We promote a solid foundation to early learning through our Elementary Educational module. At Kashmir Harvard children are seen as capable learners to construct their learning capabilities. Their learning environment becomes an additional teacher. We teach our children “How To Think and Not What To Think”. All experiences are drawn from the real world. Each precious child can comfortably create his/her own niche and will discover his talents, nurture skills, find his/her forte and most importantly will be groomed to become a lifelong learner. We are committed to provide a safe, positive learning environment for our students. Our motto “Working Hard To Be Our Best” suggests an important element of education. It reflects the effort we encourage each of our students to put into his/her learning. At Harvard Educational Institute ethics and moral education is imparted to students on regular basis to promote their behaviour of conscience.

FLASH FICTION Flash fiction is a medium of brief and enclosed stories. These are also known as nanotales, micro-stories, postcard fiction, napkin fiction and micro fiction. The term is often used to describe short works or short casual works as well.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN I believe in upholding values with an unconditional commitment to endeavor, to appreciate and to develop an apt module for educational course of action, using team strategies and of course, bringing at the fore the requirements of the aspirants. During the COVID-19 Lockdown, online teaching is evolving as the most suitable means for teaching and learning. E- learning has turned to be the only means to cater to the needs of the aspirants. Keeping in view we have come up with the idea of publishing the e-magazine to create an electronic archive for future use. I appreciate the role played by my faculty members in particular and IT department in general to reinforce the e-learning concept by inspiring the student to express their feelings freely, to present and preserve their art pieces. Our purpose is to cuspidate the latent skills of students, which otherwise remains dumped in the junkyard of our own negligence. There are miles to go and we are trying our best to accommodate productive modules for the next session. At Kashmir Harvard our focus is to provide a healthy environment for better learning by using modern technology to enable aspirants to cope up with their competitors and to be the productive members of the society. While it appears daunting, once you know accurately what needs to be done, it is notâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; all that complicated. What you need is to lend a hand and get it done. I appreciate the efforts of the entire team for creating e- magazine for the first time in the school to encourage students and teachers to explore their talent.

LISTENING-THE ART OF BETTER LIVING. MR NAZIR SOFI

Listening is an important ingredient of communication, but often overlooked and ignored. We live in an age of communication wherein, we use technology, like cell phones, texts, tweets, emails and social media to communicate. There is a lot of talking going on but how much listening happens? We come across a lot of discussions about family feuds, ideological conflicts, labor strikes , Civil wars and other forms of confrontation, but we fall short to achieve the desired outcome of discussions for the reason we listen to react. And we react to make others to listen to us in the same way as we listen to them. In this game of response and reaction we fail to listen. It is generally believed that negotiations are all about talking means how good or how well an individual talks. But in fact, it's really about listening. It's impossible to talk effectively without listening carefully and with an intent to understand. Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply. When we study the successful stories of the people around, we find that they listen more than they speak for the good reason that a man is equipped with two ears to listen, he must listen double than what he speaks. Listening is important for a number of good reasons. Listening helps us understand the other side better. In the process of negotiation, we are trying to change someone else's mind and the key is to listen and ponder. People who lack listening abilities can never change the minds and the one who cannot produce a ripple in the stagnant water vanishes with his own stagnation. Listening is a key that unlocks the hearts to read what lies embedded in the domains hitherto unexplored. Listening helps us connect with other people. It builds trust and shows we care . Listening bedecks the otherwise wrecked human edifice. When you attentively listen to someone, you will be listened to with same severity and seriousness. So keep listening to others and in reciprocation you will be listened to. In short listening, maybe the cheapest concession we can make in a negotiation; it costs us nothing but changes a mind. Listening is the golden key that opens the doors to make this earth the best place to live in. Imagine the world where leaders learn to listen to the masses, parents to their off-springs, husbands to their counterparts and vice versa. What if the convention is broken in the classrooms by teaching listening (like we teach reading as a core skill), the aspirants may develop a cosmopolitan outlook. Such stock when diffused in the society, may bring broken families together. We may not resolve all the conflicts of the world , but certainly we may be able to bring stakeholders on table to listen and resolve their genuine grievances. People usually take listening for granted. It is taken as something easy and natural. But in fact, the effective listening or genuine listening is something that needs to be learned. In ordinary listening, we hear the words and react without taking down their connotative or suggestive meanings, but we listen only to agree or disagree. We maintain silence when we agree and raise the voice where we disagree, listening,

but in doing so we promote a self styled cause. In genuine

we listen from within their frame of reference and respond accordingly. But in general

discourse we hardly give an ample chance to themselves reach to their point of view and that's what has spoiled human relations. E-ZINE, October 2020

