Manfaat Doa Dalam Problematika Tokoh-tokoh Alkitab
Authors: Ari Kawalo Kres
Published: February 2022

Ketika keterbatasan kekuatan dalam melakukan tugas, manusia akan tertekan dan tak dapat berbuat apa-apa lagi. Saat ketakutan terhadap hukuman Allah bagi diri sendiri maupun sesama manusia membuat manusia mengingat Allah sebagai Tuhan yang berbelas kasihan. Tatkala relasi yang dibangun dengan Allah rusak karena dosa, maka doa tidak akan bermanfaat menjadi jalan keluar terbaik dalam menyelesaikan problematika manusia. Komunikasi yang rusak antara manusia dengan Allah menyebabkan manusia tidak dapat merasakan dan melihat manfaat doa. Semua orang bisa berdoa, namun belum tentu manfaat doa nyata. Tujuan penelitian ini memberikan informasi hal-hal apa saja yang membuat doa dapat bermanfaat dalam kehidupan manusia dan hambatan doa dalam kehidupan manusia. Penulis menelaah kehidupan beberapa tokoh Alkitab sebagai representatif dalam kehidupan manusia umumnya. Metodologi penelitian dalam penulisan ini adalah kualitatif. Penulis mengumpulkan data tertulis dalam Alkitab, buku, dan jurnal yang berkaitan dengan permasalahan penelitian. Dari hasil penelitian dijelaskan bahwa, doa memiliki manfaat dalam problematika manusia jika dilakukan dengan benar, sebaliknya doa akan terhambat jika tidak sesuai kehendak Tuhan. Maka berdoalah dengan benar kepada Tuhan, dan doa yang benar dan berkenan kepada Allah akan memberi jawaban dan pemecahan masalah kehidupan manusia.

Published: February 2022

The study examines human potential, which is one of the most valuable resources for regional development. The article provides a methodology for assessing the sustainability of development by the factor of human potential based on changes in the competitive attractiveness and rating positions of regions. A mathematically described criterion for the sustainability of human development is proposed. The technique used is verified on the statistical material of the regions of Russia for the period 2016-2019 by 10 indicators. Groups of stable and unstable regions are distinguished according to the factor of human potential, depending on the criterion of sustainability.
Metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk assessed by Framingham’s score: A study with soldiers of the military police of the State of Bahia, Brazil
Authors: Romário Teixeira Braga Filho  , Argemiro D'Oliveira Júnior
Published: February 2022

Being a man is considered a risk factor for illness and death from cardiovascular causes; men in general have a lower life expectancy than women and higher mortality from all causes not related to sex in all age groups. The military policemen profession is recognized as full of stress and has high levels of professional victimization. Military Police Corporations are mostly formed by men, and the study of the health of the military policemen can be considered equivalent activity to the study of the health of men. This present study is part of the first author’s doctoral thesis work whose theme was focused on the health of men; it was studied a convenience sample of 452 soldiers, selected by personnel administration by working time criterion, to submit to Corporals Training Course. It was sought to characterize the cardiovascular risk factors and prevalence of metabolic syndrome; cardiovascular risk was also assessed by applying the Framingham’s score; it was found a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the studied group, with emphasis on hypertension (52.55%) and hypertriglyceridemia (46.34%), the metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 35.03%. Cardiovascular risk by Framingham’s score showed strata of medium and high risk more frequent in individuals with metabolic syndrome than in those without the syndrome. The risk of a cardiovascular event in 10 years in the group with middle and high level of risk was also more frequent among individuals in the older (= or> 45 years) than in the younger group (<45 years). It is concluded that there’s a high prevalence of cardiovascular risks in the studied group, and that there’s a need for continued attention directed to integral health care of men in the military police corps.
Warding Off the Ghosts of Race in the Historiography of Philosophy
Authors: Mercier Lucie Kim-Chi
Published: February 2022

