Published: November 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health concern, with nearly 2 billion people latently infected worldwide, particularly concentrated in the 30 countries with the highest TB burden, including Pakistan, ranking fifth in this category. Pakistan also grapples with Multidrug-resistant TB strains, complicating treatment options. Early diagnosis is crucial for timely TB treatment initiation and prevention of further transmission. Among various diagnostic tests, the Gene Xpert MTB/RIF assay stands out as a promising tool endorsed by the World Health Organization for diagnosing TB in the lungs and other organs. The current study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of this assay in the current setting of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the diagnosis of extrapulmonary TB. The study included 529 extrapulmonary specimens from suspected TB patients, meeting the specified criteria, anonymously and consecutively. These specimens underwent decontamination using the NALC-NaOH method and were then inoculated onto Lowenstein Jensen media slants. The remaining pellet from each specimen was subjected to testing using the Xpert assay to detect TB bacilli. The study comprised 529 specimens, including 181 pleural fluid, 117 CSF, 89 tissue biopsies, 84 pus, and 58 ascitic fluid samples. The Xpert assay exhibited an overall sensitivity of 78.3% and a specificity of 92% compared to culture techniques. Its positive predictive value stood at 42.6%, with a negative predictive value of 98.2%. Notably, the sensitivity of the Xpert assay was particularly high for pus and tissue biopsy specimens, while it was moderate for body fluids. Specificity remained consistent across various non-respiratory specimens. The study recommends the use of the Xpert assay for diagnosing extrapulmonary TB in Peshawar, Pakistan, due to its simplicity and very short turnaround time. Despite its moderate sensitivity in body fluids, this can be enhanced by considering additional clinical findings.

Published: November 2024

Fecal incontinence (FI), defined as the involuntary loss of bowel control leading to the accidental passage of stool, is a prevalent yet underreported condition, particularly among women. Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between findings from DRE and ARM with PROs in women suffering from FI. Methods: This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted at the Sandeman Provincial Hospital, Quetta from from 1 January 2024 to 30 June 2024. Data were collected from 60 patients. Results: Data were collected from 60 patients with a mean age of 52.5 ± 9.8 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.5 ± 4.1 kg/m². Additionally, 70% of the participants had been experiencing fecal incontinence for over two years. The Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) findings showed that 33.3% of participants (n = 20) had normal sphincter tone, while 41.7% (n = 25) exhibited moderate sphincter weakness. Severe sphincter weakness was observed in 25% (n = 15) of the participants. Conclusion: Both DRE and ARM are valuable diagnostic tools for assessing FI, with ARM showing a stronger correlation with PROs. Incorporating PROs into clinical evaluations enhances the understanding of FI’s impact and allows for more personalized treatment approaches. Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to confirm these findings and improve management strategies.

Species area richness and economic value of small representative - Landscapes in the eastern Himalaya: Its implications for conservation reserve
Authors: Sundriyal Rakesh , Sundriyal Manju
Published: November 2024

In the Himalaya, the area under conservation network has increased over the years. However the basis of declaring an area under such network has been very poorly documented. Realizing that the study of the entire flora present in a forest stand is difficult, and needs much time, effort and expertise, small representative vegetation types and habitats that provide a replica, in broader sense, of the total vegetation, are to be identified and studied for evaluating the status of the vegetation. The present paper highlights species area relationship, growth form spectra and economic value as the quick measures, based on a study made in the Sikkim Himalaya (Eastern Himalaya). It is expected that the study formulates a useful tool for managers, planners and policy makers to undertake such simple methods for assessing the biodiversity of any potential area for conservation in any region.
Leybl as Tusovka
Authors: Coppenrath Florian
Published: November 2024

As in other peripheral music economies, hip-hop music-makers in Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek, self-organise their artistic labour in a context of “lack” of institutions and public support. This article takes a closer look at Bishkek’s hip-hop leybly, musical collectives that emerged around 2010. In order to highlight the particularities of these social formations and analyse their inner workings, I use the concept of tusovka – a slang term widely used in everyday Russian-speaking cultural communities. Building on previous conceptualisations of this term as a form of meeting-based, organic sociality, and drawing on two examples of hip-hop leybly in Bishkek I argue that the tusovka can make a theoretical contribution to the wider field of popular music studies in an attempt at “ex-centric” theory building.

Authors: Mabroukah Khalleefah
Published: November 2024

Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic association between a green plant and a fungus. The current study was conducted to assess the effect of inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on the growth of seeds of the wheat plant. Triticum aestivum, which is one of the plants that host the fungus, was studied by calculating the wet weight and dry weight of both the root system and the shoot system. In this experiment, roots colonized with AMF were used as a source of injection. Wheat seeds were injected with these roots and compared with other seeds without control injection. The injected plants and uninfected plants were allowed to grow for a period of 75 days. During this period, the plants were harvested over three periods 25, 50, and 75 days. Through this experiment, it was found that AMF have a high efficacy on the growth of the wheat crop, through a positive effect on the growth of the seeds of this host plant. Such studies on AMF are still rare in Libya, so we tried to follow up the previous studies, so we studied this kind of coexistence with this economically important agricultural crop in Libya and the world.

