Obesity is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by accumulation of fat in the body. The increase in body weight through the consumption of saturated fats can trigger the onset of chronic non-communicable diseases, metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feeding behavior and the physiological changes in fatty tissues of rats after hyperlipidemic diet. 8 Wistar rats were divided into two groups: Control Group, with a standard diet and Intervention Group, with a hyperlipidemic diet.

Background: Labour pain is the pain and discomfort associated with the contraction of uterus during labour.1 In most labour room it is a common sight that the mothers shout, keep their bodies rigid and start pushing before the cervix is fully dilated, this leads to early rupture of membrane as well as prolonged and complicated labour which affect the condition of the infant at birth. During labour when the women are instructed they are not able to follow instructions because they experience pain.

The process of university training of Nursing students requires a workload that involves numerous face-to-face classes, hours of individual study, besides the involvement with research and extension activities, which can be inferred in their quality of life.

Objective: To examine the actions taken by nurses of Intensive Care Units (ICUs) in keeping the vital functions of potential donors of organs and tissues. Method: This is a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach performed with 36 nurses who work in Intensive Care Units (ICU) at the Hospital of Restoration (HR) and Hospital Getulio Vargas (HGV), two public hospitals in the city of Recife (PE), Brazil. Data were collected through a semi structured instrument made by the researchers.

There has been enormous advancements in Indian Engineering education over the past few decades. This magnification of engineering education has been devastatingly due to privately funded educational institutions. Momentarily, India has emerged as the massive pool of engineering talent among the global education domain. Today’s engineering education is facing challenges of employment in knowledge intensive, productivity conscious, technology savvy industry environment.

Soil stabilization implies modifying the properties of soil and making it into a strong and durable mass. Soil needs to be densified to improve its shear strength and bearing capacity. It can be achieved through various means like mechanical compaction, addition of chemicals or additives like lime, cement, bitumen and resin. Grouting technique incorporates injecting fluid or suspension called grout into the pores of soil. Chemical grouts and cement grouting are expensive and harmful ways which affect the ecosystem adversely. Hence alternative methods have to be proposed.

Valid mathematical models can be obtained by the means of the system’s input and output data, as well as by using system identification techniques. However, it is fundamental that the data within the time series does not violate the statistical assumptions of the series. It is necessary to perform tests to detect possible violations of the system’s variables.

Fuzzy topology with respect to continuous lattice generalizes the classical theory. In this paper, an effort is being put to shed some light on important views regarding L-fuzzy topology for continuous lattice. Here, we look at the L-fuzzy topology for a continuous lattice L satisfying the infinite distributive law of meet over joints

Reuse of greywater has been studied as an alternative for non-potable uses. The goal of this paper was to quantitatively assess the microbial risk from the reuse of greywater treated in a household case study. A Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment was applied to evaluate the treated greywater. This approach was conducted by taking as reference the pathogens Rotavirus, Campylobacter and Cryptosporidium, the worst cases of water-borne diseases of the families of viruses, bacteria and protozoa, respectively, according to World Health Organization.
