Background: Perinatal mortality is a sensitive issue that concerns the lives of newborn babies worldwide. In Tanzania, the perinatal mortality rate is high, it accounted for 38/1000 live births in 2022. Objective: A study titled; Patterns, Trends, and Specific Determinants of Perinatal Mortality was conducted at Geita Regional Referral Hospital in 2023/24.

Aim of the Study: The aim of the study to compare the efficacy of manual therapy versus exercises inpatients with knee osteoarthritis in terms of decreasing pain. Hypothesis: Null Hypothesis: There maybe no significant difference in the effectiveness of manual therapy and exercise therapy inpatients with knee osteoarthritis Alternate Hypothesis: There maybe significant difference in the effectiveness of manual therapy and exercise therapy inpatients with knee osteoarthritis.

This study is a field-based, exploratory, and descriptive research that describes the anatomical alterations found in the aortic artery of dissected cadaveric specimens. It was conducted at the Anatomy Laboratory of the Nova Esperança School of Medicine (FAMENE), in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The institution was chosen for being a field of academic learning in the undergraduate programs of Medicine and Nursing.

Aim: To determine public awareness of various dental specialties and associated treatments in a tertiary dental teaching institute in North Kolkata. Materials and Methods: A 30-item self-administered questionnaire was initially drafted in English and underwent content validation by two dental experts from different specialties. The questionnaire was then translated into Bengali and Hindi by bilingual translators, ensuring accuracy and consistency and back translated for validation.

Purpose: This study aims to establish the effect of cloud computing adoption on organizational performance among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Uganda. Design/methodology/approach: Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data were gathered from 200 SME managers through a structured questionnaire. The analysis involved descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings: Empirical evidence indicates that cloud computing adoption significantly enhances organizational performance.

The difficulties of the twenty-first century include poverty, economic growth, education, health, employment, population expansion, and the unemployment issue. Most developed and emerging nations still deal with these issues, but India's situation is extremely concerning. In the meantime, India, one of the most populous nations in the world, struggles to compete with other nations. In every area, there have been additional battles to maintain progress after a nation gains independence. Currently, we are ranked fifth among the world's greatest economies.

Earthquake-induced vibrations cause severe damage to reinforced concrete buildings, especially in high seismic zones. Conventional frame structures often fail to provide adequate lateral stiffness and energy dissipation capacity. This study investigates the seismic performance of a modified frameshear wall system integrated with viscous dampers for effective vibration control. Three building models, namely bare frame, frame with shear wall, and damper-integrated modified frame? shear wall system, were developed and analyzed using nonlinear time history analysis.

The plateau regions are characterized by significant topographic relief, and the construction of hydropower stations has become an effective component of economic development. However, the construction of hydropower stations can lead to damage to fish resources and the aquatic ecological environment. This paper focuses on the protection of fish resources in hydropower stations in plateau regions and finds that dam construction and power plant construction can restrict the migration of fish and affect fish diversity.

This project investigates the feasibility and properties of Timbercrete brick, a composite material made from a blend of Saw Dust (sawdust), cement, sand and other additives, as a sustainable alternative to conventional clay and concrete bricks. The research explores the potential of utilizing industrial wood waste to create an environmentally friendly building material with comparable or improved performance characteristics.
