Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan has plagued people for decades. The two regions controlled by India and Pakistan were split into a contested line, the Line of Control (LOC). The Kashmiri people face various threats on both sides, and their lives are threatened. However, residents are attached to their place and are reluctant to settle in other peaceful areas. The current study aimed to explore the perceptions regarding the place attachment of the residents living near LoC by asking the following question: what are Sentiments of individuals and their lived experiences with reference to their affinity to the Battel sector? The ethnographic research methodology was used to carry out the current research which includes participant observation and in-depth interviews. The sample of the study was selected from diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds. A purposive sampling technique was employed and a total of fifteen participants were selected. The findings of the research suggest that there are multiple factors involved which binds residents with their place involving, place identity, social connections, the economic dimension, love for the place, and ancestral affiliations.

Monetary policy is very importance to steer the economy to control higher inflation, boost the economic growth and stabilize the other macroeconomic activities. This study investigated the effectiveness of monetary policy for Macroeconomic stability by structural vector- auto-regressive model. For this purpose, impulse responses and variance decomposition techniques were applied to examine the shocks and dynamic behavior of the variables. The results indicate that the role of monetary policy has a gradual and significant impact on Macroeconomic stability of Pakistan. The aim of restriction method SVAR has been used to describe the impact of highlighted variables i.e., money market rate, money supply and exchange rate. It is institute that exchange rate is more effective in long run, while interest rate and money supply are contemporaneous effects in short run. Further, there is the evidence of price puzzle because the level of prices increased rather than decreased in the short run and is against what generally policy perceives.

Published: June 2022

Errors can occur in the wellbore position according to the fact the survey tools are not completely accurate; therefore, prediction of well path position is imperative for safe and cost-effective drilling operation. The aim of this paper is an analysis of collision avoidance as well as assessment and optimization of wellbore trajectory for minimizing the risk of collision by applying different anti-collision and planning techniques. Thus, anti-collision analysis of pad drilling in the Iraqi oil field has been investigated using Industry Steering Committee for Wellbore Survey Accuracy (ISCWSA) error model to estimate the wellbores position and assess their separation using different techniques available in the industry. Three actual offset wells X1, X2, X3, and one proposed principal X4 well in a drilling pad have been used in the collision avoidance model.  Separation factor, ladder, and travel cylinder plots revealed a high possibility of X4 proposed well colliding with X3 actual offset well. The separation factor of 0.75 and 7.5 m center to center prove that the current design of X4 principal design doesn’t meet the anti-collision standards, accordingly, a design revision must be highly considered. The field operator hasn’t revised the well design due to the lack in the assessment of anti-collision risks, thus, the survey service company has advised the operator to modify the predetermined well trajectory due to major risk of collision with X3 offset well and the well has been sidetracked. After reviewing and optimizing the well trajectory by using slant and optimum align (curve hold curve) planning methods, the anti-collision results have been greatly improved. The results showed that, through adopting an adequate anti-collision risk assessment and the modified well design, problems associated with the execution of the improper well design could be totally eliminated.

Published: June 2022

The water injection program is a key part of Rumaila oilfield long-term development plan to raise pressure levels in reservoirs. This water injection program has involved project of produced water re-injection (PWRI) directly. Although PWRI is most economical method for disposal of produced water and reduces environmental pollution risks but it can causes impairment in formation permeability due to contain it on suspended and dissolved solids that can plug porous media. Therefore, it is essential conduct fluid-rocks compatibility experiments and analysis to evaluation PWRI. The experimental work was carried out in Department of Laboratory and Quality Control in Basra Oil Company, using waterflooding apparatus. The compatibility experiments were applied on five core selected from Main Pay - Zubair formation that has very high permeability with 40 liter produced water at North-Rumaila oilfield. The main purpose of this work is evaluation of PWRI by studying the reduction of permeability(formation damage). The maximum damage degree is 71% and the minimum damage degree is 55% with average value 68.2%. The main causes to impairment permeability are present high concentration from suspended solids in PW.  The damage is start from maximum degree  near wellbore and  gradually decreasing away from injection well and the permeability start jump up. The damage zone is propagate symmetrical around axial wellbore injector and connect together formed roughly circular dish. In this paper we establish table of monitor for help to minimize formation damage.  Based on these results, we can concludes, direct injection of produced water into Zubair formation without surface treatments or  washing of formation or acidizing treatment  or injection under fracture conditions causes formation damage and increases with time.

