Authors: Güler Pınar , Uluata Sibel
Published: June 2024

Halal food is defined as food in which all processes are carried out in accordance with Islamic rules, from production to consumption, that is, from the place where the product is produced to the table. While certain conclusions can be made about whether many products are halal or haram, more information is needed for products with questionable status. For this, high-sensitivity analysis methods have been developed. In this study, a ques tionnaire was conducted to determine the attitudes and expectations about halal food of consumers living in Malatya about halal food. The questionnaire form consists of three parts. In the first part, the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the consumers were questioned. In the last part, questions were asked to learn the attitudes and expectations of consumers. Data were otained from 430 consumers living in the city center of Malatya. The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS 25.0 program. According to the result of the ques tionnaire; 51.4% of the respondents were women, 80.5% of them were married. Also 37.9% of respondents are undergraduates, 26.7% of them are housewives and 18.6% have an income level of minimum wage or below. While it has been determined that 76% of the respondents have knowledge about halal food, but just 27.9% of them pay attention to the halal food certificate of the products they buy. In addition, it has been determined that the majority of consumers question the halal food certificate when purchasing animal food products. According to these results, it is necessary to increase more information on products in order to be more involved in the halal food market.

La importancia de la certificación LEED en proyectos arquitectónicos de salud
Authors: Arriaga-López Lilian , Reyes-Sánchez Hilda Patricia
Published: June 2024

La demanda a nivel mundial de los hospitales, ha aumentado al paso del tiempo, siendo este espacio el reflejo de diversos sucesos históricos que le han orillado a adaptarse a diversas condiciones físicas, sociales y ambientales a las que se enfrenta la sociedad, a su vez, careciendo de espacios indispensables para sus funcionamientos. La finalidad de este artículo  es generar conciencia en los arquitectos para la implementación de estrategias en el  diseño con el uso de energías limpias, sobre todo en el sector salud, a nivel nacional e internacional ya que como se sabe son los nosocomios que generan mayor índice de contaminación en los desechos (orgánicos, inorgánicos y RPBI) que diariamente se producen así como también el espacio arquitectónico que consume mayores energéticos por ejemplo “Según el Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina (13), una distribución típica del consumo de energía en hospitales sería: 51% en climatización, 12% en ventilación y bombas, 6% en agua caliente sanitaria, 14% en iluminación y 17% en equipos. Con estos antecedentes mediante un enfoque más empático hacía el medio ambiente, integrando las normas LEED al diseño como alternativa urgente se pretende que con esta implementación de certificación en el sector salud, y los espacios correctamente equipados mejoren la calidad, la atención médica y evitaran gastos energéticos innecesarios. Otra implementación son los espacios verdes que nos benefician de diferentes formas, ya que, existen estudios que sugieren que estos disminuyen las condiciones desfavorables de salud incluyendo las patologías cardiovasculares, diabetes y cáncer.  Existe una gran problemática social/ambiental que requiere crear conciencia para las futuras construcciones integrando diversos factores, ya que el crecimiento de la población demanda con fuerza los recursos y los espacios, creando colapso en situaciones de emergencia, es por ello que las edificaciones deben responder a demandas actuales y futuras.
Triada de expresiones Art Déco en la ciudad de La Paz-Bolivia
Authors: Zamorano-Tapia Julio Alejandro
Published: June 2024

El Art Déco, es un estilo complejo porque tiene muchas manifestaciones y variaciones en el mundo, y que, por ser poco descrito al hacer referencia a este, se propicia una generalidad sobre el estilo, y al final este hecho implica confusión. En consecuencia, resulta importante estudiarlo desde su manifestación y las variaciones en relación de su aspecto. El estilo Art Déco ha tenido una influencia importante dentro de la arquitectura mundial, no solamente por las características visuales que esta muestra o por el momento histórico donde apareció, sino, por su posibilidad de adaptarse al espacio donde se hubiese manifestado, pudiendo absorber distintas culturas o formas de decoración mostrando una riqueza particular del estilo. Por lo cual, se ha elegido hacer el análisis de construcciones que cuentan con una categorización de bien patrimonial dentro del territorio de la ciudad de La Paz-Bolivia, lo cual, sitúa a este artículo en un enfoque cualitativo, para luego, metodológicamente hablando; buscar la suficiente información bibliográfica general en cuanto al estilo, sus características y después cómo han sido catalogadas las arquitecturas por distintos autores de renombre del territorio boliviano. Posteriormente estos conocimientos permiten determinar las particularidades en cotejo con entrevistas desarrolladas a especialistas, lo cual acentuó la elección de los 3 edificios más representativos del territorio de La Paz para análisis por las diferencias en acabado de fachada que estas obras presentan, donde una de estas obras arquitectónicas es elegida para generar un análisis compositivo, espacial-funcional y de acabado ornamental, esta elección específica del último edificio es particular respecto de su tipología de edificio y el acabado mismo de la arquitectura que muestra una forma diferente de Art Déco, que incluso puede generar una nueva variante de manifestación de estilo.

