Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) as a Therapeutic Target in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Vascular Complications: A Narrative Review
Authors: Rompis Andreliano Yosua , Gorintha Adrian Wiryanata , . Nurmi
Published: January 2022

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) has been a global health problem. Current studies have shown that the increased mortality and morbidity in T2DM are related to vascular complications. The vascular complications were caused by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) associated with chronic hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. The increase of ROS in T2DM was influenced by the p38 MAPK pathway which is directly related to the modulation of nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) of endothelium cells. The decrease of NO by eNOS also has a connection with an event known as eNOS uncoupling. The decrease of eNOS plays a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM and its vascular complications such as increased inflammatory pro-cytokine, activation of NADPH pathway, increased of AGEs, VCAM-1, ICAM-1, and also the activation of protein kinase c and Rho-kinase pathway. Some interventions indirectly or directly have modulated NO relayed to its work targets such as oral antidiabetic drugs (metformin, sulfonylurea, and acarbose) or some polyphenol compounds such as emodin, α-Lipoic acid, curcumin, and olive oil. Modulation of NO in these interventions can be strong evidence that NO can be a target for further therapy in the management of T2DM and its complications.

Keywords: eNOS, vascular complication, Type 2 Diabetes mellitus.

Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) in a Child Depicting Health Inequity (HI) in Kashmir
Authors: Daraz Zahoor Hussain , Shabir Berkheez , Afshan Rehana
Published: January 2022

WHO defines health inequities as avoidable inequalities between groups of people within countries and between the countries: Similarly, various global health agencies have provided an extract where Inequity and inequality is clearly defined. These two terms are confusing at times however they are not interchangeable. Health inequity is a situation where differences can be avoided but due to mass corruption, poor governance and in some instances cultural compulsion and exclusion leads to inequity. Health inequity is socially produced therefore it is unfair and avoidable. Example of health inequity between countries are, the infant mortality rate in Iceland is 2 per 1000 live births while it is 120 per 1000 live births in Mozambique.
On the other hand health inequality is an unavoidable condition that results due to uneven distribution of health or resources or biological variations of genetic or other factors e.g. Elderly people, who are more likely to die than young adults and children. This case report of a child with PEM is aimed to highlight the issue of health inequity in a Paediatric age group in Kashmir, India.

Published: January 2022

Poultry farmers and birds are exposed to poultry dust which is a byproduct of commercial poultry production. It increases the chances of developing serious respiratory conditions. Adult male Wistar rats were used in this study due to their stable hormonal status to investigate the effect of poultry dust (PM10) on the biochemical, haematological and histopathological parameters of the animals. The Wistar rats were exposed to dust samples collected from 9 poultry farms in Edo State. Indoor concentration of dust samples was determined monthly using a Casella Cel 712 micro dust pro air sampler from December 2016 to November 2017. Wistar rats were exposed to sieved poultry dust obtained with the aid of a vacuum cleaner equipped with a 25- m mesh paper dust bag. Blood samples and organs were obtained from sacrificed Wistar rats for biochemical, haematological and histopathological studies. Poultry dust (PM10) concentration were above recommended limits (0.15mg/m3) of the United State Environmental Protection agency (USEPA). There was significant reduction in RBC, Hb, PCV, MCV, monocytes and lymphocytes count in dust-exposed Wistar rats compared to unexposed ones. There was also evidence of histopathology attributed to exposure. This study therefore revealed high dust concentration that can result to a number of health impacts in mammals within the poultry environment.

Cultural tourism is one of the earliest and significant motivation of the tourists. Every year thousands of tourists visit places of cultural attractions across the globe to satisfy their varying needs. Fortunately, Pakistan is among the countries blessed with rich and diverse cultures (both tangible and intangible) with a great potential to attract tourists from all over the world. Apart from the cultural resources, the country also has abundant natural destinations including lush green valleys with natural lakes and rivers, surrounded by mountains presenting panoramic views, desert, beaches and natural landscapes with unique species of birds, animals and plants. Kaghan valley, located in district Mansehra of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is one of the valleys with abundant cultural and natural resources. The valley, due to its pleasant weather attracts thousands of tourists from different parts of Pakistan and around the world during the summer (i.e. June-September). But, the potential of cultural tourism in the valley has not yet been identified and promoted to keep the flow of the tourists during the rest of the seasons. If proper measures be taken, the valley may attract a large number of cultural tourists and contribute to empower the community as well as to strengthen the GDP of the country. The current study aims to highlight the potential of cultural tourism; identify major problems and to suggest measures for the promotion of sustainable cultural tourism in the valley.

Pakistan is a country that has been facing the biggest problem of gender inequality since its inception and has been considered one of the worst performers for decades, especially in terms of women's economic empowerment. Strategic analysis shows that this threat is the result of religious misrepresentation as well as many political, socio-economic and cultural barriers. Rendering to world economic forum report of 2018, Pakistan is classified 148th out of 149 countries. In Pakistan, women, who make up about half of the population, are deprived of basic services such as domestic violence, poverty, poor health, economic dependence and low literacy rates, with little difference between metropolitan and rural life. At the same time, this research should carefully address this issue and point out that legal reforms are necessary and indispensable for the participation of women in the economic development of the country. This will be a first stride to provide objective measure of how specific regulations, implementation and protection of inheritance of property right affect women’s inclusive participation in economic development. The study is correlated to new index introduced by WBL2019 which is structured around eight indicators that encompass different stages of women’s working life, provide essential grounds for economic standing of women, the particular emphasis will be on seventh indicator that is managing assets that involves ownership and inheritance of property.

