Published: October 2023

Objective: To determine the efficacy of platelet indices as a tool for differentiation between clonal thrombocytosis and reactive thrombocytosis.
Study Design: Cross sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pathology, Combined Military Hospital, Lahore Pakistan, from Nov 2019 to Oct 2020.
Methodology: Fifty-six subjects were included in Reactive thrombocytosis group and 56 in Clonal thrombocytosis group. Fresh blood in EDTA anticoagulant was analyzed to determine complete blood counts and platelet parameters (Platelet distribution width, mean platelet volume, Platelet large cell ratio, Plateletcrit) using the automated hematological analyzer Sysmex KX-21.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 45.76 years with a range of 17-75 years. Assessing the cause of reactive thrombocytosi revealed that 20(35.7%) was infection and 16(28.5%) was iron deficiency anemia. In clonal thrombocytosis group 21(37.5%) were diagnosed with Chronic myeloid leukemia, 13(23.2%) with Essential thrombocythemia and 14(25%) with Polycythemia rubera vera. Platelet indices were compared in clonal thrombocytosis group and the reactive thrombocytosis group. Mean platelet volume, Platelet large cell ratio and Plateletcrit were significantly higher in the clonal thrombocytosis group (p=0.001). Difference in Platelet distribution width was not found to be statistically significant in the two groups (p=0.07)
Conclusion: Platelet indices were higher in the clonal thrombocytosis group. Along with platelet count, they can serve as an efficient and cost-effective method in differentiating between clonal and reactive thrombocytosis.

Published: October 2023

Introducción: La relación densidad-tamaño máxima (RDTM) describe la dinámica de los rodales con mezcla de especies y es fundamental en la implementación de tratamientos silvícolas para el control de la densidad.
Objetivo: Analizar la influencia de la composición de especies en la RDTM en bosques templados mixtos de Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro, Michoacán, México.Materiales y métodos: Se analizó la RDTM con un modelo potencial y otro exponencial con observaciones de rodales con mezcla de especies y bajo dos enfoques. El primero (E1) describió la trayectoria de la RDTM sin considerar la proporción de especies y el segundo (E2) incluyó la proporción de especies en cuatro grupos: Pinus, Quercus, otras coníferas y latifoliadas. Ambos enfoques se analizaron con regresión de frontera estocástica (RFE) y regresión por cuantiles (RC).Resultados y discusión: Los resultados de E1 fueron favorables con el uso de RC, ya que mostró una trayectoria superior de los datos para definir la RDTM en forma lineal y cóncava. En el E2 se diferenciaron los coeficientes alométricos de la relación densidad-tamaño para los cuatro grupos de especies y RC estimó la RDTM con proporción de especies de manera adecuada. En las especies tolerantes a la sombra (otras coníferas y latifoliadas), la pendiente estimada fue más negativa respecto a las intolerantes (Pinus y Quercus).Conclusiones: Para los bosques mixtos, la RDTM se explica de forma adecuada cuando es dependiente de la composición de las especies, ya que esta influye en el comportamiento de la línea de máxima densidad, útil para la planeación de estrategias de manejo de la densidad en bosques mezclados.

