A Framework for Designing Courses by Synergizing Project‐Based Learning With Gamification
The pedagogical methodologies have been influenced and improved with the help of many useful technological and other interventions. In the past, many efforts have been made to blend project‐based learning (PBL) with gamification for a variety of domains. However, it is significant to construct a systematic framework of gamified project–based learning that can be used as a reference for designing and executing different courses in different educat…
Development of novel Urdu language part of speech tagging system for improved Urdu text classification
Humans immediately understand any long text by processing or searching the Part-of-Speech (POS). Optimal AI classifier and a unique POS tagging approach guarantee the success of natural language processing. Improved Urdu text classification depends upon the choice of algorithm and an optimal tagging system. Support Vector Machine (SVM) and its latest hyper-tuned variants are effective classifiers because the decision function or support vectors h…
Investigation of a tri-renewable energy system coupled with battery and hydrogen storages for a sustainable city
A novel integrated energy system, where tri-renewable energy sources are coupled with a battery and hydrogen storage system, is proposed. The objective of this work is to investigate and evaluate the overall system thermodynamically. Solar, biomass, and wind energy sources are considered in the system development, and the potential needs of the community including electrical energy, space heating, charging stations, and hot water are fulfilled. A…
Application of the Boruta algorithm to assess the multidimensional determinants of malnutrition among children under five years living in southern Punjab, Pakistan
This study highlights age, mid-upper arm circumference, weaning practices, and immunization status as key determinants of weight-for-height and weight-for-age in children under five years. It also suggests that economic context may influence undernutrition. The findings can guide targeted strategies for combating undernutrition
Exploring the reasons for defaulting from childhood immunization
According to the study's findings, caregivers have their own perceptions regarding the non-completion of their children's vaccination schedule. The childhood immunization defaulting arises from various factors including child illness, Adverse Events Following Immunization (AEFIs) concerns, misconceptions, improper injection techniques, and negative vaccinator attitudes. The vaccination completion rate may be increased if the concerns of the careg…
Effects of adverse childhood experiences on university students’ ability to lead healthy lives
This study concludes that adverse childhood experiences have long-lasting negative effects on university students' health and behaviour, preventing them from leading healthy lives and excelling academically and professionally
Development and Validation of a Scale for Measuring Motivations to Use Facebook
This study is aimed at investigating the motivational needs of Pakistani Facebook users and intended to develop a scale to measure motivation to use Facebook among Pakistani users. Opting uses and gratifications theory and reviewing the relevant literature, the researchers developed a scale comprised of six motivations. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with the university students, and 1245 university students participated in this study. Th…

Objective: Examining the prevalence of different forms of birth defects and identifying their causes. Study design: Study Design: A cross-sectional study with retrospective analysis for causes. Place and duration of study: Department of Neurosurgery MMC hospital Mardan from 05 Jan 2021 to October 2021. Methods: All gender-neutral newborns seeking well-child care department of Neurosurgery MMC Mardan. Participating subjects were enlisted, and data…
Chlorhexidine for the prevention of omphalitis in infants with a single dose
Background: In 2013, 44% (2•761 million) of the projected 6.3 million worldwide children fatalities occurred in the first month of birth. Seventy-five percent of all newborn deaths occur within the first week of life worldwide. Neonatal mortality affects virtually solely low- and middle-income countries. These neonatal death rates may be greatly lowered if adequate health measures are taken during labour and delivery, with a focus on cleanliness.…
Pan-Genome Analysis of Oral Bacterial Pathogens to Predict a Potential Novel Multi-Epitopes Vaccine Candidate
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, mainly present in the oral cavity and causes periodontal infections. Currently, no licensed vaccine is available against P. gingivalis and other oral bacterial pathogens. To develop a vaccine against P. gingivalis , herein, we applied a bacterial pan-genome analysis (BPGA) on the bacterial genomes that retrieved a total number of 4908 core proteins, which were further utilized for t…

The success and failure of man is based on standard of Islam and the rejection/ denial of Islam. It is very delicate and crucial/ decisive issue because all the commandments of Sharia (Islamic law) are associated with the Islam and the denial/ rejection of Islam. If a person is Muslim, he abides by the sharia law and has a great reward in the world here after. But if, God forbid, some one denies Islam, his end is very painful, that is why denial …

Among the efforts made by Ullama (the Shariah Scholars), the work done in the field of Quranic sciences, is the prominent one, which is a vast science with various branches. These Ullama have worked on various aspects of these branches. One of them is the interpretational rules of Quran. The Ullama have derived such rules and principles that can help to a great extent in understanding Quran. By researching on this aspect, they owe the Muslim nati…
What can motivate Lady Health Workers in Pakistan to engage more actively in tuberculosis case-finding
This study indicated that interventions in addition to, or instead of, financial incentives could be used to increase LHW engagement in tuberculosis case-finding. Our finding about the strong role of internal motivation (intrinsic, religious) in Pakistan suggests that developing context-specific strategies that tap into internal motivation could allow infectious disease control programmes to improve engagement of community health workers without …
Community Knowledge about Tuberculosis and Perception about Tuberculosis-Associated Stigma in Pakistan
Tuberculosis- (TB) associated stigma is a well-documented phenomenon with various factors, both individual and societal, manifesting its role in shaping health-seeking behavior and contributing to suboptimal TB care in Pakistan. The objective of this study was to assess TB-related knowledge and perceived stigma among community members. This was a cross-sectional survey using a convenience sample of 183 individuals recruited between October and De…
Loss-to-follow-up and delay to treatment initiation in Pakistan’s national tuberculosis control programme
Concentrated efforts should be made by the National TB Control Programme to retain TB patients and innovative methods such as text reminders and behavior change communication may need to be used and tested
Antibacterial and Antifungal Activities of the Extract and Fractions of Aerial Parts of Heliotropium Bacciferum
Background: H. bacciferum belonging to the family Boraginaceae is an important medicinal plant. The current research was carried out to investigate the medicinal properties of this plant. Methodology: The crude (methanol fraction) and n-hexane, ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous fractions were subjected to antibacterial and antifungal activities by using standard methodology available in literature. Bacterial strains of Salmonella typhi, Escheric…
