Authors: Jamil Muhammad , Shafique Quratul Ain , Muhammad Noor
Published: February 2024

This quantitative study examined the relationship between job satisfaction and secondary school teachers’ attitudes toward teaching in Punjab, Pakistan. A sample of 560 public school educators completed the Job Satisfaction Scale for Teachers and the Questionnaire of Attitudes Towards the Teaching Profession. Descriptive statistics revealed moderately high mean satisfaction and positive outlooks on teaching overall, with minor variations by gender and locale. Rural female teachers showed significantly more favourable perspectives than urban counterparts. Correlational analysis indicated a robust positive correlation between job satisfaction and attitude toward teaching across demographic groups. Results align with existing evidence that multifaceted policies targeting sources of teacher dissatisfaction and unfavourable attitudes may simultaneously improve both constructs to enhance educational quality. Locality emerged as the most meaningful demographic distinction, suggesting differentiated supports for rural versus urban schools warrant consideration. Further localization of professional development initiatives also appears vital to bolstering provincial secondary instruction. Overall, findings underscore the interdependence of teacher job satisfaction and teaching perspectives while highlighting the instrumentation of tailored, context-specific interventions for maximizing vocational engagement and performance among Pakistani secondary teachers.
Economic Growth Determinants in Pakistan: An Empirical Analysis Using ARDL Model
Authors: Ahmed Shafique , Shaikh Salman Ahmed
Published: February 2024

The objective of this study is to examine the determinants that affect Pakistan’s economic growth. The study examines the causal relationship between economic determinants and growth from 1972 to 2021. Key determinants in the model include physical capital stock, employed labour force, bank credit, human capital, exports, and imports. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used to fulfil the research objectives. The study found long-term co-integration between the variables. Both physical capital and human capital were found to be statistically significant, positively affecting economic growth. Thus, both are complimentary to economic growth rather than substitutes. The study noted that employed labour force, bank credit, exports, and imports did not affect economic expansion. It suggests that neither import substitution nor export promotion is effective in achieving sustainable growth in the period of study. Furthermore, an increase in the employed labour force is not sufficient for economic growth after controlling for the effect of human capital. Results suggest that improvement in infrastructure and human capital productivity are essential to achieve sustainable growth.

Mastitis still remains an economic disease in dairy farms all over the world. This study aimed to report the prevalence of this disease in large-scale farms in Vietnam, the pathogens profile, and first report the detection of Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) by applying conventional culture and real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) methods. We examined 64,802 enrolled dairy cows from six farms in Vietnam, yielding 1,874 (2.9%) total cases of clinical mastitis. The majority of the 14 pathogens were identified. Klebsiella spp. accounted for 21.0% of the total isolates. Streptococcus uberis (S. uberis), Escherichia coli (E. coli), other Streptococcus spp, and Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CNS), followed at 12.6, 7.6, 6.0, and 5.5 percent, respectively. The rest pathogens include Pseudomonas spp., Enterococcus faecalis, Enterobacter spp., Bacillus spp., Citrobacter spp., Pasteurella spp., Proteus spp., and Staphylococcus aureus were isolated with less than 1% each. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for detecting M. bovis in mastitis milk samples in Vietnam, where 35 out of 1,422 samples submitted in 2022 were M. bovis positive. Moreover, of the 35 positive cases, 11 cases had only M. bovis, while 24 cases had M. bovis and other pathogens, including 13 Enterobacteriaceae, 7 Streptococcus spp., and 4 CNS.

Published: February 2024

Storage conditions are one of the factors that affect seed quality. However, storage cannot improve seed quality, but it can maintain seeds in good condition, including their volatile compounds. Therefore, the study aimed to determine the changes of volatile compounds during seed storage on Rubus fraxinifolius seeds. The seeds were obtained from Cibodas Botanical Garden and divided into three groups i.e., seed without storage, seed stored at room temperature for four months, and seed stored in the refrigerator for four months. The seed extract using ethanol and methanol solvents was analyzed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that the total volatile compounds detected in the ethanol and methanol extracts of R. fraxinifolius seed were 113 and 80, respectively. Seven types of main volatile compounds are found in all seed treatments and solvents included g-Sitosterol, g-Tocopherol, 9-Octadecenamide, (Z)-, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, 9,19-Cyclolanostan-3-ol, 24-methylene-,(3.beta.)-, dl-a-Tocopherol, and Squalene. Compounds were belong to sterols, vitamin E, fatty acids, and triterpenoids. In addition, seed storage treatment increased the percentage of specific volatile compounds, such as g-Sitosterol, g-Tocopherol, 2,4-Decadienal, (E,E)-, 2,4-Decadienal, (E,Z)-, 9-Octadecenamide, (Z)-, 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, 9,19-Cyclolanostan-3-ol,24-methylene-, (3.beta.)-, dl-a-Tocopherol, Eicosane, n-Hexadecanoic acid, and Squalene.

