In this short communication, an integrated process concept for detoxification of chromium (VI) contaminated water with Polyaniline/MCC composite is proposed. The preparation of composite involved in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of MCC (a bio-based material); the industrially favorable and cost effective oxidant ammonium persulphate (APS) was used. Under the conditions studied, the preliminary results reflected that the proposed concept was quite effective in the detoxification of the model solution. It is worth expecting that the use of PANI-engineered cellulose fibers prepared using low cost oxidant may serve as an interesting alternative for industrial water treatment.

The endodontic preparation of curved and narrow root canals is challenging. Aggressive preparation of the root canal with rotary file systems may result in canal transportation and excess removal of dentine, a major reason for poor prognosis of root canal treated tooth. The purpose of the present study was to compare the canal transportation and centering ability of Rotary ProTaper Next (PTN) and HyFlex EDM file systems using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in curved root canals. Forty extracted human mandibular first molars were mounted on acrylic blocks. Specimens were divided into two groups: Group PTN (ProTaper Next) and Group HF (HyFlex EDM). Mesiobuccal canals were instrumented with ProTaper Next and HyFlex EDM rotary files. Pre-instrumentation and Post-instrumentation scans were performed using CBCT under similar conditions. Canal transportation, centering ratio and volume of the dentine removed were evaluated at 3 cross-section levels; 3-mm, 6-mm and 9- mm from the root apex. The data were statistically analyzed and the level of significance was set at p ≤ 0.05.Canal transportation was seen minimal with HyFlex EDM (0.021±0.009) at 3mm from the apex and maximum with ProTaper Next (0.028±0.021) at 9mm from the apex. Mean centering ratio was lower for HyFlex EDM to ProTaper Next at all levels. Both Pro Taper Next and HyFlex EDM systems shaped the canals with adequate centering ability and minimal canal transportation. Hyflex EDM better maintained canal centricity but the difference was not statistically significant.

The reference values of hematological markers currently used in Sudan have been obtained from researches on populations in developed countries and may not be applicable in Sudan. It has previously been shown that the normal hemoglobin level in Sudanese children is different from international values. The objectives of this study were to establish the reference ranges of white blood cells and differential count in healthy Sudanese adults. The present study included 1076 healthy Sudanese adults from both sexes and five states, with age range of 20 – 60 years. Clinical examination was performed, weight and height were measured, and BMI was calculated. Blood samples were obtained from brachial veins and drawn in EDTA tubes. WBCs and differential count were analyzed using Sysmex KX-21 automated hematology analyzer. SPSS version 25 statistical software was used for data analysis, P value < 0.05 was considered significant and 95% CI was accepted. The mean age of participants was 25.23±9.64 years. The median of WBCs count was 5×103/µL with reference range of (2.9-9.6× 103/µL). Neutrophils count was 2.3(1.7-3.1× 103/µL), while lymphocytes was 2.1(1.8-2.5× 103/µL). The median of WBCs was significantly higher in female [5.1 × 103/µL (range: 4.2- 6.3× 103/µL)] than male [5.0× 103 /µL (range: 4.0- 6.0× 103/µL)] (p <0.05). Our results showed that WBCs count was positively correlated with BMI. The count was found to be significantly higher in Red sea and Darfur states compared with the other states. The reference ranges of WBCs count in Sudanese are lower than the international one and should be used in Sudan

Bone is the host to many diseases. Diagnostic biopsies of bone lesions are generally done in two forms i.e. Percutaneous core needle biopsy or open surgical biopsy. Core needle biopsy is initial method of tissue diagnosis in bone tumours. To study the adequacy and accuracy of core needle biopsy in diagnosing bone lesions. To establish definitive diagnosis of bone pathology. The study was conducted in department of pathology, MNJ Cancer Institute and TB & Chest hospital, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad. A total of 53 cases were analyzed prospectively for a period of two years from October 2015 to September 2017. Female to Male ratio was 1.1:1, Average age 3 to 70 years. Out of 53, 26 cases were primary malignant bone tumors, 12 were metastatic deposits, 10 were benign tumours (9 -Giant cell tumors,1- osteo chondroma) 2 were chronic osteomyelitis,3 were not adequate. In 26 cases of primary malignant tumours 10 - osteosarcoma, 6 - ewings sarcoma, 4 - chondrosarcoma, 2 - plasma cell neoplasm, 1 case was high grade NHL, 1 - chordoma, 1 synovial sarcoma,1 germ cell tumour. Adequacy rate (94.6%) in our study is in concordance with the similar study of Amit Joshi et al., (2013) where adequacy rate was 92%.present study is also in concordance with study of Logon et al with adequacy rate of 97.8%. It has demonstrated that the Core needle biopsy is a safe, easy, and effective technique for the evaluation bone tumours, with a high rate of diagnostic yield and accuracy.

