Siddha is considered to be one of the oldest medicines with its own benefits. In this modern era, people are more aware towards their health. At many circumstances of illness, people use Siddha medicines to cure their disease. Siddha is preferred for its own specialties. This paper has attempted to reveal the awareness towards Siddha medicines taking 52 respondents from Dharmapuri City. The results were analysed by using various statistical techniques like percentage analysis, chi-square and t test. Siddha focuses on the eight supernatural powers called as ‘Ashtaamahasiddhi’ and those who achieved these powers were known as siddhars. Hence it is called as siddha medicine. The siddhars knowledge was found in palm leaf manuscripts and their fragments were found in some parts of south India.

Radiographic Mandibular Indices serve as easy and relatively cheap tools for evaluating bone mineralization. Objectives: To examine the effect of age and gender on three mandibular indices: the panoramic mandibular index (PMI), the mandibular ratio (MR) and the mandibular cortical index (MCI), among Libyan population. Methods: The three indices were measured on 317 digital (OPGs) of adult humans (155 males, 162 females). The sample was divided into six age groups (from 18-25 years through 56-65 years). The measurements were analyzed for interactions with age and sex, using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Studies) software version no. 22. The tests employed were two way ANOVA, the unpaired T-test and chi-square test. Results: The mean PMI fluctuated between 0.37 s.d. 0.012 and 0.38 s.d. 0.012. among the sixth age groups. One-way ANOVA statistical test revealed no significant of age on PMI. On the other hand gender variation has effect on PMI, since independent sample t-test disclosed that the difference between the male and female PMI means statistically significant. ANOVA test showed that the means of MR among age groups showed a negative correlation i.e. MR mean declined from 3.01 in 18-25 age groups to 2.7 in 55-65 age groups. In contrary, the gender showed no effect on MR according two sample t-test at p> 0.05. In regards with MCI, statistical analysis showed that it affected by age that is C1 was decreasing by age while C2 and C3 were increased by age. Using chi square test the result indicated that there is a significant difference among the different age group and the two genders in MCI readings. Conclusion: PMI was influenced significantly by age but minimally by the gender. MR is not affected by gender but has a negative correlation with age. MCI is affected by both age and gender

Frauds in insurance are typically where a fraudster tries to gain undue benefit from the insurance contract by ignorance or wilful manipulation. Using the claims data in motor insurance obtained from a Mumbai based insurance company for the time period of 2010-2016, this study focuses on studying the pattern exhibited by those claims which have been rejected and accepted as well. The prime objective of the study is to identify the important or the significant triggers of fraud and predicting the fraudulent behaviour of the customers using the identified triggers in an existing algorithm. This study makes use of statistical techniques like logistic regression & CHAID (Chi Square Automatic Interaction Detection) technique to identify the significant fraud triggers and to determine the probability of rejection & acceptance of each claim coming in future respectively. Data mining techniques like decision tree and confusion matrix are used on the important parameters to find all possible combinations of these significant variables and the bucket for each combination.This study finds that variables like Seats/Tonnage, No Claim Bonus, Type of Vehicle, Gross Written Premium, Sum Insured, Discounts, State Similarity and Previous Insurance details are found to be significant at 1% level of significance. The variables like Branch Code and Risk Types are found to be significant at 5% level of signify cance. The Gain chart depicts that our model is a fairly good model. This research would help the insurance company in settling the legitimate claims within less time and less cost and would also help in identifying the fraudulent claims.