Authors: Mohan Suranya , Jose Stella
Published: April 2022

Type I diabetes mellitus is a common chronic disorder in children. The present study was aimed to assess the health practices and determine the quality of life among children with Type I diabetes mellitus, to find out the correlation between their health practices and quality of life and the association between quality of life and selected sociodemographic and clinical variables. Health promotion model was adopted for the study. This cross sectional study was conducted among 80 children with Type I diabetes mellitus who belonged to the age group of 6 to 18 years and their caregivers who were selected consecutively from the Mittayi clinic of a tertiary care centre in Alappuzha. Health practices were good in 82.5% children. The practice scores were lowest in dietary practices (79.3 %) and highest in follow up (98.1 %). Quality of life was good among 57.5% children with type I diabetes mellitus. A significant positive correlation was found between the health practices and quality of life of children with type I diabetes mellitus (r=0.306, p=0.006). Health practices were positively correlated with the domains of quality of life such as role limitation, treatment satisfaction, emotional satisfaction, diet satisfaction and physical endurance. A significant association was found between the quality of life of children with type I diabetes mellitus and family history of diabetes mellitus and duration of illness. Quality of life of children with type I diabetes mellitus can be enhanced by improving the health practices among them.

Authors: Lubis Masrul , Pane Meivina Ramadhani , Siregar Gontar Alamsyah
Published: April 2022

Gastritis is an inflammation in the stomach tissue that can occur either acutely or gradually as a chronic condition. Incidence of gastritis in Indonesia is high, which is 274,396 cases out of 238,452,952 inhabitants. One of the most common causes of gastritis is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) is a dependent proteinase that is able to break down almost all extracellular matrix proteins. It is known from several studies that MMP is closely related to gastric ulcer disease and cancer. At present, in vivo and in vitro studies have established the activation of several MMPs associated with H. Pylori infection. There were 80 samples obtained through consecutive sampling in March-June 2019. Gastritis was ensured by endoscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). H.pylori is established through a change in color from yellow to red, magenta, pink, or orange in the examination of Campylobacter Like Organism test (CLO). MMP-3 level examination using a serum MMP3 was measured using RayBio Human MMP-3 and MICA ELISA kits (Norcross, GA). Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 22. There was a significant relationship between MMP-3 levels and the severity of H. pylori gastritis, namely between the degree of neutrophil infiltration (p = 0.016), atrophy (p = 0.001), and intestinal metaplasia (p <0.001).

Published: April 2022

Zeitgemäßer Mathematikunterricht bereitet Lernende auf das Leben in unserer Gesellschaft vor, welche wiederum den Aufbau digitaler Kompetenzen fordert. In den Schulen werden dafür vom Schulerhalter sukzessive technische Voraussetzungen geschaffen, wenngleich zusätzliche Ressourcen bspw. für Fort- und Weiterbildungen der Lehrpersonen meist ausgespart werden. Sie sind daher angehalten, geeignete Lehr-/Lernressourcen zu identifizieren/entwickeln, die einen nachhaltigen Kompetenzerwerb mit digitalen Medien und Werkzeugen ermöglichen. Eine nach diesem Anspruch gelingende Unterrichtsgestaltung ist der Einsatz substanzieller Mathematikaufgaben, die zum Reflektieren und Kommunizieren einladen. Im Projekt digi LU wird diese Gelingensbedingung aufgegriffen und das Ziel verfolgt, dass Lehrpersonen digitale Lernumgebungen mit verfügbarer Technik und ohne informatischer Ausbildung digitale Technologien nutzen können, um damit eine qualitative Verbesserung ihres Unterrichts zu erreichen.
Das Gutachten zur Einschätzung von Lehrer*innenkompetenz im Mentoring-Prozess der Induktionsphase
Authors: Dammerer Johannes , Zeilinger Hannelore
Published: April 2022

