Food addiction is a new terminology that shares a similar neurobiological and
behavioral framework with substance addiction. It was speculated that food addiction is
incriminated in the current obesity epidemic. This study aims to assess the relationship
between food addiction and impulsive personality traits among Zagazig University
Students. Cross- sectional descriptive design was utilized in this study. The study was
conducted in two health related faculties and two non-health related faculties at Zagazig
University, Egypt. The sample type was purposive sample consisted of 480 students were
included. Three tools were used for data collection: demographic data sheet, Yale Food
Addiction Scale and Impulsive Behavior Scale. The results of the present study showed
that the prevalence rate of food addiction was 39% and the prevalence rate of impulsive
personality subscales (positive urgency, sensation seeking, premeditation, negative
urgency and perseverance (8.8%, 10%, 0%, 5% & 0%) respectively. It also showed that
food addiction has statistically significant positive correlation with impulsive personality
traits. Food addiction had shown a significant effect on impulsive personality traits among
Zagazig University Students. Educational programs should be encouraged for Zagazig
University Students to decrease the prevalence of food addiction and its health
consequences.

Poetry is one of the greatest treasures of Chinese literature and culture. We aim to explore into the actualization of image-gestalt (referred to as image-G) in conveying the original poetic realm in poetry translation. In this article, the images-G in different poetry translations are analyzed under three circumstances: “emotions are born out of sceneries”; 2) “sceneries are influenced by emotions”; and 3) “emotions are co-existent with sceneries”, so as to realize the reproduction of the Image-G in literary translation. It will bring enlightenment to researchers who study the English translation of Chinese poetry from a new perspective.

Higher education is not a form of cost but is one form of investment. This
form of return can be in the form of a high bargaining value when the relevant person
gets a job offer. Higher education not only has economic value in individuals, but in
society One of the economic values of higher education is the existence of
employment opportunities for the community when higher education is held in a
location where economic value can be in the form of employee recruitment or the
opening of new jobs in the informal sector for the surrounding community. The
challenge for the education sector is to develop educational systems capable of
improving basic education equity, education quality and relevance of education to
development needs, as well as science and technology education. Because everything
that has been proven to have direct and indirect impact on economic growth of the
Indonesia Economic.This study uses a qualitative approach with study methods case.
The data analyzed is the result of interviews with the field of service and direct
observation in the field of services and general fields, and review documents at
Private Universities in Surabaya

Elaborated on an otherization-based attitude, this article fends off the gloomy and shaky curtain of a reciprocal hate to spotlight the pang and travail which, indeed, turn the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized into a pugilistic day by day set-to. In his main right stuff to wedge apart the indigenous’ in-groupness spirit, the strangers from afar shake asunder the Canvas that fuel and abet the villagers’ topmost grit and mettle to stand against a bleak and threadbare existence. This being, the thought process browses through the abstruse questions of crime and guilt in a reference frame of colonization in Kenya and Nigeria. Likewise, the blueprint of poetic justice sounds like a clear-cut voice that meets justice in the name and by dint of a people’s cohesiveness and one-ness.

Abstract: Polyhydramnios is an important obstetric complication with increased maternal morbidity. Undoubtedly, ultrasound is the best means to diagnose polyhydramnios USG has revolutionized the process of assessment of amniotic fluid thus becoming an integral part of fetal surveillance. In a low resource health facility as India with poor coverage of antenatal care and malnutrition it still becomes more important to screen pregnancies for such high risk factors. To determine the incidence and to assess the maternal outcome in patients diagnosed to have polyhydramnios in singleton pregnancies. The present study was conducted in Guahati Medical College for a period of one year from July 2017 to June 2018. All the patients were identified as having polyhydramnios using Largest pocket diameter method. The incidence of polyhydramnios in singleton pregnancy during the study period was 1.04 %. Majority of cases (76.61%) were mild, 14.03% moderate and 9.36 % severe polyhydramnios. Most common etiology was found to be idiopathic 69% followed by congenital anomalies19.8% and Diabetes Mellitus 10.52% Out of 171cases, 9 case was an abortion out of which 8 was induced due to fetal anomaly, 37 cases had preterm vaginal deliveries, 59 cases had full term vaginal deliveries, 66 cases had cesarean section. The most common maternal complication encountered was preterm labour and the most common malpresentations was breech. The study gives us the understanding of the impact of polyhydramnios on maternal outcome.

