The protective role of Echium humile extract against toxicity induced by insecticide (malathion) in male albino rats

The present study was designed to evaluate the influence of Echium humile extract treatment in rats exposed to malathion. Twenty eight adult male rats were used in this study and distributed into four groups. Animals of group 1 were treated with 1 ml of distilled water and served as control. Rats of group 2 were orally given malathion at a dose level of 75 mg/kg/b.wt for a period of 28 days. Rats of group 3 were supplemented with Echium humile extract at a dose level of (250 mg/kg/b.wt). Experimental animals of group 4 were orally given Echium humile extract at the same dose given to group 3 and after 1 hours exposed to malathion at the same dose given to group 2. The groups treated with Malathion showed elevation in serum glucose, creatinine,Cholesterol, Tri glyceride, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level while, cholinesterase(ChE) decreased significantly. Moreover, Administration of Echium humile extract after malathion exposure to rat can prevent severe alterations of hematobiochemical parameters. In conclusion, this study obviously demonstrated that pretreatment with Echium humile extract significantly attenuated the physiological alterations induced by malathion. Also, the present study identifies new areas of research for development of better therapeutic agents for liver, kidney, and other organs’ dysfunctions and diseases. [Abd El-Aziz.A. Diab Samih.I.

Modal analysis of an elliptical plate clamped along its boundary

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract The first four natural frequency parameters of a clamped elliptical plate have been obtained using ANSYS. The plate is considered to have uniform thickness. Modal analysis of the plate is carried out in ANSYS 14.0. Results are tabulated for different aspect ratios. It has been observed that the natural frequency parameter of the plate decreases as the aspect ratio increases. Mode shapes of the clamped elliptical plate are plotted for the aspect ratio of 0.5. The results obtained are in good agreement with those provided in the literature. Finite element method serves as a good means to solve simple to complex engineering problems, the near to accurate results of which can be obtained by ensuring a proper mesh of the component that depends on the type, size and the number of element.
MODERATING ROLE OF THE PERCEPTION OF UNIVERSITY SUPPORT ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEIVED EFFECTIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AND PERCEIVED CREATIVITY DISPOSITION ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION

The study examine the moderating role of the perception of university support on the relationship between perceived effective entrepreneurship education and perceived creativity disposition on entrepreneurial intention among Nigeria University Students. We employed the use of Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine a representative sample of 296 students from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. Results indicate a significant positive influence of perceived creativity disposition on entrepreneurial intention, while perceived effective entrepreneurship education is not significant in stimulating entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, the findings reveal a moderating effect of the perception of University support on the relationship between perceived effective entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. Nonetheless, perception of university support did not moderate the perceived creativity disposition and entrepreneurial intention relationship. We extend empirical research on these relationships.
Effect Of Explant Source And Different Medium Culture On Friable Embryogenic Callus Induction Of Four Cultivars Of Cassava (Manihot Esculenta Crantz)

Abtract: In order to obtain Friable Embryogenic Callus (FEC) for protoplast isolation, we have evaluated in this research the competance for Friable Embryogenic Callus (FEC) of four cassava cultivars M61/033, Rendre, Yalipe and Six-mois in media containing MS supplemented with 8mg/l 2,4-D; MS supplemented with 10 mg/l BAP and GD supplemented with 12mg/l picloram using apical bud (AB) and immature leaves lobes (ILL) as explants. In general, in the medium GD+12mg/l picloram, the highest efficiencies of FEC ranged from 58 % to 87 % and the highest score of FEC ranged from 4.2 to 5.4 with explants AB, however we have observed with explants ILL, the efficiencies of somatic embryos ranged form 41% to 75% and the score ranged from 4.1 to 4.4. The mediums MS2+8 mg/l 2,4-D have induced with explants AB, the efficiencies of FEC ranged from 43% to 57% and the score ranged from 3.1 to 3.8, however with ILL explants the efficiencies of FEC ranged from 39 % to 49 % and the score ranged from 2.9 to 3.7. The least FEC were observed in the medium MS2+10 mg/l BAP with BA explants, however the efficiencies ranged from 6% to 11% and the score ranged from 1.1 to 1.8. Whereas the efficiencies of FEC with ILL explants ranged from 4% to 7 % and the score ranged from 0.5 to 0.8. All of four cultivars showed capability of producing FEC although their efficiency varied according to gonotype donors explants and medium taking into acount.