“I Wouldn’t Say There Is Anything Language Specific”: The Disconnect between Tertiary CLIL Teachers’ Understanding of the General Communicative and Pedagogical Functions of Language
Authors: Fürstenberg Ulla , Morton Tom , Kletzenbauer Petra , Reitbauer Margit
Published: June 2022

CLIL teachers, particularly in tertiary “hard” CLIL settings, tend to underestimate the role of language for developing conceptual understanding of new content. Nevertheless, they consistently engage with English outside the classroom and even report a variety of activities that they carry out in English with the explicit hope that this will improve their language skills. However, they do not seem to develop transfer strategies that would allow them to benefit from this language engagement in their teaching. The results of a nation-wide study on CLIL teacher wellbeing in Austria confirmed this disconnect, prompting our present follow-up study, which aims to combine teacher training and research and to raise tertiary CLIL teachers’ levels of Teacher Language Awareness (TLA). By means of an online questionnaire, class observations and stimulated recall interviews, we explored teachers’ conceptualization of language, specifically their awareness of the language needed for effective content teaching. Results suggest that research-based TLA coaching must be part of CLIL teacher training to resolve the disconnect between the general communicative functions of language, on the one hand, and the pedagogical functions of language, on the other hand. This can help teachers unlock the potential of their existing language engagement for improving their classroom discourse and practices.

Published: June 2022

This study collected the perception of medical students about the use of English for teaching through the use of a strategy based in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) approach at Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira (UTP) Colombia. A descriptive observational quantitative research was conducted in a group of 128 students of medicine who agreed to participate in the strategy called “Strategy for Paper’s Bilingual Presentation (SPBP)” in the subjects of Surgical Clinic I and II. Of this group, 98.5% (126) considered learning English important in their training and 86% (110) essential to advance without difficulties in their studies. In addition, there was a 52.3% (67) of students who stated that the University should foster the use of English integrated with contents in specific programs. In reference to the teaching of English at the University, 85.9% (110) of the students considered that it should be integrated into the content of the academic programs. The didactic strategy was positively evaluated by 86.7% (111), and 61% (78) used English exclusively or preferentially. Scenic fear and lack of knowledge of technical language were arguments for the preferential use of Spanish in the session. Among the recommendations made by the students were the extension of the preparation time for the activity, the inclusion of clinical cases, and the selection of the assigned topics with the teacher. The didactic strategy used proved to be very useful and replicable in other semesters and training levels of the Medicine program. It is imperative to design and promote bilingual spaces that allow the use of English as a strategy to integrate contents and language in the teaching of Medicine.

Authors:   MB ChB MSc MRCP Consultant in Acute Medicine, North Bristol NHS Trust, Williams Morgan , Coulson James ,   MD Dip Med Tox FRCP Professor & Honorary Consultant Physician, Cardiff University
Published: June 2022

Aim: We sought to characterise the syndrome of isolated paracetamol-induced acute kidney injury (AKI), whose incidence and mechanisms are poorly understood. Methods: Using systematic review methodology, fifty-six papers relating to paracetamol-induced AKI were identified. Results: 24 cases of isolated paracetamol-induced AKI were identified and compared to 87 identified cases of concurrent renal and hepatic injury. Paracetamol-induced AKI became detectable 3-4 days after exposure; liver injury, where it occurred, preceded AKI detection by 1 day. Risk factors affecting hepatotoxicity risk do not appear to influence isolated AKI, with no clear associated factors except younger age (mean 18.8 versus 33.1 years). Conclusions: Isolated paracetamol-induced AKI appears commoner in younger patients. Paracetamol-induced AKI occurs late and may go undetected by current treatment guidelines.

