Treatment of severe anxiety and social phobia by hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming- A Case Report
Authors: Malik Samina , Mirza Maheen , Ahmad Fayyaz , Malik Arif 
Published: February 2022

Background: Hypnosis is being used in combination with different forms of psychotherapy nowadays, such as neuro-linguistic programming, to work as a complementary treatment. This pairing allows for more targeted and patient-specific approaches to treat psychological disorders, phobias, and pain. An example is our previous study, in which hypnosis was used to treat tobacco-pan addiction. Following a similar model in this case study, we investigate the effectiveness of hypnosis and neuro-linguistic programming as treatments for anxiety and phobias.
Case Presentation: We discuss a case of a 20-year-old boy with severe anxiety and social phobia who was already taking antipsychotic drugs and antidepressants, but they did not aid in treating his condition. He was then treated with hypnotherapy and neuro-linguistic programming to address the rooted triggers for his phobia. A thorough three-hour session revealed the details of each traumatic event. Each incident was isolated and changed in the patient's subconscious mind while he was hypnotized to remove that incident's role as a trigger.
Management & Results: The patient reported approximately seventy percent recovery immediately after the first session in terms of rebuilding his confidence. The recovery was measured on DASS-21 and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The severity of his phobia was significantly controlled in a short-span of time, with almost no episode after the first hypnosis and NLP session.
Conclusion: Hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming is an effective treatment for anxiety disorder and social phobia. It is also time-efficient and produces better results than other forms of treatment without accompanying side effects.
Can attachment styles predict psychological and emotional well-being?
Authors: Masood Shahana , Ali Saima Masoom 
Published: February 2022

Background: Attachment is an intangible form of sharing love, concerns, and emotion between two individuals or sometimes in terms of society. Attachment styles with an individual's parents, peers, or loved ones greatly affect an individual's different domains of life. Many studies have been conducted to identify the relationship of attachment styles and personality traits, physical and mental health. However, a few kinds of research have focused on the relationship of attachment styles with well-being. Therefore, the main objective of the research was to assess whether attachment style can predict psychological and emotional well-being.
Methodology: The study required a sample of 300 students from different public and private universities in Karachi. Measures used in the study are The Relationships Questionnaire (RQ) and Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). The Relationships Questionnaire (RQ) was used to assess the attachment style, and the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) was used in the study to assess psychological and emotional wellbeing, items related to a specific variable used in the study were included in the assessment. Data were analyzed through regression analysis which is an inferential statistical test using SPSS version 24.
Results: Results were not as per the assumption of the study hypotheses; there was no significant effect of attachment styles on psychological and emotional wellbeing.
Conclusion: Hence, results indicated that attachment style alone could not be considered a good predictor of psychological and emotional well-being. It only has a minor effect, but for the prediction of psychological and emotional wellbeing, other mediating variables and personality factors should also be assessed or considered.

Authors: Sadia Akbar  , Safian Ahmed  , Masood Ahmed Memon  , Khalida Avesi  , Muhammad Muneeb  , Khalil Ahmed Kazi  
Published: February 2022

Background: Hypothyroidism is a disease characterized by the thyroid gland's compromised ability to produce the thyroid hormone. The condition is often accompanied by Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). Together the two have a significant impact on the quality of life (QoL). To gauge the effect of correcting iron deficiency anemia among women with clinical hypothyroidism, improving the quality of life.
Methodology: A total of 140 women pre-diagnosed with hypothyroidism and IDA were included in this experimental study and were presented to the medical outpatient department at Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad. All-female participants were recruited via non-probability – consecutive sampling and were included after taking written informed consent and administered corrective treatment (Iron salts). Data was recorded onto a pre-structured questionnaire containing inquiries about basic biodata, sociodemographic details, disease history, present clinical condition, laboratory findings and QoL using Thyroid-Dependent Quality of Life Questionnaire (ThyDQoL), and was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.
Results: The mean age of participants included in the study was 29 ± 03 years (range 21 to 43). The mean serum ferritin level was 33 ± 03 ng/mL, while the total mean Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) was 514 mcg/dL. In 92.1% of the patients, the normalized post-4-week treatment of the Underactive ThyDQoL score suggests improvement from a negative 7 to a negative 3 (cumulative mean value) of the sample.
Conclusion: The study results concluded that correcting anemia helps improve the QoL among patients with hypothyroidism. Since the remedy to anemia is achieved earlier than hypothyroidism management in most cases, it is recommended that the efforts are directed to screen and correct anemia (iron deficiency) among such patients.
Does Gender Inequality Affect Economic Growth? Empirics from Asian Countries.
Authors: Farah Atiq  , Faisal Sultan Qadri  
Published: February 2022

Background: Gender inequality is present in our society in different areas of life. Moreover, world organizations acknowledge the importance of gender inequality control and list it as one of the Sustainable Development Goals. Though the standing of gender inequality cannot be denied as a social issue, it is vital to analyze its impact on other areas as well. This study specifically analyzes the impact of gender inequality in education on economic growth and how gender inequality can affect economies' short-run and long-run potential.Methodology: This study examines the extent and dimensions to which gender inequality affects the economic growth of Asian countries. The study employs an annual dataset from 2003-2018 comprised of 48 Asian countries. World Bank data set is used. Panel data analysis is the basis of the study. The empirical analysis begins with a fixed / random effect. Moreover, sensitivity analysis was also used to check the robustness of initial results.Results: This study shows that gender inequality at the tertiary level of education affects the economic growth in the selected Asian countries. Since gender inequality at the tertiary level of education is directly associated with the quality of gender mix in the labour market, its impact is reflected in this empirical work. However, gender parity in education at the primary level was found not to be significant in its contribution to GDP growth. Though the impact of gender inequality at the primary level is not found to be statistically significant, reasonably, this inequality will result in a lower potential in the long run. In all the models having population growth, the impact of gender parity was found to be positive.Conclusion: This study concluded that reducing gender inequality on the tertiary level of education positively affects economic growth. Moreover, the study emphasizes that there is a necessity to increase women's education and lowering gender inequality at different levels of educational attainment to boost long-run and short-run economic potential.

