Phytochemical analysis and biological activities of three wild Mesembryanthemum species growing in heterogeneous habitats

The objective of this study was to analyze the phytochemicals and to determine the antioxidant, antibacterial and allelopathic potential of three wild Mesembryanthemum species (M. crystallinum L., M. forsskaolii Hochst. Ex Boiss and M. nodiflorum L.). The phytochemical composition of the methanolic extract of studied species revealed the considerable quantities that might be responsible for their powerful antioxidant activity. The IC50 values were 386.51, 592.97, and 752. 23µg/ml for M. nodiflorum, M. crystallinum and M. forsskaolii extracts respectively. The antibacterial activity index was calculated for each extract in comparison with the standard antibiotics. M. nodiflorum showed higher potency than ampicillin and penicillin G against against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. The allelopathic potential showed that the studied Mesembryanthemum species expressed a significant phytotoxic activity against Chenopodium murale weed in a dose dependent manner. M. nodiflorum sample showed the most phytotoxic effect among the studied species.

Intellectual Capital and Productivity: Predicting the Banking Profitability in Indonesia

This study was aimed at analyzing the effect of Intellectual Capital on the profitability and productivity of a Banking Company registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2018. Purposive sampling was used to obtain a sample of 30 banking companies from 2016 to 2018. The empirical data was analyzed using the PLS method, outer test, and inner test models. The results showed that Intellectual Capital positively influences profitability and productivity. However, Value Added Human Capital (VAHU) and Structural Capital Value Added (STVA) have no significant positive effect on productivity. Also, the results show that Value Added Capital Employed (VACA) has a positive and significant impact on productivity.
A study of the prevalence of hyperuricemia as well as its association with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in three hundred patients at a tertiary care centre in North-East India

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition defined by excessive fat accumulation in the form of triglycerides (steatosis) in the liver. In recent years, an association between elevated serum uric acid concentrations and NAFLD has been reported. Thus, we intended to perform this cross-sectional study to establish the prevalence of hyperuricemia in NAFLD patients and its association with NAFLD in 300 patients at a tertiary care centre in North-East India.Methods: In this hospital based cross-sectional study, 300 patients presenting in Assam medical college and hospital (AMCH) with diagnosed NAFLD were included during the one year period from July 2015 to June 2016.Results: Hyperuricemia was observed in 99 cases out of a total of 300 cases of NAFLD (33%), and a statistically significant association was observed between the two parameters.Conclusions: The prevalence rate of NAFLD was significantly higher in subjects with hyperuricemia than that in those without hyperuricemia (78.19% versus 40.83%) (p<0.001), and the prevalence rate increased with progressively higher serum uric acid levels (p<0.001).
IMPACT OF OPPORTUNITY ON FRAUD IN QUOTED DEPOSIT MONEY BANKS IN NIGERIA BY FASUA,

The Nigerian banking sector had witnessed collapse due to either mismanagement by the top executive or line managers or a deliberate fraudulent behavior by altering or manipulating accounting numbers by the managers in order to benefit themselves privately. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of Opportunity as a fraud risk factor on the fraudulent activity in Quoted Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria. Nature of Industry, Ineffective Monitoring and Organizational Structure are used as proxies for Opportunity in the Quoted Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all the 14 Quoted Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria as at December, 2015. Censors sampling technique was adopted. Multiple regression technique of data analysis was employed, using longitudinal balanced panel data. The findings of the study reveals that, all the variables used in this study significantly and statistically influence fraud in Quoted Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the study recommends amongst others that, the management of Quoted Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria and the regulators such as Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation and Security and Exchange Commission should ensure optimal representation of independent members on the Boards of Quoted Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria as it constraints fraud. Also, the office of the Chief Executive Officer and that of the Chairman of the Board should be separate.
VESTIBULAR SYMPTOMS AFTER COCHLEAR IMPLANTATION: CLINICAL OVERVIEW AFTER A 2-YEAR FOLLOW-UP

