Besides the generic product was found to be biologically equivalent to the reference product regarding their kinetic behavior.

Libraries are competing with all the departments in their universities for resource allocation, even as universities continue to experience reduction of funding from the government every year. In addition, many public university libraries in Kenya lack strategic plans to offer direction as they are said to be difficult to develop, expensive exercise for the organizations and time consuming. The purpose of the study was to investigate the existence of strategic plans in public university libraries in Kenya. The study used descriptive survey research design and mixed method approach. The study population comprised 277 participants drawn from public universities in Kenya. A sample of 134 respondents was picked. Simple random sampling was used to select 124 library staff while purposive sampling was used to select 10 respondents comprising Deputy Vice Chancellors and Finance Officers. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data. The findings revealed that most university libraries do not have strategic plans. They rely on those of their parent institutions. It was established that official emails and meetings were the most used channels of informing staff and stakeholders about the existence of strategic plans in their institutions. The study will be significant in establishing models for strategic planning in pubic university libraries in the country.

Introduction: This study aimed to understand the perception of providers of the Mama Mosalisi health and maternity center perceive the rights of parturients and to explore their expectations. Method: We conducted a descriptive qualitative exploratory phenomenological study, the data collection was done through individual face-to-face interviews with 10 providers of the Maman Mosalisi Health Center (nurses, laboratory technicians, doctors, midwives), worker in the maternity ward. Results: Providers generally have a positive perception, characterized by the recognition of the rights of parturients. They affirm that it is important to respect the rights of the parturients because this respect makes it possible to avoid the bad course of the childbirth; to gain the confidence of parturients; to increase the clientele and the receipts in the structure; leads to conscientious work; and contributes to the reduction of mortality. In their experiences, service providers encounter several difficulties in the exercise of their profession; but they also recognize their failure to respect the rights of parturients, they feel this in the form of guilt. Finally, they expect managers to improve working conditions in their structure, provide for self-assessment sessions, that the State take charge of them in everything, that the organizations involved strengthen their capacities through continuous training, that researchers sensitize the public in general and parturients in particular on their rights which they are unaware of, in order to be able to claim them and reframe the practices of providers. Conclusion: These results plead in favor of concerted interventions between political and health decision-makers, the partners involved and the providers for the promotion of respectful maternity care in order to contribute to the reduction of maternal and infant mortality.

Background: The Education system has taken a 180-degree paradigm shift since Covid-19 wrapped up the prevailing global system. Now educational system used made electronic communication devices the prerequisite. Not only were the students, parents, and teachers dragged out of their comfort zone to learn and stretch their expertise in the digitalization of education and work. The endeavor has brought us to set standards and meet the needs of new standers. This study aimed to discover the suggestions of students and faculty to deal with the resentment that is being experienced with this online facade.

Ethical approval was obtained from Ethical committee CMH Lahore Medical College and Institute of Dentistry (CMH LMC & IOD). Verbal informed consent was obtained. Self-administered questionnaires were given to the participants. Results: E-Learning opportunities need to be taught explicitly. Modern tools are the need of time. The faculty needs to understand student psychology as well as the application of modern tools and gadgets. Conclusions: E-learning posed a technological divide among the faculty members and students. The pandemic allowed us an opportunity to explore the realms of the digital world and expand our horizons to challenge the already existing medical education system, curriculum, and mode of its execution.

Introduction: Iron deficiency represents a spectrum ranging from iron depletion to iron deficiency anaemia. In iron depletion, the amount of stored iron is reduced but the amount of transport and functional iron may not be affected. Iron deficiency is a major problem worldwide especially in women of reproductive age. Objectives: This study was designed to compare efficacy of two commonly used oral iron preparations among anemic pregnant women in private chamber of gynecologists and outdoor of Rajshahi Medical college hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Methods: We conducted analysis of data collected from Pregnant women between 18 to 40 years of age, >8 weeks of gestation, having iron deficiency anaemia (serum hemoglobin levels <10 gm/dl or serum ferritin <30μg/l). The patients were divided into 2 groups (n=30) each and treated with Ferrous fumarate and carbonyl iron respectively. Hemoglobin gm/dl and serum Ferritin ng/dl were recorded after the interval of 3 months from baseline. Data was analyzed using SPSS 16. Efficacy variables between groups calculated using Chi square and T- test. Results: We observed that patients treated with Ferrous Fumarate (FF) showed significant rise in Hb 0.69(±0.83) which was greater than that of Carbonyl iron (CI) group 0.07(±1.11) g/dl. Mean (± SD) rise of serum ferritin was significantly higher in FF group (55.45 ±34.66) as compared to CI group (19.88 ±15.33) (t=5.14, df =58, P<0.001). Conclusion: It can be concluded that, ferrous fumarate still can be considered better effective medication than Carbonyl iron for the treatment of Iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy.

