AbstractThe main objective of this study is to measure the NPLS in Pakistan’s commercial bank. The macroeconomic factor of Country GDP, corruption, unemployment, political instability and inflation it’s nettle the level of NPLS in commercial bank in Pakistan.  The unemployment, increasing of interest rate, low economic growth and money laundering they elaborate the changing in NPLS. high inflation, unemployment ratio, huge cases of corruption, political instability are faced by the country.we are working time series data of Pakistan from 1972 to 2022 by using ARDL long and short run. We find that there is long run relationship exist between the variables, and co-integration also have positive and significant impact on NPLS.Finding The observation of this study shows that efficiency of managing the productivity had important effects on NPLS. The policy maker should be establishing the steps for creditors to ensure superb loan management and they will grant to the banks. If the better steps for loan will be establish then the bank will be stable and so their works efficiently. The Finding shows that GDP has positive/negative and significant impact on NPLS of commercial banking in Pakistan in long run/ short run. However, corruption has positive/negative and insignificant impact on NPLs in long run/ short run, we also find that inflation has negative and significant impact on NPLs in long run/short run, we also observed that interest rate has negative and significant impact on NPLs in long run/short run.

Financial Inclusion is Rapidly Growing but the Access to Financial Services Remains Modest
Authors: Zucchelli Davidia
Published: February 2023

Financial inclusion refers to people’s ability to hold a current account with a bank. The degree of financial inclusion is measured by the share of individuals and businesses that use the financial services offered by banks and other financial institutions. Financial inclusion has become extremely relevant among financial sector operators and supervisory authorities as a mean to evaluate both growth and development potential and to guarantee adequate controls to safeguard the stability of the system. Interest in this topic has also been growing because it is included in the UN’s sustainable development goals (the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development). This note intends to identify where countries currently stand in relation to the inclusion target, with a focus on Central, South and Eastern European (CESEE) countries, by using the new data from Global Findex, updated by the World Bank in July 2022. The Global Findex is a vital source of data that is only partially used here to evaluate the degree of diffusion of accounts and basic banking services (deposits and credit) in the CESEE sample. Financial inclusion had improved further by 2021. In many countries, it has become very high and is now at the level of major high-income countries. Most of the unbanked are still concentrated in a few Asian countries. Digital payments strengthened in all regions, especially in Asia. However, the gap between ownership and utilisation of credit and debit cards remained large in 2021, suggesting there is a need to further incentivise use. Customers often have an account but still prefer to use cash. Ownership is not utilisation. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goal could realistically be reached by 2030, but now it is necessary to improve financial education and digital literacy to encourage more effective and extensive use of financial accounts. Nevertheless, the ample diffusion of financial inclusion can be reached mainly with a more even income distribution, in all countries and in all the different development models which are spreading in the world.

Authors: Viana Valle Ana Catarina , Carvalho Aloísio Cunha de , Sena Brunel Hilana dos Santos , de Oliveira Maria Tereza
Published: February 2023

Ruta graveolens belongs to the family Rutaceae, and it is used to treat inflammatory diseases and some cases of cancer due to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Osteosarcoma (OS) is a bone cancer that mainly affects children and adolescents and has a high index in dogs. The treatment of this cancer consists of high doses of chemotherapy, and resection of the area affected by cancer, thus making it a painful and invasive treatment for patients. Under this perspective, it is necessary to search for new forms of treatment that are less invasive and, at the same time, effective, considering that homeopathy is used as a complementary therapy and benefits the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to compare the in vitro action of the homeopathic medicine Ruta D35 on U2OS osteosarcoma cells and canine mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Our results demonstrate that Ruta D35 has a toxic effect on U2OS cells (IC50 16.38µL/mL), reducing cell viability compared to MSC (IC50 67.38µL/mL). Therefore, Ruta D35 showed positive results in treating the OS U2OS line, demonstrating a potential activity in treating this cancer.

