Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implementasi nilai-nilai antikorupsi dalam pembelajaran Pancasila di sekolah menengah atas. Pendidikan antikorupsi merupakan aspek penting dalam membentuk generasi muda yang berintegritas dan Pancasila sebagai dasar negara Indonesia memberikan kerangka etis yang kuat untuk mengajarkan nilai-nilai kejujuran, keadilan, dan tanggung jawab. Dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif melalui studi literatur, penelitian ini menganalisis berbagai sumber akademik dan kebijakan yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan karakter dan antikorupsi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun banyak sekolah telah berupaya mengintegrasikan nilai-nilai antikorupsi dalam kurikulum Pancasila, pelaksanaannya masih menghadapi tantangan seperti keterbatasan waktu pengajaran, pemahaman guru yang bervariasi, dan kurangnya bahan ajar yang spesifik. Siswa umumnya memahami pentingnya nilai-nilai antikorupsi, namun penerapan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari masih lemah akibat pengaruh lingkungan sosial. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan penguatan pelatihan guru, penyediaan bahan ajar yang relevan, dan dukungan kebijakan yang lebih baik dari sekolah untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pendidikan antikorupsi. Dengan demikian, pendidikan Pancasila dapat berkontribusi lebih signifikan dalam membentuk generasi muda yang berintegritas dan bebas dari praktik korupsi.

On the solvability of the Dirichlet problem for the viscous Burgers equation
Authors: Yergaliyev Madi , Sarybai Tansholpan , Zhaksybay Yrysdaulet
Published: January 2025

In this work, we study a Dirichlet problem for the viscous Burgers equation in a domain with moving boundaries that degenerates at the initial moment. The primary method of investigation is the Galerkin method, for which we construct an orthonormal basis suitable for domains with moving boundaries. Uniform a priori estimates are obtained, and based on these, theorems on the unique solvability of the problem are proven using methods of functional analysis. The viscous Burgers equation serves asa simplified model for studying fundamental aspects of nonlinear systems. It bridges the gap between purely theoretical nonlinear equations (like the inviscid Burgers equation) and more complex systems like the Navier-Stokes equations, making it a valuable tool in mathematical and physical research.

Assessing The Impact of Transforming Solar Panels from Photovoltaic to Thermal Photovoltaic Systems Within the Iraqi Climate and Studying the Effect of Force Convection
Authors: Ahmed Mustafa , Khalifa Abdul Jabbar N.
Published: January 2025

In the quest to reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and gas, and maximize the use of clean and sustainable energy sources, solar energy stands out as a leading and viable option. This form of energy harnesses electrical energy through solar panels. Over the years, photovoltaic panels have advanced significantly, but they face a major challenge: high operating temperatures. Photovoltaic panels use only a portion of the radiant energy they receive, converting the rest into unwanted heat. This not only reduces their productivity, but also shortens their lifespan. To address this problem and enhance the efficiency of incident radiation energy, thermal photovoltaic panels have been developed. This research indicates that thermal photovoltaic panels generate 3 to 4 watts more electrical energy per hour than conventional photovoltaic panels. In addition, thermal photovoltaic panels maintain lower surface temperatures, being 0.2°C to 2°C cooler than standard photovoltaic panels. This improvement extends to temperatures on the other side of the thermal PV panel and at different locations, especially during the summer. Furthermore, the thermal modules inside the PV panels can increase the temperature of the water passing through them by 3 to 4 degrees Celsius, using only one panel. Experiments involving forced convection on thermal PV panels have shown that while forced convection does not enhance electricity production – in fact, its creation consumes more electricity than it generates, reducing net power production by 1.2 to 27 watts – it does improve thermal efficiency.

Published: January 2025

Bubble columns are widely used in various industrial processes such as wastewater treatment, fermentation, and gas-liquid reactions due to their simplicity and effectiveness in mass transfer operations. In this study, we investigate the influence of gas holdup and gas velocity on the volumetric mass transfer coefficient in a bubble column reactor. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient is a critical parameter that affects the efficiency of gas-liquid mass transfer processes. Through experimental analysis and computational modeling, we systematically examine the relationship between gas holdup, gas velocity, and the volumetric mass transfer coefficient. In this study, volumetric mass transfer coefficient kL.a was calculated using air in water. The data obtained are in the range of superficial gas velocity (0.03-0.2398) m/s for air water system. The experiments were carried out using 0.1 m column diameter with 2 mm hole diameter and 79 holes gas distributor. From the experimental data it was found that kL.a increased with increasing of gas holdup and increasing of superficial gas velocity.

