Published: June 2022

A steady two-phase fluid flow over a curved elongating sheet with dust particles has been scrutinized. Influence of volume fraction, applied magnetic field, buoyancy-driven force on the flow over a porous medium has been studied. Using similarity transformations, multivariable functions having partial derivatives in the problem for both fluid and dust phases are transmuted into ordinary differential equations. Then, emerging non-linear differential equations are formulated numerically by employing MATLAB built-in bvp4c solver scheme. Shapes of momentum, thermal and mass boundary layers have been shown by graphical forms for various values of flow parameters. Friction factor, heat and mass transfer rates are calculated and given in tabular forms.

Authors: Ozturk Guzide , Yakar Yasin
Published: June 2022

A multiple analysis method based on QuEChERS (fast, easy, inexpensive, effective, robust and safe) extraction method and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC â€“ MS/MS) was developed for 39 selected pesticides in fresh red pepper. This method has been validated according to the Sante guide published by the European Union Reference Laboratories (EURLs). The linearity study was conducted in the range of 1-80 Âµg/kg and in seven different concentrations. The correlation coefficients of the calibration curves were (R2)> 0.992. Quantification limits (LOQs) ranged from 4 to 19 Î¼g kg-1. The recovery values were between 70.84% and 108.0%. The repeatability values (RSDr), which were between 0.99% and 17.5%in terms of in-laboratory reproducibility values (RSDWR), were determined to be between 0.98% and 19.57%. Repeatability and trueness parameters were used to calculate measurement uncertainty. The extended uncertainty values were calculated as 20.88% to 49.94%. The method was successfully used to analyze 22 fresh red pepper samples. Nine different pesticide residues were identified in 12 samples. The amount of carbendazim in a sample was found to be above the legal limits of the EU and Turkey. A residue of carbofuran, which is banned in Turkey, was found in one sample.

From Xenophobia to Xenophilia: Dickens's Continental Drift
Authors: Grass Sean
Published: June 2022

In the decades between Charles Dickens's portrayal of Count Smorltork in The Pickwick Papers and his account of the foreign visitor who smashes Mr. Podsnap's chauvinism to atoms in Our Mutual Friend, Dickens's attitude toward Continental foreigners seems to have undergone a radical renovation. This essay argues that one key to understanding Dickens's “drift” from xenophobia to xenophilia is to trace its imaginative origins in the essay “Travelling Abroad” (1860), which centers upon an English traveler on the Continent who is dogged by nightmarish visions of cannibalism and corpses—who is riddled through, that is, with the powerful compulsion to consume what he sees. “Travelling Abroad” thus foreshadows and bridges the sophisticated economic critiques of Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend, and it does so in the act of indicting Englishness, not foreignness, for the barbarity implicit in its narrator's imagined acts. In this sense, I suggest, Dickens's apparently softened view of foreigners in Our Mutual Friend has much to do with his hardened attitude toward England, and particularly his hardened view of the psychological and cultural effects of its maturing capitalism.
Stenography and Orality in Dickens: Rethinking the Phonographic Myth
Authors: Bowles Hugo
Published: June 2022

Drawing on Steven Marcus's claim that by learning and practicing stenography in the law courts Dickens had essentially become a “written recording device for the human voice,” Ivan Kreilkamp has argued that Dickens brought the “phonographic innovations in voice writing” to the writing of the novel. The difficulty with this argument is that Dickens learned shorthand from a hybrid system—Thomas Gurney's Brachygraphy—that was radically different from the classic phonography of Isaac Pitman's Stenographic Shorthand. Unlike the Pitman system, which linked shorthand symbols directly to sound, the Gurney system mediated the link through letters—the learner had to memorize symbols which stood for letters rather than for sounds. This essay will argue that Brachygraphy's extra level of alphabetical mediation meant that Gurney shorthand was essentially, and unusually, a creative stenographic system. The nature of the creative language processing implicit in the learning of Gurney shorthand will be described and its implications for Dickens's writing processes will be discussed, drawing on examples which suggest that Gurney stenographic processes were themselves represented in Dickens's fiction and involved in episodes from his life. The overall influence of Gurney shorthand on Dickens's language processing suggests that theories regarding his legacy in relation to “orality,” particularly his position and role in “phonographic” interpretations of nineteenth-century culture, may have to be reconsidered. At the same time, we should recognize the importance of the Gurney method in influencing Dickens's creative use of language.
Recognizing Status in Charles Dickens'sHard Times
Authors: Pionke Albert D.
Published: June 2022

