Authors: Shah Mutahir , Ullah Saif , Ali Khan Sufian , A. Naroo Shehzad
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic lead to many countries implementing a population lockdown. This study was designed to investigate the myopic changes that occurred during lockdown due to the COVID19 pandemic in Pakistan. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study, was conducted on patients presenting to the out-patients department with symptoms suggesting a refractive problem. Subjects with a Mean Spherical Equivalent (MSE) level of myopia of at least -0.50DS were included. The second group of subjects that had emmetropia (MSE between -0.25DS and +0.25DS) was recruited. All subjects (including adults) underwent cycloplegic refraction and used objective and subjective techniques, to exclude any pseudo-myopia due to accommodation. Results: A total of 900 subjects were enrolled from 4 to 24 years. The myopia group consisted of 473 subjects (256 females) and the emmetropia group consisted of 427 subjects (224 females). There was no statistical difference in the ages of the groups. Both groups showed an increase in their level of myopia, which was statistically higher in the emmetropic group (p<0.001). Further analysis was conducted, splitting the subjects into four age groups: 4-8 years; 9-12 years; 13-19 years; and 19-24 years. All age groups showed an increase in the magnitude of myopia, with the oldest age group showing the least increase, which was statistically significant (p<0.005). Conclusions: An increase in the magnitude of myopia was seen in all subjects and across all age groups, but more so in the younger subjects.
The Politics of Alliances During Ayub's Era of Controlled Democracy (1958-1969)
Authors: Khan Iltaf , Safina  , Quresh Attia
Published: September 2022

The political system of Pakistan is comprised of a multi-party system; therefore, the formation of alliances and counter alliances by the political parties is a common feature of its political culture. Pakistan's political history reveals that alliances are formed against authoritarian military regimes.The alliances were also formed to cope with the civilian administration of popular leaders, as they are accused of benefiting from rigged elections, and authoritarian policies and being responsible for the economic crisis. During the military regime of Ayub Khan, the opposition alliances succeeded in removing Field Marshal Ayub Khan from the presidency as he failed to cope with its pressure in the late 1960s. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of these political alliances during the martial law regime of Ayub Khan.To what extent are they sincere in their cause of developing a viable political system in the country? What circumstances led to the formation of these alliances? What was the impact of these alliances on the Pakistani political spectrum? The present study has attempted to answer some of these questions.
Social and Political Suppression of Common People in the Current Developing Countries in the Context of George Orwell's Novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)

Published: September 2022

The study examines the nexus of the ruling party's slogans in the state of Oceania, "war is peace, ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery" in George Orwell's novel 1984 to the present societies in developing countries, using the lens of Marxism. Sufyan Al-Dmour states; Three different classes are present in the depicted novel: the ruling class, which is echoed by the Inner Party; Outer Party represents the middle class, the Proles consist of the working class (SufyanAl-Dmour, 2020). The class system is dominating all over the world, specifically in developing countries. MacCartney and Zaidi argue; It was the military-bureaucratic control of a few influential figures, with the three classes which kept what can be called Pakistan's political setup. (McCartney, Zaidi, 2019). Common people in 1984 were severely penalized for who exerted to think or act differently. The pertinence of the slogan "freedom is slavery" in 1984 is still dominant in developing societies.

Published: September 2022

Aim of the study was to find out the relationship between anxiety with academic performance of undergraduate university students. The study was conducted for the objectives; (i) to find out the anxiety level of undergraduate university students. (ii) to identify the level of achievement scores (GPA) and co-curricular activities of undergraduate university students, and (iii) to find out the relationship between anxiety and academic performance of undergraduate university students. A sample of 408, including 195 male and 213 female 2nd-semester undergraduate BS students from 12 different departments out of 4 faculties of the University of the Sargodha, taking 34 students from each department, were selected through multistage random sampling techniques. Two instruments, anxiety scale and performance checklists, were developed to collect data from students. Research instruments were validated through experts' opinions, pilot testing was done, and the reliability coefficient Cronbach Alpha value for the anxiety scale was .832. Frequencies, mean, standard deviation, t-tests and Pearson correlation were used for data analysis. There was a weak and negative relationship between anxiety and achievement scores of undergraduate university students whereas. But there was a significant but weak and negative relationship between anxiety and achievement scores and co-curricular activities of undergraduate university students. So it is recommended that teachers of the university may integrate activities in their classroom teaching to keep students involved and reduce anxiety.
Variability in the age of schooling contributes to the link between literacy and numeracy in Côte d’Ivoire (Draft)
Authors: Whitehead Hannah , Ball Mary-Claire , Brice Henry , Wolf Sharon , Kembou Samuel , Ogan Amy , Jasińska Kaja Kinga
Published: September 2022

