The study investigated the performance of Costus lateriflorus bagasse ash and cement composite for stabilization of Laterite and clay soils from Ubeta-Ula-Ubie road in Ahoada West LGA of Rivers state, Nigeria. The soil samples were prepared and tested for variations in maximum dry density (MDD), optimum moisture content (OMC), consistency limits, California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS), maximum dry density (MDD), liquid limit (LL) and plasticity index (PI) of the stabilized laterite and clay soils decreased with increasing percentage of the bagasse ash composite, while optimum moisture content (OMC), plastic limit (PL) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) were increased with the proportion of bagasse ash. This study establishes that an appropriate proportion of bagasse ash content in soil stabilization would enhance the properties of soil suitable for pavement and road construction. Comparatively, bagasse ash performed better in Laterite soil than clay soil at optimum proportion of 0.75% and 7.5% cement composition.

Acne vulgaris is a common dermal ailment which is reported globally. Currently, a cross sectional survey (manual and online) in selective districts of Punjab region was conducted and it was concluded that disturbance in sebum production and frequent blockage of skin pores occur due to different potent factors which include improper dietary habits, side effects of medication, genetic complications, environmental conditions and lack of awareness of personal hygiene. Thus the future research efforts should be channelized to ensure provision of low coat and side effects free local pharmacognosal products for acne treatment along with its programmed general public awareness.

Food allergies are serious health issues around the globe but people often neglect them. In current survey, large and small both cities were randomly selected to determine prevalence of food allergies and obtained results showed that major sufferers are teenager. Whereas gender based comparison showed that females are at more verge of exposure than males and in addition to this, female patients also don’t take proper medication for recovery. The possible routes of allergens are intake of unhygienic water and improperly cooked food. Commonly reported symptoms are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and skin itching. So it is need of time to address these issues and finding of their remedies along with programed general public awareness to reduce prevalence of food allergies.

Background to the study: The use of insecticides have been encouraged in most Nigerian homes in the eradication of insects that could harm humans despite the side effects of exposure to these insecticides. The study aim was to examine the toxic effect of inhaled dichlorvos (DDVP) on the histological architecture of the testes of wistar rats on short-term exposure. Methods: Twenty (20) albino male wistar rats weighing 140g – 180g were recruited for this research and were randomly placed into four (4) groups of five (5) rats per group. Group 1 was control group, while groups 2 – 4 were given 10ml DDVP/90 ml distilled water – v/v, 20ml DDVP/80 ml distilled water – v/v and 40ml DDVP/60 ml distilled water – v/v, respectively. At completion of exposure, rats were anaesthetized with chloroform, sacrificed and their testes were harvested for routine histopathology procedure. The stained sections were morphologically evaluated and the pictures of the slides compared. Photomicrographs were obtained with the aid of Am-scope camera fitted on an Açu-scope microscope. Results: Results obtained from the control group showed that the testes presented with a normal histological make-up depicted by the presence of normal seminiferous tubules, no signs of germ cell distortions. However, experimental groups showed graded levels of degenerative changes in germinal layers of the seminiferous tubules as well as notable vacuolations. Conclusion: It can be concluded that prolonged exposure to dichlorvos inhalation could be toxic to the reproductive system of male wistar rats.

The purpose of this research is to analyze and examine: 1) the regulation of diversion requirements in the current juvenile criminal justice system is not based on the value of justice; 2) weaknesses in the regulation of diversion requirements in the juvenile criminal justice system which is currently not based on the value of justice; 3) reconstruction of diversion requirements regulations in the juvenile criminal justice system based on the value of justice. This research is a qualitative research, with a sociological juridical approach, descriptive analysis, using primary data and secondary data, using the Grand Theory: Lawrence M. Friedman's Legal System Theory and Pancasila Justice Theory; Middle Theory: Law Enforcement Theory Soerjono Soekanto; and Applied Theory: Progressive Legal Theory Satjipto Rahardjo. The research findings are: (1) The regulation of diversion requirements in the juvenile criminal justice system is not currently based on the value of justice because the regulation of diversion requirements in children's cases is contrary to the values of Pancasila justice, and in the perspective of legal norms, the diversion requirement with restrictions is punishable by imprisonment under 7 (seven) years is discriminatory compared to the case of adults who can mediate or peacefully are limited by criminal threats, (2) The weakness of the regulation on diversion requirements is not based on the value of justice, because the regulation on diversion requirements is regulated in Article 7 of Law Number 11 of the Year 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System is discriminatory between child cases and adult cases. (3) Reconstruction of the regulation on diversion requirements in Article 7 of Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Juvenile Criminal Justice System based on the value of justice, especially paragraph (2) whose initial phrase reads Diversion as referred to in paragraph (1) is carried out in the case of a crime committed: threatened with imprisonment under 7 (seven) years; and is not a repetition of a crime. Reconstructed into Diversion as referred to in paragraph (1) is carried out in the event that the crime committed is not a repetition of a crime.