Authors: Shah Syed Javed Hussain , Younes Isma 
Published: October 2023

This research work aims at finding urban resilience capacity of Lahore (study area) against the heat wave. Natural as well as anthropogenic disasters are threatening the urban systems and the urbanites. In the present scenario of fastest urbanization, the concepts of urban resilience and sustainability are sprouting and flourishing for making the cities more resilient and sustainable against disasters. Lahore, being the 2nd largest city of Pakistan with huge population, faces the disasters of various natures including urban flooding, smog and heat wave. The major function of a city is to provide all what is needed for its people and that is only possible when a city will be resilient enough to cope with the disasters and have capability to meet the social, economic and environmental needs of its people. This research focuses on identification of the major disasters being faced by Lahore and evaluation of its sustainability and resilience capacity against these disasters. Landsat images of the years 2002,2012 and 2022 were acquired from the USGS website. These images were processed and analyzed by using ArcGis to find out the relationship among various indices causing heat wave. In this regard, NDVI, NDBI, LULC, LST and UHI were obtained. The extracted information was later rearranged, over-layered and weighted to trace the zonal resilience of Lahore. The deduced findings reveal tremendous impact of decreasing vegetation cover and expansion in built-up area in creation of heat island and hindering the resilient capacity of Lahore. The eastern parts of the city are the most resilient followed by southern areas while central and western parts are least resilient against heat wave. Change detection analysis shows drastic change, the highest resilient areas of 2002 and 2012 are the least resilient in 2022. This research will further lead to new horizons of research pertinent to urban resilience and will be of great significance for developers and policy makers in making the cities resilient against disasters.

Published: October 2023

The risk of developing an occupational pathology due to exposure to noise can cause occupational clinical symptoms with short, medium or long term health effects. The objective of the study is to identify the dysergonomic magnitude of oscillating acoustic comfort, approximately between 80 and 85 decibels, in MSMEs of the metal-mechanic sector and its effects on workers' exposure. The study population consisted of 1300 workers with a sample of 769 workers. The measurement was performed in different workstations with a sound level meter type 1, ISO 28803:2012 standard. Qualitative and quantitative data were obtained to analyze results related to occupational exposure. The sound pressure level was determined in each area of the plant during the different working days. This was done per worker according to their activity and tasks performed. In this way, it was possible to raise discussions about the improvement of the quality of life. The results of the study are satisfactory. Epidemiological surveillance programs (PVE) with an emphasis on audiometry are suggested.
Buddhism in Agrarian Society of Rural Bengal: Perspectives of Belief Systems with a Focus on Ritual and Deities
Authors: Chakrabarty Premangshu , Biswas Rishita 
Published: October 2023

Buddhism was the State Religion of Bengal at least for more than four hundred years between mid of 8th century and 12th century during the Pala reign in Bengal. In the 2011 Indian census, the percentage of Buddhists in West Bengal was 0.31% while in Bangladesh less than 1% of the total population is now a follower of Buddhism. Most of the Buddhists were converted to Islam during the Sultanate rule in Bengal while Hinduism silently took over many of their shrines and deities. This paper is an attempt to revisit the cultural landscape of early Buddhism in Bengal along with a focus on the elements of Buddhist culture in folk life applying cultural geographical methodologies and examining the presence of Buddhist rituals and deities in agrarian society in sublime form. A literature review was followed by extensive fieldwork during festivities of the shrines of Hindu deities having a connection with early Buddhism of Bengal. Along with participant observation during ritualistic practices, interviews, and focus group discussion methods have been applied involving stakeholders to obtain qualitative data for analysis. The results reveal the various manifestations of the interplay between the process of universalization and parochialization in the dynamism of the evolving belief system of an apparently Non-Buddhist folk society of the present day, the root of the culture of which was exclusively Buddhist.

Causal Relationship in History: A Review
Authors: Rahevar Tejalba Takhatsinh 
Published: October 2023

