Authors: Hashmi Aroona , Wishal Hina , Kiyani Dr. Tanvir
Published: July 2021

Constructivism is a vibrant and self-motivated coaching paradigm that implies the establishment of the latest academic conceptions relying on the pupil’s past educational experiences.
 Constructive teaching approach (CAT) accompanied with PQRST method (Preview, Question, Read, Summarize and Test) considered as an efficient way for progression of the students’ comprehension regarding skills of English subject matter. This study aimed to find the effect of constructive teaching approach (PQRST) on 9th graders academic achievement in the provided subject of English. Quasi experimental Pre-test-posttest research design had employed to fulfill the fundamentals of the current study. Two intact groups were randomly selected, and teacher made achievement test used to take the score. Control group was instructed English conventionally whereas treatment group was instructed through PQRST under the shade of CAT. Pre-test scores demonstrated an insignificant statistical difference between both groups but after getting treatment for 12 weeks experimental group exposed a momentous positive statistical discrepancy in scores via getting instruction through PQRST. The current research recommends constructivist teaching approach along with PQRST may be used for the improvement of students’ reading and comprehension skills in the subject matter of English which can enhance their achievement overall.
Understanding of Mexican Migration to the United States: Rifts and Challenges
Authors: Khan Rana Basam , Bhatti Muhammad Nawaz , Mustafa Ghulam
Published: July 2021

It has been decades since legislative issues have thought about social, defense, and compassionate issues of migration which has become a touchstone in U.S strategy discussion. Mexican migration to the U.S started in 1848. It has proceeded to the present with no critical interference, something that makes this work movement very particular as a basic segment of the American work advertise. Generally started with enormous development, driven by starvation, political problems, open doors in the U.S; that point eased back, tightened, or unexpectedly finished, from 1850 to 1882, similar to the case of the Chinese. The details show that Mexico is a key source of settlers in U.S and has long been a major source of enemy contact with refugees, but so many have been focusing on Mexico and not the other countries which have also become major sources of illegal immigrants. The United States and Mexico are bordered with California, San Diego, and Baja California, Tijuana, and the Pacific Ocean. The boundary stretches eastward to El Paso, Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Texas, on the Rio Grande. From that point the border continues south-east along the Rio Grande River until the end of it in the Gulf of Mexico. Border stretching of over 1945 miles is insufficiently regulated. Only old solid markers, rusty safety clasp and spoiled dry fence posts can be found in many parts of the place, and the river Grande that over the centuries has continuously changed its course separating both nations. U.S endeavors to control passages and exit adequately have been focused principally along the most profoundly dealt transit courses driving to north. U.S. powerlessness to control all the Mexican boundary has proven that any Mexican involved in operating in the U.S seldom discovers that the frontier is an unlikely trap Through the span of the most recent 170 years, Mexican migrants have to a great extent worked in horticulture, farming, mining, and railroad development.
Whether Households are Willing to Pay for Clean Water Supply in Sialkot, Pakistan? An Elucidation
Authors: Dr. Muhammad Hassam Shahid  , Ahmad Dr.Ashfaq , Dr.Wasim ul Rehman
Published: July 2021

Waterborne diseases due to contaminated water remain a severe problem in most of the developing world. The situation is serious in Sialkot the district of Punjab where groundwater is contaminated due to effluents' improper disposal. The current study is designed to find the determinants of willingness to pay (WTP) by households for clean drinking water supply in the affected area. A contingent valuation survey approach and a stratified random sampling technique have been applied. A double bounded dichotomous choice question followed by an open-ended question format has been used to elicit WTP and maximum willingness of the respondents for clean drinking water supply. Logit and Multiple Linear Regression Model is used as an econometric tool to analyze the data. The results reveal that as the income of the respondent increases, the WTP for the clean water supply also increases. While multiple regression reveals a monthly mean WTP of Rs. 234.54 which is greatly affected by age, household income, education, and environmental awareness i.e. respondents with higher household income and a higher level of education are willing to pay more for a clean water supply. Residents who are living closer to the tanneries are more affected and their WTP is higher.

