Ritz Vectors-Based Deflation Preconditioner for Linear System with Multiple Right-Hand Sides
Authors: Humayoun Muhammad , Burney S.M Aqil , Sheikh  A.H. , Ghafoor Abdul
Published: April 2022

Computational mathematics have many tools to solve the large systems of equations which may be linear or nonlinear. Iterative methods are used to solve the nonsymmetric definite system of linear equations like Krylov methods. Linear systems with multiple right-hand sides find application in many areas of engineering and science. Considering generality and indefiniteness, Krylov subspace methods are frequently used for such problems. However, problem with system with multiple right-hand side vectors requires constructing subspace for every right-hand side. GMRES produces Ritz vectors, approximation to eigenvectors during iterations. These Ritz values, recycled vectors are used in Krylov solve while solving system with second and subsequent right-hand side vectors. This is applied as a deflation preconditioner to GMRES. The numerical results show that the computational time, residuals and number of iterations is reduced as compare to simple GMRES. Deflation technique with Ritz vectors is not expensive as compare to the GMRES and as well as exact eigenvectors deflations.
Financial Development, Human Capital Development and Income Inequality: Evidence from Developing Countries
Authors: Sabir Samina , Asghar Nabila , Rasul Farhat
Published: April 2022

This study investigates the nexus between financial deepening and income equality in developing countries. Two indicators of income inequality, the Gini coefficient, and the income share of the bottom quintile of the population, are used for this analysis of 31 developing countries spanning the period 1996 to 2019. The system generalized method of moment (GMM) is used to tackle the problem of endogeneity. This study finds the inverted U-shaped relationship between gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and income inequality, while the non-linear relationship is observed between financial deepening and income inequality. This implies that at an early stage of financial development income inequality increases and as a certain threshold level of financial development is marked, income inequality decreases. Moreover educated and healthy human capital has negative impacts on income inequality in developing countries. Therefore this study infers to enhance human capital development in developing countries to crush down income inequality.

Authors: Saleem Noshina , Yousaf Zahid , Ali Ehtisham
Published: April 2022

The study is focused to analyze the framing of the islamophobia in the international media in context of the terror attacks on the Muslims and Non-Muslims where the newspapers from six countries including United States, India, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Pakistan are focused to study to analyze the major terror incidents from 2014 to 2019 in different countries of the world. The key focus was to analyze the frames including perpetrator of the terror incidents; Islam/Muslims are Progressive or Violent; Criticism on Muslims and Non-Muslims Perpetrators; Target are Muslims or Non-Muslims and Positive or Negative image of Islam/Muslims presented. The content analysis method is used to analyze the content about framing of the major terror incidents targeting both the Muslims and Non-Muslims. The study concludes that the selected international press presented Islam in context of anti-Muslim wave as they presented Islam and Muslims in a negative context mostly linking them with violence and non-Muslims are more target of terrorism than the Muslims. The study presents that the Muslims and Islam is targeted more despite the fact that they have also been target of the terrorism and extremism losing hundreds of lives. Only Pakistani newspaper presented a positive image of Islam and the Muslims convincing about the fact that Muslims are equal target of terrorism and extremism and Muslims also have suffered by terrorism.

Authors: Abbas Aamir , Lohani Atika , Ali Khan Muhammad Mumtaz
Published: April 2022

The significance and importance of corporate social responsibility requires that companies must take into consideration the multi-stakeholder interests ranging from environment, economic and other social impacts of corporate actions. The profiteering of corporations has made business actions questionable which is particularly evident in developing states.This article encompasses issues of corruption and bribery in commercial transactions as a corporate social responsibility aspect and sheds light on shareholders’ derivative right of actions for the implementation of CSR issues. It also looks into mandatory bars on derivative claims and relationship of CSR to derivative claims considering the social responsibilities of shareholders in corporations. This potentially establishes that breach of duties on the part of directors and other corporate wrongs damaging society at large are required to be taken to courts and need to be remedied.

