Authors: Ola Aranuwa Felix
Published: January 2023

The environmental impact assessment for chemical substances on human health damage has been of significantinterest sometime in the EU, USA, and Japan. In Thailand, such an environmental impact is now receiving more attention.The present study focuses on developing the damage factors of chemical substances on human health based on the multimedia box type fate and exposure model via IMPACT 2002, with the model adapted to Thailand. Human health damagefactors are expressed in terms of disability–adjusted life year (DALY) per kg emission. The development method includesfour steps: fate analysis, exposure analysis, potency, and severity analysis. This study derived new damage factors of 144chemical substances that quantify the impact damage of an emission change on human health damage. It was found that thecharacterization factors for human health damage range from 7.34×10-9to 1.30×103 DALY per kg emitted. This workprovides new information for damage factors on human health in Thailand based on the IMPACT 2002 model, modified forThailand. Future research should include uncertainty analysis of the major relevant parameters, which could provideinformation on the reliability of the damage function.
Differential expression of SPRED1 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2023

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of SPRED1, encoding sprouty-related EVH1 domain-containing 1, in the skeletal muscle of patients with ALS. SPRED1 was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. SPRED1 transcript was present at significantly higher levels in ALS patient skeletal muscle as compared to control skeletal muscle. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.

Authors: van de Groep Suzanne , van de Groep Ilse H. , Crone Eveline
Published: January 2023

Adolescence and emerging adulthood are important developmental periods for extending prosocial behaviors to broader societal contexts, which is influenced by widespread access to online environments. This study examined online emotional support and online activism in 998 adolescents and young adults (ages 12–24; 59% female) using an extended version of the Online Prosocial Behavior Scale (OPBS-E). First, we established the scale's convergent validity with offline prosocial behaviors and demonstrated reliability across two time points, separated by 6 months. Results showed that online emotional support was positively correlated with economic game donations to friends, while online activism was linked to higher compulsive social media use. Second, this study revealed distinct age and gender patterns for online emotional support and activism. Overall, females showed more online emotional support than males, whereas males showed more online activism. Age patterns revealed that online emotional support was higher for females than males in younger adolescence and young adulthood, but males showed similar levels of online emotional support as females in the late teenage years. Furthermore, younger adolescents demonstrated higher levels of online activism with decreasing trends into emerging adulthood, independent of gender. This study shows diverse manifestations and developmental patterns for online prosocial behaviors and attitudes. It underscores the importance of considering the online environment in understanding adolescents' and young adults’ prosocial development.

Published: January 2023

The present study explores the plausibility of measuring personality indirectly through an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot. This chatbot mines various textual features from users’ free text responses collected during an online conversation/interview, and then uses machine learning algorithms to infer personality scores. We comprehensively examine the psychometric properties of the machine-inferred personality scores, including reliability (internal consistency, split-half, and test-retest), factorial validity, convergent and discriminant validity, and criterion-related validity. Participants were undergraduate students (n = 1,444) enrolled in a large southeastern public university in the U.S. who completed a self-report Big-Five personality measure (IPIP-300) and engaged with an AI chatbot for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. In a subsample (n = 407), we obtained participants’ cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) from the University Registrar and had their peers rate their college adjustment. In an additional sample (n = 61), we obtained test-retest data. Results indicated that machine-inferred personality scores (a) had overall acceptable reliability at both the domain and facet levels, (b) yielded a comparable factor structure to self-reported questionnaire-derived personality scores, (c) displayed good convergent validity but relatively poor discriminant validity (averaged convergent correlations = .48 vs. averaged machine-score correlations = .35 in the test sample), (d) showed low criterion-related validity, and (e) exhibited incremental validity over self-reported questionnaire-derived personality scores in some analyses. In addition, there was strong evidence for cross-sample generalizability of psychometric properties of machine scores. Theoretical implications, future research directions, and practical considerations are discussed.
Smartphones as first aid in the pocket
Authors: Schneider Frank M. , Rieger Diana , Hopp Frederic R.
Published: January 2023