This article contends that an adequate investigation of the role and effects of race in the history of philosophy requires an elucidation of the ways in which the history of philosophy functions as a “territorial” structure. This argument is developed through an extensive cross-examination of Peter Park's Africa, Asia and the History of Philosophy: Racism in the Formation of the Philosophical Canon 1780–1830 (2013) and Catherine König-Pralong's La colonie philosophique. Écrire l'histoire de la philosophie aux XVIIIe et XIXe siècles (2019). I show that although the two studies inquire into the fixation of the history of philosophy on Europe that took place in German and French philosophy at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, they do so via different explanatory frameworks, highlighting diverging critical strategies in the dismantling of Eurocentrism in the discipline. In the final part I contrast three broad critical strategies against the Eurocentric orientation of the historiography of philosophy based on opposite problematizations of the territoriality of the history of philosophy: the territory as (1) jurisdiction, (2) relational field, and (3) space of address.

Published: February 2022

In this paper, fnite element was used to study the behavior of micropile. The model was developed using PLAXIS 3D foundation program. Micropiles are tested by the static axial load testing of individual piles. In the FE-analysis the pile is assumed to be linear elastic and for the subsoil is assumed as Mohr-Coulomb model. The model was developed to simulate the micropiles type A where the grouting is applied by gravity. This modeliscompared with the results of the pile load test. A good agreement was obtained with the experimental results. Finally the failure pattern was investigated.
Numerical Simulations for Analysis of Face Stability of Tunnelling
Authors: Atta Elmanan A. M. , Elarabi H.
Published: February 2022

The aim of this paper is to evaluate numerical procedures that are used for analysis of face stability of a tunnelling. Two-dimensional (2D) and threedimensional (3D) Finite Element (FE) modelling of the Second Heinenoord Tunnel in Netherlands were done by using PLAXIS programs. The models were simulated the tunnel boring machine (TBM) with shell element and the slurry pressure with applied face pressure that measured in the site from the literature. Two methods were used to determine the situation of face failure. The first method was done by reducing the applied face pressure until the failure of the face was occurred, so the minimum required face pressure was determined. The second one was done by reducing the shear strength of the soil until the face failure, so the safety factor was determined. Both methods were applied for 2D and 3D FE-modelling. The results were presented and discussed. Also, the results of the minimum required support pressure were compared to the result of the centrifugal test model for the Second Heinenoord Tunnel found in literature. It was found that, the reducing applied face pressure method is much better than the reducing shear strength method. Also, the result of 3D FE-modelling gave better prediction when comparing with the experimental result .

Preservice Teachers’ Pedagogical Mobility: A Case Study about Classroom Preparedness and Flexibility in a Disrupted Professional Placement Context
Authors: Plessis Anna Elizabeth Du , Chung Joey
Published: February 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the contextual matters of education at all levels, for example, geographic location, community engagement in education and socioeconomic factors, to mention some contextual matters. Awareness of these matters stimulates critical reflections on the depth of preservice teachers’ pedagogical content and pedagogical knowledge. This paper examines preservice teachers’ pedagogical mobility in periods that rely on disruptive innovation. Preservice teachers’ placement settings changed rapidly because of COVID-19 regulations which impacted face-to-face and online teaching and learning environments. This investigation focused on professional learning under the ambit of teacher education, which up to now has been focused on face-to-face teaching pedagogies. The rapidly changing context has made the classroom the pedagogical anchor of education theory and practice. Using a reflective case study approach, we investigated (a) preservice teachers’ pedagogical challenges, (b) the meaning of pedagogical flexibility and innovative pedagogical mobility, and (c) the application of teacher performance and teaching standards in a teaching and learning environment affected by COVID-19. The critical self-reflective narratives offer insight into lived experiences and multiple contextual challenges that raise questions about well-prepared preservice teachers.