The authors (from their own experience and based on scientific literature) state that the old method of osseointegration, which had served the profession of dental implantology is outdated and full of flaws. It does not meet the expectations of the patients and causes severe problems the longer dental implant remain in the oral cavity. The Technology of the Strategic Implant® has overcome the major problems which are associated to conventional oral implantology and of the method of “osseointegration”. Conventional oral implantology and the method of osseointegration is not the specialist standard any more today.
Studies of the Origin and Nature of the Energetic Forces Exerted on a Torsion Pendulum by Human Subjects
Authors: Hansen John Norman
Published: February 2023

These results extend what is known about the effects of a human subject sitting under a torsion pendulum. Previous results showed that subjects affected the pendulum in significant ways. Substantial shifts of the center of oscillation of the pendulum, shifts as large as 2.2 cm (7 deg) requiring a force that is equivalent to 45 mg were observed. Many new frequencies of oscillation of the pendulum were introduced when a subject was present. Dramatic changes in the amplitudes of oscillation of the pendulum were observed throughout the experiments; increasing, decreasing, and increasing again, in quasi-consistent patterns. These shifts of the center of oscillation, the new frequencies of oscillation, and the changes in amplitudes all persisted for 30-60 min after the subject has left the pendulum. These effects have been variously attributed to ‘human bioenergy,’ or to simple cranial heat convection currents. The physical nature of the forces causing these effects remains uncertain. Until now all the experiments we have performed have used ‘control subjects,’ which refers to subjects with no known abilities that would affect the pendulum in unusual ways. In this work, a subject who had 45 years of daily experience with a particular type of meditation ‘sound current meditation’ was recruited. The purpose was to see if different mental states such as a meditative state versus a non-meditative sate, would affect the pendulum differently. These results establish that they are different, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and that the effects by the experienced meditator were significantly different than those routinely seen with ‘control subjects.’ A new kind of experiment was performed by having subjects sit beside the pendulum instead of directly under it. Subjects were the ‘experienced meditator,’ and a ‘control subject.’ Effects on the pendulum with subjects sitting beside the pendulum were diminished in amplitude but were otherwise similar to subjects sitting directly under the pendulum. Although the possibility of cranial heat convection currents being able to exert these effects from a significant distance is not eliminated, the argument that cranial heat convection currents are solely responsible for subject effects on the pendulum is weakened.
The Formula Composed of Chlorogenic Acid and Total Lignans From Fructus Arctii has Stronger Hypoglycemic Effect on Kkay Mice Than When They are Used Alone
Authors: Jin Tong , Zhang Huating , Zhang Jingyun , Wang Haiying , Xu Zhaohui
Published: February 2023

Fructus Arctii, the dried ripe fruit of Arctium lappa L. has been used to treat diabetes since ancient times in China. Total lignans from Fructus Arctii (TLFA) and chlorogenic acid (3-O caffeoylquinic acid, CA) are the main components of it, which have been reported to have hypoglycemic activity respectively. In this study, they were combined according to several content ratios that different from the ratio they exist in Fructus Arctii, for obtaining stronger hypoglycemic effect. KKAy mice, a spontaneous Type 2 diabetic model were gavaged once daily with the experimentaldrugs for 6 weeks. The result indicates that when CA and TLFA were used alone, their hypoglycemic effect were lower than that of metformin. However, when they are used in combination, their hypoglycemic effect has been greatly strengthened, and the effect of the formula is not a simple addition of the activities of the two substances.

Published: February 2023

Objective: To report a case of “recurrent giant malignant melanoma of the right eyelid” in May 2019. Methods: The patient was found to have a recurrence of a huge mass in the right eyelid, which was surgically removed after admission, and histopathological section was given to confirm the diagnosis. Results: CT and histopathological sections were used to finally diagnose the recurrence of giant malignant melanoma of the right eyelid, which prevented the further deterioration of the disease. Conclusion: For this disease, it is easy to diagnose and treat early, and the disease is highly malignant, and it is easy to metastasize to the brain, liver and bone through blood and/or lymph nodes, and it is easy to recur. Therefore, the primary tumor should be enlarged during the operation. After resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be combined according to the situation after operation, and it is particularly important to do postoperative observation and follow-up.

