Globally the print media has made strides in publishing content that is appealing to readers. The Kenyan mainstream newspapers have established colourful and sensational pullouts to attract youthful readers. Among the most popular free pullout entertainment magazines is the ‘Pulse’ which is accessed by the youth in secondary schools and its content may be having a behavioural impact on them. The objective of the study was to establish the preference secondary school students have to content published in the Pulse on negative behaviour that is likely to motivate students to engage in practices that contribute to cases of early pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases, and drug abuse. The study was guided by the Media Dependency Theory by Ball-Rokeach and DeFluer [1], showing audience dependency on media information. The study adopted a cross-sectional design targeting a population of 24,539 students. A sample size of 393 was drawn from the population of 24,539 students using Yamane [2], sample size formula. The study thereafter administered questionnaires to the 392 students. The study established that 356 respondents out of the 393 found content in the Pulse magazine appealing at a frequency rate of 90%. This was of concern due to the likelihood that the youth would engage in risky behaviour if given a chance leading to outcomes detrimental to their health and academic performance. The study will assist education policy makers, the media, and academicians in establishing ethical policies during the development of print media content.

Cervicofacial synovialosarcoma is a malignant tumor. It poses a diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Synovialosarcoma has the strongest recurrence power among soft tissue sarcomas. These recurrences are more frequent during the first two years. Distant metastases are seen in 30% to 50% of cases and are mainly pulmonary.We report the observation of a young 38-year-old patient who was operated on in 2013 for synovialosarcoma oropharynx with radiotherapy postoperatively 6 years after the patient has two recurrences, one oropharyngeal and the other cervical.

This study was design to address the relationship between duration in prison and some components of psychological well-being (i.e. self-awareness, stress and stress coping) among prisoners in Hosanna town correctional center. To meet this objective, the researcher drew 70 out of 2000 populations who were pursuing their life in 2012 E.C was selected as the sample participants of the study by using systematic random sampling technique by making use of random numbers. The reason why the researcher uses this technique is, in order to give equal chance to the targeted population and to avoid research bias. A point Likert type scale questionnaire was used to address the relationship between duration in prison and some components of psychological well-being. The basic research questions of this paper was first, what are the relationship between the year of stay in prison and the levels of self-awareness, stress and stress coping among prisoners second, is there a gender difference on self- awareness, stress and stress coping among prisoners third, are there relationship between prisoner's psychological well-being and their age. The data were analyzed through percentage, correlation; T-test and ANOVA. The result reveled that there is no significant relationship between some components of psychological well-being (i.e. self- awareness, stress and stress coping) and age among prisoners. The study also revealed that there is significant difference between male and female prisoners on the components of psychological well-beings (i.e. self-awareness, stress and stress coping). As well as it shows significance relationship between duration of stay in prison and the components of psychological well-being (i.e. self-awareness, stress and stress coping) among the prisoners of Hosanna town. The study suggested that it is advisable to create favorable conditions for the prisoner to develop a sense of good interaction when he/she is in the prison or/and after return to the society and they should be done by practicing different physical exercise going in concordance with flexible plane of schedules. Finally, the correctional center should develop sense of belongings and coordination among offender to minimize stress and conflict in the correctional center.

Objectives: To assess oral health status and prevalence of obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus and sleep related disorders in bus conductors and drivers. Method: Cross-sectional survey was conducted at interstate bus terminal of Lucknow district. Total 156 bus conductors and drivers were enrolled in this study. Oral health status was assessed by WHO oral health questionnaire and prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes and sleep related disorders were recorded using standardized questionnaire and biochemical investigations. Data was analysed using SPSS version 25.0 at significance level of 0.05. Result: The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was found 127.1 and 85.3 respectively for all the subjects. Mean value was observed 36.9 cm for neck circumference, a mean score of 3.1 was found for mallampati grading and a mean score of 5.9 was observed for Epworth sleepiness score for all the studied subjects. The mean value for Serum Cholesterol, triglyceride and HDL-C were found 174.7, 153.8 and 54.5 mg /dl respectively. Mean value of serum uric acid were found 5.4 mg/dl and Plasma glucose (fasting) was found 100.3mg/dl in the given subjects. Conclusion: As bus drivers and conductors belong to lower socio economic status, thus free health checkup camps should be organized so that they can seek medical aid. Awareness must be created and Psychological counseling must be provided so that they adopt a healthy lifestyle and learn to cope up with the stress. Implementation of strict laws and rules are also advised so that safety of drivers and public is maintained.

