Published: June 2022

Background: COVID-19 has disrupted many countries worldwide; its high mortality and spread has overwhelmed the healthcare systems. Hence it has become important to identify reliable predictors of disease severity and morbidity which would streamline healthcare resources into improving efficiency of management and thus improving the clinical burden and overall outcome. Since dyslipidemia in COVID-19 has been associated with worse outcomes, it can be determined by lipid parameters at admission and its trends. Aim: To correlate serum lipid parameters levels in COVID-19 patients, admitted in an Indian setting, with clinical outcome. Methods: A single-center, observational cross-sectional study was conducted in COVID-19 positive patients admitted from April1st, 2021 to May 1st, 2021. The diagnosis was confirmed by Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Each serum lipid parameter was compared to clinical outcomes and checked for statistical association. Results: A total of 157 COVID-19 patients were studied. By the Mann-Whitney test TC median values were 109.5 in the Non survivors and 138 in survivor group (p value <0.05), HDL was 13 in non survivors and 33 in survivors. LDL was 18 in the non-survivor group and 46 (p-value <0.05 for both). The median TG in the group that succumbed to death was 48 as compared to the survivor group which was 138 (p value <0.05). HDL/LDL ratio was 0.14 in non-survivor group and 0.29 in survivors. However, the VLDL-C levels and TC/HDL showed a significant increase in the group that succumbed to death as compared to the group that survived (p=0.003 and p<0.05). ROC curve showed that HDL-C has maximum AUC of 9.77 and least standard error 0.013. Conclusion: Hypolipidemia was seen among many COVID-19 patients and had a strong association with the outcome of the disease. Most sensitive being the levels of HDL-C cholesterol at admission, which could be potentially be used as a cost-free test at the time of triaging patients based on ........

Published: June 2022

The shift from conventional teaching method to the technology-driven virtual mode of teaching due to COVID 19 pandemic has provided a lot of opportunities with challenges to academic stakeholders. With this background the study has been designed with an objective to analyze the outcome of the virtual mode of teaching and learning on the knowledge building and performance of the students of higher education in the north-eastern region of India. The study's design is descriptive and has drawn a sample from the region's universities that constituted 209 students. The study period was April 2020 to April 2021. Primary data has been collected using Google form when journals, reports, and websites are secondary data collection sources. The analysis has been done on micro soft excel and presented through tables and charts. The results of the study indicated that 46.9% of the students found virtual teaching useful. 49.7% of students shared that academic programs conducted in virtual mode (webinars, training programs, workshops) significantly contributed to knowledge building, but subject-specific virtual teaching could not impact students' performance. Excess pressure of assignments, online exam phobia, Lack of Technical know-how, poor internet connectivity; has been identified as causative factors of poor performance. In-spite of having such challenges, 42.85% of the female and 38.14% of the male shared their overall learning experience in online mode as satisfactory. The study suggested that the Universities of North Eastern Region requires developing technological infrastructure, initiating discussion with teachers on the mental health issues of students, and organizing programs on technical aspects which will lead to performance development of the students.
Challenges Facing Women and Girls who have Opted to use Education as a Tool for Fighting Psycho-Social Violence
Authors: Mac Kemoli , Beatrice Dr. Busolo
Published: June 2022

While society has made strides in combating violence against women and girls over the years, there are still areas that need to be addressed especially with the forms of violence mutating from what has been common, i.e., physical. Stakeholders and especially in the academia have identified religion, patriarchy system, cultural and economic dependence as the main agents of violence against women. With these most scholars are of the view that women and girls need education so that they can fight these institutions as well as getting economic independence. Today, most women and girls have used education to redefine themselves, liberate themselves from oppressive institutions and assert themselves in different spheres of life. Though a large number of women have attained this status, the above mentioned institutions are now fighting back with different forms of violence that have left women broken psychologically and emotionally. Many women are frustrated by the same institutions that they have found themselves in, be it educational, religious, and legislative and even the family. While some women and girls who have acquired education face little or no violence at all, there is evidence that a large number of women and girls face some form of emotional and psychological violence due to their educational status and opportunities coming their way through the education they have acquired. This paper will try to look into how far education has been a tool of liberation and how much tools of oppression have found ways of using it to oppress women and girls. The paper will also try to come up with ways of overcoming this new challenge that nevertheless had not been foreseen. Accounts from women and girls who have undergone this form of violence will be used well as literature reviews from texts such as novels, short stories, plays, journals that have documented similar events and documentations from previous seminars on the same.

