Context: Children are vulnerable people who in most cases are exposed to domestic accidents. These accidents occur most frequently in children under 15 years of age. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of domestic accidents in children under 15 years of age hospitalized in Kinshasa. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted in Kinshasa among 80 children who were victims of domestic accidents between 2019 and 2020. A document analysis tool was used to collect data. Results: These domestic accidents affected more children under 5 years of age (median = 3.5) with a sex ratio of 1.3. They are mainly burning (38.8%) with boiling water as the origin (64.5%) as well as trauma (37.5%) following a fall (86.6%). They occurred more during the day (56.3%), in the playground (47.5%), or in the kitchen (32.5%). These accidents affected the head (35%) and the limbs. Wounds (42.5%) were the dominant type of injury, followed by fractures (32.5%). 81.2% of accidents were managed by health personnel and 40% left lameness consequently. Conclusion: Domestic accidents are common in Kinshasa. Raising the awareness of mothers and those in charge of their care would contribute effectively to their reduction or better prevention. These results constitute a basis for the development of a policy aimed at reducing these accidents.

Skin is not only a protecting covering of our whole body but also it reflects the physical and mental health. Mukhdushika is the most common skin ailment in the teenage of youngsters, it disfigure the face. Acne vulgaris is chronic inflammatory condition of the pilosebacous follicles and caused by the Propionibacteriun acnes. It is correlated with Mukhdushika, a disease mention in Ayurveda. Microbial infections are the leading cause of diseases and disease related mortality. Non–judicious intake of antibiotic is the serious concern for antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the ability to successfully treat infectious diseases across the world. Among the most common skin pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram-negative pathogen) has high antibiotic resistance rate and Staphylococcus aureus is another most common human pathogens that leads to many types of local infections such as wound, post-operative infection and also for prosthetic infections. S. aureus is also known for its ability to resist antibiotics such as penicillin, methicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin and vancomycin, so there is a need of different treatment to overcome the problem of AMR. Similar problem is also arises in the treatment of acne by antibiotics. Tarunyapidikahara Lepa is an Ayurvedic formulation consisting of equal amount of Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa Roxb), Dhanakya (Coriandrum sativum Linn.) and Vacha (Acorus calamus Linn) prescribed for topical application in Mukhdusika in renowned text Chakradatta, Kshudra Roga Chikitsa. This appraisal summarizes the antimicrobial potential of each ingredient present in the Tarunyapidikhara Lepa.

Crab meat undergoes rapid microbial deterioration after death, placing it in the category of highly perishable sea foods (the Crayfish and lobsters alike) Thus, this affects its economic value. Drying is one of the techniques that will provide consumers with ready-to-use dried crabmeat to incorporate into daily meals such as soups, sauces, and so on. This study thus, investigated the drying behavior of the crab on thin-layers. A laboratory convective oven dryer was used as the heating source, on the temperature (range of 60 - 100°C) applied in a varying manner on multiples of 10℃. The layer thickness was about 45-mm. as with high moisture sea foods, the drying profile showed a typical falling rate period with no distinct constant rate period for all the temperature levels used in this work. Moisture loss (diffusion) data obtained from the experiments were fitted to three popular semi-empirical thin-layer models of Lewis, Henderson-Pabis, and Page, and their suitability was validated using statistical parameters such as Root Mean Square,( R2), X2 and RSME. This was done to select thin-layer model that would suitably describe the drying kinetics of the samples over the range of temperature levels chosen in this work. Consequently, the Henderson-Pabis model and that of Page model were taken to have reliably predicted the drying behavior of the samples at the chosen temperature levels.

