The Culture of Emergency Department in a Public Hospital
Authors: Rabbiyah  , Zeeshan Mahwish
Published: February 2021

The research revolves around the culture of emergency department. Hospital emergency departments make a distinctive subculture inside the healthcare, in an atmosphere of social interaction and variation. Every organization can create its own values. Hospitals or other primary care centers having emergency departments usually. Initially, the emergency room was planned as a treatment room for emergency cases such as road accident cases or other acute conditions in which life is on risk. This department later specialized in the treatment of emergency cases which were presented with no consultation, by an emergency vehicle or any transport available at that time. It was taken place in the Emergency department of Tehsil Headquarter Hospital Pind Dadan Khan. The patients were interviewed regarding their experience, their time of arrival, the medical personnel who received them and their satisfaction level with the provided treatment and care. The other method which was used is participant as observer. The most consistently observed finding associated with higher levels of satisfaction, was the patient-oriented care provided by doctors, nurses and paramedic staff. Doctors and nurses who spent more time with the patient, had better communication skills, showed more empathy and treated the patients within 5 minutes of arrival in the emergency resulted in more patient satisfaction. On the basis of these characteristics, the calculated number of satisfied patients turned was more than the patients who were not satisfied. However, major emergency patients responded that they would not prefer emergency departments of public sector hospitals of Tehsil Pind Dadan Khan for future because major emergency services were not available.

Published: February 2021

The current study is an exploratory study of Pakistan's print media to understand its role in the promotion of Human rights as their promotion is the basic duty of every state as per the United Nations agenda. It is the content analysis of four national dailies, both Urdu and English. Study finds out that there is no significant difference among both types of papers in publishing news regarding Human Rights. But Urdu papers published more news about Human Rights as compare to English Dailies. Both type of newspapers mostly published news about loss & damages and the statements. Pakistani press is not conscious about the United Nations Agenda of "Promotion of Human Rights is the responsibility of the states" and publishes the news about incidents objectively. Professional journalists should differentiate between the “Human right journalism and human wrong journalism".
Student's Risk Perception and Attitude towards Drug Abuse in Educational Institutions of Pakistan
Authors: Shah Rahat , Sabir Imran , Khan Saba Aslam
Published: February 2021

The current study aimed at exploring the attitude and risk perception of the students towards drug abuse. It was conducted through a quantitative survey technique in the educational institutions (Schools, Colleges and Universities) of four metropolitan cities of Pakistan. The sample size for the survey was 4997 students, using a multistage cluster sampling technique. The study found that although a majority (79%) of the students has a negative attitude towards the use of drugs, and consider its consumption as risky (poor health, lack of sleep, physical weakness, low academic performance, family conflicts and involvement in crimes), yet every fifth of the students is vulnerable to become a drug addict, as 21 percent of the respondent’s regard drug consumption as a risk-free activity. Conclusively, findings of the study, even though limited in the scope, are important to understand adolescent behaviour to ascertain the direction of future public policy on drug abuse in Pakistan.

The African-American Poets' Struggle for the Rights of People: A Study in Claude McKay's Selected Poems
Authors:   College of Languages, Salahaddin University, Mustafa Hameed Abdullah , Barzani Sherzad Shafi'h
Published: February 2021

This study scrutinizes selected protest poems written by the prominent black poet of the Harlem Renaissance Claude McKay (1889-1948). McKay is considered as a key literary figure of the Negro movement who played a significant role in struggling for and awakening his own people to demand their rights. His major aspiration was to end all forms of prejudice and oppression against blacks portrayed in his poems during the most effective movement in African American literary history comprising the times between 1920 to almost the mid-1930s. McKay established himself as a powerful literary voice for social justice during the Harlem Renaissance constantly struggling for people's identity and rights against the widespread prejudice, segregation, and racism against blacks in America and worldwide along with his pride in his black race and culture. These central issues had different impacts on the Harlem Renaissance and on the lives and works of those who participated in that movement; depicting how both race and racism could deﬁne the African American experience in the early twentieth century, as well. McKay, skillfully combined traditional forms and political protest in many of his sonnets. He took the old poetic genre and made it new and relevant to his own project by examining within its bounds unconventional and contemporary subjects. Along with his poetic diction and imagery, he juxtaposes contrasting images to show the hypocritic nature of America, showing his inevitable faith in the country. McKay's enthusiasm for and belief in the authority of intellectuals was strengthened by his understanding of America's deep-rooted racism. He closes many of his sonnets with gloomy observations of blacks' sufferings. The clear conclusion of his struggle was the fact that negro writers succeeded in showcasing the sufferings of people, incited blacks to demand their legal rights, and proved they are capable of everything and as genius as whites. Keywords: McKay, Struggles, Racism, identity, prejudice, rights.

