Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening clinical condition that has cost humanity heavily since time immemorial. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the red blood cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV) platelet count, and neonatal sepsis in Sudan. Material and Method: A prospective cross sectional hospitalized based study was conducted in Omdurman maternity hospital, in the period from June 2013 to April 2015.Hundred Sudanese neonates were grouped equally into two; case group were neonates with proven sepsis by the culture (N=50), and control group were healthy neonates (N=50). Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), and platelet count were performed by using hematological analyzer (KX-21 Sysmex) and the results compared between two groups. Result: Of the fifty sepsis group 23 (46%) were male, and 27(54%) were female. Whereas in control group 24 (48%) were male, and 26 (52%) were female. The mean age in case group was 9 days, and in control group was 4.3 days. The mean of platelet count was significantly lower in sepsis group than control, P value (<0.001). The mean of MPV and RDW CV were significantly higher in sepsis group than control, P. value (<0.001, and 0.026 respectively). In sepsis group, there were no significant change in MPV, RDW CV, and platelet count according to fate between died and recovered patient. Conclusions: The MPV and RDW were higher where as platelets count was lower in neonatal sepsis and these tests were inexpensive and commonly measured and may be with value in diagnosis and prognosis for neonatal sepsis. Further studies are required to determine the predicting value for MPV, RDW CV, and platelet count in neonatal sepsis.

COVID-19 can look dissimilar in different people. For numerous people, being unwell with COVID-19 would be a little bit like having the flu. People can get a fever, cough, or have a hard time taking deep breaths. The majority people who have gotten COVID-19 have not gotten very sick. Merely a small group of people who get it have had more grave problems. Most kids do not show to be at higher risk for COVID-19 than adults. As some children and infants have been sick with COVID-19, adults make up most of the known cases to date. Alterations of clinical manifestation between children and adults infected with SARS COV-2 were attributed to differences in immune response, which is depending on the levels of immuno-modulating agents. Several diagnostic methods were implemented to support the clinical diagnosis, up to date there is no constant protocol to treat SARS COV-2 whether in children or adults, extensive researches are needed to face this pandemic crisis.

The term volatility is simply synonymous with risk: in their view high volatility is to be deplored, because it means that security values are not dependable and the capital markets are not functioning as well as they should [22]. It measures how for the current price of an asset deviates from its average past values. The coefficients also suggest spillovers from the returns to the sentiments across markets. The coefficients indicate that high absolute sentiment scores in the stock market are expected to have an increasing influence on the commodity returns and a decreasing influence on the stock returns of the following day.

The Prime objective of the study was to find out the certain financial and operating issues prevailing in the Public sector banks in India. Issues which are identified in the research study includes:(i) Rise in cyber-attacks,(ii) Money Laundering cases,(iii) Non-Performing Assets of public sector banks,(iv) Inability to implement Basel III due to weak capital position, and (v) Challenges in Financial Inclusion along with low profitability of public sector banks about their massive asset base. The research paper also measures the volatility, systematic risk and unsystematic risk associated with 12 banks that are constituents of the S&P NSE banking index (BANKEX) (Nifty Bank INDEXNSE: BANKNIFTY) based on their daily returns. The Research study is to identify financial and operating risks prevalent in the Public Sector Bank. Parameters such as volatility and total risk change with respect to time, vary with bank, and thus need to be measured to enable better investing decisions. The study measures these parameters for stocks included in the S&P NSE’s banking index (BANKEX) (Nifty Bank INDEXNSE: BANKNIFTY). For volatility, the paper calculates the beta value of stocks with reference to the market index (S&P NSE Nifty). While calculating the value of beta acts as an input for further measuring value of systematic as well as unsystematic risk.

Tobacco smoke contains numerous compounds, the important substances of medical significance being the carcinogens (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), irritant substances, nicotine, carbon monoxide and other gases. Cigerette smoking is a well-known major risk factor for premature mortality due to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. There is also evidence that passive smoking may contribute to atherosclerosis by sensitizing neutrophils, causing their activation and subsequent oxidant-mediated tissue damage. To achieve a meaningful reduction in the burden to society of coronary heart disease, both passive and active cigarette smoking must be targeted. Many children are regularly exposed to cigarette smoke at home or in other environments, such as child-care facilities and schools. The only safe way to protect nonsmokers from exposure to cigarette smoke is to eliminate this health hazard from public places and workplaces, as well as from the home.

Theoretical and Sociological Aspects of Leisure Time

10.36348/sjbms.2020.v05i07.002
Our society is undergoing a constant change that encompasses all areas of human life. The importance of work and free time, the two central areas of life, has undergone a major change. The reasons are obvious: work alienation, increasing prosperity and the change in traditional social values have given greater importance to leisure time [1]. But despite the multifaceted social and technical changes over time, people have not realized the character and properties of time. The ultimate goal of this research is the theoretical and sociological approach to leisure time. The method adopted for the study was a review of the relevant literature. In the light of the present study, it is found that problems usually arise rather from human attitude towards time than time itself. The concept of time is comprehensive and encompasses physical and biological as well as psychological and social processes, which overlap and influence each other. The perception of time is not the same but varies depending on the person or the situation. Time seems to have a different qualitative and changing meaning. So, as people and their world change, so does the way they perceive time and the measures they take to deal with it. The way someone interprets past events, or thinks about the present and the future differs to a great extent from person to person. Some people consider their present life as a result of their past attempts; others think less of the past and enjoy life in the present, while others believe in the permanent repetition of already known things. The use of time in the course of the day or the week was the subject of research. No doubt, the 24 hours of the day pass just as quickly whether you are old or young, a woman or a man. Time is a phenomenon that is difficult to comprehend and perceive. Time is not always the same time. But with a closer understanding of the prevailing time apprehension, time budget and time patterns we can identify specific attitude structures towards time. Finally, it becomes clear that today we cannot talk about either leisure time park or leisure time society, since time is to a great extent allocated between managing work, house chores and essential hygiene as well as sleep. Only a few have the power to change their own time pattern and develop new dynamics.
