Educação Bilíngue: os sentidos e as singularidades que marcam a história
Authors: Nascimento Kathia Cilene Santos
Published: May 2023

Baseando-se no campo da Educação Especial (LDB), na Educação Inclusiva e, na Educação Bilíngue, este estudo tem o Instituto Pedagógico de Educação dos Surdos do Sergipe (IPAESE), como foco principal de análise. O marco temporal está delimitado no período de 2012, ano de registro do Estatuto de Constituição do referido Instituto, até o ano de 2017, momento em que este passa por mudanças de ordem financeira e necessita mudar de sede, passando a funcionar em espaço cedido nas dependências da Segunda Igreja Batista, situada na cidade de Aracaju. As questões/problemas a serem investigados são os seguintes: quais os sentidos e singularidades, ligados à trajetória histórico- educacional do IPAESE? Quais as contribuições e os limites do IPAESE como instituição de caráter formador e social para a história da comunidade surda em Sergipe? Os objetivos desta pesquisa são identificar os sentidos e as singularidades (re) construídos pelos dirigentes e professores do IPAESE acerca das contribuições e dos limites para a educação dos surdos, relacionados à trajetória histórico-social dessa instituição dentro do marco temporal estudado (2012-2017). Como também, identificar as contribuições e os limites do IPAESE na inclusão dos surdos em Sergipe e verificar se as práticas educativas do IPAESE contribuem para o fortalecimento da cultura surda e disseminação da Língua brasileira de sinais (Libras). A hipótese defendida é a de que o IPAESE, ao longo de sua trajetória, contribuiu significativamente para a melhoria do contexto socioeducacacional da comunidade surda sergipana, bem como, na ressignificação de práticas educativas dos docentes de surdos corroborando, assim, com a difusão da Libras e o fortalecimento da identidade surda em Sergipe. Os conceitos utilizados foram de Educação Especial (SOUZA, 2009), Língua Brasileira de Sinais, Linguagem e Surdo (QUADROS, 2005), identidade (Hall, 2006), a identidade e Cultura Surda (MELO, 2013), além da proposta educacional bilíngue e bicultural descritas por Fernandes e Rios (1998). Tal proposta de educação promove, além da difusão da Libras, a inclusão dos surdos na sociedade. Até o momento, foi possível identificar que o trabalho realizado pelo IPAESE contempla os aspectos social, acadêmico e profissional dos surdos sergipanos e que as ações desenvolvidas pelo mencionado instituto estão alinhadas com as ações perseguidas pelo Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (INES), reconhecido como sendo a maior referência em educação dos surdos no Brasil.

TRANSFER PRICING OF INNOVATION CONSIDERING MATCHES BETWEEN INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY IN FIRMS
Authors: Liu Huihong , Liu Xinyu , Balezentis Tomas , Streimikiene Dalia , Zeng Shouzhen
Published: May 2023

Firms can purchase innovation results to improve their technology. In this context, the key to transfer success is reasonably priced innovation results. Considering the match between innovation results and firm technology, this study analyzes the nonlinear improvement effect of innovation results on technology. The pricing decision is then assessed by a game model of the innovation results transfer and pricing that is based on the entire innovation process, including research and development (R&D) and transfer. Then the method for transfer pricing of innovation results is obtained from the equilibrium of game. The results show that firms tend to evaluate innovation results by matching them with their own technologies, and then make bids based on the R&D costs. Here, innovation results are obtained by firms with high-level matching. After considering the matching, the transfer pricing of innovative results will prosper the transfer market and improve the success rate of transfer. Several factors affect the possibility of transfer of innovation results and their price, including the R&D ability of the institution, the technology levels of firms, and the technological competition between firms. These conclusions were validated using a numerical example.

