Background: Mullerian agenesis also known as Mayer- Rokitansky- Kuster- Hauser Syndrome is a congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the uterus and upper part of vagina. Vagina is created or lengthened by non-surgical vaginal dilatation or surgical vaginoplasty to allow sexual function.We have been doing non-surgical vaginal dilatation facilitated initially by saline injection and sustained digital pressure in women with Mullerian agenesis for a few years. This was a follow up study with the purpose to evaluate the sexual function of these women. Method: We practiced a novel approach to quicken non- surgical dilatation of vagina. We interviewed women who received this treatment over cell phone after two months to four years. Result: A total fifteen women who had nonsurgical vaginal dilatation in our department were called over cellphone. Total 10 women could be reached.The age range of women was between 16 and 35 years. The frequency of intercourse was 3 to 5 times per week in couples living together. All eight women admitted of the experience of full genital performance during sexual intercourse and said they could provide pleasure to their partners. When asked about the presence of stable relationships and a good communication with the partners only five out of eight agreed. The reason behind strained relationship with husband was not sexual dysfunction but inability to conceive. Conclusion: Short term procedure of saline injection and sustained digital pressure under supervision can augment vaginal dilatation with vaginal dilators and lead to adequate sexual activity.

Corrosion of reinforcement embedded in concrete is considered as one of the main reasons for the degradation and deterioration of many existing reinforced concrete structures and this degradation effects has been seen as major challenges in structures founded in region with high concentration of salt as in the case of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. This study involves the coating of ficus sycomorus exudates/resin paste of plant trunks extract known as inhibitors directly on the reinforcing steel. The experiment aimed at determining the effectiveness in the use of eco-friendly and abundantly available materials in curbing the negative effect of corrosion attacks on reinforcing steel embedded in concrete structures and immersed in Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solutions by coating steel reinforcement with different thicknesses and experimentally tested to prevent corrosion attacks in the laboratory. The test specimens reflect the acute acidic level indicating the sea salt concentration level of the marine environment on reinforced concrete structures. The result showed that the decreased value in uncoated (corroded) represent the degree of corrosion that has to affect the bonding interaction between concrete and reinforcing steel, also, the negative values obtained in bond strength versus maximum slip showed that the reduction in slip was due to the effect of corrosion. The higher values obtained from coated members showed the potential and the effective interaction process in steel and concrete, results showed that the values of coated members are similar to that of controlled indicating the virtuous bonding characteristics. The result of weight loss for controlled samples are 100% indicating no weight loss, uncoated (corroded) samples negative values showed tremendous weight loss resulting from corrosion presence, and for coated samples, there are weight gain resulting from coating materials. Also, the effect of corrosive medial reduces the diameter of reinforcing steel after corrosion, the effect of corrosion formed pits which resulted to swollen rebar surface whereas coated and controlled maintained perfect diameter with an increasing diameter from coating thicknesses. Reduction in cross–sectional properties, weight loss was all seen in corroded samples resulting from damaging and destructive effect from corrosion manifestation while coated gained weight and as well as increased in cross-sectional properties. Clear examinations on the study and investigations, coated exudate/resin has demonstrated and shown to be good inhibitive material against corrosion.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete is one of the most significant problems affecting structures and infrastructure worldwide, especially coastal structures. This study investigated the direct application of exudates/resin extract of Lannea coromandelica as a potential inhibitive material to control and prevent the corrosion of steel bars embedded in concrete structures and exposed to high salinity and acidic prone environments. The extruded exudates / resin is extracted from the tree and layered to reinforcing steel of different thicknesses. The hardened concrete slab is completely immersed in a 5% sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution for 360 days with routinely checks, monitors and tested for 90 days, 180 days, 270 days, and 360 days of accelerated and corrosion process for comparative evaluation of both uncoated and coated samples. The maximum corrosion potential yields from the controlled and coated samples were -109.24mV and -114.16mV, indicating the relationship between corrosion potential and corrosion probability in the reference range 𝐸corr > −200mV. For non-coated samples, the calculated maximum value is -333.97mV, the result is within the reference value of the relationship between corrosion potential and corrosion probability of −350mV ≤ 𝐸corr ≤ −200mV indicates a high value range of 10% or less. The maximum calculated value of the controlled sample concrete resistance is 138.35% compared to the corroded and coated values of -56.56% and 153.43% and the maximum value of the control percentile difference is 24.97% compared to the corroded and coated value of 3.98% and 23.22%. The results of the controlled and layered concrete resistance samples obtained a maximum average value of 15.01kΩcm and 16.17kΩcm with a value of 10 < 𝜌 < 20 (low) compared to a corrosion value of 7.01kΩcm with a specification of 5 < 𝜌 < 10 (high) and with a reference range of the relationship between concrete resistance and corrosion probability and significant corrosion probability. The maximum computed percentile values of yield strength of controlled are 9.42% against corrode and coated values -8.03% and 9.57% respectively and the potential differential values of 0.71% controlled 0.71% corroded and 0.84% coated. The maximum computed percentile values of ultimate tensile strength of controlled are 1.68% against corrode and coated values -2.98% and 3.07% respectively and the potential differential values of 0.01% controlled, 0.00%% corroded, and 0.01% coated. Comparatively, the results of corroded samples showed reduction and decreased values in comparison of rebar diameter before and after induced accelerated corrosion test with values reduction percentile range from 0.038% to -0.895% and average ranges values from 11.98mm to 11.93mm. The reduction in average and percentile values showed that corrosion effects caused diameter reduction and cross-sectional area, fibre degradation, ribs reduction, and surface modifications whereas, exudates/resin coated members showed volumetric increase resulting from varying coating thicknesses. Conclusion: Summarized results showed that the effect of corrosion caused weight reduction/decreased in corroded samples as compared to coated with an exhibition of percentile and average value increase resulting in a volumetric minute increase from coating thicknesses.

