This study was conducted at the Demonstration Farm of Fuculty of Agriculture , Kassala University during
2014/2015 and 2015/ 2016 seasons in the Halfah Elgadidah, Sudan. Randomized complete plot design with four
replications was used in this study. The treatments were four sowing dates (S1, S2, S3 and S4) corresponding to 1rst
Nov,15th Nov, 1rst Dec and 15th Dec and two diverse sesame cultivars “Promo” V1, Um shagara V2. The main objective
of this study is to investigate the effects of sowing dates on morpho-phonologial traits and seed yield in two sesame
cultivars. The obtained results showed that V2 possessing higher stem diameter, larger leaf area, higher number of
fruiting branches and capsules per plant as well as seed yield as compared with V1. Sowing dates significantly influenced
the different morphological attributes in this study viz, plant height, stem diameter and leaf area. Most of these characters
were significantly higher when sesame sown during 15th Nov but the highest leaf area was achieved in last sowing date.
Among the varying dates of sowing S2 and S3 significantly recorded higher number of fruiting branches and capsules per
plant as well as seed yield as compared with first and last sowing dates. It may be inferred that Umshagra cultivar can be
adopted and recommended in study area during S2 and S3 if grown as irrigated crop.

The Banking sector has a crucial role to play in the development of an economy. It is the key driver of
economic growth of the country. In India, the banking sector is very strong at the present but at the same time, banking is
considered to be a very risky business. Most often than not root cause of a financial turmoil is inefficient risk
management practices adopted by the financial institutions. Banks must thus see risk management as an ongoing and
valued activity as it is directly linked to financial system stability of the country. The purpose of this research is to outline
various risks posed by the Indian Banks and strategies adopted by them for risk management. The secondary objective is
to compare the risk severity and success of risk management practices for the public sector and private sector Indian
Banks.

The physiomorphological divergence was assessed in twenty-seven soybean genotypes by using cluster mean
analysis, principal component and principal coordinate analysis and mean difference to identify parental genotypes for
future breeding program in order to develop new high yielding varieties in randomized complete block design with three
replications. Plant height, days to first flowering and days to 50% flowering have the highest percent of variations anomg
the traits. The genotypes under the experiment were grouped into five clusters. The highest inter cluster distance was
found between cluster I and IV followed by I and V. According to principal component scores F-85-11347 and ASSET-
93-19-13 have the prominent influence towards varietal improvement. Selecting genotypes from distant clusters probably
provide promising recombinants and better segregants for future breeding platform.

People are put into situations sometime throughout their life where they are asked, “Would you like to donate?
Cause related marketing requires often guilt and shame tactics to get people to perform desired behavior, which more
often than not is donating to an organization. We wanted to find to what extent does guilt and shame drive the likelihood
for someone to donate? Also, what demographics are more likely to donate than others? To figure out these questions as
well as others, we conducted a quantitative research study. We gathered primary data through a convenience random
sampling method to continue for our descriptive research using quantitative data, then used OLS Simple Linear
Regression to process the data. The following data that we found to be the most significant from our survey is focused on
Age, Income, and Neuroticism. Showing that a person’s age, Income, emotional stability all have some connection as to
feelings guilt or shame as the statscal driver to donate to a non-profit organization. We also found that Gender, Ethnicity,
Income, and Year of School do not have an effect on a person’s likelihood to donate. We have found significant data that
nonprofit organizations may benefit from for their marketing strategies. They can save money by avoiding costly
marketing campaigns that target a certain gender, because gender does not drive likelihood to donate and gender does not
drive susceptibility to guilt and shame tactics. They can improve their bottom line by spending it on the right age groups.
Organizations should spend their money targeting age groups 25-54 because they are more susceptible to guilt and shame
tactics, eventually leading to donations.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the heavy metal decontaminating activity of Salvinia molesta
from municipal waste water. The waste water was treated with the plant specimen for five and ten days consecutively
after which it was analyzed for the estimation of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc
(Zn) by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The waste water was also analyzed before
the treatment. The results of the investigation showed that the non-treated samples indicated higher content of Fe
followed by Zn in sample Nitta gelatin (NG). It was found that Cu and Ni were present in similar quantities in all
samples. A favorable decrease was seen in Zn in all samples and Fe in sample NG after five days of treatment. The
concentration of Cu and Fe were found to be below the detection limit in samples collected from Chalakudy (CH),
Ernakulam (ER) and Kokkala (KK) after ten days of treatment. Ni was found to be below the detection limit in samples
ER and KK. Zn was found to be at a reduced level in samples CH, ER, KK and NG. Cd and Pb were found to be below
the detection limit (0.01 and 0.05 ppm) in all four samples before treatment, after five and ten days of treatment. The
present findings revealed that S. molesta was efficient in reducing the heavy metal concentration in the waste water,
suggesting being a bioaccumulator of these metals.