Published: May 2023

Wood-inhabiting fungi are abundant in China, but their distribution is uneven, with more fungi in southwest China and fewer fungi in northwest China. During the investigation of wood-inhabiting fungi in Xinjiang, we collected a large number of specimens. Eight specimens growing on Picea schrenkiana were collected from Tianshan Mountains, and they were described as two new species in Ceriporiopsis and Sidera based on morphological characters and molecular evidence. Ceriporiopsis tianshanensis is characterized by a cream to salmon-buff pore surface, larger pores measuring 1–3 per mm, and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores 5–6.5 × 3–4 μm. Sidera tianshanensis is characterized by annual to perennial basidiocarps, measuring 15 mm thick, pores 5–7 per mm, cream to rosy buff pore surface, and allantoid basidiospores 3–3.5 × 1–1.4 µm. Detailed illustrations and descriptions of the novel species are provided.
Identification and pathogenicity of Aurifilum species (Cryphonectriaceae, Diaporthales) on Terminalia species in Southern China
Authors: Wang Wen , Chen ShuaiFei
Published: May 2023

The family of Cryphonectriaceae (Diaporthales) contains many important tree pathogens and the hosts are wide-ranging. Tree species of Terminalia were widely planted as ornamental trees alongside city roads and villages in southern China. Recently, stem canker and cracked bark were observed on 2–6 year old Terminalia neotaliala and T. mantaly in several nurseries in Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, China. Typical conidiomata of Cryphonectriaceae fungi were observed on the surface of the diseased tissue. In this study, we used DNA sequence data (ITS, BT2/BT1, TEF-1α, rpb2) and morphological characteristics to identify the strains from Terminalia trees. Our results showed that isolates obtained in this study represent two species of Aurifilum, one previously described species, A. terminali, and an unknown species, which we described as A. cerciana sp. nov. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that both A. terminali and A. cerciana were able to infect T. neotaliala and two tested Eucalyptus clones, suggesting the potential for Aurifilum fungi to become new pathogens of Eucalyptus.

In this work, we obtain the pointwise almost everywhere convergence for two families of multilinear operators: (a) the doubly truncated homogeneous singular integral operators associated with
$L^q$
functions on the sphere and (b) lacunary multiplier operators of limited smoothness. The a.e. convergence is deduced from the
$L^2\times \cdots \times L^2\to L^{2/m}$

Authors: Seifzadeh Mina , Gashti Ghorban Zareh , Raoufi Ali
Published: May 2023

The present study was conducted to investigate the chemical, microbial, sensory, and physical characteristics and to determine the storage time of two-year-old farmed A. persicus in ice. In the present study, 20 numbers with an average weight and length of 3.50 kg and 70 cm, were kept in CSW (Chiled sea water) tanks, and their microbial, chemical, physical and sensory properties were investigated for 12 days. Microbial agents including the total bacteria counts and Staphylococcus and Enterobacteriacea bacteria, physical such as pH and chemical such as peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid (TBA), free fatty acids, and total volatile nitrogen bases increased significantly during storage (p<0.05). Contamination to coliform, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas bacteria was not observed during storage. But sensory characteristics including skin general appearance, texture, odor, the appearance of gills, eyes, and general acceptance decreased significantly during storage (p<0.05). According to the obtained results, the chemical, microbial, sensory, and physical properties were of good quality during the 8 days of keeping two-year-old farmed A. persicus in ice. Therefore, the shelf life of this fish was determined to be 8 days.
A Pilot Study on The Population Genetic Structure of the Selected Fish Species from Meenachil River, India
Authors: Cheriyan Letha P. , Oommen Manu , George Sanil , VasudevanSheeja Anoop
Published: May 2023

Meenachil River is the only river originating from Southern Western Ghats of India having human settlement right from the headwaters to the mouth. The river is subjected to human-induced stressors to varying extents, resulting in a drastic decline in riverine health and fish diversity. The population genetic structure of two species commonly distributed in different geographical zones of Meenachil River, Dawkinsia filamentosa and Pseudetroplus maculatus were studied using the 16S mitochondrial ribosomal RNA gene sequences. Haplotype clustering and the presence of unique haplotypes were identified by phylogenetic and network analysis. Six haplotypes were identified for D. filamentosa and ten for P. maculatus. The neutrality estimations of the upstream and midstream populations of the species revealed the presence of an excess of common alleles with neutral mutations indicating a population expansion after bottleneck and stabilizing selection. The downstream population revealed the presence of an excess of rare alleles with non-neutral mutations indicating a positive directional selection and population sub-division. Population expansion demonstrated star-like phylogenies with rare haplotypes separated by mutational steps from the ancestral haplotypes. The private haplotypes indicated the existence of selection pressure in the downstream zone of the river.
Synthesis of Homo-oligomer Models, Functional Characterization, and Annotation of the Virulent HP33 Protein from the Vibrio harveyi Strain of Scale Drop and Muscle Necrosis Disease
Authors: Islam Sk Injamamul , Sanjida Saloa , Ferdous Md. Akib , Habib Nasim
Published: May 2023

