Authors: Roy Nadeem , Tanveer Moazzam , Liu Ying-Hai
Published: September 2022

Background: The contagious COVID-19 coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan city of China and its rapid spreading led to the historic nationwide lockdown of China from January to April 2020, which imposed a heavy impact on both the routine life and the mental health. The international students studying in China experienced this lockdown, during which their stress, anxiety and the coping strategies employed need to be explored.

Methods: One hundred international students studying in different provinces/cities in China were surveyed by completing online questionnaire to evaluate the stress and anxiety and to identify the factors responsible for the stress and the effective coping strategies used during the nationwide lockdown of China.

Results: The study reveals that 84% of the students were worried about the pandemic while 70% of students were observed to be stressed at the self-identified medium level during the nationwide lockdown. Factors closely related to study performance were the most influential for international students. Indoor aerobic physical exercises were most widely employed by international students to cope with stress. In this study, we also noticed that 15% of international students did not do any particular activities to cope with stress or use alcohol or smoking as a stress-coping strategy.

Conclusion: The study recommends that international students in China need to be trained and educated in stress awareness and coping to improve their physical and mental health for better academic performance during an emergency situation like a nationwide lockdown.
Novel Corona Virus and the Case of Novel Discrimination Based on ‘Feared Medical Condition’
Authors: Abbas Hafiz Ghulam , Sajjad Muhammad , Hussain Khalid
Published: September 2022

Covid-19 has caused not only a worldwide health crisis but also triggered issues on social, economic, legal and political fronts in novel embodiments. Already rampant online hate-speech against migrants, foreign workers and victims of xenophobia has taken new dimensions. Since outbreak of Covid-19 outside Chinese borders, there are numerous reported incidents, which continue to take place, around the world where people of Asian descent have been targeted by hate-mongers, hurled at racial slurs and, at mild scale, refused entry into hotels and restaurants being labelled as carriers of virus – generally a phenomenon described as ‘Sinophobia’ denoting hate towards Chinese ethnicity. However, in the present case, the issue of discrimination due to fear of being infected is unique and distinct from other forms of discrimination based on race, religion, sex, ethnicity, language etc. Racial discrimination is outlawed under international conventions, notably the Convention on Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), and state parties are required to undertake appropriate legislation to eliminate it.  Present crisis caused by Covid-19 has triggered a novel kind of discrimination which is not anchored, strictly speaking, in religious, ethnic or racial context but is based on a Feared Medical Condition (FMC) that an individual or group infected or likely to be infected can be responsible for transmission of the virus or disease to others. The objective of present study is to examine whether this peculiar type of discrimination is covered by selected instruments of international on human rights. If so, what are states’ responsibilities in eliminating such discrimination. The research employs analytical and qualitative method, and is followed by a conclusion and recommendations.

Authors: Shah Dr. Rehmat , Khan Muhammad Asghar , Hussain Dr. Sajjad , Khan Dr. Sarfaraz
Published: September 2022

A country's long-term success depends on educating its citizens. Madrassas are Islamic educational institutes in Pakistan. The media's coverage of Pakistani madrasas' violations of children's rights, particularly in the areas of freedom of expression and corporal punishment, is contentious. Punishment that is based on bodily suffering is known as corporal punishment. The goal of this research was to establish how Pakistani madrasas implement their students' rights to freedom of speech and to avoid corporal punishment. This qualitative study explored the phenomenon of madrasa education in depth with regard to freedom of expression and corporal punishment. The population of this study includes all students and teachers in the Madrasa education system. A purposive sampling technique was used to pick eight students and eight teachers from  madrasas in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews were used to obtain data that was collected by hand. The direct quotation method was used to analyse the data. According to the findings, the majority of madrasas allow for the free expression of pupils. The data indicated that, although the Madrasa's administration listens to and appropriately addresses student complaints about teachers, the vast majority of students do not complain about teachers. In Madrasa, it is discovered that misbehaving pupils are counselled, motivated, and finally punished. It was revealed that teachers feel that madrasas can tolerate discipline because the dread of punishment encourages students to achieve their best in the classroom. The conclusion may be drawn that some students, particularly in pre-courses, are unable to openly express their concerns, while others, with the help of friends and the guidance of teachers, are able to overcome their reluctance.