CRISPR-Cas9: Revolutionizing Gene Therapy for Genetic Disorders
Authors: Dilsiz Nihat
Published: November 2024

Faulty or mutated genes cause multiple human disorders such as cancer, neurogenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. These mutations in genes are usually inherited. Many treatments have been established to cure such diseases, but gene therapy is the most promising strategy. It’s an application of biotechnology that is based on correcting and replacing the mutated gene with the healthy gene, providing the genes for the proper expression of desired proteins required for curing the disease.  In clinical settings, gene therapy has proved itself as a very promising treatment but has some drawbacks. Traditionally, these methods involved viral vectors that are used to deliver correct genes and replace them with the mutated genes, in patients.  These approaches have somehow potential to cure diseases but often off-target effects, limitations in the editing process, and immune responses caused by patients’ immune systems are the main challenges that are the main shortcomings of this method. However, the discovery of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated nuclease protein 9 (Cas9) genome editing system (CRISPR/Cas9) in 2012 and its development have increased the value of gene therapy in the therapeutic world [1]. CRISPR/Cas9 is a revolutionizing tool that has been in gene therapy for knocking in and out gene to correct the mutation associated with many genetic diseases.  This system has evolved greatly and has many isomers using different strategies to improve both applied, basic research and its clinical application.
The ability of CRISPR-Cas9 to target various genetic diseases is one of its greatest advantages. Mutation in single gene results in monogenic diseases such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and sickle cell anemia, and this system has shown the potential to edit or fix the defective genes, causing these diseases. Even in the case of complex disorders caused by the mutation in multiple genes such as several types of cancer,    and cardiovascular diseases,  CRISPR has shown very positive results.
The application of CRISPR-Cas9 in gene therapy is very promising and has tremendous potential to give cures for many complex disorders. The ethical issue regarding the editing of human DNA and the inheritance of modified DNA into the next generation is still under discussion and causing hurdles in uncovering the full potential of this system. Researchers are working to increase its efficiency and specificity to reduce the off-target sequences so that only targeted modification can be achieved. Moreover, they are trying to give possible results to reduce ethical concerns.
CRISPR has evolved greatly and has many isomers using different strategies to improve both applied, basic research and its clinical application in the future.

Impact of Digital Banking on Traditional Banking Services
Authors: Davey Pratheek S , MV Eshwar , C Ananya
Published: November 2024

Digital banking has quickly become a game-changer in the world of finance, altering the way banks interact with customers and run their operations. With tools like mobile banking apps, AI-driven recommendations, and blockchain technology, consumers now have more control and convenience in managing their finances than ever before. This shift has raised the bar on what people expect from their banks, prompting traditional banking institutions to adapt to stay relevant in a fast-evolving, tech-driven landscape. This paper explores how digital banking is impacting traditional banks in areas like cost savings, data insights, market reach, and consumer habits. While the digital shift opens doors to new efficiencies and easier access, it also brings unique challenges, especially around cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance with new regulations. Additionally, with fewer physical branches and less face-to-face contact, there’s a question of how this transition may affect the trust and service quality that many customers still value in their banking experience. Using real-world examples and industry trends, this paper looks at how traditional banks are responding—whether by creating hybrid models that blend digital and in-person services, forming partnerships with tech innovators, or ramping up cybersecurity. The goal is to explore whether digital banking can coexist with traditional models to enhance the banking experience, or if it’s setting the stage for a future where traditional practices may be left behind. The findings aim to shed light on how banks can strike a balance between adopting new technology and maintaining the personalized, reliable service that has long defined their role in the financial industry.

Of the 94,000 kr. is an exorbitant salary of 23,500 kr. spent on paper that can be subsidized using effective alternative techniques. The smartphone, which has a profound effect on people's daily routine, can be used for paperless ticketing. In today's digital era, the way we access and experience cultural heritage sites, such as museums and monuments, is evolving. Traditional paper tickets and long queues are fast becoming outdated, replaced by more efficient and user-friendly digital solutions. This project explores the development of a Mobile based ticketing system that simplifies the ticket purchase process for visitors, provides easy entry verification through QR codes, and enhances security with biometric authentication. Beyond improving the visitor experience, this system helps site administrators manage visitor flow, protect against fraud, and even reduce environmental impact by going paperless. The application’s aim is to create a seamless and enjoyable journey for visitors—from purchasing tickets to entering the site—while providing insightful data for site managers on visitor patterns and peak hours. This digital transformation reflects the larger trend of integrating technology into our everyday experiences, making heritage sites more accessible, sustainable, and enjoyable for everyone.