Post abortion contraceptive behavior among Indian women

Induced abortion has been practiced in one form or another from the beginning of human society. However, recently the practice of induced abortion appears to have increased significantly in many countries of the world. Estimates indicate that approximately 70 million of the 205 million pregnancies yearly end in abortion. Of these, 42 million are induced abortion. Of the total induced abortions, a large share takes place in the developing countries using unsafe contraceptive method. Although decriminalization of abortion feature of evolving the legal system in many parts of the world, the law still restricts induced abortion in many third world countries.
Detection of Abnormal ECG Signal using DWT Feature Extraction and CNN

---------------------------------------------------------------------***---------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the important reasons of mortality in the worldwide. The main cardiovascular diseases are heart attack, Bigeminy, Trigeminy, left and Right Bundle Branch Block. ECG Signals can be used to predict the whether the patient is in normal or abnormal state. Visual analysis needs experience to identify the problems in ECG. This paves a way for Computerized ECG. In computerized ECG the automatic classification of heart disease into normal and abnormal is done in an automated manner. The Discrete Waveform Transform can be used to extract the features from the signal. Once the features are extracted in a numerical value, then it can be used to predict whether the signal is normal or abnormal. The convolutional Neural Network is used to predict the status of the signal. The goal of the project is to improve the efficiency of the prediction system for the early stage of cardiovascular disease by using DWT Feature extraction and Convolutional Neural Network.
The Impact of Military Spending on Economic Growth: Evidence from the US Economy

The impact of military spending on gross domestic product (GDP) growth is not clear and deserves detailed empirical analysis in order to discern which one (if any) of the effects prevails: do defense expenditures have an externality effect on an economy, specifically with regard to technological progress, infrastructure, and human capital formation or do they crowd out resources for investment and consumption, thereby hindering economic growth? The present study aims at investigating the relationship between military expenditures and economic growth in United States Of America (USA) using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration tests for the period from 1970 to 2011. The results suggest that, there is the negative relationship between military expenditure and economic growth. Keywords: New Macroeconomic Model; Military expenditures; Economic growth, ARDL; USA.
Enhanced of Image Mining Techniques the Classification Brain Tumor Accuracy (ENCEPHALON)

: Image Mining is growing modernly outstanding to its wide applications. An efficient MRI image segmentation is needed at present. In this paper, MRI Brain segmentation is done by Semi supervised learning which does not require pathology modeling and, thus, allows high degree of automation. In abnormality detection, a vector is characterized as anomalous if it does not comply with the probability distribution obtained from normal data. The estimation of the probability density function, however, is usually not feasible due to large data dimensionality. In order to overcome this challenge, we treat every image as a network of locally coherent image partitions (overlapping blocks). We formulate and maximize a strictly concave likelihood function estimating abnormality for each partition and fuse the local estimates into a globally optimal estimate that satisfies the consistency constraints, based on a distributed estimation algorithm. After this features are extracted by Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM) algorithm and those features are given to Particle Spam Optimization (PSO) and finally classification is done by using Library Support Vector Machine (LIBSVM). Thus results are evaluated and proved its efficiency using accuracy.
Seasonal incidence and management of wheat aphid, Sitobion avenae (F.)

Experiments conducted on the seasonal incidence of Sitobion avenae F. during 2010–2011 and 2011–2012 at the University Farm of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology-Jammu revealed that it was @ 2.16 aphids/shoot in the 5th standard week and reached maximum (10.04 aphids/shoot) in the 11th standard week. The maximum and minimum temperatures had positive and significant effect (r = 0.719* and r = 0.565*), while relative humidity and rainfall had negative and significant correlation (r = - 0.425* and r = - 0.462*). Imidacloprid 200SL (0.008%) was the most effective in reducing population followed by thiamethoxam 25WG (0.0125%), dimethoate 30EC (0.03%), oxy-demeton methyl 125EC (0.03%), quinalphos 25EC (0.05%), clothianidin 50WDG (0.025%), acetamiprid 20SP (0.06%), flubendiamide 480SC (0.003%) and neem seed kernel extract (NSK) (5%). The maximum yield was recorded with imidacloprid (32.65 q ha−1) followed by thiamethoxam (31.72q ha−1) and dimethoate (30.59 q ha−1). The highest cost:benefit ratio (1:24.78) was obtained with dimethoate and the lowest in flubendiamide.
Patient characteristics related to hospital readmission in heart failure patients.

