The flexibility and relatively low cost of mobile devices make educational systems more accessible for learners and educators worldwide. When incorporated with the internet, it creates a better learning environment than the conventional classroom lecture. Many studies have been done to shed insight into the existing state of mobile learning (M-learning) studies.

Individuals may experience internal identity asymmetry when they feel misidentified and believe their colleagues do not recognize their work-related identities. This research examines the impact of internal identity asymmetry on their behavior and emotional outcomes at the workplace in Pakistan. Data was collected through a survey and received responses from 393 participants at different levels of management in various sectors of Pakistan.

Reaction of two equivalents of [Ln(dbm)(HO)] (Ln = Sm/Eu/Gd) with one equivalent of 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) led to the formation of rare polynuclear complexes of the type [Ln(dbm)(4,4'-bpy)] (dbm is the anion of 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione) instead of symmetrically bridged dinuclear complexes. The structure of the complexes has been established by the single crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) method and shows that the coordination sphere is composed of a LnON core (octacoordinated). Shape analysis further revealed that the geometry around Ln(III) is distorted square anti-prismatic with SHAPE value 0.

Two-dimensional (2D) "face-to-face" heterojunctions promote interfacial charge transfer and separation in composite photocatalysts. Here, we report an efficient 2D/2D step-scheme (S-scheme) photocatalyst composed of BiMoO/ZnVO (BMO/ZVO), which has been designed and prepared via the self-assembly of BMO and ZVO nanoflakes. The heterojunction with an optimized composition of 30% BMO/ZVO showed extended light absorption capacity and enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers.

Online communities provide facilities to share public opinions and or sentiments on a wide range of subjects, from routine topics to vital issues of critical interest. Nowadays, many higher education institutions (HEIs) recognize the value of students' sentiments and evaluate users' concerns for the successful adaptation of mobile learning applications (MLAs). While digital learning has been extensively studied previously, little has been known about why MLA is underutilized.

Mobile-based health (mHealth) systems are proving to be a popular alternative to the traditional visits to healthcare providers. They can also be useful and effective in fighting the spread of infectious diseases, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though young adults are the most prevalent mHealth user group, the relevant literature has overlooked their intention to invest in and use mHealth services.

Even though information and communication technology (ICT) is essential for everyday life and has gained considerable attention in education and other sectors, it also carries individual differences in its use and relevant skills. This systematic review aims to examine the gender differences in ICT use and skills for learning through technology. A comprehensive search of eight journal databases and a specific selection criterion was carried out to exclude articles that match our stated exclusion criteria.

Predicting the Coronavirus epidemic, popularly known as COVID-19, that has been explored more than 200 countries and already declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization is an invaluable task. This virus was first identified around December 2019, from central China, but later spread in the rest of the world. To ensure better healthcare service management, an accurate prediction of the uncertain gruesomeness is situational demand.

While literature reveals the positive perception of e-Learning, this study examined and assessed the impact of e-Learning crack-up perceptions on psychological distress among college students during COVID-19 pandemic. Kessler psychological distress scale (10) was used to evaluate stress symptoms. This study first conducted an online focus group discussion (OFGD) with the target population to develop the scale of "e-Learning crack-up" and "fear of academic year loss".

Objectives: Mobile health (m-Health) technologies may provide an appropriate follow-up support service for patient groups with post-treatment conditions. While previous studies have introduced m-Health methods for patient care, a smart system that may provide follow-up communication and decision support remains limited to the management of a few specific types of diseases. This paper introduces an m-Health solution in the current climate of increased demand for electronic information exchange.

Hypersensitivity reactions are commonly encountered with drugs such as beta lactams, sulphonamides, allopurinol etc., Corticosteroids are frequently employed in the treatment of drug induced allergic reactions. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that a corticosteroid itself may cause such a reaction as an adverse effect.

A male child of four years is reported with Williams-Beuren Syndrome (WBS). It was not recognized initially when he presented with odd facies and developmental delay since early infancy. The diagnosis was established later when he developed hypertensive encephalopathy secondary to bilateral renal artery stenosis, a congenital anomaly that must be looked for in such patients.

Abdominal epilepsy.

J Coll Physicians Surg Pak

June 2004

Abdominal epilepsy (AE) is a rather uncommon clinical entity in children that might create diagnostic confusion especially when it lacks the typical manifestations of an epileptic seizure. We report the case of a young boy having apparently unexplained episodes of paroxysmal abdominal symptoms with no other suggestion of an underlying epileptic disorder. The case also explains how the clinical presentation can be misleading unless a high index of suspicion is maintained to reach the ultimate diagnosis.
