Authors: Iqra Khan, Maryam Bibi, Muhammad Amin
Published: July 2021

The term education has been the living phenomena among the social and cultural lives of the human body that derives the crucial needs and necessities of the modern world. This could be considered as the realistic approach to say- as education provided the positive barrier between the old and new learnings to help bring out the development in the logical and literal minds. The fundamental requirements of education result the possibility when its acquirements are made reachable to the deserving hands. Education is hence freed from all the discrimination and racial comments- welcomes the technological and scientific learnings to those who seeks for it. As, for men, education has been the revolving agenda to succeed in the rushing world and as it’s similar for the women of every religion and culture. With the rising inventions and prominent technological factors, the demanding scope for the educational promotions established the future needs. This need in an outcome prevailed the exceeding desires of women to work side by side with men and to meet the necessities of the coming age. The patterned structures that the society follows, advances the efforts of men rather than women and if it belongs to any religion, Muslim women are the first to face the discriminative attitudes in the work places and learning institutes. But to count their efforts in an extensive manner, there are many of the Muslim women who took charge in the advancement of the technological and the social sciences. This article aims at the perpetual challenges and contributions of Muslim women in their respective work areas. The problems and hurdles they experienced at the social and cultural surroundings. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the difficulties and hardships of Muslim women all around the world and the challenging atmospheres they worked in while giving their utmost for the betterment of society

La amenaza del estereotipo para el rendimiento en las pruebas motrices específicas para el deporte
Authors: Ward Jo , M. Buscombe Richard
Published: July 2021

El tenis femenino mundial tiene un problema de participación, con una disparidad grave entre los géneros en los gruposcompetitivos y de más edad a pesar de una división bastante proporcionada entre los grupos de menor edad. Parece lógico sugerirque la amenaza del estereotipo puede contribuir a una pérdida de rendimiento, y una eventual desmotivación, de chicas en el tenis.Se dividieron 26 jugadoras de entre 9 y 14 años en grupos de igual tamaño, uno de control y uno experimental, y se las sometierona una serie de pruebas comunes de tenis, que incluyeron la precisión de la derecha, el salto de longitud y el test T de agilidad. Enel caso del grupo experimental, los participantes leyeron una declaración corta que sugirió que las mujeres producirían resultadosinferiores a los de los hombres. Los resultados mostraron aumentos en el rendimiento del grupo experimental, contrario a lahipótesis; sin embargo, el aumento aún destaca el impacto de los estereotipos en el rendimiento.

Published: July 2021

Background: NAFLD is a metabolic syndrome that manifests in the liver and is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM), insulin resistance, obesity and hyperlipidemia. The number of sufferers continues to increase worldwide in line with the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes. Resistin is a potential marker for NAFLD, which also have an important relationship with obesity and insulin resistance.
Purpose: to analyze the relationship between resistin level and the degree of NAFLD.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at the Gastroentero-hepatology Department of Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, from January to March 2020. Patients with NAFLD diagnosed with abdominal ultrasound underwent measurement of body mass index (BMI), examination of resistin levels, fasting blood glucose, platelet count, albumin, AST and ALT, and the degree of NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS) was determined.
Results: From 67 samples, based on abdominal ultrasound, the largest proportion was grade I NAFLD (40.4%). There was a statistically significant relationship between resistin levels and the degree of NAFLD (p value <0.01), NAFLD comorbid in both type 2 DM and BMI ≥ 23 kg/m2 (p value <0.001), NFS with the degree of NAFLD (p value <0.001), and also resistin levels with the degree of NFS (p value <0.001).
Conclusion: Significant relationship was found between resistin level and the degree of NAFLD (p value <0.001) and also between resistin levels and the degree of NAFLD Fibrosis Score (NFS) (p value <0.001).

Published: July 2021

Background: Breast cancer in younger women is a growing burden both in developed and Asian subcontinent. Despite studies showing varying results about the impact of age on treatment outcome and suboptimal survival, very few robust Indian studies have thrown light on this biologically different entity.
Methods: Histologically / cytologically confirmed cases of non-sarcomatous, female ductal breast carcinoma patients of age group less than and equal to 45 years of all stages attending radiotherapy department of R.G Kar Medical College between January 2016-December 2018 were included in the study. Relevant information was obtained from patient`s files/case records. Database was locked on 31st March 2021.The baseline demographic profile, cancer subsites along with treatment provided were analysed using SPSS version 16 (IBM Inc, Armonk, New York, U.S.). Descriptive data are provided.
Results: Total 272 patients were eligible for the study as per the inclusion criteria with median age of 39 years (22-45 years). Majority were urban married Hindu females. Majority were locally advanced and node positive high grade disease as per AJCC 7th staging system. Modified radical mastectomy was significantly higher than breast conservation surgery as the surgical modality (76 vs. 8.9%). 31.2%, 54.5% patients received neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy respectively.61% patients received curative intent radiotherapy either in conventional or hypofractionated schedule. Myelosuppression and oral mucositis were the major treatment related adverse events. Overall median PFS was 48 months.

