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
improve the knowledge of family members of the patient with CMD regarding CMD.

Abstract: Drop set training has been suggested as one of the best high intensity training techniques of all time. Though several studies have shown the effect of drop sets on limb muscles; there is a relative dearth of research on the effect of drop sets on spinal musculature. This study was aimed to determine the effect of drop sets on muscle strength and endurance of trunk extensors among trained men. Methodsː A randomized controlled trial was conducted for 6 weeks among 30 trained men recruited through convenient sampling. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups; experimental group that underwent drop sets and control group submitted to high load resistance training. A pre-test and post-test measurement of muscle strength and endurance for both groups was carried out using 1RM Strength Test and Biering-Sorensen test respectively. Data were statistically analysed by Pearson correlation and t-student tests, with a significance level of p<0.05. Resultsː At the end of the trial, significant changes are shown in pre-test and post-test scores of muscle strength (p=0.001) and endurance (p=0.003) of the trunk extensors in the drop sets training group. The findings proved that drop sets can simultaneously improve muscle strength and endurance of trunk extensors with short term training. Conclusionsː In conclusion, drop sets training achieved superior gains in muscle strength and endurance of the trunk extensors compared to high load training. In this context, this programme could potentially be used to improve trunk extensor muscle performance in trained men.

The need to consolidate and complete the development progress driven by the
Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) and ensure that no one is left behind led world
leaders to gather at the UN Headquarters in New York in September 2015 to adopt a new
program on sustainable development. The SDGs provide a more ambitious international
framework for driving progress between 2016 and 2030. A review of the MDGs
implementation in Nigeria reveals that the country registered mixed results across the
goals, geographic areas and gender groups. Even though, there are some progresses on
some indicators, many of the goals and targets were not met. This is in view of the fact
that the Nigerian Government did so many things in order to achieve the set goals. The
debates surrounding the SDGs have mainly concerned with the setting of goals and
indicators while less attention has been paid to discussing the roles and responsibilities of
different stakeholders towards achieving these goals, and how to best implement this
universal framework at the local level. Given the scope and ambition of the SDGs, it is
clear that governments alone cannot achieve the agenda. Therefore, building vibrant and
systematic partnerships with other stakeholders is a vital prerequisite for the successful
implementation of a transformative agenda to accelerate poverty reduction and
sustainable development goals. The objective of this paper is to explore the role of CSOs,
VOPEs, private sector and the media towards achieving the SDGs in Nigeria.

As the quest to counteract the undesirable effects of electric load which create
power factors less than unity increases, a novel mid-point converter system is presented.
This is a phase-controlled ac to dc converter where the conducting and switching
method is on one-to-one basis, unlike the full-bridge converter whose switching goes in
pairs. Using the fourier series, the generalized power factor of this system of converter
was calculated. From this general power factors, the power factor of the mid-point
converter with any number of phases and pulse numbers can be calculated.

Declarations to Multilateral Conventions in the Penal Field – Role and Significance to Authorities in Bosnia And Herzegovina and Some Other East European Countries

This paper deals with a specific and rarely studied issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the field of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters. This is the common problem of successfully working with declarations to multilateral legal instruments. In view of this, the aim of my presentation is to find better solutions to this problem by identifying and correcting basic mistakes and unjustifiable omissions in making use of such declarations. For this purpose special attention is given, initially, to the hierarchy of legal instruments: domestic law and international agreements. It is well-known that in Civil Law (Continental-European, Latin) countries, international agreements are applicable directly, without any enabling legislation, and override domestic law which contradicts them. The priority of such agreements is indisputable in such countries. Belonging to this group of countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina makes no exception. As a result, where Bosnia and Herzegovina is a Party to some international agreement, it cannot unilaterally change anything in this agreement: either by means of its domestic law or in any other way. However, when the international agreement is a multilateral convention, Bosnia and Herzegovina is in the position to unilaterally modify it. The sole and irreplaceable means to reach this goal is a reservation or in some sense a declaration to the multilateral convention. Nevertheless, there are cases where the legislation of this country has not taken into consideration the inability of its own domestic law to change multilateral conventions. This makes it necessary to discuss those cases and explain the need of resorting to declarations, in particular, for the purpose of producing the desired result.

Trauma remains one of the principal causes of mortality in the world,
especially among young adults. The most serious immediate life-threatening
complication following maxillofacial trauma is airway obstruction. The onset can be
sudden, as with foreign body aspiration, or following soft-tissue damage that can lead at
a later stage to airway-compromising edema. The medical literature regarding facial
trauma appears to support the hypothesis that maxillofacial trauma alone is rarely life
threatening or will not lead to life-threatening conditions unless associated with airway
compromise. There are some causes of life threatening complications following trauma
to the maxillofacial region such as massive bleeding or undiagnosed cervical spine
injury. However, there are some situations that may cause irreversible damage unless
immediate operation is undertaken. The almost complete lack of reports dealing with
death or irreversible damage in trauma involving the maxillofacial region prompted us to
review the mortality following trauma to the maxillofacial region.

The translator, as the subject during the process of translation, is the most
important and active factor in translation, whose subjectivity plays a key role in the
translation practice. Not until the 1960s, did some researchers start to study the role of
the translator in the process of the translation. Based on the previous studies on the
subjectivity of the translator at home and abroad, this study mainly focuses on the
subjectivity of the translator from cultural perspective. And it makes an analysis of the
factors that influence translator’s subjectivity from three aspects: translation standards,
purpose of translator and personal experiences of the translator. The conclusion is of
great importance and practical value to cultural communication and the teaching of
foreign language.
