Authors: Khan Ayub 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the impact of socioeconomic factors on life expectancy in Pakistan
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library
Findings: Socioeconomic factors have a significant impact on life expectancy in Pakistan. Higher education, greater access to healthcare, and higher income levels are associated with longer life expectancies. Gender disparities exist, with women generally having longer life expectancies than men due to differences in healthcare access and lifestyles. Urban areas tend to have higher life expectancies compared to rural areas due to better healthcare facilities and resources. These findings highlight the need for targeted policies and interventions to address disparities and improve overall population health in Pakistan.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The socioeconomic development theory, the well-being theory & the social ecology theory may be used to anchor future studies on the examining impact of socioeconomic factors on life expectancy in Pakistan. Invest in the expansion and improvement of primary healthcare services, especially in rural and underserved areas. Develop policies that specifically aim to reduce health inequalities, such as initiatives to improve healthcare access in remote areas and interventions to address disparities in nutrition and sanitation.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of trade agreements on developing countries.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to trade agreements’ effects on developing countries. Preliminary empirical review revealed that trade agreements have the potential to significantly contribute to economic development in developing countries. Positive outcomes include increased exports, GDP growth, and the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI). However, it is crucial to acknowledge that the impact of trade agreements is not uniform across all countries, and several factors influence the degree to which these agreements benefit developing nations. These factors include the quality of institutional arrangements within the agreements, the specific industries targeted for development, and the ability to manage potential negative consequences such as income inequality and environmental degradation.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Dependency theory, Export-Led Growth theory and the Institutional Economics theory may be used to anchor future studies on trade policy and economic development. This study suggested for comprehensive impact assessment, strengthening of institutional capacity, diversification of export-oriented industries, inclusive development policies, environmental safeguards, continuous monitoring and evaluation and international cooperation. Trade policy, particularly trade agreements, holds significant potential for driving economic development in developing countries. However, realizing these benefits requires careful consideration of the unique contexts and challenges faced by each country. By adopting evidence-based policies, strengthening institutions, and prioritizing inclusive and sustainable development, developing countries can harness the opportunities presented by trade agreements to promote economic growth and improve the well-being of their populations.

Education is the embodiment of a nation, a nation that has a strong character is able to make itself a dignified nation. So that the application of character education in the history of education is very good if implemented properly. Character education is also a planned and conscious effort in order to pass on the character one already has while at the same time building even better character, to improve the quality of individuals in society. At present the values of educational character for students are fading. Judging from the fact that today there are many students who have violated the norms of life and many of them are violating the law as is often the case at this time, there are many cases such as brawls, bullying, persecution and sexual violence committed by students at this time. , students who do not respect teachers and parents, students who have a lot of westernized culture, we rarely find nowadays who are proud and use local products. From these problems through history learning can build the character of students. The purpose of this research is to build students' character through past stories of historical figures in the history lesson of the independence curriculum. This study uses a qualitative method that uses technical analysis of literature. The result of this study is to explain the solution to the problem of forming character education through reading and implementing stories of historical figures in the independence curriculum. Learning the formation of the nation's character through stories of the past and a new twist in histiography in Indonesia is the main reason for the need for character education in education; teaching history for the formation of the character of students. Teachers are required to implement it.

Method: We conducted a mixed-method cross sectional study, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches on adults who received the second dose of vaccine at Hanoi Medical University from August 2021 to June 2022.With the quantitative part collected by online questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics by the Stata 15.0 software. For the qualitative part, we used the content analysis strategy of in-depth interviews. Results: 696 people participated in the study and the majority of those experienced post-vaccination symptoms (88.5%), followed by tiredness, fever and the increased pain at the injection site. Most respondents felt satisfied with the vaccination process (98.4%). The in-depth interviews showed 5 feelings during the injection, including anxiety, suspense, fear, non-anxiety, and satisfaction. Negative experiences were mainly related to post-injection side effects and most common at the first dose of vaccine. Common related factors included: individual factors; family and friends; vaccines; injection environment; reference sources and other social factors. The vaccine factor was reported to have the most impact on vaccination experience. Recommendations: Enhance professionalism according to the vaccination organization process as well as improve the efficiency of pre-, during and post-injection consultations of medical vaccination facilities in the locality. At the same time, regularly update and ensure the quality of information sources, especially vaccination information on the electronic system for easy access by injectors and agencies and organizations.
GUARDA COMPARTILHADA EM RAZÃO DO DIVÓRCIO LITIGIOSO, UMA ANÁLISE AO PRINCÍPIO DO MELHOR INTERESSE DO MENOR
Authors: Mota Luis Phillype Andrade da , Deus Rosane Oliveira de 
Published: December 2023