Literacy and numeracy are correlated throughout development, however our understanding of this relation is limited. We explored the predictors of literacy and numeracy covariance (i.e., shared fluency between literacy and numeracy) in children (N=1167, girls=563) in rural Côte d’Ivoire, with specific focus on how developmental timing of instruction may relate to covariance. Many Ivorian children experience late enrollment and grade repetition, leading to variation in age-for-grade; participants were between grades 1 to 6 but their ages ranged from 5 to 15 (M=9.19, SD=2.07). Phonological awareness, numerical magnitude, ordinality, working memory, and inhibitory control were cognitive predictors of covariance. Age-for-grade was negatively related to covariance suggesting that covariance is related to timing of instruction.

Complementariedad o falsos dilemas de lo cualitativo y lo cuantitativo en la investigación
Authors: Rolón Rodríguez Blanca Mery
Published: September 2022

A través de la historia, la búsqueda de respuestas a lo desconocido ha sido objeto permanente de estudio, que ha llevado al hombre a confrontaciones socioculturales para obtener esa verdad que se sujeta a los conocimientos empíricos y científicos. La investigación ha sido una permanente estrategia que se ha enfilado desde el pensamiento positivista. Tamayo (2004), la define: “un proceso que, mediante la aplicación del método científico, procura obtener información relevante y fidedigna, para entender, verificar, corregir o aplicar el conocimiento” (p. 37). Según Alan y Cortez (2018), “la investigación científica es proceso reflexivo y metódico que ha permitido un contacto profundo con la realidad para su entendimiento, consiguiendo de esta forma la creación de nuevos conocimientos” (p.14). Por su parte, Hernández et al. (2014) acotan al respecto de la investigación: “el conjunto de procesos sistemáticos, críticos y empíricos que se aplican al estudio de un fenómeno o problema” (p. 18), con especificación concreta de los procedimientos que son necesarios para lograr este fin.

Improving Measurement of Public Objective Knowledge About Hazards
Authors: Johnson Branden
Published: September 2022

Attempts to measure objective knowledge (OK) of publics about hazards have been motivated by such questions as what do people know about the topic and why; whether and how such knowledge affects attitudes and behaviors regarding hazards; and whether a public information campaign changes knowledge or behaviors. These choices vary widely both within risk analysis and in related fields (e.g., science literacy; health literacy). The aim of this Perspective is to suggest that OK can be measured effectively if with several challenges, but that does not happen consistently, and even the best examples could be improved with several steps. After a brief review of variability in the literature in terms of how OK is defined and what outcomes it might be associated with, I review several challenges faced by OK measurement: knowledge sources, content salience, content timing, scale discrimination ability and dimensionality, and response options and scoring. Although the full suite of challenges is of concern, I focus particularly on novel hazards for which the scientific basis for much definition of “objective” knowledge is shifting rapidly, illustrated by the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. I conclude with several recommendations for addressing these challenges so that OK can be better measured, and thus theorists and risk communication practitioners can both better grasp when and how OK makes a difference in attitudes and behavior relevant to hazards.

Background: Toddlers are children under five years of age marked by a very rapid growth and development process. Infancy is a period that is vulnerable to disease, especially nutritional problems. One of the factors not utilizing integrated healthcare centers regularly will affect the nutritional status of toddlers so that toddlers will experience malnutrition. This is because mothers cannot monitor the growth and development of toddlers if the occurrence of nutritional problems in toddlers cannot be detected early. Objective: The study determined the relationship between maternal behavior regarding the use of integrated healthcare centers with nutritional status in toddlers. Methods: literature review design, Google Scholar data source (2017-2020), articles using Indonesian language, with a population of mothers of toddlers and toddlers. From the search results, the study obtained six inclusion criteria. The research design used was a cross-sectional, descriptive correlation. Results: A total of six articles analyzed stated a relationship between mother's behavior regarding the use of integrated healthcare centers with nutritional status in toddlers. (p-value 0.000 < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the study results, six articles stated a relationship between maternal behavior regarding the use of integrated service posts with nutritional status in toddlers. Factors that affect the nutritional status of children under five are the mother's behavior in the use of integrated service posts; this is because in the use of integrated healthcare centers, there is weighing of children under five, counseling on nutrition, Supplementary Food Provision (PTM) and early detection through Cards Towards Health (KMS) which supports the improvement of nutrition in toddlers and optimal growth.
The method of trust level of publications hosted in virtual communities
Authors: Synko Anna
Published: September 2022

