PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF Capparis spinosa ROOTS EXTRACTS AGAINST SOME PATHOGENIC BACTERIA

Medicinal plant is one of the most effective and safe for the treatment of human diseases. Extract from root of Capparis spinosa was prepared in petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol by employing three different methods of extraction viz. Ultrasonication, Soxhlet methods and extraction by continuous shaking at room temperature. The phytochemical results revealed different components of plant extracts with the different solvents based on the polarity of each solvent. The results show that there is significant difference among all three studied solvents for each extraction method at p ≤0.05, since p values are 0.000, 0.000 and 0.001 respectively.However, there is significant difference among the three different studied extraction methods sincep≤ 0.05, for the two solvents, (petroleum ether and methanol), wherep values are 0.040, 0.001 respectively. While, for ethyl acetate, there is no significant difference. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), of crude extracts, by three solvents (Petroleum ether, Ethyl acetate and methanol) against S. Epidermidis were 50 mg/ml for petroleum ether extract and 200 mg/ml for the remains. The MIC was the same for the three solvents extracts against S. aureus was 200 mg/ml. Finally, the MIC was 200 mg/ml for petroleum ether extracts and 100 mg/ml for ethyl acetate and the methanol extracts against E. coli.
The Equivalence Myth of Quantum Mechanics-Part I

The author endeavours to show two things: first, that Schrodinger’s (and Eckart’s) demonstration in March (September) 1926 of the equivalence of matrix mechanics, as created by Heisenberg, Born, Jordan and Dirac in 1925, and wave mechanics, as created by Schrddinger in 1926, is not foolproof; and second, that it could not have been foolproof, because at the time matrix mechanics and wave mechanics were neither mathematically nor empirically equivalent. That they were is the Equivalence Myth. In order to make the theories equivalent and to prove this, one has to leave the historical scene of 1926 and wait until 1932, when von Neumann finished his magisterial edifice. During the period 192632 the original families of mathematical structures of matrix mechanics and of wave mechanics were stretched, parts were chopped off and novel structures were added. To Procrustean places we go, where we can demonstrate the mathematical, empirical and ontological equivalence of ‘the final versions of’ matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. The present paper claims to be a comprehensive analysis of one of the pivotal papers in the history of quantum mechanics: Schrodinger’s equivalence paper. Since the analysis is performed from the perspective of Suppes’ structural view (‘semantic view’) of physical theories, the present paper can be regarded not only as a morsel of the internal history of quantum mechanics, but also as a morsel of applied philosophy of science. The paper is self-contained and presupposes only basic knowledge of quantum mechanics. Due to its length, the paper is published in two parts. Section 1 of the paper contains, besides an introduction, also the paper’s five claims and a preview of the arguments supporting these claims; so Section 1 serves too as a brief summary of the paper for those readers who are not interested in the detailed arguments.

Performance of tomato hybrids for quality traits under Mid-hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh

An experiment was conducted during Kharif 2016 at the Experimental Farm of RHR&TS, Jachh, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh with an objective to evaluate the quality traits of 20 hybrids resulting from ten lines and two testers mated in a line × tester mating design. The hybrid, EC-620410 × Solan Lalima had maximum fruit shape index while the hybrid EC-37239 × Solan Lalima recorded least number of locules per fruit. Both these traits are desired for long distance transportation as well as processing. Maximum pericarp thickness was recorded the hybrid EC-37239 × FT-5, whereas, the hybrid between LE-79-5 and FT-5 excelled among all with respect to TSS. Ascorbic acid content in the fresh fruits was maximum in BT-1-1 × FT-5. All the studied traits are among the key traits desired for processing and for long distance transportation. Keeping the consumers’ preferences and specific end use in view, for commercial exploitation of heterosis, these hybrids may further be evaluated in multiple locations for yield and other yield contributing traits before releasing them as a variety.

E-WOM, TRUST, USEFULNESS, EASE OF USE, AND ONLINE SHOPPING VIA WEBSITES: THE MODERATING ROLE OF ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

Purpose: This research contributes towards the development of Electronic Commerce Literature in two ways that are: in the first phase it focuses upon the influence of usefulness, ease of use, electronic mouth of words, trust on online shopping, in the second phase it tested the effect of online experience as a moderation on the relationship between trust and attitude towards online shopping in the context of Jordan. Design/methodology/approach: The structural model was assessed using PLS bootstrapping procedures. The hypotheses were assessed based on path coefficients and their significance level. Hypotheses H1, H2, H3, H4 and H5 were assessed based on the baseline model. Meanwhile, hypothesis H6 was assessed based on the moderated model. Findings: The results revealed that the relationship between ewom and trust was positive and significant, providing empirical support for hypothesis H1. Similarly, the relationship between ease of use and trust was positive and significant therefore providing support for hypothesis H2. Contrary to the expectation of hypothesis H3, the results also indicated that the relationship between usefulness and trust was at the opposite direction and not significant, thereby hypothesis H3 was rejected. The results also revealed that the relationship between trust and online purchasing was positive and significant providing empirical support for hypothesis H4. The moderated model was designed to estimate the moderating effect of online experience on the relationship between trust and online purchasing as stated in hypothesis H5. The results indicated that H5 was rejected. The result are discussed in line with the previous literature and the limitations and future research areas were discussed too. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature on the adoption of online shopping by the consumers of developing countries. In addition, this paper examines the effect of E-WOM, trust, usefulness, and ease of use on online shopping via websites with the moderating role of online experience
TAGLN expression decreases in the wall of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in Chinese population