This study used a comprehensive bioinformatic application to discover the functions of the HP33 protein, which is responsible for the scale drop and muscle necrosis disease (SDMND) in fish. The main objective of the study was to the characterization of the HP33 protein and predict the homo-oligomer models to understand the physical effect of the protein for further research. At first, multiple sequence alignment and sub-cellular localization of the HP33 were predicted by the in-silico approach. The result suggests that this putative protein clustered with another hypothetical protein, Vibrio harveyi, and is an unstable, nonpolar, and outer membrane protein. Functional analysis of the protein by Pfam, InterProScan, and SMART tools predicts that the HP has a single functional domain that may signify a cluster of biosynthetic genes. The prediction of the active site, as well as the protein-protein interaction, were also predicted in this study. Furthermore, a protein-ligand docking investigation revealed two potential therapeutic compounds (Ferroheme C, Valine) that can be effective against HP33 pathogenesis. In conclusion, the homo-oligomers model's predictions and the ab-initio docking findings will offer important information for an additional immunological investigation, which may be beneficial in a future study on SDMND prophylaxis.

Wpływ niehamowanej przyczepy jednoosiowej na długość drogi zatrzymania samochodu dwuosiowego
Authors: Kąkol Marcin , Kuśmierz Daniel , Lozia Zbigniew
Published: May 2023

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki obliczeń symulacyjnych procesu hamowania w ruchu prostoliniowym zespołu pojazd dwuosiowy – jednoosiowa niehamowana przyczepa oraz samego pojazdu dwuosiowego. Oceniano długość drogi zatrzymania zespołu pojazdów na poziomej i pochylonej wzdłużnie drodze, zarówno dla jezdni suchej jak i mokrej. Zmieniano pochylenie wzdłużne drogi, a także masę przyczepy oraz położenie wzdłużne i pionowe jej środka masy. Efektem pracy jest jakościowa i ilościowa ocena wpływu na skuteczność hamowania samochodu dwuosiowego z dołączoną do niego niehamowaną przyczepą jednoosiową. Otrzymane wyniki wykazały, że dodatkowe obciążenie pojazdu bez przyczepy nie ma wpływu na długość drogi zatrzymania ani na wartość maksymalnego opóźnienia hamowania, gdy kierowca może w pełni wykorzystać przyczepność kół jezdnych do nawierzchni. Dołączenie niehamowanej przyczepy ma największy wpływ na drogę zatrzymania dla pojazdu o najmniejszej masie. Jak można było oczekiwać, wzniesienie skraca drogę zatrzymania, natomiast spadek drogi wydłuża ją. Długość drogi zatrzymania znacznie wydłuża się na mokrej nawierzchni, co uwidacznia się szczególnie na spadku drogi.

The influence of an unbraked single-axle trailer on the stopping distance of a two-axle car
The article presents the results of simulation calculations of the braking process in a straight-line motion of a set of a two-axle vehicle and a single-axle unbraked trailer. The stopping distance of the set on a horizontal and sloping road surface, dry and wet, was assessed. The longitudinal inclination of the road was changed, as well as the weight of the trailer and the longitudinal and vertical position of its centre of mass. The result of the work is a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the impact (on braking efficiency) of attaching an unbraked single-axle trailer to a two-axle car when going up and down a hill and on a level road surface. The obtained results showed that the additional load of the vehicle itself (without the trailer) had no effect on the length of the stopping distance or on the value of the maximum braking deceleration when the driver could fully use the traction of the road wheels to the road surface. Attaching an unbraked trailer has the greatest effect on the lightest vehicle. As expected, positive elevation shortens the stopping distance, while negative elevation lengthens it. The length of the stopping distance increases significantly on a wet surface, which is particularly noticeable for negative elevation.