Authors: Dr. Sunita Dr. Sunita , Sharma Dr. Kamlesh
Published: June 2022

Mucormycosis is a rare but serious life threatening, angioinvasive fungal infection with high mortality rate. In 2nd wave of pandemic it has been increasing as an opportunistic infection in covid 19 recovered patients. The most common organism is Rhizopus oryzae and is responsible for 70% of all cases of mucormycosis. India is dealing a double blow as rapid increase in Covid-19 cases and also with this nasty rare fungal infection. More than 70% cases of mucormycosis are from India. The fatality rate in mucormycosis if patient goes untreated is as high as 80%, If treated, it is still 40-50%. Mucormycosis was predominantly seen in males (79%), both in people who were active (59%) or recovered (41%) from COVID-19. Diabetes was present in 80% of cases, while concomitant diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was present in 15% and corticosteroid treatment was given for COVID-19 in 76%. DM has been the most common risk factor linked with mucormycosis and India is the diabetes capital of the world although hematological malignancies and organ transplant takes the lead in Europe and the USA. Treatments need to be fast and aggressive, because by the time even the presumptive diagnosis is made, often the patient has suffered significant tissue damage that cannot be reversed. Liposomal Amphotericin B (≥5mg/kg) combined with surgery is the first line therapy for mucormycosis. Due to rapidly growing number of cases many Indian state Governments have declared it an epidemic. Himachal government declared mucormycosis as an epidemic for one year on 21st May 2021 after detection of first case on 20th May 2021.

Published: June 2022

Recent advances in orthodontic wire alloys have resulted in a varied array of wires that exhibit a wide spectrum of properties. Appropriate use of these wires may enhance the patient comfort; reduce the chair side time and duration of the treatment. Though superior materials and techniques are now available and many replace conventional methods, one should keep in mind that no arch wire is ideal or best for all stages of treatment. Since arch wires are the main force system in orthodontics, the knowledge about newer arch wires will help us to select the appropriate wire within the context of their intended use during treatment.

Authors: Shanavas Dr. Sheza
Published: June 2022

Labiogingival groove is a congenital morphologic dental anomaly, in which an infolding of the inner enamel epithelium and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath create a groove extending varying depth into root. Epithelial attachment can be breached by gingival irritation secondary to plaque accumulation creating a periodontal defect. A 24-year-old boy reported with the complaint of a dull gnawing pain from labial gingival surface in the maxillary left central incisor for 2 to 3 months. Intraoral examination revealed inflamed gingiva with loss of contour in relation to maxillary left central incisor. A diagnosis of localised periodontitis was given and required treatment was carried out. On exposure of the involved tooth, a labiogingival groove was noticed which could have been a contributing factor for the increased disease activity at the concerned site.

The study deals with the assessment of wastewater irrigation practices and soil properties in connection with demographic information, availability of water sources, health hazards and the benefit-cost analysis in the Gazipur district of Bangladesh. A questionnaire survey was carried out to collect data on farmers' perceptions and responses to mainly agricultural production issues. It found that most respondents used wastewater because they had no alternative sources and sank their land during rush hour as well as the rainy season due to the lack of a proper wastewater disposal system by adjacent industries. The majority of respondents had skin problems from working with wastewater. No significant benefits were found from using direct wastewater in the fields. Irrigation costs could be reduced, however, fertilizer costs as well as the total cost of plant production were not adequate. The farmers did not get as much grown grain as they wanted. In addition, indirect wastewater users were rated better compared to direct users from the drainage canal. Farmers' perception showed that no major impact on the consumption of crops was noted, but rather the long-term use of wastewater in the field, which gradually reduced crop production and affected soil fertility. To evaluate Ca ++, Mg ++, K +, N, P, Cu, Pb, Cd and Ni from the investigation area; It was examined that the concentration of N, P and Cd was much higher than the standard limit. The heavy metal concentration series were as follows: Cd <Cu <Ni <Pb. In summary, the overall results of the study suggest that untreated or partially treated wastewater will slowly affect land and crop production in the long run.

