2024-04-01T03:30:16+00:00

Based on a bio-statistical survey, this abstract offers a summary of the weaver community's statistical profile. Data on the economic situation, education, occupation, housing, and health of the weaver community were gathered through the survey. The survey's pilot study reveals that the weaver community has substantial social and economic difficulties. The majority of weavers make less than the minimum wage, making up a considerable percentage of their meagre income. The degree of education is also poor; a large proportion of weavers have little access to formal education, healthcare, power, clean water, and sanitary facilities. Poor housing circumstances are common, with many weavers residing in cramped, subpar dwellings. The poll also showed that the weaver community has a strong feeling of community and resilience in spite of these difficulties. Numerous weavers conveyed a strong dedication to their trade and the preservation of traditional weaving methods and abilities. Additionally, they showed that they were eager to take part in education and training programmes to advance their knowledge and possibilities for earning money. The bio-statistical survey's overall findings emphasise the necessity of laws and initiatives targeted at resolving the socioeconomic problems the weaver community faces. Initiatives focused at promoting locally created and artisan textiles as well as efforts to increase access to healthcare, education, and other basic services have the potential to help the well-being of the weaver community and advance ethical and sustainable practices in the textile sector. The community of weavers has experienced a number of difficulties recently, such as competition from less expensive imported textiles, shifts in fashion preferences, and the effects of industrialization and automation on the textile sector. Therefore, this essay is created to help readers understand how the textile business contributes. The article discusses the socioeconomic standing, health, and recommended lifestyle model of weavers.

POSTERIOR REVERSIBLE ENCEPHALOPATHY SYNDROME (PRES) SECONDARY TO VASO-OCCLUSIVE CRISIS IN A SICKLE CELL ANEMIA PATIENT: A CASE REPORT

2024-04-01T06:27:40+00:00

Background: Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a clinico-radiological diagnosis, characterized by distinctive neuroimaging features and non-specific neurological symptoms including: visual disturbances, altered consciousness, headache and seizures. The neuroimaging alterations are reversible and predominantly posterior in the parieto-occipital region. PRES is classically suspected in patients with severe hypertension, renal failure, autoimmune disorders, eclampsia, or immunosuppressant medications. Also patients with sickle cell disease are exposed to different forms of brain insults as part of their disease process. So far, PRES has been reported in a few patients with sickle cell disease with some of these patients having recurrent episodes.
Case: This case report presents a 35-years-old Sudanese male known case of Sickle Cell Disease presenting with a full presenting picture of PRES included sudden onset of headache, seizures, visual disturbances, and altered consciousness. While the patient had exhibited near-all clinical traits of SCD, it was the vaso-occlusive crisis -in form of priapism- that the most evident of symptoms and signs which had evolved to PRES.
Discussion: Few hypotheses have been established regarding the pathophysiology of PRES. One believes that the sudden onset of hypertension causes breakdown in brain autoregulation especially in the occipital area. This leads to hyperperfusion and subsequent extravasation of proteins and fluids, forming a local vasogenic oedema. Another suggests that the endothelial dysfunction due to sepsis and eclampsia is the culprit mechanism of injury despite its association with ischemia and vasospasm. Patients with sickle cell disease are exposed to different forms of brain insults as part of their disease process, PRES has been reported in a few patients with sickle cell disease with some of these patients having recurrent episodes. We are reporting this unique case sickle cell disease and PRES to further highlight the coexistence of the two conditions.
Conclusion: This study highlights the potential association between sickle cell disease and the development of PRES. As it is well explained as a result from the vaso-occlusive crisis that takes place in brain blood vessels which leads to hypo-perfusion of the brain and thus brain ischemia, also explained by the endothelial injury in PRES-associated conditions which may lead to vascular instability and vasoconstriction.

SICK BUILDING SYNDROME: IMPACT OF IDEAL ROOFING ON OCCUPANTS HEALTH

2024-04-11T08:44:23+00:00

Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) has been defined as a “set of adverse health or discomfort symptoms that individuals experience when they spend time indoors, particularly in office buildings, and that lessen while away from the building” Apte et al. (2000). Various construction elements such as windows, floors, roof designs and construction methods can substantially increase or reduce health and safety levels. This can affect internal and external environments in workplaces. Therefore, the more sustainable the construction elements, the less hazardous or negative impacts on the building construction, the workforce, the environment, the occupants and vice versa. This study aims to use existing building construction elements and designs in North Cyprus to create a framework for developing and evaluating suitable roofing structures for adequate insulation in the North Cyprus residential buildings. This was achieved through research experiments on the construction of building elements, that is, roofing. Most SBS buildings in Cyprus have no roof structure or adequate insulation. Therefore, this experiment was carried out to prove that wrong roof systems contribute to SBS formation in buildings and the rate of SBS effects on the end users.

Marriage, a complex social institution, undergoes dynamic shifts influenced by societal, cultural, emotional, and economic factors across different times and regions. The process of mate selection involves a multifaceted interplay of factors, including physical attributes, socio-economic status, and societal norms. The study delved into the marriage perspectives in Bangladesh, examining the attitudes of unmarried young individuals toward marriage and mate selection. Employing a mixed-method research approach, the study collected information from a sample of 319 unmarried young individuals aged between 18 and 35 years, from Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Brahman aria and Camilla districts of Chattogram division in Bangladesh. The study analyzed varied viewpoints on marriage, highlighting it as a bond where individuals live together or as a social, religious, or familial unit. Preferences for love and arranged marriages entailed considerations like mutual understanding, family satisfaction, societal acceptance, and personal desires. Diverse viewpoints emerged regarding traits prioritized when choosing partners. While gentleness, education and beauty were highly valued, socio-economic factors such as economic stability, job status, and religiousness also held significance. Furthermore, participants emphasized differing characteristics when selecting grooms versus brides, demonstrating a distinct set of preferences for each gender. Understanding these perspectives offered valuable insights for policymakers, suggesting initiatives like educational programs on healthy relationships, cultural sensitivity training for matchmakers and advocating for open communication to ensure satisfactory decision-making in marriage. These insights would be helpful to contribute to a deeper comprehension of evolving marital paradigms in Bangladesh, laying the groundwork for informed social policies and a better understanding of the future societal landscape.

A NEW THEORY OF PARTICLE PHYSICS ABOUT COUPLING SYSTEM AND REGULAR MULTIVARIATE STATE

2024-04-15T08:29:34+00:00

In this paper, some particle science issues are considered and studied: Why the electric charge can not be fraction for any particles? Why composite particles are easy to split and the mass has decreased? Why the fundamental particles with identical quantum numbers have the unequal mass? These scientific problems are solved by establishing new particle theories: The mechanism of regular multivariate states is proposed to explain the characteristics of fundamental particles, The coupling theory of particle systems is proposed to explain the mass characteristics of composite particles. The scientific analysis of these mechanisms and theories are consistent with the experimental results of many particles, and according to these mechanisms and theories can derive many new particles.
