Physical activity provides important physical, mental and social benefits. In children and adolescents, participation in physical activity is associated with improved musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and mental health systems, including reducing anxiety and depression. The study aims to support the development of health promotion in school-age children. During March-April 2019 in three cities in Albania we conducted a transversal study with children aged 11 and 13 years. The total number of participants in the study was 1804, out of which 39 were excluded because they were unreliable and 87 were inaccurate in formulation. The participation rate in the study was 1678/1804 = 93%. Anthropometric measurements of children were performed via removable scale and stadiometer. Measuring weight was carried by the weighing scale accuracy ± 100 gr. and measuring capacity 200 kg and measuring the length of stadiometer removable scale accuracy of ± 1 mm. and the measurement interval from 20-205 cm. It measured 1660/1804 = 92% of the children participating. All data analysis was performed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) version 22.0. Reported 87 children (5.2%) that were not developed in any physical activity 7 days a week, 415 (24.7%) stated that they had developed physical activity 1-2 days, while 1176 (70.1%) children reported that they had developed physical activity at least three days of the week. In terms of body mass index categories, 137 (8.3%) of the children were underweight, 1209 (72.8%) had a normal body weight, 236 (14.2%) were overweight, and 78 (4.7%) of the children were obese. Our study found that boys perform more physical activity than girls, and the level of physical activity decreases with age. Attempts to lose weight or to keep the diet resulted more evident in girls than in boys. This behavior was more pronounced with increasing age.

Dengue fever is one of the most common arthropod-borne viral infectious diseases. The disease is now endemic in more than 100 countries in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific with an estimated two fifths of the world's population being at risk. The notable endemic viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) found in West Africa, including yellow fever, Lassa fever, Rift Valley fever, dengue fever and until recently Ebola have been responsible for most outbreaks with fatal consequences. These VHFs usually produce unclear acute febrile illness, especially in the acute phase of infection. In this context, early detection of infection with sensitive and specific laboratory tools and the prompt clinical management of this disease is a health care priority. Rapid and accurate methods for the diagnosis of dengue fever are important for optimum patient management and institution of early preventive strategies. In this review we tried to focus on role of Molecular methods in early and definitive diagnosis of dengue.

Introduction: The efforts towards elimination of malaria in Nigeria is being anchored based on a policy document - the National Antimalarial Treatment Policy (NATP). This study is to assess awareness of the NATP and the level of practice of malaria self-care among medical students and the University staffs working in the Medical college/Teaching hospital. Material and Method: A descriptive study that took place at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar involving medical students and members of the staff of the University working in the laboratories. Information was obtained from the participants through administration of structured questionnaire. Results: One hundred and thirty two (65%) were aware of the existence of national antimalarial treatment policy. One hundred and fifty two (73%) of the participants practiced malaria self-care. The association between gender and awareness of antimalarial treatment policy was statistically significant (p-value = 0.020; X2 = 5.46). The odds of being aware of antimalarial treatment policy was increased by a factor of 1.873 being a male rather than being a female (p-value = 0.61). Participants of younger age (age group 17–25) were more likely to visit Chemist shop to purchase antimalarial drug for self-medication than older participants. Conclusion: The level of awareness of the national antimalarial treatment policy was considerably high among the participants with an attendant high level of malaria self-care practices. There is room to improve on the level of awareness and to dissuade young people from practicing self-medication

Background: Lip prints can be used in crime investigation to establish the presence of a victim or a suspect at a crime scene since they are visible with the naked eye but latent prints are not visible with naked eyes. The examination of these features is called cheiloscopy. Cheiloscopy or Quiloscopy is simply the study of the patterns produced by the lip prints and their application. Aim: This study was aimed at investigating the association between lip prints types and gender and the proportionality difference in distribution of lip prints between male and female. This study will add to the body of knowledge information on the association of gender and lip print which will be beneficial to geneticists, forensic experts, biologists and everyone who has interest in security outfits. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study design with 450 volunteers. Volunteer subjects were conveniently selected from across Port Harcourt Metropolis. Results and Discussions: This study suggest that lip distribution is independent of the gender and what was seen in the upper right quadrant (URQ) could be by a coincidence and not strong enough to suggest that lip print distribution is dependent on gender. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that Type I is the most predominant lip print type, followed by Type II among the study population. The study showed that not all quadrants exhibited gender differences in the pattern of lip prints distribution. Only a one quadrant (Upper Right Quadrant) of lip prints can be said to have gender discriminatory indicators, and this maybe a mere coincidence. Thus, suggests that lip prints may not be a good predictive tool for gender.

