This research, considering Tobin's Q as a proxy for market valuation, determines the factors relevant in firm valuation in
Indian equity markets. The study observes that Tobin’s Q is a sound measure for judging the firms' valuation in both
intrinsic and market terms. OLS based multiple regression models find the financial leverage and ROI as significant
determinants of market valuations in India. However, the degree of impact of these firms financials on Tobin's Q is time
varying and inconsistent.

Our study is based on a retrospective analysis of 18 cases of fibroma and pregnancy association in the maternity of CHU HASSAN II Fez MOROCCO over a period from 2014 to 2018 and whose purpose is to study maternal and fetal morbidity during fibroid association and pregnancy and to remind the therapeutic attitude vis-à-vis fibroids during pregnancy. The frequency of this association is 0.37%. It occurs mainly in women older than 30 years. Primiparous most often. In 61, 11% the diagnosis of fibroma was made for the first time during the pregnancy. Aseptic necrobiosis relatively frequent, accounting for 22.22% of all complications, it has evolved well under medical treatment. Although dystocic presentations, premature rupture of membranes, miscarriages and threats of premature delivery are frequently encountered, pregnancy is in most cases around the term. The delivery took place in 47.05% by Caesarean. The maternal and fetal prognosis is excellent. Treatment remains based on abstinence and regular clinical and ultrasound monitoring. Myomectomy during pregnancy is to be reserved for the torsion of pedicled fibroma and necrobiosis resistant to medical treatment. The association fibroid and pregnancy is not rare, the complications are frequent hence its membership in the lot of high-risk pregnancies. Early detection of complications and prevention of delivery hemorrhage would reduce maternal and fetal morbidity.

With the acceleration of globalization and the increasingly complex international situation, language is not only a written
symbol, but also a social and cultural function to mark countries and nations. Great changes have taken place in people's
view of language. Some linguists are no longer confined to the study of micro-linguistic phenomena such as
pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, but focus more on macro-linguistic phenomena closely related to national
interests and national security. Especially with the development of modern informationization in recent years, language
policy has also become an important topic of concern to linguists. This paper discusses the research of American
minority language policy based on knowledge base from the research background, research purposes, research ideas,
research methods, innovations, and theoretical and practical significance.

Objective: This study aimed to perform a systematic review, in order to investigate the effects of a non-pharmacological
therapy (TENS) in cancer pain through clinical trials. Methods: 208 studies were identified in those databases, after title
and abstract analysis, 198 studies were excluded. A total of 10 studies were selected for full-text analysis. Six papers
were excluded based on exclusion criteria, resulting in 4 studies included for this systematic review. Standardized forms
were used for analysis. Risk of bias was assessed with the “Cochrane Collaboration” tool, which assess five different
domains. Results: Selected studies were randomized clinical trials that investigated the use and/or feasibility of
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on patients suffering from cancer-related pain. However, studies had a high
divergence regarding sample, methodological design, treatment parameters, and outcomes assessed. Two studies, one
involving pain related to breast cancer treatment and other investigating TENS on palliative care, showed no difference
from placebo. Other two manuscripts report positive effects on pain, one on cancer-related bone pain and a second on
cancer-related postoperative pain. Conclusion: We concluded that there is no sufficient evidence showing that TENS is
effective for treating cancer-related pain. Additional research, with larger sample sizes, sample homogeneity and
randomization and that investigate potential side effects is needed for a better assessment of TENS viability for the
treatment of cancer-related pain.

This paper presents human action recognition by using shape and texture based DMM-Haar features where collaborative
representation classifier is adopted for action classification. In this study, we have introduced effective feature extraction
technique based on Depth Motion Maps (DMMs) and Haar wavelet transformation, where different actions can be
represented with a range of features. Firstly, we have calculated three DMMs such as DMM front view, top view and side
view from 3D action video sequences as the shape features. After that, we have utilized Haar wavelet on the DMMs
generated images to extract texture information and concatenated all features as a feature matrix. We have utilized
principal component analysis for reducing the feature dimensions of the feature matrix. Finally, l2 normed based
collaborative representative classification technique is adopted to classify different actions. For this research, we have
analyzed the effects of the DMM-Haar features on experimental basis with DMM features based results. The
performance study of the proposed method is comparable with the state-of-the-art methods to recognize human action on
the publicly available Microsoft Research Action 3D dataset.

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a developmental disorder. It’s a rare congenital and the most common human forebrain malformation, occurs in 1 in 250 fetuses and 1 in 16,000 live births. Occurring due to incomplete cleavage of the prosencephalon. It is seen between the 18th and the 28th day of gestation. It is affecting face and forebrain and is associated with multiple midline facial anomalies. Herewith we report an antenatal case of such patient. Patient was evaluated and because of the lethal anomalous fetus, induction was done which led to a stillborn baby. The focus of this article will be on the pathophysiology of findings visible in fetal manifestation of the HPE spectrum.
