The main purpose of this study was to investigate the determinant factors of entrepreneurial intentions of graduating students at Hawassa University and the mediating role of entrepreneurship education. The population for the study was 905 Technology undergraduate students of Hawassa University. The study proposes a research framework of the theory of planned behavior by Ajzen's (1991) to analyze factors influencing entrepreneurial intent among university students. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. The sample consists of 272 Institute of Technology students who have taken the entrepreneurship course. The students were surveyed by direct contact using questionnaire and a valid questionnaire of 223 students were collected. They were asked to indicate the entrepreneurship learning experiences activities they were participating in/would participate in as part of their curriculum. Data collected were analyzed using PLS-SEM analysis was employed with the help of Smart PLS3.0 software. Results of PLS-SEM showed that all the hypothesized direct and indirect relationships were supported except that entrepreneurial education fails to mediate the relationship between PBC and EI thereby rejecting H7. The findings show that the more entrepreneurial activities students are engaged in, the less the influence of entrepreneurial factors on their entrepreneurial intentions and this significantly increased entrepreneurial intentions of students who prefer career choice as an entrepreneur. It was recommended that Technology undergraduate students should see career options with a balanced view in order to understand their abilities before deciding to venture in any type of business enterprise.

Background: Nowadays, musculoskeletal ailments are not unusual amongst dentists. Excess body weight and lack of practising ergonomic principles in their practice could also have an additive effect. Aim: This scientific research intends to determine the association between body mass index and ergonomics-related musculoskeletal disorders among privately practising dentists at Saidapet Neighbourhood of Chennai city, Tamilnadu, India. Materials and Method: A cross-sectional study was directed among 117 dental surgeons practising at Saidapetneighbourhood of the Mambalam taluk, Chennai city, Tamil Nadu, India. The multistage cluster sampling technique was employed to designate the study population. The Quetelet index was subsequently used to record each participant's height and body weight. A previously validated (as per the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety- CCOHS) questionnaire consisting of 12 open-ended and closed-ended questions was utilized to obtain information regarding demographics, work information, symptoms, and causes of musculoskeletal pain. Statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square significance test. A probability density value ( p-value ) less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were positive correlations not only between the body mass index and the number of years of private dental practice (P value < 0.02) but also between the degree of interference of their musculoskeletal pain with their performance at clinics (P value <0.04) and interference of their musculoskeletal pain after work (P value <0.01). Conclusion: Abnormal body mass index was also an additional causative factor for ergonomics associated musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, dentists must abide by the ergonomic principles and the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines while keeping an eye on their body weight and personal health.

Helically coiled heat exchangers are globally used in various industrial applications for their high heat transfer performance and compact size. Nanofluids can provide the excellent thermal performance in helical coil heat exchangers. Research studies on heat transfer enhancement have gained serious momentum during recent years and have been proposed many techniques by different research groups (1). A fluid with higher thermal conductivity has been developed to increase the efficiency of heat exchangers. The dispersion of 1-100nm sized solid nanoparticles in the traditional heat transfer fluids, termed as nanofluids, exhibit substantial higher convective heat transfer than that of traditional heat transfer fluids. Nanofluid is a heat transfer fluid which is the combination of nanoparticles and base fluid that can improve the performance of heat exchanger systems. In this present paper the efforts are made to understand that how to simulate the heat transfer rate in Copper taperedhelically coiled tube heat exchanger using Silicon Di-Oxide and Zinc OxideNano fluid by studying research papers of various authors.

Principals of secondary schools play a very important role in enhancing students’ academic achievement. However, in the process of doing this, studies have shown that, principals are faced with a number of challenges resulting in poor performance of students. Public Secondary Schools in Ndhiwa Sub County have not been performing well academically as shown by Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination results between the years 2013 and 2018, compared to the neighboring Sub Counties within Homa Bay County. On the other hand, the average Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education mean scores was 4.7 when compared to other Sub-counties, which are higher; Homa-Bay: 6.0; Suba: 5.0 Rachuonyo North: 5.1; Rachuonyo South: 5.2; Mbita: 5.3. Hitherto the school based challenges principals face relating to their areas of operations were unknown in Ndhiwa Sub County, the knowledge gaps this study sought to fill. The objective of this study was to determine school based challenges faced by principals in enhancing students’ academic achievement in Public Secondary Schools in Ndhiwa Sub County, Kenya. Grounded theory was used to guide the study. A conceptual framework based on concept that c school based challenges faced by principals (Independent Variable), must be overcome in order to enhance student academic achievement (Dependent Variable) was used. The study established that school based challenge posed bigger challenge to the principals in enhancing students’ academic achievement as indicated by the overall mean rating of 3.64. The study recommended that: principals need to be given a lot of training on management of finances to enable them manage the financial resources available in their schools; the stakeholders like the Boards of Management should think of other sources of funds that the schools can engage in to boost the financial resources; the principals and teachers should give priority to developing the attitude of students positively to enhance performance of students in their schools.

