The data collection technique used simple random sampling by distributing research questionnaires in the form of Google from and then distributing them to social media. The data processing method in this study uses the Smart PLS software which is used to test the hypothesis. The results of this study indicate that financial behavior has proven to have a positive and significant effect on financial planning, spiritual intelligence is proven to have a positive and significant effect on financial planning, self- control is proven to have a positive and significant effect on financial planning, self-control is able to strengthen the influence of spiritual intelligence on financial planning. The results of this study recommend that students if they want to have good financial planning, they must be able to consider which needs are more important by controlling themselves and understanding how to make financial planning properly.

Background: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are well-established and partially overlapping risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Hypertension affects nearly 26% of the adult population worldwide and is an important independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular accidents and death. The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases and Hypertension is rapidly increasing in developing countries. Hypertension has been reported to be responsible for 57% of all stroke deaths and 24% of all cardiovascular deaths in East Asians. Objective: To compare the lipid profile of hypertensive patients with normotensive individuals and socio-demographic and dyslipidemia patterns in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. Methodology: A total of 167 hypertensive patients. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. An equal number of normotensive individuals were selected at Hypertension & Research Center, Rangpur and the Department of Medicine, Rangpur medical college hospital, Rangpur, from February 2013 to November 2013. Consecutive purposive sampling method and fasting lipid profile was done. Informed written consent was taken from the patient and the normotensive individual. Results: In this study, we studied a total of 334 patients; among them, 167 were hypertensive, and an equal number of normotensive individuals. The age range for hypertensive patients was 20-89 years, whereas for normotensive patients was 20-80. The mean age of the study population was 47.58 (SD±12.027) for the hypertensive group and 40.29 (SD±15.493) for the normotensive group. Males were dominant in both hypertensive (57.5% Vs 42.5%) and normotensive individuals (66.5% Vs 33.5%). The hypertensive population lived more in urban areas (55.6% vs 53.29%). Conclusion: Sub-categorized serum lipid profile as this study shows exceptionally high total cholesterol, high triglycerides and borderline LDL-cholesterol levels are positively associated with Hypertension. Higher lipids levels may be attributed to physical inactivity and stress. So timely lipid profile assessment is necessary in all hypertensive cases, especially in northern Bangladesh, to stop further aggravation and risks of coronary artery diseases.

I propose an analysis on the acquisition of the alveolar trill /r/ by Spanish-speaking children as a heritage language. I aim to determine to what extent the acquisition of the trill by these speakers may differ from the same process in monolingual children. To that end, I will recruit twenty children Spanish-English bilingual heritage speakers (3-6 years of age), and twenty monolingual children of the same age who have never been exposed to another language. To collect the data, I will schedule brief Zoom meetings with the parents of the participants, and I will ask them to connect with the children to play a quick game (a picture-naming task). I will carefully listen to the recordings and examine the participant’s accuracy to produce the acoustic features of the Spanish trill. I will analyze all the tokens acoustically using PRAAT (Boersma & Weenink, 2017). The research hopes to be a contribution in the field of phonological acquisition of Spanish in bilingual settings, and to fill a gap in the literature regarding the development of the trill by heritage speakers.

We investigated the effects of garlic extract on the peripheral blood immune cells in mice treated with the extract for twenty days. The study was carried out on ten male ICR mice. The mice were divided into two groups. The control group received a distilled water and garlic extract group in which the mice received garlic extract at a dose of 500 mg/kg. b.w, for twenty days. Blood samples were collected on day ten and day twenty post inoculation (p.i) for differential leucocytic count (WBCs count and Lymphocytes %) and flowcytometric analysis. In comparison to the control group, garlic extract treatment induced a significant increase in WBCs count and lymphocytes percentage on day 10 and day 20 p.i. Furthermore, garlic extract administration to the experimental mice caused significant increase in the expression percentage of CD4, CD8 and γ-δ T cells when analyzed by flowcytometry on day 10 and increased dramatically on day 20 p.i. The WBCs count and lymphocytes percentage as well as the percentage of the expressed cells increased on day 20 more than their levels on day 10 p.i with a fixed dose of garlic extract. In conclusion, inoculation of garlic extract induced an increase in the immune responses of the cellular immunity in the peripheral blood circulation of mice.

