The Short Story Collection 'Aas Paas' in the Mirror of Feminist Issues
Authors: Dr. Muhammad Khurram Yasin  , Dr. Muhammad Awais Saleemi  , Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Farooq  
Published: February 2025

Ahmed Nadeem Qasmi's short stories, particularly those in "Aas Paas," illuminate the struggles and resilience of women navigating a patriarchal society. Through characters like Khani and Gulzar, Qasmi exposes the limitations imposed by societal expectations and economic dependence on men. Their stories showcase the challenges of reconciling societal pressures with personal desires, often leading to emotional turmoil and unfulfilled dreams.Beyond individual narratives, Qasmi paints a broader social commentary. Gender norms and expectations pervade, objectifying women and restricting their choices. Characters like the female short story writer in "Bhari Duniya Mein" face marginalization based solely on appearance. This collection explores the yearning for love and connection, a constant battle against societal constraints that hinder women's autonomy while "Churil" takes a somber turn, depicting the plight of a woman during the Partition. Loss and trauma lead to mental instability, further ostracized by the villagers who brand her a witch. This story highlights the vulnerability of women in conflict, their resilience in the face of immense loss, and the societal stigma surrounding mental health.By portraying these diverse experiences, Qasmi challenges conventional notions of femininity. He exposes the deep-seated prejudices and gender inequalities that hinder women's emotional well-being and self-determination. His work serves as a call for greater understanding, empathy, and societal change. Qasmi's stories are not just reflections of reality, but catalysts for change, urging readers to confront the complexities of gender dynamics and advocate for a more just and equitable world. This article brings into limelight Qasmi’s feminist criticism approach in “Aas Paas”

Bridging Nature and Transcendentalism Through Poetry: Athar Tahir's Poetry and Thoreau's Ideals
Authors: Tayyeba Ashfaq  
Published: February 2025

The study seeks to investigate transcendentalism in and through nature, to discover oneself and the truth behind him. As a result, various seasons and natural elements depict his inner turmoil. Athar Tahir's poetic collection, Just Beyond the Physical depicts communion with nature, influenced by the Romantic literary movement. The sound, musicality, and image depiction draw him closer to the romantics. Furthermore, he extends nature beyond its physical existence. Thoreau presents a version of "applied" Transcendentalism. The concept of nature is central to this thinking, not just the more abstract Emersonian notion of nature, but a wild nature beyond humans. Words and phrases with the concepts of wildness and wilderness are gathered using qualitative analysis, and they are then equated with man and transcendentalism. Thoreau's essay Walking serves as the pivotal point for the research, wherein he emphasizes the importance of mobility and walking in the wilderness. This research examines Thoreau's view of walking as a form of transcendence as he famously stated, "Wildness is the preservation of the world."
Keywords; Thoreau, Transcendentalism, Athar Tahir, Walking, Wildness, Wilderness.

Authors: Rubina  
Published: February 2025

The writer is often referred to as the "eyes of society." Whatever the writer observes in society, they blend with imagination and bring it to the page, presenting various subjects through their creations. In fictional literature, diverse societal themes are found, reflecting different aspects of life. Novels, in addition to other topics, often explore the conflict between different social classes. The shining star of Urdu literature, Qurratulain Haider, has reflected this class conflict in her various works. Her first novel, Mere Bhi Sanam khane, deals with the decline of the upper class due to the Partition of India. In this novel, she has portrayed various social classes. The subject of this research paper is an analysis of the depiction of class conflict in Qurratulain Haider's novel Mere Bhi Sanam khane. The purpose of this research study is to explore how class conflict is expressed in the novel, which classes are represented, and what perspective the author has on these different classes. By using Qualitative research methods, it has been concluded that the author has skillfully portrayed the various social classes of her time in this novel. She highlights the nature of the relationships between these classes, presenting the behaviors and characteristics of characters from different classes, thus bringing forth both the virtues and flaws of that era. The study also examines to what extent the author successfully highlights the existing conflict between these social classes.

