Children in Nigeria experience abuse of their fundamental rights on a daily basis. The living condition of many children is deplorable. Despite the adoption of the CRA 2003 children in Nigeria suffer a lot of abuse of their rights. There is no significant improvement in the welfare and quality of lives of children in Nigeria. This work considers how realizable these rights are and if there is a conducive socio-economic environment to actualize these rights. This work examines the impact of the CRA 2003 on the rights and welfare of children in Nigeria and posits that lack of awareness of the rights of children, lack of political will by the government to implement the CRA, non-adoption of the CRA 2003 by some states, socio-economic problems like poverty, lack of basic amenities, bad governance, among others, are responsible for the poor implementation of the CRA 2003. Good governance, effective implementation of the CRA 2003, punishment of offenders, improvement of socio-economic conditions, eradication of poverty, and uniform adoption of the CRA by all states in Nigeria are some recommendations underscored by this research. This study employs the doctrinal research methodology.

Objectives: 1.To provide an overview of the effectiveness of mouth self examination (MSE) in early detection of oral cancer and oral potentially malignant lesions. Materials and Methods: Literature survey was carried out in March 2021 in electronic databases such as PubMed SCOPUS, EMBASE, COCHRANRE library, Science Direct using key words such as Mouth self examination, self mouth examination, oral cancer screening, etc... and a manual search was also done using the cross references and textbooks. Articles published in English language from 2000 to March 2021 which fulfilled the objectives of the study were included. The searches revealed 741 articles out of which 23 were selected after reading the full text articles. Results: The review of 23 articles revealed that mouth self examination (MSE) is one of the easiest and least expensive methods of identifying the lesions at the earliest stage by an individual where a specialist can be consulted if any suspicious lesions are found in the oral cavity. MSE has been advocated for early detection of oral cancers and can be very effective if performed by an individual accurately. MSE has low sensitivity. The sensitivity ranged from 8.6% to 43%. MSE demonstrated high specificity when compared to sensitivity. The specificity of MSE ranged from 44% to 99%. Conclusions: Mouth self examination is a good tool for identifying the suspicious lesions in the oral cavity and it can aid in early detection of oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders.

Dayak indigenous communities have traditionally maintained and normalized the value of their ancestors, as a form of efforts to maintain these values, Dayak indigenous communities continue to perform rituals Balian in their interactive activities with nature. The research approach used is qualitative research with case study methods and research informants as a data source while data analysis techniques use stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation and verification of conclusions conducted continuously until saturated. The results showed that the value of Dayak indigenous communities in the hall Kiyu hereditary upholds their pattern of life and relationship with nature. The value of life includes rice farming where rice is sacred and must be treated according to its dignity from planting to put back into the barn. According to belief, rice is a celestial plant and has decreased its dignity because it is in the dark world (real world, earth) must be restored to its sacred form of presenting various ceremonies for him who is sustainable.

This study shows the comparative analysis engineering, the physical and mechanical properties of river sand concrete with quarry dust concrete. The selected materials were batched by weight and volume. The water-cement ratio was opted as 0.50 1:2:4 for mix ratio was selected for the experimental investigation respectively. The specimens were cured for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days. For the purpose Slump, density and compressive strength tests were carried out. The river sand concrete showed better results and greater density and compressive strength than quarry dust concrete for all curing ages. The 28 days of curing, river sand concrete rise the required compressive strength by 36%, whereas quarry dust concrete was less than the limit compressive strength by 12%. Both river sand concrete and quarry dust concrete for the selected water/cement ratio and mix ratio has been found suitable for non-structural applications and lightly-loaded members where high strength is not a prerequisite.

The critical failure surface for a given slope can be determined by comparing factor of safety of several trial slip surfaces. To find the minimum factor of safety, it is important to get critical failure surface for the given slope. Different searching and optimization methods that had the difficulty in using them for hand calculations have been used in the past. In this study, effect of soil strength parameters; cohesion (c), internal friction angle (ϕ), and unit weight () on the failure surface and factor of safety of the slope were studied. GEO5 software program were used to calculate the length of failure and determine the critical failure surface. An equation was introduced in to locate the critical failure surface by using soils strength and slope geometry parameters. The results of the study showed that the factor of safety of the slope changes with varying cohesion c, internal friction angle ϕ, and the unit weight  of the soil. Moreover, the slip surface is affected by the dimensionless function (), which is related to the cohesion, internal friction angle and unit weight. Model was introduced in to locate the critical failure surface by using soils strength and slope geometry.

