Impact Computation of electric and magnetic field on farmers working near high voltage transmission lines in Pakistan by developing software

In this revolutionized era, electricity has become an essential necessity of humans. People all over the world are concerned about the effects of HVTL (high voltage transmission lines) and their severe effects impacting on their health. Over the last two decades, developed countries have become increasingly concerned about an increase in electromagnetic fields, which poses health risks. The electromagnetic field emitted by HVTL will cause a low current to pass through the bodies. The electricity system produces low frequency electromagnetic field, which lead to the health hazards. The critical problem to those who are living near HVTL, therefore our fundamental task is to let them aware of the risk. Due to harmful exposures of electric and magnetic field, farmers working under HVTL or having their residences, suffering through severe effects in the form of different diseases. The main aim behind this research is to design GUI based software having two parts which helps to bring output of the electromagnetic field exposures with the help of various parameters includes different weather conditions affecting electric field, how people of different ages are being affected through it, identification of the regions need further protection by developing a proper mathematical model. Two approaches were used, one is to interface GUI with different sensors and second is user define function. On the basis of output EMF it will be able to find out the possible disease by using the data of WHO, ICNIRP and the data which is collected from surveys of different regions

Job Satisfaction Among Public and Private School Teachers

This paper compares job satisfaction of private and public school teachers in Peshawar. Sample comprised of sixty (N=60) teachers of both genders ranging in age from 25-50 years. Thirty (n=30) were public school teachers including fifteen (n=15 male) and fifteen (n=15) female teachers, thirty (n=30) private school teachers they included fifteen (n=15) male and fifteen (n=15) female teachers. The data was collected through non-probability sampling technique from Mardan city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. A questionnaire was constructed for the purpose of measuring Job satisfaction for teachers. The alpha reliability coefficient was significantly high, thus ensuring the reliability of the scale. The results showed that public teachers are more satisfied with their job as compared to teachers working in private schools. It was further revealed that there was no significant difference between male and female teachers working in public schools and private schools

Hypoglycemic, hypolippidemic and antioxidant effects of leaves methanolic extract of Baccaurea ramiflora

The present study was designed for investigating the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic and antioxidant activity of the leaves of B. ramiflora. Antioxidant potential was assayed by measuring the free radical scavenging activity using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Diabetes was induced in adult albino rats of both sexes by intra peritoneal (i.p) injection of alloxan (120 mg/kg). Methanolic extract of B. ramiflora leaves (200 mg/kg) was administered as a single dose per day to the diabetic rats for 14 days. The control group received distilled water for the same duration. Blood glucose levels and serum lipid profiles were measured in the diabetic and non-diabetic rats. The methanolic extract showed potent free radical scavenging activity with IC value of 23.83 (μg/ml). It produced substantial hypoglycemia and reduced the elevated blood glucose level in the diabetic rats towards normal and it was statistically highly significant (

Reproductive health related complications of spinal cord injury among patients at a specialized center in Bangladesh

Background: Our objective was to find out the reproductive health related complications among spinal cord injury patients. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted at the Center for the Rehabilitation of the Paralyzed (CRP) in Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh from August 2017 to July 2018. A total of 289 patients, both indoor and outdoor, with spinal cord injury were randomly selected. The study aimed to examine reproductive health complications associated with spinal cord injury. Data was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Results: Among 220 (76.1%) were male and 69 (23.9%) were female. In 15-35 (68.1% and 91.2%), 47 (68.1%) participants had menstruation problem. 42.1% had autonomic dysreflexia and 57.9% had UTI as pregnancy related complications. In sexual activity 52% had difficulties having intercourse, 20% had difficulties to reach orgasm and 28% had dry sex. In male participants after SCI 70.5% had erection problem and 78.6% had ejaculation problem. Participants who had erection problem, most of their neurological level was thoracic level 84.51% and in case of ejaculation also their neurological level was thoracic level 81.50%. Conclusions: Awareness of sexuality and reproductive health after SCI has grown among healthcare professionals and individuals with spinal cord injuries.