Although most often read for its fictional—and, for many reviewers and critics, vaguely unsatisfying—response to the condition of England question, Hard Times also analyzes the historical peculiarities of Victorian middle-class status with sufficient sophistication to test the limits of later sociological and cultural theory from Max Weber and Pierre Bourdieu. Attentive to several of the warrants that might legitimize the exercise of domination in Victorian society and reliant upon the use of type concepts at the level of character, Dickens identifies each possible warrant for public domination with one or more representative characters, whose respective loss of status before the end of the narrative then undermines his or her associated warrant. Their systematic repudiation results in a figure “of wonderful no-meaning,” middle-class status, which is provocatively constructed by Dickens on the basis of a series of categorical negations, and which therefore can be confirmed only through its recognition from those—whether circus performers or periodical readers—in a position to be dominated. In rendering status a highly figurative and uncertain affair, Hard Times suggests that ultimately novelists may be the best sociologists when it comes to representing the epistemologically unstable society of the Victorian middle classes.
What Estella Knew: Questions of Secrecy and Knowing in Great Expectations
Authors: Sasaki Toru
Published: June 2022

Great Expectations is filled with secrets. They are sometimes accompanied by the characters' puzzling behavior. For example, near the end of the novel, quite improbably, Estella is presented as if she knew about Pip's predicament: his discovery of the identity of the benefactor. There are other instances of similarly improbable “knowings” in the text. I submit that they may have derived from the novelist's real-life situation; his secret affair with Ellen Ternan and the consequent fear and anxiety (What if they know? They must know). These feelings led Dickens to put various “knowings” in the text, with the result that he was not aware they were too many to sort out. Also, I wish to demonstrate that this anxiety manifests itself most interestingly in “the play within the novel”; the melodramas in which Wopsle performs.
Mobilizing National History against Refugees: A Czech Polemic on Migration
Authors: Frankl Michal
Published: June 2022

The article analyzes the radical anti-migration ideas promoted by the respected Czech historian Jaroslav Pánek and the debate around them as a case study in how history is used, or not used, to substantiate anti-refugee and anti-migrant policy and emotion. Starting by outlining the arguments in Pánek’s book European Migration Crisis, a response to the migration “crisis” of 2015, the article further discusses the broader context of reactions to refugees in the Czech Republic and the controversy that developed after its publication. The final section analyzes Pánek’s longer intellectual trajectory and traces the roots of his anti-migration positions in his earlier historical research. While many of Pánek’s views can be easily dismissed as fabrication, conspiracy theory, or nationalism, it is essential to read such arguments carefully in order to understand the backlash against refugees in the formerly Communist countries. His book is an example of how national and regional history can be mobilized to negate the transition from emigration to immigration societies. Pánek’s choice of usable past demonstrates how nationalist historiography complicates the discussion of refugee reception in the region with the experience of uncertain democracies, ethnic conflicts and cleansing, and a history of emigration.
Refugees Welcome to History and Memory: Polish (and Jewish) World War II Exiles in Hungary
Authors: Zessin-Jurek Lidia , Katalin Kelemen Ágnes
Published: June 2022

After 2015, the Hungarian and Polish governments voiced their vehement opposition to the idea of the European Union distributing refugees among its member states in a quota system while at the same time cherishing the history of Hungary welcoming Polish refugees during World War II. This episode in history fits into the proverbial tradition of camaraderie between the two countries. Meanwhile, aid to refugees in 1939 was strongly tainted by selective discriminatory criteria—as today (refugees from Ukraine: yes, from Syria: no)— which shows a repetition of regional practice toward refugees. Reading against the patterns of historiographical and commemorative traditions of both countries, this article discusses the sinusoidal presence of this refugee topic in Hungary and Poland. The recent discourses created around this case of international solidarity have depended strongly on political decisions and major debates taking place in both societies, including their coming to terms with the Holocaust and the refugee situation unfolding in Europe after 2015.
A Commentary on the So-Called Defense of Christian Europe: The Fidesz Party’s Response to the Migration Crisis in Hungary
Authors: Kondor Katherine
Published: June 2022

This essay examines the issue of migration in Hungary since 2015, focusing in particular on the way in which Viktor Orbán and the Fidesz government have mobilized populist fears of a migrant invasion as a key trope in their efforts to construct an illiberal state, and how in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis in Afghanistan, they have continued to capitalize on populist (mis)conceptions of the so-called migrant crisis in the lead-up to the 2022 elections. Beginning with a description of Fidesz as a populist radical-right party, the essay examines Orbán’s response to the migration crisis in summer 2015 and concludes with an analysis of official Fidesz social media posts over a two-week period in September 2021. Confident in its self-proclaimed historical mission, Fidesz has used the perceived migrant crisis not only to argue that the liberal policies of the European Union are a threat to the future of European culture and civilization, but also to position itself as the protector of Hungary, and of Christian Europe more generally.

