IMAGOLOŠKI ASPEKTI PUTOPISNE PROZE JEROTEJA RAČANINA
Authors:   Institute of Danube-Swabian History and Regional Studies (Tübingen), Germany, Trifunjagić Danica
Published: January 2024

The paper analyses imagological aspects of Jerotej Račanin’s travelogue. One of the most important characteristics of the Putovanje ka gradu Jerusalimu (Journey to the city of Jerusalem) is that it appears at the border between two genres and two epochs in Serbian literature. Though the patern for this text is to be found in medieval proskynetaria, a significant level of subjectivity and moving away from the given norm is to be detected, which places the work within the travelogue genre. The fact that the text is still rather similar to proskynetaria decreases the level of the presence of the Other and makes the imagological analysis more difficult, but in the same time, it represents and example that both auto- and hetero-images could be found in seemingly strictly organized texts.
PSIHOSOMATSKE VALENCE MELANHOLIJE U ROMANU ČEDOMIR ILIĆ MILUTINA USKOKOVIĆA
Authors:   State University of Novi Pazar, Department of Philology, Serbian Literature and Language, Serbia, Pantović Marija
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we deal with the psychosomatic valences of melancholy through which a melancholic narrative is established and the characterization of subjects, as bearers of primary meaning codes, is clarified. The aim of the work is to present the genesis of Čedomir Ilić’s melancholy, from childhood to death. In the position of a modern subject, it is possible to observe how Ilić creates meaningful relationships towards otherness and/or towards the self, the splits of which actually reveal his psychological state. In this way, one gains insight into the realities that the subject (re)creates with current entities. The work tried to show the subject’s position in relation to childhood, family, intellectual life and the relationships he builds with Bela and Višnja, which gives insight into the meaning system of melancholy.
FILIP K. DIK: OD FANTAZIJE DO DUHOVNE REALNOSTI
Authors:   Institute of European Studies (Belgrade), Serbia, Gajić Aleksandar
Published: January 2024

With a critical review of the modest аchievements of contemporary science fiction as a literary genre, the Paper introduces us to the work of one of the few original authors of this genre during the second half of the 20th century, Philip K. Dick. Starting from the biographical data’s related to this marginal writer of Pulp fictions who only gained world fame and literary recognition posthumously, the first part of the Paper focuses on Dick’s understanding of fantasy and the fantastic, which are, because of their breadth and dystopian characteristics, more popular today than in the time when they were written. The second part of the Paper deals with the religious and spiritual attitudes that prevail in the second part of the writing oeuvre of Philip K. Dick, which are interpreted as his personal attempt at a literary search for the vertical of normality and true humanity in a world of spiritual and technological alienation.

In order to survive ethnic groups and nations use various resources, among them cultural. According to A. D. Smith, the key cultural resource in this struggle for survival has always been a rich ethno-history. The most important element ethno-history is a myth of ethnic (national) election, which determines a special place of a given group in human history. This myth has got two forms, contractual and missionary. The Serbs do have a very rich ethno-history, which is mostly expressed through the Serbian national epic poetry. Myth of Kosovo (Kosovo oath) represents the Serbian myth of election (contractual form) and has been a key cultural resource of survival throughout history, especially in the times of foreign domination. Therefore the preservation and intergenerational transfer of Myth (Oath) of Kosovo is the task of various social actors. Among these actors, the great deal of responsibility goes for the state, i.e. the political elite

Published: January 2024

Background: Psoriasis goes beyond skin, intertwining with body systems, notably connecting to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aims to explore the predictive potential: liver function tests and IL-6 as early markers for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in psoriasis patients. 
Methods: From March to November 2023, a case-control study was performed at the dermatological outpatient clinic of Baquba Teaching Hospital, Iraq. Individuals with confirmed psoriasis and those without underwent comprehensive clinical history and overall health examinations. The diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was established using the Fatty Liver Index (FLI).
Results: Among the 290 participants in this study, 103 with confirmed psoriasis displayed a Fatty Liver Index (FLI) score >60, indicative of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The control group, comprising 101 individuals without psoriasis or NAFLD, provided a baseline for comparison. The mean ages were 32.5 ± 16.2 and 31.5 ± 14.3 years for the case and control groups, respectively. Notably, the case group exhibited significantly higher mean ± SD levels of ALT and AST (61 ± 29 vs. 33 ± 17 U/L, p < 0.0001) and (55 ± 27 vs. 25 ± 15 U/L, p < 0.0001), respectively. Moreover, FLI criteria were markedly elevated in the case group (p = 0.0007, p = 0.0005, p < 0.0001, and p < 0.0001, respectively), and IL-6 levels were significantly higher (p = 0.0003).
Conclusion: The results proposed that liver function tests and IL-6 could act as early predictors for the detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among individuals grappling with psoriasis.

