Cuerpos y Otredades en la Antropología como Práctica de Observación Corresponsal y la Etnografía como Escritura para Habitar
Authors: Flores Alba Rosas
Published: December 2022

El texto sostiene que la idea generalizada de que la antropología tiene lugar en el encuentro con la otredad y que la etnografía como texto es su producto nace de la confusión entre antropología y etnografía, así como de la falta de atención a los cuerpos en cada una de ellas. El artículo muestra que al concebir a la antropología como una práctica de “observación corresponsal” (INGOLD, 2017) el problema de la otredad — condición existencial o resultado discursivo — no surge. Si bien podría pensarse que dicha cuestión reaparece en la escritura de la etnografía, recurriendo al propio proceso de investigación de la autora con ladrilleros e ingenieros electrónicos en México, de manera exploratoria se proponen cuatro condiciones en la escritura para que esto no ocurra: 1) visibilizar los cuerpos que escriben la etnografía, 2) reconocer que los cuerpos están involucrados en procesos de materialización similares, 3) reivindicar el cuerpo que lee la etnografía, y 4) avanzar de la etnografía-texto como objeto terminado a la etnografía como escritura para habitar. En última instancia, lo que se cuestiona es la creencia de que el cuerpo y la subjetividad del antropólogo y el etnógrafo están dados.

Рассматриваются предварительные результаты геомагнитных наблюдений на территории Республики Армения с целью изучения природы подготовки текто-нического землетрясения и осуществления задачи краткосрочного прогноза сейсмического события. Непосредственно на территории Армении и приграничных районов за период с 16 января по 28 июля 2022 г. произошли 18 землетрясений в магнитудном диапазоне M=3.7 - 5.4 на эпицентральном расстоянии от 47 до 355 км. Предварительный анализ режимных геомагнитных наблюдений позволил обнаружить возникновение магнитного возмущения непосредственно перед землетрясением. Рассмотрена связь амплитудночастотных характеристик этих аномальных явлений с основными параметрами (магнитуда, эпицентральное расстояние) землетрясений. Проведено всестороннее исследование этого типа геофизического поля как параметра косвенного мониторинга динамики напряженно-деформируемого состояния земной коры.

The observations are from 18 earthquakes in the territory of Armenia from January 16 to July 28,2022, magnitude range 3.7 - 5.4, epicentral distances 47 - 355 km. A preliminary analysis of region geomagnetic observations made it possible to detect the occurrence of a magnetic disturbance of the geomagnetic field before an earthquake. The relationship between the amplitude-frequency characteristics of these anomalous phenomena and the main parameters (magnitude, epicentral distance, et al.) of earthquakes is considered. A comprehensive study of this type of geophysical field is carried out for indirect monitoring of the dynamics of the stress-strain rate of the earth’s crust.

One-dimensional Dynamics for a Discontinuous Singular Map and the Routes to Chaos
Authors: Alexanian Moorad
Published: December 2022

We visit a previously proposed discontinuous, two-parameter generalization of the continuous, one-parameter logistic map and present exhaustive numerical studies of the behavior for different values of the two parameters and initial points x0. In particular, routes to chaos exist that do not exhibit period-doubling whereas period-doubling is the sole route to chaos in the logistic map. Aperiodic maps are found that lead to cobwebs with x = ±∞ as accumulation points, where every neighborhood contains infinitely many points generated by the map.

Published: December 2022

We study the polaronic effect on the differential cross section (DCS) for an electron Raman scattering process in a spherical anisotropic semiconductor quantum dot in the presence of a homogeneous external electric field. The Fröhlich coupling of electrons with confined and surface polar optical phonon modes for resonance Raman scattering is considered. The influence of electron-phonon coupling on the energy spectrum is taken into account in the framework of perturbation theory. The emission spectra are discussed for different anisotropy cases. Resonant peaks in the spectra are found and interpreted.