Wood has been the most essential components of engineering materials in the building and construction sector. Except for industrial roofing, virtually all roofing in building is done with wood. The flakes or chips generated from resizing of wood logs results in waste known as sawdust waste. The generated sawdust is not used for any economic value; thus, the dumps are either burnt or decomposed in the surrounding and flakes generated from wood plaining are used as adsorbent in poultry house. Nevertheless, bulk of it end up as waste littered on the environment being a menace to the ecosystem. In this work, sawdust from softwood, hardwood and rice husk were processed and characterized to study their functional groups and fingerprints using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, with the aim of identifying its compatibility for use in composite material production with an appropriate binder for comfort of occupants in indoor build environment. The instrument operates on wide range of wave numbers which identify the existing functional group (4000 cm-1 - 1500 cm-1) and fingerprint (1500 cm-1 – 400 cm-1) in the assign band at a particular intensity within the wavenumber radiation frequency. The results from this study revealed that, softwood sawdust showed 11 peaks containing mainly aromatic compound dominated by alcohols and phenols, hardwood sawdust showed 21 peaks containing carboxylic acids, aldehydes, alkanes, alkenes and nitrile in addition to the alcohols and phenols in softwood sawdust and rice husks showed 23 peaks in the spectra in addition to the aromatic compounds it contain glutamines, nitriles and carboxylic compounds found in starch and pharmaceutical use. Both materials have the industrial potentials in particleboard production and can provide friendly indoor quality in building environment.

Soil moisture monitoring system is the combination of devices that can sense soil moisture, read or store data, and transmit data to a computer, which helps organize, visualize and interpret the soil moisture data. The optimum plant growth is basically dependent on the appropriate water level in the soil. In order to maximize the quality of crops and conserve water resources during irrigation, the soil moisture monitoring device is developed to evaluate and control the amount of water required. In this current project, an op-amp based comparator circuit was used coupled with relay units which controlled the water pumps. Results obtained from the measurement have shown that the system performance is quite reliable and accurate. Field experience has also shown that soil moisture sensors are very useful in diagnosing the changes needed and to fine-tune irrigation practices. The use of these easily available components reduces the manufacturing and maintenance costs. This therefore, makes the proposed system to be an economical, appropriate and a low maintenance solution for applications, especially in rural areas and for small scale agriculturist.

Chlorpyrifos is among the commonly used pesticides used for self-harm. Chlorpyrifos is colorless crystal like solid with a strong odor. Pesticides like chlorpyrifos are necessarily poisonous but they play an important role in the availability of plenty of cheap and consistent supplies of food to the world population. The aims of this review article investigated the aspects to reduce the risk due to chlorpyrifos use among farmers and people by producing awareness. A decreased percentage of neutrophils in peripheral blood in animals poisoned with chlorpyrifos may suggest, neutrophils involves in phagocytosis during xenobiotic intoxication, during which some of the neutrophils might have ruptured. Chlorpyrifos modifies testicular capacities perhaps by acceptance of testicular oxidative pressure and hindrance of exercises of indicator catalysts, accordingly disturbing masculine generation. The outcome enemies of oxidants i.e SOD, CAT, G6PDH exercises in the hepatocytes, renal, spleen and cerebrum of rodents. The sub- deadly presentation of chlorpyrifos additionally cause decline in dimension of decreased GTH (glutathione) and ensuing increment in oxidized glutathione heights. So the outcome demonstrate that CPF presentation prompt oxidative worry in rodent tissues however the CPF introduction to rodents feed with oxidants vitamin A,E and C for one month, averted unhinging of these enemy of oxidant limits. It also helpful to explain the mechanism that chlorpyrifos induce such changes in living organisms included humans.