Published: April 2022

Objective

Vaccine hesitancy among healthcare providers can compromise public confidence in vaccination during the ongoing COVID-19 global epidemic and increase susceptibility to life-threatening disease. We sought to investigate predictors of openness to vaccination among healthcare workers who choose not to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to explore potential solutions.

Methods

Physicians, physician assistants, and nurses who chose not to be vaccinated were surveyed to decipher reasons for vaccine refusal and personal loss due to the virus along with demographic variables. Multivariate logistic regression analysis evaluated whether provider role, parenthood, and death of family or friends were associated with strong versus relative vaccine refusal.

Results

The predominant reasons for vaccine hesitancy in this cohort of health care workers who had access to, but chose not to be vaccinated (n=500) were a concern for vaccine side effects (69.6%) and the belief that the vaccines are inadequately studied (61.6%). Being a physician, a parent, and having no experience of death in the family or friends had 2.64 times (95% CI: 1.65-4.23, p < 0.001), 1.72 times (95% CI: 1.05-2.81, p = 0.032), and 1.70 times (95% CI: 1.06-2.72, p = 0.028) the odds of strong vaccine refusal, respectively. Older age (35 and up) respondents were 1.83 times (95% CI: 1.24-2.68, p = 0.002) more likely to be open to vaccination.

Christian missions and northeast India
Authors: Gogoi Nidhi
Published: April 2022

The British colonized the India in eighteenth century and eventually control over the northeast region in the nineteenth century, the region inhabited basically by the Indigenous peoples, served to open doors to the region for the missionaries. The pioneer missionaries who came to Northeast India in the nineteenth century belonged to the American Baptist Foreign Mission and Welsh Presbyterian missions. It was a known fact that there was a working relation between the British colonial powers and Christian missions in Northeast India. Both the colonial power and missions held the "civilizing responsibility" as their shared goal. Therefore, the concern of the paper is to study the proliferation of Christianity and impact of Christian missionary activities on the people of Northeast India with special reference to the tribal society.

Vicisitudes económicas y sociales de la ciudad de Santa Marta para resistir en los siglos XVI y XVII
Authors: Sinning Edgar Rey
Published: April 2022

La ciudad de Santa Marta, en el Caribe colombiano, cerca de la esembocadura del río Manzanares, fue una de las primeras ciudades fundadas por los españoles en América. En palabras del autor, “la monarquía española fundó en América un gran número de ciudades, villas y asentamientos cuyo fin primordial era servir a la política imperial de expansión territorial”. En los primeros tiempos, desatendida por la Corona española -aunque de aquí no tenga Vuestra Majestad ningunas rentas-, la ciudad sobrevivió por la tenacidad y esfuerzos de los vecinos, que se negaban a abandonarla a pesar de los contratiempos y de la escasez de riquezas minerales. La escasez de soldados tornaba vulnerable la ciudad, que no tenía ni para pagar la estadía de 50 soldados, y nunca alcanzó a ser una verdadera fuerza para contener las entradas y el desembarco de ejércitos irregulares dedicados al saqueo y el pillaje. En los siglos XV n pequeño pueblo, de pocos vecinos, las casas no llegaban a treinta, repartidas en seis u ocho manzanas.
Desplazamientos Legales:
Authors: Wiltberger Joseph L.
Published: April 2022

La decisión del gobierno de Estados Unidos en 2018 de suspender el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS) para los salvadoreños desplazaría a muchos que han vivido en Estados Unidos por décadas. El TPS ha sido aprobado de forma consecutiva a lo largo de muchos años, convirtiéndolo en un estatus legal liminal que ha llegado a parecerse a un estatus legal permanente. Este artículo analiza los efectos desestabilizadores de esta decisión, en caso de ser implementada. Al conceptualizar dichos desajustes y contradicciones implícitos en la suspensión del TPS para los salvadoreños como un conflicto de desplazamientos legales, este análisis ofrece una mirada académica sobre las dinámicas políticas, económicas y legales alrededor del TPS y sobre vivencias de legalidad liminal.
Constructing Capacity: Barriers, Tactics, and Conditions for CED as Described by Aki Energy CEO Darcy Wood
Authors: Penner Van
Published: April 2022

