Abstract: This brief survey examines the impact of small scale industries in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam district. The small scale industries have a vital role in expanding employment opportunities and of rural communities. The industries can employ a greater number of workers and its raw material grows abundantly in Jammu and Kashmir. With relatively little capital, rural communities can develop this business and provide their own employment opportunities. This paper extracts the concern that the success of small scale industries in Budgam cannot be separated from the fact that the artisans have a special expertise in combining local materials with modern designs. The cooperation between local artisans and exporters from foreign countries have succeeded in expanding the marketing of small scale products. Undoubtedly the small scale industrial sector has enormous potential, and is a crucial aspect of an economy. However, for the sector to fully realize it’s potential in a state like J & K there is need to basic infrastructural, financial, marketing, raw material and other facilities.

Abstract: In developing countries agriculture is an important sector of the economy given it is a source of employment, foreign earnings, and food. Investing in agriculture is one of the most effective strategies to improve standards of living and reduce poverty. Sustainable effective production systems are capital-intensive given they need more social, intellectual, human and physical capital to start, maintain and rebuild. This calls for considerable investment by governments. However, the share of government expenditure on agriculture has declined from necessitating input from foreign investors through FDI to bridge the gap in investment. This study sought to explore the impact of FDI on agriculture growth in Pakistan. This study used secondary data retrieved from the World Bank database and the State Bank of Pakistan. There were 9 variables where included. For all the 9 variables data was only available from the year 2000 to 2016. Error Correction Model was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that in the short run and long run, FDI had a significant effect on land under cereal production, agricultural irrigated land, consumption of fertilizer, crop production index and agriculture, forestry, and fishing, value-added. The effect on employment which was not significant in the short run becomes significant after correcting for the model. On the other hand, in the short run and long run, the effect on forest area and livestock production index was insignificant.

Abstract: Cisplatin is a widely used and effective drug for the treatment of solid tumors ranging from ovarian, lung, bladder, breast, head and neck, and testicular cancers. However, its clinical use was rapidly limited due to unexpected and very severe renal toxicity and effective cancer chemotherapy with this agent has been further complicated by the lack of information concerning the mode of action and the species responsible for eliciting the anticancer activity. In this regard, Dose limiting side effects, such as ototoxicity, neurotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity, are generally encountered with a majority of patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The present review includes a brief discussion of the nature and underlying mechanism of Effects of cisplatin intoxication on liver.

Summary: Ethiopia is endowed with large population of sheep and goats which supply milk, meat, and skin. Despite of these huge resource animal diseases is the major constraints that hinder the productivity. Sheep and goat pox disease is one of the major diseases caused by a genus of Capripox virus that cause detrimental effect on sheep and goat in many parts of the world. The objective of this review is to give insight on current status of the disease, its epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, control and challenges of sheep and goat pox diseases. The diseases are most commonly transmitted through direct contact, indirect contact and mechanically by the vectors. Up on entry of virus into the host it replicates in local tissue and spread to different parts of the body as viremia causing pox lesions on skin (hair less area), lung, liver and kidney. In endemic areas the morbidity and mortality rate reaches 1-75% and 5-10% respectively but, the disease is more sever in lambs, kids and exotic breed causing mortality rate up to 100%. In Ethiopia, the disease is distributed in all parts of the country causing significant economic losses in the form of decreased meat and milk yield, damage to skin, abortion, cause of death of animals, restriction of trade and genetic improvement of the animals. Diagnosis of the diseases is depends on clinical signs, laboratory confirmation and post mortem examinations. The disease is controlled through use of antibiotics for control of secondary bacterial complications, vaccination, limitation of animal movement and their products. However, still control and eradication is challenging due to vaccine failure, nature of virus to undergo recombination and interspecies infection. Therefore awareness should be created on the husbandry and herd management to minimize interspecies infection and further study should be conducted at genetic level for detection of change in the genome and development of effective vaccine.

