Status of Familial and Non-Familial Cancer Cases among the Breast Cancer Population in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide with a widely variable incidence rate between countries and regions. In developed countries, which accounts for a small proportion of the world population, about 50% of breast cancers are diagnosed (1,2). The lowest breast cancer incidences were reported in far Eastern and South East Asian countries (3,4). However, the burden of health care costs on the account of breast cancer has been steadily increasing in the developing countries of Asia. In the coming decades, developing countries will account for a majority of new breast cancer patients diagnosed on a global level. Further, more than 100,000 new breast cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed annually in India (4,5).

This study was performed to assess the level of awareness of farmers on Newcastle disease and its control through vaccination and also to determine the level of Newcastle disease virus antibody (Ab) titer in commercial layer chicken sera using haemagglutination inhibition test in Jos South Local Government Area, Plateau State, Nigeria. A structured questionnaire was shared to farmers to fill. Thirty four farms were visited and nine districts were randomly selected. A total of 354 sera were collected from commercial chickens; ten from each flock. There was a high level of awareness of farmers (100%) on ND and its vaccination (100%) and all the farmers (100%) had vaccinated their chickens against ND. The HI test revealed that, out of the 354 sera tested, 9 (2.5 %) chickens were negative for NDV Abs, which means had NDV antibody titer below the minimum protective titer of log2 3 and 345 chickens (97.5%) were positive for NDV Abs; had NDV antibody titer above log2 3. It was concluded that the level of awareness of farmers on ND and its control through vaccination was incredibly high, also, the level of protection to ND in vaccinated chickens was also very high, in that a higher percentage of the chickens had NDV Antibodies between log2 6 and log2 8, however, inspite of these, ND is still a continual threat to the poultry industry in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that, other biosecurity measures, such as good management practice, proper hygiene and surveillance be emphasized and ensured, in order to prevent ND infection among flocks.
Examining the Performance of Hot Mix Asphalt Using Nano- Materials

cold environments and soft in hot environments. Pavement material is characterized by number of failures modes at low and high temperature such as cracking, fatigue cracking, or permanent deformation which causes a reduction of quality and performance [1]. Any improvement in service life of road pavements will be off course of a great economical advantage and any modifications of asphalt are attempts to extend the service life and improve the performance of asphalt pavements [2]. In this study a forward investigation of s nano silica and nano carbon on the physical properties such as penetration, softening, and viscosity then studying its effect on the mechanical properties of marshall specimen. Two methods of mixing nano-materials (Mechanical and High-Shear) were examined. Results showed that nano carbon or nano silica decrease the penetration and increase softening and viscosity. Furthermore increased stability and decreased flow. Micro scanning proved that high shear mixing is better than mechanical mixer in case of nano carbon while there was no significant different in case of nano silica.
Consumers' Buying Decisions of Foreign and Domestic Products in Nigeria: An Analysis

This study investigates the relationship between buying decisions of foreign products and Domestic products in Nigeria. It specifically studied buyers in six (6) cities; one each from the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. Factor analysis scales was used to examine perceived predicators of consumers’ buying decisions between the two product types, such as personality scales, attitude measurements, ability scales green marketing and innovative drives as well as market orientations. Two separate markets comprising super / departmental stores and open markets were carefully delineated to include all manners of buyers in the analysis. Again, two sets of structured questionnaires were designed to elicit relevant data from the target population. Hence, fifteen (15) copies of structured questionnaire were administered in each segment of the six (6) cities using multi-stage sampling technique. In all, a total of 180 reporters supply relevant data for this analysis. The resultant data was analysed using simple percentage statistics, bar chart and logistic regression model. The study reveals that the major predicators of consumers’ buying decisions between foreign and domestic products in Nigeria, as arranged in the order priority are: ‘Green Marketing drive’, ‘Innovative drive’, ‘Ability scales’, ‘Attitude measurements’ and ‘Personality scales’. The general market performance for the products under review is high, foreign products show higher market performance domestic products in the general market. It shows that at least 6 out of every 10 products sold in Nigerian markets are foreign products. This result reveals a scenario that Nigeria is either a consumption economy or the consumers’ taste for foreign products is high. The study recommends that marketers trading on domestic products must pay attention to consumers’ ‘Green Marketing drive’, ‘Innovative drive’ and ‘Ability scales in order to boast the consumptions of domestic products in Nigeria. It also recommends a combination of ‘responsive’ and ‘proactive’ market-oriented strategies to diversify market opportunities portfolio in Nigerian markets. Furthermore, future research is necessary to tell apart the production and consumption strengths of the Nigerian economy. Indeed, lack of availability of domestic products could predicate consumers’ high demand for foreign products, not withstanding the high prices and governmental restrictions (embargo).

