Objectives: Gender has been reported to be an independent predictor of stent thrombosis (ST), however, very limited data are available regarding gender disparities in the incidence of ST after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the incidence of ST among males and females after primary PCI.
Methodology: In this study, we included consecutive patients diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI. The incidence of ST and short-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were compared between male and female cohorts.
Results: The gender distribution was 21% (368) female and 79% (1388) male patients. In the unmatched cohorts of females and males, the incidence of ST was 3.3% (12) vs. 5.3% (74); p=0.102, respectively. Short-term all-cause mortality rate was 12.2% (45) vs. 8.6% (119); p=0.032 among female and male patients, respectively. After propensity matching of the baseline characteristics, the incidence of stent thrombosis was 3.3% (12) vs. 4.9% (18); p=0.263 among females and male counterparts, respectively. The short-term all-cause mortality rate was 12.2% (45) vs. 10.6% (39); p=0.487 among female and propensity-matched male cohorts, respectively.
Conclusion: There are no gender-based disparities in the incidence of ST as well as short-term MACE after primary PCI. The gender of the patient itself does not determine the prognosis of the patient, but longer ischemic time, older age, and consequently higher burden of risk factors confound the effect of the female gender.

Authors:   Nanobiotech Lab, Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi, Delhi, Kathpalia Renu
Published: October 2022

Food preservatives are unswervingly being used for prolonging the shelf life of food, often to increase the aroma, taste and quality by food packaging industry. These food preservatives are pivotal in protecting food from degradation and deterioration by micro-organisms. Two of the most commonly used food preservatives, viz. sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and Monosodium glutamate (MSG) have been evaluated using root tips of Allium cepa. Cytological studies in plants offer a first-tier bioassay that are sensitive and reliable. Allium cepa is used as an experimental model as it shows chromosomal aberrations and other morphological abnormalities as that of the mammalian systems. Dose and time dependent evaluation of the mitotic damage was done on the root tips of onion (Allium cepa). Mitotic Index (MI) was calculated based on the cytological observation post-treatment with their respected controls. Chromosomal abnormalities like chromosomal bridge and laggard, multipolarity and stickiness in the chromosome was observed in the treated sample.

Authors: Hamid Raashid , Ahmad Shoib , Bhat Nisar
Published: October 2022

Background: Rectal atresia (RA) is a unique and rare congenital malformation contributing to about 1% of anorectal malformations. It may be associated with an abnormal sacrum and a presacral mass. The sphincter mechanism in these cases is well developed. Different surgical procedures have been described for correction of this anomaly, with variable outcomes.
Case Presentation: We present three cases of rectal atresia with their management. All the patients presented in early neonatal life with failure to pass meconium. All the patients underwent colostomy in neonatal life as initial management. Definitive surgery was performed later in all patients. All the patients are doing fine on follow-up with good continence.
Conclusion: The Posterior Sagittal Approach with the division of septum/tissue between the rectum and anal canal and end-end anastomosis gives excellent results.
Institutionalization of the Indo-Pacific: Assessing the Cases of QUAD and IORA
Authors: Niranjan Gajula Sai
Published: October 2022

The Indo-Pacific signifies the integration of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean into a singular regional construct. The region is experiencing debates over regionalism, and the Indo-Pacific concept is invoking the idea of regional-ness broader than that of "Asian regionalism." A new discourse of institutionalization is emerging in the Indo-Pacific as regional institution-building is a requisite step in regional construction and an essential step towards gaining recognition and acceptance for political ideas and concepts. This paper examines the process of institutionalization in the Indo-Pacific region. The cases of QUAD and IORA have been chosen for investigation. QUAD, the first Indo-Pacific institution, is undergoing structural changes expanding its priorities, and its members are dedicated to transforming it into an effective institutional platform. Quad is still a nascent institution, but its members are determined to strengthen the framework and reassure their commitment to the group and its endeavor of an "open, prosperous, and rules-based" regional order. IORA, primarily an Indian Ocean player, has a diverse and broad range of members, issue areas, and priorities and thus has the potential to serve as an Indo-Pacific institution. IORA is cognizant of the economic and political transformations occurring in the Indian Ocean region and the broader Indo-Pacific, and set out objectives and passed several declerations regarding diverse issues such as terrorism, blue economy, etc. Nevertheless, IORA must redefine itself and broaden and assert its agenda by undertaking proactive initiatives to ensure its survival amidst the changing regional dynamics.
Bay of Bengal Community to accomplish Regional Cooperation; Rhetoric and Reality
Authors: Reddy Y Yagama
Published: October 2022

