Lexicographical Landscape: An Investigation into Digital Tools, Preferences, Challenges and Usage Patterns among Pakistani Graduate ESL Learners
Authors: Mamona Yasmin Khan  , Ambreen Ayaz  
Published: March 2024

The present study explores the uses, preferences and challenges of ESL learners in using digital lexicographical tools in typical Pakistani context. As technologies continue to shape language learning, the importance of digital lexicographical tools has increased substantially. However, the specific preferences and challenges in using these tools by the ESL learners are less explored in Pakistani context. The researchers employed mixed method approach and floated a questionnaire among 200 ESL learners from public sector universities eliciting their preferences, challenges and frequency of use. Additionally, focus group discussions and individual interviews provide deeper insights into participant’s perspective. Findings of the study reveal that these ESL learners exhibit strong tendency in using digital lexicographical tools (DLTs) due to easy accessibility and convenience in use. Most popular DLTs include Google online dictionary, Oxford Dictionary, thesauruses and Merriam Webster (Mobile Apps). Nevertheless, the study identifies challenges faced by the participants, such as limited internet connectivity, Google advertisements that impede a successful and trouble-free consultation process, the terminology used to describe the difficult terms they seek is beyond their comprehension lack of teachers’ guidance in selecting appropriate tools. They have positive attitude towards digital lexicographical tools to help them enhance their lexical development and language knowledge. Through DLTs, they have experienced a sense of autonomy and independence in learning. Furthermore, the study proposed that there is a need to gain guidance from teacher to select an appropriate and suitable digital lexicographical tools and suggested digital lexicographical tools based on their level of understanding.

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a hepatotoxin that causes toxicity in animals on its exposure. Hepatotoxins lead to hepatic demage that is treated by generating antioxidant effect. Synthetic and as well as natural drugs are available for this purpose but phyto-based herbal medicines got paramount importance against drug induced hepatotoxicity Current research was conducted to inspect the protective effect of aqueous extract of Helianthus annuus seeds pre-treatment on the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in Balb C mice. Study covered the valuation of the enzymatic activity such as alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and other biochemical components like bilirubin, total protein, catalase, glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde bis-(dimethyl acetal) tetra ammonium (MDA). The induction of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) caused rise in plasma ALAT, ASAT, ALP and LDH. Helianthus annuus seeds extract (HA extract) pre-treatment obliterated CCl4-induced deviations in the activities of these enzymes significantly. Bilirubin level increased whereas total protein contents decreased after the induction of CCl4 this effect was reversed by HA extract. Induction of CCl4 caused increased in MDA level while decrease in GSH and catalase. Helianthus annuus seeds extract also abolished these changes. Helianthus annuus seeds extract pre-treatment also prevented CCl4-induced changes in bilirubin and total protein contents. Carbon tetrachloride treatment resulted in huge hepatic damage. This was prevented by Helianthus annuus seeds extract. These results show that Helianthus annuus seeds extract pre-treatment prevented the mice from CCl4-induced hepatic damage, which visibly shows its defensive effects against hepatic damage.

Published: March 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a worldwide concern. The overuse and abuse of antibiotics pose a severe hazard to low-income nations in addition to reducing therapeutic choices. This is a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at the Doctors Hospital and Medical Center surgical ICU in Lahore between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. Three hundred sixty-four patients' blood, tracheal, and urine culture data were gathered from patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit and processed by CLSI's standard microbiological methods. Stanford University's web-based anti-bio gram and CLSI were used to construct the anti-bio gram. The study examined 364 individuals, and the cultures that were taken from various places included the trachea (13%), urine (33%), and blood (54%). No organism has been identified from blood cultures thus far. Klebsiella (5), Acinetobacter (4), and Pseudomonas (3) were the most frequently isolated species from tracheal cultures and E. coli, with four isolates, followed by Klebsiella with three and Pseudomonas with two isolated from urine cultures. Staphylococcus sp. exhibited 100% resistance to vancomycin and linezolid. For both Acinetobacter and Klebsiella, colistin showed 100% resistance. E. coli was resistant to moxifloxacin (p value= 0.04). Since multidrug-resistant bacteria are often seen in intensive care units (ICUs), we must use caution when prescribing broad-spectrum antibiotics to avoid overtaxing weaker strains. Preventing the spread of resistant isolates in critical wards and preserving ICU patients will have advantageous outcomes.

