US INDO-PACIFIC ENGAGEMENT: IMPLICATIONS ON PAKISTAN
Authors:   University of Management and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan., Tariq Mehak , . Arshad ,   Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad
Published: November 2022

In recent years, Maritime security has become one of the most important mandates in terms of international relations. A major part of the world is covered with water which implies countries with a responsibility to safeguard their passages. Maritime security extends beyond the traditional notion of security as it can mold with current concepts of security and make its relevance. Due to the changing dynamics, the US formed an Indo-Pacific policy that includes India, Japan, the UK, and Australia with other countries signing up. In this thesis, we will discuss the cooperation between US and India and its direct effects on Pakistan's National Security policy because the foundation of such a mandate is born from the competition between states. In this thesis, we are going to apply the lens of Structural realism to solve the puzzle vis-à-vis emerging strategic and geopolitical alliances in the contemporary world. This thesis argues how Indo-Pacific policy is creating Maritime security concerns for Pakistan in the Asia-Pacific region as the world is moving towards multipolarity and rebalancing. Also, we will analyze US geostrategic concerns and its favored policy towards structured alliances. Keywords: US indo-pacific policy, Geostrategic policy, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Naval security, Maritime security, US-China relations.
BULLYING IN SCHOOLS: DOES EMPATHY HELP
Authors:   Government College Samanabad, Lahore Pakistan, Murad Amna
Published: November 2022

Bullying is a universal problem, affecting students in schools all around the world. It makes life miserable for those who are bullied, and some victims have been so upset that they committed suicide. Bullying is an act of intentional harm, carried out repeatedly. It can take the form of physical, verbal, social or emotional and cyber bullying. The bullies are aggressive in nature and the emotion they harbor is anger. Their home environment is one of conflict, and lack of warmth. The victims of bullies are sensitive and lack social and problem-solving skills and easily fall prey to the bully. They are anxious, depressive and lonely. As a result of bullying, their school attendance falls, and academic results are low. To tackle the bullying problem in schools, many programs have been introduced which have reported to increase empathy in students, and consequently, reducing bullying. This article emphasizes the importance of bullying prevention programs in schools with empathy as a core component, because it is impossible to eradicate bullying by enforcing policies and rules only. The solution of bullying is to develop empathy which will help students to appreciate differences, and to develop a sense of community in students. Keywords: Intervention Program, Reducing Bullying, Schoolchildren and Empathy

The current study uses a constructivist epistemological stance and a qualitative research design. This research aims to explore the emotional experiences of the family members of irregular emigrants left behind in the rural areas of district Gujrat, Pakistan. This study is a part of a larger research project. The present research's target population comprises the male family members of the irregular emigrants in the rural areas of district Gujrat. For the present study, a snowball sampling technique has been used to select the respondents because it was complicated to identify irregular emigrants due to their hidden nature. In the first phase of the data collection, some male family members of the emigrants were contacted working in a public sector organization in district Gujrat with the principal researcher. Later on, these initial contacts facilitated the chief researcher to approach various family members of the irregular emigrants in the peripheral villages of Gujrat city. The fieldwork comprised in-depth interviews that were started with a broader discussion on the issue of irregular migration. The initial four in-depth interviews were analyzed parallel, and it led to the emergence of new themes for further interviews. A total of thirteen in-depth interviews were conducted until saturation. Three major themes emerged at the time of border crossing, family gatherings on social events and advice for the aspirants' migrants. Keywords: Irregular Migration, Emotions, Family Left Behind, Border Crossing, Pakistan.