Edgar Allen Poe is well known writer in the history of literature due to being bestowed with the unique type of stories and novels. Horror, demise, fester, madness, lunacy and awfulness are the most common features of his work. Similarly, Gothicism is an important movement of Sweden that remained active for long duration of time. Furthermore, demise, madness and haunting places are also the major attributes of the Gothicism. Therefore, it can be observed that work of EAP is spell bound by the major features of Gothicism. Various stories and novels including “Ligea”, “The Cask of Amontillado”, “Tell Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher” are the perfect examples for proving the fact that work of EAP embellished with gothic features. However, very literature is available for highlighting this important scenario of literature and needs a detailed analysis for enlightening the spell bound work of EAP by Gothicism. Thus, present research covers these entire research gaps and is a source of opening a window for new researchers to work in the light of above explained theme of work. In the light of results obtained by qualitative analysis, it can be concluded that our hypothesis that work of EAP is spell bound by the Gothicism is quite significantly true supported by the context citation of the above explained short stories and novels.

In this study the simulation about force and time is built with Lagrange equation which solves the crankshaft dynamics in engine of vehicle. The force will incline as the time inclines with a certain mass of piston of 1.6Kg, 3.2Kg & 4.8Kg in engine on vehicle, meantime as the mass inclines the force will incline too from 16N and 32N to 48N with maximum value at 7E-3s at 700r/m rotation of engine. The bad force will be formed in first and then the good one will be followed at last in terms of former d2F/dt2<0 and d2F/dt2>0 respectively. But the bad force has good stability. If the mass of piston is increased the bigger force may be formed in engine.

The study of the topic aims to clarify some theoretical issues about drugs and drug trading, the contents of current legal regulations on drug trading conditions, and practical application in Dong Nai province.

To achieve that goal, this study focuses on the following contents: Analyzing the practice of drug trading in Dong Nai province, on that basis pointing out the limitations and shortcomings in the implementation of the law on drug trading lawsuits; analyzing the current legal status of drug trading conditions to point out inadequacies in the provisions of the law on the stated issue; provides a number of orientations, specific solutions, and recommendations to improve and improve the effectiveness of the application of the law on drug trading conditions.

With inclining the velocity of vehicle the cost will become low dominantly when the velocity attains 19Km/h and 26Km/h in future. With increasing time the movement, the velocity and acceleration of vehicle will become sinusoidal wave. When the crank length increases from 70mm to 100mm under linkage length L=180mm the maximum movement, velocity and acceleration will increase and the minimum ones will increase. The phase angle will decline with inclining speed with sinusoidal wave but the size of them maintains unchanged respectively. So it is chosen of the short crank and long linkage so as to maintain maximum force. To be rapid work the speed is needed highly.

In an effort to implement expansion of access to early childhood education, various policies have been issued by the government ranging from the statutory system to matters of a technical operational nature. One of the government policies in the education sector that supports lifelong education is the recognition of Early Childhood Education (PAUD). So far, the management of non-formal PAUD is still less professional, especially for the coaches or teachers, so that teachers who have the competence and certification are urgently needed as teachers of non-formal PAUD. This study aims to reveal the implementation of a child-friendly Child Care Park (TPA). The research method used is qualitative research (Qualitative Research) with a naturalistic phenomenological approach. This is expected to be a solution to gain a deep understanding of planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of the meaning of phenomena that occur in the field.

COVID-19 and malaria share similar pathogenic pathways with the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 as a central initiator of signals to stimulate host cellular responses which in some instances result in multi-organ affectation. These signaling proteins are either upregulated or downregulated with the consequences of provoking immune responses with varying tissue damages. The similarities in clinical presentations, associated complications and therapeutic responses to the repurposed medications (anti-malarial drugs being used as anti-viral molecules) for the treatment of the novel disease COVID-19 have stimulated enormous interest in the recent past. The major objectives in this regard are to define the association between these two disease entities and possibly unveil options for interventions. This paper therefore aims at reviewing the molecular interactions which these diseases possibly share in their pathogenesis and phenotypic expressions and make projections for future interventions.

