Nursing Faculty Development in Pakistan; Teaching and Learning Competencies
Authors: Muhammad Dildar 
Published: September 2022

Human health resource is the core component of any health system. Pakistan’s health system faces a critical shortage of qualified healthcare professionals such as physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and allied healthcare workers1. Pakistan has one of the fastest growing populations and is ranked as the fifth largest population in the globe2. The health system of Pakistan is confronted with the challenge to cater to the unmet healthcare needs of this rapidly growing human population. The health system of Pakistan is facing multiple challenges and among these, one of the key challenges is the production of quality human resource for health. Pakistan has recently focused much on uplifting the standards of medical schools; to produce competent physicians, however, uplifting and streamlining nursing education still remains a big challenge. Currently, there are approximately 90,000 nurses registered with Pakistan nursing council3. In 2018, the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination made a thorough assessment of the existing human health resource and as per the report published Pakistan needs 0.8 million nurses by the year 20304. There is also an imbalance in the current workforce with more physicians onboard as compared to nurses in the system. Pakistan is thus confronted to upscale the production of nurses to meet Universal Health Coverage goal by year 2030 as well as to maintain the minimum standards of nursing workforce development. To uplift the standards of nursing education, Pakistan has embarked on graduate nursing education as entry into practice qualification from the year 2018 and onwards. This has shifted nursing education pre-dominantly from associate diploma regulated by nursing examination boards to baccalaureate degree program run by the universities. Maintaining standards in the production of quality nursing workforce is a big challenge for Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Coordination and Pakistan Nursing Council. Pakistan has though shifted onto a baccalaureate degree program in nursing its faculty is not fully prepared in modern day educational pedagogies, assessment methods, curriculum development and evaluation, educational psychology and educational leadership and management5. There is an acute need to train nursing faculty in basic teaching competencies for effectively teaching at BS nursing level. Such trainings shall be mandatory for everyone who aspires to teach in nursing colleges. The Pakistan nursing council shall make such trainings mandatory for all nursing faculty who is involved in teaching to nursing students.

OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of the study was to assess factors resisting control of hypertension in adults.
METHODOLOGY:
A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from 1st of December 2020 till 31st of March 2021 at Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC) Peshawar Pakistan. The study selected 377 participants by non-probability convenient sampling technique to find out barrier to optimal blood pressure control among adult patients visiting to HMC. Data was collected through an adopted questionnaire based on a study conducted in Rwanda district hospitals. Analysis was carried through SPPS version 22.0.

Authors: Tabassum Afshan , Khan Sheraz Ahmad , Abid Saima 
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVES:
Feedback is an interactive process, where information is provided to someone for improving performance. In academic environment, feedback facilitates learning through regulating weaknesses of students. Current study is to report the practice of written feedback in nursing institutions in Peshawar.
METHODOLOGY:
This study was informed by relativist ontology, interpretivist epistemology and case study methodology. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, followed by thematic analysis.
RESULTS:
Our study found that, there is lack of written feedback system in nursing institutions in Peshawar. In case feedback is provided, it is ineffective and not based on actual performance of students in assignments; which is perceived by students as discriminatory and based on favoritism. Students reported that feedback is inadequate, inappropriate and delayed. It leads to general dissatisfaction among nursing students.
CONCLUSION:
Current practice of written feedback to degree level nursing students in Peshawar is deficient, counterproductive and does not improve students’ learning outcomes.

The purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of nursing students regarding learning-enhancing factors of teachers’ attitudes and behavior.
METHODOLOGY
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenient sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire from 125 nursing students at two public sector nursing colleges in Peshawar, Pakistan. Ethics approval was obtained from Institutional Review Board. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.

Strengthening monetary policy and managing inflation expectations in Ukraine in conditions of maritime
Authors: Okhrymenko Iryna , Biloshapka Viktoria 
Published: September 2022

The article considers the current problem of strengthening monetary policy in Ukraine. Competent monetary measures of the NBU in the first months of the war ensured the smooth functioning of the banking system and payments in the economy. Fixing the exchange rate was ensured by currency restrictions, as well as foreign exchange interventions. The gradual adaptation of Ukraine's economy to the war and the replacement of psychological shock by economic logic require a change in approaches to monetary policy.
The article substantiates the need to strengthen the monetary policy of the NBU. Strengthening the monetary policy of the NBU is aimed at compressing the money supply, and its effectiveness depends on the coordination of measures with the government.
The way in which inflation expectations are formed influences the consequences of monetary policy. Therefore, the NBU, which aims at price stability, should take into account the inflation expectations of economic agents when planning monetary measures.
Adaptive and rational hypotheses of inflation expectations are estimated. It is established that the reasons for the differences in the mechanisms of inflation expectations are explained by rational expectations and ways of disseminating information. It is concluded that the main focus in assessing monetary policy is to determine the characteristics of the factors shaping inflation expectations in Ukraine. The NBU can increase the effectiveness of monetary policy by developing and implementing measures to strengthen the impact on inflation expectations of economic agents.
A Mass–Magnitude Relation for Low-mass Stars Based on Dynamical Measurements of Thousands of Binary Star Systems
Authors: Giovinazzi Mark R. , Blake Cullen H. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Stellar mass is a fundamental parameter that is key to our understanding of stellar formation and evolution, as well as the characterization of nearby exoplanet companions. Historically, stellar masses have been derived from long-term observations of visual or spectroscopic binary star systems. While advances in high-resolution imaging have enabled observations of systems with shorter orbital periods, measurements of stellar masses remain challenging, and relatively few have been precisely measured. We present a new statistical approach to measuring masses for populations of stars. Using Gaia astrometry, we analyze the relative orbital motion of >3800 wide binary systems comprising low-mass stars to establish a mass–magnitude relation in the Gaia G
RP band spanning the absolute magnitude range 14.5 >

M

G

> 4.0, corresponding to a mass range of 0.08 M
⊙ ≲ M ≲ 1.0 M
⊙. This relation is directly applicable to >30 million stars in the Gaia catalog. Based on comparison to existing mass–magnitude relations calibrated for K

s
magnitudes from the Two Micron All Sky Survey, we estimate that the internal precision of our mass estimates is ∼10%. We use this relation to estimate masses for a volume-limited sample of ∼18,200 stars within 50 pc of the Sun and the present-day field mass function for stars with M ≲ 1.0 M
⊙, which we find peaks at 0.16 M
⊙. We investigate a volume-limited sample of wide binary systems with early-K dwarf primaries, complete for binary mass ratios q > 0.2, and measure the distribution of q at separations >100 au. We find that our distribution of q is not uniform, rather decreasing toward q = 1.0.