Diversity, population structures and regeneration status of gum- and resin- producing woody species, were assessed in 116 sample plots, each measuring 400 m2 and established along line transects. The data were collected in two selected districts, namely, Sherkole and Kurmuk in Benishangul-Gumuz National Regional State, one of the gum and resin belts in western Ethiopia. The gum- and resin-producing woody species had 1.04 and 0.7 diversity and 0.576 and 0.49 evenness values at Kurmuk and Sherkole districts, respectively. They accounted for 26% and 46% of the density, 51% and 58% of the basal area and 32% and 53% of the Importance Value Index of all the woody species, respectively. The gum- and resin- bearing woody species exhibited three patterns of population structure. The first pattern suggests good reproduction abilities of the species coupled with good recruitment of seedlings and their subsequent continuous growth to replace older individuals over time, indicating stable regeneration. About 61% of the gum- and resin- bearing woody species fall under this category. The other two patterns indicate hampered regeneration status of the woody species. Heavy grazing, conversion to crop land by small scale farming, gold mining, recurrent fire and climate change were mentioned as major bottlenecks of natural regeneration and recruitment. Policy, extension and research recommendations are discussed.

The performance of the fuels blends and emission levels were investigated under various operating conditions of the engine. Performance parameters like torque, brake power, brake thermal efficiency and brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) were studied. Also, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), oxides of sulfur (SOx) emissions and exhaust gas temperature were investigated. The tests were carried out on a horizontal single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, 4.00 kW engine, TD115 model. The results showed that blend of diesel and eugenyl acetate (BDEA 1.0%, 0.6% and 0.2%) gave the best performance in terms of reduced exhaust emission. The test results showed that, with decreasing speed, the torque of the engine fueled with both diesel and the blends increased with the maximum torque was recorded at 1680 rpm engine speed for BDE 0.2%. Also, there was a considerable increase in exhaust temperature with the blends compared to the diesel. The exhaust gas temperature of BDC 0.2%, 0.6%, 1.0%, BDEA 0.2% and BDEA 1.0% appeared to be similar to that of the diesel at all speed conditions. The research reveals that for a constant load of 1000 g, brake power increases with the increase in engine speed, thus a maximum brake power of 1.9 kW was obtained at 1680 rpm for BDEA 0.2%, this confirmed the results reported by researchers. There was an increase in the engine’s brake thermal efficiency when run on diesel and all the fuel blends at all speed conditions; however, BDEA 0.2% and BDEA 0.6% exhibited better combustion quality than diesel. The BSFC of the blends varied with the engine power and speed; therefore, for all the blends and diesel, consumption was high at low speed and vice-versa. The results also showed that the blends gave less CO compared to diesel. The minimum and maximum reduction of CO were 1.0 % and 1.5 % respectively of the blends, as compared to diesel. The emissions of NOx, SOx and CO2 decrease with increase in clove oil, eugenol and eugenyl acetate in the blends. All the findings compared favorably with the results of other researchers.