Abstract: A study on the impacts of agrochemicals on macro-invertebrate’s abundance and distribution in IkpeIkotNkon River was carried out between October, 2016 and September, 2017. Surface water and macro-invertebrate’s samples were collected monthly from three sampling stations along the river course. Macro-invertebrates were collected using a standard hand net of 0.5mm mesh size for samples within the water column while van-veen grab sampler of 0.5m² surface area was used for collection of macro-benthos. Water samples were collected using water sampling bottles (1liter). Sample identification and analysis were achieved using standard identification guide and laboratory procedures. The range value of surface water temperature was 27.52-27.59 ⁰C, EC 7.96-16.69 µs/cm, pH 6.58-6.79, DO 2.36-6.87 mg/L, TDS 10.53-17.88 mg/L, BOD 2.07-6.45 mg/L, COD 134.20-298.83 mg/L, Alkalinity 62.95-86.33 mg/L, phosphate 1.77-4.78 mg/L, Nitrate 3.40-6.82 mg/L and chloride 15.94-31.01 mg/L. The abundance of macro-invertebrates and the physicochemical parameters at the various stations were significantly different (p<0.05). A total number of 27 species comprising of a total number of 747 individuals’, belonging to 3 phyla and six (6) classes were identified across the stations. Phylum Arthropoda were the most abundance accounting for 75.78%, followed by Annelida and Mollusca with relative abundance of 16.46% and 7.76% respectively. Higher macro-invertebrates were identified in station 1 (336) individual followed by station 3 (210) and station 2 had the least (201) with relative abundance of 44.98 %, 28.12 % and 26.90 % respectively. From the investigation of findings in the present study it is believed that the river is impacted with agrochemicals which comes into the river via surface run-off. This stem from the low values of DO and high values of nitrate, phosphate and COD recorded in station 2 and 3 which are closed to agricultural farmlands with extensive use of agrochemicals for pest control and high yield of crops. In terms of macro-invertebrate’s abundance station 2 and 3 had the least when compared to station 1 which was sited far from where there are no farmlands and serves has the control. Based on the findings of this study it is evident that agrochemical have impact on water quality and macro-invertebrate’s abundance and distribution in the study area. This study recommends the use of agrochemicals at low concentrations and ridges should be built around farmlands to prevent surface run-off during heavy precipitation.

Abstract: Cancer is the general name for a group of more than 100 diseases. Although there are many kinds of cancer, all cancers start because abnormal cells grow out of control. Untreated cancers can cause serious illness and death. The body is made up of trillions of living cells. Normal body cells grow, divide, and die in an orderly fashion. During the early years of a person’s life, normal cells divide faster to allow the person to grow. After the person becomes an adult, most cells divide only to replace worn-out or dying cells or to repair injuries. This article introduces recent research reports as references in the related studies.

Abstract: Kaveh’s revolt was a public movement against foreigners’ oppression. Kaveh, who belonged to artisan class, protested to his children’s being murdered by Zahak and called on people to fight against the cruelty of Zahak. In the façade of Afshins’ palace, Kaveh and Fereidoun were united since the beginning of the revolt and were fighting against Zahak and his puppet rulers and gained victory; a point which is not referred to in historical texts. After the victory, Fereidun became the king with the agreement of Kaveh and people. Kaveh didn’t become the king because he didn’t have three characteristics that Iranian kings had: “He wasn’t from royal family (descendents of Jamshid), he didn’t own king glory, and he didn’t have spiritual status.” As a result, he couldn’t be a king because in a hierarchical system no one was permitted to leave a class and move to a higher class. After his sovereignty, Fereidoun appointed Kaveh and his children as commanders-in-chief. Therefore, he promoted to army class. Fereidoun ordered to decorate the flag, which was made by Kaveh out of his leather apron to raise up in his revolt against Zahak, with jewels and it was carried in front of the army in different wars. In fact, this uprising shows the cooperation between different classes of people and the king in their battles with foreign aggression against the territory of Iran and Aryan religion.

Abstract: While the pages of a book or thick document to be scanned; two types of geometric and optical distortion for the scanned images arise. As a result of the damages, hick curvy lines of text in the document find and book binding are shaded. This problem makes it difficult to read. In the near future, it is an attempt to correct such images. In this paper, we review the methods for correcting the curvature and shadow images of scanned documents in the thick boundary lines of text books; we estimate the lighting function.