Published: February 2024

São esperados 704 mil casos novos de câncer no Brasil para cada ano do triênio 2023-2025. As modalidades no tratamento do câncer envolvem cirurgia, quimioterapia e radioterapia. Entretanto, as drogas antineoplásicas podem acometer células do corpo com funcionamento normal, gerando efeitos tóxicos ao organismo. Dentre os quimioterápicos utilizados no tratamento do câncer, a cisplatina foi um dos primeiros compostos derivados da platina a serem descobertos, entretanto possui como fator limitante no seu uso, o desenvolvimento de complicações como a nefrotoxicidade. Após a descoberta dos efeitos colaterais no uso de cisplatina, buscou-se a obtenção de análogos que produzissem menos efeitos colaterais, surge então, a segunda geração de platinas, a carboplatina e em seguida a oxaliplatina. Objetivou-se avaliar a ocorrência da nefrotoxicidade induzida por platinas em pacientes realizando tratamento quimioterápico com esses antineoplásicos. Realizou-se uma análise descritiva de todas as variáveis do estudo. Participaram do estudo 160 pacientes. A maioria do sexo feminino, representando 62,5%. Cerca de 57,5% dos pacientes possuíam idade menor do que 60 anos, e 73% da amostra se declararam como pardos/amarelos. A maioria não possuía comorbidades e não apresentava hábitos de vida nocivos. 30% dos pacientes apresentavam metástase. Da amostra total, 28 pacientes foram identificados com Estágio 1 de Injúria Renal Aguda, 1 paciente com Estágio 2, e 2 pacientes com Estágio 3. O medicamento mais nefrotóxico foi a cisplatina. Os pacientes do sexo masculino e os que que possuíam metástases apresentaram maior chances de desenvolvem alguma injúria renal durante o uso de platinas. A partir da pesquisa, foi possível traçar um perfil dos pacientes que fizeram uso dos antineoplásicos derivados das platinas e identificar o medicamento mais envolvido nesse problema. Ampliar o conhecimento sobre o tema, permite que sejam traçadas estratégias visando a prevenção do problema, promovendo um tratamento com menos reações adversas para o paciente oncológico.
Exploring the impact of sulfocalcic solution and water glass on the synthesis of phytoalexins and antifungal activity against Cladosporium cladosporioides
Authors: Guerino Gabriel Mendonça , Bonaldo Solange Maria
Published: February 2024

The passion fruit production in Brazil stands out as an activity of significant interest, especially for small-scale farmers, due to the short cycle of the crop, high economic returns, and wide demand in the consumer market, encompassing both fresh consumption and industrial processing. However, despite these attractions, the crop faces considerable challenges due to its notable susceptibility to diseases. In this context, this study was conducted with the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of sulfocalcic solution and water glass in two distinct aspects: (i) in the in vitro control of Cladosporium cladosporioides, the causal agent of Passion Fruit Scab; and (ii) in the induction of phytoalexin synthesis in soybean cotyledons and bean hypocotyls. Four distinct treatments were implemented: T1 as a control, T2 with water glass (1.25%), T3 with sulfocalcic solution (3.03%), and T4 with sulfocalcic solution (0.5%). Results revealed that the 3.03% sulfocalcic solution demonstrated significant efficacy in controlling mycelial growth, followed by the treatment with the same substance at 0.5%. Treatments 3 and 4 were equally effective in inhibiting germination and sporulation, reaching approximately 90%, while water glass showed no efficacy in the conducted tests. Regarding the induction of phytoalexins, none of the treatments resulted in the accumulation of these compounds in bean hypocotyls; however, the 3.03% sulfocalcic solution induced synthesis in soybean cotyledons. These findings underscore the potential of sulfocalcic solution as an effective control agent against C. cladosporioides.

