Unveiling Masculinity: Exploring Metaphorical Representations of Men in Pakistani Fiction through Mohsin Hamid's "Moth Smoke"
Authors: Arooj Saba , Batool Kiran , Fatima Tabeer
Published: April 2024

The objective of this study is to conduct a thorough examination of the conceptual metaphors used to depict men in Pakistani society, with the aim of revealing the dominant conceptualization of male gender in Pakistan. The study is based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as its theoretical framework, and employs content analysis as the research methodology. The novel "Moth Smoke" by Mohsin Hamid has been chosen as the primary source due to its Pakistani setting, which provides a wealth of pertinent information. The findings reveal that the male gender is predominantly associated with the responsibility of earning and providing financial support for the entire family. Furthermore, men are portrayed as enjoying autonomy, allowing them to prioritize their own needs and desires. The outcomes of this study hold significant potential for future researchers investigating the role of conceptual metaphors in shaping gender conceptualization within societies, as well as their significance in literature as a medium for representing gender dynamics. By delving into the metaphoric representations of men in Pakistani fiction, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural construction of masculinity in Pakistan and highlights the nuanced ways in which gender roles are portrayed and perceived in the literary realm.

Published: April 2024

Inflammatory processes accompanied by damage to the cell bodies of neurons are combined into the group of neuroinflammation. At the molecular, cellular and tissue levels, neuroinflammation serves as a sanogenetic response to a variety of injuries, including post-traumatic conditions and neurodegeneration. However, inflammatory changes in long-lived cells such as neurons inevitably trigger a range of adverse effects. As a result, prognosis often depends on the severity of neuroinflammation. In this work, we review the spectrum of biomarkers involved in two key mechanisms of neuroinflammation: immune-mediated and mechanical injury, that have a potential clinical application: cytokines, neurospecific proteins and their proteolysis products, markers of oxidative stress, matrix metalloproteinases and endocrine parameters. Over the past decades, a significant pool of data on neuroinflammation biomarkers has been accumulated and continues to grow, but no consensus has been reached on the actual gradation of their clinical significance. Applied branches of medicine require further systematization of information on biomarkers of neuroinflammation for effective prognostic decisions.
Serum markers of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in modeling spinal injury of various genesis
Authors: Pozdnyakov D. I. , Kozlova V. V. , Reps V. F.
Published: April 2024

Aim. To evaluate changes in the concentration of molecules that mark the neurodegenerative process, experimental spinal cord injuries (SCI) of various origins were studied.

Materials and methods. SCI was modeled in six-month-old male Wistar rats by exposing the T10 vertebra to: carbon dioxide under a pressure of 2 N/cm2 (pneumocontusion); free-falling load of three weights of 1.12 N/cm2, 1.68 N/cm2, 1.96 N/cm2 (contusion injury); compression with forceps (compression injury); partial hemisection of the spinal cord; mechanical laminectomy using a mechanical drill. There were 6 rats in each group, including the intact control group. On the 28th day after a single application of SCI in rats, the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6), albumin, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBA-RS) and superoxide dismutase activity were assessed in the blood serum.

Results. When modeling SCI of various origins in rats, the serum concentration of TNF-α increased (from 115.5% (p < 0.05) in mild contusion to 234.5% (p < 0.05) in compression trauma compared to intact control) as well as IL-6 (from 49.2% (p < 0.05) in mechanical laminectomy to 89.8% (p < 0.05) in hemisection compared with intact control), suggesting activation of inflammatory reactions. The concentration of albumin in the blood serum of rats with SCI was lower than that of intact animals, especially in the hemisection group – by 41.9% (p < 0.05). Animals with SCI had an increase in TBA-RS concentration ranging from 103.2% (p < 0.05) in mild contusion and compression to 135.5% (p < 0.05) in pneumocontusion, and a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity ranging from 26.3% (p < 0.05) in laminectomy to 31.7% (p < 0.05) in hemisection. At the same time, injuries caused by spinal compression and hemisection led to a more pronounced activation of the inflammatory process, as evidenced by the increased TNF-α content compared to other variants of SCI modeling.