The quantity and diversity of plankton communities in the water directly affect the rearing of fish fingerlings. Therefore, the present study was conducted to estimate the abundance and diversity of plankton communities including both phytoplankton and zooplankton in relation to key water quality parameters of carp fish nursery ponds in Chachra, Jashore Sadar, Bangladesh for four months from August to November 2017. Both phytoplankton and zooplankton showed a significant variation during the study period. The most abundant phytoplankton was observed in October, followed by August, November, and September. In total, 12 genera of phytoplankton from 4 different groups, Bacillariophyceae (2), Cyanophyceae (3), Euglenophyceae (3), and Chlorophyceae (4) were recorded. Total 5 major groups of zooplankton containing 20 genera were recorded such as Copepoda (4), Isopoda (1), Cladocera (9), Branchiopoda (3), Rotifera (3), where Cladocera was the most dominant. The results of PCA suggest that phytoplankton abundance is positively associated with PC1, whereas the temperature (0.59) and pH (0.74) are positively associated with PC1, and nitrate (-0.73) and phosphate (-0.64) are negatively associated with PC1. Alkalinity (0.84) and hardness (0.87) are positively, and nitrite (-0.56) is negatively associated with PC2. The zooplankton abundance is associated with neither PC1 nor PC2 rather it is associated with PC3, where DO (0.56) is positively associated. The present study revealed that plankton abundance could vary with physico-chemical parameters of fish nursery ponds.

Authors: Panhwar Sher Khan
Published: June 2024

This study was intended to gauge seawater penetration in the lower Indus region and an overview on economic, social and ecological snags including (i) agriculture which is occupation of over 60% population residing in the Badin, Sujawal and Thatta districts of Sindh (ii) The escalating freshwater scarcity is leading to either displacement of populations or forcing them to live below poverty line due to the diminishing cultivable land (iii) People switched from agriculture profession to fisheries (iv) The lack of access to quality drinking water and the presence of unsuitable underground water pose significant health hazards (v) No-water in lower Indus region has damaged river and estuarine ecosystem that provide geo-ecological services (vi) Since long meagre dischargement of sediment reached toward delta permitted seawater to penetrate thousand acers of cultivable land into saline soil. The most affected dehs of Thatta district include three Talukas Mirpur Sakhro (14 Dehs), Ghorbari (7 Dehs) and Keti Bunder (31 Dehs). Three dehs Milko, Pirpathai and Pumbri of Mirpur Sakhro are completely under sea water and out of agriculture. Sea water inundation has badly affected Ghorabari Taluka over thirty-two-thousand-acre land of seven Dehs are now briny. Thirty-one Dehs of Taluka Keti Bunder are completely barren. Badin district is divided in two talukas (Badin and Shaheed Fazil Rahu) and ten Dehs namley, Babralo, Dharan, Warayo, Sando, Patiji, Thath, Siantri, Khudi, Palh, Ahmed Rajo, out of which three dehs Babralo, Siantri and Ahmed Rajoare completely barren in a limited period of (2008-2018). Overall outcomes of this study reveal that southernmost region of Sindh encounter rampant seawater penetration. Hence, the construction of solid infrastructure such as coastal highways, dense forestation, reinforcement of coastal banks in affected areas, and ensuring continuous freshwater flow towards lower region imperative.
IUU Fishing policy adoption in Pakistan: An overview
Authors: Salahuddin Ghazi , Bellefontaine Neil , Qamar Nazia
Published: June 2024

Several initiatives have been taken to fight against IUU fishing globally. In a recent development FAO has developed a new agreement to prevent IUU fish catch reaching to the ports. In this context, Regional Fisheries Organizations have a key role in the fight against illegal fishing in their territorial waters. However, many east African and southwest Indian Ocean states do not pay attention to adopt IUU prevention measures. They should have no history of IUU activities and are subject to inspections during the arrival and amp; landing of fish. In this research, we provided three types of forms for the various measures are prescribed in the model scheme. The Application (form A) for Port Access for foreign fishing vessels should be submitted 72 hours before the arrival of the Vessel. Information on fishing trips, vessel characteristics, VMS, quantities of fish on board, and other documentation should be provided. The name of the vessel is verified to ensure that it does not appear on the list of IUU. For tuna and tuna-like species, the name of the vessel is checked against the positive list of the Indian Ocean Tuna.

