Abstract

Caries is the result of the interaction between tooth surface, microorganisms, and food. The first permanent molar (FPM) is known as the key tooth in the oral cavity and erupts around the age of 6 years. Objective: To determine the frequency of caries in the FPMs in young children and analyze factors associated with FPM caries. Methods: We recruited 350 subjects from different public and private sector schools of Multan District, Punjab, Pakistan, for this cross-sectional study. A predesigned questionnaire was used to collect data from eligible respondents. Dental caries status was assessed visually using a dental mirror, dental explorer, and light. Results: Of the 350 students, 108 were found to be affected with caries, whereas the remaining 242 were caries-free. Among the 108 affected students, 36 were male and 72 were female, and 80 were aged 7–9 years; the remaining 28 students were 10–12 years. Conclusion: Caries frequency varied by parent’s educational level, parent’s socioeconomic status, and also by the age and gender of the child.

Abstract

Background: In developing countries like Pakistan, it is essential for health care professionals to have comprehensive knowledge regarding cervical cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional self-administered paper-based questionnaire was administered to patients from 2016 to 2018. This study included 200 females who attended the gynecological OPD of Lady Willingdon Hospital Lahore, Punjab. We evaluated cervical cancer knowledge, screening, prevention, and acceptance towards the vaccination. Data entry and analysis were performed using SPSS version 20. Results: The perception and knowledge related to cervical cancer (28%), screening (3%), prevention (3%), and vaccination (1%) among the females were poor, but a positive attitude was observed towards cervical cancer screening, vaccination, and awareness programs. An extreme lack of knowledge was observed regarding the risk factors associated with cervical cancer and the availability of the cervical cancer vaccine (99%). A significant association (p > 0.005) was noted among the level of education and awareness of cervical cancer, its mode of transmission, and screening tests. Conclusion: The knowledge and perception of cervical cancer and its vaccine among the females of Punjab, Pakistan were inadequate. Efforts should be made to prevent and control cervical cancer in Pakistan by establishing proper strategies, such as health education programs through health care providers and media support.

Abstract

Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most prevalent hormonal disorder in females, is characterized by low levels of progesterone, which causes increased estrogen levels leading to production of various anti and auto-antibodies. This study aimed to estimate and compare levels of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG), and anti-islet cell antibodies (anti-ICAb) in patients with PCOS and healthy controls. Methods: The present comparative study included 82 subjects divided into two groups with 41 individuals in each group. Group I included healthy subjects, while Group II included patients diagnosed with PCOS. Blood samples were collected to determine serum levels of ANA, anti-TPO, anti-TG, and anti-ICAb using commercially available ELISA kits. Data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.0. Results: Two (4.8%) subjects in Group II had ANA, but none of the other healthy individuals had these auto-antibodies. Levels of anti-TPO were higher in Group II (6.01 IU/ml) than in Group I (5.98 IU/ml). Levels of anti-TG and anti-ICAb were higher in Group I (19.86 and 32.49 IU/ml, respectively) than in Group II (19.78 and 26.07 IU/ml, respectively). Conclusion: Levels of ANA and anti-TPO were higher in patients with PCOS than in controls. By contrast, levels of anti-TG and anti-ICAb were higher in controls than in patients with PCOS.

Abstract

The researchers investigate Pakistani Premier Imran Khan’s (IK) addresses to the nation concerning awareness about the causes, effects, precautions, and solutions of the Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19). Till the date, experts are not sure whether the vaccine will get developed or would we have to live with this as we did with HIV or Dengue. Consequently, leaders would need to address their nations, focusing specifically on precautions. The present research employs Aristotle’s persuasive and rhetorical devices, integrating them with Socio-Political Discourse Analysis (SPDA), to understand the social and political convincing style employed by the premiere. The researchers analyzed the data employing a qualitative approach. There are reliable findings to suggest that IK has used stable linguistic features to persuade the minds of the people, convincing them to follow the precautionary measures as ‘the only cure.’ The defending arguments about semi-lockdown or smart-lockdown were well-defined persuading the individuals; for instance, he suggested the smart-lockdown during his first address and faced criticism from the opposition. Later, the opposition and the world appreciated the policy of IK, the Premier of Pakistan, even being a developing country in the sight of the world. After one month of the first patient of the corona case reported in China, the policy of smart-lockdown was followed by most of the states fighting against COVID-19. Moreover, The Premier successfully persuaded the international financial organizations – IMF, World Bank, Development Banks, convincing them to waive off the pending payments of developing countries for the upcoming year.Keywords: COVID19, Persuasion, Socio-Political Discourse Analysis, Speeches, Linguistic Features