A Philosophical Approach to Aspects of Memory and Consciousness
Authors: Hansen John Norman
Published: February 2023

Science in the modern age advances by the scientific method, which involves the experimental testing of hypotheses, continually revising them to better fit experimental observations. Nearly all articles in scientific journals report results of experiments that test hypotheses, that were in turn tested by earlier experiments. That means that the experiments that come next are based on those that have gone before. A flaw is that it does not provide a route to provide hypotheses that are completely new, and not inspired by previous hypotheses and experimental results. Centuries and millennia ago the primary means of discovery was Philosophy, which was based on the premise that the path to knowledge is to start from fundamental axioms and through a logical process of pure reason, arrive at explanations of everything. I thought it possible that by invoking a philosophical approach one might discover sui generis concepts that would be a source of novel hypotheses that were not inspired by previous hypotheses. Inspired by Rene’ Descartes’ ‘I think therefore I am,’ I chose instead ‘That which cannot be observed does not exist.’ Following a logical path from there was easy, and I was surprised how many novel concepts emerged. Unlike most philosophical ideas, some of these concepts were subject to experimental tests. One was that a thought exerts a physical force, and a collection of our thoughts could provide a measurable force. This led to the design of a pendulum that was able to detect and analyze the substantial forces that surround a subject. These experiments would not have been done without the idea that thoughts exert a physical force. Another novel concept is that translocation of objects is a complex process that resembles a chemical reaction. This was used to derive an equation that embodies the laws of motion and defines terms for inertia and momentum. The concept was expanded by an argument that it could be possible for objects to accelerate and slow down without having to overcome inertia and momentum. Other concepts were related to memory and consciousness and suggested completely new ways by which the brain forms and recalls memories. There are many studies of the brain, and these are designed to test current hypotheses. Instead of performing new experiments, one could take those experimental results and see which hypothesis better explains them. Examples are provided that the show the philosophical hypothesis is the better one. Many concepts were discovered that are not described here. It is likely that many are incorrect, but perhaps some are not. Those that are correct could provide previously unavailable hypotheses that could drive discovery new directions. If this approach bears fruit, it may be useful to merge classical philosophical approaches with modern scientific methods. It may be a way to recover some of what was lost when the Library of Alexandria was burned.
Research Progress on the Mechanism of Action of Danggui-Shaoyao-San Polysaccharide on Some Complications of Type II Diabetes Mellitus: A Review
Authors: Yuan Chaoqiong , Fu Xin , Yu Wenting
Published: February 2023

Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia, and it will cause a variety of complications. Through the research on Danggui-Shaoyao-San (DSS), scholars found that it has an active role in the treatment of diabetes and some complications. Danggui-Shaoyao-San polysaccharide (P-DSS) is the main component of Danggui-Shaoyao-San. P-DSS can participate in the physiological regulation of oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, glucose and lipid metabolism, endoplasmic reticulum stress, bile acid metabolism and iron metabolism, especially bile acid can effectively regulate the disorder of glucose and lipid metabolism in the body, which provides a new idea for the treatment of diabetes. In addition, the therapeutic effect of P-DSS on diabetic complications may also be related to cell autophagy and intestinal flora, but there is little systematic analysis on the mechanism of P-DSS in treating diabetes and its complications. Therefore, this article reviews the potential mechanism of P-DSS in treating diabetes and its complications in detail, providing a reasonable theoretical basis for further research on P-DSS in treating T2DM.