Background: The rupture of intracranial aneurysm (IA) is the primary cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage with high mortality and morbidity. However, there were no effective treatment options prior to the rupture of IA, except for surgical treatment or endovascular therapy, which might lead to complications. Therefore, biomoleculebased therapeutic model should be investigated. Methods: A total of 5 selected GEO datasets were chosen. Proteinprotein interaction was conducted with the STRING and MCODE plug-in tool. Gene ontology analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment were also conducted using the DAVID database. Real-time PCR was applied for analyzing the differential expressions of TAGLN and TPM1 among 16 unruptured vessels and 10 normal superficial temporal arteries. Results: We found no common DEGs, biological processes, molecule functions and KEGG pathway enrichments among the selected GEO datasets. Total of 102 common DEGs were found between GSE26969 and GSE46337, which were two Chinese population-based datasets. Module analysis showed that IA was correlated with vascular smooth muscle contraction related genes and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) gene cluster related genes. The expression of TAGLN was replicated to be decreased in the unruptured IA vessels (P = 0.003). Conclusion: This bioinformatic analysis demonstrated the correlations between IA and MHC gene cluster as well as vascular smooth muscle contraction related genes. TAGLN was initially replicated to be decreased in the unruptured vessels of IA patients. It might provide potential biomolecules for therapeutic target of IA.
How Are Company Size, Financial Performance and Corporate Governance Related to Directors' Remuneration?

This study examined the relationship between the company-specific characteristics, namely, company size, company performance, and company leverage and the corporate governance attributes of a company which includes CEO duality and remuneration committee independence as the predictor factors that determine directors’ remuneration. A sample of 260 public listed companies on Bursa Malaysia was selected using stratified random sampling for the financial reporting of 2018. All data concerning the company characteristics and corporate governance attributes were obtained from the annual reports of the companies, which can be accessed from the Bursa Malaysia website. Pearson correlation and multi-regression analysis were used to analyse the data to determine the relationship of the predictor variables with director remuneration. On the one hand, the results of the study showed that directors’ remuneration is positively and significantly related to the size of the company. On the other hand, the financial performance of a company is positively but weakly related to directors remuneration. The remaining predictors have no relationship with directors’ remuneration. The finding suggested that the key determinant factor of directors’ remuneration is company size whereas company performance may have a small impact. Lastly, company compliance with the recommendation of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance did not guarantee the effectiveness of the monitoring function of the remuneration committee in ensuring that directors’ remuneration is commensurate with company performance. The result of the study provides additional evidence and support that company size and financial performance are linked to director remuneration. Also the finding of the study reconfirmed prior study that board leadership structure (CEO duality) and remuneration committee independent have no impact on directors’ remuneration.
Comprehensive approach for strengthening the management of regional referral hospitals in Tanzania

Hospital managers in Tanzania have always been expected to manage and deliver quality services to patients under resource constrained situation. In the organizational structure of regional referral hospitals (RRHs) in Tanzania, including, clinicians with very limited knowledge of and skills in management hold over 80% of the managerial positions. The Ministry of Health, Community Development, Gender, Elderly and Children of Tanzania has identified the strengthening of management at RRHs as a key to improving efficiency and effectiveness in health service delivery. The ministry launched a five-year project for strengthening hospital management in RRHs in collaboration with the Japan International Cooperation Agency. The project provided a series of training courses for capacitating RRH management Team (RRHMT), and developed and introduced several planning, monitoring, and evaluation tools. This study was conducted to identify the positive factors and approaches for strengthening management of RRHs. Necessary information and data were collected through the intervention and analyzed to measure the effectiveness of the interventions. RRHMT members obtained basic knowledge of and skills for hospital management through the project interventions with those deferent management tools to improve the completion of their hospital management tasks. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the interventions were effective in strengthening the managerial capacity of RRHMTs. The study also confirmed that the strategy to improve hospital management was on the right track for improving health service delivery in efficient and effective manners. The lessons learned from the project can be adjusted for the management of lower healthcare facilities.
Family Socio-economic Status and Students’ Participation in Education in Siaya County, Kenya

