The Relationship of Persionality Traits and Enterepreneurial Commitment among Agropreneurs in Pasar Tani L’ORGANISME DE COMMERCIALISATION FÉDÉRAL D'AGRICULTURE: LES RELATIONS DES TRAITS DE PERSONNALITÉ ET DE L'ENGAGEMENT ENTREPRENANT PARMI AGROPRENEURS DANS PASAR TANI

Pasar Tani also known as a farmers market is a platform for farmers to sell their product direct to the customer without the middleman. The concept of agropreneur becomes useful approach to the farmers in a Pasar Tani to develop their personality traits toward entrepreneurial commitment in a sector of agriculture. Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (FAMA) is an agency under Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry which is responsibility to implement the program related the development of agro marketing and agropreneurs. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial commitment among agropreneurs in Pasar Tani, Terengganu. There are 664 agropreneurs have been registered under FAMA and involved as hawkers in Pasar Tani, Terengganu. Meanwhile, there are only 248 set of questionnaire was disseminated to the agropreneurs in Pasar Tani Terengganu. In order to determine the significance level of the relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial commitment, a multiple regression analysis was conducted. The results indicate that R-square value is 0.333 which means that 33.3 percent of the variance in entrepreneurial commitment can be predicted from the factors of personality traits. Furthermore, results of the partial correlation indicate that agropreneurs in a Pasar Tani need more government assisting in order to increase their association of personality traits toward the commitment in entrepreneurship. Lastly, the finding of this study becomes important implications for the FAMA, Terengganu to clarify the personality traits and entrepreneurial commitment in designing entrepreneurial development program in a sector of agriculture.
Association of anesthetic toxic isoflurane gases of the indoor air of operating room, Ahvaz, Iran during 2016

Abstract Operating rooms (ORs) in hospital wards are very important because of special conditions of patients. The hazards of contact with low concentrations of anesthetic gases (AG) are undeniable. Nowadays AG isoflurane is one of the important pollutants which is in the air of ORs and used in anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of anesthetic toxic isoflurane gases of the indoor air of Razi, Golestan and Emam educational hospitals ORs, using active sampling system during 2016. In this study, in order to sampling and detection of isoflurane concentration (ppm), a portable pump (SKC pump) and tubes (Sorbent Tube Tenax TA 250 mg) were utilized. The sampling was done in three different points of the ORs. According to this study, the “Razi” and “Emam” hospitals had the highest and the lowest isoflurane concentrations. According to the results of this study, isoflurane concentrations in three main educational hospital ORs affiliated to the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of medical sciences were 2.342, 2.15 and 2.04 ppm, respectively. According to this study, the average concentration of isoflurane in three main educational hospitals was more than recommended scales by international organizations (2 ppm) and it sounds that exposure to this amount of gas would be the cause of health disorders for staff. The results showed that the mean of isoflurane concentration in different parts of ORs with standard ventilation system was significantly lower than those ORs in which they did not have standard ventilation. While environmental health management and AG contamination in ORs have been ignored, they can cause disorders in ORs’ staffs and causing more spiritual and material costs.
Comparing Nursing Student Competence in CPR before and after a Pedagogical Intervention

Nursing students must be able to initiate and perform effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when they start their career in nursing. Studies show that students' competency in CPR is deficient, indicating that better training is necessary during nursing education. This study reports on the differences in nursing students' competence in CPR before and after a longitudinal pedagogical intervention across the curriculum. Changes in the curriculum were relocation and added testing of CPR skills, inclusion of a course in defibrillation, a knowledge test as stimuli before simulation, and more simulation practice with deteriorating patients. This was a comparative study between two cohorts of students in the bachelor in nursing education. We measured knowledge and compression performance in the students' final year of education. Students in cohort 2, who received the pedagogical intervention, had a significant higher total knowledge score than students in cohort 1. Students' mean depth and number of correct compressions was similar. Students in cohort 2 had a significantly higher mean rate of compressions, number of compressions per minute, and mean number of compressions with incorrect hand positions. Although the new curriculum afforded more hands-on practice of CPR, it was not enough to improve the students' performance to match the demands set out in national and international guidelines.
Mathematical Model for the Effect of Ghrelinon basal,GNRH Induced FSH and LH Secretion in Normal Women by using four Variate Weibull Distribution