Authors: Samina Mustafa  , Waqar Abbas  , Saif Ullah  , Zakir Abbas
Published: January 2025

Level of education can impact access to healthcare and health outcomes. Increasing rates of depression are a major public health concern, and vulnerability to depression is compounded for individuals with a lower level of education. Depression screening is important in the management of health and more so, in Primary care and mental health. This paper aims to explore the effects of educational levels on the psychometric properties of depression measures namely BDI-II, CES-D, PHQ-9, and PROMIS Depression items. It is an objective of the proposed research to establish the sources of DIF and make recommendations on modification that can be made to eliminate bias. Specifically, extrapolating results from PROMIS 1, the NIH Toolbox, and the PROsetta Stone panel studies, it weighs the educations of participants and examines DIF values for each measure. Research findings indicate that the DIF values are higher among those with lower education levels, particularly those with high school education or lower. Using the BDI-II and the CES-D yields higher levels of education disparities than when using the PHQ-9. Such adjustments may consist in rewriting particular items to enhance their clarity, and in adapting the organisation of assessments to take into consideration disparities in schooling, in order to ensure fair and valid measurement of mental health in diverse samples.

Authors: Rabia Naz  , Saqlain Hassan
Published: January 2025

This study investigates how inflation is depicted in Pakistani and Sri Lankan English newspapers. For this purpose, the researchers have compiled a corpus of 152,917 tokens retrieved from the official websites of the Dawn (Pakistan) and the Daily mirror (Sri Lanka) newspapers. The data has been analyzed using a mixed method approach through the Sketch Engine software. Moreover, the metaphors used to portray inflation have been categorized into four types as defined by Lakoff and Jhonson: orientational, conceptual, ontological, and structural. However, the statistics indicate that the reporters have effectively used conceptual metaphors (with a frequency of 15 times in Pakistani newspaper and 62 instances in Sri Lankan newspaper) while portraying inflation in their news reports. In addition, the study has also found common discursive patterns and linguistic elements connected to the representation of inflation through keyword extraction, concordance lines, and collocation analysis. It has also been found that the discourse on inflation is shaped by socio-political elements and underlying beliefs. Hence, the findings of this comparative study add to our understanding of how print media in both these countries portray economic phenomena such as inflation, as well as the role of socio-cultural and political factors in shaping economic narratives in various contexts.

Authors: Ghulam Muhammad Channa  , Aqsa Naz  , Hina Mugheri
Published: January 2025

In the past, religious segment of the society regarded technology with suspicion, seeing it as a possible danger to customs and spiritual rituals. Nevertheless, mosques have embraced technology in recent years, moving over their initial reluctance to actively benefit from these developments. This research investigates how technology is being adopted and used in mosques, looking at how digital technologies are changing mosque’s religious services, administration, and community engagement. In order to better understand the phenomenon, the study is limited to the Islamabad Capital Territory. This lemmatization will make us able to effectively emphasize how technology through social media, Smartphone apps, and audio-visual systems etc are improving accessibility, communication, and involvement. Furthermore, the study adopts qualitative research methodology that includes surveys of worshiper/visitors and interviews with Imam/Heads/care takers of the mosques. The results demonstrate that although issues like budgetary limitations and a lack of digital literacy still exist. Technology has not only unquestionably increased the role of mosques in contemporary society by making them more inclusive and community-responsive but it also has changed the attitudes of the religious clergies towards the modernity with relation to technological advancements. In order to bridge the gap between tradition, modernity and innovation, this study contends that the religious sector, which was previously opposed to technology integration, has not only adapted to it but also benefited from it. This case study will further help religious clergies, legislators, and most importantly academics to promote a healthy coexistence of the tradition and modernity.

Authors: Hafiza Samina Razzaq  , Syeda Kainat Zahra  , Jahanzeb Jahan
Published: January 2025

This study employs Biber's lexical bundle framework to investigate the discourse in Malala Yousafzai's autobiography, I Am Malala. Utilizing corpus stylistics, this analysis examines the structural and functional roles of lexical bundles, frequently occurring word clusters, by applying Biber's (1999) structural taxonomy and Biber's (2004) functional classification. The bundles were analyzed using the AntConc software, focusing on their contribution to narrative cohesion and emotional depth. By categorizing lexical bundles into high-, mid-, and low-frequency groups, this study elucidates how they are structurally utilized (e.g., noun phrases, prepositional phrases) and functionally employed (e.g., stance expressions, discourse organizers, and referential expressions). These bundles organize key transitions, emphasize significant comparisons, and convey emotional nuances in Malala's narrative. The findings highlight how Malala's linguistic choices, informed by Biber's framework, enhance her persuasive impact as an advocate of girls' education. Additionally, this study presents opportunities for future research, including comparative studies and cross-cultural analyses using corpus linguistics.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic condition that is common and affects millions worldwide creating an immense burden to the healthcare system. Although traditional management strategies are effective, they unfortunately do tend not to adhere well. Given the rise of digital therapeutics, we rejoice in the arrival of innovative, scalable, and personalized solutions for glycemic control and patient engagement. Aim: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile or web-based digital therapeutic interventions that are targeted to improve patients' glycemic control and engagement with their T2DM. Methodology: Systematic review of peer-reviewed studies published between the years 2015 and 2023 followed PRISMA guidelines. Interventions that improved glycemic control and engagement in the adult T2DM population were included, with diverse methodologies (including RCTs, cohort studies). HbA1c and patient engagement metrics were our primary outcomes, along with behavioral and lifestyle modifications among other secondary outcomes. Results: The inclusion criteria were met by seven studies that showed reductions in HbA1c levels of 0.4 to 1.2%, even more increases in patient satisfaction, and an increased rate of medication adherence. Interventions bearing both personalized feedback and real time support, as well as gamification improved glycemic control and maintained patient engagement. One obstacle was perceived variability in such digital literacy, and another was socioeconomic barriers. Conclusion: There is evidence that mobile and web based digital interventions can improve glycemic outcomes and patient engagement with T2DM. However, although much of their potential remains, it is important to do further research on accessibility and long term efficacy to maximize their influence across diverse populations.

