Political Existence and Question of Historical Agency: Performance of Pakistan People’s Party in Punjab (1999-2018)
Authors: Muhammad Yasir Ali
Published: December 2022

Pakistan People’s Party has gone through difficult times since 1999. They went through split in the parliamentary party by giving birth to ‘parliamentarians’, lost leadership, attained power and experienced the lowest electoral score in the political history between 1999 and 2018. These two decades have been crucial not only for the Pakistan People’s Party but also for the overall political development in Pakistan. Enforcement of emergency, introduction of ‘enlightened moderation’, war on terror, charter of democracy, eighteenth amendment and above all the slogan of ‘tabdili’ accredit this era for a deeper analysis of the events. Plethora of work has been done on the political, social and economic aspects of this period in the political history of Pakistan. This paper analyses the relationship of political existence with the historical agency to understand the events of political success and failure in the light of historical standards of existence. It defines the historical standards on the basis of sociocultural dynamics of society and on the basis of these standards analyses the performance of Pakistan People’s Party. It argues for the deterministic presence of History as an agent in the social and political development. This paper extends the argument, while answering the question of nature of socio-cultural and historical relevance of a political party, to the understanding of existing material on political development, understanding of socio-cultural transitions and by understanding the emerging socio-cultural realities. It concludes the discussion with linking the performance of Pakistan People’s Party with the historical dimension.

Published: December 2022

Liposomes are the nano-scale bilayer structure of phospholipid used as a carrier for a Large Variety of drugs. Both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs can encapsulate into the liposome and delivered to the body. The purpose behind the preparation of liposomes is to reduce the side effects associated with systemic delivery of drugs as well as it also helps in the protection of biodegradable drugs and molecules such as protein and peptides from body enzymes and fluids. Other than these advantages liposome also have high skin permeation due to structural similarities with the stratum corneum and therefore can be used for the topical delivery of drugs. The various types of liposomes and their application in their marketed products are discussed below in the article.

Background: Sinopharm vaccine is in fact an inactivated form of SARS-CoV-2. This vaccine is one of the agents that are frequently utilized worldwide. The most frequent adverse effects of this vaccine have been local irritation, fever, and fatigue. Case presentation: The case is a 34-year-old male without any previous medical conditions who presented with pleuritic chest pain 48 hours after the inoculation of Sinopharm vaccine. In his transthoracic echocardiography, mild anterior pericardial effusion and moderate posterior pericardial effusion was noted. The patient underwent pericardial window insertion and the bloody pericardial effusion fluid was drained which was lymphocyte rich without any signs of malignancy and the pericardial biopsy showed chronic inflammation and foreign body giant cell. The patient’s PCR for COVID-19 came back negative. The serology tests for COVID-19 were negative as well. Conclusion: Pericardial effusion can be seen rarely as a complication of vaccination with Sinopharm vaccine. This complication might have happened due to improper handling of the vaccine. This complication was resolved without any consequence in our patient; therefore, this vaccine is still counted as safe and effective in preventing COVID-19

Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV 2), a recent coronavirus was first discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019 [1]. Previous coronavirus infections, namely Middle-East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV ) and SARS-CoV have been reported to damage the respiratory system and cause serious outbreaks [2]. Major complaints are shortness of breath, cough, fever, and diarrhea [3,4]. Lung involvement is the most common form of infection, and is characterized by bilateral lung infiltrates [5,6]. The infection leads to cytokine storm and organ dysfunction and may consequently death. The diagnosis is suspected in presence of contact history, respiratory symptoms, fever, chest radiology, and biochemical parameters. The diagnosis is confirmed with Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT PCR) positivity for COVID-19 in the nasopharyngeal swab [7]. It has been reported that elderly patients are more prone to severe coronavirus disease, just as in hemodialysis patients with additional comorbidities [5]. Since the immune system is low in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients, their tendency to infections is increased [8,9]. Good supportive treatment and infection treatment should be done [10]. CKD is also associated with an increased risk for pneumonia. Mortality rates related to lung infection in CKD seem to be 15-16 times higher than in the general population [9,11]. The use of several antiviral drugs, such as chloroquine phosphate, lopinavir/ritonavir, interferonalpha, ribavirin has been studied, and some clinical trials focusing on virus RNA dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) inhibitors have been initiated. Favipiravir, a purine-nucleic acid analog and RdRp inhibitor which has been approved for use in influenza, is also considered in clinical trials [12,13]. The data on dialysis-dependent patients with COVID-19 are limited, and recommendations are based on expert opinion and case series. There are no studies about the use of favipiravir in patients with renal failure in the literature. In this study, we aimed to describe our experience of favipiravir treatment in dialysis-dependent patients.