Published: December 2022

Accurate and specific methods for sex determination in farm animals play a vital
role in animal resources. Therefore, this study was conducted to differentiate between males and females for unknown sheep samples collected from slaughters based on the amelogenin (AMELX/ AMELY) gene by using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. A total of 200 blood samples of Awassi sheep, collected from slaughterhouses, with an average age ranging between 3-6 years. Blood samples from the sheep were used to isolate the DNA. Specific PCR primers were used to amplify one fragment (262 bp) from the X- chromosome in ewes, and two fragments (262 and 202 bp) from the X and Y- chromosome in rams, respectively. The specificity of the primers was evaluated by using amelogenin amplicons for samples of known sex. The results revealed a single band for ewes (262 bp) and two bands for the rams (202 and 262 bp) after electrophoresis. In conclusion, this assay is proved to be a precise, inexpensive, and favorable method in sex determination, especially when unknown samples are collected from the slaughterhouse, and the samples are mixed so that it is difficult for the researcher to determine the sex of the samples. This method can be employed in other vertebrates and sexing of offspring in animal breeding because the amelogenin gene is conserved among mammals.
Evaluation of growth performance of brown shrimp (Metapenaeus monoceros) fed with different commercial feeds in brackishwater pond
Authors: Mondal Debashis , Rahman Md , Islam Md
Published: December 2022

In order to assess the production efficiency of brown shrimp, Metapenaeus monoceros, in brackish water ponds, a feeding experiment was conducted with three different commercial feeds: Quality feed, Saudi-Bangla feed, and Mega feed representing T1, T2 and T3, respectively. After 75 days of cultivation, T1 showed significantly (P<0.05) greater total production than T2 and T3. Survival of shrimp was 66.90% in T1 which was found highest than other two treatments (T2: 63.70% and T3: 62.95%). Net benefit was significantly (P<0.5) highest in T1 (723996 BDT/ha) than T2 (577823 BDT) and T3 (593386 BDT). FCR values in T1 (1.2±0.05) and T2 (1.2±0.02) were significantly (P<0.5) lower than T3 (1.3±0.01), but no significant difference existed between T1 and T2. Benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was 1.80, 1.52 and 1.74 in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The current study demonstrates that the monoculture of M. monoceros fed with commercial feed (Quality feed) with 45/m2 stocking density would be commercially viable in Bangladesh coast.
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of a myelopathy in pugs : A journey from ’wobbly pugs’ to pug dog myelopathy
Authors: Rohdin Cecilia
Published: December 2022

In summary, gait abnormalities were common in Swedish pugs and the character of the abnormal gait suggesting an underlying spinal cord disorder. The lack of association between presence, or type, of CVMs in the thoracolumbar vertebral column and neurological deficits, paraparesis and ataxia, suggested that other or additional factors were important for the development of PDM. Neuropathological examination showed that the clinical disease, PDM, was caused by the formation of profound meningeal fibrosis that interfered with the vascular supply to the spinal cord as well as caused obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow with subsequent parenchymal spinal cord destruction. In addition a considerable number of PDM pugs presented with inflammation in the central nervous system. A contribution of the immunological system on the development of PDM was supported by the finding of anti-GFAP autoantibodies in the CSF of pugs with PDM. Our results also indicated that the DLA class II risk haplotype for necrotizing meningoencephalitis (NME), even in a heterozygous state, may cause a more severe PDM phenotype. The potential relevance of multiple candidate genes to the pathogenesis of PDM, including those implicated with bone homeostasis, the differentiation of cartilage, inflammation and fibrotic scar tissue formation, should be confirmed in future studies.
Difference Between the Criminal Court’s Ability to Impose an Administrative Penalty and the Exemption from Criminal Liability Under Art. 78a of the Criminal Code
Authors: Petkova Atanaska
Published: December 2022

In 2017, a new power was introduced into the jurisdiction of the criminal court, according to which the court should impose an administrative penalty when it finds that the act committed is not a criminal offence but constitutes an administrative offence. This legislative decision aims at speed and efficiency of the criminal process. The power of the court to exempt the offender from criminal liability by imposing an administrative penalty shall be exercised when the prerequisites for this are present, both in proceedings under the general procedure and in the course of the special procedure under Chapter Twenty-Eight of the Bulgarian Code of Criminal Procedure. The juxtaposition of the new power of the criminal court with its power to discharge criminal liability under Art. 78a of the Criminal Code is the subject of this article.

Authors: Valkova Adelina
Published: December 2022

The article analyzes the legal framework of one of the classical forms of parliamentary control – the no-confidence vote – as the main way of engaging and realizing the political responsibility of the Bulgarian Council of Ministers. Its implications are considered in both legal and political terms. The mechanisms laid down by the fathers of the 1991 Constitution, which protect the government from unjustified early termination of its powers, are analyzed. The need for more transparency in the implementation of the controlling powers of the National Assembly is stressed upon.
Impact of Investments in Healthy and Safe Working Conditions on Increasing Productivity and Effectiveness of Light and Heavy Industry Enterprises in the Republic of North Macedonia Compared To the Republic of Germany
Authors: Gjorgjev Martin , Byanov Ivan
Published: December 2022