In der sensiblen Phase des Berufseinstiegs werden in Österreich Lehrpersonen im Sinne eines bedürfnisorientierten Mentorings auf Augenhöhe begleitet (Dammerer et al., 2020). Obwohl es zu einer Aufhebung hierarchischer Strukturen kommt, ist die reziproke Beziehung zwischen Mentor*in und Mentee asymmetrisch, denn sie resultiert in einem Gutachten. Dieses Gutachten zielt darauf ab, wahrnehmbar zu machen, wie sich die Lehrperson entwickelt. Es stellt sich in diesem Zusammenhang jedoch die Frage, wie sich das Verständnis der Mentoring-Partnerschaft mit einer Bewertung in Form eines Gutachtens vereinbaren lässt und inwiefern Lehrer*innenarbeit und Lehrer*innenkompetenz im Berufseinstieg durch ein Gutachten bewertbar gemacht werden können.

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird zur Asymmetrie der Mentoring-Beziehung Stellung bezogen und die Rolle und Bedeutsamkeit des Gutachtens für Vertragslehrpersonen in der Induktionsphase diskutiert. Modelle der Professionalisierungsforschung wie auch die Anwendung des Gutachtens in der Praxis deuten darauf hin, dass das Gutachten nicht im Widerspruch zu gelingendem Mentoring steht, sondern im Gegenteil notwendiger Referenzrahmen und ressourcenorientierte Orientierungshilfe sein kann. Die im Beitrag zusammengefasste Studie ergibt Implikationen für den Einsatz eines Gutachtens in der Praxis und das Rollenverständnis von Mentor*innen, die sich den aus diesem Spannungsfeld resultierenden Entwicklungsaufgaben stellen müssen.

Die empirischen Befunde der vorliegenden Untersuchung zeigen deutlich, dass das Gutachten nicht nur eine Beurteilung darstellt, sondern in seinem Nutzen über diese Funktion hinausgeht, da es der ressourcenorientierten Dokumentation von Entwicklungsprozessen dient. Der nachfolgende Beitrag veranschaulicht die Anwendung des Gutachtens exemplarisch an ausgewählten Begutachtungsschwerpunkten.

Sino-Indian Strategic Balancing in Nepal
Authors: Sameera Imran
Published: April 2022

This article examines Sino-Indian power balancing in Nepal to explore Kathmandu’s policy options for security. Traditionally, both regional giants have sought to co-opt Nepal in a bid to outflank the other in the Himalayan region. India has exercised greater leverage profiting on ethnic and economic connections. Presently, China’s rise has offered Kathmandu a window of opportunity to substitute the Indian foothold in Nepal. China’s strategic leverage has increased due to the up-gradation of Sino-Nepalese political and economic connections. Nepal’s tilt towards Beijing has led New Delhi to seek reassurances from Kathmandu. Sino-Indian overlapping cultural and competing politico-strategic objectives has increased Kathmandu’s volatility to foreign intervention. The interplay of Sino-Indian regional balancing has constrained policy options for its security. Within this context, the article seeks to analyse the following questions: a.) What are Sino-Indian power ambitions and policy objectives in Nepal? b.) How has China’s expansion of influence impacted on Nepal-India relations and Kathmandu’s policy options for security? The theoretical cushion of neo-classical realism, employing qualitative techniques of content analysis has provided a befitting context to study Nepal’s security challenges. The article argues that Kathmandu’s security drive has to tread on a thin rope of power balancing caught in between India and China. Nepal balances between its tightly knit historic ties with India and the new opportunity dawned in building connections with Beijing. Nepal’s approach marks philosophical approach of Kautilya’s Raja Mandala as an expression of expedient move to win security.

