    Abstract Research on lead halide perovskites has demonstrated that they are one of the potential materials for optoelectronic and bio-related applications owing to their promising optical and electronic properties. However, their poor chemical stability in ambient environments is a critical factor that affects their practical applications. Silica is known for its excellent environmental/chemical stability and good optical properties. Therefore, SiO

    Abstract This study sought to explore high school students' interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related disciplines and careers in the context of Qatar. Quantitative data was collected using a survey of 1492 high school students in grades 11-12. The normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk test and Kolmogorov Smirnov test) revealed the non-normal distribution of data, leading to employing non-parametric analyses, including Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H, and logistic regression. Results indicated that whereas students' interest in mathematics and science subjects was aligned with their likelihood to pursue STEM careers, however, their interest in engineering and technology doesn't line up with their STEM career aspirations. The findings also revealed the variability of students' STEM interests across gender and nationality. In general, female students exhibited higher STEM interests than their male counterparts, while specially expatriates were more inclined toward STEM than Qatari nationals. Overall, these findings postulate the need to improve the exposure of males in general and Qatari nationals specifically to STEM fields of study, particularly the subjects of engineering and technology, to meet the goals of Qatar's National Vision 2030.

    Abstract This work examines the physics of a non-invasive multi-functional elastic thin-film graphite flake-isoprene sulfone composite sensor. The strain design and electrical characterization of the stretching force, acceleration, and temperature were performed. The rub-in technique was used to fabricate graphite flakes and isoprene sulfone into sensors, which were then analyzed for their morphology using methods such as SEM, AFM, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to examine the device's surface and structure. Sensor impedance was measured from DC to 200 kHz at up to 20 gf, 20 m/s

    Abstract Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) represent a big source of data not only for endemic diseases but also for neoplasms. Data is the fuel which drives the modern era. Data when stored in digital form can be used for constructing disease models, analyzing disease trends and predicting disease outcomes in various demographic regions of the world. Most labs in developing countries don't have resources such as whole slide scanners or digital microscopes. Owing to severe financial constraints and lack of resources, they don't have the capability to handle large amounts of data. Due to these issues, precious data cannot be saved and utilized properly. However, digital techniques can be adopted even in low resource settings with significant financial constraints. In this review article, we suggest some of the options available to pathologists in developing countries which can enable them to start their digital journey and move forward despite resource-poor health system.

    Abstract Honey bee colony nutritional dynamics depend on the availability of floral resources throughout a countryside with varying forage circumstances. Few studies quantify the queen fecundity and colony performance about certain management approaches on a broad scale. The present study was conducted to investigate the queen bee fecundity and various colony performance parameters in response to different nutritional practices, i.e., Group-I, supplied with sucrose solution (1:1; w/v), Group-II, provided with locally available commercial pollen substitute, Group-III, supplied with both sucrose solution + locally available commercial pollen substitute, and Group-IV without any sugar solution and pollen substitute. Our results demonstrated that eggs laid by queen bees were significantly higher (1241.83 ± 46.24) in Group-III than in other groups over the time of observations. Similarly, a significant difference was noticed in the mean sealed worker brood area and honey store area between the different groups of management practices. Both, the max mean sealed worker brood area (2153.53 ± 29.18 cm

    Abstract To describe in chronological detail Pakistan’s decades long battle against poliovirus and evaluate the multiple factors impacting it.Pakistan’s fight is documented through various published research articles and reports on Pakistan’s progress in eradication of polio published by international agencies involved in elimination of poliovirus worldwide. The socioeconomic, religious, and political factors, violent religious militancy, conspiracy theories resulting in vaccine refusals are documented in detail emphasizing the ups and downs in the fight at different times since 1994 to present. Pakistan and Afghanistan are the only two countries in the world reporting cases caused by wild polio virus type 1 (WPV1) since 2017 and the only two countries that have never stopped the transmission of WPV1 Pakistan needs to work on a war footing to eliminate the disease. The need to act urgently is now being increasingly recognized by the Pakistani Government.Many difficulties still remain. Pakistan has reached a critical stage in the fight against polio. The world will not accept any further delay or complacency as there is apprehension around the world that Pakistan may “export” polio to other countries and undermine the worldwide success in eradicating polio.

    Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most contagious diseases that has a greater mortality rate than HIV/AIDS and the cases of TB are feared to rise as a repercussion of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pharmaceutical industry is constantly looking for ways to improve drug design processes in order to combat the growth of infections and cure newly identified syndromes or genetically based dysfunctions with the help of QSPR models. QSPR models are mathematical tools that establish relationships between a molecular structure and its physicochemical attributes using structural properties. Topological indices are such properties that are generated from the molecular graph without any empirically derived measurements. This work focuses on developing a QSPR model using distance-based topological indices for anti-tuberculosis medications and their diverse physicochemical features.
