The Effect of Rewards, Lecturers Responsibility, and Profession Commitment to Lecturer's Discipline

This study aims to determine the effect of rewards, lecturer’s responsibility, and profession commitment to lecturer’s discipline. This study uses a quantitative approach using a survey method. Path analysis is used to analyze the collected data. The populations in this study were all 106 lecturers of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The number of samples taken in this study was 84 people who were randomly selected. The results showed that lecturer discipline was directly influenced by awards, lecturer’s responsibility, and profession commitment. This study also found that profession commitment was influenced by the appreciation and responsibility of the lecturers. This study also found that lecturer’s responsibility is influenced by awards. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that any changes in lecturer’s discipline are influenced by awards, lecturer responsibility, and profession commitment. Therefore, lecturer’s discipline, awards, lecturer’s responsibility, and profession commitment can be taken into consideration in making strategic planning for human resource development.
THE JOURNAL OF TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC AND ACADEMIC PURPOSES

The present study explores the communicative potential of two ESP textbooks. It examines a sample of activities of English for Commerce and English for Medicine textbooks with an instrument of analysis consisting of three parts: (1) a section for the metadata of the activities, (2) a checklist which assesses the presence and distribution of language skills and systems, and (3) a scale devised by Criado (2016) which measures the weight of meaning-focused and form-focused instruction found in activities. To study these elements, a framework describing and illustrating each component was designed. Interrater reliability tests were carried out to ensure the validity of the results. The findings of the study suggest that these textbooks are mainly meaning-focused, although some differences as regards the extent to which each of these elements is promoted can be found. Moreover, several methodological issues are raised in order to improve future research concerning materials analysis.
Nest site selection of the White-winged Fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus edouardi on Barrow Island

This study of nest site selection of the White-winged Fairy-wren Malurus leucopterus edouardi on Barrow Island showed that they favoured vegetation that included Melaleuca cardiophylla shrubs but were observed in a range of vegetation types, some of which where M. cardiophylla was not well represented. Nests were found in M. cardiophylla, Acacia bivenosa, A. coriacea, Hakea lorea, Grevillea pyramidalis, Triodia angusta and T. wiseana. Crushed Triodia sp. leaves and fl owers stalks were important nest-building materials, and shrubs such as A. coriacea and A. bivenosa offered good perches in an otherwise sparse to open vegetated arid environment. White-winged Fairy-wrens were also found to nest along roadways on Barrow Island in areas without M. cardiophylla. While sightings of White-winged Fairy-wrens were predominately among M. cardiophylla, it did not appear to be reliant upon this shrub for its nesting requirements, suggesting, that on Barrow Island this subspecies has generalist nesting requirements.
Determinants of interest rate in emerging markets

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of interest rate in emerging markets, focusing on banking financial institutions in Uganda. Design/methodology/approach – Using the net interest margin model, interest rate was estimated by applying a panel random effects regression method on 24 banks, while controlling for bank-specific factors, industry and macroeconomic indicators. Data were drawn from annual reports provided by Bank of Uganda Depository Corporation survey from 2008 to 2016. Findings – The results indicate that liquidity, equity capital, market power and reserve requirement have a positive effect on interest rate. The study further finds that operational efficiency, lending out ratio, concentration, public sector borrowing and private sector credit have a negative effect on interest rate. However, credit risk does not influence interest rate. Research limitations/implications – Studied banks are grouped in one panel data set; future studies would focus on the differences in banks and establish how these differences affect interest rate. Future study would also focus on how the determinants of interest rate in Uganda are compared with those of other banks in other emerging market countries. Practical implications – Bank managers need to take interest in equity mobilization because it is a reliable and cheaper source of funding bank operations. Banks should emphasize efficient operations to reduce on the cost of doing business. Government should utilize funds borrowed from banks in efficient ways to improve economic growth. The central bank should minimize the use of reserve requirement as a means of controlling money in circulation. Originality/value – This is the first paper that uses annual report data from several banks and periods to investigate the determinants of interest rate in an emerging country.
A Comparison of Mediterranean Refugee Camps: The Situation of Asylum Seekers and Refugees in Greece and Italy

The article examines the situation of asylum seekers and refugees in Italy and Greece with a particular focus on conditions in refugee camps. Whereas Italy can provide relatively acceptable living conditions in camps but fails to address the issue of homeless migrants in provisional camps, the situation in Greece is devastating. The Mediterranean countries are incapable of improving living conditions for migrants, and reasons for fleeing remain high. This paper compares the situation in both countries, and the findings emphasize the structural differences between Greece and Italy in terms of economy, location, policy imp-lications, and the origin of asylum seekers and refugees.
Comparing the most preferred raw feed for Mud Spiny Lobster Panulirus polyphagus growth in pit culture at intertidal area of Akatariya (Mahuva) coast