Elementary Teachers' Practices and Self-Efficacy Related to Technology Integration for Teaching Nutrition.

HOVLAND, JANA A. , Ph.D., December 2016, Curriculum and Instruction, Instructional Technology Elementary Teachers' Practices and Self-Efficacy Related to Technology Integration for Teaching Nutrition Director of Dissertation: Greg Kessler Stakeholders are interested in using technology to integrate nutrition education into the regular school curriculum as one strategy, among many, to combat the childhood obesity epidemic. The primary purposes of this study were to: (a) gain a better understanding of elementary teachers’ perceptions concerning technology integration in nutrition education, and (b) identify factors influencing elementary teachers’ self-efficacy for integrating technology into nutrition education. An online survey was used to collect demographic information, teacher perceptions of barriers to using technology to teach nutrition, teacher perceptions of barriers to teaching nutrition in general, teacher perceptions of supports for using technology to teach nutrition, and technology integration self-efficacy for teaching nutrition. Frequencies, means, and standard deviations were calculated to gain a better understanding of teacher perceptions related to technology integration and nutrition education. Multiple regression analysis examined whether the variables (nutrition training and technology training) could predict elementary teachers’ self-efficacy for utilizing technology to teach nutrition. One hundred sixteen elementary educators from a six county region in West Virginia completed the survey. All educators taught at schools participating in Marshall
Cephalophagus Non Janiceps: An Extremely Rare Variant of Conjoined Twins: A Case Report

Conjoined twins, popularly known as Siamese twins, result from aberrant embryogenesis [1]. It is a rare presentation with an incidence of 1 in 50,000 births. Since 60% of these cases are still births, so the true incidence is estimated to be approximately 1 in 200,000 births [2-4]. This disorder is more common in females with female to male ratio of 3:1 [5]. Conjoined twins are classified based on their site of attachment with a suffix ‘pagus’ which is a Greek term meaning “fixed”. The main types of conjoined twins are omphalopagus (abdomen), thoracopagus (thorax), cephalopagus (ventrally head to umbilicus), ischipagus (pelvis), parapagus (laterally body side), craniopagus (head), pygopagus (sacrum) and rachipagus (vertebral column) [6]. Cephalophagus is an extremely rare variant of conjoined twins with an incidence of 11% among all cases. These types of twins are fused at head, thorax and upper abdominal cavity. They are pre-dominantly of two types: Janiceps (two faces are on the either side of the head) or non Janiceps type (normal single head and face). We hereby report a case of non janiceps cephalopagus conjoined twin, which was diagnosed after delivery.
A REVIEW OF MISSING DATA HANDLING METHODS

-- Most of the real world datasets suffer from the problem of missing data. It may lead data mining analysts to end with wrong inferences about data under study. Many researchers are working on this problem to introduce more sophisticated methods. Eventhough many methods are available, analysts are facing difficulty in searching a suitable method due to lack of knowledge about the methods and their applicability. To bridge this gap, this paper provides a brief overview of the review papers that have been published during last 10 years that deal with missing values. It discusses about the methods that are compared in the literatures and observations that the authors have made. Finally the techniques that are recommended in most of the literatures are implemented in real world datasets and the empirical results are studied.
Seminal Plasma Levels of Neutral Alpha Glucosidase Activity and Its Interactions with Spermiogram in Nigerian Males

