Original Article: Hemoglobin Study in Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian Obese Females of Udaipur City

Introduction: obesity is a major contributor to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the developed world and yet has only recently been afforded the same level of attention as other risk factors of coronary artery disease. Hemoglobin level and pattern of food intake is closely associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases. The cardiovascular diseases are primarily may be due to altered lipid profile which is depend on type and pattern of food intake. Association of vegetarian and non-vegetarianisms in obese female is controversial. Method: The study was conducted on vegetarianism and non-vegetarianism obese female. A total of 55 subjects were enrolled (35 cases and 20 control) for the study. The Anthropometric measurements viz. height, weight, BMI and WHR, BP, were taken and hemoglobin level (Hg %) was assessed in vegetarian and non-vegetarianism obese women. Results: Our results showed that hemoglobin level (HB %) in non-vegetarianism obese women was (13.25±1.08) high than vegetarian (10±1.2) obese women. The blood pressure systolic and diastolic was higher in the non-vegetarian obese women than vegetarians’ obese female. There were no significant difference was found in heart rate in both groups i.e. vegetarianism and non-vegetarianism obese female. The Blood pressure systolic and diastolic was (126.63± 7.3 and 88.26±6.33) and (130.72± 8 and 85.52±4.81) in Vegetarian Non-vegetarian respectively. Discussion: Thus Hemoglobin Level (Hg %) of non-vegetarianism were high in obese women than vegetarian. Due to Some nutrients intake, hemoglobin level was better in non-vegetarians than vegetarians.

EDAPHIC FACTORS WITH HERBAL PLANTS ABUNDANCE AND DENSITY IN A RECREATIONAL FOREST

Terengganu is one of the states in East Coast Peninsula Malaysia that provides the natural habitat for the herbal plants and non-tree plants. The question of the relationship between herbal and non-tree plants, their abundance and relationship with edaphic factor is still unsolved. This study was conducted at Chemerong Recreational Forest, Dungun, Terengganu to determine the abundance and diversity of herbal and non-tree plants species, and its relationship with the physico-chemical soil properties. Two types of forest were chosen which are riparian forest and inland forest. Two plots with the sizes of 5m x 10 m were built in each forest types and which means the total of area sampling in this study was 200m2. Result shows that a total of 885 individuals of herbal and non-tree plants were recorded from 68 species, 40 genera and 22 families. Riparian forest plot recorded 558 individuals from 55 species, 37 genera and 21 families while inland plot recorded 327 individuals from 36 species, 27 genera and 15 families. Significant difference was observed in soil physico-chemical properties, phosporus (P), electric conductivity (EC), nitrate (NO3), ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), moisture content and organic matter (OM) between these two forest types. Based on Cannonical Correspondance Analysis (CCA) there was a strong relationship between species abundance and edaphic factors in the study site. Results from this study could contribute to new information on conserving and preserving the herbal and non-tree plants as the natural green asset of Terengganu and Malaysia.
Pricing and Promotional Decisions of a Drug Manufacturer with the Presence of a Price-Volume Agreement

Physicians prescribe not only based on the health outcome and costs of a drug, but also based on their personal experience and preference for certain drugs. Thus, drug manufacturers invest a significant amount of promotional efforts to influence physicians, efforts including detailing, invited conferences, and sponsored research, etc. Since a third-party payer must pay for all claims for a drug that is covered by an insurance plan, the expense for the drug may be very high and uncertain. To control increasing drug costs and sales uncertainty, price-volume agreements have been proposed as a way to reduce the risk of higher-than-expected drug expenses. In such agreements, a drug manufacturer has to return a portion to the payer of sales exceeding a pre-specified volume threshold. In this paper, we investigated the drug pricing and promotional decisions of a drug manufacturer in the presence of a price-volume agreement under three different pricing scenarios. We found it not necessarily true that a high drug price or a high quality drug (with a high health benefit) reduces the manufactureri¯s motivation to promote. We also found that the existence of a price-volume agreement may not increase the drug price, but it does help control the promotional effort. Although a negotiated price may be lower than the price set by the manufacturer, a negotiation may not always be preferred because the manufactureri¯s profit is reduced by the negotiation and thus an agreement may not be reached under certain circumstances.
The quantum stability problem for time-periodic perturbations of the harmonic oscillator