When people feel socially threatened and excluded, they could use their mobile phones to reconnect with others and feel better. We assumed that such positive results can occur even if mobile phones are not actively used. Rather, it may suffice if users believe that carrying a mobile phone ensures social connection. This mindset may help users recover a sense of belonging during self-threatening situations. In two experiments, we asked whether the smartphone as a physical device or its symbolic representation can aid in everyday self-threatening situations. In Study 1 (N = 74), participants with their smartphones in their pockets experienced less threatened belongingness than those who were deprived of their smartphones. In Study 2 (N = 419), participants who encountered a smartphone symbol with social apps after feeling socially excluded recovered better than those who encountered a symbol with informational apps, but showed no difference in recovery compared to those who encountered no symbol at all. Findings support the idea that smartphones can ‘physically’ buffer against social threats and partially serve as subtle reminders of social bonds.
Phytochemical Screening of Ethnomedicinal Herbal Extracts and their Effect on Microbial Quality of Sukuti
Authors: Rai Sangen Ruma
Published: January 2023

The effect of herbal extracts of four ethnomedicinal herbs (Zanthoxylumarmatum, Litsea cubeba, Heracleum nepalense, and Evodia fraxinifolia) of culinary importance on the microbial quality of sukuti (a traditional dried meat product) was studied. Herbal extracts were prepared by grinding each herb to particle size < 250 μm, extracting in 50% (v/v) ethanol, and concentrating in a rotary vacuum evaporator at 50oC. Four of the spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms, viz., Salmonella, Staphylococcus, E. coli, and Lactobacillus were isolated from market sukuti samples and used as test organisms for the study. Herbal extracts at the concentration of 40, 20, 10, and 2 mg/ml were tested against the test organisms to determine the antimicrobial property of the extracts. The herbal extract showing the greatest antimicrobial activity was selected for use in optimized product (sukuti) development. The total phenolic content of the herbal extracts was also determined. The analyses were performed in triplicate. The data were checked for homogeneity before being analyzed with ANOVA in Genstat Release v12. The Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) method was used to compare data means at a 5% level of significance. Zanthoxylum armatum at 40 mg/ml concentration showed the largest zone of inhibition (ZOI) against the test organisms and was therefore selected for final product development. Meat strips (1 cm × 1 cm × 25 cm) were marinated with Zanthoxylum armatum (40 mg/ml) extract at the rate of 2%, aged (24 h at 4 ± 2oC), and dried in a cabinet dryer for 2 days at 55oC. The total plate counts (TPCs) of control (untreated)- and herbal (treated) sukuti were carried out for 20 days at an interval of 10 days to determine the microbial stability of the final product. The TPC for the treated sample was significantly lower (p<0.05) than that of the untreated sample.

Published: January 2023

Groundwater has been utilized as the major source of water for household, irrigation and industrial purpose. The hydrogeological condition in the Terai region of the Butwal area, Rupandehi district was assessed. The subsurface lithological section and hydro-stratigraphic units of the area within the depth of 80 m were produced using secondary data from borehole lithologs. The study area i.e., quaternary deposit, comprises boulders, cobble, pebble, gravel and another alluvial (river) deposits. Thick and coarse aquifer materials (boulder and gravel) were determined at wells (DW-2,5,8 and 6), that were lying nearby rivers and foothills of Siwalik. While the proportion of finer sediments (sand and clay) was greater in the southern part of the study area.  The aquifers in the study area are delineated as unconfined to confined types which are well-recharged primarily through precipitation and surface runoff in the monsoon period. The application of Duba’s Method for groundwater recharge in the study area shows 44 MCM/year. Though the study area is an urban area, the physicochemical parameters like pH, TDS, DO, EC and temperature range within Nepal’s Drinking Water Standard permissible limits. However, as urbanization grows, the quality and quantity may deteriorate in the future, necessitating the adoption of appropriate and sustainable management techniques to safeguard these groundwater resources.

Published: January 2023

Activated charcoal possesses small pores that help in the increment of the surface area available for chemical reactions. In this study, coal samples were taken from Kalimati, Dharan, and Eastern Nepal with the goal of determining the antibacterial activity of activated charcoal against Escherichia coli. This study also measured the moisture content, volatile substances, fixed carbon, and pH of coal using proximate analysis. This study was carried out by the activated carbon impregnation with silver nanoparticles by varying with the different AgNO3 concentrations: a) 0.1 mol/liter (mol/L) b) 1 mol/L c) 1.5 mol/L one at a time. By the proximate analysis, it was found that the moisture content was 2.2%, the volatile matter was 15%, the fixed carbon was 53.8%, and the pH was 5.83. The antimicrobial activity was performed by agar well diffusion methods. With 25 mg nanoparticles the zone of inhibition against E. coli was found to be 7 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm respectively and with 50 mg nanoparticles the zone of inhibition against E. coli was found to be 9 mm, 9 mm and 12 mm with concentration 0.1 mol/L, 1 mol/L and 1.5 mol/L of AgNO3 respectively. According to Pearson correlation (r = 0.697) and a simple linear regression (R2 = 0.798), there was a positive relationship between the concentration of AgNO3 and the zone of inhibition observed against E. coli. The highest zone of inhibition (ZOI) of activated charcoal impregnation against E. coli was 12 mm at 1.5 mol/L of AgNO3 with 50 mg silver nanoparticles, which was comparatively less against seven standard antibiotics (13-29 mm ZOI).
Cultural Diplomacy in Salman Rushdie’s Shalimar the Clown
Authors: Chandra Bahadur K. C.
Published: January 2023

