Background: Dental caries remains public health problem worldwide. It may develop in an early stage of life as soon as teeth erupt. Dental caries exhibits diminishing trends in most of the developed countries, but still increasing trends seen in many developing countries. Aim: To assess the prevalence of dental caries in 11-14years old school children in endemic fluoride areas of Haryana, India. Materials and methods: This study was a part of a cross sectional descriptive study which was conducted among 2200 school children of 11-14 years old age in endemic fluoride areas of Haryana, India. After obtaining the data from central ground water board, Haryana, 3 districts were selected using cluster random sampling out of 14 endemic fluoride districts. Dental examination was carried out by a single trained investigator. Socio-demographic details of children were recorded and WHO basic oral health assessment criteria for children modified (2013) was used for assessment of dental caries. The data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS 18 package for relevant statistical comparison. Results: In the present study 997 (45.3%) were males and 54.7% were females. Caries prevalence was reported to be 19% among the study subjects. Mean DMFT was found to be (0.27±0.70).

Law makers have now decided a derivative taxation novelty in Germany. It was unclear how the new law impacted the profitability of investments in comparison of the former taxation (T1). The purpose of the study was to find an answer to the research question: How does the derivative taxation novelty (T2) in Germany impacts the profitability of derivative hedging strategy returns in the German financial market? For this study, a comparative, quasi-experimental research design was selected. ETF and warrant prices, a simple moving average (SMA), along with a beta hedging model, and a t-test were computed. The T(2) had an significant higher effect compared to T(1), with 4-17% and a t-test with t(170) = 2.5042, p < .000. The T(2) unfolded its full potential with an investment amount of €30K, while the share of T(2) was 2% per month of the investment amount when hedging with a SMA(50) and a warrant with a omega =20 ω (leverage) strategy. Conservative retail investors that followed a low risk short warrant strategy, needed to hedge large investment positions, had a frequent hedging requirement, which generated larger losses, were affected the most by T(2). I recommended to closer verify equality for sustainable investing. The study can be relevant for law-makers, financial advisors, banks, online brokers, retail traders, finance students to learn more about the effect of T(2) on their investments.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses a variety of virulence factors that may contribute to its pathogenicity. Dissemination of resistant and highly virulent pathogens is also the main problem worldwide. Thus this study aimed to determine the frequency of oprI, Las B and toxA virulence genes among the clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa species. A total of 100 P. aeruginosa clinical isolates were collected from Hospitals and laboratories from different specimens during the period from August 2019 to November 2020. The isolates were re- identified using routine culture techniques, and multiplex PCR was applied to detect the presence of these virulence genes among them. It was found that the frequency of virulence genes were (22%) Las B, (55%) OprI, (15%) Tox A and (8%) mixed of OprI and Tox A. These genes were found with different percentage among the studied variables with the higher frequency among males, wound samples, except OprI were among 26-36 years age group and significantly among inpatients than out patients. The study concluded that all isolates carried either one or two of studied genes in different percentage while OprI represented the most predominant gene. Determination of different virulence genes of P. aeruginosa isolates suggests that they are associated with different levels of intrinsic virulence and pathogenicity.

Unani system of medicine is based on the theory of Mizaj and Akhlat which is considered as the basics of Unani therapeutics. Mizaj is defined as the admixture of four humours (Akhlat), the quantity and quality of which determines the particular Mizaj of an individual. Every individual has its own unique Mizaj (temperament), hence reacts to various internal and external stimuli viz.air, water, diet, drug, climate, emotions, body reactions etc. differently according to temperament. Hence, Mizaj plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment of any disease. Since, Hypothyroidism is considered as one of the most common endocrine disorders in which patient has somnolence, fatigue, cold intolerance, constipation, loss of libido, gain in weight etc. According to the classical texts of Unani Medicine, it is the concentration, quality and quantity of humours which forms the base and cause of health and disease in an individual. As per Unani doctrine, Mar’d (Disease) is caused either due to Su’ Mizaj (abnormal temperament), Su’tarkib( abnormal composition/structure) or Taffaruk Ittesal (discontinuity).This study was conducted at Regional Research Institute of Unani Medicine, University of Kashmir ,Srinagar Jammu & Kashmir to evaluate the Mizaj (Temperament) of patients of Hypothyroidism. Out of 60 patients enrolled for the study, 52 (86.6%) were Balghami, 03 (5%) were Damwi, 05 (8.3%) were Safravi and none was of Sawdawi Mizaj. Thus, it was evident that Hypothyroidism is more common in Balghami Mizaj patients.

The women are deemed inappropriate to be involved in politics. It certainly detrimental to women because in fact, in terms of women’ abilities, they have same abilities as men. The research is a sociological-law research with statutory, conceptual and comparative approaches. The research was conducted in Maluku province, Indonesia. The results show that in the view of Maluku society, women are Limditi Fenreu or glorified or worshiped, but also interpreted as being held. The role of women is sufficient to show their role to be involved in development, although in a small number and not comparable to the presence of men. Even to the village government. In Maluku, representation of women in village government leadership is only around 1.5% (one-point five percent), this is very small when compared to the total number of villages in Maluku. The lack of representation is influenced by factors of strong patriarchal culture, low willingness of women as a result of their low ability and unavailability of opportunities or opportunities as a result of legal arrangements that do not provide legal certainty. Women in government leadership in Maluku are transformational leadership with a democratic government leadership style.
