The zone wise Sindh land resources analysis finds sufficient evidence that Sindh Southern Province of Pakistan is naturally divided in different zones and every zone offers excellent product potential of its own. The central cropping zone has been found suitable for crop cultivation and horticultural farms. The coastal and hilly areas are suitable for forest tourism and fishing. The arid zone boasts of great potential for live stock breeding and hunting grounds with range land forest. The policy makers neglected the absolute advantages of each and every zone during policy formulation since long. This paper tries to finds potential of livestock’s in Sindh, main problems in its development and feasible policy recommendations for further development of the sector and concludes that low level of feeding, traditional method of breeding, inadequate health facilities institutional mismanagements and low extent of markets and infrastructure are major obstacles in its development. The study also concludes that livestock sub sector naturally offer great potential particularly in arid zone and need policy maker’s immediate attention.

As maintenance play key roles for smooth production especially in the textile industry. Nowadays the effective maintenance model is not an option but it is the necessity of industries. It aims to reduce unplanned stoppage, breakdowns accidents and losses obstructing equipment effectiveness. Therefore by implementing TPM the industries can increase their equipment effectiveness and productivity. This present research work is aimed at implementation of Total productive maintenance in Indian textile industries. In the yarn section the TPM model is first introduced and staff members are trained according to the eight pillars of TPM. The need for driving down costs, integrating every activities and available resources of a company, empowering the employee to make decision, eliminating waste generated by failure across the value adding process, shortening of production lead time and delivery of quality assured services and products have been given due attention.

In the fast growing Quartz watch segment there are many competitors in the market environment for TITAN who captured the market with their innovative and energetic strategies. Nowadays, the quartz watch market has been emerged with global competitors and others with introduction of their style and fashion watches in India. In view of the background, this research tries to examine the present marketing strategy of TITAN and to suggest an improved system for widening the market base and also to increase the sales volume. The purpose of the study also includes to the awareness level of TITAN quartz watch from the public. The sampling method adopted is non – probability convenience sampling. To analyse the data and interpret the results, various statistical tools like simple percentage analysis, Chi – square Test and ANOVA – one way are applied.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. In Morocco, it is a real public health issue. It is responsible for lymphatic, bone, pulmonary, hepatic and cerebral metastases; gastrointestinal metastases remain however rare (0.3%) . Gastric linitis plastica is the most frequent form of gastrointestinal metastasis. The diagnosis of gastric linitis plastic is based mainly on endoscopy and histology.Immunohistochemistry plays a fundamental role in differentiating primary from secondary gastric cancer.Therapeutic modalities usually include palliative chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. A 27 years old female patient, admitted to the hospital because of developing progressive distension of the abdomen associated with abdominal pain, asthenia, anorexia and weight loss, she denied having haematemesis or jaundice. On examination, the patient appeared pale, cachectic with significant loss of body fat and muscle but she was haemodynamically stable and afebrile. His abdomen was soft, but tender. No masses or organomegaly were palpated. On percussion, a shifting dullness was observed, which suggested ascites. Normal bowel sounds were present. at chest examination a right breast mass was noted.Initial investigations showed a hypoalbuminemia (14g/l), a low hemoglobin (9 g/dl), CT scan showed diffuse thickening of the gastric wall and a large peritoneal effusion , indurated right-sided breast mass (estimated at 2 cm) was noted on breast radiological investigations. This examination was followed by upper endoscopy, which showed thickened, erythematous and rigid gastric mucosa extending from the gastric fundus to the distal body with poor distensibility. Pathologic evaluation of breast mass biopsy revealed infiltrating ductal carcinoma that tests positive for the human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on immunohistochemical studies. Gastric biopsies showed an adenocarcinoma with the presence of signet ring cell type . Immunohistochemistry excluded gastrointestinal origin. There was a strong immunoreactivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors, cytokeratin (CK7) and HER2. Histological exam concluded for metastatic breast cancer with gastric linitis plastica. After Multidisciplinary team meeting, it was decided to combine chemotherapy with hormone therapy. The patient died before the treatment was started.

There is growing interest in research and development to develop novel tools to study, detect, and characterize microbes and their communities in various areas. However, knowledge about their validity in practical is still scarce. This review describes the advantages of safety security in the laboratory and microbial screening and molecular methods used for identifications. In addition, the review addresses the importance of isolating the microorganisms from different agro ecology and the possibilities and future prospects for exploiting the described methods in different biotechnology areas. 

Geometric patterns of Islamic architecture in the world, is one of the most controversial issues. So that in this article has been many discussions on this topic in the mystical concepts and Quranic Islam in Iranian mosque decorations and geometry. This article reviews and seeks different ways and appropriate words to prove that claim to have Islamic geometric concepts different meanings latent deals. This study is based on a library research method then used field-based surveys, it has been chosen to study a number of mosques, Then with library research and collect data to gather multiple photos and finally analyzed using analytical -discriptive method. The study is based on the assumption that decorations of this eras used the concepts and mystical meanings. There are also two types of Chinese knot ornaments and Mogharnas that specifically investigated in which Mogharnas in different periods of art used different doctrine that has been led to deform in it.

The use of molecular and genomic techniques namely: nucleic acid, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE); terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have revolutionized ways of assaying biodiversity. This paper reviews their contributions to knowledge of soil microbial diversity.

Left ventricular (LV) aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm are most often secondary to myocardial infarction. They predispose to heart failure, rhythm disorders and thrombus formation. Their diagnosis can be difficult, requiring a high performance imaging. The purpose of our study is to demonstrate the important role of cardiac MRI in the study of the left ventricular aneurysms. We performed a retrospective study, which collected 68 patients referred for cardiac MRI, between 2007 and 2021, and for whom the final diagnosis of left ventricular aneurysms or pseudoaneurysms was retained. We evaluated the incidence of this pathology, the underlying heart disease, the myocardial morphology, perfusion and viability, as well as those of aneurysms with search for thrombus. The mean age was 64.4 years, with a male predominance. Cardiac MRI was performed mostly to search for myocardial viability (61.8 %). The underlying heart disease was exclusively ischemic heart disease. In 58.8% of the cases, the diagnosis was that of a true aneurysm without thrombus and in 38.2% of cases with thrombus. LV pseudoaneurysm was present in only 2 patients. These aneurysms were mainly located apically (84.8%). Perfusion defect perfusion was noted in the necrotic coronary territories, with the presence of viability in 11.8% of cases. The mean of the LV end-diastolic diameter was at 66.3+/- 8.2 mm (i.e. 39 mm/m2) and the mean volumes were at 264.1± 101.5 ml (155.3 ml/m2). The mean LV ejection fraction was at 29.8 ±10%. Thus, cardiac MRI is the "gold standard" in post-infarction studies for an exhaustive study, not only for the diagnosis of LV aneurysms, but also on the complete myocardial study.

Globalization has brought about a new perspective and fresh challenges and vast opportunities in its train. Indian agriculture is undergoing a fundamental change wherein the technology and inputs are moving out of the hands of farmers to external suppliers. It is agriculture is confronted by a number of challenges as domestic prices of several commodities have gone up and are much higher than international price. This has made imports attractive adversely affecting exports. The price distortion due to long supply chain in farm produce marketing and the resultant low share of farmers in the final price is an important issue in the development of agriculture. Therefore, there is a need to integrate agriculture sector with commercial and industrial sector on the same business principle. The importance of commodity market, in this respect, needs no emphasis.
