Background: Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are effective clinical evaluation method. In nursing education OSCEs have been used in a limited way with few reports at the graduate level. Objective: This paper is a review of the literature presenting the advantages and disadvantages of using OSCEs in advanced nursing education. Method: Nine studies from advanced practice education and eight studies in undergraduate education were reviewed for advantages and disadvantaged of OSCEs/SPs. Results: OSCEs are objective, valid, reliable and offer opportunities for students to practice wide range of clinical skills. However, OSCEs are expensive and constitute a source of anxiety among students. Nevertheless, students valued the OSCE experience and educators confirmed that its benefits outweigh its cost. Conclusion: The advantages of the OSCEs are greatly supported in the literature. However, OSCEs are better used in addition to, not to replace, the currently used methods.

Background: The burden of living with pediatric end-stage renal disease (ESRD) impacts quality of life (QOL), a concept that has been commonly associated with adherence, morbidity, and health outcomes. There are many definitions for QOL but they rarely take the pediatric perspective into consideration and they may not apply perfectly to Muslim and Arabic societies. Objectives: The aim of this paper is to clarify the concept of QOL and identify the conceptualizations behind it and to provide some insights to QOL research in children and in the Arab world. Results: The defining attributes of QOL include the level of satisfaction, the individual perception of well-being, and the life domains. QOL is defined as a subjective evaluation of satisfaction of well-being across life domains based on individual perception of life in the context of culture, values, and beliefs. The antecedents of QOL include cognitive capacity, basic functioning ability, and life events. The consequences of QOL include happiness and goals accomplishment. QOL is measured using generic and disease specific measures which ask individuals to rate their satisfaction with life domains such as physical, emotional, social, and vocational. In children, QOL measures consider developmental changes, cognitive abilities, and parent-proxy reports. In the Arab world, QOL is rarely defined or measured from an Arabic and Islamic perspective. Conclusion: All attempts must be made to address QOL from a cultural, linguistic, and developmental standpoint that can reflect the complex nature of QOL in the pediatric population.

Background: Termination of the mandibular canal is called the mental foramen. During surgical procedures and during anaesthesia in the mandibular region, identification of the correct position of mental foramen is important to prevent any trauma to vessels and nerve. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 100 digital panoramic radiographs. These radiographs were collected from the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Government Dental College, Srinagar. The position of mental foramen was recorded by Anshumen et al., Results: It was observed that in 42% right and 41%left sides of individuals mental foramen was in line with second premolar. Between first and second premolars, 26% right and 31% left sides. Between second premolar and first molar 20% right and 17% left sides. Mental foramen in line with mesio buccal root of first molar 8% right and 6% left sides.4% right and 5% left sides in line with first premolar and none was seen anterior to first premolar. Conclusion: The knowledge of the position of the mental foramen is very important for surgeries. Careful identification of mental foramen can help in giving successful anaesthesia to the patient.

The present quantitative survey study comprising primary source of data conducted in southern state of India during the first wave and first quarter of COVID-19 pandemic to investigate the Teacher Educators’ and Prospective Teachers’ presuppositions, beliefs, and emotions on the sudden switch on to the online mode of teaching. During the precautionary lockdown, everything came to a halt and the education sector was not an exception and could not be separated. It looked initially the teachers themselves appeared apprehensive about the platforms and techniques of online teaching. It was the biggest challenge for the teachers to convince themselves first and get on to the job. The sole idea was not only to compare the two different ways of teaching (online and face to face) but also to investigate the lessons learnt by Teacher Educators and Teacher Trainees in this regard and its implications to higher education pedagogy along with the administrative and tech-savvy skills.An Opinionnaire comprising two sets each for prospective teachers and teacher educators were designed and data collected through online from 144 Prospective Teachers and Teacher Educators based on emotions, their motives for participation in the academic vis-a-vis curricular programs and the support system provided by the Management in Teaching-Learning Processes.The analysis indicated that the virtual mode successfully helped all teacher educators and prospective teachers to improve upon and transform online teaching into interactive TLP and expected learning outcome-based teaching through various online platforms during COVID-19 pandemic.

