Authors: Umbreen Faiza , Qamar Khadija , Shaukat Sadia , Khan Maimoona , Malik Sana , Ali Hussain
Published: January 2022

Objective: To evaluate histologically the deposition of iron in the epiphyseal cartilage of offspring’s of dams given iron supplementation during pregnancy and lactation in rat model.

Study Design: Laboratory based experimental study.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Anatomy, Army Medical College, Rawalpindi and National Institute of Health (NIH) Islamabad, from Mar to Nov 2016.

Methodology: In this study, 16 female and 4 male adult rats were chosen for breading. After confirmation of pregnancy, pregnant rats were separated in two groups. One group was given oral iron supplementation for four weeks till delivery and half of the pups fed by mothers who were given iron during lactation. The other group was kept on normal lab diet. Deposition of iron in the epiphyseal cartilage of newborn rats after four weeks was evaluated histologically in pups.

Results: Iron deposition was maximum in group C i.e. 1.30 ± 0.48; in group B it was 0.20 ± 0.44. Statistically significant iron deposition (p<0.001) was observed in the growth plate of off springs when mothers were given iron supplements during pregnancy and lactation.

Conclusion: Present study proves that injudicious iron supplementation through pregnancy results in deposition of iron in epiphyseal growth plate of the fetus and it can have damaging effects on bones of fetus.

Authors: Rahman Asbah , Malik Qudratullah , Ikram Farooq
Published: January 2022

Wilson’s disease (WD) is an important differential to consider in any child presenting with hepatic, neurological or ophthalmological manifestations of the disease. We report here 4 individuals of the same family: 2 paediatric and 2 adult patients with a spectrum of manifestations of the disease presenting to Pak Emirates Military Hospital and Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi, Rawalpindi, from January 2019 and September 2020. The index case had neuro-wilson; the brother was diagnosed preemptively during screening; the father being completely asymptomatic despite markedly raised 24 hours urinary copper levels; and the paternal uncle being diagnosed after many years of manifesting hepatic symptoms. The purpose of this publication is to sensitize the readers to the usage of scoring tools such as the Leipzig score, the importance of regular follow-up and family screening of hereditary diseases. We would also like to highlight the possibility of missed diagnosis with serum Copper levels (S.Copper) which were within normal limits (WNL) in all 4 of our patients; and Serumceruloplasmin (S.ceruloplasmin) levels which were within normal limits in 3\4 of these patients, that are often used as screening tools for WD.

Authors: Mukherjee Roan
Published: January 2022

Background: Reports show that mental wellbeing may be negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ragas of Indian classical music are believed to have therapeutic effects. This study was done to investigate the impact of an Indian raga on mental wellbeing during the COVID-19  pandemic. Materials and Methods: It was a one-group before-after design study. A total of 45 adult subjects of Kolkata, recruited online, using convenience sampling during the lockdown, underwent a pre-test via Google forms using Warwick-Edinburg Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) to evaluate mental wellbeing before the administration of music intervention. After two weeks of music intervention, that consisted of passively listening to raga Hamsadhwani, a post-test using the same scale and the same medium was done. Results: The results showed that the post-test mean of the total score 51.1 (SD = 3.9) of WEMWBS was significantly (p< 0.001) higher than the pre-test mean of the total score 30.9 (SD = 4.6). The same trend was reflected by the mean difference pertaining to all of the components of WEMWBS. Conclusion: It was concluded that raga Hamsadhwani may be effective in improving mental wellbeing in a pandemic situation. There is a need to do more work by improvising the research design employed in the present study. This will help to interpret more accurately and more meaningfully the effects of Indian raga music on mental wellbeing.

Herakleitos’un Logos Felsefesi Bağlamında Panpsişizmin Arkeolojisi
Authors: KÖRPE İbrahim
Published: January 2022

