Background: Smokeless tobacco generates health disparities among different socioeconomic groups and between genders but besides risk of health hazards as in men, women face health consequences that are unique to them, including those related to pregnancy. Tobacco consumption problems are mainly associated with lifestyle and socio-economic conditions of people. Cessation is difficult, as it is for smoking tobacco.

Technologies promoting essential economic activities are likely to be mobilized by highly skilled and human capital intensive companies. The present scenario as seen from the 2016-2017 annual report of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) indicates that the net addition to employment in the IT-ITES sector in India has been declining since 2013 although direct employment into the sector has been ascending since 2011.

The aim of this work is to present an analytical solution to the three-dimensional advection-diffusion equation in low wind conditions in a stable boundary layer dominated by shear. The model includes the longitudinal diffusion that can not be neglected in low wind conditions. The solution of the advection-diffusion equation is obtained applying the integral transform technique. To validate this methodology, data collected during the classic Prairie Grass experiment were employed.

The effect of autoclave and ultraviolet light-sterilized aqueous extracts of Tithonia diversifolia, Chromolaena odorata and Tridax procumbens on mycelial growth and sporulation density of fungal pathogens were also determined in vitro. Aqueous extracts of the test plants significantly (p < 0.05) reduced mycelial growth of the fungal pathogens. Tithonia diversifolia extract inhibited mycelial growth of C. arachidicola by 96.17% while C. odorata extract reduced mycelial growth of A. alternata by 90.74%. Tridax procumbens extract suppressed mycelial growth of C.

Hydroretentors in the soil can facilitate the maintenance of moisture and contribute to the efficiency of nitrogen use to the development of oat grains. The objective of the study is to verify if there is an efficiency increase of nitrogen use in oat grains productivity by the use of hydrogel and, if the hypothesis is confirmed, to define the optimal combination of N-fertilizer with the biopolymer in high succession systems and reduced N-residual release.

A situação da gestão de projetos torna-se cada vez mais complexa, principalmente, quando se pensa no alto volume financeiro envolvido nos projetos de infraestruturas, as grandes empresas estão implantando escritório de gerenciamento de projetos.

Forensic anthropological investigation utilizes the application of anthropological research and techniques in resolving the medico-legal issues; it focuses on human identification from unknown, highly decomposed, fragmentary and mutilated human remains found from the crime scene. Stature or body height is one of the most important and useful anthropometric parameter that helps in determination of the physical identity of an individual.

The aim of the present study was to develop a cassava-based pasta using cassava flour. It cassava residue was added, taking full advantage of the raw material and nutritionally improving the product developed. Centesimal composition, microbiological analysis and the evaluation of the sensorial analysis was applied by hedonic scale. From the results obtained of the centesimal composition, in g/100 g of sample was observed: humidity 4.31; Proteins 9,18; Lipids 6.18; Carbohydrate 71.63; Total fibers 7.49; Fixed mineral residue 1,21.

The paper attempts to analyze the status of women empowerment and women political participation in Surat urban area. In present times, empowerment of women has become one of the most important concerns of 21th century because of their right to participate in political processes which also impact their family and in turn the society. Countries are making attempt to increase women’s political participation and leadership in civil society and now political parties want more women to join in political activities.

Definition and implantation of national policies to reduce digital exclusion involve organizational, social and management aspects. In Brazil, in view of socioeconomic, cultural, geographical, and demographical differences, implanting such policies means bringing into focus scenarios that compromise problems already discussed in the published literature with respect to Information Systems in Developing Countries. This paper presents the necessity to implant national policies of exception to expand projects of digital inclusion in regions with unique features such as Amazon.
