Increasing the role of information and communication aspects of interaction between government and society in the era
of transformation of social relations, the transition to an information society. Information is increasingly serving as a base
value, a “strategic resource,” as well as a system-forming and regulating factor in the socio-political reality. At the same
time, domestic power structures continue to incur administrative resources without drastically changing the patterns of
communicative interaction, without developing to the necessary degree various forms of direct and feedback with the
public.

Dengue virus is the most important mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Co-circulation of the four types of dengue viruses and expansion of dengue epidemic give rise to infection enhancement and a big expansion of clinical aspects of the disease. Infection with dengue virus (DENV) causes diseases ranging widely in severity, from self-limited dengue fever to life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome. But atypical manifestations of dengue fever are rising day by day but they may be under reported. Here in we report a case of 6 years old girl presented with sudden onset of abdominal pain and was diagnosed as classical dengue with ascites and pleural effusion. Pleural effusion and ascites are evidence of plasma leakage which appear in patients of Dengue hemorrhagic fever but not present in Classical Dengue or Dengue fever. Classical Dengue is a common disease in Bangladesh but there have been no reports of Dengue fever or Classical Dengue in association with pleural effusion and ascites.

Dry eye is defined as the disorder of the tear film either due to tear deficiency or excessive evaporation which causes damage to the inter-palpebral ocular surface which comprises of the entire epithelial surface of the cornea, limbus and conjunctiva. Dry eye disease (DED) affects 4.3-16% of adults approximately. There are various etiological factors associated with dry eye disease and diabetes mellitus is one of them. A case control study of 100 diabetic and 100 non diabetic patients was conducted at a tertiary care eye hospital to see the correlation with duration of diabetes. The mean duration of diabetes was 8.48±4.29 years. The mean fasting and post prandial blood sugar level in study group were 155.77±14.94 mg% and 263.77±51.49 mg% respectively. The difference of blood sugar level from control was statistically significant (p<0.001). The TBUT, marginal tear strip staining, fluorescein staining, rose Bengal staining were found statistically significant in study group. 35 cases had moderate dry eye in diabetic group. The comparison of both the group was statistically significant. The severity of dry eye was statistically significant in > 10 years duration of diabetes. A total of 11% patients with >10 years duration were having severe dry eye as compared to only 2% of <10 years of diabetes. The difference between the incidence of dry eye in right and left eye was insignificant.

A simple and rapid reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for determination of tolperisone concentration in human plasma was developed and validated. Using prednisolone as an internal standard (IS), 1.0 ml plasma samples were extracted with a mixture of methyl tert. butyl ether and dichloromethane (70:30, v:v). Analysis was performed using Atlantis dC18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0.05 M (mono basic) potassium phosphate (pH=3.0) and acetonitrile (70:30, v:v). The eluent was monitored spectrophotometrically at 262 nm. No interference with tolperisone or IS peaks by extracted blank plasma components or commonly used drugs was observed. The relationship of tolperisone concentration and peak area ratio of tolperisone / IS was linear (R2 ≥ 0.9961) in the range of 10 – 800 ng/ml, the intra and inter-day coefficient of variations were ≤ 4.1% and ≤5.7%, respectively with a corresponding bias of ±11.4% and ±8.4%, respectively. Mean extraction recovery of tolperisone and the IS were 95% and 83%, respectively. The method was applied to assess the stability of tolperisone under various conditions encountered in the clinical laboratory. Tolperisone stability in processed samples stored at room temperature for 24 hours or at -20 °C for 48 hours, in unprocessed samples stored for 24 hours at room temperature or for 8 weeks at -20 °C, and after 3 freeze and thaw cycles was ≥ 91%.

Comparative exergo-economic analysis of a simple and modified cycle gas turbine power plants was carried out in this
work, using a GE MS5001 gas turbine located at Trans Amadi in Rivers state, Nigeria as a case study. The simple cycle
plant was modified to have an intercooler, regenerator and a reheater with one additional compressor and one additional
turbine. Energy, exergy and exergo-economic analyses were carried out on both plants. The net output of the GE
MS5001 gas turbine is 26.90MW, and its fuel is natural gas with heating value of 50MJ/kg. The simple gas turbine cycle
has an efficiency of 30.4% while the modified gas turbine cycle has an output power and efficiency of 44.67MW and
48.0% respectively. The exergy efficiency of the simple cycle is 22.6% while that of the modified cycle is 43.0%. The
highest exergy destruction rate was in the combustion chamber in both cycles and accounted for 90% of exergy destroyed
in the simple gas turbine cycle and 43% and 36% in the combustion chamber and reheater of the modified cycle plant.
The economic analysis carried out showed that the total purchase equipment cost was higher in the simple cycle plant
because of the high pressure ratios the compressor and the turbine operate in the simple cycle compared to the modified
cycle. The cost of producing electricity for the simple gas turbine cycle was 10.18$/GJ while that for the modified gas
turbine cycle was between 7.3339$/GJ and 7.7969$/GJ. The cost of electricity from the modified cycle is thus cheaper.
All the exergo-economic parameters favour the operation of the modified cycle.

Photosynthesis or green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been shown an ecofriendly and cost effective approach with
a great significance of biomedical Applications. Plant extracts may act both as reducing agents and stabilizing agents in
the nanoparticles formation. We therefore synthesized silver nanoparticles using Syzygium cumini methanol seed extract
which is found to be most enriched in Phytonutrients, and had strong anti-glycoxidative potential. In this chapter, the
Characterization of silver nanoparticles of S.cumini (ScSNPs) methanol seed extract was performed and their role on
glucose stressed cardiac cells was studied. Nanoparticles synthesis is based upon its size, shape, disparity and surface
area. After mixing with silver nitrate solution the colour changes from yellow to dark Brown confirming the formations
of nanoparticles. This colour change is due to the Excitation of surface plasmon vibrations. We have synthesized the
silver nanoparticles after 48 h of incubation but sometimes it takes more/less time depends upon the rateof bio-reduction
of silver ion due to the presence of reactivity of enzymes and components exist in plant extract. The silver ions bind to
the secondary metabolites inS. cumini and getting reduced. This complex of silver ion and metabolite interacts with other
complexes and contributes to the formation of silver nanoparticle, which is a critical phenomenon and affected by pH,
temperature, concentration and electrochemical gradient of silver ion. The plasmon resonance is acombined resonance of
the conducting electrons of silver nanoparticles and scatteroptical light elastically with significant efficiency our study
reveals that the polyphones and amines in S. cumini contribute to the formation of synthesis of silver nanoparticles and
might go through a two-step redox process.
