Teaching and learning of English vocabulary are the most basic parts in the whole process of English acquisition. Based on the result analysis of an extensive on-line questionnaire about the vocabulary teaching situation among some Chinese and foreign teachers, this paper points out the existing problems in college English vocabulary teaching and learning. The corresponding vocabulary learning strategies are proposed to stimulate students' interest in English vocabulary learning, enhance the flexibility of vocabulary learning and use, and thus improve the effect of English vocabulary teaching and learning.

The retro-lunar carpal dislocations are often under-diagnosed in the emergency services by the lack of knowledge of the pathology. The modalities of taking care of the lunations are still discussed; if the surgical treatment is now unanimous because it alone can limit residual carpal instability, bone necrosis or osteoarthritis. Many remedial techniques have been proposed, although controversial, the authors agree that a maximalist open-minded attitude gives the best results. Our work presents the results of a retrospective series of 12 cases of retro-lunar carpal dislocations. We will discuss the epidemiology of this condition, the different types of lesions, therapeutic modalities.

Mainly, Fibrous Dysplasia is found in children, and by adulthood it usually becomes quiescent. Our case showed Fibrous dysplasia of 9-year-old female child with port wine stain on the right side of mid face since birth. Our evaluation was that growth in childhood had achieved the progressive stage. We presented all radiographic and clinical images of this case that emphasized the diagnosis of the disease.

The study aimed to identify the impact of the Know, Want to know and Learn (KWL) strategy on the acquisition of scientific concepts in science among the third grade students in the directorate of education of Irbid. The semi-experimental method was adopted and the study sample consisted of (60) male and female students from the third grade from Irbid's schools; they were distributed into two groups: control group consisting of (15) male students and (15) female students and experimental group consisting of 15 male students and 15 female students. The results showed statistically significant differences for the variable of the group in the post-test in favor of the experimental group, whose members were taught through using the (K.W.L), statistically significant differences for the variable of gender in favor of the females and no statistically significant differences in the post-test. The researcher recommended adopting a teaching method through using the cognitive maps in teaching science due to their impact on acquiring the scientific concepts.

A simple, precise, and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method for the determination of fluoxetine level in human plasma using clomipramine as an internal standard (IS) was developed and validated. Plasma samples containing fluoxetine were spiked with the IS and extracted with hexane and iso-amyl alcohol (98:2,v:v) under alkaline condition. Extracted samples were kept at –80ºC for 10 minute then organic layers were transferred to clean tubes and dried under gentle steam of nitrogen at 40 °C. Residues were reconstituted in 200 µl of 0.05% phosphoric acid and 10 µl were injected in to the UPLC system. The compounds of interest were efficiently separated on 2.1 x 100 mm, Acuity UPLC, C18, steel column (at 30°C) and detected with a photodiode array detector set at 230 nm. The mobile phase consisted of water (pH= 2.4, adjusted with phosphoric acid) and acetonitrile (68:32, v:v) and was delivered at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/minute. No interference in blank plasma or by norfluoxetine or commonly used drugs was observed, and the detection limit of fluoxetine was 0.005 µg/ml. The relationship between fluoxetine concentration in plasma and peak height ratio of fluoxetine /IS was linear (R2 ≥ 0.985) in the range of 0.01 –1 µg/ml. Inter-day coefficient of variation and bias ≤ 13.0%, and < 9.4, respectively. Extraction recovery of fluoxetine and IS from plasma samples was ≥ 87%. Using the method, fluoxetine was found to be ≥ 85% and ≥ 89% stable in processed (24 hours at room temperature or 48 hours at -20 °C) and unprocessed (24 hours at room temperature or 23 weeks at -20 °C) samples, respectively.

Geography textbooks are an important tool for geography teachers to carry out classroom teaching. Full understanding of textbooks can help teachers flexibly choose the teaching contents and better achieve teaching goals. Taking the chapter of “Climate” as an example, this paper analyzed the textbook from four aspects: internal and external relations of knowledge structure system, requirements for curriculum standards and teaching goals, the key and difficult points and teaching hours assignment, picture and text structure of the textbook. The article also puts forward three suggestions: (1) Junior middle school geography teaching should link to real life; (2) “Activities” in the textbook should be combined with the “Text”; (3) Summarize the knowledge points in the form of tables.