Published: February 2022

This study aimed at figuring out the effect of full e-learning on the students’ academic performance in accounting courses, which include multiple mathematical calculations compared with the English Language courses, which are free of mathematical calculations. A questionnaire was designed and distributed among a random sample of students during the second semester of the academic year 2019-2020, during which full e-learning was implemented due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The sample included (302) out of (1411) male and female students at the Department of Administrative Sciences, whose major is accounting and business administration. Besides, they study English language as part of the general courses at the Community College in Khamis Mushait. The study found that, there is a statistically significant effect regarding the features of full e-learning on the students’ academic performance with respect to the accounting and English Language courses. The problems related to e-learning did not affect the students' academic performance in accounting courses, while it impacted negatively on the students' academic performance in the English language courses. The study recommended that, the educational institutions should continuously develop the e-learning atmosphere in order to become conducive, attractive and creative.

From the upper air data recorded by the Russian research vessels and the Indian ships in the Bay of Bengal during July 1979 under Monex-79 programme, the radio refractive indices (RRI) valid for surface, 850, 700 and 500 mb were calculated. The time and space variations have been discussed. The comparison of RRI values from observations at a coastal station and from a ship in the mid seas at the same latitude is interesting.
On the role of large scale energetics in the onset and maintenance of summer monsoon -I: Moisture budget
Authors: MOHANTY U. C. , DUBE S. K. , SINHA P. C.
Published: February 2022

The effect of large scale moisture and moist static energy (MSE) budget on the onset and activities of summer monsoon is investigated. The data base for this study consists of twice daily First GARP Global Experiment (FGGE) level IIIb analysis of temperature, relative humidity, geopotential and wind fields for a tropical belt from 20 deg. S to 40 deg. Nand 0 deg. E to 150 deg. E, during May-July 1979.

 

The daily variation, vertical distribution and period averages of the various terms in latent heat energy (LHE) and MSE budget equation are closely examined to find out their influence on the activities of monsoon. The study indicates significant increase in the net LHE, horizontal. Convergence of moisture and diabatic moisture sink (indicator of excess condensation than evaporation) about two week before the onset pf monsoon over Kerala coast. Further, a decreasing trend is observed in horizontal convergence of moisture and moisture sink about one week before the break monsoon condition, which started over India on 16 July 1979. However, the various terms of the MSE budget equation do not depict my significant trend with the advance of the monsoon. The vertical distribution, period averages and the boundary fluxes also confirm the above findings.

Published: February 2022

The response of the upper oceanic subsurface thermal structure to the summer monsoonal forcing over Bay of Bengal in the temporal domain of May, June and July of 1979 at selected stationary ship positions has been investigated with the aid of surface marine meteorological and bathythermograph data collected during MONEX-79. Forcing of a severe pre-monsoon cyclonic storm on the ocean surface mixed layer characteristics is documented. Surface heat exchange components, vertical thermal gradient just below mixed layer are made use of to explain the observed variability in the surface mixed layer characteristics. Depth-time fields of temperature of the upper 200 m water column are analysed and discussed.

Authors: DUBE R. K. , SRIVASTAVA H. N.
Published: February 2022

Seismicity variations associated with four recent earthquakes in eastern Kashmir and adjoining Himachal Pradesh have been studied with the help of closely spaced seismological network in the region. It was noticed that earthquakes of August 1980 in Bhaddu and Malar regions of Jammu province and two other earthquakes (1973, 1976) in adjoining western Himachal Pradesh occurred in a region of low seismic activity. These earthquakes of magnitude 4 to 5 were preceded by anomalous seismic activity with the precursory duration ranging from 3 to 7 years. Fault plane solutions of two earthquakes of 23 August 1980 (21 h 36 m 52.3 s) and 7 January 1976 show thrust fault and are associated with the main-boundary fault in the region. However, the second earthquake of 23 August 1980 ( 21 h 50 m 02.90 s) appears to be associated with Surin-Mustgarh anticline.

