Fortunately, marketing mix can be used as each elements of it is designed to meet customer’s needs and satisfaction. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between marketing mix and customer satisfaction at a Hypermarket in Kuala Terengganu. Four elements of marketing mix were discussed namely price, product, place and promotion. The data was collected from set of 381 questionnaires. All the questionnaires were distributed to a Hypermarket’s customers in Kuala Terengganu. The finding reveals that there is a positive relationship between all four marketing mix elements (price, product, place and promotion) and customer satisfaction at a Hypermarket in Kuala Terengganu. Hence, in providing effective element of price, product, place and promotion, retail industry particularly should aware on which elements of marketing mix that highly influence customer satisfaction.
The Role of Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition Process in Inflammatory Gingival Hyperplasia

Background: Gingival enlargement, the currently accepted terminology or an increase in the size of the gingiva. Local and systemic factors influence the gingival conditions of the patient. These factors result in a spectrum of diseases that can be developmental, reactive and inflammatory to neoplastic. Inflammatory gingival enlargement is the most common one; it is an inflammatory restraint to local irritant correlating with the gingiva. Material and method: The study involved 15 tissue blocks of inflammatory gingival hyperplasia taken from the archives of oral pathology, laboratory of oral diagnosis department, collage of dentistry/university of Baghdad. Immunohistochemical expression of Vimentin, E-Chdaherin and α-SMA was assessed. Results: Vimentin and E-Chadherin immunoreactivity of the connective tissue fibroblasts showed 100% positivity, while Alphasmooth muscle actin staining was mostly seen in the endothelial lined blood vessels with a few myofibroblast with in the connective tissue being stained positive. In this article we sought to investigate if the Epithelial mesenchymal transition theory participitated in the advancement of this benign lesion.

The population comprised all the teachers, heads and parents from six secondary schools. The sample was made up of three heads of schools, twelve teachers and six members of the parents’ body. The study employed the qualitative methodology. Data were generated through the use of interviews and focus group discussions. The study revealed that teachers and heads of schools generally thought that parents laced proper education and expertise to meaningfully contribute towards education of their children. Parents also saw their role as being facilitative and complementary the teacher’s duties of providing education to their children. The study recommends that schools should involve parents in school activities in a more systematic and sustained manner than is the ease now. There is also need for the curriculum in teacher training colleges to include a component of parental involvement in the education of their children.
Radiographic axial versus nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis: Comparison of the disease activity parameters and the disease activity and functional scores: RBSMR study

Background: A new terminology based on the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 2009 classification criteria has been proposed to describe the phenotype of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). This classification defines two subgroups: radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) patients and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) patients. Methods and findings: The aim of this study is to describe and analyse the differences and the similarities between r-axSpA and nr-axSpA concerning the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients and the disease features according to the Moroccan registry of biological therapies in rheumatic diseases RBSMR (Registre des Biotherapies de la Societe Marocaine de Rhumatologie) database. A cross-sectional, multicenter and analytical study based on the RBSMR registry database, which included 194 patients with SpA, among them 186 patients had axSpA fulfilling the 2009 ASAS criteria with 170 patients having r-axSpA and 16 patients having nr-axSpA. The demographic characteristics and the disease features were compared using descriptive statistics. Among 186 patients having axSpA, 91.4% had r-axSpA and 8.6% had nr-axSpA. The two subgroups shared respectively similar demographic characteristics with a mean age at 39 versus 38.5 years and had male gender predominance. We didn’t find significant differences between the two subgroups concerning the disease features which are the disease duration, the HLA B27, the family history of SpA, the extra-articular manifestations (uveitis and inflammatory bowel disease), the peripheral arthritis, the visual analogue scale for fatigue (VAS-F), the Schober’s test, the radiographic and ultrasonographic coxitis, except for the psoriasis which was significantly more frequent in patient with r-axSpA (p=0.027). We didn’t note significant differences between the two subgroups concerning the disease activity (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein) parameters and the disease activity (BASDAI, ASDAS-CRP) and functional (BASFI) scores. Conclusions: Our study didn’t find significant differences in the demographic, clinical characteristics of the patients and the disease features between the two subgroups r-axSpA versus nr-axSpA included in the Moroccan biotherapy registry RBSMR except for the psoriasis which was significantly more frequent in r-axSpA patients. These results differ from those reported in the literature because the registry included only the severe forms of SpA, which were referred to tertiary centers for treatment by biotherapy.
Skin Cancer Classification using Machine Learning for Dermoscopy Image