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a form of gastrointestinal motility disorder, where stomach contents reenter the esophagus and oral cavity, causing symptoms and complications. GERD is a condition that is quite often experienced, where the prevalence estimated at 8 - 33% worldwide. One of the suspected cause of  GERD is Ramadan fasting, which has been routinely carried out by Muslim groups. This study aims to prove whether Ramadan fasting triggers GERD. A cross-sectional study (survey) conducted online via Google form on the last three days of the fasting month (21 May 2020 - 23 May 2020). The variables in this study were respondents who fasted Ramadan and those who did not fast, also the total value of the GERD-Q questionnaire along with the final conclusions. Statistical analysis using Chi square with Yates Correction and Independent T-test with Mann Whitney Alternative Test. 311 respondents met the inclusion criteria. The results of Mann Whitney statistical test found that there was no difference in the mean value of the total GERD-Q questionnaire between the fasting and non-fasting groups (p-value: 0.313). Pearson Chi Square with Yates Correction results found no significant relationship between fasting and incidence of GERD (p-value: 0.552), although clinically there was a possibility of fasting had a risk of 1,228 (95% CI: 0.772 -2,088) times to trigger GERD incident.as Conclusion, Ramadan fasting has not been shown to improve GERD symptoms. Further research needs to be done through longitudinal studies. Keywords: GERD; digestion; Ramadan fastingABSTRAKGastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) merupakan suatu bentuk gangguan motilitas saluran cerna, dimana isi lambung masuk kembali ke dalam esofagus dan rongga mulut, sehingga menyebabkan gejala dan komplikasi. GERD merupakan kondisi yang cukup sering dialami, dimana prevalensinya diperkirakan mencapai 8 – 33% di seluruh dunia. Salah satu faktor yang diperkirakan sebagai penyebab GERD adalah puasa Ramadhan yang selama ini rutin dijalankan oleh kelompok Muslim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuktikan apakah puasa Ramadhan mencetuskan kejadian GERD. Penelitian potong lintang (survei) yang dilaksanakan secara online melalui google form pada tiga hari terakhir bulan puasa Ramadhan 2020 (21 Mei 2020 – 23 Mei 2020). Variabel dalam penelitian ini adalah responden yang berpuasa Ramadhan maupun yang tidak berpuasa Ramadhan dan nilai total kuesioner GERD-Q beserta kesimpulan akhir dari kuesioner GERD-Q. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji statistik Chi square with Yates Correction dan Independent T-test dengan Uji Alternatif Mann Whitney. 311 responden memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Hasil uji statistik Mann Whitney tidak terdapat perbedaan rerata nilai total kuesioner GERD-Q antara kelompok yang berpuasa dan tidak berpuasa (p-value : 0,313). Hasil uji statistik Pearson Chi Square with Yates Correction didapatkan hubungan yang tidak bermakna antara berpuasa dengan kejadian GERD (p-value : 0,552), walaupun secara klinis ditemukan adanya kemungkinan yang berpuasa lebih berisiko 1,228 (CI 95% : 0,772 -2,088) kali untuk mencetuskan kejadian GERD. Sebagai kesimpulan, Puasa Ramadhan tidak terbukti meningkatkan gejala-gejala GERD. Perlu dilakukan penelitian lebih lanjut melalui studi longitudinal untuk tindak lanjut hasil penelitian ini.

Η διατριβή έχει ως στόχο την απεικόνιση του επιθέτου της Νέας Ελληνικής που διδάσκεται σε αλλόγλωσσους ενήλικες μαθητές. Η παρουσίαση του επιθέτου πραγματοποιείται με γνώμονα τα μορφολογικά του χαρακτηριστικά. Η στοχοθεσία είναι διπλή. Από τη μία πλευρά, με την Έρευνα Α, επιδιώκεται να παρουσιαστεί η στατική αποτύπωση της εικόνας του επιθέτου σε γραπτές παραγωγές αρχάριων, μέσων και προχωρημένων διδασκομένων της Ελληνικής. Από την άλλη πλευρά, με την Έρευνα Β, υπογραμμίζεται η δυναμική του εικόνα και η εξέλιξή του στη διαγλώσσα των εκπαιδευομένων, οι οποίοι ανήκουν σε όλα τα επίπεδα ελληνομάθειας. Η θεωρητική προσέγγιση της διατριβής στηρίζεται στη Θεωρία της Διαγλώσσας, την Ανάλυση Λαθών, το Σώμα Κειμένων Μαθητικού Λόγου και την Ποσοτική και Στατιστική Ανάλυση Λαθών. Αποτυπώνεται το γλωσσικό εξαγόμενο, η γνώση που έχουν κατακτήσει οι μαθητές, η εκμάθηση του επιθέτου και η επίδραση που έχει η διδασκαλία στην εκμάθησή του. Για τη μελέτη του υιοθετούνται στοχευμένες διδακτικές παρεμβάσεις, η Εστίαση στον Τύπο και η Διεργαστική Διδασκαλία. Αρχικά, κρίνεται απαραίτητη η παρουσίαση του επιθέτου στα Αναλυτικά Προγράμματα διδασκαλίας και στα εγχειρίδια της Ελληνικής ως Γ2. Η ανά χείρας μελέτη θέτει σε νέα βάση το επίθετο, αφού δεν κατηγοριοποιείται σύμφωνα με το γραμματικό γένος, αλλά με κριτήριο τη μορφολογία των πτώσεων, κατά το πρότυπο της Γραμματικής της Νέας Ελληνικής, Δομολειτουργικής – Επικοινωνιακής, των Κλαίρη & Μπαμπινιώτη (2004). Για τους ερευνητικούς σκοπούς της διδακτορικής διατριβής σχεδιάζεται και πραγματοποιείται ποσοτική έρευνα. Η συλλογή των ερευνητικών δεδομένων, που συνθέτουν τη στατική εικόνα του επιθέτου, προκύπτει μέσω της συμπλήρωσης των τεστ ελληνομάθειας και πιο συγκεκριμένα από την καταγραφή του γλωσσικού υλικού που υπάρχει σε δύο τύπους ασκήσεων, έναν ελεγχόμενο και έναν