Wheeze and shortness of breath are a common reason for admission to hospital but the cause of which is not always immediately apparent. We present a case of a patient with respiratory distress, wheeze and chest tightness on a background of well controlled asthma and androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. The patient was provisionally treated as an asthma exacerbation but point of care ultrasound (POCUS) performed soon after admission revealed severe LV impairment and ‘wet lungs’ in keeping with acute decompensated heart failure. The case highlights the importance of POCUS to differentiate between different causes of wheeze in the acute setting and we discuss the diagnostic approach to the patient with suspected heart failure.

Published: June 2022

La tipificación sanguínea es un método de identificación de antígenos en la superficie de los eritrocitos. Los tipos de grupos sanguíneos sangre pueden ser evaluados utilizando pruebas rápidas para la tipificación sanguínea en perros; en el presente trabajo se evaluaron un total de 103 perros (Canis lupus familiaris). Los animales en estudio se agruparon de acuerdo a la raza y sexo. Se tipificó a cada uno de los perros con la prueba comercial Kabb Dog Blood®, se utilizó este kit ya que hay otro estudio acerca de su especificidad y sensibilidad que avala su uso. Después de identificar los tipos sanguíneos, se escogieron a 3 donantes, uno de cada grupo DEA 1.1, DEA 1.2 positivo y DEA 1- negativo para realizar la prueba cruzada con los 100 perros restantes y determinar la compatibilidad in vitro. Los resultados obtenidos con los 103 perros fueron 93,2 % con DEA 1.1 positivos; 4,9 % fueron DEA 1.2 y el 1,9 % fueron 1- negativo. Se confirmó que el tipo de sangre DEA 1- es el donante universal dado que en el presente estudio no hubo ningún tipo de aglutinación al cruzarla con los otros tipos de sangre DEA 1.1 y DEA 1.2. Del total de las pruebas cruzadas realizadas, el 5,3 % fueron incompatibles y el 94,7 % compatibles. Se destaca la eficacia, rapidez y lo sencillo que fue realizar la prueba, aproximadamente de dos minutos (min), frente al método de pruebas cruzadas que lleva 30 min aproximadamente, con lo que se ahorraría tiempo en casos de emergencia en donde corre peligro la vida del paciente.

顱骨內表皮囊腫是一種少見、生長緩慢的良性腫瘤，可能是先天性或是後天造成的，多數表皮囊腫位於硬腦膜內，少數長在顱骨之中。這些病灶通常以無疼痛、數年至數十年間緩慢增大的腫塊來表現。我們報告一個年輕女性患有右側顳骨內表皮囊腫接受完整手術療程的病例，並且整理相關文獻探討。

 

Intradiploic epidermoid cysts are uncommon, slow-growing, benign tumors, ac-counting for approximately 1% of intracranial tumors. They can be congenital or ac-quired; most of them are located intradurally and rarely in the scalp. These lesions usually manifest as painless, gradually enlarging masses over years or decades. They are clinically and radiographically difficult to differentiate from other calvarial lesions. Accurate radiological assessment and complete surgical excision of the lesion and its capsule play a crucial role in ensuring favorable long-term outcomes. We present a case of a young female diagnosed with an epidermoid cyst in the right temporal bone who underwent complete and successful surgical treatment. A complete imaging study was obtained including X-rays and computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans, which demonstrated pathognomonic findings of an epidermoid cyst. We review the relevant literature, pathogenesis, radiographic characteristics, and di-agnosis of the epidermoid cysts.

