United Nations Structure in Global Governance: A Case of Sanctions Against Islamic Republic of Iran From 2006 – 2015
Authors: Abdulkarim Abdullahi , Onapajo Hakeem
Published: May 2023

This paper is titled ‘United Nations Structure of global governance: A Case of Sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran from 2006 to 2015.’ The paper aims at studying the structure of the United Nations sanctions imposed with the name of promoting global governance among member states, and other influential actors of international relations. To police the member nations, advance global peace and security, and avert the loss of lives and property, the international system created the United Nations as an organization. In doing so, the UN has the authority to use a variety of tools, including coercive and non-coercive methods. The organization has been given the authority to impose sanctions on any state or state that poses a military or non-military danger to global stability. The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which was signed on July 1st, 1968, forbade the development of Weapons of Mass Destruction by its signatories to meet the aims of promoting and defending global peace and security. Using a qualitative approach to the study of political science, this paper adopted the use of in-depth interviews as an instrument of data gathering, where the respondents were selected using the purposive sampling technique; where the respondents are selected considering the nature of the research problem under study. The paper adopted a theory of liberal institutionalism, which states that emphasis should be given to international institutions and global governance as a way of promoting peace in the international system. The paper concludes that international sanctions are being imposed not for any individual benefits, but for the maintenance of international peace and security, except if there are elements of suspicion in that sanctions, then, it can be debated. Iran as a country, displaying an act condemned by the international convention of putting a threat to international peace and security cannot be recognized and accepted by the United Nations, the entire system itself.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a late stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring chronic dialysis or renal transplant to survive. End stage renal disease is a growing problem worldwide. In Bhutan too, there are anecdotal evidence showing increasing number of ESRD patients every year, which has become a cause of serious concern for the country. 
Methods: This retrospective descriptive study was conducted at the National Referral Hospital of Bhutan, from 2019 to 2020 to find out the aetiology of ESRD in the country. The demographic information and aetiology of ESRD were collected from the past record of the patients. A total of 202 eligible ESRD patients were enrolled in this study. 
Results: The study showed that the mean age of patients was 47.3 ±13.20 years. The majority of the patients 139 (68.8%) were in the age group 24-60 years. Of the total patients, 107 (53.0%) were females. The common aetiologies of ESRD were hypertension (HTN), chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) constituting 20.8%, 12.9%, and 8.9% of the total patients respectively. In 50.0% of the patients, the aetiology of ESRD were unexplained. 
Conclusions: The most common aetiologies of ESRD were HTN (20.8%), CGN (12.9%) and DM (8.9%); in 50.0% of the patients, the aetiologies remained unexplained. The majority of ESRD patients (68.8%) in this study were from middle age group, with female predominance (53.0%).

Authors: Sharma Seema
Published: May 2023

In the modern world, the internet makes our lives easier. Making use of online services like social media, online banking, and online shopping can provide information while also saving time and resources. As the user’s information is then accessible on the website, maintaining its security is essential. To determine whether a site is susceptible or not, a website vulnerability scanner is utilized. A web attack can happen very quickly if the website is weak. Due to this, data theft is possible. This paper aims to identify the website’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities and make improvements. If a website is vulnerable, attacks can be carried out quickly. It allows for data theft. This paper’s objective is to discover the website’s vulnerabilities and sources of vulnerability so that they can be fixed. If the web app is weak, an attacker could exploit the website by sending in malicious code from the client side. To resolve these problems, this paper outlines potential modern best practices. Also, it is beneficial for web security researchers.

Models and Techniques for Domain Relation Extraction: A Survey
Authors: Wang Jiahui , Yue Kun , Duan Liang
Published: May 2023

As the significant subtask of information extraction, relation extraction (RE) aims to identify and classify semantic relations between pairs of entities and is widely adopted as the foundation of downstream applications including knowledge graphs, intelligent question answering, text mining, and sentiment analysis. Different from general knowledge, domain knowledge is pertinent to specific fields which include a wealth of proprietary entities and relations. Besides, most of the data are formed as documents rather than sentences. In this paper, the task of domain RE is defined, and the common domains are presented. Furthermore, we provide a systematic review of state-of-the-art techniques as well as the latest trends. We survey different neural network-based techniques for RE and describe the overall framework, training procedures, as well as the pros and cons of these techniques. Then, we introduce and compare the corpus and metrics used for domain RE tasks. Finally, we conclude and discuss future research issues of domain RE.