Frameworks for Practice
Authors: Stead Robyn
Published: February 2022

This study investigates the types of assessment models used by registered psychologists employed by Ministry of Education: Special Education (MOE:SE) who work in the area of severe and challenging behaviour. The aim of the study was to identify and explore frameworks for practice which are currently used at MOE:SE; the theories which underpin these as well as which aspects of the frameworks were supportive of multi-agency/multi- disciplinary work.
A semi-structured interview format was used to encourage participants to discuss the frameworks and theories which they use during practice in the field. The participants were six randomly-chosen registered psychologists who work at MOE:SE.
While responses varied, the most commonly reported frameworks for practice were Effective Interventions for Behaviour Challenges, Functional Behavioural Assessment and Situational Analysis. The theories which the participants reported as underpinning their practice were also diverse, although behavioural theory was reportedly used by all participants. Collaboration was reported most often as being a supportive aspect of frameworks which were used during inter-disciplinary/ inter-agency work.

Special Education 2000 Policy: Our Leaky Home?
Authors: Coleman Peter
Published: February 2022

The Ministry of Education’s special education policy (commonly referred to as SE2000) has been progressively implemented since 1996. Although it is a funding rather than a professional-practice policy, it has had some negative and unintended consequences for the practice of educational psychology, for special education and it is suggested, for education generally. This paper explores the development, implementation and adaptations of SE2000, and the practical outcomes for children with special education needs. Through day-to-day and perhaps unquestioned use by educators (e.g. we now comfortably talk about “ORS” and “SLS” pupils); SE2000 has become legitimised as a de facto diagnostic framework. It will be argued that it conforms rather more to a layperson’s understandings of special education taxonomies with all of the distortions and misunderstandings that this creates, than to a scientifically rigorous framework. SE2000 is well overdue for a scholarly review but the Ministry of Education (and it must be acknowledged both major political parties) have been reluctant to authorise or accept the need for a functional analysis of the professional activities that are supported by the policy, and the corresponding outcomes of it. The fact that the number of adaptations and additions to SE2000 (often referred to as “Initiatives”) has steadily grown over the years, suggests that the basic framework is inherently flawed. It will be argued that any attempt to validate such taxonomies is probably doomed to fail and that children would be better served by a needs-based rather than a category-based funding arrangement.
How Aligned Are We? Assessment Procedures and Practices Between Early Childhood and Early Intervention.
Authors: Caulcutt Toia , Paki Vanessa
Published: February 2022

Early intervention and early childhood share a unique space in our early years education in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The assessment practices of the two are distinctively different and specific to each discipline. As assessment is a powerful agent for change and responsiveness to learners this article will unpack the reasoning behind these differences and consider the possibility of addressing a possible alignment through the early childhood curriculum Te Wha ̄riki (Ministry of Education, 1996).
‘Mainstreaming’ Te Reo Māori: Beyond Indifference and Tokenism in the Classroom.
Authors: Ngapo Koro
Published: February 2022

This paper examines why Maori language needs to be taught accurately at the early stages of initial teacher education programmes and continue for the duration of a teacher education student’s degree.
If teacher education faculties are permitting their students to mispronounce Maori names or words, they are in fact doing a disservice, not only to the Maori language, but also to the students destined to teach in English medium schools and the children who attend these schools.

This paper defines some of the challenges and questions in regards to the inadequate fostering of the Maori language in many initial teacher education programmes and what needs to be done to rectify this situation. This paper also covers the state of the Maori language, attitudes towards it and strategies for teachers to use in a mainstream teaching setting.