This article aims to elaborate on the protection of the rights possessed by an Indonesian woman in relation to her property in a mixed marriage and to analyse the applicability of the postnuptial agreement as already recognized by Indonesian law to an Indonesian woman who performs mixed marriage abroad. This article uses normative legal research along with statute, analytical, and conceptual approaches. The results show that a nuptial agreement is a way to protect the rights possessed by an Indonesian woman in relation to her property in a mixed marriage. In Indonesia, after the issuance of the Constitutional Court of Indonesia's Decision Number 69/PUU-XIII/2015 the nuptial agreement can be made at, before (prenuptial agreement), or during the marriage (postnuptial agreement). For Indonesian citizens, including an Indonesian woman, who perform mixed marriage abroad, based on Article 56 (2) of Indonesian Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, within 1 (one) year after the husband and wife return to the territory of Indonesia, their marriage certificate must be registered at the Marriage Registration Office where they live. Hence, the right to conclude a postnuptial agreement as stated in the Constitutional Court of Indonesia's Decision Number 69/PUU-XIII/2015 is also applicable.

Epidermal inclusion cysts (EIC) are common benign cysts; can be found anywhere in the body. However, EIC of elbow region is rare and it poses a diagnostic challenge clinically due its location and mimicking olecranon bursitis or other lesions at that location. The diagnosis of EIC is confirmed on histopathology with presence of a cyst lined by stratified squamous epithelium and cavity filled with keratin flakes. Here we report a case of epidermal inclusion cyst of right elbow in a 33-year-old male patient.

The use of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), better known as drones, has spread with multiple and very diverse applications in recent years. It includes architectural heritage elements inspections, singular constructions inspections and old structures inspections. This article is based on a detailed inspection over a medieval bridge, which is located next to another 19th century bridge that currently supports road traffic. This inspection had a purely experimental purpose. With its completion and with the information obtained, we will be able to have enough information to assess whether the aircraft can serve as a quality tool for carrying out these works, considering that these works are currently carried out by qualified personnel, requiring transportation and installation of cumbersome auxiliary means and a high economic and time investment, especially in the careful planning of the works. Similarly, there is an emphasis on safety and risk reduction: safety and risk reduction towards the monument to be inspected, and risk reduction for the safety and health of the workers who inspect the monument.

BACKGROUND: “Stress is a response that embodies a range of integrative physiological and behavioral processes that occur when there is a real or perceived threat to homeostasis.” A stressor is a stimulus that causes stress. According to various research findings, medical students tend to perceive stress more than other populations their age. The continuing COVID-19 pandemic may pose a major challenge for medical students' learning and also have a profound effect on their psychological well-being. Furthermore, the relationship between stress, diet, and nutrition is complex, and experimental research varies widely. OBJECTIVE(S): Study objectives include determining the prevalence of stress among medical students during the second wave of COVID-19 and examining its relationship with dietary intake and lifestyle. METHOD: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 69 undergraduate medical students of JSS Medical College, Mysore during February 2021 to April 2021 using Medical Student Stress Questionnaire (MSSQ) to assess stress levels and a pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire which consists of Socio-Demographic details; Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ); 3 day’s 24-hour dietary recall to know the consumption pattern and average intake of nutrients after taking their informed consent and Institutional Ethical Committee approval. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. RESULTS: Out of 69 students, 41 are female and 28 are male. MSSQ analysis revealed that the high prevalence of stress is due to academic related stressors (60.5%) followed by group activity related (45.25%), intrapersonal and interpersonal related (41.5%), teaching and learning related (35.5%), social related (33%), and drive & desire related stressors (28.25%). From FFQ and dietary recall analysis, it was observed low energy intake and high-fat consumption was associated with high-stress levels. CONCLUSION: Stress and Diet can be consideredas a two-edged sword that is stress may alter dietary intake and dietary intake may also alter stress levels. In the study conducted, stress appears to alter the overall food intake in different ways and vice-versa, with some consuming fast foods more often and while some skipping the meals, some are under-eating and some are overeating. So identifying the predisposing factors that stimulate stress levels might help in designing specific programs to reduce stress levels atleast to a certain extent.

Antibiotic resistance has been a widespread problem in the world. Today there are many cases of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Similarly, many cases of resistance to antifungal agents have been reported. Alternative strategies are currently being sought to combat fungal infections. One of these strategies is the use of substances obtained from plants, such as essential oils, which have shown important antimicrobial properties.

Background: Canines are considered to be the key teeth for personal identification as it exhibits greatest sexual dimorphism. The morphometric assesment provides the evidence of sex determination due to dimorphic nature of canine. Objectives: To evaluate the reliablity of canine morphometric analysis in prediction of sexual dimorphism in Himachali population. Methods: Total 70 subjests (35 males and 35 females) were randomly selected and study models were fabricated. The intercanine width and mesiodistal width of canine was measured using digital vernier caliper on the study models of both maxilla and mandible. Sexual dimorphism, Standard and observed canine index was calculated. All the measurements were statistically analysed using student t test. Results: On comparison the mean values were found to be larger in males than females and was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: The left canine was more dimorphic than the right canine in both maxilla and mandible and mandibular canine index was found to be more reliable than maxillary canine index in prediction of sexual dimorphism The value of the standard canine index was found to be 0.25 in maxilla and 0.28 in mandible in Himachali Population

Implant therapy currently promises a good, long-term treatment result without impacting health; however, its success depends on many factors. Titanium isthe most widely used inert bio-material for dental implants due to its excellent mechanical strength and biocompatibility. But in some cases there are reports of problems caused by titanium like corrosion, biofilm formation ,Titanium-induced hypersensitivity which can lead on to implant rejection. To avoid hypersensitive reactions to metallic dental implants, precautionary principles for primary prevention should be established.For medical purposes, it is important to define and discuss the characteristics of metals used in implantable devices and to ensure their biocompatibility.