μη ελεγχόμενο. Το δείγμα αποτελούν 198 αλλόγλωσσοι μαθητές, το προφίλ των οποίων περιλαμβάνει το επίπεδο ελληνομάθειας, το φύλο, τη χώρα προέλευσης, τον αριθμό μητρώου και τη βαθμολογία τους. Η συγκέντρωση των ερευνητικών δεδομένων, που συνιστούν τη δυναμική εικόνα του επιθέτου, επιτυγχάνεται σε δύο φάσεις. Πριν από αυτές συλλέγονται ερωτηματολόγια που σχετίζονται με το προφίλ των μαθητών, που περιέχει την ηλικία, τις γλώσσες που ξέρουν, την εκπαίδευσή τους, τη γνώση των Ελληνικών, τη διάρκεια παραμονής στην Ελλάδα, το κίνητρο εκμάθησης και τη σχέση τους με την Ελλάδα. Το δείγμα αποτελούν 99 ξενόγλωσσοι διδασκόμενοι. Στην πρώτη φάση συμπληρώνονται τεστ που περιλαμβάνουν δύο τύπους ασκήσεων, έναν κατευθυνόμενο και έναν μη κατευθυνόμενο. Τρεις εβδομάδες μετά, ακολουθεί η δεύτερη φάση με τρεις τρίωρες διδακτικές παρεμβάσεις και τη συμπλήρωση των ίδιων τεστ από τους ίδιους 99 μαθητές, με σκοπό την παρατήρηση και καταγραφή της εξέλιξης της επίδοσης των διδασκομένων στην κατάκτηση του υπό έρευνα φαινομένου. Αποδεικνύεται, επιβεβαιώνοντας και ευρήματα προηγούμενων ερευνών, πως και στον κατευθυνόμενο και στον μη κατευθυνόμενο τύπο άσκησης, τα περισσότερα λάθη παρατηρούνται στο γένος, μετά στον αριθμό και τέλος, στην πτώση. Πολλά είναι τα λάθη στους τύπους των επιθέτων όταν προσδιορίζουν το ουσιαστικό και όταν υπάρχει συμφωνία του υποκειμένου με το κατηγορούμενο. Τα πιο πολλά λάθη επισημειώνονται στα επίθετα τύπου μεγάλος -η -ο και στο επίθετο πολύς. Ακολουθούν τα λόγια επίθετα τύπου ασθενής -ής -ές, τα επίθετα τύπου σταχτής -ιά -ύ, τα επίθετα σε -ων -ουσα -ον, σε -ης -α -ικο, σε -εις -εισα -εν, σε -ων -ων -ον και στα άκλιτα επίθετα. Από τη στατιστική επεξεργασία των δεδομένων της Έρευνας Α, προκύπτει μια φθίνουσα πορεία, σχεδόν, σε όλους τους τύπους λαθών, ανά επίπεδο κατάκτησης. Από τη στατιστική επεξεργασία των δεδομένων της Έρευνας Β παρουσιάζεται, ξανά, μια φθίνουσα πορεία σε όλους τους λανθασμένους τύπους, ανά επίπεδο κατάκτησης και μάλιστα αναδεικνύεται, μεταξύ του γλωσσικού υλικού της πρώτης και της δεύτερης φάσης, η σαφώς βελτιωμένη εικόνα της απόδοσης των μαθητών στις μορφολογικές δέσμες του επιθέτου συνολικά αλλά και ανά επίπεδο. Για τον έλεγχο στατιστικά σημαντικών διαφορών στις επιδόσεις των δύο τύπων ασκήσεων χρησιμοποιείται ο έλεγχος T-Test για ζεύγη δειγμάτων και το στατιστικό τεστ Chi-Square Test.

Introduction and objective: Mixed dentition space analysis methods via Tanaka-Johnston analysis are regularly used all over the world. Conversely, the appropriate of this analysis between different ethnic groups is dubious. The study aimed to test the appropriate of the Tanaka-Johnston analysis for Yemeni adults and to arise regression equations designed for Yemen population if needed.  Methods: The study included two hundred and twenty-seven (106 males and 121 females) Yemenis from Sana'a University, University of Science and Technology, and Al-Rehab Private Clinic. The mesiodistal widths of the four permanent lower canines, incisors, and premolars for the entire quadrants were determined with a digital caliper to the nearest 0.01 mm. To compare average presentation values ​​derived from this study with values ​​derived using Tanaka-Johnston equations, Student's paired t-test was used, as well as the chi-square (χ2) test used for appropriateness of fit. Result: Gender differences were observed in the total mesiodistal width of both canines and premolars in both arches as revealed by the t-test (p < 0.001). The sum of the actual mesiodistal width of the canines and premolars was compared with the expected widths derived from the Tanaka and Johnston equation and significant differences (p<0.001) were found. Regression analysis indicated that the sum of the mesiodistal width of the permanent mandibular incisors is a good predictor of that of un-erupted canines and premolars, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.51 to 0.61. Accordingly, two linear regression equations were developed to predict tooth width for Yemeni males and females. Conclusion: It was concluded from this study that the Tanaka-Johnston analysis did not accurately predict the mesiodistal width of the unruptured canines and premolars of the Yemeni population. Moreover, new regression equations have been developed for the research sample that can be a standard for Yemen. However, further studies must be performed to verify the applicability and accuracy of these equations.                   Peer Review History: Received: 10 November 2021; Revised: 12 December; Accepted: 29 December, Available online: 15 January 2022 Academic Editor: Dr. Asia Selman Abdullah, Pharmacy institute, University of Basrah, Iraq, [email protected] UJPR follows the most transparent and toughest ‘Advanced OPEN peer review’ system.
