The object of this research is dual. Primarily, and most essentially, the paper tries exploring and to deliver some basic assumptions of ethnic fractionalization based on a boarder arrangement of ethnic group that does not based only language but also other aspects of society such as territory. We have tried to construct regional fractionalization model where regional disparities can be measured and analyzed. We provide this measure for Pakistan specially focusing on the Government sector jobs and Labor force participation rate in certain areas of Punjab Pakistan, using different sources and we discuss in detail resemblances and dissimilarities of our variables with preexisting ones. We developed some assumptions, based on a broad measure of ethnicity where ethnicity is related to both language and region. Secondly, using our measures for Pakistan we reexamine the evidence on the effects of ethnic fractionalization on two general areas: economic growth and the quality of institutions and policy. The Quantitative data was collected from different Pakistani Ministries to determine the ratio of domicile holders in Federal Government departments while analysis was based on qualitative interpretation of the said data. We reach interesting results that shows imbalance and negative relationship between ethnic fractionalization and Economic growth as we extracted data from index of ethnic fractionalization and from various reports published by Government of Pakistan.

The water supply and sanitation sector has always been overlooked in the comparison to the other sectors both in the sense of budgetary allocation, in sustainability of development projects as well as execution of drinking water supply, sanitation schemes and provision of potable water strategies. The drinking water and sanitation system are closely linked with each other. The Government of Pakistan established the National Drinking Water Policy in September 2009, with the goal of providing clean and safe drinking water to the entire Pakistani population by 2025, including the poor and vulnerable, at a reasonable rate. The National Sanitation Policy of Pakistan was prepared in 2016, but recently conditions are adverse. In the Pakistan the sewerage systems are not only properly managed, out lived, inappropriate and leakages problems of sewer pipelines with major part of un-served population but also contribute towards water systems contamination and ground water as well as surface water contamination. The water for domestic utilization and wastewater of factories are mostly disposed of into rivers, streams and sometimes into water canals without any treatment of water in most of the conditions. There is also a conceptual issue with the traditional sewer systems due to leakages and seepage of sewage water is mixing in underground water as well as in food stuff. Some organic, inorganic elements and micronutrients are mixed up in the freshwater reservoir to a great extent that separation of the contaminant’s elements and treatment of water for reusing purpose becomes complicated not only in the sense of technically but also economically unfeasible. Secondly, the micro-nutrients are mostly washed away with domestic and factories wastewater as well as from storm water, mixed into freshwater channels.

Published: January 2022

A temática acerca da atratividade da carreira docente tem ocupado nos últimos anos, os debates sobre a valorização do magistério, sobretudo nas políticas que buscam diminuir a defasagem da qualidade do ensino, atraindo profissionais qualificados para atuar no contexto educacional do século XXI. Nessa pesquisa, elegemos o Programa Institucional de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID) como unidade de análise, haja vista seus objetivos se relacionarem mais diretamente a necessidade de atrair professores para a escola pública. Dessa forma, objetivamos compreender a influência do PIBID na decisão de ex-bolsistas egressos de um curso de Educação Física (EF) de uma universidade pública mineira, em adotar a escola como lócus de atuação profissional, considerando os diferentes fatores atrelados à atratividade da carreira docente. Por fim, concluímos que as condições de trabalho e a desvalorização especificamente da EF escolar atingem diretamente a atratividade da carreira docente, desestimulando os ex-bolsistas a atuar na escola pública.

Neste trabalho objetivamos analisar as competências necessárias para a condução da iniciação à docência a partir da coordenação do docente formador diante do PIBID, no contexto neoliberal das atribuições e desafios contemporâneos nas instituições de ensino superior (IES). A partir de uma análise da produção teórica, podemos considerar que é necessário que os formadores tenham domínio de saberes e competências específicas que lhe permitam uma análise de conjuntura ao observar o seu ser-fazer pedagógico, a fim de desempenhar sua principal função: formar seres humanos para educar outros seres humanos. Para tanto, é imprescindível que humanize o seu olhar e a sua prática pedagógica. Por fim, concluímos que o PIBID pode ser uma ação que contribui para o incentivo da escola como lócus de formação inicial e continuada de professores e cabe a futuros estudos avaliar o programa a partir do olhar dos docentes formadores, a fim de ampliar o debate.

