Understanding and Reducing NEET: Perspectives of Schoolteachers and Career Advice Service Providers
Authors: Holliman Andrew , Schoon Ingrid , Hurry Jane , Waldeck Daniel
Published: April 2023

There are growing concerns about the number of children and young people who are “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” (NEET). The literature suggests that further research is warranted to help understand what can be done to reduce the number of pupils at risk of NEET, to enable a successful transition into education, employment, or training. In this study, the views of schoolteachers (who provide careers support in schools and make NEET referrals) and career advice service providers (who receive NEET referrals from schoolteachers) are gauged to gain better insight regarding existing careers provision in schools and the efficacy of NEET referral processes. Using a qualitative interview approach, two schoolteachers from the West Midlands (UK) and three career advice service providers were recruited for the study. Thematic analysis of the interviews with schoolteachers identified four superordinate themes: Pupil Contact and Support; A Whole-School Approach to Careers Guidance; Broadening Horizons and Creating Opportunities; NEET Identification and Referral: When, How, and What Happens Next? The interviews with career advice service providers distinguished three superordinate themes: Navigating a Dynamic Landscape; Integration and Affiliation with Schools; Reaching Pupils at Risk of NEET. Taken together, the findings indicate that providing improved and continued communication, collaboration, and coordination of different services appear to be key leverages to address the multiple service needs of young people at risk.

The introduction of remote monitoring of the health status of patients is one of the priorities of the national project «Healthcare», provided for by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 204 dated May 7, 2018 «On national goals and strategic objectives for the development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2024», as well as one of the key measures for the modernization of primary health care, presented by the Ministry of Health of Russia to the President of the Russian Federation V. V. Putin. Purpose of the study: To develop, scientifically substantiate an information model for remote monitoring of the motor regime and evaluate its therapeutic effectiveness in terms of the dynamics of the main physiological parameters of patients with chronic coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction (I25.2 according to ICD-10) and patients with a condition after COVID-19 (U09.9 according to ICD-10) in a round-the-clock inpatient rehabilitation center. To control and evaluate the ongoing medical rehabilitation programs, the concepts of the recommended «zone of intensity of motor physical activity» and «motor density of rehabilitation measures» are introduced, calculated by the ratio of the total time of daytime wakefulness to the time spent on active physical rehabilitation procedures, which should become the central axis of building rehabilitation and spa programs. Results. The DM software and hardware complex has a wide range of functions and an intuitive interface. It is easy to use, both for the attending physician and for patients. Nevertheless, for the wide distribution of this technology in the Russian Federation, it is recommended to switch to the use of hardware equipment and smart watch devices from a domestic manufacturer. Conclusion. The software package DM of the motor mode and the main physiological parameters of patients has demonstrated the possibility of its use in medical practice for patients at the 2nd stage of medical rehabilitation in a round-the-clock hospital and sanatorium.

Authors: Bernard Mathilde
Published: April 2023

This article focuses on the St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre during which murderers entered people’s homes to the effect of looting, one of the neglected motives of the violent event. However, the few objects that feature in the accounts of contemporary historians, notably Simon Goulart’s, provide us with more information about the author’s intentions than about the Louvre artisans’ actual interiors. Seen through the lens of the memoir writer, these objects tend to acquire a mainly symbolic value.

«Maudite musique, instruments profanes qui nous font offenser Dieu». Une plaidoirie contre un maître baladin à Nîmes en 1605
Authors: Chareyre Philippe
Published: April 2023

The plea of the third consul of Nîmes, accused in 1605 of breaking a violin, is an opportunity for the lawyer Anne Rulman to discuss the place of music and dance in a Protestant city. Relying on the theory of music, he justifies the ability of the elites, through their humanist education impregnated with neo-Stoicism, to distinguish between “divine” and “accursed” music, and thus their desire to free themselves from an ecclesiastical discipline intended to maintain order among the population.

