Analysis of functional properties of peanut protein isolates as affected by oil extraction methods

The physico-chemical and functional characteristics of peanut protein isolates extracted from peanut cakes obtained as by-products from two different peanut oil extraction methods (cold pressed and heat pressed) were studied. Isolates from cold pressed method (CPI) exhibited superior physical properties such as particle size (as seen from scanning electron micrographs), and thermal denaturation profiles as obtained from differential scanning calorimeter, compared to isolates obtained from heat pressed method (HPI). Solubility profiles obtained for CPI and HPI were pH dependent with CPI been more soluble at all pH levels. Solubility around the isoelectric pH range of 4.5 – 5.5 was low for both samples. Other functional properties such as emulsification, whipping, fat and water absorption were better exhibited by CPI than HPI. From the SE-HPLC, HPI recorded a higher molecular weight (16.64KDa) than CPI (14.91KDa), while CPI had higher biochemical components (protein, carbohydrates) than HPI.

THE CONTRIBUTION MADE BY QUALITATIVE RESEARCH TO TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages)

Students and researchers of different disciplines — such as sociology, psychology, health care, nursing, education, arts and humanities, and so on — employ qualitative methods for their research project. In education, TESOL researchers increasingly use qualitative research enquiry. This study aimed to appraise the contributions of qualitative research to TESOL. In order to achieve this aim, the study demonstrated a critical understanding of theoretical debates in qualitative research. Then, two articles related to English language teaching to speakers of other languages were chosen with a view to arguing that qualitative research paradigm contributes to TESOL more than any other research paradigms. The key findings were characteristics of qualitative research: description-understanding-interpretation, dynamic, no single way of doing somethingmultiple realities, inductive thinking, holistic, in-depth study, words-themes-writing, and non-linear; existence of nexus between interpretivism and qualitative research; and positive impacts of qualitative research on TESOL.
Evaluation of the socioeconomic characteristics of rural women’s time consumption on farm, non-farm and leisure activities in Ohaji/Egbema local government area of Imo State, Nigeria

The study analysed rural women’s time utilization on farm, non-farm and leisure activities in Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State. The study adopted random sampling technique in the selection of respondents for the study. One hundred women were randomly selected and questionnaire was the main instrument for data collection. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance and regression analysis. The findings showed that age of the women influenced the time spent on farming activities negatively and significantly. Marital status, educational level, household size, and income level positively and significantly affected the amount of time spent on farming activities. In the case of non-farming activities, age significantly and negatively affected the amount of time spent by rural women on non-farm income generating activities. Income and educational level positively and significantly affected the amount of time spent by rural women on non-farm income generating activities. Age, marital status, educational level, and household size negatively affected the amount of time spent by rural women on leisure while income positively and significantly affected the amount of time spent by rural women on leisure. The daily average amount of time spent by rural women on farming activities, non-farming activities, and leisure were 10.81, 6.30 and 6.90 h respectively. The result of the analysis of variance revealed that there is a significant difference in the amount of time spent on farming activities, nonfarming activities, and leisure by rural women. This study therefore concludes that time resource allocation and utilization of rural women is significantly dependent on their socioeconomic characteristics. Also, time utilized in farming, non-farming and leisure activities significantly differ from each other. As a way of enhancing the productivity of rural women, appropriate gender policy is necessary to enhance the welfare of the rural women and most importantly agricultural transformation is of paramount importance to reduce the drudgery of rural women.
Artesunate-induced hemoglobinuria in falciparum malaria

A 26-year-old male got admitted with fever of 103°F with chills and rigor for 6 days. He was diagnosed with Plasmodium falciparum infection by peripheral blood smear examination, later confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis. Blood smear showed 2% parasitemia. As the patient was hypotensive, intravenous artesunate was started. Two days later, he reported passing "Coca-Cola"-colored urine. Examination revealed tachycardia, anemia, and mild icterus. Serum free hemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase was elevated whereas haptoglobin was very low. Urine showed the presence of hemoglobin without red blood cells. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase assay was normal. Chloroquine, primaquine, and quinine levels in blood were undetectable. There was no evidence of any coinfection. Artesunate was stopped suspecting a causal relationship. Intravenous quinine was started. The urine showed progressive clearance over 3 days, and the patient recovered. The strong temporal association of initiating artesunate and occurrence of hemoglobinuria suggested the possible etiological implication which is not documented before.

The effects of supplementing diet with unsaturated oil on productive performances of Holstein dairy cows in early lactation

To examine the effect of including oil in diets on early lactating productive performance parameters including; dry matter intake, milk production and components, body condition score, body weight and negative energy balance; twenty multiparous Holstein cows were randomly assigned to the experimental diets from 21 days before predicted calving time to 50 days in milk. Treatments including 1) control (no supplemented oilin both pre and postpartum, n=10) and 2) supplemented diets (supplemented with fish oil and canola oil in 50:50 ratio in amount 1% DM in prepartum and 2% DM in postpartum). Prepartum and postpartum dry matter intake, body condition score and body weight were not affected by the diets (P>0.05). Negative energy balance in early lactation was similar between diets (P>0.05). Daily milk production increased in oil supplemented diet (P<0.05) and milk fat percentage decreased in the supplemented diet (P<0.05), but including oil in diets had no effects on protein percentage and production, fat and lactose production in milk (P>0.05). According to results, supplementing diet with fish oil and canola oil from prepartum to early lactation had no adverse effects on the productive parameters in early lactation and also increased milk production.