Right to Self-determination: Iraqi Kurdistan Region and Kosovo as A Case Study
Authors:   Faculty of Law, Political Science and Management, Soran University, Qader Sanh Shareef
Published: February 2021

The Iraqi Kurdistan region and Kosovo have their own struggles in exercising their right to self-determination. Both regions became victims as a result of trying to achieve independence. However, Kosovo's independence was successful, while the Kurdistan region's attempt for independence was not. It must be assumed that there must be reasons for the failure of independence in the Iraqi Kurdistan region, as well as Kosovo's successful independence. The international community's interests, in both cases, have to be explored as well. In other words, what are the reasons for the failure of the Kurdistan region's independence and the success of Kosovo independence? Further, this paper aims at defining self-determination and then providing a historical review of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, Kosovo's struggle for achieving the right to self-determination, and also a precise analysis of both cases. The methodology used in this paper is pure library research; focusing mainly on secondary sources. This paper legally recommends that the KRG must try to negotiate with the Iraqi federal government following a bilateral agreement under the supervision of international mediation whereby the Kurdistan region can have the right to secede when a constitutional violation is taken place by the federal government. Kurdistan region must review its relations with all international actors, which play a main role in the Middle East and make a lobby group by including separatists groups and other Kurds who live abroad to gather support for its independence in the future. Keywords: Self-Determination, Kurdish Autonomy, Iraqi Kurdistan Region, Kosovo and Serbia, International Community.

Published: February 2021

The relation between the U.S and Kurds has always been problematic. The main question of this study is to address what type of relations are between KRG and U.S? Is there a specific U.S policy towards KRG? To answer these questions, we have depended on the theory of Structural Realism, especially the concept of Offensive Realism which has been developed by John Mearsheimer on the one hand, and the English school on the other hand. Offensive realism can be helpful to understand the behaviour of great powers, such as the U.S., and English school to understand international community and international order. It has been concluded that, so far there is no direct U.S policy or strategy towards the KRG. The U.S interaction with the KRG has always been identified by specific interested and indirect (third) issue. Therefore, it is important to know that the U.S- KRG relation throughout its history has always been linked to another issue, especially the domestic changes in Iraq and regional developments in the Levan and Persian Gulf. The U.S has always followed its realistic approach in its relations with KRG, in particular in protecting the regional state system and international order.

The incidence of Multiple myeloma (MM) increases with age; two-thirds of the patients are older than 65 years. Induction treatment, including new agents such as thalidomide, bortezomib, and lenalidomide followed by a conditioning regimen and upfront autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), has been accepted the standard treatment approach for newly diagnosed fit MM patients. We aimed to search the real-life data, the efficacy and safety of upfront ASCT following induction in patients with MM over 60 years old retrospectively. The data of MM patients who were ≥60 years old during autologous stem cell transplantation and treated at our center between 2010 and 2018 retrospectively analyzed. The study results were 63 patients included at the age of ≥ 60 years who underwent upfront ASCT. Median PFS was 15.5±2.6 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 28.15±5 months. According to age groups, median PFS was 12±2.3 months in the 60-64 age group, 18.4±6 months in the 65-69 age group, and 26±15 months in the ≥70 age group. Median OS was 26.5±6.1 months in the 60-64 age group, 39.66±8.9 months in the 65-69 age group, and 18 months in the ≥70 age group. A significant relationship between the quantity of infused CD34+ stem cells and PFS and OS (p:0.05 and p<0.00, respectively). Our study indicated that a high dose (200 mg/m2 ) melphalan could safely be used in the physically fit patients at the ages of 60-69, and a reduced amount (140 mg/m2 ) would be the appropriate dose for the patients over 70. The quantity of infused CD34+ stem cells affect elderly MM patients; mobilization dynamics are also important factors for elderly myeloma. Age itself should not consider a barrier to ASCT, and a comprehensive geriatric evaluation should perform on elderly patients

