Authors: Asmat Ali Khan  , Khan Zaman  , Mr. Jafar Nazir
Published: February 2025

This paper discusses the historical background of the interlinked debate which considered the Muslim invasions of the Indian subcontinent as the key driver of Pakistan's establishment. The usual record of these conquests is perceived as the consequence of the zealous implementation of the principle of “spreading Islam and governing by the Islamic law." On the one hand, the research should be careful to take into account the intricate interplay between religion, the political realm, and the economics of the time. The paper covers all three of the primary reasons (wealth, trade route, and politics) mentioning the association of religion as the Muslims invasions happen. It studies the social and cultural transformation that set in after this period, such as the rise of Muslim Dynasties, formation of community-specific groups among the Muslims and establishment of Persian as administrative language. Secondly, the paper explores how these historical processes created the development of two independent institutional and social structures and developed hierarchies between Muslim and Hindu societies. The purpose of this essay is to give a detailed historical overview of South Asia. It puts into critical evaluation some of the historical threads in support of the objectivity outline how important it is to understand the past to be able to understand the situation in South Asia today. However, the historical legacy of the Muslim invasions is still perceived to be the true origins of the region's population, diversity of culture, and the sense of political complexity. The comprehension of the varied motives of which that constructs these historic incidents yields a better and more tolerant way of viewing the fast-evolving relationship between religion, ethnicity and nationhood in Pakistan and the Southern Asian region.

Capitalistic Gender Norms and Class Arrogance in Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations: A Marxist Analysis
Authors: Ms. Amada  , Dr. Ahmad Naeem  , Dr. Khan Sardaraz
Published: February 2025

This research paper seeks to examine the complex influence of capitalism on gender norms and the continuation of class arrogance in society, employing a Marxist analytical framework. This study aims to reveal the intricate mechanisms by which capitalism strengthens traditional gender norms and worsens class disparities by analyzing the interaction between economic systems, gender dynamics, and social hierarchies. Utilizing Marxist ideas of class conflict and exploitation, this paper examines how capitalist systems sustain gender disparity by assigning women to unpaid domestic work positions inside the household. Moreover, it will examine how the bourgeoisie's dominion over the means of production solidifies their authority and sustains class haughtiness, intensifying the marginalization of persons from lower social classes. Besides, this paper analyzes the ways in which characters in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations belonging to various social classes handle and internalize gender stereotypes and class boundaries through a careful examination. This analysis will specifically examine the experiences of female characters in the novel, including Mrs. Joe, Biddy, and Miss Havisham, in order to clarify how their identities and opportunities are influenced by capitalist ideology. The ultimate goal is to provide insight into the lasting impacts of capitalism and how they affect gender equality and class unity in today's society.

Published: February 2025

In the history of mankind, women have always played a positive role in the construction of the righteous society and its evolution. Iqbal because the founder of Islamic culture and was aware of the fact that according to the laws of Allah. Men and women are the wheels of the family unit without whom the vehicle of life cannot run. Iqbal's review regarding the rights of women is the same as that which exists in Islam. Iqbal has repeatedly mentioned women in his poetry in different ways. He mentions the women with the respect and honor, sometimes in the form of a loving mother, sometimes in the form of a lover (Mehboob), sometimes he praises and praise a women's hard work and courage and sometimes he encourages her towards her education and training. Iqbal believes that it is important for a woman to be educated because she is the women whose existence makes a nation. If she is not educated then the whole nation will be destroyed. Iqbal wanted to create a society where men would guard and protect feminity. We will also talk about all of the above qualities of a women. In a poetic writing somewhere women are praised, somewhere criticized in different ways but Iqbal's thoughts about a woman is totally different, he admired a woman, he appreciate a women and he respect a women because Islam give respect to women. He promoted the education of a women just because he wants an educated nation where people thoroughly study the Islam and understand in a better way. In this article we will talk about the position and status of women in Iqbal's Urdu poetry.

EMixed: Probabilistic Multi-Omics Cellular Deconvolution of Bulk Omics Data
Authors: Cai Manqi , Zhao Kangyi , Huang Penghui , Celedón Juan C. , McKennan Chris , Chen Wei , Wang Jiebiao
Published: February 2025

Cellular deconvolution is a key approach to deciphering the complex cellular makeup of tissues by inferring the composition of cell types from bulk data. Traditionally, deconvolution methods have focused on a single molecular modality, relying either on RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to capture gene expression or on DNA methylation (DNAm) to reveal epigenetic profiles. While these single-modality approaches have provided important insights, they often lack the depth needed to fully understand the intricacies of cellular compositions, especially in complex tissues. To address these limitations, we introduce EMixed, a versatile framework designed for both single-modality and multi-omics cellular deconvolution. EMixed models raw RNA counts and DNAm counts or frequencies via allocation models that assign RNA transcripts and DNAm reads to cell types, and uses an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate parameters. Benchmarking results demonstrate that EMixed significantly outperforms existing methods across both single-modality and multi-modality applications, underscoring the broad utility of this approach in enhancing our understanding of cellular heterogeneity.

