An Assessment Of The Level Of Entrepreneurial Aspiration Of Ogun State Tertiary Institutions Students

The study investigated the level of entrepreneurial aspiration of tertiary institution students in Ogun State. A total of 204 students selected through the purposive sampling technique from Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago- Iwoye, University of Agriculture Abeokuta, Tai Solarin University of Agriculture and Moshood Abiola Polythenic participated in the study. Three research questions were raised and answered. A researcher-developed questionnaire tagged entrepreneurial aspiration scale (EAS) was the major instrument used for data collection. The frequency counts, simple percentage, t – test of significance and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were the major statistical tools employed in data analysis. Findings from the study revealed high level of entrepreneurial aspiration among tertiary institutions students in Ogun State. It was recommended, among others, that agencies responsible for self-employment and enterprises development in Nigeria should put in place appropriate programmes, such as giving interest free loan, free consultancy services, establishment of centre for enterprises development in tertiary institutions, so as to assist students to realize their entrepreneurial aspirations and launch them into the business world.

Gadofosveset trisodium: abdominal and peripheral vascular applications.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this review is to illustrate various applications of gadofosveset trisodium in evaluating abdominal and peripheral vascular disease. The basic properties, technical considerations, and clinical and potential future applications of gadofosveset are described. CONCLUSION Gadofosveset trisodium facilitates comprehensive high-resolution arterial and venous MR angiography. Because of its prolonged intravascular residence time, gadofosveset trisodium is particularly useful for evaluating venous, dynamic, and functional vascular disease with a single low-dose contrast injection.
Ofatumumab‐based chemoimmunotherapy is effective and well tolerated in patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

Although rituximab‐based chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) has substantially improved clinical outcomes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), only 40% to 50% of patients achieve a complete remission (CR). There remains interest in identifying new approaches to improve the effectiveness of CIT. Ofatumumab is a fully human anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody with greater apparent single‐agent activity than rituximab in CLL patients.
Quadratic optimal control problems for hybrid linear autonomous systems with state jumps

In this paper, results for quadratic optimal control of hybrid linear autonomous systems with state jumps are reported. In particular, we focus on problems in which a pre-specified sequence of active subsystems is given. In a recent paper, we have proposed an approach for optimal control problems of hybrid autonomous systems with state jumps. However, in applying that approach, some computational issues must be addressed for the derivation of some necessary parameters. We, in this paper, by taking advantage of the special structure of linear subsystems and quadratic costs, develop a more efficient method which computes these necessary parameters and hence leads to reduced computational effort. As an application, we apply our quadratic optimal control results to address the important reachability problems. Examples illustrate the results.
Archetypes of infection: people with HIV/AIDS in the Australian press in the mid 1990s

Abstract This article presents the ﬁndings of an interpretive analysis of therepresentation of people with HIV/AIDS in the Australian pressin a three-year period between 1994 and 1996. Three majorarchetypes of people with HIV/AIDS dominating reports – the‘AIDS victim’, the ‘AIDS survivor’ and the ‘AIDS carrier’ – arediscussed for what they reveal not only about contemporaryapproaches to HIV/AIDS but also about more general notionsof morality and self-control related to the body, medicine, healthand illness. It is argued that these dominant archetypesinevitably draw from previous representations of HIV/AIDS,but at the same time demonstrate evidence of changing dis-courses and meanings. One feature of particular interest is thatmoral judgements related to people with HIV/AIDS presented inthese news texts appear to be based less on how they acquiredthe virus than the manner in which they deport themselves onceinfected. Keywords: HIV/AIDS, the press, archetypes, representation, morality,Australia
Katunkumene and Ancient Egypt in Africa

This article, given life to a great extent by the “King Tut” craze of the 1970s, addresses the controversy regarding the “race” of the ancient Egyptians. It does so, however, not by interrogating the concept of race, but by simply inquiring into whether nonarchaeological, nonphysical anthropological evidence exists suggesting origins of the ancestors of present-day Africans in Egypt. A critical contention of the article is that mainstream Egyptology has failed to make the connection between contemporary Black Africa and ancient Egypt because its methods, steeped in positivism, assume that historical artifacts in themselves can furnish answers to questions of provenance without prior assumptions revolving around a particular provenance. At the very least, the methods have unjustifiably excluded from consideration contemporary Black Africa as the home of the descendants of the ancient Egyptians. Consequently, Egyptologists have characterized ancient Egyptian as an Afro-Asiatic language and failed to recognize its substantial Kiswahili-Bantu substrate, a failure that has resulted in many improperly transcribed hieroglyphs. Convinced that ancient Egyptian was substantially a Bantu language, I have been able not only to trace some names of its kings back to the ancient Nile Valley but also to link two words in Egyptian religious practice to traditional African religious practice. These measures, added to the alternative names for Egypt unearthed by my analysis of the existing terms in the literature suggest strongly ancient Egyptian ancestry of many people in southern Africa a provenance in ancient Egypt of a substantial number of Zambians.
Vitamin D deficiency in Korean children: prevalence, risk factors, and the relationship with parathyroid hormone levels