Published: April 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of anthocyanin on oxidative stress, sperm, and testis structure in diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Materials and Methods: In this experimental research, diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (50 mg/ kg). A total of 64 rats were assigned into four groups as follows: a control group, a diabetic control group, a diabetic group daily administrated with anthocyanin at a dose of 100 mg/kg, and a healthy group daily administrated with anthocyanin for 56 days. After intervention, all the rats were anesthetized, their blood samples were taken, and the serum levels of insulin, glucose, and oxidative stress markers were measured. Finally, the testicles were removed and histological parameters were assessed. Results: Treating diabetic rats with anthocyanin significantly improved the testis tissue damage, glucose, and insulin plasma levels (P=0.001). Furthermore, the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was up-surged and the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were reduced (P=0.001). Also, anthocyanin administration (100 mg/kg BW) significantly rectified these parameters (P<0.05). Conclusions: Our results confirmed the antioxidant role of anthocyanin in improving the sperm parameters and testicular oxidative damage caused by diabetes.
How Mobility of Resistance Determinants Affects the Dissemination of Antimicrobial Resistance?
Authors: Adesola Ridwan Olamilekan
Published: April 2023

Antibiotic resistance is primarily propagated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs) around the world. As a result, antibiotic resistance genes can be found in a wide spectrum of environmental microorganisms. Environmental bacteria are not resistant to all antibiotics now accessible, despite long histories of antibiotic development and exposure. As a result, obtaining a complete resistance arsenal will be challenging. The goal of this study is to look at how the mobility of resistance determinants influences antimicrobial resistance spread. The sources, distribution, and development of resistance mechanisms in various microorganisms and bacterial populations are mosaic features that act as barriers to the spread of bacterial pan-resistance. This is critical information for a better understanding of the genesis of resistance in hazardous bacteria, which could lead to improved antibiotic therapy and the creation of new medications.
Antimicrobial Resistance in Cholera: A Need for Quick Intervention in Nigeria, West Africa
Authors: Abdulrahim Abdulrakib , Adesola Ridwan Olamilekan
Published: April 2023

Following the discovery and identification of Vibrio cholerae, cholera disease continues to be a burden on the global community, including Nigeria. In this article, we provide an inclusive review on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in cholera and the need for its quick interventions. Cholera spread over Asia and other continents, majorly because of poor hygiene practises since 1817, and still exists. This agent secretes a toxin called cholera toxin (CT) after ingestion of contaminated water and/or food, which adheres to the cells in the intestinal epithelial, leading to symptoms such as watery diarrhea, fever, and even death if not treated. Many antimicrobials such as tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, and ampicillin, previously effective in cholera therapy, are now reported ineffective due to emerging and developing AMR strains of V. cholerae. AMR in cholera continues to be a major public health concern. Various outbreaks have been reported in Nigeria since the 1970s. This is as a result of the acquisition of resistance genes and/or mutation. Also, irrational usage of antibiotics by people. Promising approaches such as probiotics, vaccines, phage therapy, provision of safe water and proper hygiene are ways to avert the outbreak of cholera and resistant strains in Nigeria.
Black Americans’ Diminished Health Returns of Employment During COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ayoubian Ali , Najand Babak , Assari Shervin
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Employment is a major social determinant of health (SDoH) and core socioeconomic status (SES) indicator. This study used a nationally representative sample of American adults to test the association between employment and self-rated health (SRH) overall and by race. Methods: Using data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 2020) Cycle 4, this analysis included 1403 individuals including 1109 (79%) non-Latinx White and 294 (21%) non-Latinx Black participants. The dependent variable was SRH, the independent variable was employment, and age, sex, marital status, education, and income were the covariates. Race was the moderator. Results: Employment was associated with better SRH overall. A significant statistical interaction reflected racial differences in the effect of employment (above and beyond education and income) on SRH by race. The protective health effects of employment on SRH were weaker for non-Latinx Black than non-Latinx White individuals. Conclusion: The association between employment and SRH varies across racial groups, and this difference can also be seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. Diminished health returns of SES indicators such as employment in non-Latinx Black individuals compared to non-Latinx White people may reflect some additional health risk for middle-class non-Latinx Black communities in the US. Sustainability of marginalization-related diminished returns (MDRs), defined as weaker effects of social determinants and resources such as employment on health outcomes for marginalized than privileged social groups, is another risk for underserved populations during pandemics. These MDRs that reflect systemic inequalities may hinder our efforts to secure equality during pandemics.