Published: May 2023

The lump in the groin of patients with Inguinal hernias goes away with the application of slight pressure or by making the patient lie down. This study compared the efficacy of hyperbaric bupivacaine with clonidine in unilateral versus bilateral spinal anaesthesia during unilateral inguinal hernia surgery. The study was conducted in Chitwan Medical College from September 2019 to February 2020 including 50 patients aged 25-60, ASA grade of I -II and undertaking elective hernioplasty. Patients were randomized into the following groups: Group A received unilateral Inj. Bupivacaine 0.5% heavy 12.5mg + Inj. Clonidine 15mg in the sub-arachnoid block; Group B received bilateral Inj. Bupivacaine 0.5% heavy 12.5mg + Inj. Clonidine 15mg in the subarachnoid block. Variation in the motor block, duration of sensory, hemodynamic parameters, onset, and peak level were noted. The mean ‘onset of sensory block’ in group A and group B was 1.52 minutes and 1.27 minutes, respectively. The ‘duration of sensory block’ was 237.1 minutes in group A and 218.4 minutes in group B. The ‘time to achieve peak’ was 8.32 minutes in group A and 8.12 minutes in group B. The ‘time to onset of motor block’ was 1.45 minutes and 1.72 minutes in group A and group B, respectively. However, ‘the duration of motor block’ was significantly higher in group A (210.5 minutes) than group B (198.1 minutes) (P< 0.05). A significantly higher mean arterial pressure was found in group A than group B (P< 0.05), which was recorded 1, 5, 15, 60, 90, and 120 minutes pre-operatively. Unilateral spinal anaesthesia achieves stable hemodynamics, adequate duration of the block for surgery, and rapid recovery compared to bilateral spinal anaesthesia.
A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing Adenosine Deaminase Levels in Pleural Effusion of Tuberculous versus Non-Tuberculous Aetiology
Authors: Surmani Sayyed , Asif​ Aza
Published: May 2023

Tuberculous pleural effusion (TPE) is a common condition in developing countries compared to developed countries. It is one of the most prominent characteristics of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. The enzyme Adenosine deaminase (A.D.A.) is highly active in diseases that induce cellular immunity. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of A.D.A. levels in diagnosing pleural effusion caused by tubercular etiology. The study was a cross-sectional type and was conducted at the tertiary care institute from July 2019 to March 2020. A total of one hundred thirty-five patients with pleural effusion were recruited for the study. Among which eighty-nine pleural effusion patients were suffering from tuberculosis, and forty-six pleural effusion patients were without tuberculosis. A p-value < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. For calculations, IBM SPSS Statistics 21 manufactured by I.B.M., U.S.A was used. Findings of the present study have shown a significant difference between A.D.A. levels of tubercular effusion patients (69.3±27.22) compared to non-tubercular pleural effusion patients (20.46±7.34). Further, there was a significant difference between Lactate dehydrogenase (L.D.H.) levels of the tubercular effusion patients (172.72±25.7) in comparison to non-tubercular pleural effusion patients (81.91±6356). However, there was no significant difference between total protein (p>0.05), glucose level (p>0.05) and total cells (p>0.05) level of both the groups. From this study, it was inferred that the A.D.A. level was considerably high in pleural effusion patients with tubercular aetiology in comparison to non-tubercular pleural effusion.

Hyperpigmentation and Melasma: Causes, the Efficacy of Cosmelan Treatment
Authors: Kambarova Gulnoza
Published: May 2023

Hyperpigmentation is a frequent complaint, making up about 8.5% of all calls to dermatologists. They can be congenital, with different types of inheritance or acquired due to external factors, systemic diseases. This article will focus on acquired hyperpigmentation associated with elevated melanin levels. Particularly it should be emphasized aspects of therapy, with particular attention to melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, periorbital pigmentation. Within a week, the appearance of the treated skin is noticeably improved. Skin type has a big influence on the effect of the treatment. People with skin phototype IV and V (dark skin) may notice that the effect will start faster because after 8-10 days. People with phototype I and II notice the disappearance of spots from 8 to 21 days. The overall effect of Cosmelan treatment should be up to 30 days. If we approach the correction of pigment formation from these positions, it becomes obvious that the effect in the skin should be as complex, soft and gentle as possible. Otherwise, there is a risk of getting not only a local reaction opposite to the desired one, but also harm the patient, aggravating the existing cosmetic defect and social psychological maladjustment of the personality.
Environmental Pollution and Population Disorders: A Brief Communication