This case report describes a A23-year-old female patient with a congenitally
missing maxillary lateral incisor whose missing lateral incisor tooth was rehabilitated
using a dental implant which was restored with cemented e-max crown over gold
abutment. As the patient is a young female and the implant was in the aesthetic area,
placing immediate provisional restoration was the chosen method of restoration. The
case reported presented illustrates a therapeutic strategy consisting of implant
placement and immediate provisionalization. The treatment sequences were followed as
recommended in the dental protocol. First, A maxillary surgical stent was prepared for
the correct implant position, a submerged maxillary anterior single-tooth implant
placed according to a standard protocol 3.5mmx10mmTC Prima Implant in the area of
tooth 12. The implant’s shoulder was placed 2 mm apical to the cemento‐enamel
junction of the adjacent teeth. Thereafter immediate temporization was done in two
stages. First stage immediately after the implant placement then 3 months after. Lastly,
a consistent and suitable follow-up program was applied. Conclusion: When sensibly
selected and accomplished, our case report outcome indicates that this technique may
provide promising immediate results relative to the aesthetic, maintenance and stability
of the peri-implanted tissues as well as patients’ satisfaction, expectation and
functionality.

Extensor digitorum communis arises from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
by the common extensor tendon, the adjacent intermuscular septa and the antebrachial
fascia. It divides distally into four tendons, this tendons pass in a common synovial sheath
with the tendon of extensor indicis, through a tunnel under the extensor retinaculum. The
tendons run over the dorsum of the hand, one to each finger. The tendon to the index
finger is accompanied by extensor indicis, which lies ulnar (medial) to it. On the dorsum
of the hand, adjacent tendons are bonded by three variable intertendinous connections
(juncturae tendinum), which are inclined distally and radially. The digital attachments
enter a fibrous expansion on the dorsum of the proximal phalanges to which lumbrical,
interosseous and digital extensor tendons all attached. This study puts in a sincere effort to
study the intertendinous connections (juncturae tendinum) between the four tendons of
Extensor digitorum communis. 80 upper limb specimens of human cadaver were used to
study the type of intertendinous connections or juncturae tendinum (JT) between the four
tendons of Extensor digitorum communis which are seen in 2nd, 3rd and 4thintermetacarpal
spaces. The special findings are photographed; all the findings are tabulated and analyzed
statistically. Statistically the differences between the right and left hand for the above
mentioned tendons and juncturae tendinum were insignificant (p value >0.05). Type 1 JT
is most common in 2nd IMS, Type 2 is common in 3rd IMS and Type 3r and Type 3y are
found in 4th IMS.

This study was designed to investigate the influence of Postate cancer
awareness campaigns on the knowledge, attitude and practices of men in SouthEastern Nigeria. The study employed the survey method of enquiry. The population of
the study is 8,184,951 adult males in South-Eastern Nigeria. Five research questions
guided the study. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science
(SPSS). The result of the data analysed revealed that the awareness and knowledge
level on postate cancer is relatively low among the men in South-Eastern Nigeria.
Also, most information on postate cancer were made known to the respondents by
medical practitioners, however, those respondents that are exposed to the campaigns
agreed that the campaigns have influenced their behavior positively. The study
recommends that, awareness campaigns should be well structured both in English and
the target audience local language to sufficiently and effectively convey the Prostate
cancer campaign messages. Thus, the risks and the effects of the negative attitudes of
men towards this campaigns must obviously be stated citing relevant examples. Also,
campaign planners should involve the target audience/opinion leaders as participants
in the campaign and too, lower the age for screening, so that early detection and
prevention can be detected before it becomes late. There must always be emotional,
physical and psychological appeal in the campaign messages.
Sudden demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes forming a major portion of circulating currency by the Indian Government in November, 2016 is a daring step in the national interest. It created an instant chaos in the country. Besides inflicting a major blow to holders of unaccounted money and counterfeit currency, it also caused suffering for the common man. It was opposed by some on this ground. Many felt that if a short-term suffering was the price for a substantial long-term gain, it would be justified. The present study is based on secondary data from an extensive consultation of sources of information on this topic. It attempts to analyze the pros & cons and the rationale for demonetization. Amidst conflicting ideologies, politics, and self-interests dividing intellectuals, leaders and economists on this move, an unbiased approach to study the available literature on demonetization and to arrive at conclusions has been made. After short-term set-back the long term benefits are showing up. A comprehensive survey of the long-term outcomes is beyond the scope and time-frame of this study, but is a fertile ground for future research. The learning from the study would offer guidance for reforms through demonetization and the needed course-corrections. Other developing, emerging and developed economies would gain useful insights from this study when contemplating such measures

