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.

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.

Background: Partograph is a simple, of low cost but most important tool for record of progress of labour In the developing country like ours, where both pregnancy and maternal mortality rate is so high, the use of this inexpensive partograph is essential. Objective: To assess the importance of partographic control of labour in preventing prolongs labour and its consequences, thereby decreasing maternal morbidity and mortality and improvement of neonatal outcome. Method: This study was done in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Institute of Child and Mother Health, Matuail, Dhaka. Total 196 patients were included in this study. Data were collected by predesigned data collection sheet. Data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 14. Result: 74% of these patients had spontaneous vaginal delivery, 7.14% required assisted delivery (forceps or ventouse) and 18.9% needed caesarean section. Caesarean section was done in 18.9% patients because of fetal distress (32.4%) and prolonged labour (67.6%) due to malrotation and cephalopelvic disproportion. Patients with non-engaged head in labour required more intervention than who had engaged head. With the use of partograph, unnecessary interventions were reduced. It was found that 66.7% of the patients were delivered within 7 hours and all patients were delivered within 10 hours from active phase of labour. Thus prolonged labour and its consequences, such as obstructed labour and ruptured uterus, can be avoided by using partograph. In 100% of the patients, crossing the action line in partograph required interference, but 92.5% within alert line of partograph delivered vaginally spontaneously and 7.5% required assisted delivery (forceps or ventouse). When IDR was 1 cm/hr 85.1% women delivered spontaneously. When IDR was <0.4 cm/hr, 100% of patients required some kind of interference. Thus, the maintenance of partograph in labour enables the obstetricians to recognize very early dystocic labour and act accordingly. Conclusion: With the help of a partogram, time of delivery can be estimated and if the progress is slow, an appropriate interference at the right time can be instituted before the labour becomes dangerously protracted. IDR very helpful in making early decisions about the prognosis for the type of labour. With the use of partogram and its scientific application, the result showed that operative interventions were reduced, duration of labour was within normal limit and there was no obstructed labour and no maternal or perinatal mortality.

Background: Use of several anesthetic agents to induce anesthesia is not new and they are used to achieve different effects such as sedation, muscle relaxation and pain relief. Propofol has been accepted as an alternative to thiopentone for intravenous induction and is commonly used as an inducing agent and its action is more rapid. Objective: To compare co-induction with a small dose of ketamine is a better option compared to midazolam in reducing induction dose of propofol. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind and interventional study conducted at Department of Anaesthesia, Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH), Matuail, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January to December-2019. Fifty two adult patients undergoing elective surgery to be performed under general anesthesia were randomized to receive 0.3 mg/kg of Ketamine or 0.03 mg/ kg of Midazolam intravenously as co-induction agent. A minute after administration of co-induction agent, anesthesia was induced with Propofol 40 mg bolus then 10 mg every 10 seconds until the loss of verbal response. The hemodynamic response at 0, 1, 2, 5 minutes respectively and the induction dose of Propofol were noted. Results: A total of 52 patients (n=26 in each group) who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. The patients where between age group of 20 years to 71 years and weight of 40 kg to 80 kg and had ASA physical status 1. As there were no significant differences in age, sex, weight and ASA physical status of patients, between the two groups, both of the groups were comparable. The mean arterial pressure heart rates were significantly lower at 1, 2 and 5 minutes in midazolam group. However, mean arterial pressure and heart were within the physiological range in both the groups. Propofol dose requirement for induction between the two groups was similar (p>0.05) but co-induction significantly decreased the induction dose of Propofol as compared to standard recommended dose for induction. Conclusion: Our study showed that hemodynamic variables were maintained within the physiological range with midazolam and ketamine co-induction. However, lesser degree of decrease in mean arterial pressure was seen with ketamine but the heart rate was higher. A similar reduction of induction dose of propofol was achieved with both the drugs.

The stomach is one of the frequent sites of metastasis from invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. The clinical presentation and the endoscopic findings for metastasis carcinoma are nonspecific and may mimic that of a primary gastric tumor. The distinction between these two neoplasms may be very difficult but essential as the basis of the treatment is different. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses are the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis of the primary site. We report the case of a 68-yearold patient with metastatic breast cancer mimicking a primary stomach cancer.

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.

