Background: Papulo-squamous lesions of skin include a heterogeneous group of disorders, often showing overlap in morphology and distribution of lesions, leading to difficulty in diagnosis. Distinct histopathological features and clinical correlation provides a definite diagnosis in these lesions. Aim/Objectives: To evaluate the spectrum of non-infectious erythematous papulo-squamous skin lesions from North West India. Material and Methods: This retrospective diagnostic analytical study was carried out in the Department of Pathology in a tertiary care centre in North-West India. Skin punch biopsies of clinically diagnosed non-infectious, erythematous papulo-squamous skin disorders were included. Diagnosis was confirmed on histopathological examination. Clinical & histopathological diagnosis of each patient was prepared & correlation performed. Results: Majority of patients were seen in 4th decade with a male predominance. Lichen Planus was the commonest histopathological lesion (42.9%) followed by psoriasis (22.9%). 5 cases of seborrheic dermatitis, 3 cases of pityriasis rosea and 2 cases each of prurigo nodularis and lichen planus pigmentosus were also seen. Clinico-histopathological concordance was observed in 77.1 % cases. Conclusions: Lichen Planus was the commonest papulo-squamous lesion observed in our study. Key histopathological findings and clinico-pathological correlation provides a conclusive diagnosis. Specific histomorphological diagnosis is paramount in distinguishing these lesions as the treatment and prognosis varies widely.

Construction in developing countries is still influenced by the labour force. Overall objective of the study is to analyse the challenges for improvisation on labour management system through work efficiency. Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (DHM) office, Department of Food Technology and Quality Control (DFTQC) office building and Dhobi Khola Bridge along Arniko highway- at bijulibazar were selected for the study. Schedule questionnaire survey with labours, interview with agents or labour supplier clients, contractor and their project manager were conducted at each selected site for primary data collection. Attendance records, minute of meetings of all three site as well different journal were analysed and reviewed for collecting secondary data. Fluctuation in availability of labor were found mainly in months of January, June, September, October due to festivals and agricultural purposes as very few of labors were specific labor for the industry. Pilling works were mostly done by the labor from India. Labors form Bardia, Kailali, Kanchanpur, Dhading were expertise for concrete work. Similarly labors from Dolkha, Sindupalchowk, Saptari, Dhading were engaged in from work. Rebar works were found to be performed by the labors from Saptari, Siraha, Udayapur, Sunsari where as labors from Dhading, Sindhupalchowk, India were engaged for brick work. Labors were lacking for piling work, retrofitting and electromechanical works. Labors were not being provided any training nor has any performance test been performed, only 6% of labor were trained rest acquired skill through working experience which is the challenge for immersing work. Construction companies had maintained their labors supply through agents or labors suppliers. In spite of their agreement regarding health and safety facilities, contractors do not provide it to labors satisfactorily. Labors management lacks a definite framework for their development and performance. Labor management should be ensured by ensuring job guarantee, remuneration, health facility, provision of leave and compensation. Construction industries should ensure better labor management by facilitating working condition through clear working methodology and labor card. Regular training, tool box talk should be conducted for skill development. Rather than project award to the lowest bidder priority should be given to specification and working methodology. Health and safety facilities, site infra structure should be incorporated as the submittal of the contract document.

This study aims to determine the extent of the implementation of the Regional Regulation No. 12/2018 on Regional Levies in Gunung Mas Regency on Calibration/Recalibration Service Charges, and to find out the obstacles that occur in implementing these policies. This research is located in Kurun Subdistrict, Gunung Mas Regency. The data collection technique was carried out in three steps, namely: observation, interview, and documentation. The informants of this research consisted of: 1) Head of Consumer Protection and Metrology Division of the Industry and Trade Service of Gunung Mas Regency; 2) Head of Metrology Section; 3) Metrology Sector Staff; and 4) Traders who have received services and who will assess how the policies calibration/recalibration are applied. This study uses qualitative data analysis following the concept of Miles and Huberman's model with the theory of policy implementation according to Edward III. The results of the study show that the implementation of Regional Regulation Number 12 of 2018 concerning Retribution for Recalibration Services in Gunung Mas Regency is still not effective. This ineffectiveness occurs due to several obstacles, namely the absence of socialization from the Dinas regarding the SOP for implementing Recalibration services to the community. This also resulted in a lack of public knowledge about the policy, which hindered policy implementation. Limited funds are also an obstacle in the distribution of information to the public.