Chapter 2. CNF Encodings
Authors: Prestwich Steven
Published: February 2021

Before a combinatorial problem can be solved by current SAT methods, it must usually be encoded in conjunctive normal form, which facilitates algorithm implementation and allows a common file format for problems. Unfortunately there are several ways of encoding most problems and few guidelines on how to choose among them, yet the choice of encoding can be as important as the choice of search algorithm. This chapter reviews theoretical and empirical work on encoding methods, including the use of Tseitin encodings, the encoding of extensional and intensional constraints, the interaction between encodings and search algorithms, and some common sources of error. Case studies are used for illustration.
Chapter 7. Proof Complexity and SAT Solving
Authors: Buss Sam , Nordström Jakob
Published: February 2021

This chapter gives an overview of proof complexity and connections to SAT solving, focusing on proof systems such as resolution, Nullstellensatz, polynomial calculus, and cutting planes (corresponding to conflict-driven clause learning, algebraic approaches using linear algebra or Gröbner bases, and pseudo-Boolean solving, respectively). There is also a discussion of extended resolution (which is closely related to DRAT proof logging) and Frege and extended Frege systems more generally. An ample supply of references for further reading is provided, including for some topics omitted in this chapter.
Chapter 13. Symmetry and Satisfiability
Authors: Sakallah Karem A.
Published: February 2021

Symmetry is at once a familiar concept (we recognize it when we see it!) and a profoundly deep mathematical subject. At its most basic, a symmetry is some transformation of an object that leaves the object (or some aspect of the object) unchanged. For example, a square can be transformed in eight different ways that leave it looking exactly the same: the identity “do-nothing” transformation, 3 rotations, and 4 mirror images (or reflections). In the context of decision problems, the presence of symmetries in a problem’s search space can frustrate the hunt for a solution by forcing a search algorithm to fruitlessly explore symmetric subspaces that do not contain solutions. Recognizing that such symmetries exist, we can direct a search algorithm to look for solutions only in non-symmetric parts of the search space. In many cases, this can lead to significant pruning of the search space and yield solutions to problems which are otherwise intractable. This chapter explores the symmetries of Boolean functions, particularly the symmetries of their conjunctive normal form (CNF) representations. Specifically, it examines what those symmetries are, how to model them using the mathematical language of group theory, how to derive them from a CNF formula, and how to utilize them to speed up CNF SAT solvers.
Chapter 29. Theory of Quantified Boolean Formulas
Authors: Kleine Büning Hans , Bubeck Uwe
Published: February 2021

Quantified Boolean formulas (QBF) are a generalization of propositional formulas by allowing universal and existential quantifiers over variables. This enhancement makes QBF a concise and natural modeling language in which problems from many areas, such as planning, scheduling or verification, can often be encoded in a more compact way than with propositional formulas. We introduce in this chapter the syntax and semantics of QBF and present fundamental concepts. This includes normal form transformations and Q-resolution, an extension of the propositional resolution calculus. In addition, Boolean function models are introduced to describe the valuation of formulas and the behavior of the quantifiers. We also discuss the expressive power of QBF and provide an overview of important complexity results. These illustrate that the greater capabilities of QBF lead to more complex problems, which makes it interesting to consider suitable subclasses of QBF. In particular, we give a detailed look at quantified Horn formulas (QHORN) and quantified 2-CNF (Q2-CNF).
Perceptual learning improves visual functions in patients with albinistic bilateral amblyopia: A pilot study
Authors: Battaglini Luca , Oletto Carolina Maria , Contemori Giulio , Barollo Michele , Ciavarelli Ambra , Casco Clara
Published: February 2021

Background:

Several visual functions are impaired in patients with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) associated to albinistic bilateral amblyopia (ABA).