Published: September 2022

The prime objective of this research was to investigate English language teachers’ perceptions regarding code-switching and code-mixing as scaffoldings in teaching L2 speaking skills of the BS students enrolled in different public and private universities and colleges of Multan and Bahawalpur Districts. This article was completed by employing the quantitative data analysis approach. 250 male and female English language teachers responded positively during the academic calendar of 2021. Questionnaire was the tool for data collection that was structured in which the respondents were requested to specify their level of endorsement or disagreement on four-point rating scale. The results and findings of the study data indicated that all the teachers were unanimously agreed and said “Yes” on all the statements of the questionnaire. The evaluated data disclosed that English language teachers disclosed that code-switching and code-mixing in L2 classrooms has favorable impacts on L2 teaching and learning. Results of this article also show that English language teachers’ code-switching and code-mixing help them to pass the information to the students easily. Additionally, most of the teachers also agreed and delivered a highly positive attitude regarding code-switching and code-mixing as they feel that their students feel relaxed and happy during teachers’ code-switching/ code-mixing in L2 atmosphere. The reason behind this concept is as teachers’ code-switching and code-mixing decreases the pressure of L2 language on B.S English students. In addition to this approach, English language teachers’ code-switching and code-mixing make L2 learners bilingual rather multilingual.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ДНК ПРИ РАССЛЕДОВАНИИ ПРЕСТУПЛЕНИЙ
Authors: Duberbayev D.M.
Published: September 2022

Статья посвящена вопросу эффективности ДНК-анализа, Затрагиваются вопросы по исследуемой теме, касательно систем криминалистической ДНК-регистрации. В статье проведен краткий сравнительный анализ отечественного и европейского законодательств в аспекте рассматриваемой проблемы. Значительное внимание в работе уделяется относительно новому методу идентификации личности - ДНК-дактилоскопии, используемому в судебной экспертизе. Обосновывается идея о том, что эффективное использование геномной информации в практике уголовного расследования во многом зависит от квалификационного применения наработанной базы данных ДНК. На основании анализа формирования или дополнения национальных баз данных ДНК, на примере Республики Казахстан проиллюстрированы правоприменительные особенности Закона Республики Казахстан за № 40-VI “О дактилоскопической и геномной регистрации”. Автор приходит к выводу, что повышение эффективности работы базы данных ДНК напрямую зависит от количества содержащихся в ней генотипов. В качестве исследовательской задачи, в статье предпринята попытка оценить правомерность ряда статей, касающихся, в частности, сроков хранения генотипов после смерти лица, подвергшегося геномной регистрации или же лица, в отношении которого был вынесен оправдательный приговор. В статье обращается особое внимание на необходимость принятия мер правового, организационного и технического характера, нацеленных на защиту геномной информации и исключения несанкционированного доступа к ней. Определены проблемы использования геномной информации, включая этическую и правовую стороны, требующие дальнейшего проведения дополнительных научных исследований.

Background: Fetal growth restriction can occur at any gestational period and is affected by maternal, placental and environmental factors. These factors can cause neonatal mortality or morbidity and long term sequalae. Thereby it is important to assess the nutritional status at birth. Clinical assessment of nutrition status score (CAN) assessment based on birth centile became important. Objectives: Aim was to compare CAN score and BMI birth centiles using pre-designated cut offs for assessing fetal nutrition. Materials and Methods: 1000 newborns cross-Sectional descriptive study. Department of Paediatrics, K.S. Hegde Medical Academy, Mangalore. Nov-2015 to June-2017. Inclusion criteria included term neonates with gestational age >37 completed weeks of gestation by dates or ultra-sonogram.  Neonates with major congenital malformation or syndromes were excluded.  Results: Out of 1000 newborns, 259 newborns (25.9%) had BMI below 10th centile out of which 99(9.9%) had BMI less than 3rd centile suggesting severe malnutrition. Malnutrition as per CAN Score was seen in 319(31.9%) infants. When CAN score and BMI was compared, among the 353 babies who had CAN score less than 25 indicating FM, only 129(36.5%) had BMI less than 10th  centile. In 130 of the 259 infants with BMI less than 10th centile, CAN score was normal.