The pulses such as chickpeas or garbanzo beans, lentils and the dry peas, are progressively being documented for their major role in health promotion. Chickpea is reflected as a unique due to the presence of higher level of protein (40%) in it. The drought stress is the major cause of reduction of growth of plants by disturbing the molecular, physiological and the biochemical processes like ion uptake, respiration, signaling pathways, photosynthesis, and induction of hormones, nitrogen assimilation, carbohydrates and the amino acids metabolisms. Nonstop decrease in the productivity of chickpea is indorsed to inadequate genetic variations and the different stresses. Chickpeas comprise a soluble fiber called raffinose, a kind of oligo-saccharide which is fermented in colon through the useful bacteria called the Bifidobacterium. There are some earliest investigations which demonstrate that the individuals eating chickpeas can lesser their danger for diabetes. Chickpeas also play a vital role in the diet of those people who are effected by osteoporosis for its prevention. The protein ratio to starch can be adjusted to target definite textural characteristics of textured pea-protein to closely mimic the various products of meat such as chicken, beef and fish. . Not only do chickpeas produce a valued crop but at the same time they also are responsible for a natural organic technique of breaking disease cycle in barley and wheat crops.

Back ground: Growing teratoma syndrome is a rare entity characterized by growing tumor mass in different locations (like retroperitoneum, abdomen, pelvis, liver, chest, bone, or lymph nodes) in patients with non-seminomatous germ cell tumors of ovary or testis, during or after chemotherapy. Tumor markers will be normal. Histopathological examination confirms the diagnosis. Case report: We report a case of 29 years old male presenting with slow growing retroperitoneal mass after complete treatment for non-seminomatous germ cell tumor of testis. Conclusion: Growing teratoma syndrome occurs in patients with non-seminomatous germ cell tumors and have serum tumor markers with in normal limits. Early diagnosis of this condition helps for complete curative resection of the tumor for better prognosis.

Anthrax is a zoonotic disease that is associated with herbivores and other domestic animals including humans. The causative agent of this disease is bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It is Gram positive, non-motile, anaerobic, spore forming bacterium living in soil. It can transmit in animals by entering spores in their bodies through skin, lungs and gastrointestinal tract. This can be passed into humans by improper handling and contact with infected animals. Symptoms of this disease are different in animals and humans according to the type of anthrax. It is diagnosed by different methods including differential and laboratory methods (PCR). It can be treated by vaccination and therapies that are described. Gastrointestinal anthrax occurs only after eating infected, undercooked meat. This review helpful to understand the anthrax disease, diagnosis and possible treatment.

Background: Transverse vaginal septum is a congenital mullerian malformation resulting from failure of fusion or canalization of the urogenital sinus and the mullerian ducts. This results in amenorrhoea, inability to consummate marriage and primary infertility if left untreated. It is a rare finding in pregnancy and labor. Objectives: The objective of this study was to review the management and outcome of patients with transverse vaginal septum. Materials and Method: It was a retrospective study where data from medical records of all cases of transverse vaginal septum managed over a10-year period (January 2008 to December 2017) were collected and reviewed. There were 18 patients managed over the period of study, however 16 case folders were retrieved and 2 were missing. Results: The patients’ ages ranged between 16 and 40 years, with a mean (+SD) age of 23.3(+7.7) years. They had varying presenting symptoms including lower abdominal pain in 15(93.7%), lower abdominal swelling in 8(53.3%), dyspareunia in 9(56.2%), primary amenorrhoea in 12(75%) and failure of coital penetration in 9 (56.2%) patients. The septum was imperforate in 12(75.0%) and perforate in 4 (25.0%) patients. The septum was located in the lower third of the vagina in 13 (78.6%) patients and at mid and upper portions in 1(7.1%) and 2(14.3%) patients respectively. Some of the patients (31.2%) had previous surgery prior to presentation. Fourteen (87.5%) were managed via perineal approach and 2(12.5%) via abdominoperineal route. Most patients, (68.8%) did not develop any complication, however 4(25%) had re-obstruction and only 1(6.2%) had vaginal stenosis. Conclusion: Transverse vaginal septum is a rare anomaly of the female genital tract. The most common symptom was lower abdominal pain and the predominant type was the low type. The main treatment modality was surgical with significant success.

