This study examines the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the work-life balance of lecturers in private universities in Nigeria. The objective was to determine the extent, to which COVID-19 affected the productivity of lecturers with reference to research and teaching output between March and October, 2020. The target population involves all academic staff of private universities in Nigeria. Purposive sampling of non-probability method was used to select eight (8) private universities in Lagos State and Federal Capital Territory Abuja while Taro Yamane formula n= N/ (1+N (e) 2) was used to calculate the number of participants in the study. A self-constructed survey was developed and distributed online through Google Forms. Descriptive statistics with frequency distribution was used to analyse the demography of participants while linear regression was used to analyse responses from the survey. Based on the results, it was discovered that COVID-19 increased the family commitment and childcare practices of lecturers. Simultaneously, it exerted pressure on the lecturer to meet-up with online class activities, project supervision and research work. It was also observed that while the workload hours significantly decreased, the pressure to teach students through online applications (i.e Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Classroom, etc) was very high with less productivity. The findings also indicate that lecturers in private universities could not effectively strike a balance between work and family during the global pandemic and therefore, were less productive especially in the areas of research and teaching output. Recommendations were made towards development of new work-life balance policies by the university management as well as retraining of lecturers in meeting up with the emerging needs of students and the university in a post COVID-19 world.

It also discusses the cultivation methods suitable for the current correct consumption idea of college students, and puts forward feasible solutions to the existing problems according to the investigation, so as to guide college students to establish a correct consumption idea.

That physical education and sports for children is indisputable, this has been proven and proven by scientific achievements, they even say that, to categorize physical education and sports for children as a separate branch of sports, unlike adults, ie a branch of independent of sports science and sports system. In addition of traditional methods of education and their possibilities to realize them in practice this study aims to attract attention of educators in the new models of social education adjusting this with preschool children interests. For the realization of our study, have selected 80 children from four Tirana’s preschools city, that seems to be the bigger city, center of economic, social, administrative, culture, academic, industrial, medial of Albania, with purpose to have a big representation of all social-economics layers. The children are separated in two equal groups. Collected data, in begin, middle and in the end of tests and questionnaires were under a statistical processing by IBM SPSS package, version number 22. T- test is used to see if there are significant changes between control and experiment group skills along the tests phases. Based on results, significant changes between genders in experiment groups first phases questionnaire. Through this study we think to offer some rational solutions with movement and social character, using a variety tools that gymnastic contains accompained by some educational and entertainment methods.

Basketball is a popular court-based team sport that has been extensively studied over the last decade. Yoga is a physical and mental discipline that forms part of ayurvedic medicine. The purpose of the study was to find out hematological variables (RBC, WBC, and Platelets) between regular basketball players and yoga practitioners. Nine (09) subjects were randomly participated as volunteers in this study; among them (n=04) were basketball players and the rest (n=05) yoga practitioners. Blood samples were collected in the morning session (6:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.) with fasting. Red blood cells (counts), white blood cells (counts), and platelets (counts) were criterion measures in this study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean and SD and an unpaired t-test were applied to check the level of significance (p<0.05). Statistical results indicated that the monocytes and platelets were statistically significant differences found between basketball players and yoga practitioners. There was no statistically significant difference in red blood cell, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes between the two groups. In summary, it could be said that basketball players’ monocytes and platelets blood count were higher than yoga practitioners, but red blood cell, neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes blood count is closer in both groups.

Flexibility is one of the most important pain-free joint motions that necessary in games and sports. The idea of the present study was to recognize the nature of flexibility required for the performance of basketball and suggest a set of exercises to satisfy this purpose. At first, through a literature survey, consulting experts of the field and from the experience of own contribution in the game for a pretty long period, the exact nature and need of flexibility for the game of basketball was identified. It was understood that the flexibility of the ankle, hip, shoulder, trunk, and wrist was very essential for the purpose. The twelve (12) associated muscles around the specified joints were finalized. Eventually, a set of twelve exercises was prepared as a catalogue for developing the flexibility of basketball payers.

Traumatic injury of anterior teeth is common and may lead to cyst over a period of time. Root perforation is contrived communication between root canal system and the supporting tissues of teeth or the oral cavity. Iatrogenic root perforation is a procedural mishap but quite an uncommon event, which may occur at any stage of root canal therapy, from access cavity preparation to post-space preparation, on any tooth. Perforations are reported to result in lower success rates. How they are managed can make the difference between retention and the loss of a tooth. It results in bacterial contamination, peri-radicular tissue injury, inflammation, and bone resorption. The purpose of this case report is to describe the endodontic retreatment and surgical management of a longstanding periapical lesion on maxillary central incisor, associated with perforation using mineral trioxide aggregate. MTA is bioactive material and shows good sealing activity for perforation repair and apical seal. For large periapical cyst healing PRF was used and Novabone putty was used for the healing of osseous defect.