The proposed model of data collection and analysis from thematic virtual communities using known information analysis techniques: scoring and parsing. Open communities were selected for the study, namely their architecture and main components: information content (title, description, posts, topics of the event) and audience (community members). To select relevant, informative, reliable publications, the scoring method is used which reflects the level of trust of the authors of the publication in the form of weighted indicators of a set of certain characteristics. Data collection is a combined approach, as virtual communities are dynamic in the content of the data and their content depends on the actions of the participants. To parse posts from virtual communities, it was decided to use ImportXML function in Microsoft Excel, which allows you to collect data from different sources, and then sample, analyze, and select the presentation of results using other built-in tools of this program.

Published: September 2022

An analysis of the well-known distance education systems was made, which allowed us to highlight their advantages and disadvantages and identify some ways to improve the program by adding adaptive functionality and interactivity, aimed at improving the educational process quality. An interface for working with the system for different groups of users (students, teachers, developers) has been developed whose use allows you to download study materials and test tasks conveniently, to edit and adapt some meaningful links between information sections (Units), to pass training and test control, to form final reports of success and recommendations for further learning steps. The multi-set method of assessing the level of study of content units was described and the adaptive functionality of forming the content of educational lectures for review or in-depth mastering of the theoretical content was presented, which allows taking into account the initial level of student knowledge and his/her abilities to acquire new skills. The software has been improved with a system based on PWA (Progressive web app) technology, which has allowed us to realize such advantages of web applications as speed, convenience, and attractiveness. A technology of text questions and correspondent information units connection was proposed which was based on the theory of multiple approach use which has provided us with the mathematical determination of the indices of the unmastered pieces of knowledge which generate the text part of the adaptive training step. Implementation of PWA technology was performed using the following software tools Service Worker, Web App Manifest, HTTPS, and Application Shell, which allowed to perform client caching offline, speeded up the process of downloading and displaying graphic elements of the web page, provided the use of the proposed resource as a regular mobile application. It has made it possible for easy access to the system to be obtained as well as the system resource use to be reduced.
Introduction to the Special Issue
Authors: Véras Bruno R.
Published: September 2022

This special issue of The iJournal brings together nine articles from a group of authors with different professional and cultural backgrounds. The discussions here tackle a diverse range of geographies, approaches, and topics. They range from religious intolerance and body and gender to debates about trauma, war, and dictatorship. But, despite different histories and conjectures being analyzed, all nine articles examine issues on difficult memories in the museum and/or archives and discuss globalization and its politics and representations. Comparing different curatorial settings, analyzing the interaction between local and global contexts, and contemplating the development of memorialization projects in different spaces allows museum and archive professionals to better think about trauma, the erasure of memories, the politics (its struggles and possibilities) for healing, and the creation of democratic and decolonial spaces.
Ranking Fuzzy Numbers with Mean Value of Points and Comparative Reviews
Authors: Prasad S. , Sinha A.
Published: September 2022

Even though various ranking fuzzy numbers approaches have been presented so far, none of them can always provide satisfactory results in every situation. Some are counterintuitive, and some are inconsistent for the same circumstances. To overcome the issues mentioned above, we present a new technique for ranking fuzzy numbers using the mean value of the two points. The points are taken on the left and the right membership functions (reference functions) such that they divide the respective membership function in the same ratio . The proposed technique determines the order of the fuzzy numbers significantly. To use this technique, the membership functions need not be normal and linear.

Authors: Yadav V. , Shukla R. , Sharma K. S.
Published: September 2022

In the present work, the structural and optical properties of pure and zinc-doped manganese oxide nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method have been studied for doping concentrations of 5, 10, and 15 %. The XRD patterns reveal that the cubic phase of pure manganese oxide nanoparticles is changed to tetragonal on doping with Zn. The surface morphology of pure and Zn doped manganese oxide nanoparticles has been studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), which reveals appreciable changes in size and shape of the nanoparticles as the doping level of Zn is increased. The optical properties studied by UV-Visible spectroscopy further reveal that the energy band gap increases with a decrease in the size of nanoparticles.