Conclusion. All SCI simulations resulted in equivalent activation of oxidative stress, while inflammation is more pronounced when reproducing compression injury and injury caused by spinal hemisection.
Assessing Aluminum Stress Resilience in Common Bean Roots: Phenotypic, Histochemical, and PvGST/PvPOD Gene Expression Analysis
Authors: Yeken Mehmet Zahit
Published: April 2024

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is grown in various parts of the world. Aluminum (Al) toxicity poses a significant and widespread challenge in marginal areas with unfavorable soil qualities where common bean is grown. In acidic soils, stable forms of Al dissolve into the soil solution and inhibit root growth and function by injuring the root apex with phytotoxic ions. This leads to the development of a smaller root system, adversely affecting crop yield. In this study, the phenotypic evaluation for relative root elongation of 10 common bean genotypes/cultivars under Al stress (50 µM), the impact of Al toxicity using different histochemical dyes (Evan’s blue and Schiff’s reagent) and the expression levels of PvGST (Glutathione S-transferases) and PvPOD (peroxidase) genes in the root tissues of the most resistant/sensitive common beans under Al stress (50 µM) and control conditions (0 µM) were investigated. The maximum relative root elongation value (71.9%) was found in Önceler-98 cultivar, while the lowest value (14.1%) was obtained from Blksr-19 genotype. Histochemical applications used in the study supported phenotypic results. The cracks at the root tip and high blue color intensity were detected in Schiff’s reagent and Evan’s blue dyes in the Blksr-19, respectively. The expression levels of PvGST and PvPOD genes in the root tissue of the Blksr-19 (Al-sensitive) were highly upregulated at 24 h of Al stress treatment. The results revealed that these genes might be involved in the common bean root tissue's defense mechanism against Al stress for the first time. The findings herein will help plant breeders develop common bean cultivars tolerant to Al toxicity.

Published: April 2024

Kanser tanısı konulan bireylerde görülebilen fiziksel, sosyal ve psikolojik sorunların yanı sıra diğer aile üyelerinde de aile dengesinin bozulması, rol kaybı ya da rol değişikliği nedeniyle hastalardan daha fazla duygusal ve davranışsal sorunlar ile karşılaşılmaktadır. Bu süreçte özellikle kanser olan ebeveynlerin çocukları duygusal ve davranışsal problemler açısından daha yüksek risk altındadır. Kanser hastalığı olan ebeveynin hastalık sürecinin ailenin günlük rutinlerini değiştirmesi, evdeki rollerin farklılık göstermesi, finansal sorunların yaşanması, her iki ebeveynin de fiziksel ve duygusal tükenmişlik yaşaması çocuklarda görülen duygusal ve davranışsal sorunların başlıca nedenlerindendir. Ebeveyninde kanser hastalığı olan çocuklarda anksiyete, depresyon, agresif davranışlar ya da somatik şikayetler gibi psikososyal etkiler ile ağlama, güvensizlik, arkadaş ilişkilerinde bozulma, ebeveynlerden uzaklaşma ya da aşırı ilgi gösterme ve okula konsantre olamama gibi bilişsel ve davranışsal etkiler görülebilir. Ayrıca günlük rutinlerin bozulması ve yaşanan duygusal semptomlar nedeniyle baş ağrısı, uykusuzluk, iştah kaybı gibi fiziksel sorunlar gelişebilir. Çocuğun bu süreçten etkilenmesi; çocuğun cinsiyeti, gelişim dönemi, ebeveynde var olan hastalığı algılayışı, ebeveyn ile çocuk arasındaki ilişki, aile işlevleri, kanserin evresi ve ebeveynin sağlık durumuna göre farklılaşmakla birlikte çocukların sosyal destek ihtiyacı artış göstermektedir. Ebeveynine kanser tanısı konulan çocukların kanserin etkilerini belirlemede, düşüncelerini ifade etmede ve dayanıklılığını artırmak için sosyal destek sağlamada yardım alması önemlidir. Literatürde ebeveyni kanser olan çocuklara yönelik girişimlerin oldukça sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu makalede konuya yönelik farkındalık sağlamak amacıyla kanser tanısı alan ebeveyne sahip çocukların olumsuz etkilenmelerini en aza indirebilecek girişimlerden bahsedilmektedir.

Authors: Demirbağ Selin , Ergin Dilek , Şen Celasin Nesrin , Karaarslan Duygu
Published: April 2024

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a worldwide health and social crisis, has also directly affected the education system. The aim of this study was to explore and understand the perceptions and experiences of nursing students’ about distance education during the pandemic.
Method: A phenomenological qualitative study was conducted with undergraduate nursing students from a state university in Manisa, Turkey. This study used a purposive sampling method and collected data through semi-structured interviews. Online interviews were conducted with nursing students (n=16) in April 2021. Data was analyzed using the hermeneutic interpretative approach.
Results: The ages of the participants were between 21-26. 74 codes gathered under three main themes emerged: advantages and gains were classified as "positive aspects"; disadvantages, needs, and losses were classified as "negative aspects"; occupation-related, learning-related, and personal aspects were classified as "emotions.
Conclusion and Suggestions: The students mentioned that distance nursing education has both positive and negative aspects. The most mentioned issue is that although everything is more accessible on theoretical knowledge of nursing, the practice training is not suitable for the distance education system and is insufficient. It is a fact that distance nursing education cannot provide the desired or sufficient output because nursing practices cannot be carried out remotely.