A respectiva pesquisa trata da funcionalidade da guarda compartilhada no direito pátrio atual dentro do cenário de um divórcio litigioso. Junta-se a isso, uma análise do princípio protetor da criança e do adolescente que é denominado, princípio do melhor interesse do menor. Neste contexto discutiremos um tema polêmico que se destaca em meio ao direito de família uma vez que o embate de interesses dos genitores dentro de um divórcio litigioso, acarreta diretamente para o menor inúmeras mudanças. Para delinear a problemática do estudo em questão, indaga-se: Qual a postura da jurisprudência em relação aos casos de guarda compartilhada levando em conta a aplicação do princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente no cenário de uma dissolução conjugal? O objetivo geral deste trabalho tem como foco conhecer o funcionamento do instituto jurídico voltado à proteção da criança e do adolescente dentro da realidade do divórcio litigioso à luz do princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente. A pesquisa a seguir tem como objetivo específico a busca pelo estudo do princípio protetor que rege a vida do menor envolvido nas relações conjugais dos seus genitores, em especial o do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente, soma-se a isso como fator relevante a criação da lei n°13.058/2014 que prevê a aplicação da guarda compartilhada como prioridade sempre que ambos os genitores estejam aptos a exercer o poder familiar. Essa modalidade de guarda triplicou entre os anos de 2014 e 2017 de acordo com estatísticas do registro civil do IBGE. A metodologia adotada na pesquisa no tocante aos objetivos é de cunho teórico. Concernente a forma, se presumi descritiva e, em relação ao objeto de estudo e de pesquisa foi bibliográfica. Respalda-se como justificativa do trabalho a relevância jurídica, haja vista que o estudo abordado mostra que a não decisão pela guarda compartilhada se torna um meio de violar a proteção dos menores dentro do quadro real de um divórcio litigioso, demonstrando ainda todo o raciocínio dos princípios norteadores do ordenamento jurídico voltado ao tema em pauta, visto que é no seio familiar que se cria a base para enfrentar as eventuais adversidades da vida. Assim, ao considerar o caráter fundamental da base familiar ao indivíduo, é essencial que todos os integrantes familiares convivam com o menor, objetivando manter os respectivos laços afetivos. Sendo priorizado sempre a proteção dos filhos menores, é indiscutível que o instituto da guarda compartilhada objetiva mitigar o equilíbrio entre seus genitores na educação de seus filhos, para que em meio as turbulências de um divórcio litigioso, haja o equilíbrio necessário entre as partes e o desenvolvimento do menor não seja prejudicado.

Published: December 2023

A busca incessante por soluções eficazes para o problema global da obesidade tem levado muitos indivíduos a experimentar diversas abordagens, desde dietas extremamente restritivas até o uso de suplementos e medicamentos que prometem resultados rápidos e significativos. O objetivo geral desse estudo é investigar e compreender o uso não autorizado da levotiroxina sódica, um medicamento indicado para distúrbios da tireoide, no tratamento da obesidade. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter levantamento bibliográfico, com abordagem qualitativa e buscando artigos acadêmicos, baseado em fonte de dados documentais obtidos através das Diretrizes para estruturação das farmácias de acordo com o Conselho Federal de Farmácia do Brasil e através do Google Acadêmico, cujo instrumento para coleta de dados foi revisão bibliográfica. A levotiroxina sódica, também conhecida simplesmente como levotiroxina, é uma medicação sintética que age como um substituto do hormônio tireoidiano chamado tiroxina (T4). A tireoide é uma glândula localizada no pescoço que produz hormônios que desempenham um papel fundamental na regulação do metabolismo e no funcionamento do corpo. Como pode-se notar neste estudo o uso da levotiroxina sódica para emagrecimento é uma prática inadequada e potencialmente perigosa. Este medicamento é destinado ao tratamento de distúrbios da tireoide, como o hipotireoidismo, e não deve ser utilizado com o objetivo de perda de peso.

A política de saúde pública tem um impacto profundo no estado de saúde. Falta na literatura uma articulação clara da definição de políticas e abordagens baseadas em evidências para fazer avançar o campo. As evidências relevantes para as políticas incluem informações quantitativas (por exemplo, epidemiológicas) e qualitativas (por exemplo, relatos narrativos). Descrevemos três domínios principais de políticas baseadas em evidências: (1) processo , para compreender abordagens para aumentar a probabilidade de adoção de políticas; (2) conteúdo , para identificar elementos políticos específicos que provavelmente serão eficazes; e (3) resultados , para documentar o impacto potencial da política.

Abstract. The cosmogenic radionuclides 7Be and 10Be are useful tracers for atmospheric transport studies. Combining 7Be and 10Be measurements with an atmospheric transport model can not only improve our understanding of the radionuclide transport and deposition processes but also provide an evaluation of the transport process in the model. To simulate these aerosol tracers, it is critical to evaluate the influence of radionuclide production uncertainties on simulations. Here we use the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model driven by the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis to simulate 7Be and 10Be with the state-of-the-art production rate from the CRAC:Be (Cosmic Ray Atmospheric Cascade: Beryllium) model considering realistic spatial geomagnetic cutoff rigidities (denoted as P16spa). We also perform two sensitivity simulations: one with the default production rate in GEOS-Chem based on an empirical approach (denoted as LP67) and the other with the production rate from the CRAC:Be but considering only geomagnetic cutoff rigidities for a geocentric axial dipole (denoted as P16). The model results are comprehensively evaluated with a large number of measurements including surface air concentrations and deposition fluxes. The simulation with the P16spa production can reproduce the absolute values and temporal variability of 7Be and 10Be surface concentrations and deposition fluxes on annual and sub-annual scales, as well as the vertical profiles of air concentrations. The simulation with the LP67 production tends to overestimate the absolute values of 7Be and 10Be concentrations. The P16 simulation suggests less than 10 % differences compared to P16spa but a significant positive bias (∼18 %) in the 7Be deposition fluxes over East Asia. We find that the deposition fluxes are more sensitive to the production in the troposphere and downward transport from the stratosphere. Independent of the production models, surface air concentrations and deposition fluxes from all simulations show similar seasonal variations, suggesting a dominant meteorological influence. The model can also reasonably simulate the stratosphere–troposphere exchange process of 7Be and 10Be by producing stratospheric contribution and 10Be/7Be ratio values that agree with measurements. Finally, we illustrate the importance of including the time-varying solar modulations in the production calculation, which significantly improve the agreement between model results and measurements, especially at mid-latitudes and high latitudes. Reduced uncertainties in the production rates, as demonstrated in this study, improve the utility of 7Be and 10Be as aerosol tracers for evaluating and testing transport and scavenging processes in global models. For future GEOS-Chem simulations of 7Be and 10Be, we recommend using the P16spa (versus default LP67) production rate.
