Published: April 2024

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) accounts for 18% of maternal deaths worldwide, with an estimated number of about 62, 000–77, 000 deaths occur each year. The current study aimed to assess maternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies complicated by hypertension in Aljala Maternity Hospital. A retrospective, descriptive, case series analysis for four hundred patients was done on the outcome of hypertensive disorder among pregnant women who admitted and were managed at Aljala teaching hospital with preeclampsia during the years 2019 and 2020. Demographic data involving age, parity, gestational week, clinical and laboratory findings were recorded from the medical files. Additionally, delivery route, indications of cesarean section, fetal and maternal complications were determined. The current finding reported high prevalence of perinatal and maternal mortality among pregnant women with preeclampsia. Moreover, other severe maternal and perinatal complications such as Hemolysis Elevated Liver Enzyme Platelet (HELLP) syndrome, placental abruption, eclamptic fits, as well as low birth weight were also commonly reported. The current study showed early onset of preeclampsia was associated with increased risk of developing adverse maternal-fetal/neonatal outcomes compared to late-onset after 36 weeks. Our findings call for special consideration and close surveillance of those women with early-onset diseases.

Total number of 55 patients having placenta previa during the study period, 52.07% of patients were in age group 31-40 years while 15.5% of patients with placenta previa were less than 30 years (p<0.05). Regarding the gestational age, the current study showed that the mean gestational age for the patients who had PP was 37.19 weeks. The result was statistically insignificant with p value of 0.618. Most of the patients had H/O previous cesarean section (15 previous I C/S, 26 previous II C/S, 3 previous III C/S, 2 previous IV C/S, and 1 previous V C/S) which accounts 86.1% of the participated patients. Increased number of caesarean sections significantly associated with PP (p=0.0001). Around two third of women underwent urgent C/S (66%), and the rest of them (34%) had elective type. One third of the patients came with H/O vaginal bleeding. 21% of the patients had a complain of pain (most of them lower abdominal pain). 12.7% of the patients came shocked. Four percent of the participated women underwent hysterectomy, one of them had elective cesarean section. 15% of the patients had intrapartum bleeding, and 24% of the participated women had blood transfusion which reach 6 units in one case. With regard the birth weight, most of the neonates had average birth weight (80.4%). The percentage of low birth weight (LBW) was 9.4%. On the other hand, the percentage of macrosomia (birth weight is above 4.5kg) was 10.2% for the P value 0.737. 41.5% of the neonates had H/O admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. The most of the neonates were with mother (58.5%). There was one neonatal death during the admission in NICU. Placenta previa is danger to both the mother and the baby with high maternal morbidity and adverse perinatal outcome. Regular antenatal care with adequate arrangement of blood transfusion and multidisciplinary approach can reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

Authors: Anam Simpara , Hussain Dr. Riaz
Published: April 2024

DDL has gained widespread attention due to its success in language education. It is a student-centered approach that encourages independent learning as well as the finding of rules and patterns. According to Johns (1988), DDL necessitates a role reversal for both the educators and the pupils involved. Instead of imparting knowledge to students straightforward and unambiguous, the role of the teacher is more like that of a research director and collaborator. The present study aimed to investigate the Teachers’ Perceptions about DDL in ESL classrooms. To meet the objective of the research the researcher used a quantitative research design. Because the study is quantitative, the researcher employed a questionnaire to gather information. Teachers of the Bahawalpur colleges at a postgraduate level were the population of the study. There were thirty teachers in the sample. The data was gathered from respondents using a selective non-random sampling approach. For the analysis of data, the researcher used SPSS software. The tables were designed through SPSS and graphs were formulated through MS Excel. The study's findings demonstrated that although this solution requires far less time and effort from DDL teachers than traditional approaches, it still does. Teachers agreed with the statement that Teaching through the DDL method brings positive changes in ESL learners. The results revealed that Most of the respondents agreed with the statement that, The DDL method of teaching grammar highlights the formal aspects of the target language to the student.DDL materials take a long time to prepare. Although DDL resources are readily available and sufficiently comprehensive toaddress the needs of various defined lessons or situations, their requirements will continue to be one of the most significant barriers preventing their adoption as a standard educational practice.

Authors: Rathod Snehalba , Karelia Bharti , Pillai Ajita
Published: April 2024

Background: One of the cases of accidental injuries is burns. Globally, every year estimated 180,000 mortalities occur due to burns, and most of the deaths are seen in the lower or poor socioeconomic class of developing countries. Due to predominantly poor and low socioeconomic status, overpopulation, poor education, and unreachability to advanced burn care in certain parts of the country - the incidence, complications, and deaths have continued to rise in developing countries. About 75% of the deaths associated with burn injuries are related to wound infection, especially in developing countries. The present study was undertaken to study the microflora of burn wounds as well as drug utilization in the management of burn patients in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Aims and objectives: Assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility and resistant pattern and drug utilization in burns patients.

Materials and Methods: This observational cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 130 hospitalized burn patients over 12 months (from November 2020 to November 2021). All burn patients who were admitted in the hospital and received at least 1 day of treatment were included in the study. All required information, including demographic data, prescribed medication, microbial culture sensitivity report, and treatment outcome were recorded in the case record form. Descriptive statistics using Microsoft Excel version 2019.