Translation Policies of Rocznik Literacki [The Literary Annual] (1932– 1938) and the Perception of Foreign Literatures in the Periodical from the Perspective of World Literature

The aim of this paper is to identify and unpack ideological strategies manifested through translation criticism in the Rocznik Literacki, a Polish literary review published in the 1930s, in the context of the notion of World Literature. With the help of the toolbox from comparative literary studies, translation studies, and cultural studies, the article traces the dynamics of socio-political tensions in Poland in the 1930s. It also presents an overview of the reception of foreign literatures in the Polish periodical.

The sections of the annual devoted to works translated from various languages reflected the reviewers’ urge to establish norms for translation and literary market that were apparently solely linguistic in nature. In fact, they reflected the discussions on the role which particular cultures (should) play in the multilingual and divided state shortly after it regained independence. The paper discusses the particularly complex representation of ancient (Latin) and Jewish (Yiddish) tradition in Rocznik Literacki.

THE OSU CASTE SYSTEM IN IGBOLAND: THE IMMUTABLENESS OF A HIDDEN CONSPIRACY
Authors: Oparaocha Violet C.
Published: May 2023

The Osu debacle is such a loathsome system that has survived the assaults of modernity and religion. Although a fair proportion of the Igbo race may be thought of have elected to get it into extinction, the body language of a great many seems to show that they are not in a hurry to let go. Given the efforts supposedly made to bring the Osu caste system to an end by various eminent social classes and persons, and its continued existence without demur, one wonders whether the proponents of its abolition are not but paying lip services. This paper, therefore, proffered some measures that may be taken to drive enough nails to the chest of the obnoxious system.

INSTITUTIONAL LOYALTY PROGRAM AS A TOOL FOR RESILIENCY AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND BEYOND: IMPLICATIONS, CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND FUTURE ORGANIZATIONAL DIRECTIONS
Authors: Martinez, Jr. Atty. Irineo F.
Published: May 2023

The Perpetual Group of Companies, primarily a health and academic community, had been challenged by the drastic effects of COVID-19 resulting in the deaths of some frontliners and creating fear among its managers, faculty, doctors, and allied medical personnel. Some students who presumably have higher immunity compared with their mentors have been reported to be sick, thus missing some synchronous class meetings.  Given this scenario, it is imperative for top management to solicit members of the organization to find innovative solutions to ensure the continuity of the business units in helping their employees to cope with the unprecedented crisis. While the business managers had explored scientific strategies, COVID-19’s impact on its personnel continues to require innovations to help each other in surmounting their problems in life and at work. This paper discusses a general impression of perpetualite’s attempt to broaden the scope of an organizational intervention by exploring the impact of COVID-19 on its organization, more specifically, its human capital. It will attempt to revive the Institutional Loyalty Program as a way of identifying the main challenges and opportunities as a logical antidote to the pandemic towards using it as an organization development (OD) tool.

VIETNAM'S CONFLICT RESOLUTION STRATEGY IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA: DIALOGUE AND MEDIA OVER LEGAL ACTION
Authors: Phan Do Thuy Dung
Published: May 2023

Territorial disputes in the South China Sea can be seen as one of the most complex issues among states in the contemporary world due to the involvement of many parties. However, despite the presence of peaceful conflict resolutions, which are regulated under international law, the positive result is still miles apart. This article examines why the Vietnamese Government does not choose to bring the dispute to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is regarded as a legal action to solve the conflict between the two countries, as the Philippines did. Instead, remedies such as dialogue and media take precedence over all others. In the end, the settlement for both countries, based on the model of Peter Wallensteen in the South China Sea, is also discussed. The author approaches the South China Sea dispute between Vietnam and China from realism and neo-liberalism's perspective and will collect the primary data from legal sources, official statements and secondary data in an effort to examine the strategic decisions of the Vietnamese Government toward China concerning the territorial dispute. The paper's finding reveals that legal action is less likely to be used by the Vietnamese Government to tackle conflict in the South China Sea due to the limitations of international law, the asymmetrical and interdependent Vietnam - Sino relations throughout history, and the strategic foreign policy of Vietnamese Government towards China. There is a tendency that the Vietnam Government will keep negotiating with China by using peaceful resolutions such as dialogue and media. At the same time, the Vietnam Government will draw attention from international communities against China's assertiveness for not complying with international law as well as strengthen external defense with other powers. Using the international court will be the last resort in solving the territorial conflict between Vietnam and China.

