US-Iran Tensions and Instability in Iraq: Role of the Popular Mobilisation Units
Authors: Fatima Raza
Published: April 2022

Popular Mobilisation Units (PMU) is the largest umbrella organisation in Iraq encompassing more than 40 of these paramilitary forces with many of them having deep ties with Iran. Recent killing of the PMU leader Abu Mahdi al Muhandis along with his ally, the Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in a US drone strike concurred a huge loss for Iran and the PMU who had long enjoyed cooperation and influence within Iraq. The PMU, in the absence of its trusted leadership; is predicted to fall apart from within causing instability in Iraq which has been brought about by reckless war-mongering between the US and Iran. This research explores the strategic culture, structure and the role of PMU in bringing about stability in Iraq in the backdrop of continuous deteriorating Iran-US relations. This research argues that in order to make the PMU effective in cultivating peace in Iraq; it would be wise for important stakeholders like Iran and the US to understand its strategic culture and formulate their respective Iraq policies accordingly.
Trump Administration’s Strategic Perspective about CPEC
Authors: Zhao Leibin and Zafar Nawaz Jaspal
Published: April 2022

The American geopolitical analysts perceive the steady rise of China as a strategic competitor and challenger to the United States’ sole superpower stature in the twenty-first century. The vibrance of the United States (US) economy is on the wane as the Belt and Road Initiative of China is heralded as a vision of shared prosperity. Therefore, Trump administration adopted a hostile-cum-containment foreign policy posture towards China. The main fear of the administration was that China could transform the prevalent global geopolitical order to its advantage. Therefore, the administration constructed and publicised the anti-China narrative internally and externally which seems detrimental to Pakistan’s geoeconomic pursuits through CPEC. Besides, Washington’s reservation over the CPEC undermines Pakistan-US strategic cooperation. The study systematically analyses how the US ruling elite, academia and media constructs, shapes, and rebuilds anti-China and CPEC narratives to pursue their geopolitical objectives during the Trump administration.
Impact of India’s ISR Capabilities on South Asian Security Dynamics
Authors: Author Amjad Mahmood and Adil Sultan
Published: April 2022

Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities have grown exponentially over the past two decades. Almost all major powers are building their ISR potential for commercial and military purposes which has provided incentive for the other emerging powers such as India to follow suit and develop its own cross-domain ISR network. This is likely to adversely impact South Asian security environment where India and Pakistan, the two nuclear armed states, remain embroiled in a military competition and have experienced several serious military crises over the past many years. Acquisition of new ISR technologies could also provide incentive to India to exploit its apparent conventional military advantage against Pakistan and venture into a limited armed conflict in pursuit of its political objectives under a nuclear overhang. Owing to a long history of distrust such an attempt could quickly escalate conflict with the possibility of an all-out war including the potential for a nuclear exchange. This paper aims to discuss India’s ambitious plan to upgrade its ISR capabilities in all the four domains of warfare, i.e. space, land, sea and air; the evolving India-US cooperation in sharing of data and its implications for Pakistan.

Published: April 2022

Present studies were conducted to perform thermogravimetric characterization and biological activity investigations of organotin dithiocarbamates of general formulae R3SnL (R = n-Bu, 1; Ph, 2; Cy, 3), R2Sn(Cl)L (R = Me, 4; Ph, 5) and R2SnL2 (R = Me, 6) where L = 4-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-1-carbodithioate. A novel procedure was also developed for the synthesis of product 2 by direct reflux of 4-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine-1-carbodithioic acid (HL) with triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide. HL was decomposed at low temperatures as compared to the metal complexes. The coordinated products were degraded leaving behind the tin or SnOCl inorganic residues. The products1-6 have shown excellent antimicrobial activities against the tested bacterial (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis) and fungal (Fusarium solani, Aspergillus niger, Alternaria solani, and Fusarium verticillioides) strains. The biological activities were found to depend upon the substitution pattern at the central tin atom.

