This article suggests a fourth-order numerical approach for solving ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are both linear and nonlinear. The suggested scheme is an explicit predictor-corrector scheme. For linear ODE, the proposed numerical scheme's stability area is discovered.

Atrazine, a herbicide, is used for eradication of broad-leaved herbs in corn crop; and ochratoxins, particularly ochratoxin A (OTA), are major pollutants of poultry diet. Existence of both of these hazardous chemicals as residues is obvious as elucidated by various epidemiological findings. The present study was designed to investigate toxicopathological, serum biochemical and immunological alterations incurred by atrazine alone and/or, in combination with OTA in broilers.

In this contribution, a first-order time scheme is proposed for finding solutions to partial differential equations (PDEs). A mathematical model of the COVID-19 epidemic is modified where the recovery rate of exposed individuals is also considered. The linear stability of the equilibrium states for the modified COVID-19 model is given by finding its Jacobian and applying Routh-Hurwitz criteria on characteristic polynomial.

An explicit unconditionally stable scheme is proposed for solving time-dependent partial differential equations. The application of the proposed scheme is given to solve the COVID-19 epidemic model. This scheme is first-order accurate in time and second-order accurate in space and provides the conditions to get a positive solution for the considered type of epidemic model.

Pakistan has one of the highest prevalences of child malnutrition as compared to other developing countries. This narrative review was accomplished to examine the published empirical literature on children’s nutritional status in Pakistan. The objectives of this review were to know about the methodological approaches used in previous studies, to assess the overall situation of childhood malnutrition, and to identify the areas that have not yet been studied.
