Political Regime Types and Income Inequality in Pakistan
Authors: Hamdard Wasiq Ullah , Stanikzai Irfan Ullah
Published: February 2024

Rising income inequality is one of the major issues in the Pakistani economy. It has been investigated in different dimensions. Different cross-sectional and panel studies have extensively examined the connection between political regime types and income inequality over a specific period. The findings have displayed significant variations across countries and regions. This study delves into exploring the relationship between political regime types and income inequality, specifically in Pakistan, utilizing time series data spanning from 1972 to 2019. To measure political regime types, the Polity index is employed, while the Gini-Coefficient serves as the metric for income inequality. Additionally, this research takes into account various factors, such as GDP per capita, the ratio of direct taxes to GDP, the percentage of government expenditure on education relative to GDP, and the percentage of government expenditure on community and social services relative to GDP, in order to control for their direct effects. The stationarity of the data is assessed using the augmented Dickey-Fuller test, while the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model is employed to examine the cointegrating relationship among the variables in the model. The empirical findings from the estimation affirm the presence of a lasting correlation between Pakistan's political regime types and wealth disparities. The findings show that different political regimes have a notable detrimental effect on the nation's economic disparity. To be more precise, a one percent increase in the Polity score is associated with a 0.45 percent long-term and a 0.25 percent short-term fall in the Gini Coefficient. This suggests that Pakistan should work toward a stable democratic political framework and put into place sustainable economic policies in order to successfully address income disparity and achieve a desirable level of income distribution

A Pragma-Stylistic Analysis of Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Inaugural Speech
Authors: Franck Amoussou  , Ayodele Adebayo Allagbe  , Coffi Martinien Zounhin Toboula
Published: February 2024

This paper sets out to look into some pragmatic and stylistic resources deployed in the Nigeria’s newly elected president’s, Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s, inaugural speech. Drawing its theoretical underpinnings from pragma-stylistics propounded by Black (2006), it specifically seeks to examine such features as speech acts, tenses, deictic expressions, and tropes encoded in the speech. The findings arrived at reveal that the aforementioned politician employs four out of the five illocutionary acts (representatives, expressives, commissives, and directives) in varying proportions. They also disclose that the simple present, present perfect, simple past, simple future and imperative are the tenses deliberately deployed in the discourse. It is inferred from the foregoing that in his choice of discursive patterns, Tinubu plainly focuses on the socio-political, socio-economic and geo-political context to manipulate linguistic resources for ideological purposes in order to (i) restore Nigerians’ trust and faith in his forthcoming governance, (ii) persuade the audience, and overall (iii) manage his message for effective communication.

Authors: Khagendra Baraily
Published: February 2024

Integrated schools with resource classes and special schools provide education for children with disability in Nepal. Government funds and the partial support of national and internal donor partners run these schools. This study intends to seek how children with disability normalize in regular classes after the additional support service in resource class to become a case of inclusion in the education system of Nepal. The study explored the adjustment challenges and identified coping strategies in a regular course. The four students with disability from integrated schools representing children with visual impairment and children with deaf were purposively selected and interviewed through semi-structured interview guidelines in a natural setting. The interview responses were transcribed verbatim and analyzed by extracting themes within a theoretical framework based on post-structuralism and discourse analysis. More than five themes were identified from the discussion of students' reports regarding adjustment challenges in the students' narratives. The study explored significant challenges such as the lack of disabled-friendly physical facilities, domination of traditional methods, presence of an untrained teacher, lack of expanded core curriculum, lack of peer support and poor psychological attachment. The exploration of challenges assists policymakers and well educators set up strategies for effective inclusion in school education and the community. The extreme mitigation of challenges promotes an inclusive atmosphere in regular classrooms.