Published: May 2023

Most diseases in society have a complicated epidemiology including various chemical influences such as biology, diet and environmental pollution (EP). “The most dangerous contaminants included particulate matter (PMs), nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals, pesticides, hormones, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)”. Indeed, there are countless potential contaminants and most have never been assessed as toxic and health hazards, particularly when new chemicals are constantly being developed as a result of interactions with existing chemicals. The effects of these new substances on wellbeing are almost difficult to assess. Previous reports show a wide range of pollution-related diseases. EP has been linked to an elevated prevalence of some malignancies, an increase in all-cause mortality, coronary disease progression, recurring illnesses, “disrupted intellectual and psychomotor development in infants, type 2 diabetes, breathing and immune system as well as brain-degenerative disorders.” EP is a significant reason of mortality and morbidity around the globe, initiating high expenditures in health care. Ecological, biological and toxicological testing is needed to determine the environmental toxins and at what amounts are most dangerous to animals and humans. It will only be possible to enhance environmental security by interdisciplinary collaboration and public awareness-raising programs.
Infertility and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
Authors: Mohammed Mohammed B. , Alrubaye Yasir SJ. , Abdulamir Haidar A.
Published: May 2023

Infertility is generally defined as a Time to pregnancy (TTP) of longer than 12 months among couples who engage in unprotected intercourse in the fertile days of the menstrual cycle, any specific threshold is arbitrary. The prevalence of infertility differs greatly from one country to another, being 15% globally, >30% in some developing countries, and 17-28% in industrialized countries. The term ‘implantation failure’ can be used to describe both patients who have never shown quantifiable signs of implantation such as increased levels of hCG, and those who have increased hCG production without later ultrasound evidence of a gestational sac. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a form of assisted reproductive technology in which a single sperm is injected into the cytoplasm of an egg in order to fertilize it. Complete fertilization failure following ICSI is an uncommon occurrence (1–3 percent), although it does occur even when spermatozoa appear to be normal. Furthermore, in some individuals, low to moderate fertilization (30 percent) has been reported in repeated ICSI cycles. Fertilization failure with ICSI is not the same as it is with traditional IVF technique. 60–90 percent of oocytes which showed a fertilization failure in traditional IVF are devoid of sperm nuclei, assuming that sperm ejection or penetration failure is the most common reason for the failure in fertilization process.

Published: May 2023

Due to a variety of alterations in human lifestyles, cardiovascular disease is one of the primary causes of death worldwide. If diagnosed early enough, heart disease can be minimised in about 90% of cases, giving doctors valuable insight about how to diagnose and treat patients. One of the best methods for making predictions is the use of machine learning. Studies on applying ML systems to forecast heart disease only look at the broad picture. Predicting the disease and its root cause is one of the toughest problems we face today. With the use of deep learning algorithms, we have developed an innovative approach in this study to recognise big datasets, improving the precision of cardiovascular disease prediction.In our model, feature selection and artificial neural networks have been used to predict cardiovascular diseases. Feature selection and ANN are two methods based on machine learning (ML) that can be used to select the most pertinent features from a dataset and give helpful prediction results. The accuracy of the two models, which are applied to analyse two distinct datasets, is 83% and 97.42%, respectively.

Authors:   , singh Avishesh Kumar , sahu Avinash , Parkar Mithlesh Kumar
Published: May 2023

Background Examining soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions is an everyday use for the minimally invasive diagnostic method known as Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC). The purpose of this research was to evaluate FNAC's value in the diagnosis of these lesions in Bihar, India. Methods Patients with soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions who presented to a tertiary care hospital in Bihar over a set period were included in a retrospective review of FNAC records. FNAC samples were analyzed by board-certified cytopathologists, and pertinent clinical and pathological data were obtained. Histopathological findings, surgical results, and follow-up information were all associated. Results A total of 200 patients were included in the study. In most cases, FNAC yielded useful diagnostic information with high sensitivity and specificity for determining the nature of soft tissue lesions. This method helped doctors distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, locate specific tumor kinds, grade them, and develop effective treatment plans. In Bihar, lipomas, fibromas, and synovial sarcomas were the most frequent soft tissue tumors. Conclusion FNAC has emerged as a helpful first step in Bihar when diagnosing and staging soft tissue tumors and tumor-like lesions. It could distinguish between benign and malignant tumors with a high degree of accuracy, which aided in making informed treatment decisions. FNAC can play a crucial role in settings with limited resources by preventing unneeded operations and allowing for more targeted therapies. Recommendations Improvements in patient care can be achieved through better diagnosis and more targeted treatment by incorporating FNAC into clinical practice.
For a New International Public History
Authors: Cauvin Thomas
Published: May 2023

