Giant intracranial epidermoid cyst and dementia
Authors: Jones Colin , Sharma Rewati R , Keogh Andrew J , Lynch Patrick G
Published: April 2022

lntracranial epidermoid cysts rarely present with a progressive dementia and ataxia. A 67 year old lady is reported who had been suffering from generalised tonic clonic seizures over a 60 year period. She presented with a 12 month history of progressive mental deterioration which was treated conservatively without benefit. Recent appearance of progressive ataxia prompted further investigations and a giant epidermoid cyst in the left middle and anterior cranial fossae was discovered. Subtotal excision has resulted in clinical improvement. The dangers of "waiting and watching" are highlighted.

We spend a noticeable amount of our weekly time watching YouTube videos, be it for entertainment, education, or exploring our interests. In most cases, the overall intent is to obtain some form of information from the video. We were seeking a solution to increase the efficiency of this "information extraction" process as YouTube's speed adjustment option is the only relevant tool. The summarizer is a Chrome extension that works with YouTube to extract the key points of a video and make them accessible to the user. The summary is customizable per user's request, allowing varying extents of summarization. Key points from the summarization process, together with corresponding time-stamps, are then presented to the user through a small UI next to the video feed. This allows the user to navigate to more important sections of the video, to get to the key points more efficiently. The main idea behind it is to be able to find a short subset of the most essential information from the entire set and present it in a human-readable format. As online Textual data grows, automatic Summarization of text methods has the potential to become very helpful because more useful information can be read in a short time.

The term “Work Life Balance” has become a hot topic during the days of covid-19 mostly among women employees. It has got more attention due to the reason that a persons both professional and personal life are equally important especially for a women because of the types of role they play at home and have to work professionally at their work place. As in case of banking sector they have to meet a large population daily in their working schedule and due to this they have to face a high risk during the pandemic. The findings revealed that there were no salary changes like in other service sectors and CANARA BANK has upgraded its policy of work from home to ‘Work from anywhere’ during the outbreak of covid-19. This study also tried to find the causes of imbalance in the professional life of women employees due to gender, refusal of men to accept women as seniors, and lack of mutual support. Thus it resulted in showing that there were no such policies implemented till now to maintain the work life balance which will motivate the employees and reduce their stress which will result in better performance of their work.70 women bank employees from Canara bank are the sample size of this study.

Aim. The aim was to analyze the results of intensive care for COVID-19 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) using optimized tactical aspects of respiratory support. Methods. In this prospective study, the comparison group included 436 consecutive patients admitted to the ICU of "A-block Zangiota-1" in the period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 (taking into account the representativeness of the main group), whose the therapeutic and tactical aspects of management were based on the first own experience with results analysis across organizational and therapeutic approaches. The main group included 288 patients admitted from July 1, 2021 to October 1, 2021, whose therapeutic and tactical aspects of management were developed on the basis of a fundamental revision of the differential diagnosis, pathomorphological classification and respiratory mechanics of COVID-19 associated ARDS, as well as taking into account the influence of risk factors for the severe course of the disease and various methods and technologies of respiratory support. Accordingly, adapted and optimized respiratory therapy standards have been applied in main group. Results. The frequency of intubations and transfers to mechanical ventilation had no statistical difference between the groups (p=0.362). In the main group, cases of tracheostomy (73.8%) were significantly (p<0.001) more than the comparison group (14.5%). In the comparison group, the proportion of patients with severe ARDS decreased from 29.6% to 23.8% (p=0.067), and in the main group from 31.0% to 17.0% (p<0.001). The average duration of treatment of patients in the ICU was 22 (from 7 to 32) days in the comparison group and 17 (from 9 to 27) days in the main group (p<0.05). The frequency of deaths in COVID-19 associated ARDS was 11.1% in the main group, which was significantly lower (p=0.036) than the comparison group (16.7%). Among patients on invasive mechanical ventilation (intubation and tracheostomy), the mortality rate was 96.0% in the comparison group and 76.2% in the main group of patients (p = 0.003). Conclusion. Providing respiratory support for COVID-19 associated ARDS, taking into account the individual characteristics of respiratory mechanics, can improve the results of treatment of patients with an increase in the oxygenation index, a decrease in the proportion of cases of severe ARDS, and reduce the mortality rate and the length of stay of patients in the ICU.
An investigation into the effect of examiner-training on the inter-examiner reliability of the palpation of myofascial trigger points
Authors:   , Moodley Kubashnie
Published: April 2022