PLASTIC WASTE RECYCLING AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN MBARE, HARARE, ZIMBABWE
Authors: Chuma Rejoice Anna , Chipfunde Frank , Mapira Jemitias
Published: May 2023

This study examines the alternatives for recycling of plastic waste and gives a general overview of the main environmental issues related to plastic disposal. It gives a rundown of the amounts and sorts of plastics in the waste stream and furthermore the primary impacts of recycling on the plastic material itself, the environment and also the national economy. The two main types of recycling are mechanical and chemical recycling. The research also compares the methods of recycling which are already in use and selecting the best in a bid to save the environment from pollution. The study also seeks to discover the challenges and benefits associated with plastic waste recycling. Questionnaires, interviews and observations were used to conduct the study. Data was analysed through hand tallying in the form of tables, graphs and pie charts. From the main findings, there is a lot of plastic waste in Mbare (Harare) because of the shortage of bins and an ineffective waste collection system. However, the plastic waste collection system should be complimented by the Harare city council which should register waste collectors and recyclers for incentives by signing agreement contract terms with them. Mbare has become the most ideal urban area to develop a waste collection centre as plastic waste has become a major problem.

PARA-ANTISOCIALITY: HATRED, CELEBRITY, PROJECTION, ATTRACTION, IMPOTENCE, AND CATHARSIS IN LIMINAL SOCIETIES
Authors: Von Goble Brant
Published: May 2023

The last three decades of media expansion and technological innovation, encompassing the 24-hour media news cycle, the original desktop- and later site-based internet, gaming, social media, and the smartphone, have radically altered the means by which citizens of the developed and developing world access information and how they construct and maintain relationships. As the reach, robustness, ubiquity, and engagement potential of the two-dimensional world have expanded, those of the three-dimensional world have diminished (an effect accelerated during the COVID and post-COVID eras). As one world atrophies, a new one rushes in to fill the void. Celebrity culture; neoliberal economic policies; the decline of family, community, and organised religion; and the post-World War II suburbanisation and aesthetic sterilisation of shared spaces have all contributed to the decay and fragilization of the antecedent meat space (in-person) bonds. In their place, has risen the parasocial relationship—that between audience and performer or, in more modern terminology, content creator and content consumer. Why celebrities/content creators are loved is not the question to be posed herein. Notoriety, adulation, status, physical attractiveness, and charm—these all do much to explain why the famous and would-be famous alike are regarded with affection. Why they are hated—as they often are, if only by a portion of their audience—is less clear. This paper will examine the origins and utility of antagonistic parasocial relationships as well as the extent to which para-antisociality is harmful to content creators and consumers and what (if anything) can and should be done to manage hostility in parasocial relationships.

The Balanced Scorecard Model for Strategic Business Management
Authors:   University Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya - Indonesia, Efendi Silalahi Edward
Published: May 2023

The Balanced Scorecard is a work result measurement method that is used by companies to improve executive performance so that the companies knows more about the extent of movement and development that has been achieved. Balanced Scorecard provides companies with the elements they move from an “always about finance” paradigm to a new model in which the results become a starting point for reviewing, questioning, and learning about strategic management. The functions of the Balanced Scorecard include; as a tool to determine wheter the company’s vision and mission have been achieved; as a tool to measure the company’s competitive advantage; as a strategic guide to running a business; as a key performance indicator tool for the company; and as an analysis system enterprise learning.