The unplanned hospital readmissions in elderly with heart failure consume a considerable amount of healthcare and social resources. Thus, knowledge of the characteristics and predictive factors for patients who are at high risk for hospital readmission could provide a better understanding upon which to develop effective interventions aimed at improving patient outcomes in heart failure patients. The purpose of this study was to examine the patient characteristics and factors related to hospital readmission in heart failure patients. Multivariate analyses of 98heart failure patients treated and discharged during May 1, 2006 to May, 1, 2007 were performed. Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Service Utilization was used to organize factors including population characteristics (predisposing characteristics, enabling resources, and need), health behaviors/use of health services (hospital length of stay, home healthcare, CCU stay, device implantation), and outcome (readmission). Differences in population characteristics between readmitted and not readmitted patients were compared. Readmitted study patients had a significantly lower hemoglobin (t = 2.23, p = .03) and significantly higher sodium level (t = -2.3, p = .02). In addition,, patients who were diagnosed with diabetes (χ = 4.4, p = .04) or who had physical impairment at discharge (χ2 = 9.2, p = .002) had higher readmission rate than the not readmitted HF patients. Use of health services was compared. The readmitted HF patients were more likely to have a CCU stay at their index admission (26% vs. 9%). There were not significant differences on hospital length of stay, having device 6 implantation, and home healthcare between readmitted and not readmitted patients. A lower LVEF, the presence of physical impairment were associated with longer hospital stays. Heart failure patients with physical impairment and those with diabetes were more likely to received home healthcare before their initial hospitalization. Conclusion: Population characteristic of HF patients were influential on hospital readmission. Among three of the sub-concepts of population characteristics, need had the most predictability in this study, consistent with the theory. However, the moderating effect of use of health service between population characteristics and outcome was not supported in this study.
Relationship between Serum Prolactin Level and the Clinical Course of Fibrocystic Breast Changes: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Study

formation, epithelial hyperplasia, adenosis, and apocrine metaplasia (1,2). Nearly 40% of women of childbearing age have fibrocystic changes (3-4). F.C. C pathogenesis is not quite clear. In an article, it is attributed to the breast tissue’s response to the monthly changes in estrogen and progesterone levels (5). Another article attributes it to the increased levels of estrogen and lower levels of progesterone (6). These lesions are often associated with benign changes in breast epithelium (1). However, 5% of fibrocystic changes have atypical hyperplasia which is associated with a five-fold increase of risk of cancer (of course, if they have a positive family history of INTRODUCTION
Dropping the MYC : A review of post-radiation atypical vascular lesions and angiosarcoma of the breast

The development of cutaneous mammary vascular lesions following irradiation as breast cancer therapy has been well-documented. Accurately distinguishing between atypical vascular lesions (AVL) and angiosarcoma (AS) is of great clinical consequence, as their treatment and prognosis differ greatly. Exact classification based on histology alone on a small biopsy sample has the potential to be quite challenging, as areas of AS may be histopathologically indistinguishable from AVL. Studies have confirmed MYC amplification in secondary AS, and found lack of amplification in radiation-induced AVL. Furthermore, anti-MYC IHC has been shown to be a sensitive marker in AS, and could serve as a useful diagnostic tool for pathologists. This review article describes and compares the clinical and histologic features of AVL and radiation-associated AS, with special emphasis on advances made in the understanding of the genetic basis of these lesions as well as the utility of ancillary testing to aid in this challenging differential diagnosis.

Delayed Heart Rate Recovery and Exaggerated Blood Pressure Response during Exercise Testing in Nigerian Normotensive Diabetics

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the clinical profile of normotensive Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with exercise related exaggerated systolic blood pressure (ESBP) and delayed heart rate recovery (HRR); and explore if there is relationship between ESBP and delayed HRR in them. Materials and Methods: A total of 67 normotensive T2DM subjects underwent symptom limited maximal treadmill exercise using Bruce protocol. ESBP was defined as a peak exercise systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥210 mmHg in men and ≥190 mmHg in women. HRR was defined as the difference in HR from peak exercise to 1 min in recovery; delayed HRR was defined as ≤12 beats/min. Parameters of 36 subjects with ESBP were then compared with those of 31 subjects without ESBP. Original Research Article Ajayi et al.; CA, 5(1): 1-7, 2016; Article no.CA. 23911 2 Results: There were 36 (53.7%) of the subjects with ESBP. Subjects with ESBP response had higher BMI, 2-hours post-prandial plasma glucose, resting SBP and DBP. Of those with ESBP, 41.7% were males and 58.3% were females (X=8.75, P=0.003). HRR was lower in subjects with ESBP compared with those without (23.00 ± 12.18 vs 38.55±22.69 beats/minute; P =0.001). The presence of abnormal HRR was 30.6% in subjects with ESBP response compared with 9.7% in subjects without (X= 4.39, P = 0.036). Conclusion: ESBP response to exercise is present in more than half of normotensive diabetics and about a third of those patients with ESBP have delayed HRR. Imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, probably heightened sympathetic nervous system, may be responsible for these pathologies.
Evidence Of Electric-Field Induced Magnetic Phase Transition In Graphene Nano-Fragments