Authors:   Kisii University, Momanyi, PhD Dr. Charles
Published: January 2022

The World Health Organization recognized COVID-19 as a pandemic. In Kenya, the government announced the first case of COVID-19 on 13 March 2020. Spontaneously, the government established a mitigation committee at the national level to give daily briefs on the state of the COVID-19 crisis in the country. Thus, the study sought to examine the online platforms used amid the Covid 19 pandemic in tertiary institutions in Kenya and the influence of these platforms on online learning. The study was a literature-based review. The study findings indicated that most online platforms used for online learning by the tertiary institutions include zoom, video conferencing, email, WhatsApp, telegram, video streaming, skype and google classroom. The online platforms have reduced face-to-face interactions and thus minimized the spread of the Covid 19 virus. The online platforms determined the extent of online learning among the tertiary institutions in Kenya. Online learning has been considered to be vital in ensuring the success of teaching despite the pandemic. The study concluded that online platforms promoted online learning among the tertiary institutions in Kenya. The online learning offers enormous opportunities for learning and access to a vast amount of knowledge and information. Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has been enhanced by the effectiveness of the online platforms being used. The study recommended that online platforms such as zoom, video conferencing, email, WhatsApp, telegram, video streaming, skype and google classroom should be promoted within the tertiary institutions in Kenya since they promote online learning. The tertiary institutions to maximize the use of technology (online platforms) to teach and enhance online learning since the majority of the learners possess smartphones and laptop devices. Moreover, the tertiary institutions should lobby for subsidized internet bundles from internet providers and policymakers should reduce tax levies for internet service providers to offer affordable and reliable internet connections to learners and instructors off-campus. The university management and government should prioritize capacity building for lecturers and other users to enhance online education skills and knowledge.

Introduction: Urinary Tract infection (UTI) is considered as the most common infections disease among women. UTI may lead to a serious complication in both kidneys. In this study, we tried to determine whether the alternation in platelet count during UTI is related to specific Gram-type of bacteria causing the infection. This assists the medical staff in selection of suitable antimicrobial drug. Material and Methods: Data of all urine cultures from Gynecology Department/ Albaraa Hospital/Tripoli processed at the Laboratory during a period of three years (2017 - 2019). All Data analysis and statistics were made with the SPSS software version 16 and performed with one-way ANOVA and a parametric test was used for categorical values and not normally distributed values. Results: A growth was detected in 101 of 193 (52%) samples and 22 (11%) were mixed growth. Gram-negative bacteria identified in 57% (45/79) while 43% (34/79) occurred with Gram-positive bacteria. Regarding to platelets count alteration, it is revealed that there was a significant difference between cases infected by Gram-negative bacteria compared to others infected by Gram-positive bacteria and control group. Conclusions: Results of the current study suggest that the change in platelet count during UTI is associated with causative bacteria’s Gram-type.
Reducing bacterial antibiotic resistance by targeting bacterial metabolic pathways and disrupting RND efflux pump activity

