The key findings from this study serve as a useful path towards resolving the difficulties and issues related to speaking skills.
The Disintegration of Pakistan 1971: A Critical Study on The Role of Language Conflict In East and West Pakistan (1947- 1971)
Authors: Ali Roman , Hussain Ibrar , - Hanzibin
Published: February 2024

Language is a crucial aspect of human communication and identity, and conflicts between different inhabitants of regional spoken languages can be detrimental to a nation's unity and integrity. Pakistan, created based on religious demand, disintegrated due to regional language issues, which provided a platform for separatists. The Bangladesh freedom war can be traced back to the historical background of East Pakistan, which was not only due to geographical and economic factors but also a lack of sightedness on the part of political parties and leadership. The government believed that the demand for the Bengali language was driven by Hindus and fifth columnists. The language movement, which began in 1947 and culminated in the separation of East and West Pakistan in 1971, provided a foundation for Bengali nationalism. The government's misinterpretation of ground realities allowed separatists to divert patriotism and anti-Pakistanism. The current paper highlights the linguistic controversy responsible for the disintegration of Pakistan.

Authors: Akteruzzaman Md. , Sattar Shaila Binte , Anwar S. M. Javed
Published: February 2024

In response to the national policy, compulsory English courses are offered to all undergraduates in Bangladesh, and all of them must attend mandatory English lessons at the secondary level for 12 years. This study started with an observation where learners from non-English departments, compared to the BA English students, were found to be less motivated during classes, lacked essential language skills for advanced-level courses, and were unwilling to improve their linguistic repertoire. 162 participants from two universities in Chattogram, Bangladesh, were selected for this mixed-mode research to conduct a three-phase study within a self-determination theory (SDT) framework, a comparatively newer model of studying human behaviour. It is utilised as a macro theory to examine human psychology and the mechanism of probable actions, and the three dimensions of SDT (autonomy, competence, and connectedness) were tested to assess learners’ determination level and address the issues mentioned above. Based on follow-up qualitative data, the study concluded that learners’ inconsistent conduct is influenced by externally regulated behaviour. They resist this extrinsic pressure from the beginning of their English education in schools and fail to feel connected to the existing language teaching practices leading to such output at the universities.
Exosome-mediated mechanisms in lung cancer metastasis and advancements in medical submission: A comprehensive review
Authors: Patel Devanshu J. , Kademane Asha , Singh Ashok Kumar , Reddy Eluri V.
Published: February 2024

Lung cancer holds a prominent position in cancer-related fatalities, contributing to a quarter of all cancer deaths, with metastasis accounting for a significant majority of these mortalities. Recent investigations have placed a growing emphasis on exosomes and their intricate role in driving the advancement of lung cancer. These investigations have shown that exosomes have a role in both the metastatic and pre-metastatic phases of cancer development by facilitating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), immune evasion, and angiogenesis. These nano-sized extracellular vesicles derived from lung tumors augment cell proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis as well as exert control over anti-tumor immune activities and drug resistance during lung cancer. Furthermore, exosomes are investigated as valuable tools for liquid biopsy assessment, offering potential applications in the prognosis and diagnosis of pulmonary carcinoma. With their distinctive attributes of biocompatibility, stability in circulation, reduced toxicity and tumor specificity, exosomes present a promising avenue for delivering therapeutic agents. The current understanding of exosome-mediated pathways and cargoes points towards a rich source of potential therapeutic targets for managing pulmonary carcinoma metastasis and assessing prognostic significance in prognosis, diagnosis and combating resistance to tumor-targeting drugs.
Assessing medication levels in patients and investigating the connection between sports participation and cardiovascular disease (CVD): A systematic review with clinical implications
Authors: Mishra Ravi Shankar , Sharma Hemlata , Patel Geetika M. , Renuka Jyothi R.
Published: February 2024

