The present contribution shows an in-depth review of the works carried out so far by various research groups. This review also highlights the effect of deposition parameters on the optical properties of CZTS absorber.

Voiding dysfunction due to Bladder outlet obstruction in females is one of poorly understood conditions and is much rarer as compared to males. More difficult is the objective diagnosis of this condition. Here in, we present our case of a chronic voiding dysfunction in a female caused by symphysis bone tumor, which was managed surgically.

Psychoanalytic concepts have become an indispensable part of people’s daily life, which not only can help them better understand human behaviors and thoughts but also enable them to understand literary texts more accurately and clearly. Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, Mirror Stage, gives a new perspective for texts. This paper will illustrate the detailed experiences about Jeannette Walls in The Glass Castle by three Orders of Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, which can give enlightenment to the perplexed young people in the modern world.

This cross-sectional descriptive study using convenience sampling technique was conducted in rural Thane district in Maharashtra State on male adolescents (n=200) to determine their health-related behaviour and health profile. A pre-tested formatted proforma was used to record socio-demographic and health-related data. Their mean age was 17.81  1.20 years (95% CI: 17.65–17.98 years). 153 (76.5%) belonged to lower middle class and the rest to lower class as per B.G. Prasad Classification. 64.5% were students while 35.5% had dropped out of studies. The participants had relatively good personal hygiene. Consumers of alcohol and tobacco comprised 10.0% and 15.5%, respectively. Their current health-related problems comprised dental conditions (15%), skin diseases (12.5%), eye conditions (6.5%), ear problems (2.5%), vitamin A deficiency (2%) and vitamin B deficiency (1.5%). Self-reported history of past illness included tuberculosis, typhoid, upper respiratory tract infection, dengue, malaria and jaundice. The illnesses among family members included tuberculosis, diabetes and hypertension. Periodic health assessment of adolescents can help initiate early interventions. Community-level educational intervention can help in coping with nutritional deficiencies.

Increasing the role of information and communication aspects of interaction between government and society in the era of transformation of social relations, the transition to an information society. Information is increasingly serving as a base value, a “strategic resource,” as well as a system-forming and regulating factor in the socio-political reality. At the same time, domestic power structures continue to incur administrative resources without drastically changing the patterns of communicative interaction, without developing to the necessary degree various forms of direct and feedback with the public.

Introduction: The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been decisively established as the cause of AIDS.AIDS scientist presents these results as strong evidence that HIV is the cause of AIDS. Such arguments are very persuasive to public and most scientists, even though there is debate among different scientists. Objectives: To review HIV the cause of AIDS or not. Methods: systematic literature review in methodology was used. The review was conducted using reliable healthcare internet database namely; Google scholar, hinari and PubMed central. Ten scientific articles were scrutinized to obtain results for the review. Result: The result of this review showed that a total of six articles were reviewed which talks about the belief and evidence are that HIV is causes of AIDS. Conclusion: Even if there is a debate among scientists about whether HIV causes AIDS was related to refusing HIV treatments and poorer health outcomes. And following or accepting the positive one that is HIV causes AIDS do not have side effect without improving of quality of life.

Pancasila has already been recognized and adhered to as the ideology of the Indonesian state since its independence, in 1945, until now, within the 2000s reform period. The state is obligedto uphold the inheritance of Pancasila values from generation to generation. Period of 1945-2000s was divided into three periods of power: the Orde Lama, the Orde Baru and the reformation periods. Each period has its own way in intervening the education system about teachingthe interpretation of the state ideology in accordance with the political line of power. It is a literature researches that triesto figure out the patterns of state intervention in the education system related to the Pancasila ideology.

Dengue virus is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Co-circulation of the four types of dengue viruses and expansion of dengue epidemic give rise to infection enhancement and a big expansion of clinical aspects of the disease. Infection with dengue virus (DENV) causes diseases ranging widely in severity, from self-limited dengue fever to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. But atypical manifestations of dengue fever are rising day by day but they may be under reported. Here in we report a case of 6 years old girl presented with sudden onset of abdominal pain and was diagnosed as classical dengue with ascites and pleural effusion. Pleural effusion and ascites are evidence of plasma leakage which appear in patients of Dengue hemorrhagic fever but not present in Classical Dengue or Dengue fever. Classical Dengue is a common disease in Bangladesh but there have been no reports of Dengue fever or Classical Dengue in association with pleural effusion and ascites.

This study sought to find out the impact of Senior School Science Students having mathematics lessons three times a week as against the usual five times a week in the school time – table in Nigeria. The research design adopted was PreTest-post-test Quasi-experimental. The population of the study was 1,092 Senior School Three (SS3) Science Student from 26 public Senior Schools from Oshimili North and South Local Government Areas of Delta State, Nigeria. The sample of the study was 252 Schools Science Students in Oshimili North and South local government Areas of Delta State, Nigeria. Two research questions and one null hypothesis were posted to guide the study. A validated and reliable (0.85) instrument, Mathematic Assessment Test item (MATI), was used to collect data, which was analyzed with z-test statistic. It was found that students who had mathematics lesson five times a week in the time-table had higher Mean Percentage Score (76.1) than those who had mathematics lesson three times a week in the school time-table with a Mean Percentage Score of 74.7. However, the difference in Mean Percentage Score was not, statistically, significant. It was, therefore, among other things recommended that the school principals can use the time-table of three mathematics periods a week, with adequate assignments for science based students, at the senior school Level.

