It has been stated in the Constitution of India that freedom of religion is one of the fundamental rights of the people. According to secularism, every citizen of the country has a fundamental right to practice his or her religion. Though practicing a particular religion or changing to other religion is a right but it is matter of great concern that people are converting to other religion due to personal interest on other religion or to get some favour or facilities. So, religious conversion has become the subject of passionate debate in contemporary India. From the early 20th century onwards, it has surfaced again and again in the political realm, in the media and in the courts. During the last few decades the dispute has attained a new climax in the plethora of newspapers, journals, and books whose pages have been devoted to the question of conversion. The most debatable question is if a person exercises the right to conversion and changes his religion then what conflict of law situations it can create under the matrimonial law? In the present paper the author has made an attempt to focus on how the people are lured to convert to other religion especially in the District of Kandhamal of Odisha and the author has tried to justify with the help of a case study. In addition to this, the author has made an attempt to define the concept of religion, religious conversion and its impact. The author has also concentrated on the religious conversion vis-a-vis conflict of matrimonial laws in the light of decided cases. At last, suggestions are made for preventing anti-conversion and to enact a comprehensive law in this regard in India

More than 2 billion people in the world today suffer from micronutrient
deficiencies caused largely by a dietary efficiency of vitamins and minerals. The
public health importance of these deficiencies lies upon their magnitude and their
health consequences, especially in pregnant women and young children, as they
affect fetal and child growth, cognitive development and resistance to infection.
Although people in all population groups in all regions of the world may be affected,
the most widespread and severe problems are usually found amongst resource poor,
food insecure and vulnerable households in developing country. Some efforts that
have been done to solve the problem such as micronutrient fortification in rice,
because it is the staple food consumed by more than 90% Indonesia’s population. The
objectives of this research were determined and evaluated the stability of
micronutrient level during rice fortification and cooking. The results showed that
micronutrients decreased during rice fortification and cooking. The raw-fortified rice
contained 38.52 - 59.91mg/L of iodine, 0.92-1.79mg/L of vitamin A and15.64 -
48.39 mg/L of iron depending on the concentration of the coating material used.
After cooking, the fortified rice contained 3.00- 3.93mg/L of iodine,0.43 - 1.0 mg/L
of vitamin A and 12.92-19.66 mg/lof iron. The levels of micronutrients,
although experienced significant losses, still meet the daily needs according to the
Regulation of World Health Organization.

With the march of civilization, "living law" has been in continuous search for answers to the upcoming challenges. In the digital age, we are a witness to yet another technological unfurling-the technology of the Internet. The Web is a territory where caveat emptor is the rule and, as a result, consumers increasingly rely upon strong brand awareness and brand and brand performance for the confidence to engage in e-commerce. While trademarks are of greater importance in this virtual environment, they are also more vulnerable to infringement, dilution and anti-competitive practices. Trademark owners expend vast resources, engaging automated "web crawling" software and cyber surveillance firms, to monitor the billions of web pages and protect their intellectual property rights. Identity on the Internet also goes beyond the trademark system, because of the role played by the internet domain name system, which facilitates users' ability to navigate on the network. Domain names are user friendly addresses that correspond to the unique Internet Protocol numbers that connect our computers to the Internet and enable the network routing system to direct data requests to the correct addressee. Domain names were originally intended to perform a purely technical function in a user friendly way, but because they intuitive and easy to remember they now perform a function as business or personal identifiers. Most businesses, whether e-commercial or not, advertise their domain name to signal a Web presence. In this way, although, as such, not a form of intellectual property, domain names now perform an identifying functions similar to that of a trademark. Because of the way in which people and search engines operate, most businesses use their trademark or trade name as their domain name and this has caused conflict with the advent of predatory practices, known as 'cyber squatting. In this paper best effort made to limelight the trade mark issues in the cyber space and reforms yet to be in inquest.

Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, or type 7 (AML 7), is a rare entity
defined by a proliferation of blasts of which at least 50% are megakaryoblasts. It
represents 0.5 to 2% of acute leukemias (LA) in children and 3 to 10% of acute
myeloid leukemias (AML). Patients may have nonspecific symptoms. His diagnosis is
based on the presence in the blood or in the marrow of blasts with typical morphology
and expressing specific platelet antigens. This observation describes the clinical case
of a 19-month-old infant with pancytopenia. The diagnosis of AML7 was made based
on explorations of peripheral blood, myelogram, and immunophenotypic analysis.
Chemotherapy has been started, with a poor therapeutic response. The patient died in
a state of septic shock. We recall through a literature review the clinical, histological
and immunophenotypic features of acute megakaryoblastic leukemia.

In the contemporary victimological research, there has been a substantial growth in the study of the aftereffects of crime on the victims and how to assist them. Apart from physical and financial loss, victims of crime suffer from emotional losses. Such emotional losses may be in the form of depression, lowering of self-esteem, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The traditional criminal justice administration is bed rocked on the concept that the victims of crime get justice when the accused is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment. In recent times experiences in many countries across the globe have shown that one of the effective way of addressing the needs of the crime victims is by establishing within the criminal justice system programs that will provide victims of crime social, financial, emotional and psychological support.

10.36348/sjmps.2018.v04i03.003
A simple and precise reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay for the determination of dexamethasone in human plasma was developed and validated. 1.0 ml plasma samples containing dexamethasone and lansoprazole as internal standard (IS) were deproteinized with 2 ml dichloromethane and 3 ml methyl tert-butyl ether. Separation was achieved on Atlantis dC-18 column with a mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water (40:60, v:v), and delivered at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The eluent was monitored spectrophotometrically at 240 nm. No interference in blank plasma or of commonly used drugs was observed. The relationship between the concentration of dexamethasone in plasma and peak height ratio of dexamethasone to the IS was linear over the range of 0.15-8.0 μg/ml. Intra-day and inter-day coefficient of variation (CV) and bias were ≤11.1% and ≤9.5% and ≤9.3% and ≤5.6%, respectively. Mean extraction recovery of dexamethasone and IS was 100% and 97%, respectively. The method was applied to assess dexamethasone stability under various conditions encountered in the clinical laboratory. Dexamethasone stability in processed (24hrs at room temperature, 48hrs at -20°C) and unprocessed (24hrs at room temperature, 8 weeks at -20°C, or after 3 cycles of freeze and thaw) samples was ≥ 90% and ≥ 83%, respectively

Irrational use of Medicines is a global phenomenon. Various studies
conducted in developed as well as in developing countries during past few years
regarding the safe & effective use of drugs show that irrational drug use is a global
phenomenon & only few prescriptions justify rational use of drugs. Rational use of
medicines requires that "patients receive medications appropriate to their clinical
needs, in doses that meet their own individual requirements, for an adequate period of
time, and at the lowest cost to them and their community".

This paper will trace the history of copyrights from the beginning of awareness to the stage of modern law and economics movements. It gives comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of copyrights as an important form of intellectual property. It explains the basic history of copyright from the printing press to the photocopying machine. It also examines the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (Trips) era in the context of the technological advances. The Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) is considered to be one of the most important agreements in the intellectual property protection regime. A product of the Uruguay Round that established the World Trade Organization (WTO), the TRIPS agreement helped to develop the intellectual property from the national level to the international level, and from its purely conventional intellectual property (IP) perspective that was enacted in the two previous conventions of Paris and Berne to the world trade domain. It therefor laid down the minimum standard of protection that should be maintained by the countries adhering to the agreement Here we are faced with the question core point of this paper: Is future of copyrights law will be as the context as the past? is Trips era is better than the past? Is the Trips agreements is the final improvement to intellectual property rights? How can the states parties deal with the provisions of the TRIPS? Do they adopt or adapt these provisions to their national laws? How can they strike a balance between the national interests and the international obligations dictated by the Marrakesh agreement? Here I explain relation between the national legislation and the norms of globalization triggered by the Marrakesh Agreement of 1994 which concluded the Uruguay Round
