Objective: The design of present study was to explore and compare different aspects of fentanyl and DEX when used as adjuvants to hyperbaric bupivacaine in neurexial anesthesia in cases of cesarean sections. Study Design: Randomized Single Blinded study. Setting: Department of Anesthesia, QAMC, Bahawalpur. Period: January, 2019 to December, 2019. Material & Methods: They were divided in three groups, each group consists of 35 patients having the name of group BN, group BF and group BD. Patients in group BN was given the injection bupivacaine alone, group BF, administered injection bupivacaine along with fentanyl 25 mg and group BD given DEX 10 mg with bupivacaine intrathecally between L4 and L5 intervertebral disc. Scrutiny of onset of sensory block to T5, along with time required to attain Bromage O scale (motor block). Regression of sensory block (recovery of sensory function) and time required to reach Bromage 3 scale (recovery of motor function) were also recorded. Hemodynamic parameters such as heart rate, systolic and mean arterial pressures along with Ramsay sedation score were also taken into account. Results: Similar demographic profile has been observed in all groups. All three groups differ in terms of onset of sensory and motor block with p value 0.00 when BN was compared with Group BD and BF. Statistically significant results also observed between group BF and group BD with group BD showing shortest time required for initiation of sensory block (p value .04)  and time to reach Bromage O scale (p value .02) . The duration for regression of four sensory segments shows the statistical significance (P 0.000) when all three groups were compared, however, no difference found between BF (175+12.85 min) and BD (171.88 + 12.33 min) which showed a P-value of 0.240. The time required to reach Bromage 3 score was statistically significant between all three groups (p value 0.00) and was also statistically significant between group BF and group BD (p value 0.00) with longest time taken by BD group to reach BROMAGE 3 scale. Both two research groups showed same degree of sedation and comfort for patient. Conclusion: Hyperbaric bupivacaine, in conjunction with dexmedetomidine and fentanyl produced satisfactory results in terms of faster sensory and motor block onset and prolonged time to take in regression of sensory and motor block in comparison to bupivacaine alone. Dexmedetomidine was better among the two adjuncts. Both adjuvants produce same degree of sedation and comfort for patient and relieved apprehension.

Introduction: Oxidative stress is a phenomenon induced by an imbalance between production and the biological system's ability to readily detoxify oxygen reactive species (ROS) in cells. It has been shown that grape juice can reduce oxidative stress due to the presence of polyphenols. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fresh red grape juice and grape fermentative product on oxidative stress in human erythrocytes. Methods: 5 ml of blood from 125 healthy individuals as control group collected in EDTA containing tubes. To perform biochemical assays, erythrocytes were incubated at 37 ºC for different times including 4, 24, 48, and 72 hours in the presence or absence of grape juice and grape red wine in amounts of 5 ml. Results: Grape juice and grape red wine reduced lipid peroxidation and increase of thiol groups, and total antioxidant capacity after 24 hours of treatment (p < 0.05). Also, the activity of catalase enzyme was increased 4 and 24 hours after treatment with red wine and grape juice, respectively. Conclusion: Grape juice and grape fermentative product may improve the antioxidant power of erythrocytes. This may lead to reducing the risk of free-radical damage and chronic diseases. However, more research with a higher number of samples is necessary to confirm the antioxidant effect of grape juice and red wine on human erythrocytes.

Authors: Zeinab Nazari , Leila Mortazavi , Noushin Gordani
Published: February 2022

Background: Cervical choriocarcinoma is a malignant trophoblastic neoplasm that arises from pluripotent gonadal germ cells. Various manifestations are expected including vaginal bleeding and symptoms related to metastasis. Here, we report a case of primary choriocarcinoma in a post-menopausal woman. Case presentation: A 67-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound and laboratory results were normal except for a β-hCG titer of 14850 IU/L. Hysteroscopy revealed a polyp in the posterior wall of the cervix. hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed due to suspected choriocarcinoma. The β-hCG titer decreased immediately after surgery. However, the β-hCG titer increased again one month after surgery and treatment was continued with weekly methotrexate administration. Conclusion: Manifestations such as vaginal bleeding is very important in post-menopausal women. Although there are no specific guidelines for the treatment of choriocarcinoma in these patients, hysterectomy following chemotherapy based on response to treatment and β-hCG titration is favorable.

