Background: It is postulated that Tissue Scurvy is a disorder in a genetically susceptible child in whom the cellular uptake of Vitamin C is inhibited following pancreatic β cell destruction causing Insulin deficiency. Insulin is required for the transfer of Vitamin C and Glucose into the cell for efficient cellular function.  Failure of this process causes Tissue Scurvy which is mistaken for Non-accidental Injury (Shaken Baby Syndrome) with serious consequences for the care giver.

Aim: Anemia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to the chronic inflammatory nature of the disease. The discovery of iron deficiency in patients with anemia of chronic disease (ACD) is of clinical importance because it can prevent unnecessary prescribing of preparations containing iron.

A study on zooplankton diversity of Kangsabati Reservoir was conducted to check the reservoir status and emerge new insights which harbors in it. Shannon-Weaver diversity index, Margalef ,s richness index, Pielou evenness index, Index of dominance were evaluated on zooplankton from Kangsabati Reservoir. A total of 78 species were found in this reservoir. Among these, it comprises 33 species of rotifera, 22 species of cladocera, 16 species of copepoda, 4 species of protozoa, 2 species of ostracoda, 1 species of amphipoda.

Due to human and industrial activities the groundwater is contaminated. This is the serious problem now a day. Thus the analysis of the water quality is very important to preserve and prefect the natural ecosystem. The assessment of the groundwater quality was carried out in the different village of Moth block of Jhansi district, central India. In Physico-chemical analysis, various quality parameters are measured including pH, turbidity, total hardness, Iron, Chloride, Fluoride and Nitrate concentration present in groundwater.

The principles of constructivism, increasingly influential in the organization of classrooms and curricula in schools. The principles appeal to our modern views of learning and knowledge, but conflict with traditional academic practices. We need to reflect on our practice in order to apply these ideas to our work. The current study as an attempt to know the effect of using constructivism learning model as a teaching models based on the constructivism theory on academic achievement and mathematical reasoning outcomes.

The influences of different wheat varieties (Sarsabz, Kiran-95, TD-1) and seed rates (100, 125 and 150 kg ha-1) on physiological traits were investigated at Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam Pakistan. It was observed that the leaf area, net assimilation rate and crop growth rate were significantly higher in Kiran-95 than that of Sarsabz and TD-1. While chlorophyll a, b and chlorophyll total appeared better in TD-1 than that of Kiran-95 and Sarsabz.

Irish potato (Solanum tuberosum L) is one of the world’s most consumed staple. It is eaten by more than a billion people worldwide. The amount of potato that is presently being produced in Cameroon is less than a third of the estimated production. An experiment was carried out in Bambili, North West Region Cameroon from March to June 2013 and 2014 in other to evaluate the effect of two organic fertilizers; Indigenous microorganism (IMO) and Effective microorganism (EM) manures on soil fertility improvement and productivity of Irish potato.

Our main objective is to study the relation and impact of student retention in subjective wellbeing in children and adolescents and the role of social and personal factors in this relation. Data was collected in 16 schools, 1181 young people responded to the questionnaires, 51.5% were female, ages ranged between 8 and 17 years and mean age 9,9 (SD = 1.35). 12,2% had been retained a grade. Three adequate regression models were built. Model 1 establishes association between being retained a grade and subjective wellbeing.

The present work included study of epiphytic algae on two species of aquatic plants (Potomogeton crispus and Eusine indica) of the Al – Abasia / Euphrates river in middle region of Iraq from March 2012 to February 2013. The investigation region encompassed four Location along 28 Km of the river course the study was recorded 152 species of epiphytic algae on both host plants species and comprised of Bacillariophyta (70%), chlorophyta (22%) and cyanophyta (8%) Total number of epiphytic algae was ranged between 117.03 x103was individual / g as low value on shoot of E.

A series of experiment was conducted at Malir Experimental Farms, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam during 2009-10 to study the response of different wheat varieties under various row spacing. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with split plot arrangements having four replications. Three varieties of wheat (Sarsabz, Kiran - 95 and TD-1) and three rows spacing (15.00, 22.50 and 30 cm) were used studied.