To overcome this problem, under CPEC, 21 energy projects have been started in four provinces of Pakistan, Gilgit Baltistan (GB) and Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK). This study tries to access the impact of the CPEC energy project located in the Azad Jammu and Kashmir referred to as the 720MW Karot hydropower project on the economy of Pakistan using the Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Based on Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) 2010-2011 and) Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database, this study simulates the impact of Karot hydropower project on some of the macroeconomic variables. The simulated results reveal that real GDP and total exports to other countries increase owing to the investment in hydropower projects as well as an increase in the supply of electricity. Moreover, investment in the Karot hydropower project also increases the growth of the interlinked sectors such as manufacturing sector, transport, and communication, agriculture and services sector respectively. This study also observes that the real prices of factor input also increase which would have a direct impact on wellbeing of the people.
Paraplegic Dimensions of Asymmetric Warfare: A Strategic Analysis of Resilience Policy Plan
Authors: Author Syed Hussain Shaheed Soherwordi and Sehrish Qayyum
Published: April 2022

Asymmetric warfare is a game of nerves and thoughts with least vigorous participation for large anticipated losses by creating partial or permanent paraplegia. Strategic analysis of asymmetric warfare since the World War I till the post-cold-war era exposits that the courage makes nations win the battle of warriors to battle of comrades. Despite preparations, asymmetric warfare has been difficult to fight due to uncertainty of circumstances and lethality of weapons. Thoughts before action may be the best-assumed strategy to mix Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) and Observe, Orient, Decide and Act (OODA) loop to develop the Paraplegic Resilience Policy Plan (PRPP) to win asymmetric warfare. PRPP may serve to control and halt the ongoing wave of terrorism, guerrilla warfare and insurgencies. PRPP, along with a strategic work plan, is based on psychometric analysis to deal with any possible war condition and tactic to save millions of innocent lives. However, self-imposed epistemic dilemmas result in regret[s] that become the course of action. This is a descriptive study of war conditions with generic application of probability tests to find the best possible options and conditions to develop PRPP for any adverse condition possible. Innovation in technology begets modernisation in strategy to serve as a rheostat approach to deal with asymmetric warfare.
Age of Demagoguery and Surveillance Capitalism: A Case Study of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Authors: Author Misbah Mukhtar
Published: April 2022

Using the theoretical framework of surveillance capitalism, this paper analyses the election campaigns of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of India during the 2014 and 2019 elections. It endeavours to find out how BJP has weaponised information during these two elections: a) to convince voters, b) to consolidate power at home. By doing content analysis of both primary and secondary sources, the research finds out that massive targeted advertisements were used by BJP’s social media cell during these elections. Third parties (proxy) sources were especially helpful for BJP on Facebook for a wider outreach of its message on social media. The research further elaborates that the timing of targeted advertisements is shaped in a way that it ensures that people click the ad, thus achieving the desired political outcomes for BJP. Towards the end, it formulates a vehement case of taking back control of Indian digital lives by bringing cyberspace under greater democratic oversight and legal accountability.

The judgment of the fertility status of agricultural soils is very substantial to determine crop sustainability and judicious nutrient management. A field survey of dominant maize growing areas of District Poonch, Azad Jammu, and Kashmir was undertaken in July-August, 2017. The twelve dominant maize growing sites, namely Char, Chak, Dothan, Banjusa, Chamber, Hajira Kelot, Kakuta, Mandhole, Madarpur, Tatrinote, Chattra Abbaspur, and Dawarandi were selected for the collection of soil and associated maize plant samples. A total of 24 composite soil samples (each  representative of three individual samples) was separately collected from 0-15 and 15-30 cm depths and were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, i.e. soil texture, pH, organic matter, soil nitrogen, available P, exchangeable K and micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn). The maize ear leaves samples were also analyzed for N, P, K, and micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn). To evaluate the adequacy levels of nutrients for maize growth the critical nutrient levels were used. Soils in the sampled sites were weakly acidic to neutral (pH 6.66-7.29) and had low to medium soil organic matter content (0.57-1.12%). The percent of sites with low nutrient contents were 66.7% for P and K, 8.3% for Cu,and 66.7% for Zn. The 100% sampled sites had plant N, P, and Cu deficiency while percent deficiency for plant K, Mn, and Zn was 1, 50, and 25, respectively. Soil pH had negative and organic matter had a positive significant correlation with all analyzed soil and plant nutrients. These results suggest that having integrated nutrient management strategies can enhance soil fertility and productivity in the study area.

