Challenges of Teaching Chinese as a Subject in an English-dominated Region: Focus on Sindh, Pakistan
Get PDFSindh is a multilingual province in Pakistan where politics of language and clash of language ideologies have played a significant role. English is viewed as a language of power, and Urdu is generally considered as a symbol of national cohesion in Pakistan. In Sindh both these languages are used in official and educational domains In Sindh’s language ecology, English occupies an important position. In addition to these two languages, Sindhi is widely spoken and is associated with Sindh’s regional and ethnic consciousness. Pakistan\u27s pivot to China policy is slowly impacting language policy and planning in Sindh. Politicians have started talking about making Chinese a compulsory subject from grade 6 onwards in Sindh’s educational institutions. However, this language policy decision has met resistance from the English-speaking class, and the Urdu, Seraiki, and Sindhi speech communities who look at the imposition of Chinese language with distrust. The aim of this research article is to investigate how language teachers and students in Sindh react to the Chinese language policy and planning. A survey questionnaire was sent to participants to explore their perceptions of imposing the Chinese language in Sindh. 33 participants aged between 20 to 40 responded to 14 questions included in the survey. Extracts taken from their responses were codified into broader themes and qualitative analysis was carried out using Philipson’s (1992) imperialism concept. The findings showed that the pro-Chinese class is struggling to replace English in an ecology of language where speakers of minor languages are already resisting the hegemony of major languages.

Cultural, Interpersonal Relationships and Communication Challenges as Perceived by Nigerian Post-graduate Students in a Public Academic Institution in Malaysia
Get PDFThis study explored Nigerian post-graduate students’ perceptions of intercultural communication challenges faced in the wider socio-cultural context of society as well as in the setting of a higher education institution in Malaysia. Core findings of two focus group interviews with fourteen Nigerian students are reported. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and coded. Inductive qualitative analysis was used to determine categories and themes which emerged in the focus groups’ data. The main highlights discovered were the issues of local media’s indiscriminate generalizations and biased coverage of activities of Nigerians. The informants also referred to Malaysians’ natural proclivity for silence and their poor responsiveness in communicative interactions, the language barrier as well as religion-induced discriminations as factors contributing to the inefficacy of intercultural communication. The findings are discussed with reference to the macro-cultural patterns of world cultures as well as the culture-specific qualities of the Malaysian society
Study of Metabolic Syndrome in Pre and Post Menopausal Women
Get PDFObjective: The goal of this study was to determine the occurrence of metabolic disorder (MS) and its various components among pre-and postmenopausal women and their associated relationship between menopausal status and MS.
Materials and methods: The present study was conducted at the Biochemistry department in association with Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad. The necessary approval was obtained from the institutional ethical committee to conduct the study and informed written consent was also obtained from the study subjects. The cross-sectional case-control study included premenopausal females aged between 20-40 years as the control group (n=41) postmenopausal females aged between 50-60 years as the case group (n=41).
Results: In the study group (post-menopause women), the mean value of BMI is 26.35±2.302 (kg/m2). In comparison with the control group (pre-menopause women), the mean value of BMI is 24.05±1.851 (kg/m2). There was a statically significant increase in the levels of BMI in the study group in comparison with the control group. There was a statically significant increase in the levels of SBP and DBP in the study group compared with the control group. In the study group, the mean value of FBS is 127.12±48.186 (mg/dl). In comparison with the control group (pre-menopause women), the mean value of FBS is 96.12±25.567 (mg/dl). There was a statically significant increase in the levels of FBS in the study group compared with the control group.
Conclusion: It has been concluded that MS was significantly more prevalent among postmenopausal women than premenopausal women. This indicates that they are at risk of developing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, health care workers should closely monitor for the two conditions as metabolic syndrome is an underlying condition for other non-communicable diseases and also be advised to adopt healthy lifestyles to minimize the incidence of these conditions
A systematic review on Drug Re-profiling/Re-Purposing
Get PDFHardcore capability of drug repurposing has allowed rising population of diversified diseased patients to approach various medications with known safety profiles. In an ongoing scenario considering current pharmaceutical market, we have numerous drugs that are approved and repurposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Developing and bringing a novel drug molecule from the laboratory to a market requires a lot of investment in terms of money, efforts, and time. On the other hand, repurposing a drug holds the capability of bringing out best cures with harmless, ease availability and inexpensive quality. Sildenafil, Chloroquine, Metformin are some examples of repurposed drug used in multiple disease models. Despite numerous challenges, drug repurposing stood to be a core component to any comprehensive drug re-discovering strategies which has been planned to bring benefit to the patients suffering from a wide variety of dreadful ailments. In this review, we have discussed the various repurposed drugs in numerous types of cancer, deadly novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and some orphan diseases. This paper holds various examples of drugs which are still under clinical trial and have high chances of being approved as repurposed drugs benefitting humankind

Language Choice among the Punjabi Sikh Community in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia
Get PDFWhen a minority group interacts and comes into contact with individuals from the dominant language, they tend to choose a commonly understood language. Language choice is forced to negotiate their own identity and cultural practices with their dominant culture. This can create a conflict, as in the case of the Punjabi community, who try to adopt new cultural norms and maintain their own identity when living in a dominant cultural group. With the growing number of Punjabis in Sabah, specifically in the capital city of Kota Kinabalu, East Malaysia, this situation presents an excellent case for advancing our knowledge about the challenges that the process of assimilation and enculturation may have on the Punjabi community living in a society which predominantly is of a different culture in Sabah. This study thus addresses the impact of social integration among a small population of the Punjabi Sikhs living in Kota Kinabalu. Data is collected using a questionnaire and interviews with several community members. The study draws implications on how a minority group adapts to the dominant culture and provides possible avenues for future research
