COMPARATIVE EFFECT OF ETHANOL LEAF-EXTRACTS OF FICUS CAPENSIS AND MORINGA OLEIFERA ON SOME HAEMATOLOGICAL INDICES IN NORMAL ALBINO RATS

: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of ethanol leaf-extracts of Ficus capensis and Moringa oleifera on some haematological indices in normal albino rats. Forty albino rats were randomly assigned to four experimental groups A, B, C and D. Group A with 5 rats received water and feed only and served as the positive control. Group B with five rats received feed, water and astyfer (multivitamin) and served as standard control. Groups C and D were sub divided into 3 groups designated as C1, C2, C3, D1, D2 and D3 with 5 rats each. The two sub-groups were administered twice daily of the ethanol leaf-extracts of Ficus capensis and Moringa oleifera at the doses of 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg. Haematological indices were determined by standard methods. The result of the study showed a significant (P<0.05) increase in the mean body weight of the albino rats in groups that received the extracts and multivitamin. The result also revealed a significant (P <0.05) increments in the levels of haemoglobin(Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell counts in the groups administered with ethanol leaf-extracts of Ficus capensis and Moringa oleifera relative to positive control. A significant (p<0.05) increase in PCV and Hb levels in albino rats administered ethanol leaf-extract of Moringa oleifera in a dose dependent manner relative to groups administered ethanol leaf extract of Ficus capensis except in WBC and RBC where a significant (p<0.05) increase was recorded in those groups administered Ficus capensis ethanol leaf extract relative to groups administered Moringa oleifera extract. Generally there was no significant (p<0.05) effect on the haematological indices in rats administered ethanol leaf extract of Ficus capensis relative to rats administered Moringa oleifera extract. This confirms the use of Ficus capensis and Moringa oleifera in ethno-medicine to boast blood for anaemic patient and pregnant women.
Comparison the analgesic effects of lidocaine, xylazine and their combination used into the epidural space in rabbits.

Objective- Addition of the drugs to lidocaine to induce epidural analgesia in order to elongate and enhance the analgesia has been investigated previously. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of epidurally administered xylazine either in combination of lidocaine or alone in rabbits. Design- Experimental study Animals- Twelve healthy and adult male New Zealand white strain rabbits weighting 2.2±0.3 kg were used in this study. Procedures - Following the epidural catheterization of all rabbits under general anesthesia they were randomly assigned to three equal groups of A, B and C. The next day administration of 4 mg/kg of 2% lidocaine, 3 mg/kg of 2% xylazine and 2 mg/kg of 2% lidocaine-1.5 mg/kg of 2% xylazine mixture was performed in group A, B and C respectively through the epidural catheter. The motor activity, the onset time of blockade, the duration of blockade, heart rate, respiratory rate and rectal temperature were recorded prior and during analgesia. Results- Values were not significantly different among the three groups (P>0.05) and no complication occurred during a week after induction of epidural analgesia. Either of the alone drugs or their combination is safe to be used into the epidural space in rabbits. Conclusions and Clinical Relevance- By considering the reduced dose of xylazine, the combination of xylazine and lidocaine seems superior to induce epidural analgesia in rabbits.
A Review on Unit Sixing , Optimization and Energy Management

It has become imperative for the power and energy engineers to look out for the renewable energy sources such as sun, wind, geothermal, ocean and biomass as sustainable, cost-effective and environment friendly alternatives for conventional energy sources. However, the non-availability of these renewable energy resources all the time throughout the year has led to research in the area of hybrid renewable energy systems. In the past few years, a lot of research has taken place in the design, optimization, operation and control of the renewable hybrid energy systems. It is indeed evident that this area is still emerging and vast in scope. The main aim of this paper is to review the research on the unit sizing, optimization, energy management and modeling of the hybrid renewable energy system components. Developments in research on modeling of hybrid energy resources (PV systems), ba energy systems (Fuel Cell, Battery, Ultra Diesel Generator), power conditioning units (MPPT converters, Buck/Boost converters, Battery chargers) and techniques for energy flow management have been discussed in detail. In this paper, an atte been made to present a comprehensive review of the research in this area in the past one decade.