Introduction: Seminal neutral alpha glucosidase activity is a useful parameter in determination of the cause of azoospermia, This has often been reported to have seasonal variation and has not been extensively studied in sub Saharan Africa. Materials and Methods: The was a cross sectional study conducted on 122 male subjects attending a fertility clinic in Lagos, Nigeria. Semen samples were collected from subjects by masturbation into a sterile universal bottle. The samples were analysed after one hour to allow for complete liquefaction and the results categorized according to the WHO guidelines. Results: The mean age, standard deviation (SD) and age group of the study subjects were 44 Original Research Article Azenabor et al.; ARRB, 9(4): 1-7, 2016; Article no.ARRB. 22765 2 (5.3) years and 30 56 years respectively. The mean ± 2SD of neutral alpha glucosidase activity in subjects with normozoospermia (20.42±14.55 mIU/ml) is comparable with other categories (f = 1.430, p = 0.236). The number and proportions of the categorized spermiogram in this report is oligoasthenozoospermia 18 (15%), azoospermia 18 (15%), oligozoospermia 18 (15%) and normozoospermia 64 (53.3%). Normozoospermic subjects had a significantly increased sperm concentration (61.19± 38.91), % active motility (56.56±16.92%), (f = 43.959, p = 0.000) and % non progressive motility (34.94±25.22%), (f = 8.203, p = 0.000) compared with other categories; while asthenozoospermic subjects had a significantly increased % abnormal sperm cells (60.00±0.00) compared with other categories (f = 21.448, p = 0.000). Neutral alpha glucosidase activity correlated positively with sperm concentration (r = 0.806, p = 0.005) in normozoospermic subjects. Conclusion: We conclude from our results that the determination of neutral alpha glucosidase activity in seminal plasma may not give additional information of the fertility status, but shows premise in conjunction with other seminal biochemical parameters, clinical manisfestations and

The experimental group was taught for two months by using Cooperative Learning Strategy for two months. The control group was tau ght by using the traditional method. Two instruments were used (the reading comprehension test (pre-posttest) and a que stionnaire of attitudes towards cooperative learning). Results in dicated that the students obtained higher reading c omprehension scores than the control groups' scores at.05 level of sign ificance. It was also concluded that most students have positive attitudes towards the cooperative learning. Also, there is no ignificant differences in the scores of the exper im ntal group according to their gender.
American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER)

At high speed, there are two problems for safety and effective control of vehicles. One is that Signal-to-noise of wheel speed sensors are reduced, and the other is the data calculated by wheel speed signal is emanative. In this paper, wheel speed sensor signal was transformed into a frequency domain by using Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) or Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), waveform features of true signal and noise were studied in a frequency domain. Based on a narrow frequency domain and high energy of true signal, and wide-band signal and low energy of noise spectrum, a new method to process wheel speed signal was presented by using FFT and IFFT algorithms. Namely, transforming wheel speed signal into frequency domain using FFT firstly, "filtering" the wide-band noises in a frequency domain using polynomial fitting method secondly, and transforming waveforms of the noise spectrum into real signal inversely thirdly. The effects of three filtering methods which are electronic current filter, Karman filter and FFT/IFFT filter were compared to each other by road test of automotive vehicle. The test indicates that it can get rid of noises efficiently;improve signal-to-noise ratio clearly by using the processing method of FFT/IFFT filter.
SALIVARY AND GINGIVAL TISSUE MALONDIALDEHYDE LEVELS IN CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS PATIENTS

INTRODUCTION: e presence of unpaired valence electrons makes free radicals and [9] reactive oxygen species (ROS) highly reactive. Lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleotides in the tissues can be chemically [11] modified and damaged by reactive free radicals. Due to the presence of high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane they are susceptible to the free radical attack and thus [14] affects the hemostatic environment. Studies have shown that oxidative stress is important in pathogenesis of periodontitis. e saliva and gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) of periodontitis patients have higher levels of non specific markers of lipid peroxidation,a hallmark of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can result due to uncontrolled production of lipid peroxides, causing significant damage to cell integrity. Malondialdehyde(MDA) is a low molecular weight end product formed via the decomposition of certain primary [17] and secondary lipid peroxidation products. With this background the present study was conducted with following objectives:
Polymorphism at Prolactin Promoter Region and its Relation with Production Performance in Aseel Birds