The main role of any Customs Union is to facilitate trade through three main pillars: the simplification and harmonization of Customs procedures, the faster release of goods, and the reduction of trade costs through the elimination of tariffs and non-tariffs barrier to trade. However, this is not the case within the CEMAC Customs union as the importation, exportation and the transits of goods is hampered by tariffs and non-tariffs barriers, costly and time consuming border procedures, coupled with excessive physical and documentary control, regulatory requirements that leads to excessive delays at the inland and border offices. The present situation has not created an enabling business environment for trade facilitation within the CEMAC sub-region. The relevance of this article is to examine the extent to which the adoption of the relevant international standards of the International Convention on the harmonization and simplification of Customs procedures, otherwise known as the Kyoto Convention, by the CEMAC Customs Union can create an enabling business environment within the CEMAC sub-region. In order to attain the above objectives, we employed doctrinal and analytical research methodology. From our findings, we therefore, recommend among others that the effective implementation of World Custom Organization regulations within the CEMAC Custom Union will depend largely on the political will of decision makers and capacity building of customs administrators and personnel. This paper therefore, conclude with a number of recommendations which if effectively implemented and enforced, will go a long way to improve on the regulatory frameworks of the World Customs Organization within the CEMAC Custom Union.

Background: Diagnosis of bloodstream infections in newborns is difficult due to a wide range of symptoms. Empirical therapy guided by a knowledge of the causative agents and their local antibiotic susceptibility profile is a crucial step in improving therapeutic results. As a result, we planned to investigate the bacteriological profile and antibiotic susceptibility pattern in neonatal sepsis. This was to compare the efficacy of a combination of ampicillin and gentamicin against 3rd generation cephalosporins for empirical antibiotic treatment of neonatal sepsis. Methods: It was a cross sectional observational study conducted over one and a half years.The period of study was from January 2019 to June 2020 in the Department of Paediatrics and Microbiology of a tertiary care Teaching hospital, Hydrabad. Blood culture samples of neonates suspected of having EOS or LOS were sent to the Microbiology department where they were inoculated into BACTEC TM Peds plus/F which was then inserted into the BD BACTEC fluorescent series instrument for incubation. Antibiotic sensitivity testing was done by disc diffusion as per CLSI guidelines. Zone sizes were measured and interpreted by BD PHOENIX AUTOMATED AST machine according to CLSI standards 2016. Results: 402 neonates were admitted to the neonatal unit of our hospital with suspected sepsis between January 2021 to June 2021. Out of which parents of 372 neonates consented to take part in the study. Out of which 196 were male and 176 were female neonates. Bacteria were isolated from 195 samples and 177 samples were negative out of listed 72 neonates. These 195 neonates were enrolled as cases in the study. Out of 195 cases, 75 cases were inborn and 120 were outborn. The blood culture isolation rate was 33.2 % and 56.5% in inborn and outborn respectively. There were 105 males and 90 females in the study. The culture positivity rate was 52.4%. Bacteria were isolated from 41 samples of suspected EOS neonates with a positivity rate of 33.8% and 154 samples of suspected LOS with a positivity rate of 34.5%. Gram-positive bacteria were isolated from the 107 cases and gram-negative bacteria were grown in 88 cases. The most common isolate was Staphylococcus aureus in 59(30.26%) followed by non- fermenters in 45(23.08%) cases. Conclusion: The prevalent pattern of causative etiological agents and their sensitivity pattern is critical because it aids in the selection of particular and effective antibiotic(s) for the index case's therapy. It also aids in the development of an institutional strategy for the selection of antibiotics for newborns admitted with suspected sepsis at the time of admission. This helps to avoid antibiotic abuse and the development of antibiotic resistance.

Non-cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis is a rare condition. Constitutional thrombophilia, alone or with other risk factors, predisposes to splanchnic thrombosis. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) mutations are associated with vascular diseases. We report an observation of a 48-year-old patient who was diagnosed with MTHFR mutation during the etiological workup of a mesenteric venous thrombosis.

The objective of this study was to investigate the cost and return structures of white jute seed cultivation in Bangladesh. This study was conducted in two locations in three consecutive years 2013-15). The sample included 120 farmers selected using a purposive sampling method, consisting of 60 from each district. Sample size was same for three years. Survey questionnaires were used as the main instrument for data collection. Descriptive statistics and cost and return analysis were used for data analysis. The results indicate that the cost of production (99175 tkha-1) and output (123502 tkha-1) was higher in Tangail than Manikganj. Lowest cost of production (80252 tkha-1) was recorded in 2013 in Manikganj and maximum (102470 tkha-1) in 2014 in Tangail. Average BCR of white jute seed production of two locations was 1.25. Cost of production varies year to year and place to place due to variation in land rent value, labour wages, land preparation cost etc. This result indicates that profitability of jute seed production is almost same in two zones and by product yield is also important in case of white jute seed production.