Architects’ Perception of space is loaded with multiple living layers that are articulated as bits and pieces of a variety of events that might have taken place over a range of time periods. The recollections are assembled in an imaginative plane in the form of a collage done in a virtual space grid. The perceptive layers expressed in tangible media are very intricate in nature. The nature of the complexity of these realistic, experiential, associational, hyper-realistic, and idealistic layers is jumbled up in the form of perceived augmented reality. The article is an inquiry to identify some of the potential layers that bang or should preferably resonate with the designers’ thought process. The basic motivation for the article is a study of theoretical discourses carried out by architects, and academic and design theorists. The method adapted for the study is to load a neutral space grid with two kinds of perceived scenarios; One scenario is rendered by doing a collage of selective social happenings on different planes in real time reproduced on the same plane in a hyper-realistic space grid, while the second scenario is created by loading the same space grid with a wholistic space configuration taking place within an existing overcrowded street. The comparative analysis is carried out to highlight the gap between ‘imagined space’ and ‘adapted space’. The article's objective is to engage designers in a conceptual dialogue – an inner speech to come up with more sensible and aware responses while taking design decisions. For this purpose, certain space settings are created for architects to critically expand their design horizons and their understanding of design issues to reimagine space configurations offered by the existing set of realities. Keywords: Space Perception, Space Grid, Cultural adaptation

Authors:   Bahria University Law School Islamabad Pakistan, Hilal Hareem , Rehman Qurrat-Ul-Ain ,   Bahria University Law School Islamabad Pakistan
Published: November 2022

The right to health is one of the fundamental human rights for which states undertake obligations under international law and national law. This right is dependent on several other rights and is equally important. What this right entails is best defined by the obligations that it imposes on states. These obligations of the states are further divided into categories and the purpose of this division is to ensure maximum state responsibility and accountability. This article discusses the various layers of state obligations corresponding to the right to health. The researchers have employed the tripartite typology (duties to respect, protect, and fulfil), examining contexts of different jurisdictions and identifying comprehensive instances of the application of this typology. The research provides a study of how the right to health may be upheld and provided optimally by adhering to this tripartite typology of state’s obligations. Keywords: civil and political rights, economic, social and cultural rights, human rights, right to health, right to life, state obligations, tripartite typology of human rights obligations.

In this work, silver nanoparticles (Ep-AgNPs) were synthesised using Echinacea pallida (Nutt.) Nutt. The dried leaves of E. pallida were collected and heated at 55 and#176;C in deionized water, and filtered, and the leaf extract was treated with AgNO3 to produce the Ep-AgNPs. The Ep-AgNPs were analyzed by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The characteristic hydroxyl gave the peak at 3147 cm-1. In UV-Vis analysis, observation of absorption band at 468 nm proved the achievement of Ep-AgNPs synthesis. SEM analysis presented the spherical shape of nanostructures with an average size of 77.82 nm. The face-centered crystal structure of Ep-AgNPs was revealed by the XRD analysis.
The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl radical (DPPH•) scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2and#39;-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical cation (ABTS•+) assays were employed for antioxidant study in which Ep-AgNPs exhibited excellent antioxidant effect. Ep-AgNPs displayed outstanding DPPH• activity (6.34, IC50, and#181;g/ml) compared to the standard BHT (10.78, IC50, and#181;g/ml). The high activity was observed for ABTS•+ and reducing power assays as well. Hence, Ep-AgNPs could be a valuable material for the food and pharmaceutical industry.

The paper discusses a possibility of increasing the wear and corrosion resistance of a low carbon steel surface after cathodic plasma electrolytic boronitrocarburising in a solution of boric acid, glycerin, and ammonium chloride, with the subsequent anodic plasma electrolytic polishing in an ammonium sulfate solution due to the formation of a modified structure consisting of a dense oxide layer and a diffusion layer below it, which contains up to 0.87% carbon, 0.80% nitrogen, and 0.87% boron upon reaching microhardness up to 970±20 HV. The competitive influence of the surface erosion under the action of discharges and high-temperature oxidation on the morphology and roughness of the surface is revealed. A positive effect of reducing the surface roughness during the formation of a dense oxide layer on the surface and a hardened diffusion layer under it on reducing the friction coefficient and mass wear, as well as reducing the roughness and additional oxidation of the surface during polishing on reducing the corrosion current density, has been established.