The Asil or Aseel is a breed of chicken originating from South Punjab / Sindh area of Pakistan and India. The Aseel breed is known for its stamina, pugnacity, majestic gait, and dogged fighting qualities (Panda and Mahapatra, 1989). This breed is characterized by its hardiness and ability to thrive under adverse climatic conditions, and its meat is considered to have a desirable taste and flavor. The superiority of Aseel on other indigenous breeds is due to its hardiness, resemblance to Cornish and larger body size (Bhatti et al., 1991). Almost all the varieties of Aseel are characterized with heavy body weight and poor egg production potential thus leading to low progeny size due to erratic ovulation, short or erratic clutches and broodiness. Prolactin (PRL) is a polypeptide hormone which plays a key role in egg production. Onset of incubation behavior is induced by an increase in PRL secretion, which results in regression of ovary & loss of egg production (Sharp, 1997). Polymorphism in the promotor region specially those that result in change of promoter binding sites, most likely influence mRNA expression and thus influence incubation behaviour and egg production (Cui et al., 2006).
Computed Tomography And Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology In The Diagnosis Of Intraabdominal And Pelvic Lesions: A Single Institutional Experience

Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology(FNAC) as an initial screening modality is an important interventional method.Technical advances in the method of radiology have it made it possible for many inaccessible lesions within the abdomen and pelvis to be safely sampled.Although FNA yields limited material, a positive diagnosis can contribute to the treatment,thus limiting the need for a core biopsy or 2 step surgical procedure.The procedure is relatively inexpensive and can also be done on an outpatient basis with minimal morbity to the patient. Methods: The present study is a retrospective study carried out from January 2012 to October 2014. All the patients in whom intra abdominal and pelvic lesions were detected clinically and by imaging modalities such as CT and USG, were included. The alcohol fixed (PAP) and air dried (MGG) smears of the selected cases were retrieved from archives and cytomorphological features were studied. Result: A total of 755 aspirations were carried out under image guidance, of which 208 aspirates (27.54%) included only intraabdominal and intrapelvic lesions.Majority of the patients in the study were males (51%). Total number of inflammatory lesions were 16 cases, benign lesions were 10 cases and malignant lesions were 164 cases.The most commonly encountered malignancy was metastasis to the liver . Conclusion: CT and USG guided FNAC is able to overcome various obstacles such as inaccessibility of deep seated intraabdominal lesions and is a valuable tool for yielding cellular smears.
Performance Analysis of Cooperative Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radios in Nakagami-m Fading Channels

— This paper studies and presents the effect of different hard fusion schemes applied to a cooperative cognitive radio system. The fading channel considered is the Nakagami-m channel. The hard fusion rules are the OR rule, AND rule and the majority fusion rule. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves for cooperative sensing using the abovementioned fusion rules are plotted. The simulation results show that the OR fusion scheme gives superior performance compared to other fusion schemes. The paper also studies the effect of different number of co-operating users.
EFFECT ON FETUS IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH VAGINITIS

Objective: To determine whether education level and occupation are risk factors of vaginitis in pregnant women and to investigate relationship between vaginitis occurrence during pregnancy and perinatal mortality rates. Methods: A total of 319 women of early pregnancy or mid-pregnancy were enrolled. Six specimens were collected from posterior fornix of each pregnant woman and then cultured for identification of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, intestinal bacteria, general bacteria, fungi, mycoplasma, and chlamydia, respectively. Results: The pregnant women in the “elementary school or below” group and the “middle school” group had significantly higher incidences of vaginitis compared with the pregnant women in the groups of “high school”, “skill education”, and “college or above”. The pregnant women in the groups of “Worker”, “Government employee”, “Company employee”, and “Professionals” had significantly lower vaginitis incidences. The women with infections of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, intestinal bacteria, and general bacteria had higher perinatal mortalities (0.063 ± 0.011, 0.052 ± 0.012, and 0.017 ± 0.008, respectively) than women with infections of fungi, mycoplasma, and Chlamydia (0.002 ± 0.007, 0.003 ± 0.004, and 0.001 ± 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Education level and occupation are risk factors related to incidences of vaginitis in pregnant women. The bacteria-related vaginitis is a major reason of perinatal mortality.