Proposed in the United States of America in the 1970s, the term “public history” is now used in various parts of the world. The internationalization of the field of public history raises various questions about its definition, its practices, and its theories. Based on sometimes long-established practices, public history reflects new approaches to audiences, collaboration and authority in history production. The article distinguishes and analyses the different phases of internationalization in the 1970s, 1990s, and 2010s and argues for a new international public history. Instead of a spread of public history, the new internationalization lies upon multicultural approaches and understandings of the field. Symbolized by the rise of public history in Italy, the glocal process of defining and practicing public history – where the local practices and theories relate and influence global definitions – provides more nuanced and richer understandings of the field. The new internationalization has concrete consequences on the public history structures, resources, languages, and projects.

Teaching English to Young Learners: Combining Theory and Practice through Practicum in Pre-service Teacher Education
Authors: TEKİN Serdar , BAYKARA Tuba
Published: May 2023

Recent years have witnessed an exponential growth in interest in teaching English to young learners (TEYL) across the world. Pivotally, there is some research focusing on in-class practices and teacher pedagogy on this issue, yet young learner teacher education has not been given much attention. Many teacher education programs in different countries prepare their pre-service teachers for young learners by offering TEYL courses without providing them with real classroom experiences. To this end, the researchers initiated a practicum project in which pre-service EFL teachers taught English to young learners besides taking the TEYL module at the university. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 21 participants, it was aimed to examine the effectiveness of a practicum-integrated TEYL teacher education program. The findings revealed that practicum provided teacher candidates with a range of benefits in terms of putting young learner knowledge into practice, developing teaching skills, designing age-appropriate lessons and materials, and gaining confidence with TEYL. Different from previous practicum-related studies, the current study showed that practicum helped pre-service teachers have clearer minds on their future careers and teaching contexts in that some participants would choose to work with older learners considering the distinctive characteristics of children. This study offers implications for pre-service teachers and teacher education programs for training young learner English teachers more effectively.

Objective: This study aims to report a case of Glaucoma Drainage Device (GDD) implant surgery in a patient who experienced an increase in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) after long term trabeculectomy. Case Presentation: A 58-year-old male patient came with complaint of blurred vision since two years ago. Patient did not complain of sore and red eyes. He was given 2 x 250 mg of Acetazolamide, 2 x 1 tablet of Aspar K, 2 x 1 right and left eye (RLE) of Latanoprost, and 2 x 1 RLE of Betaxolol HCl. The patient had glaucoma since 20 years ago and had undergone surgery in 2002 on the right eye and left eye surgery in 2004. His right eye intraocular pressure was 38 mmHg with conjungtival bleb (+) flat (+) minimal vascularity (+) horizontal extent 1-2 clock hours. Patient then underwent a GDD implant surgery on the right eye, IOP 8 mmHg post GDD. Three months after surgery, the visual acuity decrease into 6/120 ph 6/21, elevated IOP into 32 with prominent lens opacity, so the phacoemulsification was done to the right eye After the surgery, patient’s intraocular pressure was stable with better visual acuity. Conclusion: In trabeculectomy failure, implantation of the GDD is the safest and most effective option in eyes that have undergone previous intraocular surgery.

Published: May 2023

Since the use of mobile devices outpaces that of laptops and desktop computers today, the usability of these mobile devices is an important consideration. When mobile learning (a new kind of electronic learning) takes shape, bringing an important feature of mobility, the trend expands deeper into teaching and learning. Usability describes the quality characteristics of software product usage; hence, usability testing is a crucial concern in developing companies for the success of product deployment and use. The vast majority of existing usability evaluation approaches were created for desktop software development. As a result, currently existing models do not specifically address mobile learning, presenting a gap that we aimed to remedy. The study developed a model that estimates usability as a function of aggregated usability influencing factors. To provide a more comprehensive model, the proposed model includes essential features from other accessible models and incorporates the majority of those that assist mobile learning. A mobile learning prototype application was designed, tested, and installed to evaluate the efficiency of the developed model, coupled with a task list for objective research.

