This paper presents a post intervention assessment of improved seed access beneficiaries in southern Ethiopia. The primary objective of the assessment was to investigate whether seed access really counts on food security or not. Through a multistage stratified sampling, 330 households were selected and qualitative and quantitative data were collected. The findings of the study revealed that significant achievements have been observed as a result of seed access ranging from harvesting higher yield, to improving dietary diversity; intake and meal frequency.

The maternal mortality rate in Indonesia is still the highest among Asian countries. One of the reasons is due to prolonged labor that is influenced by the anxiety and fear of the mother during labor. Anxiety and pain are very connected and influence each other. The pain will release the hormone that will disturb uterine contraction and increase the respiratory stimulation and decrease levels of CO2 in mother and fetus. This will influence the wellness of both mother and fetus.

Introduction: Após extrações dentárias o osso alveolar reabsorve devido à falta de carga mecânica da mastigação. Tal reabsorção dificulta a reabilitação dos pacientes edêntulos devido a possíveis não adaptação das próteses e falta de altura para implantes, causando diversos danos a saúde. Para minizar a reabsorção enxertos podem ser utilizados no momento da extração, no alveolo. Estes enxertos podem ser autógenos, retirados, principalmente, da região mentoniana do paciente, ou alógenos, extraidos da matriz ossea bovina desvitalizada.

Background: Oral habits refer to the overindulgence in and dependence on chemical substances mainly in the form of tobacco and alcohol leading to effects that are detrimental to the individual’s physical and mental health. They have been positively associated with many oral lesions and conditions like leukoplakia, erythroplakia, tobacco pouch keratosis, oral submucous fibrosis etc., which may be potentially malignant. The reason to do this study is to help in public awareness about the ill effects of oral habits and to motivate them in overcoming their indulgence.

CSR (Corporator Social Responsibility) is a kind of community empowerment conducted sustainably by private parties which is believed able to be a strategic approach in the efforts of reducing poverty in Indonesia. The community empowerment based CSR policy has also been implemented by PT. Semen Bosowa Maros. The main region targeted to implement the community empowerment based CSR is in the operational area of PT. Semen Bosowa Maros in Baruga Village, Bantimurung Sub-District, Maros District.

Ethyl acetate fraction of sarang semut plants (Myrmecodia pendens Merr and Perry) were reportedto contain flavonoids and terpenoids which have antibacterial activity against dental cariesbacteria. The aim of this study is to isolate flavonoids and terpenoids from M. pendens tubers and to test their effectiveness against Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277bacteria which are the main cause of periodentitis. Flavonoid and terpenoid were isolated using chromatographic methods. Characterization of flavonoids and terpenoids is done using UV, IR, NMR, and MS spectroscopy.

In this paper Junction Less Fin-type Field Effect Transistor (JL Fin-FET) has been optimally designed and characterized by using SILVACO device simulator. Fin-FETs are promising substitutes for bulk Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) at the Nano scale. Fin-FET can be a designed double-gate device, the two gates of a Fin-FET can either be shorted for higher performance or independently controlled for lower leakage or reduced transistor count. This gives rise to a rich design space.

Statins are very commonly used antihyperlipidaemic in all over theworld. Statins are the main API occurred in all antihyperlipidaemic drugs. This classes of compounds are the most efficacious and the best tolerated hypolipidaemic drugs. Statins reduced the raised LDL-CH associated mortality and morbidity is now established. Up to certain therapeutic dose is useful but anoverdose of Statins start side effects like a headache, Nausea, vomiting and bowel upset, rashes on the body.

The quest for knowledge and understanding of the importance of political parties in the functioning of the Democratic State of Law has generated a growing interest on the information of such organizations. Increasingly the political parties should give prominence to accountability, given the accounting standards in force, in order that these financial statements reflect reliably the situation and the performance of the parties.

RISC or Reduced Instruction Set Computer is a popular design which becomes the important part of Scientific, Engineering and Industrial applications. It gives higher performance with complex logic circuitry on a single chip. So the main objective of this paper is to design 8 bit RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) processor by using Spartan 6E tool. This is easy to design and support Load-Store architecture. To important components is designed using VHDL (Verilog Hardware Descriptive Language) programming and realize by using Spartan 6E tool.