Published: January 2024

In the recent era of medicine, Novel Oral Anticoagulants (Apixaban, Dabigatran, Edoxaban, and Rivaroxaban) have become the preferred drugs for long-term anticoagulation therapy in the majority of cardiovascular conditions, along with non-cardiac co-morbid conditions with few necessary exceptions. This preference is based on their easy availability, therapeutic efficacy, all-cost effectiveness, safety profile, and more convenient usage for both patients and clinicians.
Novel Oral Anticoagulants (NOACs) have different pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics than oral vitamin K antagonists. This article highlights the basic pharmacology, common complications, available antidotes, and the utility of NOACs in different common cardiovascular diseases requiring long-term oral anticoagulation, including stroke prevention in valvular and non-valvular atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, left ventricular thrombus and cerebrovascular attacks.
NOACs are still underutilized in cardiovascular practice because the concomitant co-morbid conditions hinder a clinician from prescribing these drugs confidently. This manuscript will provide a brief critical overview to help clinicians prescribe NOACs more conveniently.

Published: January 2024

Objectives: The “early repolarization (ER)” pattern, previously regarded as benign, has recently shown associations with adverse outcomes, including all-cause, arrhythmic and cardiac mortality. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors linked to ER changes in the ECG among chest pain patients at a tertiary cardiac center.
Methodology: We enrolled 271 patients aged 18-80 with chest pain complaints. Baseline 12-lead ECGs were used to assess the ER pattern. Multivariable binary logistic regression was conducted, and “odds ratios (OR)” with 95% “confidence intervals (CI)” were reported.
Results: Of the 271 patients, 162 (59.8%) were male, with a mean age of 55.3 ± 10 years, and 40 (14.8%) were ≤45 years old. The ER pattern was present in 92 (33.9%) patients. The ER pattern was associated with low “body mass index (BMI)” (OR=0.85 [95% CI: 0.77 - 0.94; p=0.002]), shorter T-wave duration (OR=0.99 [95% CI: 0.98 - 1.00; p=0.008]), and lower heart rate (OR=0.94 [95% CI: 0.90 - 0.98; p=0.007]). Additionally, the odds of ER pattern were lower in patients with “ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)” (OR=0.23 [95% CI: 0.07 - 0.72; p=0.012]) and non-STEMI (OR=0.21 [95% CI: 0.07 - 0.63; p=0.006]) compared to non-cardiac chest pain.
Conclusion: Early repolarization is a common ECG pattern in one-third of chest pain patients. Associated factors include low BMI, shorter T-wave duration, and lower heart rate, and it is less frequent in patients with STEMI and non-STEMI.

Published: January 2024

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is caused by Pasteurella multocida serotypes B: 2, a Gram-negative coccobacilli bacterium. It causes fatal septicaemia with high mortality in cattle and buffaloes. Disease control and prevention are by effective HS vaccination in animals. A study was conducted on one mixed breed cattle calf for back passage of haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) seed strain C82. Prior to bacterial inoculation in the calf, Mouse Protection Test (MPT) was conducted to ensure the calf is free from any HS antibody. The calf was injected subcutaneously with 0.5 ml dilutions of 10-3 of the bacteria incubated overnight (approximately 106 CFU/ml). After ±30 hours inoculation, post-mortem was conducted on the calf showing sign of HS. Heart blood and organ samples were collected and cultured on blood agar to determine bacteria purity. Blood and organ samples were also sent to the bacteriology laboratory in VRI for confirmatory tests. The death of the calf is confirmed by re-isolation of Pasteurella multocida Type B. Heart blood collected was processed, freeze-dried and keep as vaccine seed for further usage in vaccine production. Revival of vaccine seed is needed to ensure its pathogenicity and functionality for production purposes.

