    Prediction of UPSR Result system is one of application in predicts the grades of students in the future. This system inspired from Immune System based on virus insert into body. The problem statement of this research is still using manual system such as Microsoft Excel to calculate the grade to predict of UPSR result, sometimes existing system have mistaken calculating and produce accurate grade and a longer time to determine each student’s grade. It consists of a combination of two examinations data taken from school in Kelantan. Prediction of UPSR Result system is a difficult task because it involves a large number of constraints. In Sekolah Kebangsaan Mentuan, school has problems on produce grade because it is using manually and takes time. This project highlights the prediction of UPSR Results system development using Artificial Immune System (AIS) at their school. This project focuses on three main objectives to investigate the UPSR Examination of data for prediction result, to study the Clonal Selection algorithm of the term and to develop the Prediction of UPSR Result System using Clonal Selection Algorithm. Clonal selection algorithm (CLONALG) in AIS is one of the proposed methods to be obtained in real UPSR. Evaluation conducted in this project has shown 79% accuracy. This project can be improved by making a comparative study on Artificial Immune System and other techniques or algorithms used to predict future grade students in UPSR examination. In order to improve the ability of the prototype of this project, some modification and enhancement could be done. It can be improved based on data set. This project also can be improved by make a comparative study on Artificial Immune System and other techniques or algorithms that can be used to solve predict actual UPSR grade. This would give a brief overview on which techniques or algorithms give better optimization and faster results in generating Prediction of UPSR result. Recommendations have been made based on the prototypes abilities and weaknesses so that an improvement can be done to give optimize output in generating Prediction of UPSR Result system

    The main purpose of this study was to investigate the views of students regarding motivational techniques used by the heads of secondary schools in Punjab.  The main objective of this study was to identify the students’ opinions about the performance of the teachers.  The nature of this study was descriptive, and the population constituted 748,124 students at the secondary level in Punjab. Fifteen out of 34 districts in the province of Punjab were randomly selected and cluster sampling was used in order to choose 300 secondary schools for the sample. Ten students from each school were included in this sample, and it was further divided equally into male and female as well as urban and rural. The questionnaires were the research instruments for data collection. The data were tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted by using the most suitable statistical tools like mean, standard deviation, standard error of the difference between means, and two-tailed t-test. On the basis of analysis, it was concluded that a greater part of students fairly agreed that their teachers appreciated the students’ performances openly, criticized them in a constructive way, maintained discipline in the class, chided the students on their mistakes, gave feedback in academic matter, solved their problem, and trusted in the students. &nbsp

    Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) disproportionately impact non-Hispanic blacks in the United States. Racial differences in sexual networks can contribute to these disparities. Racial residential segregation, the separation of racial groups in a residential context, is a community factor known to influence sexual networks and has been associated with negative health outcomes. Our objective was to examine the association between racial residential segregation (henceforth, referred to as segregation), risky sexual behavior, concurrent partnerships, and STI diagnoses among non-Hispanic blacks. Demographic, sexual behavior, and STI diagnosis data for non-Hispanic blacks 15–44 years of age were obtained from the 2006–2010 National Survey of Family Growth. Segregation and community poverty data were obtained from the U.S. Census. Five distinct dimensions measured segregation, each with a representative index. Multilevel logistic regressions were conducted to test how each of the five indices were associated with risky sexual behavior, concurrent partnerships, and STI diagnoses. Risky sexual behavior results showed 16.1% (n=588) of participants engaged in risky sexual behavior. The association was stronger for the absolute centralization (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.07; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.05 – 2.08) and relative concentration indices (aOR 2.05; 95% CI 2.03 – 2.07). This suggests risky sexual behavior is most strongly associated with segregation in neighborhoods with a high density of non-Hispanic blacks and accumulation of non-Hispanic blacks in an urban core. STI diagnosis results showed 7.4% (n=305) of participants reported a STI diagnosis, and segregation was associated with STI diagnosis. The association was strongest measured with the dissimilarity index (aOR 2.41; 95% CI 2.38 – 2.43) and stronger for males. Concurrent partnerships results showed 15.6% (n=645) of participants reported concurrent partnerships. Multilevel analyses showed segregation to be associated with concurrent partnerships with the association strongest measured with the dissimilarity index. Segregation acted as a risk and a protective factor with risky sexual behavior, concurrent partnerships, and STI diagnosis, depending on the segregation measure. Additional work is needed to understand the mechanisms of how specific segregation dimensions influence risky sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted infections

    After the creation and decoration of the universe, Allah Almighty created the Son of Adam for education and training and then for his education and training, Allah Almighty started the process of Prophethood that started from Adam and ended with the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and ended. This belief is called belief in the end of prophethood. This belief is the basis and roots of the religion of Islam and all other beliefs are established through the belief in the Prophethood,because the belief in Tawheed and the belief in afterlife is also based on the belief in the Prophethood. This unseen belief in the existence of Allah and the event of the Day of Judgment also indicates the belief in the Prophethood. For example, if Islam is a tree, then Aqeedah-e-Rasalat is its foundation and root. Similarly, Islam is a building and Aqeedah-e-Rasalat is its foundation. If the foundation is intact then the building is also intact. May Allah not be willing if the foundation is shaken or cut the root, no faith will survive. Similarly, all other beliefs are through the doctrine of the Prophethood. &nbsp

    The recent outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) has gripped the world with apprehension and has evoked a scare of epic proportion regarding its potential to spread and infect humans worldwide. As we are in the midst of an ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, scientists are struggling to understand how it resembles and differs from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) at the genomic and transcriptomic level. In a short time following the outbreak, it has been shown that, similar to SARS-CoV, COVID-19 virus exploits the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor to gain entry inside the cells. This finding raises the curiosity of investigating the expression of ACE2 in neurological tissue and determining the possible contribution of neurological tissue damage to the morbidity and mortality caused by COIVD-19. Here, we investigate the density of the expression levels of ACE2 in the CNS, the host-virus interaction and relate it to the pathogenesis and complications seen in the recent cases resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak. Also, we debate the need for a model for staging COVID-19 based on neurological tissue involvement
