Background: The hallmark of diabetes mellitus (DM) is hyperglycemia brought on by an absolute or relative insulin shortage. Globally, the prevalence of DM is a major cause for worry. The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 26.7% of Pakistan's adult population would have diabetes in 2022, totalling over 33,000,000 cases 1. Patients with diabetes are more likely to experience electrolyte imbalances, which may be caused by an imbalance in the distribution of electrolytes. Electrolytes play a vital role in the maintenance of blood acid-base balance, composition of body fluids, blood clotting, muscle and nerve conduction. Impaired electrolytes balance in diabetics may lead to micro and macrovascular complications. Aims and objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate disturbances in serum electrolytes including Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+) and Chloride (Cl) in Type II diabetics. Methodology: This has been a descriptive cross-sectional study where random sampling technique was used. 3cc clotted blood samples of 100 Type II diabetic patients were collected from diabetic OPD and medicine wards of Gulab Devi Chest Hospital Lahore and processed in the Pathology lab of Gulab Devi Educational Complex. Results: Out of 100 samples of type II diabetic patients, there were 65 patients in which serum sodium levels were decreased. Serum potassium and serum chloride were slightly increased in some patients. Conclusion: In this study, serum sodium levels were significantly decreased in type II diabetic patients, while no significant alteration was observed in serum potassium and chloride levels. Serum electrolytes should be routinely measured in diabetics to prevent complications.

La interculturalidad y la educación Intercultural está entre nosotros mediante las reflexiones de Gonzalo Aguirre Beltrán en la década de los años cincuenta del siglo XX. Sería menester el hito de la crítica sistémica de los años noventa para que tuviera un impulso que permitiera el desarrollo de tal educación como un paradigma en construcción. A su interior se atraviesa la enseñanza de la historia, las humanidades y las ciencias sociales como un déficit de los tiempos neoliberales con rémoras en los modelos educativos que se dicen críticos de tal modelo de acumulación del sistema capitalista.

Рассмотрено использование целлюлозы, в том числе нано- и микроцеллюлозы, в рецептуре материалов на основе цемента, в частности, в композиционных материалах строительной отрасли. Материалы на основе целлюлозы представляют собой класс биополимеров, которые могут синтезироваться рас­тениями, бактериями и водорослями. В сочетании с цементосодержащей основой они могут не только повышать механические показатели качества композиционных материалов, но и положительно влиять на их экологичность на всем жизненном пути продукции. В числе основных экологических преимуществ целлюлозных добавок — ​высокая биоразлагаемость, низкая токсичность и минимальные риски для окружающей среды и здоровья людей. Обзор работ последних лет показывает, что включение целлюлозных нановолокон в цементосодержащий композит может увеличивать вязкость матриц, придавать материалу способность удерживать воду, повышать целый ряд его механических характеристик. Отмечается тенденция к увеличению прочности матриц на сжатие и изгиб по сравнению с образцами без таких добавок
The use of cellulose, including nano- and microcellulose, in the formulation of cement-based materials, in particular, in composite materials of the construction industry is considered. Cellulose-based materials are a class of biopolymers that can be synthesized by plants, bacteria and algae. When combined with a cement-containing base, they can not only improve the mechanical performance of composite materials, but also have a positive impact on their environmental friendliness throughout the life cycle of the products. The main environmental advantages of cellulose additives include high biodegradability, low toxicity and minimal environmental and health risks. A review of recent work shows that the inclusion of cellulose nanofibers in cement-containing composites can increase the viscosity of matrices, give the material the ability to retain water, and improve a number of its mechanical properties. There is also a trend to increase the compressive and flexural strength of the matrices compared to the samples without such additives.

Objective: To compare eGFR using different equations with 24-hour creatinine clearance
Methodology: We collected data of standardized 24-hour creatinine clearance of pediatric oncology patients for a period of one year and compared the efficiency of various equations for estimation of creatinine clearance with it. For error estimation we used mean relative prediction error (MRPE) and root mean square error (RMSE) and for accuracy estimation we used Lin’s correlation.
Results: Out of 100 study participants, 57 were males and 43 were females. Mean age of the population studied was 11.8 while mean BMI was 13.95. Most common tumor reported was osteosarcoma. Out of 18 equations evaluated only 5 showed an accuracy of 0.80 or more, while SEM of none of the equation is near to the desired value (zero). Minimum SEM was found to be for Schwartz (2012) equation.
Conclusions: According to our study none of the equations in current clinical practices showed a good correlation with creatinine clearance adjusted according to body surface area.

Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of longitudinal parallel compression sutures to control postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) in placenta previa/accreta patients.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of obstetrics and gynaecology, Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for Women; Nawab shah for a period of six months from 7th June 2023 to 6th Dec 2023, after getting approval from ERB of People University of Medical & Health Science. Sample size achieved through non-probability consecutive sampling. Women fulfilling inclusion criteria were selected from the operation theatre of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, PUMHS Nawabshah. To control life threatening PPH owing to placenta previa (with or without accreta) during caesarean section, longitudinal parallel compression sutures in operating room. Outcome variables observed includes amount of blood loss, number of days stayed in the hospital, need for concurrent procedure, need of hysterectomy, and maternal death. Data was entered and analysed on SPSS 25.
Results:
The stitch was applied in 31 patients. The technique was effective, and successful as a single procedure in 11 patients (35.43%). 6 patients (19%) needed additional tamponade; 12 patients (38%) also received concurrent uterine artery ligation while 2 needed ovarian artery ligation. Despite concurrent procedure 3 patients ended up for hysterectomy (9.1%). The most common indication of caesarean section was placenta previa (51%), mostly done at a gestational age of 37 weeks ± 1.84 standard deviation. Mean age of the patient was 29 years. Estimated blood loss was more than 1.5 litre as seen in 22.6% of the patients and 71.6% patients need blood transfusion. Uterine atony was a common cause of PPH (51%). 51.6% of patients discharged within 3 days of surgery. Two patients expired.
Conclusion:
The innovative suture techniques have shown promise in improving surgical outcomes in resource-constrained environments, especially in developing countries. This effectiveness can help bridge the gap between limited resources and the need for quality surgical care.

Metode elektromagnetik (EM) merupakan salah satu metode geofisika yang sering digunakan untuk berbagai macam keperluan. Beberapa aplikasi metode ini diantaranya adalah deteksi gas hidrat, klasifikasi reservoir hidrokarbon potensial pemetaan distribusi fluida dalam reservoir, dan identifikasi sebaran pupuk pada lahan pertanian Salah satu objek yang dapat diidentifikasi oleh metode EM adalah penentuan posisi cebakan air tanah (akuifer). Metode EM sangat efektif untuk memisahkan objek yang memiliki perbedaaan konduktivitas yang signifikan terhadap lingkungan sekitarnya pada kondisi overburden mass (lapisan penutup) yang relatif dangkal. Akuifer merupakan objek yang memiliki perbedaan konduktivitas signifikan terhadap lingkungannya, sehingga metode EM dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi posisi akuiver. Salah satu metode elektromagnetik yang dapat digunakan adalah Metode Electromagnetic Very Low Frequency (EM-VLF) dikarnakan metode ini dapat bekerja dengan operasional yang mudah, mobilitas yang cepat, serta biaya yang relatif murah, maka metode ini tepat untuk dilakukan pada daerah yang memiliki morfologi dan topografi yang cukup berat. Terlihat bahwa posisi anomali konduktif dari filter Fraser diperkiran berada pada meter 48-74 m. Nilai rapat arus yang tinggi (positif) diidentifikasi sebagai anomali yang paling konduktif. Berdasarkan hasil filter peta RAE diduga anomali konduktif berada pada posisi 48-74 m sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa diposisi tersebut merupakan sesar. Sedangkan untuk wilayah yang konduktivitasnya rendah atau resistif berada pada posisi 74-153 m. Dan untuk konduktivitas terendah ada pada warna ungu yaitu 120-128 m.
STUDENTS’ VIEWS ON QUIZLET AS A LEARNING MEDIUM TO ENHANCE LEGAL ENGLISH VOCABULARY ACQUISITION
Authors: Huong Nhac Thanh , Chi Ngo Hoang Linh 
Published: May 2024

Legal English vocabulary acquisition is considered one of the most intriguing topics in English for specific purposes learning due to its distinctive features related to the legal field. Yet, this area has not received adequate attention from learners in determining the effective techniques to boost the legal English vocabulary learning process. Therefore, this study concentrated on clarifying English majors' attitudes towards Quizlet utilization in their legal English vocabulary acquisition in the context of legal English courses at Hanoi Law University, Vietnam. In order to achieve the ultimate purpose, the study adopted both quantitative and qualitative approach with the main data collection instruments of survey questionnaires and semi-structured interview to get insight into the situation. The study provided several remarkable findings, which were consistent with the empirical ones in the literature. Specifically, it is apparently indicated that while a large number of students found Quizlet stimulating and effective, others were still not familiar with this application in learning legal English vocabulary. In the light of these findings, it is highly recommended that both English majors and lecturers in law institutions apply and incorporate Quizlet into the learning and teaching process to enhance legal English vocabulary acquisition.