A személyre jellemző flexibilitás pontozásának háromfokú skálát alkalmazó módszere
Authors: Mező Ferenc , Mező Katalin
Published: April 2023

A „flexibilitás” egyfajta kreativitási változó, amelynek tesztelése nehéz, mert konceptualizálása és operacionalizálása a tesztek készítőinek és felhasználóinak szubjektív döntéseitől függ. Ilyen döntések például: a) A teszt a flexibilitásra összpontosít-e vagy sem?; b) Milyen kategóriarendszert alkalmazunk a flexibilitás pontozásakor (megjegyzés: a flexibilitás pontozása esetén a tesztelőknek meg kell számolniuk, hogy a válaszok hány fogalmi kategóriába sorolhatók)?; c) Milyen módszert alkalmazunk a flexibilitás pontozására? Jelen tanulmány ezeket a problémákat mutatja be, és egy új skálát (az Xo- változót) javasol egy személy rugalmasságának értékelésére.

Do território ao território usado: possibilidades entreabertas na ciência geográfica
Authors: Oliveira de Jesus Marcus Henrique , Carvalho Vilar José Wellington
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma discussão sobre as transformações teóricas e conceituais realizadas pelo conceito de território até a sua renovação proposta por Milton Santos (2000), na qual se desenvolve enquanto categoria capaz de realizar uma análise totalizante e a um só tempo, comporta uma crítica ao planejamento intersetorial que não contempla o espaço como instância social onde convivem e coexistem todos, tanto agentes hegemônicos quanto hegemonizados. Para a realização desta reflexão foi executado como procedimento metodológico o levantamento bibliográfico levando em consideração as principais contribuições para o desenvolvimento epistemológico do conceito de território no Brasil. Considera-se que a contribuição da categoria território usado de Santos (2000) resgata o papel ativo da Geografia como ciência capaz de propor projetos nacionais e fazer uma crítica contundente sobre as desigualdades socioespaciais, bem como subsidiar uma ação de planejamento que considere o espaço com sua diversidade de agentes coexistindo simultaneamente.
relativismo totalitário?
Authors: Chagas Dante Alexandre Ribeiro das , Almeida Philippe Oliveira de
Published: April 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o espaço ocupado pelos "direitos do homem" no sistema filosófico de Alfred Rosenberg. No Pós-Guerra, muitos autores - como Hannah Arendt, Hans Kelsen e Karl Popper - argumentaram que o totalitarismo político seria uma consequência do "totalitarismo filosófico", isto é, da tentativa de criar um modelo teórico capaz de abarcar todas as esferas da existência humana. O culto ocidental à razão teria conduzido a Europa ao fascismo, rejeitando o pluralismo e a diversidade cultural. Contudo, nenhum dos autores que desenvolveram essa abordagem se ocuparam de uma análise aprofundada da filosofia produzida por intelectuais nazistas, durante o Terceiro Reich. É preciso questionar como filósofos nazistas compreendiam o humanismo, o racionalismo, e a tensão entre universalismo e relativismo cultural. A leitura dos escritos de Rosenberg — o mais influente filósofo da Alemanha nazista — refuta a tese segundo a qual o totalitarismo derivaria da pretensão universalizante do pensamento ocidental. Rosenberg é relativista e antiintelectualista, e sua defesa teórica do nazismo se desenvolve a partir de uma crítica aos "direitos humanos" e, de forma geral, à busca filosófica por categorias metaempíricas que poderiam funcionar como referência para toda a humanidade.

