Stock exchanges worldwide are discovering the best possible outcomes that can increase trading options in financial assets for potential investors. The principal purpose of the study is to provide an efficient and stable picture of market capitalization of Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) with various macroeconomic variables, which can be helpful to local and foreign investors. The study analyzed the secondary data from 1992 to 2021. Based on the theoretical background, various diagnostics were applied, precisely (ARDL) Autoregressive Distributed Lag methodology. Empirical outcomes confirmed that hypotheses regarding (FPE) Foreign Portfolio Equity, Inflation, (FDI) Foreign Direct Investment, and (GFCF) Gross Fixed Capital Formation affect market capitalization of PSX with significant positive behavior. Only Exchange Rate has significant negative relationship with PSX market capitalization. This study suggests that PSX-listed companies and policymakers require significant attention to improve their operations and increase the market capitalization of firms to catch the capital from potential investors. The government should watch the exchange rate and inflation-controlling factors for the sustainable development of Pakistan in the long run. However, this study has various limitations, such as limited time, resources, and specific data.
Perception positive de la variation géographique du français dans le contexte de l’enseignement du FLE
Authors: Savenkova Aleksandra D.
Published: July 2023

Malgré quelques rares initiatives ponctuelles (méthode « Cosmopolite » de Hirschsprung et Tricot [2017], par exemple), le constat général reste le même : en termes de représentation de la variation diatopique, les manuels de Français Langue Étrangère (FLE) véhiculent une norme artificielle exclusivement parisianocentrée. Pour vérifier si le frein principal à l’introduction de la variation diatopique dans les méthodes de langue vient du rejet des accents régionaux du français par les professeurs de FLE, nous avons procédé à un sondage perceptuel d’acceptation à visée didactique auprès de ce public. Nous avons proposé à des enseignants et des enseignantes de FLE des enregistrements audio avec une prononciation régionalement marquée (des stimuli préenregistrés par des locuteurs francophones de régions françaises (Grand Est et Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Guadeloupe et La Réunion) et de pays francophones (Algérie, Canada, Cameroun, Mauritanie et Suisse). Les résultats montrent une meilleure acceptation de ce type d’extrait dans les manuels, que celle qu’on aurait pu prévoir ; les commentaires justifiant l’acceptation de la variation diatopique par les enseignants de FLE constituent l’objet principal de cet article.

Authors: Khodadadi Samira , Rahmatian Rouhollah
Published: July 2023

Supposant le rôle motivant des outils en ligne dans l’apprentissage des langues, nous avons étudié l’impact de ces outils sur la motivation des apprenants adultes du FLE en Iran. Pour cela, nous avons choisi 30 apprenants de français iraniens avec le même niveau de langue française (A2) et les avons répartis en deux groupes de 15 pour suivre un cours de français en ligne sur la plateforme Skyroom. Les apprenants du groupe expérimental devaient faire leurs devoirs sur les sites web thinglink.com et learningapps.org et le groupe témoin devait faire les activités en utilisant Microsoft Word puis les envoyer à l’enseignant. L’analyse des données recueillies à l’aide d’un questionnaire sur la motivation des étudiants avant et après le cours a montré que la motivation des apprenants du groupe expérimental avait considérablement augmenté.

Authors: Constantinou Georgia
Published: July 2023

Dans l’apprentissage du français langue étrangère, la production écrite est un défi tout autant pour les enseignants dont le temps d’enseignement est souvent compté que pour les apprenants qui manifestent quelques réticences à participer au processus d’apprentissage. Recourir aux outils numériques pour faciliter la production écrite, la rendre plus attractive et efficace est une option pertinente, d’autant que les avantages sont nombreux. Il convient toutefois d’être extrêmement sélectif si l’on veut satisfaire des critères garantissant leur adéquation et leur contribution qualitative au processus éducatif. Dans cet article, nous définirons de fait clairement ces critères avant de décrire « Plume », l’outil numérique d’écriture que nous avons choisi. Nous expliquerons comment il est possible de l’utiliser pour motiver nos apprenants à écrire tout en développant leur créativité et leur imagination. Puis, nous présenterons les résultats d’une enquête que nous avons menée auprès d’apprenants de niveau A1(n=20) d’une école primaire de Chypre ayant été formés à l’outil « Plume » pour la rédaction de courts récits.

Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins to human health as it plays a significant role in human’s various physiological functions including metabolism of phosphorus and calcium, neuromuscular and skeletal homeostasis and is also effective against various diseases. Although it is found in two major forms, vitamin D3 (from animal-derived products) and vitamin D2 (from plant, mushrooms and yeast), it is reported that vitamin D2 functions similar to vitamin D3 as both possess the ability to improve overall vitamin D levels in blood. Also, vitamin D2 obtained from mushrooms do not show hypercalcaemic effects reported during the use of vitamin D3. Hence, we aimed in this study to put mushrooms as a potential source of dietary vitamin D under the spot. Moreover, we mentioned examples of mushroom species reported to contain vitamin D in their composition. Some factors controlling the level of vitamin D in these mushrooms were also highlighted.