This study aimed to examinate effects of drought stress on rice agronomical traits and identify rice genotypes and elite lines that are tolerant to drought. Twenty genotypes consisting of seventeen inbred lines, two parental lines (IR64 and B6144F-MR) and drought tolerant variety APO were evaluated in a split plot design with four replications in experiment with and without water stress. Analysis of variance results indicated that the effects of genotype and drought stress were highly significant for day to 50% flowering, panicle leaf length, panicle leaf width, plant height, panicles number per m2, 1000 grains yield and grains yield. Genotype, drought stress, and Genotype × drought interaction was highly significant for day to 50% flowering, plant height and grains yield. Number of tillers m2, panicle leaf length, plant height, 1000 grains weight, biomass and grains yield were decreased with increasing water stress level; however, day to 50% flowering and panicles number per m2 were increased. Responses of the rice genotypes in water stress varied significantly. There had been different degree of reduction to the yield contributing characters for the stress. From the findings of this study genotypes APO, IRB-MR-412 and B6144F-M showed best drought tolerant level, as these genotypes gave significantly higher yield than the other genotypes under study.

Published: February 2022

Radiation is a natural part of the environment that people interact continuously, and radon is one of the most important sources because of its abundance and mobility. Due to gas form, radon can reach and accumulate in living places easily. Inhalation of radon and its progenies is an important risk factor for health hazards. Accurate measurement of radon levels is quite essential for the dose evaluation of radon exposure in buildings. In this present work, radon concentration was measured indoor 30 office in the College of applied Sciences/Umm Al-Qura University. Radon was measured with a portable Radon counter (Rad 7 detector, Durridge-USA), which was placed on the middle of office at a height of about 0.8 m. 222Rn gas levels were registered in Bq/m3. The measured concentration of radon in the air of office ranged from 14.2 ± 5.68 Bq/m3 to 23.9 ±7.52 Bq/m3 with a mean of 18.96 ± 8.3 Bq/m3, while that of the progeny of radon varied from 0.00164 to 0.00266 WLM Y-1 (average: 0.00211). The mean indoor concentration of radon was considerably less than the lower levels prescribed by EEC 400 Bq/m3, ICRP 200–600 Bq/m3, NRPB 200 Bq/m3, EPA 148 Bq/m3, and WHO 100 Bq/m3. The mean annual effective dose calculated 0.012 mSv y−1, which is less than the UNSCEAR and WHO recommended global lower average dose value of 1 mSv/y. The hazard indices (PAEC, and CPPP) values were lower than the permissibility limit value.

A região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ) é um espaço de grandes transformações que resultam em problemas e impactos ambientais, dentre os quais aqueles relacionados ao clima das cidades. O sensoriamento remoto tem se mostrado útil para mensurar, estimar e avaliar as mudanças e impactos na atmosfera urbana e contribuído para a ciência do clima urbano. As imagens de satélite da plataforma Landsat são aquelas bastante utilizadas para este fim, especialmente quanto à utilização de índices temáticos e estimativa da temperatura.  O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a evolução do campo térmico e da área urbana na RMRJ, entre 2001 e 2020, através da Temperatura da Superfície Continental (TSC) e do Índice de Área Construída (IBI) extraídos das imagens de satélite Landsat. Foram selecionadas as três cidades mais contrastantes no espaço metropolitano e explorados o campo térmico e a sua área urbana. Os resultados mostram que as áreas urbanas evoluíram e coincidem com os mais elevados valores da TSC, dando espaço à manifestação da Ilha de Calor Urbana (ICU), ao passo que aqueles espaços de área natural sem uso urbano expõe a Ilha de Frescor Urbana (IFU). Muitos espaços na RMRJ continuam seu processo de expansão urbana e, portanto, merecem integrar o conhecimento do clima urbano ao seu planejamento.

Published: February 2022

In this study, we demonstrate the strong potential of combining Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based thermal infrared (IR) and magnetic measurements to image the thermal state of volcanic edifices, as well as the distribution of active volcano-tectonic features at depth. Since magnetization is strongly dependent on temperature and alteration, thermally active structures are also associated with a decrease in magnetization. Based on the analysis of recent combined magnetic and infrared acquisitions, we focus on the recent evolution of the summit activity at Piton de la Fournaise. The comparison clearly highlights zones of major thermal activity, alteration and high permeability, and potentially areas of low mechanical resistance. Those observations provide information on preferential pathways for future activity, and also provide constraints on fluid transfer, diffusion, and cooling processes occurring within the volcano subsurface. Through reiterations, such combined UAV measurements are therefore particularly relevant in monitoring volcanic hazards before, during and after eruptions.

