Politics and Exhaustion — with Asad Haider
No full textTheorist and author Asad Haider joins Below the Radar to discuss questions he explores in his book, Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump. Asad discusses how class dynamics cannot be separated from identity-driven movements. As well, he explores ideas of political exhaustion in the tradition of political theorists such as Sylvain Lazarus and Alain Badiou. In this interview, Asad interrogates the role of identity in politics and how it has been taken up in discourse — complicating the relationship between race and class in a context that has been defined by capital interests. Asad and Am discuss theoretical questions around frameworks for political organizing and solidarity across movements. He also speaks to our current moment as one of political exhaustion, where it\u27s difficult to mobilize transformative political change
Pakistan Library Association: The difficult beginnings
Get PDFThis paper traces the history of the initiative that led to the formation of the Pakistan Library Association and deals with the difficulties it faced in its functioning during the first few years of its life. It uses primary documents dealing with this period especially those related to its formation, constitutional difficulties, and operational problems. It tries to explain the reasons why senior
librarians stayed away from it in the initial period. It also tries to rectify certain factual mistakes made or inappropriate interpretations of previous writers which were considered important for the younger generation
Prospective study of NSAIDs prescribing in Saudi Arabia: Cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risk in patients with diabetes mellitus
No full textObjectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) prescriptions in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and to evaluate their suitability based on patient gastrointestinal/cardiovascular (GI/CV) risk profiles. Materials and methods: We retrospectively identified patients with DM, who were seen at a primary care facility from March 1 to 31, 2016. GI risk factors, CV histories, and current medications were recorded. Data were evaluated for appropriateness of NSAID prescribing by using current understanding and accepted guidelines. Results: A total of 443 evaluable patients were reviewed. NSAIDs were prescribed in 171 patients (38.5%). Ibuprofen (23.5%) was the most frequently prescribed drug, followed by celecoxib (20%) and naproxen (14.1%). Of 171 patients, 76 (44.4%) had a previous history of CV events, while 52 patients without CV history had a moderate to very high 10-year risk of heart disease. Markedly fewer patients with CV history (19.1%) than patients without CV history were prescribed naproxen. Patients at high GI risk (22.9%) were prescribed traditional NSAIDs without a gastroprotective agent. Overall, 22.9% of patients at high GI risk and 65.8% at high CV risk were prescribed NSAIDs that were not in accordance with current guidelines or recommendations of regulatory agencies. Conclusion: Inappropriate prescribing of NSAIDs was found in more than half of the studied DM patients who were at risk for significant GI and CV adverse events. Assessment of GI and CV risks in DM patients is crucial to tailor NSAID selection and optimize patient outcomes

Taking LOTE Seriously: Pushing Foreign Language Education
No full textSibgha Haider and Noushin Ahmed, CWP 102: Argumentation and Research Faculty Mentors: Professor Dr. Susan Mary Paige, Academic Success Program and Professor Jane Sullivan, College Writing Program
It is a common misconception that speaking English can get you anywhere in the world. In reality, you need a second language even in America to have an advantage in society. In a non-English speaking country, non-bilingual English speakers are completely lost. Foreign languages need to be taught earlier in education, specifically before the age of 10, when the “critical period” of language development ends. Even though evidence in our literature review suggests that learning a second language earlier is very useful in a child’s development, many schools in Western New York have pushed foreign language to middle school and grade six despite the research-based evidence. Introducing new languages so late in a child’s development is only setting them up for frustration and failure and making it unnecessarily difficult for children to learn a second language. This research project, with prior IRB approval, surveys the 26 school districts that participate in the Erie County, New York Association of School Boards to ascertain when and why these schools are offering foreign language studies in a child’s elementary-school years.https://digitalcommons.buffalostate.edu/srcc-sp20-edu/1008/thumbnail.jp
Economic engagement and disease prevalence among elderly people in Rawalpindi, Pakistan
Get PDFObjective: To explore the relationship between the economic engagement and the prevalence of diseases among elder people in Rawalpindi city, Pakistan. Methodology: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in two union councils (UC# 46 of Rawal Town and UC# 36 of Potohar Town) of Rawalpindi city. A sample of 384 respondents aged 60-years and above was interviewed. Descriptive analysis and chi-square tests were run to see the correlation between economic engagement and the prevalence of diseases. Results: There was significant correlation between the economic activism and prevalence of diseases among elderly people. About 42.4% elderly persons were economically active and they had fewer diseases while those who were not working had more diseases. A p value of 0.003 showed a significant association among the selected study variables. We found a positively significant relationship between the age, gender, economic engagement and prevalence of disease among elderly people. Conclusion: By engaging the elderly population in healthy activities we can reduce their chances to fall ill. The majority of elderly who were engaged in any work had lesser prevalence of diseases. These findings can be helpful in devising well-directed policies to engaging elderly people to minimize their risk of diseases
Wearable smart contact lenses for continual glucose monitoring: a review
No full textDiabetes mellitus is a chronic disease requiring a careful management to prevent its collateral complications, such as cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases, retinopathy, nephropathy, foot and hearing impairment, and neuropathy. Self-monitoring of blood glucose at point-of-care settings is an established practice for diabetic patients. However, current technologies for glucose monitoring are invasive, costly, and only provide single snapshots for a widely varying parameter. On the other hand, tears are a source of physiological information that mirror the health state of an individual by expressing different concentrations of metabolites, enzymes, vitamins, salts, and proteins. Therefore, the eyes may be exploited as a sensing site with substantial diagnostic potential. Contact lens sensors represent a viable route for targeting minimally-invasive monitoring of disease onset and progression. Particularly, glucose concentration in tears may be used as a surrogate to estimate blood glucose levels. Extensive research efforts recently have been devoted to develop smart contact lenses for continual glucose detection. The latest advances in the field are reviewed herein. Sensing technologies are described, compared, and the associated challenges are critically discussed.</p
