Different models for the Hard Sphere equation of states have been utilized to compute the two thermodynamic properties, isothermal compressibility (βT) and the thermal expansion coefficient (αP) . The pure liquids used for investigation are n-hexane, n-heptane, n- dodecane, cyclohexane and toluene. Both the properties have been calculated at varying temperatures (293.15K to 333.15K). The obtained values of isothermal compressibility and thermal expansion coefficient have been compared with the experimentally evaluated values. The results of the calculation are observed to be in satisfactory agreement with experimental findings collected from literature.

Tourism worldwide, services as an important employment generator, source of foreign exchange and economic growth. Richly endowed with unique culture, heritage, lively markets, traditional hospitality, India has the tourism product in abundance. The need is to serve it in an attractive manner to the consumer. Tourism industry in any country flourishes on the basis of competitiveness of facilities like infrastructure, accommodation, transport and recreation and that is where the role of various stake holders right from central and state governments to entrepreneurs and society as a whole comes into play. There are many tourism products are attracting the particular tourists to various available resources. The United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), the lion organisation in tourism and travel in the world addressed once new growing tourism products. Medical tourism is new growing types of tourism is attracting many health based tourists. The Indian healthcare market is Rs. 15 billion and growing at over 30% every year. Indian private hospitals are increasingly finding a mention in the travel itineraries of foreigners, with the trend of medical tourism catching up in the country.

The carbapenem resistance is gradually increasing particularly among Enterobacteriales isolated from patients admitted to the ICUs. Therefore a simple, convenient and accurate method for early detection of resistant isolates is essential to curtail rapid dissemination among the patients. The present study aimed to perform the newer single step carbapenem inactivation method (ssCIM) for the detection of carbapenemase production in carbepenem resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae and compared with modified CIM (mCIM) and polymerase chain reaction. The ssCIM test was performed according to Jing et al. The mCIM was performed according to CLSI- 2021 guidelines. A total of 160 carbapenem resistant E.coli and K.pneumoniae were tested for carbapenemase production by ssCIM and mCIM. The MIC of imipenem ranges between 4 mg/L and16 mg/L. Out of 160 CREK 86 were E.coli and 74 were K.pneumoniae. Among E.coli 84/86 (97%) and 69/74(93%) K.pneumoniae isolates tested positive for carbapenemase production by mCIM and ssCIM. In total 153/160(95.6%) CREK isolates were positive by phenotypic tests. A total of 152/160 (95%)isolates were positive for the presence of carpenemase genes. The results of ssCIM are in concordance with mCIM including one false positive result. The overall sensitivity and specificity of ssCIM with PCR was 100% and 87.5% respectively. The ssCIM is a less laborious, more convenient, and reliable method for detection of carbapenamase production among carbapenem resistant bacteria.

Globally, principals of schools play a very important role in enhancing students’ academic achievement. However, in the process of doing this, studies have shown that, principals are faced with a number of challenges resulting in poor performance of students. For instance public secondary schools in Ndhiwa Sub County had not been performing well academically as shown by Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination results between the years 2013 and 2018, compared to the neighboring Sub Counties within Homa Bay County. Average Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination mean scores was 4.7 when compared to other Sub-counties, which were higher; Homa-Bay: 6.0; Suba: 5.0 Rachuonyo North: 5.1; Rachuonyo South: 5.2; Mbita: 5.3. Hitherto the government policy based challenges principals faced relating to their areas of operations were unknown in Ndhiwa Sub County. The objective of the study was therefore to establish government policy based challenges faced by principals in enhancing students’ academic achievement in public secondary schools in Ndhiwa Sub County. Grounded theory was used to guide the study. A conceptual framework based on concept that challenges faced by principals (Independent Variables), must be overcome in order to enhance student academic achievement (Dependent Variables) was used. The study established that Government policy posed a big challenge with an overall mean rating of 3.21. The study recommended that government policy based challenges should be dealt with effectively by the principals and other stakeholders mainly the government in order to enhance student’s academic achievement in schools.

A 9 year old girl reported with Pre-shedding mobility in 84 85. The treatment included the extraction of 84 85 followed by the placement of a Reverse Distal Shoe Space Maintainer for guiding the eruption of the right second premolar in position. 9 months follow up was done which revealed the proper eruption position of the second premolar.

L’objectif de la recherche est d’identifier d’une part la trajectoire de la délinquance chez des adolescentes à Abidjan, et d’autre part, les types de violence et les motifs les y ayant conduites. Une enquête par entrevue a été menée auprès de 55 jeunes filles de 12 à 18 ans. L’analyse qualitative et quantitative révèle un entrelacement de plusieurs facteurs de risque exposant les jeunes filles enquêtées au passage à l’acte délinquantiel à savoir :la précarité économique des parents, l’absence de contrôle parental, l’appartenance à un groupe de pairs deviants. Les deviances manifestées sont essentiellement le vol, les agressions, les bagarres. Aussi, l’implication dans un groupe de pairs violents permet d’apprécier non seulement des conduites déviantes particulières mais aussi polymorphes.