Article History: Received 2, January, 2015 Received in revised form 10, January, 2015 Accepted 4, February, 2015 Published online 28, February, 2015 The effect of probiotics on growth performance and biochemical activity of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei was investigated. Lactobacillus sp. was added to shrimp basal diets as probiotics at three concentrations: 5%, 10% and 15% probiotic bacteria was added to basal diet Twelve aquaria with three replicates for each parameter and the Control group were used. After three weeks, shrimp receiving the diets supplemented with probiotics showed significantly better growth performance than those fed the basal diet (Control). The significant (p<0.01) increase in glucose levels were observed in 5% and 10% and 15% groups. Significant difference in triglyceride levels were not observed between control, 5% and 10% probitic treated groups. The 15% group displayed a higher level 43.25 ± 1.71mg/dl and showed significant difference with control. Lactic acid levels were significantly (P<0.01) increased in 10% and15% treated groups. No significant difference was observed in DNA levels but RNA levels were increased in all treated shrimp and significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in 10% group. The 10% probiotic treated group showed highest protein levels and all the treated groups showed significant difference when compared to control.
AN INVESTIGATION OF METADISCOURSE MARKERS IN ENGLISH MEDICAL TEXTS AND THEIR PERSIAN TRANSLATION BASED ON HYLAND'S MODEL

This study was conducted to compare and contrast the metadiscourse markers in English medical texts and their Persian translation to investigate whether these markers function identically in English and Persian within the same genre and to find out if there are any significant differences between English medical texts and their Persian translation in terms of the number and types of metadiscourse markers. To this end, 35 English medical articles and their Persian translation, published in Sina Journal, were selected. To gather data, first, 4 consecutive paragraphs were extracted randomly from each of the selected articles and their Persian translation to collect 280 paragraphs, 140 paragraphs in English as the source text (ST) and 140 paragraphs in Persian as the target text (TT). This was followed by analyzing the frequency and types of metadiscourse markers in each text– which consisted of 4 consecutive paragraphs in ST and TT– in accordance with Hyland’s (2005) taxonomy. Next, the total number of metadiscourse items in each of the texts was determined. Finally, the KolmogorovSmirnov test (KS-test) was used to report normally distributed data and the paired t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were applied to compare the values of means of metadiscourse markers in English medical texts and their equivalent Persian translation and to study whether these markers function identically in English and Persian within the same genre. The statistical results suggest that there is a significant difference in the amount and types of metadiscourse markers in English medical texts and their Persian translation (P<0.001) and the distribution of different types of metadiscourse markers in English medical texts is not the same as their distribution in their Persian translation.

Network Security using a Mobility-Aware location Cloaking Technique

: In location-based services, users with location-aware mobile devices are able to make queries about their surroundings anywhere and at any time. To protect location privacy, one typical approach is to cloak user locations into spatial regions based on user-specified privacy requirements, and to transform location-based queries into region-based queries. We shall focus on the privacy aspects of using location information in pervasive computing applications. In this paper, we identify and address three new issues concerning this location cloaking approach. First, we study the representation of cloaking regions and show that a circular region generally leads to a small result size for region-based queries. Second, we develop a mobility-aware location cloaking technique to resist trace analysis attacks. Finally, we develop an efficient polynomial algorithm for evaluating circular-region-based kNN queries.
Reactive Extraction Process in Isolation of Eugenol of Clove Essential Oil (Syzigium aromaticum) Based on Temperature and Time Process

The purpose of this study was to obtained optimum conditions a reactive extraction process in isolation eugenol from clove essential oil associated with the temperature and time process. Research stage begins by inserting a 100 ml clove essential oil and 0.8 N NaOH solution at a ratio of 1:1.1 to the reactor.