“The Business of Teaching and Learning”: Institutionalizing Equity in Educational Organizations Through Continuous Improvement
Authors: Bush-Mecenas Susan
Published: February 2022

The continuous improvement (CI) approach to systems change has rapidly spread across education policy circles in recent years and has been hailed as a promising means to achieve educational equity and social justice. CI’s highly routinized, scientific process for improving efficiency and productivity is a somewhat unexpected means to pursue equity. To understand this puzzle, I examine the use of CI to promote equity through two qualitative, multilevel case studies. I draw on institutional theory to understand how CI has integrated logics of racial equity and performance, and how local actors have improvised novel approaches. This analysis illuminates the complex institutional dynamics at play with CI implementation and identifies the challenges and promise of using CI to promote educational equity.
ВПЛИВ СИСТЕМИ ОБРОБІТКУ ҐРУНТУ ТА ПОПЕРЕДНИКІВ НА УРОЖАЙНІСТЬ І ЯКІСТЬ ЗЕРНА ПШЕНИЦІ ОЗИМОЇ

Published: February 2022

У статті обґрунтовано доцільність переходу від традиційних систем обробітку ґрунту до альтернативних, що сприяють його захисту від ерозії, попереджають втрату гумусу та вологи, забезпечують відновлення його родючості. Метою статті є оцінка впливу різних систем обробітку ґрунту та попередників на урожайність і якість зерна пшениці озимої. Для цього було поставлено та розв’язано такі завдання: встановлено запаси продуктивної вологи у ґрунті; визначено щільність ґрунту; досліджено забур’яненість посівів; визначено урожайність і якість зерна пшениці озимої залежно від систем обробітку ґрунту та попередників. У стаціонарному досліді пшеницю озиму розміщували по трьох попередниках: чорний пар, соя, кукурудза на силос. На всіх полях сівозміни культуру вирощували за трьома технологіями: традиційна, мінімальна і нульова. За результатами досліджень виявлено, що в середньому енергозберігаюча мінімальна та нульова технології забезпечили отримання прибавки врожаю пшениці озимої на 1,4 ц/га. За традиційної технології обробітку у верхньому шарі вологість ґрунту менша, ніж при мінімальній чи нульовій технологіях, тоді як у глибших шарах внаслідок значних опадів перед збиранням суттєвої різниці між варіантами технологій не спостерігалося. Рівень забур’яненості посівів пшениці озимої був найбільшим у разі мінімальної технології обробітку ґрунту за будь-якого попередника та найменшим – за традиційної технології, що є типовим явищем через обмеження механічного обробітку ґрунту. Найбільш високий вміст клейковини зерна пшениці озимої було отримано у разі мінімальної та нульової технологій – відповідно 24,3 і 24,8 % порівняно зі стандартною технологією – 22,9 %. Мінімальна та нульова технології сприяли різкому поліпшенню стану посіву після найгіршого попередника кукурудзи на силос. Особливо це помітно на варіантах нульової технології, де густота стояння після цього попередника на 46 % вище, ніж за традиційної. Отже, в умовах нестачі вологи переваги мінімальної та нульової технологій будуть більші.
Managerial Decisions and Organizational Efficiency with Mediating Effect of Traditional Management Accounting Practices
Authors: Dahal Rewan Kumar
Published: February 2022

The study envisioned looking at the magnitude of the managerial decisions (MDs) on organizational efficiency (OE) with intervening consequences of traditional management accounting practices (TMAPs) in Nepalese companies. The study's outcomes were depended on survey data gathered from 171 working representatives of the Nepalese manufacturing companies (NMCs). The reliability and validity of the analysis were performed by means of Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability (CR), and average variance extracted (AVE). The outcomes showed no significant intervening consequence of TMAPs in the relationship of MDs and OE. The study was limited to the NMCs and applied only one method of survey technique to gather data. No studies were found to show the connection between MDs and OE in NMCs. The study's outcome may further enhance OE if MDs are executed as a feature of an overall organizational strategy. The NMCs can utilize the study model as a rule to present another strategy that integrates MDs, TMAPs, and OE.

