The human civilization has witnessed several numbers of pandemic from time to time since time immemorial such as the Plague, Cholera, Influenza, Chicken pox Malaria, Typhus, and HIV/AIDS etc. This Pandemic has created a serious threat to the existence of human civilization and also badly affected globally in the socio-economic conditions and industrial development. The Corona Virus Disease 2019, shortly Covid !9 is a recently developed global pandemic which was first identified in Wuhan city of China in the month of December 2019 and on 11th march 2020 it was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The all most all of the countries of the world were severely affected from this pandemic, specially, in the industrial and health sectors, where lakhs of people lost their lives. India is also not exceptional in this regard. As a developing country thousands of educated unemployed youth rush to other developed countries specially the Middle East countries for searching of jobs. But due to covid-19 pandemic most of the youth return back to their home land India. It has been observed that due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the economic situation of India has been badly affected because most of the Large and MSMEs were closed down as a result lakhs of youths became unemployed. The entire economic condition of the North Easter state of India including Assam were also badly affected in this pandemic because the region is industrially very poor as compared to the other states of the country, therefore, thousands of unemployed youth go to other states like Tamilnadu, Kerela, Karnatak, Maharastra, Delhi, Hariyana etc. in search of jobs. Due to this pandemic these youths returned to their own state due to shutdown of their industries, which affected in economy. Therefore, this study is an attempt to highlight the major impacts of the Covid-19 on economic and industrial sectors of Assam.

The objective of this research was to reveal the effect of the five emotional intelligence dimensions such as a self-awareness, emotional management, self-motivation, emphaty, and interpersonal skills on the academic achievement of undergraduates. This study employed a quantitative approach with survey method. The respondent of this study was undergraduates of Computer College of Bina Patria, central java, Indonesia. The method of data collection was questioannaire. This research revealed that emotional management, self-motivation and interpersonal relationship gave a significant influence on grade average point of the students (Sig. <0.05). Meanwhile, self of awareness and emphaty did not give a significant influence on the grade average points of the students (Sig.>0.05). Then, emotional management gave the biggest influence on the grade average points of the students with standardized coefficients 0.361, and sig. 0.001<0.05. The findings of the research imply practically that the students undergraduates should build and improve continuously the dimensions of emotional intelligence to increase their academic achievement. Meanwhile, from theoretically point of view this finding can be used to construct the paradigm of academic achievement that the three dimensions of emotional intelligence-emotional intelligence, self motivation and interpersonal relationship can be considered as factors which influence the academic achievement of students undergraduates.

Background: Laparotomy is most commonly performed under general anesthesia, but spinal anesthesia (SA) is considered an alternative to in the context of limited resources. The safety and efficacy of using SA as substitute for general anesthesia(GA) has not been explored in Afghanistan. Methodology: We conductedan observational study in the general surgery department of Isteqlal hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan on 196 adult patients undergoing emergency laparotomy under spinal anesthesia betweenApril 2018-April 2020. Results: The mean age of patients was 41.5 years (SD=19.4), the ratio of males to females was 1.9:1 and almost half (44.4%) had comorbidities. 21% were classified as ASA grade III and IV with a similar pattern among males and females. A total of 11 (5.6%) cases were converted to GA. Conversion pattern to GA was similar amongmales and females(P=0.71), ASA grade (P=0.432) and age group (P=0.642). The mean length of stay after operation was 6.5 days (SD=4.1). 32 (16.3%) patients suffered SA complications with no significant difference in terms of sex (P=0.134). Hypotension and headache accounted for 97% of complications. Complication rates were similar in terms of intervertebral level (P=0.349), type of abdominal incision (P>0.1) and average length of stay (P=0.156). 18 patients (9.2%) died due to MOF, sepsis, respiratory failure, thromboembolism and cardiogenic shock. Conclusion: Spinal anesthesia is considered a safe and effective anesthesia for emergency laparotomies, even for those with comorbidities. Based on our findings we would recommend spinal anesthesia as an alternative to general anesthesiain emergency laparotomy in Afghanistan.

