This study was hereby planned with an aim of analyzing the effect of mass drug administration of ivermectin on the COVID-19 pandemic progression in the State of Uttarakhand. The trend of pandemic progression in five states of India was studied taking case growth rate, active case rate and case fatality rate as indicators. The percentage change in the indicators with the progression of pandemic was calculated for all five states and compared. The projected increased number of deaths, the state of Uttarakhand would have experienced, if the state had the declining average case growth of the other states taken for study was also calculated. The data analysis shows that the Uttarakhand had a sharp fall in the active cases by 3 to 4 weeks post lockdown, the period corresponding with maximum coverage of ivermectin distribution in the state
Legal regulation of evidence in cybercrimes in UAE legislations
Get PDFThe study aims mainly to evaluate the legal regulation of evidence in cybercrime in the United Arab Emirates compared to the provisions of Islamic laws by explaining the concept of cybercrime, its types, elements, and ways to confront it. The study will examine the legal and judicial framework to combat cybercrime in the United Arab Emirates, and define the means, conditions, the evidentiary requirements of cybercrime in Islamic law and UAE legislation. The researcher has used the descriptive-analytical method in his research. The study concludes with several results. The most important of which is that cybercrime differs from its traditional counterpart in nature and methods of gathering evidence to prove it. The study also concludes that there are difficulties in proving electronic evidence, in addition to the fact that the UAE legislator did not provide for means of evidence for cybercrimes. The study also concludes with several recommendations. There is also a need to enact legislation that compels technical companies and social media platforms to ask users and customers to provide personal documents that prove their identities when registering on any platform on the Internet, these documents will serve as an "electronic fingerprint”

Role of mandibular canines in sex determination in northern central region of India
Get PDFIntroduction: The gender is very important part of identification. Gender identification is very crucial for personal identification of an individual, because the age and stature determination is dependent on the gender of the individual. For gender identification we can use much other bone like mandible, skull and maxilla, gender identification can also done from tooth like canine most commonly we can use mandibular canine for gender identification. Aim and objective: Total 200 subjects were taken for the study purpose in which 100 are male and rest 100 are females in the department of RKDF medical collage & RKDF dental college Bhopal The complete procedure was explained to the subjects and there written consent was taken from the subjects. The age group of the subjects was vary form 20- 40 years. Results: In our study we found that the mean mesiodistal width of right mandibular canine was 6.98 mm in male and in female it was 6.66. the mean mesiodistal width of left mandibular canine was 7.21 mm in male and in female it was 6.76 mm the Inter?arch canine width of male is 27.19 mm and in female subjects is 26.22 mm

Evaluation of the genotoxicity in patients with HBV, HCV, and HCC using micronucleus and comet assay in Mosul City\Iraq
Get PDFHepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) have mutagenic effects on somatic cells. HBV and HCV may be showing these mutagenic effects through its viral proteins or through integrating into host DNA. The aim of this study was to determine whether HBV and HCV have a genotoxic effect on the DNA of oral epithelial cells. A cohort of 145 samples have been collected from participants from the date of 5 \ 1 \ 2020 to 15\9\ 2021. Among those samples are (40 healthy controls, HBV 38, 44 HCV, and HCC 23) to make cytogenetic evaluation by observing the micronucleus (MNi) test and comet assay. For each individual, 100 cells were analyzed for comet assay. Around 100 cells were observed and MNi were scored for each individual. Our results showed significantly higher frequencies of MNi in HBV, HCV, and HCC patients groups than in the control group. There was no difference in MNi scores among HBV, HCV, HCC patients groups, and showed a significantly difference of study groups compared to healthy carriers. In conclusion: chronic HBV, HCV, HCC patients have genomic instability as affected as patients because of their levels of DNA damage and MNi