Investing in occupational health and safety (OHS) has not been paid much attention, but in the context of modern production, it is one of the most important issues. The reason for this is that investing in safety at work helps in achieving certain effects and in minimizing the negative consequences and the negative impact on the business economy caused by unfavourable working conditions. On the other hand, investing in occupational safety increases productivity and economic quality in companies. The purpose of this study is to obtain knowledge about the effects of OHS investments on financial, non-financial, and employee performance of organizations in North Macedonia and in Germany, and to carry out a comparative analysis of these effects in order to contribute to the existing evidence of the relationship between investments in OHS and organizational and individual performance. The results obtained are consistent with the available knowledge in professional literature, i.e. it can be said that companies benefit from OHS investments regarding their financial, non-financial, and employee performance.

The Agreement Between the Republic of Bulgaria and the Hellenic Republic on the Use of the Waters of the Mesta River (1996)
Authors: Tyutyundzhieva Ralitsa
Published: December 2022

The article deals with the conclusion of the Agreement between the Republic of Bulgaria and the Hellenic Republic on the use of the waters of the Mesta River (1996). Attention is paid to the parliamentary debates arising from President Zhelyu Zhelev’s veto of the Law on Ratification of the Agreement. An analysis is carried out of Greece’s policy on both the specific issue, which is also interrelated with the opening of new border checkpoints, and the role Bulgaria’s southern neighbour plays as a member of NATO and the EU. It has been noted that Greece saw the need to support the development of democratic mechanisms and institutions that would lay the foundations for Bulgaria’s future EU membership and real commitment.
EFFECTS OF VAPORIZATION TEMPERATURE AND SUB COOLING VARIATION ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A VAPOUR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE WORKING WITH R134A, MET ON NEWER SHIPS
Authors:   Constanta Maritime University, Memet Feiza
Published: December 2022

R134a is a refrigerant met in several marine refrigeration applications, such as fishing vessels, passenger and cargo ships. In 2014, 26% of the international commercial fleet was using R134a. Although R134a shows a null Ozone Depletion Potential, it has a quite high Global Warming Potential (1300). R134a is a greenhouse gas and, even if it is present on newer ships, the future will be marked by its replacement with substitutes having low GWP. Still, because its GWP is less than 2500, R 134a will continue to be used. Due to the fact that vapour compression refrigeration systems are dominant on board the ships and knowing that these technologies are high energy consumers, analysing their performance in the contemporary energetic context, is imperious required. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of a single stage vapour compression cycle, working with R134a, based on the laws of thermodynamics. The analysis will reveal the influence of the evaporator temperature on the Coefficient of performance and on exergy efficiency, and also the influence of sub cooling on these two efficiency terms, on the refrigerant mass flow rate and compression rate. It was considered a variation of the evaporator temperature in the range (-40÷ -10)oC and of the sub cooling in the range (0÷10)oC. The increase of the evaporator temperature will contribute to a COP increment (50%) and an exergy efficiency decrease (34%). The sub cooling will lead to both COP and exergy efficiency increase (11%). Higher sub cooling degree will provide an increment in the refrigerant mass flow (18%) and a decrease of the compression rate (76%) meaning lower work consumption at the compressor.
What do we learn about CEOs’ behaviour through neurofinance?
Authors: BAECHLER GUILLAUME , GERMAIN Laurent
Published: December 2022

In financial literature, numerous papers aim to explain the behaviours or performances of entrepreneurs and CEOs. Since the emergence of neurosciences, researchers no longer have to to examine entrepreneurship through psychological traits or behavioural biases. Recent advances in neurofinance shed light on the core characteristics and decision-making processes of the entrepreneur’s brain. The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with a review on the most prominent studies about CEOs and entrepreneurs on two particular aspects: the predisposition to choose entrepreneurship and the entrepreneur’s neural decision-making process.
Fixed income factor portfolios for institutional investors
Authors: RAOL JAY , CHAMBERS BENTON , SIDHU AMRITPAL
Published: December 2022

We aim to address the concerns large institutional investors have when investing in the corporate bond market. When evaluating a potential strategy for inclusion into a portfolio, what metrics should investors be looking for? Is fixed income factor investing in the corporate bond market an appropriatestrategy to pursue? We will briefly review the “Norway” model’s key criteria for institutional portfolios. We will then show how factor investing in fixed income is consistent with these criteria. Finally, we give a concrete implementation with no turnover that institutional investors can use to target excess returns directly, measure managers for value creation or use as the basis for a more dynamic strategy.
Dynamic interactions between the bitcoin price index and widely traded financial assets: evidence from the recent covid-19 crisis
Authors: Kammoun Wafa , Ben Aissa Manel
Published: December 2022

