Tiatr, which has a history of more than 100 years, is a type of musical theatre popular in the state of Goa on the West coast of India as well as in Mumbai and with expatriate communities in the Middle East, London and other cities where Konkani speakers have a considerable presence. The dramas are performed mainly in the Roman Konkani dialects and include music, dancing and singing. Tiatr today revolves around social, religious and political themes. It is considered to be a mirror of Goan culture. The first original tiatr script was written and directed by JoãoAgostinhoFernandes, entitled “Belle de Cavel” or “SundoriCavelchi” in 1895 in Bombay and for all his consistent devotion and encouragement over fifty years, he was conferred the title “PaiTiatrist” (Father Tiatrist).Tiatr as a form of entrepreneurship has created direct as well as indirect employment for many artists as well as back stage support staff. Some families are fully dependent on this form of entrepreneurship for their livelihood. The economy of the state to a large extent is supported by this form of entertainment. Realizing its importance in the Goan economy, the government of Goa has devised various schemes financial as well as non-financial for the development of tiatr. However, it still needs the attention of policy makers as it has bright prospects, Goa being a tourist destination. The article tried to find out over a period of time how this form of entertainment evolved based on secondary data and through personal interaction with the producers of Tiatr.

The world-wide explosion of overweight people has been called an epidemic. In this climate of concern over the increasing prevalence of overweight conditions in our society, we focus on the possible role of oral bacteria as a potential direct contributor to obesity and this study designed for comparison of Enterococcus faecalis pollution amount in saliva of people with obesity and normal weight. In this study saliva of 90 patient was collected with body mass index between 18.5 and 25 for normal weight people and over 30 for obesity people, and were measured bacterial populations of their saliva. The data were analyzed by descriptive-statistically and chi-square test. In this study, 59 people of 90 investigated people had obesity and 31 people were in normal weight. The number of enterococci in the saliva of people with normal weight and obesity were mostly low. Analysis of data suggests that the composition of salivary bacteria changes in people with normal and overweight overweight people but this change is not significant statistically. Finally, we can conclude.

This article aimed to study the performance of rice production in a case study of Y Yen district, Namdinh province in the Red river delta and suggest some recommendation to improve the performance of rice production in the study site. The paper is based on the semi-structure, standard questionnaires and PRA methods to collect data from 48 representative rice producers. The results showed that average land area of rice production was low at 0.27 ha per household, but rice productivity was rather high as 5.34 tons per ha in Spring crop. The average revenue was 34.79 million VND, value added was 17.5 million VND. The production cost was too high, at 29.06 million VND, occupied 83.5% total revenue, which led to the low net income of the household at only 5.7 million VND per ha, accounted for only 16.5% of revenue. Counted on a hectare, hired labor cost took part 29% of total cost, proportion for the material equipment was 26.7%. Fertilizers and pesticide cost accounted for 28.7%, of which, 20% belonged to NPK. Some suggestion to improve the benefit for farmers were: reducing the production cost by using optimal fertilizers, pesticide; good material and equipment management; and applying technology and machine in rice production.

Irritant contact dermatitis due to synthetic undercast padding is rare complication of plaster cast treatment which is underreported in orthopedic literature. Pruritis was the main symptom a few days following the application of the cast in our patient. However, the symptoms were underestimated by the treating physician. Severe irritant contact dermatitis can occur against the polyester undercast padding and should be kept in mind in patients whom complaining of pruritis under the treatment of casting

The vaccination system is divided into two categories in China. The first is mandatory vaccination, mostly free and using domestic vaccines under the National Immunization Program. The second is alternative vaccination, which patents must pay for. In March 2016 Shandong Province in China, a vaccine scandal occurred, which is known as the Shandong problematic vaccines incident. The incident involved 24 provinces and regions in China, The vaccine safety affects hundreds of millions of people. And all the problematic vaccines involved are second category vaccines. It exposed a variety of existing problems for the Chinese second category vaccines supervision system. Based on the analysis perspective of supervision elements, this paper makes a case study by analyzing the five supervision elements, which include: the subject and objects of supervision, supervision institutions, supervision resources and supervision environment. And it focuses on the problems of the Chinese second category vaccines supervision system exposed in the case, including: the administration level and the team scale of supervision subject-as not match with its duty; the interestoriented awareness of supervision objects being insufficient; the vaccine tracking institution not being complete; the professional supervision of human resources being insufficient; the participation of social supervision being insufficient.

