Malnutrition has been defined as a pathological condition resulting from a relative or absolute deficiency or excess of one or more nutrients. Malnutrition continues to be a growing problem in most developing countries. It comprises of four forms – under-nutrition, over-nutrition, imbalance and specific deficiency. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of malnutrition among children. To assess factors contributing to malnutrition among children. To find out association of prevalence of malnutrition with factors contributing to malnutrition.

Nowadays there has been a significant increase in the use of Information Technologies (IT) in education, especially in distance education (DE), in which the use of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) is very common. However, in such environments it is difficult the teacher to observe the state of attention as well as the satisfaction of an apprentice with respect to the content presented to him, unlike what occurs in face-to-face teaching.In view of this, many researchers have invested in the development ofintelligent technologies that can help in this task.

The industrial revolution led to profound modifications in the lifestyle and increased the percentages of obesity, insulin resistance/Diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension that augment the risk of developing Cardiovascular Diseases (CD). Solanummelongena (eggplant) is popularly much used with the purpose of reducing lipid levels. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the eggplant on the metabolic profile of Wistar rats. The animals were treated with eggplant floor mixed with the commercial rat chow for 45 days.

Occur worldwide annually 372,000 deaths can be prevented, which may be considered as one of the diseases with the greatest impact, both in health and in the world economy. However, it is estimated that the possibility of death by drowning while on a beach protected by lifeguard is 1 in 18 million, thus making the location of the rescue stations an important point connected to response-time.

Constipation may be considered a public health problem leading to harmful interference on the quality of life. Its prevalence varies from 0.7% to 81% worldwide and may affect adults and children. It is usually treated with laxative drugs. Joannesia princeps is a plant used in popular medicine as a laxative. This work aims to evaluate the potential of J. princeps in reversing the constipation effects produced by loperamide. Animals were divided in Group 1 (Control group that received propylene glycol), Group 2 (treated with J.

This research proposes to design a kernel within a Gaussian process for finding and learning patterns from data attributes that fit the structure of time series data. No external variables needed. In Gaussian processes, researchers do not need to modify the algorithm's layout at all when the function of the problem converts. So what to do just to modify the function or kernel function to suit the problem. The kernel functions in each of the Gaussian process types affect the different models of time-varying functions.

The research aimed to evaluate the quality of sleep in university students after intervention with Auriculotherapy. This is a convenience sample study composed of forty students from the initial periods of the bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy at the Centro Universitário Santo Agostinho. Four atrial acupuncture interventions were performed with metal spheres applied at the shenmen, heart, adrenal, and neurasthenia sites. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). For statistical analysis, the SPSS program was used in version 20.0.

The Early Cambrian Khewera Sandstone is well exposed in the southern part of the eastern Salt Range in its type section, the Khewra Gorge. The 130 m thick succession has unconformable upper and lower contacts and is dominantly sandstone with minor claystone. In the lower part of the succession, fine-grained sandstone alternates with units of silty mudstone and a minor amount of shale. Flasers are the dominant sedimentary structure in the sandstone beds; asymmetrical ripples are abundant and burrows are moderately common, indicating a marine environment with rapidly changing current speeds.

Abamectin is a natural product being used as an insecticide, which has the power of killing the worms, it is also being used as a plant parasitic nematodes. Imidacloprid is a chemical which has the property of neurotoxin to insects. by affecting the Central Nerve System (CNS) of insect and this causes the growth of the insect. The concentrations of these two molecules as a pesticide consider as an important combination against insecticide in the pest management programs.

The field experiments were conducted at Student Instructional Farm of CSAUAT Kanpur, during Rabi 2016-17 and 2017-18. The objective of investigation was to study the effect of foliar applied potassium nitrate and thio-urea with different doses on plant traits (physiological, biochemical, yield and its components) of two wheat varieties under drought and irrigated condition. It was designed in split-split plot design with three replications.
