Reading is an important part of language learning. We can detect the vocabulary and grammar abilities of English learners through reading, cultivate their senses of English language, and deepen their understandings of English readings. When students learn English at college, they need to memorize 4000-6000 words. In addition to memorizing words in daily life, reading is one of the important ways to improve students' vocabularies. However, most college students do not really understand the main purpose of an article. In view of the current status of English reading, foreign journal intensive reading apps have created convenient conditions for students to learn English anytime and anywhere, so that students can choose their own learning content and adopt multiple forms of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Learning methods are mainly divided into two types, learning through audio materials in the apps and self-reading. This article explores the two different methods hoping for a little contribution to their English learning.

Natural antioxidants and their association with health benefits have gained unprecedented attention in recent years. They have multiple functions in biological systems and mainly defense against oxidation that produce free radicals in food, chemicals and in living systems. During the past decades, synthesized nanoparticles from marine organisms and many of these substances have been demonstrated to posses exciting biological activities. With this background, S. wightii and its AgNPs were analyzed for their antioxidant properties. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles was carried out using the aqueous extract of S. wightii. The aqueous extract of S. wightii showed significant potential for the quick reduction of silver ions. The antioxidant properties of green synthesized AgNPs was carried out and it showed significant activity when compared with standard. The present work of green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using S. wightii appears to be cost effective, eco-friendly, and an alternative to conventional method of synthesis. In the present study, the aqueous extract and its synthesized AgNPs showed high antioxidant activity to the best of our knowledge. Hence, green synthesized AgNPs of S. wightii can be used as a potential therapeutic drug for various diseases due to its bioactive properties.

Forest conservation is the practice of planting and maintaining forested areas for the benefit and sustainability of future generations. Forest conservation involves the upkeep of the natural resources within a forest that are beneficial to both humans and the environment. This paper attempts an insightful look at the contributions of forest conservation in Ngongbaa on agricultural land use change and how it affects crop production and subsequently the population. This approach considers forest as an important asset to the entire rural community and forest conservation as an obstacle to their development. The methodology used consisted of data collection through interviews, questionnaire administration, participant observation and on-the-spot appraisal. The findings revealed that forest conservation is hindering crop production which directly affects the provision of basic needs like food, clothing and home heating. There is the need for creating an enabling environment which will assist indigenes without making them become miserable such as; encouraging indigenes to carryout apicultural activities in and out of the forest, promote and encourage farmers to carry out agroforestry activities, as well as encouraging indigenes through financial aid to carry out small and medium size trade. This will help to boost their income and diversify their rural activities.

Taiwan's medical system has the function of connecting the whole Taiwan on the construction, so doctors can observe and seek medical treatment immediately. Such a process can be helpful for real-time information of patients. The main concern behind this system is that hackers may leak patients' personal information, leading to patients' personal privacy rights. In the case of COVID-19 in 2020, Taiwan began to introduce a medical tracking system, which includes the patient's medical records and data uploaded to the health insurance system database; so that doctors can visit the patient's medical records related to the patient's medical treatment and the relevant prescription records. Is this a good system for patient rights? Is there a problem with the patient's right to privacy? Our study found a positive correlation between health system privacy, information sharing, physician prescribing decisions, and consumer satisfaction. The number of samples investigated in this paper was N=270, and the main responses were 253, with a recovery rate of 97%.

Metal ion contamination in the environment causes hazardous effects on plant growth, yield production, and also led to physical and chemical changes. Sunflower(Helianthus annus L.) plant is added to be one of the most edible seed crop growing in harsh climatic regions.it also have good water use efficiency. The study remains unclear about the physiological growth of sunflower with treatment of Zinc. A pot experiment was conducted in the old Botanical Garden at University of Agriculture, Faisalabad to analyze and check the impact of heavy metal zinc sulphat stress on sunflower (Heliantuus annuus) two hybrids FH687 and FH674. After three weeks varying concentration of zinc sulphate (0mM, 20mM and 40mM) along with 250ml tap water was applied in rooting medium. Every day 250ml water were applied to each pots .The crop was harvested after 45 days and morphological parameters were studied such as root length, shoot length, root weight, shoot weight and number of leaves. Zn stress significantly reduced the growth attributes. A marked drop in all morphophysiological attributes such as root length, leaf number and shoot length was recorded. Maximum reduction of growth, biochemical and physiological parameters was noted at 40mM concentration of zinc. Zinc toxicity involve in inhibition of cytoplasmic enzymes and damage to cell structures due to oxidative stress.it alter the catalytic function of enzymes which damage the cellular membranes and inhibit root growth. Zinc stress cause maximum effect on hybrid FH674 as compared to other hybrid FH687.

