Authors: Solloso, Marlon C.
Published: August 2023

Residing within a college dormitory entails convenient strolls to classes, easy access to friends just down the corridor, and an immersion in the vibrant campus social milieu. The paper emphasizes the efficacy of the building's structural design in terms of robustness and durability, as well as how the building's aesthetics can hold a competitive edge on a global scale, all while adhering to the safety standards outlined in the building regulations of the Philippines. The design of the dormitory, complete with a rainwater harvesting system, encompasses various stages. These include the collection of data to establish the project's foundation, the creation of an architectural design to conceptualize the project, structural design and analysis to ascertain the building's strength and load-bearing capacity, electrical design to outline lighting and power plans, plumbing design to organize water distribution and determine suitable pipe sizes, a comprehensive work program detailing construction timelines and schedules, and cost estimates to gauge labor, equipment, and material expenses. The project's design, validated through tools like structural design software, adhered to the Philippines' National Building Code and National Structural Code, meeting all requirements without encountering failure or errors. The building's prerequisites underwent meticulous evaluation and verification. Consequently, it is implied that the project holds practical value and is both feasible and worthwhile.

Using optimal estimation to retrieve winds from velocity-azimuth display (VAD) scans by a Doppler lidar
Authors: Baidar Sunil , Wagner Timothy J. , Turner David D. , Brewer W. Alan
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Low-powered commercially available coherent Doppler lidar
(CDL) wind profilers provide continuous measurement of vertical profiles of wind in the
lower troposphere, usually close to or up to the top of the planetary
boundary layer. The vertical extent of these wind profiles is limited by the
availability of scatterers and thus varies substantially throughout the day
and from one day to the next. This makes it challenging to develop
continuous products that rely on CDL-observed wind profiles. In order to
overcome this problem, we have developed a new method for wind profile
retrievals from CDL that combines the traditional velocity-azimuth display
(VAD) technique with optimal estimation (OE) to provide continuous wind
profiles up to 3 km. The new method exploits the level-to-level covariance
present in the wind profile to fill in the gaps where the signal-to-noise
ratio of the CDL return is too low to provide reliable results using the
traditional VAD method. Another advantage of the new method is that it
provides the full error covariance matrix of the solution and profiles of
information content, which more easily facilitates the assimilation of the
observed wind profiles into numerical weather prediction models. This method
was tested using yearlong CDL measurements at the Atmospheric Radiation
Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility in 2019.
Comparison with the ARM operational CDL wind profile product and collocated
radiosonde wind measurements shows excellent agreement (R2>0.99) with no degradation in results where the traditional VAD provided a
valid solution. In the region where traditional VAD does not provide
results, the OE wind speed and wind vector have uncertainties of 3.44 and
4.33 m s−1, respectively. As a result, the new method provides additional
information over the standard technique and increases the effective range of
existing CDL systems without the need for additional hardware.

صناديق الاستثمار السيادية - تقييم اقتصادي إسلامي
Authors: أنس علي صالح
Published: August 2023

عملت الحكومات على انشاء الصناديق الاستثمارية أو تملكها من أجل المحافظة على الموجودات المالية لأغراض طويلة الأجل، من ذلك توفير الأموال في المستقبل، أو لخفض التضخم المالي، وهذا ما شجع بعض البلاد العربية على إنشاء صناديق استثمارية سيادية، وكذلك من أجل تحقيق الاستقرار الاقتصادي والمالي للدول عند الأزمات الطارئة، وفي ظل هذه الأوضاع قد يغيب الجانب الديني لاعتبارات كثيرة، منها عدم تخصص العاملين في الاقتصاد بالشؤون الدينية، أو العمل في ضوء قاعدة الضرورات تبيح المحظورات، أو لغياب المبادئ الإسلامية في ظل الحاجة الاقتصادية، لذلك كان هدف البحث هو تقويم إنشاء الصناديق السيادية الاستثمارية في ضوء تعاليم الإسلام وقيمه الدينية والأخلاقية.

