Abstract: The socio-economic status of the family affects the offspring’s participation in physical activities and sports in school or outside the school. The current study aimed to assess the effect of socio-economic status determined by family income, parental education and parental occupation on the sports participations and the perception about participation barriers among sports and non-sports participants in higher education in the UAE. The study demonstrated a higher prevalence of female students among non-participants and a trend of lower participation among students from low income, parents’ education and occupation. The socioeconomic status components showed influences on the students’ perception on barriers of sports participation. Low parents’ education was related to more significant perception of peer pressure barrier among participants. Similarly, low income and parents’ education were related to considering sociocultural barrier as an important barrier among non-participants. Unexpectedly, high income and parents’ education were related consider low priority and lack of interest as significant barriers among participants. The study re-emphasizes the effect of the socioeconomic status on sports participation and the university students’ perception for participation.

This paper aims at analyzing and evaluating English syllabuses of technology-centric universities of Bangadesh. The findings are analyzed from the perspective of document analysis. To collect data six departmental syllabuses have been selected from six technology-centric universities in Bangladesh. From the data it was found that the syllabuses were not sophisticated enough in terms of enhancing four language skills of the learners as the syllabuses do not cover four language skills equally. Reading and writing skills are the major focuses of the syllabuses. Little attention is paid to speaking and listening skills. On the basis of inadequacies of the syllabuses, several recommendations are made in order to develop the four English language skills of the learners, rather than focusing on merely reading and writing skills. All of the universities must provide language lab facilities so that the teachers can give importance to listening and speaking skills. Well-written aims and objectives must be included in the syllabuses. Teaching aids or materials, teaching methods and techniques, assessment techniques and reference books should be mentioned in the syllabuses for the guideline of the teachers.

Abstract: Pain in the neck can be more than just a hassle. The objectives of this study were to determine and compare the role of Maitland mobilization and stretching exercises along hot pack therapy in both groups. Total 30 subjects were selected and divided into group A & B sample was collected through simple random sampling with chronic cervical pain and fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The treatment was gives as: Group A: Maitland mobilization of cervical spine along with hot pack. Group B: Cervical stretching exercises along with hot pack. This study was a comparative experimental study and it used assessment form, consent form, examination couch, Goniometer, Visual Analogue Scale, Neck Disability Index Scale and Hot pack. Patients were evaluated for their pain profile using VAS, their ROM using the Goniometer and neck disability using NDIS.

This article considers the rise in popularity of interdisciplinary courses that explore the rich and illuminating relationships between Literature and Law, both as subjects of academic study, and for their relevance to the wider world. The history of the two disciplines in England and America is briefly traced, to gain some insight into their complex interconnectedness; from the era of classical Greece, until the twenty-first century. Consideration of the distinction developed in the Oresteia of Aeschylus, between revenge, on the one hand, and lawful justice, on the other, is followed by discussions of the interrelationship between law and literature in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle respectively. In the era of Republican Rome, the seminal figure of Cicero, as legislator and rhetorician, is highlighted for his influence on European concepts of law and the legal profession, and the impact of his style on Renaissance humanism. William Shakespeare’s interest in legal themes and the nature of justice, is then briefly addressed. The American Founding Fathers’ passion for both literature and legal matters, is regarded as having had a profound effect on the framing of the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, both in style and in content. Finally, there is a brief overview of recent interdisciplinary initiatives in Departments of Law and English Literature, in Britain and the United States. The ongoing and complex connections between Literature and Law continue to offer a fruitful field, for a study whose implications have only just begun to be explored.

Implementation of PCPNDT Act strictly in past few years has created terror in mind of doctors who are operating imaging technology and infertility clinics. The terror is mainly due to criminal liability under the Act and adverse media publicity. Many doctors had to face criminal charges for trivial things like non-putting of Apron or nameplate, size of display board, clerical errors in filling of form etc. The punishment is serious in the form of imprisonment and penalty further leading to cancellation of medical practitioner licence. Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (IRIA) has taken up the issue seriously and taking the issue to various courts to avoid unnecessary harassment of doctors. Various judgements have come and depicts the stern view of the Courts. The most effective precautionary measures are to maintain records scrupulously, fill the Form-F as provided in the Act, accurately and correctly, submit and maintain the records to the appropriate authority within the stipulated time. Although there is no gap between the intent of the legislature and stand of doctors. Both are in favour of stopping female foeticide and avoiding sex discrimination. Doctors need that PCPNDT Act should serve the intent of stopping sex determination but not as a harassment tool with authorities which is taking away doctor’s self-respect and giving nightmares

Post-operative hearing loss is a very poorly understood complication in the medical field in general and in the Anesthesiology practice more specifically. This has been observed past three decades and yet, it still is a mystery and unresolved medical condition. Senso-neural hearing loss (SNHL) results in temporary deafness as a side-effect of a puncture during spinal (subarachnoid) anesthesia. Although it is also observed after general anesthesia, but the numbers are much less. In the present study, we report a case of 48 year old man who underwent a surgery for anal fistula incision with spinal anesthesia and complained about the hearing inability in both the ears (bilateral SNHL) started few hours after the surgery. His symptoms improved over a few days’ time with a conservative approach (rest, hydration and increased caffeine intake). There have been other reports on permanent type of hearing loss. Even though in a majority of cases, the patients recover, considering the threats from the minority, we believe that it is the responsibility of the medical staff to be aware of the patients’ condition before undertaking such surgeries and anesthesia

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

In order to make full use of data of stroke and find the potential characters, we use computer algorithm to model the stroke so as to comply with the evolution of stroke disease. In order to visual express the complex reason of stroke, we use complex network to model the stroke so as to express the complex reason and describe the relation of stroke structure and function. Computer model and complex network model should be combined with stroke standard method and custom index, which are more direct for clinical index and practice. Hybrid methods for research of stroke are a test to model, prevention, control and serve for stroke and other clinical disease

Heart failure is the end stage of all diseases of the heart and is a major morbidity and mortality.

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.
