Khaled Hosseini's women as modern archetypes: A study of obedient, resistant and empowered Afghan women.

This article focuses on Khaled Hosseini's use of the analogy of women as obedient, resistant, and empowered as modern archetypes who learn of the gendered oppression that works through their bodies. Khaled Hosseini, through his writings, lends voice and offers moral encouragement to women by crafting resistant, rebellious, empowered, and strong female characters. With theoretical support from Johnson's and Spivak's , this article traces how Hosseini interrogates the patriarchal hierarchies that encompass women's identity in Afghanistan.

Health Risk and Metal Contamination Assessment in Orange (Citrus aurantium) of Pakistan: a Multivariate Study.

Toxic metals (TMs) are serious health hazard and are known to accumulate in fruits, which are consumed by people, owning to their distinct sweet flavor and potential health benefits. In the present study, arsenic (As), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), and mercury (Hg) were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) techniques in orange samples from 11 farmhouses of Sargodha, Pakistan. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a very useful analysis and data-reducing tool.

Behavior of Silica Nanoparticles Synthesized from Rice Husk Ash by the Sol-Gel Method as a Photocatalytic and Antibacterial Agent.

Computational Design of a Chimeric Vaccine against Using Pan-Genome and Reverse Vaccinology.

The swift emergence of antibiotic resistance (AR) in bacterial pathogens to make themselves adaptable to changing environments has become an alarming health issue. To prevent AR infection, many ways can be accomplished such as by decreasing the misuse of antibiotics in human and animal medicine. Among these AR bacterial species, is one of the etiological agents of intestinal infection in humans.

Futsal playing surface characteristics significantly affect perceived traction and change of direction performance among experienced futsal players.

We aimed to clarify the effect of different futsal playing surface structural properties on the resultant change of direction (COD) performance, perceived traction and frictional properties. Twenty experienced male university soccer players performed a COD slalom-course test and perceived traction evaluation on three different types of playing surfaces (area-elastic: AE, point-elastic no.1: PE1 and point-elastic no.

The emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial species is a major threat to public health and has resulted in high mortality as well as high health care costs. is one of the etiological agents of health care-associated infections. As no licensed vaccine is available against the pathogen herein, using reverse vaccinology, bioinformatics, and immunoinformatics approaches, a multi-epitope-based vaccine against was designed.

Design of a Novel Nanosensors Based on Green Synthesized CoFeO/Ca-Alginate Nanocomposite-Coated QCM for Rapid Detection of Pb(II) Ions.

Pb(II) is a significant contaminant that is known to have negative effects on both humans and animals. Recent industrial operations have exacerbated these consequences, and their release of several contaminants, including lead ions, has drawn attention to the potential effects on human health. Therefore, there is a lot of interest in the rapid, accurate, and selective detection of lead ions in various environmental samples.

Prognostic Abilities of Pre- and Post-Treatment Inflammatory Markers in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Stepwise Modelling.

Studies examining the importance of inflammatory markers before treatment as prognosticators of OSCC are available, but information on post-therapy inflammatory markers and their prognostic significance is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic abilities of pre- and post-treatment inflammatory markers in patients with OSCC. In this retrospective analysis, information on 151 OSCC patients' socio-demographic, clinico-pathological, recurrence, metastasis, and survival data were gathered from clinical records.

Determinants of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine willingness among people incarcerated in 3 Canadian federal prisons: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Maximizing uptake of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines among people in prison is essential in mitigating future outbreaks. We aimed to determine factors associated with willingness to receive SARS-CoV-2 vaccination before vaccine availability.

Methods: We chose 3 Canadian federal prisons based on their low uptake of influenza vaccines in 2019-2020.