We must listen to , not just words, but the worth of the words in the light of understanding. If we can do so , then we'll listen not just what's being said, but even what's not being said. In genuine listening, we feel the emotions and list the requirements of the speaker because one speaks to get a good listener. A good listener is a good human being. So when listening is so important and useful, why isn't everyone doing it? People find listening very hard because there is so much unhealthy stuff going on in our minds, so much noise and distractions that hardly allows us to listen to what is being spoken. If we decide to listen to someone, we have to learn to listen to ourselves

SYNTHETIC DRUGSTHE ONLY OPTION ? MS SHEEMA MANZOOR

Cardiac arrest is a sudden loss of blood flow resulting from the failure of the heart to pump effectively. Sudden cardiac arrest differs from a heart attack, In cardiac arrest, the heart abruptly stops beating, however, in heart attack blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked. Moreover, a heart attack can sometimes trigger an electrical disturbance that leads to sudden cardiac arrest. If not treated immediately, sudden cardiac arrest can lead to death. With fast, appropriate medical care, survival is possible. Giving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), using a defibrillator â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or even just giving compressions to the chest â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can improve the chances of survival until emergency workers arrive.

Symptoms: Sudden cardiac arrest signs and symptoms are immediate and drastic and include: Sudden collapse No pulse No breathing Loss of consciousness Sometimes other signs and symptoms occur before sudden cardiac arrest. These might include: Chest discomfort Shortness of breath Weakness Palpitations When the heart stops, the lack of oxygenated blood can cause death or permanent brain damage in minutes. E-ZINE, October 2020

Page 8 of 30

CAUSES: A problem in the heart rhythm (arrhythmia) is the result of a problem with heart's electrical system which actually is the usual cause of sudden cardiac arrest. The heart's electrical system controls the rate and rhythm of heartbeat. If something goes wrong, heart can beat too fast, too slowly or irregularly (arrhythmia). Often these arrhythmias are brief and harmless, but some types can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. The most common heart rhythm at the time of cardiac arrest is an arrhythmia in a lower chamber of the heart (ventricle). Rapid, erratic electrical impulses cause ventricles to quiver uselessly instead of pumping blood (ventricle fibrillation). Sudden cardiac arrest can happen in people who have no known heart disease. However, a life-threatening arrhythmia usually develops in a person with a pre-existing, possibly undiagnosed heart condition. These conditions include: CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE: Most cases of sudden cardiac arrest occur in people who have coronary artery disease, in which arteries become clogged with cholesterol and other deposits, reducing blood flow to the heart. HEART ATTACK: If a heart attack occurs, often as a result of severe coronary artery disease, it can trigger ventricular fibrillation and sudden cardiac arrest. Also, a heart attack can leave scar tissue in heart. Electrical short circuits around the scar tissue can lead to abnormalities in heart rhythm. ENLARGED

HEART

(CARDIOMYOPATHY):

This

occurs

primarily when heart's muscular walls stretch and enlarge or thicken. Then heart's muscle is abnormal, a condition that often leads to arrhythmias. VALVULAR HEART DISEASE: Leaking or narrowing of the heart valves can lead to stretching or thickening of heart muscle. When the chambers become enlarged or weakened because of stress caused by a tight or leaking valve, there's an increased risk of developing arrhythmia. CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE: When sudden cardiac arrest occurs in children or adolescents, it can be due to a heart defect that was present at birth (congenital heart disease). Adults who've had corrective surgery for a congenital heart defect still have a higher risk of sudden cardiac arrest. ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE HEART: In some people, the problem is in the heart's electrical system itself instead of a problem with the heart muscle or valves. These are called primary heart rhythm abnormalities and include conditions such as Brugada's syndrome and long QT syndrome. COMPLICATIONS When