"Industrial utilization of waste paper in the production of a new one is increasing globally. Currently, the pulp and paper industry is one of the largest consumers of wood. Based on the demand, due to global economic growth, an increasing number of trees are harvested each year, also leading to increased amounts of wastes and pollutants, which represent a serious hazard for the environment. Chemical agents, such as sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, sodium carbonate, diethylenetriaminepentacetic acid, sodium silicate and surfactants, are used in large quantities by paper industries as part of the conventional methods of deinking waste paper, leading to the need to apply expensive wastewater treatments in order to meet environmental regulations. On the other hand, enzymes, such as cellulase, lipase, xylanase, pectinase, hemicellulase, amylase and esterase, can substitute conventional chemical methods of deinking waste papers. These enzymes have been reported to be environmentally friendly, as compared to the chemicals involved in conventional methods. Several decades ago, it was established that microbial enzymes might be useful in the processing of paper, since it is composed of natural polymers, such as cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. However, despite their enormous potential, the industrial use of these enzymes is still limited, being affected by lack of microbial strains capable of generating a high amount of alkaline cellulase. This paper provides an insight into recent research performed with the objectives of optimizing alkaline cellulase enzymes production and applying them in pulp and paper processes."

"In the present work, various surface treatments of base paper were investigated in order to make it suitable for application in printed electronics. A functional coating based on silica pigment was preceded by PVOH-containing precoating, and differently surface treated papers were characterized in terms of surface roughness, relative area of surface pores, wettability, printability and by FTIR spectroscopy. The precoating had a significant effect on the constriction of through-pores, the reduction of their number, and on the permeability of the functional coating, and it increased the dynamic contact angle of the liquids. Analysis of FTIR spectra of precoated and functionally coated paper confirmed a higher content of polyvinyl alcohol binder and cationic polymer in the functional coating, compared to that of functionally coated paper, without precoating. SEM analysis showed that the silver layer of the RFID antenna printed by inkjet on the precoated and functionally coated paper was continuous. Better printability of the precoated and functionally coated paper, compared to the functionally coated paper, without precoating, was also confirmed by higher electrical conductivity of the dipole of the RFID antenna, which reached the level of the antenna printed on a commercial inkjet PET film."

"The study aimed to estimate the influence of temperature, time, and ultrasound application during desizing and scouring of cotton with -amylase and pectinase, respectively, on the weight loss, breaking force and color difference between raw and bio-scoured cotton, to obtain purified and hydrophilic cotton, with a simultaneous slight decrease in mechanical properties. Under the optimal conditions, determined by the application of Response Surface Methodology (time – 30 min, temperature – 59.4 °C, with ultrasound treatment), a weight loss of 4.97%, color difference of 3.86, and a breaking force of 730.22N were obtained. The bio-scoured cotton fabric was also characterized in terms of electrokinetic and sorption properties, chemical composition and morphology of the cotton surface by zeta-potential measurement, wicking and contact angle determination, FTIR and SEM characterization, respectively. The developed enzymatic scouring process leads to obtaining purified, whiter and hydrophilic cotton, with slight changes in mechanical properties, which makes bio-scoured cotton fabric suitable for further wet processing."

"The development of novel routes for the production of functional textiles is an urgent need. Natural dyes are a safe and sustainable choice for the colouration of textiles. To achieve the colouration of textiles with natural dyes, mordanting methods have been highly explored; the present work targets the functional natural dyeing of cotton by the in-situ development of azoic dye. The paper discusses a new application approach of a novel natural dye (derived from conical prickles of Bombax ceiba bark) to cotton using mosquito repellent ethyl anthranilate. The dye obtained from the extract of Bombax ceiba bark conical prickles (CPBCE) was further converted into azoic dye by reacting it with diazotised ethyl anthranilate. The developed coloured cotton fabric was endowed with mosquito repellence, antibacterial action, and UV protection. The colouration properties and fastness of dyed samples were examined using standard methods. Moreover, the dyed samples were also characterised using TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis. Thus, 100% mosquito repellent properties, good antibacterial protection, and excellent UV protection were imparted to cotton."

