The synergistic inhibition behavior of Spondias cytheria and chloride ions on mild steel in H2SO4 solution were studied using the gravimetric and gasometric techniques. From the investigation the results showed that Spondias cytheria and KCl are good corrosion inhibitors. The leaf extract showed maximum inhibition efficiency of 88.52% and 81.42% for gravimetric and gasometric analysis respectively. The leaf extracts + KCl showed maximum inhibition efficiency of 91.49% and 83.76% for gravimetric and gasometric analysis respectively. It was generally observed that the addition of KCl improved the inhibition of the leaf extract. Considering the Ea, Kads, ∆Gads, Qads, the process of corrosion inhibition is attributed to be by physical adsorption. Comparing the R2 values, it could be observed that the data fitted well to Freundlich for the leaf extract and Langmuir for the leaf extract + KCl.

Background: Caesarean section when indicated is a life saving procedure but when performed without appropriate indications can add risk to both the mother and baby. However over the past 15 years it has been noted that the incidence of caesarean section has doubled all over the world, different regions having different caesarean rates which has become a serious public health issue as morbidity and mortality from an unindicated caesarean section is more than from a vaginal delivery. The present study was done as there are no studies conducted in Northeast, India and in the tribal population to know the rate of primary caesarean section in primigravida & multigravida and to know the aspects which need due attention in either group (primigravida or multigravida) which can be differentiated for better obstetric management. Aim & Objectives: 1) The primary objective is to compare the rate of primary caesarean section in primigravida and multigravida. 2).The secondary objective is to compare the indications, maternal complications, early neonatal outcome in primigravida and multigravida. Material and Method: Study population- This study consisted of two groups, group A consist of 160 primigravida who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Similarly, group B consist of 160 multigravida who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria: 1) All primigravida (booked and unbooked) with gestational age more than 37 weeks and above who have come for delivery. 2) Multigravida upto gravida 5 with gestational age of more than 37 weeks and above who has had one previous viable vaginal delivery. Exclusion criteria: 1).Patient with nonviable pregnancy 2) Patient not willing to participate in this study. 3) Patient having previous history of myomectomy or hysterotomy. 4) Gravida 6 and above as they are prone to complications. Results: The overall incidence rate of primary caesarean section rate in this study is 58.75% in primigravida and 31.87% in multigravida. Maximum patients who underwent primary caesarean section were in the age group 20-25years and 25-30 years for both groups. Maximum of the patients were posted for emergency caesarean section 96.8% in primigravida and 94.1% in multigravida. Foetal distress was the commonest indication 54.95% in primigravida and cephalopelvic disproportion 47.92% in multigravida. Intra-operative complications were common in both groups. In multigravida PPH 77.3% was more common. However uterine wound extension 80% was more common in primigravida. The overall post-operative complications were more common in multigravida (25.49%) compared to 13.82% in primigravida. Early neonatal outcome was good in both the groups. There was only 1 neonatal death during the study period in group B. Conclusion: As we have witnessed an increased rise in the rate of caesarean section over the past few years it is our responsibility to bring out the change and modifications and note that the indications indicated for caesarean section should be genuine. From this study, we can also see many females having no antenatal check-up which we can help by creating awareness and importance of antenatal check-up and should train doctors for timely referral of patients to avoid unnecessary complications. The need to better improve skills of obstetricians and staff to read CTG, perform ECV, perform instrumental deliveries especially in second stage of labour, proper counselling of patients and availability of labour analgesia to decrease the rate of caesarean on request. The overall reduction in caesarean rate can only be reduced if the indications of primary caesarean sections can be analyzed.

The paper investigated on teachers’ awareness and utilization of standard scores in assessment of students’ mathematics performance in secondary schools in Rivers State. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study is descriptive design. A sample of fifty-four (54) mathematics teachers was drawn from the population of 12,342 teachers in the locale of the study through multistage sampling procedures. An instrument titled Standard Score Awareness and Utilization Questionnaire (SSAUQ) developed by the researchers was used for data collection. Factor analysis was used to determine the validity of SSAUQ while Cronbach alpha was used to establish a reliability index of 0.89 indicating that the instrument was reliable. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while two-way analysis of variance was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The results revealed that there is no significant interaction difference in the level of awareness of standard scores in mathematics assessment by teachers based on their location, school type as well as gender. Also, there is no significant interaction difference in the level of utilization of standard scores in mathematics assessment by teachers based on their location, school type as well as gender. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that Government should from time to time organize conferences, workshops and seminars for teachers concerning use of standard scores in assessing students’ performance.

Four districts of West Bengal, with 115 householders of 500 samples were selected for the present study. Self-made standardized questionnaire tool of 40 items were constructed by the investigator to study the impact of social media in changing the cultural patterns of tribes on the selected districts of West Bengal through survey method. There is significant relationship between social media and changing lifestyle of tribes. The impact of Social media has influenced the tribal people and social media have led to occupational displacement of tribes of West Bengal.