Page 9 of 30

ADRENALINE This is the first drug given in all causes of cardiac

arrest

and

should

readily

available in all clinical areas. Adrenaline concentrates the blood around the vital organs, specifically the brain and the heart, by peripheral vasoconstriction. These are the organs that must continue to receive blood to increase the chances of survival following cardiac arrest. Adrenaline also strengthens

cardiac

contractions

stimulates the cardiac muscle. This further increases the amount of blood circulating to the vital organs, and also increases the chance of the heart returning to a normal rhythm. Adrenaline can be given repeatedly during a cardiac arrest until the condition of the patient improves. The Resuscitation Council recommends that it is given as soon as possible once a cardiac arrest has been identified. This can be repeated every 3-5 minutes. The common side effects of administration of adrenaline drug includes anxiety, weakness, dizziness, sweating, palpitation, pallor, nausea , vomiting, headache and respiratory difficulties. Too much use of adrenaline can be dangerous to the heart, brain and other organs. In patients with pre- existing heart disease, this drug can also dislodge arterial plaques, send blood clots to the heart causing heart attack or to the brain, causing stroke. AMIODARONE This drug is given during cardiac arrest to treat specific

cardiac

fibrillation

and

arrthymias, ventricular

mainly

ventricular

tachycardia.

The

Resuscitation Council recommends that the first treatment for ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia should be electrical defibrillation. If this

unsuccessful

after

three

attempts

amiodarone should be given. Amiodarone has a complex effect on the heart but the main effect is to slow down the metabolism of cardiac tissue. The drug also blocks the action of hormones that speed up the heart rate. The overall effect is to slow the heart. This is important in a cardiac arrest when the heart is beating too fast to produce a normal circulation. The side-effect of this drug most relevant to cardiac arrest is severe bradycardia. For this reason a patient receiving an infusion of IV amiodarone should be monitored in a critical care environment such as a coronary care or intensive care unit. This medication has the high risk of serious side effects which include lung problems, liver problems, worsening of irregular heart rate and even it might lead to loss of vision.

E-ZINE, October 2020

Page 10 of 30

LIDOCAINE This drug is similar to amiodarone in that it is given to treat specific cardiac arrythmias, again mainly ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. It reduces the electrical activity of cardiac tissue and so is able to slow down a very fast heart rate. The Resuscitation Council recommends that lidocaine only be given in situations where amiodarone is not available. It should not be given at the same time as amiodarone and should not be given if amiodarone has already been administered. As with amiodarone, the side-effects of this drug are bradycardia together with hypotension, and continual cardiac monitoring is recommended. The administration of this drug can lead to convulsions, dark urine, blue appearance of the skin, shallow breathing.

ATROPINE The action of this drug is to block the effect of the vagus nerve on the heart. This nerve normally slows heart rate and during cardiac arrest, is a common cause of asystole. Atropine also acts on the conduction system of the heart and accelerates the transmission of electrical impulses through cardiac tissue.

In cardiac arrest, it is given to reverse asystole and severe bradycardia. The Resuscitation Council recommends that atropine be given for pulseless electrical activity with a rate of less than 60 beats per minute or in complete asystole. The adverse reactions to atropine include ventricular fibrillation, supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, dilated pupils, photophobia, deliriant hallucinations.