We investigate the connectedness between the Bitcoin Price Index (BPI) and widelytraded financial assets from a variety of markets (equities, bonds, commoditiesand fiat currency). Using daily data from 5 August 2013 to 31 August 2021 (beforeand during the COVID-19 crisis), we run the VAR model estimation to investigateany connectedness between the BPI and financial assets, followed by the Grangercausality test. We then test Diebold and Yilmaz’s (2012) framework to analyse thespillover effects among our set of variables. Our empirical results provide strongevidence that the BPI index exhibits significant independence from widely tradedfinancial assets. This independence is less pronounced during the COVID-19 crisis,but remains relatively important. To test whether Bitcoin constitutes a relevantdiversification vehicle, we compute the Sharpe portfolio performance index of twoportfolios of conventional assets with and without the BPI, before and during theCOVID-19 crisis. Our results show that the introduction of the BPI index as a diversificationasset does not improve portfolio performance. Overall, our empiricalfindings are robust to different robustness tests and provide several implicationsfor hedgers, portfolio managers and policymakers.
The Dynamics of Contagion and Behavior of the Euro Area Sovereign Bond Markets
Authors: Kchaou Oussama , Ben Sassi Salim , Bellalah Makram
Published: December 2022

We investigate the contagion dynamics in the main Economic and Monetary Union sovereign bond markets during the subprime and euro crises. To this end, we adopt the APARCH-ADCC model and the Markov Switching Dynamic Regression model. The impact of both crises on each country in our sample is investigated using two crisis indicators: synchronization and intensity. The empirical results show that contagious episodes and their intensities vary over time and across market pairs for both crises, thus illustrating the complexity of this phenomenon. They also reveal that the market couples composed of the Economic and Monetary Union peripheral countries were immune to the contagion of the subprime crisis and that its third phase was the most violent in terms of the intensity of the transmission of shocks. Moreover, the results show that all the countries in our sample were affected by contagion from the euro crisis, at least during one of its sub-phases. Furthermore, before the first rescue plan for the Hellenic economy, our methodology detected a contagion effect stemming from Italy, Spain, and Portugal, while intuitively one could have imagined this phenomenon coming solely from the Greek sovereign market. Finally, the analysis of the synchronization and intensity variables provides evidence of a « multi-speed Economic and Monetary Union », refuting the notion of uniform integration of the euro area sovereign bond markets. We believe that it is necessary to complete the institutional architecture of the Economic and Monetary Union to make it more resilient to shocks.
DE L’INTELLIGENCE ARTIFICIELLE EN MÉDECINE
Authors: SERISIER Par Paul , ROUET Olivier
Published: December 2022

L’intelligence artificielle est une notion très en vogue, qui s’appuie sur un développement technologique et économique très fort. Elle est destinée à entrer réellement dans nos vies de façon massive à l’horizon 2025, incluant des applications en médecine. De fait, que peut faire la médecine de l’intelligence artificielle ?Son projet, c’est celui, par la collecte massive de données en big data et par le deep learning, de supplanter la part du geste médical qui coûte le plus et qui n’est pas le plus performant, afin de mettre à son service le médecin d’une part, mais également l’ensemble des personnels de santé. Cela pose des questions morales, juridiques et pratiques : comment collecter ces données ? Comment mettre en place ce système ? Qui peut accéder à ce big data ? De quel(s) droit(s) disposent les patients à l’égard des données les concernant ? Quel cadre juridique donne la loi ? L’intelligence artificielle admet des limites, dont elle n’a pas forcément connaissance ; ce sont ces limites qui rendent la sécurité qu’elle veut vendre assez précaire. Que faire si le système s’emballe ? Quelles sont les perspectives de formation là où l’intelligence artificielle a pris la place de l’homme ?Elle ne saurait être autre chose qu’un outil, dont l’homme est le maître, et il convient pressement, afin de préserver de funestes écueils les patients et l’ensemble de la société, de mettre en place une jurisprudence adaptée à cette situation nouvelle, qui ne saurait se développer en prodiguant tous ses bénéfices sans être contenue dans ses débordements inéluctables.

