The increasing dependence of South Asian countries on international remittances (IRM) and international tourism development (ITR) in the presence of political uncertainties has attracted scholars' attention. Although the largest receiver of IRM, South Asia fails to channel these funds to the tourism industry, which continues to operate below its potential. This study estimates the impact of IRM, political stability (PS), and their interaction with foreign direct investment (FDI) and relative price (RP) on ITR in South Asia. We used a balanced panel dataset of six South Asian countries from 1996 to 2020. We applied the pooled ordinary least squares (POLS), fixed effects (FE), feasible generalized least squares (FGLS), and Prais-Winsten regression with panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE), to estimate the results. The study discovered quite interesting and surprising results between IRM and ITR. The results suggest a statistically significant negative impact of IRM on ITR in South Asia, implying that the recipients of IRM tend to spend most of it on their basic level consumption needs and do not have incentives to save and invest. Further, the results suggest that PS positively moderates the relationship between IRM and ITR, suggesting that IRM will be channelized to the tourism sector if domestic investors expect low political risks in the region. In addition, the results indicate that PS and FDI have a statistically significant positive effect on ITR in South Asia. Moreover, RP has a negative and significant impact on ITR, implying that international tourists prefer cheaper destinations. This study provides crucial implications for South Asian economies. First, effective public policies are specifically designed for channelling IRM and FDI, focusing on enhancing the tourism industry's infrastructure. Second, PS is necessary for ITR and domestic investors to invest IRM in the tourism sector. Thus, policymakers must consider political factors while designing tourism policies and strategies. Third, the findings highlight the significance of price competitiveness for developing the tourism industry. Hence, we argue that policymakers should implement effective economic policies to stabilize regional prices to attract international tourists.

Data on two deceased individuals with COVID-19 and comorbidities such as hepatitis C, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension are discussed. Changes in laboratory signatures with impact on COVID-19 severity in both cases indicate the need for extensive monitoring of comorbid individuals to reduce morbidity and mortality.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique measures antigens, antibodies, and protein reactions in biological samples by enzymatic reactions. The chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technique determines sample concentrations based on the intensity of the light emitted by a chemical and biological reaction. This review provides an overview to understand the ELSIA and CLIA methods with their types and comparison. ELISA and CLIA methods were compared based on previous literature studies. In conclusion, CLIA is found highly sensitive, specific, and rapid, as compared to ELISA, but CLIA is an expensive method as compared to ELISA.

The aim of this article was to investigate the effects of Distributive Justice on Teaching Faculty Job Satisfaction in higher educational institutions in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, specifically Bacha Khan University, University of Malakand, and University of Swat. The study was quantitative in nature, and a questionnaire was employed as a data collection tool to gather primary information from a sample size of 217 respondents selected using a proportional allocation approach. The study found a significant (P≤0.05) relationship between teacher satisfaction and assumptions such as unjust award distribution, teachers not receiving rewards based on performance, and their behaviors being dependent on administrative fairness. Furthermore, unfair reward distribution increases the likelihood of turnover among university teachers. In light of the study's findings, the Government and administration should take proactive measures to provide better working conditions for employees in order to regain their trust. Such measures should include increasing collaboration with teachers, investigating benefits for teachers, fostering stronger relationships in the workplace, and encouraging effective discussion which can enhance and promote an exchange of ideas between administration and faculty.

The residents of remote areas in developing countries mostly rely on traditional plants to curedifferent ailments. Berberis royleana is a rare species among the genus Berberis whichcommonly comprises 500 species distributed in Nepal, Afghanistan, Siberia, and other parts ofthe world. Berberis are used to make herbal medication to fight against infections, oculartrachoma, AIDS, and diarrhea. The current study was carried out to explore the in vitroinsecticidal activity of B. royleana in various extracts by direct contact application processagainst the insect Callosobruchus maculatus. The maximum mortality rate of 60% was recordedby water fraction, whereas methanolic fraction had 50% mortality, n-Hexane had 40% mortality,while ethyl acetate and chloroform both had 30% mortality at 72 hours. Thus, this studyindicated that from the medicinal point of view this specie is very significant, with a greatpotential for insecticidal activities against C. maculatus. It is further suggested that B. royleanacould be used as a good insecticidal agent against dengue and malarial vectors. In addition, theside effects like toxicity could be addressed to avoid any mishaps.
