The COVID-19 Crisis and Digital Transformation, Paving the Way for the Future of Digital Leadership in the Post-COVID-19 World
No full textThe current study seeks to examine the fundamental digital leadership competencies required for the post-COVID-19future of digital leadership. We employed the Scanalysing base for the literature published on the COVID-19 outbreakto shape the future of digital leadership by analyzing existing research on digital leadership, educational leadership,and health system leadership. The PRISMA statement 2015 is used for record selection and rejection, which is aglobally accepted approach. The final 61 articles were picked for the review, and VOS viewer software was used tocategorize the literature on digital leadership and the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher's choices and the resultsof the VOS viewer program revealed four primary categories. According to the study's conclusions, digital skills arerequired for employees and organizational leaders to prepare for future technological revolutions. Digital leaders mustbe able to understand digital technologies and make sound decisions to achieve business objectives
Hvilken betydning har forsoning i relasjoner? En kritisk diskursanalyse om forsoning som forståelsesramme i familievernet
No full textDenne kvalitative studiens overordnede mål har vært å utforske hvilke rådende diskurser om forsoning og tilgivelse som snakkes frem og forstås blant familieterapeuter innenfor konteksten av familievernet. Forsoning og tilgivelse står sentralt innenfor terapien og der mennesker er i berøring i med hverandre, og man kan tenke at det angår oss alle fordi det er relasjonelt. Datamaterialet er hentet gjennom kvalitative og semistrukturerte intervjuer av fire familieterapeuter hvor alle har en mastergrad eller videreutdanning i familieterapi og har sitt daglige arbeid i familievernet.
Studiens problemstilling er tematisert ut fra av en foucauldiansk diskursanalyse, med fokus på diskursenes virkning, språkets funksjon og maktkritiske perspektiver:
«Hva er familieterapeuters erfaring med begrepet forsoning? Hvilke idealer om forsoning er rådende i familievernet?»
Analysen har med forsoning som utgangspunkt resultert i fem hoveddiskurser:
Den psykologiske diskursen.
Diskursen om familien.
Den faglige diskursen.
Den sosiale og kulturelle diskursen.
Den religiøse diskursen.
Studiens hovedfunn viser blant annet at forsoningsbegrepet står frem som fremmed og brukes lite i møte med klienter selv om det er en sentral del av det terapeutiske arbeidet. Terapeutene forstår begrepet forsoning både som relasjonelt og individuelt, de beskriver forsoning som en kilde til arbeidsglede og de har en bevissthet og kjennskap til begrepet gjennom egen religiøse tro.
Oppgaven drøfter i lys av teori og metode hvordan opprettholdelse og reprodusering av normative måter å tenke om forsoning på, kan påvirke vår forståelse av hva forsoning og tilgivelse er. Studiens funn har implikasjoner for det familieterapeutiske feltet, da den illustrerer hvordan terapeuter, på tross av den «ekspertrollen» de innehar, ikke er avkoblet påvirkning fra sosialt og kulturelt betingede diskurser og egen kontekst i sin praksi
Association of Vitamin D Levels and Postpartum Depression
No full textObjectives: To determine the association of vitamin D levels and postpartum depression.Study Design: Prospective cohort study.Study Duration: April 2020 to October 2020.Settings: Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, PIMS Hospital, IslamabadMethodology: A total of 60 pregnant females were the part of the study where 30 pregnant females with Serum levels of 25(OH) D3 levels ? 20 ng/ml and 30 pregnant females with Serum levels of 25(OH) D3 levels > 20 ng/ml of age 20-35 years were selected. Patients with h/o depressive disorder, multiple pregnancy, CRF, and CLD were excluded. Group A (exposed group) included all pregnant females with Serum levels of 25(OH)D3 levels ? 20 ng/ml while Group B (unexposed group) included all pregnant females with Serum levels of 25(OH)D3 levels > 20 ng/ml. All cases were followed and outcome variable like post-partum depression was noted.Results: The mean age of women in group A was 30.20 ± 5.80 years and in the group, B was 30.13 ± 6.04 years. The mean gestational age in group A was 38.73 ± 1.23 weeks and in the group, B was 38.93 ± 1.05 weeks. The mean parity in group A was 2.13 ± 0.82 and in the group, B was 1.93 ± 1.01. In my study, there is a higher incidence of postpartum depression in women with vitamin D deficiency compared to those with normal vitamin D levels i.e. 73.33% vs 13.33% respectively with a p-value of 0.0004 and a relative risk of 5.50. Conclusion: Finally, this study concluded that there is a higher incidence of postpartum depression in women with vitamin D levels deficiency compared to those with normal vitamin D levels
Comparative Studies on the Amylase and Cellulase Production of Aspergillus and Penicillium
No full textFilamentous fungi are important due to their high enzymes production
potential. Many enzymes produced by fungi have related to
biotechnological applications in several industrial sectors. The
purpose of this study was to collect and isolate Penicillium and
Aspergillus species from different sources and examined for their
ability to produce cellulase and amylase. Ten fungal isolates of
genera, Aspergilus and Penicillium were examined for their ability to
produce industrial important enzymes. All fungal isolates exhibited
high DCZ/DFC ratio in cellulase and amylayes activity. It was also
evident that starch and cellulose medium effected the fungal growth.
Four Penicillium species viz. Penicillium janthinellum (IK-48),
Penicillium melinii (IK-49) and Penicillium velutinum (IK- 51) and
Penicillium waskmanii (IK- 50) showed the increased growth in starch
and cellulose medium as compare to control. P. waskmanii (IK- 50)
showed the highest growth stimulation in the cellulose and starch
medium. This study contributes to catalogue local fungal isolated in
Pakistan, and provides additional information to support future
research about the industrial potential of these microorganisms for
enzymes and, eventually, also secondary metabolites with anti-microbial
or anti-parasitic activities

Isolation and Screening of Amylolytic Filamentous Fungi
No full textFilamentous fungi are important due to their high enzymes production
potential. Many enzymes produced by fungi have related to
biotechnological applications in several industrial sectors. The
purpose of this study was to isolate filamentous fungi from different
sources and to screen for amylases production potential. Fifteen fungal
isolates of three genera, Aspergilus, Penicillium and Trichoderma were
examined for their ability to produce amylase. All isolates exhibited
enzymatic potential. Penicillium granulatum (FCBP1080), Aspergillus
raperi (FCBP1007) and Aspergillus speluneus (FCBP1128) were hyper
active in starch medium and showed the increased growth in starch
medium as compare to control. This study contributes to catalogue local
fungal isolated in Pakistan, and provides additional information to
support future research about the industrial enzymes potential of these
microorganisms for and, eventually, also secondary metabolites with