Published: April 2022

Nanoparticles have revolutionized the world with their enormous blessings specifically in cancer treatment. In past, conventional chemotherapy was the primary choice of treatment for patients. However, chemotherapeutics also had several pharmaceutical limitations such as stability, drug-drug interaction, drug resistance, and aqueous solubility. Reciprocally, dose curbing toxicity is significant with non-specific toxicity to healthy cells, loss of appetite, hair loss, peripheral neuropathy, vomiting, muscular fatigue, and diarrhea being the typical adverse effects. The introduction of multi-drug resistance (MDR) also posed a great threat for successful cancer treatment, whereby the tumor cells became resistant to many of the chemotherapeutic agents used. Nanotechnology-based novel chemotherapy opened a new horizon for the treatment of cancer. Particularly, nanoparticle-related medication is a highly potential newcomer for curtailing systemic toxicity via producing functionalized particles for specific treatment. It is also an alternative to circumvent multidrug resistance for possessing an ability to bypass the efflux mechanism correlated with this phenotype. Besides having various advantages in treatment, nanoparticles are also playing a key role in diagnostic entities. This paper aims to specifically outline the role of nanotechnology which it is playing in today’s era in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer with contemporary knowledge. To assess the role of nanoparticles in cancer treatment, this review analyzed all articles published from 2002 to 2021 in both Local and foreign journals. The article’s inclusion criteria were based on the article which contained relevant data regarding applications of nanoparticles in cancer treatment. Articles with copyright, irrelevant information, and lacking the full text were excluded. This paper will highlight the breakthrough, impediments, and prospects of nanoparticles in cancer treatment with an updated review.

This study analyzed physicochemical and bacteriological parameters of packaged water sold in Gilgit city and its vicinity. Samples from source, market, and after the process were collected randomly from three different companies and analyzed from April 2017 to May 2017. Bacteriological parameters include Escherichia coli and Enterococci; it was further examined with conformity tests. The investigated physical parameters included (pH, Turbidity, Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids). Some important chemical parameters like Total phosphorous and Total Nitrogen were assessed through a spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the Physicochemical parameters fell within WHO tolerable limits, pH ranged from 7.0 to 8.4, TDS were observed from 260 ppm to 40 ppm, Electrical conductivity was found between 91 μs-510 μs, Turbidity varied from 0.03 NTU to 0.52 NTU. The Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus range from 0.09 mg/L to 2.09 mg/L and 95 mg/L to 540 mg/L. The bacteriological parameters were unsatisfactory as some of the samples were contaminated with the E. coli and Enterococci. The maximum value for E. coli was 288 CFU/100 ml, and that of the Enterococci was 267 CFU/100 ml, which strongly violates the WHO specifications for bottled drinking water quality. Based on our findings, the Bacteriological examination of some samples is classified under the high-risk category since they are found to be unsafe for drinking. It is recommended there should be strict monitoring and surveillance of bottled water quality; sources should be protected, and awareness should be given to the public regarding its quality.

Agricultural service providers (Agric. SPs) play an essential role in the adoption of promising agricultural technologies by small and medium-sized farms. Similarly, agricultural service provision also generates substantial income for them. The study highlights the role of Agric. SPs in promotion of moisture conservation; soil health and fertility improving technologies at specific sites in Pakistan for three years i.e. from 2015 to 2017. It is based on primary data collected in the year 2018-19 from eighty sampled farmers, which were purposively selected to cover a range of selected technologies. It is found that Agric. SPs-induced adoption of these technologies has increased over time. They achieved considerable success in the promotion of the use of gypsum for moisture conservation and fertilizer placement drill in Pothwar-Punjab, ridge planting of crops in irrigated province Punjab, laser land leveling in irrigated areas of Sindh province, and use of biozote for improving soil fertility in both irrigated and rain-fed areas of Punjab province. These technologies have good income generation potential for Agric. SPs. The article also highlights factors hindering the large-scale adoption of the technologies in the country. Technical and entrepreneurship capacity building of the Agric. SPs in the provision of services to farmers in multiple technologies, and technical feasibility assessment of few technologies to use these for more than one crop are suggested for large-scale adoption of these technologies.