Results: Of a total of 130 burn patients, 52% were females. The most common type of burn was flame in 69% of patients. The mean length of hospital stay was 9 days and it ranged from 1 to 40 days. Culture from burns wound revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa (47.6%) as the most common organism isolated followed by Klebsiella pneumoniae (45.2%), Acinetobacter baumannii (14.2%), Proteus mirabilis (14.2%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.5%), and Escherichia coli (4.7%). Among the isolated microorganisms, most of them showed sensitivity to beta-lactam, aminoglycoside, and tetracyclines. Sulphonamide was dominant among the topically applied antibiotics, whereas cephalosporins were dominant among the systemically administered antibiotics. The average number of drugs pre-prescription ranges from 6.5 to 8.5.

Conclusion: The present study results are helpful in understanding the pattern of burns wound sepsis, the dominant bacterial organism, the antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance, and the drug utilization pattern in burn patients.

Background: In the realm of sports, the ability to navigate accurately through a dynamic environment is an important factor for the coordination of speed and balance. Athletes engaged in sports that involve the swift movement of balls or targets, such as catching a baseball or hitting a tennis ball, rely on a complex interplay of perceptual abilities to succeed. Purpose: Construction of a visual anticipation timer to assess and train the anticipatory skills and reaction time. Methods: We conducted a prospective experimental study. Fifty-one subjects were recruited and informed consent was obtained. They underwent a comprehensive eye examination. We excluded subjects with the best corrected visual acuity worse than 6/6, N6, and those with ocular and systemic diseases. We constructed an anticipation timer with LED lights, push buttons, a resistor, and an Arduino board. The lights are placed vertically at a gap of 2.5cm. The participants were asked to anticipate a time when the last LED light would be on and press the button accordingly. The discrepancy between the “exact time” and the participants’ “anticipated time” was quantified as an error. We measured the error count for each participant before and after the training. The same anticipation task was given as training for 15 min. The participants were given a break of 5 min after the training session and before the post-training measurement. Results: The mean age of the 51 participants was 18.51 ± 1.41 years. The Shapiro-Wilk test showed that the data were not normally distributed (W = 0.758; P < 0.001). We performed the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to find the difference in error counts between pre- and post-training sessions. This showed a significant reduction in error count in the post-training values compared to pre-training values. (p = 0.002; z = −3.044). The mean error count for pre- and post-training sessions was 2.22 and 0.90, respectively. Conclusion: The error counts have been significantly reduced in post-training sessions using a constructed anticipation timer. This study shows that repeated task of anticipation improves the accuracy of the anticipation. Anticipation training makes the person react faster and more accurately. Future scope: The constructed instrument is planned for validating different professions and age groups to understand the importance of anticipation and its cognitive involvement.

Published: April 2024

There is a lack of studies on shop sign language from the perspective of Cultural Linguistics. This study contributes to the approach by investigating cultural categories in American English and Vietnamese shop signs. The corpus for analysis includes 1,748 shop signs in the US and 1,585 shop signs in Vietnam. The cultural categories are analyzed and evaluated based on their prototypes and subcategories compared from three dimensions: (1) linguistic expressions and frequency of occurrence, (2) generative capacity (in combination with other categories), and (3) pragmatic meaning (other functions related to communicative reality). The results show certain variations of the cultural categories in the three dimensions between the two speech communities, making each prototype distinctive from others in the same register and its own cross-cultural equivalents. The category variations reflect the two speech communities’ typical psychology, cognition, shared knowledge, and experience.

Authors: Dang Thi Minh Tam , Pham Thuy Quynh
Published: April 2024

Internationally, the trend of student-centered learning in higher education has emphasized the importance of aligning student learning outcomes with corresponding assessment methods. This study is conducted at a university in Vietnam by investigating 32 sets of syllabi and test specifications varied from English Language programs to English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) courses. The findings reveal that a lack of precision in verb usage within learning outcomes can introduce ambiguity, potentially hindering the effectiveness of both teaching and assessment. The study also highlights the significance of balancing the quantities of requirements within a single learning outcome to foster a positive and manageable learning experience. As a result, it is believed that a careful selection of verbs in writing learning outcomes, coupled with a balanced approach to requirements, can contribute to a more coherent and effective curriculum within linguistic programs.
Underground Economy And Taxation Of Prostitution (Literature Study In Indonesia)
Authors: Al Hazmi Raldin Alif
Published: April 2024

Prostitution is actually an undergorund economy that is difficult to detect, because every commercial sex worker in this business is difficult to distinguish from ordinary people in general. In terms of taxation, tax is designed not to recognise assets obtained from legal activities, and from illegal activities, no matter whether the income is obtained from corruption, prostitution, human trafficking, illegal arms trade and even narcotics. As long as it is known that there is an increase in income or enjoyment, the state has the right to collect taxes. However, the relationship between prostitution and taxes is very sensitive. Prostitution business has a huge potential. Exploring the potential of this business if done massively will increase tax revenue significantly, but there is a trade off that DJP must face. In this case, DJP must also use the moral point of view prevailing in society. Taxing something illegal and immoral will indirectly give an opinion to the public that the state legalises the activity.