Dry eye is defined as the disorder of the tear film either due to tear deficiency or excessive evaporation which causes damage to the inter-palpebral ocular surface which comprises of the entire epithelial surface of the cornea, limbus and conjunctiva. Dry eye disease (DED) affects 4.3-16% of adults approximately. There are various etiological factors associated with dry eye disease and diabetes mellitus is one of them. A case control study of 100 diabetic and 100 non diabetic patients was conducted at a tertiary care eye hospital to see the correlation with duration of diabetes. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.48±4.29 years. The mean fasting and post prandial blood sugar level in study group were 155.77±14.94 mg% and 263.77±51.49 mg% respectively. The difference of blood sugar level from control was statistically significant (p<0.001). The TBUT, marginal tear strip staining, fluorescein staining, rose Bengal staining were found statistically significant in study group. 35 cases had moderate dry eye in diabetic group. The comparison of both the group was statistically significant. The severity of dry eye was statistically significant in > 10 years duration of diabetes. A total of 11% patients with >10 years duration were having severe dry eye as compared to only 2% of <10 years of diabetes. The difference between the incidence of dry eye in right and left eye was insignificant.

Ondo State is a state in Nigeria with an abundant energy reserve in petroleum and woodfuel resources, contributing significantly to the nation‟s overall energy output. This study reports a comprehensive survey of Household Energy Consumption pattern in this state. It examined various household energy-consuming appliances and usage time across different Building Types, economic class, and Household Sizes.

Of this figure, cooking accounts for 47%, refrigeration accounts for 28%, Thermal Comfort 12%, Electric Lighting 10% while Sundry (other appliances) and Brown Goods (TV, VCD/DVD set) account for 1% and 2% respectively. A number of households were found to use a combination of two or more cooking energy resource. Kerosene served as the most commonly used means of cooking, representing 84% of the survey population, while Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) represents 40%, electricity - 30%, wood – 19%, and charcoal – 7%.

A simple and rapid reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for determination of tolperisone concentration in human plasma was developed and validated. Using prednisolone as an internal standard (IS), 1.0 ml plasma samples were extracted with a mixture of methyl tert. butyl ether and dichloromethane (70:30, v:v). Analysis was performed using Atlantis dC18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0.05 M (mono basic) potassium phosphate (pH=3.0) and acetonitrile (70:30, v:v). The eluent was monitored spectrophotometrically at 262 nm. No interference with tolperisone or IS peaks by extracted blank plasma components or commonly used drugs was observed. The relationship of tolperisone concentration and peak area ratio of tolperisone / IS was linear (R2 ≥ 0.9961) in the range of 10 – 800 ng/ml, the intra and inter-day coefficient of variations were ≤ 4.1% and ≤5.7%, respectively with a corresponding bias of ±11.4% and ±8.4%, respectively. Mean extraction recovery of tolperisone and the IS were 95% and 83%, respectively. The method was applied to assess the stability of tolperisone under various conditions encountered in the clinical laboratory. Tolperisone stability in processed samples stored at room temperature for 24 hours or at -20 °C for 48 hours, in unprocessed samples stored for 24 hours at room temperature or for 8 weeks at -20 °C, and after 3 freeze and thaw cycles was ≥ 91%.

Comparative exergo-economic analysis of a simple and modified cycle gas turbine power plants was carried out in this work, using a GE MS5001 gas turbine located at Trans Amadi in Rivers state, Nigeria as a case study. The simple cycle plant was modified to have an intercooler, regenerator and a reheater with one additional compressor and one additional turbine. Energy, exergy and exergo-economic analyses were carried out on both plants. The net output of the GE MS5001 gas turbine is 26.90MW, and its fuel is natural gas with heating value of 50MJ/kg. The simple gas turbine cycle has an efficiency of 30.4% while the modified gas turbine cycle has an output power and efficiency of 44.67MW and 48.0% respectively. The exergy efficiency of the simple cycle is 22.6% while that of the modified cycle is 43.0%. The highest exergy destruction rate was in the combustion chamber in both cycles and accounted for 90% of exergy destroyed in the simple gas turbine cycle and 43% and 36% in the combustion chamber and reheater of the modified cycle plant. The economic analysis carried out showed that the total purchase equipment cost was higher in the simple cycle plant because of the high pressure ratios the compressor and the turbine operate in the simple cycle compared to the modified cycle. The cost of producing electricity for the simple gas turbine cycle was 10.18$/GJ while that for the modified gas turbine cycle was between 7.3339$/GJ and 7.7969$/GJ. The cost of electricity from the modified cycle is thus cheaper. All the exergo-economic parameters favour the operation of the modified cycle.

Introduction: Radiopharmaceuticals are special class of pharmaceuticals and utmost care should be taken for their handling, storage, dispensing and use. The characteristic which sets them apart from pharmaceuticals includes their short half-life, inherent hazardous nature of radioisotope, issue of maintaining sterility with radiation safety simultaneously, storage, transport and waste disposal issues and the fact that minute change in dose may cause faulty diagnosis or even over exposure. Therefore the guidelines applicable to pharmaceuticals are not relevant for radiopharmaceutical and calls for separate regulatory setup for radiopharmaceuticals. Objectives: To review regulatory managements of radiopharmaceuticals. Methods: Systematic literature review in methodology was used. The review was conducted using reliable healthcare internet database namely; Google scholar, hinari and PubMed central. Ten scientific articles were scrutinized to obtain results for the review. Result: The results of this review showed that a total of ten articles were reviewed which talks about the regulatory management of radiopharmaceuticals of different guidelines and different regulatory bodies of different countries and causes and consequences of poor regulatory control. Conclusion: For good quality of radiopharmaceuticals there should be quality management system should be implemented, documented, and duly maintained; effectiveness should be continuously improved in accordance with the requirements of professional, regulatory, and accrediting bodies.

In the survey, an ethnobotanical inventory was carried out to study the plant families, species and parts of plants used as remedy for cancer.