One of the plants that has been used by the community is cherry (Muntingia calabura L.) which is a lush plant, easy to breed, often on the side of the road, allowed to grow as a shade tree. Traditionally used to treat bleeding wounds, festering and burns, inflammation of the walls of blood vessels accompanied by blood clots in their channels. Fresh or dried cherry leaves are used as a medicine for wounds by finely grinding them and placing them on the wound. The use of cherry leaves directly in the treatment of wounds is not liked by the community, so they tried to formulate it in the form of cream preparations. Based on this, the researchers conducted a phytochemical screening and formulation of cherry leaf extract in cream preparations as well as tested its effectiveness for treating wounds. Extraction was carried out by percolation using 80% ethanol. Phytochemical screening was carried out on fresh leaves, simplicia, and ethanol extract of cherry leaves. And formulated into cream preparations with concentrations of 2.5%, 5% and 7.5%. The effectiveness for wound healing was carried out on artificial incisions on the back skin of male guinea pigs infected with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Measured decrease in wound diameter and observation of the width of the pus and the amount of edema. The results of the phytochemical screening test showed that there were the same groups of chemical compounds in fresh leaves, simplicia, and ethanol extract of cherry leaves, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids/steroids. The greater the concentration of EEDK in the cream, the faster the wound will heal. On the 16th day, 5% EEDK; 7.5%; and gentamicin provide 100% perfect wound healing. Means that the ethanol extract of cherry leaves at a concentration of 5% has a very good ability to heal incisions infected with Staphylococcs aureus.

This research consists of 2 (two) main issues, namely the Weaknesses of Regulations on the Cessation of Prosecution of Narcotics Addicts in the Framework of Restorative Justice and Efforts to reconstruct regulations on stopping the prosecution of narcotics addicts within the framework of restorative justice based on values of justice. This type of research is descriptive analysis, using a sociological legal research approach. Sociological juridical research, namely legal research using legal principles and principles in reviewing, viewing, and analyzing problems, in the study, in addition to reviewing the implementation of law in practice. Research Result Shows that the weaknesses mentioned by the author is in the legal substance: the prosecutor's authority to stop prosecution that is not based on restorative justice, there are still many narcotics addicts who end up with prison sentences. Then legal structure: there is no consensus on restorative justice among members or law enforcement officials. And, in legal culture: when the prosecutor indicted and in his charge used Article 127, the judge dominantly gave a prison sentence, as if he did not care that the defendant was also a victim of the crime he had committed. To overcome this, a legal reconstruction is needed in Article 140 Paragraph (2) of the Criminal Procedure Code by adding the termination of prosecution by the prosecutor as the controller of the case with the concept of restorative justice. Reconstruction of article 111 of Law No. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics by adding rehabilitation sanctions for narcotics addicts as an option for legal certainty and the effectiveness of sanctions in the field.