Purpose This study was performed to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels as well as to describe the prevalence and the risk factors of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in Korean children. Methods Participants were 1,212 children aged 4 to 15 years, who visited Bundang CHA Medical Center (located at 37°N) between March 2012 and February 2013. Overweight was defined as body mass index≥85th percentile. Participants were divided into 4 age groups and 2 seasonal groups. VDD was defined by serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) <20 ng/mL. Results The level of 25OHD was significantly lower in overweight group than in normal weight group (17.1±5.1 ng/mL vs. 19.1±6.1 ng/mL, P<0.001). Winter-spring season (odds ratio [OR], 4.46; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.45-5.77), older age group (OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.36-1.88), and overweight (OR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.62-3.01) were independently related with VDD. The PTH levels were significantly higher in VDD group compared to vitamin D insufficiency and sufficiency group (P<0.001). In normal weight children, 25OHD (β=-0.007, P<0.001) and ionized calcium (β=-0.594, P=0.007) were independently related with PTH, however, these associations were not significant in overweight children. Conclusion VDD is very common in Korean children and its prevalence increases in winter-spring season, in overweight children and in older age groups. Further investigation on the vitamin D and PTH metabolism according to adiposity is required.
How third-party certification programs relate to consumer trust in online transactions: An exploratory study

Consumer fears about Internet security and ordering over the Internet can influence online buying behavior, and these fears may be exacerbated by increasing attention to identity theft. A key strategy to increase consumer trust in ordering has been participation in third-party certification programs. This study presents a model describing the relationship between third-party identifying logos, trust transfer, and trust buildup and tests the model with data collected by an online survey. The results support hypotheses that perceptions of third-party logos are related to intensity of seal exposure, importance of trust factors in online shopping, and disposition toward third-party certification. Also, such perceptions and the current level of consumer trust in general in online shopping are positively related to transfer of trust from certification to online e-marketers. Prior research found that validating logos does not increase transfer of trust; a post-hoc analysis revealed that this finding is dependent on type of logo. The findings indicate that Web site certification can reassure potential customers and increase the probability of purchase. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
SPITZER DETECTION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND SILICATE FEATURES IN POST-AGB STARS AND YOUNG PLANETARY NEBULAE

We have observed a small sample of hot post-asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) and the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The stars were selected from the literature on the basis of their far-infrared (IR) excess (i.e., post-AGB candidates) and B spectral type (i.e., close to the ionization of the envelope). The combination of our IRAC observations with Two Micron All Sky Survey and IRAS catalog data, along with previous radio observations in the cm range (where available) allowed us to model the spectral energy distributions of our targets and find that in almost all of them at least two shells of dust at different temperatures must be present, the hot dust component ranging up to 103 K. In several targets, grains larger than 1 μm are needed to match the far-IR data points. In particular, in IRAS 17423-1755 grains up to 100 μm must be introduced to match the emission in the millimeter range. We obtained IRS spectra to identify the chemistry of the envelopes and found that more than one-third of the sources in our sample have mixed chemistry, showing both mid-IR bands attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and silicate features. The analysis of the PAH features indicates that these molecules are located in the outflows, far away from the central stars. We consider the larger than expected percentage of mixed-chemistry targets as a selection bias toward stars with a disk or torus around them. Our results strengthen the current picture of mixed chemistry being due to the spatial segregation of different dust populations in the envelopes.
Fluctuating Asymmetry and Environmental Stress: Understanding the Role of Trait History

While fluctuating asymmetry (FA; small, random deviations from perfect symmetry in bilaterally symmetrical traits) is widely regarded as a proxy for environmental and genetic stress effects, empirical associations between FA and stress are often weak or heterogeneous among traits. A conceptually important source of heterogeneity in relationships with FA is variation in the selection history of the trait(s) under study, i.e. traits that experienced a (recent) history of directional change are predicted to be developmentally less stable, potentially through the loss of canalizing modifiers. Here we applied X-ray photography on museum specimens and live captures to test to what extent the magnitude of FA and FA-stress relationships covary with directional shifts in traits related to the flight apparatus of four East-African rainforest birds that underwent recent shifts in habitat quality and landscape connectivity. Both the magnitude and direction of phenotypic change varied among species, with some traits increasing in size while others decreased or maintained their original size. In three of the four species, traits that underwent larger directional changes were less strongly buffered against random perturbations during their development, and traits that increased in size over time developed more asymmetrically than those that decreased. As we believe that spurious relationships due to biased comparisons of historic (museum specimens) and current (field captures) samples can be ruled out, these results support the largely untested hypothesis that directional shifts may increase the sensitivity of developing traits to random perturbations of environmental or genetic origin.
Defense Transformation and Legitimacy in Scandinavia after the Cold War

