Optical constants such as refractive index, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient and the real (εr) and imaginary (εi) components of the dielectric constant for CuSO4.5H2O (10-100%) concentrations were determined from the visible light Optical transmission data. Results of visible light transmission analysis in the solutions have shown that in dilute solutions the dielectric constant real and imaginary parts are linear. The addition of dissolved cu+2 and so4-2 ions above (80%) concentrations results in a drop in dielectric constant.

By the provision of Section 36(1)(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), every accused is entitled to the right to fair hearing and to the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in accordance with procedure permitted by law. In a complementary manner to the Constitution, the administration of criminal justice Act, 2015 of the Country, provides for host of procedures which shall be complied with by the police in criminal investigation. One such provision is Section 6, 15(3) and 17(2) of the Act which provides suspect with the right to silence until after consultation with a legal practitioner of his choice, members of the Legal Aid Council, and members of a Civil Society or other persons of his choice. The Act requires further that statement when volunteered, shall be video or audio recorded and shall be recorded in the presence of a counsel for the suspect or other persons of his choice without providing consequences for non-compliance. Instead, the evidence Act of the Country, 2011 provides for the admissibility of evidence improperly obtained where the same is relevant. In this paper, the writer using the doctrinal research method explores the question whether the legal regime on the admissibility of improperly obtained evidence under the Act, is inconsistent with the international standard on the right to fair hearing enshrined in the Constitution. In the final analysis, the writer makes recommendations for reform.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in developing countries and the second most common form of cancer in the world as a whole. An estimated 468,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 233,000 deaths occurred in the year 2000. Cervical cancer constitutes about 26 % of female cancer in different areas of Bangladesh. Objective: To find out the role of VIA for the detection of precancerous and early cancerous lesions of the cervix with co-relation of Colposcopic findings and ultimate. Methods: A prospective study was conducted from January, 2010 to June 2010 on 100 women attending at the "Colposcopy Clinic" of Gynae Oncology Division of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of BSMMU, Dhaka. Only VIA positive cases were taken into consideration for the study. Results: The mean age of the participants were 33.39 years (range 18-60) with 41.0 % in the age group between 36-45 years. Among all the subjects, the majority (75%) was housewives and 70.0% the patients hailed from urban area. The yearly incomes of 46% families were between 50,000 to 60,000 Tk. The mean parity of the respondents was 1.75 and 4. More than 4 children were found in 14% cases. Up to 35.0% had 2 children only. About 46.0 % had experienced menarche at the age 13 years and the range was 12-14 years. In regard to risk factors, 64% used hormonal methods. Among the participants 80% experienced first coitus of age between 13-20 years. Excessive vaginal discharge and backache were the principal complaints. Colposcopy evaluated 65 cases as CIN (CIN I 34 %, CIN 11-17%, CIN-III 14%) and 3.0% as invasive lesions. Biopsy evaluated 45% as CIN (CIN I-20% CIN-15%, CIN-III 10%) and 1% as invasive lesions. The sensitivity and specificity of colposcopy were 82.14 % and 50.00% respectively. This suggests the role of colposcopy in the evaluation of CIN and cervical cancer. Conclusion: The study concludes that the VIA and colposcopy are the important methods of diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of cervical pre-malignancy. VIA may be used as a tool for screening in underdeveloped countries and may be associated with a referral procedure for further methods like colposcopy and biopsy. Colposcopy is an indispensable procedure in the evaluation of unhealthy cervix through it requires considerable training and experience.

The present study aimed to assess male and female Taekwondo (TKD) players based on four domains of World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) -BREF and to find the dominant domain in TKD players' life. Forty-six (46) male and fifty-five (55) female participants were included in the study through purposive random sampling. The information on four quality of life domains, i.e., physical health, psychological, social relationship, and environment, were gathered through the WHOQOL-BREF Bengali version (WHO, 2020) questionnaire. The researchers analysied the data through descriptive analysis, ANOVA, LSD, and students' t-tests at 0.05 level of significance. The analysis revealed that irrespective of Gender, the social relation domain plays a dominant role in TKD players' life, and the male TKD players are better than their female counterparts in the physical health domain only. Based on the result, we concluded that regular practice and participation in the TKD program help the participant to develop all four aspects of WHOQOL-BREF. Among the four domains, the participants scored significantly better in the social relation domain in both gender groups. The interpersonal relations and interaction among the players during a practice session and competition may be the possible reason behind such kind of result. In the inter-group comparison, the male participants responded significantly better in the physical health domain than the female participants, possibly because of some physical and physiological gender differences.