The purpose of this article was to examine the relationship between understandings of God and the role of paranormal religious experiences among the Akurinu believers in Nairobi County, Kenya, as believers who share doctrines, beliefs and practices with other believers in African Independent Churches (AICs). The authentic hermeneutical procedure of interpreting God’s objective truth recorded in the Bible is instrumental to believers’ access to God’s truth. Two theories which guided the study were Divine Command Theory (DCT) and Diffusion of Innovations Theory (DIT). The study adopted mixed methods research which used descriptive research design. The study was conducted among believers sampled from Akurinu congregations registered with General Conference of Akurinu Churches Assembly (GeCACA) in Nairobi County. The study targeted population of 2600 Akurinu believers. A sample size of 336 Akurinu believers and 18 leaders was selected using simple random, proportionate and purposive sampling techniques, respectively. Validity and reliability were ensured through piloting and expert advice and piloting of instruments. Data were analysed using Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 22.0, to generate multivariate linear regression model at alpha=0.05 and findings presented in tables, frequencies, percentages and inferential statistics. The results indicated a strong positive correlation at r=0.659, which justified acceptance of an alternative hypothesis. The findings would help Akurinu leadership apply authentic hermeneutical principles which would increase the accuracy of God’s truth accessed objectively from biblical texts and applied as biblical contextual theology by Akurinu believers.

Internally Displaced persons (IDPs) camps are tents or buildings constructed or erected by the government or non- governmental organizations (NGOs) to accommodate people who have been forced to flee or leave their houses or places of habitual residence. In other words IDPS are centers that harbour those people who have been forced to abscond their abodes and places of habitation. These people who have not crossed an internationally recognized line that divide or separates the state but remain within the country’s border may be victims of inhumanity of man against man, victims of violence, confrontation, armed conflicts violations of human rights, terrorism, riots, communal clashes, religious conflict and natural and human made disasters. To avoid the effects of the above and fears of further attacks or revenge by rural groups or disputants which people have to flee or move to another safe place. In most cases, the homes or houses and places of work of these people are demolished or destroyed without any alternative thus, making them vulnerable and in dire need of assistance. In response to their plight government may construct camps to among others provide them with shelter, basic needs such as food, cloth, water, conselled them, care for them and above all assist them to overcome the emotional traumatization that are usually associated with such a nasty experience. It is against this background that this paper will illuminate the Boko Haram insurgence in Borno State, North eastern Nigeria and its role in the emergences of internally displaced persons (IDPs) camps in Maiduguri Metropolis within the context period, 2011 – 2017.

During the eighties and the beginning of the nineties, several countries experienced serious banking crises. Such proliferation of the problems of the large-scale banking sector has caused widespread concern. Indeed, banking crises undermine the functioning of the financial system and the economy in general. Most countries have tried to underpin the consequences of banking crises through various types of intervention ranging from the pursuit of accommodative monetary policy to the bailout of insolvent financial institutions with public funds. However, even when carefully designed, rescue operations have several disadvantages. The purpose of this paper is to assess the regulatory environment of banks, a decade after the Asian crisis. We will identify the factors relating to banking supervision contributing to the triggering of crises in emerging countries in the years 1990s and see if the countries have improved their regulation in 2007 and which coincided with the subprime crisis. For this, we have studied a sample of 105 developed and emerging countries over two years, 1997 and 2007.

This paper work aims at examining the strategic planning as a tool for enhancing corporate performance and analyses strategic planning tools and its implementation process. However, it has been noticed that organization are no longer seen to be focused and real. Evidence of actionable plans are no longer there in our organization as indication of appropriate strategic plan. A study was conducted into books of notable authors written on strategic planning and corporate performance and selected ideas are compiled in this paper report. Data used for analysis were collected through questionnaires and interview conducted. It was discovered that organization adopts strategic planning; it was also found that strategic planning is effective in organization policy. Finally, having discovered that strategic planning contributes to the profit of an organization and it equally has impact on the corporate performance in an organization. The paper recommends that as a result of effectiveness of strategic planning, organization should continue to adopt it and give more priority and also government should create enabling economic environment that will make strategic planning a fruitful weapon.

Introduction: Placenta is the fundamental and the only organ between the mother and the fetus. It is flattened discoid mass having circular or oval in outline. Placenta and its morphometry play an essential role in the proper growth and survival of the developing fetus. Objective: To study the correlation between placental morphometry in Low birth weight and appropriate control with its gestational age. Materials and Methods: It is a case-control study conducted in MES Medical College at Perinthalmanna, Kerala, India. Newborns with normal (>2.5 Kg) and low birth weight (<2.5kg), having 35-37 wks (Preterm) also, 37-42 wks, (term) of gestational age were included. In this study, 350 placentae were collected, immediately after the delivery, wash thoroughly, cleaned, and trimmed it for the morphometric analysis like shape, weight, maternal surface area, volume, thickness. Result: In this study, placental morphometry of low birth weight babies was comparatively lower than that of the normal birth weight babies. Parameters like weight, volume, and surface area of the placenta were calculated with gestational weeks, showed a positive and significant relationship with weight at birth and gestational age. Conclusion: The examination of the placenta can be helpful for the future postnatal life and resist early adulthood diseases of the neonates.