Authors: Qayyum Sehrish
Published: June 2024

Environmental challenges are posing serious threats not only to humanity but to all creatures on Earth. Countering rapid ecological degradation in the last two decades has been a source of serious stress for the international community. According to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), human imprint is contributing to climate change due to many factors. The retrospective study highlights oil spills, plastic pollution, nuclearization, Illegal Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IUUF), domestic waste, agricultural waste, and heavy metal pollution as reasons towards environmental degradation and negative impacts on marine ecosystems. Analytical study of international efforts for ecological protection highlights certain limitations to implementing international agreements and protocols. Parties’ non-compliance to surrender their sovereignty before international organizations is a serious matter. Such a situation needs revisiting the international attitude towards environmental protection not for the current population but for generations to come. Descriptive research approach employed for comparative analysis of internationalpopulation efforts results in region-specific recommendations. Consent of all participating states to make concrete efforts to save Earth's ecosystem will worth more for action. Regularly revised international regulations and protocols as per circumstantial needs will help to secure seas and maritime environment.
Sino-US Escalating Competition in Indo-Pacific Ocean: Challenges and Choices for Pakistan
Authors: Sajjad Sayyeda Aqsa
Published: June 2024

The Indo-Pacific Ocean has gained significant international focus in the 21st century. It plays a crucial role as a habitat for many countries and enables more than 80% of global trade through its sea routes. The region's abundant energy resources make it extremely important, leading great powers to compete for dominance. The rise of China in the region, together with the declining power of the United States, has forced the United States to assertively cultivate new alliances with regional states and strengthen existing partnerships. Simultaneously, China is making significant investments in neighbouring states to create and strengthen diplomatic relations. The ongoing power struggle between the US and China is having a negative impact on the neighbouring states in the region. The United States and India's strategic cooperation has prompted the area to indulge in an arms race, due to the longstanding hostilities with Pakistan. Due to Pakistan's crucial involvement in China's vital initiative, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the country is unable to disengage from the complexities of intense competition among major powers.

A Organização das Nações Unidas para a Alimentação e a Agricultura (FAO) relata que o aumento da população aumenta a demanda por alimentos, tornando-se uma preocupação a produção de proteínas de origem animal que possa atender ao crescimento da população mundial. Com isso, as biotecnologias da reprodução estão sendo desenvolvidas, tais como inseminação artificial (IA), inseminação artificial em tempo fixo (IATF), transferência de embriões (TE) e fertilização in vitro de embriões (FIV), com o objetivo de aumentar a eficiência reprodutiva dos rebanhos, controlar doenças, adotar práticas sustentáveis, promover o bem-estar animal e melhorar a qualidade dos produtos. O uso do ultrassom na Inseminação Artificial (IA) apresenta diversas vantagens e desempenha um papel crucial no processo de reprodução assistida. Ele é fundamental no monitoramento do ciclo estral, estimando o momento da ovulação da fêmea, na seleção dos melhores momentos para a sincronização e inseminação, no acompanhamento do desenvolvimento embrionário e na confirmação da gestação. Existem vários protocolos de IATF disponíveis, e a escolha do protocolo adequado depende de fatores como a espécie animal, o manejo reprodutivo adotado e as condições específicas de cada propriedade. Este estudo tem como objetivo discutir sobre a utilização do ultrassom como ferramenta determinante na flexibilização dos protocolos de inseminação artificial em tempo fixo (IATF) de bovinos, verificando quais vacas estão aptas a receber o implante vaginal e medicações, bem como avaliar o diâmetro folicular para flexibilizar o momento das inseminações. Esta estratégia visa melhorar as taxas de prenhez sem aumentar os dias de manejo. Constatou-se que a utilização do ultrassom é determinante na flexibilização dos protocolos de IATF, principalmente no que diz respeito à avaliação do ciclo reprodutivo. Ele permite o monitoramento preciso do ciclo reprodutivo das fêmeas, identificando o momento ideal para a inseminação e impactando significativamente na eficiência reprodutiva do gado, na sustentabilidade, no bem-estar animal, na economia, na pesquisa científica, no compartilhamento de melhores práticas e na possibilidade de melhoria da qualidade dos produtos e derivados.
SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC STUDIES OF CANCER PATIENTS IN TERMS OF MEDICINAL PLANTS AS NEW RISK FACTOR AT CANCER HOSPITAL NIMRA, JAMSHORO
Authors: QURESHI ST , JUNEJO S , MALIK S , MEMON SA , SADIA .
Published: June 2024

