Authors: Singh Digvijay , Kumar Niranjan Sunil
Published: July 2022

Foreign capital plays an important role in the development of developing countries whose domestic capital is not sufficient to fulfill their domestic requirements. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is an important part of the foreign capital which fills this gap in the domestic savings and thus plays a crucial role in the developmental process. This paper tries to analyze the trends of foreign Direct Inflows in India during the period 2000-01 to 2020-21. Our analysis shows a sharp rise in the FDI inflows in India during the chosen study period which is the period after a decade of economic reforms in India. However, the study shows some fluctuations in the FDI inflows which have been analyzed in the paper.

Authors: Bucker Park
Published: July 2022

Thornton Wilder’s 1931 one-act play The Long Christmas Dinner presents several challenges in staging. This article records the experiences of a student production— from early rehearsal through performance—mounted at the University of South Carolina Sumter. The production also included Wilder’s other 1931 one-act The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden. The article describes how the production handled the allegorical portals of birth and death in The Long Christmas Dinner, and how the production endeavored to communicate the play’s compression of 150 years of family dinners into a thirty-minute performance. It describes the production’s innovative techniques which replicated the play’s sound effects and stage movement.

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship and differences in salivary Tgfβ1 levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and primary hypertension (PH) with dental caries patients. Salivary TGFβ1 levels of patients with T2DM & Caries, PH with dental caries were 577.85 pg/ml (0.042) and 386.3894 pg/ml (0.024). Then continued with testing the effect of TGFβ1 on T2DM and PH patients with dental caries, namely T2DM patients (p. 0.042) and PH patients (p. 0.024). This shows that there is a significant effect between salivary TGFβ1 levels of T2DM and PH patients on dental caries. Likewise, it was found that there was a significant difference between T2DM and PH in dental caries by looking at the average value of salivary TGFβ1 on PH was 386,3894pg/mL while salivary TGFβ1 on T2D was 577,8546pg/mL. It can also be seen from the standard deviation value of T2DM deviation is 173.04621, while HTP is 95.93092. There is associated and difference of Salivary TGFβ1 levels of patients with T2DM and PH at the age of 18-40 years with dental caries. The higher the salivary TGFβ1 level, the higher the risk of dental caries.

Household accounting is an important aspect of financial sustainability. Every family must be accountable for their finances and ensure proper bookkeeping tendencies for several reasons. The objectives of this research were: 1) to study household accounting according to sufficiency economy philosophy in rural village, northeastern region of Thailand. 2) to study the correlation between personal factors and household finances based on the sufficiency economy philosophy. The sample group was 173 people from the village. The research instrument was a questionnaire, data analysis tools were descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (T-test and one-way ANOVA). Results of this study showed household financial management could help survive through an economic crisis (during the COVID-19 pandemic) with the highest level followed by fundamentals of sustainability and rural villager's knowledge in accounting aspect was at the middle level at statistically significant 0.5, the population with different factors in age, occupation, education, and a family member had an impact on household accounting and the population with different factors in gender and marital status had no impact on household accounting based sufficiency economic philosophy. In conclusion, rural villagers are poorly informed about financial management, which explains the poor financial sustainability in those areas.

Published: July 2022

Background: The purpose of the current study was to analyze and compare the effects of the PowerScope Appliance and the Carriere Distalizer Appliance in the treatment of Class II malocclusion. Twenty patients aged 14 to 18, with Angle Class II Division 1 malocclusion and showed for therapy with fixed functional equipment, were divided into two groups. (n1=10) for the PowerScope Appliance (American Orthodontics, Sheboygan, Wis.) and (n2=10) for the Carriere Distalizer Appliance (Henry Schein company, New York, USA). Cephalometric analysis was performed on pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalogram. PowerScope and Carriere Distalizer appliances' skeletal and dentoalveolar effects were compared. Secondary outcomes included patient comfort and operator convenience. The PowerScope device restricted maxillary development while allowing substantial mandibular expansion, whereas the Carriere Distalizer did not cause any statistically significant correction in the skeletal component. There was no difference in treatment time seen with either appliance. There was no difference in treatment time seen with either appliance. Conclusions:The PowerScope appliance effectively corrects Class II Division 1 malocclusion in adolescent patients by promoting anterior maxillary displacement restriction with considerable forward mandibular repositioning, which minimizes both skeletal and soft tissue profile convexities.

