This paper investigates the linear stability of two superposed Maxwell viscoelastic fluid layers in the presence of a uniform horizontal magnetic field. A normal-mode analysis is applied to the governing MHD equations to derive the dispersion relation for interfacial disturbances. The results show that the viscosity and permeability of porous medium both have destabilizing influence on the growth rate of unstable mode of disturbance.

This sociological research analysis was conducted during the year 2017
in the month of August to December. This study explored some factors in relation
to alcohol & tobacco use among labourer class (from 18 years – below 50) age
group. The present case study has been done on labour class working in the
organized & unorganized sector and was carried out in an industrial town of Baddi,
Himachal Pradesh which is known as the pharmaceutical capital of India. This
study was focused on the socio-economic implication of alcohol & tobacco on the
life of industrial worker’s family. The purposive sampling was used to decide the
samples and three case studies were carried out with the help of some focused
group discussion conducted with the community members. The target population
was the user (both alcohol & tobacco) & one of the family members residing with
him/her. This involved purposively chosen families who narrated the stories about
alcohol & tobacco and it’s harmfully impacts on them. These families helped the
researcher to observe some qualitative findings based on these two intoxicants. The
present result suggested that socio-cultural, religion-custom, beliefs factors played
an important role in context with alcohol & tobacco consumption. This affects the
marriage stability, emotional well-being of the child, user’s behaviour, misuse of
these two intoxicants.

Bio-fuels are the most promising renewable energy which may provide a
viable mode of alternative system and can be a real substitute to fossil fuels.
Nevertheless, this technology ought to overcome a number of hurdles before it can
compete in the fuel market and can be broadly organized. Consequently, the present
research was attempted to evaluate the esterified oil obtained from „Gingili (Sesame)
seed‟ (botanically called Sesamum indicum, L. belongs to family Pedaliaceae) for
various physico-chemical parameters followed by performance of diesel engine with
variable blends. Accordingly, the oil generated from the seeds of Gingili was
subjected for transesterification with methanol in presence of catalyst NaOH. The
fuel properties of Gingili (Sesame) bio-diesel can meet up with the specification of
ASTM such as, Color (pale brown), Specific Gravity at 150 C0.88, Kinematic
viscosity@400C 5.22, Cetane number 53.20, Sulphur, wt% 0.0083, Cloud point 12,
Pour point -10, Lower Heating Value (KJ/Kg) 40676.848, Flash point 2400C, Fire
point 1840C. Further, an imperative performance of diesel engine was recorded with
increase in ratio of fuel blends of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% & 50% respectively. In
addition, the comparative analysis was also carried-out between both Gingili
(Sesame) bio-diesel and petroleum diesel with diesel engine system at variable loads
and the performance characteristics of the engine were analyzed. The engine test
results showed significant thermal efficiency in Gingili biodiesel compared to
petroleum diesel with respect to performance and emission parameters. The emission
parameters like, Carbon monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbons
(HC) was found to be low when compared to petroleum diesel. In conclusion, Gingili
biodiesel found to be most significant source as compared to petroleum diesel on the
basis of over all performance and emission parameters deliberated via analysis.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.1.21
Resilience is the process by which one is capable of managing stress or
trauma. The young adult individuals have their own capacities that they use to deal
with obstacles and their problems and eventually to go on with their lives.
Resilience can be most useful in traumatic situations like parental death. This paper
studies the literature to understand the effects that parental death causes on early
adult population and the different sources that help an individual in being resilient.
Parental death has seen to cause various effects like decreased competency,
depressive symptoms, low psychological well-being, increased binge eating, etc.
among individuals. Supporting others, using our strengths, family support, coping
styles have been found in various studies as important factors in being resilient.
Thus it is necessary to study, find out and make available to the aforementioned
vulnerable population, especially in India the different activities, factors or
techniques of building resilience. This would help them overcome situations
through understanding resilience as a protective factor.

Using cement dust in asphalt mixing can have many environmental
advantages. Before widely adapting cement dust in asphalt paving, trial sections and
adequate provisions should be provided. By pass cement dust is proposed within this
research as an alternative to traditional mineral filler in hot mix asphalt (HMA). The
effect of using waste cement dust as mineral filler on the Marshall properties of hot
mix asphalt was investigated. The optimum cement dust content was determined.
Five asphalt concrete mixtures with various cement dust contents, namely; 0%, 30%,
50%, 70% and 100% by weight of the filler were studied. Laboratory testing has
revealed an enhancement in Marshall when cement dust was used. Marshall testing
results have indicated an increase in the stability, unit weight and a decrease in the
flow, voids ratio and voids in mineral aggregates when the percentage of cement dust
content increases. The optimum cement dust ratio was found to be 100% of the used
mineral filler. Hence, cement dust can totally replace filler in asphalt paving
mixtures.