Bangladesh’s dillema between big brothers India and China
Authors: Aditya Satyaki
Published: July 2021

ABSTRACT

Bangladesh is a small state in South Asia, but its pivotal geostrategic location on the contested Indian Ocean Region (IOR) and being one of the world’s fastest growing economies with 160 million population helps overshadow the small territorial size of the country. Soon after independence, in 1975 with Chinese recognition, the tug-of-war for hegemonic influence in Bangladesh began between India & China. This paper wants to test the conventional wisdom whether ‘Great power rivalries make smaller nations vulnerable.’ The paper also endeavours to predict the future relationship between the two giants in Asia amid all tensions regarding their association in regional forums like ASEAN, BIMSTEC and initiatives like BRI. The research wants to identify the strategic options in foreign policy for Dhaka and whether they have been successful in turning the neighbour’s rivalry into billions of dollars in investment.

 

RESUMEN

Bangladesh es un pequeño estado del sur de Asia, pero su ubicación geoestratégica fundamental en la disputada región del Océano Índico (IOR) y el hecho de ser una de las economías de más rápido crecimiento del mundo, con 160 millones de habitantes, ayudan a eclipsar el pequeño tamaño territorial del país. Poco después de la independencia, en 1975, con el reconocimiento de China, comenzó el tira y afloja por la influencia hegemónica en Bangladesh entre India y China. Este documento quiere poner a prueba la sabiduría convencional de que "las rivalidades de las grandes potencias hacen vulnerables a las naciones más pequeñas". El documento también intenta predecir la futura relación entre los dos gigantes de Asia en medio de todas las tensiones relativas a su asociación en foros regionales como la ASEAN, el BIMSTEC e iniciativas como la BRI. La investigación quiere identificar las opciones estratégicas en política exterior para Dhaka y si han tenido éxito en convertir la rivalidad del vecino en miles de millones de dólares en inversiones.

Authors: Ahmed Amany L. , Mohamed Nermen A.
Published: July 2021

Context: Leprosy remains a leading cause of peripheral neuropathy and disability globally despite the extensive efforts to reduce the disease burden. It is associated with social stigma, and the patients sometimes suffer social discrimination because it often leads to visible physical deformities.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of educational program on the health consequences of patients with leprosy.

Methods: The study was conducted at outpatient clinics in Dermatology Hospital affiliated to the Ministry of Health and population. A quasi-experimental (pre/post-test) design was used on a purposive sample of 72 leprosy patients. Four tools were used to collect the data for this study: A structured interviewing questionnaire, a patients' reported practices checklist, an attitude assessment scale for patients with leprosy, and health consequences assessment questionnaire for patients with leprosy.  

Results: The current study reveals a significant improvement in the patients’ knowledge, reported practice, and attitude toward leprosy. A significant improvement in health consequences (problems and needs) after education compared with the preintervention level. An association between the total knowledge, practice, and attitude after health education was significant (p<0.001). An association between the mean and standard deviation of knowledge, practice, and attitude before and after the health education program was significant (p<0.001).

Conclusion: Educational program had a remarkable effect on improving patients' knowledge, practice level, patient attitude, and health consequences (problems and needs) of leprosy. The study recommended applying educational programs for patients with leprosy in different health care settings focusing on prevention from disabilities.
Auditor’s Duty to Ensure Clients are Using Accounting Practices in Compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles: A Case Study of Infinity Business Group, Inc.
Authors:   Tarleton State University Fort Worth, Texas USA, Blythe Stephen Errol
Published: July 2021