Ageing is a process of gradual change in physical appearance and mental situation that causes a person to grow old. To be an old age is one natural process which cannot be controlled but to be alone in old age and need to take support of old age home is one social problem. The study aims to identify the health status of elder people living in the old age home of Kathmandu district. The study collected the data from 72 individuals, aged 60 years and above. The purposive sampling technique was used to select the respondents. The structured survey questionnaire was used for data collection. the result shows that in total majority (88.9%) of the elder people had some types of health problem. Basically, blood pressure, Gastric, and joint pain were the major health problem of elder people. Only 50% of the total respondents had visited the health post when they were ill. Statistically, there was no significant association between the male and female regarding their health problem because the p value was .182 which is greater than .05 significant level. Government should provide free health check-up facilities for such elder people living in the old age home.
The Legend of theGedaniaVoyage Through the Northwest Passage
Authors: Gabryś Marcin
Published: February 2022

This article analyzes a largely unknown voyage undertaken by Capitan Dariusz Bogucki in the summer of 1975 through the Northwest Passage on-board a Polish yacht called Gedania. This expedition was one of the first attempts to navigate the Arctic straits aboard a small sailing vessel and, although unsuccessful, has attained legendary status among Polish sailors. Despite a ban from the Canadian authorities, the Gedania, managed to penetrate 300 miles into the Canadian Arctic. In Resolute Bay the crew failed, however, to persuade local officials to issue a permit and was ordered to sail south immediately. During her retreat from the Arctic a debate among the Canadian public lasting several weeks began as to how a crew from communist Poland had sailed so far north without trouble, only a few years after the US tanker Manhattan had started a political crisis over Canadian sovereignty over the waters of the Northwest Passage. The aim of this article is to verify the legend of the Gedania voyage through the use of archival materials and to discover whether the reasons consent was refused to the Gedania were entirely based on practical considerations or whether they also had political dimensions.
Intersectionalities of Opportunism: Justin Trudeau and the Politics of “Diversity”
Authors: Findlay Tammy
Published: February 2022

For Prime Minister Trudeau, “equity talk” is central to his brand. He is a self-identified feminist, who embraces the terminology of equity, diversity, and inclusion, and borrows from discourses of intersectionality to frame his politics. There is now emerging literature that measures this “progressive” rhetoric against the reality, and this article seeks to contribute to that body of work. The focus of this article is especially on the use of “diversity” under the Liberal government of Justin Trudeau. I begin by outlining how “diversity” has always held a complicated place in feminist, critical race, post-colonial, and intersectional scholarship and activism. The concepts of diversity and difference are used to analyze socially-constructed inequalities based on gender, sex, race, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, ability, citizenship, and geography ( CRIAW 2006 ; Dhamoon 2009 ), while also problematized for their superficial and instrumental applications. I argue that when held to scrutiny, Prime Minister Trudeau’s language on diversity falls into this latter categorization, where diversity is used as a descriptor rather than an analytical tool and as an opportunistic political device that undermines equitable public policy. This article focuses specifically on the equation of diversity with regional difference, in which provincial/territorial “diversity” is unquestioned, un-scrutinized, and naturalized. Provincial/territorial “diversity” is wholly celebrated. Using three policy examples (climate change, child care, and genetic discrimination), I argue that a substantive intersectional policy analysis reveals Trudeau’s celebration of regional policy “diversity,” as actually a defence of inequality and disparity.

Evidence suggests that the contextual factor of attraction effects such as decoy and phantom candidates affect the task of choosing a single job candidate from a small set of comparable finalists. Nevertheless, the number of studies of the attraction effect on the job-finalist choice is relatively small and bound to methodological gaps (i.e., vulnerable to invariant sample and individuals’ differences). The present study examined the influence of decoy and phantom candidates on job-finalist choice as well as differences of such influence based on participants’ background. By using a within-subject, experimental design, 98 participants of different backgrounds (i.e., personnel selection workers and personnel selection students) were recruited to play the roles of hiring managers in three simulated employee selection scenarios. Results from McNemar’s chi-square revealed the following: (i) participants tend to choose the target candidate in decoy condition over control condition, (ii) participants tend to choose the target candidate in phantom condition over control condition and (iii) no difference in the number of participants who chose the target candidate in decoy and phantom conditions. Besides, results from further analysis on participants’ backgrounds showed: (i) the effect of a decoy candidate is significant among students but not among workers (ii) the effect of phantom candidate is not significant among both workers and students, and (iii) the difference between the effects of decoy and phantom candidates is significant among workers but not among students. The implications of these findings were discussed, and recommendations for future research are provided.

Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) may have risk factors of Functional and Behavioral difficulties. Aims: To Determine the parental distress as a result of functional and behavioral difficulties of children with C.P. Methodology: The population was based in Pakistan, cross-sectional survey was conducted in which caregivers of 40 children with CP aged 3-8 Years were involved by online “ Survey System” software and completed the Agitated Behavior Scale(ABS), The Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire and Parental Stress Scale to determine the child’s behavior, functional difficulties, and parental distress. Correlation paired 2-tail and Linear regression was used to analyze the data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20.Results: The demographic data (Age and Gender),non-significant regression equation f=2 (37), P > 0.01 with an Power calculation r2 = 0.45. Functional difficulties (F.A and L. A),  not-significant regression equation was found  df=4(35) , P > 0.01 with an Power calculation r2 = 0.07 while, not-significant regression equation was found df=5(34) , P > 0.01 with an Power calculation r2 = 0.03 and findings indicate that parental distress has no statistically significant relationship (|r| n=40, p> 0.05) to Functional Abilities , Locomotors Abilities and Behavior Difficulties. Conclusion and Implications: Evidence shows that psychological, behavioral, emotional, and communication problems are frequent in children with CP. It’s not compulsory to have highly rated parental stress in case of children having any disability and child’s effect agitated behaviors. Effective rehabilitation programs should provide not only sufficient opportunities for the children’s disabilities but also psychological support for the mothers.

New normal: An HRM perspective of post COVID-19 in the airline industry
Authors: Imam Hassan
Published: February 2022

In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared a public health emergency and announced a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which would later go on to be declared as a pandemic, changing the global sphere and placing the economies of almost all countries under heavy stress. The airline industry, that had just begun recovering after facing crises one after another in the last two decades, from early 2000 due to 9/11, to the global financial crisis later, is now oce again facing an enormous challenge of closed borders and greater lockdowns due to the pandemic. Borders are closed, with very few planes are in the air, while the rest are grounded. The purpose of this paper is to give a conceptual understanding of the current pandemic situation and its consequences on the airline industry. The paper takes a unique perspective of human resource management (HRM) that is rarely used in the airline industry.

Authors: Shahid Shiza , Shahid Amina
Published: February 2022

Suicide is more likely in those who suffer from depression, which is a debilitating condition. College students and recent graduates from countries where the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been particularly severe are particularly at risk because of the rigorous lockdown measures they confront and the limited resources they have to deal with it. The study's goal was to determine how much depression, stress and anxiety graduates experienced during lockdown due to the dread of the COVID-19 pandemic virus. A total of 120 graduates (44% females, 56% males) between 20 and 38 years old were surveyed. The sample involved 68% of students from public universities and 32% from private universities. It was found that the average levels of depression, stress, and anxiety were all higher than those considered normal. Fear of COVID was linked to depression, stress, and anxiety in a statistically positive relationship. The dread of COVID and depression are inextricably linked through the mediating role of anxiety and stress. In addition, there was no difference in males' and females' degrees of fear of COVID-19 and depression. The findings of this study illustrate the critical role that fear, stress, and anxiety play in the onset of depressive symptoms and how they might be taken into account in programs aimed at avoiding and treating this disorder. Some general techniques for minimizing stress and fear of COVID-19 are proposed, as are programs geared specifically to regulate and overcome graduate anxiety.

Potensi tingkat keanekaragaman tumbuhan paku di wilayah Sulawesi yang cukup tinggi menyebabkan penelitian mengenai keanekaragaman tumbuhan paku telah sering dilakukan, akan tetapi penelitian keanekaragaman di provinsi Sulawesi Barat khususnya di Desa Kondo Bulo, Kecamatan Kalumpang, Kabupaten Mamuju masih belum pernah dilakukan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat keanekaragaman tumbuhan paku dan hubungannya dengan parameter lingkungan, serta membandingkan jenis tumbuhan paku pada daerah pemukiman dan daerah hutan alami. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif eksploratif. Data dikumpulkan melalui metode Systematic Plot Sampling. Hasil menunjukan bahwa terdapat 16 jenis tumbuhan paku yang termasuk ke dalam 11 famili. Famili dengan jumlah jenis terbanyak adalah Polypodiaceae dan Pteridaceae. Nilai indeks habitat hutan alami yaitu H’=2,389; C=0,112; E=0,905; dan DMn=0,896 dan nilai indeks habitat pemukiman yaitu H’=1,774; C=0,198; E=0,853; dan DMn=0,666 dengan IS yang tergolong ke dalam sangat tidak mirip pada kedua habitat yaitu 1,2%. Perbedaan nilai indeks disebabkan oleh faktor lingkungan seperti suhu, kelembaban, intensitas cahaya dan pH tanah.