Published: July 2021

Background: High-throughput assays that can infer neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 are of great importance for assessing the immunity induced by natural infection and COVID-19 vaccines. We aimed to evaluate the performance and degree of correlation of three fully automated anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoassays with neutralization activity using a surrogate virus-neutralizing test (sVNT) from GenScript, targeting the receptor-binding domain. Methods: 110 sera collected from PCR-confirmed asymptomatic COVID-19 individuals were tested for neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) using the sVNT. Positive samples were tested on three automated immunoassays targeting different viral antigens: Mindray CL-900i®, Abbott Architect, and Ortho VITROS®. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, agreement, and correlation with the sVNT were assessed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine optimal thresholds for predicting the presence of neutralizing activity by each assay. Results: All three assays showed 100% specificities. The highest sensitivity was 99.0%, demonstrated by VITROS®, followed by 94.3%, for CL-900i®, and 81.0%, for Architect. Both VITROS® and CL-900i® had the strongest correlation with the sVNT (ρ = 0.718 and ρ = 0.712, respectively), while Architect showed a moderate correlation (ρ = 0.618). ROC curve analysis indicated that the manufacturer’s recommended cutoff values are adequate for predicting the presence of nAbs and providing a strong correlation with the sVNT. Conclusion: VITROS® and CL-900i® serological assays, which detect antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, could serve as reliable assays to predict neutralization activity after infection or vaccination.

Authors: Singh Bhupendra , Sharma Pooja , Bose Sujit , Thakur Jyoti , Saini Geetanjali , Vyas Manish
Published: July 2021

There are many problems with the conventional dosage form of various drugs and one of them is dosing frequency in which patients have to take the drug again and again throughout the day which is very difficult mainly for the elder patient. So, to overcome this problem the approach of a novel drug delivery system (NDDS) is used to replace the conventional drug delivery system. NDDS mainly deals with sustained release of drugs which is effective to reduce the dosing frequency. Niosome is one of the best approaches of a novel drug delivery system, in which the drug in solution form is enclosed in vesicle which is made up of non-ionic surfactants. In the case of liposome which is another part of NDDS vesicles is made up of phospholipids. Niosome formulation is a powerful tool to resolve the issue of insolubility and the low bioavailability of drugs. This paper overviews the various methods of preparation of Niosome along with its pharmaceutical applications.

Published: July 2021

La problemática de la contaminación marina y su marcada influencia en la salud de los ecosistemas costeros, está estrechamente relacionada con el aumento creciente de las poblaciones que habitan estas zonas y, de igual manera, con el incremento de las actividades domésticas, agrícolas e industriales que, por el mal manejo e inadecuado control de los desechos sólidos y líquidos, afectan el medio marino con significativas implicaciones a nivel ecológico, socioeconómico y de salubridad (Marín et al., 2005). Cada vez más la contamina¬ción en el planeta abarca un tema importante de tratar, esto se debe al agotamiento de los recursos naturales y al calentamiento global que afecta a toda la humanidad de diferentes maneras. Vargas (2016) aclara que la sosteni¬bilidad juega un papel fundamental que busca no poner en peligro al medio ambiente ni los recursos naturales que existen en el lugar. Con el propósito de evaluar los efectos e impactos que ocasionan la contaminación, la susceptibilidad al deterioro de funciones ecológicas, servicicos ecosistemicos, y la capacidad de adaptación, se desarrollo un análisis integrado de amenazas y vulnerabilidad ante la contaminación orgánica y microbiológica en la población costera de Santa Elena-Ecuador, 2020. La presente investigación permitio evidenciar el estado de vulnerabilidad de la localidad situada en zona costera de Santa Elena, ante la contaminación orgánica y microbiológica. Asimismo puede ser utilizada como soporte en la generación de planes y programas que ofrezcan para el control y disminución de la contaminación en los hogares como en la zona marino-costera, en la medida en que se identifican puntos clave para el fortalecimiento de la comunidad tanto en términos de infraestructura como el caso de los servicios de acueducto y alcantarillado así como de capital social y dependencia del uso de agua en la comunidad en estudio.
Local Alignments and Global Politics: Military Bureaucratic Axis, Subaltern Protests and Political Reversals in Post-Colonial Pakistan
Authors: Basu Subho
Published: July 2021

