 Abstract

An investigation was carried out to study the relative performance of two indoor foliage plants, Aglaonema cv. Silver Queen and Dieffenbachia cv. Tropic Snow grown in various media compositions in form of a pot culture trial in the Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Siksha �O� Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar in an agro shade net house with 70 per cent shade during the period between October 2018 to April 2019. The trial was conducted in form of a Factorial Experiment following Completely Randomized Design with three replications and consisted of two factors viz., potting media and in door foliage plants as treatments. In the present investigation five media compositions viz., M1(2 parts of garden soil+ 1 part of FYM), M2 (2 parts of garden soil + 1 part of coarse sand +1 part of FYM), M3 (2 parts of garden soil +1 part of coco peat ), M4 (2 parts of garden soil +1 part of coarse sand +1 part of coco peat) and M5 consisting of 2 parts of FYM + 1 part of coco peat were used in which the ingredients were mixed on volume basis. The performances of the two indoor foliage plant species viz., (S1) Aglaonema and (S2) Dieffenbachia were evaluated in the above mentioned potting media for various growth and quality parameters. The results of the study revealed that among various combinations of M x S1, performance of Aglaonema grown in media M5 composed of 2 parts of FYM + 1 part of coco peat was most satisfactory with respect to almost all parameters. Growth parameter like leaf area and scoring for quality parameters like colour grade and visual plant grade were significantly higher under this treatment combination. Besides, parameter like plant spread also recorded highest value which was at par with either M2S1 or M4S1 combinations. Performance of Aglaonema (S1) under M4 ie.2 parts of garden soil +1 part of coarse sand + 1 part of coco peat (M4S1) was next to M5S1 which recorded higher values for leaf area, plant spread and stem diameter while parameters like colour grade and visual plant grade was improved under M2S1 ( ie. Aglaonema grown in 2parts of garden soil +1 part of coarse sand + 1 part of FYM ) combination next to M5S1. Performance of M3S1 combination ie. Aglaonema grown in 2 parts of garden soil + 1 part of coco peat was found unsatisfactory for various parameters which recorded the lowest scoring for visual plant grade and significantly lower score for colour grade. Besides, the performance of M1S1 combination ie. Aglaonema grown in 2 parts of garden soil +1 part of FYM wav more less similar with respect to different parameters under study. Various combinations of MxS2 ie. Dieffenbachia grown in different media compositions followed more or less similar trend as observed in MxS1 combination. Plants of Dieffenbachia grown in media M5 (2 parts of FYM + 1 part of coco peat) recorded significantly higher values for plant spread, visual scoring for colour grade and plant grade in addition to maximum basal diameter although this parameter was not significantly influenced . Performance of M4S2 combination ie. Dieffenbachia grown in 2 parts of garden soil + 1 part of coarse sand + 1 part of coco peat was also better which recorded highest individual leaf area followed by and at par with M5S2. Besides, plant spread, basal stem diameter and scoring for visual plant grade were also improved next to M5S2 combination. On the other hand scoring for colour grade was improved under M2S2 next to M5S2 combination. Significantly lower plant spread and scoring for colour grade were observed under M3S2 combination. Besides, lowest values were also recorded for basal stem diameter and visual grade of plants under this treatment combination. Performance of plants with respect to all the parameters under M1S2 combinations was found to be unsatisfactory.

 Abstract

This study has been undertaken to investigate the determinants of stock returns in Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) using two assets pricing models the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model and Arbitrage Pricing Theory model. To test the CAPM market return is used and macroeconomic variables are used to test the APT. The macroeconomic variables include inflation, oil prices, interest rate and exchange rate. For the very purpose monthly time series data has been arranged from Jan 2010 to Dec 2014. The analytical framework contains. This study was planned to characterize main anti-oxidant component Nasunin which is chemically an anthocyanin, from methanolic and aqueous extract of Solanum melongena L. purple coloured fruit peels. Peels of Solanum melongena L. purple coloured fruit peel were subjected to repeated maceration in acetic acid (10 %) for 24 hours and dried. Filtrate was extracted with 200 ml methanol, filtered and dried. Trifluoroacetic acid (1%) was added to this dried extract and analyzed by HPLC analysis. Peak was obtained at 25.658 and 25.649 minute that corresponds to methanolic and aqueous extract respectively. The peak strength and retention time (Rt) is inline and matches with the standard peak that confirms the presence of Nasunin; an anthocyanin component. From the results it was concluded that that peels of Solanum melongena L. contain high amount of anthocyanin component Nasunin which is considered as a strong anti-oxidant. Due to its high quantity, eggplant shows strong anti-oxidant activity which has been proven in-vitro. Nasunin is highly soluble in both media and is stable too. So this merits further investigation for anti-oxidant/ hepatoprotective activity in-vivo.

