    Abstract This research paper answers the question that how shall the students of software engineering undergraduate courses form teams for the capstone projects that can be cohesive too. In this research, 128 criteria for team formation are proposed for building teams for self-managing software engineering capstone projects. A comparison is also conducted to ascertain the level of cohesion among those teams that were formed using the proposed criteria and those that were not formed using the proposed criteria. The criteria were identified through a combination of qualitative questionnaire survey targeted at the graduated students of the past batches of Computer Science degree program and through synthesizing the literature on engineering capstone project teams identified under the guidance of KSAO framework for software engineering students. To check the effectiveness of the criteria, 100 students were asked to form the teams using the proposed criteria and other 100 students formed the teams without the proposed criteria. Those students that had used the proposed criteria for building teams and those that had formed teams without using the proposed criteria were asked to fill the modified Group Environment Questionnaire to ascertain the level of cohesion among the team members. The results were analyzed qualitatively and through descriptive quantification. The results show that the level of cohesion in teams that were formed using the proposed team building criteria was higher. There was a need for team building criteria in the literature on software engineering capstone project teams that conforms to a conceptual, theoretical framework; this gap is now filled through this research. This paper may also serve as a literature review paper for some readers.

    Abstract Financial inclusion is critical element of economic growth as it makes financial services available to all facets of society and hence has an influence on environmental quality. Using data from 2004 to 2019, this research evaluates the asymmetric nexus between financial inclusion and environmental quality in the top-10 polluted nations (China, India, Russia, USA, Japan, Iran, Germany, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Indonesia). Previous research used panel data approaches, which resulted in usual findings of the connection between financial inclusion and environmental quality, even with the reality that numerous nations did not show such a linkage individually. This research, conversely, utilizes an exclusive method 'Quantile-on-Quantile (QQ)', which permits us to probe each nation distinctly to provide multilateral yet country-specific information about the relation between the variables. The estimations demonstrate that financial inclusion degrades environmental quality in 7 out of the 10 economies at many quantiles of data distribution. Additionally, the outcomes reveal that the degree of asymmetry between financial inclusion and carbon emissions differs by nation, stressing the need of governments giving particular attention while implementing policies related to financial inclusion and a sustainable environment.

    Abstract The global outbreak of COVID-19 caused serious threats to public health and economic growth all around the world, but on the other hand, the betterment of the environment took place. How pandemics' health uncertainty will affect environmental quality is a crucial matter to address. The paper investigates the asymmetric association between pandemics-related health uncertainty and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in the top emitter European Union economies (Italy, Germany, France, Poland, Netherlands, Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, Romania, and Greece). Employing data from 1996 to 2019, a unique approach called 'Quantile-on-Quantile', is adopted to evaluate the influence of various quantiles of the health uncertainty on GHG emissions. According to estimates, health uncertainty enhances environmental quality by minimizing GHG in most of our chosen nations at certain quantiles of data, which makes pandemics a blessing in disguise for environmental quality. Additionally, the estimations indicate that the grades of asymmetry between our variables varies by locality, accentuating the requisite for authorities to give specific consideration while executing health uncertainty and environmental quality policies.

    Abstract This qualitative study focuses on the socio-emotional and psychological aspects of children with learning disabilities starting from an early age. It includes the perception and behaviour of caretakers (parents and teachers). The paper contains first-hand information collected through semi-structured interviews of 12 parents who are also primary school teachers at a public school in Taluka Matli, rural Sindh, Pakistan. The study concludes that teachers’ knowledge regarding learning disabilities is minimal, and they lack professional training to deal with such students. It also provides evidence that teachers and parents practice corporal punishment, which ultimately affects the lives of children with learning disabilities. The study presents a case study of a child with learning disorders on his father’s account, which highlights other aspects of a learning disorder. This paper also focuses on the possible adverse effects of parental behaviour in Pakistani society concerning corporal punishment as social behaviour. It may help parents and teachers to identify the characteristics of learning disabilities like dyslexia or ADHD from a very early stage of childhood.