A infraestrutura de transportes desempenha um papel crucial no desenvolvimento socioeconômico de um país tanto em nível regional quanto nacional. Este segmento, no entanto, enfrenta dificuldades para desenvolver atividades essenciais que possam oferecer um suporte diferenciado no setor de transportes. As principais dificuldades estão relacionadas à falta de investimentos permanentes para construção, manutenção e inspeção das rodovias. O presente trabalho de pesquisa teve como foco principal avaliar as condições da superfície do pavimento de uma rodovia usando um Método do Levantamento Visual Continuo. Para este propósito foi realizado uma análise comparativa entre o projeto do empreendimento e a sua execução, bem como as patologias apresentadas em decorrência seu uso. A rodovia estudada, nomeada Av. Antônio Carlos Belchior, está localizada na cidade de Sobral, Ceará, Brasil. Para avaliação da superfície do pavimento, adotou-se a norma DNIT 008/2003 - PRO, onde estão fixadas condições exigíveis para a realização da avaliação da superfície de pavimentos flexíveis e semirrígidos. Durante o realização do trabalho foram detectadas e classificadas as patologias presentes no pavimento de acordo com as características apresentadas durante a avaliação. Portanto, neste trabalho foi realizado uma abordagem desde a elaboração de projeto até a execução da rodovia, analisando os fatores que contribuíram para o desgaste e/ou surgimento de patologias. O Método do Levantamento Visual Contínuo possibilitou diagnosticar os pontos críticos da rodovia a partir das patologias detectadas durante o processo de avaliação.

O presente artigo é um recorte da pesquisa de mestrado intitulada “Do lápis e papel à realidade aumentada: uma proposta de ensino de visualização geométrica”, que tem como objetivo analisar as possíveis contribuições de uma proposta de ensino de visualização geométrica pautado na investigação matemática e utilizando diferentes recursos didáticos. Aqui, analisamos as contribuições de atividades desenvolvidas apenas com lápis e papel para o ensino-aprendizagem de geometria. Participaram desta pesquisa 16 estudantes da 3ª série do ensino médio, residentes em Guaçuí – ES. O uso deste recurso despertou pouco o interesse dos estudantes. As limitações do material (representação em 2D de objetos 3D) dificultou, por exemplo, a observação de interseções entre as figuras. A atividade permitiu contemplar as seguintes habilidades: percepção figura de fundo; rotação mental e discriminação visual. As seguintes habilidades não foram contempladas: constância perceptiva; percepção de posições espaciais e percepção de relações espaciais. Por fim, atividades com lápis e papel apresentam como vantagens: serem de fácil execução; estimularem a criatividade dos estudantes e ajudarem a desenvolver a habilidade de desenho pelos estudantes. Concluímos que o uso de um recurso simples, como lápis e papel, pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento de importantes habilidades nos alunos.
Eosinophilic Pneumonia Due to Toxocariasis: A Rare Case Report in a Paediatric Patient and Literature Review

Human toxocariasis is a zoonosis caused by the larvae of Toxocara genus parasites. It is usually asymptomatic and self-limiting. However, due to either the direct action of parasites or by immunological mechanisms, it can affect several organs resulting in many clinical manifestations. Among paediatric patients, lung involvement occurs in 20–85% of cases of visceral toxocariasis, as Löffler’s syndrome, chronic pneumonia, eosinophilic pneumonia, or baby wheezing syndrome. Because of its rarity, eosinophilic pneumonia due to Toxocara larvae is not well-documented amongst medical records.