Introduction: Dysphagia is characterised as having trouble digesting food from the mouth to the stomach. It is the sensation of the hindrance of food when it’s passing from the mouth through the oesophagus. Dysphagia can be caused due to or pharyngeal or oesophageal etiologist. Objective: To determine the physician perception about speech-language pathologists' role in dysphagia. Methodology: To achieve this goal, the researcher surveyed physicians including otolaryngologists, neurologist and gastroenterologists about their perception about the involvement of SLP in the management of dysphagia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Lahore, Pakistan. Data for the study was collected from the public and private hospitals and clinics by convenient sampling technique. 97 Doctors completed a questionnaire created by the researcher that had two sections, each of which captured the participant's demographics, closed ended questions regarding physician’s perception (15 items). Results: The results depict that 40.2% of physicians thinks that speech and language pathologist rarely become a part of the team when patient reports difficulty during Preparatory and Pharyngeal phase of swallowing with the mean±SD = .92 ± .909. While 37.1% of the physician thinks that SLPs frequently becomes a part of team when patient complaints about voice alternations with the mean±SD = 2.43 ± 1.117, 53.6% of the physician thinks that SLPs frequently becomes a part of team when patient complaints about Drooling with the mean±SD = 2.59 ± .887, 53.6% of the physician thinks that SLPs frequently becomes a part of team when patient complaints about Poor tongue movements with the mean±SD = 2.74 ± .916 , 50.5% of the physician thinks that SLPs frequently becomes a part of team when patient complaints about asymmetrical facial musculature with the mean±SD = 2.97 ± .847. Practical Implication: The field of speech and language pathology has the main domain of dealing with dysphagia patients but the physicians have yet to understand the scope of speech language pathologists and the role they play in the diagnosis and management of dysphagia, this research will serve to point out the gap of knowledge and awareness of the physicians and the areas that need to be addressed to narrow this gap and increase patient care quality. Conclusion: This study concluded that most of the physicians had insufficient knowledge about the involvement of Speech and language pathologist in the multidisciplinary team for the management of dysphagia.

Authors: Ali Nadir , Khattak M. Asghar , Kanwal Samina , Farid Noreen , Batool Shehrbano , Nishat Mufassar
Published: February 2023

Background: The use of face biometrics is very prevalent in forensic investigations for the identification of the perpetrators of crime due to the excessive use of CCTV footage that is usually available at the scene of a crime in urban settings. Ear biometric analysis of ear prints is also in vogue as a result of research advancements in the fields of biometrics. Keeping in view this scenario, it is the need of the hour to analyze the forensic value of this type of forensic evidence and compare these two tools of forensic biometrics. Purpose: To analyze and compare the forensic value of biometric analysis of face and ear print recognitions in the Punjabi population, in Punjab, Pakistan. Study design: This study is conducted by collecting the data from 100 samples of different people belonging to different backgrounds from different cities in Punjab, Pakistan after their informed consent and ethical approval. Their facial photographs and ear prints were collected for proceeding biometric analysis to form a database for comparison and recognition. Method and materials: After collecting data, the comparison is done to see whether we can recognize a person by only using ear print analysis or face biometrics after running a search in our own created database. Moreover, we also calculated the forensic values of this biometric analysis separately on its own and combined these two i.e., face and ear biometrics. . Furthermore, standard deviation, F-statistics, and Chitest p-value were also applied to see the power of discrimination of these two biometric methods of identification Results: In 100 samples, face recognition was proved to be 80 % recognition of identity as compared with only ear prints which showed 56 % accuracy in identifying the individuals who participated in this research. Furthermore, the combined result of both face recognition and ear biometrics showed 90 % recognition of the identity of the individuals. Statistical analysis proved that biometric analysis of the face for recognition of the identity of individuals was more valued as compared with ear print recognition. Also, it was found that if we combine these two methods of biometrics, the forensic value of recognition of individuals has increased and showed good results. Conclusion: The forensic value of biometric evidence of face and ear recognition is a very important tool for the forensic identification of individuals in crime scene investigations. Biometric facial recognition is better as compared to only ear print biometric analysis. Furthermore, using face and ear biometrics enhances the forensic value of biometric analysis. Keywords: Biometric analysis, Forensic value, face recognition, ear print recognition,

Authors: Durrani Naveed Ahmed , Tabassam Sumara , Bajwa Saqib , Wasim Muhammad Hasan , Toor Abdul Wasay , , Nishat Mufassar
Published: February 2023