Primary central nervous system (CNS) melanomas are rare tumors arise from precursor leptomeningeal melanocytes that are scattered throughout the arachnoid membranes. The nodular form of primary CNS melanoma manifests as a solitary, discrete neoplasm with a predilection for the spinal cord and posterior fossa. Around 100 cases of primary CNS melanoma reported in the literature. Here, we report the first case in Saudi Arabia of a 55-year-old man who presented with nausea, vomiting, and sudden loss of consciousness. CT brain with contrast showed a left temporal lesion, which was resected and histologically proved to be primary CNS melanoma.

Background: The use of cell phones can harm nursing students' academic performance. As such, reliance on the device for everyday activities has increased. Consequently, "nomophobia", defined as the fear of being without one's smartphone, has emerged as a new phobia among the users. Aim: This study was aimed at identifying the effects that long-term use of smartphone has among students cause on their level of attention and learning styles. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study was carried out among nursing students in two public universities located in western Kenya. The sample size comprised of 811 third- and fourth-years nursing students with a control group (n = 349, 43. %) and an experimental group (n = 462, 57%). The experimental group left their cell phones, in sound or vibration mode, as they normally kept them, on a table located in the corner of the classroom. Data were analysed using SPSS v.25, and data presented using graphs and tables. The data was reliable at alpha .824 and without outliers. Results: More female 54.87% than male was evidenced by the responses. Both groups showed higher-than-average levels of nomophobia at the beginning of the class. As for problematic smartphone use and attention, it was found that there were statistically significant differences in both cases (U = 1355.500, Z = −2.830, P = .005; U = 1449.000, Z = −2.363, P = .018, respectively), and the experimental group had higher average scores, as well as in those related to knowledge. Testing of the hypothesis was done and the null hypothesis was rejected (X2=19.609, P>0.001). Conclusion: A relationship has been found between nomophobia and problematic smartphone use. Students who do not have access to their cell phones during class perceive more problematic cell phone usage, in addition to paying closer attention during class. Recommendation: Because of this, it is important to an alternative way of reducing the nomophobia in order to enhance attention and learning styles among students. Future studies are recommended on lecturers not only the students the medical students but also in other departments of the university and expand to other universities across the country.

Delay in initiation of reperfusion therapy (thrombolysis or primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) has been shown to be the detrimental factor of worsened outcome from ST elevated acute myocardia infarction. The data on the actual delay in initiation of reperfusion therapy in India is sparse. This study was designed to assess the various factors responsible for the delays in starting reperfusion therapy in patients presenting with ST elevated acute myocardial infarction. The results of this study indicate that a large portion of the delay was prehospital delay from the onset of angina pain to patient visiting the hospital. Factors responsible for this delay, which are totally preventable, were difficulty in arranging transport, lack of patient education and late recognition of symptom or its severity. This study also noted that there was a significant delay in hospital-door to ECG and hospital-door to thrombolytic or balloon angioplasty as well. Understandably, higher literacy level in urban patients (78.6%) played a major role in urban patients coming to hospital for treatment more than their rural counterparts.

Plagiarism Enforcement in Indonesia can be said to have not been quite effective because the plagiarism level is still quite high. In 2013 alone it was found that there were at least 808 cases of plagiarism in Indonesia. This needs to be studied more deeply, as was done by the authors in this article. With the subject matter of why this can happen, and whether the arrangement in Indonesia itself is quite effective. The results of the study show that the problem that is a weakness of the Plagiarism enforcement system in Indonesia is that it does not regulate Cryptomnesia-related Plagiarism that occurs when forgotten memories are returned unnoticed by the person concerned, who believes that memory is a new and first thing so that ideas arise without consciously imitating the work of others and as in line with Regulation of the Minister of Education Number 17 of 2010 that in implementing scientific autonomy and academic freedom, students / lecturers / researchers / education personnel are obliged to uphold honesty and academic ethics, especially the prohibition of plagiarism in producing scientific work, so that creativity in the academic field can grow and developing. Therefore, the copyright arrangement in Indonesia should be reconstructed without categorizing Crytomnesia as plagiarism.