Learning and Change Networks.
Authors: Annan Jean , Carpenter Rose
Published: February 2022

The Learning and Change Network Strategy (LCN) was developed to raise students’ achievement by appreciating, extending and enriching their learning environments. Throughout New Zealand there are 53 voluntary, networked communities of practice. They involve the active participation of students, teachers, parents, school leaders and community members from early childhood centres and primary, intermediate, secondary, and special education schools. Together the participants explore learning environments in relation to mutually-understood achievement challenges and make changes based on unique, contextually-specific analyses. Networks are observing impacts of this change on student outcomes and the practice of all participants. They have noticed that many children have made academic gains, collaboration within and between schools and communities has increased, and teachers, parents and students themselves have gained new insights into the students’ learning. Schools have benefited from the broadening of leadership and evaluative capability of staff and the transfer of in-depth methods of inquiry into school initiatives.
Expanding on the Meanings of Empathy in the Classroom: Seeing Through a Cultural Lens.
Authors: Duncan Wayne , Macfarlane Angus , Quinlivan Kathleen , Macfarlane Sonja
Published: February 2022

This paper explores the factors that may influence the social and relational development of empathy in a Year 13 classroom from a kaupapa Maˉori perspective, and discusses how these factors compare with a Western perspective of empathy. Understandings of empathy are widely documented in the conventional literature and, while the realities pertaining to empathy have been part of the fabric of Te Ao Maˉori (the Maˉori World), there has not been satisfactory levels of understanding by Western social scientists. It is proposed in this study that viewing empathy, through a bicultural lens, may provide relevant and meaningful understandings of empathy for both partners to the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. This study explores the heuristic understandings of how the research participants experienced culturally-sensitive understandings of empathy within their face-to-face classroom interactions. The understandings of 14 students and their teacher were analysed through the Maˉori concepts of manaakitanga, kotahitanga, rangatiratanga, whanaungatanga and puˉmanawatanga; constructs that underpin Macfarlane’s (2004) Educultural Wheel. Adopting a qualitative case study methodology, the participants engaged in an iterative dialogical research strategy based on Gadamer’s hermeneutics (1975, 2001). This iterative research strategy enabled the students and their teacher to co-construct their developing understandings with the researcher, over time. Data collection occurred over a six-month period and comprised: 14 initial one-on-one interviews with students and the teacher; one student focus-group interview, and individual respondent-validation interviews with, respectively, 12 students and one teacher. Classroom participant observations, students’ written diaries and researcher field notes enriched the interview data. Factors identified by the research participants affecting the development of empathy from kaupapa Maˉori perspectives are presented, and the relation to Western perspectives are discussed. The findings indicate the importance of social engagements that are founded on an ethic-of-care (manaakitanga) and are duly focused on taking an interest in the individual. The findings of the study may be helpful in informing the development of more equitable and culturally-responsive educational practices (Castagno & Brayboy, 2008).
Bullying: What do parents say?
Authors: Carroll-Lind Janis , Kearney Alison
Published: February 2022

Bullying occurs in most schools and happens to students no matter how capable, popular and well-adjusted they are. This paper reports on a study that examines the nature and extent of bullying and explores the context of bullying and school violence in New Zealand schools. Approximately 1370 students from seven primary and three secondary schools participated in the study. Using a survey approach, a questionnaire was designed to examine the prevalence and incidence of different types of bullying; the nature of the actual bullying and where it is most likely to happen: schools responses to bullying, including the issues of reporting and why students choose not to tell. Results indicate that all of the participating schools reported bullying to a greater or lesser extent. Listening to the voices of students in this study extends understanding of the issues around bullying. The results led to recommendations based on issues of policy, supervision (particularly in the areas Identified by the students as being hot spots) and the need to communicate with an emphasis on reporting and the need to create a culture of "safe telling" to ensure safe emotional learning environments for all students.

Whiti ki runga! Gifted and talented Maori learners.
Authors: Macfarlane Angus , Motlzen Roger
Published: February 2022

The importance of identifying and nurturing the gifts and talents of young people is now more widely accepted in New Zealand than it has been in the past. In this country the approach to meeting this challenge must reflect an understanding and acknowledgement of Maori conceptions of giftedness and talent. It is proposed here that the under-representation of Maori students in programmes and provisions for the gifted and talented is partly due to a mismatch between the more traditional western European approaches in this area and Maori conceptions and practices. However, it is also contended that efforts in this area will continue to disadvantage gifted and talented Maori students if the broader issues of power and control are not addressed in schools.