The paper presents a study of the electrodeposition of binary alloys CoMo, CoRe and a ternary alloy CoMoRe from the citrate electrolyte (pH 3.5) depending on the presence of a constant magnetic field and the direction of the magnetic induction vector relative to the surface of the working electrode. It is shown that the use of magnetoelectrolysis makes it possible to significantly increase the current efficiency of all studied alloys, especially the ternary CoMoRe alloy. The modeling of the forces acting in the liquid and on the bubbles of hydrogen released during the reaction in a constant magnetic field was carried out, and it was shown that the creation of convective flows due to the magnetohydrodynamic effect in the solution is not the only and determining factor; in the case of intense outgassing, the ratio of forces varies depending on the size of the bubbles: the conductive force and the Archimedes buoyancy force are the largest for large bubbles (about 100 µm), and the gradient magnetic force is for bubbles (less than 1 µm).

Nonlinear interaction of capillary waves for the first azimuthal modes of an elliptical jet in an electric cross-section field is examined by the product of two independent small parameters. The interaction itself arises due to the ellipticity of the section perpendicular to the jet. Three azimuth modes participate in the interaction: either even or odd ones. When compared with a jet in a radial electrostatic field, the stability of the jet in a perpendicular uniform electrostatic field is reduced. It turned out that the characteristic time for implementing instability decreases with an increase in the initial amplitudes of the interacting modes and with an increase in the intensity of the external electrostatic field, and it also depends on the value of the wave number.
Investigation of Magnitoelectric Propereties of Composites on the Basу of Fe2O3 Magenic Particles and Bentonite Using a Percolation Theory
Authors:   Ganja State University, Azerbaijan, Imanova S. R.
Published: November 2022

The paper presents the results of studies of the electrical and magnetic properties of an inhomogeneous percolated medium based on the theory of percolation. The application of this theory has a wide and varied range. Examples include hopping conductivity in semiconductors, properties of porous materials, and so on. It was found that, with approaching the percolation threshold pc = 0.35, the resistivity decreases, and the electrical conductivity increases accordingly. An increasing number of individual ferromagnetic nanogranules in (p)–Fe2O3–(1–p)MBT composites merge with the formation of individual Fe2O3 clusters in the bentonite matrix, which combine to form a continuous network of clusters. This is due to the fact that the resistivity ρ of the composite is mainly determined by the magnetic component of the latter

Synchronous Multi-Zone Modulation for Control of Inverter-Based Power Electronic Systems: Overview of Recent Research
Authors:   Institute of Power Engineering, Republic of Moldova, Oleschuk V. I.
Published: November 2022

This publication provides a brief overview of the results of recent research works by the author in the field of power electronics, carried out and published mainly in 2019–2021, and awarded with the Premium “Boris Lazarenko” of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova in the field of engineering. The methodological basis of those investigations is an original alternative method of the synchronous multi-zone space-vector modulation of signals of voltage source inverters as the main workhorses of adjustable speed electric drives and renewable energy systems. Therefore, basic strategies, schemes, and algorithms of synchronous multi-zone modulation have been further developed, modernized, modified, and disseminated for the control of novel promising topologies of power conversion systems for variable speed drives and for photovoltaic installations. It is shown that the developed schemes and algorithms of the synchronous space-vector modulation applied for control of inverter-based systems provide continuous synchronization and symmetry of the basic voltage waveforms of systems during the whole control range. It provides minimization of even harmonics and undesirable subharmonics (of the fundamental frequency) in spectra of the basic voltages of systems, leading to reducing the losses in the systems and to increasing their efficiency. Based on a comparative analysis of the integral spectral characteristics of the phase voltage of the systems, recommendations are formulated for the rational choice of schemes and algorithms of the synchronous space-vector modulation for the relevant installations, depending on the modes of their operation.