Atrazine effect on Photosynthesis of Pistria Stratiotes,L

In recent years the eradication of weeds has drawn the attention of scientists, agriculturalists and environmentalists. P. Stratiotes, L. is a highly noxious weed interface with agro – ecosystem of both coastal and inland hydroelectric projects and public health. It is understood that this weed has caused severe ecological damage and economic loss. In order to control the diversity of P.Stratiotes L, an attempt has been made in terms of chemical treatments. Different concentrations of atrazine have been applied in invitro condition enriched with NPK fertilizers for five consecutive days. The treated plants were analysed bio-chemically. The results indicate the two types of responses of atrazine in P.Stratiotes. The low concentration of atrazine ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 ppm is admissible for effective growth, whereas the higher concentrations have shown an adverse effect on the growth of P.Stratiotes, L. The impacts of different concentrations levels of atrazine in P.Stratiotes have been discussed in detail.
ANTIBIOTIC USE AND PRESCRIPTION PRACTICE IN A RURAL REFERRAL HOSPITAL IN NORTHERN TANZANIA: A SURVEY

Aim: To assess antibiotic use, prescription practice and prescriber’s knowledge of rational antibiotic use. Methods: A survey was conducted in a rural hospital in Northern Tanzania by reviewing patient notes and interviewing prescribers using a questionnaire. A total of 503 patient notes were assessed and 37 prescribers answered the questionnaire. Results: The penicillin class of antibiotics was the most (49.9%) prescribed antibiotic compared with other antibiotic groups. Registrars (MD) comprised the majority (80.8%) of the prescribers. Blood/pus cultures were performed in only 3.6% (18/503) of patients for whom antibiotics were prescribed. Approximately one-third (164/503) of the antibiotics prescribed did not match the written diagnosis. More than 75% of the prescribers were aware of the threat of antibiotic resistance, though less than one quarter were able to correctly define the term “rational antibiotic use”. Approximately 25% of bacterial growth was resistant to two or more antibiotics. Conclusion: There is a high proportion of inappropriate antibiotic prescription in this hospital. Though most prescribers were aware of the threat of antibiotic resistance, very few were able to correctly define rational antibiotic use. There is a need for regular antibiotic surveillance and education concerning the rational use of antibiotics among prescribers.

TYPES OF TRAUMATIC EVENTS, RESPONSE TO THE EVENTS AND COPING STRATEGIES AMONGST SELECTED ADULTS RESIDENT OF INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS CAMPS IN NIGERIA

The return of Nigeria to Civilian rule since 1999 has witnessed the killing of thousands of people through recurring inter-communal conflicts and politically motivated violence. The forced evictions resulting from these occurrences have caused significant population movements resulting in large waves of internal displacement. Therefore, this research was aimed at evaluating types of traumatic events, response to the events, and coping strategies amongst selected Adults. Residents of internally displaced persons’ camp in Nigeria. The researchers adopted cross-sectional research design with the sample size determined using Taro Yamane sample size Determination formula resulting in the selection of 392 respondent using multistage sampling technique. Four (4) research questions were answered while four (4) null hypotheses were tested. Results showed that 57.8% of respondents were males while 42.2% were females most of the respondents 51.4% are Muslims as against 43.2% who are Christians. The types of traumatic experienced by the respondents included evaluation from home which was experienced by 84.8%, followed by lack of food. In term of the way they responded to traumatic events, 13.4% experienced being jumpy. The coping style widely accepted positive reinterpretation and social support. These was a significant association between the employment status of respondents and destruction of properties. It was concluded that the internally displaced persons adopted mixture of problem focused and emotional focused coping strategies.
The Effect of Customer Prioritization Strategy on Customer Entitlement

It is a widely held notion that customer prioritization strategies (focusing efforts on the most valuable customers) are profitable for firms. However, such increased focus consequently results in some customers receiving comparatively disadvantaged treatment. This paper performs three experimental studies involving 516 Canadian participants in 2018 to investigate how preferential treatment resulting from customer prioritization (CP) strategies relates to customer entitlement and subsequent customer retaliatory intentions. Results show that customers with strong brand relationships feel entitled if they have received disadvantaged treatment under a customer prioritization strategy. Such feelings translate into increased demands on the firm, culminating in an increased likelihood of retaliatory actions. Moreover, feelings of entitlement are exacerbated if these customers were invited to provide feedback in the creation of the CP strategy. For managers, findings indicate that customer entitlement increases for non-prioritized customers, and customer voice positively exacerbates the link between the strength of the customer brand relationship and customer entitlement. Thus, the reaction of nonvaluable customers must be measured in the development of CP strategies while encouraging customer participation in CP development may be inadvisable.
nine cases and review of the literature