 
使用腕部Navicular view X-光投影診斷經舟狀骨半月骨周邊骨折合併遠端撓尺關節脫位

經舟狀骨半月骨周邊骨折合併遠端撓尺關節脫位（Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture combined with distal radioulnar joint dislocation）是一種相對罕見的腕部外傷，在緊急情況下容易造成誤判而延誤治療時機，影響最終治療效果。診斷困難的可能原因是使用腕部X光正投影及正側面投影（腕部AP和Lat投影圖）較難顯示出手腕舟狀骨的骨折情形。作者在門診中使用腕部舟狀骨投影（Wrist Na-vicular View）篩檢由急診室轉診的腕部外傷病患，診斷出一位經舟狀骨半月骨周邊骨折合併遠端撓尺關節脫位案例。該女性患者的腕部AP和Lat投影圖檢查結果均為正常，本文對患者隨後的X光檢查結果和追蹤過程進行了分析。雖然治療此類型的骨科案例多以外科手術治療為主，但該案例接受手術治療意願偏低，因此只進行了石膏固定治療,其最終仍獲得良好成果。在緊急情況下，傳統的腕關節X光正投影及正側面投影通常已足以篩檢舟狀骨折情形，但針對隱匿性骨病變仍有遺漏的可能。本研究強調使用輔助性Wrist Navicular View對於診斷該類型案例的價值。

 

Trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture combined with distal radioulnar joint dislocation is a relatively rare wrist trauma condition and often missed in emergency setting. Traditional wrist anterior posterior and lateral Views X-ray are usually sufficient for screening writ injuries in emergency room, but occult bony lesions like these were occasionally missed out. Adjunct X-ray check with wrist navicular view would help tremendously in filling the gap.

Published: June 2022

Silicon is an important beneficial element for improving the photosynthetic efficiency and stress alleviation in crops. Phytoliths are silicon body accumulated in plant parts (plant stone) through bio-mineralization process and there is a significant positive correlation between Si content and phytolith content of crop materials including the leaves, stems and sheaths. A field experiment was focused on the effect of Soil Test Crop Response based fertilizers with silicon sources on growth, yield attributes and phytolith content of Maize hybrid Co 6 at Arasanur, Sivagangai district, Tamil Nadu under Typic Rhodustalf soil during 2021. The results showed that application of Soil Test Crop Response based N, P2O5, K2O + calcium silicate @ 400 kg ha-1 and potassium silicate @ 1% foliar spray at knee high stage (25th Days After Sowing) and vegetative stage (45th Days After Sowing) performed well in enhancing growth and yield attributes viz., Leaf Area Index (5.95), plant height (228 cm), cob length (24.95 cm), number of grains cob-1 (329), grain yield (6.98 t ha-1), silicon content (6.07%) and phytolith content (1.22%), followed by STCR based N, P2O5, K2O + calcium silicate @ 400 kg ha-1+ silicate solubilizing bacteria @ 5 kg ha-1 and both are on par with each other. However, the treatments T10 and T6 performed better in enhancing the growth and yield attributes of maize hybrid Co 6, the maximum Benefit Cost Ratio (2.28) was noticed in T6 (STCR based N, P2O5, K2O + calcium silicate @ 400 kg ha-1 + silicate solubilizing bacteria @ 5 kg ha-1) should be recommended for maize production successfully in laterite soil (Typic Rhodustalf). In future study, it is advisable to conduct further research with different silicon sources on maize under varied soil and climatic conditions.