In this paper we study the quantum stability problem for a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator perturbed by time-periodic operators. The perturbations we consider need not have exponentially decaying matrix elements in the basis of the unperturbed quasi-energy states. We can prove a perturbative stability result of the following form : given any e>0 and any perturbation P with ∥P∥≤Ce 2 for suitable norm ∥. ∥ and constant C, there exists a Borel set I of «resonant values» of the frequency Ω, whose Lebesque measure |I| is smaller than e, such that for any Ω¬∈I, the pure-point nature of the spectrum of the quasi-energy operator is preserved under the perturbation P On etudie la stabilite quantique pour l'oscillateur harmonique a une dimension perturbe par des operateurs periodiques en temps. Dans la base des etats propres de l'operateur de quasi-energie non perturbe, les elements de matrice des perturbations que l'on considere ne sont pas necessairement a decroissance exponentielle. On montre un resultat perturbatif de stabilite de la forme suivante: pour tout e>0 et toute perturbation P satisfaisant ∥p∥Ce 2 pour une norme ∥. ∥ et une constante C convenables, il existe un borelien I de «valeurs resonnantes» de la frequence Ω dont la mesure de Lebesque∥I∥ est inferieure a e, tel que pout tout Ω∈I, la nature purement ponctuelle du spectre de l'operateur de quasi-energie est conservee par la perturbation P
Redefining Androgen Receptor Function: Clinical Implications in Understanding Prostate Cancer Progression and Therapeutic Resistance

The current description of the function of the human androgen receptor (AR), as a transcription factor directing androgen responsive gene expression, is limited in scope and thus is unable to account for the varied cellular and physiological transformation observed in the development and progression of prostate cancer (CaP). The chapter will focus on four important aspects of AR and CaP investigations: (1) a description of AR somatic mutations and the perils of AR-directed therapeutics; (2) our characterization of AR protein interactors that have imbued new functional properties for AR linked to prostatic disease; (3) review of the advances made and shortcomings of AR mouse models in describing CaP onset and progression; and (4) speculate as to the mechanisms by which new mutations can originate and initiate disease onset.
Point vortex motion on the surface of a sphere with impenetrable boundaries

A conformal mapping approach to the problem of the motion of a single point vortex in a simply connected region bounded by impenetrable walls on the surface of a sphere is presented. Several illustrative examples are given, including those considered by previous authors using arguments based on the method of images. A new example of the motion of a vortex around a straight barrier along a great circle on the spherical surface is studied in detail. Finally, a theoretical connection with a boundary value problem for a generalized Liouville-type quasilinear partial differential equation is also made.
The Bilateral Minimal Time Function

In this paper, we study the minimal time function as a function of two variables (the initial and the terminal points). This function, called the ’bilateral minimal time function‘, plays a central role in the study of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of minimal control in a domain which contains the target set, as shown in [11]. We study the regularity of the function, and characterize it as the unique (viscosity) solution of partial Hamilton-Jacobi equations with certain boundary conditions.

Neuroinflammation and Neurotransmission Mechanisms Involved in Neuropsychiatric Disorders

Some classical psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, autism, major depression, bipolar and obsessive‐compulsive disorders, have been related to neuroinflammatory pro ‐ cess, immunological abnormalities, and neurotransmission impairment beyond genetic mutations. Neuroinflammation is mostly regulated by glial cells, which respond to physi ‐ ological and pathological stimuli by anti‐ and pro‐inflammatory cytokine and chemokine signaling; moreover, recent studies have indicated that glial cells also respond to the neu‐ rotransmitters. Neurotransmitters regulate many biological processes, such as cell pro ‐ liferation and synaptogenesis, which contribute to the formation of functional circuits. Alterations in the neurotransmission can lead to many pathological changes that occur in brain disorders. For example, studies have shown that neuroinflammation can alter the metabolism of glutamate as well as the function of its transporters, resulting in cognitive, behavioral, and psychiatric impairments. Cytokines as IL‐1β and IL‐6 appear to have an important influence in the dopaminergic and serotoninergic neurons. These data together suggest that glial cells via cytokines and abnormal regulation of neurotransmitters can influence psychiatric disorders. The present knowledge about this issue does not allow answering whether neuroinflammation is the cause or the consequence of neurotransmis ‐ sion imbalance and emphasizes the importance to improve in vivo imaging methods and models to elucidate this enigma. the inflammatory imbalance. High levels of cytokines also modulate the amount of neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft. The levels of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA), and serotonin (5‐HT) are downregulated that conducts to the mood changes [ 85 ]. TLR4 and TLR2 pathways are also changed in BD [70 , 71 ], for instance, the MyD88 is increased [59 ]. The presence of auto‐antibodies is also an important feature in BD and MDD, especially anti‐NMDA antibody that impairs glutamatergic pathway and could lead to cognitive impairment [ 51 ].
Factors Affecting Customer Citizenship Behavior: A Model of University Students