Authors: Shah Muhammad Asif Ali , Asif Zian , Fatima Aiman , Raheel Neelam , Sikandar Mirza Zeeshan
Published: June 2022

Background: Fever caused by dengue is one of the most important potential viral re-emerging diseases, especially in sub-tropics and tropics, infecting around fifty million people all over the world. Dengue virus (DENV) is spread through mosquito bite and is a member of the genus Flavivirus and has four serotypes (DENV-1, 2, 3, and 4), all of which are capable of inducing hemorrhagic dengue fever and dengue shock syndrome. There are several fates of infection caused by dengue virus ranging from asymptomatic infection to subclinical infection and clinical presentation that may be undistinguishable fever or dengue hemorrhagic fever. Active surveillance, effective reporting and case management can reduce the threat of dengue. Methodology: The current KAP survey of dengue assess the knowledge, attitudes and preventive practices of the general public which through statistical analysis showed the mismatch between the knowledge and practices towards dengue disease. Results: The results of current study have identified that the participants in the survey had negative knowledge, attitudes and practices toward dengue. The KAP parameters decreased along with decreased educational status, exposure to telecommunication facilities, awareness about the signs/symptoms, severity and fatality of disease and about the mosquito related preventive measures. Conclusion: It was concluded that in the current KAP survey the Knowledge, Attitudes and Preventive practices towards dengue fever among all the participants was different and this difference mainly due to backward education system, low socio-economic status. Keywords: Dengue, Flavivirus, KAP, Fever.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an inflammatory disorder of the nose and paranasal sinuses lasting for 12 weeks or longer. Aim: To explore the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and common allergens in chronic rhinosinusitis patients. Methods: The study was conducted in Department of ENT at Dr. Akbar Niazi Teaching Hospital Islamabad from April 2021 to March 2022. On the basis of inclusion criterion, one hundred patients of CRS included in this study. All patients met the diagnostic criteria for CRS through, history, nasoendoscopic examination, and radiological findings. Allergic rhinitis was diagnosed on the basis of skin prick test (SPT). All patients who were operated for CRS were excluded from the study. Results: Male and female ratio was almost equal with slight male predominance. The incidence of polypoidal CRS and non-polypoidal CRS was 52 (52%) and 48 (48%) respectively. Almost two third of polypoidal CRS patients suffered from severe disease based on Nasoendoscopic examination and radiological findings (CT-Scan). The commonest presenting symptoms were nasal discharge and nasal blockage effecting around 92% and 91% patients respectively. Skin prick test (SPT) showed 73% patients were suffering from allergic rhinitis with pet dander being the most common allergen. Conclusion: Chronic Rhinosinusitis is a common disease and majority of patients develop CRS secondary to allergic reaction. Early diagnosis of allergic rhinitis with identification of specific allergens and its management can help in prevention of CRS.

Published: June 2022

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the commonest malignancy in the female and it is gaining its significance due to worldwide rising incidence. It is also important due to 2.5% higher incidence in Pakistan as compared to neighbouring countries. Nottingham prognostic index (NPI) is an important prognostic factor of BC. It provides information about survival and morbidity. There are significant variations in different studies. Aim: To carry out current study relating NPI with various histopathological parameters of BC. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study was done at the Department of Pathology, King Edward Medical University Lahore with the collaboration of four surgical units of Mayo Hospital Lahore from 2010 to 2019. Total 137 cases of breast carcinoma were included. Information about age, grade, primary tumor size, axillary lymph node status and stage was entered in the pre designed proforma. NPI was calculated as 0.2xtumor size(cm)+lymph node grade. NPI was scored as excellent, good, moderate and poor and its correlation was calculated against primary tumor size, lymph node grade, tumor grade and stage. Results: We studied 137 cases of breast carcinoma with mean age 49.32±11.64 years. Mean NPI was 5.4±1.4 with range of 2.4 to 9.4. NPI scores in poor 65(47.4%) and moderate 61(44.5%) groups were significantly high as compared to good 10(7.3%) and excellent scores 1(0.7%). Most of the cases of poor NPI were in p T3 and p T4 whereas this was p T2 with moderate score. Poor score of NPI was significant in grade 3 which is in contrast to moderate score where grade 2 dominated the picture. Correlation of NPI with LNG was in favor of LNG 1 with good and moderate scores while LNG3 dominated in the poor group. In stage III, 49 cases (35.8%) were seen with poor score of NPI. Conclusion: NPI is an important prognostic parameter and it can be studied with different histopathological parameters to see correlation between them. In the current study majority of the cases of NPI scored at poor and moderate levels. Correlation coefficient was linear, strong and positive especially with LNG. Mean NPI has ascending correlation with these parameters. Thus NPI can be used as a prognostic indicator when comparing with histopathological parameters of BC. Keywords: Breast cancer, NPI, tumor grade, tumor stage, LNG