The practice of restorative dentistry dates back to the 1st century AD. These restorations are done to restore form, function and esthetics. In current restorative practice, the materials to choose from are dental amalgam, composite resin (and its modifications) and glass ionomer cements (and its modifications). Dental amalgam was the material of choice for nearly two centuries. This was because it has such properties as durability, ease of placement, high compressive strength and it was cheap. It however was not esthetic and there was concern of its use due to its mercury content. Composite resin was initially only restricted to the anterior portion of the mouth and for small Class I cavities this was because though it was esthetic, it lacked strength, but with modifications, new research now shows it can be a good substitute for dental amalgam. Glass ionomer cement bonds to both enamel and dentine, it also has sustained release of fluoride which helps to remineralize tooth structure as well as prevent future caries occurrence. It can now also serve as a definitive restoration in the posterior stress bearing portion of the mouth. Although dental amalgam has been the material of choice almost two centuries, there is now a paradigm shift towards non-amalgam restorative materials. This paradigm shift has been occasioned by the need to restore tooth with materials that best match the tooth in terms of function and esthetics. The biomimetics are in as they fulfil the conditions and conserve tooth tissue.

Introduction: A much controversy exists regarding treatment of neck of femur fractures in elderly. Currently, choices available options for an Orthopaedic surgeon for treating these fractures in elderly are Canulated cancellous screw fixation, Girldstone, unipolar hemiarthroplasty, bipolar hemiarthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty. One of the most common treatments of Garden type-III & IV fracture of femoral neck in elderly in low- and middle-income countries is bipolar hemiarthroplasty. This study was conducted to evaluate functional outcome of fracture neck of femur treated with cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty in elderly. Materials and Methods: Multicentered based non randomized quasi experimental prospective study was performed in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Spine & Orthopaedic Specialized Centre, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from January 2010 to December 2019.Total number of patients n=1156 with fracture neck of femur were operated with cemented bi-polar prosthesis of femoral component and their functional outcomes were assessed on the basis of modified Harris Hip Score. Results: At the end of 10 year after surgery, the functional results were analyzed by SPSS 18.0. All patients were in the age group of 50-85 years with mean age of 62.09 years for males and 69.42 years for females. 48% percent of the patients had sub-capital fracture radiologically, while 52% had Transcervical. In 68% of cases, the mode of injury was trivial trauma. Complications observed were superficial surgical site infection (1%), affected sided mild hip pain (15%), LLD < 1.25 cm of 0.01% and post-operative dislocation within 3 months in another patient. There were 64% excellent results, 28% good results and 8% fair results. No poor results were found in our study. Conclusions: Elderly neglected patients with displaced fracture of neck femur are able to ambulate early after Cemented bipolar hemi arthroplasty. The complication rate is very low and pre injury functional status is restored in majority of patients.

The torque will be in proportion to the crank and linkage length. That may be fitted to the stroke ratio γ well. The bigger the γ is the bigger the torque is. The crank acceleration and block angle will be low when the γ becomes big. The linkage acceleration and speed may incline as the stroke ratio and rotation is big. The movement will be big when the stroke ratio is small and the rotation is inclining on the crank linkage mechanism in vehicle

Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by facial dysmorphism and several birth defects including lymphatic abnormalities. There are familial cases and sporadic cases. In practice, it is sometimes very difficult to confirm the diagnosis, as the manifestations are variable and & quot; subtle & quot; for the non-specialist. We report the case of a patient in whom the diagnosis was made late at the age of 37 years and whose reason for consultation was an increase in abdominal volume related to chylous ascites. Chylous ascites in Noonan syndrome seems to be more frequent than expected hence the need to know how to evoke this syndrome in its presence especially since there is a typical dysmorphic picture.

This paper aims to study women’s realities and conditions through motherhood realities in Linda Pastan’s poem entitled “Marks”. Indeed thanks to the microcosm of a familial and motherhood reality, the poet Linda Pastan sheds light in general to the macrocosm of familial and motherhood reality in the whole society and further to the macrocosm of women’s realities and conditions in the society. It is like a cry from the heart of a woman which calls for anyone attention about women’s conditions and sufferings in family, in society, and further in the world. In fact, thanks to an ironic style she depicts the daily life of a mother in her own family showing the difficulties she encounters by explaining the household sufferings. This ironic depiction is indeed a kind of metaphor to denounce the ingratitude or ungratefulness on the part of the other members of the family (husband, son and daughter). When transcending the familial context described by Linda Pastan, we observe obviously that this poem is topical about women’s realities and conditions, and also that the problem of women’s conditions and sufferings is universal and a world concern. On the basis of this simple but true reality and in a thorough analysis following sociocriticism, a psychoanalytic criticism, a feminism perspective and stylistics, we will study on the one hand, motherhood realities and women’s conditions and sufferings and on the other hand, we will analyze family or people or society ingratitude toward women and the need for women recognition and emancipation.