Introduction: Uterine fibroids are the commonest benign tumors occurring in the female reproductive tract. They occur in 30%–70% of women in their Reproductive age. The fibroids incidence rises as the age increases. Its prevalence in pregnancy is 0.1%–10.7%.In such pregnancies, obstetric complication occur in 10%–30% . Studies show that in such pregnancies delivery occur at an earlier gestational . Fetal malpresentation, placenta previa, intrauterine growth restriction, labor dystocia, placental abruption, cesarean delivery , retained placenta, and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are common obs compications occurring in pregnancies with fibroids.

Objective: The objective of our study is to determine the frequency of cesarean delivery in pregnancies with uterine fibroids.

Materials and Methods: It is a Descriptive type cross sectional study which was carried out in Obstetric and Gynae unit 1 of Lahore General Hospital, Lahore for Six months from 06-08-2015 to 06-02-2016. Sample size of 100 cases was calculated with 95% confidence level, 10% margin of error and taking expected percentage of cesarean section i.e. 40% of cesarean section in patients with uterine fibroid.

Results: In our study, 59%(n=59) were between 20-30 years while 41%(n=41) were between 31-40 years of age, mean+sd was calculated as 28.31+5.67 years. Gestational age(in weeks) of the patients was calculated . 64%(n=64) were between 34-36 weeks while 36%(n=36) were between 37-39 weeks, mean+sd was calculated as 36.83+1.75 weeks of gestation. Regarding Parity of the patients, 63%(n=63) were between 1-3 paras and 37%(n=37) were having parity between 4-5. Frequency of cesarean delivery in patients with uterine fibroids performed in 57%(n=57) cases while 43%(n=43) had normal vaginal delivery.

Conclusion: The frequency of cesarean delivery is higher among patients with uterine fibroids. So, it is recommended that every patient who present with uterine fibroids, should be sort out for the mode of delivery. However, it is also required that every setup should have their surveillance in order to know the frequency of the problem.

Hydrocarbon Prospectivity and Petroleum System in West Sumatra Forearc Basin
Authors: Putra Perdana Rakhmana , Raguwanti Rusalida
Published: May 2023

West Sumatra forearc basin lies in the western part of Sumatra island extending from the north to the south. The forearc basin is considered not having potential to produce hydrocarbon due to its low geothermal gradient. However, indications of hydrocarbons were found in Bengkulu A-1X and Arwana-1 wells, which suggest that the Bengkulu forearc basin area has matured source rocks. The Paleogene syn-extensional sediments which are expected to be the main source rock are still under explored, especially those in the outer forearc region. Furthermore, in the Sibolga basin, the Paleogene sediments have not been well explored. Some wells were only drilled up dip of the Paleogene graben and did not penetrate the deeper Paleogene sediments. In addition, Sumatra's forearc region can also have unconventional play potential such as gas hydrate.

Abstract. High-quality, long-term measurements of terrestrial trace gas emissions are important for investigations of atmospheric, geophysical and biological processes to help mitigate climate change and protect the environment and the
health of citizens. High-frequency terrestrial fluxes of the radioactive
noble gas 222Rn, in particular, are useful for validating radon flux
maps and used to evaluate the performance of regional atmospheric models, to
improve greenhouse gas emission inventories (by the radon tracer method) and to determine radon priority areas for radiation protection goals. A new automatic radon flux system (Autoflux) was developed as a transfer standard (TS) to assist with establishing a traceability chain for field-based radon flux measurements. The operational characteristics and features of the system were optimized based on a literature review of
existing flux measurement systems. To characterize and calibrate
Autoflux, a bespoke radon exhalation bed (EB) facility was also constructed with the intended purpose of providing a constant radon exhalation under a specific set of controlled laboratory conditions. The calibrated Autoflux was then used to
transfer the derived calibration to a second continuous radon flux system
under laboratory conditions; both instruments were then tested in the field
and compared with modeled fluxes. This paper presents (i) a literature review of state-of-the-art radon flux
systems and EB facilities; (ii) the design, characterization and calibration of a reference radon EB facility; (iii) the design, characterization and calibration of the Autoflux system; (iv) the calibration of a second radon flux system (INTE_Flux) using the EB and Autoflux, with a total uncertainty of 9 % (k = 1) for an average radon flux of ∼ 1800 mBq m−2 s−1 under
controlled laboratory conditions; and (v)​​​​​​​ an example application of the
calibrated TS and INTE_Flux systems for in situ radon flux measurements, which are then compared with simulated radon fluxes. Calibration of the TS under different environmental conditions and at lower reference fluxes will be the subject of a separate future investigation.
