It is stating the obvious that China is having what it deems as a „peaceful rise‟ in the global arena. Many scholars believe that the most important dimension of China's Rise in recent years is in its economic front, and that China's foreign policy trend indicates some economic programs encouraging the country to enter the Middle East. During the recent decade, energy security has been significantly important for China and has become her main priority concerning the Middle East and Iran is one of its leading allies in this regard. This paper examines the role of energy in Iran-China relations. Its main argument is that energy and its secure supply is a determining factor in China's policy for developing relations with Iran. Qualitatively driven and relying on the secondary sources of data, the paper uncovers that because of a lack of internal oil resources, China has adopted a policy of getting energy supply from external resources and for such supplies, Chinese leaders have always had an eye on Iran. It equally discovered that following the sanctions imposed on Iran, China could particularly pay for energy imports from Iran through barter, hence expanding its exports to Iran. The paper concludes that energy security is significant in relations between countries and that it remains at the center of Iran-China ties sanctions notwithstanding.

Knee osteoarthritis is the most frequent type of arthritis and is a main reason of disability. Its occurrence in India is 22% to 39%. In Contemporary medicine, OA is usually treated with Acetaminophen, aspirin and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as pain relief medicines. Extreme exploit of NSAIDs can escort to gastric complications. Total knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is extensively employed in the management for end-stage osteoarthritis but Pneumonia is one of the most frequent complications after knee Arthroplasty. It is the main reason of readmission and death subsequent to surgery. In Ayurveda, Osteoarthritis can be linked with sandhigata vata because of its similarity in clinical features. This is a case of knee Osteoarthritis who was suggested Arthroplasty. She was effectively treated with internal medication & some external therapy. Osteoarthritis is usually managed by Ayurveda practitioners but from this case study, it can be concluded that severe osteoarthritis may be managed by Ayurvedic intercession.

It is assumed that thematic progression (TP) patterns are correlated with genres including narration, exposition, description and argumentation. In order to figure out the distributions of TP patterns in narration and exposition, the present study conducts a comparative study. It adopts four TP patterns: continuous pattern, TP with continuous Theme, TP with continuous Rheme and alternative pattern. Two texts are chosen randomly from New Horizon English Course (Reading and Writing) [1], a textbook for non-English majors in China, as representatives of narrative and expository writings. This paper can be divided into five parts. First, this paper presents the background of this study. Then it introduces the theoretical framework involving thematic structure and different thematic progression patterns. As the main body, the third part focuses on the quantitative comparative analysis of distributions of TP patterns in the two genres. The fourth part is results and discussion and the final part is conclusion. The result shows that though both genres incline to utilize TP with continuous Theme and continuous pattern, narration prefers TP with continuous Rheme while exposition tends to utilize more alternative pattern. This paper testifies the statement that there exist differences between distributions of TP pattern in narrative and expository writing. It also attempts to provide enlightenments for guiding the teachers to help improve students’ reading and writing abilities.

Language is an important semiotic system. The nature of interaction is the communication and exchanges of information. Speech act refers to the fact that people use language to do something. Speech act theory originated with the British philosopher John Austin. Researches on speech act start with the study on the functions of language in daily life. Until now so many scholars conduct researches on the daily language based on speech act theory. With the development of mass media, people tend to use Internet more and more frequently. As a result, the Internet becomes an important part in people’s daily life. People use the Internet to learn, to socialize and to have fun. Media discourse is a complex system which consists of diverse categories. Nowadays, WeChat as a kind of mass media is popular. This article will conduct a research on the titles of articles in WeChat based on the speech act theory. Meanwhile, some feasible suggestions on how to write a good title are put forward.