Background and objectives: Pit and fissure sealants have been long suggested as the method of preventing dental caries. The aim of the study was to provide an overview of the latest evidence on clinical effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants in prevention of dental caries. Materials and methods: Literature survey was carried out from 2010 to 2020 in electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and Virtual Health Library database using key words such as “Pit and fissure sealants” and “systematic reviews,”. The searches revealed 457 articles out of which 5 were selected after reading the full text articles. Results: The review of 5 articles revealed that high viscosity GIC and resin-based sealants have similar caries-preventive efficacy in permanent molar teeth after 48 months. The evidence for a potential superiority of high viscosity GIC over resin-based sealants after 60 months is still low. Sealants alone had a 2- to 3-fold higher risk of arresting or reversing lesions (moderate certainty for all comparisons) as compared to no treatment. In comparison to no therapy, the combination of sealants and 5% NaF varnish was the most effective in arresting or reversing lesions. When compared to varnish, Fissure sealants had limited superiority in minimizing occlusal caries. Conclusions: The evidence suggests that sealing pit and fissures are effective in prevention of dental caries however it is hampered by high risk of bias. Hence, future studies with high quality should be conducted assessing the effectiveness of different types of sealants.

Islamic banking has developed as an important tool for the progress of the economy in many countries because it based on investment and financing projects globally, reported by World Bank's 2015 report. In many parts of the world, Islamic economics has the prospective to contribute and to face the encounters of termination of poverty and rising development. This study undertaken in Bahrain in order for investigate the nexus of Islamic banking and economic growth. Bahrain become one among the most developed Islamic banking activities and other Islamic instruments like Takaful, capital market and so on. This paper based on two correlated specific objectives that were survey the long-term relationship and causal linkage between economic growth and Islamic banking in the Bahrain. Although Bahrain have many Islamic banks operated but for the purpose of the study and research problem with availability of data only one bank was selected which called Al Salam Bank. This bank have good experience, existed for long time and have already announce as one of the as the best and better performance Islamic bank in Bahrain. The study based on quantitative approach and data was secondary and collected from al salam annually financial statements and world bank data set for the period from 2000 to 2020 which was time series. Study variables were Islamic bank’s assets, Great fixed capital formation, GDP per capital and foreign direct investment. Methodology which applied were the unit root problem was tested, then testing the co-integration with long run structural model, then the VECM, then Variance decomposition then Impulse Response Function and finishing persistence profile. Findings shown that Islamic banking in Bahrain have positive long run with positive short run relationship with economic growth. Also result shown that Islamic bank asset take the leading variable on the affect the GDP in Bahrain which supported by VECM. These outcomes give implication that the growth and development of Islamic banks in Bahrain have advantageous on the economy and households income of Bahrain. So it is better for police markers in Bahrain to increase more for taking considerable efforts for Islamic banks operation in order to provide much positive relation with their economy and to be a source for improvement of other sectors of economy in Bahrain.

Aim: The aim of this study was to detailed analysis of the donor corneal tissue using Eye Bank Specular Microscope (EBSM). Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis was done for 408 donor corneas procured and processed between April 2016 and March 2020, at an Eye Bank in a Tertiary Care Hospital for Endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variance (CV), and percentage of hexagonality (6A) and were compared across different age groups & gender of the donor tissue. Results: The mean age of the donors was 66.78 ± 17.27 (range 12–95 years). The mean ECD of the donor cornea was 1400.65 ± 627.01 cells/mm2; the average CV was 37.5 ± 18.2; and the average percentages of hexagonal cells were 44.9%. The cell count was significantly greater in the donor corneas in age groups of <20, 21-30 & 41-50 years when compared to rest of the age groups. There were no significant differences between the age groups on basis of CV and 6A. The ECD of the male donors (65%) was more than that of female donors (35%). Conclusion: ECD is significantly greater in younger age group as compared to older age groups; however, there were no significant differences in CV and 6A. Endothelial cell analysis by Eye Bank Specular Microscopy is a great tool for the grading of donor tissues, its subsequent utilization for corneal transplantation & prognostic value of the graft survival.

Streptokinase is a novel bacterial enzyme that binds with plasminogen and activates it. Streptokinase is produced by different species of streptococcus. Activity of streptokinase is determined by different methods such as fibrin clot method, casein hydrolysis and Chromozym test. High production of streptokinase was obtained in experiments with batch cultures. Production of streptokinase increases 2-3 times in continuous culture. Different species of streptococcus was selected for Optimum production of streptokinase by using different concentration of substrates such as CSL, molasses, sugarcane bagass, rice polishing. Maximum activity was overserved by 0.3% CSL, 0.5% molasses, 0.4% sugarcane bagass and 0.5% rice polishing. Physical parameters such temperature, pH at optimum conditions (370C, 7.0) enhance the streptokinase activity by using RSM. Nitrogen sources, carbon sources, incubation time, Growth factors such as glycine, thiamine and traces elements such as FeSO4, MgSO4, when uses in limited amount enhance the enzyme production. 1% (v/v) inoculum increase the yield of streptokinase (0.360 U/ml).
