In this manuscript, we seek to present and analyze the sociocultural facts that engender the media demonization of the Brazil / Paraguay border by the mass communication. The aim of this paper was to discuss in a succinct way the influence of the mass media in the construction of the social imaginary of Paraguayans and Brazilians with respect to the construction of representations on the phenomenon of violence on the Brazil / Paraguay border, especially in border cities of Pedro Juan Caballero (PY) and Ponta Porã (BR), as well as Ciudad del Este and Foz do Iguaçu (BR).

The investigations using the molecular mechanics technique with good approximation confirmed structural X-ray data for vitamin D2. The calculation of bond lengths and bond angles provided new structural information for vitamin D2 derivatives containing chalcogens (sulfur, selenium or tellurium) in oxygen site. The comparison showed that most of the bond lengths of the substituted compounds are similar, with the exception of the key bonds Ch-H and Ch – C(3), which grow linearly with the ionic radii of chalcogens.

Pregnancy is a wonderful period in a women’s life and she spends each and every day in pleasant anticipation, waiting to hold her bundle of joy in her arms, Even though it is a time of great happiness and fulfilment of the life, pregnancy causes a lot of mental conflicts and feelings which is a natural trend of this period. The main aim of the study to assess the level of fear related to child birth. A quantitative research approach was adopted. A research design adopted for this study was Quantitative randomized control &experimental pre ,post design .

This paper presents the methodology for extracting different colors from an RGB image. RGB image have different colors with different values of color contents for each pixel. As red, Green and blue are the fundamental colors for every color formation and these can be extracted by simply using MATLAB commands. But in real life applications like face detection or skin detection or some applications in floriculture, detection of different fruits of vegetables etc. other colors have to be detected. So this paper presents the dignified approach to extract the concerned color from an image.

Collar is the part of a shirt, dress, coat or blouse that fastens around or frames the neck. Among clothing construction professionals, a collar is differentiated from other necklines such as revers and lapels, by being made from a separate piece of fabric, rather than a folded or cut part of the same piece of fabric used for the main body of the garment. A collar may be permanently attached to the main body of the garment or detachable.

Silkworm is an insect whose cocoon is used as raw material in the textile industry. For the production of quality silk, a proper functioning of the digestive system is essential. This study examined the morphology of the hindgut chambers, with details of the area of the anal canal, which has been little studied in this important holometabola. The functional dynamism of the intestinal chambers can obscure important morphological characteristics. For this, segments of the hindgut were processed using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.

The aim of this study was to know the effect of cigarette smokes to the diameter of seminiferous tubulus testis and the number of Leydig cell of rats exposed to the cigarettes smoke. Some constituents of cigarette smoke was nitrogen, amoniac, CO*,CO2, NO* , NO2*, H2S, Tar, nicotin and metal would influence reproductive system. Twenty four adult male rats were divided to four groups i.e : one group for control (C) and three groups for treatment by cigarette smoke of 38 mV cigarette smokes (T1), 63 mV cigarette smokes (T2), and 181 mV cigarette smokes (T3).

In an attempt to mitigate cases of adverse events and incidents with surgical patients, the brazilian Ministry of Health advocates the use of a checklist, which must be applied in the trans-operative period of all surgical procedures performed in the country’s health services. The purpose of this study was to identify the brazilian scientific production on the use of the safe surgical checklist and verify the professional adherence to it.

This research paper summarizes the views of technical and managerial staffs of Bally Jute Company Ltd to pinpoint scopes and means of productivity improvement. Critical analysis of their views facilitates in identifying major and minor areas as well as their ranking as per priority. Machine breakdown, Poor machine maintenance, idle machines, etc. are the top most areas for productivity improvement in Jute Industry. Shortage of skill manpower and lack of control of process wastage accounts loss in productivity.

Within the span of a little over a decade’s time, important steps have been taken to ameliorate the condition of children across the globe. Since the beginning of the 1990’s, India has also been actively developing health policies focussed on the good health of mothers and their children. The Millennium Development Goals which were initiated in 2000 also played an important role in streamlining efforts to reduce child mortality. Consequently a remarkable reduction in the number of child deaths was experienced in the country.
