Penile duplication is a very rare common congenital anomaly. It occurs alone, but the more prominent examples are usually associated with anomalies of the remnants of the genito-urinary tract and the lower gastrointestinal tract. The quantity of the anomaly ranges from a partial duplication of the glans to two separate penis situated at some distance from each other. A demonstrated classification is presented. The cause is unidentified but is best explained by an early disturbance in the embryologic development of the hindgut and ventral abdomen. Treatment must be personalized and consists of various processes to restore normal appearance and function.

Background of the study Health and illness underpin our everyday existence. Health allows us to live full lives and to function as social beings. Illness disrupts our lives, sometimes seriously. But health not only affects individuals, it also impacts upon society as a whole.The Children of today are the resources of the future. Preservation of their lives will always be a priority. Child health includes the care of the children from infancy to adolescence. Most of the children experience one or more episodes of illness. Many of them may be ill for short time and may not need hospitalization and some of them may need hospitalization and prolong treatment. Problem statement “A study to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding developmental delay among mothers of preschool children admitted at selected hospital Belgaum, Karnataka” The objectives of the study were 1. Assess the knowledge regarding developmental delay among the mothers of preschool children.. 2. Assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding developmental delay among mothers of preschool children. 3. To find out the association between the knowledge of mothers of preschool children with their socio demographic variables Hypothesis H1: There will be post test knowledge scores of preschool mothers are higher than the pre test knowledge scores H2: There will be significant association between pre test knowledge scores regarding developmental delay among mothers of preschool children with their selected demographic variables. At 0.05 level of significance Research Design A Pre-experimental research design Demographic variables Age of the mother, educational status of the mother, occupation of mother Research Setting The investigators selected 40 mothers of selected Hospital, Belgaum. Findings related to association between pre test knowledge scores regarding developmental delay among mothers of preschool children with their demographic variables. Study findings reveals that there is significant association between pre test knowledge score of the mothers and demographic variable like age of mother, educational status of mother, occupation of mother, (P<0.05). Hence H1 was accepted. Interpretation and conclusion The present study was consistent with the study conducted by rearing practices among migrate mothers, to assess the knowledge status of mother on upper respiratory tract infection. In this finding there was no significant association between knowledge and demographic variables like educational status of the mothers and number of children.45 Keywords Knowledge, developmental delay, Mothers of preschool children, Infant and Young Child Feeding(IYCF)

An analysis is carried out to study the parametric influences of thermal radiation and first order chemical reaction on a two dimensional unsteady heat and mass transfer flow of Newtonian viscous incompressible fluid past an oscillating plate with Soret effect. It is observed that, the temperature and the fluid velocity decrease due to increase in Peclet number (Pe), whereas the concentration as well as the velocity is found to decrease as mass transfer Peclet number ( ) increases. It is also seen that, the vorticity vector of fluid particles increases due to increase in frequency parameter and time but found to decrease as mass transfer Peclet number increases.

This study examines the level of computer self-efficacy among English language pre-service teachers at Umm Alqara University in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through self-reported ratings on a 5-point Likert-type scale. “Computer Self Efficacy Scale and demographic information form were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, and percentages), and independent t-test were used. The results of this study revealed that pre-service English teachers had a high level of computer self-efficacy with Mean score (M=3.70) and std. Deviation (SD=0.35). Also, the findings indicated that pre-service English teacher males’ scores are significantly higher than that of the females. In order to increase the level of self-efficacy, training programs should be provided to English language pre-service teachers during their professional development.

Green mussel (Perna viridis) was brought from Fort- Cochin Fish market to the laboratory was shucked and collected the meat. Mussel meat packed in the Tin Free Steel can (130gm in a can) and were thermally processed in an over pressure retort. Heat penetration characteristics, process time, nutritional and sensory quality parameters etc were analyzed. F0 value of the product was 8.79 when thermal processed at 121oc for 48.94 minutes. The processed product was commercially sterile. The present study was to find out the changes in the biochemical constituents of green mussel (Perna viridis) when thermally processed in brine in an over pressure retort. Texture attributes such as hardness, chewiness, springiness, and cohesiveness did not show any marked variation in the processed meat. Proximate composition canned mussel meat showed a slight decrease when compared with fresh meat sample.

Different varieties of groundnut, soybean, sesame, safflower and sunflower were collected from different parts of store houses and market places of Marathwada region of Maharashtra state. By using different agar media mycoflora associated with these oilseed varieties was isolated. It was found that, Ghungru variety of groundnut, KSL-441 variety of soybean, Se1B variety of sesame, Bhima variety of safflower and Kargil variety of sunflower showed maximum incidence of fungi. Rhizopus stolonifer, Fusarium oxysporum and Macrophomina phaseolina showed minimum growth in presence of Trichoderma harzianum. Growth of Rhizopus stolonifer, Penicillium chrysogenum and Curvularia lunata was retarded due to Trichoderma viride.

This research studies the surface modification of poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric that was induced by DC plasma discharge for nanosiliver treatments. At first, DC plasma discharge was employed systematically as a function of plasma device parameters under different operating conditions including different time, different current and different hydrostatic pressure employing chemically inert argon or nitrogen as a working gas. The optimization of the best of these parameters were performed by the measurements and evaluation of mechanical properties, air permeability and water absorbency, Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and the surface morphological changes of pretreated polyester fabrics were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) photographic analysis , Then the pretreated PET fabric with plasma by the best conditions are subjected to nanosilver treatment by two different silver concentrations .The antibacterial activity of plasma treated and /or nanosilver treated PET against gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aurous) and gram negative bacteria(Escherichia coli) were examined. The results obtained showed that both the hydrophilicity and antibacterial behaviours against gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aurous) and gram negative bacteria(Escherichia coli) were highly improved by the treatment of fabric by either individual or combined DC cold plasma or nanosilver treatments.
