The study investigated individual-household, community and district level factors associated with antenatal care services utilization in Empowered Action Group states, India. Nationally-representative data, drawn from the District Level Household Survey (2007-08), were used. A sample of 116,973 currently married women, aged 15-49 years, who delivered a child during the three years preceding the survey was considered for analysis. Both descriptive and multivariate analysis were used to analyze the data generated and level of significance was set at 5% (0.05). The findings revealed that household socio-economic status and mother’s education were the most important factors associated with antenatal care services utilization. The adjusted model showed that the place of residence, community education, community impoverishment were significantly associated with antenatal care services utilization. Spatial analysis finding revealed that districts with higher urban percentage and higher proportion of antenatal care services utilization were clustered together and low-urban percentage-low proportion in the space.

A MANET is considered as self administrating network in which nodes are free to come and join to communicate with various nodes. A network which has a lot of advantages for its characteristics also has disadvantage of being attacked by some malicious node. Since MANET requires that each node should posses a unique, distinct identity, Sybil attack is one of the major threat to MANET. A Sybil attack is in which a node can have different physical identity to weak the distributed MANET system. In this paper, we propose a identity mapping scheme which is implemented with the collaborative bait detection scheme for securing MANET against Sybil attack, black hole attack and gray hole attack. Approach is merged with the CBDS approach for making system more secure against various attacks. Proposed scheme is simulated on NS2 and compared with the Sybil detection scheme on various performance metrics.

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health problem worldwide. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is mainly involved with secondary prevention which relies on early detection of the disease process and application of interventions to prevent the progression of disease. These interventions include education; counseling and behavioral strategies to promote lifestyle change and modify risk factors. The aim of this study was to determine the long term effect of CR on patients with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Subjects and Methods: Sixty patients of both sexes (41 men and 19 women) had been recruited from National Heart Institute, Cairo. All patients underwent PCI. They were randomly assigned to two equal groups in number.

A central processing unit (CPU), also referred to as a central processor unit, is the hardware within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system. The term has been in use in the computer industry at least since the early 1960s.The form, design, and implementation of CPUs have changed over the course of their history, but their fundamental operation remains much the same. A computer can have more than one CPU; this is called multiprocessing. All modern CPUs are microprocessors, meaning contained on a single chip. Some integrated circuits (ICs) can contain multiple CPUs on a single chip; those ICs are called multi-core processors. An IC containing a CPU can also contain peripheral devices, and other components of a computer system; this is called a system on a chip (SoC).Two typical components of a CPU are the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), which performs arithmetic and logical operations, and the control unit (CU), which extracts instructions from memory and decodes and executes them, calling on the ALU when necessary. Not all computational systems rely on a central processing unit. An array processor or vector processor has multiple parallel computing elements, with no one unit considered the "center". In the distributed computing model, problems are solved by a distributed interconnected set of processors.

The study length of Rainfall (RF) season in Enugu, South East, Nigeria from 1916 – 2012 examines the trend in RF pattern over Enugu. Data for this work were extracted from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) Oshodi, Lagos archive for analysis. The results show that the date of Onset of RF over the years has extended or delayed slightly from 12th March (71) day of the year in 1916 to about 15 in 2012. In analysing RF cessation, it was observed that RF cessation has reduced or shifted forward from 21st October to 10th October. The study further observed that the duration of RF over Enugu has reduced. The duration in 1916 was 256 days, in 2012 duration accounted for just 223 rainy days during the period, representing a decrease of about 30 days as shown by the trend line for RF duration. It was also discovered that the RF distribution of Enugu skewed positively an indication that total RF is reducing slowly. The RF season or duration over Enugu covers 7 months. This work discovered that, onset of RF has extended, while cessation date reduced, and duration of RF has also reduced pointing to high RF intensity, this can trigger flooding and soil erosion, therefore, the work suggests that every environmental related policies need to consult RF data and take account the benefits and demerits associated with it.

Lobular capillary haemangioma is a benign, rapidly growing lesion of skin and mucus membrane. It usually involves gingiva, lips, tongue, and buccal mucosa. Nasal cavity is a rare location. Generally cases of haemangioma have been reported in children with epistaxis and nasal obstruction. We report a case of a 4yr old boy with congenital lobular capillary haemangioma of nose without epistaxis.

