    Abstract Imbuing superwetting functions to organic-inorganic hybrid networks displaying chemical resistance, self-cleaning ability, and selective permeation of liquids has received increasing attention in recent years. Here we report superhydrophobic ZIF-7 and ZIF-11 on multilayer fluorinated graphene (FG) nanosheets with long-lasting water-repellent features. By exploring the solution processing of these chemically resistant dispersions, superoleophilic FG-ZIF-7 stainless steel mesh (FG-ZIF-7-SSM) and FG-ZIF-11 over cotton cloth (FG-ZIF-11-CC) possessing superior adhesion were fabricated. These permselective oil-liking prototypes were explored toward mesitylene and crude oil pickup from chemically harsh marine conditions such as seawater, acidic water, and alkaline water, with a separation efficiency of 96-94% up to 10 cycles. Furthermore, using an FG-ZIF-11-CC-wrapped glass pipet, upward diffusion of chloroform from sea, acidic, and alkaline water in 45 s was demonstrated with a separation efficacy of 94% up to 20 cycles. In addition to the chemical resistance and reusability, the mechanical stability of FG-ZIF-7-SSM and FG-ZIF-11-CC was investigated through folding, tape peeling, and dragging through sandpaper up to 250 cycles, showing no signs of changes in the hydrophobic responses. This research sheds light on the application of physiochemically resistant percolation coatings based on fluorinated graphene multilayers supporting ZIF-7 and ZIF-11 toward oil/water separation.

    Abstract Bank credit to agriculture and industry plays a pivotal role in economic growth. It may stimulate the capital accumulation and rate of saving that further induce economic growth. However, there is no unanimous opinion on the relationship between bank credit to agriculture and industry, and economic growth. An attempt has been made to investigate the role of bank credit to agriculture and industry, and capital outlay on the per capita net state domestic product of India. To investigate such a relationship this study uses panel data regression techniques on different regions of India using the data from statistical handbook on Indian Economy published by RBI. The study finds that the fixed effect model is better than the random effect model and expansion of commercial banks credit to agriculture significantly and positively influences the per capita net state domestic product. Banks credit to the industry and capital outlay are not playing any significant role in stimulating per capita net state domestic product in various regions of India.

    Abstract Background: Traditional teaching of medical microbiology has revolved around an organism centric, didactic lecture approach, lacking clinical relevance and appeal. Studies have shown that case-based learning in comparison to didactic lectures leads to a greater comprehension and understanding of the subject. To conduct a pilot study in our medical. College for the current MBBS batch (2019) (following the old pattern of syllabus), on student perceptions on case based learning (CBL) before the new Competency based undergraduate curriculum is rolled out for 2021 batch coming to second year of MBBS.
    Methods: This pilot study was conducted at a medical college. The study was designed as an observational study on educational research and was approved by the institutional ethical committee (IEC). Study participants were second MBBS students willing to participate in the study (n = 60). Four topics were chosen to be taught as casebased scenarios as per the new CBME syllabus. Six weeks after the first CBL session was conducted, a survey questionnaire was given to the students to share their perceptions anonymously. The questionnaire had questions framed to assess the students' perception about CBL. The evaluation was done on a 5-point Likert. The responses collected were compiled in Microsoft excel sheet and the data was analysed statistically. Faculty perspective was also gathered.
    Results: Majority of the students perceived CBL positively. There was a shift in the student's perspective towards the subject of microbiology, from being perceived earlier as theoretical and non-clinical to being perceived as appealing and clinically relevant.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world globally causing widespread repercussions on individuals' physical, mental and emotional well-being. In such times, sleep is likely to be affected.
    Objective: The aim of this study was to present the available literature on sleep and also the foresight as to the future national strategy to mitigate the effects of this pandemic.
    Materials and methods: An extensive literature search on PubMed, Google Scholar, Epistemonikos database (https://www.epistemonikos.org), PsycINFO for available literature on the prevalence of sleep problem on COVID-19 was done. Cross-citation search was also conducted to increase relevance of the review. The key words used were- (((((((((((insomnia)) OR (sleep)) OR (sleepiness)) OR ("sleep quality")) OR (OSA)) OR ("obstructive sleep apnoea")) OR ("obstructive sleep apnea")) OR (("sleep problem")) AND "covid-19" OR covid19* OR "COVID-19" OR "2019-nCoV" OR cv19* OR "cv-19" OR "cv 19" OR "n-cov" OR ncov* OR "sars-cov-2" OR "sars-cov2" OR "2019-ncov" OR "SARS-Coronavirus-2" OR "SARS-Coronavirus2" OR (wuhan* AND (virus OR viruses OR viral)) OR (covid* AND (virus OR viruses OR viral)) OR "covid-19-related" OR "SARS-CoV-2-related" OR "SARS-CoV2-related" OR "2019-nCoV-related" OR "cv-19-related" OR "n-cov-related"). Inclusion criteria consisted of articles in English, published from Jan 2020 till 19 Apr 2020. Two reviewers independently screened each research study for inclusion and eligibility.
    Results and conclusion: Sleep is affected during COVID-19 pandemic in patients, their families, health-care workers and their families, population in isolation, and quarantine and as such in public. Limited literature exists with subjective data and no objective criteria were found to study sleep in COVID-19 pandemic. OSA was found to be a frequent baseline characteristic of COVID-19 patients. A need to follow guidelines is of paramount importance and strategies to better sleep in the population needs to be addressed.

