Authors: Shabbir Muhammad Khurram
Published: September 2024

The study examined whether firms that are family-owned avoided more taxation in contrast to the firms that are not owned by families. The study’s sample consisted of non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan stock exchange during the period of 2011 to 2020. The quantile regression approach was used to find the results. The findings showed that firms that were owned by families engaged more in avoidance of tax activities as compared to the other firms. The problems of tax avoidance in the family businesses can be explained mainly because of the agency issues. Additionally, the study also utilized the firm-specific characteristics which were the age of the firm, liquidity, leverage and size. It was found that the firm characteristics variables exhibited a significant influence over the avoidance of tax. The study’s findings have important implications for companies and policy makers in order to address the tax avoidance problem.

Authors: Abid Nabeel
Published: September 2024

The present research investigates shared leadership and its antecedents in the project-based organizations operating in Pakistan’s twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The present study combines the quadratic model of shared leadership with the literature of leadership styles such as Task Orientation shared leadership, Relation Orientation shared leadership, Change Orientation shared leadership, and Micro-Political Orientation shared leadership, which lead to enhanced project team performance via knowledge sharing. The project manager's ambidexterity is also considered in the hypothesized link as a moderator. The data was collected from 291 respondents from different project-based organizations. The results delineate that Task Orientation shared leadership, Change Orientation shared leadership, Relation Orientation shared leadership, and Micro-Political Orientation shared leadership, along with knowledge sharing, have a significant and positive influence on project team performance. Moreover, knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between shared leadership (Task Orientation shared leadership, Change Orientation shared leadership, Relation Orientation shared leadership, and Micro-Political Orientation shared leadership) and project team performance. In addition, the exploitative and explorative behavior of the project manager, playing the role of moderator, was also tested. The results have shown a significant impact of moderation on Task Orientation shared leadership and Change Orientation shared leadership but an insignificant impact on Relation Orientation shared leadership and Micro-Political Orientation shared leadership for exploitative behavior, and moderated the relationship with Task Orientation shared leadership only for explorative behavior respectively.

The population used is the construction sector of Pakistan and the cement sector was selected as the sample size for period of 2016 to 2021. The random effect model is operated as data analysis technique to empirically examine the relationship of variables. The findings show that all predictors influenced the capital structure. The results obtained infer that profitability and cash gap are positively associated with capital structure. Whereas, liquidity, cash productivity of assets and firm valuation is negatively related with capital structure. The two fundamental theories of capital structure, trade-off theory and pecking order theory are used in this study. It emphasizes the significance of probability in determining the capital structure decisions as increased debt usage can lead to tax deductions due to interest payments. The aim is to enhance the company's profits, which in turn will raise the company's worth through optimal selection of capital structure. Our study recommends that companies in construction sector should increase their profitability and manage cash gaps efficiently to leverage positive impact on capital structure and to regularly evaluate form valuation to ensure it aligns with capital structure decision.

Authors: Wu Li , Feng Xin
Published: September 2024

The implementation of core strength training in badminton has received increasing attention as the game and training theories have matured. A single typical strength training session is not the same as core strength training. Strengthening the trunk’s core muscles can help athletes become more adaptable and physically strong, which will have a significant influence on badminton’s future growth. At present, core strength training has been tried to be applied to the routine training of athletes. However, its application has not been scientifically guided and its role cannot be fully exerted, which has adversely affected the improvement of athletes’ skill levels. Consequently, a thorough analysis of badminton’s features was done in this research. The use of core strength training in badminton was thoroughly investigated based on an exploration of the application value of this technique in conjunction with learning and control robot technology. This article examined three levels of special abilities, physical fitness and balancing ability, and compared it with the standard core strength training technology to demonstrate the application impact of the learning control robot’s core strength training in badminton. According to the experimental findings, learning control robot technology may be achieved through core strength training, the average scores of students’ badminton speed quality and strength quality were about 8.10 and 8.45. There was a clear difference between the scores of 6.69 and 7.54 of the traditional training methods, which proved its feasibility.