The different kinds of incentives (financial, moral and grant specialization to doctors) are playing a prominent role in influencing the performance of doctors in public sector in Jordan, and guide their behavior to achieve the public health sector goals. The subject of incentives has become the focus of many management scholars and researchers because of the strong correlation between incentives, job satisfaction and job performance. Several theories such as Maslow’s human needs theory , Herzberg two factors theory and other theories became the basis of many studies and researches of incentives and job satisfaction, hence the scholars and researchers were interested in studying job performance academically as a part of organization psychology, also it has become a part of human resources management This paper aims to know the relationship between incentives (financial, moral, and grant specialization to doctors) and the performance of doctors in public sector in Jordan. The study also tries to prove in literature either the job satisfaction act as a mediator variable between incentives and job performance or not

Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection with a worldwide distribution, is caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. This infection can lead to serious health problems when the organism is contracted congenitally or reactivated in immunosuppressed patients. This study included a systematic review and meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the seroprevalence rate of Toxoplasma infection in immunocompromised patients in Turkey. Electronic English and Turkish databases [PubMed, ISI (Web of Knowledge), Google Scholar, Scopus and local databases (Turkish Citation Index and Council of Higher Education (CoHE) thesis center)] between January 2007 and January 2017 were systematically reviewed. Analyses of seroprevalence estimates were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis. A total of 34 publications, comprising 114496 individuals, were included in the meta-analysis. The most commonly used methods for screening toxoplasmosis in publications were CLIA (chemiluminescence immunoassays) in 13 studies and ELFA in 7 studies. In 4 studies, no information was available about the used serologic methods.

Chlamydia trachomatis is a bacterium that can only replicate in human cells and is recognized as an infectious agent of sexual and perinatal transmission. The objective of this research is to Investigate antibodies of the IgM and IgG classes against C. trachomatis in the serum of patients of both genders with clinical suspicion of Chlamydia infection in the population of the city of Queimados, Baixada Fluminense region, Province of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Antibody detection was performed in the serum of 55 patients of both genders. The kits used for diagnostics were: Chlamydia trachomatis IgG ELISA antigen purified reactive MOMP antigen, serotype K for IgG and C. trachomatis kit (IgM) ELISA method for IgM. Total incidence rate was determined in 51%, being more frequent among women. There was no significant association between C. trachomatis infection and the age of the patients. It is recommended to perform routine tests for the laboratory diagnosis of this pathogen in order to avoid the evolution to more worrying health conditions

Yoga is one of the six orthodox systems of Indian philosophy which is viewed as a physical, mental and spiritual discipline that confers a sound body and sound mind. One of the main aims of practice of yoga is to have good cognitive control. Pre-University education is a very important stage in the educational ladder of students. At this stage students are in need of good cognitive abilities. While there are no studies done on this group about the effects of yoga, this study was undertaken to assess the effect of short term practice of yoga among Pre University students. Executive function was tested with Golden version - Stroop Color and Word test in control group, before and after the intervention among yoga group. Results were statistically analyzed using Bonferroni post hoc test. Students in yoga group had performed better than the control group. Short term practice of yoga had a beneficial effect on cognition – selective attention and cognitive flexibility in the Pre-university students.

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of roles played by student councils on curbing the frequency of student unrests in Public Boys Boarding Secondary Schools in Elgon Sub-county, Kenya. The study was based on Social Systems Theory. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. Stratified sampling technique was used to sample respondents from the categories of students and members of student councils. The target population for students was 750 while that of members of student councils was 78. The study used Likert type Students' Questionnaire and Questionnaire for Members of Student Councils as research instruments. Descriptive statistics namely, means, frequencies and percentages were computed. Inferential statistics derived from ANOVA were used to test hypotheses. The study revealed that there exists a negative, strong and statistically significant relationship between decision making roles played by student councils and the frequency of student unrest (r= -0.809**; p<0.01). Based on the findings of this research study, it can be concluded that if student councils participate in decision making roles played by student councils to school management on other students, frequency of student unrests will be curbed in Public Boys Boarding Secondary Schools in Elgon Sub-county. The study recommends that student councils be thoroughly prepared in their roles through seminars, workshops and regular meetings with the principals.