Cultural diplomacy refers to the relationships between two or more countries through the exchanges of cultural activities. Its key principle is to foster common values like faith, social justice, and responsibility. Cultural diplomacy helps people from diverse backgrounds to find common ground. A literary text like a novel can express the issues of identity and culture that are relevant to the readers of different nations and cultures. The purpose of this article is to give the theoretical concept of cultural diplomacy and to dig out the ingredients of cultural diplomacy inherent in Salman Rushdie’s novel Shalimar the Clown. This paper asserts that the novel is a great literary work to study cultural diplomacy. The novel tries to justify that the external selfish interference can change a paradise-like place into a battleground butchering human beings in a very inhuman way. The novel presents Kashmir as a melting pot for all religious followers before it was intruded on by outsiders. The misuse of power by a diplomat like Max Ophuls, an American ambassador to India, causes great misfortunes in his own as well as the lives of many others. As the result of the selfish interests of the foreign countries, Kashmir becomes a battleground with mass killings, genocides, frequent rape cases, and mass exodus. This type of realistic depiction of Southeast Asia, mainly Kashmir, in the novel shows how the selfish desires of different nations create situations of chaos. The ideas that the novel uses to describe Southeast Asia, mainly Kashmir, help readers make up their minds about that area. The readers may long for harmonious relations between different nations. It happens mainly because of the literary artifact i.e. the novel that expresses cultural diplomacy. The fictional characters and the fictitious societies depicted in the novel help us understand foreign countries and foreign cultures. The reader certainly takes the novel as a work that advocates cultural harmony
People’s Participation and Rural Development: Nepal’s Case
Authors: Umesh Acharya
Published: January 2023

This paper analyzes the relationship between people’s participation and rural development taking the case of Nepal. We use secondary data from publications and research reports. The paper concludes that in developing countries like Nepal involvement of people’s participation is very important. People’s participation in Nepal is limited only for elite people but not for people from deprived communities. Though, people’s participation has increased in Nepal over the last few decades but people from backward society are not participating to the same extent of high income group which creates conflicts in society. Now government, political leaders, civil societies, development workers should look towards bringing backward communities in mainstream development activities for the betterment of them and the nation.

Combining the precise satellite positions and clocks correction with dual-frequency GNSS receiver, PPP is able to provide position solutions at centimeter- decimeter level. PPP can be regarded as a global positioning approach because its position solutions referred to a global reference frame. As a result, PPP provides much greater positioning consistency than the differential approach in which position solutions are relative to the local base station or stations. Due to this, today PPP has been the demand of large number of market.
Spectral Analysis of Worldview-2 Imagery in Detecting Invasive Plant Species (mistletoe) in Scots Pine Forest
Authors: Thapa Sunil
Published: January 2023

Mistletoe (Viscum album), a hemiparasite of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), is one of the major problems in the conservation of Scots pine forest in the Alps. The study area covered with coniferous plantation, a part of Bois Noir in the South Western French Alps is highly affected by mistletoe. Consequences of mistletoe infection include branch swelling and bending of the tree structure. The coniferous plantation in the study area, located in Bois Noir in the south-western French Alps, is experiencing an alarmingly high rate of tree mortality due to mistletoe infection. This study aims to assess the spectral distinctness of Scots pine in the presence and absence of mistletoe. For the management and minimization of biological invasion, detection and mapping plays a key role in forest conservation. Advancement of very high resolution (VHR) satellite imagery and aerial imagery with application of remote sensing and GIS technologies has shown a promising result in detecting, mapping and monitoring forest health. In this research, very high resolution satellite imagery WorldView-2 (panchromatic 0.5m and multispectral 2m) was used. Scots pine with mistletoe presence has low spectral reflectance in all bands, but NIR1, NIR2 and Red edge of WorldView-2 have higher ability to discriminate the mistletoe. Similarly, the vegetation index NDVI 2 (band combination of Red and NIR2) has the potential to discriminate the mistletoe. Detection of such biological invasions provides good information for effective conservation and better management of forests.
Die Frauen in der Gruppe 47 - Zur Bedeutung der Frauen für die Positionierung der Gruppe 47
im literarischen Feld
Authors: Lundius Wiebke
Published: January 2023

