Implementing smoke test technique on online application

Software testing primarily has two purposes (1) evaluate an attribute or capability of a program, (2) ensure the program delivers expected outcomes. There are many approaches of software testing but complex product testing cannot be done through routine procedures, instead, it involves a process of investigation. The primary concern of software testing revolves around the selection of testing strategy to meet the specific testing requirements. Therefore, it can be commented that selection of the right strategy in right time can make the software testing efficient and effective. Software testing is a set of activities that intent to find errors in software. This attempts to detect the bugs that create software malfunctions and verifies and validates the functionality of the software. In this project, software testing by implementing smoke test technique on Online Application will help the company to test their product see whether this module will meet the customer requirements and also decrease the determines of producing faulty software. This is used to detect defects early in the software development lifecycle and give idea whether this module is ready or not to save the time and effort to start the further formal testing. Smoke test is probably the most important test, it gives the confidence that the application actually runs. If it does not run, smoke test should be able to give us some basic diagnostics as to whether this application is down because something it depends on is not working. With this process we can have preliminary testing on the product and able to gage the risk and the status from it. Testing process in this project involves: study and analysis requirements, design test cases, document them in detailed, writing test procedures in formal document, execute test cases, automated all written test cases by using selenium tool, and report all detected defects among test execution process. All detected defects were reported

M. tuberculosis in Lymph Node Biopsy Paraffin-Embedded Sections

Background. Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is one of the most common forms of all extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Objective. To evaluate the magnitude of M. tuberculosis from lymph node biopsy paraffin-embedded sections among suspected patients visiting the Jimma University Specialized Hospital. Method. A cross-sectional study design of histological examination among lymph node biopsy paraffin-embedded sections by Ziehl-Neelsen and hematoxylin/eosin staining technique was conducted from December, 2009, to October, 2010, at the Department of Medical Laboratory Science and Pathology. Result. Histopathological examination of the specimens by hematoxylin and eosin staining technique revealed the presence of granulomas. But for the caseation and necrosis they were present in 85% cases of nodal tissue biopsies. From those, 56.7% were from females. The presence of acid-fast bacilli was microscopically confirmed by ZN staining in 37 (61.7%) of the nodal tissue biopsies. Conclusion and Recommendation. Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is significantly more common in females. Hence, attention should be given for control and prevention of extrapulmonary tuberculosis

Assessment of Elderly’s Nutritional status in Geriatric Homes at Al-Furat Al-Awusat Governorates

AbstractObjective:Assess the elderly’s nutritional status through the dietary habits and anthropometric measures.Methodology: A descriptive (cross-sectional) study is carried out from Nov 1st,2014 to July9th-2015 to assess elderly’s nutritional status at geriatric homes in Al-Furat Al-Awusat governorates through a simple random sample of (120) elderly people aged 65 and above who live in geriatric homes. Data were collected through the use of the questionnaire and interview method, and analyzed through the application of descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis.Results The study demonstrated that the majority of the sample at age group(76-80) years old (28.3%), more than half of the sample (58.3%) is males and the remaining is female. Relative subjects level of education, the greater number of them are within middle and high level of education and they accounted for (28.3%). the majority of them did not use dentures use (83.3%),majority of them are not smokers (70%),while (63.3%) of them were using medication. More than half of BMI and MUAC accounted for overweight (53.3%) and (55.8%) respectively.Conclusions: majority of them have signs and symptoms including easy hair loss and bleaching nails. Most of the old residents do not customarily take vitamins andMinerals intake.Recommendations: The study recommended the following: promotion of nutritional system to be implemented for old age residents and routine annual nutritional assessment and evaluation can be done to old age individuals in geriatric homes and a nutritional educational program can be used as a means for nutritional health awareness. Nutritional specialized nurses, nutritionists can make regular visits to provide supervision on the quality of the food introduced to elderly residents. A comparative study should be conducted between elderly geriatric home residents and community elderly nutritional status.Key words: Nutrition, Ederle’s, Anthropometric Measure

Different Factors Effects In Lactating Mother's Milk Compositions

This study was carried to estimate the effects of different factors on the total protein and lipid concentrations in lactating mother's milk, such as; home, age, body mass index, lactating stage and negative smoking habitat. Total Protein concentration and lipid concentration were estimated using Bradford method and Gravimetric method respectively. Results showed that lipid concentration(L.C) increased with age,  BMI, lactation stage, and affected by  negative smoking and increased in rural,  while protein concentration (P.C)was less effected by age, and decreased in obese and in negative smoking mothers, also it decreased in urban mothers. Protein profile showed slight differences between nonsmoking and negative smoking milk using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. Key words: negative smoking, BMI, lactating mother’s milk.