This article analyzes how defense transformation in Scandinavia has been legitimized and which legitimacy it enjoys. The overall result is that it does not have unambiguous support. There are, however, similarities and differences, both between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members Denmark and Norway and nonaligned Sweden, and between the NATO members. Theoretically, the alliance members should be more willing to transform—even if it implies a “denationalization” of defense. In Denmark, that is, with some reservation, the case but not in Norway. Nonaligned Sweden should, according to the same logic, be resistant to downsizing the armed forces and gearing them for NATO expeditionary war fighting operations. However, that is not the case. A consequence of the negative attitude toward the transformation is less influence, resources, freedom of action, and so on, for the defense forces in general, and an even more lukewarm attitude toward conducting combat operations in a NATO context in particular.
Increased number and activation of colonic macrophages in pediatric patients with untreated Crohn's disease

Background: Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be phenotypically different from adult IBD. In IBD lesions, macrophages are overactivated, suggesting involvement of innate immunity in the pathogenesis. Here, mucosal macrophages were studied in selected untreated pediatric patients compared with adults from a population‐based Norwegian cohort of IBD patients. Age‐matched non‐IBD controls were also included. Methods: Untreated children (<18 years) and adults (≥18 years) were included at diagnosis with colonic and ileal biopsies. Controls were symptomatic non‐IBD patients with histologically normal gut. Frozen mucosal sections were examined by immunohistochemistry for cellular expression of the pan‐macrophage marker CD68 and the costimulatory molecule CD40. Two‐color immunofluorescence staining in situ was performed to identify CD40+ macrophages. Results: Non‐IBD adults had significantly higher mucosal density of colonic CD68+ macrophages than non‐IBD children. In pediatric Crohn's disease (CD), macrophages were significantly increased in the colon (but not in the ileum) compared with controls. Their mucosal density in pediatric CD was significantly higher than in pediatric ulcerative colitis. The number of CD40+ (activated) macrophages was significantly elevated in both histologically inflamed and uninflamed colon and ileum of IBD children. Conclusions: Histologically normal colon mucosa contains fewer macrophages in children than in adults. However, in colon of children with untreated CD the mucosal macrophage density is increased. Activated mucosal macrophages are increased in untreated pediatric IBD regardless of inflammatory grade. Such upregulated innate mucosal immune activation may contribute to the colonic phenotype of childhood CD. (Inflamm Bowel Dis 2009)
Individual vs. Social Predictors of Information Seeking

,A person’s use of mass communications does not occur in isolation from the rest of his social life. Rather, his communicatory activities of all sorts, mass and interpersonal, are interwoven in an outgoing system of reciprocal influences. One might even say that one principal “effect” of communication is further communication. Some conceptual models, such as Schramm’s encoder-interpreter-decoder system, Westley and MacLean’s A-BC-X scheme and Carter’s paradigm of dective relations, clearly place mass
Sonchus Yellow Net Rhabdovirus Nuclear Viroplasms Contain Polymerase-Associated Proteins

ABSTRACT We have initiated a study of the cytopathology of nucleorhabdoviruses by analyzing the subcellular localization of sonchus yellow net virus (SYNV) genomic and antigenomic RNAs and the encoded polymerase proteins. In situ hybridizations demonstrated that the minus-strand genomic RNA sequences are restricted to the nuclei of infected cells, while the complementary plus-strand antigenomic RNA sequences are present in both the nuclei and the cytoplasm. Immunofluorescence and immunogold labeling experiments also revealed that the nucleocapsid (N) protein and phosphoprotein (M2) are primarily localized to discrete regions within the nuclei and in virus particles that accumulate in perinuclear spaces. The N protein antiserum specifically labeled the nuclear viroplasms, whereas the M2 antiserum was more generally distributed throughout the nuclei. Antibody detection also indicated that the polymerase (L) protein is present in small amounts in the viroplasm. When the N and M2 proteins were expressed individually from the heterologous potato virus X (PVX) vector, both proteins preferentially accumulated in the nuclei. In addition, viroplasm-like inclusions formed in the nuclei of cells infected with the PVX vector containing the N gene. Fusions of the carboxy terminus of β-glucuronidase to N and M2 resulted in staining of the nuclei of infected cells following expression from the PVX vector. Deletion analyses suggested that multiple regions of the N protein contain signals that are important for nuclear localization.
AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN CHILDREN WITH PHYSICAL OR MENTAL DISABILITY OR BOTH. I: CLINICAL AND EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS

The prevalence of autism spectrum disorders was studied in all children with mental retardation and/or motor disability in a defined geographical region over a two‐year follow‐up period. In the general population, the prevalence of autistic disorder was 0.09% at the end of the follow‐up period ‐ a minimum estimate, as children with average intelligence were not screened. Autism spectrum disorders were found in 19.8% of children with mental retardation, including strictly defined autistic disorder (DSM‐III‐R criteria) in 8.9%; the two‐year follow‐up yielded a higher prevalence of 11.7% with autistic disorder. Among children with cerebral palsy, 10.5% had an autism spectrum disorder. Clear co‐variation was found between mental retardation, epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders in this population of children with neurodevclopmental disorders.

NON-INVASIVE MONITORING OF DNAPL MIGRATION THROUGH A SATURATED POROUS MEDIUM USING ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY

Electrical impedance tomography was used to monitor the movement of a fluorinated hydrocarbon DNAPL through a saturated porous medium within a laboratory column. Impedance measurements were made using a horizontal plane of twelve electrodes positioned at regular intervals around the centre of the column. A 2D inversion algorithm, which incorporated the cylindrical geometry of the column, was used to reconstruct resistivity and phase images from the measured data. Differential time-lapse images of DNAPL movement past the plane of electrodes were generated by the cell-bycell subtraction of resistivity and phase baseline models from those associated with the DNAPL release stage of the experiment.
Teaching "Life Success" to Students with LD

Children with learning disabilities (LD) grow up, and although some find the road to successful, satisfying, and rewarding lives, others continue to struggle and "fail" into and through adulthood. Research has indicated that successful individuals with LD possess a set of "success attributes" (personal characteristics, behaviors, attitudes, and conditions) that lead them to positive life outcomes. This article presents a conceptual framework for fostering success attributes in students with LD and provides suggestions for classroom activities.
Sub-1-V CMOS Image Sensor Using Time-Based Readout Circuit

This paper proposes a sub-1-V CMOS image sensor using a time-based readout (TBR) circuit. The proposed TBR circuit senses the moment of event from the pixel instead of reading the voltage signal. This allows the use of low power-supply voltage in pixel, providing sufficient dynamic range. The prototype chip was fabricated with a 0.13- ¿m standard CMOS logic process, and whole circuits were designed with thin-oxide gate transistors only. The measurement results show a 54.2-dB dynamic range with 0.75-V power-supply voltage.
Complement activation and endotoxin levels in systemic meningococcal disease.

The activation state of the complement system in 39 consecutively admitted patients with systemic meningococcal disease was studied prospectively using two monoclonal antibodies reacting with neoepitopes exposed during complement activation. The fluid-phase C3 activation products and SC5b-9 (terminal complement complex) were strongly correlated to the levels of endotoxin (lipooligosaccharides, LOS) in plasma on admission (r = .79, P less than .0001 and r = .76, P less than .0001, respectively) and to fatality. Maximum complement activation in survivors occurred 7h (median; range 0-44 h) after initiation of antibiotic treatment. The most severely ill patients had the capacity to activate the whole complement cascade. In nonsurvivors, high-grade activation often continued until the patients died. The results suggest that LOS are important activators of complement in systemic meningococcal disease and that complement-activating products, in concert with other mediators, may contribute to the multiple organ failure and death occurring in the most severe cases.
Comparison of cleaning Efficacy and Instrumentation Time between Rotary and Manual Instrumentation Techniques in Primary Teeth: An in vitro Study

ABSTRACT Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the cleaning efficacy and instrumentation time between manual Hedstrom files (H-files) and rotary Mtwo files in primary molar root canals. Materials and methods: A total of 90 primary root canals were selected using standardized radiographs. The canals were injected with India ink with 30 gauge insulin syringe and divided into three groups. Group I―30 root canals instrumented with H-files, group II―30 root canals instrumented with Mtwo files, and group III―control group in which no canal instrumentation was done. The teeth were cleared in various solutions and then observed under a stereomicroscope. Results: No significant difference was seen in cleaning efficacy between H-files and Mtwo files in coronal, middle, and apical thirds of the root canal. The instrumentation time recorded for H-files (3.41 ± 0.38 minutes) was significantly less than that of Mtwo files (4.81 ± 0.52). Conclusion: Although there was no significant difference in cleaning capacity, further studies should be carried out using the single file systems.