Welche Rolle spielten Frauen in der Gruppe 47? Wiebke Lundius untersucht erstmals systematisch und umfassend den Beitrag von Autorinnen, Verlegerinnen und Ehefrauen zur Etablierung der Gruppe 47 als wichtigste und innovativste literarische Instanz in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zwischen 1947 und 1967. Die erfolgreiche Positionierung der Gruppe im literarischen Feld ist auch das Verdienst von Autorinnen wie Ilse Aichinger, Ingeborg Bachmann, Gisela Elsner, Gabriele Wohmann und Helga Novak, die aus der Gruppe 47 heraus die deutsche Nachkriegsliteratur mitprägten. Ausgehend von der Habitustheorie Pierre Bourdieus zeigt Wiebke Lundius auf, wie sehr die Veränderung des zunächst rein männlich dominierten Habitus der Gruppe auf den Einfluss der Frauen zurückzuführen ist. Mit dieser detailreichen, genderbezogenen Darstellung werden auch bisher weniger beachtete Autorinnen wie Ruth Rehmann, Barbara König und Renate Rasp in ihrem literarischen Schaffen gewürdigt.

Literary Association in the Subject of Painting the Maya Dream: A Study of Literary Documents and Wall Paintings
Authors: Ilangasingha I. M. T.
Published: January 2023

After Buddha's parinirvana, the Buddha's teachings were written down in Pali. Buddhist literature has emerged from the fusion of the early Buddhist period, contemporary Brahmanism and post- Buddhist sects that later spread. The prominent subjects of Buddhist literature are the character of Buddha, Buddhist history and Jataka stories. After the Mahindagamana, Sri Lankan literary art and Wall painting were formally established with the support of the state. Buddhism was a leading proposition for the classical literature of the Anuradhapura and Polonnaru periods. Artists inspired by that literature used literary documents as motifs for murals. One of the main objectives of the research is to identify the artist's literary association and creative skills in painting the fantasy, which is an elaborate proposition in literary documents. The semantic approach was used as the philosophical communication method in the analysis of facts. In literature, an organized system of signs is built by applying literary features such as letters, words, sentences, various similes, similes. The reader perceives the idea or feeling by systematically constructing the signals obtained by reading. A set of visual images is presented to the viewer by the murals painted using the propositions of those Buddhist literary documents. They compose meanings as colors, lines, shapes as well as symbols and shapes separate from each other. It can be recognized in the observation of the paintings that the painter took the association of literary documents in the subject of painting the Maya dream. It can be concluded that different meanings are perceived by the visual signs used by the painter for the painting.

Cellular structures can be classified into foams, honeycombs, and lattice structures. Each type of structure has its characteristics. Various applications of cellular structures can be found in aviation, bioengineering, automotive, and other fields. In the automotive sector, cellular structures have been used for structural applications and impact- absorbing modules, for example, for protecting the electric vehicle battery pack against impact loading. The challenges that limit the application of cellular structures today include systematically designing pseudo-random cellular structures, assessing which cellular patterns are most suitable for a particular application, and mastery of manufacturing technology for efficient mass production of cellular structures. In this paper, the authors examine the state-of-the-art technology in geometry, applications, and manufacturing of various cellular structures carried out by researchers to obtain an overview of the current conditions for further development of these cellular structures. Limited manufacturing capabilities encourage researchers to design an optimal cellular structure to be applied to a particular function but have high manufacturability. The development of additive manufacturing technology has provided opportunities for researchers to produce an optimal cellular structure commercially soon.
JUDICIALIZAÇÃO DA SAÚDE E O FORNECIMENTO DE MEDICAMENTOS NÃO APROVADOS PELA ANVISA