Objective:

In this study, we aimed at exploring whether perceptual learning (PL) can improve visual functions in albinism.

Method:

Six patients and six normal sighted controls, were trained in a contrast detection task with lateral masking. Participants were asked to choose which of the two intervals contained a foveally presented low-contrast Gabor patch. Targets were presented between higher contrast collinear flankers with equal spatial frequency. When increasing target-to-flanker distance, lateral interactions effect normally switches from inhibition to facilitation, up to no effect.

Results:

Our findings showed that before PL, only controls showed facilitation. After PL, results suggest that facilitatory lateral interactions are found both in controls as well as in albino patients. These results suggest that PL could induce higher processing efficiency at early cortical level. Moreover, PL positive effect seems to transfer to higher-level visual functions, but results were not very consistent among tasks (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity function, hyperacuity and foveal crowding).

Conclusions:

Although a small sample size was tested, our findings suggest a rehabilitative potential of PL in improving visual functions in albinism.

Authors: Jones Richard L. , Duryea Mary , Treat Berry J.
Published: February 2021

New plants developed at the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station (FAES) have been vital to the state’s agricultural industries and to consumers here and throughout the country and the world. New crop varieties are developed through research led and conducted by plant breeders with cooperation from scientists in other agricultural disciplines. These varieties may have higher yield; they may be more resistant to pests, or they may be healthier for consumers. Almost every crop variety grown in Florida came from plant breeding programs atFAES. This document is part of Circular 1440, a publication of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, the Agronomy Department and IFAS Communication Services, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Published: February 2021

Peach, nectarine, plum, apricot and cherry are called stone fruit because of their central hard pit. Because of Florida’s warm climate, breeding programs for stone fruit have focused on developing “low-chill” varieties –those that can grow and produce fruit with very few hours of chilling or cold weather in the winter. Florida’s low-chill stone fruit breeding program was initiated in the early 1950s and has succeeded thanks to two plant breeders, Ralph Sharpe and Wayne Sherman. This document is part of Circular 1440, a publication of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, the Agronomy Department and IFAS Communication Services, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Published: February 2021

Blossom-end clearing (BEC) is characterized by the translucent, watersoaked appearance of the fruit peel (most commonly at the blossom end) caused by internal bruising and juice leakage from juice vesicles. Juice vesicles in the bruised areas usually have a gray tinge compared with unbruised tissue, and BEC-affected fruit develop offflavors. BEC is visible within 24 hours after bruising (often much earlier) and can affect up to 90% of the fruit in some loads. Decay, in particular mold, often develops in areas with BEC symptoms. BEC has also been referred as “wet bottoms,” “stylar-end clearing,” “water bottom,” “waterlog,” and “wet wick.” This document is HS937, one of a series of the Horticultural Sciences Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Ranching is important to Florida's economy and environment. Of Florida's 34.5-plus million acres of land, 10.2 million acres were utilized for farmland in 2003, with the majority partially or totally used for cattle production.

Development of global health in the context of world policy in the XXI century
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Karpenko A.M.
Published: February 2021

. In the article, the author emphasizes that among the global problems of our time, the problem of protecting and promoting human health occupies an important place, since, on the one hand, it is one of the oldest problems that man has faced since the very beginning of his existence, and on the other hand, this problem is of paramount importance in comparison with the rest, since it is directly related to the life of the entire human race. In other words, we are talking about the main human value – human life. The author claims in the article that modern global problems are mostly a threat to the health of the population of our planet. As a result, the world community in the twenty-first century faces the urgent task of creating and strengthening a global security system, taking into account new dimensions of security and a key priority for human health and safety. Therefore, in order to analyze the concept of «global health», it is important to study the term itself in the context of modern world policy concepts. The author analyzes the political concept of «global health», studying the evolution of its formation and assesses the dynamics of various factors of its past and present state.
On the perspective of a comparative study of instrumental traditions of Turkic peoples (in terms of the typology of musical cultures)
Authors:   T. Zhurgenov Kazakh National Academy of Arts,, Omarova G.N.
Published: February 2021

