Published: July 2024

It is essential to know the precise levels of compliance with physical activity recommendations for each population group and the determinants that condition them directly and indirectly. A cross-sectional study was designed for Spanish undergraduate education students with the following aims: 1) To analyse the influence of body mass index, Mediterranean diet, social network addiction, emotional intelligence and sitting time as predictors of compliance with physical activity recommendations; 2) To design an explanatory model to establish the relationships between body mass index, Mediterranean diet, addiction to social networks, emotional intelligence and sitting time of students who comply with physical activity recommendations. The binary logistic regression model designed had good fit (X2=4.15, p=0.04; R2 = 0.126; Hosmer-Leneshow p> 0.05). The structural equation model designed had good fit (CFI= 0.970, NFI=0.906, IFI= 0.971, TLI = 0.960, and RMSEA0.039). It can be concluded that the regression model predicts 12.6% of compliance with physical activity recommendations. Likewise, in the regression and structural equation models, time spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity is positively related to body mass index and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
Es fundamental conocer los niveles precisos de cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física de cada grupo poblacional y los determinantes que los condicionan directa e indirectamente. Se diseñó un estudio transversal para estudiantes españoles de los Grados de Educación con los siguientes objetivos: 1) Analizar la influencia del índice de masa corporal, la dieta mediterránea, la adicción a redes sociales, la inteligencia emocional y tiempo sentado como predictores del cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física; 2) Diseñar un modelo explicativo para establecer las relaciones entre el índice de masa corporal, la dieta mediterránea, la adicción a redes sociales, la inteligencia emocional y tiempo sentado de los estudiantes que cumplen las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física. El modelo de regresión logística binaria diseñado tuvo buena bondad de ajuste (X2=4.15, p=0.04; R2 = 0.126; Hosmer-Leneshow p> 0.05). El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales tuvo buena bondad de ajuste (CFI= 0.970, NFI=0.906, IFI= 0.971, TLI = 0.960, and RMSEA0.039). Se puede concluir que el modelo de regresión predice el 12.6% del cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de actividad física. Asimismo, en los modelos de regresión y de ecuaciones estructurales, el tiempo de actividad física moderada-vigorosa tiene relación positiva con el índice de masa corporal y la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea.

At the momentarily, most of the global economic losses resulting from catastrophes are brought about by aerial floods which are expected to intensify due to climate change. Accordingly, sea level rise brought on by climate change will make coastal flooding more likely in many areas. cyclone, however, is also significantly impacted by climate change. Whilst urban flood mitigation and management are becoming more widely acknowledged as worldwide concerns. Moreover, considering catalysts for seeking methodologies for treating these natural disasters. In the era of contemporary technology, leveraging cutting-edge technologies are being utilized extensively to both monitor and reconnoiter flood-affected regions and evacuate individuals and others as crops, livestock and so on from flooded areas. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used to solve drought and flood problems through capturing thermal and multispectral images for the regions which suffer from these issues. Moreover, the recommendation for optimal UAV from alternatives of UAVs is a thorny inevitably. Thus, this study is embracing this notion and attempts to treat this issue through constructing soft recommender model for recommending the optimal UAV. The evaluation of these alternatives of UAVs are conducted based on set of influenced criteria and sub-criteria. Thus, the first step toward evaluation ptocess is modeling these criteria and sub criteria into form of tree model through utilizing Tree Soft Model (TrSM). After that, the methods of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as MEthod based on Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) is utilized for estimating criteria’s weights. Then, the generalized weights are utilized in a combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) for ranking the candidates of UAVs and recommending the optimal UAV. These techniques are united with the uncertain theory of neutrosophic for treating with incomplete information.

Published: July 2024

The reliance on debt is not only essential but also a key factor in economic growth of poor countries like Pakistan because of a meager tax base and an annuity of fiscal deficit. Trade surplus is a common tool that covers the budget deficit but twin deficit makes the economic conditions worst. The excessive borrowing can stimulate the economic cycle in the short run but in the in the long-run it creates the issues of debt-overhang. This timely study is an attempt to investigate the short-run and long-run dynamics of debt on the economy of Pakistan. The empirical results (ARDL co-integration) suggests that long-run relationships exist among the variables under consideration such as Exports and Remittances have negative effects on debt, while other variables have positive effects. The Error-Correction-Model (ECM) analysis indicates mean-reverting behavior, where the dependent variable returns to its long-run equilibrium. Post-estimation tests support the model's assumptions. The Jarque–Bera test shows that residuals exhibit normal distribution. CUSUM and CUSUMsq tests indicate reliability and stability of the regression model. There is a long-run relationship between exports of goods and services (EGS), imports of goods and services (IGS), gross fixed capital formation (GFCF), net official development assistance (NOD), personal remittances (PRR), and debt in Pakistan. In the long-run, Exports of goods and services have a negative impact, Imports of goods and services have a significantly positive impact, Gross fixed capital formation has a positive impact, Net official development assistance has a positive impact, Personal remittances have a negative impact on debt respectively. However, Trade as a percentage of GDP has an insignificant impact on debt in the long run. The study also found that the impact of each variable on Debt is different in the short run. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the factors that affect Debt in Pakistan.