Infinity Business Group, Inc. (IBG), a company specializing in the collection of bad checks, was incorporated in 2003. IBG recorded its collection fees as Accounts Receivable even before the Not-Sufficient-Funds checks were collected, a method not in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; accordingly, IBG’s auditor should not have issued unqualified opinions on the financial statements during 2003-2008. A $23 million write-off of Accounts Receivable in 2009 had a devastating effect on the company and it declared bankruptcy in 2010. In 2019, the Bankruptcy Court ruled: (a) the auditor’s unqualified opinions violated the U.S. Securities Exchange Act, and the auditor was forced to plead guilty to one felony count of securities fraud; (b) IBG’s CFO was dishonest when he responded to an inquiry from a lender about the Accounts Receivable; (c) Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (MK), a brokerage and investment banking firm contractually affiliated with IBG, encouraged IBG to discontinue using the improper accounting method; (d) IBG’s President Cordell made a misrepresentation to MK in 2007 when he stated that all of the questionable Accounts Receivable had been written off; (e) in 2008, MK became aware that IBG might change the accounting method; (f) MK never encouraged IBG managers to breach fiduciary duties to IBG; (g) MK did not owe IBG fiduciary duties, but even if it did, there is no evidence of a breach because MK encouraged discontinuance of the improper accounting practice; (h) some of the managers and directors of IBG were innocent, they did not participate in daily operations of the company, and they did not have control of the company; and (i) notwithstanding the fact they did not commit securities fraud, some of the “innocent” managers and directors failed to discharge their duties to IBG by advocating for the continued use of the improper accounting method. On appeal in 2021, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court, holding that: it did not make any legal errors; the Bankruptcy Trustee did not adequately prove damages caused by MK; and the Bankruptcy Trustee’s claims were barred by the Doctrine of in Pari Delicto.

Metabolic Flexibility and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics in the Failing Heart. Therapeutic Approaches
Authors: Rosca Mariana G.
Published: July 2021

Objectives

We will review current concepts regarding bioenergetic decline in heart failure (HF). In the heart, the high energy demand must be met by continuous ATP generation. Cardiac energetic machinery orchestrates the ATP production by using oxidation of multiple energetic substrates including fatty acids (FA), glucose, amino acids and ketone bodies. The normal heart is metabolically flexible and able to use different energetic fuels during physiologic or pathologic circumstances to better match the energy demand. Mitochondria have critical role in maintaining cardiac metabolic flexibility.

Methods

We analyzed the scientific literature pertinent to HF and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Results

The general consent is that metabolic flexibility is lost in HF with either preserved or reduced ejection fraction (HFpEF and HFrEF, respectively). The prototype of HFpEF is the metabolic heart disease that is characterized by increased reliance on FA oxidation for ATP production and decreased glucose oxidation, while HFrEF presents a decreased FA oxidation. Both types of HF are associated with a decline in mitochondrial function leading to increased oxidative stress, abnormalities in the redox status and energy deficit.

Conclusion

Current research is committed to find novel metabolically targeted therapeutic approaches to improve energetic metabolism and alleviate HF progression.

This case report describes eight years of follow-up in a young adult with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). He presented with exertional palpitations, symmetric T wave inversions and possible epsilon waves in the right precordial leads on electrocardiogram (EKG), raising suspicion for ARVD. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a dilated and excessively trabeculated right ventricle (RV), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed fatty infiltration of the RV myocardium. These findings established the diagnosis of ARVD, and given his palpitations, a defibrillator was implanted. Over the next years, he had several episodes of ventricular tachycardia requiring therapy from his device, despite escalating medical therapy. He therefore underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for the VT, which successfully controlled the VT.

Authors: Plazola-Hernández Alejandro , Bustos-Rodríguez Felipe De Jesús , Orozco-Cortez Pascual , Baltazar-Gómez Adriana
Published: July 2021

Introducción: La epididimitis por histoplasmosis es una patología rara habiendo reportados en la literatura tan sólo 10 casos encontrados en bases de datos internacionales (PubMed, Scielo) referidos en 8 artículos obtenidos realizando su búsqueda intencionada hasta la fecha (2020).

Se presenta como una lesión pseudotumoral la cual genera sospecha clínica de malignidad y es más frecuente pacientes que presentan algún tipo de inmunodeficiencia, especialmente pacientes infectados con VIH-SIDA.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 22 años el cual fue sometido a orquiectomía simple en el servicio de cirugía por presentar una tumoración sólida adherida a la región posterosuperior del testículo izquierdo.

El servicio de anatomía patológica se recibió la muestra etiquetada como testículo izquierdo de 5x5x2.5cm y a su vez, se recibe un nódulo de 3.5x2x2cm de superficie irregular de color café oscuro de consistencia ahulada, al corte, superficie lisa de color café claro con áreas color amarillo claro. Se diagnostica como epididimitis por histoplasmosis.