Endobronchial presentation of Hodkgin's disease: a report of nine cases and review of the literature. J. Trédaniel, I. Peillon, C. Fermé, P. Brice, C. Gisselbrecht, A. Hirsch.  ERS Journals Ltd 1994. ABSTRACT: Although mediastinal involvement by Hodgkin's disease is frequent, the initial presentation of the lymphoma by an endobronchial lesion is rare. Therefore, the question of whether patients with Hodgkin's disease should undergo fibreoptic bronchoscopy as a staging procedure remains unresolved. In a series of 469 patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin's disease during a 10 year period, we reviewed the clinical features of nine patients who presented with an endobronchial tumour. They were compared to 34 previously published cases. The major presenting symptoms were cough, wheezing and haemoptysis. Bulky mediastinum was seen in six cases. The three other patients presented respiratory symptoms evocative of endoluminal invasion. All but one of the patients received combined modality therapy, as currently accepted for patients with poor prognostic factors. The overall actuarial survival was 74% after 4 yrs of follow-up. A selective subgroup of patients with stage I-II supradiaphragmatic and endobronchial Hodgkin's disease may, thus, present without poor prognostic factors (but generally with respiratory symptoms), and might be undertreated if this localization is not recognized. We propose that these patients should undergo fibreoptic bronchoscopy.

EVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT OF FERULAGO ANGULATA ESSENTIAL OIL AND NISIN ON STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS GROWTH IN IRANIAN WHITE CHEESE PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION TREND

Today due to harmful effects of chemical and synthetic preservations, consumers tendency to use natural compounds that have earned from plants, animals and microorganisms for increasing shelf life of food and their protection from dangers of chemical additives. This study was done for consideration of effect of Ferulago angulata essential oil and Nisin on growth of Staphylococcus aureus in processing stages of Iranian white cheese. Ferulago angulata plant was collected from Dalahoo Mountains in Kermanshah province. Extraction of the essential oil was carried out by Clevenger apparatus and its compounds was identified by GC/MS. Antibacterial effect of this plant was tested in concentrations of 0.0075%, 0.015% and 0.03% alone and also with 0.5% Nisin in these concentrations and 0.5% Nisin alone. Analysis of data was performed by SPSS. Chemical analysis of essence caused identification of sixty compounds with total of 96.84% that maximum substance was CisOcimene. All of concentrations of essential oil significantly had decreased growth of S. aureus (p< 0.05). But Nisin not only not decreased number of bacteria but also from fifteenth day increased S. aureus as logarithmic and decreased efficacy of essential oil in concentrations of 0.0075% and 0.015% but in concentration of 0.03% essential oil and 0.5%Nisin Staphylococcus aureus count decreased 2 logs. According to earned results, we can say that essential oil of F.angulata in all of concentrations has anti S.aureus effect and decreased number of bacteria in samples within essential oil relative to control sample. But in samples within Nisin, best result was observed for 0.03% Moein Bashiry* et al. International Journal of Pharmacy & Technology IJPT| Sep-2016 | Vol. 8 | Issue No.3 | 17927-17941 Page 17928 essential oil and 0.5% Nisin that decreased number of bacteria to forty fifth days. In panel test, all of concentrations were accepted by panelists.
A Discourse on the Ecological Modernization Approach to Environmental Education: The Case of Eastern Mediterranean University

The aim of this paper is to explore the role of educational institutions (i.e., at the university level) in the dissemination of environmental awareness, among the students, as a catalyst to future environmental convictions (i.e., environmental stewardship, natural resource management, public policy, and the awareness of the environment’s intrinsic values). This study’s theoretical grounding is ecological modernization theory and the theory of planned behavior. A survey was administered to students at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), in North Cyprus, to assess the scope of environmentally related education (i.e., modules, workshops, seminars, field trips, etc.) as well as the students’ general knowledge of environmental issues. The study revealed that EMU’s environmentally focused education is not adequate and that students’ environmental awareness is minimal.