This paper compares the biogas ignition time from 8 kg cattle dung, 4 kg each of cattle dung and cassava peels, and 4 kg cattle dung with 4 kg plantain peels. Digesters with 1 m diameter, 0.75 m height and 2 mm thickness made of mild steel were used for the anaerobic digestion of the three substrates in a mesophilic environment. The substrate was charged to the digester after thorough mixing with water at 1:2 by mass. The biogases were daily tested for combustion. Temperatures and pressures of the digesters were monitored at 10 am and 4 pm daily with mercury thermometers and pressure gauges installed on them. The biogas from every digester was measured by water displacement approach. The cattle dung biogas ignited on the 14th day, cattle dung with cassava peels mixture on the 55th and cattle dung with plantain peels mixture, 146th day of digestion. Their biogas volumes were 6450, 7000 and 6500 ml. Bacteria identified on the three digestates were Clostridium spp. and Bacillus licheniformies with a population of 2.5 x 10-4, Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus licheniformies 3.8 x 10-4, and Bacillus licheniformies with 2.3 x 10-4 cfu/ml. Cattle dung biogas recorded the least ignition time.

Background: The aim of this study was to look at how surgical treatment of early surgery gastric ulcer perforation has changed, as well as the outcomes. While it has been demonstrated that treating perforated gastric ulcers (GUP) is feasible and effective, its adoption into routine clinical practice has been gradual. Only a few studies have looked at its overall usefulness. Material and Methods: A population-based analysis of all patients undergoing surgery for GUP between 2018 and 2020 was conducted in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital as part of a multicentered non-randomized experimental prospective study. The demographics of the patients, as well as their medical assessment, management, and results, were assessed. The following are the outcomes: A total of 482 patients were included in the study, with a median age of 67 years (range, 20–100). Results: There were 482 patients in total, with a median age of 67 years (range, 20–100). Women made up 284 (59%) of the total patients, and they were older (p0.001), had more comorbidities (p=0.002), and had a higher Boey risk score (p=0.036) than men. The position of the perforation was gastric/pyloric in 347 patients (72%), and duodenal in 135 patients (28%). A simple abdominal x-ray revealed pneumoperitoneum Thirty-one out of forty-one patients 361 patients (75%) had abdominal computerized tomography (CT) and 76 of 77 patients (98%) had abdominal computerized tomography (CT) (p0.001). 234 patients (42%) had laparoscopic surgery, which was completed in 361 patients (75 percent of attempted cases). During the study period, the rate of laparotomy care increased from 33-222 patients (7%) to 46 percent (p=0.02). Patients handled by laparotomy had a shorter median operation period (70 minutes) than those treated by laparoscopy (82 minutes) or those transferred from laparoscopy to laparotomy (105 minutes; p=0.017). In 236 patients, postoperative complications occurred (49 percent). Overall, 77 patients died within 30 days of surgery (16 percent). Both open and surgical repair, there were no statistically significant differences in morbidity and mortality. Conclusion: The increased use of clinical evaluation with X-ray (CT) as the primary diagnostic method for PPU and repair in surgical care is demonstrated in this research. Changes in management are not linked to different results.

As a second-generation Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) graduate, I feel that attending an HBCU is one of the best experiences an individual can have. HBCUs will continue to evolve with diverse faculty, student population, and staff and professors dedicated to facilitating learning among all students. However, higher education institutions face several challenges. In this article, I have identified fundraising issues in higher education and provided ways for administrators, educators, students, and others to motivate HBCU alumni to contribute to their alma mater.

This paper has leaned on the Critical Discourse Analysis of Malcom X’s speech entitled “Organization of Afro-American Unity Program (February 21, 1965). Drawing on Fairclough’s (1989) Social-Discoursal Approach and Fowler and Kress’ (1979) Critical Classification theory, the speech has been described, interpreted and explained. The conceptual classification has been carried through lexicalization, overlexicalisation, position of adjectives and the choice between adjectives and nouns. The critical classification being a pivotal means through which ideological orientations are deduced, the interpretative and explanatory analyses have disclosed the ideologies of oppression, racism, modern slavery, unity and freedom. On balance, Afro-Americans were fraught with slavery treatments, racist power structures and oppressive aggressors and are currently confronted with racial inequalities and discriminations which sometimes culminate in manslaughters mainly by White American policemen. This unfinished battle of Malcom X should be perpetuated to the period when criminal acts and racial injustices are eradicated in the present US under Joe Biden’s administration (2020-2024) and even beyond.

This study aims to determine the effect of Carbon emissions disclosure, Social Performance, Firm Growth, and Financial Performance. This research is causal research with a quantitative descriptive approach with the object of research on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). The research data are secondary data obtained from looking at the financial statements of companies including manufacturing companies listed on the IDX from 2017 - 2019. The results of the study stated that carbon emissions 'disclosures and social performance affected financial performance. Firm growth strengthened the relationship between carbon emissions' disclosures and financial performance. However, firm growth weakens the relationship between social performance and financial performance.