Conclusiones: La epididimitis por histoplasmosis es una patología rara cuyo diagnóstico es microbiológico y una vez tratada diagnosticada, debe levantar la sospecha de una inmunodeficiencia no diagnosticada en el paciente.

Published: July 2021

Descripción del caso: Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 21 años que acude a consulta por introducirse una pluma para escribir dentro de la uretra desde hace 4 meses extrayéndola incompleta. El paciente refiere dificultad miccional, disminución del calibre de la orina y esfuerzo miccional. A la exploración se encuentra cuerpo extraño sólido dentro de uretra distal. La uretrocistografía descarta estenosis uretral y muestra movilidad del objeto. Se realiza extracción del objeto con ordeñamiento con meatoplastia y con la uretrocistoscopía se descartan complicaciones asociadas, tuvo un seguimiento de 6 meses sin complicaciones.

Relevancia: La importancia de este caso es que existen muy pocos reportes de casos de cuerpos extraños intrauretrales de larga evolución, por lo que este caso aporta información para el tratamiento de estos pacientes.

Implicaciones clínicas: La introducción de cuerpos extraños intrauretrales es una práctica poco frecuente y generalmente se asocia a patología psiquiátrica o motivaciones sexuales. Los cuerpos extraños intrauretrales pueden asociarse a complicaciones como estenosis uretral, infecciones, urolitiasis, fístulas, entre otros.

Conclusiones: Debido a la falta de evidencias en la bibliografía médica, el diagnóstico y tratamiento se establecieron de manera empírica con excelentes resultados.

Geometric and harmonic means based priority dispatching rules for single machine scheduling problems
Authors: Ahmad Shafi , Khan Zahid Akhtar , Ali Mohammed , Asjad Mohammad
Published: July 2021

This work proposes two new prority dispatching rules (PDRs) for solving single machine scheduling problems. These rules are based on the geometric mean (GM) and harmonic mean (HM) of the processing time (PT) and the due date (DD) and they are referred to as GMPD and HMPD respectively. Performance of the proposed PDRs is evaluated on the basis of five measures/criteria i.e. Total Flow Time (TFT), Total Lateness (TL), Number of Late Jobs (TNL), Total Earliness (TE) and Number of Early Parts (TNE). It is found that GMPD performs better than other PDRs in achieving optimal values of multiple performance measures. Further, effect of variation in the weight assigned to PT and DD on the combined performance of TFT and TL is also examined which reveals that for deriving optimal values of TFT and TL, weighted harmonic mean (WHMPD) rule with a weight of 0.105 outperforms other PDRs. The weighted geometric mean (WGMPD) rule with a weight of 0.37 is found to be the next after WHMPD followed by the weighted PDT i.e. WPDT rule with a weight of 0.76.

The discovery and description of patterns in electric energy consumption time series is fundamental for timely management of the system. A bicluster describes a subset of observation points in a time period in which a consumption pattern occurs as abrupt changes or instabilities homogeneously. Nevertheless, the pattern detection complexity increases with the number of observation points and samples of the study period. In this context, current bi-clustering techniques may not detect significant patterns given the increased search space. This study develops a parallel evolutionary computation scheme to find biclusters in electric energy. Numerical simulations show the benefits of the proposed approach, discovering significantly more electricity consumption patterns compared to a state-of-the-art non-parallel competitive algorithm.
Lattice Based Group Key Exchange Protocol in the Standard Model
Authors: Abla Parhat
Published: July 2021

Group key exchange schemes allow group members to agree on a session key. Although there are many works on constructing group key exchange schemes, but most of them are based on algebraic problems which can be solved by quantum algorithms in polynomial time. Even if several works considered lattice based group key exchange schemes, believed to be post-quantum secure, but only in the random oracle model. In this work, we propose a group key exchange scheme based on ring learning with errors problem. On contrast to existing schemes, our scheme is proved to be secure in the standard model. To achieve this, we define and instantiate multi-party key reconciliation mechanism. Furthermore, using known compiler with lattice based signature schemes, we can achieve authenticated group key exchange with postquantum security.