 Abstract

Lateral luxation is the displacement of the tooth in a direction other than axial, which is accompanied by comminution or fracture of the alveolar socket. Lateral luxation is one of the most prevalent dental injuries among the general population, resulting in up to 27% of all dental wounds. The aim of this report was to present a case of a dental lateral luxation caused by tipping forces from finger. The tooth was extruded from its bony lock, replaced into its original anatomic position, and secured with fiber reinforced composite. The permanent endodontic treatment was performed 4 weeks after repositioning. At the end of the 8-months follow-up, the tooth was asymptomatic and pathological alterations absent.

 Abstract

Introduction: Anaemia is one of the common nutritional deficiency disorders globally that is affecting both developed and developing nations. This has larger implications not only on the health but also reflects the social-economic development of the country. Iron deficiency anaemia can appear in any stage of life but is more common in young children or pregnant females. Adolescent especially girls are vulnerable to iron deficiency anaemia. Girls from age group 12 to 17 are prone to be affected and are considered as a high-risk group. Objective: To develop a literature review on iron deficiency anaemia in young girls. This has been a major public health issue in many countries. This has been implicated as the risk factor for the developmental and growth in a particular age group. The review includes the pathophysiology, cause, clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Methodology: The peer-reviewed article has been taken onto the account for the formation of a literature review. Most portals on the cyberspace are searched for the review, these may include PubMed, Google Scholar and NCBI. Scientific reaches that have been published in English has been considered. With initial 55 paper, 25 were considered after analysis as per the inclusion and exclusion criterion. Result and Discussion: The result of the studies conducted revealed that adolescent girls are prone to develop iron deficiency anaemia more than 20 per cent and tend to face the ill effect of it in the form of mental or physical development. Conclusion: We have found that preventive measures if taken at the required time may reduce the morbidity burden of anaemia in these risk groups. Healthcare professionals should especially focus on the requirement of the early diagnosis and intervention with proper prophylaxis.

In our country, Medical Stores employing on online based mode, which include orders and delivery, searching and finding the medicines at our finger tips. But in most of the cases finding nearby medical shops is difficult for the customers in particular locality and availability of medicines at particular stores are unpredictable. Only through Google maps, everybody in just using search mode which cannot meet the demands of an average customers. To minimize the time and transport �MediTrans� idea came out to develop an android mobile application. Unlike all applications, �MediTrans� provides the platform to the customers to view and find, put request, enquire as well as to integrate their services for the recognized registered Medical shops/owners and Doctors. The main purpose of developing this �MediTrans� application is to remove the barrier between all registered medical shops to the customers and can put request to the respective medical owners availed at particular shops in nearest places. Ultimate goal of this application is street medical shops, doctors should get benefited and patients should get the knowledge of medicines. It is easy to consult Doctors at particular locations and can check the services they provide. Pharmacists can supply and manage the store items for the customers by understanding the demands of certain medicines depending on the rate of seasonal outbreaks thereby reducing the risk of disease spread. Patients can know the use of each medicine.

 Abstract

Neurological involvement is frequent in leukemia but is rarely the inaugural event. We report the case of a 15-year-old boy whose acute lymphoblastic leukemia was revealed by fatal cerebral hemorrhage associated with sepsis secondary to lung infection. Intracerebral hemorrhage remains a cause of death in hematologic malignancies. The patient presented with thrombocytopenia (24,000/mm3), leucostasis and hypofibrinogemia (1.10 g/L). Despite maximal medical and surgical treatment (platelets and fresh-frozen plasma transfusions, red blood cells transfusion, and craniotomy discharge), the patient died. The risk of death is high, and surgical treatment has not proven superior to medical therapy in terms of mortality rates and 6-month survival. Further studies are needed to define consensus guidelines for coagulation disorders induced by ALL and also to define the specific management in cases of ICH in childhood hematological malignancies.

 Abstract

Energy is essential and vital for development and global economic growth. The use of fossil fuels for energy needs is highly discouraged due to its depleting nature and also for its contribution for greenhouse gases emission to the environment. So there is a need to ?nd out an alternative fuel to ful?ll the energy demand of the world. Biodiesel is one of the best available sources to ful?ll the energy demand of the world. Renewable and carbon neutral biodiesel are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Biodiesel for agro products is one such fuel source, which is viable and expanding as an alternate source for fossil fuels.A vast majority of the scientists reported that short-term engine tests using vegetable oils as fuels were very promising but the long-term test results showed higher carbon built up and lubricating oil contamination is resulting in engine failure. They concluded that vegetable oils, either chemically altered or blended with diesel to prevent the engine failures. In 2001, a 6-megawatt backup power system that is entirely fuelled by biodiesel installed at the UC Riverside.