The potential for environmental problems that can have a major impact on the preservation of nature and human health raises awareness of the need to regulate environmental issues with legal instruments. The mechanism for enforcing environmental crimes in Indonesia is contained in Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management and the Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 18/PUU-XII/2014 dated January 21, 2015, which is carried out in an integrated manner. Nevertheless, there are problems in implementation, namely due to the unclear model of the application in terms of coordination between lemabaga, resulting in law enforcement in an integrated manner less efficient and effective implementation of this research is library researchusing methods Juridical Empirical and manifold qualitative by examining various kinds of primary and secondary data and will describe how the implementation of integrated law enforcement in environmental crimes based on Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management and Constitutional Court Decision Number 18/PUU-XII/2014 Date January 21, 2015. Support for environmental criminal law enforcement contained in UUPPLH is the existence of environmental Civil Servant Investigators (PPNS) (Article 94) who have the authority to conduct investigations in cases of environmental pollution and or destruction. Therefore, to inhibit the rate of pollution and environmental destruction, in particular, it is necessary to enforce environmental laws in an integrated manner. Enforcement of environmental law is closely related to the ability of the apparatus and the compliance of citizens with laws and regulations. Seeing the courts decision in this study, it is suspected that environmental law enforcement officials have not made much progress and do not understand the environmental law enforcement system, which should be carried out in an integrated manner.

Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction is one of the important systemic effect of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease that affects various cognitive domains in these patients. Aim: Assessment of cognitive function in specific cognitive domains in COPD with various stages of severity as observed by airflow obstruction. Methods: N=68 COPD patients and N=20 controls were matched for age and education. EEG changes, SpO2 and rSO2 were compared between COPD and control group. Cognitive scores and EEG wave patterncompared among different stages of severity in COPD group. Statistical analysis: Was done using SPSS version 18. Two independent t test was used for bivariate testing between COPD and control group. Chi square test applied to assess the frequency distribution of variables among each group. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare mean values of cognitive scores and Chi square test for number(%) of patients with abnormal scores in cognition and slow waves in EEG across groups with different severity of airflow obstruction (FEV1% Predicted). ResultsOncomparison of EEG slow wave, (rSO2) and (SpO2) among COPD and age matched control group, electroencephalographic(EEG) study in COPD group showed slower wave pattern than their age matched healthy counterpart which was statistically significant at p<0.001, so was true about rSO2 of right frontal region in the study group. Among the COPD groups with different severity (moderate, severe, and very severe grades), patients with severe and very severe airflow obstruction performed poorly with Folstein MMSE (statistically significant at p<0.001), more than 50 % of patients had abnormal scoring with CDT in all the three groups and with TMT-A in severe and very severe group. Conclusions:We found relative frontal hypoxemia and EEG slow wave in COPD group compared to healthy control. With severegrades of disease risk of cognitive impairment was noted. Thus, suggesting that low lung functioning may contribute to cognitive disorders by decreasing the oxygen delivery to brain neurons.

Published: August 2021

Poverty analysis studies in Ethiopia are dominated by measures determined by the subjectivity of the researchers and not with the involvement of households in understanding and measuring what is meant to the people. Studies conducted to take into considerations the knowledge of the poor are very scant and limited to rural participatory projects. This study is motivated to bridge the literature gap of comparing the objective measuring of poverty with a measure that accounts the perception of households about poverty. Hence, this study aims at examining rural household poverty and its determining factors using alternative poverty measurement approaches inGozamin district of East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Region. It used both objective and subjective based poverty analysis approaches, where the poverty line of the study area is estimated as 19.16 Birr per day using cost of basic needs approach. The study indicates that 35.12 % of the population lives under poverty and it is closely estimated as 33.33% using Participatory Poverty Assessment (PPA). Poverty is rampant and a sever challenge in Dega(cold) agro-ecology of the District, where 57.37% of the population lives under poverty compared to Kolla(hot), where it is down to 8.4%. Among others, family size and being in Kolla agro-ecology have significant negative effect on consumption expenditure, but positively affect poverty incidence, gap and severity, while access to credit, cooperative, health extension services and off-farm activities have significant but exactly opposite results. PPA findings revealed that, perception of the community towards poverty is beyond the conventional, income/consumption based definition. Therefore, development policies and poverty reduction strategies should emphasie on local level poverty understanding and measures.