E-ZINE, October 2020

Page 11 of 30

ADDITIONAL DRUGS The previously mentioned drugs are administered either as soon as the cardiac arrest has been diagnosed (adrenaline) or once the electrical activity of the heart has been assessed on a cardiac monitor (amiodarone or atropine). The following drugs are given once the above have been tried and there is no improvement in the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition. Their administration requires a knowledge of the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past medical history or a history of the circumstances of the arrest. A list of the drugs recommended by the Resuscitation Council for use during a cardiac arrest is given below:CALCIUM CHLORIDE Calcium is essential for the contraction of muscular tissue throughout the body, and is especially important for the strength of contraction of cardiac tissue. If given during cardiac arrest it can stabilise the contraction of cardiac tissue after metabolic changes have caused instability and arrythmias (Hollander-Rodriguez and Calvert, 2006). It has been suggested that calcium can improve weak or inefficient myocardial contractions when adrenaline has failed. This is especially the case following open-heart surgery (eMC, 2006). Calcium can also be used to protect against a number of metabolic conditions that cause pulseless electrical activity, including raised blood potassium levels, lowered blood calcium levels and overdose of magnesium or calcium channel blocking drugs. Calcium chloride must be administered intravenously and must not be injected directly into tissue due to the high risk of tissue necrosis. It should be given through a small-bore cannula placed in a large vein, again to reduce the risk of damage to the surrounding tissue. Due to a chemical interaction calcium chloride should not be given through the same venous access point as sodium bicarbonate. There are two main side-effects of calcium that are important in the emergency cardiac arrest situation. The first is that repeated injections can increase blood acidity and should be used with caution in patients who have lowered blood pH. As this is found in a large number of patients following a cardiac arrest frequent monitoring of arterial blood pH is advised. Second, IV administration of calcium chloride can cause hypotension due to peripheral vasodilation and, less commonly, bradycardia and cardiac arrhythmias. MAGNESIUM SULPHATE: Magnesium is an important electrolyte involved in the contraction of muscular tissue, including cardiac muscle. A reduction in blood levels of this element can frequently cause cardiac arrhythmias, often leading to cardiac arrest. Common causes of excessive magnesium loss from the body include long-term use of potassium-losing diuretics, alcohol misuse or diarrhoea. It has also been suggested that magnesium can help stabilise arrhythmias caused by low potassium levels and digoxin toxicity (eMC, 2006). Researchers have found that most synthetic drugs can have adverse cardiovascular effects, ranging from abnormal heart rate to heart attack or can trigger some other dangerous diseases which can prove lethal to the patient. So is it that patients need these drugs for treatment. The success rate of administration of these drugs is good but is it 100%????? If not then why to use these drugs if they themselves become the source for the other diseases. Hence, a significant concern at the present time relates to the E-ZINE, October 2020

Page 12 of 30

necessity of instituting herbal drug therapy in these patients. It is therefore desirable to explore alternative possibilities to maintain heart function. Let me cite an example of the commonly found herb Dandelion which is a good source of Potassium.

Potassium is a very important mineral both for cellular and electrical function. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a normal heart function. Low potassium levels can cause muscle weakness and heart rhythm disturbance. On the other hand, too much potassium can cause dangerous heartbeat irregularities, heart block, ventricular fibrillation and even sudden death. So, the body needs delicate balance of potassium to help the heart and other muscles work properly. So regular potassium level needs to be checked to be sure that it is within a good range. If a person is suffering from cardiac issues, he needs to monitor closely the potassium level as drugs given to him may either cause body to excrete too much of potassium or may cause them to retain too much of potassium. The photochemical analysis shows that the most important compounds in Dandelion are sesquiterpene lactones, beta-amyrin, taraxasterol, taraxerol as well as free sterols, phenylpropanoids, triterpenoidsaponins polysaccharides pectin, resin, mucilage and various flavonoids. Other compounds found throughout Dandelion are hydroxycinnamic acids, chicoric acid, monocaffeeyltartaric acid, chlorogenic acid. The coumarins, cichoriin and aesculin have been identified in leaf extracts. Dandelions are good source of vitamins and minerals including beta carotene, non provitamin A carotenoid, xanthophylls, chlorophyll, iron, sodium, choline, silicon, magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, manganese and copper. Potassium extracted from the leaves and roots of Dandelion can be used to treat Patients suffering from high cholesterol, cardiac issues or heartbeat irregularities. But the need of an hour is to develop various scientific methodologies where these herbs can be extracted to their fullest for their use in treatment of various disease. Herbal drugs if administrated in proper amounts, at proper times at proper intervals can prove beneficial to the patients, Further the herbal drugs will be available at lower costs that can be afforded by all the patients.