The data revealed significant (p<0.05) difference among the feed treatments, maximum growth was recorded in molluscan meat (MM) with weight gain of 128.9±6.08g followed by all mixed meat (AMM) 126.4±2.28, white meat (WM) 117.5±2.68 and low growth in red meat (RM) 115.3±4.63g. Significant difference was recorded in survival was higher in MM (90±5.00%) followed by AMM (83.3±5.77%), WM (78.3±2.89%) and low in RM (61.6±2.89%). Lower FCR was recorded in treatment MM (0.80±0.0.07) and AMM (0.85±0.07) followed by RM (0.96±0.0.05) and WM (1.14±0.0.08). The results of SGR was non-significant among all the treatment with highest SGR in MM (4.07±0.16) followed by AMM (4.00±0.16), WM (3.75±0.06) and low in RM (3.66±0.18). Water quality parameters were all conducive throughout the fattening period. Results of the present study revealed that most preferred food matter for fattening lobster is molluscan meat feeding given fast growth, high ADG and low FCR.
Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT): the current thinking, the benefits, and the risks

Menopause is characterized by a variety of symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats), vaginal symptoms, urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, sleep problems, and mood changes. This can also be associated with joint pains and progressive weight gain. The years and decades following menopause are also when the rates of chronic disease start rising among women. Much of these rising rates can be attributed to ageing alone, but there has been some uncertainty whether menopause also contributes to some of these risks.
Clinical Predictors of mortality in Acute Mesenteric Ischemia

Background: Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is an emergency condition, which is accompanied by fatal complications. Clinical signs and symptoms are often unspecific. In addition, there is no single laboratory test to diagnose acute mesenteric ischemia. Early and accurate diagnosis of intestinal ischemia is important to provide rapid and correct treatment and reduce morbidity and mortality rates. Objective: To determine the clinical predictors of outcome in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia at Emergency Hospital, Mansoura University. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study, which was conducted on patients that were admitted to Emergency Hospital, Mansoura University over a year from December 2019 to December 2020. All patients above 18 years old with acute mesenteric ischemia were included while whom less than 18 years old were excluded. Results: this study had 50 patients (21 males and 29 females) with average age of 66 years old. The results showed that majority of the studied cases died, while only 42% (21 cases) of AMI cases survived. Hypercholesterolemia was considered the most frequently reported Co-morbidity followed by HTN, AF and lastly DM and cardiomegaly. There were statistically significant differences as regards co-morbidities (presence of 2 or more co-morbidities). Conclusion: Acute Mesenteric Ischemia is a serious condition with high mortality rate especially in advanced age and in cases associated with comorbidities, presence of 2 or more co-morbidities, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, past surgical history increase the incidence of death.

Static Performances of Timber- and Bamboo-Concrete Composite Beams: A Critical Review of Experimental Results

The use of composite beams made with traditional concrete and bio-based materials (such as timber and bamboo) is a valuable solution to reduce the environmental impact of the building sector. Timber-Concrete Composite (TCC) beams have been used for decades in structural applications such as new buildings, refurbishment of old timber structures, and bridges. Recently, different researchers suggested composite beams based on engineered bamboo, commonly named Bamboo-Concrete Composite (BCC) beams. This study presents a systematic comparison of structural performances and connection behavior of TCC and BCC beams under short-term static load. TCCs beams are compared to BCC ones using similar shear connectors. The most important aspects of the two composite systems are compared: mechanical behavior of connectors and structural behaviors of full-scale composite beams (e.g., failure modes, connection stiffness, connection shear strength, ultimate load-carrying capacity, maximum deflection and composite efficiency). This comprehensive review indicates that BCC beams have similar or even better structural performances compared with TCC.

MISMATCH BETWEEN FAMILIAR LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION AMONG PUPILS: EFFECT ON READING COMPREHENSION IN SELECTED PRIMARY SCHOOLS IN LUSAKA DISTRICT, ZAMBIA

This paper examines the extent of the mismatch between familiar language and language of instruction among pupils and its effect on reading comprehension in selected primary schools in Lusaka district of Zambia. The study sampled 240 Grade 5 pupils from three (3) government primary schools between the ages nine (9) to 13years. Results of the dependent (paired) sample t-tests indicated that there were significant differences in performance between listening comprehension in Cinyanja and Listening comprehension in English results. Equally, a MANOVA test indicated statistically significant differences in pupils’ performance in English language than those based on the home language. The results also suggest that some pupils in primary schools are not benefiting from using Cinyanja as a language of instruction as it contradicts with their home language. Therefore, the study recommended, among other things, the need to simplify the class language of instruction to children’s home and language of play and to train teachers in specific Zambian languages.
Effect of implementing a mobile game on improving dietary information in diabetic patients