Type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common type of diabetes; it is characterized by hyperglycemia in the presence of hyperinsulinemia which is produced from beta cell insulin secretory malfunction and insulin resistance. This study was designed as a case-control study and was constructed to study the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on lipoprotein lipase and Apo lipoprotein C2 levels among lipid profiles in type 2 diabetes. The patient's ages ranged from (40-60) years. The serum sample of all groups was collected and used to measure the level of lipoprotein lipase and Apo lipoprotein C2 by using the ELISA method and to measure lipid profile by spectrophotometer technique. All samples were collected from Merjan Medical City at Babylon/ Hilla city. The study revealed that there was a significant decrease in the levels of lipoprotein lipase in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with the control group ( P < 0.001), also there was a significant increase in the levels of Apo lipoprotein C2 in the patient’s group compared with the control group ( P= 0.02).

Published: July 2022

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (Type 2DM) is chronic, lifelong progressive metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia due to absolute or relative insulinopaenia. The metabolic dysregulation that contributes to hyperglycaemia includes diminished insulin secretion, impaired glucose utilization or increased glucose production, and eventually causes pathophysiological changes in multiple organs and organ systems. Our study showed Sitagliptin was superior in reducing HOMA-IR when compared with metformin. If combination of Sitagliptin and metformin is used far superior reduction will be achieved on HOMA- IR. Limitation of our study was short duration of study and small sample size.

Published: July 2022

Background: Patients with Diabetes Mellitus are more prone to Urinary tract infection (UTI) than non-diabetic patients. Diabetes Mellitus has certain negative effects on the genital system and increases the incidence of urinary tract infection in diabetic patients. Design: Record based retrospective study. Methods:  Records of patients with type-II diabetes having symptoms of UTI were reviewed from August 2021 to January 2022.  Result: Out of 210 diabetic patients, the UTI rate was higher in females 59% than male 41%. The most common agents for causing UTI were E.coli followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., Candida albicans and Candida non-albicans, Enterococcus, S.aureus and other organisms. About 70.68% Gram-negative isolates were resistant against ampicillin, 75.17% resistant against gentamycin, and 48.16% resistant against amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Gram-positive isolates were 83.33% resistant against penicillin and 83.33% resistant against ciprofloxacin. However, both gram-negative and gram-positive were susceptible to nitrofurantoin. The overall multidrug resistance was observed in 201 out of 210 (95.71%) bacterial and candiduria isolates, while 3.33% of the isolates were resistant to one only antibiotic. Conclusion: Most common etiological agent is E.coli with high drug resistance to ampicillin and susceptible to nitrofurantoin. Therefore, performing urine culture and regular monitoring of UTI is essential.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is a disruptive behavioural disorder in which a child displays a pattern of an angry mood, defiant or combative behaviour, and vindictiveness toward people in authority. The child's behaviour often disrupts their daily routine, including activities within the family and at school. An 18-year-old male reported in the Out Patient Department with symptoms of anger and vindictiveness. The consultant psychiatrist diagnosed it as a case of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Disruptive Behaviour Disorder Rating Scale (DBDRS) – ODD items was used to assess the severity of the disease. Modified Naranjo Criteria was used to assess whether the changes were likely to be associated with the homoeopathic intervention. Overall improvement was noticed clinically. DBDRS score was 22 at the time of admission. Sepia 200 was selected as the individualized homeopathic medicine. His symptoms got improved and he was discharged. DBDRS score was reduced to 0 at the end of 16 months. Individualized homoeopathic treatment has shown a positive role for the management and treatment of disruptive behavioural disorder.

Issues of fundamental procedural rights and procedural constitutionality in the Fundamental Law
Authors: Patyi András
Published: July 2022

The Fundamental Law of Hungary entered into force on 1 January 2012, introducing several new constitutional rights, one of it is the right to fair administrative procedure. This paper aims to present a comprehensive analysis of that new constitutional right. The first part of the study is devoted to explain the legal background and the constitutional tradition behind the right to fair procedure (by authorities). We should note that Constitutional Court’s decisions had already specifically affected legal regulations of a procedural nature before the declaration of the fundamental right to fair procedure. These decisions – examined in the paper – have been pivotal for Hungary’s legal system and procedural law. Secondly, the current practice of the realization of the right to fair administrative procedure is presented. Through the Constitutional Court’s practice, we also describe the partial rights/authorizations of this fundamental right. Finally, the right to legal remedy and to fair judicial procedure are analysed in detail.

Sensory Integration, Description Features
Authors:   National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia International Scientific-Educational Center, Avetisyan Mariana
Published: July 2022

The article describes the problem of "sensory integration", the need to study it, the peculiarities of its manifestation. Sensory integration is the regulation of emotions, which must then be applied in some way. Emotions give us information about the physical state of the world around us and the body. Every second, sensory information reaches our brain through five senses, the corresponding receptors. The vestibular system's work is very important, too; it helps a person perceive his own body in space. By integration we mean the organization of something. To integrate means to assemble or organize different parts into one whole. When something is integrated, its various parts work in an organized way as a whole. The central nervous system and brain is designed to be able to organize a myriad of sensory information into a complete system [1].