Background: Myofascial pain is a disorder, characterized by the presence of trigger points (MTrP). It is recognised by unique features which include a tender point in a taut band of muscle, a local twitch response (LTR), a characteristic referred pain pattern, and the reproduction of the patient’s usual pain upon examination. A debate exists as to the precise diagnostic criteria used in identifying trigger points. This has hampered the standardized assessment and treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome and has led to contradictory findings being reported by various authors due to the lack of a reliable diagnostic tool. Objectives: The first objective was to determine the inter-examiner reliability of palpation of MTrPs in the trapezius and gluteus medius muscles. The second objective was to determine whether training and standardization in palpation techniques would improve inter-examiner reliability of palpation of MTrPs. Methods: This study was designed as a quantitative pre and post intervention interexaminer reliability study. Three examiners (one qualified Chiropractor, one senior chiropractic intern from the CDC and the researcher) were used to examine sixty patients (thirty symptomatic and thirty asymptomatic) for MTrPs. This study was conducted in two phases. During the myofascial examination of patients examiners were required to determine whether a MTrP was present or absent, differentiate whether the MTrP was active or latent and determine the presence or absence of the five characteristics of MTrP (tender point in a taut band of muscle, a local twitch response (LTR), a pain characteristic referred pain pattern, the reproduction of the patient’s usual pain and a jump sign) however, in phase one the researchers were blinded to the characteristics being investigated. Subsequent to phase one, examiners had to attend two, one hour discussion sessions to reduce individual variation in the application of palpation techniques. Results: Inter-examiner reliability was assessed using Fleiss Kappa statistic, percentage agreement and confidence intervals. The results show that three examiners are able to attain acceptable agreement in the palpation of MTrPs, since the features (described above) were shown to improve considerably in phase two after the training session in which standardization of techniques was emphasized. Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence that MTrP palpation is reliable and therefore, useful diagnostic tool in the identification of MTrPs and the diagnosis of Myofascial Pain Syndrome.

Published: April 2022

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the intestine characterized by abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. At present, no biological marker has been identified. Hence, the disease is clinically assessed on the basis of the symptoms according to ROME IV criteria. Epidemiological data revealed that the prevalence of IBS varies widely around the world, and more thorough research is needed to pinpoint any discrepancies that may exist between countries, as well as possible reasons. Both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy is being used in order to treat IBS. There is no specific treatment for irritable bowel disease that has come across the patients and only possible measures have been taken to treat the severity of symptoms. Symptomatic treatment with spasmolytic agent like mebeverine has been considered a standard therapy to relieve pain but to deal with constipation and diarrhea different treatment modalities have been adopted by the physician

Competencias transversales y empleabilidad. Un reto para la pedagogía penitenciaria
Authors: Lorenzo Moledo Mar , Quiroga-Carrillo Anaïs , García-Álvarez Jesús
Published: April 2022

La formación laboral de los internos e internas en centros penitenciarios debe ocupar un papel central en su proceso de reeducación y reinserción social, a tenor de lo expuesto en la legislación española. Precisamente, esta cuestión se antoja todavía más pertinente en el contexto de globalización en el que se encuentra nuestra sociedad, donde el mercado laboral demanda trabajadores/as capaces de responder a los nuevos requerimientos del entramado empresarial. En este artículo defendemos la necesidad de que los programas de orientación y formación profesional que se llevan a cabo en las prisiones potencien el desarrollo de competencias de carácter transversal, imprescindibles no solo para el acceso a un puesto de trabajo, sino también para su mantenimiento. Con tal propósito, se han analizado, en primer lugar, las características de los/as destinatarios/as de estos programas, profundizando en las variables contextuales, formativo-profesionales y ocupacionales que han demostrado incidir en tal proceso. Posteriormente, se ha examinado la oferta formativa en el ámbito laboral de las prisiones españolas para comprobar si se desarrollan las competencias asociadas a una mayor empleabilidad. Concluimos que existe una falta de promoción de las competencias transversales en la formación laboral de los centros penitenciarios, junto a la necesidad de considerar aquellas variables contextuales y factores estructurales que son susceptibles de condicionar su inclusión sociolaboral.
Ochrona uczuć religijnych w prawie cywilnym
Authors: Tylec Grzegorz
Published: April 2022