Objective: To assess the frequency and severity of disabling symptoms in patients diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) at the Department of Cardiology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, between June 2023 and June 2024. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted with 150 SVT patients. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire assessing the frequency and severity of symptoms such as palpitations, fatigue, chest pain, dyspnea, dizziness, and syncope. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant. Patients' symptom frequency and severity were analyzed and correlated with the frequency of SVT episodes. Results: The most common disabling symptoms were palpitations (85%) and fatigue (70%), followed by chest pain (60%) and dizziness (50%). Palpitations and fatigue were significantly associated with more frequent SVT episodes (p=0.01 and p=0.03, respectively). Symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, dyspnea, and syncope did not show significant correlations with episode frequency. Palpitations had the highest mean severity (4.5 on a Likert scale), followed by fatigue (4.0). Conclusion: This study highlights the burden of disabling symptoms, particularly palpitations and fatigue, among SVT patients. There is a significant correlation between episode frequency and symptom severity, underscoring the need for early and targeted management to improve quality of life.

إن احترام حقوق المساهمين من قبل الشركة وتحديدا شركات الاستثمار المالي يرمي إلى تحقيق عدة أهداف تتمثل بتحقيق التوافق بين أهداف جميع المساهمين مع أهداف إدارة الشركة، وتعزيز ثقة المستثمرين بكفاءة النظام الذي يحمي حقوقهم.
فشركات الاستثمار المالي تعد من أهم عوامل الاستثمار وأدواته، فهي تسهم في تجميع رؤوس الأموال الصغيرة والمتناثرة بهدف الاستفادة منها في تحريك الاقتصاد.
وعلى هذا الأساس فإن المشرع اللبناني كرس حماية المستثمرين من الممارسات غير المشروعة أو غير المتوافقة مع الأصول أو غير المنصفة، ومنحهم إمكانية حل المشكلات التي قد تواجههم عبر مجموعة من الوسائل التي تتنوع بين التقاضي والتحكيم والمفاوضات المباشرة والجماعية، كما منحهم العديد من الامتيازات المشجعة لهم على الاستثمار في لبنان.
وانطلاقا من هذه الأهداف برزت الحاجة لزيادة الدعم القانوني والتنفيذ الفعال لهذه الطرق بهدف تحسين الثقة بين المستثمرين والشركات المالية. إضافة إلى نشر الوعي بين المستثمرين سيما فيما يتعلق بحقوقهم وكيفية اتباع الطرق القانونية التي من شأنها أن تسهم في الحد من النزاعات المستقبلية.

Published: January 2025

Background: Open surgeries are associated with significant morbidities postoperatively such as pain and restricted ambulation causing delayed recovery. Among the various regional anesthesia techniques quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) are found to be effective alternatives.
Aims and Objectives: The study intended to assess the post-operative analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided (USG) guided QLB and ESPB in open urological procedures.
Materials and Methods: Ninety patients of ASA Grade I or II undergoing open urological procedures were divided into three groups. Group Q received USG-guided QLB, Group E received USG-guided ESPB and Group C received standard analgesia regimen. Each patient was assessed for the duration of analgesia, the total dose of rescue analgesics required in 24 h, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score postoperatively (at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, and 24 h) at post-anesthetic care unit and the incidence of any adverse events postoperatively.
Results: The mean VAS score was higher in the control group compared to both the study groups which was statistically significant (P<0.0001). The mean duration of analgesia was 4.87±1.01 h in Group Q and 5.13±1.01 h in Group E compared to Group C 1.40±0.50 h which was statistically significant (P<0.0001). The total rescue analgesic requirement was low in the study groups compared to the control group (P<0.0001). There was no incidence of any side effects found.
Conclusion: Both USG QLB and ESPB provide effective analgesia, decrease intraoperative and post-operative analgesic consumption, and are beneficial to shorten hospital stay in patients undergoing open urological procedures.