Hydropriming treatments in freshly harvested mungbean seeds (cv. Sabitri) showed a significant improvement on early seedling growth as measured by root and shoot length of the seedlings than the untreated control. The short duration soaking followed by lightly air-drying treatment (0.5 h to 4 h) along with pre-conditioning treatments viz. moist sand conditioning for 12 h and moist sand conditioning followed by soaking for 1 h have shown better results in improving vigour of the seedlings (root and shoot length). Long duration showed adverse effect on germinability. The studies on membrane functions as determined by electrical conductance and leaching of sugar revealed that reduced leakage of electrolytes and sugar were noted in the short duration priming treatments (0.5 h to 4 h soaking) and pre-conditioning treatments viz. moist sand conditioning as well as moist sand conditioning followed by soaking treatments (0.5h to 4 h) than the untreated control. Long duration soaking showed adverse effect on germination percentage and a marginal improvement on enzyme activity. On the basis of the results of the present investigation, short duration hydropriming treatment alongwith pre-conditioning treatments viz. moist sand conditioning and moist sand conditioning followed by soaking and then lightly air-drying may be employed in improving early germination and seedling growth of mungbean seeds.

The general observation on a local labour market is the meeting between labour supply and demand. Far from being so rational, the economic law of supply and demand applied to the labour market is largely influenced by social relations developed and maintained by job seekers, particularly at the Yopougon town hall. However, the effectiveness of the weak link as stated by Granovetter (2000 in finding employment seems to be limited, unsuited to the socio-economic context of our localities. This article takes a critical look, while demonstrating the limitations, on the theory of the "strength of weak links" developed by Granovetter to obtain a job in the context that is ours. To do this, we did a search with the town hall of Yopougon. It consisted of a documentary review, supported by a collection of empirical data using a questionnaire and an interview guide from the staff and local elected officials of the municipality of Yopougon. It is mainly apparent that more than 80% of the recruits at the town hall come from the social relations developed between employer (town hall and job seekers. As a result, they have strong ties (relatives, friends and belonging to the same community. These links directly have a higher effectiveness compared to the weak links (professional link, simple acquaintance) for obtaining the job.

In Senegal, the Angiosperms represent the best known and most diverse group. The main objective of this work is to contribute to a better knowledge of the biodiversity of Senegal. More specifically, this work seeks to analyse the diversity of Angiosperms in Senegal. The application of several sources of information (herbaria, floras and botanical gardens) has made it possible to show that the flora of Senegal is composed of 2512 species and 1006 genera distributed in 167 families. Dicotyledons are largely dominant with 1788 species distributed in 776 genera and 130 families. On the other hand, only 724 species of Monocotyledons distributed in 230 genera and 37 families have been recorded. The most representative families of Dicotyledons are the Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Apocynaceae, Rubiaceae, Malvaceae and Euphorbiaceae . These 6 families include 317 genera, i.e. 40.84% and 839 species, i.e. 46.93% of the Dicotyledonous flora of Senegal. For the Monocotyledons, they are mostly represented by the family Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Arecaceae, Araceae, Orchidaceae, Liliaceae, Commelinaceae. These 5 families account for 65.65% of the genera and 75.41% of the species of the Monocotyledonous flora of Senegal.

Background and aim: Hyperglycemia in ICU is associated with increased risk of mortality. This study determined hyperglycemia in critically ill patients. Methods: It was a hospital-based observational study conducted in the department of medicine of Dr. Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College and Hospital, Kangra (at Tanda) a tertiary care referral hospital. All patients above the age of 18 years with hyperglycemia during hospital stay in Medical ICU setting and willing to participate in this study were included. In hospital hyperglycemia was defined as any glucose value >7.8 mmol/l (140 mg/dl).Patients were labeled on the basis of their glycemic status on admissionto Medicine ICU as admission hyperglycemia or having any RBS value>140mg/dl during ICU stay. Results: Mean age of the patients was 60.33 ± 15.2 years. Sixty-two percent of the patients aged above 60 years. 50.5% were males. 37.14% were smokers, 36.19% were alcoholics, and 9.5% were vegetarian. 53 patients (50.4%) were known diabetics and 52 patients(49.53%) had no prior history of diabetes and had presented with new hyperglycemia. 75 patients had ECG changes, majority of which were ST elevation (22%) followed by sinus bradycardia/ tachycardia (22%) and ST depression (17%). 11 patients(10%) had LVH while 7 patients (7%) had BBB/CHB. 3 patients (3%) had evidence of arrhythmia. Conclusion: Hypoglycemia is more common in elderly and had a higher risk of ACS.