Głównym problemem badawczym niniejszego opracowania była odpowiedź na pytanie, w jakim zakresie przepisy polskiego prawa cywilnego mogą być wykorzystane do ochrony uczuć religijnych osób fizycznych. Czy zakres tej ochrony pokrywa się z zakresem ochrony tego dobra prawnego w prawie karnym, czy też te dwie grupy regulacji prawnych pokrywają się jedyne w części, czy też pozostają w rozłączności? Poczynienie tego rodzaju analiz było kluczowe do ustosunkowania się do wysuwanych w piśmiennictwie naukowym postulatów uchylenia przepisów prawa karnego dotyczącego ochrony uczuć religijnych i pozostawieniu w tym obszarze jedynie regulacji prawa cywilnego. W opracowaniu przedstawione zostały argumenty, iż ingerencja w sferę uczuć religijnych związana jest zawsze z ingerencją w sferę komfortu życia psychicznego człowieka. Mimo że sam spokój życia psychicznego człowieka jako taki nie jest samoistnym dobrem osobistym, to naruszenie owego spokoju życia psychicznego jawi się jako jeden z wielu różnych skutków wywołanych ingerencją w jakiś aspekt życia człowieka, np. ten związany z wykonywaniem swobody sumienia, i może prowadzić do naruszenia dóbr osobistych osoby fizycznej, o ile osoba, której dobra osobiste zostały naruszone, może być jednoznacznie zindywidualizowana. W książce w obszerny sposób przeanalizowane zostało orzecznictwo sądowe dotyczące opisywanego zagadnienia, co doprowadziło do wyróżnienia dwóch głównych linii orzeczniczych w opisywanych kategoriach spraw. Przeprowadzone rozważania doprowadziły do wniosku, że z zakresu ochrony konstrukcją dóbr osobistych wyłączone są wszelkiego rodzaju zachowania nakierowane na ingerencje w ogólnie cenione symbole i wartości, gdy powodują przykrość wielu osób, a jednocześnie nie są nakierowane na wywołanie dyskomfortu psychicznego konkretnej osoby lub kilku konkretnych osób. Profanacja symboli religijnych, znieważanie przedmiotów lub podmiotów kultu, znieważanie miejsc przeznaczonych do publicznego wykonywania obrzędów religijnych, złośliwie przeszkadzanie obrzędom lub czynnościom religijnym, gdy nie będzie mogło być uznane za źródło naruszenia dóbr osobistych konkretnej zindywidualizowanej osoby lub osób, nie będą co do zasady mogły być traktowane jako ingerencja w sferę dóbr osobistych prawa cywilnego. Z poczynionych ustaleń wyprowadzony został wniosek, że ograniczenie ochrony prawnej uczuć religijnych jedynie do konstrukcji prawa cywilnego byłoby niebezpieczne dla ochrony bezpieczeństwa publicznego. Uchylenie przepisów prawa karnego chroniącego uczucia religijne wywołałoby lukę w systemie ochrony prawnej, której nie mogłyby zapewnić istniejące obecnie przepisy prawa cywilnego. Taka sytuacja w konsekwencji mogłaby skutkować naruszeniem porządku publicznego i prowadzić do tragicznych wydarzeń.

Authors:   Bali Dwipa University, Astiari Komang
Published: April 2022

This research analyzed the methods applied in translating English short story “The Masque of the Red Death” into Indonesian by two Indonesian translators; Anton Kurnia and Shinta Dewi. In the action of pointing out the methods, the theory of translation method proposed by Newmark was the foundation of the study. The translation methods emphasize the source language and target language. Since translation is both a means of a process and a product, this study also analyzed the readability level of the two translation results. In order to assess the readability, this research involved 7 respondents. Every respondent filled in the questionnaire given related to the product of the short story with open-ended questions. Readability was measured using the theory of Readability stated by Nababan. The outcome gained from this research was different translation methods applied by the two Indonesian translators had affected the readability level as well as the sense of the short story by the target readers. According to the findings, the translation methods used by Anton Kurnia was dominated by free translation method. In contrast to Anton Kurnia, Shinta Dewi frequently adopted literal translation method. Although the distinction of readability level was not very significant between the two, the method which emphasized the target language culture indicated a higher level of readability than the method which emphasized the source language culture