The purpose of this research is to measure the dimensions of student citizenship behavior and the extent of student satisfaction, loyalty, commitment, and trust as integrated factors are antecedents of student citizenship behavior in universities. A sample of 400 students in two private universities in Egypt was selected randomly and a structured questionnaire was used to collect the research data. The student citizenship behavior was found to contain two types of voluntary behavior; voluntary cooperative behavior and voluntary participation behavior. Also, despite the strong and significant interrelationships between the four antecedents of student citizenship behavior, student satisfaction and loyalty can be considered the strongest antecedents of all dimensions of student citizenship behavior in universities. The main implication of this research is that universities should consider students as valuable resources in both their formal roles and voluntary behavior that support the educational environment of a university. The research suggests satisfied and loyal students provide advantages to their universities not only through spreading positive word of mouth about their universities, attending further education in the future and supporting their universities in the community but also through their positive voluntary behavior.
Increasing sales by introducing non‐salable items

Rationality implies that adding 'irrelevant' and, in particular, inferior alternatives to the opportunity set cannot increase the choice probability of some other alternative. In this study, we propose a novel approach that can rationalize an intended addition of such alternatives because it strictly increases the choice probability of some existing alternative. The driving force behind the existence and extent of such an increase is the random nature of individual preferences, that implies intransitivity, and the random nature of the applied choice procedures. We study the case of a firm interested in increasing the sales of some of its existing products by introducing a new and inferior (non-salable) product. Our main results focus on the feasibility and potential advantage of a successful such strategy. We first establish necessary and sufficient conditions for an increase in the sale probability and then derive the maximal possible absolute and relative increase in this probability, when the firm has extremely limited information on the characteristics of the consumers. We then derive analogous results, assuming that the existing line of products consists of just two items and that the firm has accurate information on the consumers' stochastic preferences over the existing products. These later results are illustrated using some experimental evidence. The applicability of the approach is finally briefly discussed in the context of branding policy.

Serpentine Mineral Replacements of Natural Olivine and their Seismic Implications: Oceanic Lizardite versus Subduction-Related Antigorite

We report on microstructural data obtained by optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy concerning the crystallographic relationships of serpentine minerals with their host olivine in two contrasting situations. In the first case, mesh-textured lizardite (liz) is developed in a standard 60% serpentinized oceanic harzburgite from the Oman ophiolite where olivine converts to columnar lizardite. The joined columns are perpendicular to the basal plane (001)(liz), corresponding to the pseudofibres observed optically. The plane (001)(liz) is locally parallel to the narrow boundary ol-liz; thus column orientations register the interface of serpentinization. The ol-liz relationships are not strictly topotactic, but reflect preferred cracking orientations in olivine, parallel to (010)(ol). In the second case, antigorite (atg) develops in a rare sample of antigorite schist in a kimberlite from Moses Rock (Colorado Plateau), representative of a suprasubduction-zone mantle wedge. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images along [010](atg) show domains of very regular modulation with a 43 center dot 5 A wavelength (m = 17, where m is the number of silicate tetrahedra along the wave), with few defects, indicative of HP-HT antigorite, and also heavily kinked regions as fingerprints of strong tectonic shear. TEM imaging and electron diffraction patterns reveal two topotactic relationships between antigorite and olivine: [100](atg)//[010](ol) and (atg)// (ol); the planes in contact are (001)(atg)//(100)(ol) and (001)(atg)//(010)(ol), respectively. The [010](atg)//[001](ol) and antigorite lamellae are parallel to the forsterite b-axis. In both cases, the topography of olivine-serpentine interfaces is controlled by open fluid pathways along microcracks oriented according to the anisotropy of the olivine aggregate. In the cases studied, the serpentine aggregate exhibits a preferred orientation inherited from that of the peridotite. These results have some relevance to the seismic anisotropy of serpentinized mantle. Anisotropy of propagation of seismic waves as a result of the olivine fabric is maintained and reinforced with the development of lizardite. Conversely, the development of antigorite produces a trench-parallel fast S-wave polarization and an anisotropy that is lowered at low degrees of serpentinization and then increased with increasing serpentinization.
A Study to Measure the Health Awareness of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Saudi Arabia