Authors: Fernandes Manuel Moreira , Silva Francisco Osny Enéas da
Published: December 2022

O artigo apresenta uma equação de chuvas para Cabo Verde a partir de 10 anos de registros pluviográficos (1982-1991) da estação climatológica do MDR-INIA (atualmente INIDA) em São Jorge dos Órgãos na Ilha de Santiago. Foram avaliadas séries anuais de eventos de intensidades médias máximas de chuvas para durações de 5, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60 e 120 minutos. O processo resultou da análise de 37 hietogramas de precipitação classificadas como intensas observados no período. Na determinação dos parâmetros da equação Intensidade-Duração-Frequência (IDF), aplicou-se o método de Gumbel-Chow. Os dados foram ajustados a uma distribuição de probabilidade Gumbel e para definição da equação de chuva aplicou-se o método descrito por Silva et al (2013). A equação permite calcular diretamente as intensidades de precipitação para períodos de retorno de 5 a 100 anos para durações de chuva de até 120 minutos. A equação de chuva desenvolvida para Cabo Verde permitirá o dimensionamento de obras hidráulicas municipais de drenagem urbana, incluindo microdrenagem e macrodrenagem, bacias de detenção, bueiros rodoviários, vertedouros de pequenas barragens, drenagem em canais, drenagem de águas pluviais em instalações prediais, dentre outros usos possíveis.

Due to new market entrants, marketing of raw jute and jute products is currently under intense competitive pressure. In Bangladesh, the production of diverse jute products has also picked up speed. This study tries to identify new markets for goods made of jute in Bangladesh. Fifteen target markets of five different continents are examined in this regard. To get a full idea about the market different factors, consumer behavior of some markets, supply chain analysis including industry analysis is done. Traders and product demand of those countries have also identified in this paper. After analysis this research gives us the idea that Bangladesh earns more by exporting value added products than raw jute. Also, it suggests some marketing strategies for the exporter and will give a easy way to commercialize their produced products to the International market. Keywords: Brightness level, FTIR, Shrinkage test, Diversified jute.

Antibiotics are the "marvel medicines" for fighting bacteria. For the past years, multiple varieties of antibiotics have performed well in combating microbes. However, over time, bacteria have developed a way to counter antimicrobial agents' effects and become resistant to antibiotics. The goal of this paper was to conduct a systematic review of published studies on the role of community pharmacists, as drug experts, in antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs). Thus, a search strategy was employed to gather existing literature using the following databases: Elsevier, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. The literature retrieved was classified and analyzed according to the perception, knowledge, and practices toward AMS programs. After evaluation, results show that pharmacists are essential when creating and implementing ASPs in inpatient and outpatient settings. They can monitor and report AMS indicators and ensure all legal specifications are followed for accreditation and payment reasons. Most pharmacists always/often dispense antimicrobials with a prescription, evaluate the prescribed antimicrobials if they follow the guidelines, and communicate with prescribers whenever they have difficulty reading the prescription. Additionally, approximately 85% of pharmacists agreed that to enhance the understanding of antimicrobial stewardship, pharmacists should be exposed to relevant workshops and conferences and that “antimicrobial stewardship programs reduce the problem of antimicrobial resistance.” However, the results indicate that appropriate actions are still needed to rationalize antimicrobial use in the future and that more training and access to AMS guidelines are necessary.

Published: December 2022

An ever-increasing number of individuals are attempting to fabricate edible community gardens because of Corona Virus Disease 2019 and the Chinese government’s control of the regions where the epidemic happened, the restricted access to daily demand of food, and the unfamiliarity of the elderly with web-based shopping technology. Therefore, this research selects three representative communities in Nanjing as case studies by adopting a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. More specifically, GIS, mapping to construct a map of the food system in Nanjing. In addition, direct site observations, questionnaires, and interviews have also been conducted in the research. Moreover, the research adopts univariate and multivariate approaches to analyze the data to find out that most elderly demand and value edible community gardens, especially during the epidemic. Also, community gardens could provide opportunities to make new companions and enjoy leisure moments, so, an edible landscape enhances the ornamental value and interactivity of the communities. The edible community gardens are beneficial for sustainable food production from the perspective of future development of the community, including ecological environment, economic benefits, social regeneration, and local development.
Everyday life along a regenerated urban river in Shenzhen