Results: 146 cases of benign breast lesions were collected in the pathology department for a period of 5 years. The most frequently encountered lesion were fibroadenoma (45.8%), breast abscess (22.6%) and fibrocystic change (11.6%). The other benign lesions observed were granulomatous mastitis (7.5), gynaecomastia (5.4), sclerosing adenosis (2.7%), phyllodes tumor (2.0%), fat necrosis (1.3%) and tubular adenoma (0.6%). Conclusion: Benign lesions of the breast are more common as compared to malignant with a peak incidence in the 2nd and 3rd decade. Clinical evaluation followed by histopathological assessment provided the accurate diagnosis. Early excision, assessment and confirmation of the lesion on histopathology help us to distinguish benign from the malignant disease.

Published: June 2022

Adaptive selection and utilization of the nesting and foraging resources utilized by Milvus migrans makes them more successful predators. High degree of nest loss due to predation is the major threatening in natural habitat, easiness in nest construction and camouflage from predators leads to a high degree of nest success and fledging success on the mobile tower is observed to be the major factor to such a selection behavior. Survival rate of fledglings on mobile tower in 2013- 74 %, 2014- 81%, 2015- 96 % and in 2016 - 100% with total of 89 % survival for all four years. In natural habitat 2013- 65%, 2014 -63%, 2015-65%, 2016 -55% and the black kites (Milvus migrans) conventionally use nesttrees as Cocosnucifera, fig species, Azadirachta indica, Tamarindus indica, Mangifera indica etc., while nowadays due to various anthropogenic stress including wetland depletion, drastic urbanization leads to habitat fragmentation and shortage of appropriate nest trees would compel them to select an alternative remedy to tolerate the short comings in the breeding ground. Shrinkage of ideal habitat make their life more competitive in both intraspecifically and interspecifically. As a part of that there would be a strong trend to select mobile towers as nesting habitat among black kites. Test association between nest type and survival has a chi-square value of 19.44 with P value <0.0001. Therefore, there is strong association between survival and nest type (tower/tree) i.e., nests in tower have significantly higher survival rate. The higher survival rate in the tower is mainly due to low predation rate, while it is higher in natural habitat. Black kites considering as potential scavengers and their ecosystem services also considerably high. So, retaining and protection of natural habitat is a strong recommendation initiative to protect these umbrella species insitu.

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a política pública para o Atendimento Pedagógico Domiciliar no Distrito Federal. Do ponto de vista metodológico, pesquisa qualitativa. Realizamos estudo exploratório, usando pesquisa documental, com dois instrumentos para a recolha de dados: carta de solicitação de dados e busca eletrônica nos documentos relacionados à matrícula de estudantes em situação de Atendimento Pedagógico Domiciliar disponibilizados nos sites: das secretarias de educação dos estados brasileiros; dos Conselhos Estaduais de Educação e das Câmeras Legislativas. A técnica de análise dos dados foi análise documental.  Concluímos que as leis por si só não garantem a oferta do Atendimento Pedagógico Domiciliar. No estado do Rio de Janeiro, a carta de resposta da Defensoria Pública mostrou que a Secretaria Estadual de Educação do Rio de Janeiro não faz uso da regulamentação do Estado e os estudantes que precisam do serviço têm acesso apenas às atividades domiciliares. No Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, a oferta do Atendimento Pedagógico Domiciliar compreende toda uma estrutura organizada para ações que visam melhorar continuamente a escolaridade e a resolução de novas demandas. Em nossa opinião, o Atendimento Pedagógico Domiciliar no Distrito Federal exige não apenas leis, mas ações coletivas e discussões permanentes com diferentes segmentos da sociedade.

