There is need to provide resilient security methodologies that do not require enormous computing resources. While entry prevention is the most viable disposition, it is not always possible to stop unauthorised access. Thus, it is critical to investigate the use of machine learning-based intrusion detection to buttress and provide sufficient security against DOS and other attacks in MANETs. Various anomaly-based intrusion detection systems employ varying techniques to identify anomalies in the context of diverse and valid variables. Most of these techniques, however, fail to capture and take account the physiognomies of MANETs. In the intervening time, usage of the internet of things in the provision of smart healthcare is expanding and the inherent risks snowballing. This study designed a model, which used a fusion of machine learning techniques through both simulation and a running prototype to achieve a more resilient intrusion detection system. The study was designed using functional decomposition methodology and implemented using PPDIO and evaluated on a MANET environment on both Linux NS 2 and further implemented on a network of Smart wearable devices and Raspberry Pi.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the prevalence of dental fluorosis and the factors associated with dental fluorosis among 12-15 years old female school children in southern sub-population of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A community-based, cross-sectional survey of 486 school children (females), 12-15 years age group in southern sub-population of Saudi Arabia using. Clinical examinations were performed using the Dean’s index by WHO 2013. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to gather exploratory data on Demographics, Socioeconomic conditions, Access to dental service and exposure to various sources of fluoride. Bivariate associations were examined using the Chi-square and Chi-square trend tests to evaluate the association of selected risk factors with the presence or absence of dental fluorosis. Samples of water were collected from water sources consumed and analyzed. Results: The overall prevalence of dental fluorosis in our study sample was 59.05% and the Community Fluorosis Index (CFI) was 0.4. Questionable fluorosis (50.21%) was the commonest fluorosis seen. The principal factor associated with the presence of dental fluorosis was the frequency of tooth brushing and the use of fluoride supplements with a p-value of 0.04060 and 0.0497 respectively. No significant association was seen between dental fluorosis and socioeconomic status or parental education, drinking water and the intake of tea/coffee, consumption of any type of fish.

This paper focused on information technology (IT) adoption among Cultural institutions in Western Uganda. It was aimed at identifying academic based references to information technologies that plays a role in safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), assessing the status of IT adoption by the cultural institutions and providing suggestions to stakeholders in culture on improving information technologies adoption in safeguarding ICH. IT technologies were grouped into two; online and offline based technologies. An examination on primary data collected using interviews and questionnaires revealed that adoption of these technologies is determined by I.T human resource, I.T knowledge of the users and resource base of the cultural institutions. In order to achieve full adoption of IT, There should be a right mix of offline as processing tools and online as dissemination and archiving tool; hiring and retain professional I.T human resources and increasing on I.T budgets. The paper concluded that without a right mix of all these aspects, I.T adoption as a driver of safeguarding measures of ICH remains can only remain dream for stakeholders in Culture.

Between all of the gynecological cancers, ovarian cancer, despite medical advances and the development of diagnostic tools such as biomarkers and detection techniques, remains a fatal cancer with high progression. Despite this, there is no effective screening strategy or standard treatment for ovarian cancer. If diagnosed during stage I, ovarian cancer has a 90% 5-year survival rate; however, there is usually a masking of symptoms which leads to an often late-stage diagnosis and correspondingly poor survival rate. Current diagnostic methods are invasive and consist of a pelvic examination, transvaginal ultrasonography, and blood tests to detect cancer antigen 125 (CA125). Unfortunately, surgery is often still required to make a positive diagnosis. Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) is the most common, whereas, stromal and germ cell tumors are of lower abundance. A Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) classifies patients as being at low or high risk for malignant disease using both the CA125 and HE4 results and a woman's menopausal status. The ROMA index was calculated according to the levels of HE4 and CA-125. HE4 and CA-125 values were input to the ovarian cancer risk assessment software, followed by automatic calculation of the corresponding ROMA index. The premenopausal calculation formula of the ROMA index was: 12+2.38 × LN (HE4) +0.062 6 × LN (CA-125). The postmenopausal calculation formula of the ROMA index was: 8.09+1.04 × LN (HE4) +0.732 × LN (CA-125). Such diagnostic medical methods and biomarkers include vaginal and pelvic examination, diagnostic imaging, serum CA125, and screening tests or a combination used in medical centers, however, it is necessary to find new biomarkers with long-term stability and high specificity and sensitivity to detect Ovarian Ca in early stages of disease.

Diabetes is a common cause of end stage renal disease and approximately 20 to 30% of all diabetics will develop nephropathy. Diabetic nephropathy is characterised by abnormal renal function with reduction of glomerular filtration and rise in the level of Serum Urea and Creatinine. The study was conducted at Princess Esra Hospital, Deccan College of Medical Sciences. Patients with Dm in the age group 35 Yrs – 55 Yrs and controls also of the same age group Glycosylated Haemoglobin (Hb A1C) was done to categorise patients into two groups. Patients with good glycemic control having HbA1c<6-7%, Studies have demonstrated that the complications of diabetes can be delayed or preventedif HbA1c can be kept between 6-7%. The other group of patients were having poor glycemic control with HbA1c above 8%. The following parameters were included in the study FBS, PLBS, HbA1cm Urea and Creatinine. These parameters were estimated in normal (controls) and diabetics (with good glycemic control) and diabetics (with poor glycemic control). It was found that the blood sugar, blood urea and serum creatinine levels were significantly higher in diabetic patients with poor glycemic control compared to diabetic patients with good glycemic control. Strong relationship of blood urea and serum creatinine levels was found with blood sugar and HbA1c levels. Blood urea, serum creatinine blood sugar along with HbA1c would be helpful to monitor the diabetes patients to assess renal function.