Background: The most common causes of prenatal morbidity and death in Bangladesh are eclampsia and severe preeclampsia or toxemia (PET). Obstetricians and anesthesiologists have complex challenges while dealing with this condition. Despite the improved result of spinal anesthesia over general anesthesia, general anesthesia is still routinely used for emergency LUCS in underdeveloped nations. More and more people in industrialized nations, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, recognize spinal anesthesia for its safety. Objective: In this study our main aim is to evaluate the efficacy of the Spinal Anesthesia during Emergency Cesarean Section for Severe Preeclampsia and Eclampsia Patients. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out at tertiary medical hospital from January 2020 to January 2021. Total 200 cases of severe PET (n=110) and eclampsia (n=100) patients were selected by subarachnoid block for emergency LUCS. Each patient was given magsulph as prophylactic or maintenance dose and judiciously preloaded by crystalloid fluid. Results: Most of the patients belong to 31-40 years age group, 55% and 95.8% cases were multigravida. In severe PET group, intraoperative hypotension was observed in 32% cases and postoperative period hypotension was observed in 8% cases. Whereas preeclampsia group, intraoperative hypotension was observed in 31% cases and postoperative period hypotension was observed in 9% cases. In addition, maternal morbidity where acute renal failure seen in 5%, syndrome 7%, DIC 7%, abruptio placentae 12%, pulmonary edema 4%, septicemia 13%, PPH 10% and postpartum eclampsia 15%.In severe PET group, 21% cases transferred to eclampsia ward, followed by 9% shifted to ICU, 1% case was expired. Whereas, in preeclampsia group 20% cases transferred to eclampsia ward, followed by 8% shifted to ICU, 2% case was expired. In eclamptic group 7% cases were transferred to NCU, whereas 8% had PET. Neonatal mortality was observed in 3% cases. p value was found 0.000 which is very highly significant. Conclusion: With close monitoring of perioperative events, spinal anesthesia may be used as a safe alternative technique to GA or epidural in severe preeclampsia and eclampsia, even in cases of altered consciousness or restlessness in the presence of an expert and skilled anesthesiologist, reducing perioperative maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Objectives: The study was conducted to assess the association between practicing COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) with age, gender, educational status, and prevalence of signs & symptoms in patients visiting the outpatient department of University Dental Hospital (UDH). Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study with non-probability convenient sampling was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire to determine the association between COVID-19 SOPs with signs & symptoms evaluated during the screening of the selected representative population. SPSS version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Results: In public places, Group D (50-69 years) and female gender group displayed the highest percentage of conformity with combination-2 (FM+HS) of SOPs. Same was true for individuals with post graduate education. However, in work places Group A (20-29 years) exhibited maximum abidance with combination-2, a trend that was visible amongst females and post graduate students in a work/institutional setting. Similarly, in hospital settings Group A and female gender group observed combination-2 of SOPs to the greatest extent. The same trend was observed amongst higher than bachelor level education holders. The uneducated and middle-level educational group chose a single SOP of FM, while the rest of the educational groups utilized a mix of FM, HS, and SD. Males showed greater compliance with FM only. Conclusion: It was divulged that the population following single COVID-19 SOP was at a greater risk to experience COVID-19 symptoms in comparison to those who followed combination-1(HS+FM) and combination-2(HS+FM+SD) of SOPs.

Surgical operations constitute an integral part of medical management of different health challenges. Developing countries suffer from under-reporting of health conditions even when such conditions are fairly common in occurrence. This study observed common surgical cases with a view to highlighting possible associations with gender. A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive approach was adopted. A total of 626 cases presenting for surgical review between a two-year periods from September 2020 to August 2022 at University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar in Nigeria were reviewed. Data analysis to test for gender association was carried out using chi-square analysis on SPSS 22.0 at 95% confidence level with p-value of ≤ 0.05. The highest frequency of 56% was recorded for breast tumour. This was followed by hernia and goitre which accounted for 20% and 15 of surgical cases respectively. Lesser frequencies were observed for lipoma (4%), appendicitis (2%) and fistula (2%). The least among the commonly observed cases was testicular torsion which was recorded to be 1%. Breast tumour and goitre were significantly higher in females compared to males, while hernia was seen to be significantly higher in males compared to females. Testicular torsion occurred solely in males. This study concludes that significant gender associations exist in the distribution of surgical cases at the study centre. While female preponderance was observed for breast tumour and goitre cases, hernia was prevalent among the males.

This research work has investigated the importance of linguistic morphology in the construction of new lexemes and grammatically conditioned words on the first hand and the way both derivational and inflectional morphemes function to carry and impart compositional meaning in text on the other. Premised on the objective of raising more awareness on the significance of morphological research, this paper has applied both the quantitative and qualitative analysis methods to the historic speech “I Have a Dream” by the African American civil rights figurehead Martin Luther King Jr. The scientific roadmap thus carved has led its process through the identification, labelling and numbering of the distinctive derivational (50 /40%) and inflectional (75 / 60%) morphemes. A furthering of the quantitative input has displayed an outstanding use of nominalisations with nouns derived from adjectives 17 [13.6%] and from verbs 12 [9.6%] with bound morphemes such as “ity”, “ice”, “ation”, “tion”, “or”, and “dom”. On the inflectional part, the prevailing use of regular and irregular plural number imparting morphemes (47 / 37.6%) together with tense inflections (16 / 12.8%) pair up to confirm, in a qualitative analytical approach, the ideological perspective of the speaker to include the largest anonymous members of the African American community as the intended beneficiaries of his unquenchable soft but vibrant battle for freedom. The use of tense indicating morphemes has revealed the presence of a threefold tense progression from the past tense (simple past and past perfect) to the simple present and then to the future. The crosscheck of the semantics of such morphemic operations has uncovered the perspective of Martin Luther King Jr for the logical representation of the sufferings of the Black community and liberation struggles in the past, the need to keep the battle going in the present time with the conviction of brighter days in the future.