The paper discusses the concept of E-learning which is research, learning, and teaching in the digital environment and how Nigerian Academic Libraries can support it in the COVI-19 global pandemic period. It primarily focused on the transition of academic libraries from mainly analogue to hybrid. The paper traces the outbreak of Covid-19 from Wuhan to Nigeria and the subsequent disruption of academic activities in Nigerian Universities and Libraries. It went further to discuss E-learning in the Academic Library, its benefits and the expectation of the e-learner on the academic Librarian. E-learning plat forms such as CMS, MLearning, Library Websites, YouTube, Pinterest, Podcasts, Instant Messaging (IM), Rich Site Summary (RSS), LinkedIn, Skype, and Google+, MySpace, Library thing, Ning were highlighted. The paper concludes that librarians and academicians ought to work together to assess and give links to legitimate web assets identified with projects and courses of instruction, and the Library should conduct online tutorials for improving the information searching skills of the e-learners and, by so doing, contributing greatly to improving e-learning in Nigeria.

The sheltering execution plan of a 3D printed shelter is planned to demonstrate the design of an existing camp, but it is built using printable sheltering units rather than tents and prefabricated cabins. The Zaatari Refugee camp in Jordan is selected as a case study for multiple reasons. The Zaatari Camp is located in Jordan, and was established on a large scale within short notice. The camp is built in a country ranked as one of the most expensive in the Middle East. The economy of the country and the needs of refugees make it an attractive case study to implement printable sheltering units, allowing for the investigation of the performance of a printable camp against existing sheltering camps covering aspects of time, cost, occupancy, and implementation perspectives. Achieving positive performances of a printable camp in Jordan will ensure that camps will be suitable and affordable in other countries with stronger economies, along with cheaper construction rates. The 3DP shelter is found to be a cost-effective solution in Jordan, which means that the printed shelters can achieve higher cost efficiency measures in less expensive countries in the Middle East, such as Turkey.

Introduction: Happiness is a fundamental need of human beings and it is vital aspect in the development and training of budding nurses as future nurse. However, budding nurses feel under stress and low level of happiness. Aim: The present study aimed to investigate happiness level and its predictors among budding nurses in India. Methods: This cross-sectional, multicentric study was performed in 2021 on conveniently selected 908 budding nurses studying in different nursing institutions in India. Data were collected using a researcher made demographic questionnaire and the Oxford Happiness Inventory. Data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistic. Results: Among 996 enrolled budding nurses, 908 were analyzed. The mean happiness scores of them were 126.75 ±19.69 (score range 29-174). The significant predictors of budding nurses happiness were motivational factor to join nursing (p<0.001), exercise routine (p<0.001), habit of substance abuse (p=0.008), perceived health status (p=0.004), relationship with family members (p=<0.001), relationship with teaching faculty (p=0.048) and relationship with friends (p<0.001). Conclusion: Budding nurses in India, have moderate level of happiness. Happiness is influenced by various factors. Nurse administrators and educators, in developing curriculum and activities, need to pay special attention to budding nurses’ happiness and its predictors.

There is a lot of disagreement surrounding the management of femoral fractures in the elderly. Currently, the alternatives accessible to an orthopedic surgeon include cannulated cancellous screw fixation, unipolar hemiarthroplasty, bipolar hemiarthroplasty, and complete hip arthroplasty for treating such fractures in the elderly. Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is one of the most popular treatments for Garden type II & III femoral neck fractures in the elderly in developing countries. This study was carried out to assess the functional results of cemented versus uncemented femoral neck fracture hemiarthroplasty. Compare the practical results of cemented and uncemented hemiarthroplasty in the future. Materials and Methods: Multicentered non-randomized quasi-experimental prospective study has been conducted in Islami Bank Medical College in Rajshahi, Bangladesh, and tertiary-level hospitals. From July 2016 until July 2018. Cemented bipolar femoral prostheses were used to treat 269 patients with 274 displaced femoral neck fractures. Results: At the end of the three-year post-surgery period, all data was collected in an ACCESS (Microsoft Co) database and exported for analysis into SPSS-14 vs. (SPSS, Inc.) All patients were aged 50-85 years. Males and females averaged 62.09 years, and women 69.42 years. 48 percent of patients had radiological sub-capital fractures, whereas 52 percent had transcervical. In 68% of instances, the manner of injury was minor. The complications noted were surface surgery site infection (1%), moderate side-hip discomfort (15%), L.L.D. < 1.25%, and postoperative dislocation in another patient within 3 months. There were outstanding outcomes of 64%, decent results of 28%, and fair results of 8%. There have been no abnormal findings in our investigation. Anesthesiologists' grade, operating time, anesthetic duration, use of peri-operative b-blockers, blood loss estimations, and intraoperative fracture ratios are all examples of preoperative or intraoperative characteristics. Hemoglobin level, transfusion rate, discharge, and acute complication rate did not change post-operatively. There were no clinically or statistically significant changes with 30-day, 60-day, and 1-year follow-up in mortality, disposal, ambulatory relief needs, older resources, and daily living service activities subscales. Conclusions: Cemented and uncemented femoral components are also used and linked with equivalent working results for 1 year when no pathologic femoral neck fractures are treated. Practitioners can use these similarly good results to inform their clinical selection.