Individuals who have been diagnosed with risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are prescribed drugs by healthcare experts, since it is the leading causes of death globally. Exercise is recommended to improve the cardiovascular system since it lowers the risk of cardiac diseases including stroke and ischemic heart disease. However, the relationship between lung function, heart failure and physical exercise is uncertain. This comprehensive review was employed to assess medication levels in individuals with CVD, investigate the potential connection between sports participation and CVD as well as clarify the relationships between total, domain-specific exercise along with linking cardiovascular-respiratory fitness to the probability of heart failure, with a focus on the clinical implications of these findings. The review included 15 prospective studies out of 5000 publications found in searches of the PubMed and Google Scholar databases up to 2019-2023. According to research, frequent and intensive physical exercise decreases CVD risk as well as has a good influence on medication levels in CVD patients. This pattern corresponds to leisure-time physical activity, highlighting the significance of combining exercise into regular activities. Physical exercise is essential in reducing CVD, altering medication levels and improving heart health. Regular strenuous exercise improves lipid profiles and blood pressure (BP) control, which helps CVD patients manage their medications better. Cardio-respiratory fitness is critical for lowering CVD risk, enhancing drug results and lowering adverse events, implying that organized exercise programs might provide considerable therapeutic advantages. These findings support suggestions to enhance physical activity levels in the general population.
A brief review on recent advances in reverse phase HPLC
Authors: Pund Swati , Nalawade Sapnarani , Rajurkar Vikas , Jayatpal Suresh , Deshmukh Nitin , Tare Harshal
Published: February 2024

Modern chromatography is mostly used for analytical purposes. Modern pharmaceutical and biological analysis uses HPLC. It separates molecules from heterogeneous liquids and characterizes them. Mass spectrometry identifies peptides, proteins, and other compounds after high-performance liquid chromatography. HPLC's flexibility and dependability (pressure-driven liquid support) make it popular. However, fast separation often creates high operating pressure, which stresses HPLC equipment. Thus, core-shell silica microspheres and zirconia packing have been produced recently. Fused-core or superficially porous microspheres have solid cores with porous shells. Despite its low pressure, this device can separate small, large, and intricate molecules. It is effective and fast. UPLC offers greater resolution, sensitivity, and separation times than HPLC; however, it may be less reproducible. Rapid Resolution Liquid Chromatography (RRLC) is more precise and sensitive than HPLC, improving sample analysis quality and quantity. This review will highlight column technology basics and RP-HPLC advances and focuses on the concept of HPLC.

The impact of the form of public governance on the economy
Authors: Nurseiit Nurlan
Published: February 2024

There is a direct connection between the model of the system of governance in a specific country and its impact on rights, freedoms, growth rates, and the standard of living of its population. In turn, the choice of a governance model depends on the action of various factors, such as the cultural level and development of society, the availability of natural reserves, the quality of the education and science system, and the level of development of the system of country’s governance. From a theoretical point of view, the parliamentary model of governance is considered the most favorable in terms of upholding citizens' rights and freedoms and promoting the well-being of the population. The presidential model ranks second, while the super-presidential model performs modestly. The testing of theoretical assumptions regarding the impact of different models of republican governance on a country's development was conducted using a sample of 147 countries. The sample encompassed the years 1995 to 2021 and was derived from the World Bank database. However, it is important to note that countries with forms of governance such as absolute monarchy or junta considered to be backward were excluded from the sample. The empirical testing conducted supports the hypothesis that countries with a parliamentary form of governance have higher expected growth and well-being for their population in the long run. However, the countries using super-presidential, presidential models of governance, and countries with limited constitutional monarchies, exhibit lower expected long-term growth rates of per capita income.