Este texto plantea fomentar la enseñanza del español lengua extranjera (E/LE) en contextos verosímiles de comunicación con un enfoque intercultural con vistas a la formación mediadores culturales. Para eso, presentaremos la orientación teórica que sostiene nuestras reflexiones y acciones, bien como principales metas en lo que concierne a la enseñanza, investigación y extensión. Esta propuesta se justifica por la importancia de pensarse en lo lingüístico cultural como elemento clave en el contexto de la integración latinoamericana. Nuestro objetivo es preparar al estudiante para que sea un mediador intercultural sensible a los discursos transmitidos mediante el lenguaje, por intermedio del texto fílmico. En este intento, sabemos que cabe al interculturalismo superar el etnocentrismo y el relativismo cultural y avanzar hacia la conquista de una actitud de respeto e igualdad que nos permita analizar otras culturas desde sus propios patrones de forma a permitir la intercomunicación entre ellas. En ese sentido, a partir de un relato de experiencia en la Universidade Estadual da Paraíba (UEPB), subrayamos las potencialidades del séptimo arte en colaborar con nuestro intento y como posibilidad para presentar al estudiante brasileño el español hablado en situaciones verosímiles de comunicación en los más variados rincones y, de esa manera, facilitar la adquisición de la lengua con miras a promover la intercomunicación cultural. Invertimos, por un lado, en una posición de respeto a las diferencias y, por otro, en la manifestación de la alteridad. El audiovisual, además de enriquecer las clases, son una opción fantástica como extensión del ambiente formal de aprendizaje y puede contribuir para el desarrollo de la autonomía en la búsqueda de conocimientos. Por lo tanto, el cine surge como un inmejorable aliado ya que las películas son producidas de forma contextualizada en la lengua meta, sin manipulaciones con fines didácticos.

Authors: Abdulkarim Rahim , Aghazadeh Ali Mirza , Daneshyar Mohsen
Published: February 2024

Mixed day-old broiler chicks (160) in 4 groups were used to investigate the effects of mentha extract (Mentha piperita) on performance, carcass characteristics, plasma lipoproteins and liver indices. All the chickens were fed the similar starter (day 1–21 of age) and grower (day 22–42 of age) diets in pellet form, but received 0.0 (ZM), 0.2 (LM), 0.4 (MM) and 0.6% (HM) alcoholic extract of Mentha piperita in drinking water during the experimental period (day 1 to day 42 of age). Performance (feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio), hot carcass and proportional weights of thigh, wing and abdominal fat were not affected by mentha consumption. But breast proportional weight increased linearly as the mentha extract level increased. Positive and negative quadratic regression models were observed between mentha extract level with the liver colour index and liver proportional weight respectively. Mentha extract supplementation decreased plasma total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL- C and VLDL- C quadrically. It was concluded that mentha extract consumption in drinking water can have beneficial effects on plasma lipoproteins and breast proportional weight. Moreover it decreased the synthesis of lipids in liver and consequently decreased the liver proportional weight and increased the liver colour index.

Introduction:E landscapes have been transformed by technological advancements, enabling adaptive and flexible learning through AI-based and decision-oriented adaptive learning systems. The increasing importance of this solutions is underscored by the pivotal role of the learner model, representing the core of the teaching-learning dynamic. This model, encompassing qualities, knowledge, abilities, behaviors, preferences, and unique distinctions, plays a crucial role in customizing the learning experience. It influences decisions related to learning materials, teaching strategies, and presentation styles. Objective: This study meets the need for applying AI-driven adaptive learning in education, implementing a novel method that uses self-esteem (ES), emotional intelligence (EQ), and demographic data to predict student performance and adjust the learning process. Methods: Our study involved collecting and processing data, constructing a predictive machine learning model, implementing it as an online solution, and conducting an experimental study with 146 high school students in computer science and French as foreign language. The aim was to tailor the teaching-learning process to the learners' performance. Results: significant correlations were observed between self-esteem, emotional intelligence, demographic data, and final grades. The predictive model demonstrated a 90 % accuracy rate. In the experimental group, the results indicated higher scores, with an average of 15,78/20 compared to the control group's 12,53/20 in computer science. Similarly, in French as a foreign language, the experimental group achieved an average of 13,78/20, surpassing the control group's 10,47/20. Conclusion: the achieved results motivate the creation of a multifactorial AI-driven adaptive learning platform. Recognizing the necessity for improvement, we aim to refine the predicted performance score through the incorporation of a diagnostic evaluation, ensuring an optimal grouping of learners
Shifting Politics Between Muslim States & Israel: From the Khartoum Declaration to the Abraham Accords
Authors: Faheema Nazhath
Published: February 2024