Background: Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) have an increased prevalence ofdyslipidemia, which contributes to their high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). This study is an attempt to determine the correlation between hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) and serum lipid profile and to evaluate the importance of HbA1c as an indicator of dyslipidemia with Type II diabetes mellitus. Methods: The study had 240 participants between the age groups of 20-70 years included 80 males and 40 females in diabetic group whereas the control group included 78 males and 42 females. T.cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL were calculated by semi automated analyzer and LDL and VLDL were calculated by FriedewaldÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¢ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â€ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â™s Formula. HbA1c was measured by turbidMetric Method. Results: Data was represented as mean ÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â‚ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â± standard deviation or median with statistically significant values of T. Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, TGs and HbA1c (P< 0.001). There was a significant positive correlation between HbA1c, TC, TG, and LDL-C. Patients with HbA1c value greater than 7.0% had significantly higher value of cholesterol, LDL-C, and compared with patients with an HbA1c value up to 7.0%. Conclusion: Significant positive correlation of HbA1c with Lipid profiles in our study suggests that HbA1c can also be used as a predictor of dyslipidemia in addition to a glycemic control parameter for prevention of complication.
SOCIETAL INCARCERATION OF THE MARGINALISED : AN ANALYSIS OF TONI MORRISONSA MERCY
Authors:   Research Scholar, Department of English, Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad., Kouser Jabeen Syed
Published: August 2021

Incarcerationpertains to the limitations imposed upon a particular person. Social imprisonment on the other hand does not require a particular place in order to confine an individual or a group of people. Their conformity then turns out to become an injected-hobby. This study intends to explore the paths which Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison highlighted in her era, because they contain an impressive contemporariness. The social incarceration of the marginalised lot, particularly the subaltern among them has been her major arcana. Through a keen examination of the novel A Mercy, the paper attempts to put forward the contemporary relevance of the issues addressed. The practice of slave-trade was a visible imprisonment of the marginalised, while the current society dealing with the aphasia of neo-colonialism is in itself an extended form of indirect detention. Slave trade acted as a synonym for flesh trade in relation to the marginalised women who have thus been troubled by double-incarceration. Psychoanalysis has been used as a scale of measurement in order to trace the inner captivities of the victims. It is apprehensible that Toni Morrison as a writer justified her position of being an ambassador of the marginalised women while possessing important concurrent connotations. The study provides an insightful glimpse into the hidden beastliness of the contemporary incarceration. Be it direct or indirect suppression, visible or invisible restraints, the current is the ugliest growth of a tumour. Thus, the deadly foreordination of the conceptualisations present in her texts have turned out to become a realistic modern day practice.

Over the past two decade since the beginning of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) programme in india, there has been a significant increase in the number of schools and in the enrolment of children in Government schools, most notably a large proportion of children from amongst Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Muslims and Girls have joined the schooling system. Most of these children are also first-generation learners. In this regard SCERT Delhi conducted an achievement survey for classes II, V and VIII and gathered the information about the academic environment pertaining to school, teachers and students. This study reflected the background of the students such as locality, parents education, community and the same was followed of the teachers and schools. Majority of the sampled schools (71%) were managed by Municipal Corporation. More than 80% schools were located in urban areas and about half of the schools were Co-Educational, while 22% and 28% schools were Boys and Girls schools respectively. About 96% of schools responded that they have the provision to monitor classroom teaching regularly and 92% of the schools were monitored by the Head of the school. Fathers of 2% students and 0.6% mothers were in the academic field. In the surveyed schools, 28% were male and 72% were female teachers. Majority of teachers (54%) had attended in-service training programmes. In more than ninety percent of the sampled schools Maps, Charts, Globe, Mathematics kit and Library were available. About 90% and 98% of the schools annual medical check-up facility and first aid facilities were available Nearly 70% students reported that their homework was checked regularly. This document has helped education planners as a reference research document to improve the education administration and planning systems in the state.