The sky-squares are the institutions that provide both military and socio-cultural services within the structure of the period. In the cities of the Seljuk Empire, the squares gave a regular service in the administration of the officer. In the settlements near the Seljuk fortresses, they also served under the control of the court of residence under the Castle Guard. In the Turkish tribes outside the settlement areas, both military and socio-cultural activities continued in the tradition of decentralized management coming from the Turkic Khaganate and in open and closed upland and winter sports houses. On the other hand, the understanding of power and other states to accept them to make the Seljuk Empire connected to the power of the country as well as seize the trade routes, an important element of the economy seized the trade routes to hold and to organize the commercial activities in a comfortable, easy and safe way, The Seljuk Empire determined its bio-policy on the people of the country as "to be the best fighting society ". To reach the determined bio-policy, it has used all its facilities in an organized way. The Seljuk Empire has achieved this goal thanks to the sky-squares. In addition to military physical education, Sky-squares, which was opened to the use of people living in the city on certain days of the week, contributed both to the activity of the people in various sports branches and to the establishment of the enterprises that produce the sports branch of their interest and to the Seljuk economy.

Background: According to the World Health Organization, consuming a healthy diet throughout the life-course helps to prevent malnutrition in all its forms as well as a range of non-communicable diseases and conditions. The health of an individual is known to be influenced by his/ her nutritional status. People are now consuming more foods high in energy, fats-free sugars and salt/sodium, and many people do not eat enough fruits, vegetables and dietary Fibre such as whole grains. The exact makeup of a diversified balanced and healthy diet will vary depending on individual characteristics, cultural context, locally available foods and dietary customs. Objectives: To assess the nutrient intake and measuring the nutritional status among the women in childbearing age at the rural areas. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the dietary intake and the nutritional status of the rural women in the five different villages of Gadag district, Karnataka. Their socio-demographic details, food intake related data were collected using a questionnaire. 24 - Hour dietary recall was calculated using nutrient composition table and their nutritional status was calculated using BMI (Body Mass Index). Results: 105 women were interviewed. Majority of participants were of secondary school (32.38%), middle school (28.57%) and a majority of them were housewives. Majority of the participants (88.57%) energy intake was less than the recommended, all the 105 participants (100%) protein intake was less than 1gm/kg/body weight, majority of them consumed more fat (72.38%), sodium intake of all the participants 105 (100%) were more. The nutrient intake was calculated using a nutrition composition table from the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research), NIN (National Institute for Nutrition), Hyderabad. And the majority of their nutritional status (BMI) were normal (51.42%). Majority of the food groups consumed daily by the participants were cereals (96.19%), followed by pulses (64.76%) which were consumed majorly on 2 – 3 times in a week. Fruits (45.71%) and vegetables (63.80%) were consumed every week. Milk and milk products were consumed daily (87.61%). Conclusion: The main food groups consumed daily were cereals followed by pulses. The energy, protein intake was less and fat content was more than the recommended and nutritional status was normal among half of the study population.

The aim of this study was to assess and compare blood glucose, lactate and pyruvate concentrations changes during Wingate exercise and 10 min post-exercise recovery in football players with different aerobic capacity levels. Blood glucose, lactate and pyruvate concentrations were measured in 27 amateur football players during supramaximal Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT). The subjects were divided into two groups: group1, 16 subjects with maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) values whose were higher than 60 ml/kg/min; group 2, 11 subjects with VO2max values lower than 55 ml/kg/min. All subjects performed WAnT after determining the VO2max using an incremental test. The WAnT was performed on an Ergomedic cycle ergometer. Blood samples were collected at rest, at the stop of WAnT and during the 10 minutes’ recovery (following WAnT). Only slight and no significant decrease was observed during WAnT for blood glucose: 5.5±0.3 mmol/L vs 4.9±0.3 mmol/L, group 2. Very large increases in lactate and pyruvates concentrations were found at the WAnT stop: 12.41±0.15 mmol/L vs 1.57±0.14 mmol/L for group 1, 13.87±0.12 mmol/L vs 1.84±0.25 mmol/L for group 2. The peaks of [La] were observed at 2 min post-exercise WAnT: 12.83±0.23 mmol/L and 14.59±0.32 mmol/L respectively. The same trend was observed for pyruvate concentrations. Blood [La] concentrations measured during 2 min to 10 min recovery decreased significantly, and were significantly and negatively correlated with VO2maw. This study clearly confirm that a brief and supramaximal Wingate exercise induced higher lactate and pyruvates concentrations increase in football players with high VO2max level than others with low VO2max level. The major responsible factor is glycolytic capacity.