البنية الاجتماعية ودورها في تنوعات اللغة وتوجيه سلوكها
Authors: حليم موسى كاظم
Published: August 2023

يتناول هذا البحث موضوعًا لغويًا اجتماعيًا، يتعلّق بالعلاقة بين البنيتين الاجتماعية واللغوية، وتأثير ذلك في ظهور التنوعات الكلامية، وتشكيل السلوك اللغوي وتوجيهه، وتعدّ هذه القضايا من مشاغل علم اللغة الاجتماعي بوصفها ظواهر لسانية اجتماعية، ورصد كيفية اشتغالها في السياق الاجتماعي والثقافي والتاريخي، فاللغة لا تعمل بمعزل عن هذا السياق، بوصفها سلوكًا متضَمَّنًا في البنية الاجتماعية، فهي التي توجّه السلوك اللغوي نحو تحقيق حاجات المجتمع، وفي ضوء ذلك يبدو أثر العوامل الاجتماعية واضحًا في نشوء اللهجات الاجتماعية والطبقية التي تتفرّع عن لغة واحدة، بخصائص لغوية وتنوعات لهجيه مختلفة دلاليًا وصوتيًا ونطقيًا، تبعا لاختلاف الطبقة أو الحرفة أو الفئة الاجتماعية المعيّنة. واللغة أداة لها سلوك موجّه اجتماعيًا، غرضه تلبية الحاجات الأساسية للمجتمع؛ ولذلك فهي تسير بالاتجاه الذي تحدده البيئة، وكلّ ما يحدث في المجتمع نجد صداه في اللغة، على النحو الذي تدرج عليه المجتمع العربي من بدوي إلى آخر متحضّر، ومن لغة بدوية جسدت خشونة طباع البدوي، إلى لغة رقيقة الألفاظ، أنيقة الأسلوب، فاللغة ليست أداة للتواصل فحسب، بل لها وظائف مختلفة، فمن وجهة نظر اجتماعية، لها قدرة الكشف عن هوية الانتماء الطبقي للمتحدث بها، ومنزلته وثقافته ومستوى تعليمه، فكلّ نشاط اجتماعي نجده متضمَّنًا في نسيج اللغة.
A Pragmatic Analysis of Regret Expressions in Selected Quranic Verses
Authors: Israa Burhan El-Din Abdul Rahman  , Ruqaya Burhan El-Din Abdul Rahman
Published: August 2023

Regret is a mental and psychological state, a natural feeling; a feeling of sadness that a person experiences when he realizes the consequences of a bad thing he did or a decision he made. Regret expressions in the Glorious Qur’an vary according to the situational contexts and to the extent to which the experiencer is undergoing; however, these expressions seem have to some degree the same deep structure since they all reflect the meaning of regret. This leads to the fact that regret expressions offer a fertile field of study where the deep meaning of such expressions is one but reflected in various linguistic forms in the surface structure. This paper hypothesizes that regret expressions in the Glorious Qur’an are of different categories; however, they share the same deep structure and can be expressed directly and indirectly via different linguistic expressions. Accordingly, this paper aims at verifying these hypotheses by adopting Searle’s model (1971) of speech act theory. The data analyzed consist of eight selected Qur’anic texts. The analysis is achieved by interpreting the Qur’anic text, showing the type of regret, then decide the type of the speech acts found in these texts. The results of analysis and the conclusions prove the viability of the model adopted, verify the hypotheses, and achieve the aims of the study. Studying the speech act of regret can have important pedagogical implications for language learning and communication. By developing their pragmatic competence, critical thinking skills, and emotional intelligence, EFL learners can become more effective communicators and responsible members of their communities.
Attitudes Toward Code-switching in EFL Classrooms Among Iraqi Instructors
Authors: Zainab Jihad Abdul-Qadir
Published: August 2023

Code-switching is a hot-button issue for many EFL classes. It is related to the impact of the students' first language on the foreign language they learn. The purpose of this research is to examine and demonstrate instructors' attitudes toward code-switching in EFL classes in Iraq. A 15-items questionnaire with three sections is designed and distributed to the instructors. The questionnaire responses are weighted; and percentages are calculated using the SPSS program. The findings indicate that instructors have a favorable opinion about the majority of question items. Attitudes of EFL instructors toward code-switching are consistent, with a moderate level of agreement with reference to access to the subject matter. The instructors' attitudes toward classroom management are poor in the second section. There is little agreement among faculty members on the third section, which deals with interpersonal ties. Dissimilarities in attitudes exist when it comes to a few questions. Because of these inconsistencies, code-switching in EFL classrooms should be changed to match the real teaching methods.

