Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the nexus between Technology, Foreign Direct Investment, Trade and Income Inequality in GCC countries. The study used the panel dataset of GCC countries from the period of 1990 to 2021. The dependent variable used in a model is Income Inequality as measured by the GINI coefficient, while explanatory variables are GDP per capita growth, GDP per capita squared, foreign direct investment, inflation rate, unemployment rate, secondary school enrollment, trade, and information and communication technology. Different econometric techniques such as ARDL, Cross-Section, and Granger causality test are applied for data analysis. The Panel ARDL technique is used to estimate the results in which GDP per capita growth, inflation rate, unemployment rate, and information and communication technology index are positively and significantly related to income inequality while the variables square of GDP per capita, FDI, secondary school enrolment, and trade are negatively and significantly associated to the income inequality in GCC countries. Panel ARDL short-run outcomes found that the coefficient of the ECT (-1) is negative and also statistically significant. This indicates that 33.51 percent of errors are corrected when moving from the short-run to the long-run equilibrium. Panel Granger causality analysis found that there is a unidirectional causality between income inequality and GDP Per Capita, trade. There is no evidence of a causal relationship between income inequality and foreign direct investment, inflation, unemployment, secondary school enrolment, trade,  the information and communication technology index. Additionally, there is no evidence of a causal relationship between the latter two variables and income inequality. Considering the study's findings, it is determined that technology, economic growth, unemployment, and inflation are encouraging income inequality in GCC countries while FDI and trade are playing an imperative role in declining the level of income inequality in GCC countries.
Climate Change and Accumulating Water Scarcity in Pakistan: A Case Study of Karachi's Water Infrastructure and Resilience
Authors: Shahid Anum , Ali Syed Haider
Published: September 2024

This case study examines Karachi's water shortage, aggravated by climate change and fast development. With a population of nearly 20 million, Karachi is primarily dependent on the Indus River Basin, Keenjhar Lake, and Hub Dam for its water supplies. However, because of the city's expanding population, outdated infrastructure, and unpredictable weather patterns, these sources are under a great deal of strain. The research looks at how these problems have become worse due to climate change, which has caused powerful monsoons, more frequent and severe droughts, and increasing temperatures that have all affected the quantity and quality of water.This water catastrophe has an influence on public health, food security, economic stability, and the environment. The most vulnerable residents of the city are heavily burdened by the rise in waterborne illnesses, the fall in agricultural production, and the increase in water costs. The management of the city's water resources is fraught with difficulties for the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB), ranging from antiquated infrastructure to budgetary limitations and ineffective administration.Karachi has responded by putting in place a number of measures to lessen water shortages and improve resilience. These include investigating new freshwater sources, installing water meters, and renovating water pipes. The city is also spending money on cutting-edge technology like desalination facilities and intelligent water management systems. In order to handle the issue, community-based efforts and foreign help have also been essential, although there are still gaps in the construction of infrastructure and the application of policies.This research emphasizes the need to manage water resources in Karachi using a thorough, multifaceted strategy. Advanced water loss control, integrated water resources management (IWRM), public-private partnerships, urban development that is climate resilient, and increased public awareness are some of the policy proposals. Other cities dealing with comparable issues may learn a lot from Karachi's water dilemma.

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that requires long-term care and family support. However, many families struggle with caring for a family member with schizophrenia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of family centre-based counselling on families' abilities to care for schizophrenia patients. This study employed a pre-experimental design with a single-group pre-test and post-test. The sample consisted of 18 relatives of schizophrenia patients, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention, in the form of family centre-based counselling, was conducted over two meetings. Data on the family's ability to care for schizophrenia patients were collected using a questionnaire and analysed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test. After the intervention, the family's ability to care for schizophrenia patients improved significantly (p=0.001). Before the intervention, 72.2% of families had poor capabilities (average score 11.44), whereas after the intervention, 88.9% of families demonstrated good capabilities (average score 23.22). Family centre-based counselling was proven to be beneficial in enhancing the family's ability to care for schizophrenia patients. This approach is recommended for use in community-based mental health interventions.