The Ugamo Malim is one of the religious minorities in Indonesia. Although most Batak people today are adherents of Christianity and Islam, certain Batak people sought to maintain their own religious beliefs and practices. However, most Batak people have abandoned it and converted to the imported religions such as Christian and Islam. Accordingly, Ugamo Malim rejected the western notion of God; they prefer the term "spirits" or "divinities" (Mula Jadi Nabolon). Due to the Indonesian state legal definition and category of religion, Ugamo Malim loses the opportunity to gain legal status, identity, and recognition, including their employment opportunities in public offices. For example, the No. 1 PNPS 1965 on Blasphemy Law includes the Ugamo Malim as an unofficial religious group, except Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Although Indonesia's legal framework guarantees freedom of religion and belief, however, these fundamental rights do not guarantee the right of Ugamo Malim. Therefore, many minority groups, like Ugamo Malim, suffered from various forms of discrimination by the State of Indonesia. The study would help the Indonesian government to have a better comprehension regarding the framework they can introduce which would help in protecting the identity of the Ugamo Malim Minority religion.

Bortezomib is an anticancer agent used for multiple myeloma in combination with other chemotherapeutic drugs. Pneumonitis and pulmonary toxicity associated with bortezomib application has been reported in a series of cases associated with multiple myeloma. A 59-year-old male patient received 16 weeks of CyBorD regimen followed by first phase of RVD regimen and bortezomib biweekly resulted in partial remission. During the second phase of RVD regimen developed cough and whitish sputum. On high resolution computed tomography showed opacities on the lungs and diagnosed as bortezomib induced interstetial lung disease. He responded to the cortecosteroid therapy and respiratory symptoms subsided. This is a clinically proven bortezomib induced interstetial lung disease on retreatment with bortezomib for a patient with relapsed multiple myeloma.

Drug-induced Galactorrhea associated with Hyperprolactinemia has been rarely reported with agents such as antidopaminergic, antiemetics, antidepressants etc. Galactorrhea related with Hyperprolactinemia is an unwanted consequence of the treatment in which there is an increased serum prolactin levels usually associated with an abnormal whitish fluid like secretion from the breast. We report a case of expressible Galactorrhea at multiple occasions in a 44-year-old female patient with Fibromyalgia and Vascular headache related to Fluoxetine, Amitriptyline, Flunarizine, Domperidone used at different intervals of treatment. This report highlights the mechanism of these drugs which induces galactorrhea and subsequent reduction in the side effect when the active drugs are withdrawn.

This study investigates the diachronic developments of 2749 instances of shang in historical texts from Chinese corpora. We use Tyler and Evans (2003)’s Principled Polysemy Model to test the various senses associated with shang. It has been shown that there are close relations between the semantic change and polysemy of Chinese spatial word shang in which new meanings of shang occurred based on existing meanings and both old and newer meanings can coexist for a long period of time. Our research also displays how spatial concepts are coded linguistically by Chinese speakers based on various mechanisms including conceptual metaphor, invited inference, constructional change, causative morphology and word-class shift. By displaying the way shang ‘above’ evolved throughout the history of written Chinese to result in the current polysemy network, this study contributes to studies on semantic change in Chinese and reveals why we use spatial words as the way we do.

The 2020 report of the Global Terrorism Index ranks Nigeria third among 163 countries on the scale of key global security trends and patterns of terrorism. This paper examines the impact of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping on human security in Nigeria. The paper posits that Nigeria continues to experience increasing insecurity and violence through frequent attacks by terrorist, bandits and kidnappers. These criminals continue to attack, rape and kill unarmed civilians, especially women, across the country, which has impacted negatively on human security in Nigeria. The paper then gives the primary purpose of government, which is to protect lives and property, our ranking on the global terrorism index 2020, the conceptual clarifications of human security, terrorism, banditry and kidnapping; factors that are responsible for such social ills and their impact on Nigeria and Nigerians. The documentary research method was used in gathering and analyzing data for this work. The paper asserts that between terrorists, bandits, and kidnappers, there is very little differences as one set of activities apparently service the other. The paper concludes that the indices that point to national security in which human security is the chief has been challenged seriously by terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.