The Bay of Bengal (BoB) region is one of the world’s least integrated regions, as the borders of littoral states have turned bulwarks against the mobility of people, capital, goods and ideas, resulting in abysmal levels of trade, connectivity and cooperation. This region has for long confronted with a variety of transnational threats, including some of the most non-traditional security threats to the extent of disrupting regional stability. As much as the growing interest of the extra-regional powers, China’s forage into the Indian Ocean has pushed BoB to be a fulcrum of the wider geopolitical space of the Indo-Pacific. The placid sea of BoB tends to turn into turbulent waters rendering the regional cooperation rhetoric! As much as the shared values, histories and ways of life, BoB has the distinction of accounting for about one-fourth of world population and handling one-fourth of global trade annually. Given the untapped natural resources including the fishing stocks, reserves of gas and other sea bed minerals, BoB littorals are destined to evolve as a distinct community through trans-regional cooperation-initiatives transcending the national frontiers and unwarranted competition. The region’s discernible commonality and perceptible complementarity in many aspects are conducive to sharing technical know-how and pursuing dependable trading relations. Significant disparities in mineral wealth and industrial production are at the base of interdependence testifying to symbiotic modality, as underscored by the BIMSTEC. Justifiably, mutual interests and common concerns are ordained to promote the linkages rather sustainable partnerships among the BoB littorals as to turn the regional cooperation into a reality.
Understanding Legal Frameworks Concerning Transgender Healthcare in the Age of Dynamism
Authors: Singh Bhupinder
Published: October 2022

The topic of LGBTQ rights has sparked fierce debate both at national and global level for a long time. While the country has undoubtedly progressed toward greater inclusivity because of the expansion of certain legal protections for the LGBTQ community and rising societal acceptance of and engagement in LGBTQ-inclusive discourse, the LGBTQ community continues to face discrimination in the workplace, in education, and in healthcare. In recent years, discrimination against LGBTQ people has been more obvious in the hospital setting. Patients reported a variety of experiences with prejudice, including being-denied reproductive treatment, counselling, regular screening, and even paediatric care for their children. For transgender people, transgender health care involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of physical and mental illnesses, as well as sex reassignment procedures. Gender variation, sex reassignment therapy, health hazards particularly in connection to violence and mental health and access to healthcare for Trans persons in various nations throughout the world are all topics covered in transgender health care. Many governmental health care programmes and commercial insurance plans continue to specifically to exclude transition-related health care. Even once these restrictions are gone, one must fight to ensure that Trans individuals have meaningful, complete access to transition-related care, free of costly and needless preconditions and limitations on the sorts of care that can be delivered. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 enacted to provide for protection of rights of transgender persons and their welfare and for matters.
National Identity and War: The case of India and Pakistan
Authors: Srivatsa K Vikas
Published: October 2022

The paper attempts to study the interrelation of war and national identity. It will establish a theoretical framework for nations, nationalism, national identity and the impact of national identity on war and vice versa. Wars start as a clash of national identities, and the longer it perpetuates it gets absorbed into the identity discourse. Hence, as wars stretch longer, the chances of arbitration grow narrower as nations start identifying the war with their nationhood. The paper further analyses the Indo-Pak conflict within the frame work of clash of national identities. It focuses on demarcating India and Pakistan’s national identity and studies the conflict. It concludes that to arbitrate a conflict between nations a historical analysis of the nations in question and a grass roots ethnographic research of war narratives is pertinent.
MN Roy: Transition from Revolutionary to Marxist to Gandhian and Radical Humanist to Politician
Authors: Ahmed Naseem
Published: October 2022

MN Roy was the living embodiment of India’s Revolutionary past. A fourteen -year old boy persuaded Roy to join agitation against the school’s headmaster’s order and Roy became a revolutionary. After being persuaded by Jatinder Nath Das M.N. Roy became a Gandhi follower. Then he met an Anushilan Smithi which helped him in reaching the worldwide level and gaining a reputation. He was exposed to the Marx with the idea that Marx had superior techniques for improving the lives of the unprivileged. He was vocal critic of Gandhi and INC, claiming that their theory was unfounded. Roy was dismissed from the Congress Party by the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee in 1939 because he prompted the idea of assisting the British government in their struggle against Hitler. Roy was dismissed from the International Communist Movement because he did not agree with Lenin’s 21- Points Programme. After that he realized the significance of Gandhiji’s non-violence and Charkha- Movement techniques. The goal of this study is to figure out why Roy favoured Gandhi at first and subsequently became outspoken critics of Gandhi after discovering Marxism. After that he began criticizing Marxism and, as a result, he resumed sailing in the Gandhian Boat. Roy’s departure from Marxism to become a proponent of Radical –Humanism and, eventually a politician will also be explained in this the article. It’s important to comprehend his transformation since he used these ideals as a yardstick for the upliftment of the impoverished. Hopefully, the likely result of bringing this paper will be served. Researchers, intellectuals, and academicians will benefit from incorporating Roy’s philosophy into their respective fields of study. This paper’s research takes the shape of radical –humanism, which aims to discover a permanent solution to the world’s fundamental issues.
India's Act East Policy: Engagement with ASEAN
Authors: Ngalung Masotwung
Published: October 2022

