    Abstract AbstractThe article makes an exploration of three motifs in the context of Lebanese-French Arab migrant writer Amin Maalouf’s fictional text Ports of Call (2001) by applying the theoretical framework of deterritorialization and reterritorialization as presented by the French theorists Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and expanded by the Indian-American theorist Arjun Appadurai. As suggested by the four key words of the writer’s introduction–namely ‘Lebanese’, ‘French’, ‘Arab’ and ‘migrant’–the three motifs being de-composed into their basic components are identity, especially the migrant identity, the Levant as a symbol of the migrant’s lost home and deterritorialization/reterritorialization in the context of globalization. Migrants are deterritorialized and departure from long-established origins causes a disruption in the conventional notions of ‘home’ and ‘identity’ turning them into something fluid rather than fixed. This leads to a revision of the postcolonial postulation which makes migrancy a locus for the reworking of nation’s primacy as a referent in the construction of identity. The intricate nature of relation between political and personal experiences highlights the tangling of ideological stances on nation and nationalism in the cultural production taking place at the site of migration.

    Abstract Objective: Task shifting, an approach to address physician shortage through redistribution of clinical tasks, may help address the high burden of chronic respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD. We aimed to measure its utility and impact in the Obstructive Lung Disease program (OLD).
    Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at five integrated outpatient departments of Primary Care Program within Indus Hospital & Health Network, Pakistan, from January 2018 to March 2023. After a formative evaluation, registered nurses were trained as Lung Health Nurses (LHNs) to perform spirometry, collect Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) including Asthma Control Test (ACT), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea score and COPD Assessment Test (CAT), counsel on inhaler use and tobacco cessation, and refer to pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Data was collected online contemporaneously on REDCap and later analyzed using Excel and STATA 14.
    Results: Pre-implementation, a monthly average of 126 asthmatics and 33 COPD patients visited primary care centers. Medical records of 147 OLD patients showed 8% received inhaler education, 3% completed ACT and 2% had mMRC documented. Implementation included capacity building of nine LHNs. Of 7427 referrals to the program, 86% underwent nurse-led assessments. LHNs performed spirometry (92%), PROMs assessments [ACT (89%), CAT (91%), mMRC (85%)], inhaler education (97%), tobacco cessation advice (85%) and made PR referrals (94%).
    Conclusion: Trained nurses can play a role in providing holistic and timely care for patients with CRDs and strengthen existing healthcare systems. Future directions may include expanding nurse clinical counselling roles through telehealth monitoring and home management.