Influence of Gender on the Relationship Between Eating Behaviors, Age and BMI in People in Benghazi, Benghazi, Libya

Obesity is recognized as one of the major nutrition related disorders around the world. Eating behaviours affect caloric intake and are implicated in the development of obesity. Three types of eating behaviours (cognitive restraint (CR), emotional eating (EE) and uncontrolled eating (UE)) have been studied for associations with obesity in various populations. The aim of the present work was to investigate the interactions between eating behavior and age and to determine the influence of gender on this relationship. This study was conducted on 351 volunteers from Benghazi University students and staff, eating behaviours were measured using the revised three-factor eating questionnaire (TFEQ-R18). Anthropometric measurements for all participants included in this study were measured and BMI was calculated. The finding of this study showed that the age was (26.12 ± 7.749), BMI (23.99 ± 5.003), Cognitive Restraint (15.83 ± 3.662), Emotional Eating (6.74 ± 2.028), and Uncontrolled Eating (20.83 ± 4.338). The study found positive relationship between age and cognitive restraint (r = 0.110*, p = 0.039) and between age and emotional eating (r = 0.123*, p = 0.021). However, relationships were stronger only in women, the study also found a positive relationship between BMI and cognitive restraint (r = 0.184**, p < .01), emotional eating (r = 0.217**, p < .01) and uncontrolled eating (r = 0.260**, p < .01) for the whole sample. But when we split the population by sex the relationships were significant only in women. The results of this study show age was associated with cognitive restraint and emotional eating only in female.  BMI was positively correlated with three factor eating score, when the sample divided by sex, the association were significant only in women

Inhibition the mutagenicity of vitamin a by using Olea europaea extract

This study aims to investigate the predisposition of the extraction of the extract of olive leaves (Olea europaea of the family Oleaceae, or the olive family) to frustrate the excretion of the inherent toxic caused by vitamin A (henceforth VA). After being sure that the extraction is inane of any negative effects on the living creature, the following tests are adopted, the mitotic index test of the medulla ossium of the bones, and the chromosomal aberration test. The results showed that toxic dose of vitamin A have cytogenetic effect. It cusses increased in bone marrow cell proliferation and increase in chromosome malformation, the olea leaf extract showed anti-mutagenic activity against the cytogenetic effect of vitamin A it decrees chromosome malformation and kept the Mitotic index in normal level

Gestational diabetes prevalence and risk factors among pregnant women — Jazan Region, Saudi Arabia

Background. The gestational diabetes (GDM) is considered as a global public health problem that affects pregnant women. GDM can become chronic type II and usually it is associated with many risk factors that may lead to many serious complications for the mother and the fetus. The main objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of GDM among pregnant women in Jazan region and to determine the possible associated factors of the GDM. Material and methods. The study involved pregnant women attending department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at government hospitals of Jazan region. A sample of 440 pregnant women were randomly selected. Interviews were conducted using a questionnaire prepared to measure the GDM prevalence, risk factors, awareness and adherence to the advice of the doctor and medications. Results. The prevalence of gestational diabetes among pregnant women in Jazan is estimated at 8.2%. The GDM prevalence was significantly higher among obese women (20.2%; 95% CI 13.2–29.2) compared with women with normal weight (7.1%; 95% CI 1.7–7.6). The analysis showed that GDM was significantly associated with child weight more than 3.5 kg (OR 4.315; p = 0.004), mother’s BMI more than 30 kg/m2 (OR 4.703; p = 0.001), and family history of GDM (OR 2.606; p = 0.046). Conclusion. In conclusion, the GDM prevalence obtained in this study is more than global prevalence and less than other studies in KSA. The BMI of mothers and having neonates that weight more than 3.5 kg are the main risk factors for GDM. Suitable interventions programs are highly required for control and risk factor modifications
