Public transportation is a service provided by the government in several major cities, whose purpose is related to reducing congestion. In addition to the jammed that underlies the existence of public transportation, the people's desire to have a safe, comfortable, easy and affordable transportation mode. The aims of this research are to analyze the relationship between service quality and passenger satisfaction in BRT Semarang. Survey questionnaire was conducted from 150 passengers, to analyze and test the relationship between variables using a simple regression test with the help of SPSS 22. The results obtained explain that three of the five dimensions of service quality positively contribute to passenger satisfaction in the Semarang BRT. Thus, this means that to increase customer satisfaction, the BRT Semarang must pay more attention and increase efforts into the five dimensions of service quality, especially the weakest of tangibility and assurance

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Abstract: Fasting for at least eight hours prior to a lipid test has been standard practice in India and internationally for many years. However, a growing body of evidence and international expert opinion suggests that a non-fasting lipid profile can be used in most situations. Factors That Contribute to an Individual’s Usual Cholesterol Level: The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has the following recommendations to ensure that individual lipid measurements are clinically useful. Individuals should be on their regular diet and their weight should be stable for at least 2 weeks before their lipids or lipoproteins are measured. Patient preparation and blood collection procedures should be standardized according to these guidelines: Variation in lipid values- Age and gender, Posture, Venous Occlusion, Anticoagulants. Prolonged tourniquet application (2–5 min) can increase cholesterol from 5 to 15%. Biological variation is <5% for cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol and 20 to 30% for triglycerides, Considerable variation can occur from one assay to another between clinical laboratories, For patient care, it is important to know if the LDL is calculated or is measured directly, In order to compare results from different laboratories, it is important to know which assay method is utilized, If patient is non-fasting, a direct LDL test is recommended, Sudden changes in lipid values may indicate a change in diet, medications, or onset of a new disease state. When attempting to answer whether fasting or non fasting lipids are most appropriate, it is important to first think carefully about the clinical scenario and consider what question is to be answered with the results.

Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor is a rare tumor constituting 3-7% of all odontogenic tumors. It is a benign neoplasm which arises from the odontogenic epithelium. We present a case of 22 year female patient with a well defined, unilocular radiolucent lesion containing an impacted tooth seen radiographically. On microscopic examination, sections comprise of cyst wall composed of fibrous connective tissue with areas of haemorrhage. Whorls and lobules of spindle shaped cells were seen on luminal aspect with interspersed duct like structures. Based on the above histopathological features final diagnosis of Adenomatoid Odontogenic Tumor was made. The treatment of choice is conservative surgical removal through simple curettage or enucleation. Recurrence is very rarely seen.

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

Periductal stromal sarcoma is a rare lesion. It was considered to be a variant of phyllode tumor whereas they are morphologically different. Our patient was a 39 years old, with no previous history, who presented a nodular formation at the level of the inferior-internal quadrant of the right breast operated in 2015 with the realization of a nodule excision. The histological examination carried out was in favor of the diagnosis of a periductal stromal sarcoma with tumoral surgical excision limits. 2 years later, she presented a recurrence at the level of the tumor scar. A bilateral digital mammography was performed which showed an appearance in favor of a tumor recurrence of 63 mm of major axis at the level of the inferior-internal quadrant of the right breast. She was given a biopsy excision communicated to our structure. The diagnosis of the recurrence of a periuctal stromal sarcoma has been retained. The number of studies available on periductal stromal sarcoma (SPP/PSS) is currently limited and a therapeutic strategy for the PSS has not yet been determined. The histological diagnosis of PSS is based on the criteria established by the AFIP, and surgery with significant margins is the cornerstone of treatment.

The definition of health expanded to include mental wellbeing, and during the current difficult times in the Middle-East in regards to economics, politics and all the health issues it results in, the need for a better mental healthcare is of grave importance. However, the field of psychiatry is culturally-dependent on factors that might interfere with its goals. The main need is to eliminate stigma towards mental health services facing the progression of mental healthcare services. To minimize public stigma towards mental health treatment and to improve the acceptance of people with mental health problems in order to attain the highest quality of life. This is a cross-sectional study which involved the collection of socio-demographic and a stigma scale towards mental health treatment. The subjects were selected from four health centers in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This study established the mean level of perceived stigma towards mental health treatment in the study population was 6.99±2.89, considerably as moderate levels of stigma towards mental health treatment. Some of the demographic factors identified to effect the stigma towards receiving mental health treatment were occupation and gender. This study showed moderate amount of stigma towards mental health treatment and increasing mental health awareness among the population is necessary. Further studies should be encouraged to tackle other factors affecting stigma towards mental health treatment

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a dangerous bacterium causing nosocomial infections and difficult to treat because of its broad resistance to antibiotics. Siwak sticks, root of Arak tree (Salvadora persica) has been widely used since 7.000 years ago and has many benefits including antibacterial effect. Thus, research on whether siwak (Salvadora persica) stick extract has antibacterial effects need to be done by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). This experimental research was intended to explain such effect. This research used the dilution test of siwak (Salvadora persica) ethanol extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Growth of bacteria on eleven different concentrations of each tube (80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1:25%, 0.625%) was observed by viewing tube clarity after incubation at 36 oC for 24 hours to measure the MIC. MBC was measured by the growth of bacteria on plates as a result of the bacteria cultivation from each tube. Replication was performed four times and the results were analyzed descriptively. In the MIC test, tubes with concentration of 80% to 20% were clear and tubes of 10% to 0.625% were cloudy. In MBC test, tube with concentration of 80% to 60% were not overgrown with bacteria and tube of 50% to 0.625% were overgrown with bacteria. In conclusion, MIC of siwak (Salvadora persica) stick extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is 20% and the MBC value of siwak (Salvadora persica) extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is 60%.

India and Pakistan fought three wars (1948, 1965, and 1971). In May - June1999, once again Kashmir became the focus of World attention when India and Pakistan fought a limited war in Kargil heights located in the valley. Kashmir issue has been discussed many times between India and Pakistan. On 2 July 1972 Shimla accord, signed by Indra Ghandi and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. On21 February 1999 the x-Prime minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif and Atal Behari Vajpayee singed Lahore declaration .In July 2001 General Pervaz Musharaf visited India and attended Agra summit. When General Pervaz Musharaf took over the control of Pakistan, he changed the Kashmir policy, after9/11 Kashmir issue turned into a new and critical direction. India says Pakistan involves in terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and on the other hand Pakistan without of the opinion and says that Kashmiris are fighting for their self determination

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.