In Ethiopia, there are insufficient information on genetic diversity in the Ethiopian fenugreek germplasms and need to study associations among seed yield and yield related traits. The overall objective of this investigation was cluster analysis using divergence and ranging the traits which were the most contributors to variation by principal component analysis. It was undertaken on 36 geographically diverse Ethiopian germplasms of fenugreek. The germplasms were collected from different regions of the country. These germplasms were tested in a 6x6 simple lattice at South Nation and Nationality Peoples Region (NNPR), Gesha Woreda, Kefa Zone, Deka, Ethiopia in 2013 main cropping season. Distances square (D2) analysis showed that 36 fenugreek germplasms grouped into six clusters. The distances were significant difference which helps for maximum genetic segregation and genetic recombination for crosses as well as obtaining heterotic response in breeding program for improving yield and yield related traits. Clustering pattern of genotypes was not related to geographical differentiation.

ontribution/ role of T.N. Godavaraman Thirumulpad in protection and conservation of environment especially with respect to forests in India has beenprodigious. Popularly known as the “Green Man” he assured through various methods like filing of varied PILs and interceding in numerous projects, that legitimate harmony could be accomplished between consumption of resources and conservation of the same, exclusively conservation of forests. Environmental law being a field of national importance has attracted a great deal of participation from different NGOs, private organization, apex court and most importantly the common man without whose contribution and support ideal environmental conditions cannot be attained. The Supreme Court of India has always acted as a catalyst to back/support the growth and development of the environment through ensuring the protection of all components of environment by generating new jurisprudences like that of “absolute liability doctrine” and adding international concepts of sustainable development, precautionary principle and polluter pay principle.

India is the second most populous country in the world. Although there have been major improvements in public health care sector in since 1950’s. The country is passing through demographic and environmental transition which is adding to burden of diseases. And Health care facilities and services in the government hospitals is playing vital role of society and promoting health care service in India. And the most of the people in nilgiris living at rural part of areas and their referring to government hospitals for health check up and various major and minor diseases and health problems. Because of due to economically below poverty. This study has to reveals perception towards service quality in government hospital for their treatments, The problem of this study reveals in government hospitals were insufficient infrastructure facilities, technological aspect and medical equipments, If a response is promised in a certain time, does not happen and responding the client quickly, and insufficient doctors. Data have been collected through interview schedule in Nilgiris district.

Beyond the abstract use of the term ‘patrimonialism’ and its variants appended with prefix “neo-” or adjectives ‘modern’, ‘traditional’ or ‘developmental’, the leadership challenges in Africa manifesting in festering governance crisis have not benefitted from the deserved scholarly debate in a particularized manner. From the writings of the German sociologist Max Weber (1864-1920), in particular his Economy and Society and his tripartite dichotomy of leadership – legal, traditional, and charismatic – to the different notions of patrimonialism, patronage or clientelism employed by notable writers like Roth (1968); Lemarchand and Legg (1972); Eisenstadt (1973), all have fallen short of explaining the functional threat to destructive politics and underdevelopment of African societies. Even the neo-liberal scholars like Le Vine’s (1980) attempt to coin ‘African patrimonialism’ have foundered in understanding the pattern of political organisation, struggle and puzzling change translating into democratic authoritarian rule of the few, characterized by co-optation, factionalism, and clientelism, and other modes of elitist domination. In contrast to all the works discussed above in which a universalistic approach to patrimonialism is taken, this paper adopts a particularistic approach to grapple with the narrow and narrowing peculiarities that currently dominate the processes and structures of leadership crisis, which has led to dearth of good governance and development occurring in Nigeria, in particular, and a number of West Africa countries. The paper argues that a culture of institutionalised subjugation of the political sphere over the economic pervades in the sub-region, leading to a norm of profoundly state-driven economy and a character of patron-clientele interactions between the state and the economy. Following independence, for instance, both Ghana and Nigeria have a leading sector (cocoa and petroleum respectively), which might have