La cercanía del año 2000 provocó en América Latina una avalancha de predicciones sobre la probable situación del continente al finalizar el siglo XX. Sagasti y Arévalo aseguraban, en 1992, que Latinoamérica debería recuperarse después de la década perdida. Una década después, es oportuno preguntarnos, en México, sobre las expectativas concretas, generadas a raíz de la entrada en vigor del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), en 1994. Este tratado debe considerarse como la antesala para el recientemente anunciado Plan Puebla Panamá (PPP). La estrategia global, en la cual se inserta el PPP, es una continuación lógica del proceso de apertura iniciado en México, desde 1985, e institucionalizado en 1994 con el TLCAN. Dada la amplitud del tema, analizamos el desarrollo reciente de la industria del vestido en Tlaxcala y tomamos en cuenta la explosión maquilera en este estado, para evaluar el impacto sufrido merced a la recesión económica que tiene lugar en Estados Unidos. En tal sentido, podemos preguntarnos: ¿qué papel juega México y específicamente la industria del vestido en la actual redefinición estratégica del bloque norteamericano? ¿Qué beneficios y qué amenazas traerá consigo el PPP para esta industria?

A computational study of Trishomocubane amino acid dipeptide
Authors:   , Govender Poomani Penny
Published: July 2021

4-amino-(D3)-trishomocubane-4-carboxylic acid (tris-amino acid) is a constrained a-amino acid residue that exhibits peculiar conformational characteristics. The aim of the present study is to provide a deeper understanding of these features, which can be used as a guide when chOOSing@shomocubane as suitable building blocks for peptide design. The Ca carbon of@ishomocubane forms part of the cyclic structure, and consequently a peptidic environment was simulated with an acetyl group on its N-terminus and a methyl amide group on its C-terminus. This study involved a complete exploration of the conformational profile of (Yishomocubane using computational techniques.The parm94 parametization of the AMBER oio forc@eld was used to explore the conformational space of the peptide,Q)\xEFshomocubane. The Ramachandran maps computed at the molecular mechanics level' with the parm94 forc@\xEFeld parameters compared reasonably with the corresponding maps computed at the Hartree Fock (HF) level, using the 6-31G* basis set. The results of this study revealed that the conformational profile of the @ishomocubane peptide can be characterized by four low energy regions, viz., C7ax, C7eq, 310 and al helical structures.
Effects of processing on the characteristics of flour and protein isolates produced from Lablab purpureus
Authors:   , Naiker Tremayne Sheldon
Published: July 2021

The utilization of legumes by food industries has grown considerably in intermediate forms other than whole grains. Thus, continuous work is focused on modifying legume-based raw materials for improving its techno-functional properties whilst preserving its nutritive value. The study conducted was aimed at analyzing the effects of processing treatments on the characteristics of flour and protein isolates produced from Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet (hyacinth bean). Flour was produced from legume grains subjected to steaming (S+A) and dehydration (S+A+D) treatments, following soaking (S). Protein isolates were produced from respective flour fractions using isoelectric precipitation. Samples produced from steaming and dehydration was found useful for potential application as functional food ingredients for nutritional intervention. The respective flour samples contained improved resistant starch (23.44 g/100 g dry starch) content. Swelling and solubility indices were found to be greater at lower temperatures mainly attributed to the pre-gelatinization of starch granules. Thus, they may be potentially suitable for ingredient application in texture modified foods. Protein isolates produced displayed traits typical of high-quality proteins and demonstrated exceptional functionality. The rapid increase in predicted biological values observed suggested improved protein digestibility potential. Samples contained significant concentrations of branched chain and aromatic amino acids highlighting potential health benefits. Protein nanoparticles were produced using Ca2+-induced aggregation (0.00-6.50 mM) from hyacinth bean protein isolate (2% m/v, pH 7). This was to examine its potential for development as food- grade Pickering emulsion stabilizers. Protein solutions containing high Ca2+ concentrations resulted in higher dynamic viscosities (mPa.s). Protein nanoparticles (~172.38 nm) were formed at 3.50 mM Ca2+. The z-average diameter of aggregates was dependent on Ca2+ concentration. Results satisfied certain criteria for nanoparticles to potentially function as Pickering stabilizers. However, nanoparticles were susceptible to 4 M Urea and emulsion creaming became more apparent as storage progressed. The study conducted provides valuable information on how processing could be useful for obtaining value-added legume grain ingredients for potential food applications. Such approach could diversify the use of hyacinth bean and help improve the competitiveness of the legume grain sector.

