Currently, the Internet is considered as the largest medium and the most important tool for transferring and exchanging information. Besides the benefits and facilities of this "worldwide web", the possibility of crime occurrence has been doubled. Offenses which are now threatening citizens' safety, behavior and welfare, did not exist in the past at all. The present study investigates properties and factors which double the risk and damage of internet crimes. Findings revealed that on one hand internet crimes have unique characteristics such as global aspect, ease of perpetration, extent of damage, multiplicity of victims and crime detection-related issues and the like and on the other hand, internet criminals and victims differ from other criminals and victims in terms of age, gender, motivation and others.

Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important cause of hospital acquired infection especially in patients admitted in
critical care units such as intensive care units and burn care units. In recent times, it has emerged as a widespread Multi
Drug Resistant (MDR) pathogen which requires antibiotic susceptibility testing on a regular as well as a periodic basis.
This study was carried with an aim to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern and prevalence of MDR P.
aeruginosa infection among burns patients at a tertiary care centre. Material and Methods: This retrospective study of pus
samples of hospitalized patients in burn wards between January 2018 to June 2018 was carried out. The intensity of use
of antibacterial agents and resistance of P. aeruginosa to common anti-Gram-negative antibiotics were measured. The
antibiotic sensitivity testing of all P. aeruginosa isolates was done using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and the
results were interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (CLSI) 2017. Results:
Out of these 130 clinical specimens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated in 38(29.2%) samples. P.aeruginosa showed
maximum sensitivity to Imipenem (90%), Piperacillin-tazobactum (78%) and Gatifloxacin (52.6%) followed by
Tobramycin (28.9%), Ciprofloxacin (23.6%) and Gentamycin (13.1%). Conclusion: Pseudomonas was the commonest
cause of infection in fire burn patients in our setting. About 29.2% of the isolates showed multiple resistances. In light of
our findings, regular antibiotic resistance test has to be done for each patient in order to select an appropriate
antimicrobial agent.

It is obvious that the life of man and that of the society revolve around land and its resources. This importance of land to man and the society influenced the state intrusion into property legislation in order to ensure adequate and efficient land management technique for the benefits of the greatest number of the members of the society. Furthermore, the nexus between land and economic prosperity of an individual and a nation informed the constitutional provisions respecting the inviolability of private property rights in various jurisdictions around the world. This work focuses on the credit aspects of land reform and land settlement schemes in Nigeria. The findings, manifestly, show that Land Use Act 1978 (Act) brought enormous reforms to the administration and management of land in Nigeria, including the aspects of land settlement schemes. Which has, remarkably, improved the economic value of land, and prescribed a much more better and equitable ways of alienating interest in land as expressed in the combined effect of Sections 21, 22, 23, 24, 26 and 34(7) of the Act. It also notes that Land settlement schemes are projects with positive impact on land, and not fettered by the provision of the Land Use Act 1978, as previously thought. Even the ones created by Deed or Wills before the Land Use Act as adumbrated in Section 26 of the Act, Therefore, we recommend that Governments at all levels should create land settlement schemes, so as to improve land, the fortunes and living conditions of the citizens, and, by extension, food security through the Farm settlements.

Hepatitis B infection is caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV), an enveloped DNA virus belonging to family Hepadnaviridae
that infects the liver and causes hepatocellular necrosis and inflammation which are serious public health problem
worldwide. The Present study was conducted in the department of microbiology on 456 female patients. The serums were
obtained by centrifugation & test was done. The Hepatitis B surface Ag was detected by using HEPACARDS kit. In our
current study on 456 female patients were screened for HBsAg and we found that 5.3% female patients were reactive
with HBsAg in serum and 94.7% were Non reactive with HBsAg out of 456 female patients. Higher prevalence of
HBsAg was reported in most sexually active age group.i.e.21-40 years (57.5%) and least in age group 81-100 (0.4%). In
the light of current study, it can be concluded that the Hepatitis B contributes significantly to chronic liver diseases in
India and being transmitted through parenteral, sexual or perinatal mode. The study revealed high prevalence rate of
HBV among female patients (5.3%).

The present article deals with the syntactic position of the topic markers in Mandarin Chinese. One of the characteristics of the topic structures in Mandarin Chinese is that there is a topic marker attached to the topic. The topic markers don’t carry meaning in the structure but only serve as the functional markers in syntax. Therefore it may be argued that these topic markers are not heads of the topic structures but rather modality particles attached to the head of the topic.

