Pakistani and Indian Judicial Attitude towards the Applicability of Falsus in Uno, Falsus in Omnibus
Get PDFThe Latin maxim “falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus” means "false in one thing, false in everything." The Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) has validated the applicability of the maxim. This paper is restricted to critically analysing the extraneous and non-practical assumptions made by SCP that have been lessening the scope of the judge and closing the doors of the court for the witnesses. The paper qualitatively conducts a comparative survey of Pakistani and Indian Judicial attitudes toward the maxim to pinpoint passive assumptions made by SCP while validating the applicability of the maxim
Factors Affecting Career Decision Making of Students: A Comparative Study of Public and Private Colleges in District Muzaffargarh
Get PDFCareer selection is one of major important choices which students make in determining future plans as well as the path of an individual according to its own needs and their condition. The present research was conducted to identify the role of College in career decision making of intermediate level students in Muzaffargarh city Punjab Pakistan. The comparative study was conducted in three different colleges. The sample size was 200 which included male students only. The factors impacting the career decision making of students were observed, compared and analyzed across three colleges. Interview schedule was used for data collection from respondents who were selected with the help of simple random sampling within the target population. The career decision making of students is influenced by several factors like social environment, teacher-student relation, and economic conditions
Identification of Pathogenic Fungi in Renal Transplant Patients by Conventional and Molecular Methods
Get PDFOpportunistic fungal infections due to the immune- compromised status of renal transplant patients are related to high rates of morbidity and mortality regardless of their minor incidence. Delayed in identification of invasive fungal infections (IFIs), will lead to delayed treatment and results in high mortality in those populations. The study aimed to assess the frequency of invasive fungal infection in kidney transplant recipients by conventional and molecular methods. This study included 100 kidney transplant recipients (KTR) (75 males, and 25 females), collected from the Centre of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation in the Medical City of Baghdad. Blood samples were collected during the period from June 2018 to April 2019. Twenty one out of 100 renal-transplanted patients were infected with pathogenic fungi, four of the patients were females and 17 were males. There is an observation of a high incidence of fungemia in patients with the abnormal value of blood urea according to PCR and culture results. Referring to fungal isolates the most prevalent was Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which account for 19 isolates out of 21 the other two isolates were Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and Aspergillus flavus. The results of the current study show significant correlation between PCR and culture methods at (P<0.0009)
Barbituric Acids: A Review of Preparation, Reactions and Biological Applications
Get PDFBarbiturates, which are derived from the medically significant substance barbituric acid also known as malonylurea or 4-hydroxyuracil, are employed as anaesthetics, sedative-hypnotics, anticonvulsants, and depressants of the central nervous system. In recent years, researchers have paid great attention to compounds and derivatives of barbituric acid, although the first barbituric acid was discovered in 1864 by Adolf Von Baeyer. Due to its great medical and biological importance and wide applications in polymerization catalysts, plastics and textiles, aqueous or oil inks, and polymers. The background, reactions, and methods of preparing barbituric acid have been studied over the last ten years
Estimation of Botanical Diversity by Molecular Marker Methods
Get PDFVarious molecular methods could be utilized in order to investigate botanical diversity. Arbitrary primed DNA, variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequencing, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and sequence-tagged simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are all briefly reviewed. DNA-based approaches have recently been proved to be useful for crucial tasks, like specimen identification and targeted screening for expected or known invaders, according to a recent study. Prior to more ambitious applications, as extensive surveys of complex environmental samples and propagule pressure prediction, could be conducted, considerable technological obstacles should be solved. The aim of the current review was to estimate the molecular techniques used for assessing the genetic diversity of plants. The degree of variation among the plant species based on genetics is described as the genetic diversity of plants, evaluating the possible value regarding the current invasive species monitoring methods
Genetic Polymorphisms in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Get PDFPolycystic ovarian syndrome can be defined as an endocrine disorder that most affects the reproductive system of women of childbearing age; its causes are not exactly known. However, the majority of the experts agree that it is a multifactorial entity with multiple factors. Genetics is becoming increasingly important. In recent years, several genes that are involved in the pathogenic processes of this syndrome have been identified. Within these, the most important ones are the ones that encode steroidogenesis enzymes and insulin receptors, as well as other hormones that are associated with the actions of insulin and gonadotropins and their receptors. The results obtained included 1) women with PCOS had significantly lower levels of adiponectin compared to controls. Adiponectin levels were significantly lower in both lean and obese women with PCOS compared to the control group. 2) PCOS women had significantly higher levels of LH, FSH, LH/FSH ratio, and total testosterone compared to controls. 3) Both lean and obese PCOS women had significantly higher levels of LH, LH/FSH ratio, and total testosterone compared to the control group, however, FSH levels were significantly increased only in obese PCOS women compared to controls. 4) PCOS women had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and lower levels of HDL-cholesterol compared to controls. 5) Both lean and obese PCOS women had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and VLDL cholesterol compared to controls. Only obese PCOS women had significantly lower levels of HDL-cholesterol compared to the controls. 6) The genotype analysis of FSHR gene polymorphism showed that the heterozygote Ala/Thr genotype was significantly more frequent in PCOS patients than in controls (64.1% versus 40%)

Shaping Behaviour as Proactive Approach for Awareness of Safety and Wellbeing: Secondary Grade Curriculum
No full textThe Shyness, reluctance, hesitation, and unawareness hamper to react in a safe way and may cause causalities. Usually children between the age of 13 to 15 get involved in road accidents due to carelessness. Safety awareness reduces the chances of accidents and injury happenings. A sample of 200 students and 99 teachers from secondary level public schools was taken. In order to develop awareness among secondary school students, action oriented SW instructional methods through hands-on-activities, experiential learning, labs, weather safety precaution, fire, electricity safety, and ways to motivate students to protect themselves and conserve their wellbeing were used. By using valid and reliable survey questionnaire and observation protocol, perceptions about SW were assessed after interventions and prominent awareness and behavioural changes were declared such as reduced number of accidents and injuries. The results are useful for the school administration and teachers to reflect on the inclusion of safety and wellbeing activities
Design and Synthesis Ligands Tetradents Substituted with Halogenes in α- Position and Conjugation with Riboflavin (Bioconjugates): Conjugate ligands Type TPA’s with Flavonoids as un Electron Mediator
Get PDFIn this article, we describe the process of binding riboflavin to a simple tetradents ligand substituted in α- position from TPAs types, by reacting bromotetraacetate riboflavin with α- substituted TPA with one of the pyridine rings by nitrile group and the two other pyridine rings by halogen atoms. This type of ligands showed very important properties for the activation and transfer of oxygen to a substrate in presence of iron salt. After the tetradents were obtained, the nitrile group was reduced to an amine group where it reacts with Boc group to protect one of the amine hydrogen and then bound to the bromotetraacetate through the amine group under special reactive conditions, to form the α-8-TPAs N- Ac4riboflavin ligands. This compound can be described as a molecular tweezers in which the flavin moiety acts as a potential electron mediator
