Abstract	Background: Self-reported measures of Excessive daytime Sleepiness, such as the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), have been widely used as a screening tool for OSA, but their accuracy in predicting OSA has been questioned. Objective: The main objective of this research is to re-evaluate the usage of ESS in predicting Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and to consider additional screening tools, such as polysomnography, to improve the accuracy of OSA diagnosis in the Pakistani population. Methods: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study design, conducted on 500 participants. Data was obtained from the hospital records at the Sleep Lab of Dow University Hospital from January 2021 to March 2023 who completed the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), received a clinical evaluation from a doctor, and underwent diagnostic polysomnography (PSG), polysomnography is a comprehensive sleep study that monitors various physiological parameters to diagnose sleep disorders. Results: Out of a total sample of 500 participants, 272 were males and 228 were females. The average age was 51 ± 12 years. The average body mass index (BMI) was 37.2 ± 8.1 Kg/m2 . The average Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score of the participants was 12.4 ± 4.2. The finding of our study shows Epworth sleepiness score is a good predictor of OSA (AUC: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.757-0.923). However, the optimal cutoff of ESS is 8.4 and above which shows sensitivity and specificity of 83.1% and 81.8% respectively. Conclusion: The results suggest that the Epworth Sleepiness Scale may be a useful tool for identifying individuals with OSA, although it also has a low false positive rate, there is a need for further research, and the importance of combining clinical assessment and diagnostic tests for accurate OSA diagnosis.

Abstract	The runs of homozygosity (ROH) were identified in 14 Pakistani cattle breeds (n = 105) by genotyping with the Illumina 50 K SNP BeadChip. These breeds were categorized into Dairy, Dual, and Draft breeds based on their utility and production performance. We identified a total of 10,936 ROHs which mainly consisted of a high number of shorter segments (1–4 Mb). Dairy group exhibited the highest level of inbreeding (FROH: 0.078 ± 0.028) while the lowest (FROH: 0.002 ± 0.008) was observed in Dual group. In 48 genomic regions identified with a high frequency of ROH, 207 genes were detected in the three breed groups. A substantially higher number of ROH islands detected in dairy breeds indicated the impact of the positive selection pressure over the years. Important candidate genes and QTL were detected in the ROH islands associated with economic traits like milk production, reproduction, meat, carcass, and health traits in dairy cattle.

Abstract	Product evaluations, ratings, and other sorts of online expressions have risen in popularity as a result of the emergence of social networking sites and blogs. Sentiment analysis has emerged as a new area of study for computational linguists as a result of this rapidly expanding data set. From around a decade ago, this has been a topic of discussion for English speakers. However, the scientific community completely ignores other important languages, such as Urdu. Morphologically, Urdu is one of the most complex languages in the world. For this reason, a variety of unique characteristics, such as the language's unusual morphology and unrestricted word order, make the Urdu language processing a difficult challenge to solve. This research provides a new framework for the categorization of Urdu language sentiments. The main contributions of the research are to show how important this multidimensional research problem is as well as its technical parts, such as the parsing algorithm, corpus, lexicon, etc. A new approach for Urdu text sentiment analysis including data gathering, pre-processing, feature extraction, feature vector formation, and finally, sentiment classification has been designed to deal with Urdu language sentiments. The result and discussion section provides a comprehensive comparison of the proposed work with the standard baseline method in terms of precision, recall, f-measure, and accuracy of three different types of datasets. In the overall comparison of the models, the proposed work shows an encouraging achievement in terms of accuracy and other metrics. Last but not least, this section also provides the featured trend and possible direction of the current work.