    Abstract The effect of quality institutions on growth-environmental nexus is a generally ignored topic, especially in South Asia economies affiliated with the belt and road initiatives (BRIs). To fill this gap, we have examined the effect of BRI policy, economic freedom (EF), and institutional quality (IQ) on growth-environmental nexus in the South Asian region from 1984 to 2019. We have used CO₂ emission as a proxy for the environment in this study. To prevent variable bias, we also included energy consumption (EN) and trade openness (TO) as key factors in the model. To solve the problem of cross-sectional dependence, we have used the second-generational unit root test. The results of unit root tests indicate that the variable IQ is stationary at the level and other variables are stationary at the first difference. Furthermore, all of the variables are cointegrated, according to the panel cointegration test. Thus, we have used the panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method to estimate the long-run (LR) and short-run (SR) impact of response factors on economic growth. Furthermore, this research utilized the Granger causality test among the selected variables to inquire into the causalities. The basic findings are as follows: (i) A significantly positive interaction variable (CO₂IQ) among CO₂ and IQ suggests that effective and fair political institutions are critical for increasing economic development and decreasing CO₂ emissions simultaneously. (ii) Economic growth is invigorated by energy consumption, trade, economic freedom, and institutional quality. (iii) Since 2013, more significant economic growth has been stimulated by BRI policy in BRI-associated countries; thus, both the SR and LR results are significantly positive. Hence, it is essential to improve the quality of institutions to reduce carbon emissions during economic growth.

    Abstract The reliability of a power system is considered as a critical requirement in planning and operating the system due to the increasing demand for more reliable service with a lower frequency and duration of interruption. Hence, reliability is also considered as a major challenge in the development of future power systems as they become more advanced and complex, making the accuracy of the reliability assessment dependent on several factors such as supply and load modeling. Recent studies on power systems’ reliability and stability have focused on load modeling, where loads are either assumed to be static or dynamic, by introducing significant constraints. However, the emergence of new types of loads necessitates the development of models that can incorporate them with accuracy, as this would facilitate their effective use in flow and stability simulation studies, as well as reliability analyses. In this study, dynamic loads are modeled using a feed-forward neural network where a simulation test bed is developed in MATLAB/Simulink to generate operating data used during training and validating of the neural network model. Subsequently, Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) software is used to verify the effect of load modeling on power system reliability assessment platform. Bus 2 of Roy Billinton Test System (RBTS) is employed as a case study to investigate the sensitivity of the reliability indices, such as System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), on the load modeling technique with mixed loads (dynamics and statics).

    Abstract Background. To study the value of a numerical criteria in the management of brain abscess. Methods. All Patients with brain abscess were included prospectively in this study. Decision regarding management was made on the basis of a quantified numerical criteria , based on Glasgow Coma Scale, focal neurological deficit, radiological findings and Co morbidities . According to the criteria management was divided into three groups ,i.e., urgent intervention (Burr hole and aspiration), elective surgery on next available list (total excision) and conservative treatment (empirically) Results: Thirty eight patients were studied during 16 months. According to the criteria , 8 patients were treated by burr hole in emergency, 10 patients were treated by total excision, 18 patients were treated by burr hole plus total excision and 2 patients did not undergo surgical intervention. Thirty (78.94%) cases out of 38 improved , 4 patients with hemiparesis did not improve (10.52%).Complications developed in 7 (18.42%). Four cases died (10.52%). There was no difference in the decision regarding mode of surgery based on criteria between the resident and senior consultants. Conclusion. Numerical criteria provide a reasonably useful and uniform guideline for management of brain abscesses.

    Abstract Energy poverty alleviation has emerged as a critical economic problem in recent years. Given the enormous number of people without essential energy services, a crucial concern is whether providing universal access to electrification will considerably affect environmental quality. The present research evaluates the asymmetric energy poverty-environmental quality nexus in South Asian economies. Previous works adopted panel data techniques, resulting in distinctive conclusions about the energy poverty-environmental quality nexus, irrespective of the truth that several nations could not establish such a correlation separately. This research, conversely, applies the Quantile-on-Quantile methodology, which enables independent determinations of time-series interconnection in all nations to offer worldwide yet economy-particular evidence concerning the relationship between the variables. The results indicate that energy poverty degrades environmental quality in most selected economies at particular data distribution quantiles. Moreover, the findings disclose that the ranks of asymmetries between the variables change by country, emphasizing the requirement of governments to take special care when accepting policies linked to energy poverty and environmental quality.