Pregnancy and lactation are usual but stressful physiological conditions accompanied by changes in calcium and phosphate metabolism and their regulatory hormones which may lead to calcium-related disorders in pregnant women. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in serum levels of calcium, phosphate, vitamin D and their regulatory hormones in pregnant and lactating women in Zaria, Nigeria. A cross‑sectional descriptive study was conducted at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria for three (3) months. Blood samples were collected, anthropometric measurements (weight, height and body mass index) of 179 women were taken. Serum calcium, phosphate, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin were determined using standard methods. Data were presented as mean ± SD, analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation analysis. Values were considered significant at p ≤ 0.05. There was a significant decrease in serum calcium concentration (p < 0.01) during the third trimester of pregnancy and lactation. An increase in serum concentration of vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin in the 2nd trimester and a decrease during the third trimester and lactation although not statistically significant when compared with the control. There was a negative correlation between serum calcium concentration and gestational age (r = 0.255) while no correlation between gestational age and serum phosphate concentration. Changes in serum calcium, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin during pregnancy and lactation has been demonstrated suggesting a relationship between calcium metabolism and these hormones at some stages of pregnancy
Influence of Annona muricata (Soursop) on Colorectal Tissues of Wistar Rats.
Authors: Olubodun Stella  Oghomwen , Agu Kingsley Chukwunonso
Published: July 2022

Annona muricata (AMC), is a tropical plant species of the Annonaceae family known for its medicinal uses in ameliorating and/or protecting several organs and tissues in the body. In this study we elucidated the influence of the methanol extracts of AMC leaf and stem bark on the biochemical and histological integrity of the colorectum. Different doses (100, 200, 400, 600, and 800mg of extract/kg body weight) of methanol extracts of the leaves and stembark were orally administered to adult male Wistar rats of average weight (100 - 150 g) for 28 days. At the end of the experimental period, the rats were sacrificed and colorectal tissues harvested for analyses. Adenosine triphosphatase (ATPases), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) activities, and tissue protein (TP) concentration, were evaluated by colorimetric method using appropriate test kits. The results in the colorectal tissue analysed showed that total ATPase, LDH and G6PD (energy markers) activities increased significantly in the groups which received methanol leaf and stem bark extracts of AMC when compared with control. However, a general decrease was observed in TP and Na+/K+-ATPase activity but there was a twist in Na+/K+-ATPase activity in stem bark doses of 200mg/kg and 400mg/kg which showed significant increases in dose dependent manner when compared with the control. Even though G6PD activity showed fluctuating patterns for both extracts, the highest dose (800mg/kg) reflected the most significant increase when compared with the control. The histology confirmed the toxicological results by the biochemical parameters. Under the condition of this study, we inferred that the methanol leaf and stem-bark extracts of AMC may significantly influence the enzymes by reducing and increasing total ATPase and Na+/K+-ATPase activities depending on the doses and administration should therefore depend on the desired outcome.
Insulin and Zinc Co-Administration Ameliorate Diabetes Mellitus-Induced Reproductive Dysfunction in Male Rats
Authors: Ujah Godwin
Published: July 2022

Impaired male reproductive function is a major complication associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Whether or not insulin, when co-administered with zinc will reverse or ameliorate reproductive dysfunction in male diabetics is not known. This study thus sought to establish if co-administration of insulin and zinc reverses or ameliorates male reproductive dysfunction in DM better than either insulin or zinc. Five (5) normal and twenty (20) diabetic sexually mature rats were assigned into five groups of five animals each. Group A consisted of normal rats and had access to only food and water. Group B consisted of diabetic animals with no treatment and served as DM control. Groups C and D consisted of diabetic animals and received insulin and zinc respectively. Group E consisted of diabetic animals and received both insulin and zinc. All diabetic animals had free access to food and water. Insulin in all cases was given subcutaneously twice daily in the morning and evening at 1 unit and 4 units respectively. Zinc (10mg/kg) was given orally once daily. Treatments in all cases commenced two weeks after DM was confirmed. The treatment lasted ten days. Samples were thereafter collected for analyses. DM decreased sperm count, sperm motility, sperm viability, normal sperm cells, semen pH, serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone, while increasing sperm cells with defective tails. DM also impaired testicular morphology. Insulin and zinc co-administration improved sperm viability, sertoli cell count, Johnsen’s score, serum FSH, LH and testosterone. Co-administration also improved semen pH towards normal. Insulin or zinc ameliorated several aspects of DM-induced male sexual dysfunction. However, the co-administration of insulin and zinc provided better results.

