The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to almost all countries in the world, including Indonesia. Particularly in Indonesia, the COVID-19 pandemic has several impacts, not only on public health but also on lifestyles as a result of various policies from the authorities that apply to handling COVID-19, such as in the fields of economy, social, politics, education, to psychological. Some suggestions that are needed regarding the legal basis for implementing Work From Home (WFH) are as follows: (a) There is still a need for a new integrated policy between the central government and the regions that specifically regulates Work From Home (WFH); (b) The importance of regulating the rights and obligations of parties such as workers, employers, and related institutions in regulating Work From Home (WFH); (c) The importance of involving parties such as workers, employers, and related institutions in regulating Work From Home (WFH) so that the regulations are made more targeted.

Introduction: Eclampsia is a very serious and relatively frequent complication of pregnancy which is considered as ‘obstetrical tragedy’ to the unborn fetus the mother and to the obstetricians. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can reduce the maternal mortality due to eclampsia. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the maternal outcome of intensive care management for the critically ill eclamptic patients admitted in Dhaka medical college Hospital. Methods: This longitudinal prospective study was conducted in Eclampsia ward and ICU Ward of Dhaka medical college Hospital from January to December of 2004. Sixty Seven very critically ill eclampsia patients were included in this study. Relevant information regarding demographic, during pregnancy, complications, past history of eclampsia, history of antenatal check-up, including drug history were collected. Result: In this study among the 757 eclampsia patient, 67 (8.85%) were critically ill. Maternal mortality was 43.11% due to eclampsia. 70% patients had very high diastolic blood pressure, 44.77% patients have severe oliguria, and 61.69% patients had severe degree of proteinuria. 26.86% of patient’s level of consciousness was less than 5. Unavailability of bed is the prime (75%) cause of delay in shifting patient to ICU ward. Those treated by peritoneal dialysis recovered completely (100%). 25.37% patients had HELLP syndrome and 20.89% had CVA. The most common cause of maternal death in eclampsia ward was cerebrovascular accident 31.42% and in ICU multiorgan failure (33.33%). Mortality was very high among the patients who were with no ante-natal check-up (82.23%). Twenty patients received ICU support and mortality is 12 (60%), but among those 47 patients not received support mortality is 35 (75%). Conclusion: Many patients come to the Hospital at the terminal stages, not only with primary complications but also with many secondary complications. Therefore, a last minute best management effort should be given to everyone by when the complications are diagnosed, a teamwork approaches by multidisciplinary health care.

Most of the plants contain a variety of compounds that are principally active and work against the free radicals. Out of potentially active compounds in the medicinal plants, antioxidants are the most important of all the compounds. There are various flavonoids and antioxidants compounds that are actually possessing the chemical structure with the high stability. Seed biology is an intensive area of study, a reflection of the significance of seeds for several scientific areas. Animal mediated seed dispersal is important for sustaining biological diversity in forest ecosystems, particularly in the tropics. From an evolutionary perspective, the ability of plants to make seeds has conferred major selective advantages, accounting, in part, for the success of seed plants as the largest and most species rich group of land plants. It is important to remove the free radicals that are produced biochemically in the specific organ in order to keep as well as minimize the effects produced by the free radicals. The antioxidants possess certain properties that differentiated them to the other chemical compounds. Animals that are highly vagile are considered to be the most efficient at active dispersal. Highly vagile animals include many species of birds, bats, and large insects. Large aquatic animals are effective dispersers, and some terrestrial animals can disperse large distances on foot. Seed sensitivity to nitrate is affected by other environmental factors, such as light and after-ripening, and by genotypes. Biochemical eptides are the several types of the peptides that are found in the inner portion of the onions. These peptides are gamma-glutamyl-methionine, gamma-glutamyl-isoleucine, gamma-glutamyl-leucine and gamma-glutamyl-valine.

The major objective of this study is to identify the nature of political participation of different groups in a multicultural communal context. The study was carried out based in the Ampara District in the eastern province of Sri Lanka. The Ampara district has been a multicultural space from the formation of the district in 1961 and has been influential in electoral politics in ethnic context. This study has incorporated both primary and secondary data collected from different sources. The collected data has been descriptively analyzed. The study has found that ‘patron-client relationship’ of the political culture working as a mobilizing initiator for electoral turnout among the three major ethnic groups in the district. However, establishment of the distinctive political party for their own, Muslims of the coastal area of the district marked a major departure point of the community’s pattern of political participation. This development was a reaction to intense ethnic conflict between two major constituent ethnic groups of the country, i.e. Sinhalese and Tamils. The study has also found that there is a different pattern of political participation between the traditional inhabitant Sinhalese and the settlers in colonization schemes in the district. The traditional villagers show less interest in electoral politics while Sinhalese in the colonies have been very active. This is a shared feature of both Muslims and Sinhalese living in the colonies. On the other hand, the Tamils living in the area tends to amend to the political orders of the Tamils political elite based in Colombo and Jaffna. They tended to isolate themselves from other political parties. The study concludes that until Sri Lanka find a lasting political solution to the ethnic issue, segregation and fragmentation in multi-cultural context remains the pattern of electoral politics and building an overall Sri Lankan identity is next to impossible.

Technology has occupied a prominent position across the globe. It has come in to stay but with its own advantages and disadvantages. For many ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has done more harm than good, particularly amongst the youth. This study investigates the adoption of information and communication technology and its impact on the student’s academic performance. Factors like availability, accessibility and user ability of ICT in students of Bangalore Central University selected affiliated colleges have been checked along with their academic performance. To verify the hypothesis, Pearson correlation analysis method has been used to find out whether students learning have an effect from ICT. The findings revealed that the ICT resources are inadequate to use in these colleges. The number of computer functional units is limited, and so the accessibility to these resources is also restricted. From the study it was mainly understood that only some of the basic concepts and curriculum based programs were only taught to a minimum extent. In depth learning for usage of ICT was not in practice. From the research it was found that availability, accessibility and user ability has significant impact on the students learning.

Introduction: Literature revealed many studies were concerned with the ideal timing of skeletal discrepancies treatment regardless the type of appliance used. Aim: This study aimed to investigate perspective of orthodontists toward ideal timing for different treatment procedures with functional appliances and explore their association with the demographic background in Saudi-based offices. Materials and methods: In this observational analytical cross-sectional study a web-based questionnaire was distributed among members of the Saudi Orthodontic Society. Questionnaire involved background questions and closed-ended questions regarding timing of treatment, protocol of approaching, and length of treatment with functional appliances. Data analyzed in frequency tables and the use of association tests with significant level of p<0.05. Results: One hundred and four orthodontists (65% males, 35% females) completed the distributed questionnaire. Over 50% of orthodontists preferred to align the dentition after functional treatment. Majority (81.7%) preferred functional treatment of Class II deformities at the stage of late mixed dentition. Orthodontists were about equally divided in their management in terms of the phases of Class II treatment. Orthodontists revealed a high preference rate for early intervention by functional appliances during both stages of deciduous and early mixed dentition (81.8%). Accordingly, their treatment was usually pursued in two phases. The length of treatment with functional appliances in Class II cases was mainly preferred in the range of 7 to 12 months (61.5%) while in Class III a dominant preference for the period of 7 to 18 months of treatment (74%). Conclusion: Orthodontists’ training background was strongly associated with many treatment decisions using functional appliances especially in management of Class II cases.