Background: Eclampsia is a life-threatening emergency that continues to be a significant cause of maternal mortality worldwide Aim: To study the incidence of eclampsia and factors influencing maternal outcome in Karnataka population Materials and Methods: A total of 50 eclampsia cases of > 32 weeks of gestation age utilized for the present study. Patients with medical complications like anaemia, pre-existing hypertensive, diabetes, vascular or renal disease, multiple gestations, and polyhydramnios excluded from the study. The eclamptic management by Zuspan regimen, anti-hypertensive management, and obstetric management by vaginal route or cesarean section was planned for the patients in our study. The mothers followed up for evidence of a decrease in BP followed by other complications of eclampsia for six weeks, and the babies delivered are followed up during the early neonatal period for difficulties in the present study Results: The majorities of the patients belong to low socio-economic status 94%, belong to middle class 6% in the present study. The Maternal deaths occurred in the low socio-economic group with an incidence of 4.3%. Maternal mortality increases with an increase in the first fit-admission interval was observed in the present study. Maternal mortality was higher in patients with higher Blood Pressure levels at the time of admission. The Incidence of eclampsia was 0.64%, followed by maternal mortality was 0.4% in the present study. The maternal mortality was significantly higher in patients who had six or more episodes of convulsions. The maternal mortality was 10% in convulsion delivery interval >24 hours and 4.2% in convulsion delivery interval were 13-24 hours. Maternal mortality was not observed in convulsion delivery interval <12 hours in the present study. Conclusion: The incidence of eclampsia is high due to the high referral of eclampsia cases, and reflecting poor antenatal care in the present study suggests that early attention and intensive management are essential for improving the maternal outcome in eclamptic patients.

Motor and cognitive in children growth can be influenced by the practice of football. This study was enhanced with a 10-week game program at three sessions per week, which improved children's performance in motor and cognitive functions. We chose as variables for our study; agility as motor skill and mental flexibility, inhibition and visuospatial memory as cognitive functions. The participants (N = 33) were students in a football promotion center with an average age of 11.5. They were divided into two groups, 16 students from the experimental group who performed a play program and 17 students from the control group who had a regular program. The experimental post-test group showed significantly greater gains than the control group on agility measurements, visuospatial memory, mental flexibility and inhibition. In addition, our results were revealed only a correlation between mental flexibility and agility.

In the last decade, Acenitobacter baumannii has become the center of attention for microbiologists. Even amongst the ESKAPE pathogens, whose innate ability to develop resistance to various major antibiotic classes poses a threat to the nature of the modern treatment, A.baumannii is often one of the first species to develop resistance to new drugs. Because of its ability to adapt even to those inhospitable environments which would otherwise be fatal to other pathogens, A.baumannii has emerged as one of the most dangerous pathogens known to humankind and surely worthy of every bit of consideration it is getting. To coop up with the strains of the surrounding, A.baumannii exhibits a different variety of mechanisms of resistance that helps the bacteria in its survival. With the help of genetic studies and loads of experiments, we have finally learned a great deal about the mechanisms behind Aceintobacter Baumannii tremendous ability to develop immunity against antibiotics. However, against A.baumannii multiple drug regimens are used which aid each other in killing the bacteria one way or the other. The field of genetics has helped the most in identifying the various mechanisms of resistance and of course, this knowledge will help us to discover new ways of treatment that are more efficient and beneficial in our battle against the resistant strains. The optimal treatment for the MDR has yet to be established. New data is being collected every day and this clinical data is necessary for the guidance of clinicians towards the right path for choosing the best drug therapy. The discovery of therapies along with controlled trials is essential to face this problem.

Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the prevalence of different conditions in infertile men with severe male factor, based on endocrine evaluation and scrotal ultrasound. Materials and methods: The retrospective study was carried out on 86 infertile men with azoospermia and severe oligospermia who attended the Male infertility clinic of the department of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. They had evaluation with serum testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). In addition they had scrotal ultrasound. Results: Most (88.37%) of them had azoospermia. Severe oligospermia was present in 11.63%. Testosterone deficiency was detected in 34.9%. Non-obstructive forms (pre-testicular and testicular causes) comprised 62.8%. Scrotal abnormalities suggestive of obstructive and non-obstructive varieties were overlapping with endocrine diagnoses. Conclusion: Majority of men with severe male factor infertility has non-obstructive azoospermia which has poor chance of sperm retrieval for in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI). Substantial proportion of them has testosterone deficiency which needs to be treated if they do not opt for IVF-ICSI with poor prognosis or donor oocytes.

CSR practice is currently a hot topic of conversation in businesses that are experiencing legitimacy pressure from stakeholders. Businesses are not only expected to be successful in economic performance, but also in social and environmental performance. But on the other hand, business people still ignore CSR practices as an important thing, one of the reasons is cost. This study aims to provide a Christian theological perspective on CSR practices so as to encourage Christian businessmen to be sensitive to the issues that drive the importance of CSR. In addition, this study provides suggestions for further research both qualitatively and quantitatively. This research is a qualitative, multidisciplinary, phemenological study using literature study techniques that describe the relevance of CSR from the point of view of the 10 principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in line with Christian faith. Even though it is still global in nature, multidisciplinary research related to CSR practices has not been found so that it is a novelty in this research.
