There are strong evidences linking consumption of the food products/items to increased incidences of specific cancers in the various organs and body parts of the humans [1,2]. There are some everyday foods and drinks that are labelled as carcinogenic as these food products/items surely contain some natural toxins, adulterants, artificial colourants, additives, preservatives, and residues of insecticides or many other unwanted/unavoidable chemicals/ ingredients [2]. These foods can cause cancer if taken for long duration and these items are processed meats (i.e. any meat that has been preserved by curing, salting or smoking, or by adding chemical preservatives) sausages, hot dogs, pepperoni, alcoholic beverages, salted fish, burned or heavily barbecued foods, red meat including, mutton, pork, lamb, hot beverages (>65 °C), polluted air and water [1,2].

Female students are usually outnumbered by their male counterpart in both academic participation and achievement in all disciplines particularly in tertiary education [1-5]. This study was carried out on first year female students of Afan Oromo department in BuleHora University which is located at 467km south of Addis Ababa. The study was aimed to find out factors that influenced the contribution of first year female students’ in Afan Oromo Department on their academic achievement at the first semester of 2016. All first year female students and instructors of Afan Oromo department in the University who participated in tutorial classes in the first semester of 2016 were the focus of this study. The first year Afan Oromo female students and instructors who thought them were administered the questionnaire papers without random sampling. Data were analyzed using SPSS software and the result showed that 100% of the female students and instructors were highly interested in tutorial class. 54.29% of the students responded that teachers did not make proper use of their time. 68.57% of the students took part in tutorial class for general knowledge and 28.57% of them to part in order to obtain maximum result. From the allocated 16 hours, 57.14% used between 10 to 16 hours while 25.71% used 2-4 hours. Insufficient time was the major factor that hindered female students due to teachers’ unavailability as 71.43% of the students responded. While lack of class room had less influence on their performance as 5.71% of the students responded. The female students’ low academic achievement that semester was a result of insufficient tutorial. Therefore, it is important to take sufficient time to teach and improve female students’ academic achievement at future.

Understanding the impacts of climatic factors on cotton production may help physiologists to determine the control mechanisms of boll retention in cotton. However, weather affects crop growth interactively, sometimes resulting in unexpected responses to prevailing conditions. Field trials, using cotton G. barbadense were carried out, to investigate the relationships between climatic factors, soil moisture status, and flower and boll production. The climatic factors considered were, i.e., daily data of maximum air temperature (°C), minimum air temperatures (°C), maximum-minimum temperature (diurnal temperature range or temperature magnitude) (°C), sunshine duration (hd-1), maximum humidity (%), minimum humidity (%) and wind speed (ms-1). It could be generally concluded that minimum humidity (water stress) and sunshine duration, were the most significant climatic factors affecting cotton flower and boll production and retention in Egyptian. Temperature appeared to be less important in the reproduction growth stage of cotton in Egypt than minimum humidity and sunshine duration. The soil moisture status showed low and insignificant correlation to flower and boll production. The positive correlation between minimum humidity value along with the negative correlation between each ofhigh maximum air temperature(temperature equalled or exceeded 37.5°C) and sunshine duration with flower and boll formation, indicate that high value of minimum humidity, short period of sunshine duration and low value of temperature would enhance flower and boll formation.

C. Let’s enshrine the iconic biomechanical terminology and nomenclature (that has served its purpose) that is now inert, unscientific, poorly defined, poorly evidenced, poorly understood that is acting as a wedge to growth of the science. Let’s start with jettisoning terminology like subtalar joint neutral position & casting, forefoot valgus, forefoot varus, pronation, hyperpronation, the arches of the foot, normal and neutral in no special order when it comes to biomechanics and orthotics. For decades, there have been few if any high level peer reviewed clinically applicable additions to the literature. This is due to the inability for researchers to develop cohorts that produce evidence that is clinically viable and applicable and the lack of consensus surrounding CFO’s in the biomedical engineering community.

Biomedical waste is highly hazardous which can give rise to serious diseases that may be fatal; therefore it is a matter of global concern. Biomedical waste management is of great importance to reduce the serious health implications. This article deals with the basic issues of biomedical waste disposal and management of biomedical waste. Its purpose is to spread knowledge among the personnel involved in health care services to prevent transmission of the diseases in the society and to protect public health and environment.

This author has known Medical Hypotheses several years ago, unfortunately did not know that it is available online until lately, when he read Prof. Gong Peng’s important hypotheses. This author has been honored to receive the invitation from Prof. Ping Gong [an oral surgeon in China] for our potential collaboration in the near future. In the meantime, please correct some possible errors in this author’s own writing as presented below, and the possibility of applying his own concepts into the important future research. In fact, science in Latin means to know. And, religion means to cultivate (cult, cultus, and agriculture). Science aims to know what God created, while religion in Christian sense aims to cultivate a closer relationship with the creator/savior Himself.