Published: January 2024

The Lagos-Shagamu-Abeokuta Expressway is a globally important biodiversity hotspot and is facing rapid loss in floristic diversity and changing patterns of vegetation due to various biotic and abiotic factors. This has necessitated the qualitative and quantitative assessment of floral diversity and population structure. The vegetation survey along this route was conducted using the systematic sampling methods. Three sample plots of 50 m x 50 m were laid in alternate side at 100m interval. In each sample plot, all living trees (with GBH at 1.3 m of trees) greater than or equal to 3 m high at midpoint were measured. A total of 4212 individuals representing 134 species, 117 genera, and 48 families were recorded. Fabaceae was the dominant family in this route with 22 species, followed by Euphorbiaceae (8 species), Apocynaceae (8 species), and Poaceae (5 species). Among genera, Senna was followed by Ficus, Terminalia, Cola, Clerodendrum, Albizia, and Alchornea. The population structure of woody species based on diameter class distribution reflected reversed J-shape. The species diversity indexes for dominance (0.02, 0.06), Simpson index value (0.97, 0.93), Shannon–Weiner (3.91, 3.25), evenness (0.59, 0.52) and Margalef (11.22, 6.15) were recorded for arboreal and non-arboreal species respectively. Results obtained revealed high diversity of woody species in the vegetation along this route. The non-arboreal species along this route is threatened by continuous animal grazing, intensification of commercialized farming and invasive species. The information on tree species structure and function can provide baseline information for the conservation of the biodiversity of the tropical forest in this area.

Published: January 2024

Küreselleşme ve uluslararası ticaret, günümüz ekonomik faaliyetlerinin iki önemli unsurudur. Fakat firmaların ve ülkelerin küresel pazarların değişken rekabet ortamına uyum sağlayarak rekabet avantajı yakalamaları oldukça zordur. Uluslararası ticaret literatüründe firmaların rekabet avantajı yakalamalarını sağlayacak pek çok yöntemden bahsedilmektedir. ‘Küresel Marka’ sahipliği bu yöntemlerin en yenilerinden birisi olarak dikkat çekmekte ve yerli/yabancı araştırmalara konu olmaktadır. Bu çalışmalarda; yaratılan küresel marka ile işletmelerin sadece ürün ve hizmetlerinin tanıtılmadığı; aynı zamanda firma adına değer yaratma ve tüketici sadakati oluşturma süreçlerinin de bu oluşumdan önemli ölçüde etkilendiği gözlenmektedir. Ayrıca yerel işletmelerin küresel pazarlardaki rekabet avantajlarının ‘Küresel Marka’ sayesinde arttığı da anlaşılmaktadır. ‘Küresel Marka’ ve uluslararası rekabet avantajı arasındaki etkileşimin incelendiği çalışmanın örneklemi; Denizli ilinde TURQUALITY desteği alan tekstil firmaları olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda üç tekstil firması olduğu tespit edilmiş ve bu firmaların ikisinin dış ticaret departman üst düzey yetkililerine ulaşılarak; hazırlanan anket formu yüz yüze görüşmelerle doldurulmuştur. Elde edilen veriler, nitel olarak değerlendirmeye alınmış, tema ve betimsel analiz ile elde edilen bulgular sınıflandırılırken; içerik analizi ile bu bulgular yorumlanmıştır. Bu bulgulara göre firmaların TURQUALITY desteği alsalar da kendi markalarını ‘Küresel Marka’ olarak görmedikleri ve gelecek 10 yıl içerisinde de bu gerçeğin değişeceğine inanmadıkları sonucuna varılmıştır.
FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE AND ITS EFFECT ON MILK YIELD: AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS ON CATTLE AND BUFFALO HOLDERS IN HYDERABAD, SINDH
Authors: Mari N. N. , Sial M. , Nagraj A. N.
Published: January 2024

An investigation of the impact of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) on milk production among cattle and buffalo farmers was conducted in Hyderabad, Sindh, Pakistan. 120 farmers who owned buffaloes participated in the study, equally distributed across the upper and lower parts of Hyderabad. Clinical symptoms led to the initial suspicion of FMD, which was later validated by field tests or laboratory findings. Prior to FMD, a buffalo produced an average of 12 liters of milk every day. However, throughout the course of the next 60 days, milk output drastically dropped after the commencement of the clinical illness. In one region, the projected milk loss per buffalo during this time was about 250 liters, whereas in the other, it was about 210 liters. According to the study, the total milk loss for the 120 lactating cattle and buffaloes was about 5,914,800 Pakistani rupees. Based on the supposition that cow milk was worth around 250 PKR per liter and buffalo milk about 200 PKR, this computation was made. This demonstrates the FMD's significant economic impact on local milk production. The expected benefit-to-cost ratio for immunizing all animals in the two locations was calculated to be 6.1 under the assumption that giving a high-quality vaccine that corresponds to the circulating FMD strains might avoid clinical illness.