Deciphering Speculative Discourse in MH370 News Coverage: A Corpus-based Critical Discourse Study of Selected Local and Foreign News Outlets
Authors:   School of Psychology and Social Sciences, IMU University, Malaysia, Alias Arlini binti
Published: April 2024

This research explores how selected local and foreign news outlets depict speculative discourse in their coverage of the MH370 tragedy through corpus-based critical discourse analysis. It begins by contextualising the prevalence of speculative language in modern journalism and its potential impact on journalistic principles, drawing on previous research to highlight the rise of interpretive journalism and its association with speculative reporting. The MH370 incident serves as a case study, revealing how imbalanced news coverage has led to the emergence of rumours, speculation, and conspiracy theories, particularly in the shifting narrative surrounding the Malaysian government's response. The study focuses on linguistic patterns of speculative discourse, employing Wiebe et al.'s (2001) framework for classifying speculative language to analyse news headlines and reports from selected local and foreign news outlets. By examining the presence and utilisation of speculative language, the study sheds light on how journalists convey uncertainty and speculation in their reporting, influencing public perception and understanding of the MH370 tragedy. The findings confirm the widespread presence of speculative discourse in both local and foreign news coverage of the MH370 tragedy, with journalists from both spheres employing subjective interpretation in their reporting. The analysis highlighted a significant usage of hedging strategies such as modal verbs expressing probability, particularly in foreign headlines, which exhibited less certainty than local ones. Both local and foreign headlines commonly featured hypothetical questions and unnecessary quotation marks, amplifying uncertainty in reporting on MH370. Notably, 64% of MH370 news headlines were identified as speculative, emphasising the prevalence of speculative language in influencing public perception and encouraging contemplation of multiple assumptions and uncertainties surrounding the tragedy. Overall, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how speculative discourse shapes news coverage and public discourse surrounding major events like the MH370 tragedy.

From Haute Couture to Fast Fashion: The Fashion Industry and its Implications in the Realm of Law
Authors:   ILS Law College, Savitribai Phule Pune University., Deshmukh Vedangi
Published: April 2024

Although it is frequently treated casually, the fashion industry is in fact an all-pervasive and ubiquitous industry. The clothing industry is a vast global enterprise that deals with designing, manufacturing, distributing, marketing, retailing, advertising, and promoting all types of apparel for men, women, and children. This includes everything from high-end designer fashion to everyday clothing like sweatpants. The industry is worth billions of dollars and encompasses everything from the most luxurious haute couture to casual wear. The industry has thrived on its own through all the glitz and glamour. However, the blatant yet complex issues and nuances that comprise the industry need to be addressed, and in order for them to be addressed, consumers need to take cognizance of not just the present issues, but the industry in its entirety as well. This research paper delves into the transformation of the fashion industry from the traditional form of haute couture to the emergence of fast fashion. The paper starts by making the reader conscious of the industry and its alarming effects on various aspects of our society. The paper then discusses the rise of fast fashion, characterized by rapid production, mass consumption, and affordability. These diverging paradigms have not only transformed consumer behavior but have also posed legal challenges to frameworks governing intellectual property, labor rights, and environmental sustainability.

Published: April 2024

This research aimed to assess the impact of Value Added Tax (VAT) on government revenue collection. The study employed a mixed methods research design, which combines both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The study focused on a population of 500 management-level employees at the Zambia Revenue Authority and Ministry of Finance. Seeing that the study was heavy on qualitative approach and had specific type of cadre to provide the necessary information, a sample of 30 respondents was utilized which was purposively sampled. The secondary sources on the other hand mainly involved published documentation such as reports obtained from Zambia Revenue Authority official website and journals that provided the conceptual framework and a definite meaning to the topic. Regarding the effect of VAT on Government revenue, the study revealed that an increase in VAT rate may lead to higher VAT revenue, assuming a stable level of compliance. With regard to effect of VAT on consumer behavior, it was established that when VAT rates are elevated in Zambia, the prices of a wide array of goods and services subject to VAT increase accordingly, hence consequently, higher VAT rates can drive consumers to opt for saving or investing their money rather than immediate spending. This may simultaneously lead to a reduction in consumer spending, potentially impeding economic growth. As regards to ascertaining measures to address challenges related to VAT collection, findings indicated that effectiveness of VAT is contingent upon addressing the challenges inherent in VAT collection, optimizing VAT rate policies, and adapting the system to the country's unique economic context. The study offers several recommendations, including: improving tax administration through the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA); combating tax fraud and evasion; simplifying VAT regulations; enhancing taxpayer education and awareness; carefully considering exemptions and thresholds; and implementing monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for VAT revenue. Further study is recommended to explore the informal economy's role in VAT collection in Zambia and its implications