Published: February 2024

The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of suicidal ideation and associated circumstances among students in ethnic boarding schools. The research employed a self-administered structured questionnaire adapted from the Vietnamese version of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) to assess the responses of 164 boarding school students. The results revealed that 12.2% of the students reported experiencing suicidal ideation within the last 12 months, with no discernible gender differences. Utilizing chi-square and logistic regression analyses, the study identified significant associations between suicidal ideation and factors such as a lack of parental understanding, insufficient peer support, and mental health challenges among students. The findings underscore the potential mitigating role of school social workers in addressing these risk factors and enhancing students' adjustment to the boarding school environment. The paper recommends the development of suicide prevention programs tailored to the specific needs of ethnic boarding school students. The research methodology involved the use of questionnaires in sociological surveys and employed SPSS tools for analysis. Furthermore, the study employs analytical, synthetic, historical, logical, statistical, and comparative methods to present its findings.
Quantitative assessment of sedimentation in Moroccan dam reservoirs: analysis and projections
Authors: Mohafid Said , Stour Laila , Agoumi Ali
Published: February 2024

The siltation of dam reservoirs is the phenomenon that most embarrasses dam managers and water reservoir operators. In Morocco, this phenomenon affects all the watersheds to different degrees. Dam managers schedule bathymetric measurement companies to estimate the quantities of mud deposited in reservoirs. These companies are neither regular in time nor generalized on the 152 large dams of the Kingdom because of the high cost of the bathymetry operations. In our research work, the bathymetric data available for about a century were collected, checked, corrected, and sorted to be exploited.In the next step, we extrapolated over time and updated the siltation rates for each dam according to the trend curves of the evolution of silted volume. Most of these trend curves were linear. For the nonlinear curves, we looked for explanations throughout history. These are dams whose reservoirs have undergone human intervention such as desilting operations or emptying of reservoirs, or following natural phenomena such as drought or exceptional floods. The research work subsequently made it possible to estimate the annual siltation rates for 53 large dams whose reservoir capacities total approximately 92% of that of the entire country. It also revealed an overall siltation rate of 18.14% for the entire country and rates ranging from 10% to 52% for each watershed. The discussions of these results in this article give explanations on the highest rates, based on the natural data of the watersheds in question. These results will help decision-makers to define the priorities of desilting operations or the construction of new dams, help investors and industrialists wishing to extract and use mud from dam reservoirs as raw material, and can also be used in various scientific fields such as dam reservoir management, flood risk prevention, environmental impact studies, spatial planning, and research and development studies.
The tracing engagement and support of Abdurrauf As-Singkili in the history of Sultanah Safiatuddin’s leadership in Aceh Sultanate (1641-1675)
Authors: Riezal Chaerol , Purwasito Andrik , Susanto Susanto , Djono Djono
Published: February 2024

This paper aims to reconstruct the history of Sultanah Safiatuddin’s leadership in the Aceh Sultanate and analyze Abdurrauf As-Singkili’s involvement in supporting women’s leadership in Aceh. This paper uses historical research methods. The use of historical research methods in this research is carried out through five steps: topic selection, heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study show that the Aceh Sultanate in the 17th century underwent a vital change marked by the emergence of the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin (1641-1675) as a representation of women’s leadership in the Aceh Sultanate in the 17th century. During his 34 years leading the Aceh Sultanate, Sultanah Safiatuddin recorded some outstanding achievements despite the many serious threats. Many factors caused the emergence of the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin, and one of them was the involvement of scholars in Aceh, such as Abdurrauf As-Singkili, who gave full support to the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin. The support given by Abdurrauf As-Singkili to the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin can be traced through three steps as follows: (1) Abdurrauf As-Singkili was willing to publish the book Mir’at al-Thullab written at the request of Sultanah Safiatuddin. In Mir’at al-Thullab, Abdurrauf As-Singkili expresses a critical thought about the ability of women to be appointed leaders and judges; (2) Abdurrauf As-Singkili accepted the offer of Sultanah Safiatuddin to be appointed mufti or advisor to the Aceh sultanate with the post of Qadhi Malik al-Adil; and (3) Abdurrauf As-Singkili succeeded in stopping opposition groups that were anti- women’s leadership. The three supports confirmed that Abdurrauf As-Singkili recognized and strengthened women’s leadership in Aceh led by Sultanah Safiatuddin. This support became crucial for the leadership of Sultanah Safiatuddin because Abdurrauf As-Singkili had transformed into a political force owned by Sultanah Safiatuddin.
Multicriteria decision analysis tool for faculty performance evaluation in higher education institutions
Authors: Mamatha Hadal Kumaraswamy , Sridhar Ramakrishna , Somanatha Balasubramanian
Published: February 2024

