The retail business sector is highly competitive in Indonesia, so mini-market businesses must seek ways to offer high-quality services to their customers to enhance their experience by providing sales promotions. This study measured the effect of customer experience and sales promotion on the repurchase intention of their customers in the Minimarket retail business in Jakarta – Indonesia. The data was gathered by surveying 150 customers of minimarkets in Jakarta using purposive sampling; the questionnaire was shared through Google forms. Analysis of the data was implemented through SPSS (v.25) and AMOS (v.26). AMOS is used to apply Structured Equation Modeling (SEM). Estimation with SEM is used as a robustness test to see the consistency of results with multiple linear regression. Such a technique provides a research gap and contribution to the literature. The results indicate that customer experience was influenced by 44% of repurchase intention, whereas sales promotion was influenced by 52% of repurchase intention. Therefore, the study accurately assesses that consumer experience and sales promotion collectively impact customers’ repurchase intention by 47% at Jakarta (Indonesia) minimarkets. Retail companies are advised to continue to offer a good service for their customers to enhance their experience while shopping, accompanied by providing the best sales promotions so that customers’ intention to repurchase at that specific minimarket would increase.

Posyandu is a public health service. Posyandu activities involve various parties such as health workers, the community and community leaders. Kader are people who are given various training by health workers to be able to help provide health information to the community. The activeness of kader can influence the motivation of mothers to come to the posyandu to monitor the health and nutrition of mothers and children. The research was carried out in the Kuto Batu Village, Palembang in August 2022. The research subjects were kader at 12 posyandu in the Kuto Batu Village. The results showed that most of the kader had provided nutrition education at posyandu activities, although this was not always the case. However, there are still kader who are not active in providing nutrition education to the community. Therefore it is necessary to make efforts to increase the role of kader, especially in terms of providing nutrition education to the community through training, seminars and workshops.

Light has always been an icon of magnificent and mystical interplay with architectural spaces. Our built monopoly utilizes natural Light in such a manner that specifies meaningful experience to the spatial design. Light is a supreme element in Islamic architecture that symbolizes supremacy and knowledge, forcing humans to relate to spiritual experience just by being in sacred spaces. The built environment, however, should indicate this worldly Light as depicting paradise, a believable phenomenon even mentioned in our religious manuscripts. Usually, the focus was on the design elements of spatial planning of these built structures, yet other modifying design elements are used better to attain ecstasy and Light is one of them. Almost every religious building in the world has some wonders and depiction that makes them beautiful and recognizable across the globe. Hence Pakistan also has many beautiful buildings with glorious Islamic backgrounds focusing on Light.

Authors:   University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, Aman Mashaal , Dodhy Shamaila ,   Institute of English Studies University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan
Published: February 2023

The present study is oriented to sift the theory of reorientalism that the Pakistani diasporic writers use as a tool to represent an essentialised and glorified picture of their native land. Unlike orientalism, reorientalism deals with how the East is presented as a spectacle of consumption in the West by the Eastern writers themselves. This study examines the issue of literary representation at the global level which goes through Western gatekeepers for publication. Pakistani diasporic writers are instigating a simulated truth instead of a holistic portrayal of 21st century Pakistan by culturally appropriating and mimicking their native cultural and regional aspects. This study proposes that these writers are marketed as insiders by the West but in actuality, they are outsiders as they have lost touch with their roots. The critique of the selected text highlights that contemporary Pakistani fiction requires radical epistemic delinking from the colonial matrix of power and aims to highlight the establishment of epistemic pluriversality and calls for an end of cultural and epistemic exploitation and hierarchies among several epistemologies Keywords: commodification, cultural appropriation, epistemic pluriversality, essentialism, mis-representation, reorientalism

Pakistani English is an institutionalised non-native variation of the English language that developed from contacts between English and Pakistani indigenous languages. Although, it is still closely related to the standard variety of British English, it deviates from it in multiple ways as it has developed distinct Pakistani features at all linguistic levels. However, it is best recognized by its phonetics and phonological characteristics, despite the fact that phonological variations are widespread. This study described the phonetics and phonological features of Pakistani English in relation to the standard variety of British English. The analysis is based on the researchers’ observation and intuitive understanding in the context of the findings of existing studies on Pakistani English, with data taken from published Pakistani Anglophone literature. The findings suggest that the Pakistani English’s phonetics and phonological features deviate significantly from those of Received Pronunciation, which is mostly the result of first language interference. However, the researchers recommend a more detailed examination of each and every feature of Pakistani English, such as consonants, vowels, and rhythmic patterns. Key Words: Pakistani English; Phonetics and phonology of Pakistani English; Non-native varieties of English; Segmental features of Pakistani English; Non-segmental features of Pakistani English.
¿SERÁ JUSTICIA?CUOTA FEMENINA SANTAFESINA E IN-TERPRETACIONES JURÍDICAS
Authors: Perri María
Published: February 2023

La provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, cuenta con ley de cupo desde el año 1992. Esta medida bus-ca equiparar las posibilidades de participación política de mujeres y varones, estableciendo un mínimo de presencia femenina en las listas. Dado que la misma ha generado vacíos legales ante su aplicación, se requirió de la mirada y la respuesta judicial para resolver determinados conflictos. En el presente trabajo se expondrán dichos conflictos y se ana-lizarán las diferentes respuestas dadas por la Justicia Argentina ante estas situaciones. ¿Responde de la misma manera? ¿Se generan distintas respuestas en función de las presiones recibidas? ¿Se subordina a la mujer y a su participación política a partir de dichos fallos? ¿Hay una mirada con perspectiva de género ante la situación de la mujer en política? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que surgen al observar la situación santafesina y que nos permitirán retrabajar la noción de género y política y pensar nuevos mecanismos para igualar política y judicialmente a la mujer y al varón. Para ello se propone utilizar el enfoque teórico de la crítica feminista al derecho para analizar el caso de la ley de cupo en la Provincia de Santa Fe.
EL SEXISMO EN LAS DECISIONES JUDICIALES. UNA MIRADA DESDE LA INTERSECCIO-NALIDAD
Authors: Tamer Cecilia
Published: February 2023

Tomar sentencias judiciales como objeto de estudiosupone concebir al derecho como un discurso del poder y a las decisiones judiciales como actos políticos que, lejos de limitarse a la resolución de conflictos particulares, impactan en lo social por cuanto resultan en aportes a la construcción de realidades. Por ello, conjugar aportes de perspectivas teóricas como la teoría le-gal feminista y la teoría crítica del derecho, nos permite aproximar una mi-rada reflexiva sobre la manera en que el órgano judicial procesa y resuelve un tipo de conflictividad social (violencia contra las mujeres), en el enten-dimiento de que la aplicación del derecho no es un marco neutral, sino que consolida y reproduce concepciones sociales de naturaleza patriarcal.El presente trabajo se propone realizar un análisis crítico de dos senten-cias que tienen como protagonistas centrales de los crímenes que se juz-gan a mujeres, una como víctima y otra como victimaria, ambas dictadas por los tribunales de Santiago del Estero en el año 2013. El objetivo es analizar los discursos que fundamentan las decisiones judiciales, para llegar a identificar ¿qué mirada impera respecto de las mujeres? ¿Se las analiza en términos morales? ¿Influye esta mirada en la resolución de los casos? La propuesta es realizar un primer acercamiento con el texto de estas sentencias, ver lo que dicen y lo que dejan de decir, detectar si hay patrones estereotipados que se repiten respecto del deber ser mujer e identificar si hay juicios de valor sobre ellas. Para esto se recurrirá al análisis del cuerpo de am-bas sentencias poniendo especial énfasis en los argumentos vertidos en sus textos.

A partir de una revisión bibliográfica y documental, el obje-tivo del artículo es proponer una discusión en torno del escenario latinoame-ricano de la ola punitiva caracterizando el repunte penal en México. Delante la materialidad simbólica del Estado punitivo donde se figu a la responsabilidad individual estricta como característica ideológica (neo)liberal, el artículo rela-ciona los cambios del valor social atribuido a la fuerza de trabajo frente a las transformaciones en el sistema de producción capitalista. Fue observado que, aunque las tasas de encarcelamiento en México sean comparativamente ba-jas, es necesario considerar otros elementos de configu ación y disciplina de la fuerza de trabajo utilizados como la contención (segregación) y el exterminio. El Estado Penal Mexicano ha sostenido la legitimación de un mando coerciti-vo centralizado conformando así, en términos hobbesianos, el camino para el leviatán con una soberanía absoluta, un poder indivisible, un enorme aparato represor y, sobre todo, el control ideológico

Results: The majority of the subjects interviewed (58.3%) use toothbrush, while 5.8% use miswak, 23.2% use both toothbrush and miswak, and 5.5% use their fingers to clean their teeth. There was no significant difference in selection of oral hygiene device between genders, age groups, level of education, and social economic status. To clean interdental areas, majority participants use toothpicks (39.6%), 13.4% use dental floss, 4.5% use interdental brush while 34.1% use none. 14.3% of the participants reported that they use a mouth-rinse. Conclusion: An assessment of oral hygiene practices serves as a guide for designing effective health education programs that fulfils the periodontal requirements of the target population. Efforts should be made to promote the correct brushing techniques and timings and implement the usage of interdental cleaning aids.