EFFECT OF PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL MUTAGENESIS IN LITTLE MILLET (PANICUM SUMATRENSE ROTH EX ROEMER AND SCHULTZ) ON SEED GERMINATION, SEEDLING SURVIVAL THROUGH INDUCED MUTATION
Authors: Ramkumar R. , Dhanavel D.
Published: July 2021

Little millet (Panicum sumatrense Roth ex Roemer & Schultz) belongs to Poaeceae family and it is Indian in origin. Milletsare mostly rain fed crops and used as food and fodder. Mutations can be induced in a variety of ways, such as by exposure to electromagnetic or ionizing radiation or chemical mutagens. The seed of little millet variety of Co (samai) 4 seeds were treated with different dose/concentration of physical mutagens (5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45 and 50KR) and chemical mutagens like EMS (Ethyl Methane Sulphonate) (5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45 and 50 mM). After that the treated seeds are sown in Petri dish under the laboratory conditions. It was found that the M1 generation is effected in seed germination, seedling survival and morphology mutation.
Keeping the Promise of Community: Communal Efforts on the Contemporary Zagreb Non-Institutional Scene
Authors: Kačić Rogošić Višnja
Published: July 2021

In their 1979 manifesto, the independent experimental theatre collective Kugla glumište (Zagreb, 1975–1985) claims: “Kugla discovers images, symbols and stories that wish to be the promise of community.” The article explores the repercussions of those neo-avant- garde community efforts on the contemporary Zagreb non-institutional scene by analysing four inclusive performances which differ in motivations, aesthetic aims, production levels and participatory modes. In The Love Case of Fahrija P (2017), the ex-members of Kugla and additional co-authors stage a polylogue with the artistic heritage of the deceased Kugla glumište member Željko Zorica Šiš (1957–2013) and the inclusive procedures they devised during the 1970s. The community project 55+ (2012) by the production platform Montažstroj gathers the participants who are over 55 in workshops, public debates, celebrations, protests and a documentary to provide visibility and voice to that neglected generation. In the trilogy On Community (2010–2011), the production platform Shadow Casters tests different mechanisms of creating temporary aesthetic communities, from learning an a cappella group song to sharing secrets, on its recipients. Finally, the atmospheric inclusion of the subtly associative performance Conversing (2019) by Fourhanded offers an almost elitist opportunity of co-existing in the intimate world of private tensions. However, what they all have in common is a physically non-invasive form, emotional and/or intellectual engagement and an emphasised personal commitment that can oblige audiences to reciprocate while they join the community of experience.
On Collective and Devised Creation in Slovenian Theatre
Authors: Milohnić Aldo
Published: July 2021

In the first part of the article, the author analyses the appearance of the director and the changes in his position in Slovenian theatre from the second half of the 19th century to the present day. In this context, he is particularly interested in the changes in theatre directing that took place in the second half of the 20th century with the emergence of collective theatre. The author methodologically combines historical and comparative analysis, as these processes still take place today, when devised theatre and other forms of theatrical creation are increasingly spoken and written about, moving away from the conventional process by which a playwright writes a dramatic text as a literary work of art and the director then transforms it into a theatrical work of art. There are more and more performances in contemporary Slovenian theatre in which a pre-written dramatic text is not crucial for the final product of the creative process. The two most commonly used terms for this type of performance are po motivih (based on the motifs) and avtorski projekt (auteur performance). Although the terms are not synonymous, both terms imply a devised type of theatre. The author compares group creation with the devised way of creating and points out that although these are practices that can take place in parallel, they cannot be equated. The author concludes that for collective theatre, the specific relationship between the creative group and the director’s position is constitutive. In contrast, for devised theatre, the relationship between the creative group and the playwright’s position is crucial. Finally, the author also touches on the connections between postdramatic and post-directors’ theatre and the emergence of the creative group as a collective subjectivity.