A Doença de Parkinson é neurodegenerativa, com sintomas motores (SM) e não motores (SNM). A Estimulação Encefálica Profunda (EEP) implanta eletrodos para modular circuitos cerebrais. A A EEP no Núcleo Ventral Intermédio (EEP-VI) trata tremores, a EEP no globo pálido interno (EEP-GPi) melhora SM, e a EEP no núcleo subtalâmico (EEP-NST) atua em SM e SNM, sendo o alvo preferencial. Objetivos: Avaliar a visão atual acerca da EEP em sintomas não motores: transtorno comportamental do sono REM (TCSR), Constipação e Depressão, para DP. Métodos: Esta revisão integrativa sintetiza resultados de pesquisas nas bases PubMed, MEDLINE e Scielo, com termos-chave específicos. Foram selecionados 17 artigos (2019-2024), mas apenas 10 embasaram o projeto. Os demais foram excluídos por não cobrirem a seção temática. Resultados: A EEP-NST bilateral alivia SNM, incluindo TCSR, mas piora sintomas olfativos e melhora parcialmente a constipação. A EEP-GPi mostrou eficácia apenas em SM. Alguns pacientes não evoluíram em SNM, e a EEP-NST pode causar deterioração cognitiva ao longo do tempo. Conclusão: A EEP é eficaz para tratar SM, mas há poucos estudos sobre seus efeitos em SNM, especialmente neuropsicológicos. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para compreender melhor sua ação nos SNM e otimizar o tratamento para pacientes com Doença de Parkinson.
(Re)construire la maison de Swift : la scène emprisonnée comme dispositif de recherche
Authors: Ali Waël , Dubois Simon 
Published: February 2025

Dans cet article écrit à deux mains, Simon Dubois et Waël Ali reviennent sur un pan peu connu de l’histoire du théâtre syrien contemporain. En effet, leur démarche d’archivage d’une histoire sensible de l’engagement en Syrie durant les années 1980 les a conduits à reconstituer l’expérience d’une troupe de théâtre clandestine en prison. Ils réalisent ici un retour historique et analytique sur ces pièces en cellule qui ont été mises en scène entre 1987 et 1991 dans la prison de Saidnaya, où plusieurs militants de l’opposition étaient emprisonnés.
Théâtre afghan post-2021
Authors: Hermann Sarah , Khajehi Yassaman 
Published: February 2025

Cet article examine la renaissance du théâtre afghan contemporain, particulièrement depuis 2021, à travers des créations d’artistes afghan·es exilé·es en France. Ces oeuvres explorent les thèmes de l’exil, de l’identité et de la résistance culturelle face aux crises récentes, comme la reprise du pouvoir par les talibans. En mettant en scène leurs parcours personnels, ces artistes transforment le théâtre en un espace de guérison et de revendication. Les pièces abordent des sujets sensibles, comme la condition féminine et le patriarcat, tout en célébrant la mémoire culturelle afghane. Ce théâtre en exil incarne une quête identitaire et un besoin de témoignage.

A prevalent endocrine condition, diabetes mellitus (DM) is generally characterized by diminished insulin function, which results in hyperglycemia and complications such as neuropathy and retinopathy. Bigunaides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and SGLT2 inhibitors are common oral antidiabetic drugs while each has unique adverse effects. A medicinal herb called Tinospora cordifolia has the potential to control blood sugar levels by lowering oxidative stress and increasing insulin secretion. In the experimental rat model, diabetes was induced using alloxan. 50 rats were split up into ten groups for the study in order to examine how T. cardifolia extract affected blood glucose levels. Following alloxan-induced diabetes, the rats were given metformin, different dosages (such as 300mg, 600 mg and 900 mg) of T.cardifolia extract or plain water and food from day 7 to day 42. Elevated blood glucose, liver damage (increased SGPT/SGOT), kidney dysfunction (high creatinine/urea), and changed lipid profiles were all consequences of alloxan-induced diabetes. The therapeutic potential of the plant extract in managing diabetes and its complications is suggested by the significant reduction in blood glucose, improvement in liver and kidney markers, and correction of lipid imbalances, especially at medium (600mg) and high doses (900 mg).

Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis remains the priority of national disease control programs, while extra-pulmonary cases are increasingly observed, often at a late stage. Additionally, in sub-Saharan Africa, data on these extra-pulmonary locations are scarce.
Methodology: This is a prospective, multicenter, descriptive, and analytical study including patients followed for extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Departments of Fann National University Hospital and Hôpital Principal de Dakar, from March 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020. Data were entered into Epi Info™ version 7.2.2.6, exported to Excel, and processed using R software version 3.4.1.
Results: Overall, 189 patients were included. The mean age was 39 ± 16 years with a male predominance at 65.6%, representing a sex ratio of 1.9. Regarding medical history, a previous tuberculosis contact was found in 44 patients (23.3%) and a history of tuberculosis in 15 patients (7.9%). HIV infection was the most representative comorbidity in 34.4% of patients, followed by hypertension (7.9%) and diabetes (3.7%). Lymph node tuberculosis was the most frequent (54%), followed by neurological (26.2%), pleural (18.5%), and peritoneal (13.8%) locations in patients living with HIV, while in HIV-negative patients, pleural, peritoneal, and vertebral locations were more frequent than neurological involvement. The case fatality rate was 10.1%. Factors associated with death were age over 60 years: aOR: 1.07 (95% CI: 1.02–1.11), neurological location of tuberculosis: aOR: 7.05 (95% CI: 1.87–26.59), and anemia with hemoglobin level < 10 g/dl: aOR: 7.87 (95% CI: 1.62–38.1).
Conclusion: Tuberculosis remains a public health concern in resource-limited countries. In our series, young adult males were the most affected. Lymph node involvement was the most frequent location, followed by neurological and pleural and peritoneal serous involvement. More than a third of patients were co-infected with HIV, and factors associated with death were age over 60 years, neurological location, and the presence of anemia. Proper management of these factors could improve patient care.

SummaryThe WHO Collaborative Study on Psychological Problems in General Health Care examined the frequency, form, course and outcome of psychological problems in general health care settings. A total of 25,916 general health care attenders at 15 sites in 14 countries were screened using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Of those screened, 5,438 were assessed in detail using a Primary Health Care version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI-PHC) in conjunction with the Brief Disability Questionnaire, the Social Disability Schedules, a self rated overall health status form and the 28-item General Health Questionnaire. The analysis has shown that sleep problems were common at all sites with: 26.8% of all patients having some form of sleep problem and 15% of the patients examined had trouble falling or staying asleep. Of those with sleep problems, 51.5% had a well-defined International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) mental disorder (such as depression, anxiety, somatoform disorders or alcohol problems) and 48.5% of those with sleep problems for at least two weeks or more did not fulfil the criteria for any well defined ICD-10 diagnosis. Persons with sleep problems reported a degree of disability in the performance of their daily activities and social roles even when they had no symptoms of psychological disorders. When such symptoms were present the disability was significantly increased.
Family history of pre‐eclampsia as a predictor for pre‐eclampsia in primigravidas
Authors: Cincotta R.B. , Brennecke S.P. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractObjective: To assess the clinical utility of knowledge of a family history of pre‐eclampsia as a predictor for the development of pre‐eclampsia in primigravid women. Methods: 368 primigravid women were prospectively recruited from the outpatients department of an obstetric teaching hospital. Details of any family history of pre‐eclampsia were obtained from the women and their subsequent obstetric outcomes were observed. Results: Of 368 primigravid women, 34 (9.2%) developed pre‐eclampsia. Eighteen (4.9%) women of the total group stated that they had a mother (12), sister (five) or both (one) who had had pre‐eclampsia. Of these 18 women, five (27.8%) developed pre‐eclampsia. Of the women who had no family history, 29 (8.3%) developed pre‐eclampsia (relative risk, RR = 3.4; 95% CI, 1.5–7.6; P = 0.018). Four (22.2%) of the women with a positive family history developed severe pre‐eclampsia compared to 18 (5.1%) with a negative family history (RR = 4.3; 95% CI, 1.6‐11.5; P = 0.017). Conclusions: In a primigravida, a family history of pre‐eclampsia is associated with a fourfold increased risk of severe pre‐eclampsia. This clinical history identifies a group who warrant close clinical surveillance during pregnancy and who may be suitable for trials of prophylactic interventions.
Biochemical markers in the synovial fluid of glenohumeral joints from patients with rotator cuff tear