Published: September 2024

This study examines the relationship between fast food consumption, traditional food consumption, and depression among 157 participants from Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Using a convenience sampling method, data were gathered through a cross-sectional study employing the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The sample predominantly consisted of males (54.1%), unmarried individuals (75.2%), those of middle socioeconomic status (84.7%), and participants living in a joint family system (54.8%). The highest educational level achieved by the participants was a Bachelor’s degree (44.6%), with an average age of 23 years (SD=16.6). Descriptive analysis outlined the demographic characteristics, while independent sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA assessed the associations between the variables. Findings revealed significant mean differences in depression scores between fast food consumers and traditional food consumers, with fast food consumers showing a higher risk of depression (p<0.001). Moreover, married fast food consumers exhibited significantly higher depression scores compared to their unmarried counterparts (p<0.001). No significant gender differences were observed in depression scores. Overall, the study suggests that fast food consumption is linked to an increased risk of depression compared to traditional food consumption, highlighting the potential negative effects of fast food on mental health and the importance of dietary choices in managing depression. These results point to the necessity for further research on dietary habits and mental health, as well as the implementation of public health strategies to encourage healthier eating practices.

Seventy -five percent of the respondents were female and fifteen percent male, with an average age of 42.4 years (S. D = 6.4) and working experience with patients with approximately 10 years (S. d = 5.8). Based on their responses, eighty -three percent of the nurses who were interviewed knew the proper procedures for managing colostomy patients. A planned ostomy care plan was followed by fifty -nine percent of them. Sixty -six percent of the nurses were able to timely identify colostomy complications and intervene without the need to remove the stoma from the patient. Regarding the training courses for the nursing care of patients with ostomy, only seven had developed several training courses on the subject. Providing adequate care for these persons requires a specialized and advanced qualification. To provide care for patients with stoma and to avoid problems, nurses must continue and update their education and training.

Published: September 2024

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) has been a frequently encountered pathology in obstetrics and affects 5-10% of pregnancies. It has been one of the three main causes of perinatal deaths, after premature births and fetal malformations. In approximately one third of cases with FGR, cause or pathology was not found, which made it difficult to prevent or treat them effectively. Mostly, FGR was a consequence of insufficiency of uteroplacental circulation, placental and fetoplacental function. The term SGA (small for gestational age) has to do with constitutional growth rates and the statistical determination within which the newborn is considered smaller for gestational age. Whereas the term FGR (fetal growth retardation) refers to delayed growth below the 10th percentile as a pathological phenomenon. The current management of FGR consists of fetal surveillance to detect a decline in the baby’s health and deliver when this can be safely done. Therefor Doppler ultrasound was considered the chosen technique. The use of low-dose aspirin for preventing FGR and preeclampsia (PE) has been one of the most important research topics for the last 10 years. Several national protocols recommend the treatment with low-dose aspirin (100-150mg daily) for high-risk pregnancies, starting around 12-16 weeks of gestation. It favors placentation by its proangiogenic, antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients are the two main categories of nutrients found in a diet. Diet is an important contributor to human health, and public health bodies are issuing guidelines aimed at favouring healthy food choices. Low food intake and infections are the immediate causes of malnutrition. Many countries struggle with malnutrition or caloric deficits, while others encounter difficulties with caloric overconsumption and micronutrient deficiencies. A multitude of factors contribute to this global problem. Considering the health challenges facing our world population, the need is clear for continually improving recommendations and strategies to promote human health. The purpose of this study was to provide information on the functions of different nutrients, the conditions caused by their deficiency, the components of a healthy diet, and the complications of different types of malnutrition. A lot of research is being done, and new findings are published every day to increase our knowledge about food and nutrition and to find ways to apply this knowledge in choosing the right foods to eat so that our body is well nourished and healthy. For the maintenance of health and growth and to develop greater resistance against infections, one must consume balanced food that contains all the nutrients in the correct proportion.