Bu çalışmada Herakleitos’un logos hakkındaki görüşleri ile panpsişizmin zihin kuramı arasında bazı yakın temaslar olduğu iddia edilerek Herakleitos’un logos anlayışının, panpsişizmin zihin kuramının temellerini kuran öğretilerden biri olduğu iddia edilmiştir. Buna göre ilk olarak logos kavramının “genel rasyonel ilke, yasa ya da kural” ve “akılsallık, düşünme yetisi” anlamları üzerinde durulmuştur. Logosun bu anlamlar merkezinde panpsişizmin temel niteliklerinden bir tanesi olan “bilincin temel olduğu” ilkesiyle yakından ilişkili olduğuna değinilmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca logosun insan zihni başta olmak üzere tüm her şeyde ortak olan temel bileşen, unsur olduğuna değinilmiştir. Bu düşüncenin de panpsişizmin ikinci temel niteliği olan, zihinselliğin tüm varlıklarda belirli derecelerde var olan temel nitelik olduğu fikri ile yakın temasının kurulması hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıca panpsişizmin bilimlerde başlangıç noktası itibariyle bilincin ya da zihinselliğin yok sayılmasının yanlış olduğu eleştirisinin, Herakleitos’un “çok şey bilmenin bilgelik olmadığı” görüşü ile yakın temas içinde olduğuna değinilmiştir. Buna göre Herakleitos açısından logosu idrak etmeden bilmek bilgelik değildir. Panpsişizm açısından da bilimler başlangıç noktasında metot olarak “gerçekte var olanın fiziksel olduğu” ön kabulünü benimsedikleri ve “doğanın temel niteliği olarak” bilinci, zihinselliği yok saydıkları için yöntemsel bir yanlış içindedir.

Published: January 2022

Several vaccines have been approved against COVID-19 infectious disease and are being given to pop-ulations in different regions of the world. But, the number of people getting vaccines are quite less than the targeted population for whom the vaccines are being kept for immunization purpose. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the attitude and perceived risk towards COVID-19 vaccination decision in Bangladesh. An exploratory population-based survey was conducted among 186 general individuals chosen purposively from the metropolitan area of Dhaka. The survey was conducted using a structured and self-administered questionnaire. Multiple linear regression technique was performed to determine the variables predicting immunization decision. The findings reflect a significant positive attitude along with insignificant risk-taking behaviour towards COVID-19 immunization decision among the general population in Bangladesh.

EVALUATION OF THE INDOOR AIR VELOCITY OF A SIDEWALL INLET AND ROOF EXHAUST VENTILATED BROILER SHED USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS
Authors: Jongbo Ayoola , Atta Adekunle T. , Moorcroft Ian
Published: January 2022

Fast-growing broiler chickens, bred for meat, find it difficult to adapt to warm conditions during hot weather periods in an enclosed environment. They tend to change their behavioural and physiological mechanisms to survive. This study was carried out to evaluate the air velocity distributions within a sidewall inlet and roof exhaust ventilated broiler shed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The simulation was conducted using three turbulence models (standard, realizable, and SST ) to determine the best predictive model for the hot weather ventilation of the broiler shed under consideration. The results predicted by the turbulence models were validated with the field experimental results. It was discovered that the standard turbulence model predicted air velocity distributions, close to that of the air velocity distributions obtained during the experimental study except at the centre of the broiler shed where the CFD predicted higher air velocity. This shows that CFD could be adopted by Agricultural Engineers to create appropriate environments for animals before the structures are physically erected.

Authors: Barboza-Argüello María de la Paz , Benavides-Lara Adriana
Published: January 2022

Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar la tendencia de los diferentes tipos de defectos congénitos en la tasa de mortalidad infantil y neonatal en Costa Rica durante el período 2010-2018 con respecto al primer período 2000-2009.Métodos. Se realizó un análisis de estadísticas vitales. La fuente de información fue el Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos de Costa Rica, mediante su sistema de acceso público y consulta en línea, se consultó la base de defunciones por causa y la base de nacimientos para el período 2000-2018. Las causas de defunción por defectos congénitos se agruparon por sistemas, además se seleccionaron los defectos de mayor mortalidad en el periodo de estudio para su análisis específico. Para describir el comportamiento de la mortalidad infantil por defectos congénitos de 2010-2018 con respecto al decenio anterior, se calcularon tasas de mortalidad infantil y neonatal para los períodos 2000-2009 y 2010-2018 con su respectivo intervalo de confianza (IC95%). Se construyó un modelo de regresión Poisson Log lineal para cada grupo de defectos congénitos y para los defectos específicos seleccionados, tomando como factor de ajuste los subperíodos comparados. Se estimaron razones de prevalencias y se compararon mediante chi cuadrado de Wald usando como base el período 2000-2009. Resultados. En las últimas dos décadas, los defectos congénitos causaron 29% a 38% de la mortalidad infantil general. La tasa de mortalidad infantil por defectos congénitos durante 2000-2009 fue 3,19 (IC95%: 3,1-3,3) y descendió significativamente a 2,97 (IC95%: 2,8-3,1) en el período 2010-2018. Esta disminución se dio a expensas de la afectación de los sistemas circulatorio y digestivo. Al analizar la mortalidad infantil por defectos congénitos específicos, se demostró una disminución significativa únicamente en espina bífida y algunos defectos cardiacos: transposición de grandes arterias, defecto septal ventricular, coartación aorta y otras anomalías cardiacas no especificadas. La tasa de mortalidad neonatal por defectos congénitos no varió significativamente entre los períodos comparados, en 2000-2009 fue 2,13 (IC95%: 2,0-2,2) y 2,17 (IC95%: 2,1-2,3) en 2010-2018. El único grupo de defectos congénitos que presentó una disminución significativa en la tasa de mortalidad neonatal en la última década fue el sistema circulatorio. Conclusiones. En la última década se presentó una disminución significativa de la tasa de mortalidad infantil por defectos congénitos. Este descenso obedeció principalmente a una disminución significativa en las tasas de mortalidad infantil y neonatal por defectos cardiacos.

