of metal polluted soil. The use of rhizobacteria plays and important role in increasing the tolerance of plant towards toxic effects of heavy metals like arsenic, sulphur, mercury, chromium, cadmium, nickel, lead and copper etc. Heavy metal accumulation results in deterioration of soil fertility while PGPR helps to restore soil fertility. The process of phytoremediation has been proved to be the best way to remediate heavy metals from soil. The use of rhizobacteria with plants provides highly efficiency phytoremediation. However, there is still need to understanding the concept of microbial ecological study in rhizosphere and mechanism of detoxification of heavy metals form rhizosphere.

Cereals grains have feed mankind since their domestication thousands of years ago and remained the most important source of calories for the majority of human population. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and Maize (Zea mays L.) are used as staple food for more than 50% of world population. For evaluation of wheat and maize genotype under biogas wastewater, sewage water and drought stress, an experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, The University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan. The treatments of biogas wastewater, sewage water and drought for maize and wheat genotypes were kept as following T1: control (normal irrigation condition) T2 (sewage water 100ml), T3 (biogas wastewater 100ml), T4 (drought 75% (25ml water)), T5 (biogas 150ml) and T6 (sewage water 150ml) respectively). It was observed from the results that the performance of maize and wheat genotypes were highly variable under biogas wastewater, sewage water and drought treatments. The treatment of sewage water (150ml) and drought (75%) were found as the higher toxic treatments of maize and wheat which were predicted as they may cause to decrease in the photosynthetic rate, productivity and growth of plants. The significant correlation was found between root length and shoot length for both of the genotypes. It was found from the results that maize genotype (Raka-poshi) performed better under most of the stress treatments as compared with wheat genotype (Galaxy-2013) while the higher genetic advance and heritability were reported for maize genotype which revealed that the maize may used to grow for higher grain production under biogas wastewater, sewage water and drought stress conditions.

The higher hydrostatic pressure has been found as a high potential technique to safe microbiologically or protects and enhance the shelf life of foodstuffs. Microorganisms showed have different behavior under different types of high-pressure conditions. The higher pressure only can’t kill microbes because of the formation of highly stable or solid spores around bacterial cells; there is the use of synthetization therapy, pasteurization, sterilization under higher pressure and heat. The viruses showed fewer resistance against higher pressure and heat as compared to spores of bacteria which are much resistant than viruses. It can be abolished without eradicating contagion. The power detected antibodies leads to the chance of a vaccine creation. Depending on such factors, their reaction to pressure types is strain, operating climate, and substrate. The ability of what are the causes connect are needed to select optimal one food processing conditions.

Published: September 2021

Exporting has been one of the fastest foreign expansion strategies in the last two decades. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of an exporter's location in the development of export-related resources and capabilities, which will have an impact on the degree of export performance. The relationship between export-related resources, capabilities, and export performance are examined in this study. A total of 300 questionnaires were sent out to coffee and sesame exporters. However, only 253 surveys were used for analysis. The SmartPLS 3 software was used to analyse the data using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The study's findings suggest that access to location-specific resources and skills are critical antecedents for a company's ability to build export-related resources and capabilities in order to improve export performance. The geographic location of a company has a considerable and beneficial impact on human resource capability (β =0.67, p=0.001). Information capability was not significantly influenced by human resource capability ((β =0.082, P=0.259). Information capability ((β =0.656, p=0.001) is significantly influenced by organizational planning capability ((β =0.452, p=0.001). Satisfaction Export Performance ((β =0.431, p=0.01) has been significantly and positively influenced by information capability. New Product Development Capability influences strategic export performance significantly and positively ((β =0.330, p=0.001). Strategic export performance ((β =-0.035, P= 0.820) and satisfaction with export performance ((β =0.050, P= 0.625) were not affected by relationship capability. These data suggest that when it comes to exporting, rural businesses face significantly greater obstacles than those in metropolitan areas. The outcomes of this study will assist managers of remote-area businesses in developing equally appealing recruitment and reward practices in order to compete with businesses in urban areas. Furthermore, the outcomes of this study advise that export firm managers think carefully about the resources and capabilities required to improve their export performance.