Introducción. La satisfacción de las comunidades sobre la cobertura de sus necesidades básicas y el desempeño de los gobiernos municipales deben considerarse en los planes de desarrollo. Se evaluó la percepción al respecto entre los pobladores en dos comunidades rurales en Honduras. Métodos. Se aplicó un cuestionario de 16 preguntas sobre acceso al agua consumible, infraestructura, educación básica, gestión de las autoridades municipales y aspectos relacionados a condiciones de vida. Se entrevistó a 114 familias de dos comunidades adyacentes del Municipio de Guaimaca, Francisco Morazán, atendidas en una brigada médica. Resultados. El 91% de familias reportó acceso a agua –especialmente de pozo–, 22% tenía niños que no iban a la escuela, 79% reportó tener casas construidas con materiales adecuados y 71% de los jefes de hogar tenía trabajo. El alfabetismo contribuyó a la posibilidad de que los jefes de hogar tuvieran trabajo remunerado. El 43% de hogares tenía indicadores de estar bajo la línea de pobreza. Sólo 19% conocía la existencia de apoyo por la alcaldía para emprendimientos y 62% opinó que no se estaba gestionando ayuda externa para el desarrollo.

Assessing nursing students’ digital literacy at the entry-level is vital to ascertain their abilities to use digital technologies. This study aimed to assess basic digital literacy among first-year nursing students at a selected university in South Africa.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from 1st March 2019 to 31st May 2019 at a university in South Africa. The population consisted of 82 nursing students from the first-year students in the 4-year nursing programme. The convenience sampling technique was used to determine the participants of this study, and 76 respondents completed a structured questionnaire. Data were analysed descriptively using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS®) software (version 25) from the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM®). A reliability test of the instrument was conducted, and Cronbach Alpha was 0.85.Results: The students’ digital literacy included: (i) basic computer skills — performing basic computer operations, MS Word and PowerPoint; (ii) internet skills — using e-mail, Moodle®, social media platforms, accessibility to the internet; and internet searches (iii) digital device usage — desktop, laptops, tablets and smartphones. Overall, the mean for internet skills was 3.61 (SD = ±0.62), 3.11 (SD = ±0.85) for computer skills, and 3.00 (SD = ±0.47) for digital device usage. Computer skills was positively correlated with internet skills (r = 0.278, p = .012) and computer skills corrected with digital device usage (r = 0.384, p < .001). The overall score for internet skills was higher in the female group than in males, with the mean of 4.00 (SD = ±0.62) and 3.61 (SD = ±0.54), respectively (t74 = -0.405, p = .019). Furthermore, the overall score for digital device usage was higher in the age group of 20 years and above with a mean of 3.19 (SD = ±0.38) than in the age group under 20 with a mean of 2.90 (SD = ±0.48), and those differences were statistically significant (t74 = -2.420, p = .018).Conclusions: An adequate digital literacy at the entry-level of the nursing programme is a foundation and a critical factor to academic success and future use of technology in nursing education and practice. Having adequate digital literacy among nursing students would positively impact their ability to perform electronic documentation, communicate and collaborate, and search for information to support evidence-based practice.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme levels and lumbar degenerative spinal diseases (LDSD).Materials and Methods: Ninety-four patients with LDSD and 64 patients without LDSD were investigated. Human SOD ELISA kits were used to measure the amount of enzymes in the samples. Serum SOD enzyme levels were determined by Student-t and Mann Whitney-U tests to determine differences between groups.Results: The patient group was classified according to the characteristics of the disease, clinical symptoms, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) values, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores. Along with these parameters, serum SOD levels were evaluated statistically. There was no statistically significant difference in serum SOD levels in both groups. However, serum SOD levels were relatively lower in the patient group (p>0.05).Conclusions: Our study could supply objective value for future researchers investigating specific lumbar diseases, should they attempt to find a serum biomarker for the disease. More studies with an increasing number of patients are needed to support the results of our study. Doing so may offer more specific insights on the mechanisms of LDSD and its features, which could contribute to the literature.
De gados e homens: a carne processada na obra de Ana Paula Maia
Authors: Barros Lidiana de Oliveira , Coutinho Fernanda Maria Abreu
Published: September 2022