Objetivo: Determinar las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y terapéuticas de los pacientes con enfermedad oncológica atendidos en el Hospital Nacional de Niños “Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera”, que recibieron radioterapia externa, durante el periodo de enero de 2015 a diciembre de 2016.

Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de una serie de casos de pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico oncológico, que recibieron radioterapia y fueron atendidos durante un periodo de 2 años. Se revisaron los expedientes clínicos para la obtención de los datos de manera retrospectiva, de acuerdo con las variables de interés. Se registraron datos demográficos, el tipo de tumor, el sitio anatómico irradiado, la necesidad de anestesia y el tiempo de espera. Se aplicó un análisis descriptivo de las variables cualitativas y cuantitativas.

Resultados: Se analizaron un total de 117 pacientes quienes recibieron radioterapia, de los cuales un 59.0% fueron hombres. La edad promedio fue de 7,7 años. Las leucemias y el grupo de los tumores cerebrales fueron los tipos de tumores más frecuentemente irradiados; siendo el sistema nervioso central el sitio anatómico más tratado, en 56 pacientes (40.6%). La radioterapia curativa fue más frecuente que la paliativa. En 34 pacientes (29.1%) se requirió de anestesia. Todos los pacientes tuvieron que esperar para el inicio de su tratamiento y en una minoría se registró el motivo en relación con una condición no clínica del paciente.

Conclusiones: En oncología pediátrica, la radioterapia es una modalidad de tratamiento utilizada mayoritariamente con carácter curativo en pacientes de diferentes edades y ambos sexos, principalmente con diagnóstico de tumores cerebrales y leucemia; algunos pacientes de corta edad pueden requerir anestesia durante el tratamiento. En una minoría de pacientes, se atribuyó a factores no clínicos el tiempo de espera para el inicio de su tratamiento.

Published: January 2022

O estudo desta pesquisa é sobre os atos de improbidade administrativa frente ao rompimento dos princípios da administração pública. Com os efeitos da punibilidade nos casos de improbidade ainda há a quebra dos princípios da administração pública garantidos na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988 feito pelo rompimento dos atos probos dos agentes encarregados pelas ações de atividades públicas. Foi feito uma discussão qualitativa sobre o artigo nº 37 da Constituição que apresenta expressamente os princípios da Legalidade, Impessoalidade, Moralidade, Publicidade e da Eficiência, também tem os princípios implícitos que estão dispersos em legislações e lei infraconstitucional. Sobre a temática em pauta foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico com ideologias dos autores; Andreucci (1999), Gonçalves (2012), Delgado (2008), Sarlet (2018), entre outros. Conclui-se que é importante apresentar uma pesquisa que demonstre que, não somente, são rompidos os preceitos da Lei de Improbidade Administrativa pelo desvios nos atos de improbidades previstas, mas também, deve-se analisar que há o rompimento também dos preceitos legais dos agentes públicos quando os mesmos não observam os princípios legais da administração pública no Brasil.