Due to their hard nature, the oxvandium (iv/v) ions have a good affinity towards O,N, donor ligands. The interaction of UO2+ with hydroxy carboxylic acid is also important because of their varied geometries. The vanadium atoms in the complexes are hex-coordinated and the coordination sphere is of the type [vo(oo) (NN)] where o-atoms are of oxo, carboxylic and phenolic type and N-atoms are of pyridine type. The sixth coordination position site is occupied by phenolic oxygen of neigh-bouring molecule forming a bridge, the (V=O) confirms, the hexa coordination. All the complexes have dxy' type axial EPR spectra and they exhibit two Ligand field transition at 740 and 440 mm

The main objective of the study was to evaluate the possible analgesic and central nervous system (CNS) depressant effects of methanol (MMPL), petroleum ether (PMPL), chloroform (CMPL), dichloromethane (DMPL) and aqueous (AMPL) extracts of the M. paniculata leaves. Analgesic effect was evaluated by acetic acid induced writhing and hot plate methods at 50 and 100 mg/kg dose. The CNS-depressant effect was assessed by using open field, hole cross and head deep tests at 100 and 200 mg/kg dose. All the extracts had exhibited significant (Pb < 0.01, Pa < 0.001) analgesic and CNS depressant effects at dose dependant manner. AMPL showed maximum analgesic effect with 72.92% inhibition of abdominal writhing and 33.03% maximal possible effect (MPE) of paw licking time at 100mg/kg dose. On the other hand, CMPL had shown highest CNS-depressant effect with 93.80% inhibition in open field, 84.63% inhibition in hole cross and 81.54% inhibition (head deeping) in head deep test at 200mg/kg dose. Among the five extracts AMPL is a potent analgesics and CMPL is a potent CNS-depressant agents. These findings may unveil the efficiency of these extracts as analgesics and CNS depressant drug which may lead to develop a new phyto-medicine

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a major urological condition characterized by impedance of urine outflow from the bladder into the urethra. The causes are numerous and commoner in aging males. The result is renal impairment if not addressed promptly. The aim of this study was to highlight the pattern of serum creatinine and urea in our patients population during the period under study and to define any association between the causes of BOO, age of patients and their renal status. One hundred and three (103) case notes were retrieved, twenty (20) did not contain complete investigation results needed for the study and were excluded. Eighty-three (83) patients entered the study with requisite results. Age ranged from 19-93 years with a mean of 61.70 + 11.139 years. Data on clinical history, physical examination, diagnostic and treatment modalities were collected and analysed. Serum creatinine was abnormal in 42.2% and urea in 24.1% of patients. There was neither statistical significant association between the renal status of respondents and causes of BOO nor their renal status and age at diagnosis

Abstract: Slice interpolation in medical images is one of the important concepts in medical image processing in which many attempts have been made to improve it. In general, it is divided into two groups that are intensity-based interpolation and object-based interpolation. This article is an overview of object-based interpolation, based on image registration. Due to the various types of image registration and curvature registration as the latest one, interpolation is done on the basis of this type of registration. According to this, there would be an optimization problem which is solved by the use of Euler-Lagrange. In this regard, an optimization problem converted into a partial differential equation that is solved by using finite difference method. Then, by applying the solution an optimal displacement vector for moving the image is obtained.

Abstract: Scoliosis deformity is characterized as a lateral deviation of the spine in three-dimensions accompanied by axial rotation of the vertebrae. In this paper by surveying on the mathematical model of spine movement, we simulate the growth of scoliosis disease of a patient by using finite element method for vertebrae T1-T6 of spine. For this purpose by using Newmark method, we first deal the numerical solution of the given mathematical model. We will also explain the growth process of this disease by using geometric drawing in Matlab environment. Moreover, numerical simulations based on the mentioned process are presented.
