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.

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.

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.

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.

Thomas Stearns Eliot's The Waste Land is a mysterious enigmatic text in both its form and content which still invites many critics and reviewers to an infinite range of interpretations finding in it a striking departure from nineteenth century poetry and raising the flag of modernism and postmodernism. Its appearance in 1922 started a critical debate among critics who found it hard to place both because of the poet's complex artistic strategies and because of the poem's kaleidoscopic orchestrated structure. From this perspective, the present paper is mainly concerned with the poem’s kaleidoscopic structure highlighting the text's intertextuality, heterogeneity and multiculturalism. It seeks to re-read and investigate the poem from the perspective of Edward Said's Postcolonial theory proving that the poem’s encyclopedic structure achieves for the poet a form of Neo-Colonialism where the poet’s intellectual domination replaces the territorial one. The study concludes by showing that The Waste Land is an early example of postmodernism where the text becomes the poet’s Neo-empire.

Background: The development of innovative eco-sustainable bio-nano-composites materials based on cellulose nanomaterials obtained from agricultural waste such as rapeseed plant straw and polymeric materials with improved properties. At first, cellulose was extracted from rapeseed plant straw and cellulosic and no cellulosic materials were estimated. It was found that the rapeseed plant straw contained about 43.48 wt.% cellulosic materials and 56.52 wt.% no cellulosic materials. It was also found that the rapeseed plant straw content about 34.84 wt.% α- cellulose. Then, nano-cellulose was prepared by acid hydrolysis of α -cellulose obtained from rapeseed plant straw. Poly vinyl acetate (PVAc) was prepared by soap free emulsion polymerization of vinyl monomer. Natural rubber (NR) collected as latex was oxidized by KMnO4. Blends of NR and oxidized NR with PVAc of different compositions such as NR60/PVAc40, NR40/PVAc60, ONR60/PVAc40, ONR40/PVAc60 were prepared by mixing NR latex and PVAc emulsion and followed by drying in an oven at 60°C. Composites of NR60/PVAc40 and ONR60/PVAc40 reinforced nano-cellulose (NC) were also prepared in similar way. The blends and composites were then characterized by FTIR, SEM, and Tensile test (TS). FTIR analysis confirmed the oxidation of NR and shown the variation of the functional groups in the blends and composites compared with the FTIR spectrum of NR, ONR and PVAc. SEM study exhibited that the nano-cellulose were dispersed within NR/PVAc and ONR/PVAc blends matrices with a little agglomeration. The tensile test results showed that the strength in composites was increased due to the reinforcing effect of nano-cellulose (NC). Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the Preparation and characterization of binary blends of NR and oxidized NR with PVAc. Methods: This is an observational study. The study used to be carried out in the admitted patient’s Department of Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Islamic University, Kushtia-7003, Bangladesh. The duration of the period from Data was entered in MS Excel and Statistical analysis was done using SPSS trial version. Results: This study shows that the according to Constituent, Cellulose was 43.4822%, Alpha-Cellulose were 34.8427% and Cellulose were 8.6395%. And according to Source, Rice Straw were 32.15% %, Sugarcane were 41-43%, Rye Straw were 31.8-42.64%, Corn Stalks were 29.80% and Wheat Straw were 34-40%. Conclusion: Novel eco-friendly bio-nano-composites substances primarily based on renewable and sustainable assets namely natural rubber (NR) and nano-cellulose received from rapeseed plant straw as properly as poly vinyl acetate (PVAc) have been developed. In order to enhance the interfacial interactions amongst the composite factors such as NR, PVAc and NC, oxidation of the NR latex was once carried out by way of KMnO4 before blending mixing with PVAc emulsion and NC suspension.

Humor is one of the main sources of entertainment in the media, such as YouTube. Mrnigelng is a comedian who uses Uncle Roger’s persona to give criticism to western cooks that try to make Asian dishes humorously in YouTube. This study aims to examine the verbal humor found in Mrnigelng video entitled “Uncle Roger DISGUSTED by this Egg Fried Rice Video (BBC Food)”. By employing Shades verbal humor classifications and Attardo General Theory of Verbal Humor, this study analyzes the types of verbal humor used in the object and how they are generated. The result of this study shows that there are eight types of verbal humor found in the object: Pun, Riddle, Joke, Satire, Farce, Sarcasm, Tall Tale, and Wit. Based on the result, it can be seen that Nigel primarily uses Satire to tease an English cook and to prevent his jokes from being morally unacceptable.

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.