One of the goals of legal development is to provide fair legal certainty and balance reflected in the outcome of the Judge's decision which constitutes a series of proceedings from investigation to socialization. But until now the point is not yet reached. Therefore, in order to understand the context, in this paper, it is conducted by using a socio-legal approach with an empirical juridical approach. In the concept of a lawful state, the principle of equality before of Law which means the equality of position within the law becomes absolute. Internationally the equality of position in law is also governed by international treaties. The equality of position in law should be adopted by all UN members and it must also be balanced between perpetrators, victims and communities. Therefore, the rights of the victims must also be considered and given. That is why the goal of justice is based on the principle of balance that is a national goal in addition to social defence, and social welfare. In the positive law in Indonesia, the rules of protection of the victims have been set, but that is still specific to each rule. Thus, it still requires a further process, not, or yet to be decided in a judicial process. Islam has also arranged how to provide guarantees to victims. However, of course, it must fulfil the requirements in accordance with the provisions in the Qur'an, and the Prophet Muhammad's Hadith. Therefore, it is necessary to have legal constructs in judicial process fairly; following the development of science; until it can understand the method of interpretation; see the specifics of things; the judge must be active by evaluating the social and cultural condition of the perpetrator and the victim with a balanced explanation or balanced treatment between the perpetrator and the victim. For that, it is necessary to reconstruct the law to obtain a clear criminal stelsel rule that can be used as a benchmark for criminal and criminal proceedings. Thus, what is expected can be fulfilled by the criminal process and righteous judgment with orientation on the basis of the balance.

Background: Removal of endodontic infection is quite different from most other sites in the human body. Aim: To investigate the antibacterial property of biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate cement against Streptococcus and Enterococcus. Methods: Antibacterial activity of Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate was evaluated by the agar diffusion method against E. faecalis and S. mutans among sixty patients. The experimental materials included 50 mg Biodentine and 50 mg mineral trioxide aggregate. The diameter of microbial inhibition zones around each well was measured to the closest size in mm with a digital caliper. Results: Biodentine produced 3.02±0.27 mm inhibition zone against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis within 24 hours. This difference between the S. mutans and E. faecalis was not statistically significant. Sililarly Mineral trioxide aggregate produced 2.01±0.22 mm inhibition zone against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis within 24 hours. Conclusion: Biodentine showed us encouraging results against Streptococcus and Enterococcus compared to mineral trioxide aggregate by creating higher inhibition zones.

The major purpose of the research paper is to measure the quality of service offered by private banks operating in Pakistan. Additionally, it tries to investigate the relationship between service quality, customer pleasure and devotion. In order for a bank offer to reach the customers, there is a need for services. These services depend on the type of product and it differs in the various organizations [1]. Service can be defined as an intangible offer by one party to another in exchange of money for Service quality in the management and marketing literature is the extent to which customers' perceptions of service meet and their expectations. Thus service quality can intend to be the way in which customers are served in an organization which could be good or poor [2]. A loyalty program may give a customer advanced access to new products, special sales coupons or free merchandise. Our study shows the three basic features of a customer in the banking sector which is service quality, customer pleasure and banking devotion in the banking sector.

The loyalty provided to customers by the banks was also very good and most of the respondents were satisfy from that but there were also some major problems in these banking sectors for customers which should be handled as soon as possible for their good services we also find out that the banking policies for customer services and to maintain loyalty with customer should be enhanced more precisely

Strategic and careful planning such as the preparation and formulation of long-term concepts and ideas and the application of election policies and campaigns is a requirement for political success and sustainable development of any democratic institution. However, what politicians often forget especially is the political strategy for elections. The goal of each strategy is not superficial victory, but fundamental peace. In order to build a positive image in the minds of the community for certain interests. Usually these interests are to seek support from the community. The image needs to be built and also maintained because if someone has a bad image, then usually that person will be difficult to be trusted by others. Based on the background above, the target of this research is to map and to know and describe how to give deeper meaning to the development of communication science, especially Public Relations Science, and obtain knowledge of the Branding Image Model through Political PR Strategy in Indonesian House of Representatives Candidates from Bengkulu Province 2109. Academically it can be a reference in the topic of political PR strategy in imaging to increase public confidence, so that it can increase knowledge for those who read it for understanding Political PR in the legislative candidates of the selected Province of Bengkulu in 2109 and can provide an overview of how the political public relations strategy in Political imaging in the legislative candidates chosen by Bengkulu Province 2109 in increasing public trust so that it attracts support and acceptance from the community and becomes a reference for practitioners in developing a political PR strategy in imaging politicians or prospective leaders of a region and adding insight and reference to practitioners in implementing identification of the process or stage of imaging for politics in the Regional Representative Candidates of the Republic of Indonesia of the Province of Bengkulu 2108 in order to obtain acceptance from the public.