Over the years, India has interacted extensively with Southeast Asia nations. This contact began with trade but rapidly extended to other areas. Indian art, culture, and religion have significantly impacted many countries. The changes in the global political and economic environment in the early 1990s and India's march toward economic liberalisation have strengthened the multifaceted partnership between India and ASEAN. Since 1991, the ‘Look East’ policy (LEP) has played a significant role in India's foreign policy. Though LEP was initially intended only as an economic policy, it has broadened to include political, strategic, and cultural dimensions, developing into an active, result-driven ‘Act East’ policy. The India-ASEAN partnership has upgraded to Strategic Partnership in 2012, which was previously ASEAN Sectoral Partner since 1992, a Dialogue Partner since 1996, and a Summit Level Partner since 2002. There are 30 dialogue mechanisms between India and ASEAN, encompassing various aspects. India will remain critical to engaging with ASEAN for ‘Act East’ and the ambition for the ‘Indo-Pacific’ geopolitical construct. This paper analyses the Act East policy's objective and highlights India-ASEAN relations during the Look East period and how it has transcended into Act East policy. The methodology employed in this paper is qualitative, using a descriptive and analytical method that draws on secondary data and publicly available government documents.
Book Review – Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day by Jonathan Bergmann & Aaron Sams
Authors: Lopez Sandeep
Published: October 2022

Blended learning has become the new normal. Although it is not a new concept and there are many models in place, there is a need to explore the various models and implement them in our present classrooms. Flipped classroom is one of the blended learning models. Even though schools are adopting this model of teaching there is a lot to explore. This is where the need for understanding the models arises. I have often found teachers and educationists struggling with theories, models, and perspectives on using technology for teaching and learning. One of the many problems they face in the classroom is how to keep the gifted or talented learners engaged. The teachers are well aware of the fact that the gifted students often understand the concept in less time than that of a regular student in the classroom; yet they fail to address the needs of the gifted students.

Published: October 2022

School students are a group that is very vulnerable to the risk of earthquake disasters in schools. Hence, a clearer understanding of the concept of earthquakes and readiness for earthquakes is a key element that needs to be given special attention by teachers in educating students. This scenario has prompted various studies to be conducted to evaluate and identify methods and strategies to improve understanding of concepts and earthquake preparedness to students. This is to help reduce risk and build disaster resilience among students. Therefore, the integration of the use of robots in the game learning module is able to help students in understanding the important concepts of earthquakes and the readiness that need to be taken when facing this disaster. This is due to the potential of the inclusion of robots in the teaching and learning process of games to boost student intrinsic motivation, enhance their critical thinking, problem-solving, and metacognition skills, and make it simpler for them to understand difficult concepts. To ensure that the teaching and learning process of the robot game module is perfectly implemented and meets the learning objectives, it is crucial to choose the appropriate theory. This article suggests a theoretical framework based on inclusive review of literatures to explore conceptual understanding of earthquake and earthquake preparedness among school students at Ranau, Sabah.

Authors: Paul Leong Dennis Chan
Published: October 2022

The noble Malaysian Qualification Framework (MQF) has been established by the Malaysian Qualification Agency (MQA) to emphasise the obligation to apply Outcome-Based Education (OBE) for higher education in Malaysia, with the revised version of MQF introduced in the year 2019 to assure the quality of higher education continues to be on par with the current global demand. A year after the launching of the revised edition, the momentum of OBE implementation was interrupted by the unforeseen pandemic crisis, resulting in major disruptions for all higher education institutions. This study intended to explore how OBE has been implemented in a Higher Education Provider (HEP) that offers Open Distance Learning (ODL), as well as its challenges and quality improvement approaches when the implementation was impacted by the unprecedented event. The study applied a qualitative research design and adopted a purposive sampling method to select four participants to join a one-to-one semi-structured interview. Data collected were transcribed and analysed via ATLAS.ti software by using a thematic approach. The finding revealed that the ODL-HEP well-applied the updated version of the framework to achieve the ultimate goal of OBE. However, there were both positive and negative perspectives about OBE in higher education. In addition, four themes namely psychomotor domain, alternative assessment, learning outcomes achievement, and dropout of students were discovered in the OBE implementation challenges amidst the pandemic. The results for the continual quality improvement aspect also revealed five important themes to illustrate how the HEP responded to the challenges and change.

In the past decade, E-commerce has developed and plays a vital role in our daily lives. However, fraud in E-commerce has increasingly become more prevalent and causes huge monetary loss, especially to E-consumers which usually results in them being unable to get what they have paid for. Fraudsters use various modus operandi to trick E-consumers such as displaying cheap goods via online platforms to induce them to pay for the goods. Despite considerable concerns about E-commerce fraud in Malaysia, the legislative sanction is still inadequate due to the deficiency of the existing legal framework. This paper examines the nature of E-commerce fraud, understand the modus operandi, and look into the legal protection afforded to E-consumers in Malaysia. It employs doctrinal content analysis and secondary data from the Malaysian Penal Code and the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998, academic journals, books, news articles and online databases. The authors contend that the lack of legal protection for E-consumers is due to the insufficiency of the law and the lack of awareness of the gravity of the such crime. Effective governance of fraud in E-commerce is imperative to facilitate prosecution and investigation and holistic protection for the victims of cyber fraud.