Objectives: 1. to assess the perception towards online classes among nursing faculty. 2. To determine the association between perceptions towards online classes among nursing faculty with selected socio-demographic variables. Assumptions:Nursing faculty may have positive perception towards online classes. Conceptual Framework:Community of Inquiry Model has been used. Methodology: Quantitative research approach, a descriptive research design was used. 81 Samples were selected from the nursing colleges purposively. After obtaining the consent form, self- structured 5-point Likert scale has been sent to them in the form of Google Form to assess their level of perception towards online classes. The results of the study revealed that 76 (93.8%) nursing faculty had medium level of perception towards online classes and 05 (6.2%) nursing faculty had high perception towards online classes. The mean perception score were found to be 73.5ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â± 9.72 among nursing faculty. Conclusion: Nursing faculty had moderate level of perception towards online classes. It can become high if there will be the availability of proper sources to evaluate the students properly as well as to teach them theoretically and practically if pandemic persists.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the evaluation ofphysical and thermal properties of cementitious composites based on plant biomass (rice husks and palm tree fibers). Composites produced are cement mortars with total replacement of sand by aggregates of rice husks (B) or palm tree fibers (F). Three cement content (D1, D2 and D3) and two granulometries of biomass (coarse mixture and fine mixture) were used for the manufacturing of studied samples. After 28 days of curing, dry density, water absorption by capillarity and thermal conductivity of mortars were measured. The results show that dry density and thermal conductivity of composites increase with cement content while water absorption by capillarity decreases with an increase of cement content regardless of biomass size particle. In addition, thermal conductivity increases with dry density and decreases with water absorption by capillary. For all studied mixtures, composites based on palm tree fibers give better results (high dry density, low water absorption coefficient and low thermal conductivity) than those based on rice husks. The results also indicate that the replacement of sand by aggregates of rice husks or palm tree fibers in mortars is an interesting option to be considered to produce new materials with low thermal conductivities (less than 0.50 W/mK).
EXPLORINGTHE OPIOID PRESCRIBING PRACTICES OF GENERAL PRACTITIONERS (GPS) IN WEST AND SOUTH ESSEX, UK
Authors: Ugoh Edwin , Icheku Vincent
Published: August 2021

Introduction:The emerging evidence in recent studies shows that Opioid use and abuse have continued to grow at a significant rate, with fatal consequences. The evidence also indicates palpable apprehension and concern over the increasing opiate/ opioid prescription numbers by General Practitioners (GPs). This present study aims to explore the opioid prescribing practices of General Practitioners (GPs) in West and South Essex. The objectives are to answer the following questions: is an opiate prescription based on any available guideline? Is opioid prescribed primarily for pain management? How many times do the GPs prescribe opioids? How long are patients on pain prescription medications? Has the GPs attended training on the use of opioid for pain management? How many years has the GPs spent working as a practitioner? Finally, these researchers believe that answers to these question will add to the knowledge base towards improving the risk-benefit balance of prescribed opiates. Methods:A short self-questionnaire was sent to all GP practices in the South and West of Essex (n=25). There was a response rate of 80 per cent (20/25). Qualitative data from the questions were analysed using thematic analysis. In addition, nominal data were analysed using descriptive statistics to summarise the results. Results:The study found that most of the GPs who participated in the survey are experienced GPs, yet the majority are not complying with prescribing guidelineand thus, overprescribes opioid for pain management. Conclusion:The overprescribing practices of opioids by GPs are affected by an absence of robust guideline on managing chronic pain. Thus, we recommendcompliance with existing guideline and consultation on managing chronic pain over 16s to producea guideline on adult pain management.

Evidence from the past studies revealed that capital structure has an impact on the firm performance. This research appraises the impact of capital structure on the performance of quoted life insurance companies in Nigeria from 2010 to 2019. The researchers used the panel cointegration model, autoregressive dynamic lag error correction model and pair wise granger causality test to measure the relationship among the variables. The study revealed that capital structure and firm performance has a long-run relationshipand 81% long run disequilibrium is corrected within a year. It was also apparent that there is a significant short run relationship between liquidity of life insurance and return on asset. The Granger causality outcome also shows that bidirectional causality exists between firm size (SIZE) and profitability (ROA) in the short run. We conclude that a large size of life insurance firm has more scope to make more profit in Nigeria context within the study period. The study recommended that to maximize firmÃƒÂƒÃ‚Â¢ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â€ÃƒÂ‚Ã‚Â™s performance managers must endeavor to obtain and maintain an optimum capital structure level among others.
