Published: December 2022

The prognosis of coronary revascularization in patients has been significantly altered by the Interventional cardiology. With the advancement of the novel drugs and stent technology the new complications i.e., in-stent restenosis, have emerged. Objective: To analyze the predictors of outcome in the treatment of in-stent restenosis with drug-eluting balloons. Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted at Pir Abdul Qadir Shah Jeelani Institute of Medical Sciences Gambat for the duration of one year from August 2021 to July 2022. The patients older than 18 years were eligible for the trial. The patients who have undergone coronary intervention with a drug-eluting balloon during the duration of the study were also eligible. This study received approval from the institution's research ethics board. The patient demographic features, procedure complications and operative results were recorded. Results: The mean age of patients was 65 years. There were 62 male participants. There were 54 patients that had history of diabetes mellitus, 87 had hypertension, 32 reported about smoking habits. There were 91 patients that reported about history of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 72 about myocardial infraction (MI) and 30 reported about coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Kidney related inflammation or infection was found in case of 19 patients. Conclusions: This single center study showed significantly low rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR) for a period of one year and moderate rate was found at five years.

Published: December 2022

Hirschsprung’s disease can be defined in terms of the aganglionic part of the colon and the definitive treatment is a one-stage trans-anal endorectal pull-through surgery. Objectives: To find out the efficacy and safety of this one-stage pull-through. Mostly the surgery is done in early childhood or the neonatal period, as the case is less frequently reported in older children and adolescents. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted including 16 males and 4 females. 20 cases including children of 6 months to 14 years, all were diagnosed with Hirschsprung’s disease in the study duration of two years. The diagnostic criteria of these patients included; Clinical history of delayed passage of meconium, contrast enema, and rectal biopsy. Definitive variables were; Age, sex, and length of the aganglionic part of the colon. Results: All the patients included in the study had distended abdomens and persistent constipation. All of them have an aganglionic colon, a diagnosing feature of Hirschsprung’s disease. All patients underwent the trans-anal endorectal one-stage pull-through. The average operative time recorded was 150 minutes. Post-operative complications were also recorded including anastomosis leakage (only in one case; for that a diversion colostomy was done), anastomotic stenosis or stricture (not reported in any case), enterocolitis and perineum irritation (In four cases), Transient fecal incontinence is a major complication (11 cases had transient fecal incontinence which resolved spontaneously with 1 to 2 weeks). No death had been recorded. Conclusion: For the treatment of Hirschsprung’s disease, primary trans-anal endorectal pull-through is a safe and efficient technique.
“Women in an Alien Land”- Nuances of Diasporic Identity and Survival in Bharati Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters
Authors: Parween Shenaz 
Published: December 2022

Bharati Mukherjee, an Indian Born, Canadian/ American novelist has made a deep impression on the literary canvass. The prime premise of her works is the issues encountered by women in the foreign atmosphere. As a diasporic author most of her characters are ‘displaced’ and ‘alienated’ from the land of origin to USA where they are ‘simultaneously invisible’ as an individual and ‘overexposed’ as a racial minority. Focusing on Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters, first of the trilogy including The Tree Bride and Miss New India, the present paper attempts to analyze the complexities of diasporic identity and the process of re-birth and re-invention of Indian women immigrants to adapt in the new world. A story of three sisters- Padma, Parvati and Tara, the novel showcases the problems of identity of Indian immigrant women in an alien society as they suffer from ‘no greater visibility but great marginality’. The problem with these sisters is not only that are immigrants but what makes their condition worse is their gender as well. Being with the label of ‘second sex’, these women are often confronted by a double quest- quest for identity as a woman first and second as a displaced human being in an alien world. The diasporic situation in fact entangles the sisters into a maze- standing between two worlds-with complex realities of unequal cultural dynamics of the traditional homeland and liberal spaces of host land- they tend to experience conflicting subjectivities of freedom and subjugation, yet they do find a way for self-exploration and deliberation to conceive new identities and move beyond the fixed definitions of diasporic Indian women. So, my paper will be a modest attempt to unravel the nuances of diasporic identity which is always a matter of ‘becoming’ as well as of ‘being’ and to highlight the extremely individualistic ways of survival of the three immigrant sisters in an apparently alien culture.

Published: December 2022

This study developed a Simultaneous Spatial model for panel data using Simultaneous Spatial Durbin Model for panel data with two way error component by using Generalized Spatial Two Stage Least Square (SSDPDTWEC GS2SLS). Based on the results of the simulation data, it can be concluded that the SSDPDTWEC GS2SLS model is better than Simultaneous Spatial Durbin for panel data with one way error component using Spatial Two Stage Least Square (SSDPDONWEC S2SLS), SSDPDONWEC GS2SLS, and SSDPDTWEC S2SLS, because it has a smaller mean of square error (MSE) and has a larger coefficient of determination (R Square) value.
Based on the results of the SSDPDTWEC GS2SLS Model to endogenous economics growth data in Indonesia from 2015-2020, it can be concluded that Gross Regional Domestics Product (GRDP) is significantly affected by Human Development Index (HDI), Poverty (POOR), spatial dependencies of the HDI (WHDI), spatial dependencies of poverty (WPOOR) and spatial dependencies of GRDP (WGRDP), while Information and Communication Technology Development Index (ICTDI) and spatial dependencies of ICTDI (WICTDI) have no significant effect on GRDP. For ICTDI is significantly affected by HDI, WHDI and WICTDI, while GRDP, Direct Expenditure (DE), WGRDP and spatial dependencies of direct expenditure (WDE) have no significant effect on ICTDI. HDI variable is significantly affected by ICTDI, WICTDI, and WHDI while GRDP and WGRDP have no significant effect on HDI. There is no spatial simultaneity relationship between GRDP and HDI as well as GRDP and ICTDI, while between ICTDI and HDI there is a spatial simultaneous relationship.