Published: July 2022

The United States has the highest levels of incarceration in the world, and finding ways to address this ever-growing concern has value both to system-involved individuals and broader society. "Diversion" programs are a pre-trial option that provides rehabilitation and personal development as alternatives to incarceration. Hope is an asset to coping with adversity, and studies have revealed that people who have lower levels of hope are at greater risk of becoming involved in the criminal justice system. One characteristic linked to success in navigating diversion programs is psychological resilience, with hope theory suggesting a hopeful mindset is an antecedent of that resilience. The current study (N = 52) evaluated this theory by testing a model of hope as a driver of resilience. Participants were receiving various diversion-related services in the Heartland of the United States. Participant surveys included established measures of both hope and resilience. First, item scores' principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that hope and resilience operated as unique psychological constructs within the sample. A subsequent path model analysis of hope as a predictor of resilience indicated that, as theorized, hope accounted for 17.2% of the variance in resilience across both race and gender. The results support that hope is essential to psychological resilience among diversion clients. The results suggest that future research into hope theory-based interventions with diversion clients is worthwhile.
Situational Complexity and the Perception of Credible Evidence
Authors: Chazdon Scott , Grant Samantha
Published: July 2022

Situational complexity is the distinction between simple, technically complicated, socially complicated, and complex situations. Programs that operate in simple situations are usually able to follow a prescribed course of action, or recipe, while programs operating in more complicated or complex situations must be flexible and responsive. In this article, the authors present findings from an exploratory, multiple-case study of the credibility of evidence in four distinct program situations ranging from simple to complex. Key informant interviews were conducted with 16 key informants, both internal and external to Extension. The findings were generally that the more complex the situation, the more likely that flexible or mixed-methods approaches were employed to strengthen program credibility. Across all the cases, the relationships that Extension educators have built with stakeholders played a pivotal role in building credibility of evidence. We conclude that sometimes situational complexity matters, sometimes methods matter, sometimes reporting style matters, but what always matters is the trusting relationship between the delivery organization and the stakeholder.
Measurement and Credible Evidence in Extension Evaluations
Authors: Braverman Marc T.
Published: July 2022

This article examines the concept of credible evidence in Extension evaluations with specific attention to the measures and measurement strategies used to collect and create data. Credibility depends on multiple factors, including data quality and methodological rigor, characteristics of the stakeholder audience, stakeholder beliefs about the information source, and the evaluation context. Measurement planning involves a process of making thoughtful decisions about choosing study variables, measurement strategies, and specific measures that adequately reflect the content and goals of the program being evaluated. The use of specific measures may also entail implicit assumptions, e.g., that the respondent is being truthful and accurate, which must be accepted if resulting data are to be viewed as credible. The article discusses aspects of measurement quality, including reliability and validity, for both quantitative and qualitative forms of data. Program stakeholders should be encouraged to be attentive, reflective, and critical in their analysis of evaluation evidence, and their views on what makes data credible must be understood and considered. The use of common measures in evaluating multi-site programs can be valuable, but only if the measures are fully appropriate for local sites. The article concludes with a summary of implications and recommendations for Extension evaluation practice.

Published: July 2022

Introduction
Management of complex aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is very challenging and require individualized treatment strategies. The aim of our review was to analyze experience with the treatment of complex MCA aneurysms using revascularization and artery sacrifice techniques.
Methods
We have reviewed 9 original articles on patients' treatment with complex MCA aneurysms. Depending on localization of complex aneurysm of MCA various methods of parent artery sacrifice, revascularization strategies, surgical results, outcomes and complications were reviewed.
Results
We have analyzed treatment of 244 patients with 246 complex MCA aneurysms in 9 different groups. From 67 to 100% of cases the aneurysms were occluded successfully. Bypass patency being a result of the performed revascularization methods was from 83.3 to 100%. The main complications included ischemic disorders related to occlusion of the bypass graft or perforators injury. Morbidity in some reviews varied from 2.4 to 6.9%. The majority of patients in late follow-up showed good outcomes 0-2 on modified Rankin scale and 4-5 on Glasgow Outcome Scale. Illustrative clinical cases of the patients with complex MCA aneurysms treated at the Federal Neurosurgical Center were presented.
Conclusion
Complex aneurysms of the MCA are very challenging lesions. The surgical strategy for treating complex MCA aneurysm should take into account vascular anatomy, complex aneurysm morphology, its localization and rupture status of each case

In the current situation, air may not seem like anything at all. Here the wind is moving air, as we all know that earth having an even surface, hence sunrays reach earth with different intensity at different part of the surface which creates uneven heating o earth surface, which is causes the differences in the atmospheric air pressure which causes wind, and the kinetic energy of these air is called as wind energy. The mechanical system, which converts kinetic energy available in this atmospheric air in to the required form of mechanicals energies is called is called as wind turbine. So we focused on the like Pole Magnets repulsion characteristics of permanent magnets. These natural properties of magnetic propelling are used as sources of energy. Hence our VAWT system will operate with the, add on features like, magnetic repulsion.