The spore-forming probiotic Bacillus subtilis DG101 have proven to be an effective adjuvant intervention in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus originally refractory to conventional therapy with metformin. Since the COVID-19 is able to trigger type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus which may not respond to medication and / or insulin levels, we were intrigued to unveil if B. subtilis DG101 probiotic intervention would be able to restored the physiological level of glucose and HbA1c among patients recovered from COVID-19. Herein, we report three cases of SARS-CoV-2-triggered type 2 diabetes mellitus resistant to insulin and metformin treatment in overweight patients which successfully responded to the incorporation of the probiotic B. subtilis DG101to the anti-diabetic therapy.
Research activities at NASA: the HERA Astronaut Analog mission, Astrobee, and the Advanced Composite Solar Sail System
Authors: Carlino Roberto
Published: December 2022

During this seminar, I will talk about three of the projects I’ve been involved with at NASA in the last few years:
1. **The Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA)** is a ground-based astronaut analog mission run at NASA’s JSC in Houston to study and evaluate impacts on the crew due to isolation, remoteness, and confined habitation. NASA scientists use the collected data to develop and verify countermeasures to reduce or mitigate psychological and physiological effects for future Deep Space missions. This simulation was a 45-day trip to Mars’s moon Phobos and back with the goal of performing geological operations with complete communications delays in effect.
2. **Astrobee** is a new class of free-flying robots that operates in the interior of the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to being a research platform for microgravity free-flying robotics, Astrobee improves the efficiency of ISS operations by providing flight and payload controllers with a mobile camera and a sensor platform.
3. NASA is developing new deployable structures and material technologies for solar sail propulsion systems destined for future low-cost deep space missions. NASA’s Advanced Composite Solar Sail System (ACS3) uses composite materials in its novel, lightweight booms that deploy from a Cubesat. Data obtained from ACS3 will guide the design of future larger-scale composite solar sail systems that could be used for several deep space exploration missions.

Published: December 2022

The connection between service quality and customer satisfaction has acknowledged considerable theoretical and research attention over the years. But the nature of the precise relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction is still concealed with ambiguity. The present research article aims to examine the level of customers’ satisfaction on the delivery of bank services and to measure the relationship between customers’ satisfaction and services offered by rural banks in India. The study has considered 63 branches out of 94 branches of Meghalaya rural bank and a total of 400 customers who are directly associated with the banks i.e., at least having one account with the banks using the purposive sampling method. The opinion of the respondents on the selected variables indicating satisfaction/dissatisfaction level was measured on a Likert scale. The data have been analysed through statistical techniques such as descriptive statistics, correlations analysis and regression analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 21. The analysis indicates that there is an inter-relationship between the influencing factors namely intangible infrastructure, reliability, assurance, responsiveness and empathy, and also verifies that the variables displayed a linear relationship relating to the constructs to each other. The analysis also reveals that tangible infrastructure, reliability and empathy are significant predictors of the level of customer satisfaction while assurance and responsiveness are not appropriate predictors of customer satisfaction levels. The paper recommended that the bank should ensure its commitment towards assurance and responsiveness to build the trust of the customers towards the banks. It is expected that the study will enable the bank management to get a comprehensive choice of empowering their strategies effectively to reach out to the customers.

