    The development of new drugs/drug candidates for medical treatment remains an exciting but challenging process as only a limited number of synthetic compounds fit well into the discovery and development process after multiple experiments and screening for their preclinical properties [...

    An efficient numerical simulation and mathematical modeling for the prevention of tuberculosis

    The main purpose of this research is to use a fractional-mathematical model including Atangana-Baleanu derivatives to explore the clinical associations and dynamical behavior of the tuberculosis. Herein, we used a lately introduced fractional operator having Mittag-Leffler kernel. The existence and inimitability problems to the relevant model were examined through the fixed-point theory. To verify the significance of the arbitrary fractional-order derivative, numerical outcomes were explored from the biological and mathematical viewpoints using the values of model parameters. The graphical simulations show the comparison of the predictor-corrector method (PCM) and Caputo method (CM) for different fractional orders and the results indicated the significant preference of PCM over CM

    dalawhatyoumust: Kaaps, translingualism and linguistic citizenship in Cape Town, South Africa

    In 2016 Wayde Van Niekerk, a South African athlete of mixed-race heritage won an Olympic gold medal. In South Africa, his win caused hashtags such as #proudlysouthafrican, #blackexcellence and #colouredexcellence to trend online. By and large, these hashtags index the ongoing competitive discourses regarding nationalism, race and culture in Cape Town (cf. Author, 2018). Amongst these hashtags, however, was #dalawhatyoumust, a Kaaps hashtag generally meaning to �do what needs to be done�. Unlike the aforementioned hashtags, this one seems to cross the linguistic and racial divide despite its strong associations with Coloured1 people on the Cape Flats. The seemingly effortless uptake of this hashtag by diverse South Africans suggest that it has somehow become unmoored of its ethnic and linguistic inception. We explore the use of this Kaaps hashtag as a form of translingual practice which is affect-laden and trans portable across and between diverse users online and which promotes a particular �cool Capetonian� culture. Analyzing select posts from the #dalawhatyoumust thread on Facebook, we provide a nuanced look at #dala whatyoumust as an uplifting genre which proleptically advises nameless viewers of the importance of selfactualization, determination and aspiration. Additionally, we include Goffman�s (1974) framing foundation to investigate how positivistic discourse has been rhizomatically taken up by a �realm� of implicit collective users online. This research interrogates long-held ideological boundaries between Kaaps and legitimized Standard Afrikaans and standard English. We conclude with a focus on Kaaps hashtags as semiotic acts of Linguistic Citizenship (cf. Williams and Stroud, 2013) which allows for the conjoining of Kaaps with diverse audiences, complex trajectories, and an assortment of accompanying semiotics. Following Stroud (2018:3) we argue that this Kaaps hashtag has become a form of languaging that facilitates ��the building of broad affinities of speakers that cut across�divisions and borders, and that negotiate co-existence/co-habitation outside of common ground in recognition of equivocation�. In South Africa, division was the order of the day and when we explore contemporary ordinary moments posted by heterogenous users using #dalawhatyoumust (henceforth #dwym) we aim to explore the ordinariness of languaging which brings people together despite their race, linguistic background, and ethnicity, that is to say an affinity of �cool Capetonian� style

    Analysis and numerical simulation of tuberculosis model using different

    The main goal of the current research is to study and explore dynamic behavior of tuberculosis by using fractional mathematical model. In this study, recently introduced fractional operator (FO) having ML non-singular kernel was used. Fixed point theory is utilized to explore the unique and existing problems in suitable model. Numerical outcomes are discovered for the verification of arbitrary fractional order derivative. These numerical outcomes are discovered from mathematical and biological perspectives by using the model parameters values. Graphical simulation shows the comparison between Fractional Caputo (Fr. Cap) method and AB Caputo (AB Cap) predictor corrector method for different fraction order. The present study suggested that AB Cap is much better than Fr. Cap.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
