Best practices in the lactating and weaned sow to optimize reproductive physiology and performance

For optimal reproductive performance of the weaned sow, management needs to be optimised in the lactation period, in the interval from weaning to oestrus and during oestrus and insemination. Essentially, management should be focussed on optimizing follicle development during lactation and after weaning and on maximizing fertilisation of the oocytes from those follicles during the first oestrus after weaning. During lactation, follicle development is mostly affected by lactational weight loss and by suckling. Management should therefore be aimed at stimulating feed intake and, possibly, reducing the number of sucklings at the end of lactation. During the short weaning-tooestrus interval, nutrition of the sow and boar contact are most important. For optimal fertilisation, a good oestrus detection and insemination strategy are essential.

The Challenges to Advanced Diabetic Care Practice in the UAE Community Settings

over the past few decades remarkable growth of pharmacy practice and the managed care system have been noticed. The concept of The Pharmaceutical Care Practice evolved to help maximize the contributions of pharmacists in improving Diabetic patients’ outcomes and decrease health care costs. Despite of the fact that pharmaceutical literatures will continue to provide evidence references to identify the unique contribution that pharmacists can make to Diabetic Management and health improvement, many pharmacists are not routinely engaging in Pharmaceutical Care activities because of the variety of obstacles. Hence, pharmacists’ perception about the new emerging philosophy of the Advance Diabetic Care Practice and its challenges are at vital concern. Thus, this study considered as the first of its kind to be held in the UAE aims to assess the extent of obstacles to the application of pharmaceutical care to diabetic patients and to provide an inclusive picture of the practicality to develop such practice. Methods: Descriptive qualitative survey was carried out on randomly selected pharmacies from all over the UAE seven emirates. The respondents asked to indicate the degree of the agreement to (37) challenges to the pharmaceutical care application to diabetic patients. Results showed that lack of counseling guidelines for effective patient counseling, lack of education in communication skill, inadequate private counseling area and lack of teamwork concept were represented main challenging barriers. There were significant differences in practice setting characteristics in the estimate of the barriers. In conclusion: this study is only one step to move on professional practice from actual mission into Active Diabetic Care Process.
Queuing Modeling for Comparative Study of Banking System on Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Tona Branch and Dashen Bank: the Case of Wolaita Zone, Ethiopia

In order to deliver service in quality specially in banking system the queuing model was appropriate in order to suggest waiting time, service rate and etc for efficient service delivery of better implementation of banking system. Comparative study of two selected banks (Commercial Bank of Ethiopia & Dashen Bank) in Wolaita zone of Ethiopia was investigated. The queuing model was employed for both banking system in order to measure the behavioral queuing characteristics of customers in terms of their arrival and service rate respectively. The data for the arrival and service rate of the two banks were collected by observation methods for two days of a week simultaneously. The result revealed that on average 10.2 and 8.6 customers arrive and served per hours, respectively in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Tona branch. The average waiting time in queue and in system was 0.0001 minutes and 0.43 minutes, respectively in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Tona branch. When comparing to Dashen Bank, on average 7.125 and 6.125 customers per hour arrive and served, respectively. Regarding the average waiting time in queue and in system was 0.216 minutes and 0.828 minutes, respectively in Dashen Bank. Findings indicated that Dashen Bank has a more waiting service time value which may have a negative significant effect on customers on waiting line compared to Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Tona branch; we realize Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Tona branch has an advantageous effect of service time value which will have a positive significant effect on customers in experiencing little or no queue at all. Also Dashen bank has the highest waiting probability service when compared with Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Tona branch this result may clearly suggests that for optimum efficiency in the banks, there is need to increase the number of servers since increasing servers will reduce the waiting lines of customers. The analysis of this study may suggest reviewing for better efficiency and performance of banking system in general.

