The play "This place does not exist" has been recently released in Peru, it is promoted as a social protest against illegal mining and prostitution of teenagers in the peruvian jungle, however, a scientific analysis reveals that it has actually been carefully designed with a goal : the promotion of brain internet in the jungle. The play belongs to the millionaire media campaign to promote the cerebral internet and digital fascism. The transmission of thoughts from the cerebral Internet via wi-fi is recreated in its advertising that shows an adolescent with an open brain and an recreation of transmission of thoughts, the transmission of private life with cerebral Internet is promoted subliminally under the argument of visibility as the main way of getting out of poverty. Although this play is promoted as a social protest against slavery of teenagers of the jungle actually it promotes sexual slavery with surveillance and mind control of these teenagers with brain net.

In fact, textiloma is a postoperative complication. It is very rare but well-known. Besides, it could be a strange body consists of compresses or surgical remaining field at the level of an operating area. In other words, the discovery of the abdominal textiloma is generally late. Therefore, the history is essential for diagnosis since the clinic isn’t conclusive. The clinic combines chronic transit disorders with suboclusive syndromes and the abdomen image which makes the preparation less effective. In addition to that, the ultrasound is reliable. The computed tomography allows an accurate topographical diagnosis. Some teamworkers suggest some explorations concerning the MRI. Thus, we report a case of intra-abdominal textiloma with an operated patient for a cesarean section.

Mechanical ventilation is a lifesaving modality in critically ill patients. It is achieved through passage of Endotracheal Tube in the trachea for the assistance in breathing and removal of tracheal secretions. ETT tends to interfere in the function of mucociliary ladder putting the patient at risk for accumulation of secretions which requires an utmost need for endotracheal suctioning. This invasive procedure ensures the patency of ETT and deliverance of adequate oxygenation to the patient, but lack of knowledge and malpractices of the nurses tends to put the patient at risk for certain complications. The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of structured training program in enhancing performance knowledge of ICU nurses in terms of ETT suctioning. For the evaluation of knowledge and skill, a questionnaire and observational checklist was developed along with the protocol of ETT suctioning in the context of evidence based guidelines. Quasi experimental design was chosen with purposive sampling technique. The sample size was 50 students of Post Basic Diploma in ICU/CCU from various college of nursing of Lahore and Islamabad. Findings of the study proposed that post implementation knowledge and practices of ICU nurses were immensely improved with p value of 0.00, respectively. Henceforth, the structured training program proved to be promising and had a meaningful influence to enhance the performance knowledge of ICU nurses in relation to ETT suctioning guidelines.

This paper highlights the review of the behavior and strength of strengthening reinforced concrete columns by reinforced concrete jacketing. Even with the fact that on a massive scale, numerous experimental studies on column strengthening with the assistance of reinforced concrete jacketing are performed after which suggested, however, there may be nonetheless an apparent need for locating and executing new approaches to improve the performance of classical RC jacketing. As in the case of RC structure, columns are subjected to uniform and non-stop loading, which increases with the boom in a number of stories and might cause partly damage or even general failure of the column. To overcome the whole failure of RC columns, instant attention is needed in and the broken part of reinforced concrete repaired by way of reinforced concrete jacketing. This paper additionally focuses on the effect of presenting dowel rebar by way of drilling holes and using concrete jackets made with particular types of concrete. The results show that each use of dowel rebar and distinctive kinds of concrete will increase the bond strength, basic load wearing capability, and primary crack load. Critical cases clarified to avoid such as reinforcing limit and form, type and property of concrete, types of surface preparation, and a recommendation for high temperature.

This paper examines structural transformation mechanisms in developing countries, focusing on the shift from high-productivity, tradable sectors (agriculture and manufacturing) to low-productivity, service sectors and assesses how these elements contribute to rising income levels. Different relationships exist between countries’ structural transformations and economic development. The first group of countries shows sluggish income growth and rapid growth in services, and the second group of countries shows a more gradual shift to services, resulting in higher economic growth. With a simple, static model, with sector-specific distortion that replicates the actual, two-sector, relative TFP, capital stock and capital share well, we find a gradual increase in capital intensification in the tradable sector, coupled with a gradual shift to services (in line with comparative advantages) is the most important cause of sustained economic growth.

This paper empirically examines firm-characteristics determinants of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) likelihood by Malaysian public listed firms. This study specifically investigates the impact of firm characteristics on acquisition likelihood using 9998 firm-year observations during the period from 2001 to 2018. Past studies regarding Malaysian M&As mostly focus on the performance of M&As and its determinants. Using probit regression, findings suggest that firms’ size, sales growth, and stock return positively affect firm probability to involve in M&As. while, leverage, profitability, cash holding, and tangibility affect M&A likelihood negatively. The findings also suggest that firms’ characteristics in the current M&A year can explain M&A decision better than they do in the pre-M&A year. Our findings provide insights to mangers, investors, and regulators in order to understand more about corporate takeovers which is an important growth and survival strategy for businesses.