Young people’s education has become, today, the first priority of national and international meetings or policies although most of them are dying of hunger, starvation, and during non-authorized immigration, resulting from unemployment and other forms of criminality and delinquency. To better understand and explain these enigmatic social issues so as to find out the real causes of the failure of educative strategies, including its negative consequences, as well as the required solutions for a better future, from the context of the novel, Psychoanalytic Criticism has been used through its psychological, human, social, sociological, political and economic dimensions, sharing exactly or not the writer’s perception. Very well educated or trained, talented young people, with secured employment for sustainable development, are expected contributions, in the end of this analytical and critical study.

This work conducted a study of language medium and the teaching of science and technology through the medium of mother-tongue in North-East and North-West Geo-Political Zones, Nigeria. a case study research design was used in collecting data for the study. We investigated some selected public primary school students in the two geo-political zones of the North-East and North-West. There are an estimated 100,000 primary school students in the two zones. Each zone is stratified along with the component. 18 schools were selected at random for the study from each geo-political zone. A minimum of 30 students were equally selected at random from each school from the zone under investigation. Questionnaires, oral interviews, and informal interactions were employed simultaneously to elicit information. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis which holds that our thoughts are shaped by our native languages; and that speakers of different languages, therefore, think differently was used as the theoretical framework of analysis. The work discovered among other things that the science and technology learning area has various challenges as pointed out by the participants. On the whole, the work concludes that the people’s language is not only part of their socio-cultural heritage; it is the natural medium of thought, expression, and communication within that culture.

Infertility is a growing issue that is encountered today with couples today around the globe. Different microbial floras are active in promoting infertility causing infections. Usually bacteria affects only males, only females or both males and females. Their modes of actions are different in affecting the human ability to reproduce offspring. Disturbance in natural microbial flora may result in serious urogenital tract impairment. These infections may be acquired after sexual contact or due to unhygienic practice. Sometimes people often face infertility due to sudden exposure of exogenous microbial pathogens either of gram-positive or gram-negative origin. The infectious sites include different organs of genital tract irrespective of gender. Cases of infertility due to microbial exposure are mostly reported from Africa, Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia and Central Eastern Europe. Though different strategic measures are taken to deal with these infertility complications still more low cost remedies and programed general public awareness is required.

Hemangiomas are one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors. Vascular tumors of the female genitalia are unusual and pedunculated vulvar hemangiomas are extremely rare .Usually they are asymptomatic and quite small in size. Here we report a rare case of pedunculated vulvar hemangioma in a 46 year old patient who presented in the gynecology department with a painless mass in vulva for duration of 2 years.

Introduction: Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is one of the major causes of mortality in children with estimated 1 million deaths every year. Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality seen in LRTI. The objective of study was to find association of hyponatremia (serum sodium<135meq/l) with severe LRTI. Prospective cross sectional study design was used for study. Settings: Pediatric Emergency, Ward and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH). Subjects: Children between 2 months to 16 years presenting with cough for less than 3 weeks, fast breathing and chest in drawing. Methods: Children between 2 month to 16 years of age having cough, fast breathing and chest in drawing admitted in emergency, ward or PICU of TUTH were screened and among them, children having pediatric respiratory severity score of 4-5 were enrolled in the study. Serum sodium was sent during admission and collected within 2 hours. Daily follow up was done to find need of respiratory support, duration to resolve hypoxia, total duration in hospital and final outcome of patient. Statistical test applied were Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: 47.5% of study population had hyponatremia, of whom 65.79% had mild hyponatremia 26.31% had moderate and 7.89% had severe hyponatremia. Association of hyponatremia with need of non rebreathing face mask (p=0.001), ventilatior (p=0.009), duration of hospital stay (p=0.047) were significant. The study also found the association of severity of hyponatremia with need of non rebreathing facemask (p=0.001), ventilator (p=0.01), outcome (p=0.001), duration of stay (0.002). Mean time to resolve hypoxia in children with hyponatremia (4.5 days) was longer compared to normal sodium (2.58 days). Four patients died during the study period and all of them had hyponatremia. Conclusion: Association of hyponaremia and severity of hyponatremia in severe LRTI with need of non-rebreathing face mask, ventilatior, outcome, duration of stay was significant.