This paper considers how the kotoki (political Interpreter) adopted by
the Ahoms kings and later adopted by the British to deal with the various hill tribes
of Arunachal Pradesh became one of the important element in the Nyishi
traditional system. Here I tried to highlight the growth and development of kotoki
and its mere role as a messenger to becoming a decision making body in the Nyishi
Village Council. The paper focuses on the how the kotoki served as a bridge
between the outsiders and Nyishi, which helps in understanding the culture,
customs and traditional practices of the Nyishi. It also deals how the Nyishi after
remaining isolated for so long gradually opened up to the outsiders though with
much intricacy.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) have become a hot research area
over the past few years. The main purpose of VANETs is to improve traffic safety,
traffic efficiency, and driving comfort. Particularly, traffic safety attracts the great
attention of government, academia, and industry, because it is the most critical aspect
of VANETs related to human lives. Therefore, many safety applications in VANETs
have been proposed and investigated. However, how to guarantee the reliability of
safety applications in VANETs is a big challenge, considering its natures of vehicle
mobility and ad-hoc connection. In this paper, we provide an overview of VANETs
for safety applications. Then, we discuss the specific reliability requirements in
VANETs and the corresponding quality of service (QoS) metrics. Furthermore, based
on these requirements and metrics, we analyse and evaluate whether or not current
VANETs are able to support safety applications with stringent reliability
requirements. New insights into potential enhancements from perspective of both
new dynamic QoS requirements and radio resource sharing are provided and
discussed. Finally, we illustrate future research directions to improve the reliability of
VANETs for safety applications.

Today, Kenya Government is pursuing Vision 2030. Kenya Vision 2030
is the country‟s new development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. It aims
to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing, “middle-income country aims to
ensure gender equity in power and resource distribution and increase participation of
women in all economic, social and political decision making process. Further more
education may also contribute to raising the quality of the labour force and hence
increased productivity within a lifespan. The purpose of the study was to carry out an
in-depth analysis on performance of women with that of men in relation to equity to
University learning resources. Second to examine alternative strategic plans for
enhance university student performance in science, mathematics and technology
programmes. The theory used in this study was Liberal feminism. It is rooted in the
tradition of 16th- and 17th-century liberal philosophy, which focused on the ideals of
equality and liberty. The research design used in this study is ex post facto. The
study was carried out in 3 Kenyan public and 3 private universities. Chi-square
statistical test was used to establish relationships and variable traits while themes
were derived from narrative data. The findings of this study revealed that in lower
levels of education tier boys outdo girls in SMTs in terms of performance. However,
at university level, men and women perform equally well. Contrary to general
misconception that transition of women is not at same the rate as men, the study has
shown that the difference is insignificant. The study has also established that there is
no correlation between gender and preference of SMT programmes at university
level. Government should set aside lots of capital to equip the SMTs facilities at all
the universities.

This article highlights and explores the hermeneutical phenomenology
found in Haitian/Vilokan Idealism. The work posits that Haitian ontology,
Vodou/Vilokan, gave rise to its epistemology, Haitian/Vilokan Idealism, which
subsequently gave rise to the Vodou Ethic and the spirit of communism and the
lakou system as its form of social and system integration, respectively. Within
Haitian/Vilokan Idealism, the work concludes, is a hermeneutical phenomenology
that parallels Martin Heidegger’s hermeneutical phenomenology.

The first tumor marker reported was Bence Jones protein in 1846 by
precipitation of a protein in acidified boiled urine. The measurement of Bence Jones
protein has been a diagnostic test for multiple myeloma. The first modern tumor
marker used to detect cancer was human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), a marker
used in pregnancy tests. High level of HCG in the blood may indicate the presence of
a placental malignancy. After pregnancy if the uterus continues to enlarge; then a
high level of HCG in the blood may indicate the presence of a cancer of the placenta
called as Gestational trophoblastic disease. This marker is still used to help in their
diagnosis & to monitor their response to therapy. The first success in developing a
blood test for a common cancer was in 1965, when Carcinoembryonic antigen was
found in the blood of some patients with colon cancer. By the end of 1970s several
other blood tests had been developed for different cancers. Some proteins are
secreted and/or cleaved into the extra cellular milieu and may represent valuable
serum biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. This review is all about the various
salivary tumor markers which help in diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Botriomycome exceptionally reveals an infectious bone site. We report a
case of botriomycoma revealing tuberculosis osteitis of the tibia in a 38-year-old man
without particulars antecedents, who consulted for a cutaneous lesion at the 1/3
proximal of the left leg evolving over 4 months, with bone involvement in imaging, in
whom the histological examination of the cutaneous and bone lesions allowed the
diagnosis of botriomycoma on an underlying tuberculosis osteitis. Following surgical
management associated with anti-tuberculosis treatment, the outcome was favorable.
Botriomycoma is a well-known but little reported entity in the literature. It is a benign
tumor that often reveals an underlying infectious but rarely bone site. Our case is the
first in which this tumor allows us to discover tuberculosis osteitis of the tibia.