Published: April 2022

The decreased soil structural stability with a resultant reduction in soil porosity, availability of water and nutrients has declined the crop yield. Compost, wheat straw and sawdust, the organic wastes can be effectively used as soil amendments to improve soil structure, porosity and water holding capacity and the crop yield. The study was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) and three types of amendments i.e. compost (CM), wheat straw (WS) and sawdust (SD) were applied at three rates of 0, 4 and 8 t ha-1. The higher sorghum growth was at 8 t ha-1, however, 4 t ha-1 also indicated statistically comparable trend. The highest grain yield of 1357 kg ha-1 and 1374 kg ha-1 was observed in amended soils and type of amendments showed statistically (P≤ 0.05) similar yield. The water contents at field capacity (35.4 %), wilting point (22.5 %) and plant available water (13.25 %) were higher in WS 8 t ha-1 amendment. The higher soil structure stability of 90.78 % was observed in WS with rates of 8 t ha-1. The crop residue WS 8 t ha-1 have the potential to increase soil water retion and soil structure stability as well. The CM, WS and SD amendments significantly improved organic matter (OM), porosity, nitrogen ( N) and phosphorus (P) of soil in 4 and 8 t ha-1 than control. The low bulk density (BD) of 1.07 g cm-3 was in WS 8 t ha-1 and the lower pH was recorded in CM 8 t ha-1. The study showed that all three types of amendments (CM, WS and SD) at 4 and 8 t ha-1 rates have potential to improve the soil structural stability, plant available water and yield of grain sorghum.
Single Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-Seq) as an Emerging Technology in Cancer Research
Authors: Rehman Atta Ur , Rashid Abdur , Anwar Ijaz
Published: April 2022

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has revolutionized basic biomedical research by studying the transcriptome at high resolution, and thus it has been proved to be very successful for understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancers. For example, RNA-seq has facilitated a comprehensive and multidimensional mapping of the key genomic changes that lead to various types of cancers. Nevertheless, the heterogeneous nature of cancer tissues has always been a problem. To overcome this challenge, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has emerged as the most powerful tool to characterize cancer tissues by enhancing our knowledge of transcriptome at a single-cell resolution. In addition to disentangling the heterogeneity problem, scRNA-seq has other applications such as determining the molecular mechanisms of cellular differentiation, characterizing gene expression levels, and determining rare cell types found within cancer tissue. scRNA-Seq is used, as an emerging diagnostic tool, in tertiary healthcare settings with diverse clinical applications. Thus, the utility of scRNA-Seq in a healthcare system not only provides compelling evidence about understanding cancer biology but also points towards the development of therapeutic options in the future. The purpose of this review is to educate readers about the applications of scRNA-seq in cancer research in a wider context..

Published: April 2022

Inflammation is process of immune responses to microbial infections and cell damage. Macrophages are pro-inflammatory leukocytes crucial for initiation, maintenance, and resolution of inflammation. Root extract of a medicinal plant Clerodendrum petasites (CP), has been widely used as a component of antipyretic and anti-inflammatory remedies. In the present study, we investigated whether CP aerial part (leaf and stem) extracts had the same contents with the root extracts as well as their cytotoxicity and inflammatory effects in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated murine RAW 264.7 monocyte/macrophage-like cell model. Analysis of the methanol-extracted CP contents with the high-performance liquid chromatography ultra-violet spectroscopy (HPLC-UV) showed that major phenolic compounds found in the root extract were verbascoside and quercetin, while the aerial parts also additionally contained rosmarinic acid and hispidulin. These CP extracts were not toxic to the cells and able to inhibit production of pro-inflammatory markers, nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In addition, the aerial CP extracts also inhibited the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), suggesting additional role of rosmarinic acid and hispidulin. In conclusion, this study showed that the aerial parts of the CP contained phytochemical constituents and could be used as anti-inflammatory medicinal plants.

The objective of this paper is an attempt to rehabilitate the culture of festivity in the present time of capital accumulation, labor hysteria, and health fetishization. By a comparative textological analysis of the works of South Korean–German philosopher Byung‐Chul Han and German philosopher Josef Pieper, we have arrived at two potential fundamentals that might lead toward rehabilitation of festivity in the present time of non‐festivity. The first fundamental is the endurance of tedium, and the second one is the arts and artistic literature. These two fundamentals have led us to a conclusion that the present‐day man necessitates a new narrative for the culture of veritable festivity, formulated in serenity, contemplation, and love and based upon the divine, which is a conditio sine qua non of veritable festivity.

Research has shown that music has tremendous power. The power of music can affect positively or it can also have a negative impact on the listener. Learning is one such area which can be influenced by music. This paper reviews researches conducted on music and its influence on human beings, focusing mainly on their implication on learning. Learning in this paper alludes primarily to formal learning that takes place in educational institutions. Several studies and opinions that support the claim that music influences cognitive abilities have been reviewed. Alongside some studies that seek to differ on this view have also been included. This review also contains the mention of some researches in the medical and clinical field which show that music aids in brain recovery and activates brain regions related to attention and memory, giving a medical basis to prove the effect of music on learning.