The Israel-Palestine conflict has long hindered diplomatic ties between Israel and many Arab and Muslim countries. However, a significant shift occurred in 1979, when Egypt normalised relations, followed by Jordan in 1994 and the Abraham Accords in 2020. These normalisation efforts signal a move from pan-Arab stance against Israel, based on the 1967 Khartoum Declaration, to a regional partnership driven by Arab states’ national interests. Despite establishing diplomatic relations, the need to achieve lasting stability and peace in the region necessitates addressing the Israel-Palestine issue comprehensively. The existence of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel, ensuring safety for both Palestinians and Jews, is crucial. This imperative has become even more apparent in the 2023 Israel-Hamas war. Any renewed normalisation efforts between Arab states and Israel should learn from the precedents set in earlier waves of normalisation, but prioritising a better solution for the Israel-Palestine conflict is essential for the stability and peace in the Middle East.

Realizar una investigación y estudio de casos acerca de la paniculitis mesentérica con la finalidad de determinar sus posibles etiologías, síntomas y métodos diagnósticos de la enfermedad. Se trata de un estudio documentado y de casos investigados en un periodo de 2016 al 2021 en varios servidores web como Pubmed, descriptores de Salud como DeCS, ClinicalKey y MeSH. La clasificación más habitual presentada fue la te tipo I con un 43%. La media edad fue 61, 7 años aumentando su prevalencia con la edad, y afectando principalmente al sexo masculina con una relación 2:1. La clínica mediante descripción de cuadros de dolor abdominal crónico (72%), distensión abdominal (26%) y diarrea (25%), siendo hallazgos infrecuentes las náuseas, vómitos, estreñimiento, fiebre, adelgazamiento y ascitis, pero un gran porcentaje son asintomáticos. Dentro del diagnóstico el método de elección es la tomografía computarizada y en el tratamiento no hay parámetros definidos, pero se ha reportado el uso de corticoesteroides e inmunosupresoras, en algunos casos se menciona la cirugía, pero esta no es recomendable.

Indonesia merupakan Negara yang memiliki jutaan tenaga honorer di berbagai sektor. Selama ini, tenaga honorer tidak memiliki jenjang karir yang jelas. Topik mengenai tenaga honorer selalu hangat diperbicangkan, tenaga honorerpun berharap mendapatkan angin segar terhadap nasib mereka yang tidak memiliki jenjang karir maupun tunjangan selayaknya PNS pada umumnya. Beberapa penelitian telah mengkaji bagaimana hubungan antara Self disclosure dan konsep diri terhadap mahasiswa, remaja difable maupun Self disclosure melalui media. Namun demikian belum ada penelitian yang terkonsentrasi pada konsep diri dan Self disclosure atau keterbukaan diri tenaga honorer ketika mereka berkomunikasi dengan PNS. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran konsep diri dan self disclosure pegawai honorer dalam berkomunikasi interpersonal dengan pegawai negeri sipil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. subjek pada penelitian ini adalah pegawai honorer yang telah bekerja kurang lebih selama lima tahun. Teknik pengumpulan data dengan observasi, wawancara mendalam dan studi literatur. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan yaitu dengan mereduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa konsep diri subjek dalam berkomunikasi dengan pegawai negeri sipil cenderung positif. Self disclosure subjek dalam berkomunikasi dengan pegawai negeri sipil cenderung rendah sehingga komunikasi interpersonal yang lebih dalam jarang terjadi.

The phenomenon of power in Yogyakarta attracted the attention of various groups, including the national media when differences of opinion emerged regarding the requirements for candidates for Governor and Deputy Governor candidates of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The Governor of Yogyakarta is directly held by the Sultan as the King of the Yogyakarta Palace in accordance with the Yogyakarta Privileges Law. The problem arose when Sultan HB X did not have a son, and some parties interpreted the special law and regional regulations requiring that the governor of Yogyakarta be held, male. This problem has attracted the national media to produce news texts related to the pros and cons of women leaders in Yogyakarta. This research intends to uncover how the national media of Kompas daily constructs discourses on the rejection of female leaders and how the struggle for public acceptance or ideological ideas related to leadership succession in Yogyakarta. With a qualitative approach, the method used in this study is Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis model. News texts related to the issue of leadership succession were analyzed starting from the text level, discourse level, and sociocultural level. The results of the study found that the production of the Kompas daily news text in practice represents a group that rejects female leaders in Yogyakarta. Local political elites in parliament, Keraton aristocrats, and Sultan HB X mutually defend their views on women's rights to become leaders in Yogyakarta. Kompas Daily provides a space for discourse on the issue of women's rejection to represent their side of those who reject women leaders