Schiff bases are regarded as “privileged ligands” due to their capability to form complexes with a wide range of transition metal ions yielding stable and intensely colored metal complexes. In this study, equimolar amounts of 4-methyl-5-imidazolecarboxaldehyde and thiosemicarbazide were combined and the Schiff base 4-methyl-5-imidazolecarboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone was prepared as a new bidentate complexing agent. The synthesized ligand was reacted with palladium (II) and platinum (II) ions yielding air-stable complexes. For characterization purpose, mass spectra and x-ray analysis of the ligand and infrared spectra, electronic spectra, thermal analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and 13-carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra studies were carried out on the obtained ligand and its complexes. The characterization data showed that the ligand acts as a bidentate coordinate to the metal ions through azomethine nitrogen and sulfur atom. An in vitro antimicrobial investigation was also carried out for the free ligand and its metal complexes against four bacteria; Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive), Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium (Gram-negative) and one Fungi; Candida albicans. The results showed that the antimicrobial activity of the prepared complexes showed higher activity than the free ligand.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic situation, not only Indian Physical Education class management system but also the worldwide Physical Educational sector was highly affected by the COVID-19 panama situation. Many researchers are starting their research work on how to minimize the educational gaps. As a result for research, we have entered the online learning, E-learning, Virtual learning, Web Based Instructions modern digital revolution system. This work presents a study about using online educational platforms in institutions. Physical education classes student’s worldwide challenge technological, individual, domestic, and institutional and community barriers. Most frequently meet difficulties modified their learning style, having to perform responsibility at home and insufficient network connection between teachers-learners. They entry innovation physical education classes student play a significant roles in addressing this challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic situation and beyond. But despite the considerable growth & development of digital technology physical education and sports, we have little evidence about the use and outcomes of these modern technologies. Thus, the aim of this study was to document how e-learning technologies and pedagogical methods were, engaged physical education and sports, the challenges and successes associated with this approach, and possible ways to improve.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric malignancy, accounting for nearly 75% of all newly diagnosed leukemias and 25% of all malignancies in childhood. The Philadelphia chromosome-positive Ph+ is a rare subtype of ALL, considered one of its poorest subgroups, and accounts for 3-5% of pediatric ALL. Dentists should acquire some background information about leukemia and its oral manifestations for better dental care. Commonly reported oral manifestations include regional lymphadenopathy, mucous membrane petechiae and ecchymoses, gingival bleeding, gingival hypertrophy, pallor, and non-specific ulcerations. In this case report, we aim to raise awareness among dentists and discuss the orthodontic management of a pediatric patient with Ph+ ALL. The patient was cleared by her treating physician, and treatment was done in the dental chair. Treatment included restorations of all carious teeth, reinforcement of oral hygiene, a series of removable appliances to correct the anterior cross-bite, and in-office bleaching.

Background: The three Hill Tract Districts are highly malaria transmission areas in Bangladesh and intensified coverage of LLINs to reduce the number of malaria cases. Information of the bionomics of disease vectors and biting behavior is more essential to take appropriate vector control measures. The bionomics study was carried out after approximately 10 years back (2005-2006), if there any changes in vector behavior after introducing the long lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) in malaria endemic areas. Method: Three sites were selected based on the number of last several years reported cases and malariogenic potentials including geographical condition, altitude, latitude, presence of vectors, availability of breeding sources, favorable temperature, humidity, rainfall and other possible risk factors. Mosquitoes were collected through the human and animal landing from outdoor and indoor, Pythrum Spray sheet collection, morning resting collection form human dwelling and cattle shed. Results: Mosquitoes were collected through the hand aspirator and Pyrethrum spray sheet collection during day and night time. A total of 8078 Anopheles mosquitoes, 20 specie were collected, out of that 3858 (47.76 %) are An. vagus is the most abundant followed by An. willmori 965 (11.95), An. nigerrimus 848 (10.50%), An. kochi 734 (9.09%), An. barbirostris 444 (5.50%), An. jamesii 367 (4.54 %), An. philippinensis 182 (2.25), A subpictus 163 (2.02%), An. annularis 135 (1.67%), the most virulent vector An baimaii 72(0.89), An culicifacies 51 (0.64%), An. minimus 26 (0.32%). Conclusion: The main malaria vectors A baimaii (=dirus) has been collected from 19.18 to 02.30 hrs and the pick biting period is identified 20.30 to 21.30 hrs and 21.30 to 22.30 The early biting of the An baimai indicate its behavioural changes. A vagus prevalence was higher among the collected anopheline populations in all three places.
