Published: August 2024

Abstract

Climate change is a global phenomenon with broad consequences. The influence of climate change on road safety emerged as a momentous area of concern. The purpose of the study was to identify the potential relationships to understand how climatic variable (temperature) contribute to variations in road safety leading to road accidents in district Sargodha. To achieve the proposed objectives of the study, data were collected, analyzed and interpreted. Questionnaire was prepared for respondents (drivers). Accordingly, 60 drivers were participated in the study across from the district Sargodha. Generally, 60 participants were selected using convenient sampling technique. The quantitative approach has been used in order to gather and analyze the data using statistical analysis procedures with the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings and results obtained from this study mostly showed that extreme hot temperature affects vehicle body and road infrastructure similarly extreme cold temperature cause vehicle skidding ultimately leads to accidents. To encounter these challenges drivers must driving carefully, avoid high speed and meticulous driving is essential during extreme temperatures. Awareness programs and training must be given to the drivers so that they adjust their vehicles and driving habits in accordance with driving guidelines to avoid road accidents.

Abstract

Forests are vital for outdoor recreation, benefiting mental, physical, and social well-being. While the importance of forest structure in supporting biodiversity and material ecosystem functions is well-documented, research on its relationship with non-material contributions to people remains limited, and there is a lack of robust indicators for this relationship. Our study addresses this gap by estimating the economic value of recreational benefits provided by forests and quantifying the link between forest complexity and the non-material benefits forests provide. We conducted a large-scale preference survey across 12 European countries (Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Poland, Romania, Scotland, Slovakia, and Switzerland), involving 11,622 respondents. Our findings reveal significant positive correlations between forest complexity and benefits from forest visits. Preferences for older stands with diverse tree species and greater structural complexity were strongly evident across all surveyed countries. Moreover, forests with more complex structures were associated with higher annual visitation frequencies, highlighting the importance of forest quality in driving people’s exposure to nature.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to examine how Shari'ah-compliant finance can be a solution in financing BRI projects and mitigating debt risk.Method - The study uses a systematic literature review. Result - The finding shows that Shari'ah-compliant finance can provide a solution to the debt trap associated with the conventional model proposed by the Chinese government. By using BOT, the structure can facilitate financing, especially in developing countries with no technical skills as well as experience in operating massive projects. This structure offers financing of the project as well as helps in skills transfer to the local during the operating stage. Another structure is Istisna’s lease Finance, this structure focuses on financing the specific project identified by the country. This structure offers the country the ability to develop the project, lease the project, and pay back a specific amount in instalments. Despite the conventional finance where the payment contains interest, in this contract the payment is specified and cannot be changed due to interest.Implication - The study uses shari'ah-compliant financing mechanisms for belt and road initiative to mitigating debt trap risks.Originality - BRI projects are crucial for the development of the countries. The Chinese government established BRI to try to connect Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa through massive infrastructure such as roads, railways, ports, and airports. However, there is a challenge in financing these projects. Sharia-compliant Financing Mechanisms to mitigating debt trap risks.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT

This research evaluated the total nitrogen (TN), nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N), and total phosphorus (TP) loads of the lower Sutlej sub-basin using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The model simulated TN, NO3-N, and TP successfully with satisfactory values of R2, NSE, PBIAS, and RSR. The streamflow and nutrient loss were found to be most sensitive to curve number and organic phosphorus enrichment ratio, with a sensitivity ratio of 0.661 and 0.556, respectively. Simulated TN, NO3-N, and TP loss within the basin vary from 6.32 to 14.23, 0.49 to 1.81, and 2.02 to 4.10 kg/ha/yr, respectively. Maximum and minimum TN losses were 14.23 and 6.32 kg/ha/yr in WS2 and WS5, respectively. Similarly, NO3-N losses were 1.81 and 0.49 kg/ha/yr in WS6 and WS10, respectively. WS2 and WS5 observed maximum and minimum TP loss of 4.10 and 2.02 kg/ha/yr, respectively. The watersheds located in the northeastern part of the basin contributed the highest nutrient load of TN (2,709 tons for WS12), NO3-N (214 tons for WS6) and TP (729 tons for WS12). By addressing nutrient losses and implementing suggested conservation measures, the present research findings can offer valuable guidance for managing sub-watersheds to reduce the nutrient loads and manage the health of the Sutlej River in Punjab.

