Repetitive behavior is a common symptom in children and is characterised by sameness, rigidity and repetitiveness. These stereotypic and repetitive behaviors are seen in various psychiatric as well as neurological disorders. Till today, the focus of almost all studies was on repetitive behavior in ASD & OCD. The purpose of this study is to bring all the children presenting with repetitive behavior under the same roof, to investigate the patterns of repetitive behaviour in children associated with different childhood disorders and to study the distribution and severity of repetitive behaviors among childhood psychiatric disorders. A Cross-sectional observational study, for the duration of 1 year, was performed on 72 Children (0-12yr) with repetitive behaviour attending the child guidance clinic, who had given consent. Children were screened by using CBCL and diagnosed as per ICD-10 DCR. Severity of repetitive behaviors was assessed using the RBS-R scale & score of different subscale of each disorder were compared. Statistical analysis was done on SPSS version 23. Total 8 types of disorders were included in this study. Stereotyped behavior, Self-injurious behavior more in PDD than OCD, MR &TIC. Compulsive behavior more in OCD than PDD, TIC & MR. Ritualistic behavior, sameness behavior, restricted behavior and total score are more in OCD than tic disorder. Stereotyped behavior more in Tic disorder than OCD. Stereotyped behavior and self-injurious behavior more in MR than OCD. This research contributes to the literature looking at domains or specific groups of repetitive behavior within children with PDD, OCD, TIC and other disorders. As per our knowledge this is the first study in India on repetitive behavior in different childhood disorders.

Determining sex plays important role in the identification of the unknown
person. The positive identification of human remains requires the matching of physical
characteristics of the deceased with records of the physical characteristics made before
death. Several methods may be used to produce identification with an aggregate high
level of reliability. Sex determination is usually done by osteometry, DNA analysis and
even by odontometric parameters. Aim of the study was to identify gender using
measurements of mesiodistal crown width of the six maxillary anterior teeth (later added
to derive combined mesiodistal widths), fronto-occipital head circumference, height, and
diameter of the skull on a lateral cephalography. In this study, 100 persons were
evaluated. After obtaining informed consent from the subject selected, measurements of
mesiodistal crown width of the six maxillary anterior teeth (later added to derive
combined mesiodistal widths), fronto-occipital head circumference, height, and diameter
of the skull on a lateral cephalography were performed. Combined data, male, and female
data were analyzed separately for binary logistical analysis for sex determination to the
parameters recorded and discriminant function equation were derived for each parameter.
In the present study mean values of all the parameters were calculated and showed a
statistically significant variation between males and females. Discriminant function
analysis was performed for all the variables which correctly classified 91% of the cases.
Our Study suggests that the discriminant functional analysis has proved that the sex of
unknown sex skull can be determined using above mentioned parameters. Studies at a
large scale are in need to approve or disprove the above factor.

Telehealth is increasingly used to manage many long-term conditions including ones which affect physical and mental health. The range of methods of delivering telehealth is increasing as technology, and the internet, develop and become increasingly ubiquitous. The various means of delivering telehealth includes the use of computers, smart phones, mobile phones and landlines. As the means of communicating remotely increase, so do the range of ways in which telehealth can be used to both monitor long-term conditions and aid in the delivery of self-care. This paper reviews various applications of telehealth as they are applied to the management of type II diabetes. It examines the role of the different forms of technology in monitoring the disease remotely, in prompting episodes of self-care and in the delivery of proactive education. The review identifies sixteen randomised controlled trials which all use telehealth, in at least one of its forms, to deliver monitoring, disease management prompts and proactive education (or any combination of the three) remotely. The quality of the evidence uncovered is variable, with the long-term utility of many of the approaches remaining largely unproven because of the time limited nature of the research available. The least equivocal findings are from the studies which take a three pronged approach to the delivery of telehealth – monitoring, prompting and educating – which all showed measurable benefit in terms of the management of blood glucose levels. This improvement also held true for the studies which employed both monitoring and real time disease management prompts alone. The evidence suggests therefore, that attempts to use telehealth to improve the management of type II need to include, at the very least, an element of remote monitoring and real-time disease management prompts. Whether the benefits which accrue from these approaches have any long-term value needs to be further researched.

