Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological problem among females and it is defined as cramping pain in the lower abdomen occurring just before or during menstruation.Despite the high prevalence, dysmenorrhea is often poorly treated, and even disregarded, by health professionals, pain researchers, and the women themselves, who may accept it as a normal part of the menstrual cycle.This problem occurs because of luxurious life,lack of physical exercise,oily ,spicy and salty constituents of food.Due to laziness,eating and timepass habbits females do not take care of their personal hygiene.This subject is chosen because females are suffered by this problem commonly and it’s enough to disturb the daily work ,in this subject I explained that what diet must be taken in this menstrual phase to avoid other complications.

AbstractThis article argues that risk is central in (re)producing the unaccountable commercial military/security markets that are a normal part of our political reality. The argument is twofold: first it is suggested that risk rationalities and the associated ‘preventive imperative’ has a depoliticising effect – accentuated by the impersonal spread of risk rationalities and the strategies of risk professionals – which lowers the eagerness to seek accountability. However, and second, depoliticisation is significant above all as a serious obstacle to the innovative thinking that is the sine qua non of effective accountability. The enmeshed, ‘hybrid’, nature of the market places it in the ‘blind spot’ of law and is as such fundamental to the current lack of accountability. Consequently, moving beyond established regulatory frameworks and technical understandings of accountability (that is, politicising the market) is a precondition for more effective accountability. Failing to do so, will leave the current rapid legal innovation impotent while reinforcing impunity as the focus on and confidence in established regulatory frameworks grows. The failure to politicise creates an ‘accountability paradox’ where the pursuit of accountability diminishes it. The article develops this argument with reference to Blackwater's (now Xe) role in the so called CIA ‘Killing Program’.

The 10/66 Dementia Research Group (2000a) has drawn attention to the uneven distribution of research evidence worldwide; although two thirds (66%) of all persons with dementia live in developing countries, 10% or less of population-based research has been conducted in those regions. The study by Vas and colleagues on dementia in Mumbai, India, published in this issue of International Psychogeriatrics is therefore most welcome. Dementia has a very low profile in most developing countries. Families often view it as a normal part of aging, and few seek help despite experiencing significant strain (Pate1 & Prince, 2001; Shaji et al., in press). Unsurprisingly therefore it is accorded a low priority by policymakers in the developing world, and there is little sign of attention being given to the development of more responsive health care or social welfare services. Population-based research, well disseminated, can play an important role in increasing awareness at all levels of society.

The comparative study results of pollen morphology of the mutational witches’ brooms and the normal part of the tree crown in Scots pine are presented. There is a decrease of pollen grains size, especially the sacci, in witches’ brooms. The witches’ brooms with more intensive branching have more expressive changes. Also, the witches’ brooms have more abnormal pollen grains. The data on the occurrence about 10 anomalous morphotypes of pollen grains are reported, most of that are related to the abnormal development of succi: different size of sacci, deformed sacci, reduced sacci, fused sacci, additional sacci, compress sacci, lack of one or both sacci. A high percentage of anomalies in the sacci development may be associated with less developed reticular sculpture of ectexine in witches’ brooms pollen.

Having observed and photographed obstetrical techniques and practices on six continents in 1971, I am struck by the differing views of renowned physicians in the various developed and developing countries as to the relative merits of early and late clamping of the umbilical cord. While specialists in the Netherlands, a country with a low incidence of infant mortality essentially equivalent to that of Sweden, stress the importance of placental transfusion as a normal part of the physiological sequence of birth which lessens the likelihood of maternal hemorrhage and anemia in the growing child, Yao et al. in their recent paper published in the December 1971 issue of PEDIATRICS, suggest that placental transfusion causes "overloading" of the vascular bed and therefore should be avoided by early clamping.

How does birth control work? Most people who can become pregnant and give birth menstruate and ovulate. Menstruation is more commonly known as a “period” and refers to monthly vaginal bleeding that is a normal part of the menstrual cycle for most women. In...

This study documented an undescribed aspect of medusahead germination behavior. Fibrous hairs were consistently observed growing from the coleorhizal surface of germinating medusahead seeds. Three medusahead accessions were investigated to determine temperature effects on coleorhizal hair growth and germination. Coleorhizal hair emergence at 8 C was first noted at 72 h. By 24 h at 18 C, 15 to 74% of seeds had hairs, and at 28 C, hairs were visible on 75 to 94% of seeds. Germination at 18 and 28 C was 80% at 96 h; germination at 8 C did not exceed 80% until 168 h. Less than 4% of germinated seeds were without coleorhizal hairs. Appearance of coleorhizal hairs confirmed that germinating medusahead embryos were active at least 72 h before germination was complete. These data affirm coleorhizal hairs are a normal part of medusahead germination biology. Coleorhizal hairs probably aid early phases of medusahead seedling establishment.

“Liberalism” is a late modern word, appearing first (along with “conservatism,” “socialism,” and “communism”) in the early nineteenth century. Its basic ideas are old. The particular freedoms called for have changed as the denials of freedom have changed. The demands have been for liberation from oppressive political rule or intolerant ecclesiastical authority; or from a status of slavery or serfdom; from restraints embodied in laws and customs that hamper the rise of new productive forces, or from limitations on equal opportunity resulting from narrow concentrations of private economic power; from limitations on voting rights and from interferences with freedom of religion, speech, and association. The constant concern has been with pleas for deliverance from restraints which, although perhaps widely regarded at a given time as a normal part of life, have come to be regarded, by some in the community, as unnatural and intolerable.

The conduct of non-operator audits is a fundamental safeguard built into most joint venture agreements. The conduct of such audits should be regarded as a normal part of managing the relationship between the operator and the other parties to the joint venture, and should, where possible, be undertaken by the joint venture participants' own finance staff rather than abdicated to third parties.The audits should be expedited in a professional manner and cause the operator the least disruption.The purpose of audits should be to confirm trust in the operator. Accordingly, they should focus on the operator's systems and procedures for ensuring compliance with the JOA.