A obra De gados e homens (2013), da escritora Ana Paula Maia, convida-nos a refletir sobre o consumo da carne numa sociedade capitalista moderna. Da carne dos trabalhadores precarizados no matadouro, corpos estes moldados no processo de trabalho, ao abate dos animais produtores de carne destinada às fábricas de hambúrguer. Diante dessa perspectiva, o texto literário nos permite pensar os impactos ambientais e sociais gerados por abatedouros. No contexto onde o crescimento da fome coincide com um pico na exportação de carne bovina, o romance de Maia emerge como uma obra atual no país. Este trabalho pretende, portanto, examinar a interação entre natureza e ação humana na narrativa, buscando compreender as diversas complexidades que a permeiam. Nas reflexões ora propostas, reconhecemos que a carne explícita na obra de Maia surge atravessada por inscrições políticas e culturais. Nesse sentido, sob o viés dos estudos animais no texto literário, o trabalho fundamenta-se nas contribuições de Vânia Márcia Damasceno Nogueira (2012), Peter Singer (2013), Gabriel Giorgi (2015) e Carol J. Adams (2018).

Son yıllarda doğal ve hafif agregaların inşaat endüstrisinde kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Özelikle hafif agregalarla üretilen kompozit yapıda yalıtım amaçlı hafif harç uygulamaları günümüzün önemli konularından birisi haline gelmiştir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada hafif agrega kategorisinde değerlendirilebilecek ülkemizde rezerv potansiyeli olan, ancak sadece tarım sektöründe kullanımı bilinen Vermikülitler ana hammadde olarak kullanılmıştır. Çimento esaslı Vermikülit agregalı polimer katkılı harç karışım tasarımları yapılarak bir dizi sıva numunesi üzerinde analizler yapılmıştır. Ayrıca deneysel çalışmada teknik mukayesenin yapılabilmesi için bu örnekler vermikülit agregalı polimer bileşensiz hazırlanan kontrol örnekleri ile analiz sonuçları karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre polimer bileşenli kompozit harç örneklerinin sırasıyla, kuru birim hacim ağırlık değerleri 560 kg/m3- 659 kg/m3 arasında, basınç dayanım değerleri 0,94 N/mm2-1,81 N/mm2 arasında, kapiler su emme oranları 0,328 kg/m2dak0.5-0,249 kg/m2dak0.5, ısı iletkenlik katsayıları ise 0,083 W/mK-0,094 W/mK olarak ölçülmüştür. Kontrol örneklerinde ise sırasıyla teknik bulgular 780 kg/m3, 2,64 N/mm2, 1,620 kg/m2dak0.5, 0,156 W/mK olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar bize ısı işlem görmüş vermikülit agreganın özellikle polimer katkı ile kullanımları durumunda, birim hacim ağırlığı düşük ısı yalıtımlı kompozit harç üretimlerinde değerlendirilebileceğini göstermiştir.

Kanser, hücrelerin kontrolsüz çoğalması sonucunda meydana gelmektedir. Farklı kanser türleri olmakla birlikte mide kanseri dünyada en çok görülen kanser türleri arasında yer almaktadır. Mide kanserine karşı birçok tedavi yaklaşımı geliştirilmiştir. Ancak günümüzde kullanılan tedavi yöntemleri, kanser hücrelerini öldürmekle birlikte sağlıklı hücrelere de zarar vermektedir. Kullanılan tedavi yöntemlerinin dezavantajlarından dolayı bitkisel tedavi yaklaşımları kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Elettaria Cardamomum (E. Cardamomum) (kakule) ekstraktında bulunun Diindolilmetan (DIM) ve indol-3-karbinol (I3C) molekülleri hormon yolaklarını baskılayarak kanser hücrelerini öldürdüğü literatürde belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, E. Cardamomum ve proleukin ilaç kombinasyonlarının AGS, J774, THP-1 hücre hatları üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, kakule ekstraktında bulunan I3C ve DIM molekülleri sayesinde AGS mide kanseri hücre hattında yüksek sitotoksik etkiye sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir. Kakule ekstraktı ile kombine edilen proleukin ilacının ise AGS hücrelerinde kakule ekstraktının tek başına kullanımına göre daha fazla öldürme oranına sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.
An Invigorating Perspective of a Practical Aspect of NoSQL Database
Authors: Begum Shaida
Published: September 2022