Leasing dalam Perspektif Fatwa Dewan Pengawas Syariah Majelis Ulama Indonesia
Authors: Husen Fathurrohman 
Published: December 2022

Perusahaan leasing popular di Indonesia sebagai perusahaan sewa guna usaha. Kegiatan usahanya bergerak di bidang pembiayaan untuk keperluan barang-barang modal yang diinginkan oleh lease. Perusahaan leasing akan memberikan fasilitas persewaan barang atau pembelian barang leasing secara kredit kepada lease sesuai dengan perjanjian yang diseapkati. Konsep Islam mengenal istilah akad ijarah dalam kajian muamalat, yaitu jenis akad untuk mengambil manfaat dengan kompensasi. Pokok persoalannya, bagaimana kesesuaian leasing dalam perspektif hukum Islam. Penulis mengkaji persoalan tersebut dengan metode library reaserch dengan pendekatan yuridis (fatwa DSN-MUI). Analisa yang digunakan adalah diskriptif-analitik.
Kesimpulanya, Menurut jenisnya, leasing yang tergolong dalam operating lease tidak ada pertentangan dengan prinsip ijarah. Namun dalam finance lease terdapat unsur gharar yang terjadi. Yaitu, ketidak jelasan akad (hak opsi) di akhir pembayaran rente, yang termasuk ke dalam gharar dan dilarang oleh syariat Islam. Bagi yang beranggapan finance lease itu haram karena tergolong shafqatain fi al shafqah, maka Solusi untuk menghilangkan gharar dalam finance lease dilakukan dengan akad IMBT (Ijarah Muntahiya Bi Tamlik). Yaitu, hak opsinya diganti dengan wa’d diawal kontrak. Wa’d tersebut adalah janji lessor kepada lesse untuk menghibbahkan atau menjualnya, dengan catatan harga sewa atau harga jualnya sudah disepakati di awal kontrak.

Published: December 2022

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar o crescimento inicial em diferentes condições de sombreamento das espécies Copernicia alba, Copernicia hospita e Copernicia macroglossa. Inicialmente, as sementes foram embebidas em água para uma pré-germinação, em seguida foram semeadas em tubetes (288 ml) preenchidos com substrato (arisco + composto orgânico + vermiculita) na proporção de 2:1:1 e mantidas a pleno sol, 30%, 50% e 70% de sombreamento. Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 5 repetições (4 plantas/repetição) e cinco períodos de avaliação 45, 90, 135, 180 e 225 dias após a semeadura, com fatores dispostos em arranjo de parcelas subdivididas no tempo (4 níveis de sombreamento x 5 épocas de avaliação). A cada época de avaliação, foram mensuradas as seguintes variáveis respostas: número de folhas, altura, diâmetro do coleto, área foliar, massa seca das partes aéreas e das raízes e índice de qualidade de Dickson. As mudas de Copernicia cultivadas em pleno sol e 30% de sombreamento expressam efeitos positivos no crescimento inicial com boa qualidade. Os melhores resultados de área foliar das espécies foram encontrados no ambiente com 30% de sombreamento. Diante desses resultados, os dados obtidos são importantes e indispensáveis ao estabelecimento de produção de mudas de qualidade de Copernicia.
On the Design and Use of Contra-Rotating Propellers in High-Speed Craft
Authors: Honkanen Max 
Published: December 2022

This paper describes first a design method for contra-rotating propellers using the momentum theory to determine the mutually induced velocities. Approximate formulae for these velocities have been worked out allowing both the design and the performance analysis of contra-rotating propellers. This is achieved by separating the treatment of a set of propellers into two independent ones with corrections on the intake velocities and on the speed of rotation of the aft propeller.
A practical application of a contra-rotating propeller in a highspeed power boat is then discussed. It turned out that this propulsion device is economically beneficial if used together with a stern-drive unit. Smaller propeller, diameter, better cavitation characteristics, smaller vibration level and absence of a heeling moment also contribute to the benefits of a contrarotating propeller as a propulsion system for high-speed craft.

Published: December 2022

The agriculture industry plays a significant part in the Indian economy, accounting for around 20% of the Gross Domestic product (GDP). Around 62 percent of India’s population is reliant on it for survival Gupta & Nagar [1]. Agriculture is a crucial sector of the Indian economy as it contributes about 20.19 percent of GDP (DAC&FW Annual Report, 2020-21). Agronomical practices include all the practices which are followed by the farmer from seed to seed i.e. from seed sowing to seed harvesting and storing. The study was conducted in Kharar block, district SAS Nagar (Punjab). Three villages were selected randomly. A questionnaire was prepared to interview the farmers. After the collection of the data from respondents data were classified and analyzed with the help of suitable statistical measures. As per the data collected overall 100%, of farmers grow wheat and about 98% of respondents grow paddy crop in their fields. Apart from these two crops around 52% of farmers grow cauliflower crop in their fields overall 46% of farmers cultivate the mustard crop. The overall amount of fertilizers used by the respondents are more than the recommended dose. Phalaris minor is the major weed, apart from this about 92% of farmers face the problem of Grasshopper insects in the paddy crop. The average yield of wheat, paddy, and cauliflower is 52, and 75,243 QTLs/ acre respectively.