Published: January 2022

Exclusive breastfeeding practice in Ngombol public health center is below the regency target which was only 54.4% from 80% in Purworejo in 2019. Program to improve exclusive breastfeeding such as counseling is one of the best ways to increase community participation as this is a crucial phase to fulfill newborn nutrition needs. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of media counseling on increasing breastfeeding practice and improving newborn weight in the first-month-old. We created a quasi-experimental design with one group pre-test and a post-test with a control group design. Of 40 post-partum mothers and newborns were recruited in this study. Data collection was gathered such as socio-demography, breastfeeding observation form, and newborn’s weight both before and after the one-month intervention. The intervention group had been counseled with media such as leaflets, breastfeeding flipcharts, breast props, and newborn dolls. On the other hand, the control group had no received counseling with media. A statistical paired t-test test was created to find the association between those variables using SPSS 20.0 for windows. The mean average of newborn weight after the intervention was 1,005.55 g and 964,50 g for the intervention and control group, respectively. There were differences before and after a month of giving exclusive breastfeeding between the control and intervention groups (p<0.001). Mothers in the intervention group had 80% achieved minimum recommended weight gain (≥800 g/month). Exclusive breastfeeding counseling with media has an impact on improving newborn weight at the first-month-old in Ngombol Public health Center, Purworejo-Indonesia. Using media during breastfeeding counseling regularly may help the awareness and knowledge of exclusive breastfeeding for mothers, yet improve breastfeeding practice.
We are what we grow: reading a tastescape as a text of cultural history
Authors: Wessell Adele
Published: January 2022

Landscapes provide a layered, textured historical record of cultural change inscribed

with meanings that can be harvested in the making of cultural histories. This paper

explores the possibility of reading the landscape as a gastronomic text that records

cultural dynamics and change over time. What food we eat, and why we eat the food

the way we do, shapes the landscape. Eating in this sense is also an agricultural act; the

landscape is shaped by consumption and production. Influenced by a number of

scholars with an environmental interest (Berry 1990, Petrini 2001), my attention in this

article is directed towards the impact of changing tastes on land in Koonorigan,

Northern New South Wales, Australia. My home provides a starting point for exploring

the possibilities of reading the landscape as a ‘tastescape’ and the insights this offered

that could be considered for other places, different times. A tastescape, moreover, is

transnational; a landscape created by tastes not necessarily conditioned by the location

but linked elsewhere, to other cultures, ideas and histories that act to construct places.

Eating is an agricultural act that brings together these interconnections inscribed on the

landscape. The intention is to extend Brillat-Savarin’s aphorism to the foodsheds from

which meals are drawn: ‘Tell me what you grow; I will tell you who you are’.
Enter ghosts, authors and translators

In the light of psychoanalysis, writing may be understood as a doubling of the absent. Starting from this premise, and grounding it in personal experience, my paper explores the fundamental nature of translation. I argue that the processof ethical translation has an ontological dimension that involves a twofold doubling, or double ghosting. The act of translating indeed entails both a reading and a writing, and therefore a ghosting of the voice at first and second removes.
COVID-19 and Politics of Representation: A CSA of Pakistani Print Media Semiotic Discourses
Authors: Akbar Dr. Sajid , Nazir Memoona , Tayyab Muhammad , Shehzadi Kiran
Published: January 2022

Print media discourses are highly polarized. Different linguistic and meta-linguistic moves are employed to represent the same issue under different socio-political themes. This study decodes the semiotic discourses of two (02) Pakistani English and Urdu newspapers (Dawn & Jang) about the representation of COVID-19 related issues. This has been done to broaden the canvas of the research by including English and Urdu newspapers’ readership.  The time span for data collection ranges from March 15, 2020, to May 15, 2020. The integrated research approach used in the study has been devised by drawing upon Kress (2010) and Krueger (2001) to analyze the data at linguistic and semiotic levels. The findings of semiotic analysis have been validated through focus group discussions on the selected cartoons from English and Urdu newspapers.  The findings of the research reveal that the representation of COVID- 19 related issues varies in English and Urdu newspapers.  The most frequently occurred themes in English newspapers about the representation of covid19 related issues include economic downfall, danger to the worlds’ economy, the clash between America and China, delays in vaccine production, and food and health insecurity at national and international levels. On contrary, the Urdu newspapers highlighted the issues related to corruption, the oil crisis, a satire on the general masses for not observing SOPs, a satire on health ministry, and poverty increase because of lockdown policies. The research contends that semiotic discourses are the best sites for ideological investment and are designed keeping in view the target audience.

