Published: December 2021

Evaluation of carotid bifurcation level and relationship of External Carotid Artery (ECA) with reference to adjacent anatomical landmarks is important in planning various surgical and radiological procedures related to the carotid arteries. The aim was to study the relationship of External Carotid Artery with reference to Adjacent Anatomical landmarks in cadavers. 60 cadavers - 52 male and 8 female embalmed with 10% formalin were dissected over the period of two years for this study. The distance between the origin and the termination of ECA was found to be in the range of 25–70 mm on the right side and in the range of 25–68 mm on the left side. The distance between the origin of ECA and the carotid tubercle was found to be in the range of 23–50 mm on the right side and in the range of 22–48 mm on the left side. The distance between the origin of ECA and the angle of the mandible was found to be in the range of 18–30 mm on the right side and in the range of 20–32 mm on the left side. The anatomical knowledge of relationship of External Carotid Artery with reference to adjacent anatomical landmarks is helpful for vascular surgeons to plan surgeries and prevent complications during various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

The piriform aperture (PA) is the skeletal aperture located in the middle part of the face. There are many variations in morphometric measurements of nasal bones, piriform apertures and their shapes in different population. Objective of present study was to study morphological and morphometric features of nasal bone and piriform aperture. Adult human skulls available from collection of dried skulls were used for study purpose. Skull bones of unknown age and sex were obtained. Height, width of nasal bone, height, upper and lower width of piriform aperture, shapes of nasal bone and piriform aperture were observed. Height, upper width and lower width of piriform aperture were greater in male as compared to female. This difference was not statistically significant for upper width of piriform aperture (p=0.49) and for lower width of piriform aperture (p= 0.65) while the difference in height of piriform aperture was statistically significant. (p &#60;0.0001).Differences in Height and width of nasal bone were not statistically significant among male and female nasal bones. Most common shape of nasal bone observed was Type A followed by Type B and C. Most common shape of piriform aperture was triangular to oval (50.00) in both the gender. Majority finding of the present study are in concordance with Indian population studies while significant differences have been noted in comparison to the morphometric measurements of Turkish, Korean, Brazilian and Anatolian population. These variations might be because of differences in ethnicity.

Published: December 2021

Aims: In this comparative study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group reality therapy versus desipramine pharmacotherapy in reducing the craving and relapse of methamphetamine-dependent patients.
Methods: This semi-experimental research was conducted using a control group and two experimental groups of reality therapy and desipramine pharmacotherapy. The statistical population of this study included all methamphetamine-dependent patients under methadone treatment who were referred to the health clinics of Yazd city, Iran. We selected 30 patients using convenience sampling and then categorized them randomly into three groups of reality therapy, desipramine pharmacotherapy, and control. In the pre-test stage, the risk questionnaire was administered to evaluate the stimulants. The first experimental group attended 10 reality therapy sessions once a weak and was assessed immediately after the treatment. The data were analyzed using the covariance analysis.
Results: The findings showed no significant difference between the total mean score of the reality therapy and desipramine pharmacotherapy groups (F= 3.289, P= 0.087). Hence, these two interventions did not affect attenuating craving to use the drugs. To check the homogeneity presumptions of the covariance matrix and variances of the two groups, the Box (6.241) and Levine (0.250) tests were applied, respectively. The results about the experimental groups (Reality therapy and Desipramine group) compared to the control group were meaningful.
Conclusion: There was no significant difference between reality therapy and desipramine pharmacotherapy groups in reducing the craving to use the drugs. The scope of changes showed that craving for drug consumption reduced in reality therapy (51.0) and desipramine pharmacotherapy (36.0) groups.

Published: December 2021

It is an established fact that Pakistan is prone to disasters and damage caused by these disasters is immeasurable and varies with the geographical location, climate, and type of earth surface, geology and degree of vulnerability. The paper focus on underpinnings of flood response, however, emphasis will be on role of Corps of Engineers (Army), Civil-Military coordination in 2010 Floods and prolonged employment of Army on such tasks. The main focus of this paper is on the existing role of military, their relationship with the civil set-up and the expectations of both the group from each other. Moreover, this paper also reviews about the existing frameworks and mechanisms of coordination between the two groups. The paper may help managers, policy makers and army engineers and government authorities to realistically evolve flood response, and decentralized mode of operation should be adapted from national to regional level in order to follow an integrated framework for bringing all stakeholders and victims together for developing an organized response system. However, the prolonged employment of Army on mitigation of disasters must be avoided.

Micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) face numerous obstacles, such as a lack of funding, which hinder their growth and expansion. They must have access to long-term funding to improve and modernise their operations competitively. This study aims to incorporate Shariah-compliant crowd funding among MSMEs in Borno state of Nigeria. It applies partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) on a sample of 341 MSMEs and recommends the need to educate and enlighten them about the benefits of Islamic crowdfunding. The study also recommends the need to produce guidelines that will help in developing a legal and regulatory framework for the incorporation of crowdfunding into corporate financing structures. Finally, it is recommended that religious leaders at various levels organise educational programmes on the importance of Shariah-compliant crowdfunding.

Published: December 2021

This paper examines views of Islamic banks’ stakeholders, which can be used as bases for measuring and improving bank performance. Taking Indonesia as a case study, we compile information and data from both internal and external stakeholders through in-depth interview and FGD, code them using N-Vivo, and finally apply the stakeholder management framework for data analysis. The results we obtain suggest that the Internal stakeholder's view on IIB performance is relatively positive. Meanwhile, the external stakeholders tend to have varied views on Islamic banking performance. This research finds that the religious values ​​promoted by Islamic banks can increase the company's value but at the same time it can also reduce the interest in Islamic banking. Based on these findings, it is necessary to investigate further how to strategize the religious values for the promotion of Islamic banking.

Abstract
The Sichuan-Tibet region of China has always been an area with frequent earthquake disasters, accompanied by the occurrence and collapse of dammed lakes. The collapse of dammed lakes seriously threatens the lives and property safety of downstream personnel. At the same time, domestic and foreign scholars are concerned about the surrounding dammed lake there are few ecological studies on the lake, and the impact of the dammed lake on the ecology has very important enlightenment significance for our lake construction project. It is the purpose of this article to scientifically predict the risk of dam break in a barrier lake, explore its impact on the ecological environment and put forward control measures. Based on the four major dammed lake events of Diexihaizi, Tangjiashan dammed lake, and Hongshihe dammed lake in the Sichuan-Tibet area, this paper extracts water bodies from remote sensing images and uses the HEC-RAS model to determine whether there is a risk of the dam break and whether Forecast the route of the dam; and use the InVEST model to evaluate and analyze the habitat of the smallest administrative district (county/district) where it is located from 1990 to 2020 and make an evaluation based on the results of flood inundation. The results show that the stable dammed lake (Diexi Haizi) after engineering treatment has a stabilizing effect on the habitat quality index. The formation of the dammed lake has changed the nearby land-use types and the regional landscape ecological pattern. The habitat quality index will decrease slightly in the 1 km area around Sai Lake, but the habitat quality will increase in the 3 km area and the 5 km area. Artificial flood discharge and engineering reinforcement of barrier lakes are necessary. In this paper, the areas with strong human control will recover better than other regions' habitat quality index.
Encoder Hurwitz Integers: The Hurwitz integers that have the ”division with small remainder” property
Authors: Duram Ramazan , Güzeltepe Murat 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
The residue class set of a Hurwitz integer is constructed by modulo function with primitive Hurwitz integer whose norm is a prime integer, i.e. prime Hurwitz integer. In this study, we consider primitive Hurwitz integer whose norm is both a prime integer and not a prime integer. If the norm of each element of the residue class set of a Hurwitz integer is less than the norm of the primitive Hurwitz integer used to construct the residue class set of the Hurwitz integer, then, the Euclid division algorithm works for this primitive Hurwitz integer. The Euclid division algorithm always works for prime Hurwitz integers. In other words, the prime Hurwitz integers and halves-integer primitive Hurwitz integers have the ”division with small remainder” property. However, this property is ignored in some studies that have a constructed Hurwitz residue class set that lies on primitive Hurwitz integers that their norms are not a prime integer and their components are in integers set. In this study, we solve this problem by defining Hurwitz integers that have the ”division with small remainder” property, namely, encoder Hurwitz integers set. Therefore, we can define appropriate metrics for codes over Lipschitz integers. Especially, Euclidean metric. Also, we investigate the performances of Hurwitz signal constellations (the left residue class set) obtained by modulo function with Hurwitz integers, which have the ”division with small remainder” property, over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel by means of the constellation figure of merit (CFM), average energy, and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Abstract
Human activity recognition (HAR) using machine learning (ML) methods is a relatively new method for collecting and analyzing large amounts of human behavioral data using special wearable sensors. Our main goal was to find a reliable method which could automatically detect various playful and daily routine activities in children. We defined 40 activities for ML recognition, and we collected activity motion data by means of wearable smartwatches with a special SensKid software. We analyzed the data of 34 children (19 girls, 15 boys; age range: 6.59 – 8.38; median age = 7.47). All children were typically developing first graders from three elementary schools. The activity recognition was a binary classification task which was evaluated with a Light Gradient Boosted Machine (LGBM)learning algorithm, a decision based method with a 3-fold cross validation. We used the sliding window technique during the signal processing, and we aimed at finding the best window size for the analysis of each behavior element to achieve the most effective settings. Seventeen activities out of 40 were successfully recognized with AUC values above 0.8. The window size had no significant effect. The overall accuracy was 0.95, which is at the top segment of the previously published similar HAR data. In summary, the LGBM is a very promising solution for HAR. In line with previous findings, our results provide a firm basis for a more precise and effective recognition system that can make human behavioral analysis faster and more objective.
Could the candidate causal gene (LZTFL1) identified by Oxford University scientists, which doubles the risk of COVID-19-related respiratory failure, be used to boost the Weak immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)???. A double edged sword