Published: February 2022

Background: Pregnancy is a physiological process and should ideally yield no morbidity and mortality; however, in some instances, pregnancy becomes a high-risk. A high-risk pregnancy carries significant danger to the fetus and mother before, during and after delivery. The objective of the study was to determine the perinatal outcome among women with high-risk pregnancies.
Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted from June to December 2015, including 287 women with high-risk pregnancies scheduled to undergo delivery at Liaquat University Hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Data pertaining to sociodemographic details, gestational, obstetric history, Apgar score and the perinatal outcome was recorded using a pre-structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0..
Results: The mean age of the enrolled participants was 29.12 ± 5.46 years. The perinatal outcomes included stillbirths (8%), early neonatal deaths (4.2%), low birth weight (22.6%) and poor Apgar score i.e., < 7 at 1 minute (10.5%) and 5 minutes (3.8%). Stratification revealed a significant risk of poor perinatal outcome (low birth weight) among women aged above 30 years (p-value = 0.002).
Conclusion: It is concluded from the study results that high-risk pregnancies yield poor perinatal outcomes, including stillbirths, low birth weight, early neonatal death and poor Apgar scores.

Authors: Muhammad Imran  , Rehana Yasmeen  
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Despite government efforts, the contraceptive prevalence rate is low in Pakistan. UMNFP still exists in Pakistan like other low-middle income countries. Our study aims to determine the prevalence and factors affecting the unmet need for family planning in Pakistan.
Methods: The analysis was performed using PDHS 2017-18 data set. In our study, 11847 women of reproductive age were included out of 14498.
Result: In binary logistic regression, age, wealth index, and the number of living children found statistically significant. UMNFP was lower in women of older age (45-49) in contrast to younger women of age between 15-19 years. Regarding the women's socioeconomic status, those who belong to the middle socioeconomic class had a lower UNMFP in contrast to the poorest. UMNFP was 1.7 times more in women having more than three children in contrast to women who had less than or equal to three children. However, women's age, women socioeconomic status, and working status of women were found to be statistically significant with an unmet need for spacing in the multinomial model. In addition, the age of women, region, number of living children, socioeconomic status, and knowledge of family planning was found to be statistically significant with an unmet need for limiting.
Conclusion: In the light of our study, overall unmet need is lower in older age and richer wealth quintile while UNMFP is high in women who had more than three children. Policymakers should design interventions to target high-risk populations to overcome the issue of rapid population growth.
THE VALUE OF VISCOSITY COEFFICIENT OF COOKING OIL RESULTED BY PURIFICATION BASED ON ACTIVE CHARCOAL TEMPERATURE WITH THE FALLING BALL METHOD
Authors: Rachmawati Dewi Oktofa , Suswandi Iwan 
Published: February 2022

A change in viscosity indicates the damage to cooking oil. The value of the viscosity coefficient indicates the level of viscosity. This value describes the drag caused by friction between the cooking oil molecules to block the flow. The adhesive property of used cooking oil with a high viscosity value is that it is easy to stick to foodstuffs processed with this oil. Used cooking oil is cooking oil with a high viscosity coefficient value. This oil contains free fatty acids that are harmful to the body. Reuse of used cooking oil for frying foodstuffs is not recommended. Purifying used cooking oil is one way to make cooking oil safe to consume again. The surface adsorption capacity of activated charcoal is increased by heating. Activated charcoal activation temperatures are 27oC, 40oC, 50oC, 70oC, and 90oC.The value of the viscosity coefficient of the purified cooking oil is interesting to study for the activation temperature of the activated charcoal used. The falling ball method was chosen to determine the value of the viscosity coefficient. This method measured the time the ball fell in the oil. Data were analyzed quantitatively descriptively and presented in graphical form. The results show that the value of the viscosity coefficient of the purified cooking oil decreases with the increase in the activated charcoal temperature. The value of the viscosity coefficient of cooking oil as a result of purification using activated charcoal at 90oC is (0.854 ±0.004) Pa. s

Authors: Manuputty Richard 
Published: February 2022

Stereotypically, the teaching of writing is separated from reading subjects. As the results, many students are found to be passive and not critical in writing. This action research looks into the effectiveness of enhancing students’ critical reading in writing argumentative essays. It is investigating whether the genre-based cognitive reading and approach applied brings significant impacts in students’ writing ability? The results of the study indicated some moderate changes in writing argumentative skills which were analyzed and assessed through content analysis over two complete writing products submitted after two complete learning cycles. Some students of (N=18) are at developing learning stage of becoming critical in writing but not yet fluently in making strong arguments for their opinions. Some have already shown capability to organize their thoughts better in thesis writing but not successfully developed them with facts from their own factual experiences in supporting and defending their stands and arguments in development writing stage. The instructional learning system is found to be effective though obviously much time is needed for comprehending texts, and more writing practice is required before students can eventually perform better argumentative essays