 Abstract: Skin cancer is highly ambiguous and difficult to identify and cure in the last stage. To increase the survival rate, it is important to recognize the stages of skin cancer for effective treatment. The main aim of the paper is to classify the various stages of skin cancer using dermoscopy images from the data repository of ISIC and PH 2 . The data is pre -processed with the help of median filter and wiener filter for removing the noise. Segmentation is processed using Watershed and Morphological. After the segmentation, features were extracted using Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Color, Geometrical shapes in order to improve the accuracy of dermoscopy image. Finally, the dataset is classified with some popular methods like KNN with 89%, Ensemble with 84% and SVM works better than the other two methods by giving the highest accuracy of 92%.
Effect of driver and driving style on the stress responses of pigs during a short journey by trailer

The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effect of driver and driving style on the behaviour, salivary cortisol concentration, and heart-rate variability of pigs during a short journey. In addition, the effect of differing accelerations (longitudinal, lateral, and vertical) of the trailer on these variables was studied. One hundred and thirty-five cross-bred pigs (Piétrain × Hypor) were transported in groups of five on a trailer towed by a jeep. Three different drivers transported the pigs using a normal, a quiet, and a wild driving style (the latter two in relation to their normal style). Driving style mainly had an effect on the longitudinal and lateral accelerations. Salivary cortisol increases were lowest for the wild driving style. The latter can be explained by the shorter duration of these journeys and not by the accelerations, thus it is our view that acceleration due to manoeuvring as opposed to acceleration due to overall speed should be avoided. Also, in practice, journeys should take as brief a time as possible. Increasing acceleration saw an increase in the proportion of pigs standing during the journey and a decrease in the proportion of pigs lying down. Measurements of variability in heart rate revealed that lateral acceleration was an important stressor for pigs. We concluded that, as driving style has an effect on different stress variables, increased driver awareness of the effects of their driving on the responses of pigs, would improve pig welfare.
Food Science and Nutrition Technology

The objective of this work was to study the quality of guar and guar gum produced in Sindh, Pakistan. Fresh guar, guar seeds and guar gum made in laboratory was analyzed for that purpose. For comparison purpose, analytical grade guar gum and industrial guar gum (prepared from guar split) was also studied. Results of proximate composition of guar seed revealed that it is mainly composed of Nitrogen free extract (45.7%) followed by protein (29.6%), moisture (12.4%), crude fiber (8.9%), ash (2.05%) and fat (1.30%). In contrast fresh guar had higher amount of moisture (36%)followed by Nitrogen free extract (23.2%), protein (15.9%), crude fiber (15.6), ash (5.97%) and fat (3.5%). while guar gum had highest nitrogen free extract (82.4%) as compared to fresh guar and seed. Tannin content was found in the range of 0.014-0.44%in fresh guar, its seedsand gum. Furthermore, galactomannan content was found higher (85.6%) in Analytical grade guar gum followed by Lab made (80%) and industrial made guar gum (77.9%). Mannose to Galactose ratio was quantified using gas chromatography in guar gum and was found to be 1.9:1.Hence guar produced in Pakistan are of good quality for human consumption and the guar gum produced from locally grown guar is of food quality as per EU standard and can be explored for commercial applications.
STUDY OF RISK FACTORS, PRESCRIPTION PATTERN AND COST ESTIMATION OF ACUTE GOUT IN A PRIVATE HOSPITAL