All antioxidant parameters were investigated spectrophotometrically: total content of polyphenols (TPC), the total content of phenolic acids (TPAC), the total content of flavonoids (TFC), molybdenum reducing power of extracts (MRP), and antioxidant activity by DPPH method (DPPH). Investigation of ethanolic extracts demonstrated that TPC varied from 57.89 to 123.67 mg/g gallic acid equivalent (GAE) DW for Th. pulegioides, from 61.43 to 168.18 mg GAE/g for Th. serpyllum, and from 47.36 to 115.67 mg GAE/g for Th. vulgaris. TPAC ranged from 27.36 to 50.22 mg/g caffeic acid equivalent (CAE) DW for Th. pulegioides, from 28.58 to 59.62 mg CAE/g for Th. serpyllum, and from 22.95 to 53.82 mg CAE/g for Th. vulgaris. TFC was determined in a range from 29.88 to 61.23 mg/g quercetin equivalent (QE) DW for Th. pulegioides, from 36.0 to 82.43 mg QE/g for Th. serpyllum, and from 24.59 to 55.41 mg QE/g for Th. vulgaris. MRP was detected in the range of 94.65 – 204.76 mg/g Trolox equivalent (TE) DW for Th. pulegioides, 96.06 – 219.0 mg TE/g for Th. serpyllum, and 87.56 – 215.43 mg TE/g for Th. vulgaris. The antioxidant activity of extracts by the DPPH method was 6.34 – 9.23 mg TE/g for Th. pulegioides, 8.11 – 9.21 mg TE/g for Th. serpyllum, and 4.97 – 9.53 mg TE/g for Th. vulgaris. It was established that polyphenol accumulation depended on the growth stage and species. For all species was found a strong correlation between TPC and TFC (r = 0.938, 0.908, and 0.854). Investigated Thymus spp. are a valuable source of antioxidants that can be used in pharmacological studies and the food industry.
Role of Economy as Social Institution in Cholistan Desert

Cholistan is the second largest desert of Pakistan with semi-nomadic culture. Based on its landscape, Cholistan is divided into two parts, i.e., Greater and Lesser Cholistan. This study review highlights the economic activities of native people of Cholistan, challenges faced by people and ways to improve the economic standard of native people. Due to its rough terrain, Cholistan is hardly accessible from outside except specialized vehicles. The entire Cholistan is the least populated area and the existing population is scattered among sand dunes. Cholistan is deprived of socio-economic development and hence there is a lack of basic amenities of life such as drinking water, food, education, healthcare and housing. Due to the scarcity of irrigation water and the landscape of Cholistan, there is hardly any possibility of agri-farming and production grains for livelihood. Animal herds are a major source of livelihood and sustenance for the people of Cholistan. Local people own larger herds of cows, camels, goats and sheep, which are vital for survival, i.e., food sources and money for purchasing necessities. Cholistani people do not possess formal education and skills and are unable to avail any job opportunity in the formal sector. As a result, Cholistani people are choiceless except to depend upon animal husbandry. All the family members, including women, participate in animal husbandry and other small scale agri-farming for earning a livelihood. Life is simple, and daily needs of local people are very limited, and economic activities are few in Cholistan. Social institution is playing their role to educate the people and fulfilling the economic needs of the Cholistani people.
Paul Moses: The Saint and the Sultan: The Crusades, Islam, and Francis of Assisi’s Mission of Peace
Authors: Marcinkowski Christoph
Published: January 2022

This book by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York journalist Paul Moses retells the story of a meeting that took place in the summer of 1219 during the Fifth Crusade (1213-21) between Saint Francis of Assisi - one of the best-loved saints of Catholic Christianity - and the Ayyubid Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil (r. 1218-38) in the Egyptian city of Damietta at the mouth of the Nile. In a dangerous and daring move by crossing enemy lines to advocate peace, St Francis and Malik al-Kamil shared a brief dialogue about war, peace and faith in the One God. The conversation inspired St Francis to return home with a bold challenge to his fellow Christians: to live peacefully with the Muslims despite the war between their religious leaders and to stop warfare of any kind.

Published: January 2022

This article is an attempt to compare the teachings of Confucius and Islam, specifically The Four Books, which are authoritative works on Confucius, and the original sources of Islam, Qur’an and Sunnah. The Four Books are the most quoted sources of Confucius’ thought, namely The Great Learning (Da Xue), The Doctrine of the Mean (Zhong Yong), The Confucian Analects (Lun Yu) and The Works of Mencius (Mengzi). The focus shall be on the concept of family and filial piety as found in Confucianism and Qur’an and Sunnah. Both the teachings of Confucius and Islam emphasise the importance of virtues, ties and order in the family system, for example, the husband is the head of the family and responsible for the family’s existence and security. Islam and Confucianism are both patriarchal, and the husband and men are protectors of the family and deserve much respect. Young members of the family must respect and obey the elders and vice versa. To Confucius, these virtues are the heavenly way and must be
