Resilience is the process by which one is capable of managing stress or trauma. The young adult individuals have their own capacities that they use to deal with obstacles and their problems and eventually to go on with their lives. Resilience can be most useful in traumatic situations like parental death. This paper studies the literature to understand the effects that parental death causes on early adult population and the different sources that help an individual in being resilient. Parental death has seen to cause various effects like decreased competency, depressive symptoms, low psychological well-being, increased binge eating, etc. among individuals. Supporting others, using our strengths, family support, coping styles have been found in various studies as important factors in being resilient. Thus it is necessary to study, find out and make available to the aforementioned vulnerable population, especially in India the different activities, factors or techniques of building resilience. This would help them overcome situations through understanding resilience as a protective factor.

Using cement dust in asphalt mixing can have many environmental advantages. Before widely adapting cement dust in asphalt paving, trial sections and adequate provisions should be provided. By pass cement dust is proposed within this research as an alternative to traditional mineral filler in hot mix asphalt (HMA). The effect of using waste cement dust as mineral filler on the Marshall properties of hot mix asphalt was investigated. The optimum cement dust content was determined. Five asphalt concrete mixtures with various cement dust contents, namely; 0%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% by weight of the filler were studied. Laboratory testing has revealed an enhancement in Marshall when cement dust was used. Marshall testing results have indicated an increase in the stability, unit weight and a decrease in the flow, voids ratio and voids in mineral aggregates when the percentage of cement dust content increases. The optimum cement dust ratio was found to be 100% of the used mineral filler. Hence, cement dust can totally replace filler in asphalt paving mixtures.

This paper considers how the kotoki (political Interpreter) adopted by the Ahoms kings and later adopted by the British to deal with the various hill tribes of Arunachal Pradesh became one of the important element in the Nyishi traditional system. Here I tried to highlight the growth and development of kotoki and its mere role as a messenger to becoming a decision making body in the Nyishi Village Council. The paper focuses on the how the kotoki served as a bridge between the outsiders and Nyishi, which helps in understanding the culture, customs and traditional practices of the Nyishi. It also deals how the Nyishi after remaining isolated for so long gradually opened up to the outsiders though with much intricacy.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the Information and communication technology (ICT) challenges are being faced by the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the service sector of Pakistan. Quantitative research methodology is adopted by using the close ended questionnaire as a data collection tool. For the purpose of this study, nine challenges which are well documented in the literature being faced by the service industries in Pakistan are hypothesized. Out of these nine challenges, six are being accepted; however, three are rejected in the light of the responses received from the stakeholders. The accepted assumptions are unavailability, complexity of technology, limited speed of broadband, unskilled staff, frequent disconnection, and incomplete online payment process evaluated, those variables significantly influence to the performance & growth of SMEs in Pakistan. On the other hand, the results also indicate that affordability, lack of trust and cyber threats assumptions rejected. Since all these variables categorized in to three main factors i.e are ICT access, ICT infrastructure, and ICT securities. Additionally, the results indicate that these three factors are significant influenced on the performance of SMEs. Finally, findings of this study suggest that government need to empower ICT infrastructure on the basis of regional uniformity, and provide flexible policy regulations for creating strong bridge between SMEs and ICT, so that to minimize challenges and can contribute more in the development of country.

Today, Kenya Government is pursuing Vision 2030. Kenya Vision 2030 is the country‟s new development blueprint covering the period 2008 to 2030. It aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrializing, “middle-income country aims to ensure gender equity in power and resource distribution and increase participation of women in all economic, social and political decision making process. Further more education may also contribute to raising the quality of the labour force and hence increased productivity within a lifespan. The purpose of the study was to carry out an in-depth analysis on performance of women with that of men in relation to equity to University learning resources. Second to examine alternative strategic plans for enhance university student performance in science, mathematics and technology programmes. The theory used in this study was Liberal feminism. It is rooted in the tradition of 16th- and 17th-century liberal philosophy, which focused on the ideals of equality and liberty. The research design used in this study is ex post facto. The study was carried out in 3 Kenyan public and 3 private universities. Chi-square statistical test was used to establish relationships and variable traits while themes were derived from narrative data. The findings of this study revealed that in lower levels of education tier boys outdo girls in SMTs in terms of performance. However, at university level, men and women perform equally well. Contrary to general misconception that transition of women is not at same the rate as men, the study has shown that the difference is insignificant. The study has also established that there is no correlation between gender and preference of SMT programmes at university level. Government should set aside lots of capital to equip the SMTs facilities at all the universities.

Evaluation of strategies in Kenya may be done either quantitatively or qualitatively. This is to ascertain whether the process of implementations will succeed in attaining the objectives or not.

The study used descriptive research design to get the information under investigation. The target population consisted of 31 Principals of public secondary schools, 31 BOM chairpersons, and 31 PTA chairpersons. The study used simple random sampling to select 10 Principals, 10 BOM chairpersons, and 10 PTA chairpersons to be given Questionnaires. The research instruments used to collect data was questionnaires. The questionnaires were made up of close-ended questions. Data collected was analyzed quantitatively, for descriptive statistics, frequency tables and percentages were used. The findings of the study show that for effective strategic plans implementation educational stakeholders must ensure that there is good leadership from the top to the bottom to ensure there is good coordination in all aspects, also effective decision making should be inclusively so that it that does not bring disputes along the way. The Education policy makers would find this study useful in formulating educational policy that would enable the schools to improve on strategic planning process and also in addressing the critical issues that may be affecting secondary school education.