Authors: Iftikhar A. , Hafsa  , Farooq R. , Abdullah F. , Ali M.
Published: January 2024

It is widely acknowledged that viruses are essential elements of the aquatic Environment, contributing significantly to various ecological processes and altering the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems. The variety of viruses in aquatic habitats, including freshwater and marine ecosystems, is enormous. Numerous different types of organisms, such as bacteria, algae, protozoa, and even multicellular organisms, are susceptible to these viral interactions, and these organisms have a significant impact on the design and operation of aquatic ecosystems. In aquatic ecosystems, viral-mediated mortality facilitates the recycling of nutrients and energy by influencing the composition of microbial populations. Additionally, viruses participate in genetic transfer procedures and are essential for horizontal gene transfer. They also serve as genetic material carriers, allowing the transfer of genes between various organisms. This phenomenon affects the ecological balance in the aquatic Environment and the evolution and adaption of microbial communities. Viruses can be used as instruments to investigate microbial ecology, comprehend host-virus interactions, and create fresh antiviral tactics. Viruses are essential to the health and stability of aquatic environments. Aquatic viruses have attracted attention because of their potential utility in various sectors, including biotechnology and medical research; they are essential elements of the aquatic environment due to their capacity to control microbial populations, reduce toxic algal blooms, and offer insights into microbial ecology. Our comprehension of these complex interactions and their larger implications for environmental health and management will be improved by additional study and investigation of viral dynamics and interactions within aquatic ecosystems. This review attempts to present an overview of the significance of viruses in aquatic ecosystems by highlighting their variety of roles and interactions.

Published: January 2024

The present experiment was conducted in a rectangular aquarium for three months to evaluate the growth performance of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Growth performance of Common Carp were studied under four different feed supplements i.e. Feed contained Rice and Wheat bran (CG), Fish meal (T1), Poultry meal (T2) and waste proteins (T3). These four different supplementary feed were supplied to fish which were kept in four different tanks at Aquarium (Fisheries Lab) in Zoology department UAJ and K Muzaffarabad, at the rate of 0.25 gm/per day. Initially, at the time of stocking, the morphometric characteristics, viz, average body weight and average body length was measured. After initiation of experiment, these morphometric characteristics as well as physico-chemical parameters (pH and water temperature) of the water were recorded on daily basis throughout the study period. Average Body weight of Common Carp was recorded as, 13.91±1.592, 10.88±0.617, 11.96±0.967, 10.841±0.725 gm under treatment T1, T2 and T3 and Control group respectively. The final body weight of fish in Control group and treatment groups showed that fish kept in T1 (P-Value=0.003) have gained the maximum body weight, while other treatment groups showed no significant statistical difference. Final Body Length of Common Carp was recorded as 7.44±0.169, 11.28±1.407, 8.031±0.473, 9.293±1.490cm under Control group, T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The final body length of fish in Control group and treatment groups showed that fish kept in T1 (P-Value = 0.001) gained more length followed by T3 (P-Value = 0.007). There is no significant statistical difference in Control group and T2. These results suggest that T1 containing the 30% wheat and rice bran supplementary diets can increase the fish maximum body weight and body length.

Women empowerment is an important factor in the growth of any country. It means equal social standing of women to their male counterparts in any society. However, even today, in the 21st century, women’s empowerment is a global issue and is prevalent in most societies, particularly in patriarchal societies. Since Pakistan is a patriarchal society, women in Pakistan are subjected to marginalization and social exclusion, especially in rural areas. This research work studied the complex nature of socio-economic factors and cultural norms that affect the empowerment level of rural women in Sindh, Pakistan, and what interventions can be implemented to improve their social, economic, psychological conditions, and political participation as well as decision-making power with an aim to achieve the following objectives: i) to study the socio-economic background of rural women; ii) to determine the social empowerment levels of rural women; iii) to determine the psychological empowerment; iv) to determine the economic empowerment levels; and v) to determine the political empowerment levels among the rural women of Sindh, province of Pakistan. The present study was conducted using a quantitative survey methodology with a close ended five-point Likert scale questionnaire focusing rural women of Sindh. The research questionnaire consisted of indicators related to socio-economic status, cultural norms, and empowerment level of rural women. The surveyed data was then analyzed using IBM SPSS software. Results drawn under the study inferred that the rural women of Sindh remain highly unempowered socially, psychologically, economically as well as politically with a weak socio-economic background. The study further recommends strong policymaking along with the introduction of various schemes in support of gender security by provincial and federal governments and strict measures taken for the implementation of policies.