La actividad minera aurífera corresponde a la minería de oro artesanal en pequeña escala (MAPE). Esta es una de las actividades que mayores cantidades de mercurio utiliza a escala global, por ende, más contaminante, lo cual ha generado problema al medio ambiente y salud pública de las personas a nivel mundial, esto no es distinto en el Cantón Cáscales, Provincia de Sucumbíos, Ecuador. Esta actividad se ha desarrollado desde el año 2012, aumentando progresivamente junto al número de mineros que realizan la actividad. Es común emplear metales pesados como el mercurio para la extracción de oro en fuentes hídricas, como es en el caso del río Taruka y río Duvino, áreas de estudio de la investigación; mismo que tuvo como objetivo general: Determinar la concentración de metilmercurio en fuentes hídricas del cantón Cáscales; para ello se estableció zonas de minería de oro artesanal y en pequeña escala (MAPE) mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas; se determinó la concentración de metilmercurio en peces por medio de análisis de laboratorio y la identificación de las especies con la ayuda de guías taxonómicas; se estableció estrategias que permitan mejorar el control y seguimiento de actividad minera en la zona de estudio a través de un juicio de expertos. Se determinó que las concentraciones de metilmercurio son < 0,1 mg/kg, por debajo de los límites permitidos por la FAO/OMS en los nueve individuos pertenecientes a cuatro especies. Es necesario reforzar los esfuerzos para que las autoridades encargadas del control MAPE presten atención a la problemática, además, capacitar a los moradores sobre los riesgos de bioacomulación de metales pesados como el mercurio por ingesta de peces contaminados.

Objectives: To determine the effect COVID-19 pandemic had on orthodontic patients during the lockdown phase as well as to determine the knowledge of patients regarding the COID-19 disease, its spread, its symptoms, and its prevention. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study. It was carried out by distributing a self-administered questionnaire to 300 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment via electronic mail and whatsapp platfortm. The questionnaire assessed the knowledge of the patient regarding the COVID-19 disease, the impact it had on their orthodontic treatment, and their perception of risk and their attitude towards the COVID-19 disease. Results: 274 out of 300 patients responded to our questionnaires; Out of them 73% were females and 47.3% were males. A large number of patients were able to correctly identify the cause, spread, symptoms, and necessary measures needed to be taken to contain the disease. Although majority of the patients considered COVID-19 to be severely dangerous and felt highly vulnerable to the disease; 54.5% were still willing to continue their treatment during the pandemic. The main reason for their willingness was the fear of increased missed appointments leading to increase in treatment time and cost. Conclusions: The pandemic has had an adverse impact on orthodontic treatment regardless. Nevertheless, patients were still inclined to continue their treatment with appropriate infection control and precautionary measures observed both by the patients themselves and the orthodontic clinical staff.

A obesidade é uma doença crônica, definida pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) como o acúmulo anormal ou excessivo de gordura no corpo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo discutir sobre o que é a obesidade, sua fisiopatologia e formas de tratamento farmacológicos e não farmacológicos. No desenvolvimento metodológico, esta pesquisa se caracteriza como estudo narrativo, com fundamento em uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizando de pesquisa em sites dispostos nas bases de dados Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da saúde (LILACS) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), publicados no período de 2002 a 2022. Assim, identificou-se fatores ambientais e genéticos envolvidos na obesidade, além de uma diversidade de medicamentos para tratar a obesidade, porém, é importante que haja orientação médica para a sua introdução, outrossim urge que haja uma conjuntura entre o tratamento farmacológico e mudança de hábitos alimentares e de exercícios físicos. Conclui-se que a obesidade se origina não somente de maus hábitos alimentares, mas também fruto de uma construção social que exige que os corpos sejam padronizados, criando distúrbios de ansiedade que podem levar a predisposição do fator obesidade, além de listar patologias acarretadas pelo distúrbio da obesidade, como diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial e outras.

Published: December 2022

O artigo trata das intersecções entre a formação da profissionalidade do professor de história e a intelectualidade na Primeira República. Situado no campo da História da Educação, tem por objetivo entender e discutir as intersecções entre a formação da profissionalidade do professor de história na Bahia e sua intelectualidade em tempos que este profissional foi requerido para a constituição de uma mocidade patriótica e em consenso com o civismo e a moral pretendidos. A partir de uma leitura diacrônica das fontes e considerações de ordem conceitual e teórica sobre intelectualidade (SIRINELLI, 2003) e profissionalidade (NÓVOA, 1995; MONTEIRO, 2015) conclui que a prática dos concursos para o ingresso no ensino secundário ganhou força na república e repercutiu na formação e na rede de sociabilidades de um novo quadro de intelectuais da docência baiana. As relações entre o Gymnasio da Bahia e o IGHB foram centrais para a formação da identidade, saberes e conhecimentos baianos, configurando-se como fator decisivo nas intersecções entre profissionalidade e intelectualidade.