In this work, the effects of storage period on nine mechanical properties and moisture content of stored yam (Dioscorea spp) tubers were investigated. The mechanical properties of whole intact yam tubers of three yam (Dioscorea spp) cultivars in various treatments including: four levels of storage time at 75 days interval spanning 225 days, and four levels of loading positions namely at the head, middle, tail and vertical, were presented in this study. Mechanical compression tests were performed on three different cultivars namely: Ogoja, Gbangu and Agbo-yian. The results of the study showed that the force at bio-yield point, force at peak point, force at breaking point, and energy at bio-yield point during compression test in general is significantly higher in the middle of the tuber than other locations. The value for bio-yield force range from 1059 N for Agbo-yian to 4,500 N for Gbangu. So for safe stacking of Dioscorea alata in containers and stacks 1059 N is safe while for Dioscorea rotundata 4,500 N would be adequate. Energy follows the same pattern as forces. Results obtained from this study will be helpful in the design and fabrication of yam tubers harvesting and handling machines.

Piper betle L. is an evergreen perennial dioecious creeper and it is native to Malaysia. It is commonly used in our day to day life. In present investigation an attempt has been made for the pharmacognostic standardization and phytochemical evaluation of Piper betle L. leaves. The pharmacognostic evaluation comprises of detailed morphology, powdered microscopy, quantitative microscopy and physical constants such as extractive and ash values. The leaves extract were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening. The data obtained in present study will serve as valuable tool for identification, authentication and detection of adulterants standardization and quality control of the drug. In this research work the anthelmintic property of leaves extract of Piper betle L. belonging to family Piperaceae was studied for anthelmintic activity against Pheretima Posthuma (Indian earthworm). The leaves powder of Piper betle L. was subjected to successive extraction by maceration using solvents like Aqueous, Acetone + Aqueous and Pet. Ether. Four concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 mg / ml) of different extract of leaves were studied in a bioassay, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms. 100 mg/ml conc. of Aqueous + Acetone extract of leaves of Piper betle L. reveal considerable anthelmintic activity as compared to other two concentrations and piperazine citrate (10 mg/ml). Piperazine citrate and saline water were included in the assay as standard reference drug and control, respectively.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a deficit in social communication, as well as restricted interests and repetitive behaviours. Various misconceptions about ASD management are rising, leading to parent's confusion and suffering and possible serious harm to ASD patients. This review aims to shed light on common misconceptions about ASD management, including the relationship between ASD and vaccines, the use of chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and gluten-free diet. In conclusion, there is no evidence of a link between vaccinations and the development of ASD, as well as no evidence to support using chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and a gluten-free diet, but rather there is evidence of harm. Educating parents to weigh the benefits and risks is a vital role for any health care provider.

The labor service provider sector has a role in efforts to support services to customers. But on the other hand, when customers want to build or renovate a house; it is difficult to find building materials and service providers in one system. Service providers will provide expertise in building and renovating homes based on customer demand. Based on this problem, researchers built a Project Service Information System that aims to facilitate customers, service providers, and suppliers in a system called eMarket place Si Jas Pro. Expected to be able to help and open business opportunities for small building material entrepreneurs and building service providers, make it easier for customers to buy material needs and find service providers, customers know the prices and material services so they can estimate their desired needs, customers can consult with building consultants, provide work sketches and provide comments on service provider work to improve customer service.

The early loss of maxillary posterior teeth leads to maxillary sinus pneumatisation, reducing the alveolar ridge height, and thus posing challenge for implant placement. Owing to mechanical and anatomic difficulties, implant treatment in the atrophic maxilla represents a cumbersome task. The maxillary sinus floor augmentation procedure is still not universally accepted because of its complexity and its unpredictability. This condition may be treated with an elevation of the maxillary sinus floor, which is usually accomplished by lateral or transcrestal approach to the antrum. As an alternative to these augmentation procedures, a more conservative treatment option would be to either place short implants or to bypass the sinus floor. This case report emphasizes on maxillary sinus by pass with tilted implants in close proximity to the sinus wall, thus, avoiding sinus floor elevation & bone grafting procedures.