BACKGROUND STUDY: There are various health disorders among women which might lead to various healthcare complications. In such cases, lack of awareness is one of the primary reasons for prolonged identification or poor disease self-management. Additionally, the freeness or comfort in discussing or gaining information can be a major limitation in managing such diseases. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one such disorder among the women which can occur at reproductive age, and may cause infertility. The occurrence of disease at such a young age could lead to stress among the patients, and it also has major complications which can affect the health and lifestyles of the people diagnosed with PCOS. Therefore, it is very essential to increase the awareness about the disease and its self-management practices among the women. STUDY AIM: The purpose of this study is to identify the level of awareness about PCOS among the Saudi women. STUDY DESIGN: An online survey questionnaire is used for collecting the knowledge levels of Saudi women with PCOS, in the aspects of physiology of female reproductive systems, knowledge of pathophysiology of PCOS, complications associated with PCOS, and self-management techniques. RESULTS: A minimal awareness about signs, symptoms, complications and self-management approaches of PCOS was observed in more than 60% of the motivated sample population. CONCLUSION: It is observed and suggested that the perception of long-term metabolic effects of PCOS on the health of affected individual needs to be optimized. Effective methods for increasing awareness using internet and communication technologies should be developed and promoted among the women.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DECISION ON CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM LITHUANIAN FOOD AND BEVERAGES INDUSTRY COMPANIES

Capital structure is the problem regularly approached in theoretical and empirical studies; however it does not give any consensus whether the growing use of loan capital leads to increase or decrease in the efficiency of company’s performance. Many of the empirical researches evidenced that the capital structure has a significant negative impact on the efficiency of corporate performance; some studies showed a positive relationship. The results of our research confirmed the results of first studies: all the selected ratios of capital structure negatively correlated with the efficiency of the company's performance. Since it was established a significant relationship, we conclude that the performance efficiency is related to debt level to a large extent. Moreover, the capital raised in this way did not condition more effective performance and is not associated with the implementation of fast-track, profitable projects, that would allow these companies to ensure the growth of performance efficiency.

The Common Challenges of Brand Equity Creation among Local Fast Food Brands in Malaysia

This study reflects on the need to examine the challenges of brand equity creation among Malaysian fast food brands. There was a need to observe brand awareness which contributes greater variance on brand trust, attitudinal brand loyalty, and overall brand equity than perceived quality across global and Malaysian brands. The main purpose of this study was to provide a better management practices for branding strategy and brand tracking; highlighting the natural drawbacks on focusing the perception of brand quality that have been exercised by many Malaysian fast food brands. The result of this study reveals that the dimensions of consumer-based brands equity could be reasonably related to category specific.
Nonresident Employment Associated with Marcellus Shale Development

There is much debate about the employment effect of shale gas development, especially as it relates to extraction counties. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many of the jobs created are illed by nonresidents. We examine the impact shale gas development has on local employment in Pennsylvania using a data set that links workers to their personal residences. We ind that activity in the Marcellus shale has had a modest positive impact on job growth. The impact is cut in half, however, when we use data for county residents only. Thus, traditional employment data may overestimate employment impacts from shale development.
Social Health Insurance for the Poor Programs of the Philippines and Vietnam

This paper compares the design features and implementation of the social health insurance (SHI) for the poor programs of the Philippines and Vietnam. The National Health Insurance Program-Sponsored Program of the Philippines and the Health Care Fund for the Poor Program of Vietnam both intend to improve the health status and, ultimately, the economic condition of the poor population. Following the framework of Carrin and James (2004), these programs are evaluated in terms of revenue collection, risk pooling, and purchasing for the period 1996-2005. As the experiences of these countries show, the traditional approaches to provider payments and quality control have only weak incentive effects on performance under a decentralized health setting. It is argued that more attention should be given to such institutional context in the design of SHI programs.