The level of awareness of breast cancer is still growing particularly in developing countries such as Nigeria. Unfortunately, the down side of low awareness include among others, the lack of adequate social support systems. It is therefore necessary look into the availability of support systems for breast cancer patients. This cross-sectional descriptive study enrolled 40 females accessing medical care for breast cancer purposively in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. The study participants had received chemotherapy following the surgical removal of the tumour. They were on post-chemotherapy routine check as at the time of the study. A structured questionnaire was administered by two trained interviewers to obtain information on available support system to the study participants. Attitude to the condition among the patients included anxiety and fear (47.5%) as the highest while optimism was the least on the ranking at 25%. Those whose spouses were supportive ranked low at 12.5 %, while majority of them reported their spouses to be indifferent to their situation. Again, support from other family member’s apart spouses was low at 7.5%. None of the participants was receiving formal support from any agency as at the time of the study. The study concludes that anxiety and fear are prevalently experienced among breast cancer patients in the study area, while optimism is at a low ebb. Support systems exists solely within the informal circle of family and even at that, very few experience good support from family.

Introduction: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are the commonest complaints among the patients for which they seek medical attention. Diseases associated with these symptoms are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Objective: To assess the clinical indication of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and its outcome. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study was conducted at Department of Gastroenterology,Abdul Malek Ukil Medical College Hospital, Noakhali, Bangladesh from January 2020 to December 2020. Six hundred two (602) patients were included. All patients who had come with anemia, dyspepsia, suspected gastrointestinal bleed, dysphagia, malena were included in this study. The data was collected using Microsoft excel software and was classified into indications for performing the endoscopy and their obtained results .The results were further classified into age and sex. Results: Total 602 patients who underwent UGIE during the one year study period were analyzed. Among them 326 were males (54.2%) and 276were females (45.8%). None of the patients were on aspirin or proton pump inhibitors. The maximum number of people who underwent the procedure were within 20 – 60 year age group and there was decreasing trends before and after this age group. The patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy mainly because of dyspepsia 226 37.5%) and pain abdomen 163(27.07%), followed by gastroesophageal reflux symptoms 92(15.2%), dysphagia 48(7.9%), suspected varices 30 (4.9%), gastrointestinal bleeding 23(3.8%), anemia had the least of all indication 20(3.3%). Among the indication for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was considered appropriate according to ASGE criteria, endoscopy was normal in 268(44.5%) patients. Erosive gastritis is the most frequent diagnosis 78(12.9%), followed by non-erosive gastritis 42(6.9%), followed by esophagitis 40 (6.6%), duodenal erosions 38(6.3%) duodenal ulcer 36(5.9%), gastric ulcer 30(4.9%), esophageal varices 21(3.4%), carcinoma of esophagus 16 (2.6%), carcinoma of stomach 12 (1.9%), hiatus hernia 11(1.82%) others 10(1.8%) Conclusion: In conclusion, uppers gastro-intestinal endoscopy is a simple, safe, more reliable and valuable tool with easy learning curve, it enables direct visualization of the upper GI tract and when combined with histopathological examination helps in diagnosing as well as therapeutic interventions for patients with various pathologies. Compared to previous decade there has been gradual rise in GERD which can be attributed to changes in lifestyle and/or a high fat diet with lack of exercise, leading to obesity.