Authors: Priyadi Priyadi , Sunarsih Elvi , Ambarsari Ambarsari , Navianti Diah
Published: September 2024

Street sweepers are at high risk of exposure to air pollutants, making them vulnerable to respiratory problems. Therefore, preventive measures are necessary. This study used a descriptive observational survey with a cross-sectional design. The results indicated that 35 respondents (68.6%) had good knowledge about mask-wearing, 46 respondents (90.2%) had a positive attitude, and 36 respondents (70.6%) had sufficient actions regarding mask-wearing. Data analysis showed a p-value > 0.05, indicating no significant relationship between mask-wearing behavior and respiratory complaints. The conclusion is that while the behavior of wearing masks among street sweepers is not related to respiratory complaints, the length of service and education level are related to such complaints. These findings suggest that other factors, such as the duration of employment and education, play a more crucial role in influencing respiratory health among street sweepers. Thus, efforts to improve respiratory health should also focus on these aspects in addition to promoting mask usage.

Mitral Facies: A Case Report
Authors: Thai Phan Hao
Published: September 2024

A 42-year-old woman presented with sudden weakness of left side. Her medical history was rheumatic mitral stenosis 8 years ago. On physical examination was remarkable her rosy cheeks, whilst the rest of the face has a bluish tinge called Mitral Face. It is the classic facial appearance in mitral stenosis, a plum-colored malar flush, occurs only when cardiac output is low and pulmonary hypertension is severe; cause is cutaneous vasodilation and chronic hypoxemia. In addition to cardiac auscultation was an irregularly irregular rhythm, a loud S1 and accentuated P2, an opening snap, and a III/IV decrescendo diastolic rumble at the apex. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed findings typical of rheumatic mitral stenosis. The mitral leaflets were pliable, with restricted mobility of the leaflet tips, resulting in doming and a “hockey-stick” appearance of the anterior leaflet in diastole. There was notable subvalvular thickening. Cross-sectional imaging of the stenotic orifice demonstrated thickening restricted to the leaflet tips. Continuous-wave Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a transvalvular gradient persistent throughout diastole, with a mean transvalvular gradient of 14.6 mm Hg. The estimated valve area was 0.9 cm2 on direct planimetry of the restrictive orifice. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure was 45 mmHg.
The concept of spatial and temporal visibility
Authors: Чжэн Н.
Published: September 2024

в статье анализируется понятие пространственно-временной наглядности в преподавании английского языка. В учебном процессе наглядность является способностью понять и освоить ядро предлагаемой модели при изучении ограниченного количества её свойств. Наглядные средства стимулируют познавательный интерес обучающихся, формируют их усиленное эмоциональное отношение к работе, способствуют прочному усвоению знаний, обеспечивают разностороннее формирование образов и понимание путей практического применения теоретических знаний. При изучении английского языка у обучающихся формируется вторичная языковая личность и новая языковая картина мира, обязательным условием гармоничного развития которой является освоение её предметного и социального пространства. Ключевой задачей обучения английскому языку является развитие у обучающихся пространственно-временного мышления, представляющего собой способность концептуализировать трёхмерные отношения объектов в пространстве и мысленно манипулировать ими как последовательностью преобразований в течение определённого периода времени. Использование цифровых средств пространственно-временной наглядности позволяет говорить о новом типе учебной наглядности – интерактивно инсценированной интеллектуальной наглядности, способствующей эмоционально-чувственному познанию. При этом актуальным вопросом визуализации учебного материала является корректный и адекватный выбор необходимых и достаточных средств графической и иллюстративной наглядности.

the article analyzes the concept of spatial and temporal visibility in English language teaching. In the educational process, visibility is the ability to understand and master the core of the proposed model while studying a limited number of its properties. Visual aids stimulate the cognitive interest of students, form their enhanced emotional attitude to work, contribute to the solid assimilation of knowledge, provide a versatile formation of images and understanding of the ways of practical application of theoretical knowledge. When learning English, students form a secondary linguistic personality and a new linguistic picture of the world, a prerequisite for the harmonious development of which is the development of its subject and social space. The key task of teaching English is to develop students' spatial-temporal thinking, which is the ability to conceptualize three-dimensional relationships of objects in space and mentally manipulate them as a sequence of transformations over a certain period of time. The use of digital means of spatial and temporal visualization allows us to talk about a new type of educational visualization - interactively staged intellectual visualization that promotes emotional and sensory cognition. At the same time, the relevant issue of visualization of educational material is the correct and adequate choice of necessary and sufficient means of graphic and illustrative visualization.