The quality of teaching shapes the future of students and prepares them to be a responsible citizen. Therefore, all efforts to improve the quality of education are dependent on the instructional competence of teachers and their capacity to undertake the various important roles and functions. These endorses the need for teachers to embrace concrete mechanisms of enhancing their instructional competences to constantly innovate and adapt to dynamic student needs for their Competency-based mastery. In this regard interrelation of instructional competency with teachers’ performance appraisal and development is of interest because of its relevance and vitality in endorsing a pedagogical culture which resonates with education quality despite the teacher’s negative perception. However, there is a dearth of literature explaining whether the two major approaches to teacher evaluation namely value-added measures and standards-based evaluations affect their instructional competence providing a gap for the current review. From the review value-added measures and standards-based evaluations significantly affects instructional competence despite their various limitations. Value added measures can enhance the instructional competence of the teacher courtesy of the synergy amongst collaborative learning communities can assess the evidence of student learning based on the test scores for effective teaching.The headteachers within the policy frameworks should cooperate with the teachers in determination of standards which should be realistic, viable and reliable in addressing instructional competence. However, performance appraisal, might have catastrophic consequences if it is carried out without clear objectives.

Background: Sick sinus syndrome (SSS), also known as sinus node dysfunction (SND), is a disorder of the sinoatrial (SA) node caused by impaired pacemaker function and impulse transmission producing a constellation of abnormal rhythms. Sick Sinus Syndrome is a highly relevant clinical entity, being responsible for the implantation of the majority of electronic pacemakers worldwide. Case Summary: An 80-year-old patient with a recent diagnosis of atrial fibrillation after a syncopal attack, presented to our clinic complaining of new onset lightheadedness. Following a pre-syncopal attack in our clinic, extensive analysis was performed and showed no underlying causes for the light headedness. A 24-hour Holter monitoring was performed and demonstrated signs of sick sinus syndrome with unusually prolonged sinus pauses without an escape rhythm. Urgent correction with permanent dual chamber pacemaker was performed with an uneventful postoperative recovery. Discussion: In sick sinus syndrome, cessation of sinus rhythm (sinus arrest) for short intervals without an escape rhythm, or longer periods of pause with replacement of sinus rhythm by an atrial or junctional rhythm are commonly seen. However, recurrent prolonged ventricular asystolic episodes are infrequently encountered and an extremely rare cause of syncope. It is known that triggers like anaesthesia, certain drugs or epilepsy can unmask sinus node dysfunction, which then manifests as significant atrial dysrhythmias and “rarely” asystole but long asystolic episodes of such duration were never reported in the absence of any trigger in patients with sick sinus syndrome. Permanent pacemaker placement is the recommended treatment for sick sinus syndrome.

Introduction and Research Problem: The study aims to illustrate the role of language in depicting and representing identity in relation to different social classes. In the African American sitcom of the study at hand, different social classes of the same black community/race are represented in the portrayal of different characters, in term of their language use as well as other behavioral aspects. However, since social classes, apart from being socially structured, are the root source of so many different stereotypes. Materials and Methods: A sample is taken from the African American sitcome: The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The reserchers has watched the whole six seasons periorly. However, for the matter of the study at hand, 15 episodes are selected specifically form the twenty-five episode long first season which specifically chosen because it includes the introduction and fundamental characteristics of each characters’ personality together with the role they play and the function they perform. Summary of Results: The portrayals of the characteristics of each character weight heavily on common stereotypes related to the social classes that characters belong to. Conclusion and Recommendations: Upon analyzing the behaviors of the main characters of the African American Sitcom, we come to the conclusion that, characters’ portrayals match the notions of such stereotypes. Yet, through the different acts of the characters, we realized, that different misconceptions of stereotyped images were revealed to be misconceived.

Plant based traditional health care is one of the ancient remedies used to prevent and treat different health related disorders. Due to increasing cost of medicine in the modern era, people are now moving towards the utilization of ancient ethno medicinal plants based remedies to prevent and treat diseases as well as to maintain their health. Curcuma longa, commonly known as turmeric has been used since ancient times as ethno medicinal plant due to its pharmacological and therapeutic potential. The rhizome of this plant is commonly used to prevent the lifestyle related disorders. Its biologically active components can also be extracted and utilized directly to enhance the efficacy. Purpose of this review is to highlight the importance of turmeric as it contains various biologically active components that are beneficial in prevention and treatment of various health related disorders. Turmeric has been demonstrated to exhibit anti-cancer, immunostimulant, skin protection, ulcer treating, anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-oxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic, hepatoprotective, renal protection and hematological parameters maintenance properties.