Abstract	Concerns regarding climate change pollution have remained critical in achieving sustainable development goals. However, countries are still having difficulty reducing environmental deterioration, requiring substantial attention. Hence, this study evaluates the effect of information and communication technology (ICT), institutional quality, economic growth, and energy consumption on ecological footprint under the environment Kuznets curve (EKC) framework in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries from 1990 to 2018. Moreover, this study also checks the impact of an interaction term (ICT and institutional quality) on ecological footprint. We utilized cross-section dependence, cross-section unit root, and Westerlund's cointegration tests for the econometric investigation to check cross-section dependence, stationarity, and cointegration among parameters. For long and short run estimation, we used pooled mean group (PMG) estimator. PMG outcomes demonstrate that the ICT and institutional quality clean the environment by mitigating the ecological footprint. Further, the joint impact of ICT and institutional quality also moderate environmental degradation. Moreover, economic growth and energy consumption increase the ecological footprint. In addition, empirical outcomes also support the presence of the EKC hypothesis in ASEAN countries. The empirical outcomes suggest that environmental sustainability's sustainable development goal can be achieved through ICT innovation and diffusion and by improving the intuitional quality framework.

Abstract	Coal fly ash from a coal fired power plant is a significant anthropogenic source of various heavy metals in surrounding soils. In this study, heavy metal contamination in topsoil around Sahiwal coal fired power plant (SCFPP) was investigated. Within distance of 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 and 31-40 km of SCFPP, total 56 soil samples were taken, 14 replicate from each distance along with a background subsurface soil sample beyond 60 km. Soil samples were subjected to heavy metals analysis including Fe, Cu and Pb by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). Composite samples for each distance were analyzed for Al, As, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni, Se, Sr, Zn by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP). Pollution indices of exposed soil including Enrichment Factor (EF), Contamination Factor (CF), Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), and Pollution Load Index (PLI) were calculated. Ecological risk index ([Formula: see text]) of individual metals and the Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI) for all metals were determined. Soil samples within 40 km of SCFPP were significantly polluted with Pb (mean 2.81 ppm), Cu (mean 0.93 ppm), and Fe (mean 7.93 ppm) compared to their background values (Pb 0.45, Cu 0.3, and Fe 4.9 ppm). Some individual replicates were highly contaminated where Pb, Fe, and Cu values were as high as 6.10, 35.4 and 2.51 ppm respectively. PLI, Igeo, CF, and EF for metals classified the soil around CFPP as "moderate to high degree of pollution", "uncontaminated to moderately contaminated", "moderate to very high contamination", and "moderate to significant enrichment" respectively with average values for Cu as 2.75, 0.82, 3.09, 4.01; Pb 4.79, 1.56, 6.16, 7.76, and for Fe as 1.20, 0.40, 1.62, 3.35 respectively. Average Ecological Risk Index ([Formula: see text]) of each metal and Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI) for all metals classified the soils as "low risk soils" in all distances. However, ([Formula: see text]) of Pb at a number of sites in all distances have shown "moderate risk". The linear correlation of physico-chemical parameter (EC, pH, Saturation %) and metals have recorded several differential correlations, however, their collective impact on Pb in 0-10 km, has recorded statistically significant correlation (p-value 0.01). This mix of correlations indicates complex interplay of many factors influencing metal concentrations at different sampling sites. The concentration of As, Cr, Co, Cd, and Zn was found within satisfactory limits and lower than in many parts of the world. Although the topsoil around SCFPP is largely recorded at low risk, for complete assessment of its ecological health, further research considering comprehensive environmental parameters, all important trace metals and variety of input pathways is suggested.

Abstract	The TGF-β superfamily is ubiquitously distributed from invertebrates to vertebrates with diverse cellular functioning such as cell adhesion, motility, proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. The present study aimed to characterize the TGF-β gene superfamily in buffalo through evolutionary, structural, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) analyses to find the functional effect of SNPs in selected genes. We detected 32 TGF-β genes in buffalo genome and all TGF-β proteins exhibited basic nature except INHA, INHBC, MSTN, BMP10, and GDF2, which showed acidic properties. According to aliphatic index, TGF-β proteins were thermostable but unstable in nature. Except for GDF1 and AMH, TGF-β proteins depicted hydrophilic nature. Moreover, all the detected buffalo TGF-β genes showed evolutionary conserved nature. We also identified eight segmental and one tandem duplication event