This study was designed to compare the properties, kinetics and stability of the immobilized lettuce protease with the free one. We also aimed to test the use of the immobilized lettuce protease for the production of novel bile binding and tyrosinase-inhibitory peptides from plant food processing wastes (cauliflower midrib and broad bean leaves). Immobilized lettuce protease was prepared previously from Lactuca sativa (lettuce) seeds. Free lettuce protease was immobilized on alginate-glutraldehyde beads by covalent bond at optimum conditions with high immobilization efficiency. In the present study, immobilized protease showed optimal activity 221.5 U/mg enzyme protein at pH 10 and 70°C, while the free one showed 22 U/mg enzyme protein at pH 7 and 60°C. Km values of the immobilized and free protease toward azocasein were 1.143 and 1.442 mg, and Vmax values were 142.9 and 24.6 U/mg enzyme protein, respectively. Immobilization of lettuce protease resulted in an increase of activation energy (Ea) for azocasein hydrolysis from 9.6 to 23 Kj/mol. Immobilization improved its turnover number Kcat (15.96 Kj/mol) and catalytic efficiency Kcat /Km (13.96 Kj/mol) compared to that of the free one (3.09 and 2.143 Kj/mol, respectively). Deactivation energy (Ed) values were 38.76 and 55.41 for the free and immobilized protease, respectively, confirming the enzyme stability by immobilization. Free protease could be stored for 70 days at 4°C with loss of only 20% of its initial activity, while the immobilized one could be stored for 23 and 46 days with retention of 114 and 74.5% of its initial activity at 9°C, respectively. CaCl2 increased the rigidity, stability and activity of the immobilized enzyme by 125%. Cauliflower peptides were enzymatically prepared from cauliflower protein. It had higher bile binding and tyrosinase inhibitor potency than the parent protein. Immobilized lettuce protease and cauliflower peptides could be applied in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract: This paper is related to study the potential of orange peel on the removal of copper ions from simulated wastewater using different design parameters by adsorption technique. The operating parameters studied to adsorb copper ions using orange peel as an adsorbent material were initial concentration of copper, absorbance material packing height which was orange peel, pH of copper feed inlet solution, and treatment time, these parameters were varied from (1-100) mg/l, (10-50) cm, (1-8), and (1-60) min respectively. All experiments were carried out at constant feed flow rate (1 l/min) and constant temperature 25°C. Results show that the higher removal efficiency was 89.25 % for copper from aquatic solution and this efficiency was decreased with increasing of initial concentration and pH while the removal efficiency increased with increasing adsorbent material bed height and contact time. The residues of orange peels that loaded with copper ions were prepared to use it as a rodenticide by applying it on the laboratory rats and calculate the half lethal dose (LD50). The residues show a good ability to use it as a rodenticide and the LD50 calculated was in the same range mentioned in the literature. By this way, it can possess different benefits in the same time, which are remove the toxic copper ions from contaminated the water by highly efficiency, get rid of agricultural waste orange peel and finally prepare an active, cheap and simple rodenticide. So, it can discard more toxic waste in a coast and eco-friendly method accessing to Zero Residue Level (ZRL) concept.

10.36348/sb.2018.v04i08.005
Abstract: This dissertation examines the way Arabs are stereotyped in Hollywood war films. The dissertation shows how the enemy is portrayed in Hollywood war films. After World War II Nazis were the enemy in Hollywood combat films, and most of the films about WWII, depict Nazis as such. After WWII, the role of the enemy shifted from the Nazis to the Vietnamese. The fear of communism and the victory after the Cold War led Hollywood to depict Vietnamese as enemy in Vietnam War combat films. To study the way the Arabs are stereotyped in Hollywood war films, this dissertation makes a comparison between the depiction of these historical enemies and the representation of Iraqis in war films. By analysing motion pictures produced by Hollywood following each war, similarities and differences are identified in the way enemies are portrayed.

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.

Women hospitalized with high risk pregnancy are exposed to many stressors such
as separation from their families, unsuitable and noisy environment, hospital routine, lack of
privacy. Stress has negative effect on maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes such as abortion,
preterm birth and low birth weight babies. One group time series research design. A
purposive sample of 45 high risk pregnant women. High risk in-patient (unit 21) at El
Manial University Hospital. A- Maternal Interviewing Questionnaire, B- Perceived
Stress Scale, C- Hospital Stressors Assessment Sheet. Study revealed statistical
significant difference in stress level before and after intervention due to emotional support
(X2 41.627, P .000*) and there is statistical significant difference between stress level and
maternal complications (X2 49.828, P .023*), but there is no statistical significant
difference between stress level and neonatal birth weight, neonatal complications(X2
18.280, P .107*), time and mode of delivery. Women hospitalized with high risk