Spin–orbit torque magnetic random-access memory exhibits great potential for next-generation memory. Annealing is an essential process for SOT magnetic tunnel junctions (SOT-MTJs) thin films. To optimize the SOT-MTJ thin films, studying the different dimensions from micro-size to nano-size is very necessary. Here, we investigate the annealing effect on magneto-electric properties of micro-scaled and nano-scaled SOT-MTJs. The tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) and critical current density (J
c) increase after annealing, attributing to the improved crystallization of CoFeB layers and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), respectively. However, the TMR increment of micro-scaled SOT-MTJ is larger than that in nano-scale, due to the reduced defects of micro-scaled SOT-MTJs by annealing. Additionally, the J
c of nano-scaled SOT-MTJ is decoupled from that of micro-scaled SOT-MTJ because of the improved PMA and diminished thermal effect. This work assesses the different annealing effects in micro- and nano-sized dimensions and supplies experiment foundations to optimize the performance of SOT-MTJs.

The Ru etching mechanism was investigated using O2/Cl2 plasma with O, ClO, and Cl radicals. The etch rate drastically increased with a 10%–20% addition of Cl2 to O2 and was lower when using pure O2 or Cl2-rich gas in an ECR etcher. Experimental results indicate that chemical reactions involving Cl-based radicals contributed to the etching reactions. The chemical role of the Cl-based radicals was investigated by density functional theory simulations. The hypothesis tested was that O, ClO, and Cl adsorb on the RuO2 surface when it is irradiated with O-rich plasma. The reactivities of the topmost Ru atoms, where O, ClO, and Cl adsorbed, were compared in terms of the d-band structures. The ClO and Cl were found to enhance the reactivity of the Ru atoms more than O. These findings suggest that Cl-based radicals activate surface Ru atoms, resulting in the formation of volatile RuO4 or RuCl

Įvadas. 2014 metais Lietuvoje pradėta institucinės glo­bos pertvarka, kuria siekiama institucinę globą pakeisti neįgaliesiems skirtomis paslaugomis, teikiamomis ben­druomenėse, taip prisitaikant prie neįgaliųjų poreikių. Šio tyrimo tikslas – įvertinti psichosocialinę negalią turinčių asmenų artimųjų nuomonę apie neįgaliesiems teikiamų socialinių paslaugų atitikimą neįgaliųjų poreikius.

Medžiaga ir metodai. 2016 ir 2019 metais atlikti du pa­plitimo tyrimai, kurių tikslinė grupė buvo psichikos ir elgesio sutrikimų sukeliamą negalią turinčių asmenų ar­timieji Lietuvoje. Atitinkamai dalyvavo 334 ir 391 psi­chikos negalią turinčių asmenų artimieji. Nuomonė apie neįgaliesiems teikiamų socialinių paslaugų atitikimą ne­įgaliųjų poreikius vertinta taikant anoniminės anketinės apklausos metodą. Respondentų nuomonė apie paslaugas vertinta atsižvelgiant į tiriamųjų socialines ir demogra­fines charakteristikas.