Authors: Poullard, DNP, MSN, APRN-BC Anna , Charles, MS, FNP-BC Sheena
Published: February 2024

The primary objectives of early phase clinical trials are to determine the safety, tolerability, and recommended doses of an investigational agent for patients with advanced cancer. Although these advances in cancer treatment have resulted in patients living longer, patients often experience psychological side effects that may affect sexual health and intimacy. It is estimated that cancer and its subsequent treatments affect the sexual health and intimacy of 40% to 100% of this patient population. Patients with advanced cancer who have undergone numerous treatments may be impacted negatively, not only physically (such as being disfigured by surgical resection) but also emotionally in relationship aspects with their intimate partners. Health-care providers who treat patients with advanced cancer enrolled in early phase clinical trials tend to focus primarily on treatment, physical side effects, and symptom management. Advanced practice providers (APPs) are accustomed to performing comprehensive physical examinations on patients; however, research indicates that intimacy and sexuality are most often excluded in discussions with patients with advanced cancer. The purpose of the article is to increase awareness of the need to address intimacy and sexuality in this patient population and to encourage APPs to make this a part of their everyday practice.

La anomia en el cine
Authors: Lanzillota Fabricio A. , Morales Zorich Rodrigo
Published: February 2024

El cine, más allá de resultar una representación artística, en muchos casos transmite conocimientos jurídicos bajo formas no convencionales, oficiando de puente entre el Derecho y la sociedad. América Latina, durante el siglo XX, fue centro de opresión mediante distintas dictaduras que afectaron a varios países, situación que el séptimo arte ha retratado con regularidad. Esta investigación pretende analizar la anomia mediante el estudio de dos piezas cinematográficas que se encuentran situadas en ese siglo. A partir de allí, se repasa el concepto en dos películas argentinas premiadas internacionalmente en el siglo XXI: El secreto de sus ojos y Argentina, 1985, que permiten tener una visión actual de dicho concepto.

Authors: Taheri Mohammad Ali , Payervand Firouz , Ahmadkhanlou Farzad , Torabi Sara , Semsarha Farid
Published: February 2024

Water, as the most abundant molecule on Earth's surface and a vital component of living organisms, has always been the subject of investigation and analysis in the scientific community regarding its physicochemical properties and changes resulting from environmental variables. In previous studies on the effects of T-Consciousness Fields, changes in the pH and temperature of water as a result of exposure to these fields have been investigated. In this study, in addition to these two parameters, changes in the electrical conductivity of water molecules under the influence of T-Consciousness Field 2 have been examined, with the aim of finding a parameter of water that is more sensitive and responsive to T-Consciousness Fields. According to the results of this research throughout 8, 24, and 48 hours, changes in pH in the sample and control groups showed an increase, and temperature changes showed a decrease. Furthermore, changes in the electrical conductivity of water under the influence of T-Consciousness Field 2 were significant. To complement the current study, the examination of the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases in pure water under the exposure of T-Consciousness Field 2 is on the agenda of the authors.
The Lost World of Rani Jindan: Rewriting Women’s History in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s the Last Queen
Authors: Saraswat Surbhi
Published: February 2024

The paper aims to look at the politics of representation and the importance of historical fiction in renegotiating women’s position in history by focusing on the representation of Rani Jindan Kaur in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Last Queen (2021). The book is written from Rani Jindan Kaur’s perspective who was the last wife of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the last regent queen of the Sikh Empire to reclaim her lost identity. This analysis begins with a brief description of Sikh empire and its glorious past with a special focus on a woman who equally contributed and shaped it. It then traces how historians have always been partial towards women for not giving them enough space in the annals of history. This underrepresentation was the systematic erasure as not only were they punished for stepping outside the limited roles offered to them but if they achieve great things they were often ignored or forced to submit to the prevailing gender norms of their times. It then focuses on how Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has used the erasure of women representation in history as a winning chance to rewrite the lost world of Rani Jindan that is not much talked about in historical documents. It further points out how this systemic bias has perpetuated a skewed historical narrative that failed to recognize the full extent of women's contributions and resilience throughout history.