The situation of crises in Zamfara state, North-west Nigeria has recently reached quite unprecedented heights so much so that hardly a day passes without horrible pictures and heartbroken details of excessive destruction and senseless killings on the television screen, radio broadcasting, newspapers, and magazine. Security in Zamfara state has become a major problem in recent times. Cases of abduction, kidnapping, terrorism, senseless killings, maiming, nihilism, burgeoning restlessness, banditry, and other others, have been undoubtedly rampant. Therefore, Zamfara citizens, despite the state apparatus to ensure the safety and protection of lives and property, are incessantly living in perpetual fear and worry. It is against this backdrop that the study tends to proffers other means of trying to resolve the scenario of crises and banditry through the sociology of language and culture as a panacea to incessant crises and banditry in Zamfara state, Nigeria. The objective of the study is, among other things, reasonably available data to identify how language and culture would lead to the achievement of peacebuilding across the state. The researcher employed the use of questionnaires, oral interviews, and formal interactions to elicit information from the inhabitants of the study areas where there are records of banditry and conflicts activities are extensive. The work employed the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which holds that our thoughts are shaped by our native language and that speakers of different languages, therefore, think differently as its theoretical Framework. The study discovered among other things that the application of language and culture are stronger weapons than the arms and ammunition which are being employed by the federal government of Nigeria in attempting to resolve many crises in Zamfara state.

The failure of root canal treatment occurs due to lack of standards or aspects of procedure were not followed accurately. Root canal treatment’s failure can be justified by response ratio of teeth and procedural errors that limits the intracanal endodontic infection, but not control it properly as preventive measure. Although there was very little evidence regarding the predictive factors for tooth preservation, effects of failure of root canal system and tooth survival was investigated. Very few studies have been conducted to evaluate the clinical outcomes of failure of root canal treatment on tooth survival. Therefore, we will aim to design a systematic review to evaluate clinical outcomes of failure of root canal treatment on tooth survival. We conducted a systematic review by following “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)” guidelines related to title which was “The effect of failure root canal treatment on the tooth” according to study aims. The study selection criteria (as including both inclusion and exclusion criteria) were designed for screening and selection of collected data in recent systematic review. For recent systematic review, we collected about 67 studies related to the effect of failure root canal treatment on the tooth through searching from above mentioned databases About 7 out of remaining papers were up to the standard and met the above-mentioned criteria. The above included 7 studies were relevant to study aims and evaluated the effects of failed toot treatments or root canal treatment (RCT) on tooth survival, tooth health and safety. All included studies coded the major effects of failure root canal treatment as the swelling, (Topçuoğlu & Topçuoğlu, 2017 & Ulin et al., 2020) prospective pain, (Ballal et al., 2020, Wang et al., 2010 & inflammation, (Verma et al., 2019) and microbial attack (Chen et al., 2017 & Jordan et al., 2014) intensity. However, all studies have evaluated different root canal treatment with different non-surgical treatments. Overall, the clinical effects of failure of root canal treatment are severe and should be overcome with retreatment.

Change has been the unwritten yet self-evident law of nature and society. However, in recent times the pace, magnitude, complexities and dimensions of these changes got accelerated and intensified. The changes can be discerned in each sphere of our lives including the domain of learning and education sector. Scholars have identified four stages of Education from 1.0 to 4.0. In each of these four phases, all the characteristics change including institutional arrangement, content organisation, learning orientation, technology, teaching-learning methods, and role of students and teachers. Transition in to Education 4.0 necessitates a transformation in teacher education institutions (TEIs) because in these institutions teachers and educational administrators of future are being prepared. This paper looks at the 2 year B. Ed. curriculum prescribed by Himachal Pradesh University in 2015 and assesses the extent to which this curriculum can prepare graduates for future. The paper observes that teachers being prepared currently are not ready for roles and responsibilities they are expected to shoulder in the changed and changing scenario. It further observes that many aspects of current system of teacher education actually stand at Education 1.0 and as such requires responsive curriculum, unflinching commitment and unprecedented mobilization of resources in order to cover the long path in order to transition into 4.0 successfully. The current pandemic has potential to become a pretext for taking steps in desired direction.