In the Cold War environment of the 1950s, Pakistan army sought an alliance with the United States and the United Kingdom while they searched for allies in the Middle East and South Asia. At the same time, the military-bureaucratic establishment of Pakistan denied a democratic constitutional regime in the country and slowly transformed East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, into an internal colony. In East Pakistan, the pro-democracy movement was headed by Awami League (AL), a board coalition of constitutional autonomist and radical socialists and communist. Within the AL, Maulana Bhashani, a radical cleric, and his left wigs followers read into the global politics of Cold War alignment between the Pakistan and the USA to be a critical hindrance toward the democratization of politely, but constitutional autonomists within AL remained committed toward the Cold War military alliance. This lead to a split in the AL Consequently, In the wake of Suez War, global politics impinged upon local political alignment as much as local political alignment informed and influenced global politics in Pakistan.
Extended Kalman Filter Design for Semilinear Distributed Parameter Systems with Application to Anaerobic Digestion
Authors: Yupanqui Tello Ivan Francisco , Coutinho Daniel , Vande Wouwer Alain
Published: July 2021

This paper is concerned with the online state estimation of a class of one-dimensional semilinear partial differential equation (PDE) systems considering piecewise measurements over the spatial domain. In the context of infinite-dimensional linear systems, it is well-known that the Kalman filter minimizes the mean square estimation error. For semilinear infinite-dimensional systems, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) is a widely used extension relying on successive linearizations of the estimation error dynamics. In this paper, we propose a computationally tractable implementation of the EKF using a sample-and-hold approach for which the optimal output injection operator associated to the proposed estimator is computed at each sampling time via the approximate solution of the infinite-dimensional Riccati equation. The performance of the observer is exemplified through numerical experiments which demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
On σ-entropy Analysis of Linear Stochastic Systems in State Space
Authors: Boichenko Victor , Belov Alexey
Published: July 2021

In this paper the problem of random disturbance attenuation capabilities in linear continuous systems is studied. It is supposed  that the system operates under random disturbances with bounded σ-entropy level. σ-entropy norm indicates a performance index of the continuous system on the set of the random signals with bounded σ-entropy. This paper presents a time-domain solution to the calculation of σ-entropy norm of the continuous linear time-invariant system. σ-entropy norm is defined after solving coupled matrix equations: one algebraic Riccati equation, one nonlinear equation over log determinant function, and two Lyapunov equations.

Since independence, Georgia has not adopted a law regulating the field of religious organizations and defining their rights and obligations (“Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations”). The relations between the latter and the state are regulated by a constitutional agreement approved by the Parliament as of October 22, 2002. Unlike other churches operating in Georgia, GOC is the most closed institution in the country with exceptional privileges, great economic and financial potential, the activity of which no state body can control, inspect or demand reports. Instead of passing the law on “Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations”, amendments to the Georgian Civil Code in 2011 allowed religious unions in the country, including the Armenian Apostolic Church, to register as a subject of public law. The mentioned changes, however, did not solve any general problem; the law did not enable the AAC Georgian Diocese to return the heritage taken away during the Soviet and post-Soviet years. The law did not regulate the mechanisms of the AAC Georgian Diocese acting as a religious organization in the field of public law; the Diocese continues to face multifarious administrative and legal problems while carrying out cultural, educational, social, charitable, office as well as activities of other nature and content.
vía decolonial para el pensamiento dicotómico en las concepciones de cultura
Authors: Carrasco Quintana Ana
Published: July 2021

Este es un artículo de reflexión a partir del proyecto artístico-antipedagógico “Repite conmigo. Didácticas del olvido” (2016) de Ana Cecilia Carrasco; una exposición artística que aborda el pensamiento dicotómico como la subcategorización de componentes culturales indígenas. El proyecto artístico de referencia tuvo, entre otros elementos, una instalación de encuestas y testimonios recogidos en las ciudades de Puno, Trujillo y Chanchamayo, en Perú, en los que se evidencia indicios de “pensamiento dicotómico”. Entre las dinámicas de mediación de este proyecto se destaca el “Taller de Crítica Gráfica”, diseñado metodológicamente por la artista, junto a Miguel Det. Estas actividades tuvieron lugar en el Centro Cultural Bellas Artes (Lima, 2016). Este artículo analiza el proceso de construcción discursiva del proyecto y los resultados de sus dinámicas de interacción y mediación con el público, desde una postura decolonial, con el objetivo de ofrecer posibilidades de abordaje crítico del pensamiento dicotómico desde la mediación artística.
Familiar Pursuits: Women's Occult Influences and Shakespeare's Preternatural Bear inThe Winter's Tale
Authors: Hand Molly
Published: July 2021