Role of "-Adrenoreceptors In The Regulation of Fore-Stomach Motility in the Goat

The investigation of the effects of intravenous (i.v.) infusion of "2-adrenoreceptor agonists and antagonists on reticuloruminal motility was carried out in conscious goats. The i.v. administration of the "1-agonist phenylephrine (4 μg kgG minG for 15 min) or the "2-agonist naphazoline (2.5 μg kgG minG for 15 min) reduced both frequency and amplitude of reticulum and rumen dorsal sac contractions. Pretreatment of animals with the "1-antagonist prazosin (20 μg kgG minG for 30 min) prevented the inhibitory effects of phenylephrine on reticuloruminal motility. The effects of naphazoline were prevented by yohimbine, an "2-antagonist at 20 μg kgG minG for 30 min. Yohimbine, given alone or followed by naphazoline, abolished secondary ruminal dorsal sac contractions. It is concluded that both "12 and "2-adrenoreceptors are involved in the regulation of reticuloruminal motility in the goat. At the dosage of drugs used al and "2-adrenoreceptors appear to play an inhibitory effect on reticuloruminal motility in the goat.

Effect Of Gamma Rays On Seed Germination, Plant Survival And Quantitative Characters On Two Varieties Of Soybean (Glycine Max.(L.) Merrill.) in M1 Generation

A study was undertaken on induced mutagenesis with two varieties of Soybean, BSS-2 and RKS18. The mutagen used was Gamma rays (50,100,150,200 and 400 Gy). A difference was observed between the varieties BSS-2 and RKS-18 in the degree of tolerance to the mutagens. Germination and survival percentage in both the varieties was lower as compared to control. Reduction in germination percentage was associated with increase in dose of mutagen in both varieties BSS-2 and RKS-18. Germination percentage was higher in the variety BSS-2 as compared to RKS-18, while a higher survival percentage of the seedlings was recorded in RKS-18 which showed a higher genetic damage in the variety BSS-2. In variety BSS-2 at 100 Gy dose a higher survival percentage 94.6% was recorded as compared to lower dose 50Gy while in RKS18 the lower dose of 50 Gy (79.4) showed much higher survival percentage in comparison to higher dose of 100 and 150 Gy.
Determinants of Net Interest Margin in Selected Commercial Banks in Ethiopia

The aim of this study was to investigate into the determinants of net interest margin of selected commercial banks in Ethiopia over the period 2010 to 2017 inclusive. To do so, fixed effects panel regression model was employed for 13 selected commercial banks. The study covered bank level, industry level and macro level variables that affect the net interest margin of the selected banks. The findings of the study revealed that assets quality, capital adequacy, bank size, earning ability, liquidity position, management soundness, exchange rate, inflation and market concentration are significant factors for net interest margin of banks under the study. On the other hand, economic growth and political instability are found to be insignificant variables.
EFFECT OF SEQUENTIAL CONCENTRATIONS OF ZINC AND ITS COMBINATION WITH CALCIUM OR GLUTATHIONE ON THE GROWTH, WATER RELATIONS AND ANATOMY OF ROOTS, STEMS AND LEAVES OF PHASEOLUS VULGARIS CV. CONTENDER

Zinc (Zn) is one of the eight essential micronutrients. It is needed by plants in small amounts, but yet crucial to plant development. A solution culture experiment was conducted to study the variation in growth, water relations and anatomy of roots, stems and leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris cv. contender treated with 1, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000and 1200 mMZnSO4. Maximum significant deplete in parameters of growth (Length of root and shoot; fresh and dry weights, relative growth rate; N of leaves and leaf area), stomatal index and rate of transpiration was observed with, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000and 1200 mM ZnSO 4 . These effects were improved by the addition of Ca 2+ than the addition of glutathione at 10 mM. Moreover, there were a significant increase at low concentration (1mM) treatment. Width of root, width of cortex and width of vascular bundles were increase with increasing Zn concentrations either alone or in combination with glutathione >Ca (NO 3 ) 2 . For stem, the N of vascular bundles were decreased with increase in Zn concentration alone and with Ca (NO 3 ) 2 , meanwhile increase with glutathione. Width of cortex and N of its rows were decrease with increase Zn concentrations. For leaves, the thickness of leaf blade, mid rib and vascular bundle were increase with increase the Zn concentrations alone, On other hands, they records a significant decrease in combination of Zn with Ca(NO 3 ) 2 or glutathione . In general, an increase in total uptake of zinc with increasing the concentration of Zn in all treatments. However, Ca (NO3)2 decrease these amounts than glutathione.
Factors Affecting Customers‟ Perception Toward Service Quality of Grab