Dengue, one of the world’s major emerging tropical viral disease, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world including India. The study is undertaken to study prevalence of dengue and its corelation with various pathological parameters. 592 clinically suspected cases of dengue fever from November 2015 to July 2018 were included in the study. Blood samples for dengue serology, serum transaminases and platelet count (PC) were drawn in plain and EDTA test tubes. Dengue serology was performed by IgM MacElisa and NSI Antigen ELISA depending upon the duration of onset of fever. Platelet count was carried out on fully automated three part cell counter and serum transaminases study done on semi automated biochemistry analyser. Out of 592, 319 serum samples were tested for dengue NS1 ELISA and 54 samples were positive. 273 samples were tested for dengue IgM ELISA and 31 samples were positive. So prevalence rate of dengue was 14.36%. Majority of positive cases were males, having sex ratio of 1.93:1. Among dengue positive cases, 62.35% cases were found in 15-44 age group years. Varying degree of thrombocytopenia was seen in 87.05% positive cases. Serum transaminases level with normal acceptable range was noticed in 75.93% of dengue NS1 positives cases compare to elevate level in 77.42% of dengue IgM positive cases. The study draws attention toward the male, young adult age group. The overall significant increase in dengue IgM and dengue NS1 seropositivity among suspected cases in last few years indicates an increase in dengue virus activity. This study results indicate that dengue infection is not going to wane away but is going to stay and will play havoc if immediate control measures are not taken. The need of the hour is long-term vector control strategy; so that the outbreaks can be prevented.

Abstract: Neuroinflammation, mediated by the reactivity of the system of cytokines, accompanies the flow of amyloidosis in Alzheimer’s disease, alongside with disturbances in the work of central departments of the olfaction analyzer. Therefore, it is advisable to determine the reactivity of the cytokine system in the brain sections of elderly rats (neocortex, hippocampus, olfaction bulbs, hypothalamus, caudate nuclei) under the conditions of the bulbar effect of β-amyloid peptide aggregates. The content of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in the brain sections of the rats having the age of 18 months (n = 24) that are being studied was determined 5 days after the intrabulbar injection of the suspension of β-amyloid peptide 40 (Amyloid β Protein Fragment 1-40, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in the bidistilate or the solvent itself. It has been shown that the initial level of activity of the cytokine system (intact animals of the control group, n = 8) in the brain sections that are tangent to the olfaction analyzer (neocortex, hippocampus and olfactory bulbs) is probably lower in comparison to other parts (hypothalamus and caudate nucleus) of elderly rats. Intraubulbar injection of β-amyloid peptide 40 aggregates to elderly rats (experimental group, n = 8) increases the activity of the cytokine system in the brain structures distant from the spot of injection (neocortex and hippocampus) responsible for memory mechanisms. It has been determined that the reactivity of the cytokine system in the neocortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus is higher not only in response to the specific toxic effects of the β-amyloid peptide 40 aggregates (experimental group, n = 8), but also due to surgical intervention with the injection of solvent alone (comparison group, n = 8). It has been generalized that the low content of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in phylogenetically younger parts of the brain (neocortex, hippocampus) of intact animals corresponded to increased reactivity of the cytokine system under the influence of exogenous β-amyloid peptide 40.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV), transmitted through the fecal–oral route is a common cause of self-limiting acute viral hepatitis in India with poor sanitation and hygiene and poses a major public health problem in India. This study was undertaken to determine seroprevalence of HEV in patients presenting with acute viral hepatitis. A retrospective study was conducted in Central Laboratory, General Hospital, Palanpur, North Gujarat from October 2016 to July 2018. A total of 164 serum samples of suspected patients of HEV were tested for IgM HEV antibody using ELISA method. Seroprevalence of HEV was 62.20%. Out of 102, 70 (68.63%) males were affected more than females (31.37%). HEV infection was more common in 16-25 years age group (38.24%) followed by 26-35 years age group(24.51%). To reduce the prevalence of HEV infection, health and civic authorities should make an effort to increase the awareness among general public, to facilitate the timely preparation and make necessary arrangement for efficient response to encounter outbreak or epidemic caused by HEV virus, thus reduce morbidity, mortality and economic burden.

The capability of the entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises can be realized because of the motivation in their work environment. To improve the capability of the entrepreneurs in small and medium business, it needs motivation by looking at physiological needs or other needs, such as safety and security needs, social needs, appreciation needs, and self-actualization needs. The existence of motivation for the entrepreneurs of small and medium enterprises is the improvement to increase their business capabilities. This study aims to look for the problems that are faced by the entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises in this case is SMEs/UKM, to motivate themselves to produce quality products and to improve the capability of human resources so that they are able to survive in facing of competition. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective model to find the right solution so that the model which is used is Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy. Data analysis techniques use descriptive statistics and analyze the capability of the entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises through Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy model. The results that are obtained in this study of which small and medium enterprises in Maslow’s needs hierarchy consists of physiological variables are in ‘less good’ category, security needs variables are still not fulfilled, social needs variables are in ‘less good’ category, appreciation needs variables in ‘less good’ category, self-actualization needs variables are in ‘less good’ category, and capability of small and medium enterprises variables are also in ‘less good’ category. In addition to the above variables, researchers add 2 variables, namely innovation and information technology in an effort to develop Maslow’s needs hierarchy to improve the capability of small and medium enterprises
