This paper shows experimentally effect of gravel beds to reduce erosion of
soil downstream of submerged hydraulic jumps by using a physical model, gravel
beds are employed downstream of radial gate to dissipate the energy and to control
the erodibility of cohesionless soils. Two different types of gravel were considered,
natural particle with graded grain sizes, and non-uniform big grain sizes, a state of
smooth bed was included to estimate the influence of gravel beds on the scour hole
dimensions. A preliminary comparison of the incipient motion values shows that
granular soils downstream gravel bed have a smaller free surface flow erosion than
the granular soils downstream smooth bed. Additional comparison of the
experimental data incipient motion criteria also suggests that decrease void ratio for
gravel bed leads to minimize erosion the soil. The gravel beds reduce the maximum
scour hole by rate from 47% to 66% in comparing with the smooth bed.

The indiscriminate disposal of animal waste in the environment has led to
the search for solution by recycling these wastes, which includes the use of animal
bone waste in the construction industry, as a partial replacement of cement in
concrete. The aim of this project is to study the properties of the concrete by partial
replacement of cement with animal bone powder. The bone powder is replacing
cement partially by weight in mix proportion (3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15%). The
objectives of this research are to protect the environment from the harmful effects of
animal wastes by using animal bone powder in concrete as a partial replacement for
cement, to study the possibility of using animal bone powder in the concrete mix and
to investigate the effect of animal bone powder on the compressive and the spilt
tensile strength of the concrete mixture. Conduct preliminary tests on the basic
materials, including fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and cement. The mix design was
developed for C30 grade concrete using the ACI method. The mix proportion used is
1: 1.67: 2.34 with water cement ratio of 0.5. Cube samples with dimension of
150mm×150mmx150mm and cylinder samples of 150mm diameter and 300mm
height respectively were used to prepare concrete mix. Concrete samples were cast
during this study replacing the cement with the animal bone powder. A total of 18
cubes and 18 cylinders were cast in this study and the samples were cured in the water
tank for 28 days under normal conditions. Cube samples were tested for compressive
strength and cylinder samples for split test in a UTM. The research has shown that the
use of animal bone powder as a partial replacement of cement in concrete can affect
the properties of the concrete. The results of the experiments showed an increase in
compressive strength and split tensile strength when compared with the results of the
normal mix however; as the bone powder content increased a reduction in the
workability of the concrete was observed and recorded. Furthermore, the results
showed the optimal replacement percentage of BP in concrete is 6 percent with
compressive strength of 36.2 N/mm2 when compared with other replacement ratios.
Therefore, from an environmental and technical perspective, there is an opportunity to
utilize waste animal bones in concrete for construction applications.

Esthetic tooth replacement is a challenging procedure for the dentist, patient,
and technician. Loss of the anterior teeth with existing diastema may result in excess
space. Various treatment options are available for the replacement of multiple anterior
teeth. These options include partial removable dental prosthesis (RDP), an implantsupported prosthesis, and conventional fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). FDP, along with
loop connector, is the best treatment option but not on those with limited interocclusal
space and with deep bite. The cantilever FDP with canine and lateral incisor is the proper
choice for such case. The cantilever FDP design enhances the natural appearance of the
restoration and proper contour, emergence profile, and dental forum. This clinical report
describes a technique that fabricates a bilateral three-unit metal ceramic (MC) cantilever
FDP to achieve optimal esthetics and functional correction for patients with missing
maxillary central incisors along with diastema in between central incisors.

