Medicinal plants are most valuable source of different natural compounds and safer than the chemicals that directly used for the treatment of high risk diseases. The compounds that present in the medicinal plants are monoterpenes, flavonoids, and phenolics. The ultimate goal of the using of medicinal herbs are inhibiting the growth of the infectious particles that causing variety of diseases. Medicinal plants have been used in order to control the growth of infectious bacteria in as some of them deviling the resistance due to changing endearments for example, Enterococcus faecium and Klebsiella pneumonia. Many of the plant extracts such as N.sativa seeds have been used as natural booster for targeting the lethal pathogens and causing the cellular toxicities While, Commelina africana L and Elephantorrhiza elephantine that binds with living cells by damaging’s the membranes of the toxic pathogens. The production of the free radicals due to stress or any environmental conditions may increase the risk of damage to DNA molecules. These free radicals binds to the double binds of the DNA molecule inhibit their functions in order to replicate for further central dogma processing. It give rise the production of peroxyl radicals species due to consecutive attack to the DNA molecule.

Anatomical illustrations have gradual changed since their inception. The pioneers of the field have initially used pencil drawings, followed by line illustrations, colored illustrations, two dimensional and three-dimensional illustrations, and it grew up to virtual reality. Recent studies have observed their benefit in teaching anatomy, especially for providing spatial orientation of various structures and complex topics such as middle ear, pterygopalatine fossa, where dissection cannot offer much comprehension. Drawing software such as Illustrator and Photoshop have revolutionized the image quality in anatomy textbooks. Adobe Illustrator comprises many useful tools to draw anatomical diagrams such as pen tool, pencil tool, paint brush tool, text tool. It has various paper sizes to choose and different formats of files to create vector-based images. The drawing hardware such as Wacom Cintiq, Apple iPad Pro with pencil enhances the experience with drawing software.

The Research Paper ‘Constitutional and Judicial Approaches to Environmental Challenges’, takes us through the role of the Legal and Judicial System, in the protection of the Environment, and in the wider campaign against Environmental Degradation. The importance of Environmental Sustainability cannot be over-emphasized as a destroyed environment may also mean the end of the human race and even plants and animals. The paper looks at both the Nigerian perspective, as well as the global outlook. It looks at the Human Rights angle, which submits that destruction of the environment by industrial, corporate and government institutions, may be an offence against the Law since it infringes on the right of the ordinary citizen to live a healthy life in harmony with nature. In other words, since these human institutions have been responsible for the extinction of many animal species, they shouldn’t be allowed to extend their destruction to include the reduction of the quality of human life or even wiping out the human race. The paper looks into the extent to which the judicial system could help protect the common man from the forces of Environmental Degradation.

We first investigate the general properties of the system and identify all possible wave combinations. Second, a critical investigation of the Riemann problem yields definite results for large data about the existence of Riemann solutions made of Lax shocks, rarefaction waves, and admissible stationary contacts. In some range of Riemann data, no solution exists. We can identify relatively large neighborhoods of Riemann data in which the Riemann problem admits a unique solution.

In this research, Al2O3 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using facile chemical precipitation method as a photocatalyst. The synthesized photo catalyst was characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the synthesized Al2O3was studied on the degradation of ciprofloxacin as a model pollutant in UV light irradiation by conductometry method. The experiments were carried out by varying contact time from 1- 5 hours and catalyst load from 0.5 – 2.5g. The optimum catalyst dose and contact time were found to be 1g and 1 hour respectively for the drug degradation. The result exhibited photocatalysis activity. The photocatalytic activity can be attributed to higher absorption of Ultra-Violet light by the synthesized Al2O3 that led to formation of a large number of reactive species. The Kinetics study of the photodegradation process was explained in terms of the modified Langmuir Hinshelwood model. The values of the kinetic rate constant (k) of the photodegradation were 8.0x10-3min-1 and 5.0x10-2min-1in the absence and presence of the synthesized photocatalyst respectively.

Background: Rigid bronchoscopy is frequently required in the therapeutic therapy of a wide range of tracheobronchial diseases. Suxamethonium is a common neuromuscular blocking medication used for rapid sequence tracheal intubation because of its quick onset and recovery. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of single vs multiple doses of Suxamethonium in rigid bronchoscopy. Methodology: This randomized cross-sectional observational study was conducted from January 2019 to December 2020 among 180 patients in a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh. Data on certain basic parameters were obtained on the basis of the clinical records and related changes. Collected data were displayed in tabular and graphical form in terms of different parameters, and statistical analysis was conducted to observe the statistical significance. Results: In this study, we divided patients into 2 groups (Group 1: Single dose Suxamethonium, Group 2: multiple-dose Suxamethonium). Among 180 patients, a maximum (34.4%) patients were more than 50 years of age. Also, 58% were male, and 42% were female patients. Here, maximum patients (33.8%) had a cough, while minimum patients (2.7%) had chest pain. Among group 1, maximum patients (39.1%) had mild fasciculation scores and minimum patients (7.4%) had zero scores. Among group 2 patients, maximum patients (24.3%) had zero fasciculation score, and minimum patients (6.3%) had vigorous scores. According to the Copenhagen scoring system, in group 1, 47.40% of patients had an excellent outcome, and 6.65% of patients had a poor outcome. And in group 2, 74.7% of patients had a good outcome and 13.50% of patients had an excellent outcome. In both groups, maximum patients had minor bleeding, vocal cord trauma, and hypoxia. Conclusion: The findings imply that single-dose Suxamethonium was more effective in improving patient satisfaction. The intubating settings would be more pleasant if single-dose Suxamethonium was used.

Vocational programmes are frequently neglected, and they certainly do not guarantee access to employment and better living conditions. Thus high-quality curriculum and its delivery should always remain part of the story. This begs the question as to what is the effect of critical success factors on curricullum delivery process in TVET institutions. In this regard the study was designed to; To find out the correlation between critical success factors and curricullum delivery process in selected ISO certified public TVET institutions in North Rift Region, Kenya, To access the effect of Institutional Culture on curricullum delivery process in selected ISO certified public TVET institutions in North Rift Region, Kenya, asses the moderating role of institutional culture on the effect of critical success factors on curricullum delivery process in in selected ISO certified public TVET institutions in North Rift Region, Kenya. The study adopted an explanatory research design targeting 735 respondents comprising of Deputy HoDs, ISO champion/HoDs trainers from ISO 9001: 2015 certified TVET institutions in the North-Rift region. This study employed stratified random sampling, proportionate, simple random sampling techniques to select the respondents to be included in the sample. Kerjcie and Morgan (1970) formulae for determining the sample size he sample of the trainers was 252 as obtained using Krejcie and Morgan (1970). The study used questionnaires for data collection. Data was analysed by use of inferential statistics. using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version 25. From the findings critical success factors such as ISO training and communication are significantly correlated with curriculum delivery with the correlation coefficient ranging of r = .789** and r=.767** significantly. 15.4% percent changes in curriculum delivery in in selected public ISO certified TVET institutions in North Rift region, Kenya could be accounted to institutional culture. With institutional culture moderator, the variables jointly explained 68.6 percent (R2= 0.686) variation in sustenance of curriculum delivery process. There fore the TVET institutions should set instructional cultures which engenders high educational goals and high human values for synergistic effect of employee critical factors and sustenance of curricullum delivery process. The institutional culture must nuture the uptake of ISO training and dissemination of information geared towards curricullum delivery.