Background: Nowadays, digital games are not just entertainment, but beside routine treatments, they are used in patient care, especially in patients with diabetes. Application of digital games in patient’s education can improve self-management of diabetes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a mobile game (Amoo) implementation on enhancing dietary information in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A mobile game (called Amoo), which was developed by researchers of this study, was applied to assess the self-education of patients with diabetes. Sixty patients with type 2 diabetes participated in the study. The participants took part in a pre-intervention test to determine their dietary information. The participants were randomly divided into one of two groups, including the intervention group: played the game for 15 minutes daily for 6 weeks, and the control group: did not involve in the game. A post-intervention test was run to show a possible improvement in dietary information. Data were analyzed using paired t test and suitable non-parametric testes including Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon signed rank tests as well as Spearman and Pearson correlation coefficients via IBM SPSS statistics version 21 (SPSS, v 21.0, IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). A P-value less than 0.05 was considered as a significant level. Results: The results indicated a statistically significant difference between the pre and post test scores in the intervention group (p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in fasting blood sugar (p=0.125). Conclusion: The mobile game (Amoo) could enhance the knowledge of patients with type 2 diabetes about food calories and glycemic index. This means that mobile games may serve as an educational aid to these patients.
INSECTICIDES AND IONIC REGULATION IN TELEOSTS: A REVIEW

The present review is aimed at giving a comprehensive account of the alterations induced by both synthetic and natural insecticides in the ionic concentration of teleosts. Acute and chronic exposure of fish to organochlorine, organophosphate, carbamate and synthetic pyrethroid insecticides evoked either increase or decrease in the concen- tration of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium cations, as well as chloride and inorganic phosphate anions. Possible mechanisms involved in the alteration in the concen- trations of these ions are discussed.
Research Article: Evaluating limnological condition of Anzali international wetland during 32 years period using nutrient parameters and TSI indices

Determining trophic condition of a wetland is an important step in scientific assessment of the aquatic ecosystem. High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, is mainly the result of human activities in agriculture, industry, etc. Increasing levels of nutrients result in eutrophication of water ecosystems. Regarding the importance of Anzali international‌ wetland, the present study conducted several models of Carlsons on trophic status of the wetland through 1985, 2007, 2014 and 2017. The evaluated stations include, Bandar Anzali under bridge, Sorkhankal, PirBazar, Siadarvishan, Nokhaleh, east of wetlands, Hendkhaleh, and west of wetland. The results of Analysis of Variance indicated significant difference (p <0.05) among values of the indicators listed in stations and different seasons. Assessment of trophy index (TSI) on total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) in order to reveal wetland condition determined oligotrophic and mesotrophic conditions in 1985 to acute hypertrophy in recent years. The results showed increase in the amounts of phosphorus and nitrogen during 1985 to 2017.
EXPLORING THE AMELIORATING ROLE OF THYMUS VULGARIS AND ARTEMISIA ANNUA POWDERS ON THE SIDE EFFECTS OF DICLAZURIL DRUG IN EIMERIA TENELLA EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED BROILER CHICKENS

Ameliorating effect of Thymus vulgaris and Artemisia annua powders on the adverse effects of diclazuril; an anticoccidial drug of E. tenella experimentally infected broiler chickens was investigated. Total of (105), one-day old cup broiler chicks were divided into seven groups each of 15 chickens: Group1 (G1) served as negative control. The other six groups were directly inoculated intra-crop with sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella on the 15 day of age. G2 was kept as the control positive. G3 treated with diclazuril (1ppm) in drinking water, G4 was fed ration mixed with Thymus vulgaris powder (5gm/kg). G5 was treated with diclazuril and Thymus vulgaris powder, while G6 was fed ration mixed with Artemisia annua powder (3gm/kg). G7 was treated with diclazuril and Artemisia annua powder. The experiment was continued for six weeks. The oocyst output, some biochemical parameters, hematological, immunological, drug residue, genotoxicity and histopathological changes were investigated. The results revealed that diclazuril had a worse effect on body weight, weight gain and feed conversion rate, while Thymus vulgaris ameliorates these worse effect, furthermore it failed to give complete coccidial clear, while Artemisia annua with diclazuril causes potent anti-coccidial effect. Diclazuril residues were detected in tissues. Administration of Thymus vulgaris and Artemisia annua had great value in decreasing diclazuril residues, enhance the immune profile and improved genotoxicity. In conclusion: administration of Thymus vulgaris and Artemisia annua powders with diclazuril can be successfully used in practice for ameliorating the adverse effects of diclazuril.