A syndrome described as "hurried child syndrome"—a combination of stress-related behaviors—may develop when a child's parents expect performance levels much above his or her mental, social, or emotional capacity. In essence, parents overbook their children's calendars, put pressure on them to succeed academically, and expect them to act and react like young adults. The current situation of trade is another factor. Many people that market to children today are aware that their parents no longer have complete control over what their children eat, wear, or engage in for entertainment. The consumerist economy is taking advantage of this reality, and it affects children. The following statistics serve as an example of the "hurried child syndrome": The suicide and homicide rates have increased by three times over the previous 20 years, childhood obesity has increased by half, and 15 to 25 percent of young children are "failing" kindergarten, according to recent research on the effects of rushed kid syndrome. In an effort to "manage" them better at home and at school, millions of children take drugs. According to recent data, 70% of virgin girls will not remain virgins by the time they reach maturity, and 40% of adolescent girls who engage in sexual activity will become pregnant by then. Addiction to drugs and alcohol is the main cause of death for young people today, but suicide rates are also rising. Every year, 5,000 teenagers take their own lives.

An accused person, otherwise referred to in French as “le prevenu”, is a person who must appear before the trial court to answer to the charge brought against him whether in respect of a simple offence, a misdemeanor or a felony [1]. The Cameroon Criminal Procedure Code upholds the trial rights of accused persons. The code like the 1996 Constitution of Cameroon provides a platform for the implementation of criminal norms in the country. It also helps protect accused persons from arbitrary and unjust laws and sanctions. The present Criminal Code harmonized the two procedural codes that existed in Francophone and Anglophone Cameroon which were the Code d’Instruction Criminelle, and the Criminal Procedure Ordinance respectively. These trial rights of accused persons are upheld through a legal process by the trial courts of Law in Cameroon. This therefore means that the rights of accused persons are therefore suppose to be treated in a particular way during a criminal trial. These rights embody the right to be given something as well as the right to be allowed to do something in a specific manner. Adopting purely qualitative research method involving purely content analysis of cases and relevant statutes, this paper conclude that the government has made efforts in respecting the rights of accused persons standing trial before a competent court of law but its efforts are inadequate. Notwithstanding, finding a compromise between the respects of the rights of accused persons standing trial before a competent court of law with societal interest has never been a trouble-free assignment. To this end, the paper seeks to examine the protection of the rights of accused persons as are confectioned in the criminal procedure code and its extent of implementation as we sought to respond to the main question, to what extent does the Cameroon government guarantee the respect of the rights of accused persons standing trial before a competent court of law?

Background: Patients need enough food to recover from any disease. Patients with serious illnesses have high nutritional requirements and can become malnourished very quickly. Research findings suggest that early nutrition is important for patient outcomes. The nutritional needs of all patients are reviewed daily and nutrition is initiated as soon as possible, usually on the first day of admission. In critical care areas, enteral feeding is used to overcome malnutrition conditions and to keep patient in the safety side. Therefore, enteral nutrition is considered an easier method and cheaper when compared to parenteral nutrition which has more complications and costlier, additionally, having enough knowledge about enteral nutrition by the nurses is considered very crucial to administer the enteral feeding to patients in the proper way at the critical care units. Method: Non-experimental, cross-sectional research design which will identify nurses’ knowledge regarding enteral feeding among cardiac nurses at CCH. The study will describe knowledge by using a quantitative method. The research will be conducted in Cardiac Center Hail, Ha’il Region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and will focus on all cardiac nursing care units. Results: The data obtained from this study were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 25.0 program. A descriptive statistical analysis using means, frequencies, percentages, and standard deviations was used to describe the demographic variables and answer question 1. Kruskal-Wallis was used to determine if there are significant differences among the means of the groups (more two groups) and Mann-Whitney (independent-samples) for questions 2, because the data doesn’t follow normality distribution, where of the Table 2, we find that the significance level of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was less than 0.05. This leads us to reject the null hypothesis that the data follow the normal distribution, so we used nonparametric tests. Conclusion: The nurses’ knowledge regarding enteral nutrition at the cardiac nursing units were enough under safe practices. The in-short activities of Continuing Nursing Education had a positive effect in improving the nurses’ knowledge and practices regarding enteral nutrition in the in-patients’ departments at Cardiac Center Hail.