The object of the preposition in that most famous of Shakespearean stage directions, “Exit, pursued by a bear,” has been the subject of much critical inquiry. This essay suggests that The Winter's Tale's preoccupations with maternal influence and the occult encourage us to situate the bear at their intersection: the bear may be understood through its entanglements with the occult properties of women's bodies and the creaturely and gendered dynamics of early modern witchcraft. While other intellectual traditions and “old tales,” including classical myth and natural history, foreground the bear as a symbol of maternal nurturance and shaping influence, tethering the bear to its referents in witch texts sharpens its meaning as an emblem and embodiment of women's occult power and as a reminder of women's proximity to the animal realm. Through Shakespeare's bear, cultural anxieties that accompanied notions of witchcraft, motherhood, and women's somatic influences find creaturely expression.

Proses pembelajaran di SLB saat ini cukup baik dan menarik, hal ini karena semakin baiknya lulusan PLB dari perguruan tinggi yang mencetak guru untuk sekolah Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK). Pembelajaran di SLB semakin hari semakin diperhatikan oleh pemerintah, salah satu contoh adalah di SLBN Pembina Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Gubernur saat ini semakin memperhatikan anak ABK, pembangunan gedung sekolah yang terus direnovasi, kelengkapan media pembelajaran dan buku ajar, dan honor guru kontrak yang terus dinaikkan. Hal ini sangat membantu terciptanya pembelajaran yang baik dan efektif di SLBN Pembina Provinsi Kalimantan Timur. Tujuan pengabdian ini adalah untuk membantu anak ABK mengenal lingkungan sekitarnya dengan memanfaatkan lingkungan sekolah. Dalam hal ini, yang masih perlu diperhatikan untuk sekolah ABK adalah perlunya kreatifitas guru yang lebih ekstra, karena setiap tahunnya anak ABK semakin banyak mengalami peningkatan pendaftar sehingga jumlah siswa dalam satu kelas adalah berjumlah lima sampai enam orang yang mestinya hanya empat siswa saja. Selain itu jumlah siswa ABK khususnya tuna grahita semakin meningkat sehingga dengan tingkat intelegensi yang rendah itu harus membuat guru jadi sabar dalam menghadapinya. Setiap karakter siswa ABK pasti berbeda, dengan perbedaan itulah yang kadang membuat guru sangat sulit untuk mengajari mereka. Salah satu usaha untuk memancing dan membuat siswa bergairah belajar adalah dengan cara memanfaatkan lingkungan sekolah sebagai sumber belajar untuk anak ABK, sehingga mereka terlihat senang dan mau belajar. SLBN Pembina merupakan SLB percontohan di Kalimantan Timur, kondisi fisik sekolahnya cukup baik, nyaman, dan lengkap untuk dijadikan sebagai sumber belajar sehingga mampu merangsang otak anak bisa berfikir dan kreatif.

Introduction: At 11:20 on 26 May 2018, a physician from Lianyungang No. 1 People’s Hospital, China, reported that six family members were being treated in the hospital with symptoms from an unknown cause. Methods: A case series for a food poisoning investigation and an environmental survey were conducted. The patients and their relatives were interviewed in person with a questionnaire contained on a digital tablet, and an investigation of the patients’ home was conducted in the presence of police officers. Probable case and confirmed case were defined to serve as a basis for identifying additional cases. Confirmed cases were defined as those probable cases in which blood, stool or vomitus specimens tested positive for paliperidone palmitate and/or its metabolites. A descriptive analysis was performed. Follow-up by telephone was conducted four months later. Results: There were six probable cases. The median age was 35 years (range: 5–76 years). The attack rate was 100% (n = 6/6) of persons who consumed a family dinner, and the hospitalization rate was also 100% (n = 6/6). The median period between exposure and symptom onset was two hours. The main symptoms included vomiting, nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and severe abdominal pain for adults, and vomiting and severe lethargy for children. An 8-year-old girl further showed changes in the ST segment of her electrocardiogram, and a 5-year-old boy showed QT prolongation. The poisoning substance was suspected to be paliperidone palmitate based on the patients’ symptoms and epidemiological findings. Discussion: We investigated the household food poisoning outbreak through epidemiological analysis and an environmental investigation and determined that it was caused by paliperidone palmitate. The source of the paliperidone palmitate was found to be aluminium containers, taken home by the eldest son who worked at a pharmaceutical company. The containers were sent to a drug disposal centre, and the pharmaceutical company was required to enhance the regulation on the pharmaceutical waste materials to prevent drug poisoning events. By the end of September 2018, the six patients recovered and were released from the hospital, and they did not show any clinical sequelae in four follow-up visits.
