Preventing depression and helping individuals to become more resilient to depression, awareness-related programs have been suggested. S63845 To implement such programs, depression literacy (D-Lit) assessment is needed. However, little information is known about it in Bangladesh, and this gap was addressed - in the present study. An online-based cross-sectional survey was carried out among 404 university students (62.6% male; 69.3% undergraduates, mean age = 22.35 ± 2.69 years). The survey included questions asking about socio-demographics, personal and family depression history, its' stigma and related programs, and the 20-item Bangla Depression Literacy questionnaire. The results showed a mean score of 9.30 (SD = 2.75; out of total 20 scores) on the Bangla D-Lit scale. Participants had very limited knowledge of the psychotic symptoms, impact, and management subscales. Moreover, nine items out of the total twenty-items were answered correctly by at least 50% of the participants. There were no significant D-Lithere will help to facilitate mental health literacy awareness programs in the context of Bangladeshi students as well as those outside the country.Empirical and theoretical research concurs to show that style investing increases return correlations within assets that are classified into the same style. The theoretical model presented in this study addresses the question of how the correlation increases due to style investing depend on market size, and how they respond to economic downturns and to the incidence and awareness of style investing. The results show that correlation distortions caused by style investing are more robust for smaller markets. Further, the effect of style investing on correlations strengthens risk aversion, and hence during downturns. Market awareness, and incidence, of style investing also increase correlation distortions. The model yields closed-form analytical expressions for the correlation distortions caused by style investing, as well as for the effects of changes in risk aversion and in the incidence and awareness of style investing. Given the surge ETF-based style investing over the last two decades, the results have implications for portfolio risk diversification. This study predicts that the ability of risk mitigation through portfolio diversification diminishes particularly for small-market domestic investors as a result of the growing relevance of country-based ETF-based. Food and herbal usage of (HS) is attaining improved global relevance and acceptance without recourse to its potential toxic effects. This study investigated the safety profile of acute, sub-acute, sub-chronic administrations and diuretic potential of aqueous extract of calyces (AEHSC). Acute oral toxicity, sub-acute and sub-chronic toxicity as well as diuretic studies were carried out on HS. A total of 20 Wistar rats were used for each toxicity study and assigned into four groups of five rats. The extract was administered as a single daily dose of 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (bwt) for 28 and 90 days respectively. To evaluate diuretic activity, 25 rats were divided into five groups of five rats and administered normal saline, hydrochlorothiazide 10 mg/kg, AEHSC 67.5, 125 and 250 mg/kg via the oral route. Urine sample was collected after 18 h, volume measured and concentration of electrolytes analyzed. The hematological and biochemical parameters were evaluated as well as the histopathology of comparable to hydrochlorothiazide. The extract also showed a non-dose-dependent increase in excretion of electrolytes. Histological analysis of sections of the liver and kidney for both sub-acute and sub-chronic studies showed normal histology comparable to the control group. This study revealed AEHSC has some toxic effects in rats on sub-chronic administration. In addition, the extracts produced a significant diuretic activity. Hence, prolonged oral consumption of the extract may not be recommended.This study revealed AEHSC has some toxic effects in rats on sub-chronic administration.

In this study, we developed an approach to adjust the nozzle throat gap size for a desired dispersion gas flow rate and upstream pressure, based on the external size and shape of a two phase external mixing nozzle. An equation was derived and validated by comparing the predicted gas flow rates with the data provided in a commercial nozzle supplier chart. Experiments were also conducted in our lab-scale FSP reactor to test the validity of the predictions. The approach developed here was found to closely predict the gap size necessary to pass the required dispersion gas flow at a desired pressure drop. Error in predictions was found to be less than 3% at an upstream pressure range of 3-10 bars. The isentropic flow assumption for perfect gases across the convergent-divergent nozzle was found to fail below 2 bars, consistent with the theory applied. By using the method here, the nozzle setting for a desired operation in an FSP process can be easily done, minimizing the time-consuming trial and error steps needed otherwise.Dependence between studies in meta-analysis is an assumption which is imposed on the structure of hierarchical Bayesian meta-analytic models. Dependence in meta-analysis can occur as a result of study reports using the same data or from the same authors. In this paper, the hierarchical Bayesian delta-splitting (HBDS) model (Steven and Taylor, 2009), which allows for dependence between studies and sub-studies by introducing dependency at the sampling and hierarchical levels, is developed using Bayesian approaches. Parameter estimation obtained from the joint posterior distributions of all parameters for the HBDS model was conducted using the Metropolis within Gibbs algorithm. The estimation of parameters for simulation studies using R code confirmed the consistency of the model parameters. These parameters were then tested successfully on studies to assess the effects of native-language vocabulary aids on second language reading as a case study.
