    Abstract Historically, environmentalism has not served the US long-term objectives and goals to advance its influence and hegemony in the world. From the Post-cold war period onwards, US politics took war interventions as a top security issue and denied the non-traditional threats such as climate change to be a part of its national security agenda. On the other hand, many countries have included the threat of climate change in their national security domain. Meanwhile, in the US, climate action has never been a central part of its national security and foreign policy objective. The first section of this paper aims to critically evaluate the US domestic policies and foreign policy from the Nixon administration to Trump’s administration. It shows that the US has a promising start in addressing nontraditional threats but soon became a laggard in the subsequent years. Secondly, this paper tries to answer a very pertinent question that why does the US remain a laggard to consider environmentalism to be part of its national security agenda?

    Abstract Endometrial cancer (EC) is the 6th most common cancer in women around the world. Alone in the United States (US), 66,200 new cases and 13,030 deaths are expected to occur in 2023 which needs the rapid development of potential therapies against EC. Here, a network-based drug-repurposing strategy is developed which led to the identification of 16 FDA-approved drugs potentially repurposable for EC as potential immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). A network of EC-associated immune checkpoint proteins (ICPs)-induced protein interactions (P-ICP) was constructed. As a result of network analysis of P-ICP, top key target genes closely interacting with ICPs were shortlisted followed by network proximity analysis in drug-target interaction (DTI) network and pathway cross-examination which identified 115 distinct pathways of approved drugs as potential immune checkpoint inhibitors. The presented approach predicted 16 drugs to target EC-associated ICPs-induced pathways, three of which have already been used for EC and six of them possess immunomodulatory properties providing evidence of the validity of the strategy. Classification of the predicted pathways indicated that 15 drugs can be divided into two distinct pathway groups, containing 17 immune pathways and 98 metabolic pathways. In addition, drug-drug correlation analysis provided insight into finding useful drug combinations. This fair and verified analysis creates new opportunities for the quick repurposing of FDA-approved medications in clinical trials.

    Abstract Background: Incentive and penalty (I/P) programs are commonly used to increase employees' safety outcomes, but its influence on employees' safety outcomes is under-investigated. Moreover, under developed economies lack safety culture and there is dearth of literature focusing on empirical studies over there [1]. Based on these gaps, this study attempts to see the impact of I/P programs on safety outcomes in a developing country.
    Methods: The study was carried out in three stages, where Stage I revealed that selected 45 organizations were deficit of safety culture and practices, while only three firms were found good at safety practices. At Stage II, these three firms were divided in two clusters (groups), and were probed further at Stage III. At this stage group, one was manipulated by providing incentives (experimental group) and employees' responses in terms of safety motivation and performance were noticed.
    Results: It was observed that the experimental group's safety motivation and performance had improved (both for immediate and 1-month later performance). The results were further probed at Phase 3 (after 3 months), where it was found that the benefits of I/P programs were not long lasting and started replenishing.
    Conclusion: Findings of the study helped researchers conclude that safety incentives have only short-term influence on safety outcomes, while a long-term and permanent solution should be found.

    Abstract Background: Distal radius fracture is one of the most common injuries presented to emergency department and can be presented in any age group. In young patients the most common cause is Road Traffic Accident (RTA), while old patient history of fall is the most common cause. Different surgical options are available to treat this injury. This study aims to compare the outcome of volar buttress plate vs across wrist external fixator for Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) type C2/C3 fracture of the distal radius.
    Methods: A retrospective comparative study between July 2020 to June 2021 at Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital was done and a total of 50 patients who underwent surgical intervention for AO C2/C3 fracture of the distal Radius, were included. The follow-up period was 12 weeks. QuickDASH score was used to find out patient's functional outcomes. Functional outcome was analyzed between the two groups using Mann-Whitney U test, using SPSS version 21.
    Results: There was no significant statistical difference between the functional outcome of patients with distal radius fracture treated with across wrist external fixator vs volar buttress plate, in term of QuickDASH score. Furthermore, age and gender also were having no effect on functional outcome in our population.
    Conclusions: Across wrist external fixator is a reasonable option for AO C2/C3 type fractures of the distal radius with comparable results with volar buttress plate. It is the procedure of choice in high volume tertiary care hospitals like Gurki Trust Teaching hospital as it saves time, have similar functional outcome score, no need to re-open for removal of implant, less chances of tendon rupture as compared to volar buttress plate for distal radius fracture.