Having already installed over $15 Million in ground source heat pumps (heating/cooling systems which channel subterranean airflows to achieve residential temperature control) Aki explicitly seeks "to develop economies in First Nations communities and there's no cost to them at all" (personal communication, November 5, 2019). Since the initial Hydro contract, Aki's funding model now consists of courting foundations and "impact investment" (Loney, 2018, p. 45) that presently takes the form of a $4.3 million contract with Raven Capital Partners. [...]Aki works to forge respectful relationships with both communities and staff members by relating to them as partners, "not employees" (personal communication, November 5, 2019), as Wood is swift to communicate. The active opposition by CIRNAC/ISC to support local development is cited by other Indigenous communities, such as Osoyoos in British Columbia, where a lack of government transparency regarding the community land claims repressed development for years.

Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION This reflection paper captures the learnings of Simon Fraser University's Community Economic Development (SFU CED) team. How do we remove the silos and work collaboratively for the collective benefits of Indigenous communities and future generations? * Mapping the Ecosystem of Economic Reconciliation Actors and Initiatives * Investment Readiness for Indigenous Communities The SFU CED team also internally reflected on this work constantly. Amidst that dynamic, we recognize that each First Nation community is trying to get the most out of the current economic system to meet current community needs, which are generally overwhelming, and these on-going responsibilities keep leadership and community from larger and longer-term visioning. Multiple Voices, Multiple Audiences Writing as Women of Colour In the written framework, we openly and honestly share the challenge of engaging in this work as women of colour. Since efforts and expressions of reconciliation, decolonization, equity, and "inclusion" have often been token acts, it was difficult to remain hopeful that this process would bring small or incremental change, let alone catalyze any significant transformation.
Strategic Leadership: Kelly Lendsay, CEO of Indigenous Works
Authors: Robinson Lucas
Published: April 2022

In October 1998, Lendsay was hired by the Indigenous Works board to build partnership strategies and create a more inclusive work environment for Indigenous peoples in the corporate world (personal phone interview, March 15, 2020). According to Lendsay, effective leaders must care about the people in their organization, operate with integrity, and constantly focus on vision and innovation. [...]it is difficult for them to invest in Indigenous strategies and develop an Indigenous workforce (personal phone interview, March 15, 2020). Some of the downsides of Indigenous communities becoming too economically reliant on raw resource-based sectors include unstable market conditions and lack of human capital and financial experience, as well as limited access to the required resources.

Published: April 2022

This research is motivated by the parenting pattern of parents towards their children. Parenting patterns are habits that parents do to their children such as nurturing, guiding and leading their children in the family. However, this is not the case with toxic parenting. In this toxic parenting style, parents will treat their children badly, for example, controlling their children too much, yelling at children, verbally abusing them, blaming children, criticizing and being selfish with the aim of being for the good of their children. But in reality, this condition will make children depressed, depressed, stressed, and not confident. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristics of toxic parenting of children in the family by using the literature study method with data collection techniques in the form of information from written sources. Based on the results of research on toxic parenting, it can be concluded that toxic parenting is very dangerous and has a large negative effect on the development of children in the future. This is because this kind of parenting has a link that the child will do when he grows up and has children, because he thinks that the parenting style carried out by his parents is good. To avoid toxic parenting, parents must try to recognize their child's behavior, provide opportunities for children, control emotions and establish good communication with children.

The ability to read is one of the aspects of language that students in elementary school need to learn. The success of students in learning is influenced by the mastery of students' reading skills at the beginning level. The impact of the Covid-19 virus makes it difficult for grade 1 elementary school students to read so that they have difficulty understanding the material presented by the teacher through online learning. For this reason, steps were taken to implement the strategy by holding "Reading Lessons". Through this strategy, it is hoped that: 1) the students' initial reading ability will increase; 2) understand the supporting and inhibiting factors of teachers in implementing strategies to improve students' early reading skills. The research design used descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were teachers and first grade students of SDN 1 Bawu Jepara. Data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that: 1) the "Les Reading" strategy can improve students' initial reading skills through: a) planning (teacher preparation in delivering materials and using learning methods and media; b) implementing strategies (learning steps and student participation); and 2) The supporting factors for the strategy are parents, school policies, and the availability of learning media. While the inhibiting factors for the strategy are internal to the students and the limited time for implementation.