Systematic Approach to Prevent Code Vulnerabilities using CI/CD Pipelines
Authors: Ponaka Kamalakar Reddy
Published: November 2024

This paper discusses a systematic approach to integrating Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Code Coverage, and Code Quality Checks into Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Modern CI/CD pipelines accelerate software delivery but introduce significant security and quality challenges. By incorporating SAST and SCA for security testing, along with code coverage and quality checks, organizations can prevent code vulnerabilities and ensure the maintainability and reliability of their applications. This approach helps development teams shift security and quality controls left, catching issues early in the development lifecycle.

This study evaluated the combined application of the DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) in the context of the Village Financial System (SISKEUDes) in Berau Regency. The research found that information system quality significantly influenced user satisfaction and intentions to use the system but did not significantly impact net benefit. Facilitating conditions positively affected user satisfaction but did not significantly influence intentions to use or net benefit. Habit was found to significantly impact net benefit, though it did not affect user satisfaction or intentions to use. Furthermore, user intentions were identified as a significant mediator in the relationship between system quality, facilitating conditions, habit, and net benefit. These findings highlight the crucial role of user intentions in determining the net benefits of SISKEUDes and suggest areas for improvement in system management and implementation.

This research was a qualitative phenomenological study and its purposes were to 1) understand the meaning of self-regulated learning and excellence from the perspectives of students, administrators, teachers, and parents of students who have achieved learning success. 2) study the self-regulated learning process of successful students through the experiences shared by students, administrators, teachers, and parents. 3) identify the success conditions of self-regulation in students who have achieved learning success, as obtained from students, administrators, teachers, and parents. The research instruments consisted of causal factor interview protocol and observational forms, and the data was analyzed by using content analysis. The research findings indicated that 1) self-regulated learning is a process of self-control that involves taking responsibility for learning tasks, having the motivation to seek knowledge using various skills, self-assessment, management, and having the necessary reinforcements to achieve one's goals. This leads to excellence, a unique quality that surpasses others, and it stems from individual dedication to personal development and setting challenging standards for oneself. 2) The processes or strategies to promote self-regulation in learning and lead to excellence consist of three components: cognition, metacognition, and motivation. 3) The conditions or factors that promote self-regulated learning and contribute to student success include personal factors, behavioral factors, and environmental factors. These three factors directly affect the learners and enable them to self-regulate their learning and develop themselves towards excellence. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for further development of self-regulated learning to guide students towards excellence.

Published: November 2024

Latar Belakang: Intubasi endotrakeal dilakukan dalam berbagai situasi seperti kegagalan ventilasi noninvasif pada pasien perawatan intensif. Nyeri tenggorokan (postoperative sore throat) dan suara serak (hoarseness) merupakan komplikasi intubasi endotrakeal yang paling sering terjadi karena menyebabkan trauma mukosa jalan napas. Insiden nyeri tenggorokan dan suara serak akibat intubasi endotrakeal berkisar antara 5,7 – 90%, di mana 14,4 – 50% keluhan nyeri tenggorokan dan suara serak tersebut muncul segera setelah operasi.
Metode: Desain penelitian ini menggunakan uji klinis acak terkontrol tersamar ganda (randomized double blind controlled clinical trial), untuk mengetahui pemberian fentanil dengan kombinasi lidokain dan fentanil terhadap hemodinamik pasca-intubasi endotracheal tube.
Hasil: Usia rerata pada kelompok A yaitu 46-55 tahun, sedangkan pada kelompok B yaitu 26-35 tahun. Penurunan hemodinamik terutama mean arterial pressure (MAP) pasca-intubasi pada kelompok A (89,79 ± 8,74 mmHg) lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan kelompok B (91,81 ± 8,39 mmHg). Peningkatan visual analogue score (VAS) pada sore throat pasca-intubasi pada kelompok B (2,05 ± 0,74) lebih besar daripada kelompok A (1,81 ± 0,68). Pada uji normalitas didapatkan MAP pre-intubasi dan pasca-intubasi, serta sore throat pasca-intubasi terdistribusi normal (p > 0,05). Rerata sore throat kelompok A adalah 1,81 ± 0,68 dan kelompok B 2,05 ± 0,74 dengan nilai p sebesar 0,284 (p > 0,05).
Simpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna sore throat pasca-intubasi pada kedua kelompok. Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna pada hemodinamik dan penilaian nyeri tenggorokan pascaoperasi pada pemberian fentanil dengan kombinasi lidokain intravena dan fentanil intravena pasca-intubasi endotracheal tube.