Introduction: Schizophrenia is an endogenous psychotic disorder with a chronic course, which is characterized by dysfunction in multiple domains: perceptions, thinking, emotions, and cognition. Objective: The main aim of the study was to introduce the relationship between clinical characteristics and cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: The research involved 53 randomly selected male and female respondents from 18 to 60 years of age, who suffer from schizophrenia according to the diagnostic criteria of the International Classification of Diseases – ICD 10, acute schizophrenia treated in the Psychiatric Hospital Skopje - Skopje. We used the following measuring instruments: the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale (SCoRS). Results: The results indicated that the acute schizophrenic patients had higher rating scores in the SCoRS assessment (M=45.736, SD=8.908) in the first week after psychosis onset. A high degree of positive and negative symptoms was a strong predictor of higher cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia. A positive relationship was observed between the PANSS-Positive and ScoRS level (F (53) =0.559, sig. =.001, p<.01). At the same time, positive relationship was observed between the PANSS-Negative and ScoRS level (F (53) =0.283 sig. =.001, p<.01). Conclusions: In the course of our longitudinal prospective study, we found that clinical characteristics of schizophrenia had a great impact on the cognitive dysfunction, whereby this is evident in the acute stage of the disease.

Varicose veins are excessively or permanently elongated, dilated or tortuous venous blood vessels caused by the long-term impact of blood pressure within them. In general, numerous studies show that 1 out of 22 people, i.e. 4.5% of the total studied population, have varicose veins. The representation among women in relation to men is from 1.3-1 to 4.0-1 in favor of women. There are numerous risk factors that contribute to the appearance of varicose veins, but the most significant place still belongs to the family history. During a clinical examination, the knowledge of the anatomical features of the venous system is of crucial importance, the veins of the legs are divided into superficial and deep, which are connected to each other by a third venous system called communicating (perforator) veins. We present a case report of a 62-year-old former professional soccer player and still an active athlete, who came for examination due to pronounced swelling in the region of the right and left ankle, more on the right, with occasional cramps in the evening and a feeling of heaviness in the legs. The changes appeared several years ago and gradually intensified. It gives data on injuries in the past but not on injuries in recent years. She denies past illnesses, while the family history reveals that the mother has varicose veins. The patient underwent a clinical examination as well as an echo Doppler sonography, where enormously dilated varicose veins were noted. The patient received conservative therapy, the lifestyle was changed, but a recommendation for sclerosing therapy was given.

Between 1915 and 1917, during the Armenian Genocide, a number of Armenian women and teenage girls were ill-treated and raped on the deportation roads and in the desert camps. Others were kidnapped and still others were taken to houses where they were treated as slaves and physically molested. A small number of women were forced to trade their bodies for survival. The fate of these abused women and girls was critical and needed to be addressed as soon as WWI ended and the Allied Forces took control of the area. As early as 1918 shelter houses were established in different localities like Aleppo, Damascus, Baghdad and Alexandria. Some of these were run by the American Near East Relief Society and other non-Armenian philanthropic groups. The paper studies the Aleppo Shelter-Home. It was founded by the Oriortats Miyutiun in June 1919, sponsored by the AGBU and, as of January 1920, owned by the AGBU but administered and managed by the said Miyutiun. The paper is abused on the extensive (yet short-lived) correspondence and reporting, which existed between the shelter home and the AGBU periodical, and notes. The paper examines the inception and mission of the Shelter-Home, as well as life in it, those who were accepted, the process of their rehabilitation, the care given, the crafts taught (so that the women could make a living) and their eventual reintegration into the Armenian space at large.

Սուրիահայութիւնն Ու Յետպատերազմեան Սուրիան

Taking the Syrian’s minorities’ perspectives into consideration, one may argue that neither “Islamism” nor “Arabism” seems likely to unite the diverse communities of Syria. Sectarian tensions among the Muslims; non-Muslim minorities’ and Muslim moderates’ fears of the emergence of an Islamic state; Kurdish (and other ethnic minorities’) concerns about Arabisation are issues that should be taken seriously. Therefore, the adoption of Syrian state citizenship as a unifying factor may lead the diverse multinational and multi-ethnic communities of Syria to reconcile their disagreements. Bearing in mind the integrating role various ethnic and religious minorities played in building modern Syria, Syrian citizenship can serve as a common denominator and ensure equality and the rule of law to all Syrians without any sort of discrimination. In this context, the paper highlights the preoccupations of the Syrian Armenian community concerning the current political instability and Syria’s ambiguous future. The paper notes a number of matters of principle which, arguably, could guarantee minority rights and their sustainability in the Syrian state. These include protection of Armenian identity; equality and non-discrimination; active participation in political social and economic life; respect for human rights provisions; minority group rights vis-à-vis historical or cultural places and transactional considerations; measures against marginalization and exclusion in all walks of Syrian socio-political, cultural and economic life.
