Analysis of Threat Risk and Vulnerability in Network Security Along with Countermeasures to Overcome the Damages in an Enterprise Network

The research is conducted based on analysis of threat, risk and vulnerability in an enterprise network along with countermeasures to overcome the security incidents in an enterprise network. It is clear that most of the businesses are running using internet to store and share data between employees and customers, because data are precious and an asset for an organization. So, there is a high chance of losing data due to threat, risk and vulnerability in an enterprise network. However, there is a need of awareness and understanding between threat, risk and vulnerability including countermeasures to protect data in rest and data in motion in a network. As well as information security aim to protect organizational data from unauthorized access, manipulation and destruction

Substantial and sustained reduction in under-5 mortality, diarrhea, and pneumonia in Oshikhandass, Pakistan : Evidence from two longitudinal cohort studies 15 years apart

Funding Information: Study 1 was funded through the Applied Diarrheal Disease Research Program at Harvard Institute for International Development with a grant from USAID (Project 936–5952, Cooperative Agreement # DPE-5952-A-00-5073-00), and the Aga Khan Health Service, Northern Areas and Chitral, Pakistan. Study 2 was funded by the Pakistan US S&T Cooperative Agreement between the Pakistan Higher Education Commission (HEC) (No.4–421/PAK-US/HEC/2010/955, grant to the Karakoram International University) and US National Academies of Science (Grant Number PGA-P211012 from NAS to the Fogarty International Center). The funding bodies had no role in the design of the study, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or writing of the manuscript.

Educational leadership policies and practices: Voices from developing countries

Educational Leadership Policies and Practices highlights voices from different developing countries that echo the need for sustainable, enabling, and liberating educational leadership that will stimulate ideas and ideals to usher new ways of looking at old problems of educational leadership. The chapters, largely, are based on original empirical field research, learnings drawn from applied research, and study of organizational learning. In addition, they are based on policy analysis and analytical deconstruction of the mind-boggling nuances of pedagogical, transformational, or transforming leadership theories. In an area where so little has been written on school and system leaders, Educational Leadership Policies and Practices: Voices from the Developing Countries is a very welcome contribution to the field. The various authors do a great job of portraying how radically different the contexts are for making education progress as leaders. We see the familiar concepts: transformational, moral, pedagogical, capacity building, contingent, mobilizing community, and so on, but the contexts are so different that the findings and lessons generate new ideas about leadership. The six main leadership lessons for less developed countries examined in the final chapter are especially powerful.

Prevalence of Bacteria in Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media Patients and Their Sensitivity Patterns Against Various Antibiotics in Human Population of Gilgit

Abstract.-The objective of this study was to determine the microbial profile and their antibiograms for Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) patients in Gilgit and the early effective antibiotic treatment based on the knowledge of causative agents. Discharge specimens from the ears of 57 CSOM patients were bacteriologically investigated by standard methods and the bacterial strains were identified using biochemical tests. The age of patients in this study ranged from under 1 year to 60 years with 18 patients under 10 years (39.2%) followed by 16 patients of 11-20 years (34.9%) and in the older age group of over 50 years, there was no infestation. Gender ratio amongst the 57 patients was 32 (56.1%) males and 25 (43.9%) females and infestation was also high in 25 males (43.9%) as compared to 21 females (45.6%). There were 46 (80%) patients with monomicrobial infestations the most common infestation was Staphylococcus aureus with 30 (65.2%) patients, followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7 (15.2%), Proteus mirabilis 6 (13.0%) and Escherichia coli 3 (6.2%). Ceftriaxone was the drug of choice for treatment of CSOM, with an overall sensitivity amongst 41 (89.2%) patients and was followed by 38 patients sensitive to Ofloxacin (82.6%). Ampicillin and Cephalexin were the least effective drugs with sensitivities of 10 (2.17%) and 12 (26.1%) patients, respectively

Catalytic conversion and chemical recovery

Polymers are large molecules, whether natural or synthetic, that are brought together through polymerization and give rise to a wide range of products and applications in the manufacturing, medical, engineering, fashion, and aviation sector. The increase in the world’s demand for polymers has led to an accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, specifically in landfills, that has serious consequences to human and animal health. The nonbiodegradable nature of synthetic polymers has produced the need for more sustainable and efficient waste processing methods like pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a chemical process that treats plastic waste with thermal energy to recover desirable products such as fuels for energy and chemical feedstocks. This process has attracted a lot of attention due to the fact that it does not produce harmful gases, and has lower carbon monoxide and dioxide emissions when compared to other plastic solid waste (PSW) methods. In this work, the catalytic and noncatalytic methods are discussed along with an in-depth review of the different techniques used in the pyrolysis process. The operation variables effect is also discussed, as well as the different reactor types. A review of different processing and co-processing methods is also highlighted