Normal-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method was developed for determination of Rapamycin, Temsirolimus Regio isomer (monoester) and Temsirolimus diester in Temsirolimus drug and pharmaceutical formulations. The separation was accomplished on YMC Pack SIL (250 x 4.6 mm, particle size 5μm) column under isocratic mode. The column oven temperature was set at 35° C and Auto sampler temperature used at 5°C. The mobile phase is a mixer of n-hexane, ethanol and trifluoroacetic acid in the ratio of 90:10:0.01 and PDA detector set at 280 nm used for detection. The retention times of Rapamycin, Temsirolimus peak, Temsirolimus monoester and Temsirolimus diester peaks are 12.29, 21.24, 33.11 and 51.91 min. respectively. The method has been fully validated and is linear. Results of analysis are validated statistically and by recovery studies. During the process development of Temsirolimus, three process impurities (Rapamycin. Temsirolimus monoester and Temsirolimus diester) are detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This method offers advantages over using photodiode-array UV detection (LC-PDA) for the determination of peak purity, namely components with similar UV spectra can be distinguished, the molecular mass of the impurity can be determined, and structural data can be obtained by using LC-MS. The result of studies shows that the proposed normal phase-HPLC method is found to be precise, linear, accurate, rugged, selective, specific, and robust. Hence this method may be used for the routine analysis in bulk drug and in its pharmaceutical dosage forms.

This study sought to investigate the challenges faced in mother tongue education in selected Primary schools in Nandi County, in the Republic of Kenya. Mother tongue education is usually taken as a basic human right, but despite the importance of this education myriad of problems bedevil its execution. Challenges in mother tongue education have not only been reported in many fora in Nandi County but also elsewhere in Kenya; however, no systematic study has been carried out to document these challenges, their nature and their causes. The main objective of the study was to find out the challenges of mother tongue education in Nandi County and the possible solutions to these challenges. The study adopted a case study design against a backdrop of mother tongue theory by Butzkamm (2000) which advances the argument that mother tongue education forms the basis of a child‟s acquisition of knowledge, additional languages and self-expression. This theory is built on the foundations of arguments raised by Tangas and Toukomaa(1976) claiming that a certain threshold of first language competence is needed for second language learning. A stratified random sample of 20 Head teachers, 20 lower Primary SchoolTeachers, and 5 education officials was drawn from selected schools in Chesumei sub-County in Nandi County. The main instruments of data collection were structured and semi-structured questionnaires. Data was organized and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study identified three major challenges facing the implementation of mother tongue education in Nandi County namely: attitude of education stakeholders; teacher related factors and lack of instructional materials. The results of this study are expected to benefit scholars in applied linguistics, ministry of education and policy makers in education.

Atherosclerosis is one of the major causes of increased morbidity and mortality associated with coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular accidents, and peripheral vascular diseases. Dyslipidemia is one of the important causes that result in atherosclerosis. The incidence of atherosclerosis has been on the rising recently. Therefore prevention of dyslipidemia can decrease the development of atherosclerosis. Aims: The study was undertaken to determine the efficacy of atorvastatin alone and its combination with omega-3 fatty acids in the management of hyperlipidemia in patients attending a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional prospective study conducted in the Department of Pharmacology and General Medicine, Kakatiya Medical College and Hospital, Warangal. The patients were selected from those visiting General Medicine OPD and diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. Sixty patients in the age group of 20 – 70 yrs, were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups. The Group I included the patients receiving Tab. Atorvastatin 10mg/day and Group II Atorvastatin 10mg/day plus Cap Omega-3 fatty acids 600mg/day for the duration of six months and follow up were done every month. Efficacy of treatment was assessed by the changes in laboratory parameters of Total cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL-C, LDL-C, and VLDL-C. Results: The efficacy of combination therapy i.e., Atorvastatin plus Omega-3 fatty acids showed a statistically significant rise in HDL cholesterol with the mean percentage difference of 4.24% when compared to monotherapy with Atorvastatin. The efficacy of other parameters like total cholesterol (TC), LDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, and triglycerides (TG'S) levels with the low dose of omega-3 fatty acids in combination therapy was not statistically significant and produced nearly identical alterations in serum lipoprotein levels when compared to monotherapy. Conclusion: Although statins are being used as first-line therapy for hyperlipidemia and in patients with elevated triglycerides. For patients with elevated LDL-C and low HDL-C combination therapy appears to be a better option. Thus omega-3 fatty acids may be a potential supplement for combination therapy apart from niacin and fibrates.