Touristic genre is a specific type of texts used in tourism field. This paper examines applied linguistics used in touristic genres. This research is a qualitative exploratory study with documentation studies carried out through observation and the support of secondary data from relevant sources, including previous related research results. Touristic genres made available to help facilitate a more substantial and extended information for tourists to explore. Tourists might be attracted to visit after having exposed with fascinating touristic genres, e.g. amazing staycation, fusion dishes, shopaholics delight and spellbinding ambiance which display on the websites and tourism brochure. Tourists believe that they are becoming global communicators and acquiring a global linguistic repertoire of tourism. The real value in pointing to grammatical and phonetic characteristics such as those linguistic features used in tourism industry does not lie in their linguistic significance, but rather in their perceived as more functional touristic genres. In the context of a touristic genre, linguistic features are stylized, re-contextualized and commodified in accordance with the applicable functionality rather than theoretically explored

Ansızın Günbatımı’nda Ârafta Kalış ve Sanatsal Varoluş
Authors: KÜÇÜK Sena , ALFTANAT Fatima
Published: April 2022

Türk edebiyatında 2000’den sonra varlık gösteren Ayşe Sarısayın anı ve öykü türlerinden sonra Ansızın Günbatımı ile roman türüne geçiş yapmıştır. Türleri ve kapsamları farklı olsa da yazarın eserleri izleksel ve kurgusal olarak bütünlük gösterir. Yazar eserlerinde kendi sanatçı ben’ini görünür kılar, anlatım anılarla ilerler. Fakat yazarın amacı kendini anlatmak değildir, kendinden hareketle kadının toplumsal kuşatılmışlığı ve kimlik bölünmesi sorunsalına uzanır. Ansızın Günbatımı da kadının toplumsal kuşatılmışlık içinde kendi ben’ini inşa sürecinde yaşadığı arada kalmışlığı ve geçmişle hesaplaşmasını, kendini özgürce var edebildiği alan olarak sanata sığınmasını konu alır.

Annesinin sözcülüğünü yaptığı toplumsal kalıpları aşmak isteyen sarı papatyayla somutluk kazanan birey-toplum çatışması, romanı varoluşçuluğa bağlar. Varoluşçuluk, bireyin toplumsal kalıpları aşarak kendi varoluşunu özgür seçimleriyle kendisinin gerçekleştirmesini öngören bir başkaldırı felsefesidir. Bu başkaldırıyı ifade yollarından biri de sanattır. Yazmak sarı papatyanın kendini özgürce var edebildiği tek alan, hayatın güçlükleri karşısında tek sığınağı/dayanağıdır.

Makale, Ansızın Günbatımı’nda ârafta kalış ve çıkış yolu olarak sanata sığınış konusunu varoluşçuluk düzleminde metin analizi ve biyografik eleştiri yöntemiyle incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Ziel der Arbeit war es, Einblick in die Grundvorstellungen von Studierenden zum Skalarprodukt zu erhalten und zu ergründen, welche Zugänge diese im Erklärungsprozess nutzen. Zudem wurde im Analyseprozess der Umgang mit Verständnisproblemen der fiktiven Interaktionspartner*innen sowie Reaktionen der Erklärenden erfasst. Als Kommunikationsform fiel die Wahl auf den erdachten Dialog, weil dieses offene Format zum Stellen von Fragen ermuntert, unterschiedliche Perspektiven zulässt und Gedankengänge anstößt, die in Hinblick auf Lern- und Verständnisschwierigkeiten von Schüler*innen im späteren Unterricht besonders wertvoll erscheinen. Gezeigt haben sich neben der arithmetischen und geometrischen Herangehensweise bei der Vermittlung der Inhalte zum Skalarprodukt auch, dass Studierende in den Dialogen annahmen, ihre Erklärungen würden von den Lernenden aufgenommen und sofort verstanden. Schwierigkeiten im Verstehensprozess der Lernenden wurden nur minimal antizipiert.

„Wie hoch wäre ein Turm aus allen Schüler*innen deiner Schule, wenn sich die Kinder auf die Schultern voneinander stellen?“ Fragestellungen dieser Art werden als Fermi-Aufgaben bezeichnet und oftmals bereits in der Primarstufe eingesetzt. Dadurch können verschiedene mathematische Kompetenzen bei Schüler*innen gefördert werden, da zu deren Beantwortung reines Operieren nicht ausreicht.

In unserem Projekt gehen wir der Frage nach, wie Fermi-Aufgaben zu einer Umweltbildung im naturwissenschaftlichen Sachunterricht der Primarstufe beitragen können. Selbst entwickelte Aufgabenstellungen, die einen sinnvollen Bezug zur Lebenswelt der Schüler*innen aufweisen und Themen der nachhaltigen Entwicklung in den Blick nehmen, sollen nicht nur Wissen vermitteln, sondern auch zu reflektiertem Handeln führen.