In this paper, we introduce probability density function of four variate Weibull distributions. A multivariate survival function of Weibull Distribution is used for four variables. From the survival function, the probability density function and cumulative probability function are derived. Ghrelin may affect reproductive function in animals and humans.In the application part the experimental conditions of an acute injection of ghrelin (1g/kg) to normal women, basal and GnRH-induced LH and FSH secretion were not affected and suggested that ghrelin does not play a major physiological role in gonadotrophin secretion in women.In the mathematical part, we have found that the Survival function of the curveis suddenly decreased in Mid-luteal phase compare with other phases. Pdf of the curve is suppressed in late follicular phase and it will be increased at the time of7min.Pdf for early follicular phase of control cycleis increased from 4 min . Also Pdf curve for early follicular phase with ghrelin administration and mid-luteal phase with ghrelin and GnRH are also increased at the time of 5 and 3 minutes respectively.

Determinants of the Likelihood to Pay Dividends: Evidence from Saudi Arabia

The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of the likelihood to pay dividends of firms listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (SSE). The analysis is based on panel data techniques covering the period from 2005 to 2011 with 483 firm-year observations. The study develops ten testable research hypotheses and uses the generalto-specific modelling approach to choose between the rival hypotheses. We estimate the determinants for a given firm to pay dividends to its shareholders through the binary response model, namely Logit regression. The results show that larger, profitable and mature firms are more likely to pay dividends while firms with high leverage and business risk are less likely to pay dividends in the Saudi context. The results also reveal that ownership structure, growth opportunities and asset tangibility are not statistically significant determinants of corporate dividend decisions in Saudi Arabia. These results are generally consistent with the agency costs and the transaction costs hypotheses. The evidence also lends some support for the signalling and the pecking order arguments.

A STUDY ON ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE: DEVELOPER’S PERSPECTIVE

The housing property sector is among those industries exposed to many predictable and unpredictable risks that may have a great impact on the performance of the organization. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has been identified as an organized and systematic way of managing risk throughout an organization and recent research results have shown ERM implementation has positive significance on the companies’ financial and non-financial performance. However, little research has been done to measure the performance of ERM studies, especially in Malaysia which has made potential users reluctant to use ERM. This paper presents a critical review of the Enterprise Risk Management in the construction industry, with a special focus on the performance of the organization in Malaysian housing property sector. The strengths and weakness of the existing structures are investigated and it suggests a firm groundwork for an in-depth future study to gain detail insights on how ERM actually works in practise in Malaysian organizations to provide a better basis for decisionmaking at strategic level, tactical and operational levels of potential risk profiles.
Intersection of Maternal Age and Parity with Pregnancy Outcomes in a Rural Health Centre in Nigeria: Implications for Training and Practice of Family Physicians

Background: The impact of biological factors on pregnancy outcomes is equivocal. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the effect of maternal age and parity on obstetric and perinatal outcomes in Nigeria. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, observational study of pregnant women at the Comprehensive Health Centre, Aluu in southern Nigeria. The WHO classifying form of the new Original Research Article Andrew et al.; BJMMR, 12(5): 1-9, 2016; Article no.BJMMR. 21649 2 antenatal care model was used in enrolling pregnant women registering for ante natal care at the study centre. Data were entered and analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences version 16.0. Association between the variables was determined using chi-square test with statistical significance set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: Out of 410 pregnant women involved in the study, 379 (92.4%) completed it. Considering maternal age and obstetric outcomes, statistically significant association was observed between maternal age and delivery gestational age (p= 0.019), mode of delivery (p=0.02) and birth weight (p=0.047). There were 146 (38.5%) primips and 21(5.5%) grandmultips. Statistical significance was observed in the association of parity and birth weight (p=0.02) and foetal outcome (p=0.03) with a high incidence of low birth weight among primips (n=17; 11.6%) and higher perinatal mortality among grand multips (n=3; 14.3%). There was no maternal mortality. Teenage pregnancy encountered zero operative deliveries. Conclusion: Maternal age is associated with preterm deliveries, low birth weight babies and operative delivery. Parity is associated with birth weight and foetal outcome. There was no maternal mortality and teenage pregnancy encountered zero operative deliveries.
White-Water Ahead