This article presents a clinical case of a 2-year-old with a history of daily sand and soil ingestion, followed by sudden pulmonary symptoms, 9-day fever, abnormal chest X-ray, and intense peripheral eosinophilia. Due to the suspicion of toxocariasis pneumonia after a series of laboratory tests, the diagnosis of eosinophilic pneumonia caused by the parasite was confirmed. After treatment with albendazole for 5 days, the patient displayed progressive improvement in respiratory symptoms and a reduction in peripheral eosinophilia.
Introduction
Authors: Mitcheson Katrina
Published: September 2022

The introduction explores the experience of engaging with Goya’s Disasters of War. It illustrates how such encounters with art can challenge the assumption that there is a simple or fixed self and yet also suggest there is a self that can experience complexity and tension. Hence rather than discard the idea of a self, we should look to incorporate into it the recognition that the self is a construction that is inherently complicated and unstable such that there is no given or final unity. Our understanding of our actions, experiences and relationships requires a self that is unified in the sense of having a character and a continuous history. The problem this then presents, is how we can reconcile a self that is unified in this way with the diversity and mutability we encounter in experience. Narrative theory offers one possible response to this problem. This introduction therefore briefly sets out some possible limitations of narrative theory and argues for the need to elaborate an alternative hermeneutics of the self.
Legal Causation and Remoteness of Damage
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter discusses the significance of intervening events in interrupting the chain of causation, including conduct by third parties, medical treatment, natural events, and subsequent conduct by the pursuer. It also reviews the limits placed upon recoverability by the rules of remoteness, including the role of foreseeability, and the so-called “eggshell skull” principle. Modern developments in limiting liability for risk outwith the scope of duty (the “SAAMCO” principle) are explained. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the role of remoteness in regard to the intentional delicts.
Intention and Malice
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter explores the role of intention and malice in establishing liability for injuries to specific interests. The attribution of purpose to the defender, and the relevance of recklessness, are considered. Malice and the evidential problems to which it gives rise are analysed in its generic and specific meanings – as a synonym for wrongful intention and as signifying malicious motive. The significance of intention and malice in different contexts is noted, including as a rebuttal of privilege.
Nuisance
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter begins with a detailed treatment of the historical background to the law of nuisance, including an assessment of English influence and the rejection of the Rylands v Fletcher doctrine. It also provides a review of the ambit and complex typology of nuisance. Separate sections are devoted to interdict and to damages, and the gravity of harm required by the respective categories. There is in-depth analysis of the fault requirement for damages, including discussion of malice, intention, recklessness and negligence, and the troubled concept of conduct giving rise to special risk of abnormal damage or danger. The ambit of title to sue is considered, as are the questions of liability for independent contractors and liability of landlords. The possible defences in this area are noted. The chapter also contains a section on the doctrine of aemulatio vicini in the neighbourhood context, and a section on the actio de effusis vel dejectis and the actio de positis vel suspensis.
Defences and Contributory Negligence
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

This chapter reflects upon the main defences available against delictual liability. There is detailed treatment of the doctrine of volenti non fit injuria, and the essential elements that underlie the deemed assumption of risk. Particular problem contexts are considered including the workplace, road traffic accidents, deliberate self-harm, and occupiers’ liability. The complexities of the defence of illegality are also given extended analysis, including the framework introduced by the English case of Patel v Mirza and its application in more recent case law. The topic of contributory negligence is explained including what is meant by the pursuer’s “own fault”, and the calculation of proportions. Problem contexts of fault by children and by those inflicting deliberate self-harm are also noted.
Remedies
Authors: Reid Elspeth Christie
Published: September 2022

The final chapter of the book provides an overview of the main remedies available against breach of delictual liability. The function of the award of damages is considered as well as the main contexts in which such awards are made: property damage; negligent provision of information; non-fatal personal injury; and personal injury resulting in death. In relation to the last of these the availability of claims by relatives is discussed. The award of interim and provisional damages is considered as well as the availability of interest. The conditions for the award of interdict are also explained.

Introduction: Retrospective Diagnosis: Medicine and Post-Imperial Literature
Authors: Goodman Sam
Published: September 2022

The general introduction to the book outlines the critical, cultural and literary contexts of post-imperial fiction, the origins and growth in popularity of the Raj Revival, and the continued, ongoing British fascination with the vanished world of Empire. It considers the recent return to debates over Empire in the public sphere, situating its analysis as informed by nostalgia, historical fiction and the politics of cultural representation. The introduction also outlines the critical medical humanities framework of the book in detail, exploring how medicine is a common thematic link between the real and imagined history of Empire in print cultures past and present. Moreover, the introduction places the book’s major authors (J. G. Farrell, Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and Salman Rushdie) analysed throughout the chapters within their historical and critical contexts, exploring how literary critics and biographers have appraised their work to date, how India was a defining leitmotif of their work in this period, and how their shared emphasis on the theme of medicine and health unites their work in a way that has not been considered from a scholarly perspective before.