Didaktische Überlegungen an der Nahtstelle von Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalität
Authors: Grünberger Nina
Published: April 2022

Die gegenwärtige Gesellschaft steht global gesehen – neben der COVID-19-Pandemie – vor zwei zentralen Herausforderungen, denen beiden das Potential einer „großen Transformation“ gesellschaftlicher Strukturen zugesprochen wird: Die Rede ist einerseits von der Forderung nach mehr Nachhaltigkeit und einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung sowie andererseits von der alles vorstrukturierenden und neue Kulturtechnik notwendig machenden Digitalität. Doch diese beiden Herausforderungen sind nicht so komplementär, als es auf den ersten Blick erscheint. Der vorliegende Beitrag führt in die Nahtstelle von Digitalität und Nachhaltigkeit ein, skizziert gemeinsame Themenfelder und diskutiert didaktische Leitprämissen von Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (kurz: BNE) und Medienbildung auf allgemeiner Ebene. Davon abgeleitet finden sich Hinweise für die Implementierung der beiden Kontexte in die Lehramtsausbildung am Beispiel des Schwerpunkts „Medienbildung und Informatische Grundbildung“ der Pädagogischen Hochschule Wien. Dabei gilt, dass die vorliegenden Überlegungen insbesondere den Diskurs der unterschiedlichen Akteur:innen anregen will und damit nicht als abgeschlossen gelesen werden sollte.

Published: April 2022

Die Entwicklungsdynamiken des 21. Jahrhunderts unterliegen weitreichenden Transformationen, die neue gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen implizieren. Bildungsträger stehen vor der großen Herausforderung, alle Beteiligten auf ungewisse Veränderungen vorzubereiten und sie müssen sich demgemäß transformieren, um eine nachhaltige Wirkung erzielen zu können. Insbesondere sind Lehrpersonen herausgefordert, mit Ungewissheiten und Mehrdeutigkeiten in Schule und Unterricht umzugehen. Dies verlangt, dass Lehrpersonen selbst Ambiguitätstoleranz aufweisen. Die Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung von Lehrpersonen hat sich der Entwicklung dieser prospektiven Kompetenz zu widmen.Der Beitrag illustriert dazu Hintergründe, Ziele und Messinstrumente des empirischen Forschungsprojekts „Zur Förderung von Ambiguitätstoleranz in der Nachhaltigkeitsbildung“ dreier Pädagogischer Hochschulen in Österreich. Es werden theoretische Dispositionen der Nachhaltigkeitsbildung im Kontext des didaktischen Konzepts der Grünen Pädagogik und Überlegungen zum Konstrukt der Ambiguitätstoleranz diskutiert. Ferner ermöglicht der Artikel Einblicke in die Entwicklung der qualitativen und quantitativen Erhebungsinstrumente, zur Durchführung des Pretests und thematisiert erste Ergebnisse der empirischen Untersuchung.

Authors: Khalid Manzoor Butt and Sadaf Jan Siddiqui
Published: April 2022

The ‘String of Pearls’ strategy attributed to China for growing its relations with the states situated around the Indian Ocean (IO) in order to neutralise Indian influence. Furthermore, protecting economic and strategic interests are also the key factors that China is maintaining its presence in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). After the completion of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), it is predicted that Gwadar Port will be the most precious pearl of the string. With the increased Chinese influence, the United States (US) will not fall behind and will have to revise strategy to maintain its supremacy in the IO and keep Chinese influence under check. However, Chinese presence will enhance economic prospects in the IO but may also pose some challenges for regional peace and security. In this paper, an analytical study would be undertaken on such questions.

Epialleles that emerge due to methylation variation in genetically identical individuals are gaining more interest due to their involvement in physiological and pathological processes. These are also important for transgenerational epigenetic inheritance and evolution. Both stable and metastable epialleles have their importance because of their contribution to the alteration of gene expression that may lead to useful traits or diseases. The main aim of this work lies in a comparative study between stable and metastable epialleles and the latest advancements that are helpful for the interpretation and analysis of DNA methylation and epialleles. However, there is so much to discover and understand because of the inadequate knowledge about methylomes of species as well as the naturally occurring epialleles in the wild. We will get more opportunities to apply this knowledge if we have a complete understanding of methylomes and epialleles and their contribution towards the normal functioning of an organism.

Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Bacteria: A Review
Authors: Dilshad Rimsha , Jamil Nazia , Batool Rida
Published: April 2022

Soil is a nutrient-rich environment that harbors billions of microbial species. The diversity of microbes in an environment varies with the change in edaphic factors. To survive these environmental changes, microbes produce secondary metabolites which are not directly associated with their growth and reproduction. Bacterial genomes possess biosynthetic gene clusters (BGC) which regulate the synthesis of these secondary metabolites. These BGCs encode for megasynthases such as nonribosomal peptide synthases (NRPS) and polyketide synthases (PKS) which produce metabolites such as antimicrobial compounds, which are the most common metabolites produced by these megasynthases. They help bacteria to survive in the competitive environment by killing surrounding microbes. As chemical drugs may pose immense damage to human health and the environment, so antibiotics produced by natural sources are of major attention these days. The extraction of antimicrobial compounds from bacterial sources also provides scaffolds for new synthetic drugs. Bacteria maintain strict genetic control over antibiotic production. They have particular quorum sensing pathways that help to trigger the surrounding cells to produce antibiotics when required. Biosynthetic gene clusters need to be explored widely under various culture conditions so that more useful products can be extracted from a single type of bacterium. This review focuses on the secondary metabolite production, extraction, and biosynthetic gene clusters which encode megasynthases responsible for the production of antimicrobial compounds.

Published: April 2022

Biophilic urbanism as an emerging paradigm in the design field has initiated various patterns of naturebased mutation. One of the most associated environmental benefits of this amalgamation of nature in urban design is carbon sequestration [CS]. The main focus of this research was to quantify the potential of trees to act as carbon reservoirs. It was investigated by assessing the roles of several tree parameters, such as diameter at breast height [DBH], height, biomass, and age in CS. A comparison of native and exotic trees was also done for this. In a field survey at Jilani Park, Lahore, 16 different families of trees (N = 115) were measured through a non-destructive method and CS was calculated. The results revealed that sample trees sequestered 588452.9 kg of carbon with an annual rate of 19998.92 kg and Combretaceae (M = 11813.65, SD = 6492.38) and Moraceae (M = 9909.93, SD = 12695.26) were the dominant families in doing so. The Pearson’s correlation and linear regression analyses indicated that biomass and DBH have a significant positive relationship with CS, r = 0.100, R2 = 0.99, and r = 0.943, R2 = 0.89, respectively. The independent-sample t-test revealed a significant difference in CS capacity between native and exotic trees, with t (67.626) = 3.016, p =.004, and the greater biomass and DBH of native trees were the distinguishable factors. To conclude, trees are the most efficient source of carbon attenuation in the urban environment, and native species have an advantage in this process. This study will inspire new endeavours in research related to the benefits of biophilic cities.

Quantification of Soil Erosion by Integrating Geospatial and Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation in District Dir Lower, Pakistan
Authors: Khan Abdullah , Atta-ur-Rahman
Published: April 2022

This study is aimed to estimate soil erosion risk by integrating Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and geospatial tool in District Lower Dir, Eastern Hindu Kush. Soil erosion is among the biggest threats to agricultural production. Mountainous areas of Pakistan are exposed to erosion hazards due to immature geology, fragile slope, and deforestation. RUSLE factors were derived from data acquired from various sources. The Rainfall erosivity (R) factor was derived from monthly data obtained from Pakistan Meteorological Department, Peshawar. The soil erodibility (K) factor was prepared from the map of soil, Survey of Pakistan. The topography (LS) factor was calculated from 12.5 m DEM downloaded from the Alaska Satellite Facility. The cover management (C) factor was calculated from the Red and Near-Infrared band of Landsat 8 satellite image downloaded from USGS earth explorer. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Landsat image were integrated to prepare the Support practice (P) factor. These factors were combined to assess soil erosion in the study area. The estimated soil erosion ranges between 0-25407 tons/hectare/year, with a mean soil loss of 230 tons/hectare/year. The erosion zonation map was then prepared and was classified as very low, low, moderate, high, and very high erosion. 22 % of the district was affected by low to moderate erosion while 67 % area is affected by very high erosion. The areas having more rainfall and steep slopes are more exposed to erosion hazards. Therefore, Erosion control activities are essential in those areas where erosion is high to assure a viable ecosystem.