Higher education institutions (HEIs), which are the major economic drivers in a nation, rely on their faculty for quality. The quality of faculty performance is assessed through performance appraisal methods. Performance appraisal methods help management assess the performance of employees and further the scope of improvement. Traditional methods of performance evaluation based on quantitative data involve more mathematical calculations than scientific approaches. The drawback of these methods is that they consider overall scores and not the individual factors of performance. This is exceptionally relevant when there are multiple disciplines in HEIs. In this study, the Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) model using MACBETH is used to explore its usefulness in explicitly dealing with the trade-offs between performance measures, making the process of performance measurement and management more transparent and defendable. Faculty performance across different disciplines was considered in this study, and faculty performance was evaluated using the MACBETH score. The advantage of MACBETH is that weight can be assigned to specific criteria, and accordingly, analysis can be carried out. Based on which criteria are assigned the highest weight, that factor is considered for the final output. In this study, the results obtained showed significant differences in the performance rankings of the faculty members when compared to those of the traditional methods, suggesting that the FSTs are useful tools for performing performance appraisals.

In vitro propagation of stone fruit rootstock cultivar Evrica 99 and its influence on some phytochemical traits of fresh apricot fruit
Authors: Melyan Gayane , Santrosyan Gagik
Published: February 2024

Background: The cultivation of stone fruits is of primary importance in Armenia. Their fruits contain antioxidants, fiber, potassium, vitamin A, C, E, minerals, etc., which have a beneficial effect on human health and prevent many diseases. The concentration of those components varies depending on ecological factors, cultivar, rootstock, cultural practices, etc. Clonal rootstocks are important for increasing orchard density, tree uniformity, and high yields, and they can also affect fruit quality. In vitro culture is a valuable method for rapid propagation of high-quality, virus free plant material.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop in vitro production technology for the stone-fruit rootstock cultivar Evrica 99, and to determine if rootstocks affect some fresh fruit traits of ´Yerevani´ and ´Sateni´ apricot cultivars.
Methods: The shoot apical meristem and lateral bud served as explants for shoot regeneration. Different sterilizing agents at various periods of exposure were used for the explant surface sterilization. Various concentrations of phytohormones, both individually and in combinations, were employed for in vitro regeneration and rooting of plants. The titratable acidity (TA), dry matter (DM), vitamin C, mineral content, total carotenoids (TC), and sugar contents were evaluated in fresh fruit.
Results: The most optimal option for explant surface sterilization was the gradual application of calcium hypochlorite [Ca (ClO)2] (2.0% solution, exposure time 10 min) and ethanol (70% solution, exposure time 20 s), as a result of which we had 75.5% survival rate of explants. The efficient medium for in vitro shoot regeneration was MS supplemented with 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP) 0.8 mg/l, Kinetin (Kin) 0.2 mg/l, and Gibberellic acid (GA3) 1.0 mg/l. The half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.8 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) was optimal for in vitro rooting. Rooted plants were successfully adapted with a survival rate of 85.0%. The defined method can be successfully used for 'Evrica 99' cultivar micropropagation. The results obtained showed that fruit quality strongly depended on both the varieties and the rootstock tested.
Conclusion: In the current study, an alternative in vitro propagation technology for rootstock cultivar ´ Evrica 99 was developed by direct organogenesis, enabling mass-scale production of virus-free plants that is suitable for commercial purposes as well. The apricot cultivars ´Yerevani´ and ´Sateni´ grafted on the virus-free rootstock cultivar Evrica 99 showed higher fruit quality traits, which are essential for human health and diet.
Keywords: ´Evrica 99, fucnctional foods, in vitro regeneration, micropropagation, plant growth regulators, stone fruit rootstock, tissue culture.