Building on structurationist theory of sociology, Vygotskyian sociocultural theory, Chomskyian cognitive linguistics, and postmodern and poststructural logic regarding the decentered subject and indeterminacy of meaning this work explores the origins and nature of human consciousness, cognition, social action, learning, and development within Paul C. Mocombe‘s phenomenological structural sociology, phenomenological structuralism. The article attempts to synthesize Vygotskyian sociocultural theory with Chomskyian cognitive linguistics in order to offer a more complete understanding of human consciousness, action, cognition, learning, and development amidst the postmodern and post-structural attempt to decenter the subject.

This article highlights and explores the hermeneutical phenomenology found in Haitian/Vilokan Idealism. The work posits that Haitian ontology, Vodou/Vilokan, gave rise to its epistemology, Haitian/Vilokan Idealism, which subsequently gave rise to the Vodou Ethic and the spirit of communism and the lakou system as its form of social and system integration, respectively. Within Haitian/Vilokan Idealism, the work concludes, is a hermeneutical phenomenology that parallels Martin Heidegger’s hermeneutical phenomenology.

The first tumor marker reported was Bence Jones protein in 1846 by precipitation of a protein in acidified boiled urine. The measurement of Bence Jones protein has been a diagnostic test for multiple myeloma. The first modern tumor marker used to detect cancer was human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG), a marker used in pregnancy tests. High level of HCG in the blood may indicate the presence of a placental malignancy. After pregnancy if the uterus continues to enlarge; then a high level of HCG in the blood may indicate the presence of a cancer of the placenta called as Gestational trophoblastic disease. This marker is still used to help in their diagnosis & to monitor their response to therapy. The first success in developing a blood test for a common cancer was in 1965, when Carcinoembryonic antigen was found in the blood of some patients with colon cancer. By the end of 1970s several other blood tests had been developed for different cancers. Some proteins are secreted and/or cleaved into the extra cellular milieu and may represent valuable serum biomarkers for diagnostic purpose. This review is all about the various salivary tumor markers which help in diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Botriomycome exceptionally reveals an infectious bone site. We report a case of botriomycoma revealing tuberculosis osteitis of the tibia in a 38-year-old man without particulars antecedents, who consulted for a cutaneous lesion at the 1/3 proximal of the left leg evolving over 4 months, with bone involvement in imaging, in whom the histological examination of the cutaneous and bone lesions allowed the diagnosis of botriomycoma on an underlying tuberculosis osteitis. Following surgical management associated with anti-tuberculosis treatment, the outcome was favorable. Botriomycoma is a well-known but little reported entity in the literature. It is a benign tumor that often reveals an underlying infectious but rarely bone site. Our case is the first in which this tumor allows us to discover tuberculosis osteitis of the tibia.

The aim of this review was to evaluate literature on the efficacy of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) as a sole grafting material in sinus floor augmentation. The main advantage of PRF is the avoidance of a second surgical site needed for the harvest of autologous bone. A PubMed search was carried out, limited to human studies for articles on PRF as a sole grafting material. 15 unique results were found. Out of 15, 5 results met our inclusion criteria. All the studies were non-comparative and were analyzed for sample size, case-selection criteria, surgical technique, evaluation criteria, success rates and follow-up period. PRF showed promising results as a grafting material and is a relevant biomaterial for natural bone regeneration. Further, clinical studies including control groups in the form of randomized controlled clinical trials are required to establish the efficiency of PRF as a grafting material in sinus lift procedures.

The term „predatory publishing‟ was coined by Jeffery Beall in 2010 for the journals; unprofessionally exploit the open access model for profit. He also developed a list of predatory publishers called as Beal‟s list. India emerged as a world‟s largest base of predatory publishers followed by U.S.A and Nigeria according to a recent research. Hence the present study was aimed to assess the knowledge and awareness of faculty members of three different dental colleges in India regarding predatory publishing.A cross sectional survey was performed in three different dental institutions with the consent of the ethical board of our Institute. The study was designed in a questionnaire form which was used to assess the awareness and knowledge of dental academicians of three different dental institutes of Jaipur city regarding predatory publishing. In addition printouts of Beall‟s list were given to the faculty and asked whether they had already published their papers in the journal given in the list. The data accumulated were grouped and analyzed. Total of 121 faculty members of three different colleges were grouped according to their rank in the department and analyzed. 30.5% of the faculty members were aware about predatory journals. Higher proportions of professors and readers were aware about predatory publishing comparing to senior lecturers. On publication, it was found that 52% of the faculty members published their papers in predatory journals. Adequate knowledge of dental academicians towards this unethical practice is mandatory because predatory journals may take away not only your money but also your prestige and academic reputation.

Trichobezoar is a rare intriguing disorder in which swallowed hair accumulate in the stomach. Trichobezoar occur most frequently in younger female patients with psychiatric disorders (Trichotillomania and trichophagia). We report a case of gastric trichobezoar in 22 year old female patient, who presented with the complaints of pain in abdomen, loss of appetite and lump in abdomen. Patient was having some cachectic look and without any history of psychiatric disorder and previous gastric surgery. She was investigated with ultrasonography, Barium meal study followed by Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which confirmed the diagnosis of trichobezoar. She underwent gastrotomy, trichobezoar was removed and she recovered well. Patient was advised to consult in psychiatry but we lost the patient as she did not return in follow up.