Modeling is a good way to solve the reality question. In order to describe the
matter of the real system, many models were designed to make deep research. In many
models, there is always an idea that characterizes the main line of mathematics. With the
main line, the models were derived to rules or regulations complied with the real
systems. By the rules, the data processing can be handled by all kinds of algorithms and
software or platforms so that they can be processed like a assembly line. By the
modeling, many real systems can be demonstrated with visual and vivid methods so that
everyone can understand or use. Numerical simulation also a popular way to set up or
verify the models complied with mathematical methods.

Abstract: Due to active involvement of fetal system in regulation of amniotic fluid volume it has been identified as an indicator of intrauterine fetal status. USG has revolutionized the process of assessment of amniotic fluid thus becoming an integral part of fetal surveillance. Polyhydramnios is an obstetrical condition associated with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality. In a low resource health facility as India with poor coverage of antenatal care and malnutrition it still becomes more important to screen pregnancies for such high risk factors. The objectives of the present study were: 1. To determine the incidence of polyhydramnios by ultrasonography. 2. To evaluate its relationship with neonatal outcome. A hospital based prospective study for duration of one year. All the patients identified as having polyhydramnios according to Largest pocket diameter method. The incidence of polyhydramnios in singleton pregnancy during the study period was 1.04 %. Majority of cases (76.61%) were mild, 14.03% moderate and 9.36 % severe polyhydramnios. Congenital anomalies were present in 34 (19.88%) fetus. The commonest malformations were central nervous system 17 cases (9.94%), gastrointestinal system anomalies 9 (5.3%) and musculoskeletal 7 cases (4.1%). Anencephaly was the commonest CNS malformations. Significant association existed between severity of polyhydramnios and chances of fetus having congenital anomaly. Other fetal complications include VLBW 4.09%, macrosomia 1.75%, SGA babies 8.77%, LGA babies 9.94%, still birth 7.59%, NICU admission 20.47% , Perinatal death 16.96% and early neonatal death 9.36%. The study gives us the understanding of the impact of polyhydramnios on the fetal outcome. Our study demonstrates that careful fetal examination has to be performed when polyhydramnios is diagnosed, as congenital malformations are often associated with this condition. These anomalies if detected early timely termination of pregnancy can be done hence less physical and psychological trauma to mother.

The current study presents a case of iatrogenic mid-root perforation with a
maxillary central incisor in a 59 -year-old female patient, with a history of trauma in
that region. Perforations that occur in the mid-root region pose a challenge to the
dentist due to inadequate access to the perforation site. Perforations also increase the
chance of inflammatory reaction in the periodontal ligament. A concept for the repair
of root perforations is presented using a resorbable collagen matrix which reconstructs
the outer shape of the root and facilitates the adaptation of MTA. The current clinical
case shows successful root perforation repair with follow up using aforementioned
technique.

Global interests in both pre and post-colonial periods dominate
conservation practices in Africa. The argument that human beings and their activities
are the drivers of environmental degradation served as a bedrock for the formation of
early-protected areas across the continent. Other stakeholders who do not necessarily
bear the costs realize the huge benefits of conservation. Equally important is the fact
that, in both the colonized and non-colonized geographies, replication of similar,
though not identical conservation policies evolved and dominated the biodiversity
conservation patterns and the current scene of policies at least in some East African
countries. This paper seeks to analyze the historical incidents that triggered these
countries, namely (Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya) to adopt Fortress Conservation
approach from the outset and unable to change under growing pressures from local
and global stakeholders interested in resource use and conservation alike. To that end,
the historical survey of literatures devoted to conservation practices and approaches of
these countries, comparative analysis of the actual conservation policies at work, and
the different interests mobilized by different actors were identified and systematically
analyzed.