Published: February 2025

The transformative fast technological shift of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
on fashion product development is reshaping and revolutionizing the
industry’s impact, evolving in an era of technology, innovation, and
efficiency. Artificial intelligence (AI) is now an integral part of every
industry, and it is used for a lot of benefits and functions in businesses
and the economy, as well as creative industries like fashion, art, and
design. Artificial intelligence and its powerful tools can be applied to
every step of the fashion value chain: production, concept and design,
retail, source of materials, and logistics. It can bring improvements
such as speeding and relieving processes, handling amounts of data
that humans can’t, and offering consumers new ways of experiencing
retail. AI is proving to be a powerful innovation, starting from the initial
stages of design through production and offering predictive insights,
enhancing creativity, and optimizing processes. AI algorithms and data
structures have the potential to improve operations, drive innovation,
and create personalized experiences in the fashion industry, benefiting
both businesses and consumers. In fashion, human skill and creativity
often hold the key to brand differentiation. From product development
to robotic manufacturing. Different tools, applications and programs
used properly can free designers from manual tasks to focus on creative
work. Human designers will remain key, while Gen AI will enable their
roles to be orientated around curation. This potential must be communicated clearly to creatives to ensure the technology is adopted without
undermining the role of the designer

Authors: Cardoso GPC , Bellini J , Capez JJ , Santos WS , Giovani EM
Published: February 2025

Salivary flow alterations can be caused by various pathologies and systemic conditions in patients, such as diabetes, chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatments, medication use, neurological impairments, and even aging. The aim of this literature review is to analyze the importance of saliva in the oral cavity and highlight the different systemic conditions that may reduce salivary flow. When there is hypofunction of the salivary glands, the condition is called hyposalivation, which may or may not progress to xerostomia (dry mouth sensation). This alteration in salivary flow can lead to both biological and psychosocial complications, such as halitosis, difficulty swallowing, increased susceptibility to periodontal disease, dental caries, and candidiasis. It is concluded that understanding alterations in salivary flow allows for a more comprehensive approach to the patient, correlating their systemic condition with oral health, which contributes to more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatments in dental clinical practice.

Assessment of Requirements for the Creation of Course Materials for English as a Second Language for Students Majoring in Subjects Other Than English
Authors: Alouzi Khuloud Mustafa
Published: February 2025

The most important thing for the success of a language learning program, including English as a general course, is making sure that the right tools are used. Before the materials are made, the needs of the students should be figured out so that the person making the materials has a full picture of what the students need. The study's goal is to find out what the students want to create tools for English as a general course for students who are not in the English Department. Twenty-four students from various areas at Universitas Tidar took part in the study. The study used a method called quantitative research, and a questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results show that the students want to learn English for their future jobs and to communicate with people around the world. The kids also say they need to improve their grammar and pronunciation, as well as their speaking, reading, and writing skills. The students also say that grammar is the hardest part of language to learn and that listening is the hardest macro skill to master. In terms of the issues, the students say that the materials should cover English for everyday, professional, and academic purposes. Concerning the creation of in-class activities, the things that students are most excited about are practicing pronunciation, learning new words, and watching English-language videos. On the other hand, they would rather make videos and work on a project as homework. They also get more excited when working in groups than when working alone or in pairs.

El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar mediante CFD la capacidad del sistema para manejar el líquido ante un evento de Slug. Adicionalmente evaluar la capacidad del colector de entrada para distribuir simétricamente el líquido en ambos slug-Catchers. Se utilizó para la resolución del problema la suite de ANSYS, SpaceClaim para la geometría, Meshing para el mallado y Fluent R2020 para la simulación. Como resultado, en los Slug-Catchers no se registraron cantidades significativas de líquido escapando por la salida de gas, sino más bien un llenado uniforme y segregado, sin llegar a la inundación del estos. Se observó un llenado parejo de los 3 dedos, distribuyéndose en los dedos principales desde la entrada y en el tercer dedo por vaso comunicante. De esta forma se observa que el sistema puede manejar correctamente el Slug.

