Abstract:- Technically, sex is the tendency to decipher whether a particular specie is a male or a female. In biology the gender of specie is determined to ascertain whether it is a male or a female. This concept is being translated into the world of pure mathematics to ascertain the gender of ideals. The characteristics of ideals were taken into account and the end result justified that ideals are of the feminine gender.
Key Words:- Gender, ideals, male, female, operations of ideals.

Abstract:-Background: Health workers (HW) are the back bone of health care service delivery in India where more than three quarters of the masses lives in rural areas. Immunization is one of the key activities of HW which can reduce under five mortality rate, if practiced as per guidelines. So the study was carried out with the following objectives. Objective: To assess the knowledge and skills of HW’s. Material and method: This was a cross sectional descriptive study, conducted in rural areas of Jamnagar district. Data were obtained through on site observation for evaluation of various technical skills and Pre tested semi-structured Performa was used for assessing their knowledge and practice in context to UIP services. Statistical Analysis: Chi-square test used where appropriate. Results: The knowledge and practices of HW’s were lagging in some of the key areas of immunization. In spite of clear guidelines on non use of spirit swabs for cleaning injection sites before giving vaccines, only 66% & 63% of HW-F & HW-M used water swab respectively. Proper waste collection & disposal techniques were not followed by 48% of HW-Fs & 90% of HW-Ms. Similarly only about 55-60% of HWs used the correct technique for giving various vaccines. Conclusion: The Knowledge, practices and skills of HW’s were not of required standards with HW-M’s performing the worst.
Key Words:- Health workers, Immunization, Knowledge, Skills, Universal immunization program.

Abstract:-The present study deals with the effect of fly ash on the mobility of amino acids through six typical soil of Aligarh district, their mobilities of amino acids in these soils showed the order Type I > type IV > Type II > Type VI > Type III > Type V, and the mobility of amino acids in all six soils followed the order Valine > alanine > glycine > lysine. The results had been explained on the basis of physical and chemical characteristics of six different types of soil and the molecular behavior of amino acids in soil medium.
Key Words:- Fly ash, amino acids, soil medium.

Abstract:- Aim: The aim of the study was to analyze, the effects of slump stretching in comparison to interferential therapy in subjects with low back pain. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the treatment efficacy of slump stretching for patients with low back pain in reducing pain and disability. Study Design: Experimental study design Study Setting: Outpatient Department, Saveetha college of Physiotherapy, Saveetha University, Thandalam, Chennai -602 105 Method: 60 subjects with back pain radiating to lower limb who fulfills the inclusion criteria were recruited and they were randomized to receive slum stretching with exercise or interferential therapy with exercise. All patients were treated every alternate day for 2 weeks. Outcome Measures: Numerical pain rating scale, Body diagram, Modified Oswestry disability index. Result: Using ‘t’ test in the data the result shows that there is a significant difference between Group-A and Group-B in reducing pain and disability and improving centralization of symptoms. The post test mean value of NPRS score in Group-A is 1.80 (SD 0.71) and in Group-B is 2.47 (SD 1.25). The post test mean value of body diagram score in Group-A is 1.30 (SD- 0.95) and in Group-B is 1.97 (SD 0.96).The post test mean value of Modified Oswestry Index score in Group-A is 8.93 (SD 5.63) and in Group-B is 11.73 (SD 4.86) this shows that the scores in Group-A is lesser than Group-B with the P<0.05(5% level). This shows that slump stretching group produces better relief in pain and disability and also produces better improvement in centralization of symptoms in comparison with interferential therapy group. Conclusion: The present study reveals that the treatment given to both the groups were effective in reducing pain, disability and centralization of the symptoms. However the reduction of symptoms were found to be statistically significant in group-A in which slump stretching and exercise was incorporated as compared to Group-B in which interferential therapy and exercise was used. Thus the study suggests that slump stretching can be used clinically to treat the symptoms of the patients with low back pain radiating distally to lower limb.
Key Words:- Low back pain, interferential therapy, slump stretching
