A comprehensive review of 3D digital mapping-based automated rock discontinuity detection: emerging technologies, challenges and future prospects
Abstract Accurate detection and characterization of rock discontinuities are essential for rock slope stability assessment, tunnel excavation, rockfall hazard evaluation and rock mass classification. Conventional field methods, including geological compass measurements, scanline surveys and manual mapping, remain important but are limited by restricted spatial coverage, operator subjectivity, time consumption and safety risks in steep or inaccessible rock masses.

Assessing clinical knowledge of common medical emergencies, attitudes toward emergency medicine, and career perceptions among Pakistani medical students: a cross-sectional study
Background Emergency Medicine (EM) is a critical specialty focused on the rapid assessment and management of life-threatening conditions. EM faces significant challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where 90% of healthcare emergencies occur. In Pakistan, awareness of EM as a specialty and opportunities for formal exposure remain limited.
Mixed Convection Heat Transfer in Two-Phase Blood Flow of Dusty Fluid
1 Introduction The study of non-Newtonian fluids in fluid mechanics is more important than that of Newtonian fluids because of the complex interactions between stress and strain in non-Newtonian fluids. This complexity highlights their practical significance in various industrial and engineering applications, such as harnessing energy from geothermal regions, oil flow through porous rocks, filtration of particles from fluids, and penetration of medications through human skin.
A clinical safety study of Kerra formula capsules following oral administration in healthy volunteers
Abstract Background: Kerra Formula, derived from Tak-Ka-Si-La, an ancient Thai compilation, is composed of nine medicinal plants and used for its fever-reducing properties. It has been primarily employed to alleviate fever and was also used by some individuals in Thailand during COVID-19 infections. Moreover, a previous in vitro study indicated the potential of the Kerra Formula to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 main protease and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp).

It is challenging to detect hate speech in Low Resource Languages (LRLs) because of the absence of annotated data, the informality of its language structure, and the lack of standardized grammar. A good example of such a challenge is Roman Urdu which is broadly used by South Asians on social media and has a high variation while lacking contextually consistent spellings.

Computer Science > Cryptography and Security
Deepfake news refers to AI-generated (or AI ma-nipulated) multimedia content intentionally generated to deceive audiences by manipulating the facial expressions, or speech while maintaining the realistic appearance. The rapid progress of generative AI has made the synthesis of highly realistic fake videos and cloned voices widely accessible, posing a serious threat to the authenticity of digital news media.
Molecular mechanisms and multi-omics approaches in plant secondary metabolism: regulation, stress responses, and biotechnological applications
Plant secondary metabolites are not merely chemical curiosities; they are central mediators of ecological interactions, stress resilience, and human health. The staggering chemo-diversity encompassing alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds underpins the medicinal, nutraceutical, and agronomic value of countless plant species.
Motorcycle crash injury severity factors in Pakistan: Towards reliable traffic safety policies
ABSTRACT In low- and middle-income countries like Pakistan, motorcycle use has grown rapidly due to urban expansion and limited transport options. While motorcycles offer an affordable means of travel, the increase in their number is accompanied by a rise in serious and fatal crashes, creating significant road safety and public health concerns.

From Idea to Database: A Practical Guide to Database Design
A well-designed database makes everything downstream easier — queries are intuitive, the ORM doesn't fight you, and six months later you're not cursing past-you for shoving three concepts into one table. A bad one? Data inconsistencies, N+1 queries, and mysterious bugs where deleting one record breaks everything else. I spent my first year building apps without thinking about databases. I'd write APIs, mess with React, chase new frameworks — anything to avoid thinking about schemas.

December 9, 2025 By Muhammad Junaid KATHMANDU In a region grappling with entrenched patriarchy and widening gender disparities, stories of resistance often emerge from the most unexpected corners, a bustling auto stand in Chennai, a remote district in Balochistan, or a Dalit settlement in Khulna.
Seven lean years? Pakistan’s agricultural crisis revealed
And one day the king said, “I dreamt of seven fat cows eaten up by seven skinny ones; and seven green ears of grain and seven others dry. O chiefs! Tell me the meaning of my dream if you can interpret dreams.” The Qur’an, 12:43 The king’s troubling dream foretold years of famine ahead. Today, Pakistan’s Seventh Agricultural Census, released in 2025, delivers a warning of its own.

Outcomes of early rhythm control vs. rate control strategies for atrial fibrillation in late elderly patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Older age is a major non-modifiable risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). AF prevalence increases from ∼3% in those aged 65 years or older to ∼14% in those aged 80 years or older. Management of AF in the elderly presents significant challenges due to the complex interplay of comorbidities, elevated risks of stroke and bleeding, drug-drug interactions due to polypharmacy, and potential adverse effects of anti-arrhythmic drugs (AADs).
How "Vibe Coding" Is Changing the Role of Senior Devs
From Coder to AI Babysitter: How "Vibe Coding" Is Changing the Role of Senior Devs A few years ago, "pair programming" meant sitting with another human, debating logic, and polishing functions together. Today, many developers joke that they've traded that partner for an unpredictable AI assistant. The rise of "vibe coding"-letting AI generate large chunks of code, then adjusting until it "feels right"-is transforming how projects get built.

Beyond the battlefield: How will the Israel-Iran war impact environment?
June 14, 2025 Muhammad Junaid While the devastating impact of war on human lives is clear, its toll on the environment is often overlooked. Wars not only cause immediate destruction but also damage ecosystems, exhaust natural resources, contaminate the environment, and pose long-term threats to the planet’s health for future generations. In 2023 alone, over 170 armed conflicts were recorded globally.

🔧 The Best Tools for Programmers in 2025
In 2025, coding isn’t just about writing lines of logic — it’s about working smart, collaborating efficiently, and building at scale. The modern developer toolbox goes far beyond text editors and compilers. From AI assistants to cloud-based runtimes, today’s tools redefine what it means to be a productive programmer. Here’s a handpicked, original roundup of the best tools that I believe every developer should know — whether you’re a seasoned full-stack engineer or a curious beginner.
Mastering Swift Concurrency The Future of Asynchronous Programming in iOS
Modern mobile applications are expected to be fast, responsive, and capable of multitasking without freezing or crashing. Whether it’s downloading images, syncing user data, or updating the UI — these actions must not block the main thread. Swift’s old concurrency model — DispatchQueue, OperationQueue, completion handlers — worked, but they were hard to read, write, and maintain.
Quantum Computers Are Driving The Next Revolution In AI
Quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) are doing the dance of the seven veils. But instead consider an AI system that can grapple with enormous, intricate sets of data and solve for the best solution in real time, then incorporate new information at blinding speed. Now, imagine that you do all of this on a quantum computer, a machine that uses quantum mechanics to solve problems that would be unimaginable to a classical computer.
The Code That Listens Event-Driven Programming and Human Discourse
Imagine walking into a café. You sit; the barista does not thrust a menu in your face. They instead wait for you to talk. You choose; they respond. The give and take is smooth — responsive, not jarring. That, in a nutshell, is what event-driven programming is. You’re not being proactive, you’re not telling the computer what to do, you’re just waiting for something to happen, and reacting. Like people having a conversation.