The main problem has been managing databases because they are continuously expanding quickly and getting more complicated in terms of volume, variety, and velocity. Currently, Relational Database Management Systems (RDMS), also known as SQL, or traditional search engines are primarily used to manage and utilize data collection. Due to their highly semantic properties and applications, relational databases have emerged as powerful and superior during the previous two decades. The handling of a high volume of data and the variability in data type and structure has become a laborious task since Big Data entered the IT industry. Relational databases are inadequate to handle such big data due to their rigid data limitations, structure, relations, and other factors. As a result, data aggregation is rendered impossible. NoSQL databases offer a practical and understandable foundation for combining massive amounts of data, structures, and interactions. Data modeling and migration are now needed in order to define the issue. There isn't yet a tool for switching from relational to no-SQL databases. For this migration, relational (SQL) database queries must be converted to NoSQL database queries. Since relational databases (RDBMS) have found it difficult to keep up with modernization, NoSQL has emerged as the most practical database. This essay aims to highlight and assess the applications of NoSQL, the notion of NoSQL data modeling, and the NoSQL database migration procedure.

Authors: Bilagi Akshata
Published: September 2022

The current study addresses the management of human resources in service businesses where staff is important to achieving policies, goals, and objectives in a straightforward and understandable manner. They are crucial for the development of an organization because they ignite the creative and productive spark. The stages of a career program are discussed in the paper along with career growth. It examines how an individual's work has changed over time, highlighting the stages of exploration (trying out new roles), establishment, maintenance, and descent. It also examines how activities relate to an individual's chronological age as well as the relative level of involvement and influence that is associated with each stage. Any endeavor needs representatives, and since the product undertaking is a topto-bottom undertaking, bringing in the representatives, especially important skilled Staff will become problematic in a serious unique situation. Supply forecasting allows for the selection of HR's accessibility to meet those needs, whether from within the office or from the external work commercial center. Making preparations for human resources is focused on filling any gaps that may arise for those resources. Regardless of whether they are over the commercial activity or in precise hierarchical levels, specialized capacities. A redistribution model can aid in determining the cost and time required for the executives to prepare the assets. This research article makes a genuine effort to examine HR planning and improvement as they relate to managing capability for software organizations and to identify the benefits of HR strategies.

Assessment of Covariance Selection Methods in High-Dimensional Gaussian Graphical Models
Authors: Maldonado J. , Ruiz S. M.
Published: September 2022

The covariance selection in Gaussian graphical models consists in selecting, based on a sample of a multivariate normal vector, all those pairs of variables that are conditionally dependent given the remaining variables. This problem is equivalent to estimate the graph identifying the nonzero elements on the off-diagonal entries of the precision matrix. There are different proposals to carry out covariance selection in high-dimensional Gaussian graphical models, such as neighborhood selection and Glasso, among others. In this paper we introduce a methodology for evaluating the performance of graph estimators, defining the notion of non-informative estimator. Through a simulation study, the empirical behavior of Glasso in different structures of the precision matrix is investigated and its performance is analyzed according to different degrees of density of the graph. Our proposal can be used for other covariance selection methods.

Published: September 2022

The goal of our study is to increase public awareness of natural contraceptives and their powerful advantages over surgical abortion in order to provide people with an alternative method of ending an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy rather than the dreaded surgical procedure. Since ancient times, traditional remedies have been used all across the world to control fertility. Still, the tribal community mostly relies on these herbs for contraception and to cause abortions. The belief in therapeutic approaches has not been diminished despite the tremendous advancement of allopathic treatment because of its negative side effects.  Plants and herbs have been used to induce abortions, although there is very little published information on the most regularly used ones. The grail of this paper is to detail the herbal products used to cause abortion.
