Herbal combinations when used together may sometimes produce enhanced, same or diminished effect. As a result, herb combinations used in the management of diabetes mellitus need to be thoroughly investigated to provide the best effect in reducing the major underlying cause (hyperglycemia) of the disease. Aqueous extracts of Gymnema sylvestre (GS) and Combretum micranthum (CM) leaves were subjected to solvent-solvent partitioning along different polarities. The best fractions (methanol) in terms of in vivo fasting blood glucose (FBG) in alloxan-diabetic mice were subjected to column chromatography and preparative-TLC to obtain sub-fractions and sub-sub-fractions respectively. Sub-fractions D and G for GS and CM respectively gave the best reduction in FBG in vivo while sub-sub-fractions D4 and G4 yielded highest percentage reduction in FBG in alloxan-diabetic mice. The probable mode of action of the phenolic compounds identified by UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS in both plants could be by inhibiting activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. At a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, a 1:1 combination of GS-D4 and CM-G4 sub-sub-fractions, containing mainly phenolic compounds, significantly (P < 0.05) reduced FBG to 58.25±7.54% in 2 hours and 69.11±6.78% in 4 hours in a synergistic manner.

Islamic political thought has remained the most contentious subject from the 7th century C.E. of Islamic civilisation. The thought witnessed the diverse interpretations throughout the ages. During Medieval Islamic history hereditary succession, decline in spirituality, and alien influences in socio-political thought and cultural affairs of Muslims obliged Muslim political thinkers to come forward in order to present an appropriate political thought of Islam in their respective ages, so that the legacy of Islam would be maintained.

Head and neck sarcomas are exceedingly rare, representing 4–10 per cent of all sarcomas and less than 1 per cent of head and neck malignanties. The objective of this study is to analyse epidemiological and histopathological data of these neoplasms in Fez, Morocco. This is a retrospective study including all head and neck sarcomas histologically proven between 2007 and 2016. It was conducted at the department of pathology of the Hassan II university hospital, fez, Morocco. The characteristics of patients including age, sex, location, and histological diagnosis were analyzed. 54 cases of head and neck sarcomas were diagnosed. There was a male predominance with a sex-ratio of 1.5. The mean age was 37.7 years (1 year-88years). There were 45 soft tissue sarcomas, mostly located in the face, and 9 bone sarcomas mostly located in the mandible. Rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma were the commonest types. In Fez, head and neck sarcomas share some characteristics with previous published series and present some differences. They occur mostly in males, with a younger age at diagnosis and a higher proportion of children. Soft tissue location is the most frequent, particularly facial and rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma are the commonest types

Access and use to the right kind of information and possession of correct and relevant information resolves various problems faced by individuals in the slum and also helps them in decision making. Limited access to the right information at the right time deprives the slum dwellers the right to development. The information needs of the slum dwellers are not adequately identified and therefore the limited information resources they access and use are usually based on the assumption of information provided, through the public, from among themselves, NGOs, CBOs, the churches and the private sector. Therefore the aim of the study was to evaluate access and use of community information services to Kibera slum dwellers and to suggest the ways in which these services could be enhanced. Examine Information seeking habits of the slum dwellers in Kibera i. Assess the existing information resources and services ii. Establish the extent to which information resources and services meet user needs iii. Identify the format in which information is repackaged iv. Find out Challenges faced by accessing and using of information v. Suggest how access of information services by slum dwellers can be enhanced The major findings of the study were that Kibera slum dwellers faced various challenges which include high cost of information materials, Poor knowledge of existing information resources, poor marketing of information, lack of internet access, distance, language barrier, inadequate and outdated information sources that inhibited effective access and use of information. Recommendations were made based on the research findings.

This paper aims to investigate the effect of gender and nationality of 9th and 10th grade students in public and private schools of India, Pakistan and Zimbabwe on their achievement in mathematics based upon achievement data (n=5996) for session 2012-2013 which was gathered manually in 2013 from the participated schools of all the countries (India, Pakistan & Zimbabwe) where each country contributed 2000 sample of students collected from 20 schools and data of four students from Zimbabwe was lost, so total sample of the study was 5996 students. The influence of public and private schools was also examined on students’ achievement for the total sample. Data was analyzed by using t-test, analysis of variance and results of the study indicated that significant differences existed on the mathematics achievement of public and private school students of all the three countries and private school students achieved better in mathematics than public school students indicating private school students still achieve better than students of public schools. Besides, male and female students in public and private schools of each country achieved equal in mathematics indicating no gender disparity even in public and private schools which provides new insight that male and female students achieve equal in public schools as well as in private schools, although, private school students achieve more scores in mathematics than public school students. In addition, analysis of variance indicated that Indian public school and private school students achieve more than students of other two countries. Indian male students of public schools achieved more than public school students of Pakistan and Zimbabwe. Similarly, performance of Indian female students of public schools in mathematics was better than Pakistan and Zimbabwe public school students. Furthermore, both male and female students of private schools of India achieved better in mathematics than male and female private school students of Pakistan and Zimbabwe. Findings show that there was no gender disparity in public and private schools of the examined countries while nationality had significant effect on mathematics achievement of students as Indian students achieved highest in public and private schools than students of other two countries.