:
Here, we report the solvent-free one-pot multicomponent synthesis of 4-
substituted-1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives from O-phenylenediamine, aromatic aldehydes,
and dimedone using [DBUH][HSO4] as a catalyst in excellent yields. This process was carried
out in search of a reusable, easily accessible, affordable, and efficient catalyst. 1,5-
Benzodiazepines demonstrate a new family of good inhibitors with potent antimycobacterial
properties. The most promising compounds in the present series are 4c, 4i,
and 4l which showed excellent activity and inhibited the growth of both MTB H37Ra and
M. bovis BCG strains with lower MICs. The most active compounds were further studied
for their cytotoxicity against cell lines MCF-7, A549, HCT116, and THP-1 by MTT assays
and the compounds were found to be non-toxic. The fact that none of these compounds
work against either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria suggests that they are only effective against
MTB. The in silico docking of the molecules against mycobacterial enoyl reductase, InhA enzyme could provide
well-clustered solutions and have given valuable insights into the thermodynamic elements governing the
binding affinities. The findings of this investigation unmistakably point to the discovery of extremely specific
and selective MTB inhibitors, which can now be investigated further in search of possible anti-tubercular
drugs.

Published: August 2024

Background
There is a lack of investigation into the dynamics of blood lipids before, during, and after diurnal fasting, especially in inactive men.

Objective
This study determined dynamic changes in blood lipids in inactive men before, during, and after they underwent diurnal fasting.

Methods
A total of 44 young men aged a mean 27.6 (SD 5.8) years were recruited to evaluate their habitual physical activity and diet using a questionnaire developed for this study. Body composition was evaluated using a bioelectrical impedance analysis machine (Tanita BC-980). An 8-ml blood sample was collected to evaluate blood lipids and glucose. All measurements were taken 2-3 days before Ramadan, during Ramadan (at week 2 and week 3), and 1 month after Ramadan. A 1-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the measured variables before, during, and after the month of Ramadan. When a significant difference was found, post hoc testing was used. Differences were considered significant at P<.05.

Results
There was a significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein during Ramadan compared to before and after Ramadan (83.49 mg/dl at week 3 vs 93.11 mg/dl before Ramadan [P=.02] and 101.59 mg/dl after Ramadan [P=.007]). There were significant elevations in fasting blood glucose (74.60 mmol/L before Ramadan vs 81.52 mmol/L at week 3 [P=.03] and 86.51 mmol/L after Ramadan [P=.01]) and blood pressure (109 mm Hg before Ramadan vs 114 mm Hg after Ramadan; P=.02) reported during and even after the month of Ramadan, although both fasting blood glucose and blood pressure were within normal levels.

Conclusions
Ramadan fasting could be an independent factor in reducing low-density lipoprotein. Further investigations are encouraged to clarify the impact of diurnal fasting on blood lipids in people with special conditions.

Background. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the biggest global crises that has a negative impact on both the physical and mental health of the population in every country. Objective: to determine the Doppler features of blood flow in the large cerebral veins in patients with and without psychoemotional disorders after suffering from COVID-19. Materials and methods. An analysis of the results of transcranial dopplerography of cerebral venous hemodynamics was carried out in 39 patients who had COVID-19 with psy-choemotional disorders (main group), and 35 patients who had COVID-19 without psy-choemotional disorders (comparison group). Results. The vein of Galen in the comparison group was visualized in 31 (88.9 ± 5.3 %) cases, in the main group — in 37 (94.9 ± 3.5 %) cases, the vein of Rosenthal — in 25 (71.4 ± 7.6 %) and 36 (92.3 ± 4.3 %) cases (P < 0.05), the middle cerebral vein — in 19 (54.3 ± 8.4 %) and 32 (82.1 ± 6.1 %) cases (P < 0.05), straight sinus — in 21 (60.0 ± 8.3 %) and 35 (89.7 ± 4.9 %) cases (P < 0.01), respectively. Conclusions. Among patients who suffered from COVID-19 with psychoemotional disor-ders, the systolic flow velocity in the veins of the brain is significantly higher than among patients who had COVID-19 without psychoemotional disorders. In addition, the non-periodic type of Doppler spectrum is recorded reliably (P < 0.05, P < 0.001) more often, which can be explained by the development of vasospasm.
