Ritonavir is an antiretroviral of the protease inhibitor class. It is used against HIV infections as a fixed–dose combination with another protease inhibitor, ritonavir (lopinavir/ritonavir). In the current research, the stimulated Raman biospectroscopy of liquid sample of Ritonavir was investigated. The stimulated Raman diffractions emitted through focusing the second harmonic laser beam Nd:YAG into the sample were recorded by Echelle spectrometer and ICCD detector. Increasing the energy of laser beam from 2.6 (mJ) to 16 (mJ) was led to increase in stimulated Raman signal but after breakdown threshold of liquid sample, more increasing of energy was led to decrease in stimulate Raman signals and for energies higher than 20 (mJ), they were disappeared.

Achievement goal setting and self-efficacy are two critical variables influencing learning achievements. Many scholars have studied the relationship between two variables by correlation analysis, regression analysis or path analysis. These methods, however, neglect the measurement error at all, which are inconsistent with the reality. Through a questionnaire survey among 266 first-year academic engineering graduate students, this study aims to clarify the relations among achievement goal setting, self-efficacy (SE) and English learning achievement (ELA) of engineering graduate students. Integrating the advantages of conventional statistical methods, Structural Equation Model (SEM) not only takes the measurement error into consideration, but also could study the structures of constructs and the relations among them at same time. The result shows that: 1)Achievement approach goal has a direct positive influence on English learning achievement, mastery approach goal and performance avoidance goal having direct negative influence, and mastery avoidance goal hasn’t obvious influence on English learning achievement; 2) Mastery approach goal has the best impact on self-efficacy, while performance avoidance goal has the worst impact on self-efficacy; 3) Self-efficacy, a mediating variable between achievement goal setting and English learning achievement, could improve English learning achievement efficiently.

As we know that large population in the world are living in regions of seismic hazards, at risk from earthquakes of varying severity and frequency of occurrence. The significant loss of life and damage of property occurs every year due to earthquake. Here the one of the best solution to mitigate the effect of earthquake on building is base isolation technique. The main mechanism of seismic isolation is to decouple the structure from base by providing seismic isolators. The Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) is mounted beneath the superstructure in base isolation system. The significant of base isolation device is to minimize the horizontal acceleration transmitted to the superstructure. It is very promising technology to protect different structures from seismic excitation. In this research, GF+4 storied regular, plan irregular (re-entrant corners) and vertical irregular (vertical geometric irregularity) building models were considered for both fixed base and base isolation in SAP. Response spectrum method analysis under IS1893:2002 was conducted in analysis software for the result of seismic performance parameters. The output results of seismic parameters were interpreted and compared. The SAP analysis results were compared and validated by ETABS software. Lead rubber bearings were designed as UBC 97 and used for base isolation. The research concluded that, Plan and vertical irregular LRB building found more seismically performed than regular LRB building however vertical irregular LRB building showed better performance as comparison to plan irregular LRB building.

Vertebral arteries are usually paired major arteries of the neck. Typically, they originate from the subclavian arteries coursing superiorly along each side of neck, merging within the skull to form basilar arteries. Different variant anatomy including assymetry, complete or partial duplication, fenestration and variable origin have been explained in the literature. We have a case report of 54 year old gentle man who presented with acute headache and vomitting in our institute. CT angiogram revealed left posterior cerebral artery aneurysm causing subarachnoid hemorrhage. DSA further revealed bilateral vertebral arteries arising from the common carotid artery and left PCA aneurysm.

The restoration of lost smile is one of the gratifying things a dentist can render to the society and it plays a significant role in achieving confidence. Just as there are no two smiles alike, there are no two smile makeovers alike. Each smile makeover plan contains a precise combination of treatments designed to address the unique needs and goals of the individual patient. An experienced, skilled dentist will be able to identify the precise approach to be adapted pertaining to the clinical situation which will yield the most stunning results possible. In some cases, that may mean performing just a couple of treatments to produce subtle refinements to a smile. In others, a more comprehensive approach may be necessary. It all depends on the patient needs and the clinical situation. This case report enlightens about an aesthetic rehabhilitation through an interdisciplinary approach.

Febrile convulsion (FC) is one of the most common problems of children under five years of age. This fear provoking condition creates anxiety among parents particularly in mothers which may lead to mismanagement. The study aims to determine the impact of educational interventions on maternal knowledge, attitude & practices regarding febrile convulsions before and after intervention. Study Design was Quasi-experimental (pre-posttest) and Setting was department of pediatrics, Jinnah hospital & Children hospital Lahore. Methodology: 100 mothers having children with febrile convulsions were selected by using purposive sampling technique for the period May to October, 2019. On the first day pretest was conducted in which knowledge, attitude and practices on febrile convulsions was assessed. After pretest they were intervened with 01 week educational sessions, each session was of 01 hour. Posttest was conducted after 01 week. Data was collected by using a validated and reliable questionnaire before and after intervention. Analysis was done through statistical package for the social science (SPSS) version 20.0.Result: mean, ± SD were given for quantitative variable while frequencies, percentages were given for qualitative variables. T-test was applied to compare pre & post effect of educational intervention on maternal knowledge, attitude & practices of FC. P-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. The post-test results revealed a significant increase in mother's knowledge (P = < 0.002), attitude (P = <0.01) and practice (P =< 0.04) of febrile convulsion. This study suggested that educational interventions worked efficiently in improving mother's knowledge, attitude and practice of FC.