En el campo de la ingeniería aeronáutica, generalmente se utilizan modelos linealizados para predecir el comportamiento de un avión. Estos modelos, basados en derivativas estáticas y dinámicas, permiten reproducir la mayor parte de las maniobras de interés en una aeronave. Actualmente la simulación numérica ha permitido predecir el comportamiento de aeronaves en maniobras complejas sin necesidad de realizar costosos ensayos en vuelo. En este trabajo se presenta una metodología que permite realizar simulaciones numéricas de la dinámica de una aeronave en una maniobra prescrita. Se utiliza un código de elementos finitos con el que se resuelven las ecuaciones de Navier-Stokes en una formulación no inercial acoplado con un modelo que permite simular maniobras. La formulación implementada presenta la ventaja de utilizar una malla fija, siendo las condiciones de contorno las que se modifican para contemplar el movimiento del cuerpo rígido. A modo de validación se presentan resultados para dos problemas con soluciones conocidas, un ala aislada (ONERA-M6) y un modelo de túnel de viento denominado (unswept-wing model).

Las redes neuronales informadas por física (PINN, por sus siglas en inglés) son modelos de Deep Learning capaces de proporcionar soluciones paramétricas de ecuaciones en derivadas parciales, sin necesidad de contar con extensos volúmenes de datos rotulados para su entrenamiento. En este trabajo se propone utilizar este esquema para resolver las ecuaciones de gobierno del problema de conducción de calor bidimensional con fuente térmica móvil. En particular, se computan soluciones generales no sólo en función de las variables independientes espacial y temporal, sino también de un parámetro geométrico que modula la intensidad de la fuente térmica denominado radio característico. Los resultados muestran que las inferencias computadas mediante el modelo propuesto se ajustan de manera precisa a las soluciones de referencia obtenidas mediante el método de elementos finitos. No obstante, se reportan y analizan algunos modos de falla asociados con la satisfacción de las condiciones de borde, junto con aquellos encontrados a medida que la fuente térmica se torna más intensa.

Published: February 2025

The goal of this study was to examine the effect of ground handling practices on Aviation safety performance in Kenya. Specifically, the study sought to establish the effect of passenger handling practices and cargo handling practices on aviation safety performance in Kenyan context. This study employed an explanatory research design. The target population consisted of 258 staff directly engaged in passenger & cargo handling procedures from five domestic passenger airlines operating from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) Kenya. A census survey of the entire population was carried out, respondents were drawn from four departments; safety, flight operations, ground operations & dispatch. Results revealed a positive and statistically significant effect of passenger handling practices on aviation safety performance (β = .722, p = .000, <0.05). It was also established that cargo handling practices had a positive and significant effect on aviation safety performance (β = .140, p = .006, <0.05). The findings of this study underscore the need for the development and implementation of standardized cargo handling procedures, rigorous training programs for personnel, and the adoption of best practices in ground handling. Such measures are essential for minimizing risks associated with cargo operations and improving the safety culture within the aviation industry. Aviation corporations need to focus on training and development programs for ground handling personnel, especially those engaged in passenger and cargo operations. This will guarantee that personnel possess the requisite skills and knowledge to perform their duties efficiently. The original contribution of this study lies in its focus on ground handling practices and their impact on aviation safety performance in a developing country. In conclusion, it contributes to the existing body of knowledge on aviation safety management and may serve as a basis for further research and policy development in this area.

Background: Asthma is the most common chronic illness among children and a leading cause of emergency department visits. Systemic corticosteroids like prednisolone and dexamethasone are used for acute asthma exacerbations, but compliance and relapse remain concerns due to multi-dose regimens and side effects. Objectives: This study compared the efficacy of a single oral dose of dexamethasone to multiple doses of prednisolone for treating acute asthma exacerbations in children. Study Settings: Department of Pediatrics, Allied Hospital, Faisalabad. Duration of Study: Six months from 10 April 2024 to 10 October 2024. Data Collection: A randomized controlled trial involving 250 children aged 2–12 years with acute asthma exacerbations. Group A received a single dose of dexamethasone (0.6 mg/kg), and Group B received prednisolone (2 mg/kg/day for five days). Outcomes were monitored for relapse within seven days and efficacy was defined as no recurrent exacerbations during this period. Data analysis included chi-square tests and stratification by demographic and clinical variables. Results: Dexamethasone showed significantly higher efficacy (77.6%) compared to prednisolone (66.4%) (p=0.049). Stratified analysis highlighted dexamethasone's effectiveness in children with symptoms lasting 1–4 weeks (p=0.023) and in those presenting with “other symptoms” (p=0.019). No significant differences were observed by age, gender, or family history. Conclusion: Single-dose oral dexamethasone is a practical and effective alternative to multi-dose prednisolone for managing acute asthma exacerbations in children. It improves compliance and reduces relapse rates. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up is recommended to assess long-term outcomes and safety.
Human immunity
Authors: Casanova Jean-Laurent
Published: February 2025