The emergence of technology integration and advance information enabled Transportation Network Companies (TNC) to provide on demand “ride-hailing" or "ridesharing" services such as Grab and Uber. Thus reducing customers’ dependency of taxi services. One survey conducted by The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) Malaysia in 2015revealed that 80 per cent Malaysian customers prefer TNC than taxi due to many factors such as trustworthiness, convenience, reliability, etc. Since then limited research had been conducted on the factors affecting customers’ perception of service quality of the main TNC in Malaysia Grab. It is important for Grab to identify their competitive advantage to provide quality service. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the factors affecting customers’ perception towards service quality of Grab. The three identified dimensions of customers’ perception are service quality, customer satisfaction and brand image which were analyzed and it was revealed that although stronger customer satisfaction and brand image may lead to favorable customers’ perception, service quality does not necessarily translate into positive customers’ perception. In conclusion, in order to gain competitive advantage, Grab should always maintain its service quality and uphold its brand image in order to capture positive customers’ perception. It is also imperative for Grab to improve its service quality to meet customer satisfaction which will lead to a positive perception, as well as attracting more potential customers.
Assessment of Depression in Patients of Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Attending a Tertiary Care Centre

Introduction: Type-2 diabetes mellitus is a common, chronic metabolic disorder with multiple complications if not well controlled. Depression is a very common psychiatric comorbidity in these patients. Multiple environmental and patient related factors are linked with this co-morbidity. It is important to address depression and related factors in these patients for a better outcome. This study aimed to assess depression and distribution of various socio-demographic and clinical details in patients of type-2 diabetes mellitus. Material and Methods: Using a purposive sampling technique, a total of 118 patients of type-2 diabetes mellitus who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study were enrolled. They were administered Hamilton Depression Rating Scale to assess depression. Overall 66.1% of the patients had co-morbidity of depression. Results: Significantly more number of patients of type-2 diabetes mellitus with co-morbid depression were unmarried (41% vs 15%, χ2=9.029, df=2, p<.05), unemployed/unskilled workers (21.8% vs 5% / 73.1% vs 55%, χ2=24.893, df=2, p<.01), from lower socio-economic status (71.8% vs 52.5%, χ2=4.342, df=1, p<.05), joint family (33.3% vs 7.5%, χ2=9.519, df=1, p<.05) and rural background (82.1% vs 62.5%, χ2=5.453, df=1, p<.05), and had poor control of the level of HbA1c (55.1% vs 2.5%, χ2=41.022, df=2, p<.01) than those without co-morbid depression. There was a significant negative correlation of years in education with HAM-D total score (r=-.471, p<0.01). Conclusion: A co-morbidity of depression is very common in patients of type-2 diabetes mellitus and various sociodemographic and clinical factors are linked to this comorbidity. It is important to address these issues for the sake of overall better outcome in type-2 diabetes mellitus.
Role of ultrasound guided fine needle biopsy, EUS and serum CA19-9 level in diagnosis of Pancreatic Masses