The principal objectives of this study were to determine the prescribing pattern, risk factors and cost estimation of the drugs commonly employed to treat acute gout in Nepal. Acute gout is one of the most common rheumatic diseases in the world. The incidence of gout has also risen rapidly in Nepal in the past decades. A prospective and descriptive study was conducted to assess the risk factors of acute gout, prescribing patterns and cost estimation of drugs used to treat acute gout in patients receiving treatment at nepal Arthritis and Rheumatic Diseases Treatment Center, Jawlakhel, Nepal over a period of three months (July 2015 -September 2015). A total of 103 cases were studied. Hospitalized patients were excluded from this study. The results revealed that majority of the patients were males and fell under the age group 40-49 years. The majority of patients were alcohol consumers (62.1%), consumers of purine rich diet (84.5%), and hyperlipidemia (33%), hypertensive (6.8%). 38.8% of the patients had family history of gout. Combination therapy was more common than mono-therapy. The combination of two drugs (60%) was used most frequently amongst the patients. Majority of the patients were treated with the combination of colchicine and febuxostat (53%). The average cost of the drugs per month was Rs 600.
Comparative analysis of sexual practice and contraceptive use among student and non student adolescent girls in Onitsha, Nigeria

Aim: Adolescents constitute one-fifth of Nigerian population. Risky sexual behaviour is reported to be rampant amongst them and the females often bear the brunt of the consequence. A comparative analysis was made of the sexual and contraceptive practices of unmarried female students and non students, in Onitsha Anambra State, Nigeria. Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative design in which 391 school girls were selected from 25 private and 17 public schools in the local government making use of multistage sampling method. Another 392 out-of school adolescent girls were selected from a major market in the same area using cluster sampling technique. Data on sociodemographic profile, sexual practices and contraceptive use were collected by means of pre-tested questionnaires. Results: A statistically significant proportion of the out-of-school girls 24.3% has had sex compared to the in-school girls 17.1% (P<0.05). The out-of-school girls also had statistically significantly lower mean age of sexual debut 14.7±2.7 compared to the in-school girls with a mean of 15.0±2.6. The main reasons for sexual initiation were pressure from partner and friends, transactional and non-consensual sex were also common among both groups. About half of the girls in both groups had multiple sexual partners but a larger proportion of the in-school respondents had sexual partners 5-10 years older than their age. There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion that used contraception at first or last sexual intercourse in both groups. Conclusion: Stakeholders in adolescent reproductive health should develop appropriate strategies such as sustainable peer education to improve the sexual health behaviour of the adolescents, especially the out-of-school girls who are evidently more vulnerable than their in-school counterparts. Community participation in health is also advocated for greater positive impact on the sexual practice and contraceptive use by the adolescents.
A study on the effectiveness of coping with test anxiety program based on cognitive-behavioral approach

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the program for coping with test anxiety based on the cognitive-behavioral approach on the levels of test anxiety, irrational thoughts, coping levels and academic self-efficacy perceptions of adolescents in the 8th grade. The study was performed as a semi-experimental study based on pre-test and post-test model with an experimental group and a control group. There were 32 students studying in the 8th grade in Kilis during the 2018-2019 school year participated in the study. While a seven-session Coping with Test Anxiety program based on Cognitive-Behavioral approach was applied to the students in the experimental group, no study was conducted with the control group. The Mann-Whitney U Test, Friedman Test, and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test were used in the analyses of data obtained from the study. According to study results, it can be said that the program for coping with test anxiety based on the cognitive-behavioral approach was significantly effective in the levels of test anxiety, irrational beliefs and active and avoidant coping levels of the adolescents while it was not effective in academic self-efficacy perceptions and negative avoidant coping levels.
Isolation and Characterization of α-Amyrin and β- Sitosterol from Ethyl Acetate Extract of the Leaves of Monechma ciliatum (Jacquin)

M. ciliatum is extensively used in Nigeria as remedy for general body pain, liver, cold, diarrhea and sterility. The study aims to isolate and characterize compounds from the ethyl acetate leaves extract of the plant. Healthy leaves of the plant were collected, washed under running water to remove earthy impurities, shade dried, soxhlet extracted using ethyl acetate and concentrated to obtain the ethyl acetate extract. While column and thin layer chromatography were used for the isolation and purification of the ethyl acetate extract respectively, 1 HNMR and 13 CNMR were employed for the structural elucidation of the isolates. The result reveals colorless crystalline solids U and M whose 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR and DEPT spectra data agrees reasonably with literature for the compounds α-amyrin benzoate and β-sitosterol. From these results and to the best of our knowledge this is the first report of the isolation of α-amyrin benzoate and β-sitosterol from the ethyl acetate leaves extract of M. ciliatum.