Published: December 2009

AbstractA very long chain polyunsaturated hydrocarbon, hentriacontanonaene (C31:9), was detected in an eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)‐producing marine bacterium, which was isolated from the mid‐latitude seashore of Hokkaido, Japan, and was tentatively identified as mesophilic Shewanella sp. strain osh08 from 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The geometry and position of the double bonds in this compound were determined physicochemically to be all cis at positions 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 19, 22, 25, and 28. Although C31:9 was detected in all of the seven EPA‐ or/and docosahexaenoic acid‐producing bacteria tested, an EPA‐deficient mutant (strain IK‐1Δ8) of one of these bacteria had no C31:9. Strain IK‐1Δ8 had defects in the pfaD gene, one of the five pfa genes responsible for the biosynthesis of EPA. Although Escherichiacoli DH5α does not produce EPA or DHA inherently, cells transformed with the pfa genes responsible for the biosynthesis of EPA and DHA produced EPA and DHA, respectively, but not C31:9. These results suggest that the Pfa protein complex is involved in the biosynthesis of C31:9 and that pfa genes must not be the only genes responsible for the formation of C31:9. In this report, we determined for the first time the molecular structure of the C31:9 and discuss the possible biosynthetic pathways of this compound.
Effect of Storage Conditions on the Oil Quality of Chinese Tallow Tree Seeds

Published: December 2009

AbstractThe Chinese tallow tree (TT) has been widely considered to be an invasive species in the US without potential benefits. However, the literature on TT seeds is scarce and the effect of storage conditions on seed oil quality in particular has not been published to our knowledge. Prior research revealed that TT has a very high yield of seeds containing large percentages of long and short chain fatty acids (mainly palmitic fatty acid, along with some oleic, linoleic and linolenic fatty acids), which can be base transesterified into biodiesel. This study aims to address the issue of the quality of the kernel oil of TT seeds stored at different temperatures (4 °C and room temperature) and under controlled atmosphere storage conditions (3% CO2, 6% CO2, vacuum, normal headspace). The total storage time was 3 months with the oil quality being analyzed weekly. Extracted oil was analyzed by titratable acidity, peroxide value, oxidative stability index and fatty acid composition. These experiments provided evidence that, after 12 weeks of storage, a controlled atmosphere did not produce any remarkable advantage over low cost air storage. The results validate the belief that no elaborate storage conditions are required to store this economically promising high oil content biofuel feedstock.
The exit coping response to workplace bullying
Authors: D'Cruz Premilla , Noronha Ernesto 
Published: December 2009

PurposeThis paper aims to describe the role of human resource management (HRM) in targets' coping with workplace bullying.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on a study rooted in van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenology, conducted with agents working in international facing call centres in Mumbai and Bangalore, India. Exploring targets' lived experiences, conversational interviews and sententious and selective thematic analyzes were undertaken.FindingsTargets' experiences were captured by the core theme of “protecting my interests” which subsumes four themes, experiencing confusion, engaging organizational options, moving inwards and exiting the organization. The findings highlight targets' attempts to deal with the experience of bullying, relying on their personal and social resources as well as on organizational options in order to ensure that their emotional well‐being, task‐related performance and long‐term career goals were not hampered by victimization. Participants' endeavours displayed two prominent features: the presence of turning points and the critical role of HRM in influencing multiple facets of the experience.Research limitations/implicationsThe study achieves theoretical generalizability but further research is needed to establish statistical generalizability.Practical implicationsThe engagement of HRM as a truly unitarist ideology, the development of effective employee redressal mechanisms and the relevance of pluralist approaches and collectivization endeavours emerge as crucial areas for application.Originality/valueIn addition to breaking new ground in empirically uncovering the organization's etiological role in workplace bullying, going beyond the existing work‐environment hypothesis and organization as bully conceptualization, the findings provide a new perspective on targets' exit coping response. To the authors' knowledge, workplace bullying has not been studied in India.

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to synthesise three separate but similar studies into the motivations of accountants, engineers, and nurses to come to Australia's Northern Territory. Gordon's job structures model and the labour force development implications of staples thesis are to be used to provide a view of the differences between types of jobs.Design/methodology/approachSeparate surveys of accountants, engineers and nurses registered in the Northern Territory were conducted in 2006 and 2007. Similarities in design between the studies allowed comparisons to be made regarding responses to questions about motives to move to the Northern Territory. Comparisons between the job groups were made on the basis of responses to individual motives, and a principal components analysis was used to identify groups of motives.FindingsNurses were more likely than engineers to be motivated to work with indigenous people and by their own family and social issues. Accountants were similar to engineers with regards to working with indigenous people, and similar to nurses with regards to family and social migration motives.Practical implicationsGrowing the professional workforce in the Northern Territory is a prominent government policy objective. This study shows that different approaches to recruitment need to be taken with workers in different professions.Originality/valueOne of the weaknesses in existing academic literature on recruitment and retention of professionals in rural and remote areas is a lack of studies comparing rural migration motives of labour employed in different types of jobs. This study covers those aspects of the field.
