Introduction: Low birth weight and preterm birth are associated with high neonatal and infant mortality and morbidity. About 10- 12% of Indian babies are born preterm. Babies born before 3 weeks of gestation are called preterm infants. The birth of premature infants represents a crisis for most parents and may adversely affect the development of the parent- infant relationship. Objectives of the study: • To assess the pretest knowledge, attitude and practices of mothers of preterm babies regarding preterm care.

Background: Children with spastic cerebral palsy have a pelvic instability which affect on balance ability. Purpose: to determine effect of pelvic stability training on balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Subjects and Methods: Thirty two children with spastic cerebral palsy participated in this study and divided into two equal groups,(control and study). Berg balance scale used for assessment before and after treatment.

The article is devoted to the study of vocabulary in cattle-breeding in the Karakalpak language. It deals with the issues of Linguoculturology in phrases, idioms, proverbs, sayings and winged words, denoting the species of beef cattle.

Objectives: A cross sectional study was conducted to assess the knee joint alignment in overweight and obese children, compare their findings with normal weight children and to determine the relationship between body mass index and deformities of the knee joint in the 3 groups. Methods: 220 children from both sexes with age ranged from 8 to 12 years were participated in this study. They were classified according to body mass index into normal, overweight and obese children.

Over the past decades, advances in technology have helped accelerate globalization.

The old saying “Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better……. The noblest search is the search for excellence.” – An integrated approach to achieve continuous improvement and reach towards excellence in Utility Boiler Operation. This paper highlights the case study carried out regarding the successful trial run of the Flue Gas Recirculation of the Utility Boiler of Co-generation plant of the Numaligarh Refinery Limited, Golaghat, Assam. This fan could not be put into service since commissioning of the boiler.

The study examined the possibilityof using extract ofAcalypha wilkesiana (AW)leafas green inhibitor for ferritic stainless steel (FSS).This was obtained in 0.5 M hydrochloric acid using gravimetric and potentiodynamic polarization (Tafel plots). The inhibitor, temperature and time concentration ranged from 0–10 percent v / v at 2 percent v / v interval to 30–60 ° C at 10 ° C interval at 3-18 days within a space of three days.Qualitative and quantitative analysis and Fourier Transforms Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy technique were used to characterize the sample.

The study examines the characteristics of the plant leaf extract of Acalypha Wilkesiana (copper leaf) by phytochemical analyses, Fourier transforms the techniques of infrarot spectroscopy (FT-IR) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The leaf extract was obtained using maceration techniques in 1,5 liters of 70% ethanol and 30% distilled water as solvent. FT-IR was carried out using model-8400S Spectrophotometer Schmadzu machine whereas GC-MS model 2010 Plus Schmadzu was used to analyze the extract.
