  Abstract
  Background: Among children, Joubert’s syndrome (JS) is a genetic disorder of cerebellar development featured by developmental delay, ataxia, decreased muscle tone and abnormal eye movements. Methods:To date there are limited case studies available reporting role of Physiotherapy rehabilitation along with 4 years follow-up with structural (French angles), motor (GMFM) and functional outcome measure (weeFIM) documentation in JS. Hence, reporting a rare case experience with long term effect of Physiotherapy treatment in rehabilitation in JS. Results:There was an improvement in structural joint angles of upper and lower limbs in each follow up measured by universak goniometer. There was an improved gross motor function and functional independence level of child with Joubert’s syndrome in each successive years with Physiotherapy rehabilitation program. Conclusion:The institutional multiple-neurophysiological-approach-based treatment ( including NDT/Roods/sensory stimulation/ sensory integration/ strength training/, balance training, functional training/Task oriented-goal directed treatment approaches) is effective in case of JS.

  Abstract
  This study analyses with capital structure determinants of Oman food industry firm’s characteristics during the period of 2016-2020. This study will be assessing 14 companies which listed in Muscat Securities Market for the period of 5 years. Purpose sampling method has been used for this study. Financial leverage is considered as dependent variable and size, profit, tangibility and market to book ratio as independent variables. Obtained results shows leverage, size, and profit level is not good in food industry, whereas tangibility and market-to-book ratio value is good. Companies who have low profit and show positive correlation between leverage and tangibility should not borrow from market to avoid any intricacies in future. This study also exhibit that firm leverage has not have any relationship with financial performance of Oman food industry for selected sample period. Eventually, from this study researcher has observed that profit plays a vital role in firm development more than its size and tangibility to expand its business functions. It is recommended by this research that firm managers of Oman food industry should focus more on generating profit activities in operating functions among other determinants. This research can assist Oman food industry firm managers to initiate preventive action before implementation of any financing or operating decision in their domain. This study also emphasise with contemporary literature who experimented with capital determinants in different phase which enhance corporate managers thoughts to resist any challenges.

According to the data, 90 percent of business owners suffered a loss in monthly income below Rs. 10,000 as a result of their company`s temporary shutdown following the Covid-19 pandemic. Only 10% of company owners with monthly incomes between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 15,000, such as wholesalers, vegetable sellers, seafood shops, and secondhand stores, have noticed a decrease in revenue. Finally, it demonstrates that the majority of respondents (about 82%) experienced issues with covid limitations, which resulted in the temporary shutdown of their enterprises. About 10 percent of the businesses, especially wholesalers and vegetable vendors, were having difficulty supplying supplies due to excessive demand, and the shops could only stay open with significant restrictions. In addition, about 8 percent of small enterprises are experiencing an increase in the price of raw materials. As a result, the covid-19 epidemic has had a major effect on small enterprises throughout Nagaland.

  Abstract
  Block chain base triple entry accounting system is being termed as the fifth disruptive innovation in computing. In simple terms, it is an immutable and verifiable distributed ledger of records. It will soon take the place of the traditional double accounting system.This paper attempts to focus on identification whether blockchain base triple entry accounting system will replace double entry accounting system. It tried to find out the justification of replacement of triple accounting through SWOT Analysis of blockchain technology. Blockchain base triple entry system is very sound on security and transparency point of view. Actually these features were missing in double entry system, but are need of today’s time. That’s why this block chain takes place in heart, mind and working of the people. It is assumed that due to its immutability feature this technique is far better to traditional accounting system. All the opportunities like decentralize and immutability in triple entry system was not available in traditional entry system. So, triple entry system can be said far better than double entry. On the other hand it is not find suitable for all the parameter of strength and opportunity. Most of the weaknesses and threats of double entry system has been still unsolved. That’s why author recommended 4- Dimensional accounting system. Here is a need of an improved technology means 4- Dimensional accounting system. It is assumed, this 4-D system will replace triple accounting by 2030.

  Abstract
  The study aimed at examining the determinants of savings and credit access in Bugembe town council. This is a cross sectional study that used quantitative approaches to collect data from both men and women aged 18 years and above. Data analysis was done at both univariate and bivariate levels using SPSS. Study results showed that financial literacy and occupation were significantly associated with access to credit. Gender of respondents, financial literacy, household headship, and marital status were significantly associated with savings. Conclusively financial literacy being a significant factor for both savings and credit access, there is need for both the public and private stakeholders to provide financial literacy trainings to the people in the country especially those in the rural and remote areas so that people get more informed about the various financial related services, learn basic financial related skills and be able to make the right financial decisions.

  Abstract
  This research employed the descriptive qualitative method, specifically content analysis of the online news sources of the published articles from the mainstream media and alternative media about President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III (PNoy) State of the Nation Address (SONA) from the years 2012-2014. This study aimed to identify the news articles published before, during, and after the day of PNoy’s SONA, classify the sources cited, and determine which of the two media outlets are more traditional and non-traditional in citing their sources. Online news articles from Inquirer.net (a mainstream media agency) and Mindanews.com, Sustar.com.ph, and Bulatlat.com (alternative media agencies) were used. Based on the data, it showed that the mainstream media is more traditional while alternative media is more non-traditional in sourcing their news reports. The findings also showed that there were more sources cited by the alternative media in their news reports than by the mainstream media.