LA DISCIPLINA ECONÓMICA EN LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL SENTIDO COMÚN, UN ACERCAMIENTO DESDE EL INSTRUMENTAL ANALÍTICO GRAMSCIANO.
Authors: De Büren María Paula 
Published: March 2024

Desde las últimas décadas del siglo XIX el liberalismo económico ha ido progresivamente perdiendo consenso en las sociedades europeas lo que desemboco en un conjunto de reformas sociales a favor de los sectores trabadores, de ello no solo fue testigo participe la sociedad en su conjunto, sino también la disciplina económica. Sin embargo, desde allí en adelante se han generado intentos de retornos al liberalismo económico puro cuyo ascenso al poder se cristalizaron en la puesta en la marcha y sostenimiento del modelo económico, político y social neoliberal en las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Su expansión alcanzó tanto a la sociedad política como a la sociedad civil, es decir alcanzo los espacios de poder estatal y se expandió en las creencias y formas de comprender lo social que permitieron sustentar y mantener las reformas aplicadas por el primero. En este contexto, este trabajo pretende rescatar el herramental analítico que el estudio de los intelectuales de Antonio Gramsci propicia para analizar de qué forma la disciplina económica ha contribuido a la construcción de esta nueva hegemonía, de este nuevo consenso, intentando analizar el modo en que ella ha conquistado un espacio disciplinar.

Published: March 2024

Este artículo expone algunos datos y reflexiones que se plantean como una contribución para explicar y comprender prácticas y procesos -de comunicación, inserción, organización- desplegados por migrantes africanos en Argentina. Lo anterior, prestando especial atención a la experiencia de la circulación, la inserción en redes sociales y la producción y puesta en juego de saberes específicos por parte de tales actores en territorios diversos interconectados a partir de las trayectorias migratorias. Tales aportes se desprenden de poner en diálogo resultados del trabajo realizado en dos proyectos de investigación en curso -con inserción en la Université Lumière de Lyon 2 y en la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP), respectivamente-, que indagan, a través de aproximaciones etnográficas con objetivos diferentes, el fenómeno de una nueva corriente migratoria desde diversos países de África en Argentina (América del Sur). El relevamiento de campo es desarrollado a partir de entrevistas, conversaciones informales y observación participante en espacios de la vida cotidiana de migrantes africanos, en su mayoría de nacionalidad senegalesa, arribados al país en la última década y con residencia en las ciudades de Buenos Aires y La Plata.

It is a rare sample of Manchu original literature that was compiled by a Mongol Sungyûn (Songyun 松筠) in 1790. The text was edited by Furentai, and in 1809 was translated into Chinese by a famous connoisseur of Manchu and Chinese literature Fugiyûn (Fujun 富俊). The bilingual manuscript from the IOM, RAS bears red personal seals of Fujun and the red seal of the printing house Shao-yi-tang 紹衣堂 that prove that the copy belonged to the translator. The text consists of 120 stories told by 120 old men. They mostly concern the life of simple Manchu bannermen, their everyday problems and financial difficulties often caused by Chinese merchants. The author solves them according to the Confucian moral teachings. Much attention is paid to training of the army and education. Descriptions of daily life in this work are of interest for historians, while its Manchu text is a good source for studies of Manchu original literature and language.
The compilation history of “The stories of one hundred and twenty old men” is described in three prefaces to the manuscript. Their English translation, accompanied by a transcription of Chinese and a transliteration of Manchu originals, is given in this article.

Authors: Kareem Hamajan Diyaree , D. Mohammed Hussein 
Published: March 2024

Urban sprawl is one of the main threats in the city, and the present study focuses on the discussion and investigation of urban sprawl. Urban sprawl impacts the environment and agricultural fields in Erbil. The city has witnessed a remarkable rapid increase in population and urbanization at the expense of agricultural and pastoral lands, political, economic, and social factors. All these factors led to prevent the city from becoming green, which resulting in some issues like economic, social, and environmental. The most essential application of (GIS) technology is urban sprawl monitoring. It helps to determine the direction of expansion of urban areas, its pattern, and finding the most suitable sites for further urban development.
(GIS) spatial analysis covered the geo-processing application, which is the classification of maps of Erbil to detect the change detection (LULC) through two periods, 2010 to 2018. It is to discover how much the city has changed and improved over the selected years. The changes and developments that happened over the passing years illustrated in the figures and tables in the results and discussion sections. The purpose of this study is to recommend organized solutions for the unlimited growth of urbanization.
The results showed the Landsat and Satellite Images of Erbil city due years 2010 and 2018 using ArcGIS Pro. Geo-referencing and digitizing the maps of Erbil gave the spatial data surveying as a result for analyzing the changes and comparing them due to the specified years to see the differences that happened to the city. Furthermore, as a result, the vacant land area decreased by 33.20%, whereas the urban area increased by 15.86% from 2010 to 2018