This research aims to analyze the effect of market timing ability and stock selection skills on the performance of stock mutual funds during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Trenor Mazuy Unconditional Model and Trenor Mazuy Conditional Model are used to calculate market timing ability and stock selection skill, considering the account macroeconomic variables named inflation and the rupiah exchange rate. The type of this research is a quantitative descriptive study with a sample of 55 stock mutual funds with assets above IDR 500 billion. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regressions using STATA 16 analysis tool. The result shows that market timing ability and stock selection skill unconditional model have a significant effect on the performance of stock mutual funds. The calculation of the unconditional model produces a positive value. Investment managers of equity mutual funds in Indonesia do not yet have good market timing skills, while the ability to choose stocks is better. The conditional model shows insignificant results on the performance of equity mutual funds. The market timing conditional model produces a positive number, while the ability to choose the stock produces a negative number. This shows that when considering the economic conditions of a country, the performance ability of investment managers in market timing will increase, while the ability of stock selection will reduce the performance of a stock mutual fund. The level of volatility during the pandemic creates uncertainty so that macroeconomic variables as control variables need to be considered in making investment decisions.

There are different ingredients employed in right composition for fish foods that can be processed through sequential analysis of proteins, lipids, carbohydrate and other minerals based compounds. Fish wastes have become a major problem in the modern era due to accumulation of toxic compounds that released through animal wastes. There are different methods to store the fish foods for long periods of time. Contaminated foods leads to death of many fishes due to excess level of heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic and other environmental pollutants that causes degradation of fish’s internal parts. Beef also in crushed form also used a source of foods in many fish populations. Freezing of the foods is better option options as compared to the strategies for food storage as it maintain the internal pH and temperature of the nutrients by supplying them regulate heat flow in order to spillage of foods. This review focus on the foods used for fishes and animals inhabit in watery environments, source, nutritional value and biochemical aspects on the fish health’s. Phytoplanktons are used as ideal source of foods for most varieties of fishes because they are composed of proteins, lipids, minerals and also other useful nutritional value.

Background: A memory mostly depends on the attention and emotional environment of a child. Memory also indicates effective retrieval of experiences of the past. The power of memorization varies from person to person. The aim of the study was to assess the long term memory and problem related to memory of school going children of age group of 6-8 years in selected school. Materials and Methods: Mixed method (Convergent parallel design) research design was used in the study. An evaluative and phenomenological approach was used in the study. Memory Package designed introduced for the school going children. The study sample consisted of 80 children and their parents in a selected school. Total 6 days intervention program was planned for the children, hence the delayed post -test was conducted before giving memory package and post –test done after 6 day. Result revealed that the Memory Package helped children to improve long-term memory. In pre-test 53 children had inadequate, 26 children had moderate and 1 child had adequate memory post-test showed memory package helped to improve long term memory . It 55 children had moderate long term and 30 children is had adequate long term memory. The pre -test, post -test difference highest in the area of “one minute attention span test” and lowest in the area of “sound test” and highest SD difference in the area of “problem solving puzzles “and lowest in “mental sums”. Partially quantitative data was collected by parent’s dialogue and it showed that memory package is helped to improve long term memory children. Results: Short term memory was converted to long term memory for the children by information processing. If parents are involving and concerned about this memory training will show better performance memory in children. Conclusion: Memory package is help to improve the long term memory of school going children.