In this study, which aims to examine the administrative problems faced by administrators in educational institutions in the context of their authority and responsibilities, research that contributes to the literature is concentrated. In this context, the administrative problems faced by the school principal were examined. The school principal should determine the aims of the school in line with the aims of the education system. It should make all the stakeholders of the school active in order to achieve the targeted goals. The success of the school principal depends on his ability to provide harmony and coordination in the school and to fulfill the roles expected from him. School principals are experiencing a lack of personnel in health and safety issues. Schools do not have time to monitor, supervise and train staff because they spend a lot of time to make up for their deficiencies. Among the student-related problems, school principals have the most problems in enrolling students and monitoring student attendance. In particular, they state that they have problems in ensuring the attendance of students registered with the address-based compulsory registration system and that they do not have sanctions against absentee students. The school principals stated that they had difficulties in ensuring the attendance of these students, since the address information of the students who were constantly absent, could not be reached. It was found that the students could not repeat the grade despite being absent and unsuccessful, and the inconsistent address application in the transfer process left the schools in a difficult situation. Regarding teacher appointments and assignments; Inadequate number of appointed teachers and the inability to plan the appointment timing were seen as the most common problems. According to school principals; The appointment of teachers after the start of the academic year or in the interim periods makes it difficult for the principals. In the interim period, problems that occur due to appointments or appointments are tried to be overcome by assigning teachers in return for course fees.

Published: August 2023

Research on speaking anxiety has often been the focus of research in language learning to date. This research topic is important to provide information about the level of anxiety they experience when speaking English and to what extent it impacts the quality of students' speaking. Therefore, implementing research is important for developing strategies for learning English according to the habits and challenges they experience. This study examines students' anxiety levels, especially during public speaking. Data was collected using the Public Speaking Class Anxiety Scale (PSCAS) questionnaire and then analyzed separately based on anxiety, communication apprehension, comfort in speaking English, and fear of negative evaluation. The results showed that 50% of students were at the medium level, 35% at the high level, and 15% at the low anxiety level. Anxiety arises from internal factors such as a tense and stiff body, a heart beating faster, and the inability to control body movements. External factors such as fear of being laughed at and getting a negative response from the public also cause anxiety. This study also found that the main causes of anxiety are lack of grammar knowledge, lack of vocabulary mastery, and failure to construct good sentences

Locally advanced breast cancer constitutes more than 50-70% of the patients presenting for treatment in India.1 Due to heterogeneous nature of the disease multi disciplinary approach is required to treat the disease. Numerous histopathological prognostic factors have been identified which helps in exploring the nature of disease and finding the probability of loco-regional recurrence.
Material: In current study all post operative MRM specimens 8 years retrospective ad 2 years prospective were included which came out to be IBC-NST. Detailed gross and histomorphological prognostics factors were studied and documented. Patients were followed up and were examined for loco regional recurrence. Statistical Bivariate analysis by Chi Square was done for all demographic and histomorphological factors with recurrence.
Result: Total 141 specimens were obtained and patients were followed up. Out of 141 cases 11 (8%) had recurrence. Minimum time for recurrence was 2 months and maximum was 34 months with mean of 14.4 months.
Statistically significant association (p<0.05) of recurrence was found with positive surgical margin, positive axillary lymph node and ER/PR status.
Borderline significant association (p nearing 0.05 but not less than 0.05) of recurrence was found with consistency of lump, tumor fixity to underlying tissue, tumor size, tumor emboli, multicentricity, overlying skin change, tumor grade and HER2.
No association was found with lump location, tumor necrosis, nipple-areola complex change, skin involvement by tumor.
Conclusion: The association of recurrence with histomorphological prognostic factors help us in assessing the outcome of the disease. It aids in calculating the probability of recurrence by studying the prognostic factors in MRM specimen. Clinician can assess the risk of recurrence and can offer better treatment to the patient.