The aim is to determine the effect of two dietary drinks Coca Cola and Tropicana orange juice on the surface
hardness of two aesthetic nanocomposite materials. Materials and methods: The materials included nanocomposite
materials Shofu Beautifil II and Estelite α- supranano composite. A sample size of 120 specimens of 5.5mm × 3 mm in
dimension of each restorative material was prepared . The discs were divided into 2 groups of 60 specimens each and
each subgroup of 20 samples each .The discs were immersed in different beverages in time intervals of 1 hour,1 day and
1week . Surface hardness tests were performed before immersion and at time intervals of 1 hour,1 day and 1 week
intervals. Statistical analysis used was one way ANOVA. Results: Exposure to Coca Cola and Tropicana orange juice
reduced the hardness of both the nanocomposites with Coca Cola showing greater reduction in hardness between the two
with p<0.05. Shofu Beautifil II showed greater reduction in hardness than Estelite α-supranano at all time intervals.
Conclusion: Estelite α-supranano showed better results compared to Shofu Beautifil II .Clinicians should therefore
judiciously decide which material will be better for patients taking into consideration their dietary habits and lifestyle.

Biochemical responses of Red Sokoto bucks experimentally infected with Trypanosomes were studied.
Twenty four bucks were divided into 4 groups of 6 animals each (I, II, III, and IV). Group 1 served as the uninfected
control group, Group II and III were inoculated with 2 ml of 1 x106 Trypanosoma brucei and T. congolense respectively
while Group IV were inoculated with 2 ml of 1x106 parasites each of T. congolense and T. brucei. The bucks in all the
infected groups were treated on day 14 post patency with Isometamidium Chloride (2%) at the dose rate of 0.5 mg/kg
IM. Serum enzymes (Aspartate amino transferase, Alanine amino transferase, Alanine amino phosphate) were all
elevated. Urea and potassium levels were increased, while the levels of Na+, Cl- and HCO3 were decreased. The elevated
biochemical parameters were more pronounced during the infection and relapse phases in the entire infected group. This
study concludes that during trypanosome infection phases, serum enzyme; urea and potassium were elevated while Na+,
Cl- and HCO3 ions were decreased.

This is the first study of aeromycoflora from the two places Ad Darb and Shuqaiq in the Jizan province. The
diversity of aeromycoflora of the two places was isolated to know the environmental status. A total number of sixteen
outdoor and indoor environmental samples of aeromycoflora were collected and studied from the two places along with
the College of Science and Arts for Girls at Ad Darb. The aeromycoflora was cultured by open petri plate method during
the month of April 2017 . A qualitative and quantitative assessment of the indoor and outdoor mycoflora was carried out
by exposing the Potato Dextrose Agar petri plates in the different environments each for a period of two minutes.The
fungal cultures on the petri plates and the slides were identified by microscopic and macroscopic characteristics. The
outdoor aeromycoflora was represented by Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Aureobasidium, Curvularia,
Dresclera, Epicoccum, Fusarium, Penicillium and Yeast. The indoor aeromycoflora was represented by Aspergillus,
Colletotrichum , Penicillium, Chrysosporium and Ulocladium. The most predominant genus was Aspergillus. The colony
forming unit (CFU)3 of each of the represented mycoflora was calculated to find out the level of contamination at the
different sites. The (CFU)3 values indicated that the outdoor mycoflora was higher than the indoor mycoflora .The
fungal genera isolated are pathogenic. Hence a polluted aerial environment is harmful not only to human health but also
to the animals and plant life .Therefore a constant monitoring for a clean and germ free environment is needed at all
times.

10.21276/sjodr
Poor oral health can be a precursor to serious diseases including oral cavity and oral cancers. However, oral
health assessments and screenings are largely neglected in vulnerable populations, such as prisoners in developing
countries. Little efforts have been made to address this public health problem. The purpose of this systematic review is to
provide an overview of oral health status of prisoners in India. Following PRISMA-P (Preferred Reporting Items for
Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols), 13 studies were selected that assessed the oral health status of
prisoners in India and were published in English between January 2010 and May 2016. The review indicated that
prisoners have a high prevalence of dental caries, missing teeth and filled teeth score ranging from 2.7 to 5.7, poor
periodontal status (60-90%), and high prevalence of oro-mucosal lesions (as high as 60%). The poor standards of past
oral care and virtual absence of oral health care facility necessitates policy amendments to improve the oral health of
prisoners. It is important to not only assess and treat the diagnosed oral diseases but also to develop preventative
measures for this relatively isolated and vulnerable population. This is the first systematic review to assess oral health
among prisoners in India. This study will encourage policy makers to develop appropriate preventative and treatment
programs for oral health of the prisoners.