The treatment of neuropathic pain is notoriously challenging, and this is often attributed to the psychiatric comorbidity that is commonly misunderstood as being the primary cause of the patient's suffering. Our study aimed to determine the relationship between depressive symptoms and the characteristics of neuropathic pain (NP), on the one hand, and quality of life (QoL), on the other hand, in a group of individuals who sought treatment for neuropathic pain (NP) regardless of the etiology of their condition. NP is a type of pain that is caused by damage to the nerves in the body. Study Pace: Kulsoom International Hospital Islamabad Study Duration: 6months (Feb 2021 to July 2021) Methods: We conducted a study with 60 individuals who came in seeking advice for neuropathic pain. The study was a cross-sectional design. We evaluated these participants based on their levels of five different parameters: their levels of neuropathic pain, as measured by DN4, their levels of pain intensity, as measured by EVA, their levels of anxiety and depression, as measured by the HADS, and their levels of quality of life. Results: The participants' average age was 55.23 ± 20.67 years, the ratio of males to females was 0.54. The mean age of the people who took part in the study was 55.23 years. The three conditions that were seen most commonly as causes of neuropathic pain were postherpetic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and diabetic neuropathy. Depression affected the mental health of 64.9% of persons, while anxiety was a problem for 70.5% of individuals. The quality of life was significantly lower than expected given the average scores of 34.82 on the SF-12 physical subscale and 38.26 on the SF-12 mental subscale. On the BPI, the total mean score was 5.60, and the standard deviation was 1.77. Patients with high DN4 scores showed a significantly increased risk of becoming depressed (p = 0.024), compared to patients with lower DN4 values. This was demonstrated to be the case by the fact that there was a statistically significant positive association between the depression score and the level of pain (p = 0.001, r = 0.41). Patients who were diagnosed with depression were found to have a poor quality of life using both the SF-12 and the BPI. Conclusion: Given the impact that depression has on the components of neuropathic pain as well as quality of life, screening for this comorbidity ought to be a part of the baseline assessment for ND.

Published: February 2023

PURPOSE: To analyze optical correction and utilization of low vision devices in cases of macular hole.

METHODOLOGY: Prospective cross sectional study was performed at tertiary eye care centers within the period of 2.5 years. Screening was done and subjects were taken to tertiary eye care centers for further evaluation. Subjects with macular hole were included and visual functions along with slit lamp evaluation and fundus evaluation were performed. In refraction, best visual acuity is achieved with stenopaeic slit refraction. Low vision aids were given and subjects were trained to use it. Follow up was taken after 3 months and analyzed which device is used maximum by the subjects having low vision. Data was analyzed using SPSS software version 20.

RESULTS: 46 subjects were enrolled with the mean age group of 64.8 years. 63% subjects were male and 37% were females. Among prescribed devices, 88% of subjects were using spectacles given by stenopaeic slit refraction and 79% were using See TV for distance. For near, 91% of subjects reported using dome magnifier of variable power with extra illumination prescribed as per the need. This should be taken into consideration when refracting and prescribing low vision devices in cases of macular hole.

CONCLUSION: In cases of macular hole, refractive correction should be done with stenopaeic slit. Spectacles and See TV (2x) should be prescribed for distance and dome magnifier of variable power as per need should be prescribed for near.

MEASURING ENVIRONMENTAL ATTITUDE AND ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF DIVINE WORD COLLEGES IN REGION I, PHILIPPINES
Authors: Abun Damianus , Aguot Fredrick
Published: February 2023

The study was motivated by the realities of climate change and its effect on the human life. The study argues that environmental problems are caused by human attitude toward environment and such attitude affects environmental behaviour. In order to support such theory, the literature and studies were reviewed. The data gathered through questionnaires and 400 students were given the questionnaires. The descriptive correlational study was utilized to determine the extent of the correlation between environmental attitude and environmental behaviour of the Senior High School Students of Divine Word Colleges in Region I, Philippines. The study revealed that anthropocentric attitude and eco-centric attitude were found to be dominant among students. However, the correlation was found only between eco-centric attitude and environmental behaviour along environmental movement activism and personal conservation behaviour, while anthropocentric and human dominance over nature attitude do not correlate to the environmental behaviour.