Published: January 2023

A pesquisa trata da judicialização da saúde e do fornecimento de medicamentos não aprovados pela ANVISA. Demanda que cresce significativamente, provocando um elevado volume de ações judiciais. Frisa-se, nesse sentido, que o direito à saúde é ligado de forma particular à vida, cujo pressuposto está amparado pela Constituição Federal. Assim, quando se vê em situação de inércia do Estado em garantir o direito à saúde, a exemplo de fornecimento de medicamentos, o cidadão pode buscar o Poder Judiciário para a satisfação de tal direito. Cada medicamento registrado no Brasil recebe aprovação da Anvisa. A aprovação no Brasil, porém, pode demorar, por vários motivos, entre os quais o de que o pedido de registro pode ser feito muito mais tarde aqui do que em outros países. A Lei n.º 5.991/73 dispõe sobre o controle sanitário do comércio de drogas, medicamentos, insumos farmacêuticos e correlatos, e dá outras providências. Nesse enfoque, quando o remédio não é aprovado, o SUS não o disponibiliza ao paciente. Assim, resta a este a possibilidade de pleitear a aquisição do remédio em juízo.
FEATURES OF SUPPORT OF BUSINESS ENTITIES BY STATE AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES UNDER MARTIAL LAW IN UKRAINE
Authors: ULIUTINA O.
Published: January 2023

The relevance of the chosen subject is due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022, and the introduction of martial law, which has already been extended several times. In this regard, business entities require certain support measures to preserve the economic potential of the state. The purpose of the study is to review the capabilities of local self-government bodies to support small, medium, and large businesses under martial law in Ukraine. The research methods were: comparative, system-structural, and formal-legal. The results of the study determined that the state and local government bodies from the first days of the war took and continue to take organisational and legal measures to support all business entities in conducting their business on the territory of Ukraine under martial law. It was identified that the legislative and executive authorities have adopted a number of legal regulations and bylaws aimed at introducing tax benefits and compensations for the maintenance of internally displaced persons, developing mechanisms for the relocation of those business entities that do not have the physical ability to continue operating in the temporarily occupied territories or in the territories where active military operations were conducted or are being conducted. The substantial involvement of local self-government bodies (on the example of the Kyiv City Council) in the development of measures to support business entities that conduct their commercial activities in the relevant administrative-territorial unit is argued. Thus, the decisions of the Kyiv City Council introduced a number of benefits aimed at: exemption from the payment of rent of communal property by such entities, partial exemption from payment for parking, exemption from land tax and rent for land by those entities (with the list fixed by the decision of the Kyiv council) that use land plots to accommodate their premises, which are used for the needs of national resistance, protection, public order, food security. The materials of this study can be useful in the investigation of the disciplines of “Economic Law”, “Municipal Law”, “Administrative Law”.

RADAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PRECIPITATION AFFECTING THE TRACKING OF SHIP’S RADAR OBJECTS
Authors: Revenko V.Yu.
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we consider the possibility of using the radar characteristics under precipitation conditions in order to reduce the echo signal’s negative impact on the object tracking performed by the ship’s radar. Precipitation particles’ size, state (solid or liquid phase), shape, and the factors that determine their combined action play an important role in echo signal formation. The rain particles’ size in comparison with the wavelength of the ship’s radar may contribute to the creation of a larger or smaller noise echo signal on the ship’s radar display. This signal’s power in the Rayleigh scattering area towards the radar is characterized by the effective scattering area. Raindrops represent a combination of randomly located reflectors. Their scattering properties depend on spatial distribution and movement regularity. At the same time, the radar characteristics of clouds with precipitation generated by them can be used in ship radars to determine the intensity of the atmospheric process along the ship’s route. The uncertainty in determining the power attenuation of an electromagnetic wave emitted by a ship’s radar antenna and passing through the precipitation zone can be reduced by the simultaneous use of two wavelengths on which a ship’s radars operate. The presented uncertainty function characterizes a narrow-band polarized scattered signal in regard to radar information about the distance to the sea object and the scatterer's speed. It characterizes the matched multidimensional coherent filter’s properties. This filter provides optimal echo reception against the background of an uncorrelated precipitation echo signal. The matched filter belongs to the class of optimal linear filters according to the criterion of the maximum signalto-noise ratio and is the main element for radar detection devices in the ship radar, which is optimal according to the Neyman-Pearson criteria. Keywords: radar characteristics of precipitation, precipitation intensity, effective scattering area, precipitation particle diameter, dielectric constant, energy attenuation, radio waves, wavelength.
IMPROVING THE SEARCH FOR FISH ACCUMULATIONS BY MEANS OF KINEMATIC DESIGN