Dental caries, commonly known as cavities/tooth decay, is a widespread and one of the most prevalent diseases affecting people of all ages. Despite its prevalence, dental caries is largely preventable through good oral hygiene practices and reducing sugar intake. A variety of commercially available mouthwashes are being recommended by dental health professionals because of their antibacterial properties but their side effects limits the use of these mouth washes hence, plant based natural compounds are being evaluated for their antibacterial properties in the current study Salvia Officinalis was evaluated in this regard. Methodology: It was an in-vivo preclinical experimental study conducted from October 2022 to January 2023. The calculated sample size was n =60. The participants were given an envelope for group randomization. The organisms were grown on appropriate media and extract was prepared and diluted. The extract was diluted in distilled water at 1:4 (Extract: Distilled water) concentration. Study participants were instructed to not brush their teeth before sampling. Study participants were divided into three groups (negative control, positive control, Salvia Officinalis extract rinse group) each group had 20 participants. Diluted SO extract was given to the experimental group for rinses, distilled water was given to the negative control group and positive controls were given a standard commercially available mouth rinse. The next sample of plaque was collected after two hours to observe the effects of SO extract on bacterial colonies. Results: The pre and post-samples showed a significant (p-value <0.05) decrease in number of colonies in the positive control group (conventional rinse) and Salvia officinalis extract group. The intra-group comparison of negative and positive control showed a significant difference in number of colonies and the same was observed with the Salvia officinalis rinse. However, the positive control and Salvia officinalis extract comparison was insignificant. Conclusion: The invitro experiment highlighted that the S. officinalis plant extract has equivalent effects against S. mutans and P. gingivalis as that of commercially available mouth rinse.

Objective: Purpose of this study is to determine the frequency of keratoconus with consanguinity. Study Design: Comparative/cross-sectional study Place and Duration: This comparative/cross-sectional study was conducted at Shahida Islam Medical and Dental College Lodhran and Jinnah International Hospital, Abbottabad in the period from May, 2022 to October, 2022. Methods: Total 53 patients of keratoconus were presented in this study. Included patients were aged between 8-32 years. Participants completed a self-administered survey that inquired about demographic information, KC findings, clinical symptoms, and parental marital status. All data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Results: There were 31 (58.5%) females and 22 (41.5%) males in all cases. Mean age of the patients was 19.25±12.92 years. 35 (66.03%) cases had rural residency and 18 (33.97%) cases were had urban residency. 25 (47.2%) cases had poor socio-economic status. Of the patients surveyed, 29 (54.7%) had first-cousin weddings between their parents, 16 (30.2%) had second-cousin marriages, 5 (9.4%) had third-cousin marriages, and 3 (5.7%) had marriages beyond the immediate family. Significant associations between consanguinity and KC were found at the p <0.05 level. Patients with first-degree consanguineous parents were shown to be more likely to have keratoconus and to have more advanced cases of the disease. Conclusion: Results from this study provide credence to the idea that there is still a significant direct correlation between KC and consanguinity. According to the findings, first-degree parental consanguinity poses a much greater risk of KC development than other types of intermarriage. The progression of KC was shown to be faster in this vulnerable population. Keywords: Consanguinity, Inheritance,Genetics, Keratoconus

Aim: To compare the efficacy of intravenous dexamethasone and methylprednisolone on the treatment of hospitalized patients with covid-19. Methods: Between January 2022 and September 2022, 46 COVID-19 positive patients from the medical ward of ABWA Hospital and Research Centre participated in a randomized controlled trial. Patients in group A were given dexamethasone, whereas those in group B were given methylprednisolone. Hyperglycemia, hypokalemia, duration of oxygen therapy, death, intensive care unit hospitalization, and other outcomes were measured in both groups. For qualitative variables, Chi Square test was used, while for quantitative variables, T-Test was used. A significance level of less than 0.05 was used. Results: In Group A, the average duration of hospitalization was 7.13±2.26days, but in Group B, it was 9.61±2.33 days (P = 0.0001). Group A had considerably shorter O2 therapy duration than Group B (5.78±1.16 days vs. 8.48±1.90 days; P = 0.0001). Group A had a considerably reduced incidence of hyperglycemia and hypokalemia compared to Group B (34.8% vs 73.9%, P = 0.008) (13% vs 43.5, P = 0.02). Conclusion: We conclude that 8mg/day dexamethasone is better than 30mg methylprednisolone twice a day in treatment of COVID-19. Keywords: Efficacy, Covid-19, Dexamethasone, Methylprednisolone