The lack of clarity in tax laws, coupled with frequent amendments and revisions, has given rise to uncertainty, hindering strategic planning and impeding long-term investment decisions. As a consequence, the publicly traded consumer goods firms in Nigeria face the formidable task of not only understanding and complying with the intricate tax structures but also striving to maintain competitiveness in an environment where the tax burden is increasingly becoming a pivotal determinant of business success. Given the foregoing this study examined tax reforms and tax burden: a study of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. In order to achieve the goals of the study, a longitudinal panel research design was implemented. The study concentrated on twelve consumer goods corporations that are publicly traded on the stock market. The selection of these companies was based on their continuous publication of annual audited financial statements from 2013 to 2022. The data obtained from these reports were analysed using the panel data regression approach, with the assistance of statistical tools like E-view 10. The study's findings indicated that direct tax exerts insignificant effect on tax burden of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. While indirect tax on the other hand, has a negative significant effect on tax burden of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study thus recommends that consumer goods firms should consider engaging with policymakers and tax authorities to advocate for favorable indirect tax policies. Collaborative efforts with government agencies can contribute to creating a tax environment that aligns with business needs and minimizes the negative impact on the tax burden.

Introduction: Therapeutic patient education (TPE) helps individuals suffering from chronic illnesses to become capable of managing their disease, produce health benefits, and make financial savings. However, many healthcare providers lack the necessary abilities to educate their patients. Objective and method: In this study, we aim to answer the following research question: Does therapeutic patient education influence the retention of people living with HIV (PLHIV) within the healthcare area of Emana? In doing so, we wanted to verify the hypothesis that therapeutic patient education influences the retention of PLHIV within the healthcare area of Emana. Results: The context plays an essential role in understanding and assimilating new information, encompassing both the physical environment and the social, cultural, and psychological elements that influence the learner; The development of psychosocial skills becomes crucial as a person's ability to maintain mental well-being by adopting appropriate and positive behavior in relationships with others, their own culture, and their environment; A strong sense of self-efficacy can have significant benefits in various situations, including the belief in one's ability to achieve goals and overcome obstacles; and information alone is not sufficient to help patients manage their illness on a daily basis. Conclusion: Our study allows us to note that learning the practice of TPE influences the retention of PLHIV within the healthcare area of Emana; and that the role of healthcare actors in practice influences the retention of PLHIV within the healthcare area of Emana.

Libman–Sacks (LS) endocarditis is one of the most common cardiac manifestations of both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). We report a case of mitral valve replacement for mitral regurgitation (MR) caused by Libman-Sacks endocarditis in young patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In conclusion, Although typically mild and asymptomatic, the disease can lead to serious complications, including superimposed bacterial endocarditis, thromboembolic events, and severe valvular regurgitation and/or stenosis requiring surgery.

Our study assessed limb occlusion pressure (LOP) variability over time and between limbs. Collegiate athletes (n=42; Sample 1 = 15 soccer players, Sample 2 = 13 cross country runners, Sample 3 = 14 cross country runners) attended five visits separated by ≥48 hours (Sample 1), three visits separated by ~3 weeks each (Sample 2), or four visits separated by ~3 weeks each (Sample 3). For all samples, supine LOP was assessed in each leg (and also in each arm for Sample 3) using an automated system. Paired samples t-tests or RMANOVA were used to compare LOP between limbs and across trials, respectively. Additionally, agreement and variability across measures were assessed using intraclass correlations and mean absolute percent differences (MAPD). There were no significant differences in LOP across visits for any of the samples, with primarily moderate or good agreement (intraclass correlations r=0.29-0.88) and low variability (MAPD 4.3-9.0%). There were no significant differences in LOP between left and right limbs, with moderate to good agreement (r=0.74-0.93) and low variability (MAPD 3.2-7.2%). The demonstrated stability in LOP over time and between sides of the body suggests that LOP may not always need to be measured daily or bilaterally, adding feasibility to field-based implementation.

We present a 62 year old female patient who gradually lost cognitive function, followed by gait disturbance and then urinary incontinence over the course of one year. She was investigated for potential Parkinson’s disease given the absence of headache or visual disturbance. MRI imaging revealed a large 2cm colloid cyst within the anterior part of the third ventricle causing hydrocephalus. This indolent presentation, for what radiologically is classified as high risk colloid cyst, runs contrary to classical presentation for this tumour