Authors: Margrain Valerie
Published: February 2022

This article reports some of the findings of a study involving 11 New Zealand4-year-old precocious readers (Margrain, 2005). The children, aged between 4:01 and 4:101 had reading ages three to nine years above their chronological age. Assessment of precocious reading abilities is discussed, including how assessment findings are influenced by the beliefs of the assessor, and choices of assessment tools. The study found that there were differences between the practices and beliefs of the researcher and parents compared to early childhood and new entrant teachers. This article provides recommendations for practice, relating toassessment practices and beliefs. These recommendations are pertinent to support working with precocious readers, but also more widely to other gifted learners.

Music therapy in special education. Where are we now?
Authors: Rickson Daphne , McFerran Katrina
Published: February 2022

Research is an essential aspect of the music therapy profession. Practice is grounded in theoretical frameworks based on research studies and the evaluation of clinical interventions. Early research drew heavily on behavioural principles, observing measurable change in response to musical interventions. As the profession gained stature, music therapy researchers also began to ask questions requiring in-depth qualitative analysis. Nevertheless, ready acceptance and appreciation of music therapy as a valid service within special education settings in both Australia and New Zealand is variable. Music therapists continue to be challenged to demonstrate the effectiveness of music therapy. The current article outlines the historical precedent for a likely increase in qualitative emphasis, and describes the current knowledge base generated through the literature on the topic of music therapy in special education. It also explores the need for new research in the evidence-based framework and proposes a research path for future studies.

The poverty gap index in Aceh Province during the 2017-2019 period tends to decrease. This study aims to determine the appropriate modelling in finding the factors that affect the poverty gap index in Aceh Province. The data used is secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency for Aceh Province from 2017-2019. The dependent variable used is the poverty gap index (P1). Meanwhile, the independent variables are the open unemployment rate, crime rate, dependency ratio and sex ratio. The best model obtained is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The factors that influence the poverty gap index are the dependency ratio, while the open unemployment rate, crime rate and sex ratio do not affect the poverty gap index.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Acquisition of Mother Language and Child Intelligence together on Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes. The results showed the effect of mother tongue acquisition and children's intelligence together on Indonesian learning outcomes with the regression equation Ŷ = 9.120 + 1.654X1 + 0.338X2, with a correlation coefficient = 0.884 with a significance level of  = 5% and the determinant coefficient = 78,10%. From the regression equation, it can be interpreted that the Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes score. The constant value = 9,120 indicates that the lowest mother tongue language acquisition (X1) and children's intelligence (X2) conditions do not allow the child to obtain high Indonesian Language Learning Outcomes (Y). The test results obtained regression coefficients of 1.654 and 0.338 indicating a positive effect. From the analysis of the scores on the Indonesian learning test results show that learninglanguage in Kindergarten is less directed towards developing language skills as a whole, but rather emphasizes receptive abilities; listening and reading are relatively good, while the ability is productive; speaking and writing is very lacking, because the child can speak fluently when doing free speech, but when talking is based on lesson themes, the child's speaking ability is a bit choked up, so is writing, because it is only intended to train the child's fine motor skills not intended to develop language skills.

Science and religion are interesting topics to discuss, because science and religion are often contradicted in the history of their development to date. The purpose of this research is to look at the position of science and religion by reaffirming the truth of religion, especially the Bible as the Word of God towards science. The research method used is a qualitative method with a systematic literature study using the approach of Ian G. Barbour and John F. Hought. Barbour's approach relates science and religion to four types of conflict, independent, dialogue, and integration relationships, while Hought uses four types of conflict, contrast, contact, and confirmation relationships. Based on Barbour and Hought's approach, it can be resulted that science has limitations so that religion must still be the umbrella of science, so that this confirms the truth of religion towards science. Conclusion of this research can be an enlightenment in the midst of different views regarding the creation of the universe according to the views of science and religion through the approach of Barbour and Hought who are scientists as well as theologians so that it can be seen more objectively. The Bible must still be believed to be the highest truth in the midst of the progress of scientific development.

