Victims of rape sometimes suffer from being blamed for their assault. The present study aimed to investigate whether hostile sexism, benevolent sexism influence acceptance of rape myths. The sample comprised of 240 university students recruited from Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Demographic information sheet, Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale (IRMA) [24], Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI) [13] and scales were used for assessment. Results from Bivariate Correlation analysis showed that, Hostile sexism and subscales of benevolent sexist beliefs are positively correlated with rape myths. Subscales of Ambivalent Sexism (Hostile sexism, Paternalism, Heterosexuality and Gender differentiation) positively predicted subscales of Rape myths acceptance (she asked for it, it wasn’t really rape, he didn’t mean to and she lied). Results further showed that males had higher acceptance with Rape Myths and Ambivalent Sexism.

Background: A major challenge to antiretroviral therapy is poor adherence by the patients due to the multiplicity of drugs involved. For effective outcome of therapy, a 95% adherence is advocated in patients on ARV drugs. Objectives: Study sought to evaluate the factors that affect the adherence to their prescribed medications by people living with HIV (PLWHIV) in the capital city of Port Harcourt, South-South, Nigeria. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional study using pretested questionnaire was used to collect information on adherence among HIV adult patients. Socio-demographic factors were evaluated as possible factors associated with adherence. Reasons for missing medications were also obtained and described. Results: Participants comprised of 109 (31.8%) males and 231 (67.3%) females (mean age 37.3 ± 8.9) years. Study revealed a poor level (58%) of adherence among participants. Patient factors (forgetfulness, personal travels and work schedule), were major reasons given for missing their medications. Others are economic (lack of transport, poverty) and socio-cultural (stigma, spiritual) factors. Social support in the form of treatment supporter was found to be a significant (p<0.05) positive influencing factor to adherence by patients as well as disclosure of status to spouse. Conclusion: Strategies to improve adherence should be focused on the ways to address the negative influencing factors. Improved awareness in terms of counselling, education and orientation of the patients is strongly advocated. Social support systems (family, community, treatment supporter) and societal acceptance of PLWHIV should be put in place to encourage adherence.

Corona virus pandemic has certainly become one of the most challenging diseases ever to come to light in the history of humankind affecting from individual level to national level worldwide affecting every aspect of life. To decrease the mortality rate in coronavirus patients, the most significant role is played by early interventions when the virus is in its initial stages. To achieve this, various imaging techniques are employed out of which vascular ultrasonography is one of the most important ones. Although a little light has been shed so far on the mechanisms regarding the coagulopathies caused by Corona virus, it is without a doubt one of the hottest topics in the scientific community these days. The virus enters the body by interacting with angiotensin converting enzyme receptors which are present in different areas of the body like lungs, heart, arteries, and kidneys. The virus Interacts with endothelial cells becoming a cause for their activation and consequently initiating the coagulation system. Arterial thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis-induced coagulopathy, etc. are the complications caused by the virus and are the reason for mortality in severe cases of coronavirus. Vascular ultrasonography enables us to stop the virus in its tracks long before it can become fatal, ultimately helping us in decreasing the mortality rate significantly.

The age of Bara-Bhyuian (1576-1612) or reign of the twelve landlords of the East region of Bengal is a famous chapter in Bangladesh's history. According to the historical investigation of Abdul Karim, the article aims at exploring about forming of a series of military resistance and struggle of Bara-Bhyuian against Mughal imperial power those newly emerged from northern India and subsequently captured their jurisdiction all over the Indian subcontinent along with Bengal territory. Historically it was a fact that the Twelve Zamindars waged an armed struggle for many years to keep their homeland free from colonial imperialist power. Unfortunately, the glorious chapter of this Bara-Bhuiyans was not highlighted properly by the historians for a long time. Even their identity and subjugated areas were not explored and recognized since many centuries rather than the time been obscured and uncovered in Bengal by either native or alien scholars. On the contrary, historians didn’t concentrate the time accordingly what the period deserves from the scholars. So, Abdul Karim was the pioneer for the first time among historians who took the chapter as one of the vital focal place of Bengal history during Mughal expansion. Thus, the paper seeks to prove that what contribution marked by Abdul Karim about Bara-Bhuiyans in the sacrifices and struggles they waged to liberate their independent motherland that have inspired every freedom struggle so far.

Stem cells are special kind of cell from an embryo, foetus or adult, capable of renewing itself under certain conditions and of becoming specialised cells that make up the different tissues and organs of the body. They may be isolated from embryos, umbilical cords and adult tissues. Stem cells from embryos can treat many diseases but they are extremely dangerous and unpredictable. However, this power and versatility of these cells to produce different cell types has medical applications in cell therapies. Embryonic stem cell are harvested but this requires the destruction of human embryos, which is considered immoral and unethical, thus becoming contentious and giving rise to ethical controversies. However, stem cells isolated from adult tissues and created from skin cells addresses these issues. Most recently, they have been produced by reprogramming skin cells, an advance revolutionizing this field. Stem cell therapies have great potential. Stem cells provide an ideal model for studying the development of an organism and have the ability to replace damaged cells in the body that would otherwise not be replenished.