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and compare the financial stability of Pakistani banks covering a timeframe of 5 years from 2012 to 2016. This study employs the financial soundness indicators of the International Monetary Funds and State Bank of Pakistan and the z-score index. The comparative analysis through average scores is performed using 3 indicators of financial stability namely Z-Score, Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and Equity to Total Assets Ratio. The findings of the research reveal that (i) conventional banks are more financially stable than Islamic banks; (ii) large conventional banks are more financially stable than large Islamic banks; (iii) small Islamic banks are less stable than small conventional bank. The implication of this paper is that conventional banks have the potential of absorbing financial stability shock as compare to Islamic banks on the basis of stated financial soundness indicators and Z-Score specifically.DOI: 10.15408/aiq.v10i2.6500

Abstract

Stunting merupakan masalah gizi kronis yang masih menjadi tantangan serius di Indonesia, termasuk di Desa Wonoayu, Kabupaten Sidoarjo, yang memiliki prevalensi cukup tinggi. Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi mitra adalah rendahnya kesadaran masyarakat terhadap pentingnya pemantauan tumbuh kembang anak serta terbatasnya akses layanan kesehatan, sehingga deteksi dini stunting belum berjalan optimal. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan mengembangkan dan menerapkan platform telediagnosis interaktif berbasis aplikasi Sipelita yang terintegrasi dengan sistem telemedicine sebagai solusi peningkatan akses layanan kesehatan dan deteksi dini stunting di tingkat posyandu. Metode pelaksanaan dilakukan melalui pendekatan partisipatif, kolaboratif, dan edukatif yang meliputi pengembangan aplikasi, sosialisasi, serta pelatihan kepada kader posyandu, bidan desa, dan ibu balita. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi Sipelita mampu memfasilitasi pencatatan data kesehatan balita, menganalisis status gizi menggunakan grafik z-score, serta memberikan kesimpulan otomatis. Workshop yang diikuti oleh 42 peserta menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan sebesar 32% dari rata-rata 58,3 menjadi 77,1, dengan 87% peserta menyatakan puas dan 92% siap mengimplementasikan aplikasi dalam kegiatan posyandu. Kegiatan ini berdampak positif terhadap peningkatan kapasitas kader kesehatan serta efektivitas deteksi dini stunting. Ke depan, aplikasi akan dikembangkan dengan memperluas cakupan pengguna, integrasi dengan sistem informasi kesehatan daerah, serta evaluasi jangka panjang terhadap penurunan angka stunting.

Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often face barriers to business growth due to limited access to capital and the increasing reliance on high-interest online lending. This study aims to examine the implementation and impact of a waqf-based halal financing program designed to provide sustainable and interest-free capital for SMEs. The program represents a collaboration between YEWI and Alma Ata University through the GoJariyah platform, which promotes a fair and inclusive sharia-based financial ecosystem. The program was implemented from July 2024 to August 2025 in Yogyakarta using a community-based program design that included needs mapping, outreach, transparent beneficiary selection, and periodic evaluation supported by digital technology and partnerships with local Islamic financial institutions. Through this program, a total of IDR 300 million in productive waqf funds was distributed to 30 selected SMEs. The first year of implementation demonstrated positive outcomes. Beneficiary SMEs experienced an average revenue increase of 10–15%, with several businesses expanding production capacity and creating new employment opportunities. In addition to financial access, participating SMEs also showed improvements in business management practices, readiness for halal certification, and stronger integration into the local halal economic ecosystem. Overall, the findings indicate that waqf-based financing can serve as a practical and impactful model for supporting SME development. The GoJariyah program demonstrates the potential of productive waqf to strengthen small business resilience, reduce dependence on high-interest loans, and contribute to the development of the halal economy.