The 21st century is characterised by rapid technological advancement, an explosion of knowledge and information, competition, innovation and evolution. These developments are undoubtedly influencing education. The students learning needs are very different today from what they were at the turn of the century. The old model of content delivery is no longer relevant in the world of instant access. We are living through an educational evolution and the pace of change is staggering. Education should make big changes by using modern technologies and personalising technologies to engage students in diverse and creative ways. The demands of the 21st Century require education to redefine the experience of students and teachers. Education needs to make an instructional shift to ensure our students succeed as innovators of the future. A paradigm shift from teachers covering the syllabus to students uncovering and discovering it themselves has called for the development of 21st century skills in education. This paper explores 21st century skills and the methods that allow students to enhance these skills. This paper highlights the goals of education in the context of the 21st century. Policymakers in education must seriously consider incorporating the 21st century skills without losing sight of the purpose of education that is to open up the mind of the students and to prepare them to face the world.

Authors:   Dept. of Education, St Anthony’s College, Shillong, Nongbri Batipshisha
Published: April 2022

Compared to previous generations, Gen-Z has been born into technology, and takes high speed internet, mobile devices and social networking for granted. Being truly digital natives, life online is life itself for this generation. The recent pandemic has brought about forced changes in their physical environment and endangers emotional space. Changes in the learning environment have been imposed at short notice, with virtual education becoming the main mode of learning, instead of being a useful adjunct. This has impacted Generation-Z not only in terms of learning styles but also in terms of psychological wellbeing. . It is difficult to predict how a generation of digital natives would respond to the stress imposed by virtual learning that has been thrust upon them. This article aims to explore the possible psychological impact of virtual learning on Gen-Z and strives to find out how best they can cope up with this abrupt change in learning style.
The Biological Basis for Surface-dependent Regulation of Osteogenesis and Implant Osseointegration

Published: April 2022

Bone marrow stromal cells are regulated by the chemical and physical features of a biomaterial surface. When grown on titanium (Ti) and Ti alloy surfaces, such as titanium-aluminum-vanadium, with specific topographies that mimic the microscale, mesoscale, and nanoscale features of an osteoclast resorption pit, they undergo a rapid change in cell shape to assume a columnar morphology typical of a secretory osteoblast. These cells exhibit markers associated with an osteoblast phenotype, including osteocalcin and osteopontin, and they secrete factors associated with osteogenesis, including bone morphogenetic protein 2, vascular endothelial growth factor, and neurotrophic semaphorins. The pathway involves a shift in integrin expression from α5β1 to α2β1 and signaling by Wnt5a rather than Wnt3a. Conditioned media from these cultures can stimulate vasculogenesis by human endothelial cells and osteoblastic differentiation of marrow stromal cells not grown on the biomimetic substrate, suggesting that the surface could promote osteogenesis in vivo through similar mechanisms. In vivo studies using a variety of animal models confirm that implants with biomimetic surfaces result in improved osseointegration compared with Ti implants with smooth surfaces, as do meta-analyses comparing clinical performance of implant surface topographies.

Tuberculosis is a typical reason for pericardial emission particularly in the emerging nations. Regardless of the decrease in mortality because of tuberculosis and a general diminishing in the occurrence, tuberculosis and its complexities stay a genuine medical issue. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the tuberculous pericardial abscess presenting as multiple pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. Material and methods: This randomized control trial study was conducted in Rashid Latif medical complex, Lahore during November 2020 to August 2021.  The data was collected from 10 patients. Results: The patients was tachypnoeic, poisonous looking and in sepsis. Their important bodily functions showed the accompanying: respiratory pace of 24 breaths/min and tachycardia of 110 beats/min. Clinical assessment upheld the finding of heart problems. Conclusion: It is concluded that tuberculosis stays a genuine medical condition. In this manner confusions like pericarditis, tamponade and boil are inescapable and in spite of satisfactory medication treatment, 33% to one portion of the patients in the long run require Pericardiectomy

Diabetes is one of the most prevailing global health issues.  Genetic factors, obesity, environmental factors, poor dietary habits and sedentary life style are the main causes of its occurrence that leads to hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. In recent years therapeutic effects of dietary flaxseed and blackseed in management of diabetes has been studied. Both possess anti-oxidant, anti-hyperglycemic and anti-inflammatory properties. Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) is a lignan present in flaxseed that lower the blood glucose level and fiber control insulin secretion and its mechanism of action. Thymoquinone (TQ) is a bioactive component present in flaxseed that control blood glucose level, insulin secretion and maintain glucose hemostasis. Both seeds are considered as highly acceptable with the great safety profile in management of type II diabetes. Therefore, this article highlights the therapeutic effects of flaxseed and blackseed supplementation in management of type II diabetes.