Published: February 2024

Background: Preoperative fasting is a procedural measure implemented before surgery or anesthesia to avert regurgitation or vomiting. PONV incidence is influenced by surgical, anesthetic, and patient-related factors. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the duration of preoperative fasting observed by participants and the prevalence of PONV according to personality traits. Purpose: Determine the correlation between the duration of preoperative fasting and the occurrence of PONV in patients undergoing general anesthesia at RSUD Dr. Soekardjo Tasikmalaya. Methods:  Observatory, descriptive, and cross-sectional designs are utilized. The sampling method was with sixty respondents ranging in age from seventeen to forty-five years, ASA I to II. Data is collected via observation and evaluation. Findings: The study observed that among 37 individuals (61.7%), preoperative fasting for 6-8 hours was beneficial, while for 23 individuals (38.3%), fasting for >8 hours were detrimental. At the age of 17-25 years, 10 individuals (47.6%) develop PONV, while 11 individuals (52.4%) do so between the ages of 26-45. Among women, 17 individuals (81.0%) have PONV, while 20 individuals (95.2%) have ASA I physical status, and 1 individual (4.8%) has ASA II physical status. Conclusion: There is a significant link (p < 0.013) between preoperative fasting time and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients under general anesthesia. Fasting before surgery should be long enough to avoid PONV

Background: Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH) is commonly defined as a blood loss of 500 ml or more within 24 hours after birth. PPH is the leading cause of maternal mortality in low-income countries and the primary cause of nearly one quarter of all maternal deaths globally.
The aim: This study aims to show about misoprostol as prevention of postpartum hemorrhage.
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SagePub, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 23 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 39 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 13 articles for PubMed and 27 articles for SagePub. The result from title screening, a total 5 articles for PubMed and 14 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 10 papers. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: Other injectable uterotonics and misoprostol are recommended as alternatives for the prevention of PPH in settings where oxytocin is unavailable.
LOS ALCANCES DE LA LEGISLACIÓN LABORAL ARGENTINA EN EL PERONISMO CLÁSICO. UNA MIRADA DESDE LOS ESTRADOS JUDICIALES
Authors: Mellado Virginia
Published: February 2024

El trabajo tiene por objetivo general exhibir, a través de casos judiciales provenientes de una provincia argentina, Mendoza, los alcances que tuvo la legislación peronista vinculada al derecho laboral luego de 1946 en distintas ramas de actividad, el “acatamiento” que exhibieron diferentes actores sociales a las nuevas reglas de juego, y revelar el papel que cumplió la “judicialización” en la actualización de la protección social y la conquista de derechos. Con ello se busca ofrecer una mirada más atenta a las marchas y contramarchas que exhibió el proceso de instalación de la protección social vinculada al trabajo en Argentina, donde la fragmentación institucional -ejemplificada en la instalación de tribunales de trabajo provinciales-, la configuración de los actores y su relación con el gobierno, jugaron papeles fundamentales. Para alcanzar estos objetivos se han utilizado expedientes y sentencias judiciales, al igual que revistas jurídicas y prensa. Las fuentes han sido trabajadas desde una perspectiva etnográfica, a partir de la descripción densa de su contenido y su contexto de producción.

Chinese herbal medicine treatment in five mild COVID-19 cases: South African case studies
Authors:   University Of Johannesburg, South Africa, Hu Zijing , Zhang Jie ,   Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, China
Published: February 2024

In December 2019, the initial reports of a novel coronavirus epidemic emerged in China. Despite South Africa demonstrating determined political efforts to handle the outbreak within its borders, there is currently no established effective treatment for mild cases. The sharing of clinical experiences could prove beneficial in managing emerging infectious diseases. Given the successful management of COVID-19 in China, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) might present a potential solution for mild cases in South Africa, potentially lowering the likelihood of mild cases progressing to severe stages and expediting the recovery process. Data were retrieved from an identified clinic in South Africa between 12 June 2020 to 26 June 2020. All cases were consulted under the regulation of telehealth and telemedicine by using online video consultation. It can be inferred that TCM is efficacious in hastening the recovery process and diminishing the instances of mild cases progressing to severe stages. The utilisation of Chinese herbal medicine proves applicable in treating mild cases of COVID-19, irrespective of variations in geography, climate, and racial factors. This study was constrained in its examination of patients from a single clinic, lacking a comparative aspect. It is advisable that future studies be conducted in more extensive settings to provide a broader perspective.