The article raises issues of ethno-cultural parallels that are identified in the field of musical art of Turkic and, more broadly, Central Asian peoples. Based on the position on different levels of commonness of ethnic cultures and using the methods of comparative historical and comparative typological research, the author, using the example of 2-string bow instruments with hair strings and some features of the musical thinking of the “Eastern” and “Western” Türks, actualizes the typology of musical cultures of the peoples of Central Asia. It is concluded that in the regional traditions of kobyz and dombra music (tоkpe and shertpe), one can observe a symbiosis of different historical and cultural traditions. They were reflected not only in instrumentation and musical stylistics, but also in the different types of musical thinking characteristic of the “East Turkic” and “West Turkic” cultural systems. According to the author, a comprehensive study of the musical cultures of Central Asia, as well as their cross-cultural studies, will reveal both the cultural typology and the unity of the TurkicMongolian-Iranian culture of this area.

A Protestáns etika kémiája
Authors: Kollár Dávid
Published: February 2021

A dolgozat célja, hogy az új fordítás egyetlen – ámbár döntően meghatározó – momentumát kiemelve mutassam be a Weber által prezentált argumentum egy lehetséges interpretációját, amely olvasatom szerint alapvető implikációkat rögzít a társadalomtudományi gondolkodás számára. Ezzel összhangban tanulmányomban a következőképpen járok el: először röviden vázolom a Protestáns etika argumentumának gerincét, majd pedig az affinitás fogalmán keresztül mutatom be, miként illeszthető be a kurrens társadalomtudományos megközelítések egyik meghatározó vonulatába.
A szexuális forradalom politikai gazdaságtana : „Vaginális orgazmus”, pornó és homofóbia a modern világrendszerben
Authors: Csányi Gergely
Published: February 2021

E tanulmányban megkérdőjelezem azokat a társadalomtudományban és a liberális értelmiségi nyilvánosságban elterjedt nézeteket, melyek szerint a modern szexuális kapcsolatokat a heteronormativitás, a patriarchális viszonyok, a premodern tradíciók és az osztályexkluzivitás alól való felszabadulás jellemzi. Amellett érvelek, hogy a modern tőkés világrendszer különböző módokon igazítja magához az emberi test szexuális potenciálját és kapcsolja saját hierarchikus cselekvési rendszerébe a szexuális kapcsolatokat. E szempontból a szexuális forradalomnak nevezett társadalmi folyamat legfontosabb szegmense a test szexuális potenciáljának bekapcsolása a fordista termelés által kitágított piacba. Továbbá a szexualitás különböző ideológiáinak ellentéte nem a premodern maradványok és a modernitás ellentétei, hanem a modern világrendszer rendszerszintű ellentmondásainak kifejeződései.
A patriarchátus elbeszélhetetlensége : A távolság szerepe a prostitúciós iparban használt és a prostitúciós iparból kiszállt nők traumanarratíváiban
Authors: Dés Fanni
Published: February 2021

Tanulmányomban a prostitúciós iparban használt és a prostitúciós iparból kiszállt nők erőszakról és traumáról szóló elbeszéléseit vizsgálom, az élményekhez való időbeli, térbeli és érzelmi közelség és távolság kontextusában. A két csoport elbeszélései a prostitúciós iparban szerzett tapasztalatokról, az iparban ellenük elkövetett erőszakról, traumáról és a prostitúciós ipar természetéről szignifikánsan különböznek. A narratívákban fellelhető különbségeket párhuzamba állítom a trauma természetével és az időbeli, térbeli és érzelmi távolsággal a nők elleni erőszak jelenségétől elválaszthatatlan prostitúciós ipartól. Az interjúalanyaim narratíváiban felelhető különbségeken keresztül vizsgálom azt, hogyan válik legitimmé társadalmi szinten, hogy a nők általában, de a gazdaságilag kiszolgáltatott nők még nagyobb eséllyel, szisztematikusan és következmények nélkül ki legyenek téve a patriarchális erőszaknak a tőkés világrendszerbe ágyazódó prostitúciós iparban. További célom az, hogy a feminista empirizmus mentén a tanulmányban láthatóvá tegyem a nők láthatatlan élményeit az erőszakról és az erőszak által okozott traumákról.
