Objective: We investigated to prepare chloroform and hexane extracts from root parts of Arnebia densiflora (Boraginaceae) plant, to determine cytotoxicity activity on neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lines. Materials and Methods: Arnebia densiflora used in this study were collected from Kangal/Sivas, Turkey at a height of 1540 meters at the stage of full flowering and was identified by Prof. Dr. Akpulat HA, Cumhuriyet University Sivas, Turkey. Dried and powdered roots (5g) were extracted 50mL of chloroform and hexane separately, by maceration method for 24 h in a shaker at room temperature.

Introduction: Problems of irregular prenatal care are a concern in Côte d'Ivoire. The most common traditional approaches in the process, including information, community education and behaviour change communication, are far from efficient. What should be done about the severity of this issue today? To address it, I propose a new approach: a community health approach based on a participatory procedure. Methodology: This is a qualitative type of research. The Baoulé community of Sran-Bélakrowas the target group.

Object: Evaluation of the influence of cultural parameters in the perception of aesthetics in dentistry. Study of peculiarity or universality in the perception of aesthetics in dentistry.

An Ethno-botanical survey was carried out to record information on medicinal plants from native healers and public from Moolaikaraipatti.

Main informers are area common public and their data confirmed by traditional practitioner with direct interview conversation. This survey identified and recorded 249 plants from 27 families, used to treating diseases in Moolaikaraipatti area. The Fabaceae family plants were most represented while medicinal used collections.

Background: About 61% of deaths in India are attributed to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).The distribution of NCDs amongst different regions of the state represents adult health status and has its social, political and economic implications.In the present study, we evaluate health status with an objective to compare distribution of NCDs between the two regions of Uttarakhand: Garhwal and Kumaun. Material and Methods: The study was carried out from the secondary data source i.e. NFHS-4 data of Uttarakhand which is divided into two regions, Garhwal and Kumaun.

Background: This study aims to determine the prevalence of EIB in high-level Congolese athletes acclimated to hot and humid air conditions. Materials and Methods: The study involved 18 high-level athletes training in an environment relatively polluted. The stress test consisted of a continuous running treadmill warm-up set at 7.5 km.h-1, followed by an endurance race incremented by 1.5 km.h-1 every 3 minutes until exhaustion. Respiratory function examinations were performed at rest, at the end of the exercise test and at 5-minute increments for 25 minutes.

Expanding knowledges of the food ecology of Macrobrachium macrobrachion is the main purpose of this research. It permited to complete our knowledges of the distribution of this shrimp in natural habitats. These knowledges will also facilitate its reproduction in the breeding environment. Shrimps were caught monthly between September 2015 and august 2016. They come from an experimental dip net fishery. The study of the diet focused on 77 specimens. The results obtained revealed that this species consumes both animal and plant prey.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an autonomous system of mobile nodes connected by wireless links. The nodes are free to move about and organize themselves into a network. These nodes change position frequently. To accommodate the changing topology special routing algorithms are needed.

The use of renewable energy has become a necessary alternative to reduce the emission of polluting gases in the atmosphere. Hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel and its use has increased in the last decade. There are different ways of producing hydrogen, however there are few reports in the literature on the production of biohydrogen using waste water from the processing of cassava (manipueira). This study discusses the exergetic efficiency of the biohydrogen production using a large factory production plant using the HYSYS process simulation software (version 8.0).

In Brazil, violence is a behavior that generates a lot of concern in all its aspects and has indiscriminately affects all social classes, generation, and is seen as a highly complex problem with regard to solving them.