Antibiotic resistance is a significant issue for the medical community, worldwide. Many bacteria develop drug resistance by utilizing multidrug resistant or MDR efflux pumps that can export antibiotics from bacterial cells. Antibiotics are expelled from bacteria by efflux pumps a part of the resistance nodulation division (RND) family. Types of RND efflux pumps include the AcrAB-TolC tripartite protein pump. There are an excessive number of antibiotic compounds that have been discovered; however, only a few antibiotics are effective against MDR bacteria. Many bacteria become drug resistant when sharing genes that encode MDR efflux pump expression. MDR efflux pump encoding genes are incorporated into plasmids and then shared among bacteria. As a consequence, advancements in genetic engineering can sufficiently target and edit pathogenic bacterial genomes for perturbing drug resistance mechanisms. In this perspective and review, support will be provided for utilizing genetic modifications as an antimicrobial approach and tool that may effectively combat bacterial MDR. Ayhan et al. found that deleting acrB, acrA, and tolC increased the levels of antibiotic sensitivity in Escherichia coli. Researchers also found that glucose, glutamate, and fructose all induced the absorption of antibiotics by upregulating the gene expression of maeA and maeB that is a part of the MAL-pyruvate pathway. Therefore, the current perspective and review will discuss the potential efficacy of reducing antibiotic resistance by inhibiting genes that encode efflux protein pump expression while simultaneously upregulating metabolic genes for increased antibiotic uptake.

Ticks are obligate blood feeding ectoparasites of vertebrates incurring huge production loss in livestock industry & creating serious public health problems in the world. This review explores the acaricides resistance & ethnoveterinary practices to control ticks infestation. Long-term use of acaricides has generated resistance in many tick species. The use of phyto extract might play an important role in addressing the ticksmanifestation as ethnoveterinary plant has demonstrated repellent & toxic effects on ticks. They are of course less expensive, but they are often regarded as being more effective& therefore can be developed further for tick control & management. In regard to our literature survey the biological & parasitic activities of the plant species & status of acaricides resistance are given herein. It is hoped that our review would help to facilitate selection for further investigation of Plants & Acaracides with relatively high levels of potency & a wide range of biological activities

Indiscriminate use of chemical insecticides a serious problem to pollute the environment (Soil, water, and air). The Spodoptera litura F., also known as tobacco caterpillar, is one of the worst polyphagous insects and attack large number of impressive 73 host plants species, and other insect pests keeping in view of the above points, to use of safer plant origin potential insecticides friendly to environment for control of insect pests. Tobacco cut worm Spodoptera litura Fab. Is among the major polyphagous bugs that seriously restrict creation. A significant issue is that bug bother all throughout the planet have created protection from numerous insect poisons. Bugs have a very much evolved resistant framework incorporating humoral and cell protections. The bug safe framework is primarily represented by the exercises of phenol oxidase chemical just as haemocytes that are intense against intruders and poisons. Any compound that can meddle with these protections will seriously impede the bug natural wellness. Insect detoxification proteins additionally assume a vital part in the improvement of opposition against insect sprays. A decrease in these compound levels will bring about a decrease of insect spray opposition levels. Impact of fifteen plant species insecticidal effectively are tried against tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura F. All the arrangement materials were separated with acetone/petrol either solvent or tried at the various fixations. Out of these 10 plants removes vows to be wellspring of insecticidal movement to the tried bug bothers.

Objectives: Due to the anti-inflammatory effects of dextrose prolotherapy, we evaluated the effectiveness of extra-articular, neurofascial dextrose prolotherapy in chronic ankle ligament injury. Methods: Patients with chronic ankle ligament injury entered this uncontrolled before-after study based on eligibility criteria. Patients who consented to participate in the study filled out the prepared questionnaire containing demographic data, the Cumberland ankle instability tool (CAIT), and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The initial CAIT score of less than 25 indicated functional instability following an ankle sprain. Patients underwent neurofascial prolotherapy with dextrose 12.5%. Two injections within one month were done. The CAIT was completed one, three, and six months after the intervention. Results: Twenty-five patients with chronic ankle ligament injury were investigated. The mean CAIT score was 1.88 (± 2.35) before the intervention, which increased significantly over the study (P < 0.001). The CAIT score reached 21.84 (± 6.04) in the sixth month after the intervention. Moreover, the VAS score decreased significantly over the study from 6.12 (± 2.35) before the intervention to 1.24 (± 0.43) in the sixth month after the intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings revealed the therapeutic effectiveness of dextrose neurofascial prolotherapy in decreasing pain and functional instability in patients suffering chronic ankle pain due to ligamentous injury accompanied by chronic ankle instability.