Published: December 2022

Many developed Asian cities have prioritized urban river regeneration, which translates into radically transforming the cityscape by retrofitting multi-purpose blue and green infrastructure. Still, many questions remain about socialization and space: Who are the users? Which activities are performed? Do landscape settings and contextual urban conditions impact the use patterns of regenerated urban rivers? This study aims to answer these questions by focusing on a highly successful urban river regeneration: the Futian River in Shenzhen. In total, 3,373 users and 24 activity types were observed along the river three times (two weekdays, one weekend day). The observations revealed different uses throughout the period: aged 40+ visited in the morning and those below 40 visited mid-day; males (56.7%) and young adults (42.6%) are represented categories for sex and age group, respectively. The most popular activities were walking (28.6%), relaxing (15.2%) and picnicking (7.3%). Behavioural mapping highlighted the clustering of users and activities in specific locations, so the river space provides crucial recreational space for low-income villagers. Through these findings, this study can provide insights about user habits to designers and policymakers producing responsive spaces and policies. This research will also contribute to the shifting attention towards the practice of everyday life.
UTILITY OF INFLAMMATORY MARKERS FOR TOCILIZUMAB IN COVID-19 PATIENTS: A SINGLE-SITE RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: Amir Muhammad , Ali Usman , Javed Adan , Ahmad Jawad
Published: December 2022

Background: Studies are available on the use of inflammatory biomarkers for profiling and patient prognosis, but literature for tocilizumab monitoring parameters is scarce. Thus, we aim to evaluate different inflammatory markers that can relate to the effectiveness of tocilizumab in hospitalized patients suffering from severe covid. Method: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of 227 patients who were admitted due to SAR-Co2 in one of the largest hospitals in Pakistan, Lady Reading Hospital. Using in-hospital mortality as the primary parameter for the effectiveness of tocilizumab. Wilcoxon rank-sum test, chi-square test and ROC curve analysis were performed to evaluate inflammatory biomarkers. The p- values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Result: A total of 1639 tests were identified from 227 patients admitted to the hospital. CRP (28%), LDH (27.3%) were the most commonly prescribed and 40% of the total test were prescribed pre-dose. D-dimer, ferritin and CRP were found to have a clinically significant impact of the dose.  Conclusion: D-dimer, ferritin and LDH do not seem to relate proportionally with tocilizumab effectiveness. CRP can be utilized for monitoring tocilizumab effectiveness.

Acute hypokalemic paralysis (AHP) is a life-threatening emergency. It is exceptionally unusual for hypothyroidism to present with AHP. This association can be either primary or secondary through distal renal tubular acidosis. We report two cases who presented with acute quadriplegia. The succeeding investigations revealed severe hypokalemia and autoimmune hypothyroidism. The second case was found to have Sjogren’s syndrome additionally. The underlying etiology of hypokalemia in both cases was found to be dRTA. The combination of such conditions is reported sporadically. Here we also discuss the potential association of AHP with autoimmune conditions by proxy through dRTA.

Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniasis is a morbid condition that generates stigmatization and disfiguring scars. Pakistan is among the ninety-eight countries where cutaneous Leishmaniasis is endemic. Purpose of study was to compare the efficacy of miltefosine and meglumine antimoniate in the treatment of cutaneous Leishmaniasis. Methods: All patients with cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) who met the inclusion criteria were divided into two groups using the envelop method. Capsule Miltefosine 50 mg (2.5 mg/ kg) was given to group A, while intralesional Glucantime injection was given to group B. The treatment's efficacy was evaluated after four weeks and again after eight weeks. Results: Out of 74 patients, 37 patients were included in each group. In group A (miltefosine group), 56.75% were males, and 43.25% were females. In group B (meglumine antimoniate group), 62% were males, while 38% were females (p=0.63). The mean age was 32.81 years±12.09 SD, the mean duration of the disease was 5.4 months±2.3 SD and the mean number of lesions was 2.56±1.33 SD. The efficacy of Miltefosine and meglumine antimoniate (I/L) was 91.9% and 56.75%, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion: Miltefosine was more effective than intralesional meglumine antimoniate in the treatment of cutaneous Leishmaniasis (p<0.001).

Several countries including Pakistan have already started deploying booster vaccinations owing to the COVID-19 pandemic yet in Pakistan populace is not fully vaccinated yet and currently Pakistan has bracied for another potential Covid-19 surge, as the number of cases in the nation has been escalating, driving the positive rate even higher. Vaccine inequity and acceptance has been an issue in Pakistan owing to lack of knowledge, lack of proximity to healthcare facilities, poor socio-economic status, etc. Also, the behaviour of the populace in Pakistan varies from that of other countries in that when COVID-19 cases declined, individuals thought the virus has been abolished and they stopped following standard operating procedures (SOPs). In this context, this article introduces the notion of mobile vaccination for everyone, which may be implemented to improve vaccination coverage.