Authors: Anish Ahamad Mohamad , Shah Amit Kumar , Gautam Ravi Kiran
Published: August 2023

INTRODUCTION: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is used to treat the urological condition nephrolithiasis. For large (>2cm) and complicated renal calculi, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the treatment of choice. At the end of standard pcnl, a double j stent and nephrostomy are placed. The double j stent is inserted only at the very end of the surgical procedure in tubeless PCNL. This study was carried out in order to analyze the outcome and safety of tubeless PCNL.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: After IRC approval (ref # f-nmc/649/079-080), this study was carried out in the urology unit of the department of surgery at the National Medical College in Birgunj, Nepal, from June 2021 to May 2023. During this period, 75 patients underwent tubeless PCNL.
RESULTS: Seventy-five patients underwent planned tubeless pcnl in this study. The overall mean age was 37.33±16.86 years, with 29 men (38.6%) and 46 females (70.95%). Mean stone size 3.86±0.56mm, stone presentation 47 (62.6%), left side 25 (33.33%), and bilateral 3 (4.0%). The average operative time (min) was 55.8±18.6, and the average drop haemoglobin (mg/dl) was 0.864±0.98. The average hospital stay was 3.2±0.51 days. 67 (89.3%) of the patients had complete stone clearance.
CONCLUSION: Since tubeless pcnl is safer, more cost-effective, has fewer complications, requires fewer hospital stays, and is more convenient for patients, it is currently gaining preference.

In Kenya, 15,347 adolescents are street inhabitants, and approximately 5,046 of them are in the streets of Nairobi. However, research on the nutrition status of adolescent street children is very limited. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the nutrition status of adolescent street children 10-17 years in Nairobi. A descriptive and analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 248 participants (89 females and 159 males) selected through cluster sampling. Data was collected using anthropometric tools, interviewer-administered questionnaires, and a focus group discussion. Anthropometric data was analysed using WHO AnthroPlus software, while quantitative data from the questionnaire was analysed using SPSS version 25. A few of the respondents were malnourished as 3.2% had severe thinness, 8.1% had thinness, 4.8% were overweight, 7.7% were stunted, and 2.8% were severely stunted. The rate of thinness in the respondents was more than the acceptable levels of wasting recommended by WHO in developing countries (<2%). The cases of under-nutrition were more in adolescent street males than adolescent street females.

Is There a Relationship Between Activity Limitation in ADLs and Quality of Life of Adults with Plantar Fasciitis?
Authors: Thakkar Vidhi , Pal Rimple , Gupta Aayush
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is defined as inflammation of the plantar aponeurosis at its insertion on the medial calcaneal tubercle. It is common foot disorder, secondary to an inflammatory response caused by repetitive micro-trauma. This is prevalent in both sports’ active persons and sedentary population. Complaints are pain occurring in the heel region during the first steps taken after sleep or after a long period of inactivity, that decreases as the movement progresses. PF has a negative impact on various aspects of the individual's ADL, as well as on sports and leisure time (especially active recreational activities) activities. There are very few studies that examines relationship between Activity limitations and quality of life in individuals with PF.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Correlational Study with Purposive sampling was done. Total 60 - Both males and females having Pain with local compression on the medial calcaneal tubercle were taken. They had Plantar heel pain longer than 2 weeks (especially in the first few steps in the morning). Any surgery, pregnant females, calcaneus fractures, sprain, Neuropathy patients were excluded. Impact of PF on Body functions was measured by Foot Function Index (FFI) scale. Quality of life was measured by WHO-QOL BREF scale. After the end of study, scores of both the scales were correlated.
RESULTS: Result showed moderate negative correlation between FFI and QOL Score. (r = -0.616, p=0.000).
CONCLUSION: Difficulty in ADL in turn affects QOL of patients with plantar fasciitis.

Published: August 2023

Urtica dioica, a highly nutritious medicinal herb that grows naturally, requires no maintenance. This herb is rich in protein, calcium, and iron, as well as countless bioactive compounds making them supportive to combat various diseases, particularly diabetes, anemia, cancer, and hypertension. The current study was designed to determine the proximate and phytochemical analysis of fresh leaves and dried leaves of Urtica dioica by using different methods: sun-drying, shadow-drying, and oven-drying. The experiments were performed by the standard procedure of the Association of Analytical Communities. The sun-drying and oven-drying leaves of Urtica dioica were found to have a similar and maximum concentration of protein as compared with the fresh and shadow-drying leaves. Furthermore, calcium and iron content were higher and found significantly maximum (p<0.05) in sun-drying leaves as compared to fresh, shadow-drying, and oven-drying leaves. Qualitative phytochemical analysis showed the presence of bioactive compounds in both fresh and dried leaves of Urtica dioica. The presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids was confirmed in the ethanolic extract in the current study. Cardiac glycosides and anthocyanin were not present in the leaves of Urtica dioica. Meanwhile, the current study confirmed bioactive compounds are not sensitive to the drying process of leaves. Urtica dioica is an excellent source of nutrients and phytochemicals used as a fresh green herb as well as in dried form for the prevention of various nutrient deficiency disorders. Hence, it should be added as a nutritional supplement.