In addition to subject matter skills, today’s college students need reasoning, problem-solving and thinking skills. Therefore, faculty need to understand the importance of those skills for students and themselves. As U.S. faculty engage in working with counterparts in foreign institutions to enhance curricula, teaching, and student learning, knowing more about faculty critical thinking styles should lead to more relevant professional development in international university settings. This project utilized the Critical Thinking Inventory (CTI) to ascertain the critical thinking styles of male and female faculty at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia during five, six-hour intensive workshops on teaching and learning. The CTI is a validated measure of CT style. The 20-item inventory was administered, and results were analyzed for separate groups, male and female, which is common in the Kingdom. Higher CTI scores indicate a “seeking information” style and lower scores indicate an “engagement” style. Female KSU faculty indicated on average a slight tendency toward the seeking style. Individually, 14 of the 22 females indicated a seeking style and 8 indicated an engaging style of critical thinking. On average, male KSU faculty indicated a slight tendency toward the engaging style, with 21 of the 39 males indicating the engaging style and the remaining18 indicating the seeking critical thinking style. As U.S. faculty engage in international programs, faculty Critical Thinking styles can be used to inform activities. Administering the CTI to students would also provide insight into student learning needs. Likewise, a better understanding of CT style for international faculty and students in the U.S. could enhance their teaching and learning.

Vyayam (exercise) has been an important part of the ayurvedic routine for thousands of years. Our Ancient Scholars have given much emphasis on it because vyayam has much benefits on mind and body. Nowadays, people are suffering from many diseases such as obesity, Diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular disease, various joint diseases and diseases due to ageing etc. The cause of these diseases is found to occur due to lack of proper exercise. Exercise in proper way, enhances firmness, endurance in the body and increases ability to do work. It pacifies all three doshas and creates balance in them when conducted as per prakriti (constitution),age of the person and season. Vata types need less exercise, so lighter activities such as walking are best. Pitta types need moderate amounts such as swimming for example and Kapha types need more intense exercise, such as jogging and aerobics, in order to stay in balance. Regarding season, if one wants to increase exercise, winter and spring are the best times. In hot weather, one needs to decrease exertion and stay out of the hot sun. As for age, children have more capacity for exercise and older people need less, although daily exercise is essential at any age Exercise enhances the digestion, and if done properly, it dissolves impurities in the tissues. It enhances immunity, eliminates fatigue, stops early aging, and retards weight gain and can thus improve one’s quality of life.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Opportunistic diseases cause substantial morbidity and mortality to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. HIV-HBV co-infection is common we report the case of an association of cerebral toxoplasmosis with mediastinal lymph node tuberculosis in a patient with HIV-HBV co-infection. The diagnosis of this extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and cerebral toxoplasmosis was presumptive and was made probable by the test therapies that were effective. Concomitant treatment of these two opportunistic infections with antiretroviral therapy resulted in severe drug hepatitis that was probably favored by hepatitis B that HIV infection would have worsened. The choice of effective and less toxic antiretroviral triple therapy was difficult in the absence of recommendations for such combinations.

Bay of Algiers is situated at the heart of the Algerian capital, where the population density and urban important, and many factories and commercial activities, making it vulnerable to pollution, especially along the coast, in addition to climate change that result on the planet, all this lead us to study the impact on the coast of the Bay of Algiers, and its exposure to risks of erosion and marine intrusion. The aim of this work is the perception of vulnerable coastal areas, by determining the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) at the level of the bay of Algiers, through reliance on physical factors. Through the Geographic Information System (GIS), we can process and analyze the information, and propose technical solutions to protect and manage the coastal, especially the sensitive areas near river mouths, a place of exchange and interaction of intense sediment transport.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating condition secondary to lytic infection of oligodendrocytes by JC papovavirus occurring in the context of immunodeficiency. Its aggravation after initiation of antiretroviral therapy is part of the immune restoration syndrome (IRS), often fatal if not adequately managed. We report a clinical observation highlighting the dual role of MRI on the one hand in the diagnosis of PML; allowing the discovery of an HIV infection in our case; and other parts in the follow-up of this pathology which can be complicated by a life-threatening IRS. Cerebral MRI is the main imaging medium for the presumptive diagnosis of PML. In MRI, MRI can be used to assess worsening of lesions by increasing their size as well as by the presence of a contrast enhancement after gadolinium injection indicating inflammation. Thus the use of cerebral MRI in a fragile field such as HIV should be performed periodically even in the absence of suggestive clinical signs, to ensure early diagnosis and adequate management and therefore a better prognosis
