Role of Syed Atta Ullah Shah Bukhari in the Religious Movements of Sub-Continent (Analytical Study)
Get PDFSayyed Atta Ullah Shah Bukhari had a remarkable past.He was born in the period of India,s history which the Muslims were going to be unaware of the role meaning of freedom.He played his religious role shoulder to shoulder with the other freedom fighters.He accordance with the political demands of that age.He explained real meaning of freedom by creating awareness and inciting hatred against the Brittish like the traditional scholars of the age,he did not regard it his sole responsibility to discharge conventional religious duties regarding mosque and rituals, rather he stepped forward and played his role as leader of national movements of freedom. This paper attempts to enlighten many aspects of his contribution towards religious and freedom movements of the Sub-Continent
Potential miRNAs as Diagnostic Biomarkers for Differentiating Disease States in Ulcerative Colitis: A Systematic Review
No full textUlcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the colon, triggering persistent inflammation and ulceration, resulting in a severe impact on patients’ quality of life. Currently, the standard diagnostic methods for UC include invasive procedures such as colonoscopy and the use of non-specific inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, which can be inconvenient or painful and lack specificity. This underscores the need for non-invasive and highly specific biomarkers for UC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, typically 22 nucleotides in length, which are well described as gene expression regulators. Several studies have reported their differential expression in various pathological conditions, including UC. Due to their role in gene regulation and stability in biological fluids, miRNAs present a promising opportunity as biomarkers. This systematic review explores the potential use of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers to distinguish between active and inactive ulcerative colitis. Following PRISMA guidelines and based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven studies, encompassing a total of 514 participants (181 with active UC and 116 with inactive UC), were included. Multiple miRNAs exhibiting differential expression between active and inactive UC were identified. Most notably, miR-21, miR-126, miR-146b-5p, and miR-223 exhibited consistent upregulation in active UC, suggesting their potential as diagnostic biomarkers. Supporting these findings is the fact that these miRNAs are involved in inflammatory pathways, further highlighting their relevance to the pathogenesis of UC. This review emphasizes the need for further validation studies with larger cohorts to confirm the utility of miRNAs as diagnostic tools for UC disease activity differentiation, which could enhance non-invasive disease monitoring and inform therapeutic decision-making. Future research should also evaluate the prognostic potential of these miRNAs for predicting treatment responses and long-term disease outcomes
INVESTIGATION OF HETEROGENEITIES IN GENERALIZED GAS-SOLID FLUIDIZED SYSTEMS
No full text欧拉两相流模型经常用于分析气固流动系统。在本工作中，首先进行了关联长度的分析，使用一般曳力（如Wen-Yu曳力）的双流体模型定量分析了气固系统的特征关联长度。结果表明，不论颗粒浓度如何，介尺度结构在周期边界条件下均会出现，而且特征关联长度具有拐点的现象。 在实践中，气固系统可运行于多种方式，而它们都展示出了一定的介尺度非均匀性。这些非均匀结构影响了系统整体的性能。为了精确的模拟与分析气固系统，亚网格的介尺度非均匀性必须考虑。文中利用漂移通量的方法评估了不同的曳力模型。结果表明，能量最小多尺度（EMMS）方法得到的曳力系数是本征的凹函数，因而可以预测双态共存，并且对于网格分辨率的依赖很弱。之后，将EMMS模型与通用的双流体模型相结合在双周期边界条件下，分析了不同的广义气固流动系统（如提升管、下降管和湍动床）。并与实验结果进行了对比，发现符合较好。 最后，基于对气固流化床中气泡与聚团现象的认识，提出了一个基于结构的混合模型，初步模拟结果显示与实验较吻合，对于这种方法的网格依赖问题也进行了初步测试
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