Background: Using an evidence-based guideline for obstetric risk assessment in the primary and secondary healthcare settings in Nigeria has been shown to aid appropriate referral cascade of patients to tertiary centres. Aim: To assess the impact of inappropriate obstetric risk assessment and late referral to tertiary care facilities in Rivers State on perinatal morbidity and mortality. Material and methods: The study was of prospective cross-sectional design involving 475 patients who were referred from primary and secondary healthcare facilities to the labour ward of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital in Nigeria. The appropriateness of their obstetric risk assessment and referral cascade to a tertiary centre was assessed, using a preformed evidence-based guideline and the results were associated with the perinatal morbidity and mortality. Data were analysed using Epi Info 2020. Results: The perinatal outcome in women that needed to be referred in the first trimester to tertiary centres was worse than that in those women who were appropriately referred and the differences were statistically significant in terms of birthweight less than 2500 grams [170(54.66%) versus 8(24.24%), X2 = 9872 p<0.002]; birth asphyxia [78(19.02%) versus 0(0%), X2 =7.926 p<0.0003]; admission to SCBU [85(20.73%) v 0(0)%); X2=8.916 p<0.0001] and foetal death [77 (18.78%) v 0(0%); X2=7.787 p<0.0003r]. The differences were also worse in terms of the number of patients who had preterm birth at 28-37 weeks, FGR and large for date (LFD) babies but the differences were not statistically significant. Furthermore, the perinatal outcome in women that needed to be referred in the first trimester to tertiary centres was also worse than that in those who needed an earlier referral to tertiary centres and the differences were statistically significant in terms of birth asphyxia (X2=2.341, p<9.045); admission to SCBU (X2=2.699, p<0.055) and foetal death (X2=2.291, p<0.047). The differences were also worse in terms of the number of patients who had preterm births, neonatal birth weight, LFD babies and FGR but not statistically significant. Conclusion: Perinatal morbidity and mortality were worse in patients who needed to be referred to a tertiary centre from a primary and secondary healthcare facilities than in those who were appropriately referred and those that needed an earlier referral. There is therefore an urgent need for adoption of evidence-based guideline for obstetric risk assessment and referral cascade in Nigeria.

Article 88 of Law Number 19 of 2003 jo. SOE Minister Regulation Number PER-02/MBU/7/2017 stipulates that BUMN companies (State Owned Enterprises) are required to implement PKBL (Partnership and Community Development Programs). The obligation to implement PKBL is basically intended to be able to contribute in the effort to empower micro and small businesses in Indonesia. This study discusses the effectiveness of the implementation of PKBL at PT Jasa Raharja (Persero) Lampung Branch and the obstacles faced in implementing PKBL in an effort to empower micro and small businesses in Lampung. This research is an empirical normative legal research with a descriptive type of research as well as an applied normative approach (applied law approach). The results of the study indicate that in the context of empowering micro and small businesses, PT Jasa Raharja (Persero) Lampung Branch has implemented a Partnership Program (PK) which is distributed in 2 (two) forms, namely loans to finance business capital and guidance to fostered partners. Meanwhile, the Community Development Program (PBL) has also been implemented and distributed in 3 (three) forms, namely in the fields of education and training, community social assistance, and worship facilities. In the implementation of PKBL, obstacles were found, namely the problem of refunding funds from several fostered partners that were not smooth. Another obstacle is the distance between the place of business or the location of the program which is quite far from the office of PT Jasa Raharja (Persero) Lampung Branch so that it results in not being able to optimally carry out field surveys or provide guidance to each fostered partner or to all fostered partners.

Background: Abortion is defined as the loss or termination of a pregnancy before 20 weeks of gestation or when the fetus weighs less than 500 g. Induced abortion is defined as the use of medications or surgical intervention to stop pregnancy after implantation but before the embryo or fetus has become independently viable. The purposeful termination of a pregnancy, known as induced abortion, is one of the most common gynecological treatments. In this study, attempts have been made to show the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of patients. Aim of the study: The study aimed to assess the outcome of a patient after induced abortion. Methods: It was a prospective observational study. The study was conducted at the Department of obstetrics and gynecology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during May-Oct'2007 from all induced abortion cases admitted in different maternity units, 80 cases are randomly selected for the study. Proper ethical consent was taken from the concerns. All necessary investigation was done, and necessary pieces of information were noted in a preformed data collection sheet. Finally, the results were analyzed and presented in different tables using a computer and the SPSS database. Result: In this study, it has been seen that around 45.5% of gynecology patients are of abortion, and the incidence of induced abortion was 16% among all gynecological admission. The majority of abortion cases (58.75%.) were conducted by untrained persons. Among the patients, 8.75% had adequate knowledge about MR, while 51.25% had unreliable or incorrect information regarding MR. 55% of cases had used contraceptives. A total of 76.25% of patients got admission within 1 month of their complications. Among all cases, 92.5% were improved while the death rate was 7.5%. Amongst 23 specimens of high vaginal swab culture 15 (65.22%) patients showed growth of Escherichia coli, 3 (13.5%) of staphylococcus, 3 (13.5%) of pseudomonas, 1 (4.34%) of protus, 1 (4.34%) of klebsiella. Conclusion: All this can be reduced by improving socioeconomic condition, educational status, popularizing family planning, and modernization of existing laws in relation to abortion.