The purpose of this study was to establish how students’ family socio-economic status influenced their participation in public secondary schools in Siaya County. The researcher used mixed methods approach and descriptive data was collected. The target population was 21,017 comprised of 276 school principals, 6 subcounty directors of education and 20,735 form IV students with a sample size of 2,160. The researcher adopted stratified simple random sampling technique to get respondents from categories of the schools. Data collection instruments were questionnaires, interview schedules and document analysis. Both descriptive and inferential data analysis methods were used in analyzing data. The study findings established that students’ family socio-economic status had a significant influence on students’ participation in public secondary school in Siaya County. Introduction A home is a place where one lives permanently as a member of a family or household. According to Hawes & Plourdes (2005) environment is the total aggregate of all internal and external conditions influencing the existence, growth and welfare of organisms. A Child’s immediate environment therefore includes parents, siblings and peers with whom the child interacts with thus determining the destiny in later life and for that matter parents have a distinct advantage over their children than anyone else in that they provide a more stable environment that reinforces learning both at home and in education. Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study was to establish how students’ family socio-economic status influenced their participation in public secondary schools in Siaya County. Objective of the Study The objective of the study was to examine the influence of family socio-economic status on students’ participation in public secondary schools in Siaya County, Kenya. Literature Review Parents’ support in provision of conducive home environment can be viewed as their participation in education related activities since it determines how the children perform in education since some of what a child learns from home reinforces what is taught at school. Parents in that instance should show some concern about school work by supervising homework and providing guidance as children go through their studies (Fiore, 2001 & Thomson, 2018). Mwangi et al. (2017) observes that environment may be classified as urban or rural environment and it entails objects, materials, parents, siblings, peers and social life which exists in homes that influence ARTICLE INFO Received 17, August, 2020 Received in Revised Form 5 September, 2020 Accepted 10 October, 2020 Published online 12 October, 2020

The Current Status of Germplum Database: a Tool for Characterization of Plum Genetic Resources in Romania

In Romania, Prunus genetic resources are kept in collections of varieties, populations and biotypes, mainly located in research and development institutes or fruit growing stations and, in the last years, by some private enterprises. Creating the experimental model for the Germplum database based on phenotypic descriptors and SSR molecular markers analysis is an important and topical objective for the efficient characterization of genetic resources and also for establishing a public-private partnership for the effective management of plum germplasm resources in Romania. The technical development of the Germplum database was completed and data will be added continuously after characterizing each new accession.
Disentangling good from bad practices in the selection of spatial or phylogenetic eigenvectors

Eigenvector mapping techniques are widely used by ecologists and evolutionary biologists to describe and control for spatial and/or phylogenetic patterns in their data. The selection of an appropriate subset of eigenvectors is a critical step (misspecification can lead to highly biased results and interpretations), and there is no consensus yet on how to proceed. We conducted a ten‐year review of the practices of eigenvector selection and highlighted three main procedures: selecting the subset of descriptors minimising the Akaike information criterion (AIC), using a forward selection with double stopping criterion after testing the global model significance (FWD), and selecting the subset minimising the autocorrelation in the model residuals (MIR). We compared the type I error rates, statistical power, and R² estimation accuracy of these methods using simulated data. Finally, a real dataset was analysed using variation partitioning analysis to illustrate to what extent the different selection approaches affected the ecological interpretation of the results. We show that, while the FWD and MIR approaches presented a correct type I error rate and were accurate, the AIC approach displayed extreme type I error rates (100%), and strongly overestimated the R². Moreover, the AIC approach resulted in wrong ecological interpretations, as it overestimated the pure spatial fraction (and the joint spatial‐environmental fraction to a lesser extent) of the variation partitioning. Both the FWD and MIR methods performed well at broad and medium scales but had a very low power to detect fine‐scale patterns. The FWD approach selected more eigenvectors than the MIR approach but also returned more accurate R² estimates. Hence, we discourage any future use of the AIC approach, and advocate choosing between the MIR and FWD approaches depending on the objective of the study: controlling for spatial or phylogenetic autocorrelation (MIR) or describing the patterns as accurately as possible (FWD).

A User-Friendly Tool to Characterize the Moisture Transfer in Porous Building Materials: FLoW1D

This paper presents a user-friendly tool—FLoW1D (One-Dimensional Water Flow)—for the estimation of parameters that characterize the unsaturated moisture transfer in porous building materials. FLoW1D has been developed in Visual Basic for Applications and implemented as a function of the well-known Microsoft Excel© spreadsheet application. The aim of our work is to provide a simple and useful tool to improve the analysis and interpretation of conventional tests for the characterization of the hygric behavior of porous building materials. FLoW1D embraces the conceptual model described in EN 15026 for moisture transfer in building elements, and its implementation has been verified and validated correctly. In order to show the scope of the code, an example of an application has been presented. The hygric characterization of the limestone that is mostly employed in the Cathedral of Santa Maria and San Julian in Cuenca (Spain) was conducted based on an analysis of the conventional water absorption by capillarity tests (EN 15801).

Tel No : +605-4688888 ext 4454 /+6016-5580938 E-mail : laikuanteh@gmail.com Alpha-thalassaemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive pattern. When both parents are αthalassaemia carriers, there will be a 25% chance in getting an unaffected child, 50% chances in getting an asymptomatic carrier child, and 25% chances in getting an α-thalassaemia major child in each pregnancy. In Southeast Asia, thousands of infants were born with α-thalassaemia intermedia (HbH) and major (Hb Barts Hydrops Fetalis) per year. The highest frequency of α-thalassaemia has been seen in the Southeast Asian population, followed by Mediterranean countries, India, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa. The prevalence rate of αthalassaemia in Malaysia can be up to 5%.