Cancer is the third leading cause of mortality in Pakistan. Despite increased awareness about significant cancer risk factors and efforts to avoid them, cancer incidence continues to rise. This suggests that there may be other hidden physical and chemical agents responsible for cancer. Various plants used as long-term alternative medicine have recently been identified as genotoxic, capable of damaging DNA. Objective: This study aimed to identify medicinal plants with genotoxic potential and their association with cancer risk factors through a socio-demographic survey. Methods: This interview-based survey was conducted at the Nuclear Institute of Medicine & Radiotherapy (NIMRA) Cancer Hospital. The study included 109 cancer patients and was conducted over six months. Participants were categorized into four risk factor groups: other risk factors (ORF), other risk factors with medicinal plant (MP) intake (ORF+MPs), medicinal plants only (MPs), and only milk tea drinkers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine the association between medicinal plant use and cancer incidence. Results: The survey revealed four risk factor categories: ORF, ORF+MPs, MPs, and tea. The highest number of cancer patients (49) were in the tea category, while the lowest (11) were in the MPs-only category. Among male cancer patients, 53% were ORF+MPs users, whereas 55% of female cancer patients were in the tea category. Most male and female MP users were older, less educated, unemployed or low-income, unmarried, and urban residents. Only 11 patients (8 female, three male) used 18 types of MPs for various health issues before their cancer diagnosis, with stomach gas being the most common problem. The duration of MP use ranged from 14 years to one month, and the interval between MP use and cancer diagnosis ranged from 10 to 1 year. Among female MP users, breast cancer was the most common, while each male MP user had different types of cancer (brain tumor, stomach cancer, and cheek cancer). The most frequently used MPs were beetroot (BR), pepper fruit (PF), and senna leaves (SL). Conclusion: Long-term intake of medicinal plants is more common in females and may constitute a new risk factor for cancer, particularly in individuals who do not interact with known risk factors. Genotoxicity tests on the identified medicinal plants are recommended.

The gum-yielding species Sterculia urens Roxb., known for its valuable ‘Karaya Gum,’ plays a crucial role in various industries. However, unscientific exploitation, poor natural regeneration and inadequate seedling recruitment have led to a significant decline in its natural populations. A pilot study was conducted across ten sites in different forest divisions of Madhya Pradesh to assess the natural regeneration status. Study revealed that overall natural regeneration status was poor. Based on field observations, the study recommends the inclusion of S. urens in plantation programs of State Forest Departments to enhance its long-term security. Additionally, we advocate for assisted natural regeneration (ANR) activities within its natural ranges, emphasizing monitoring and adaptive management to ensure successful regeneration.

Exploring Gamification Approaches in Grammar Learning
Authors: Minak Inton Ledy Nur Lely
Published: June 2024

The integration of digital tools into education has fostered innovative methodologies like gamification, which is particularly notable in the field of grammar learning. This literature review assesses the role of gamification—defined as the use of game design elements in educational settings—in enhancing grammar mastery. Traditional grammar teaching often struggles to maintain student engagement and motivation, which are critical for effective learning. This review evaluates the efficacy of gamification in grammar instruction by analyzing empirical studies and scholarly articles from databases including Google Scholar and various educational journals. Focused keywords such as "gamification," "grammar learning," and "educational technology" guided the literature search, with a selection criteria aimed exclusively at studies intersecting gamification and grammar learning. The review details the application of gamification elements like points, badges, leaderboards, and challenges, and their impact on learner engagement, motivation, and academic outcomes. It also discusses the educational theories underpinning these strategies, such as behaviorism and constructivism. The findings suggest that while gamification significantly boosts engagement and motivation, its effect on actual grammar learning outcomes remains mixed. The review highlights a need for more longitudinal research to understand the long-term benefits and demographic variations. Consequently, while promising, gamification in grammar education requires further targeted investigation to fully realize its potential.

This study explores the various AI technologies and applications employed in ELT, including personalized learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, automated writing evaluation tools, and language learning apps. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, theoretical frameworks, and empirical studies, this paper examines the effectiveness, pedagogical implications, ethical considerations, and future directions of AI integration in ELT. Key findings reveal that AI-driven tools provide personalized, adaptive, and interactive learning experiences tailored to individual learners' needs, promoting student engagement, autonomy, and proficiency development. While AI technologies offer numerous benefits for language instruction, including improved learning outcomes, teacher efficiency, and accessibility, they also raise ethical and social considerations, such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and equity issues. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative efforts among educators, policymakers, researchers, and technology developers to ensure responsible and equitable AI use in language education. Looking ahead, future directions include advancing AI technology, integrating AI and pedagogy, promoting ethical and responsible AI use, providing teacher training and professional development, fostering collaborative research and evaluation, innovating in assessment and evaluation, and promoting global collaboration and knowledge sharing in ELT. By embracing innovation, collaboration, and ethical practice, educators can harness the transformative power of AI technologies to create dynamic, inclusive, and effective language learning environments that empower learners to succeed in today's interconnected world.