Rezultatai. Dauguma (73,5%) tyrimo dalyvių abiejų ap­klausų metu nurodė, jog geriausiai neįgaliųjų poreikiai tenkinami dienos užimtumo centruose. Taip dažniau manė žemesnį išsimokslinimą įgiję asmenys (68,2% prieš 78,4%, p=0,003). Didesnė aukštesnį išsimokslinimą įgi­jusių respondentų dalis manė, jog neįgaliųjų poreikiai geriausiai tenkinami grupinio (savarankiško) gyvenimo namuose (19,9% prieš 11,2%, p=0,002). Respondentai, gyvenantys didmiesčiuose, moterys, įgiję aukštesnį iš­simokslinimą, neįgaliųjų tėvai, dažniau manė, jog ge­riausiai neįgaliųjų poreikius atitinka laikinojo atokvėpio paslaugos (atitinkamai, 37,4% prieš 26,8%, 31,0% prieš 14,0%, 36,1% prieš 21,3%, 30,3% prieš 20,0%, p<0,05). Respondentų amžius, užimtumas, šeiminė padėtis, gy­venamosios vietos tipas, pajamos bei negalią turinčių artimųjų lytis nebuvo susiję su nuomonės apie paslaugų atitikimą neįgaliųjų poreikius skirtumais (p>0,05).

Išvados. Trys ketvirtadaliai psichikos negalią turinčių as­menų artimųjų manė, kad geriausiai jų neįgalių artimųjų poreikiai atliepiami dienos užimtumo centruose, tačiau nuomonės skirtumai skirtingose respondentų socialinėse ir demografinėse grupėse gali būti susiję su paslaugų prieinamumo bei informuotumo apie teikiamas paslau­gas ypatumais.

Published: April 2023

Vykstantys neramumai, didėjanti migracija bei globali­zacija padidino daugelio tautų kultūrinę įvairovę. Įvairių tautybių žmonės susiformavę skirtingą požiūrį į sveikatą, ligą, skirtingus sveikatos poreikius ar lūkesčius. Slaugy­tojai turi prisitaikyti prie kultūrinės įvairovės augimo, tobulinti tarpkultūrinės kompetencijos įgūdžius, gilinti kultūrines žinias ir įgūdžius, ugdyti kultūrinį jautrumą, kad galėtų parengti ir taikyti į pacientą orientuotą ir kul­tūriškai pritaikytą slaugos planą pacientams, nepaisant jų kultūrinių, etninių, religinių ar kitokių skirtumų.

Tyrimo tikslas – išanalizuoti kultūrinę kompetenciją tei­kiant slaugos paslaugas pacientams.

Metodai. Mokslinės literatūros paieška atlikta PubMed, Google Scholar duomenų bazėse. Pagal atrankos kriteri­jus buvo atrinktos 25 viso teksto publikacijos, atitinkan­čios tyrimo temą. Atlikta tiriamoji mokslinės literatūros apžvalga ir analizė.

Rezultatai. Kultūrinės kompetencijos žinių srityje daž­niausiai naudojamos tokios sąvokos kaip kultūrinis są­moningumas, kultūros žinios, kultūrinis jautrumas, kul­tūriniai įgūdžiai, kurios yra svarbios teikiant slaugos paslaugas kitų kultūrų pacientams. Daugelio pacientų įsitikinimus, elgseną, susijusią su sveikata ir liga, nulemia jų kultūrinės vertybės. Pacientai, nepriklausomai nuo ra­sės, religijos, įsitikinimų, vertybių ar tikėjimo, turi gauti kokybiškas slaugos paslaugas. Slaugytojas privalo būti kultūriškai išprusęs, suvokti skirtingų kultūrinių pagrindų pacientų įsitikinimus apie sveikatą ir ligą, gebėti nusta­tyti slaugos poreikius, nes tai turi įtakos ne tik teikiamų sveikatos priežiūros paslaugų kokybei, bet ir paslaugų gavėjo – paciento sveikatai.