Published: January 2022

Critical thinking is a multifaceted process which requires a higher level of cognitive skills. Teachers’ perceptions and practices to develop critical thinking skills among students influence their behavior in the class. This study intended to explore the perceptions and practices of secondary school teachers in developing the critical thinking skills of students. Four secondary teachers were conveniently selected for data collection by using a semi-structured interview followed by classroom observation and document analysis. The collected data was analyzed by using a thematic approach. The findings of the research study indicated that some of the secondary school teachers lack the basic knowledge about critical thinking; therefore, they were unable to define the concept of critical thinking and way to develop these skills in their students. Most of the teachers (i.e., 66.6%) were aware that it is important to develop student's critical thinking skills but except one, other teachers were unable to provide evidence of using effective classroom strategies needed to develop critical thinking skills among students. Moreover, it was observed that students were unable to analyze and apply their knowledge in new situations. Based on the findings, it was recommended that schools need to train teachers on pedagogies to enable them to create interactive classrooms to lead students to think critically.

In recent years, the issue of cybercrime has overwhelmed everyone who is related to the internet in any capacity. Recent studies have shown that the incidents of cybercrime vastly involve youngsters, which has serious consequences for them as victims and as cyber offenders. The existing body of knowledge related to cybercrime focus upon various issues of internet in general and social media in particular. However, a thorough approach on the issues of cybercrime with relevance to youth is missing. Therefore, this study tries to fill this gap by offering youth and victim-based approach on the issues pertaining to cybercrime. For attaining this purpose, qualitative research approach was adopted in conducting this research project. Semi structured interviews were conducted with 40 young victims of cybercrime. The respondents were recruited through purposive sampling from district Peshawar of 18 to 25 years of age. Furthermore, the respondents were recruited from three clusters of district Peshawar namely Gul Bahar, Hayat Abad, and University town. Various dimensions of cybercrime and involvement of youth as victims and as criminals were explored. It can be concluded that the youth mostly experience cybercrime in the form of cyber bullying, blackmailing and hacking. Further, the findings suggest that many youngsters make their choices on social media and internet without being aware of cybercrimes and thus succumbed to cyber criminals. The participants also reiterated that lack of proper restrictions and policing have created a crime friendly zone for cyber criminals. Based on the findings and participant views, it is recommended that the government, relevant bodies, institutions, and all stake holders including youth should come forward and help in developing a research and technology driven policy backed by separate cybercrime policing system.

BCC Research provides market analysis reports in a variety of industries. While they have some reports in the consumer arena, their strength is in the industrial and manufacturing industries. The reports tend to focus on the industries globally, but they do have country reports (examples
include the US and China) and the global reports may also have country information as well. The reports include the typical market overview and market size, but they have some unique information including investment and product development information, for example, on patents. The added benefit
of BCC Research is that they share partner reports which provides a more robust product. The interface and organization of the reports could use some improvement, but reports are findable even if sometimes challenging. The resource contains some great content that anyone doing market analysis
within the industrial or manufacturing industries would appreciate. Entrepreneurs might find it particularly helpful to use to learn about the investment and product development information.

Authors: Hsin Seow chee , meng Heng
Published: January 2022

Many previously conducted empirical studies have displayed mixed findings about the influence of internal factors within an organization on the management of risk among construction companies. Hence, there is a need for introducing a moderating variable to this field of study. The aim of this research was to confirm whether coercive pressure plays a significant role in the relationship between the management of risk in construction and factors within the organization. Therefore, this study examined the influence that internal organizational factors and coercive pressure have on the management of construction risk through the lens of discouragement and organizational control theory, and institutional theory. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires involving 165 workers working in the Malaysian Peninsular construction companies, and the analysis was performed by means of partial least squares structural equation modelling. Results revealed a positively significant connection between internal organizational factors and the management of construction risk. Also, coercive pressure and the management of construction risk has a positively significant relationship. Coercive pressure mediated the connection that organizational internal factors had with the management of construction risk. A discussion of the research implications was done from the point of view of Malaysia. In conclusion, the reduction of risk incidents in the process of carrying out construction activities is being facilitated by active leadership and organizational culture. In addition, the rate and period at which accidents occur during and after the completion of construction activities are reduced by coercive pressure. In the same way, some influential internal factors of organizations as well as the introduced coercive pressure in the process of managing construction risk have established that many construction companies that apply the necessary internal factors as well as the coercive pressure introduced by the government are able to make delivery of their construction task at the specified cost, time, and qualities, thus establishing them as the correct standard for measuring a well-constructed project.

خطۂ بہاول پور کے چند مغربی اسفار(ایک نو آبادیاتی باشندے کی نظر میں)

Where the western colonial powers have had a profound influence on other forms of literature, such a genre of travel journalism in the Bahawalpur region could not be safeguarded. The region is known for its civilization and culture, yet the rumors that have been written from Pakistan to Pakistan remain mournful that the tradition under the influence has stirred. Although the nature of the journals being written in the Bahawalpur region varied, the correspondents here discussed the impact that the west had given them. At the national level, the ambassadors sought for western couples and also showed an attitude of disregarding civilization and culture. At the national level, the ambassadors sought for western couples and also showed an attitude of disregarding civilization and culture. Travelling entrepreneurs separate from their country apart from a new angle and independent thinking, they seem to be lacking in the west. This difference can be seen even more clearly if domestic and international travels are taken into account.

Language is fundamental to any society. It is through language that we can communicate our thoughts to others. The more a language is used, the more it will develop. There are many types of languages including mother tongue, regional language, religious language, official language, business language, national language, international language and so on. When speaking, language and ascent are not taken into consideration, but there is a need to be careful while writing. People who cannot speak a language use specific gestures or symbols to convey their point of view to others. Therefore, we can say that the use of language began as soon as man came into this world.