The goal of this study was to evaluate, in a commercial herd, the use of isoquinoline alkaloids and carvacrol versus a preventive antibiotic program, such as feed additives, on the performance, carcass traits, and health status of pigs in the growing and finishing phase. There were 576 PIC immunocastrated males and females, at 70 days of age and 28.429 ± 2.302 kg of initial weight used. The experimental design was a 4 × 2 factorial randomized block, with four preventive programs, two sexes, and six repetitions per treatment (the pen with 12 animals of the same sex was the replicate). The treatments were T1 (positive control program with antibiotic shocks at preventive level), T2 (negative control with the absence of antibiotics as a growth promoter or as preventive), T3 (isoquinoline alkaloids at 100 to 150 g ton-1), T4 (isoquinoline alkaloids at 90 g ton-1 + carvacrol essential oil at 1 kg ton-1). T1 and T3 presented higher daily feed intakes, followed by T2, and T4 showed the worst feed consumption (P < 0.05). T1 showed higher daily weight gain compared to T4 (P < 0.05), without differences between T2 and T3. T2 showed better feed conversion than T1 and T3, but it was similar to T4. There were no effects of the treatments on the carcass traits. Intestinal crypt hyperplasia and crypt abscesses (lesions caused by Lawsonia intracellularis) were significantly higher for T2 and T3 compared to T1, which was similar to T4. T2 presented the highest carcass condemnation at slaughter (7%), differing (P < 0.05) from T1, T3, and T4 (1, 2, and 3%, respectively). Isoquinoline alkaloids are an alternative for antibiotic-free diets for pigs in the growing and finishing phase, preserving the performance and carcass indices and minimizing sanitary carcass condemnations at the slaughterhouse.

Authors: Morrell Nathan T. , Menon Nathan , Nolan John E.
Published: April 2022

Thumb metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint hyperextension is a well-established sequela of advanced carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthritis. This deformity results in poor patient function because the ability to perform key pinch is negatively affected. For this reason, surgeons must consider the presence of an MCP deformity when addressing CMC arthritis. A variety of nonsurgical and surgical interventions have emerged. Surgical treatments can be grouped into four main categories: (1) volar plate advancement/capsulodesis, (2) tendon transfer and tenodesis, (3) sesamoidesis, and (4) arthrodesis. Surgical intervention is based on both the degree of deformity present and the surgeon preference. This review aims to clarify indications for various treatments of MCP joint hyperextension, outline commonly performed procedures, and report the published outcomes and potential complications of these interventions.

Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most prevalent cancer types worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths. Gastric cancer is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease with a poorly understood carcinogenesis at the molecular level. Therefore, the research for effective drug therapy strategies plays a significant role in treating the disease. One of these effective treatment strategies is herbal-based therapeutics, which have low side effects and contain many biologically active compounds. In this study, the effect of U.dioica, S. marianum and C. scolymus herbal extracts on cell viability in L929, AGS and SH-SY5Y cell lines was analyzed by XTT test to evaluate the anticancer activities. Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of extracts were determined by the agar well diffusion test and CUPRAC method, respectively. We found that U. dioica and S. marianum extracts showed no significant effect on the viability of AGS and SH-SY5Y cancer cells. C. scolymus extract demonstrated strong anticancer activity on AGS cancer cells at all concentrations but had no effect on SH-SY5Y cells. U. dioica and C. scolymus exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus and B. cereus, respectively. No antibacterial activity was found in S. marianum extract. U. dioica and S. marianum extracts have shown strong antioxidant activity in CUPRAC assay. In conclusion, the obtained results revealed the antibacterial and anticancer therapeutic potential of C. scolymus extract known as artichoke in gastric cancer cells. However, more research is required to better explain the therapeutic properties of these extracts.