Published: July 2002

AbstractIt is known that rotator cuff tears are sometimes accompanied by joint destruction. Our purpose was to elucidate the pathology with this condition. Thirty‐two synovial fluid (SF) samples aspirated from the glenohumeral joints of patients with rotator cuff tears, including 7 with partial‐thickness and 25 with full‐thickness tears of the rotator cuff (10 massive and 15 isolated supraspinatus tendon (SSp) tears), were examined. Collagenase (MMP‐1), stromelysin 1 (MMP‐3), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases‐1 (TIMP‐1) and carboxy‐terminal type II procollagen peptide (pCOL II‐C) were measured in the SF using the respective sandwich enzyme immunoassays. Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) was also quantified with a cationic dye binding method using 1,9‐dimethylmethylene blue. Levels of any molecules except pCOL II‐C in the SF appeared to be higher in full‐thickness tears than those in partial‐thickness tears. Moreover, levels of MMP‐1, MMP‐3 and GAG in the SF were significantly higher in massive tears of the rotator cuff in comparison with those in isolated SSp tears. Such significance was not observed in the levels of TIMP‐1 or pCOL II C in the SF. We examined the relation of those levels with operative findings or clinical parameters from full‐thickness tears, and observed significant correlations of the tear size with the levels of MMP‐1, MMP‐3 and GAG in the SF. Although these marker molecules in SF do not always originate from cartilage, our results may indicate the potential for accelerated cartilage‐degrading activity in the glenohumeral joint in massive tears of the rotator cuff. © 2001 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Published: July 2002

AbstractChanges in expression of type III αl‐collagen and myosin II heavy chains were characterized in rabbit skeletal muscle following single stretch injury using quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction. Collagen III expression was highly elevated in the injured leg compared with the control limb both at the myotendinous junction and in the distal muscle belly. While upregulation of collagen III expression at the myotendinous junction was maximal on day 1, collagen III expression in the distal muscle belly was unchanged on day 1 but highly elevated by day 3. Over the initial 7‐day period, there was on average a 94% increase in collagen III expression at the myotendinous junction and a 42% increase in the distal muscle belly. On the other hand, there was little difference, in fact, slightly less expression of myosin II isoforms, in the injured leg compared with the control side. Immunohistochemical analysis of injured muscle showed significant collagen III deposition at the myotendinous junction beginning at day 3 post‐injury and still evident by day 14. Focal deposits of type I and III collagen were first apparent in the distal muscle belly by day 3 and striking by day 7. Taken together, the data suggest the formation of connective tissue scar at the injury site and the absence of significant muscle regeneration following muscle stretch. Furthermore, microinjuries distant to the primary site of injury may result in more general muscle fibrosis and scarring. © 2001 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Coupling of dopamine receptor subtypes to multiple and diverse G proteins
Authors: Sidhu Anita , Niznik Hyman B. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractThe family of five dopamine receptors subtypes activate cellular effector systems through G proteins. Historically, dopamine receptors were thought to only stimulate or inhibit adenylyl cyclase, by coupling to either Gsα or Giα, respectively. Recent studies in transfected cells, reviewed here, have shown that multiple and highly diverse signaling pathways are activated by specific dopamine receptor subtypes. This multiplicity of signaling responses occurs through selective coupling to distinct G proteins and each of the receptors can interact with more than one G protein. Although some of the multiple coupling of dopamine receptors to different G proteins occurs from within the same family of G proteins, these receptors can also couple to G proteins belonging to different families. Such multiple interactions between receptors and G proteins elicits functionally distinct physiological effects which acts to enhance and subsequently suppress the original receptor response, and to activate apparently distinct signaling pathways. In the brain, where coexpression of functionally distinct receptors in heterogenous cells further adds to the complexity of dopamine signaling, minor alterations in receptor/G protein coupling states during either development or in adults, may underlie the imbalanced signaling seen in dopaminergic‐linked diseases such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor gene organization and transcription in the zebrafish embryo
Authors: Huynh Gigi , Heinrich Gerhard 
Published: July 2002

AbstractThe gene encoding zebrafish brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was cloned from a PAC genomic DNA library. The entire transcription unit was contained in two independently isolated clones that together encompass 120 kb of genomic DNA. The intron/exon organization of the zebrafish gene was found to be identical to that of the mammalian gene but only one promoter has so far been identified. The associated 5′ exon is 67% identical to exon 1c of the rat BDNF gene. A search of the 5′ flank of the cloned promoter for sequence similarities with known transcription factor binding sites revealed potential AP‐1, CREB, and SP1 binding sites. Fusion constructs containing the cloned promoter and 1.7 kb of 5′ flank and an enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter that becomes membrane‐anchored were injected into 1–8 cell stage embryos. Expression was seen in notochord, muscle, epithelial and endothelial cells of the 1‐day‐old embryo in consonance with the endogenous gene. These results demonstrate that the cloned promoter mediates cell‐specific expression.