Dr. Kirankumar N. Patel
Page no 182-185 |
10.21276/sjpm.2019.4.3.9
Background & Objective: UTI (urinary tract infection) is the most common among all hospital acquired infections world
wide. In UTI, most common organism is E.coli. Organism responsible for the hospital acquired infection may have
tendency to develop multiple drug resistance. E.coli acquired from the hospital source and community source may differ
in their resistant against antibiotics. Aim: Our aim to study and compare the antibiotic resistant pattern with special
reference to ESBL (extended spectrum β lactamase) in the community acquired and hospital acquired common gram
negative bacilli causing UTI in patients of district hospital Gandhinagar during period of June 2008 to may 2009.
Methods and materials: E.coli from symptomatic UTI cases from both community acquired and hospital acquired UTI at
district hospital Gandhinagar during period of June 2008 to May 2009 were tested for the antimicrobial susceptibility
testing against 18 drug of various groups performed by Kirby Bauer's disc diffusion method. Isolates resistant to third
generation cephalosporin were tested for ESBL production by double disk synergy test method. Results: Overall E.coli
was (73.75%) among the all gram negative bacilli of UTI patients. The majority (70%) of the isolates were from female.
ESBL prevalence was 12.6% and 25% among community acquired and hospital acquired E.coli respectively.
Cephalosporin group of sensitivity was widely varied among both the group compare to other groups of antibiotics and
more resistance was found in hospital strain. Discussion and Conclusion: Almost double prevalence of ESBL among
hospital strain compared to community strain leads to change in line of management when a hospitalized patient has
tendency to develop UTI, plain cephalosporin should not be administered in other diseases also.

Background: Anaemia is reduced oxygen carrying capacity of blood, due to reduced RBC mass and/or haemoglobin concentration [1]. Causes of anaemia include nutritional deficiencies, inherited genetic defects, medication-related side effects and chronic diseases. We had studied patients attending our tertiary care centre to determine aetiology of anaemia and its different clinical aspects during period of July 2012 to March 2014. Methods: A total 100 patients having anaemia were enrolled in the study and detailed clinical examination and relevant laboratory investigations were performed. Results: Out of 100 patients 55 were females and 45 were males. In present study 45 females fall in age between 12-40 years and 29 males were in the similar age group. Most common presenting symptoms were generalised weakness and easy fatigability. Pallor was noted in 94 patients. Severe anaemia (Hb <7 g/dl) were seen in 89% of the cases. 34% of the patients had subnormal serum iron levels and 45 patients were having low serum vit. B12 level (<187 pg/dl). Among other causes, 7 patients had anaemia of chronic disease, 4 had malabsorption and 2 had drug toxicity. Conclusion: Vitamin B12 deficiency in association with iron deficiency was found to be the commonest cause for anaemia in the study group. Haemolytic anaemia was more common in males in thid study

In Yabello most of the range land was changed in to agricultural area and the remaining part were exposed to overgrazing
and become seriously degraded. The aim of this study was in order to assess the impact of overgrazing on the soil
characteristics of Yabello rangeland. The soil physico –chemical characteristics were evaluated by using three (3) grazing
intensity level (ungrazed, moderate grazing and over grazing (each with 2 ha) were selected, which were located about
100 to 150m apart within a 10 ha area. This study indicates that Overgrazing homogenized soil characteristics. The
ranges of spatial autocorrelation for soil organic C (SOC) and total N were at the HG site, which was considerably larger
than that at the MG and OG sites. Soil nutrients such as organic C, N and K were show a small higher variation in the
ungrazed areas than as compared to both moderately grazing and overgrazing, even though, a variation were generally
low and differed non-significantly in all the study sites. Results on soil texture revealed that the sand, silt and clay
contents were not much difference in the three land-use systems. In general, since the complex nature of soil nutrient
patterns, which are largely dependent on land-uses and topography and also the current study were done based on small
sample areas we call up researchers for a more broad-based additional research investigation to provide stronger and
basic information in the Yabello rangelands in this regard.

Leaf ethanolic extracts of six Senna species namely S. occidentalis, S. hirsuta, S. siamea, S. obtusifolia, S. polyphylla and
S. alata were obtained using the cold extraction method. The extracts were tested for antimicrobial activity against five
organisms, namely Escherichia coli, Klebssiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and
Salmonella typhi. The agar well diffusion method was used to carry out this test. The study on antimicrobial activities
shows that ethanolic extracts of the six Senna species possess antibacterial activity against human pathogens used in this
study. The antibacterial activities of the extracts were more pronounced at higher concentration than at lower
concentration in the species of Senna investigated. However, Senna alata showed more antimicrobial acivity. The
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the plant extracts ranged from 21.5 mg/ml to 62.5 mg/ ml with Senna alata
having the lowest value (31.25 mg/ ml) for the pathogen tested except Klebssiella pneumonia (65.5 mg/ml) while the
other Senna species have similar minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract
of Senna alata was favourably compared with the standard drug, ciprofloxacin. The antibacterial activities of the plant
extract could possibly be due to alkaloids and flavonoids. Bioactive substance from these six Senna species can therefore
be employed in the formation of antimicrobial agent for the treatment of various bacterial infections or diseases.