General and hand hygienic practices are cost-effective methods to prevent the transmission of nosocomial infections. Hand hygiene practices are faulty in most healthcare settings. This study is designed to assess the general and hand hygiene practices among medical and nursing students of the University of Hail in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This is a cross-sectional study conducted among medical and nursing students. A detailed questionnaire was prepared and piloted before the final interview. The participation of students was voluntary and the questionnaires were kept anonymous. The majority of the medical and nursing students, who participated in this study, were males (88%), with 94% in the college of medicine and 82% in the college of nursing. The majority of both medical and nursing students had good hygienic and good hand washing practices. Hand washing practices were almost similar (p>0.05) in both male and female students. This study showed a higher percentage of general and handwashing hygienic practices among medical and nursing students. However, multifaceted and dedicated efforts must be undertaken to rectify this practice from early on.

Objective: The purpose of the study to assess the relationship between oral health and the general health of individuals especially tooth loss and the systemic illness. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of 804 digital orthopantomograms (OPGS) taken of patients, age ranging between 20 and 70 years, who presented to treatment at the Regional Dental Center, AL-Qassim, Saudi Arabia between 2018 and 2019. The OPGS and dental records were reviewed for missing teeth among patients with systemic illness. Results: We found a high prevalence of tooth loss in hypertension (10.63), DM (9.62), hypothyroidism (6.79) and Asthma (6.35). Conclusion: This study reported a high prevalence of tooth loss among the patients with systemic illness rather than the patients with no systemic illness. The presence of more than one illness and older age patients showed a high prevalence of tooth loss. These findings clarify the importance of the effect of the systemic health on the oral health.

The unemployment situation in Nigeria poses serious threats and challenges to both government and well meaning citizens. The Nigeria government introduced entrepreneurship education as a pathway to stimulate self- sufficiency, self-sustainability and self-support culture in students. The aim is to ensure graduates take advantages of personal resourcefulness to be self-employed. This could only be possible when government educational policies are geared towards a functional education that can lead to job creation and also self reliance. This paper examines how the entrepreneurship education could serve as Panacea for Self-reliance and Job Creation to Nigeria Institutional graduates. The paper recommends that funding of entrepreneurship education should be taken seriously by the Government. This can be achieved through increase in the budgetary allocation to educational institutions.

Over the last years, the management of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been renovated and modernized. Timely treatment or storage of municipal waste does not, however, solve the problem of the threat MSW may pose for human life and environment. Therefore, projects of modern thermal plants for the processing of municipal solid waste, such as eco-incineration plants, have been launched on the market. It is not only possible to carry out the process of utilization of MSW, but also to obtain renewable energy. The result of MSW incineration is fly ash and bottom ash. In the fly ash composition, there are present chemical compounds such as silicon dioxide, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide and calcium oxide. The carbonation process is a process in which calcium or magnesium oxide may react with carbon dioxide, forming carbonates. The mineral carbonation is possible with the use of high-calcium fly ash as one of the substrates of this chemical reaction. As a result, it produces carbonates which are not harmful to the environment as well as to humans. The idea of the experiment was to carry out the process of mineral carbonation of fly ash from the thermal treatment plant of municipal solid waste. The whole process was carried out at elevated pressure, and temperatures. After the experiment, several instrumental analyses were performed on the tested samples, such as XRD analysis, SEM scanning electron microscopy and IR infrared spectroscopy. The free calcium content was determined.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) remain the most common infections that affect all age groups worldwide. This study was aimed at determining the multidrug resistance (MDR) and plasmid profile of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli among patients attending Urology Clinic of Dalhatu Araf Specialist Hospital (DASH) Lafia, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. A total of two hundred and two (202) urine samples were collected in sterile containers and analyzed using standard microbiological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility testing of the isolates was carried out using standard laboratory guidelines. Of the 202 samples analysed, 104 (51.4%) had significant bacteriuria. Staphylococcus aureus showed high resistance to Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, and Norfloxacin while E. coli was highly resistant to Rifampicin, Ampicilin, Ciprofloxacin and Ofloxacin. A total of 19 (18.27%) isolates were resistant to more than two different classes of antibiotics i.e. MDR. Out of the 19 MDR isolates, 11.29% were S. aureus while 19.35% were E. coli. These isolates were carrying plasmid for MDR ranging from 2500 base pair (bp) to 6000bp for S. aureus while 11,849bp for E. coli. Plasmids were therefore implicated to be responsible for drug resistance in most of the UTIs. Therefore, proper hygiene by individuals and public awareness policies by government agencies should be encouraged; and antibiotics for the treatment of UTIs should be based on these current antibiogram results.