If any event happens, there must be some specific reason behind it. e.g. For example, if milk is heated in a pan, it boils. This may be due to the boiling property of milk. This is true but it does not clarify. Similarly, one can read or write about past events without knowing why they happened. It is true to say that World War II happened because Hitler wanted war. But it does not provide any sufficient explanation. One who speaks in this way should not make the mistake of calling himself a student of history or a historian. The study of history is the study of causes. According to E.H.Carr, “The historian constantly asks the question 'why' and will not stop until he gets the answer. Why is the thinker concerned with new objects or new contexts? asks such a question.''
Abstract in Gujarati Language:
કોઈ પણ ઘટના બને છે તો તેની પાછળ કોઈના કોઈ ચોક્કસ કારણ પણ કારણો જવાબદાર હોય જ છે. ઉ.દા. તરીકે દૂધને તપેલીમાં ગરમ કરવા મૂકીએ તો ઉકળે છે. આમ થવાનું કારણ કદાચ દૂધમાં ઉકળવાનો ગુણધર્મ હોઈ શકે. આ વાત સાચી છે પણ તેનાથી સ્પષ્ટતા મળતી નથી. એવી જ રીતે ભૂતકાળના બનાવો શા માટે બન્યા તે જાણ્યા સિવાય કોઈ પણ વ્યક્તિ તેના વિશે વાંચી કે લખી શકે. હિટલરને યુધ્ધ જોઈતું હતું માટે બીજુ વિશ્વયુધ્ધ થયું તેમ કહેવાથી સંતોષ થાય તે વાત સાચી છે. પણ તેનાથી કાંઈ પુરતો ખુલાસો મળતો નથી. આ રીતે વાત કરનારે પોતાની જાતને ઇતિહાસનો વિદ્યાર્થી અથવા ઈતિહાસકાર તરીકે ઓળખાવવાની ભૂલ કરવી નહિ. ઈતિહાસનો અભ્યાસ કારણોનો અભ્યાસ છે. ઈ.એચ.કાર ના મતે, “ઈતિહાસકાર ‘શા માટે’ એવો પ્રશ્ન સતત પૂછ્યા કરે છે અને જવાબ ન મળે ત્યાંસુધી તેને ચેન પડશે નહિ. ચિંતક નવી વસ્તુઓ અથવા નવા સંદર્ભની બાબતમાં શા માટે ? તેવો પ્રશ્ન પૂછે છે.’”

Published: October 2023

O biodiesel é considerado um combustível alternativo, e para sua produção, utiliza-se excesso de água gerando alto volume de resíduos. O Efluente do Pré-tratamento Enzimático da Produção de Biodiesel (WEPBP) obtidos na produção de biodiesel podem apresentar compostos persistentes com potencial tóxico e genotóxico. Esse estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a genotoxicidade desse efluente com o uso do teste Allium cepa. Bulbos da cebola foram expostos no período de 24 horas a três concentrações diferentes do efluente WEPBP: 0,1mL/L; 0,01mL/L e 0,001mL/L além do controle positivo com Nitrato de Chumbo (Pb(NO₃)₂) e o controle negativo com água destilada. Os resultados obtidos mostram que o efluente possui potencial clastogênico e genotóxico em células de Allium cepa e ainda que os grupos com as diluições se equiparam ao grupo testado com o controle positivo.

Os resíduos sólidos da bovinocultura representam um problema em aglomerados urbanos quando não são destinados ou dispostos de maneira ambientalmente adequada e podem acarretar diversos problemas (ambientais, sociais e econômicos), como a diminuição quanto a potabilidade da água e dos mananciais; criadouro para vetores de doenças, como roedores e insetos, que afetam diretamente a saúde dos indivíduos que estão em contato com esses resíduos; custos econômicos e sociais com a manutenção de áreas para servir de “lixão” que na realidade se tornam passivos ambientais. Com intuito de demonstrar a atual gestão dos resíduos da bovinocultura gerados por açougues no município de Paragominas, este trabalho analisou as demandas comerciais de um universo amostral equivalente a 10% dos estabelecimentos legais em funcionamento na região, e prospectou a taxa residual gerada por “banda” bovina comercializada, resultando em uma perda residual de 13,77%, e uma taxa de proporcionalidade com provado polo método de Pearson, equivalente a 99,6% para dianteiro bovino e 99,74% para traseiro bovino, através da análise literária do rendimento cárneo por açougues e por meio de formulários de pesquisas foi possível concluir que o município de Paragominas está propenso a poluição ambiental, caso não siga as diretrizes estabelecidas pelo Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Urbano do município e a perda econômica do reaproveitamento dos resíduos da bovinocultura.