One of the most important things on a motorcycle is the frame. The motorcycle frame is a structure that supports almost all of motorcycle components, such as the engine, front and rear suspension, fuel tank, and others components. The purpose of this research is to determine the cause of the failure of the motorcycle frame in based on actual conditions in the field. In this study, a case study was carried out on a sport-type motorcycle frame with 150cc engine capacity, using a trellis-type frame, and had traveled 10,000 km as indicated on the odometer. The results of the case study and analysis on the failed part, it was found that the main cause of the failure of the motorcycle frame or frame body was due to the bolt flange on the engine hanger having a torque below the standard. This happens due to consumers who make modifications and add accessories. So the torque below the standard or low torque causes the frame body to break as a result of the reduced rigidity of the frame body structure and also as a result of repeated dynamic loads on the welding area, which is included in the HAZ area, which is the weakest part of the welding joint. Failure or fracture can occur as a result of the continuous load received on the frame structure, resulting in fatigue failure. The failure also occurred at the low torque bolt flange earlier.

Smog is a term used to describe pollution suspended in humid air. It's made up of different- sized dust particles, as well as non-metal oxides, organic compounds, and heavy metals. Apart from smoking cigarettes, one of the changeable variables leading to the development of respiratory diseases is exposure to toxic compounds dispersed in the air. . Smog is a visible form of air pollution that arises due to the over-emissions of some primary pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hydrocarbons, SO, NO, and NO2 which further react in the atmosphere and give rise to toxic and carcinogenic secondary smog components. There are six categories of airborne chemicals that have a negative impact on public health and cause disease. Ozone, particulate matter (PM) of various dimensions - PM2.5, PM2.5–10, PM10, nitrogen – all has important implications. Lead, carbon dioxide, Sulphur dioxide, and carbon monoxide Small dust particles (PM10 and PM2.5) are given special attention since they can enter the lower respiratory tract. The page examines the impact of atmospheric pollutants on both the development and exacerbation of the disease, in addition to detailing the composition of smog and sources of air pollution. Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, respiratory infections, and other respiratory tract illnesses can all cause symptoms. Lung cancer is a type of cancer that affects. Some of the legislative methods used in various nations to reduce exposure to harmful air pollution are presented.

Cystic lymphangioma is a rare malformative congenital tumor of the lymphatic vessels. It is commonly seen in children and mainly occurs in the head and cervicothoracic region. Abdominal and especially retroperitoneal involvement is rare in adults. This tumor is often asymptomatic but it can be manifested by mass effect with polymorphic symptomatology depending on the location and size. Digestive haemorrhage due to retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma with posterior duodenopancreatic infiltration in an elderly patient is an exceptional manifestation of a benign tumor. We report a case of retro-duodenopancreatic cystic lymphangioma revealed by gastrointestinal bleeding in a 65 year-old man who was treated by tumor resection with organ preservation. The recovery was complicated by a duodenal fistula with spontaneous dry-up within 17 days, the patient left the hospital in 3 weeks.

Research is one of the means by which we seek to discover the truth. It is based upon the tacit assumption that the world is a cosmos whose happenings have causes and are controlled by forces and relationships that can be expressed as laws and principles. Discovery of these controls of nature provides us with a hunting license to search for ways of controlling our environment. To search for truth in a scientific way research methodology provides principles to refine our common beliefs through research activity that establishes rules of logical and appropriate reasoning. In order to apply the scientific research methodology properly in research work, the researcher must have a clear basic concept of research methodology & methods that will ensure to find potential research results. This paper deals with the conceptuality of the research methodology like the meaning of the research, objectives of research, motivation in research and types of research. The basic approaches to research, research methods versus methodology, research process i.e. formulation of the research problem, extensive literature survey, development of working hypotheses, preparing the research design, execution of the project, analysis of the data, hypothesis-testing, generalizations and interpretations and preparation of the report have also been described along with the criteria of good research and problems encountered by researchers in India.