Published: November 2022

This work deals with the influence of the parameters of the working fluid (hydrostatic pressure, temperature, electrical conductivity) and the geometry of the electrode system (the length of the interelectrode gap and the uninsulated part of the anode) on the pre-breakdown characteristics of an electric discharge in a liquid aqueous electrolyte (breakdown voltage and breakdown delay time) and the minimum charging voltage, which provides a stable high-voltage breakdown of the interelectrode gap. Studies have shown that an increase in the hydrostatic pressure leads to an increase in most of the studied characteristics. At the same time, an increase in the specific electrical conductivity and temperature was observed to lead to their decrease. At the same time, it was suggested that the effect of temperature on the pre-breakdown characteristics is associated with a change in the specific electrical conductivity of the working fluid during its heating. The data obtained showed no effect of the length of the interelectrode gap on the breakdown voltage and its breakdown delay time, as well as the minimum charging voltage. The results of the experimental studies made it possible to develop a criterion for determining the charging voltage, which provides a stable high-voltage breakdown of the water interelectrode gap. Its experimental verification has shown that it can be applied to the design of electric discharge equipment and to the choice of technological modes of operation in the specified range of parameters.
Investigating the Rate of Return from Portfolio Management Strategies
Authors: Adindu-Dick Joy Ijeoma
Published: November 2022

This work investigates the rate of return from two portfolio management strategies. We first examine the return from total investment which includes both investment in the risky stock and investment in the risk-free asset. Secondly, we examine the return from investment in the risky stock only. We derive some optimality properties for the two portfolio management strategies. We show that the limiting behaviour of the rate of return on total investment is determined by the limiting behaviour of a related diffusion process.

Published: November 2022

Entrepreneurship education is globally seen as the answer to the growing socio-economic problem of unemployment and also a crucial element of growth and stability in any economy. Indeed, the prosperity of every country to a large extent is dependent on entrepreneurship. This study examined the extent at which creative thinking method has been utilized in implementing entrepreneurship education curriculum in tertiary institutions in Enugu state, Nigeria. The population for this study includes all entrepreneurship students at Enugu State's four private universities. The total population of the study is made up of nine hundred and sixty-seven (967) respondents. The study's sample size is 322 respondents. This sample was determined using the formula recommended by Yamane (1973). Data for the study were collected through a structured questionnaire. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation to answer the research questions. The independent sample T-test was used to test the hypothesis. The study revealed that the utilization of creative thinking method in entrepreneurial skills is low. It is therefore the recommendation of this study that teachers should use a brainstorming strategy in teaching in schools and conduct more studies discussing this strategy and its relation to other variables such as critical thinking and teachers should use visual representations while teaching entrepreneurship lessons.

This research was carried out in the bird´s experimental area of the Santa Inés Farm (Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Universidad Técnica de Machala), El Oro Province, Ecuador. The objective was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal in the feed of Cobb 500 chickens on carcass and visceral parameters. To guarantee the welfare of the chickens, all the suggestions for open-shed systems was followed, as well as a basic vaccination schedule applied in the area. The variables evaluated were: antemortem weight; blood, feathers, viscera, thighs, counter-thighs, breast, shoulder, wings, neck, legs, head, heart, liver, gizzard, spleen, intestines and gizzard fat expressed as a percentage, and finally abdominal fat was expressed in millimeters. A Completely Randomized Design was applied, consisting of 5 treatments (T) with 4 experimental units, containing 10 chickens each one. The T1 or control without M. oleifera meal, while T2, T3, T4 and T5 incorporated Moringa leaf meal at a rate of 1, 2, 3 and 4%, respectively. An ANOVA analysis was used prior to observing the assumptions of normality and homogeneity, and to discriminate among the means, the Bonferroni multiple comparison procedure was applied, with a 95% confidence level. All calculations were obtained through the statistical program Statgraphics Centurión XV.I. The results showed that there is no negative effect on the variables evaluated, which allows to assume that up to 4% Moringa meal can be used in feed for chickens without any restrictions since it does not affect the weight of the carcass.