A proposta deste dossiê temático consiste em refletir sobre como o ensinar e o aprender adquiriram, com o processo de independência e a necessidade de organizar uma nação, novas formas diante da reconfiguração da sociedade no sentido capitalista e de uma economia de mercado. Neste período de crise e de anúncio de mudanças no regime político do país, questões fulcrais tencionaram a transição do Império para a República, como a passagem da escravidão para a mão-de-obra livre, critérios para acesso à cidadania, reorganização política dos interesses locais no Estado, entre outras que apontavam para diferentes projetos que considerassem, por exemplo, a discussão sobre a instrução dos ingênuos e uma educação para uma nação que se presumisse livre e civilizada.

The research objectives are (1) to analyze the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil in the international market; and (2) to analyze what factors influence the demand for Indonesian palm oil exports to India. The data used in this study is secondary data in the form of time series data for the period 1995-2017. Data sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics Jambi Province. The analysis tool uses multiple linear regression. The results showed that the comparative advantage of the competitiveness of Indonesian palm oil as measured by the RCA Index (Revealed Comparative Advantage) over the last 23 years has an average value of 2. This proves that Indonesian palm oil exports have a comparative advantage with strong competitiveness in the international market. Demand for Indonesian palm oil exports to India is significantly influenced by export prices, exchange rates, and India's GDP.

This study examines the relationship between government health expenditure and health outcome in Nigeria using time series data on infant mortality, government health expenditure, school enrollment ratio and the gross domestic product for the period covering 1981 to 2020. The study sourced data from the World Bank data base and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. Infant mortality rate was used as a proxy for health outcome based on data availability and the literature. As dictated by the data, the study used Vector Autoregressive model (VAR) to analyse the relationship between government health expenditure and health outcome in Nigeria for the period under study. The variables in the model were all integrated of order one and were cointegrated using the Johansen’s cointegration test. Government health expenditure is found to have a negative relationship with infant mortality in Nigeria; an indication that an increase in health expenditure has the tendency to decrease infant mortality in Nigeria. The study finds school enrollment to be significant. Therefore, the study recommends among other things that government expenditure should be increased to diminish infant mortality as well as enhance school enrolment.

This study evaluates community-based conservation policy for wildlife management in Nigeria. The research focuses on the laws, polices and act promulgated to protect and preserve our environmental landscape from degradation by identifying National Park Act as the most suitable law for the study. The research relies extensively on secondary data sources especially articles on community based conservation. Findings reveal that, though community based conservation has been integrated into the National Park Service Act, it is yet to be fully implemented in all the parks. Records have it that the Act is in operation in Cross River National Park, Old-Oyo National Park, and Kainji Lake National Park. However, even in places where the Act is being implemented, hunters, poachers, farmers and livestock farmers still encroach and cause degradation in these protected areas. The study concludes that community based conservation policy has proved to be a framework which can guide conservation and incorporate host communities in the administration of the protected areas. The policy further enhances community participation and the involvement of the locals in the management and conservation of natural resources. This form of community participation is a vital instrument in environmental resources management. The study therefore recommends that community-based conservation policy should be implemented to the letter to curb environmental degradation and promote community involvement. Also, community members should be involved in the planning and conservation of natural resources. In addition, empowerment programmes should be provided as an alternative means of livelihood for the local people in other to reduce over dependence on environmental resources.
Group Mind in Anyiam-Osigwe’s Development Philosophy
Authors: Oladipo Temidayo David
Published: December 2022

This work deals with the philosophical reflections of Emmanuel Onyechere Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe (1921-1988). He was a sage philosopher (a concept employed here in contradistinction to the term ‘professional philosopher’), whose philosophical reflections, apart from having metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical dimensions, address certain socio-political issues. An important idea in his corpus is subjected to critical interrogation in this paper. This is the idea of the group mind, a concept which is an embodiment of his reflections on how a group of people can develop institutions that can foster cooperative living. The idea further addresses how the individual can position himself for reorganisation of society by keying into social aspirations through adherence to norms, values and development of spirituality. The individual is to de-emphasise the self in relation to the others, and live the group’s vision. To achieve this, the individual is to through introspection, self-searching, self-analysis, self-awareness, and self-knowledge, gain access to their innate endowments and bring these to bear on group cohesion. In Nigeria’s case, lack of a sense of nationhood militates against patriotism and, in a democracy, denies the group a collective basis for holding politicians accountable for actions. There is, thus, the issue of distrust which makes consensus tough or nearly impossible. Anyiam-Osigwe’s notion of the group mind addresses this problem in Nigeria, if understood and applied.
DECOLONIAL THINKING AND PRACTICE, TOWARDS SPATIAL TRANSFORMATION IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT

Published: December 2022

The paper explores the effects of colonial systems on spatial inclusivity in Global South communities, with a focus on the South African built environment. The aim of the study is to critically review predominant modes of curricula, pedagogy, and practice, to identify possibilities for inclusive approaches towards transformative spatial thinking and practice. The main question guiding the study is, how can an alternative system facilitate inclusion in the spatial transformation of historically marginalised communities? Decoloniality, socio-economic emancipation and pedagogic inclusion define the theoretical framework of the paper. This qualitative study is supported by a phenomenological paradigm. The research methods include a literature review, precedent study, and refers to the South African context as a case study. It must be noted that the paper is written in a decolonial style that draws on the author’s lived experiences in a marginalised South African community. The study proposed an alternate dispensation in the form of a conceptual framework for spatial transformation defined by transformed modes of built environment, thinking and practice facilitated through the formation of an inclusive, critical learning community.
AN INCLUSIVE EXPRESSION OF GENIUS LOCI: A CASE STUDY OF THE URBAN EVOLUTION OF ASMARA, ERITREA
Authors:   Department of Architecture, Durban University of Technology, South Africa., Tecle-Misghina B.
Published: December 2022

Although Asmara developed during the era of modernist urban planning and Italian colonial influence, its genius loci is firmly rooted in place and time. This paper aims to explain the history, impact of administration, planning, and the dynamic synergies between tangible and intangible attributes of place, that led to Asmara being listed as a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site. This qualitative study analyses the layered expression of genius loci through a timeline mapping the development of Asmara. The methods include map analysis, drawings, and photographs, based on the author’s research of the city since 2005. A decolonial conceptual framework underpinned the study. The author’s lived experience, having grown up in Asmara, provides a deeper layer of autoethnographic understanding of the city, including the cultural-spatial characteristics that safeguard its genius loci. The article concludes with findings and a proposition for an inclusive transformation of postcolonial cities.

The present planning standard in Nigeria is with a colonial footprint. The study examined resident’s compliance with planning regulations in peri – urban of Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted while both primary and secondary data were sourced. Using a multistage sampling technique, two peri-urban local Government areas (Ido and Oluyole local government) in Ibadan region were identified and two settlements (Apete and Odo Ona Elewe) were randomly selected from each selected LGAs. A total of 7,170 houses from Apete (3,500) and Odo Ona elewe (3,670) were enumerated and 3% (215) sample size was taken. Observation checklist was used to assess the level of compliance with the planning regulations. Both descriptive and inferential statistics (chi square) were used to analyse the data at P ≥ = 0.05%. The study revealed that about 75.3 % of the respondents were aware of the planning regulation, while only 58.6% complied with the building setback regulation. The study concluded that planning regulations have not been given adequate attention. Therefore, planning standard relating to building should be strictly enforced.

African Union has hope for a vision of an Africa that is thriving by 2063 (UNDP Africa, 2017). Historically Africa was under the gaze and submissive to the imaginings of western vision. Africans as drivers of development prove to be difficult as global coloniality continues to shape inclusivity, autonomy, and spatial activities. Reimagining the future of cities is aligned with the way global coloniality unpacks how modernisation takes place. Decoloniality becomes important in that it gives Africans the space to think about autonomy to plan how can issues of inclusivity be addressed in the context of providing sustainable cities in line with spatial justice. The main drivers of reimagining the cities of the future are environmental sustainability and disruptive technology. Environmental sustainability and technological vision/disruptive technology are very problematic in the African context. In the African context, environmental issues are secondary as social inequalities and political issues are at the forefront of African lived experiences. Technology although present continues to exacerbate the gap between the “haves and the have nots”. This paper critically explores the future of cities concerning decoloniality, inclusivity and autonomy. It highlights key discussions about decoloniality and helps to unpack an African perspective towards reimagining future cities. The purpose of this paper is to bring to the forefront what sustainability means for smart cities in Africa, and if they are ready to take on an autonomous role in defining the future of cities.