Although online learning is a must in EFL teaching contexts nowadays, not all freshmen can make progress from it, especially in the English speaking skill. Therefore, this study aims to explore freshmen's online learning difficulties in English speaking skills and find out the solutions. The study involved about 120 non-English majors at some universities, including Nong Lam University, Banking University of Ho Chi Minh City, Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnamese National University - School of Medicine, International University, and Van Lang University in answering a questionnaire. The results showed that learning online does not bring more progress in English speaking skills than the offline learning mode. The results further indicated that although the students are familiar with the online learning mode, they still have problems during their learning, especially with their concentration and interaction. Findings are hoped to contribute to a better understanding of non-English majors' difficulties in the online environment. Then, a solution of adopting Miro integrated into Microsoft Teams is suggested to partly help enhance the students- students' interaction to increase the students' progress in speaking skills when learning online.

Objective: To observe the association of chronic hypertension in pregnant women on their health and fetal outcome. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out from September 2019 to September 2020 upon a sample of 183 consenting pregnant women (chosen via non-probability – consecutive sampling) aged 20 – 35 years admitted to the study setting via OPD and emergency at Gynae Unit IV, Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences, Jamshoro (LUMHS). The data obtained was recorded on structured questionnaire comprising of inquiries pertaining to basic biodata, sociodemographic details, inferences obtained from history, clinical examination, and blood pressure. Data obtained was analyzed using SPSS V. 21.0.
Results: The mean age of the women was 24 years ±3 SD. The mean gestational age was 38 weeks (±1 SD). A majority of the participants hailed from an urban background and most presented as booked elective cases (normal delivery more often than cesarean delivery). Chronic hypertension (mean value 134/92) was present among 38.8% of the study participants. Poor maternal and fetal outcome were encountered among patients with chronic hypertension.
Conclusion: A heavy burden of chronic hypertension was unearthed by this study which consisted of around 2/5th of whole sample. Adverse maternal outcomes including postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia & spontaneous abortion and fetal (low birth weight & neonatal deaths complications were strongly associated with chronic hypertension.

Objective: To observe the effect of rivaroxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation due to valvular heart diseases for proper anticoagulation to avoid stroke. 
Methodology: An observational follow up study was carried out in Cardiology Department of Aziz Fatimah Hospital, Faisalabad from February to August 2021. The study included 36 patients of valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation on warfarin, whose INR was not tested during the last 4 months due to lack of facility nearby. All patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation were excluded .All patients were given rivaroxaban to replace warfarin. These patients were followed up for 6 months in the OPD of the same hospital to observe the end points including stroke and bleeding episodes and ischemic changes on ECG.
Results: Total of 36 patients of mean age and SD of 56±7.00 years were followed up. Out of which 20 were male and 16 were female subjects.Not a single incident of stroke or bleeding episode or bruises was observed during the 6 month follow up.  On echocardiographic examination, none of the patients showed clot in the left atrium. Left atrium size and LV ejection fraction remained the same, during next visit. LA size 44±5 and 44±6 on 1st and second visit respectively (p value =0.059) No other ischemic changes found in the ECG of any patient. International normalization ratio (INR) mean and SD was  2.1± 0.9, 2.2± 0.8, on 1st and 2nd visit of follow up respectively and no significant difference was noted between INR values.
Conclusion: Rivaroxaban can be given safely to the patients with valvular heart disease with atrial fibrillation, particularly in patients who cannot get the INR checked on regular basis.