    Abstract Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the flexural strength of heat polymerized denture base resin after thermocycling and different surface treatments done prior to repair or relining.
    Materials and methods: In this
    Results: The values of average flexural strength of denture base resin measured were as follows: group I: 111.1 MPa, group II: 86.9 MPa, group III: 73.1 MPa, and group IV: 78.8 MPa. Groups II and IV possessed superior flexural strength than group III. The maximum values were observed with the control group.
    Conclusion: The flexural strength of heat-polymerized denture base resin gets affected by different surface treatments done prior to relining procedures. Lowest flexural strength was obtained when treated with MMA monomer for 180 seconds as compared to the other etchants used.
    Clinical significance: Prior to denture repair procedures, operators must choose the chemical surface treatment judiciously. It should not affect the mechanical properties such as flexural strength of denture base resins. Reduction in flexural strength of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base can predispose the prosthesis to deteriorated performance when in function.

    Abstract Secret communication of sensitive data must progress in a trustworthy environment through data hiding. Using Mamdani fuzzy logic to identify color proximity at the block level and a shared secret key and post-processing system, this paper attempts to develop a robust data hiding scheme with similarity measures to ensure good visual quality, robustness, imperceptibility and enhance the security. In accordance with the Gestalt principle, proximity among the nearby objects is higher, whose value varies from expert to expert. Therefore, a possibility for type-I fuzzy logic to be used to evaluate proximity. Fuzzy proximity is computed by means of a difference in intensity (colordiff) and distance (closeness). Further, the block color proximity obtained from the proximity calculation network is graded using an interval threshold. Accordingly, data embedding is processed in the sequence generated by the shared secret keys. The tampering coincidence problem is solved through a post-processing approach to increase the quality and accuracy of the recovered secret message. The experimental analysis, steganalysis and comparisons clearly illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of visual quality, structural similarity, recoverability and robustness.

    Abstract This paper analyses the findings from qualitative interviews conducted as part of a cross-disciplinary pilot study into the efficacy of the Friendship Bench for promoting mental health amongst rural women living in Shurugwi District, Zimbabwe. Informed by UNICEF's nurturing care framework, the pilot study hypothesised that women's caring capabilities would be enhanced if a cost-effective intervention could be found for those suffering from common mental disorders (CMD), locally referred to as kufungisisa. Focusing on the women's accounts of their embodiment of kufungisisa, the paper further highlights the important role that gender plays in women's experience of common mental health disorders. More critically, it identifies the ways in which patriarchal social relations may be reinforced through the spaces of global health interventions such as the one reported on here. The paper concludes with a moment of self-reflection. Specifically, it poses the question that our paper, and the global health intervention it reports upon, would look very different if the women's experiences of kufungisisa were considered not only as they appear in the present but at the intersection of social and spatial relations that have much longer histories.