Nephroprotective drugs used in the management and treatment of kidney ailments are most times associated with numerous side effects. The desire to search for alternative safer drugs become imperative, hence, the need to explore nephroprotective drugs from the leaf of indigenous plants. This study evaluates the ameliorative effects of ethanolic leaf extract of Clausena anisata on chlorpromazine-induced renal toxicity in Wistar rats. Twenty-five male Wistar rats were grouped into five groups of five rats each. Group 1 rats served as control and received distilled water; Group 2 rats were induced with Chlorpromazine only every other day for 30 days; Group 3, 4 and 5 rats were intraperitoneally administered with Chlorpromazine for 1h and subsequently followed with 50mg/kg bwt, 100mg/kg body weight and 150mg/kg body weight ethanol extract orally every other day for 30 days respectively. The food was withdrawn from the rats and the rats were fasted overnight. The rats were sacrificed, dissected and blood samples were collected through ocular puncture. Nephroprotective effects of the extracts were evaluated by estimating the concentration levels of renal biomarkers such as albumin, creatinine and total protein concentration. Renal histopathological study of the rats was also investigated to validate the findings obtained from the in vivo study. The results concluded that Clausena anisata ethanol leave extract is safe at a dose of 50mg/kg body weight and 100mg/kg body weight; hence, it could be employed at appropriate concentration as an alternative synthetic pharmaceutical with promising effect in the management and treatment of kidney damage.

Authors:   Department of Plant Health Management, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria., Nosike E. N.
Published: July 2023

Degradation and solubilisation of plant organic wastes using P. pulmonarius is a recycling technology that could be explored and adopted in developing countries. The test substrates; saw dust (SD), sugarcane bagasse (SB) and maize stalk (MS) and in combination (SD+MS, SD+SB, SB+MS, SD+MS+SB) contained polysaccharides that were degraded by P. pulmonarius. The hemicelluloses, cellulose and lignin contents of the agro-wastes were significantly (P<0.05) degraded by the fungus to varying degrees. The loss of hemicelluloses content of the substrates ranged from 24.98% with MS substrate to 44.02% with SB substrate, cellulose content from 16.13% with SD substrate to 32.79% with SB substrate and lignin content from 8.07 % with SB substrate to 31.25% with MS substrate indicating that the fungus can not only efficiently degrade agricultural wastes and grow at a wide range of substrates but also of importance in biodegradation and bioremediation of a wide range of wastes and pollutants.

The health effects caused by pollution released into the environment is a continual problem facing the survival of sensitive species on our planet. Even though legislation regulates energy industries in many countries, the continual release of pollutants, such as heavy metal accumulation and persistent organic pollutants, are impacting climate change which will lead to social and cultural changes. These changes will continue to negatively impact both regional and global environments. There is a need for a combination of a One Health ecosystem interdisciplinary approach with an Environmental Justice ethic in order to maintain our ecosystems and the communities which they support at optimal health levels globally.

The urgency of the problem of cerebrovascular diseases can rightfully be defined as an emergency, requiring the concentration of efforts of specialists. This is due to the fact that cerebrovascular diseases of ischemic origin tend to grow, rejuvenate, are associated with a severe clinical course, high rates of disability and mortality. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are involved in the implementation of the basic functions of neurons, such as the transmission of impulses and the functioning of receptors. In this regard, it is of interest to study the morphofunctional features of brain neurons in rats with subtotal cerebral ischemia against the background of the introduction of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and L-NAME. There was a significant improvement in the parameters of mitochondrial respiration when using succinate as a substrate in the group of animals treated with Omega-3 PUFAs and even greater activation in the groups of animals SCI + L-NAME + Omega-3 and SCI + L-NAME + L-arginine + Omega-3. When malate/glutamate was used as a substrate in these groups, the same trend in respiration was observed as when succinate was used to activate mitochondrial respiration. However, changes in succinate-dependent respiration were more pronounced.

Published: July 2023

The study investigated the effect of jigsaw cooperative learning method and students’ self-confidence on students’ academic achievement in fiqih in seventh grade of Junior Islamic High School. Three research questions and three hypothesis guided the study. The study used factorial design 2 x 3 which was a part of quasi experimental design. The subject research was 61 students that was devided into two groups by random assignment sampling. The instruments of study consisted questionaire and test. The questionaire was used to obtain the data of self-confidence, while test was used to gain the data of students’ academic achievement (outcomes). The questionaire contained 20 questions in accordance with compatibility and incompatibility of reaserch sample with the existing statement item while the test instrument contained 25 multiple choice questions. Both of instruments were pilot tested on the students to determine its usability as well as to gain its validity and realiability. The independent sample t-test was used to measure the mean scores of differences between achievement scores of experiment group and control group on pretest while the paired sample t-test was used to measure to measure the mean scores differences between achievement scores of experiment and control group on  posttest. The two way analysis of varian (two-way anova) was used to measure the main effect (different teaching methods on students’ academic achievement) and interaction effect (different teaching methods and self-confidence on students’ academic achievement). The risults shew that jigsaw cooperative learning method helps students to obtain higher academic achievement than demontration teaching method. The risult was also revealed that the academic achievement of experiment group that at higer self-confidence gets higher score than another one. Lastly, there was not significant interaction effect between the two variables (teaching methods and self-confidence) on students’ academic achievement. Otherwise, it indicated that the two variables had a separate effect. This study recommanded that the next study should be done in accordance with these risults by adding or changing the independent variables