10.36348/sijll.2019.v02i02.002
This paper attempts to discuss the need for fostering 21st century skills in schools, especially in English Language classrooms. Our school systems need to respond to the changing world. The new generation is to be prepared for the new careers, by connecting their learning with real life. Schools should build the young generation for the future. This is possible only when the curricula incorporate the 21st century skills to frame the syllabi to meet the changing needs. The teaching- learning process should be made challenging, inspiring, interesting and effective. Language classroom can contribute much to this effect by connecting physical and virtual environment that can connect the learners with a “variety of learning resources, and with people of different cultural backgrounds.” This may enhance learning experiences and individual development. The present century is technology rich and immensely complex. Learners in the present century need abundant opportunities to participate in connected learning environments that can ensure perfect learner engagement. Classroom environment should provide the learners with the opportunities to acquire the skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, innovation, celebration, team work, leadership, cross-cultural understanding, etc. This can equip the learners with the ability to face the challenges of the modern society. Learning is a lifelong process .So the learners must get chances to update themselves with the latest trends and information. English is the ideal context for introducing and building 21st century skills

Flours were prepared from seven cassava varieties (Agbablé3, Bonoua2, Bondoukou4, Boufouh3, Boufouh4, Soclopouopo3, Totoba2) evaluated for their physicochemical properties. The physicochemical parameters of the seven varieties show significant differences (p <0.05). The results showed that moisture content of flours ranged from 10.88±0.02 (Bonoua2) to 12.92±0.31% (Agbaglé3), starch from 28.71±0.34 (Socloppouopo3) to 44.06±0.56% (Totoba2) carbohydrates from 92.70 ±0.05% (Totoba2) to 94.72±0.27 (Bonoua2), organic matter from 85.3±0.27 (Totoba2) to 87.4±0.18% (Bondoukou4), and energy value from 347.56±0.03 (Agbable3) to 361.95±0.01 to kcal/100g (Bonoua2). Physicochemical parameters at low content are the protein ranging from 1.37±0.14 (Soclopouopo3 and Boufouh4) to 2.23±0.13% (Boufouh3), lipids from 0.77±0.03 (Bonoua2) to 1.29±0.11(Boufouh4), ash from 1.29±0.1(Agbablé3) to 2.62±0.01 (Soclopouopo3), fibers from 1.03±0.24 (Soclopouopo3) to 1.08±0.06% (Boufouh3 and 4) and total sugar from 1.30±0.04(Soclopouopo3)-3.35±0.05(Bonoua2). The most dominant minerals are potassium, calcium and phosphorus whose content are respectively 328±0.1 (Totoba2) to 1207 mg/100g (Bondoukou4), 82±0.01 (Boufouh4) to 338±0.26 mg/100g (Bonoua2) and from 20±0.05 (Totoba2) to 100±0.41 mg/100g (Bonoua2). From the data obtained it can be concluded that cassava varieties should not be abandoned because of poor cooking quality and high cyanogenic potential. These varieties could be used for other purposes such as starch production, glucose, adhesives, fuel alcohol, animal feed and other industrial Uses.

Vermiculture and Vermicomposting: A Boon for Sustainable Agriculture in Fiji Islands
Sachchida Nand Rai
Page no 93-102 |
10.21276/haya.2019.4.2.6
Vermiculture employ earthworms for decomposition of organic waste for production of organic manure. The importance
of earthworms is known since time immemorial and it is considered natural plough by the farmers. Earthworms are one
of the most important fauna of agro-ecosystems which dominate the biomass of invertebrates in many soils of temperate
and tropical regions of the world. The benefits are now globally realized that earthworms can contribute much to the
management of different pedo-ecosystems. They are useful in land reclamation, soil improvement and organic waste
management in addition to their use as a protein-rich source of animal feed. Earthworms eat and mix large amount of soil
or in burrows, depending upon the species concerned. Their casts contain high concentration of organic material, silt,
clay and cations such as iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Earthworms also release nitrogen in to soil in their
casts and urine. Earthworms change the physical characteristics of soil by aerating during rain or irrigation. Earthworms
thus enhance incorporation and decomposition of organic matter, increase soil aggregate, improve porosity and water
infiltration and increase microbial activity. Vermiculture may be a boon for Fiji which is a small Island nation located in
the South Pacific, 3000 km east of Australia and 1930 km south of the equator. It is endowed with excellent climate
which is very much suitable for vermicomposting. The land and climate of Fiji are very good for growing horticultural
crops such as vegetables and fruits. Fiji farmers use imported chemical fertilizers which is costly resulting farming as an
expensive venture. The export market for organically produced crops is increasing worldwide providing excellent
opportunity to the farmers to use organic manure produced locally. To meet the farmers‟ demands of organic manure
there is a vast scope of vermiculture. The availability of plenty amount of plant biomass, number of suitable earthworm
species and excellent tropical climate are in favour of simple vermiculture technology.
