Labour productivity output in civil engineering construction projects is an important aspect of civil engineering profession world-wide over many centuries. The use of civil engineering construction materials plays 60% role, while labour productivity output take 40% of the construction projects execution in construction industry. This account for the reason why multi-national companies spend huge sum of money every year to train and retain labour work force that is being employed for daily execution of activities that are carryout within the organization.

Interaction of H2O molecule and BN fullerene like structures was studied based on the density functional theory. The H2O molecule is adsorbed on the surface of BN fullerene like structures. All calculations were performed using DFT within M062X method and has been widely used in the nanostructure studies. 6-311G** all electron basis sets were used for the optimization, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analyses, and energy calculations.

Now a day’s eating habits have changed. Consumption of junk food, Ready to cook fast food, Carbonated drinks is increasing day by day which contains preservatives and colouring agents. Due to prolonged use they gets accumalated in our body and leads to imbalances in doshas which in turns affect body as well as mind. Tarunya pitika is one of the disease mentioned under kshudra rogas. As per modern science the symptoms of Tarunya pitika are resembles with Acne vulgaris. Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilo sebaceous units.

This study was conducted to investigate the determinant factors that influence probability of village poultry technology package elements adoption, and to identify major limitations and constraints influencing the technology adoption in the central Oromia Region, Ethiopia. One hundred eighty (180) village poultry technology package participants were selected using multi-stages random sampling method. Structured questionnaire were used for face to face interview data collection. Binary logistic regression model using univariate and multivariate regression analysis procedures were employed.

We report a case of Tuberculosis verrucosa cutis on the knee that had been present for more than 3 years in a 22year old man. He had a strongly positive mantoux test and a normal chest radiograph. TBVC is a paucibaciallary form of cutaneous Tuberculosis caused by exogenous reinfection in previously sensitized individuals. The diagnosis of TBVC is based on history and evolution of the disease, along with the classical clinical morphology and histopathological characteristics. He was treated with anti-tuberculous drugs and the skin lesion resolved completely.

Objectives: To describe the epidemiological risk factors and to determine the likely underlying causes associated with developmentally disabled children with convulsion.

Background: Nephrotic syndrome is a condition which is characterised by proteinurea, hypoprotenemia, hyperchlolesterolemia and significant edema. In children with nephrotic syndrome, it is probable to determine a hypothyroid state because of significant loss of thyroxine (T4), tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroid-binding globulin in presence of proteinuria.
Objectives: To determine the  thyroid function test  in pediatric cases of nephrotic syndrome, and to find any association and impact on thyroid harmone levels in these patients.

Background: Congenital pouch colon is an unusual abnormality of like dilation of shortened colon, associated with Ano-rectal malformation. The clinical and radiological details of this condition have been described in detail and are well established, but there is a lack of consensus regarding management protocol.
Objective: To study the epidemiology of pouch colon anomaly, analyze various modes of presentation. To see various anomalies associated and to evaluate the outcome of various surgical modalities.

Aims: Aim of study was to determine the effect of Naturopathy (massage, hot and cold fomentation applications) and yoga intervention for one year on the disease activity, disability and quality of life indices in patients suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis.

The nutritional status of women when becoming pregnant and during pregnancy can have significant influence on foetus. Micronutrient deficiencies could lead to poor maternal health outcomes and pregnancy complications. Poor maternal weight gain in pregnancy due to an inadequate diet increases the risk of complications. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect information regarding medical history and supplementation from 100 pregnant women. Overall (27%) women were underweight, (54%) normal weight, (16%) overweight and (3%) obese.