A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Kalwa, Thane, in Maharashtra state, India on 61 first-year MBBS students to compare the scores obtained by students in Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) with that obtained in Traditional Practical Examination (TPE). In the TPE, each student performed red blood cell count, which was followed by viva-voce on the same procedure and marks out of 30 were assigned by the examiners. Students were oriented regarding OSPE and the marking system. At the “procedure station” of the OSPE (maximum marks = 20), the examiners were provided with a pre-validated checklist containing 10 steps for performing red blood cell count within an allotted time of 10 minutes. Two marks were given for correct performance of each step mentioned in the checklist. At the “question station” (maximum marks = 10), students had to write answers to 10 short-answer type questions carrying one mark each. The total marks obtainable during OSPE were out of 30. The mean OSPE score was 23 +/- 2.41 (95% CI: 22.40 – 23.60) while that for TPE was 17 +/- 3.58 (95% CI: 16.10 – 17.90). The difference in the mean OSPE and TPE scores was highly significant (Z=10.859; p<0.00001). The gender difference in TPE scores was statistically significant (p=0.017) but that in mean OSPE scores was not significant. Although the stations where most students committed identical mistakes were noted and feedback regarding their performance was given, extra training may be required for few students with lower scores. Periodically conducted faculty development programmes would assist in creating a pre-validated OSPE question bank.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.8.17
This study aims to provide a new perspective in order to improvement public
awareness on preservation temple through multicultural education. It was based on the
facts that the destruction of the temple and theft cases by increase steadily. For
example, East Java people living around the temple take the temple’s bricks to make
red cement and they sell them to earn some money. Moreover, the chief of Radya
Pustaka Museum in Surakarta was arrested for her action of stealing some statues from
the museum collection. These cases show that people have not fit consciousness to
preserve their cultural heritage as identity that indicates lowering multiculturalism
sense. Majority of the people have different perceptions about the temple. They
considered the temple as the burial site of the ancient Hindu’s kings. Their opinion was
based on folklore, myth, and legend. Most of the temple’s visitors also have different
perception. They regard the temple as a sacred building which functioned as a tomb.
Therefore, they do not dare to do anything inside the temple’s complex area.
Multicultural education was a concept that addresses cultural diversity and equality in
schools. Equality ensures that students are provided the same access to the benefits of
society regardless of their group membership. One of the strategies to sustain public
perception and awareness to care and preserve temple in their residence was improving
people knowing about the other culture and the heritage. In this context students need
introduced temple through a variety of activities such as study tours, observation,
fieldtrip, etc. The temple also been used as learning resources; especially in social
studies where teachers explore the environmental aspects of the temple both physical
and socio-cultural. Social studies learning by medium of temple, and learning resources
expected to improve the quality of teaching and awareness of the differences.

In India, an estimated 30% of the population suffers from some form of
psychiatric disorder. Twenty million Indian families have at least one member suffering
from schizophrenia. More than 12% of Indian children aged 1 – 16 years suffer from
mental disorders and the incidence of mental retardation is also high. Severe mental
disorders that include schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, organic psychosis and major
depression affect nearly 2% of our population. Many epidemiological studies conducted in
India on mental and behavioral disorders report varying prevalence rate, ranging from 9.5
to 370 per 1000 population. The study utilized an experimental research approach. The
study was conducted in a mental hospital, Gwalior, M. P. A purposive sampling technique
was utilized for selecting a sample of 50 family members of the 50 patients with CMD in
mental hospital, Gwalior, M. P. A structured interview schedule with multiple choice
question and STM was prepared. Content validity of the tool was established by 6 experts
in the field of psychiatric nursing. Data collected were analyzed and interpreted by using
descriptive and inferential statistics. Prior to the implementation of STM the family
members had mean percentage 39.89% of total score, which is poor knowledge, whereas
after the implementation of STM the family members had mean percentage 72.97% of
total score which is good knowledge with the effectiveness of 33.08%. The content of the
STM will help the nursing professionals in hospital and community to reinforcing their
knowledge on home care management of the patients with CMD and it's also helpful to

Dentigerous cysts are the most common bony lesions of the jaws in children. It
is one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts associated with an erupted or
developing tooth. This paper describes a case in which a conservative enucleation
surgery of dentigerous cyst is made to save unerupted permanent tooth. Seen the great
capacity to regenerate the bony structures at the children, conservative surgery should be
tempted in dentigerous cysts in report with open apices teeth.