Granulosa cell tumors constitute less than 5 % of all ovarian tumors. Unlike epithelial ovarian tumors, they occur in a younger age group, are usually detected in an early stage and often have features of hyperestrogenism. They follow an indolent course and are characterized by a long natural history. Stage of the disease is the only factor which affects survival of these patients. Fertility preserving surgery is an acceptable option in young women with stage I A disease. For whom fertility is not an issue, total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and removal of all gross disease is recommended. Nodal dissection is not recommended in surgical staging of GCT. Patients with early stage disease (stage I and II) have a very good prognosis with 5 year DFS and OS of 89% and 99% respectively and usually don’t require any postoperative treatment. Advanced stage disease (stage III and IV), the 5 year DFS and OS disease was 72% and 80 % respectively hence the option of postoperative treatment with BEP chemotherapy or taxane platinum based chemotherapy should be considered. Due to high chance of recurrence even years after apparent clinical cure of the primary tumor, lifelong follow up with clinical examination and tumor markers like inhibin B is recommended.
Bounded Traveling Wave Solutions of the (3+1)-Dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff Equation
Authors: Cai Niping
Published: June 2022

In this paper, the (3+1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff equation is studied by the bifurcation theory of dynamical system. Based on this theory, phase portraits of different topological structures of the equation are obtained, which clearly show all bounded orbits corresponding to the bounded traveling waves of the equation. Furthermore, the periodic wave solution of the (3+1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff equation are obtained by calculating complicated elliptic integrals.

Authigenic components in marine sediments are important archives for past environment reconstructions. However, defining reliable age constraints and assessing the effects of post depositional overprints in Precambrian sequences are challenging. We demonstrate a new laserbased analytical approach that has the potential to rapidly and accurately evaluate the depositional and alteration histories of Proterozoic shales. Our study employs a novel application of in situ Rb-Sr dating coupled with simultaneous trace-element analysis using reaction-cell laser ablation– inductively coupled plasma–tandem mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS/MS). We present results from shales sourced from two wells in the Proterozoic McArthur Basin, northern Australia. These rocks have been widely used by previous studies as a key section for ancient biogeochemical and paleoredox reconstructions. Shales from well UR5 yielded initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios, Rb-Sr ages, and rare earth element plus yttrium (REEY) patterns similar to those of a dolerite sampled from the same core. We propose that the UR5 samples chronicle hydrothermal alteration instigated by the dolerite intrusion. In contrast, a correlative shale from well UR6 yielded an age consistent with the expected depositional age (1577 ± 56 Ma) with REEY and initial ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios similar to ca. 1.5 Ga seawater. We suggest that this sample records the minimum depositional age and early marine diagenetic history for this unit. This new technique can date Proterozoic shales quickly, cheaply, and with minimum sample preparation. Importantly, ages are triaged to differentiate between those recording primary marine versus secondary processes. This novel approach provides a potentially powerful tool for dating and fingerprinting the vast array of ancient marine shales for further studies of Earth systems through deep time.

Cultural Diversity and the Alternate History in Kim Newman’s Novel ‎Anno Dracula
Authors: Faiq Dr. Tatheer Assim
Published: June 2022

The paper offers a new insight into the global perception of vampirism as cultural diversity tradition lens in the British writer Kim Newman’s novel Anno Dracula, published in 1992. The historical allusions throughout the novel presents the discourse of intercultural concepts that does not only speak to the Western Dracula tradition and the 19th Century English historical setting but also to our own 21st Century  with its multicultural emerging societal relations. In a politically charged destruction of a fictional setting, the writer shows a kind of prevailing evil that defies the existence of mankind. The paper presents different points of view to interpret the role of both historical and fictional characters drawn by the novelist to create an image of horror. The paper also traces the cultural encounters with the Dracula tradition and how far this has contributed to build a political rebellion in a police state that might exist anywhere in the world.