Objective: Pancreatic Cancer is a very aggressive tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Early diagnosis, accurate preoperative staging and better adjuvant treatment remain a challenge. Abdominal ultrasound, abdominal CT, EUS and ERCP are common tools used for imaging of pancreatic cancer. Fine needle aspiration has made significant contribution to the diagnosis of cancer pancreas. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the role of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis of pancreatic masses and in the differentiation of cancer pancreas from benign lesions. In addition to that, the level of serum CA19-9 was measured to assess its accuracy in differentiating cancerous from benign lesions. Methods: This cross section descriptive study included 40 patients with pancreatic lesions. They were subjected to full clinical examination, laboratory tests (including serum level CA19-9), abdominal ultrasound, percutaneous sonar guided FNAC of pancreatic lesions, endosonography and surgical interference (was done to 32 patients). Results: Thirty three patients proved to have pancreatic malignancy while seven patients proved to have pancreatitis. Ultrasonography (US) showed a sensitivity of 70%, specificity of 86% and accuracy of 73% for malignancy detection. Adding CA19-9 to ultrasound raised to sensitivity to 94%, specificity remained 86% and accuracy to 93%. Adding FNAC to US raised the sensitivity to 85%, specificity remained 86% and accuracy to 91%. EUS showed a sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 100% and accuracy of 91%. Adding CA19-19 to EUS showed a sensitivity of 94%, specificity of 100% and accuracy of 91%. Adding FNAC to EUS showed a sensitivity of 97%, specificity of 86% and accuracy of 97%. Conclusion: The combination of EUS, serum CA 19-9 level and Sonar guided fine needle aspiration showed accuracy of 97% in diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. These investigatory tools are cheap and available and thus may be an excellent alternative to EUS guided fine needle aspiration which is expensive and available in only few centers. [Ahmed A.

Effects of L-CarnitineSupplementation on GrowthPerformance and Fatty AcidProportion in Epididymal AdiposeTissue of Rats Fed Dietscontaining Fat from DifferentSources

Effects of L-Carnitine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Fatty Acid Proportion in Epididymal Adipose Tissue of Rats Fed Diets containing Fat from Different Sources Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Lcarnitine supplementation on growth performance and epididymal adipose tissue fatty acid composition in rats fed diets containing different sources of fat. In the first study, rats were assigned to four groups receiving dietary treatments to evaluate the effects of supplementation with L-carnitine 0 ppm or L-carnitine 50 ppm in combination with two types of dietary fat: 100% soybean oil and a mixture of 50% soybean oil and 50% beef tallow. In the second study, the animals walked 2 h/day at a speed of 840 m/h. No significant differences were observed in the growth test results of each study. In experiment 1, the total saturated fatty acid (SFA) proportion was significantly higher in the L-carnitine 0 ppm 50% soybean oil and 50% beef tallow group than in the other groups. Dietary Lcarnitine suppressed the increase in the SFA proportion observed upon beef tallow consumption. In experiment 2, Lcarnitine decreased the SFA proportion and increased the monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) proportion. No interaction between the ingested fat type and L-carnitine supplementation on the proportions of individual fatty acids was observed, but Lcarnitine supplementation increased the C16:1 proportion and decreased the C18:0 proportion as a main effect in experiment 2. In conclusion, the current results suggest that dietary Lcarnitine decreased the SFA proportion in accordance with C18:0 utilization for energy production in walking rats.
Retinitis Pigmentosa: WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO?

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) represents a group of progressive hereditary diseases of the retina that lead to incurable blindness and affect two million people worldwide and principally characterized by progressive rod-dominant photoreceptor degeneration in the initial stage and eventual cone photoreceptor degeneration in later stages. RP has been known to be initiated by photoreceptor apoptosis as a final common pathway at the cellular level, irrespective of gene mutations, and apoptosis can thus be considered as a therapeutic target. The intracellular concentrations of calcium ion are increased in apoptosis. Calcium channel blockers, which alter the intracellular calcium concentration by modifying calcium flux across cell membranes and affect various intracellular signaling processes, have been long and widely used to treat essential hypertension and certain types of cardiac diseases such as angina pectoris. The goal of this review is to discuss the rationale behind the recent suggestions that calcium channel blockers may be useful in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa.