Authors: Güngör Feyyaz , Atay Arif , Acar Nihan , Bag Halis , Gür Emine Özlem , Dilek Osman Nuri
Published: July 2023

Objective:Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) affects 13-50% of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and remains the main source of post-PD morbidity and mortality. Therefore, determining predictive risk factors for POPF remains popular today. This study aimed to determine the predictive risk factors for clinically related postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) in the preoperative and early postoperative period in patients that underwent PD.
Methods: This is a retrospective study involving 248 patients who underwent PD between January 2015 and December 2019 in our center. We compared the groups that did and did not develop CR-POPF. We determined the risk factors affecting CR-POPF by stepwise logistic regression analysis.
Results:141 (56.8%) of the patients included in the study were male, and the median age was 63 (56-70)/year. The CR-POPF rate was 18.1%. We found a statistically significant difference (p <0.05) in the following parameters: diabetes, smoking, preoperative leukocyte, preoperative neutrophil, postoperative first day (POD1) amylase, POD1 AST, POD1 ALT, POD1 CRP, POD1 lymphocyte-CRP ratio (LCR), postoperative third day (POD3) lymphocyte, POD3 CRP, in POD3 neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, POD3 platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), POD3 AST-ALT ratio, POD3 LCR, surgeon experience, incision type, Wirsung diameter, pancreatic tissue and operation time. In the stepwise logistic regression model, we found POD1 AST, POD3 CRP, POD3 TLR, diabetes, surgeon experience, and Wirsung diameter as predictive risk factors.
Conclusions: Despite some new methods to reduce the occurrence of POPF, the expected improvement in POPF rates is elusive. Predictive risk factors for POPF may also vary because the response of patients to trauma varies and the postoperative period is very dynamic. In our study, we found POD1 AST, POD3 CRP, POD3 TLR, diabetes, surgeon experience and Wirsung diameter as predictive risk factors for CR-POPF.

Stockpile volumetric calculation is an important aspect in many industries, including construction, mining, and agriculture. Accurate calculation of stockpile volumes is essential for efficient inventory management, logistics planning, and quality control. Traditionally, stockpile volumetric calculation is done using ground-based survey methods, which can be time-consuming, labour-intensive, and often inaccurate. However, with the recent advancements in drone technology, it has become possible to use drones for stockpile volumetric calculation, providing a faster, safer, and more accurate solution. The duration of this project is one year, from May 1st, 2019, until April 30th, 2020, and is comprised of two primary research components: analyzing the properties and classification of limestone and conducting digital aerial mapping to calculate stockpile volumetrics. The scope of this technical report is specifically limited to the aerial mapping aspect of the project, which was carried out using drones. The project involved two phases, with drone flights taking place during each phase, spaced about six months apart. The first drone flight for data collection occurred on July 12th, 2019, while the second took place on December 15th, 2020. The project aims to utilize drone technology for stockpile volumetric calculation, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution. The project will involve the use of advanced drone sensors and imaging technology to capture high-resolution data of the stockpile area. The data will then be processed using sophisticated software algorithms to generate accurate 3D models and volumetric calculations of the stockpile.

Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (Li-NMC) has been regarded as preferred cathode material for Lithium-ion battery (LIB), compared to other materials such as Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LCO) and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO). Ni-rich content displays severe cycling performance and needs to be addressed to improve its performance of electric vehicle. This research focused on synthesis NMC-721 precursors with the oxalate co-precipitation. Furthermore, a variation of lithium hydroxide with the excess of 3% and 5% were added into the precursors, then calcined at temperature 800 ℃ for 12 hours. The product of precursor was analyzed by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) and Particle Size Analysis (PSA) to analyze elemental composition and particle size, respectively. Meanwhile, the NMC-721 cathodes were characterized by an X-Ray Diffraction. The XRF data of precursor shows the ratio of transition metals at 7.5:1.5:1 identifying that more Ni content and less Mn content in the NMC-721, due to oxalate co-precipitation. The PSA shows that the average diameter of the precursor was 9.19 ± 0.31 (µm). The XRD result shows that the crystal structure of NMC-721 cathode belongs to hexagonal structure. It can be concluded that the NMC-721 were successfully synthesized and can be applied for lithium-ion battery.