Published: January 2023

The article deals with sea and river commercial fisheries. It describes a possible way to increase the efficiency of the movements of fishing vessels when they are looking for accumulations (school) of fish. The improvement of the search movements of ships is based on the use of means and methods of kinematic design, which is part of modern descriptive geometry. In kinematic design, all design components are in independent spatial displacements at different speeds. In this case, the created mathematical dependencies make it possible to determine the coordinates of the spatial displacements of the design object, which here is the wanted accumulation (school) of fish. The basis of the proposed method for searching fish concentrations is the use of an additional search floating facility, such as a boat or motor boat. The fishing vessel and the auxiliary boat are equipped with search sonar equipment. A fishing vessel in the water area of the search area can drift or move at a slow speed along a given trajectory, and the search boat can accompany it and move around it along a circle of a certain radius, due to the range of the search equipment. The aim of the study was to create a methodology for increasing the efficiency of the movement of fishing vessels in search of fish concentrations. Among the main objectives of the study was the development of mathematical dependencies for determining the coordinates of the identified fish aggregations and creating a methodology for an approximate estimate of the volume of fish in its identified aggregation. The advantages of the proposed methodology for improving the search movements of fishing vessels are: - reduction of fuel consumption for the movement of the vessel in the water area of the investigated fish search area; - levelling by the kinematic design of the negative impact of false sonar signals reflected from the bottom of the reservoir. Keywords: marine fishing, fish search, sonar, sketch geometry, kinematic design, search trajectory, mathematical dependence.
SYSTEM OF AUTOMATED CONTROL OF TANKER CARGO OPERATIONS

Published: January 2023

Liquid cargo is transported by the tanker fleet in different climatic zones. Significant changes in ambient temperature are observed in these zones. At elevated temperatures, the volume of liquid cargo will increase. Consequently, there is a risk of spillage of the cargo onto the ship's deck. The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) and the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers and Terminals (ISGOTT) regulate the filling of tanks when transporting liquid cargo. It is allowed to use only 98% of the volume of tanks, the remaining 2% is a reserve of tank volume for an unforeseen increase in the volume of the cargo when its temperature rises. The sender of the cargo must provide the tanker captain with complete information about the cargo and its properties. After receiving it, download operations can begin. The intensity of cargo operations when the tanker is loaded with various types of liquid cargo has led to an increase in the role of the "human factor" in ship power systems. Reducing the number of ship crews, in turn, contributes to the accumulation of fatigue, distraction of ship operators (masters) in the process of carrying out cargo operations on the ship. Watch assistants must constantly monitor the filling level of each tank, taking into account the weight, temperature and volume of the cargo. Statistics state that a significant proportion of accidents when loading a tanker occur as a result of loss of control over the volume of liquid cargo that is taken into each tank of the vessel. The operator's lack of accurate information about the filling status of each tank at the current moment in time leads to the risk of its overflow. Such an overflow, in turn, can lead to the spillage of liquid cargo, for example, petroleum products on the ship's deck and the water surface of the port's water area. At present, it is possible to monitor the level of liquid cargo in real-time using various models of liquid cargo level gauges: float, pneumatic, ultrasonic, magnetostrictive, microwave, and others. Creating a system that would allow for constant dynamic control of the volume of liquid cargo in tanks during tanker loading and would take into account all restrictions is a promising direction. Keywords: liquid cargo, tanker, level gauges, safety margin, loading control.

Despite the advancement in prevention and treatment against infection, osteomyelitis has always remained a challenge for an orthopedic surgeon. Although this problem is more prevalent in developing countries rather than developed countries, still it cannot be overlooked. That's why we have aimed this case study to consider the therapeutic plan and techniques used for the treatment of osteomyelitis. A 67 years old male was presented in a local public hospital of Islamabad, Pakistan with severe pain in right lateral thigh unable to move hip and knee joint and swelling. Emergency treatment included diclofenac. X-rays result showed fracture of right femur. Cultures DHS fixation (Dynamic Hip Screw fixation) was done, pus was drained and culture reports indicated Staphylococcus areas that was sensitive to Cefotaxime. The therapy plan included antibiotics along with pain killers, but the infection was not treated. Beside x-ray. Finally this infection was treated using antibiotics beading technique.

Published: January 2023

Since as a hegemon, the US has dominated the world through its unilateral policies and put diverse effects on different regions. Since 2001, China is emerging as a powerful country on the world stage and increasing its influence in its neighbourhood, especially in South Asia, under Belt and Road Initiative. In South Asia, the US is exploiting Indian skepticism about Chinses policies to get its support against China. The Sino-US new Cold War is on the brink, and South Asia is a potential theatre. The competition has created a precarious situation for Pakistan, and it had to pick options with great care. This paper aims to analyze the US and China's policies in the economic, military and political spheres in South Asia and how their competition or cooperation will affect the region's stability, security, the balance of power and how it will affect Pakistan's policy options.