The sudden outburst of the pandemic COVID-19, in 2019, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), had caught all by surprise, affected the entire world, and took the lives of many. This led to a desperate need for vaccines and India was one of the 11 countries that went ahead for the discovery of vaccines with manufacturing and export of the same. The first phase of vaccination was directed towards the frontline workers, including dentists, as they were at high risk. As vaccines have faced challenges in acceptability, there is a need to create awareness. The objectives are 1. Assess post-vaccination side-effects among dental professionals after both doses. 2. Assess any particular oral manifestations that can occur post-vaccination. The COVID vaccine was administered to all the healthcare workers of a private Dental College, Mysuru. The first dose was given in January, 28 days later the second dose was given. A questionnaire was developed and sent by email to be filled by those who were vaccinated to record and assess their experiences post-vaccination. A total of 141 responses were acquired and subjected to statistical analysis to evaluate their experiences and challenges. SPSS 22 was used for statistical analysis. The frequency, mean and mode were calculated of the acquired responses. We can conclude that in the absence of any co-morbidity and good immunity, the effects post-vaccination is mild, which can be subsided by taking appropriate symptomatic medications.

Numerous studies investigate the deterrent effect of capital punishment on homicide levels, but no published study conducted to date focuses explicitly on the impact of capital punishment on terrorist activity. In addition, no research evaluates the possible deterrent effect of a mass execution. This study examines the influence of the mass execution of 47 terrorists by the Saudi government, which took place on January 2, 2016, on the frequency of terrorist attacks originating from within Saudi Arabia. Using missile and drone attacks that were launched from outside of Saudi Arabia as a statistical control variable, results generated in an interrupted time-series analysis show that the mass execution decreased the frequency of within-country terrorist attacks by approximately two attacks per month. Results further reveal that the Saudi military intervention in Yemen amplified within-country terrorist activity by nearly five attacks per month. These findings suggest that the use of capital punishment may prove to be useful in deterring terrorist attacks.

Different fabrics were prepared by plain weaving with the blended yarns made of etherified jute fibre in the ratio of 50:50 with cotton, rayon and polyester. The physical properties of fabrics from blended yarns have been compared with those of cotton fabrics made with the same calculation 30 tex yarns. The mechanical properties of these fabrics were determined to monitor their serviceability in practical use and to ensure their suitability as jute blended cotton and synthetic fabrics. The softness and handling characteristics presented by the blending length and flexible firmness of the blended fabrics were much more comparable to that of the cotton fabrics with the indented fabric structure. The strength properties of etherified jute blended fabrics showed that the durability and serviceability of these fabrics was not much less than that of cotton fabrics due to any stress and deformation during use. It has also been observed that the blending of etherified jute with cotton, rayon, polyester or any other flexible fiber improves the draping properties of the fabrics made from it and in actual use these fabrics have almost the same bright look and firmness of cotton fabrics.

The existence of corporate social responsibility is no longer a relevant issue in the midst of globalization. In fact, corporate social responsibility is a top priority for business leaders in all countries in order to build synergies between the business world and the community in which the company carries out its business activities. This study aims to (1) analyze the concrete forms of implementing corporate social responsibility at village credit institutions in Bali Province, especially on the social life of its customers, (2) analyze the legal basis for implementing corporate social responsibility at village credit institutions in Bali Province, (3 ) the extent to which compliance with the application and sanctions of customary law in realizing corporate social responsibility at village credit institutions in the province of Bali. This research case study uses an Ethnographic Research/Sociolegal Research approach and a statutory approach in a qualitative research paradigm at the Village Credit Institution in Bali Province. Respondents were determined using the snowbolling system technique for customers of village credit institutions and traditional leaders as well as the Hindu Religious Parisadha Council. Data analysis used qualitative analysis. The implementation of corporate social responsibility has generally been implemented in most of the Village Credit Institutions in Bali, but the orientation is more on increasing socio-religious culture. This obligation is prioritized over the existence of a traditional village/Pakeraman Village according to the embodiment of Tri Hita Karana, namely the harmony of life between others, the harmony of life with the Creator, and harmony with other creatures. This is a reflection of obedience to the implementation of religious law and local wisdom adopted as living law. This study recommends to legislators that the preparation of laws related to corporate social responsibility can adopt the local wisdom of the people of various ethnic groups in Indonesia. This local wisdom is reflected in community values that grow, live and develop in reality in society.