Data-Driven Strategies for Fuel Distribution in Indonesia: A Case Study of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga
Authors: Tiarazahra Kania Lovia , Ambarwati Rita
Published: February 2024

Fuel oil or what is often referred to as BBM is one of the basic needs to drive all community activities. So the government appointed PT Pertamina as a single company which is a state-owned company to facilitate fuel needs for all levels of society. However, with increasing demand, the government formed a new policy to allow private companies to come in to meet all fuel demand. With this, PT Pertamina is no longer the only fuel supplier in Indonesia and must continue to develop mature strategies so that profits do not fade. One way is by examining sales data and predicting customer loyalty. The RFM method followed by the decision tree algorithm and k-means clustering is applied in this research, with the output being able to determine the level of customer loyalty, the level of salesman performance, as well as predicting the potential for customers to churn and its correlation with the salesman's skills. The data used as a reference for the research is sales transaction data obtained from PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Jatimbalinus. And from the research, results showed that the majority of PT Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Jatimbalinus customers are loyal customers. With a salesman, performance is divided into good performance and less good performance. This grouping is obtained based on the salesman's overall performance track record. As for customer churn predictions, it was found that there was 1 group of customers who were predicted to churn heavily, but this was not influenced by salesman performance, as evidenced by transaction track records in existing data

Бюджетні інвестиції у воєнний час в Україні відіграють важливу роль у відновленні економіки та покращенні добробуту населення. Вони дозволяють створити нові робочі місця та стимулювати економічний розвиток. Одним із завдань уряду України є забезпечення бюджетних інвестицій у воєнний час. Це дозволить запобігти повному зупиненню інвестиційних процесів та створити основу для відновлення економіки після завершення війни. У статті проаналізовані доходи місцевих бюджетів та частка міжбюджетних трансфертів у них, а також пріоритетні напрями бюджетного інвестування з боку держави у 2023 р. З’ясовано, що кошти розподіляються між різними секторами, що вказує на різні пріоритети та цілі уряду, але пріоритетом стали таки напрями як ліквідації наслідків збройної агресії рф, підтримка підприємництва та регіональний розвиток. Також у статті проаналізована інвестиційна діяльність держави у розрізі фінансування Державних програм, завдяки яким малий, середні та великий бізнеси отримали доступ до пільгового кредитування і фінансового лізингу. Даний аналіз дозволив зробити висновки, що бюджетне інвестування відіграє надзвичайно важливу роль у воєнний період для підтримки громадян країни так і для бізнесу. Обмежені бюджетні кошти спонукають уряд України до залучення додаткового фінансування як на внутрішніх, так і на зовнішніх фінансових ринках для бюджетного інвестування.

Наукова стаття досліджує, систематизує та узагальнює існуючі наукові концепції, які покладені в основу існуючих видів КСВ та пропонує сучасну класифікацію видів КСВ, ґрунтуючись на концепції сталого розвитку та досягненні Цілей сталого розвитку. Дослідження, здійснене на основі опрацювання КСВ-практик підприємств, дало змогу виділити п’ять основних видів корпоративної соціальної відповідальності (КСВ), які обґрунтовані прикладами їх успішної реалізації на підприємствах: стале виробництво та споживання, соціальні ініціативи та благодійність, забезпечення корпоративної етики та управління, турбота про співробітників та їх розвиток, а також глобальні ініціативи. Результати дослідження дозволили визначити основні засади імплементації кожного виду КСВ на підприємствах, враховуючи їх вплив на соціальні, економічні та екологічні аспекти діяльності.