The objective of this study is to analyze the situation of major crops cultivated in Sindh province of Pakistan. The current study is based on secondary sources of data of the major crops such as wheat, cotton and sugarcane cultivated in different zones of Sindh province for instance upper, middle and lower Sindh.The discripitve analysis of study shows the cultivation area and  production of  three major crops such as wheat, cotton and sugarcane. High productivity of wheat was recorded in the districts of Khairpur, Ghotiki, Shaheed Benazirabad, Dadu and Mirpurkhas whereas low production of this crop was observed in the districts of Larkano, Badin and Tando Muhammad Khan. The production of cotton in the districts of Ghotiki, Khairpur, Shaheed Benazirabad, Tando Muhammad Khan and Badin was higher than the Dadu and Larkano districts. The situation of sugarcane crop remained better in the districts of Ghotiki, Shaheed Benazirabad, Badin, Tando Muhammad Khan and Mirpurkhas while two districts i-e Larkano and Dadu had less product of this crop. Average production of wheat stood 228,328.78 million tons (Mt) against cultivation of area 65,353.47 hectares. The average yield of cotton remained 216,829.92 bales against average cultivation area of 37,430.18 hectares. Average product of sugarcane recorded 1,381,970.18 Mt against average cultivation of area 22,763.13 hectares in eight selected districts of Sindh province during the period 2015-16 to 2019-20. The regression analysis of the time series data shows that temperature has significant effect on the productivity of the selected crops (i-e) wheat, cotton and sugarcane. While the rainfall has no significant effect on the productivity of the selected crops. The study suggests that government should concentrate to provide more facilities to growers in shape of small loans, subsidies, fertilizers and sufficient water during crops rotations. Moreover, the agriculture sector needs consistent policies to ensure rural employment.

Abstract : In the context of learning Arabic, mahārat al-kalām is one of the main skills that must be mastered by students and is one of the ultimate goals of learning a foreign language. In learning the success or failure of a learning objective greatly influences the learning methods and concepts used, one interesting method to use is the inductive method, namely a method whose learning concept is student centered (student centered learning) so that learning is more effective and enjoyable. The objectives of this research are (1). To find out the process of learning speaking skills using the inductive method, (2). To find out the difficulties and provide solutions in learning mahārat al-kalām using the inductive method, (3). To determine the level of effectiveness of using the inductive method in improving Madrasah Aliyah Qamarul Huda Bagu. The approach used in this study is a mixed method approach with an Exploratory Sequential Design research design, namely this strategy relies on collecting and analyzing qualitative data first, then moving on to the process of collecting and analyzing quantitative data. The result of this study is that learning mahārat al-kalām uses the inductive method which is carried out through 2 stages (1). Students are asked to express or describe using Arabic whose theme is given by the teacher, then the teacher analyzes and helps students improve their sentence structure. (2). Students infer language rules from examples of conversations and descriptions that have been done. Maharah Kalam learning using the inductive method at the Qamar al-Huda Bagu aliyah madrasah was declared effective with the results of the t test: t-test > ttable (14.661 > 1.66901) with a 95% confidence level. Then the significance value with SPSS is sig. (2-tailed) of .000 < 0.05.

One of the ways to maintain the authenticity of the Quran now is by printing and publishing official mushaf, which is regulated through a decree of the Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. And the phenomenon of industrialization has spread to various aspects of life, even religion. The Quran is a religious symbol that has experienced the most industrialization process through the Quran printing process. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the extent of the commodification of the Quran in Indonesia so that the Mushaf becomes a commodity. Using a qualitative method and descriptive-analytical techniques with the lens of religious commodification, this paper finds that the market for Quran copies in the contemporary era is those who are technologically literate. Thus, Quran copies are printed on a large scale and marketed in offline and online stores with the aim of meeting people's needs for the Quran. Therefore, the commodification process is based on the people's need for the Quran which is increasing from time to time, and is supported by government policies related to the printing of the Quran copies. Even though the Quran copies are printed without using attachments and additional features but purely the text of the Quran, the copies will still become commodities. Due to the increasing demand of the community for the Mushaf and becoming a business field for Mushaf printing, it results in a process of production by producers and consumption by consumers, which then results in buying and selling transactions of Quran copies. And in the end there was a dimension of commodification in the manuscripts of the Koran.