Introduction: Coagulase negative Staphylococci are a part of normal human flora .They are an important cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Previously they were considered as commensals but now they are considered as major cause of nosocomial bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections and various indwelling device‑related and prosthetic implants infections [3]. Aim: To determine the prevalence and susceptibility of Coagulase negative staphylococci and their antibiotic susceptibility testing from various clinical samples in a tertiary care centre. Materials & Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the department of microbiology, Saveetha medical college .76 strains of CONS were isolated from blood, urine and exudate from both OP and IP. Specimens were collected from various departments like ICU, NICU, General Medicine, SICU, MICU, OBG, ORTHO. Antibiotic susceptibility of all the isolated CONS was done according to CLSI guidelines. Result: In this study, most CONS species isolated were from blood (65%) followed by exudate (25%) and urine. Prevalence of CONS is more in females than in males among the people of 20-39 yrs of age. CONS were isolated more from GM and OBG wards. Staph epidermidis is the most prevalent CONS species followed by S.haemolyticus.26% were methicillin resistance CONS species. Regarding the antibiotic susceptibility, they showed high susceptibility to vancomycin, nitrofurantoin, linezolid, norfloxacin and resistance were seen in Penicillin, Cephalosporin group of drugs.

Introduction: Intestinal parasitic infections are the main health problems in developing countries which can cause mortality and morbidity among infected people particularly in children. They are also associated with stunting of linear growth, physical weakness and low educational achievement in children. This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in children. Material and Method: Pediatric Patients taking treatment in P.D.U. Hospital and Medical College, Rajkot- a tertiary care hospital in Gujarat, India, were included in study. Physical and microscopic examination was carried out in the total 368 stool samples received during from period January 2015 to July 2016. Result: 51(13.86%) stool samples showed presence of ova/cyst of protozoa or helminthes. Protozoal cyst or trophozoites were found in 33 (8.97%) while helminthic eggs or larvae were found in 19 (5.16%) of positive samples. Conclusion: Protozoa are more common than helminthes. It is an important public health problem. It is necessary to develop effective prevention and control strategies including periodic deworming, health education and environmental hygiene.

Historically ‘parole’ is a concept known to military law and denotes release of a prisoner of war on promise to return. Parole has become an integral part of the English and American systems of criminal justice intertwined with the evolution of changing attitudes of the society towards crime and criminals. In those Countries, parole is taken as an act of grace and not as a matter of right and the convict prisoner may be released on condition that he abides by the promise. It is a provisional release from confinement but is deemed to be a part of the imprisonment. Release on parole is a wing of the reformative process and is expected to provide opportunity status of the prisoner. Parole system means the system of releasing prisoners in jail on parole, by suspension of their sentences in accordance with the rules for the time being in force. Regular Parole is allowed for a maximum period of one month, except in special circumstances, to convicts who have served at least one year in prison.

The purpose of this study was to determine the different preferred learning styles of secondary school students in Nairobi County. The study was based on Felder Learning Style Theory and Keirsey personality learning styles theory. A purposive sample of 1,317 Form Two Students in private and public schools, 659 students were randomly selected for the study. The reliability of the treatment questionnaire in the pilot study was estimated using Pearson’s Correlation method and yielded a reliability coefficient of .723 which was high enough to judge the instrument as reliable. The collected data was analysed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Data were described and summarized using percentages, and means. Univariate Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of students’ preferred learning styles showed significant differences in preference to visual and verbal learning styles in receiving of information F (1,653) = 6.42, p = .012; in intuition and sensing learning styles in perception of information F (1,653) = 9.77, p = .011; in preference to visual and verbal categories of learning styles in receiving of information F (1,653) = 6.42, p = .012; and in preference to sequential and global learning styles in order of progressing the processing of information F (1,653) = 6.10, p = .014. The study recommends that the ministry of education science and technology ensure facilitation is done to enable teachers to detect the learning styles to use in a different setting.

This study focused on Jambi Province (Sumatera) which experienced a massive forest fire in 2015. It had destroyed 19,528 ha of land in including Berbak National Park. These fires directly lead to economic losses of the households near National Park and neighboring provinces. This study used a Social Accounting Matrix framework (simple version of a general equilibrium model) to simulate two scenarios if the government invest on reforestation and rehabilitation of forest and how it affected the household incomes for agriculture and non-agriculture groups in Jambi Province. The investment is estimated from the budget allocated for activities in the Berbak Region. From the simulation, the result showed rural and urban areas are positively affected under both scenarios due to the forestry investment. The positive impacts on the rural and urban households are relatively small in the first simulation, but more positively affected in the second simulation, however, it seems to intensify the income gap for workers and employers. The simulation results also indicated the absorption capacity of CO2 increases between 111 percent and 284 percent due to the investment in Berbak National Park.
