In light of faltering sustainability in growth and development in Nigeria, this study evaluates the Micro Finance Banks Sectoral influence on the development of the Nigerian Economy over the period of 1992 to 2017, utilizing secondary data culled from the Central bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin and the World Bank. The study employed the use of Stationarity, Multiple Regression, Johansen’s Co-integration and Error Correction estimates. While the Co-integration results indicated significant long run relationship among the study variables, the Multiple Regression and Vector Error Correction estimates both point to Apportioned Microcredit to mining/quarrying, real estate/construction and transport/general commerce sectors as the sectoral microcredit that significantly influence Nigeria’s human development index both in the short and long terms respectively. Only Apportioned Microcredit to the mining/quarrying, real estate/construction and transport/general commerce sectors are valuable in predicting variations in economic development as captured by Human Development Index. In light of the above, it was thus recommended that other sectoral activities should be revamped according to their level of insignificance as more efforts should be devoted to the Agricultural sector, manufacturing sector and other sectors of the economy and there should be incentive to sensitize the populace about microfinancing which would bolster deposit based and help disbursement in the right direction, promotion of economic, political and social stability amongst others

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and patterns of impacted and transmigrated canine and associated pathologies in a dental population. Methods: The panoramic radiographs of 5531 patients [1820 (32.9%) male and 3711 (67.1%) female] who attended to several dental clinics between August 2018 and January 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. The number, position, impaction and transmigration of canine were noted. An impacted canine was diagnosed to be transmigrated when at least part of its length had crossed the midline. The presence of other coexisting anomalies was also noted. Results: A total of 388 patients (7.0%) presented with at least one impacted tooth. The most common impacted canines were in the maxilla among 368 (94.8%) patients, while 51 (13.1%) patients showed impacted canines in the mandible. About 32 (8.2%) patients showed both co-existed maxillary and mandibular canine impaction, while 126 (32.5%) impacted canines were bilateral either in the maxilla or in the mandible. Transmigrated canine was observed among 26 (6.7%) of impacted canine patients. Impaction of other teeth was found among 173 (44.6%) patients. Certain anomalies were co-existed along with canine impaction in 98 (25.3%) patients. Pericoronal radiolucency was the most common am-ong 84 (21.6%) patients followed by dentigrous cyst among 23 (5.9%) patients. Other anomalies were supernumerary teeth among 5 (1.3%) patients, and odontoms in only 1 (0.3%) patient. Conclusions: The prevalence of impacted teeth was high, and there was a predilection for impacted teeth in the maxilla. Pericoronal radiolucency was commonly seen in relation to the impacted canines followed by dentigrous cyst.

In today's generation, a gadget becomes an indispensable companion that becomes our means in achieving the goal. This study determined the use and effects of social media to the values of tertiary school students, which can be used as a basis for the development of an educational program. A descriptive approach was used wherein the respondents were 80 students of Cagayan State University. A questionnaire was used as a guide which covers the demographic profile, favorite networking sites, effects, and benefits they obtain from using social media. In general, it is found that the benefits and effects of social media are significantly related to the values of young adults. Facebook/Messenger, Twitter, and Instagram are the top three social media sites used by the students. Majority of the student respondents strongly agreed that their day is not complete if they do not open their social media accounts, but overall social media has an excellent effect on the students. In terms of benefits they get from social media, it garnered a 4.252 over-all mean, which implies that most of the respondents obtain excellent benefits from using social media. As to the values of young adults, there is a significant impact on the students, especially in academic purposes and real-life lessons. It is therefore recommended that students should be introduced to sites that can add values to their academic work and research.

Introduction: According to the characteristics of the service industry of the teaching archivists, an index system for the evaluation of the service quality of teaching archivists is established. By using the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory, the subjective evaluation information of the investigated object is converted into the intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Based on the score function of the intuitionistic fuzzy set, a bidirectional projection-based multiple attribute decision making method with intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is developed. Through the bidirectional projection measure between each alternative decision matrix and the ideal alternative matrix, all the alternatives can be ranked to select the best one. Finally, an illustrative example related about the service quality evaluation of the teaching archivists demonstrates the application of the proposed method.

Conclusion: The activity of total CK among diabetic patient with type1 and type2 diabetes mellitus was higher when compare to control group, there was also significant correlation between glucose and activity of total CK in type1 diabetes mellitus.

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is a broad term, describing behaviour that causes harm to one-self. SIB are more prevalent among individual with intellectual disability. This individual are greater risk for developing both physical and mental health conditions including seizure, anxiety, mood disorder and psychosis etc. Management of people with self-inflicted injury, having Intellectual disability (ID) along with seizure disorder and psychosis is challenging. The purpose of this case report is to review clinical findings in a patient who presented with severe pain abdomen, vomiting, fever, difficulty in micturition and burning micturition. A case report of an 14year old girl of ID (IQ=53%) with seizure disorder and psychosis having self-insertion of bizarre objects through normal bodily orifices is presented. The physical examination findings- febrile, pallor positive and tenderness in left illac fossa. MSE findings- she was uncooperative to examination and exhibited oppositional behavior, disinhibited behaviour.she also display inappropriate smile towards nearby peoples and shows aggression, hostility towards her mother. No hallucinatory behaviour was observed. Radiological findings reveals-radiograph of pelvis AP view shows- linear opacity of metallic density, lying obliquely in lateral aspect of sacrum. USG whole abdomen reveals, foreign body in left illac regions with surrounding inflammation, sigmoid colon oedematous, along with enlarged lymph nodes. Diagnosis of SIB and MR with behavioural abnormalities and seizure disorder was made (ICD-10, F70.1 + G40). OT procedure is carried out to remove foreign body from body.

The durability of concrete constructions in aggressive media has been studied. We prepared samples of ordinary concrete with different natural pozzolana content of beni-saf as a substitute for cement. The main objective of this experimental work is to study the valorization of the natural pozzolana of beni-saf on the mechanical properties (compressive strength) and the durability of concrete (corrosion) in the aggressive environment. Through experimental results obtained, we conclude that beni-saf's natural pozzolana has a positive effect on mechanical properties and the effect is somewhat acceptable for concrete durability especially in the long run.

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.