Agriculture is the back bone of India and it is the source of life for all the people who thrive to live. But in the recent years, the biological hazards like bio- accumulation and environmental ill-effects like Eutrophication due to the impacts of improper fertilization and leaching of bio-manures and fertilizers into the ground water aquifers from the agricultural fields. Thus this project shows a clear view on the impacts of leached bio-manures and fertilizers/pesticides over the ground water aquifers along Noyyal River, Coimbatore-South (10.9899Â° N, 76.8409Â° E), Tamil Nadu. The modelling of the sampling stations from 5 km buffer region along the river which predicts the impacts in the form of map using the GIS software. Ten samples per season are collected from 10 different sampling stations and the seasons are namely the winter and the monsoon seasons. The physical, chemical, mineral and biological tests are carried out and it is inferred with the allowable limits (WHO) for both the seasons and the tests are namely pH, Hardness, Alkalinity, Phosphate, Potassium and Conductivity. The pH values varying from 6.5 to 8.1, the hardness values varying from 37.6 ppm to 567.4 ppm, Alkalinity values varying from 35 ppm to 155 ppm, Phosphate values varying from 1.87 ppm to 4.89 ppm, Potassium values varying from 3 ppm to 27 ppm and Electrical conductivity values varying from 120 m/cm to 930 m/cm are identified. For the turbidity test, the test results from all the sampling stations are exceeding the allowable limits in both the seasons with the values ranging from 16.4 NTU to 20.8 NTU. The Plate count test values ranging from 120 Cfu/ml to 610 Cfu/ml where the field 6 exceeds the allowable limit and for the Nitrate test values ranging from 0 ppm to 70 ppm where the field 8 exceeds the allowable limit. From the GIS map obtained it is inferred that the pH, alkalinity, plate count values of fields using bio-manure are less and the fields using fertilizers are high during the winter season; whereas the values of fields using bio-manure are high and the fields using fertilizers are less during the monsoon season. From the nitrate, phosphate, potassium and conductivity tests it is inferred that in winter season all the fields are having less values and in monsoon season all the fields are having high values. To overcome the water supply demand, water treatment for the high water toxic areas are necessity. The sampling points having high turbidity (all Fields) can employ coagulation and sedimentation using alum stones, for the high Nitrates (Field: 8) Reverse osmosis can be carried out and for high total solids (Field: 2, 4, 5, 7) activated carbon filters can be implemented. The safest sampling stations were identified.

Published: June 2022

In the present investigation, 565 soybean MAGIC population lines along with 6 checks were evaluated in augmented design in 5 blocks at Agricultural Research Station, Adilabad during kharif, 2019-20 to study genetic parameters, character association and the direct and indirect effects of the traits on seed yield. Based on range, all the traits exhibited huge amount of variability. In the present study, the estimate of PCV was higher than GCV indicating the important role of environment in the expression of the characters under study. The highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation observed for the traits number of branches per plant (PCV- 33.53 %, GCV-20.15 %), number of pods per plant ( PCV- 32.35 %, GCV-21.11 %), net plot yield( PCV- 36.36 %, GCV-27.27 %) and seed yield per plant (PCV- 31.67 %, GCV-22.30 %) which indicates selection can be applied on these traits to isolate more promising line. The broad sense heritability was lower to higher for all the traits ranged from days to 50% flowering (20.02%) to days to maturity (75.87 %) while high genetic advance was recorded in all traits under study except, days to 50% flowering (2.99 %) and days to maturity (9.47 %).Among all the characters, high heritability along with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for plant height and net yield indicating predominance of additive gene action and a limited role of environment in the expression of these traits. Hence, these traits are fixable in nature and selection on the basis of these traits would be effective. Correlation studies indicated that number of branches/plot, number of pods/plant, net yield/plot, 100 seed weight and number of nodes/plant had significant and positive correlation with seed yield/plant.

Baghlan province is located in north of Kabul and surrounded by Bamyan, Kunduz,Parwan, Takhar, and Samangan provinces. It lies on the core route to the north and North-eastern regions of Afghanistan, which in terms of geographical location (coordinates) 29 degrees and 31 minutes north latitude and 58 degrees and 48 minutes east longitude, it is located 230 km from Kabul along the Kabul-Mazar highway; In the past, this province had 12 districts, which has now been raised to 15 districts, but in our current study, it will discuss 12 districts, which are the same 15 districts; 15 districts were canceled because there were no changes in the calculations of morphometric analysis. The different morphometric analysis explains the physical appearance of the watershed, which are suitable for the areas of land development, soil protection, topography rise, and soil erosion (Horton, 1945). This study discloses that DEM and GIS method in calculating morphometric drainage parameters and their effect on hydrological features at the watershed level is suitable than the conservative methods. The complete basin means bifurcation ratio (Rb) is 2.43, which shows that the drainage pattern is partial by geographical structure. Doshi and Khinjan districts have a high elongation ratio (Re), Ruggedness number (Rn), basin relief (Bh). It shows that peak discharges and erosion are high in these basins. This study is very beneficial for applying rainfall aggregation and watershed management.