Diabetes mellitus prevalence has been growing up rapidly. Consequently, physical, psychological, and socioeconomic burdens were increased due to the treatment and diabetes-related complications. Complications are favorable among poorly controlled diabetic patients. To prevent or delay the complications, then, diabetes self-management is an appropriate way to cope these problems. Presently, patient empowerment in diabetes education and self-management is an effective way to increase the adherence to the diabetes treatment. Education means disclose information about their conditions and management-related DM. Diabetes patients have right to receive information regarding their conditions and treatment needed. This right is related to their autonomy to choose and decide their own treatment. Then, it is not fair if we blame them as not adhering when they did not receive any important information regarding their treatment clearly. This study aimed to describe the ethical issue in diabetes self-management engagement.

Road Safety Audit (RSA) is a formal procedure for assessing accident potential and safety performance of new and existing roads. RSA is an efficient, cost effective and proactive approach to improve road safety. It is proved that RSA has the potential to save lives. RSA appears to be an ideal tool for improving road safety in India, as basic and accurate data on accidents have yet to be collected. The study aims to evaluate Road Safety Audit of a section of four - lane Madurai - Chennai, National Highway (NH) - 45 and will focus on evaluating the benefits of the proposed actions that have emanated from deficiencies identified through the audit process. After conducting RSA, it is found that trucks are parked on highway which reduces the effective width of carriageway and creating traffic hazards to high speed moving traffics. Unauthorized median openings were found which should be immediately closed. Missing road and median markings to be done and speed signs should match with speed. Access and service lanes are also in deficit which requires immediate improvement. The most Vulnerable Road User (VRU) i.e. pedestrians and cyclists facilities near habitations are lacking and needs to be facilitated on priority.

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common disorder characterized by downward displacement of pelvic organs through vaginal wall. Women of advance age, multiparous, with history of previous gynaecological surgeries are at risk of developing POP. Various clinical features associated with POP are something coming of vagina, altered bladder habits or defecation problems. These features affects the quality of life of a women, thus timely management of POP is essential. It can be managed conservatively or surgically. Surgical approaches are hysterectomy, sacrohysteropexy, sacrocolpopexy and pectopexy. Sacrohysteropexy/ sacrocolpopexy are considered as the gold standard procedure of management of POP. However, recently, another procedure i.e. laparoscopic pectopexy is described as a new alternative procedure, which is equally effective and associated with lesser complications. Thus, authors hereby review the literature to compare laparoscopic pectopexy over Sacrohysteropexy/ sacrocolpopexy.

The aim of this research is to provide a model for optimising the sectoral portfolio selection by using game theory during a general elections phase. We select stocks from Bursa Malaysia and calculate the payoff for each stock and its coalition sectors by averaging returns. The value of the game is at the same time the characteristic function of a multiple-player game which will be applied to obtain the Shapley value using the cooperative game theory approach for finding the optimal increment of the returns. We also compare the Shapley value percentages obtained for both periods of the 13th Malaysia General Election (GE13) and 14th Malaysia General Election (GE14) to indicate the impact of GE14 on investment. This research will lead to optimal portfolio selection before and after an election.