Employing the Pariser-Parr-Pople model Hamiltonian, we predict theoretically that the ferromagnetic ground state of graphene nano-fragments can undergo phase transition to a non-magnetic state on the application of an external electric field. Our results indicate that the energy gaps for up and down spins are degenerate in the absence of electric field. However, this degeneracy is lifted under the influence of an external electric field. This selective tuning of the different magnetic states as well as their energy gaps in graphene nano-fragments by an externally applied electric field can be efficiently exploited in designing nano-scale spin polarized field effect transistors. Keywords—graphene nano-fragments; electric field; phase transition. __________________________________________________*****_________________________________________________
ASSOCIATION OF AGE AND GENDER WITH DEVELOPMENT OF LIVER CIRRHOSIS AMONG HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTED INDIVIDUALS IN SUDAN

The progress of liver cirrhosis among HBV patients can be affected by the viral load, immunity of the patient and environmental factors. This study aimed to associate age and gender as factor for development of liver cirrhosis in HBV patients. Information of gender, age and liver cirrhosis were collected from ninety HBV patients in different clinical status through instructed interview questionnaire, and sera from the participants were collected and tested for HBV viral load and liver enzymes alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST). Liver cirrhosis was significantly associated with male gender (P= 0.034), older age (P= 0.000) and aging in both of males (P=0.007) and females (P=0.001). HBV infection and liver cirrhosis are significantly most frequent in males than females with significant increase among females older than 45 years old. The serum levels of HBV viral load was elevated among male and female with older age and liver cirrhosis. AST and ALT are elevated in males and younger age group.
Investigate the Relationship between Organizational Justice and Personality Characteristics with Counterproductive Work Behavior.J. Life Sci. Biomed. 3(4 ): 268-272

This study attempts to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational justice (distributive, procedural, informational and interpersonal) and personality characteristics (conscientiousness and agreeableness) with counterproductive work behavior (CWB). The statistical population comprised of all personnel of Isfahan Power Distribution Company. The sample included 121 people, selected randomly by clustral sampling manner and response to the Colquitt’s organizational justice questionnaire, NEO personality questionnaire and Bennet and Robinsonʼs counterproductive work behaviour scale. Results indicated that there is a negative significant relationship between four facets of organizational justice and two dimensions of personality characteristics with organizational oriented CWB and interpersonal oriented CWB. Regression analysis showed that predictive variables were able to predict 34% of organizational oriented CWB and 32% of interpersonal oriented CWB and informational justice was the best predictor of two dimension of counterproductive work behaviour. The results indicated that the manners that increase personnel’s perceived justice and respect to the personality characteristic in personnel selection have an important role in decrease of counterproductive work behaviour.
The Role of Telecommunications Services in Regional Economic Growth: Evidence from ECOWAS Zone

This study aims to investigate the effects of telecommunication infrastructure on economic growth in ECOWAS countries. The analysis in this article focuses on the effects of telecommunications infrastructure in terms of demand, supply and effects on per capita income. From the point of view of empirical strategy, the triple least square (3SLS) technique is used. This technique provides coefficients for all structural equations and endogeneity bias. The results show that the increase in telecommunications infrastructure raises operators' revenues and therefore their earnings. Thus, the results show the positive effect of the expansion of both mobile and fixed telephone infrastructure on per capita income. As for implications, it will be necessary to strengthen the role of regulatory authorities both in their ability to ensure competition in the sector and in the promotion of infrastructure to bring countries closer to achieving the objective of universal services.
Gender role in market supply of potato in Eastern Hararghe Zone, Ethiopia

Potato is an important vegetable that is produced for food security and income generation. Both men and women households are the major actors in potato production and marketing. However, there are different factors that affect the households' production and supply. In this regard, various research results have identified major causes that hinder sufficient production and marketing. But the results do not reveal the gender difference among households in the production and marketing. The analysis of this study is based on a survey of 400 household heads from three randomly selected districts of Eastern Hararghe zone. Descriptive statistics and linear regression model with Ordinary Least Square were used to analyze determinates of supply. Result of the descriptive statistics showed that there are differences between households in terms of age, dependency ratio, access to market information and quantity produced. The estimate of OLS result reveals that, the amount of potato produced, livestock holding and farming experience are some of the significant variables that affect the households’ level of potato supply positively and negatively at different probability levels. Hence, identifying the various factors in the production and supply of potato will help the households in maximizing their benefit and improve their capacity.