Due to the burden of infectious diseases, human life expectancy at birth remained about 20–25 years until the end of the 19th century, implying that host defense—which operates at the individual level, and only poorly at that—is barely sufficient at population level. Microbes preceded us by three billion years and evolve much more rapidly. Moreover, protective immunity has been selected at the evolutionary cost of allergy, autoinflammation, and autoimmunity. It is therefore no exaggeration to predict that almost all humans carry inborn errors of immunity, with insufficient or excessive responses to some environmental triggers, infectious or otherwise. Thanks to the remarkable power of its concepts and recent progress in its methods, genetics has finally made it possible to investigate the mechanisms of human immunity at the molecular and cellular levels. Human inborn errors provide countless opportunities to analyze immunity and its derailments in natural conditions, at an unprecedented scale, and are thus a unique asset from both biological and medical perspectives. Hence, the Journal of Human Immunity.
De l’esthétique négro-africaine comme quête inlassable du graal Afrique
Authors:   Université de Bouaké (Côte d’Ivoire), DIAKITÉ Samba
Published: February 2025

L’esthétique négro-africaine a été considérée comme un avatar psychologique, une parenthèse du savoir, un envers du développement. Pour amorcer son développement et promouvoir sa culture, les auteurs de la Négritude avaient brandi l’art négro-africain comme le symbole de la renaissance et de la reconnaissance africaine. A partir de ce moment, l’Esthétique s’allie à la politique et ne peut être autrement car l’art dévoile L’identité des peuples et conçoit leur cheminement dans l’histoire.
L’éthique de la discussion et les Nouvelles Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication
Authors:   Université de Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), SEMDE Cyrille
Published: February 2025

L’article traite des problèmes de nature éthique générés par le développement des Nouvelles Technologies de l’Information et de la communication à la lumière de l’éthique de la discussion, de fondation apélienne. Cette approche de l’éthique fournit-elle une réponse à l’exigence de fondation d’une éthique de la responsabilité imposée par les progrès considérables des NTIC? Quelles sont les normes éthiques qui se dégagent de cette théorie de la discussion et quel bénéfice pouvons-nous en tirer dans le cadre de la fondation d’une éthique de la responsabilité? À l’inverse, le type de communication et de discussion que permettent les NTIC ouvre-t-il des perspectives heureuses pour l’application de l’éthique de la discussion en tant qu’éthique de la responsabilité ? La réflexion aboutit à la conclusion que le type de communication, rendu possible par les NTIC, se tient distancié de l’idéal de la communication consensuelle fondée sur des présuppositions normatives inconditionnées : la justice, la liberté et la responsabilité collective.
Le désordre par l’ontologie : relativité et hégémonie d’un possible
Authors:   Université de Bouaké (Côte d’Ivoire), SORO Donissongui
Published: February 2025

Les panégyristes de l’ordre ont souvent perçu le désordre à travers le prisme des dogmes simplificateurs qui le réduisent à une violation de l’ordre. Synonyme de ruine, d’anarchie et de crise morale, il serait négation des mœurs, de la paix, de la stabilité politique et de la croissance économique. Mais à ce réductionnisme, le présent article tente d’opposer une esthétique de ce concept galvaudé. Car l’ontologie du désordre le manifeste comme un type de relation que la conscience entretient avec son objet, comme un autre ordre qui s’impose à notre esprit, et dont celui-ci n’a que faire. Car, aussi, elle le manifeste comme un moment déterminant du progrès et comme le référent d’une téléologie universelle.
La mondialisation : lecture spéculative et enjeux éthiques pour l’Afrique
Authors:   Université de Cocody-Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), KABRAN Marie-Thérèse Yah
Published: February 2025

La mondialisation conduit à des mutations de tous ordres qui affectent le quotidien de l’humanité. Le sens de notre analyse amène à nous interroger sur ce qui fonde ou justifie le nouvel ordre rendu aujourd’hui nécessaire. Notre visée est, en effet, de montrer qu’il est possible de concilier l’aspiration à l’universel à partir de l’intégration des particuliers.
En outre, les défis qu’implique la mondialisation pour l’humanité engagent à en poser des présupposés éthiques. Au-delà de l’approche théorique, il s’agira plus concrètement pour l’Afrique d’opérer des mutations.
De la question de l’espace à une éducation à un nouveau sens de la citoyenneté et du partage, l’enjeu est finalement de penser la mondialisation en termes de tâche pratique.