Background: Premedication in pediatric population helps to produce a relaxed state with reduced anxiety and increased.  These pre-medications, midazolam and dexmedetomidine are effectively used as sedatives. The present study was planned to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intranasal midazolam as a pre-anesthetic medication in children. Fear of unpleasant and painful procedures, separation from parents and unwillingness to breathe through an anaesthesia face mask may produce stormy anaesthetic induction in unpremeditated patients. Because of this premedication should be an integral part of paediatric anaesthetic practice. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the Intranasal administration of Midazolam and Dexmedetomidine as Premedication on Haemodynamic Stability among Paediatric Patients. Material & Methods: This Comparative study was carried out at Department of Anaesthesiology, P K DAS Institute of Medical Sciences, Vaniamkulam, Ottapalam  Kerala, India  . A total of  70 Paediatric Patients of  both sex age group between 1- 5 year from the routine surgical list of our Hospital were included in the study. The children were divided into two groups i.e. 35 in each based on the premedication received and by random allotted numbers.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year,  More than four out of five CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes, and one third of these deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of age .  The circulating Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone system (RAAS) comprises liver - secreted  angiotensinogen (AGT) that is enzymatically  converted  into  angiotensin I (Ang I). ACE, as a key component in RAS, converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II,  Angiotensin II increase the production of adhesion molecules and chemokines stimulates LDL oxidation and foam cell formation in macrophages,  Increased level of the ACE and subsequent ACE activity by raising the production of angiotensin II can lead to atherosclerosis . A number of 100 subjects were involved in this investigation, 100 patients of CVDs in AL-Saddir Hospital and AL Hkem Hospital, in AL- Najaf province, 70 of them with CVDs  and the other 30  healthy individuals,  were used as control.The study was conducted to find out the importance of Determination of angiotensin-converting enzyme concentration in cardiovascular patients and some clinical and biochemical variables .

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the cause of the highest mortality rate among noncommunicable diseases, Some of the main risk factors for CVD include smoking, hypertension, high body mass index, lipid metabolism disorders, and diabetes mellitus, according to emerging evidence, Genetics and polymorphisms are thought to play an important role in the occurrence and progression of CVD. A number of 100 subjects were involved in this investigation, 70 of them with CVDs and the other 30 healthy individuals were used as control. The study was conducted to find out the importance of ACE gene polymorphism and biochemical variables in CVDs patients. In addition, the study aimed to investigate the effect of gene polymorphism on CVDs. The comparisons between genotypic frequency of ACE gene polymorphism in control and CVDs  patients  showed a significant increase (p≤0.005) in DD, ID  genotype   in CVDs  patients compared to control , where II genotype significant decreased in CVDs patients compared to control. Our results show insertion mutation at 550bp only in CVDs patients, this mutation not show in other research.

Flowers are a key source of released fragrance volatiles in the biotic world. Despite the fact that volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have low molecular weights, low polarity, and low vapour pressures, the process of volatile release is influenced by the floral tissue’s morphology, anatomy, and cellular properties. Polianthestuberosa L. is a flowering plant in the Agavaceae family (also known as Asparagaceae and Amaryllidaceae by some botanists) that is commonly seen in Bangladeshi gardens. In India, tuberose is commonly known as Gulchari and Galshabbo in Hindi, Rajanigandha in Bengali, Sukandaraji and Nelasanpengi in Telugu, NilaSampangi in Tamil and Sugandharaja in Kannada.

Health is riches. India is progressively becoming health aware. Indians have acknowledged the need of health insurance. Owing to this awareness, the medical insurance market is one of the fastest expanding areas in India today. The new economic strategy and liberalization approach implemented by the Government of India since 1991 prepared the door for privatization of insurance industry in the nation. . According to the Investment Commission of India the healthcare industry has achieved exceptional growth of 12 percent per year in the previous 4 years. All increasing income levels and expanding older population elements are fueling this rise. In addition, shifting demographics, illness profiles and the move from chronic to lifestyle diseases in the nation has contributed to increasing expenditure on healthcare insurance products. The research seeks to analyze the consumers’ awareness degree of knowledge about health insurance and the variables impacted them in choosing of policy(s) (s). It was revealed that customers are aware of insurance plans. And some elements such as policy characteristics, policy advantages have major impact on the choosing of insurance policy and purpose of keeping it.
