India has a strong judicial framework to safeguard people‟s rights, however
it is still has a lot of problems of infringement and enforcement of Intellectual Property
Rights (IPR). IPR exists in every innovation, but if it gets infringed, can result into
infinite business loss for the original creator considering the loss of revenue and
human intellect. Hence, it is important for businesses to know and understand the
value of IPR, manage them appropriately, protect them adequately to safeguard their
investments and efforts and reap the deserved benefits for their own work. Though
concern has always been expressed about losses and unfair practices, the recent years
have witnessed the lax in protection of IPR. It is advised that by adopting right policies
and strategies, IPR can be effectively protected with the help of law enforcement. Be it
an individual organization, an industry or even as a nation, IPR as a strategic
marketing tool has the potential to create the future where brand, technology, service,
people everything can together and become a force for development and market
leadership. The scope of IPR is expanding very fast and attempts are being made by
original creators to seek protection for their intellectual work. It is also important to
understand the enforcement measures available for protecting one‟s business or
individual creations. This paper discusses the mode of acquisition, nature of rights,
commercial exploitation, enforcement of those rights and protection available against
infringement of IPR in India with relevant suggestions for organizations to implement
and practice.

Lower literacy of female in Pakistan is because of countless constraints
such as, socioeconomic and spiritual issues. Females are anticipated to depart the
relations one date by becoming married; consequently teaching girls are believed a
commercial defeat by the parents. Therefore, parents are extra probable to teach their
sons only. But unfortunately female literacy rate is extremely low in Pakistan.
Women contain a bigger portion of Pakistani society. The population of the female is
extra than as difference for men. Female educational literacy rate is low. Girls
possess to face countless barriers, socioeconomic (Parental Occupation, Sibling size,
Relations income) and spiritual factor (Extremist attitude towards female education)
for their studies and upcoming career. Power and supplementary powers concern and
give attention on women's education. This discovers is basically targeting the factors
that are the main barriers to women's education.

Energy availability is a vital factor for the survival and optimal
performance of industries worldwide. Energy deficit poses a serious threat to the
optimal performance of industrial processes, industrial growth and economic
development of any nation. Nigeria is blessed with abundant natural resources from
which energy could be freely harnessed to meet the nation’s ever spiralling energy
needs. Owing to various reasons some of which are pin-pointed here, however,
Nigeria continues to suffer acute shortage of energy to power the manufacturing
sector therefore hindering her industrial and economic development. The study seeks
to investigate the impact of energy deficit on the overall equipment effectiveness
(OEE) of selected manufacturing firms in Nigeria as well as suggest ways of using
OEE to maximise energy and improve productivity. Data extracted from the sampled
firms were used in the computation of the Availability (A), Performance (P), Product
Quality (Q) and the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) applicable to each firm.
The findings show that Nigeria must adopt vigorous steps to explore and exploit its
abundant energy resources in other to achieve her dream of becoming an industrial
giant in the nearest future.

Abstract: The legal profession is a noble profession. It is highly regulated, as such, there are several mechanisms put in place to ensure discipline in the legal profession. There are several bodies created by the Legal Practitioners Act to ensure discipline in the profession. This paper analyzes the various regulations and disciplinary mechanisms of legal practitioners in Nigeria. This includes, the various regulatory bodies, the conducts that attracts discipline, the disciplinary procedure and the various sanctions that can be imposed upon liability and draw a conclusion that discipline in the legal profession is disjointed and inadequate, aside the inefficiency created because of the overlapping roles of the regulatory bodies. The paper concludes that the present disciplinary mechanisms need overhauling.

This study aimed to evaluate the polymerization depths of two different
bulk-fill posterior composite resins and a conventional posterior composite resin with
the microhardness test and there with the in vitro cytotoxicity test. For the
microhardness test, 10 samples were obtained for each group using Teflon molds.
Microhardness values were measured from the top and bottom surfaces of each
sample using the Vicker's microhardness test. For the cytotoxicity test, 12 samples
were obtained for each group using Teflon molds. The extraction fluids of samples
were obtained by incubating them at 37°C in RPMI 1640 medium for 24, 48, and 72
h. Cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay following incubation. The
microhardness values of the top and bottom surfaces of composite resins were
aligned as follows: Filtek Z550 Composite Resin > Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior
Composite Resin > Tetric N-Ceram Bulk-Fill Composite Resin. The microhardness
ratio of Filtek Z550 Composite Resin was found to be significantly higher than those
of other composite resins when the bottom surface–top surface microhardness ratios
were compared. The difference between the bottom surface–top surface
microhardness ratios of the Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Composite Resin and the Tetric
N-Ceram Bulk-Fill Composite Resin was not statistically significant. However, all
composite resins provided the recommended polymerization depth (≥80%). No
statistically significant difference was observed between the cytotoxicity values of
the composite resins after 24- and 48-h incubation. However, the Filtek Bulk-Fill
Posterior Composite Resin showed a significantly higher cytotoxicity compared with
the other groups after 72-h incubation. In addition, the cytotoxicity value obtained
after 72-h incubation of the Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Composite Resin was
significantly higher than the cytotoxicity values obtained after 24- and 48-h
incubation. Although adequate polymerization depth was obtained in all study
groups, the Filtek Bulk-Fill Posterior Composite Resin had significantly reduced cell
viability after 72-h incubation.

Successful management of furcation involved (FI) teeth is still a challenge
for clinicians. Multirooted teeth are at higher risk of periodontal destruction and early
tooth loss due to their complex anatomy and posterior location in the arch.
Maintenance of oral hygiene around furcation involved regions is difficult, resulting
in early, rapid and severe periodontal destruction. The outcomes of conservative and
regenerative therapies are unpredictable in such teeth. Resective periodontal therapy
in combination with endodontic and prosthetic treatments, offers a more practical and
predictable approach in management of such advanced FI teeth. This
multidisciplinary approach not only treats and preserves the tooth along with its
periodontium in part, but also restores its function as a whole. This case series
presents bicuspidization, hemisection and root resection as resective periodontal
therapy in the predictable and successful management of advanced grade II, grade III
and grade IV FI teeth.

10.36348/sb.2018.v04i02.012
Abstract: In this study, the effect of SiC reinforcement on the electrical, mechanical, physical properties and microstructure of copper matrix composite contact material was investigated. The composite materials were produced by using the powder metallurgy method. The unalloyed copper and SiC powder mixtures were shaped by using a uniaxial press after mixing for 10 minutes at 300 rpm. The shaped specimens were heat treated in graphite powder bad in a capped steel chamber and sintered at 800° C for 2 hours. Electrical conductivity, hardness, density measurements, microstructure analyzes and mineralogical analyzes of the samples were performed after sintering. The structure-property relationships of the produced monolithic and composite copper contact materials are discussed. It was determined that the value of electrical conductivity decreased with increasing amount of SiC phase, and hardness value increased compared to pure copper. Cu-SiC composites revealed better mechanical properties than monolithic copper contact materials.