Purpose: The research was conducted to determine the knowledge level, awareness status, delay level in treatment and causes of delay of the cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Sanliurfa province. Method: The research is a cross-sectional study. It was conducted between November-December 2018. The patients who applied to Sanliurfa Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Diagnosis and Treatment Center (SCLDTC) constitute the study population. 375 people participated in the study. Findings: The median age of the participants was 17 years (mean 22.1 ± 17.9) and 50.9% were under 18 years of age. 53.3% of the patients were female and 46.7% were male. The education level of 51.7% of adult participants and the mothers of participants under the age of 18 was below the primary school. 54.9% of the participants or their families did not work in any job. 45.3% of the patients had facial lesions. A delay was found in 41.4 % of patients although they directly applied to SCLDTC and 58.6% of them who applied to SCLDTC after referral. 344 of CL patients experienced a total of 570 delays in different stages of access to treatment. 32.8% of those who had access to CLDTC after direct application or referral had patient delay. The most common patient delay causes are assuming that it is acne with 16.5% and neglecting with 14.6%. Delays due to health care centers are mostly in public hospitals at 13.2%. 91.6% of delays are due to dermatology clinics. The reason for the delay is that misdiagnosis and the wrong treatment in dermatology clinics. 49.6% of the delay cases were caused by the CLDTC and the most common reason for the delay was the absence of medication with 48.4%. In the logistic regression model, where independent variables affecting the patient delay are evaluated together, that the lesion is on the face increases early treatment application 2.4 times and that having only one lesion increases it 1.8 times. Result: Patients' level of basic education and knowledge of the disease is low. Although the patients knew that they should apply directly to the CLDTC, patient delay levels are high. The presence of lesions in regions other than the face decreases patients' behavior of seeking early treatment. Therefore, the information and awareness of the patients and the society about CL should be increased, the patients applying to CLDTC and their relatives should be informed, these training should be pursued and supported by posters and brochures in women's support centers, schools, etc. Compliance training should be performed with appropriate time intervals in CLDTC, with dermatologist physicians, who will work in Sanliurfa in order to reduce system delays. Pentavalent antimony required for the CLDTC and other centers should be provided on time.

John Locke (1632-1704) is one of the most influential names in Western European society during the bourgeois revolutions. In his system of philosophy, education ideology plays a rather important role. Locke published a book of "Few Reflections on Education" in 1693, in which he formulated his philosophy of education. His views on education were radical for that era, and even though he wrote them nearly 400 years ago, they continue to influence the way we think about education and raising children today. Jonh Locke is a truly influential thinker and he is part of the group of British philosophers considered empirical, who believe that our knowledge and understanding of the world comes to us through "sensory experience". In the framework of the article, the author clarifies some educational ideas of J. Locke, thereby analyzing its significance for the current Vietnamese educational innovation.

With a population threatening towards 133.92 crores it is important for a country like India, to make mandatory efforts, providing health benefits to all especially those who are devoid till date. A terrific amount of strain is now being placed on the available medical facilities due to the low doctor-population ratio in India, which limits the time available for doctors to communicate with patients, especially those who belong to a lower socio economic class. Thousands of deaths are reported from unsafe abortion due to the lack of trained abortion providers, lack of knowledge, availability of safe services, compounded by the social stigma surrounding abortion. To save themselves from the surrounding stigma, they then turn towards local, less experienced doctors who charge low but, due to the lack of experience and proper knowledge the condition becomes more severe causing Septic abortion. Septic abortion, whether induced or spontaneously occurs because of improper, unsafe, and inadequate removal of products of conception. Subsequently products of conception become infected, bacteria infiltrate the placental tissue and infection spreads to the uterus. A condition unequivocally related to maternal complications such as hemorrhage, trauma and sepsis. Thus to avoid such outcomes the current article attempts to focus on the major challenges faced by the woman in India, further mentioning the prevention required and solutions associated with septic abortion.

Adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment are increasingly motivated by esthetic con¬siderations. The majority of this patients reject wearing labial fixed appliances and are looking instead to more esthetic treatment options, including lingual orthodontics and invisalign appliances. Since Align Technology introduced the invisalign appliance in 1999 in an extensive public campaign, the appliance has gained tremendous attention from adult patients and dental professionals. The transparency of the Invisalign appli¬ance enhances its esthetic appeal for those adult patients who are averse to wearing conventional labial fixed orthodontic appliances. Although guidelines about the types of malocclusions that this technique can treat exist, few clinical studies have assessed the effectiveness of the appliance. A few recent studies have outlined some of the limitations associated with this technique that clinicians should recognize early before choosing treatment options.