The Fibonacci Numbers and Its Amazing Applications

Fibonacci sequence of numbers and the associated “Golden Ratio” are manifested in nature and in certain works of art. We observe that many of the natural things follow the Fibonacci sequence. It appears in biological settings such as branching in trees, phyllotaxis (the arrangement of leaves on a stem), the fruit sprouts of a pineapple, the flowering of an artichoke, an uncurling fern and the arrangement of a pine cone's bracts etc. At present Fibonacci numbers plays very important role in coding theory. Fibonacci numbers in different forms are widely applied in constructing security coding.

Intralesional Bleomycin Injection in Pediatric Lymphangioma, Is it the Magic Solution?

Lymphangioma is a congenital disorder that arises from malformed lymphatic system [1]. They are considered to be aberrations of lymphatic channels that consist of cysts filled with chyle and lined with endothelium [2]. They may occur in all body regions but are most commonly seen in neck (75%), axilla (20%), and inguinal areas (2%) [3]. About, 60% of lymphangioma presents since birth, 80% appears within the first two years of life or may present later on any time [1]. It has a variable incidence that ranges between 1 in 1000 and 16000 live births [4]. According to the size of the lymphatic cavities incorporated, Lymphangiomas can be classified as microcystic (capillary lymphangiomas), macrocystic (cavernous lymphangiomas) and cystic hygromas [5]. Cystic hygroma usually forms in loose areolar tissue, whereas capillary and cavernous types of lymphangiomas tend to present in muscle [4]. The most prominent manifestation of all lymphangiomas is the presence of a mass. This may be small and unnoticed at birth and present later with an upper respiratory tract disorder or incidental trauma at the site of the mass [6]. Surgery is the main modality of treatment for head and neck lymphangioma. However, it carries complications that may reach 12-33% and recurrence 15-53% [7].
INFLUENCE OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ON PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION FIRMS IN KENYA

Strategic Management is concerned with making decisions and taking corrective actions to achieve long term targets and goals of an organization. The management of the construction industry is important in order to improve its performance and increase the number of national Gross Domestic Product, since studies indicate that the construction industry contributes on average between 5 to 9% of GDP in developing countries such as Kenya. However, though the need for a strategic perspective for construction companies has long been stressed by many researchers, few studies have focused on the process. The purpose of the study therefore was to establish the influence of strategic management process on the performance of construction firms in Kenya. The study targeted all 52 employees of Reliable Concrete Works Limited, Kenya. The study employed a descriptive research design. Closed ended questionnaires were used to collect data using simple random sampling technique. The data was coded and analyzed using SPSS. For purposes of establishing the strength and direction of the variables in the study, a correlation analysis was carried out. It was established that competitive strategies had a strong and positive relationship with performance of construction firms (r = 0.587). Further, it was established that both portfolio analysis and goal setting were equally important in enhancing the performance of construction firms. It was therefore recommended that construction firms enhance their competitive strategies in order to gain competitive advantage over their business rivals.
A Metameric Genetic Algorithm with New Operator for Covering Salesman Problem with Full Coverage

: Post disaster management is a tough and challenging task which carries risks of plenty of lives. To carry on the relief and mass fatality management activities, it is very dif ﬁ cult to reach to all the places of the affected area. Hence, we need Covering Salesman Problem (CSP), a variant of Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), which can be used to tackle such type of situations. A customer is said to be covered, if it lies within a pre-speci ﬁ ed distance of a visited facility on the tour. In this paper, we consider a CSP problem with full coverage and propose a Metameric Genetic Algorithm (MGA) with a new crossover operator. The results are compared with those of various algorithms existing in the literature which shows that the proposed algorithm performs better with respect to cost as well as execution time. Standard TSP instances are considered for evaluating the performance of the CSP, implemented with the proposed algorithm.
Cryptosporidium Infection Among Patients Presenting With Diarrhoea In Kaduna State, Nigeria

This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis in patients who presented with diarrhea in three major hospitals in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The study was a prospective cross-sectional study, a total of 600 diarrhoeic stool samples were collected and screened for oocysts of Cryptosporidium species using modified Ziehl-Neelsen staining method. The prevalence of cryptosporidiosis was 5.0%. Children under 5 years were found to have significantly (χ = 3.943, p = 0.047) higher prevalence (7.6%) than older patients (3.5%). Symptoms including abdominal pain (χ = 9.416, p = 0.002), fever (χ = 6.643, p = 0.010) and duration of diarrhoea (χ = 8.562, p = 0.036) were also demonstrated to be significantly associated with cryptosporidiosis. Cryptosporidium infection in Kaduna State also had significant association (p ≤ 0.05) with place of residence (χ = 3.943, p = 0.047), where rural dwellers had 7.0% (18/257) prevalence and urban dweller had 3.5% (12/343); animal contact (χ = 6.558, p = 0.010), patients who admitted having contact with animals had 7.6% (27/357) prevalence as against 1.2% (3/248); and method of water treatment (χ = 18.844, p < 0.001), 7.9% (30/379) of subjects who did not treat their water before consumption had cryptosporidiosis. These findings therefore highlighted the presence of Cryptosporidium species infection among humans in Kaduna State. The study highlighted the significance of animal contact and methods of water treatment as possible risk factors. [Okojokwu OJ, Inabo HI, Yakubu SE, Okubanjo OO.