Published: July 2024

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is an aromatic evergreen shrub with a long history of culinary and medicinal applications. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the therapeutic potential of rosemary and its bioactive constituents. The plant's essential oil and extracts are rich in potent antioxidant compounds, including carnosic acid, carnosol, rosmarinic acid, and ursolic acid. These phytochemicals have been extensively investigated for their diverse biological activities. Numerous studies have demonstrated the remarkable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties of rosemary extracts, attributable to their ability to neutralize reactive oxygen species and inhibit pathogenic microorganisms. Moreover, rosemary has shown promising anticancer effects, inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the proliferation of various cancer cell lines, including breast, colon, and leukemia. Emerging evidence also highlights the potential of rosemary in managing metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Its bioactive compounds have been found to modulate glucose and lipid metabolism through the activation of AMPK and PPAR pathways, thus improving glucose homeostasis and lipid profiles. Moreover rosemary has garnered significant interest for its neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. Compounds like rosmarinic acid have exhibited cholinergic and neuroprotective effects, inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity and mitigating oxidative stress in the brain, thereby potentially benefiting neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This review discusses about the vast therapeutic potential of rosemary and its constituents, highlighting the need for further research to elucidate their mechanisms of action, bioavailability, and potential synergistic effects, paving the way for their future application in modern medicine

Abstract

Background: Maternal presence or absence influences the quality of relationship between the siblings. The quality of sibling relationship is affected by the quantity of time the mother spends with her children.
Aim of the Study: Present research was aimed to investigate the sibling relationship and expression of anger in children of working women. The main objective of the study was to explore an association between the quality of sibling relationship and the quality of time given by a working mother.
Material and Method: A sample of 150 participants who were the children of working women was drawn through purposive sampling technique with age range 11to 12 years having one or more than one sibling. Demographic Information Sheet, Sibling Relationship Inventory and Child Anger Expression Scale were used to collect data.
Results: Results indicated that number of working hours of the mothers was emerged as the strongest predictors of the conflicted sibling relationship and accounted for 51 % of variance in conflicted sibling relationship. The result also indicated that children living in nuclear family had more external anger, hostility & violence and hostility as compare to the children living in joint family system.
Conclusion: On the base of results, it is suggested that sibling relationship are badly affected by the mere presence of the mother. A working mother who spends maximum time in her office is unable to settle down the conflicts arose between the siblings.

Published: July 2024

Background: Management of disturbances becomes hard due to level of chaos that promptly affect the mental health and social adaptive functioning of an adolescent. Mental health plays an important role in the cognitive functioning of an individual. Social adaptive functioning is linked with academic performance and personal working of an individual. The immense and enduring effects of these variables among adolescents may cause the psychological and physical impairment. Objective of this study was to observe the relationship among household chaos, mental health and social adaptive functioning. Method: Correlational study method was used to assess the relationship among all the variables. Convenient sampling technique was used to collect the data. Confusion hubbub and order scale, mental health inventory and child and adolescents social adaptive functioning scale were used to measure the study variables. Results: Correlational analysis showed significant negative correlation of household with mental health and social adaptive functioning. Regression analysis showed that household chaos significantly predicts mental health and social adaptive functioning of adolescents. Significant differences were also observed between boys and girls in perceived household chaos. Conclusion: Adolescents who have high level of chaos at home suffer from mental health issues and lack of social adaptive functions. Findings have implications for parents, health professionals and academicians. Reducing chaos at home can lead to improvement in well being and enhance social adaptive functioning of adolescents.

MYTHS AND MYSTERIES ABOUT COVID-19: LESSONS FOR PAKISTAN
Authors: Iqbal Tehseen 
Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing global pandemic. Although experts first identified coronaviruses in the mid-1900s, they have likely been circulating in human populations for thousands of years. The major countries have been accused by each other of spreading this virus in the world intentionally or by accident. Some studies reported that this virus has a potential to become a bioweapon. Professor Sachs said that origin of COVID-19 should be looked into. Sir Jeremy Farrar suspected that the virus was man-made. During this debate, origin of COVID-19 remains a mystery. The Sane Advice by World Health Organization is that countries need a public health system that can respond to the deliberate release of chemical and biological agents. Present day war is fought on many fronts. So, all sections of society should be vigilant and respond effectively when need arises.
