This study was carried out using 36 paraffin block specimen collected from bone biopsies diagnosed in National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu. Twenty four (24) of this blocks representing 66.6 % were from male patients while the other twelve (12) representing 33.3 % were from female patients. All the cases were diagnosed as osteosarcoma between January 2010 and June 2016. Five (5) out of the 36 blocks were used as controls. Duplicate (2) sections were made from each block and stained with H &E as well as Highman’scongo red technique. In demonstrating amyloid deposit, in the 36 test samples, 13.8% were positive for amyloid with H &E while 11.1% of the total 36 test samples were positive for amyloid with Highman’s Congo red technique. This test result shows a low incidence of amyloidosis in osteosarcoma. In addition, Congo red showed greater specificity, eliminating false positive result, hence a better stain in all amyloid study.

One of the problems in Indonesia is cleanliness and waste management. Waste that is not correctly treated will lead to ozone pollution and become one of the factors causing climate change. This study aims at designing a system for the management of village cleanliness. This research uses qualitative methods of discovery and action study performed in Banyuwangi. Data collection is done through interviews and in-depth observation. Data analysis is done in order to produce system specifications to be created. The Eco Green Rural design, a village hygiene control device, is the outcome of this research. The contribution of this research is to allow the community to forecast the effects of climate change in terms of waste management and village cleanliness control and to encourage Smart Kampung and village movements based on technology for the government.

Kenyan population mainly lives in rural underdeveloped areas spread across the country. Rural areas in Kenya is characterised by low formal employment, low income as well as high level of food insecurity which eventually leads to increased poverty levels. Rural folk considers indigenous chicken as key in economic empowerment and as part of the social life. Chicken provides cheap animal proteins especially white meat and eggs and contributes to convenient cash income. Chicken farming is easy to implement and carrying out feeding is indeed much easier than any other agricultural enterprise hence considered convenient to resource poor rural households. Chicken, especially indigenous are prevalent in the rural areas owing to increased adaptation to harsh scavenging conditions, survival in poor nutrition and tolerance to disease and parasite. Women being found in the homesteads more hours than male counterparts provides a biased operation of women carrying out the feeding operations more than male. This study therefore explains the gendered participation in feeding of chicken among the households in North Rift Region in Kenya. Since feeding is a crucial component in the chicken production value chain, it is important to involve all the players in the household to enable ownership and enhance the investment through chicken farming.

This paper evaluates the level of governance sustainability of major agro-ecosystems in Bulgaria, and its “contribution” to the integral sustainability of respective agro-ecosystems. Modern achievements of the theories of Sustainable Development and New Institutional Economics are incorporated, and a holistic hierarchical system of Principles, Criteria, Indicators, and Reference Values for assessing Governance and Integral sustainability of agro-ecosystems in Bulgarian elaborated and empirically tested. Assessment has found out that there is a considerable differentiation in the level of Governance sustainability of different agro-ecosystems in the country with the highest (“Good”) demonstrated by agro-ecosystems with “Lands in protected zones and territories” and those in “Less-favored mountainous” regions, while agro-ecosystems “Mainly plain” and “Less-favored non-mountainous” regions are lowest and bellow national, second one being at Satisfactory level. Inclusion of the “Governance Pillar” affects unequally the Integral Sustainability of different agro-ecosystem. While for agroecosystem in “Less-favored mountainous” region calculations with and without governance pillar are almost the same, for other agro-ecosystems inclusion of the governance dimension decreases the overall sustainability.

Aim: Dental phobia stems from fear and anxiety and is considered a major hurdle in dental treatment of pediatric patients who in turn resist or start avoiding treatment. Endogenous indolamines like melatonin which is produced by pineal gland has a chief role in regulation of circadian rhythms. Melatonin acts like an oncostatic agent, known to possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory as well as anticonvulsant property. It is mainly administered through oral or sublingual route of drug administration. No substantial side effects have been reported by administration of melatonin. Soon after melatonin intake, it undergoes first-pass effect reaching in about 60 min to its peak plasma levels and within 4 h the blood level falls. Study Design: The present case-control study is a retrospective study with age and sex matched recruitments. Data collection was done as per first visit and then post treatment of 50 subjects who reported to the Department of Preventive and Pediatric dentistry. Methods: In accord with the literature, 25 pediatric subjects were administered with 0.5 mg/ kg body weight Melatonin 60’ prior to their first visit followed by their Pedodontic management. As per record no initial Pedodontic treatment was given to the rest of the 25 recruits. The successful management of treatment was assessed by analyzing their pain experience through FLACC behavioral pain scale. Results: A statistically significant number of children (n=50) both age and sex matched were included in the study and further divided into Group A and Group B with mean age of 7.56 years and 7.08 years respectively. Group A received Melatonin treatment while Group B was not given any preventive treatment. As per the FLACC scale categories, Melatonin was well tolerated by all the children of A Group, out of which 42% of subjects showed relaxed levels or slight discomfort (0-3), 42% presented with moderate discomfort or pain (4-6) while only 16% showed severe or intense pain or discomfort (7-10). Conclusions: The present study thus establishes a positive role of Melatonin on Pedodontic therapy as it has a potent analgesic and anxiolytic potential. Limitation of study is smaller sample size.