The Role of Tobacco Cessation Counseling in Physical Therapist Practice and Education

Tobacco use is the largest preventable cause of mortality and chronic disease, resulting in approximately 443,000 deaths and 8,600,000 cases of chronic illness each year. Smoking and second-hand smoke exposure impacts all areas of physical therapist practice, including cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, and integumentary health. Research has demonstrated the positive influence of tobacco cessation counseling by other health care practitioners including physicians, nurses, dentists, and pharmacists. Physical therapists can play an important role in this interdisciplinary initiative, particularly in light of epidemiologic data that shows people with disabilities have almost a ten percent greater smoking prevalence over the general population. The depth of our inter-personal relationships with our patients, and our history of successfully serving the greater public good, places physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in a prime position to have a serious impact on this important issue. In order to optimize treatment outcomes and advance preventive care, we must recognize our role in addressing the ill-effects of smoking and work to incorporate tobacco cessation counseling strategies as part of a comprehensive treatment approach. Brief advice and referral can take as little as five minutes, and should not be difficult to integrate into current practice patterns. Therefore, the aim of this article is to identify impairments commonly managed by physical therapists that are negatively affected by tobacco use, and to provide a rationale and guidelines for the profession, so that physical therapists and physical therapist assistants can effectively engage in smoking cessation interventions.

INTRODUCTION Avicennia alba, belonging to the family Avicenniaceae, is known to be a type of mangrove tree and grows in the tidal forests at the mouth of rivers. This species is found in India, Bangladesh, Burma, Malacca, Srilanka and often grown in southern Asia to southeast Asia and Australia (J.D. Hooker, 1982). This plant is used for fuel wood and timber in certain areas in the world (J.C.Th.uphof, 1968). The heartwood is used to make tonics. The bark and seeds of A.alba are used as a fish poison and resin used in birth control, ulcers treatment, skin diseases and also used to cure tumors (W.M. Bandaranayake, 1998).
Management: Human Resources Management: A Study on Existing Correlation ship Between Organizational Justice and work Commitment for Sustenance of Police Personnel in Department

An organizational activity playsa vital role for all employees to maintain their standard of living by performing regular service on daily basis. Further, flow of work done by employees was observed and need of organizational justice has been considered at initial level in order make it more efficient during working hours for maximum profit in organization (Adams, 1963). To maintain the level of interest among employees for work commitment more focus is still required in order to sustain their existence by maintaining proper correlation ship within each will encourage them to remain in same organization till their completion of service tenure (Adams, 1965). Employee’s interest depends on the procedural steps and work commitment given by employer for completing it daily basis with implementing proper steps in acquiring organizational justice at regular interval in organization. Employers focusing on effective implementation of proper procedural steps in getting equal justice to employees enable them to feel satisfied in performing and continuing their future work commitment in same organization (Leventhal, 1976). Employer at initial stage should explain the principles of working behaviour which enables employees to understand basic concepts of to fulfill given work commitment in organization. Employees show proper correlationship among each other whenever they understand exact rules and regulation to be implemented for effective commitment in order to achieve target oriented result in organization (Cropanzano and Greenberg, 1997). Maintaining proper correlation ship within each other by employer at specific intervals by providing exact training programmes to employees will enable them to work smoothly and think positive towards any work commitment in organization (Meyer and Allen, 1991). The current research study is focusing on introduction, reviewed literature, objectives along with hypotheses and data analysis which is explained through proper interpretation with providing appropriate findings and conclusion. Employees working in police department require more attention towards improving their existence of correlationship among each by Gazetted police officers in order to sustain till their allotted service tenure (Sholihin and Pike, 2010). Thus, current research study tries to understand the appropriate method for existence of effective correlation ship between organizational justice and work commitment for proper sustenance in police department situated in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
