West Asian region is viewed as the most significant region from a variety of perspectives. The area has long served as a strategically important, commercially significant, politically active, and culturally sensitive focus of international affairs. Thus present study will try to examine the comparative analysis between India’s trade relations with the World with special focus on GCC & Non-GCC countries of West Asian region since 1991. The paper comprises the nations of Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Israel, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.), Yemen, Egypt, etc. Additionally, the study seeks to identify areas of convergence in India's exports within the region, shedding light on the intricate economic interdependencies that have shaped India's relationship with West Asian countries. By doing so, it aims to provide insights into strategic alignments, economic synergies, and potential growth avenues. Understanding these convergence points is crucial for formulating informed policies and strategies that align with India's broader economic and geopolitical objectives.

Background: Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure or arterial hypertension, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Blood pressure is expressed by two measurements, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Purpose/Aim: To investigate the usefulness of C-reactive protein and ESR as biomarkers for the diagnosis of hypertension among hypertensive patients attending gwakor primary health centre. Methods: The study investigated the levels of ESR and CRP among hypertensive subjects. Qualitative and semi quantitative C-reactive protein was carried out on serum and ESR was also done using whole blood. Result: Of the 200 subjects recruited for the study the age distribution of C-reactive protein seropositivity among the study subjects shown that the age between 21-30 had a seropositivity 1(5.6%) with a total Number of 18 within the group, and the age group between 31-40 shown a seropositivity of 5(9.8%) with total number tested within the age group 51, also the age range between 41-50 shown a seropositivity of 6(24.0%) with total number tested to be 25, and the age range between 51-60 had no seropositivity with total number tested were 4, while >60yrs showed 2(100.0%) with total number tested were 2. the highest number of seropositivity observed was in the age range of >60yrs and above, followed by 41-50 with 24%. The highest value observed among the age group of >60yrs was not surprised because this age group are prone to degenerative diseases because of age related conditions as individual aged as shown in table 4.1. The difference observed among the age distribution of CRP seropositivity among the study subjects showed a significance difference which was statistically significant. The sex distribution among the study subject showed that men had seropositivity of 10(19.6%) with a total number of 51 tested, while female showed 4(8.2%) with total number of 49 tested. Conclusion: The findings in this study confirmed that CRP and ESR are good inflammatory markers in the management of hypertensive patients, also CRP is a more sensitive and specific marker compared to ESR, and it also reveal that as individual is aging the risk of developing hypertension is high because elderly people are more expose compared to younger persons.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is recognized as a major public health problem around the world and is one of the most frequently discussed health conditions among medical professionals, particularly in the field of nursing. In addition to the nature of nursing work, body mechanics and life style factors, nurses’ socio-demographic characteristics plays a significant role in the causation of this condition. As a result, the purpose of this study was to investigate the socio-demographic characteristics of nurses so that policymakers and healthcare practitioners could gain a better understanding into the mitigation of LBP among nurses. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 80 nurses working at Mugda Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Face to face interview was conducted through a self-administered questionnaire which had three parts relatable to socio-demographic profile, screening of musculoskeletal problems and pain intensity. Both descriptive and inferential statistics was applied through SPSS to measure the socio-demographic characteristics of nurses and other major variables. Results: Results showed that the mean age and BMI was 37.53 years and 26.77, respectively. Further, 1.68 person, 82754.72 Bangladeshi taka and 16.17 years were found as the mean number of children, family monthly income and working experiences of nurses, respectively. BMI, marital status, number of children and working experiences were found to be significantly (p<.05) associated with the low back pain. Conclusion: Regardless of socioeconomic status, all nurses experience some level of low back pain. However, BMI, marital status, job years, and the number of children all have an impact on the development of low back pain in nurses.

Alfred Baeumler made some interesting contributions to education from the point of view of the community. He states for example, that intellectualism is the main prejudice of environmental thinking with regard to the educational process. Also, only where man is recognized in his reality and educated according to this reality can the science of education arise in a permanent form. He also discusses the concept of community in Rousseau, Fichte and Pestalozzi. Finally, Schiller’s Wallenstein and Goethe’s Iphigenia in Tauris are commented.

Background: Uterine rupture is linked to high rates of maternal mortality, especially in developing countries. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the factors contributing to uterine rupture and the resulting neonatal outcomes in Sudan. Methodology: This study comprised of a series of 26 women presented with uterine rupture to the department of maternity at El-Obeid Teaching Hospital, El-Obeid, North Kordofan state, Sudan. The patients presented within one-year time. Results: In this particular group of patients, the neonatal population exhibited the following distribution: 19.2% (5 out of 26) were classified as Alive and well (WA), 23% (6 out of 26) required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), 46.2% (12 out of 26) presented with Fresh Still Birth (FSB), and 11.6% (3 out of 26) displayed manifestations of Macerated Still Birth (MSB). Conclusion: Various factors can impact the outcomes of neonates following uterine rupture, such as the availability of facilities and demographic factors. The majority of newborns delivered showed unfavorable conditions.

Batteries are becoming an essential component of many different applications, such as memory backup, clocks, calculators, lighting, portable electronic devices, and photographic equipment, advancements in the electronics sector. Pure metal nanoparticles can be created either destructively or constructively using metal precursors. Because of the plasma resonance feature, it has special opto-electrical properties. Size, shape, and fact govern the metal nanoparticles replicate. Silver, gold, iron, cobalt, zinc, copper, and cadmium nanoparticles are the most prevalent metal nanoparticles. The electrical characteristics of the flower-shaped nanostructure when connected to the Pt nanoparticles are noticeably better than the typical electro-catalytic characteristics of the spherical nanoparticles. Transitional metal oxides are considered vital materials in industry because of their vast variety of magnetic, thermal, chemical, and electrical characteristics, as demonstrated by the evaluation of functional inorganic solids. The corrosive resistance of the metal at high voltages should be taken into account. Al and Ti are therefore excellent options because of the inert layer that forms on their surfaces at high potential. Building a porous metal current collector is therefore crucial to stabilizing alkali metal anodes with improved cycle and safety performance.