Polymeric materials obtained from plant sources have become very versatile excipients for the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form especially tablet dosage form. This study was aimed at the preliminary characterization of Myrianthus arboreus gum as pharmaceutical excipient. Myrianthus arboreus gum was extracted from the dried powdered leaves of Myrianthus arboreus plant and characterized based on parameters such as micromeritic properties, phytochemical evaluation, viscosity, loss on drying, solubility, ash value and swelling index. The results obtained from this study showed a yield of gum after extraction of 11.34 % and swelling index of 97.63 % after 48 hours. A 1 % w/v dispersion of gum gave pH and viscosity values of 6.73 and 4,333 mPa·s respectively. Myrianthus arboreus gum exhibited fairly good flow properties with angle of repose of 31.65 º, bulk and tapped densities of 0.46 and 0.62 g/ml respectively and Carr’s index value of 25.33 %. The gum was found to swell in cold water, soluble in hot water and insoluble in organic solvents. It can be concluded therefore that Myrianthus arboreus gum could possibly be used as pharmaceutical excipient for the formulation of liquid and solid dosage forms

The importance of soil resources to attain sustainability in crop production, eco-development and protection of environment is an established fact. Management of soil on a scientific basis is essential for sustained and increased agricultural production, on this prime perspective a study on physiochemical characters of soils has been conducted in the Talapilli Taluk of Thrissur District, India. Talapilli is the agricultural dominant area in the District and hence the study help in more understanding of the quality of the soil for proper management practices in agriculture and other sectors as well. The physiochemical characters analyzed in the study are texture, soil depth, slope, erosion, pH, electrical conductivity, primary nutrients like available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and secondary nutrients like magnesium and sulphur. The result indicates that Talapilli has gravelly clay loam and gravelly sandy clay loam soils in higher proportion having moderate to deep soil depth with moderate slope and less to moderate intensity of erosion. As far as chemical composition is concerned in Talapilli Taluk major proportion of soil has pH ranges from 5.1 to 6, that which shows the acidic nature of the soil. The nutrient status is appreciably good in the Taluk except few places in the Taluk that is in the centre, north and northeast of the Taluk. To consider the nutrients in specific available nitrogen and potassium is medium in the Taluk among primary nutrients and magnesium is low and sulphur is high among secondary nutrients.

The aim of this study was to compare three types of commercially available brackets for corrosion susceptibility after immersing them in artificial saliva. A total of 360 brackets were used. The brackets were divided in to four groups (Control Group X and Experimental Groups A, B and C). The experimental groups were divided on the basis of duration of immersion in artificial saliva of pH 6.75 ± 0.15. Each group was divided in to corresponding subgroups. The bracket surfaces were analysed using UV –Visible Spectrophotometer and Small Angle Xray Scattering (SAXSS). ANOVA (Analysis of One Way Variance) was used for group comparisons. For post hoc comparisons Newman-Keuls multiple posthoc procedure was applied. Leone and Nu Edge Cr- Co brackets showed progressive signs of corrosion and leaching of Fe and Mg ions after immersion in artificial saliva. Discovery SL brackets showed no signs of corrosion. Leone and Cr-Co Nu Edge are susceptible to corrosion activity in comparison to Discovery SL brackets.

Cutaneous mesenchymal tumors dermal and/or hypodermic are relatively frequent. They are characterised by extreme clinicopathological heterogeneity and dominated by benign tumors. About a series of 126 cases, we have studied the epidemiological, pathological and evolutive profile of these tumors. This is a retrospective study executed at the department of pathology of Moulay Ismail Military Hospital in Meknes-Morocco, between 2014 and 2016. Results: The average age was 41 years-old (15-84 years old). The sex ratio H/F was 1.2. The lower limb was the most frequent location (35%). The surgical pathologic study focused on biopsy material in 100% of cases. 92% of these tumors were benign. They were mainly represented by lipomatous tumors, followed by fibrous and fibro-histiocytic tumors and vascular tumors. 8 % of the tumors were malignant. These were mainly fibrous tumors, followed by vascular tumors. The immunohistochemical study was performed in 11 cases. Surgical treatment was executed in 65% of cases. The evolution was favorable for benign and majority of malignant tumors after a large surgical treatment. One case of death and one case of recidivism were noted. Benign cutaneous mesenchymal tumors have a good prognosis. However, the diagnostic and therapeutic management and the prognostic evaluation of cutaneous sarcomas remain difficult