Published: April 2023

Background:Breast carcinoma is a common disease among females in the world. There is a correlation between carcinoma and hypercoagulation.
In a cancer state, there is an increase in the level of cross-linked brin degradation product (d-dimer) which indicates systemic activation of
brinolysis and hemostasis. So, there is a relation between an increase in d-dimer value and breast carcinoma. Aims and Objectives: This study
was done in an attempt to evaluate the role of D-dimer in patients with carcinoma breast, in predicting lymph node metastasis in carcinoma patients
and to look for the relationship of these markers with histopathologic parameters. Patients and methods: A prospective study was done in
Narayana medical college (department of surgery) from Jan 2022 to Jan 2023. Forty-three breast carcinoma patients were included in the study
after FNAC/core needle biopsy conrmation. Plasma d-dimer levels compared with (tumor size, stage, grade, lymphovascular invasion, and lymph
node involvement). Results: D-dimer level was increasing in breast carcinoma with enlarged tumor size, high stage, grade, lymphovascular
invasion, and lymph node involvement. Conclusion: Plasma D-dimer levels are elevated in breast cancer, especially in an advanced stage. It is an
important marker of clinical stage progression, lymphovascular invasion, and metastasis So pre-operative plasma D-dimer level is a safe, costeffective, and convenient method for the prediction of advanced-stage breast cancer

Introduction- The formation of a bezoar is a relatively rare disease entity. Bezoars are mainly of four types depending on their composition:
phytobezoars, trichobezoars, pharmacobezoars, and lactobezoars. Depending on their location in gastrointestinal tract they are classied intoGastric bezoars which often lead to ulcerative lesions in the stomach and subsequent bleeding, and theSmall intestinal bezoars which usually
present with small bowel obstruction. Xray abdomen and USG abdomen are less s Diagnosis – ensitive to diagnose bezoars while GI endoscopy and
CT scan abdomen better modalities to make a diagnosis of bezoars. A number of a Management- rticles have emphasized the usefulness of CocaCola administration for the dissolution of phytobezoars. However, persimmon phytobezoars are resistant to such dissolution because of their
harder consistency.Cellulase and Papain are used to dissolve bezoars. Endoscopic removal, electro-hydrolytic lithotripsy, argon plasma
coagulation are a few newer techniques used. Surgical removal of bezoars, both open and laparoscopically are performed if dissolution methods
and endoscopic methods fail. Here we provide an overview of the prevalence, classication, predisposing factors, clinical features,diagnosis and
management with review and recent updates

Background: Dermatobrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare monoclonal cutaneous soft tissue sarcoma, an intermediate grade neoplasm. A
massive size DFSP diagnosed in scalp region is a rare nding to come across. It typically involves the trunk and proximal extremities; rarely head
and neck. It mostly occurs in second and fth decade of life, more common in men than women. DFSP grows in a locally aggressive manner and has
an increased propensity for local recurrence. The optimal treatment modality for dermatobrosarcoma protuberans is wide excision of neoplasm.
Other treatment modalities such radiotherapy and certain systemic therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors can be used under special
circumstances. A 50-year-old male presented with a massive swelling over Case Description: his scalp undergoes wide excision of tumor.
Conclusion: DFSP in the head and neck region is characterised by a slow-growing pattern, locally aggressive in nature with high recurrence rates,
and low malignant potential. This case is a unique presentation of massive DFSP of scalp

We study a non-trivial generalized $m$-quasi Einstein manifold $M$ with finite $m$ and associated divergence-free affine Killing vector field, and show that $M$ reduces to an $m$-quasi Einstein manifold. In addition, if $M$ is complete, then it splits as the product of a line and an $(n-1)$-dimensional negatively Einstein manifold. Finally, we show that the same result holds for a complete non-trivial $m$-quasi Einstein manifold $M$ with finite $m$ and associated affine Killing vector field.

Authors: - Ms. Jaya Sharma , - Dr Kamaljeet Kaur
Published: April 2023

The New Education Policy (NEP) was announced by the Government of India in 2020. Amidst the global pandemic, this new initiative by the Government came as a welcoming change as it unfolded several new changes to the conventional education system and promised quality education to all prospects, ensuring a continuous ascent of the country. Of course, when the NEP was first introduced by the officials, it came across as a surprise for the entire nation, considering no one was expecting it amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. However, the outlines introduced with this new policy seemed revolutionary and promised equal education opportunities to students across schools and colleges. This paper outlines the significance of the NEP, its salient features, and how it has affected the traditional education system.