Published: May 2023

Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’de sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili yapılan lisansüstü tezlerin bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Örneklemini; ülkemizde sağlık okuryazarlığı ile igili 2012-2022 yılları arasında yapılmış ve açık erişimi olan lisansüstü tezlerin oluşturduğu bu araştırma, retrospektif-tanımlayıcı tiptedir. Bu amaçla, Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu Ulusal Tez Merkezi tarama motorunda Türkçe “sağlık okuryazarlığı”, “sağlık okuryazarlık” ve İngilizce "health literacy" anahtar sözcükleri ile geriye dönük tarama yapılmıştır. Yapılan taramalar sonucunda, sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili yapılan ve dahil etme kriterlerini karşılayan 377 lisansüstü tez çalışması araştırma kapsamında incelenmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamına alınarak incelenen tezlerin %99,2’sinin Türkçe olarak yayımlandığı, %54,6’sının yüksek lisans tezi olduğu, %46,4’ünün Sağlık Bilimleri Enstitüsü’nde yürütüldüğü, büyük çoğunluğunun (%87,5) tanımlayıcı tip araştırma desenine sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili en fazla tez üreten üniversitenin (%17,8) Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi ve en fazla tez yayımlanan yılın 2022 yılı (%28,9) olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili yayımlanan lisansüstü tezlerin sayısının son yıllarda ciddi oranda arttığı, sağlık bilimlerinin yanısıra farklı disiplinlerden de birçok lisansüstü tez üretildiği saptanmıştır. Ancak sağlık okuryazarlığı ile ilgili deneysel çalışmaların istendik düzeye henüz ulaşmadığı düşünülmektedir. İleride yapılacak araştırmalarda sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyini arttıracak girişimlerin planlanarak deneysel araştırmalara ağırlık verilmesinin yararlı olacağı tahmin edilmektedir.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: Devolved enterprise funds would contribute to increased entrepreneurship and household welfare in Kenya, leading to reduced poverty levels and improved living standards. The extent of the impact of devolved enterprise funds on household welfare in Kenya is uncertain. Despite the funds being available, many entrepreneurs in Kenya still struggle to access capital and other resources needed to start and grow their businesses. This has limited the potential benefits of devolved enterprise funds on household welfare. This study investigated the influence of devolved enterprise funds on household welfare in Kenya.

Methodology: The study employed a non-experimental pooled cross-sectional research design. The study targeted the households listed in the 2015/2016 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey which indicated the residence of households’ owners from which a random sample of 384 households was generated using the Fisher’s formula. Cross sectional data were collected from selected households using structured questionnaire. Random utility maximization theory was used to determine people’s choice, preferences and decision making. Simple linear regression model was used to estimate the relationship between variables. The data was presented in tables.

Findings: Findings revealed that devolved enterprise funds had a significant positive influence on household welfare in Kenya. Therefore, household welfare will improve if devolved enterprise funds positively influence the welfare of many households in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that efforts should be made to simplify and streamline the application and disbursement processes for enterprise funds, particularly for women and youth entrepreneurs who may face additional barriers to accessing funds.

Authors: Heenaben
Published: May 2023

Background: Anaemia is a major public health issue that affects 2 billion people worldwide, affecting people of all ages and genders. According to the WHO, iron deficiency anaemia is the leading cause of anaemia, accounting for 50% of all cases.

Methodology: An observational study was carried out at Gandhinagar, Gujarat from November 2015 to March 2016. A complete blood count (CBC) report of patients were collected directly from patient’s laboratory report and entered in structured case report form. The Questionnaire, to obtain information regarding life style, food habits, socioeconomic status and medical history was filled by the patients.

Results: A total of 521 patient’s data were collected in which 146 (48.66%) males and 154 (51.33%) females were suffering from anaemia. In anaemic patients 131 (43.66%) patient were microcytic anaemic, 125 (41.66%) were normocytic and 44 (14.66%) patient were macrocytic anaemic. Out of 300 anaemic patients, 231 (76.15%) were in age group of 16-50 years. Majority of patients seems to be suffering from the nutritional anaemia due to poor consumption of diet. Majority of anaemic patients belonged to upper-middle class and upper-lower class family. There were no significant differences of the smoking, tobacco, alcohol consumption with anaemia.

Conclusion: According to our data, poor dietary habits seem to be major cause for anaemia. Lack of awareness about the disease worsens the problem. Awareness programs at community levels by health agencies can significantly help in reducing the burden of the diseases.