With the world going through the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, the catastrophic effects of the Pandemic on the lives and livelihoods of people are not only disturbing but also devastating. Due to COVID-19, the development and progress of several years and decades have been stalled or have been put in the backseat. In 2021, as the global economy started to rebound, the global output expanded by 5.5%. The United Nations Agenda 2030 with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provides the blueprint that all United Nations (UN) member states have pledged to fulfil. The achievement of this agenda crucially depends on whether humankind will be able to maximize synergies and resolve existing trade-offs between the SDGs. The analysis of future interactions for projected SDG trends until 2030 within and between goals have been analysed by numerous scholars which show how trade-offs and synergies have evolved in the recent past globally. The best practices of turning trade-offs into synergies would require an actionable learning process in the requisite SDGs areas so as to expand the lessons onto other goals with persistent trade-offs. Several researches have shown that for various SDGs interactions, the synergies are diminishing and trade-offs as well as non-associations are increasing. The analysis of the SDGs as a social imaginary have highlighted on the conflict between global and local, between rhetoric and practice, between pragmatism and aspirations, between targets and meaning, between top-down policy discourses and bottom-up initiatives. This paper highlights few significant implications for managers and policymakers alike. The sustainability reporting by leading firms show that they may be making some progress toward the achievement of some of the SDGs. Several researches have shown that many firms are not only narrowly resorting to “cherry-picking” in their reporting, but also they are not engaging with all the SDGs in a systematic manner. There may be some organizational limits that make rigorously designing, implementing, and reporting change across all 17 SDGs difficult to achieve. The necessity for sparking, supporting, and scaling creative collaboration between various entities would go a long way to achieve the 17 SDGs of the UN. To recover from the adverse effects of the pandemic and achieve the Agenda 2030 targets of the UN, there is a need not only for a multi-faceted approach but also for adoption of multi-pronged strategies by various countries. More specifically, concrete and coordinated action is the need of the hour. There is an urgent requirement for mapping of critical pathways to success based on sound research so as to have a whole new set of policies and interventions which are aimed at rendering the achievement of Agenda 2030 of the UN in letter and spirit.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the determinant factors of entrepreneurial intentions of graduating students at Hawassa University and the mediating role of entrepreneurship education. The population for the study was 905 Technology undergraduate students of Hawassa University. The study proposes a research framework of the theory of planned behavior by Ajzen's (1991) to analyze factors influencing entrepreneurial intent among university students. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. The sample consists of 272 Institute of Technology students who have taken the entrepreneurship course. The students were surveyed by direct contact using questionnaire and a valid questionnaire of 223 students were collected. They were asked to indicate the entrepreneurship learning experiences activities they were participating in/would participate in as part of their curriculum. Data collected were analyzed using PLS-SEM analysis was employed with the help of Smart PLS3.0 software. Results of PLS-SEM showed that all the hypothesized direct and indirect relationships were supported except that entrepreneurial education fails to mediate the relationship between PBC and EI thereby rejecting H7. The findings show that the more entrepreneurial activities students are engaged in, the less the influence of entrepreneurial factors on their entrepreneurial intentions and this significantly increased entrepreneurial intentions of students who prefer career choice as an entrepreneur. It was recommended that Technology undergraduate students should see career options with a balanced view in order to understand their abilities before deciding to venture in any type of business enterprise.

Breast feeding is regarded as the first immunisation of child. It should begin immediately after birth. It provides nutritional, immunological, behavioural, and economic benefits. Although breastfeeding is commonly practiced in India, less children are given breastfeeding within one hour of birth. Despite increased awareness on exclusive breastfeeding the prevalence and duration are still at a low level. The primary objective of the study was to assess infant feeding practices among mothers of Muslim community, the specific objective was to (a) measure proportion of mothers-initiated breastfeeding within first hour of birth of the baby with respect to mothers’ age group, education level, place of delivery and family income and reasons for delay thereof, (b) measure proportion of mothers conducted pre lacteal feed and (c) proportion of mothers-initiated colostrum breastfeeding. A cross-sectional study with the help of self-administered questionnaire on feeding practices was conducted among 540 Muslim mothers having children up to 1 year of age across 6 Muslim dominated areas of Kolkata during the period 1st Nov.2017 to 31st Dec.2018. The study showed that though all children were breastfed (100%), breastfeeding within first hour of birth was given by only 24.81% of mothers which is quite alarming. Among early initiators of breastfeeding, under various categories majority i.e 43.33% consists of mothers in the age of 15-19 years, 48.48% among illiterates, 38.89% among home deliveries and 39.13% among family having income of

The major concern is to convert Plastic into energy by different methods. The present article reviews the challenges and future opportunities in waste management.

Children were out of school and confined to their home since the prolonged school closure was announced in March 2020. While there is some research on the psychological impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) on patients and health-care workers, not much is known about the psychological effects on ordinary people, especially children.19 As the pandemic caused huge financial and personal losses to many families, it is important to support children facing bereavement and issues related to parental unemployment or loss of household income. There is also a need to monitor children’s mental health during these stressful times and to study how prolonged school closures, strict social distancing measures, and the reopening of schools after so long has affected the psychological wellbeing of children. In view of the above, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychological effects of prolonged school closure and reopening after so long. The study has shown that there is an increase in behavioural and emotional problems of children due to COVID-19 related prolonged school closure and reopening thereafter.