Individuals with special health needs are disadvantaged by virtue of the health challenges they face which
contributes to their reduced ability to take care of their overall health. The aim of the study was to determine the oral
health status and treatment needs of a group of individuals with special health needs. A cross-sectional study was carried
out in an institution for individuals with special health needs in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Information on demographics and
medical conditions of the participants was obtained from their teachers/minders. Their oral cavities were then examined
for their oral hygiene status, dental caries, malocclusion, dental anomalies and dental trauma. Sixty four subjects
consisting of 34 (53.1%) males and 30 (46.9%) females with a mean age of 13.6 (+ 6.86) years were assessed. Five
health conditions were noticed; Cerebral palsy 23 (35.9%), Down‘s syndrome 21 (32.8%), learning disability 11 (17.2%),
autism 7 (10.9%) and seizure disorders (3.1%). Although 46 (71.9%) were caries free, the mean DMFT was 0.61 (+1.16)
and there was no significant difference (p=0.50) across the gender. The decayed component was 75% and there were no
filled teeth. The mean OHI-S was 1.66 (+ 0.79) and thirty three (51.6%) had good oral hygiene with no significant
differences (p=0.16) across the medical conditions. Thirty (46.7%) individuals needed oral prophylaxis and 18.1% were
in need of restorative care. Fourteen (21.9%) needed composite/labial facing while 10.4% would need stainless crowns
on the posterior teeth. The study establishes inadequate utilisation of dental services among special healthcare need
individuals.

Vertical root fracture(VRF) is one of the common reasons for extraction of endodontically treated teeth.
Though many options of saving such teeth were available, they were not of much success. Therefore the objective of this
article is to discuss one such case. A 50 year old male patient reported with Vertical root fracture and 15 mm of
periodontal probing depth in the distal aspect of 14. Radiographic examination indicated vertical root fracture. Dual cure
nanoionomer cement, Ketac N100 was used to seal the fracture followed by guided tissue regeneration therapy with
amniotic membrane. The use of dual cure nanoionomer cement and amniotic membrane showed favourable results as the
pocket probing depth reduced to 5mm and bone formation was appreciated radiographically at 1 year. It can be
concluded that the combination of dual cure nanoionomer and amniotic membrane may be a suitable approach in the
management of Vertical root fracture since it remarkably improved the prognosis of the tooth.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to highlight on the effect of school governance on the prevalence of KCSE examination cheating in public and private secondary schools in Kisii County of Kenya. The study employed ex post facto and survey research design. The target population comprised of 1119 subjects comprising of principals, invigilators and examination officers drawn from 317 public and 46 private secondary schools in Kisii County. A sample of 109 principals, 218 invigilators and 10 examination officials was selected through stratified random sampling so as to participate in the study. The study utilized questionnaires to collect data. The instruments were tested for reliability and adapted after they scored 0.752 and 0.765 for the Invigilators’ questionnaire and School Principals’ questionnaire respectively. The study collected both qualitative and quantitative data. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used with the help of SPSS to analyze quantitative data. Qualitative data was analyzed by use of descriptive analysis, by categorizing results into tables. The findings show that the current efforts put in place by KNEC to ensure compliance with the set rules and regulations to stop examination cheating in public and private secondary schools in Kisii County are not adequate. Following the findings, the study recommends that KNEC considers mobilizing resources to upscale its measures to check on examination cheating and resources to support use of modern technology to monitor KNEC examinations in Kisii County.

10.21276/sjhss
Demonetization is the valorous step taken by the government of India. Disastrous issues in India are
corruption and terrorism and the root cause of these problems are black money. So the black money is playing lead role
in deprivation of our country. Various reports of reliable institution depicted the worsen situation of black money such as
according to a report of “NIPFP the existence of black money in Indian economy was 31,584 in 1983 which has risen up
to 10,00,000 in 2012”.It was the requirement of the moment to unearth a audacious step to tackle the various problem
regarding black money (such as corruption and terrorism)in one major stroke. So government of India has decided to
introduce demonetization of RS.500 and RS.1000 notes on 8th November 2016. The reason behind demonetization of
these high denominations notes was, Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes constitute 86.9% of total currency. This paper is throwing
light on the position of black money in India and the effect of demonetization on black money.
