Malaria is a major public health problem in Ethiopia; mainly due to the large Mobile community and climate change. Teltele Woreda is one of the high malaria transmission stratified districts in the land area of Borena Zone. Objective To assess utilisation of treated bed net in malaria prevention among individuals in Teltele district, Borena zone, Ethiopia from July 15-August 31, 2022.Methods: An institution-based age, resident, and gender-matched case¿control study was conducted among 300 samples (75 cases and 225 controls). Cases were individuals tested by microscopy and get positive for malaria at health centers and hospitals, controls were matched by age, resident and gender with cases by interval and individual matching respectively. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, entered into Epi-data version 3.1 and matched cases and controls were paired by grouping with the same codes. The data were exported to STATA version 14.0 for analysis. Results: About 29(39%) cases and 130(58.5%) controls slept under bed net regularly for two weeks before data collection. The study shows odds of malaria infection are reduced by 71.6% among individuals who use bed nets regularly.

Electrocardiogram(ECG) is the first investigation done in case of acute myocardial infarction.

Multimedia applications have very stringent Quality of Service (QoS) demands and require a connection oriented service. For these applications, a path satisfying their requirements in terms of bandwidth, delay, buffer etc.The goal of QoS routing algorithms is to find a loop-less path satisfying a given set of constraints on parameters like bandwidth, delay, etc. The path selection process could return either the entire path to the destination or the best next hop for the request.The first case is called as Source routing and the second is referred to as distributed routing, Proposed system uses a new distributed QoS routing algorithm for unicast flows, which has a very low call establishment overhead. QoS routing algorithm makes use of existing IP routing protocols like OSPF, RIP with minimal modifications.

Shade selection in dentistry is the art and science of choosing the appropriate color for dental restorations, such as crowns, veneers, and fillings, to ensure they blend seamlessly with the patient's natural teeth. This process takes into account factors like lighting conditions, patient characteristics, and material properties. With advancements in technology, tools like spectrophotometers and digital imaging systems have enhanced the accuracy of shade matching, making it less subjective. Standardized shade guides continue to play a role, but these modern tools provide more precise and objective measurements of tooth color. Overall, shade selection in dentistry has been transformed by these advancements, leading to improved outcomes and greater patient satisfaction with restorations that appear natural and aesthetically pleasing.

Crude oil is composed of several compounds, such as aliphatic, aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and also sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen-containing compounds. PAH compounds are toxic and can be carcinogenic. Oil waste management in oil refineries needs to be focused on diminishing waste and selecting suitable strategies in order to prevent soil damage for raising crops and other agricultural purposes. In this study, several bacterial isolates were collected from PAH contaminated soil and were cultured in the presence of kerosene, diesel and petrol. Only two bacterial sp. Rhodococcus and Staph aureus degraded kerosene and may be used to reclaim oil spills for agricultural soils.

The homo sapiens basically evolved in Africa and the African continent is populated by this human species. The homo sapiens migrated to Europe and the Middle-East and intermingled as well as mated with the homo neanderthalis species producing a hybrid species. This homo neanderthalis-homo sapien hybrid populates most of Europe, Eurasia, China and Japan. The homo sapiens owing to enlarged frontal cortex were capable of creative fictional imagination. The homo sapien-homo neanderthalic hybrids civilization conquered the world and became the dominant species on the earth. The Shudras of India, the Jews of Israel, Muslims of Middle-East, the Celts of Europe, Australian Aboriginals, Maoris and the Native South American Indians. The homo sapien-homo neanderthalic hybrids of Europe and Eurasia were the Aryan population. This can be deciphered from the population behaviour. The Nazi mediated holocaust of Jews, the Islamophobia in Europe and upper caste Indians and the racial discrimination as denoted by the caste system against the Shudras in India are examples of it. All the genocides can be traced to these species difference.

One of the most important economic issues of countries is the balance in the trade balance. If a country's trade balance is often positive, it means that the nation consumes less than it produces. In such a case, a shrinking gap is created between the national income in equilibrium and the income in the state of full employment, and its meaning is the existence of empty capacities for production in the economy. If this gap is not reduced, it will lead to an increase in unemployment, a further decrease in total demand and a decrease in national income. On the other hand, if a country's trade balances are often negative, it indicates that the nation consumes more than what it produces. In this case, the national expenditures in equilibrium are more than the national income of the state of full employment, and an inflationary gap is created. If this gap is not reduced, it will cause a rapid growth of domestic prices and on the other hand, it will increase foreign debts. As a result, it is always tried to have a balanced trade balance. According to the relationship