Authors: Prasad K U Raghavendra , M Doreswamy Shreyanka , S R Manohar
Published: August 2023

Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of the salivary glands. It accounts for less than 1 percent of all head and neck malignancies. It is a slow-growing aggressive tumor with increased chances of recurrence.
Objectives: To report the varied presentations and to discuss the clinical profile and management of six diagnosed cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Head and Neck region.
Method: A retrospective study consisting of 6 diagnosed cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the Head and Neck region which were treated at our tertiary care center between the period of January 2009 till December 2022.
Results: In our study, the mean age of occurrence of the disease was 52.5 years and 4 out of 6 patients (66.7%) were females. Out of the 6 cases, 3 patients were diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the parotid gland, 1 patient with the maxilla, 1 sphenoid sinus, and 1 patient with the base of the tongue. All patients underwent surgical excision of the primary tumor and two of the patients had recurrence. Positive microscopic margins were reported in only one patient. Microscopic perineural invasion was seen in 2 patients.
Conclusion: Primary treatment is still surgical resection with radiotherapy. Adenoid cystic carcinoma of minor salivary glands has a worse prognosis than those of major salivary glands. Post-operative radiation is a must to delay rather than prevent local recurrence.

Published: August 2023

In the pursuit to enhance public electoral participation, lately the electoral body introduced the adoption of a twin-technology i.e. Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) and INEC Election Result Viewing Portal (IReV), in subsequent elections. The efficacy of the twin-technology has raised a lot of apprehensions. Thus, it is against this backdrop this study assessed the public opinions and voting behaviours as regarding the worthiness and integrity of new Electoral Act with reference to INEC adoption of BVAS and IReV in Nigeria subsequent elections. The study adopted a survey research design, where data were primarily sourced from randomly sampled 400 Abuja municipal residents using questionnaires. Specifically, the study utilized descriptive analysis methods these include frequencies, percentages, charts and word-cloud in analyzing respondents views as regard awareness of the use of BVAS and IReV in Nigeria elections. It also employed the Fisher’s Exact Test to assess effects of the twin-technology awareness and its adoption on the public confidence in electoral process vis-à-vis their voting behaviour. The empirical findings from the descriptive analysis of the respondents revealed that there is great level of awareness among the public as regard the use of BVAS and IReV in subsequent elections in the country. Also, the study showed that respondents were full of praises for the innovation of the technology in Nigeria elections. Moreover, the Fisher’s Exact results showed that public awareness of use of BVAS and IReV positively influenced the public PVC collection rate. Howbeit, it revealed that public awareness of use of BVAS and IReV positively influenced voters’ turnout in subsequent General Election, if and only if electoral misconducts can be downcast. Thus, the study recommended that INEC could ensure full implementation and deployment of BVAS and IReV technology in coming (subsequent) elections. Also, INEC with NBA collaboration could ensure all electoral misconducts perpetrators are brought to justice as this would downcast electoral misconducts in the country and thereby enhancing voters’ turnout.
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o’s Writing Career: the Rise and the Development of a Dynamic African Literary Star
Authors: Abdullahi Nasir Umar
Published: August 2023

A myriad of Ngugi’s readers may presuppose that the literary career of this celebrated African writer began at the University. Albeit it was at Makerere that he triumphantly wrote and subsequently published his first and second novels, Weep Not Child and The River Between for which reason he reveals in his own words that “I started writing in 1960. I was then a student at Makerere University College” (Homecoming: 47), and for Lindfords, Ngugi’s literary career begun specifically “towards the end of 1960” (23), evidences corroborate that Ngugi has started his literary writing since at the secondary school: the Alliance High School. The motive behind this article is to unveil that Ngugi’s literary writing career history is marvellous and distinctive. Although famous African writers the likes of late Achebe have written earlier than him, he is such a rare prolific writer, who has written at different places, at different periods, for different motives, with varying degrees of inspirations, all of which demonstrate an unprecedented, literary dynamism in his entire literary writing career.