The Covid-19 pandemic forces education stakeholders to implement the online learning policy. They face challenges in Science, Technology, and Mathematics (STM) educations that are the most difficult subjects. Responding to the policy, parents may take on the role of teachers. This study explores the experiences of parents that take on the role of teachers, particularly in STM. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data obtained by interviewing several parents of students who were selected by convenience sampling method. Data were analyzed using Miles & Huberman’s interactive model regarding the grounded theory for concluding. It found that parents take the teacher's role as the resource provider, the supporter & learning facilitator, the mentor, and the personal model. Challenges were both technical and non-technical forms. Some of them do not master the subject matter of their children, making it difficult to provide support and take the role of a teacher. Some of them took the place of their children to work on assignments from school. Some others simply provide scaffolding to their children. Some of them use the internet to understand the subject matters or find answers, but some others could not.  This has implications on how parents should be prepared in implementing distance learning policies, especially in STM fields of study.

Currently the Covid-19 pandemic has affected us a lot, both in personal behavior, or especially in the economic sector which continues to deteriorate due to the closure of regions and / or restrictions on human movement. Many companies have closed, and many have become bankrupt because they had to close their companies. Various stimulus programs and efforts have been made by both the companies themselves and each countries to overcome this problem. On the other hand, in Indonesia the concept of Industry 4.0, which is currently developing rapidly, was proclaimed by President Joko Widodo at the beginning of his second term government. The concept of Industry 4.0 has been developed since 2015 and is now still under developing to be applied in the world. This concept is based on digitalization and ICT networks to carry out production. In addition, the goal of the industrial 4.0 concept is to produce a production system capable of producing revolutionary system that can produce customized product taht being produce in mass production way and therefore able to open up a new market niche. Since then, there are much progress been done by the government in its efforts to apply the industry 4.0 concept to all lines. But the problem is, is it true that what is being implemented is industry 4.0? Also, will the technologies and management concepts promoted by Industry 4.0 be able to overcome the current Covid-19 pandemic conditions if they have been implemented? This paper seeks to explore this theoretically, by looking at key technologies from Industry 4.0 that might solve the problem of the Covid-19 pandemic. There are several technologies from Industry 4.0 that can overcome the conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic, for example AI and Additive manufacturing. It is hoped that from the results of this research experience can be drawn for the application of industry 4.0, especially during the current Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: Industry 4.0, Covid-19 Pandemic, industry challenges

A conventionally cast version of the Cantor alloy (equimolar in Co, Ni Fe, Mn and Cr) was elaborated and samples were cut to carry out three points flexural creep tests according to a (1000, 1050, 1100°C)  (10, 20 and 30 MPa) array to explore the possibility of use in term of temperature and stress. For a majority of cases the deformation rates were too high, revealing a lack of practical interest, except for 10 MPa for which, whatever the temperature tests longer than 100 hours were realized. These tests were all performed under a slow flow of argon o preserve the alloy from oxidation during the tests. In fact, oxygen present as impurity (about 10 ppm) induced a signification oxidation of the samples which were covered by complex oxides involving Mn and Cr in various proportions and for different stoichiometries for the oxygen importance point of view, with thickness not far from what can be obtained in synthetic air for similar conditions.

In toxicological studies for the detection of target organs, organ mass coefficients and absolute organ weights of laboratory animals are one of the monitored parameters. The aim of this study is to determine reference intervals of organ mass coefficients in relation to body weight and brain weight, and absolute organ weights in guinea pigs. The indirect method of obtaining reference values was used to determine reference intervals, and data from 40 male and 61 female outbred guinea pigs obtained during animal health monitoring from 2021 to 2023 were included in the analysis. The initial step in obtaining reference intervals is to determine the presence of statistical outliers and their exclusion, for each parameter evaluated separately. Reference intervals were established based on Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute recommendations for mass coefficient and absolute values of heart, lung, thymus, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal glands, brain, testes, and ovaries. Due to the small number of reference values (less than 120), a robust method of calculating reference intervals with confidence intervals was used. To improve the prognostic significance of the obtained reference intervals, it is necessary to increase the size of the analysed sample of reference values (more than 120). From the perspective of bioethical norms, a retrospective approach to obtaining additional reference values should be used to achieve this goal.