FLASH FICTION

MUSHTAQue B BARQ Flash fiction is a medium of brief and enclosed stories. These are also known as nanotales, micro-stories, postcard fiction, napkin fiction and micro fiction. The term is often used to describe short works or short casual works as well. There are other terms that define more specific word counts under 100 words, like drabble (which are 100 words) or six-wordstories (6 words). The 280-character story is also known as twitterature, dribble (mini saga) 50 words, "sudden fiction" (750 words) While writing flash fiction, a writer has to surrender all the crucial information early on, and choose apt diction to dig deeper. The ending doesn’t need to be overly dramatic. Instead, it should “ring like a bell,” giving clarity to the prior passage. Flash fiction is fictional work known for its brevity. It encourages plot development and complete story. The term micro-fiction is often reserved for stories which are less than 300 words long. Whatever their length, pieces of flash fiction contain all the classic story elements we'd expect – protagonists, conflicts, obstacles or complications, and their resolution. Unlike conventional short stories, however, their limited word length means that some of these elements have to remain unwritten and are merely hinted at or implied in the storyline.

E-ZINE, October 2020

as short stories. A flash fiction story is not the shortened version of a long story; it still follows the element of plot, including a beginning, middle and an end, as well as a conflict and a satisfying resolution. Most flash fiction stories take place in one setting as moving between locations using up too much space. It allows the writer and reader to focus on the plot. Flash fiction pieces are plot-driven and include no more than three or four characters. They may include some character development. Micro fiction includes stories under 100 to 250 words, with flash fiction; there is no time for lengthy explanations, character introductions, and setting descriptions. A writer goes straight into what is required in the story. A twist or surprise at the end are essential components of flash fiction.

Page 15 of 30

Page 10 of 24

Micro-fiction enables a writer to write what is essential and leave what is rudiment. It is an art coupled with fun to create a suitable platform for a good plot. A careful word and phrase choices that are able to paint vivid pictures are employed. “Show, don’t tell” is applicable. The need of micro fiction seems important because the poet has come across with micro poetry forms to encourage to carry on their poetic message in the shortest possible form. The modern man is too busy to ponder over a classical or epic piece in a short span of time. Reading must be fun amidst carrying aesthetic value, so it must be transformed keeping in view the modern man’s busy life. So the prose writing like poetry must reach the reader in the form that is too brief but meaningful. Flash fiction is enjoying a tremendous wave of popularity in the present age. Robert Shapard and James Thomas, who began publishing their "Sudden Fiction" series in the 1980s, featuring stories of fewer than 2,000 words. Since then, they have continued to publish flash fiction anthologies, including "New Sudden Fiction," "Flash Fiction Forward," and "Sudden Fiction Latino,". Another important name in the field of flash fiction is Jerome Stern, a director of the creative writing program at Florida State University that inaugurated its World's Best Short Story contest in 1986. Few examples Folk Dance My last trip to Moscow was remarkable. At the farewell party, friends from many countries performed their folk dances. It was indeed something we had never witnessed.

Abrogation Manzoor was admitted in ward 5 to be operated upon early next morning. Anesthesia was administrated and became the citizen of ether. Relatives at the door of Operation Theater were praying. The door opened and a theater boy announced, “Who is with Manzoor Ahmad?” They flocked round the boy and he handed over a sealed jar and asked to deposit it in Room No. 370. After a while one more container they asked to deposit at block A 35 in Pathology lab. Then the door opened again, his son stood up and asked calmly “what is left now in him?” Page 16 of 30

CHILD LABOUR Child labour is a menace which is gripping the world where children are forced to take up any work at very early age, when he should have been in the process of being groomed to face the challenges of the 21st century. Child labour leads to the loss of childhood. It is an exploitation, a crime and indeed a sin. India faces situations where children are forced to work under adverse conditions. Despite laws against child labour, many children are exploited as cheap labour. The authorities are unable to implement strict laws and action to protect children. Society and law makers must eradicate child labour in India. Arham Shah / 9th Green (03)

I have a dream that every single child shall grow as a flower to bedeck the garden of world I have a dream that he shall live as a falcon if wants to soar up high; A rose, if inclines to spread aroma; A fish, if tends to swim in deep seas; and as wind, if it likes to roam on free Falcon won't swim Rose won't be planted on roadsides, fish won't fly up high and the wind won't be sown as a seed: All shall fit as the unique brick In the edifice of a happy world. I have a dream that he shall smile even when his heart is sad.

I have a dream that he shall not be the victim of purposelessness, of despondency and misery.

I have a dream to envision this world as an epitome of paradise on earth; My vision shall come true

from the moon, obtain it from the spark within you.