Abstract
Patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) have an increased risk of severe infections due to disease- and treatment-related immunodeficiency. As a result, patients with hematologic malignancies have been given priority for primary COVID-19 vaccination. Unfortunately, many studies have suggested that patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have been fully vaccinated can develop severe and often fatal complications. Therefore, adjuvants that can induce mRNA vaccine efficacy are desperately needed for this category of patients with haematological malignancies. A recent, study by Oxford University scientists showed that leucine zipper transcription factor-like 1(LZTFL1), as a candidate causal gene and its enhancer the rs17713054 A risk allele was significantly responsible for the twofold increased risk of respiratory failure from COVID-19 associated with 3p21.31.By using sequence analysis, the risk allele generates a second CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta (CEBPB) motif in the enhancer. Moreover, neither LZTFL1 variants found in T cells nor B cells are responsible for increasing death risk from COVID-19 infection according to oxford study. Here, we propose attestable hypothesis that trans retinoic acid could enhance the immune response in vaccinated patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) according to the recent findings of Oxford scientists by inducing the casual gene(LZTFL1) in CD4 T cells and inhibiting (CEBPB) motif.Conclusions Haematological malignancies (blood cancers) patients are more vulnerable to COVID-19 disuse severity and mortality. Un fortunately mRNA vaccine seem to be less effective with weak immune response and insufficient level of generated antibodies in this category of patients. Therefore we suggest all trans retinoic acid is a good candidate as mRNA COVID-19 vaccine adjuvant via inducing LZTFL1 gene in CD4Tcells and this activation could improve the immune response and increase the level of the generated antibodies. Moreover LZTFL1 gene in CD4 T cells is not associated with increasing risk of COVID-19 infection because of absence of its enhancer(The risk allele of the SNP, rs17713054 A) in immune cells according to oxford recent study. In addition to all trans retinoic acid could inhibit CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta motif that is generated by The risk allele of the SNP, rs17713054 A

Abstract
The proton pump inhibitor lansoprazole (PPIL) drug is examined as corrosion inhibitor for high carbon steel (HCS) dipped in 1.0M HCl. The study was conducted utilizing ac impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Mass loss (Ml), polarization tests, and surface checks were utilized to illustrate the importance of this PPIL extract to the prevent corrosion process for HCS. The influence of temperature and concentration of PPIL on the efficiency of inhibition were tested. The corrosion mechanism occurs, when the PPIL extract molecules block the active center in the electrode surface. The inhibition efficiency (%IF) of HCS occurs by the adsorption procedure and HCS is subject to the adsorption of Langmuir. Polarization curves showed that PPIL drug is a mixed- type inhibitor that retards the dissolution of HCS. IF % was deliberated with altering in the concentration of PPIL various temperature of the medium. From the outcome data we get that the good agreement in the all methods.