Introduction: Usually, eclampsia is the commonest cause of convulsions in pregnancy next being epilepsy. Moreover, in developing countries like Bangladesh, perinatal condition in eclampsia is a major concern of infant injury. So, proper treatment planning and initiatives against eclampsia can save many lives by decreasing the total mortality and morbidity of child and mother. The aim of our study was to assess the perinatal outcomes of pregnant women with eclampsia in a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Rangpur Medical College, Rangpur, Bangladesh during the period from January 2020 to December 2020. Proper written consents form all the participants were obtained and the ethical committee of the mentioned hospital had approved the study before starting the intervention. In total 78 pregnant women with eclampsia were selected as the study population. A predesigned questioner was used in collecting patient data. All data were processed, analyzed and disseminated by using MS Office and SPSS version 23 as per need. Result: As final outcome we observed, there was not any case of multiple pregnancy or maternal mortality. Among total 78 fetus, cases of stillbirth (SB), early neonatal death (END), perinatal death (END + SB) and death after birth were found as 8%, 12%, 19% and 4% respectively. So, total case of neonatal death was found 35% whereas the survival rate was 65%. As neonatal complication among survived babies, frequencies of jaundice, septicemia and respiratory distress were found in 27%, 24% and 18% babies respectively who were noticeable. As maternal complication, cases of ICU admission, acute kidney injury and haemorrhagic stroke were found as 4%, 3% and 1% respectively. Conclusion: Stillbirth may be considered as the main component and prematurity may be considered as another important cause of perinatal mortality in obstetric management of delivery in pregnant mothers with eclampsia. Early referral of eclamptic patients, early resuscitative measures as well as good neonatal care can improve perinatal outcomes in such cases.

Commercial Papers (SBK) or often referred to as Commercial Paper (CP) are securities that are classified as promissory notes and appear in practice as an alternative to corporate funding. In 1995 Bank Indonesia issued Bank Indonesia Decree No: 28/52/KEP/DIR and Bank Indonesia Circular No: 28/49/UPG concerning Requirements for Issuance and Trading of Commercial Paper through Bank Indonesia. Then in 2017 Bank Indonesia revoked the decree and again issued Bank Indonesia Regulation (PBI) No: 19/9/PBI/2017 concerning the Issuance and Transaction of Commercial Securities in the Money Market. This study seeks to examine matters related to SBK or CP after the issuance of PBI NO: 19/9/PBI/2017, especially the problem of formal requirements for SBK as securities; the parties involved and their legal responsibilities in the SBK or CP transaction. This research is a normative legal research with a descriptive type that is sourced from legal materials, both primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials and analyzed qualitatively. The results of this study indicate that the formal requirements for SBK follow the provisions of the formal promissory note as stipulated in Article 174 and Article 175 of the KUHD. PBI No: 19/9/PBI/2017 does not stipulate other formal requirements, but stipulates the criteria for SBK (CP) to be issued for transactions through the Money Market. The parties involved are issuers, issuance support institutions, Bank Indonesia, transaction actors and transaction support institutions, administration and settlement of SBK transactions. Each of these parties has a legal responsibility, namely the issuer has legal responsibility in terms of payment of Commercial Securities issued. The issuance support institutions have legal responsibilities in protecting consumers (investors) while transaction actors, transaction support institutions, administration, and transaction settlements have the responsibility to create a credible SBK or CP market and trade.

Chancroid is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi and is characterised by necrotising genito-perineal ulcers which may be accompanied by inguinal lymphadenitis or bubo formation with possible spread to the thigh. We presented a rare case of a 23year old polytechnic undergraduate who presented to the hospital with complaints of extensive painful ulcer in her vulva for over ten (10) days. On culture of the swab from the ulcer, Haemophilus Ducreyi and E Coli sensitive to Ceftriazone, Ofloxacin and Gentamycin were isolated. Patient was treated with IV Ceftriazone for 5 days and Ciprofloxacin for 10 days with good recovery. The case highlighted the need for increased vigilance in managing genital ulcers in contemporary clinical practices and for carefulness in the choice of a sexual partner and practices among adolescents and young girls.