Education is a key component of a country’s developmental process. Inclusive education is a kind of education wherein all students including special needs (SN) learners attend and are welcomed by their neighborhood schools in age– appropriate regular classes and are supported to learn to contribute and participate in all aspects of life at school. Neighborhood public schools being at the heart of our communities are essential for quality inclusive education system. Special Needs learners who can benefit from public schools should not be denied the chance to access education nor be taken to special schools. However, inclusive education has been experiencing challenges which may undermine the program’s objectives if not well addressed. The extent to which these challenges could be impacting negatively on inclusive education policy in Kitale Township is however not clear. This is the gap to be filled. The Social Learning Theory guided the study. The study adopted descriptive research design. Questionnaires, interview schedules, and observation checklists were employed in data collection. The target population was 36 head teachers in the public primary schools in the township and 50 SN teachers. The sample size was 76 respondents selected using purposive and simple random sampling. Validity of data collection tools was determined through pilot study and assistance from supervisors. Reliability was tested using the test - retest method and the obtained value was .92. Hypotheses were tested using regression analysis at .05 level of significance. The study found that curriculum factors, teacher attitude, and social interaction had a significant influence on effective implementation of inclusive education policy. The study, therefore recommends more teachers to be employed to handle the large classes, the TSC to consider teachers handling SN learners in inclusive settings for special duty allowances being given to their counterparts in special schools and the curriculum to be evaluated to enhance effective implementation of inclusive education. In addition, review should be done on the part of funding to enable the acquisition of physical facilities and learning materials in public primary schools. Finally, parents, local communities and other education stakeholders should be educated on their roles in the implementation of inclusive education.

The volatile compound composition of food provides an indication of the benefits that this food can provide to the consumer. Thus the present study aimed at identifying the bioactive compounds present in formulated fermented diet made from 20% red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), 60% mung bean (Vigna radiate), 10% irish potato (Solanum tuberosum), and 10% ripe fresh papaya (Carica papaya) fruits inoculated with different concentrations of Lactococcus lactis sp. (Lc. lactis sp.) strain using the Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The formulated diet consisted the control diet containing no lactic bacteria, diet 1 (1 × 106 CFU/ml), and diet 2 (2 × 106 CFU/ml). The results of the GC-MS revealed the presence of twenty volatile compounds in each diet. Five compounds namely Benzyl Alcohol; 2-propyl-1-pentanol; 1,3-diethyl benzene; 1-Tridecyn-4-ol; Phthalic acid, and cyclobutyl isobutyl ester were identified in all diets. Three volatile compounds namely Benzyl alcohol, 2-propyl-1-pentanol, and 1,3-diethyl benzene were identified as the dominant compounds in control; whereas two (Phthalic acid, cyclobutyl isobutyl ester, (E)-9-Dodecenoic acid, methyl ester) and three more (9.12-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester; 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z) -, methyl ester, and Tetradecanoic acid, 10,13-dimethyl-, methyl ester) bioactive compounds were detected in diet 1 and diet 2 respectively. Benzyl alcohol was the principal dominant bioactive compound in all the diets. The present study indicates that inoculation and increasing in the concentration of lactic bacteria in diet led to the identification of 2 and 3 other major volatile compounds with biology activities which could be highly important in pharmacology and nutraceuticals.

In the recent days Internet has become an essential part of life. It has revolutionized communications, to the extent that it is now our preferred medium of everyday communication. In almost everything we do, we use the Internet. Chronic usage of internet affecting physical health conditions like weight gain etc., and this is causing the greatest problems among the young individuals. The main purpose of this study is to study the relationship between internet usage frequency in the University students on our GITAM University students with their BMI. The present study consists 100 Medicine students which were differentiated as males and females (43 Males and 50 Female students). Some of the students who are not responding for all the questionnaires are excluded (07 Students). Different questions were asked to the students in the class environment. A significant association was found between BMI and the intense internet usages (>5-7hrs/daily), with F value 3.55 and p value <0.05. Out of 93 students, 15 students with high internet usage (>5-7hrs) and 31 students with moderate internet usage (3-5hrs) showed positive correlation between increased internet use and obesity.
