    Abstract Despite researchers having averred that big data analytics (BDA) transforms firms' ways of doing business, knowledge about operationalizing these technologies in organizations to achieve strategic objectives is lacking. Moreover, organizations' great appetite for big data and limited empirical proof of whether BDA impacts organizations' transformational capacity poses a need for further empirical investigation. Therefore, this study explores the association between big data analytics management capabilities (BDAMC) and innovation performance via dynamic capabilities (DC), by applying the PLS-SEM technique to analyzing the feedback of 149 firms. Consequently, we ground our arguments on dynamic capability and social capital theory rather than a resource-based view that does not provide suitable explanations for the deployment of resources to adapt to change. Accordingly, we advance this research stream by finding that BDAMC significantly enhances innovation performance through DC. We also extend the literature by disclosing how BDAMC strengthens DC via strategic alignment and social capital.

    Abstract Objective: To develop a valid and reliable scale for measuring psychosocial issues of hearing-impaired school children.
    Methods: The cross-sectional study with four stage model of scale development was conducted at Multan, Muzafargarh, and Dera Ghazi Khan Pakistan from August 2018 to January 2019. The four stages were item generation, expert validation, conversion of scale into sign language and psychometric study. The sample comprised hearing-impaired school children aged 18-23 years who were studying Special Education schools in Multan, Pakistan.
    Results: Of the 230 subjects, there were 110(47.8%) boys and 120(52.2%) girls. The overall mean age was 19.90±2.46 years. Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation revealed 26 items in 'Depressive Affect', 'Social Isolation' and 'Feeling of Anger' sub-scales with high internal consistency (r=0.85) and validity (r=-0.32).
    Conclusions: The internalised nature of psychosocial issues of children with hearing impairment needs timely identification and intervention so that silent suffering can be prevented to improve psychosocial functioning of such children.

    Abstract Objective: To check if complete pathological response in breast cancer is a good prognostic factor.
    Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised data from January 2012 to December 2015 of all patients who received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and had no distant metastasis at diagnosis. Mastectomy patients were excluded. Complete pathological response was defined as no detectable tumour cell in breast and axilla on pathological examination of the resected specimen. Tumour characteristics and 5-year disease free survival and overall survival were recorded. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
    Results: Of the 353 patients whose data was evaluated, 91(25.8%) had complete pathological response. Mean age at diagnosis was 43±10 years. Among them, 62(68%) patients had grade III tumour, 39(42.9%) were negative for oestrogen receptor, 58(63.7%) were negative for progesterone receptor, 25(27.5%) were positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, and 26(28.6%) patients were triple negative. Overall, 28((30.7%) patients had recurrence; 20(71.4%) had distant metastasis, 6(21.4%) had local recurrence, and 2(7.14%) had contralateral cancer. The 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates (Kaplan-Meier Survial curve) were 70% (28 patients-recurrence) and 87% (15 patients-deaths), respectively.
    Conclusion: Despite complete disappearance of tumour, a significant number of patients developed recurrences.

    Abstract Two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), is a phytophagous haplodiploid mite and its control is largely based on the use of pesticides. But, the short life cycle and high reproductive rate allow them to develop resistance to many pesticides. To design a strategy for resistance management, a fitness cost study was conducted on different populations of T. urticae, i.e., spiromesifen selected (SPIRO-SEL), unselected (Unsel), and reciprocal crosses. After twelve rounds of selections, T. urticae developed high spiromesifen resistance (71.7-fold) compared to the Unsel strain. Results showed a fitness cost for SPIRO-SEL, Cross

    Abstract PPR is a small ruminant infectious illness that is wreaking havoc on economies in South Asia and Africa. Due to several hurdles, such as resistant strains and a limited regulatory framework, existing therapeutic vaccinations have failed to eradicate the disease. To overcome these challenges, a peptide-based vaccination with distinct immunological characteristics and less vulnerability to contamination, autoimmunity, and inflammatory diseases would be useful in accomplishing the suggested eradication goal. The possible CTL and B-cell epitopes of PPRV's four immunogenic proteins (H, F, M, and N) were predicted using a variety of immunoinformatic methods. Protein-protein docking confirmed that the proposed chimeric vaccine has a considerable affinity for the ovine toll-like receptor. In a biological system, the molecular dynamic simulation confirmed the in vivo stability of the protein. The immune simulation predicted the induction of immunoglobulins, interleukins, interferons, helper T cells, and cytotoxic T cells, which is critical for boosting host immunity during infection. Moreover, the translation efficiency was verified through in silico cloning of the vaccine in a bacterial expression system following codon optimization. Thus, our findings suggest that the candidate vaccine will help in provoking a robust and long-lasting immunity in animals against PPRV infection.

    Abstract Insect pests not only damaged field crops during the growing season, but also injured stored grain and stored food commodities. The development of substitute treatments for pest control in food products is an increasing demand from the food industry, which should meet consumer demands for the minimum use or elimination of pesticides. Modified atmospheres with higher concentrations of atmospheric gases, especially carbon dioxide (CO₂) provide a cost-effective method to kill pests of stored products. CO₂ is one of the hastiest option for arthropods control among latest commercial treatments, proposing complete control within hours. In present study aimed to determine the efficacy of CO₂ against different stages of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) that affect stored-food products. Different levels of the carbon dioxide like 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45% were used to protect the different flours such as chickpea, wheat, peanuts, porridge, rice and maize from the larvae and adult of red flour beetle under laboratory conditions at 27 ± 2 °C with Light (L): Dark (D) 12: 12, and 65 ± 5% relative humidity. Results showed that mortality increased with the increase of concentration CO2 level.

    Abstract Aims: Antibiotic resistance is a major problem in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of XDR Salmonella among local population of Lahore and genotyping of isolates for antibiotic-resistant genes.
    Methods and results: A total of 200 blood samples from suspected typhoid fever patients were collected. One hundred and fifty-seven bacterial samples were confirmed as Salmonella Typhi and 23 samples were confirmed as Salmonella Paratyphi after biochemical, serological and PCR based molecular characterization. Antibiogram analysis classified 121 (67·2%) Salmonella isolates as MDR and 62 isolates (34·4%) as XDR. The predominant resistance gene was ampC with 47·7% prevalence, followed by gyrA, catA1, tet(A), aac (3)-la, qnrS, bla
    Conclusion: Large number of clinical XDR S. Typhi-resistant against third generation cephalosporins have been reported.
    Significance and impact of the study: The current study highlights the possible emergence of clinical XDR S. Typhi cases in Lahore, Pakistan. Potential attribution of phenotypic and genotypic XDR cases may help to contribute targeted therapy.