Authors: Vattanaprateep N.
Published: June 2022

Nowadays, Paraquat and Chlorpyrifos are banned in Thailand and there is a limit on the use of Glyphosate in the country by the government to control the use of these toxic chemicals. These are some of the most commonly used agricultural pesticides. Even though, the chemicals are beneficial for the plants but they are not so much for the health of the farmers and people involved in the production and execution of the chemicals. Thailand is a very progressive agricultural country and there is a huge chunk of the whole population that is related with the agricultural industry. Agriculturing provides a lot of financial benefits to the country through its import and export throughout the year. To maintain the quality of all the plants and crops, the use of chemicals has become more frequent and prominent in Thailand. Vegetables like Chinese cabbage, collards, basil leaves, red chili and cabbage respectively have a high amount of pesticide residue. Similarly, fruits like Tangerine, rose apple, guava, grape and papaya respectively also have the remains of these toxic pesticides. Using organic vegetables and fruits is highly recommended because they are safe from chemicals and pesticides. Harmful agricultural chemicals also effect human health in several ways: skin irritation, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, brain damage, negative impact on pregnant women and coma/death. In the country, 73% are aware of the effects of pesticides on human health which is a positive indicator that more people will try to control the use of these chemicals. The government of Thailand is also performing its job very effectively regarding the regulation of pesticides in the country, that is why most of the people in the country are satisfied with the laws and regularity of toxic agriculture chemicals in Thailand.

Aim: To compare the early and medium outcomes of on-pump beating-heart (OPBH) coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and off-pump CABG (OPCABG) in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 30% and 40%. Material & Methods: This study was conducted as a retrospective observation over a period of 1 year at the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, Indira Gandhi Institute of medical Sciences, Patna, Bihar, India.130 patients were selected for this study. All patients were divided into 2 groups, according to the revascularization method: OPCABG group and OPBH group. Results: LVEF before discharge significantly improved from 34.39 ± 4.21 to 44.27 ± 7.29 in the OPBH group and from 34.27±4.61 to 42.66 ± 8.20in the OPCABG group (P<0.001). All survival patients have been echocardiographically examined after 6 months which showed a significant higher early postoperative LVEF in the OPBH group than in the OPCABG group (45.28 ± 6.10 versus 44.42 ± 7.08%, respectively; P=0.002). Conclusion: The OPBH technique was a safe and an acceptable alternative for surgical revascularization in patients with moderate left ventricular dysfunction which provided better midterm MACE-free survival compared with OPCABG.

Aim: To validate a simple one step method of protein extraction of moulds for routine early detection of fungi using automated instrument like MALDI- TOF MS. Methodology: A total of 123 clinical mould isolated were tested in Department of Microbiology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, Bihar, India during period of 3 months (August 2021-October 2021) with the routine Laboratory and culture investigations. Out of these specimens, approximately 50 specimens were suspected of Mucorales based on their growth timing, colony morphology, history of patient, character of tissue or sample, and corresponding KOH mount findings having hyphae in tissues or samples were included in study. Samples were inoculated on routine fungal culture media like SDA. The plates were examined at earliest for appearance of any growth and the process of protein extraction was done to be analysed in MALDI- TOF MS and compared with KOH preparation findings of sample. The culture were again incubated further for appearance of mature colony and later on isolates were identified by LPCB mount examination. Results: Around 70% growth of mucorales could be identified by this method and 30% could not be identified.
Los paradigmas de la investigación en el área de la salud
Authors: Estrada de Velasco Nuvia
Published: June 2022

Generalmente, los nuevos investigadores en el área de la salud tienen la noción que un artículo que se publica en revistas indexadas (Rojas-Revoredo, 2007) requiere de un anteproyecto de investigación y un informe escrito de ese proceso investigativo (González, 2016). Es importante saber esto porque la base de toda investigación es el método científico (Narváez, 2009), sin método ni metodología no se genera intercambio de conocimiento claro, conciso y sustentado en la bibliografía (Narváez, Núñez y Salinas, 2017).