One of the challenges in establishing priorities for research investment is ambition and scope. At a time when research dollars are scarce, the wise advice provided by our respondents will increase value for our investment. Indeed, there is consensus that the learning health system is our most ambitious goal, and it cannot be achieved by the research community alone. We fully agree with Roy (2016), Power (2016), Reid (2016), and Zelmer (2016) that a key requirement for a paradigm shift will be the establishment of successful stakeholder partnerships – with policy makers, managers, patients and clinical champions. Ideally, as Roy suggests, this coalition of sector leadership will rally around a common vision such as the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Triple Aim – better population health, patient experience, and value for money (IHI 2016). Fortunately, the Institute of Health Services and Policy Research and the research community have had some success in stakeholder engagement through workshops and funding opportunities that foster health system and private sector partnerships. The evaluation of the longstanding “Partnerships for Health System Improvement” and “Evidence on Tap” funding programs (CIHR 2009; McLain and Tucker 2013) were considered a great success by stakeholders. The more recent eHealth Innovation Partnership Program was able to spawn partnerships among health delivery organizations, clinical, patient, and policy champions, researchers, and the private sector. The Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR) steps up the level of engagement to an entirely unprecedented scale – with CIHR partnering with healthcare system policy makers to change the paradigm for how research relates and is used as the R&D shop for healthcare. Within this context, we believe we should invest in people. Why? Because it is people who lead transformative change, foster innovation, and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of White Water Ahead
Improving Seed Germination and Seedling traits by presowing treatments in khirni (Manilkara hexandra)

Khirni or Rayan is an important underutilized fruit crop of tropical deciduous forests of Indian subcontinent. Khirni is also known to be the most suitable and widely used rootstock for sapota. The edible fruits are small, oval, sweet and nutritionally rich. Poor germination due to hard seed coat and continuously increasing pressure on the natural wild population is gradually eroding its genetic variability. Thus, the present study was undertaken to develop an optimal treatment for improving the germination and seedling characteristics of khirni. The treatments applied were soaking in distilled water, GA3 9100 and 200 ppm) , Thiourea (1 and 2%) and KNO3 (1 and 2%). Growth features of khirni seedlings were recorded at 75 and 150 days after sowing (DAS). Significant variations in growth attributes of khirni seedlings were observed. The highest germination percentage, shoot length, number of leaves, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weight, seedling vigour index I and seedling vigour index II were obtained in the seeds treated with 100 ppm GA3 while root length, stem diameter, tap root diameter, root fresh weight, root dry weight and root: shoot ratio 75DAS were higher in the seeds treated with 200 ppm GA3. Seeds treated with 1% thiourea had higher root: shoot ratio 150DAS. The findings suggest that treatment of seeds with 200 ppm GA3 showed efficacy in improving seed germination, growth characteristics and vigour of khirni seedlings.

Biological Control of Fusarium wilt of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) by Trichoderma spp. as Antagonist Fungi

Fusarium spp. (F. solani and F. oxysporum) are the important soil-borne pathogens and infects wide variety of hosts. The effects of Trichoderma harzianum, T. asperellum, and T. virens on the wilt disease complex of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and Rhizoctonia solani were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Tomato cultivar inoculated with F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and R. solani, showed greater wilt incidence, chlorosis of leaves and induced vascular discoloration in roots. Soil administration with biocontrol agents adjusted the severity of wilt in roots, substantially (P<0.01). The disease control was highest with a combination of T. harzianum, T. asperellum, and T. virens (80-87%) followed by binary combination of Trichoderma. spp. (79%-82%), while the lowest control was done with T. viride (65%). It is concluded that T. harzianum, T. asperellum and T. viride could control pathogen attacks in tomato and it can be considered as an applicable strategy in control measures against pathogens.
Assertiveness among Undergraduate Students of the University

Assertiveness is a mode of personal behavior and communication characterized by a willingness to stand up for one’s needs and interests in an open and direct way. When an individual stands for his/her rights without violating the rights of others, he/she is being assertive (Smith 1975). When you adopt assertive behaviour you get more of what you want, but only when you acknowledge and give consideration to what the other person wants or needs. It’s the paradox of win-win that makes it possible (Conrad & Suzzane Potts). The present study is an attempt by the researcher to examine the assertiveness level of undergraduate students with reference to their gender, residence and stream of study. The sample of the present study is comprised of 100 undergraduate students (50 males and 50 females) within the age group between 16 to 22 years and has been the students of following courses; Bachelor of Arts, Science and Commerce. The Rathus Assertiveness Schedule (1978) was used to study the level of assertiveness among the selected students. The results of the study revealed no significant difference between students in their level of assertiveness with respect to gender, 1 Research Scholar, Department of Psychology, Doctor Harisingh Gour University, Sagar, M.