The system also has an alarm system to notify the doctor of the abnormality in the patient vital signs measurements. This device deserves to be known and applicable because of its low cost and its ability to provides easy reached information of patient for easy health care.

Dhanvantari Nighantu is one of the oldest Ayurvedic lexicon placed between 8th -10th AD. The original name of this lexicon is Drvayavali Samucchaya. This lexicon has seven Vargas(Groups) viz; Guduchadi Varga, Shatapushpadi Varga, Chandanadi Varga, Karaviradi Varga, Amradi Varga, Suvarnadi Varga, and Mishrakadi Varga, and the total numbers of drugs are 527. The materia medica of the drugs can be grouped on the basis of Rasa, Guna, Virya, Vipaka, and Prabhava. The lexicon starts with salutation to Lord Dhanvantari. The peculiar of this lexicon is the Varga(Group) starts with the name of the first drug e.g, Guduchi as Guduchadi Varga. Acharya Hemadri the commentator of Astangahridaya (One of the great triad text) mentioned this Nighantu(Lexicon) in the name of Dravyavali. The Dravyavali contains only the synonyms of the drugs; later on the properties of the drugs were added in this book. Therefore the Dhanvantari Nighantu is the compiled book. The author of this book is still unknown, but it is claimed that Mahendra Bhogika, son of Krishna Bhogika of Sthaneshwara now a days is called as Thane of Maharasthra India. Ksheeraswami the commentator of the Amarakosha has quoted the Dhanwantari Nighantu. The date of Ksheeraswami is 11th century AD. Hence the Dhanwantari Nighantu can be placed in 10th century AD. The present review work highlight only the medicinal plants and tried to resolve the controversial aspects with their exact botanical sources.

Fresh fish is very perishable product & is spoiled due to microbial activity as the microorganisms grow they utilize the nutrients and bring about various chemical reaction one of the reason for spoilage is its high protein content many microorganisms can bring its spoilage including aerobic & anaerobic microorganisms in the present study an attempt was made to analyse fish for different aerobic & anaerobic microorganisms it was found all the different types of microorganisms like salmonell spp and vibreo were present in exceeding counts.

Having noted the lack of adequate documentation on road earthworks, linked to the lack of national standards in Senegal that define the conditions of realization, the object of this document is to propose a method for the proper execution of earthworks and the layers form. To this end, a study was conducted on the soils of one of the 14 regions of Senegal, namely the region of Thiès, one of the second cities of the country which is 87 km from the Senegalese capital Dakar. Two roads of 2.5 km long were selected to make manuals sampling of these platform soils in Thiès, the first axis in the municipality of Montrolland located 12 km north of the study area and the second in the rural municipality of Khombole which is 8 km east of the study area.

The present investigation entitled Effect of application of Metabolis Gold on growth and yield of rice cv. GR11 was carried out during the kharif season 2021 on the field of ASPEE, Agricultural Research and Development Foundation, Tansa Farm, At- Nare, Taluka- Wada, Dist- Palghar, Maharashtra, India. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The five treatments (Control, Metabolis Gold @ 0.5 gm, 1.0 gm 2.0 gm, and 3.0 gm / litre water) were replicated four times. The plant height (cm), number of tillers / plant, number of panicles/ plant, number of panicles/ square meter and length of panicle (cm) were found maximum with the application of Metabolis Gold @ 3.0 gm /liter water. The highest number of seeds/ panicle, test weight (gm), grain yield (q/ha) and straw yield (q/ha)were found with the application of Metabolis Gold @ 3.0 gm / litrewater. While, the lowest number of seeds / panicle, test weight, grain yield, and straw yield was found in the control treatment. The data clearly indicated that the yield obtained with treatment T5 (Metabolis Gold @ 3.0 gm / litrewater) was significantly higher than all other treatments, and also for growth parameters.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit – first in China in December 2019, then spreading rapidly to other countries in the early months of 2020 –the health care systems and economies of nations across the world were quickly overcome. The COVID-19 pandemic has created the largest disruption of education systems in human history, affecting nearly 1.6 billion learners in more than 200 countries. Closures of schools, institutions and other learning spaces have impacted more than 94% of the world’s student population. Social distancing and restrictive movement policies have significantly disturbed traditional educational practices. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to pave the way for introducing digital learning. These concern areas were varied for artists in different fields. For example, architects and dancers were more likely to be affected by loss of studio space, while filmmakers were more likely to suffer from lack of access to international markets and festivals. Dancers were also more likely than other artists to report being significantly or critically affected financially (87.5%, compared to 47% for visual artists). All activities have changed from daily routines to art exhibitions. Art exhibitions are a series of activities, the endpoint of the art process. Art-making is an activity that can still be carried out when social restrictions are imposed since it is an individual activity at the studio, usually at home studio. At every career level (emerging, mid-career, established), about 30% of artists said they are concerned about the ongoing personal financial implications of COVID-19.