Background: Vestibular symptoms and balance disorders are still common complaints reported by the patients after cochlear implantation (CI). Much research has been devoted to assess dizzy patients after cochlear implantation using both self-prepared questionnaires as well as validated life-quality scales. From this work, various approaches to classifying symptoms according to their onset and duration have been recommended. Material and methods: We studied 101 patients after round window approach (RWA) cochlear implantation giving them a self-prepared questionnaire asking them to list their major vestibular complaints formulated according to the consensus document of the Barany Society Committee for the classification of vestibular disorders. Those with persistent symptoms (both postoperatively and existing preoperatively) also filled in a DHI questionnaire. Additionally, cVEMP, oVEMP, caloric, and vHIT tests were performed before and after the CI procedure. Results: The 101 patients were divided into four groups: with early symptoms (n = 25), with late symptoms (n = 2), with preoperative symptoms (n = 13), and with no symptoms (n = 61). Among the patients with early symptoms, 15 reported spontaneous vertigo attack, 6 only unsteadiness and/or lateropulsion, and 4 had other symptoms such as orthostatic vertigo, positional vertigo, visual tilt, and head-motion vertigo. Conclusions: Close to 40% of the CI recipients suffered from vestibular complaints, either in the postoperative period or from already existing preoperative symptoms. The vast majority of postoperative complaints were transient and only rare cases (with preexisting inner ear pathologies and/or comorbidities) evolved into persistent dysfunction.
Sediments Quality based on Geo-Accumulation Index in Heavy Metals (Pb, Cu, and Cd) of Cengkok Coastal Waters, Banten Bay

This area, which is located near the Banten Bay, is quite active with anthropogenic activities such as industry, fisheries, settlements, and shipyards that have the potential to pollute the environment with heavy metals. This study aims to determine the chemical environmental conditions of the waters and the concentration of heavy metals in the sediments of Banten Bay. Sediment samples were taken at five stations consisting of river and bay sections in April, May, July, August, and September 2019. Heavy metal content in sediments was analyzed according to APHA 2012 using hydrochloric acid and nitric acid destruction methods. The results of heavy metal concentrations in sediments were compared with ANZECC 2000 regulations and sediment quality was determined using the Geo-accumulation Index. The sediment at the observation site is dominated by the silt fraction. The concentration of heavy metals in this study was obtained in the form of lead (Pb) ranging from <0.05 to 6.408 mg / Kg, copper (Cu) ranging from 0.059 to 8.791 mg / Kg, and cadmium (Cd) ranging from 0.042 to 0.605 mg / K. While based on The level of heavy metal contamination in sediments using the Geo-accumulation index (I Geo), the value of all metal types in each month has a value <0.000 at all observation stations. Thus it is concluded that the concentration of heavy metals in the sediment is lower than the threshold determined during the observation. So that the metal concentration weight in the sediment has no significant effect on the environment.
Prevalence of thyroid disorders among pregnant women at a tertiary care hospital in Rajasthan

Background: Hormonal changes and metabolic demands during pregnancy result in profound alterations in the biochemical parameters of thyroid function. Screening for thyroid disorders and initiation of its management at the earliest stage during first trimester is essential as maternal thyroid failure during the first half of pregnancy has been associated with several pregnancy complications and intellectual impairment in offspring. Aim was to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction during the first and second trimester of pregnancy among women of Rajasthan state in India.Methods: The study comprised a cohort of 313 consecutive pregnant women in the first and second trimester that attended the OPD and were admitted as pregnant women in Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the NIMS Medical College and Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and free T4 (fT4) were estimated. The subjects were grouped into six groups based on the value of serum TSH and fT4.Results: Out of 313 antenatal women enrolled in the study, 213 (68%) attended antenatal clinic in first trimester of pregnancy and 100 (32%) women in their second trimester. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 15.97% (overt hypothyroidism 1.28%, subclinical hypothyroidism 4.79%, isolated hypothyroxinemia 4.47%, overt hyperthyroidism 1.92%, and subclinical hyperthyroidism 3.51%). The women with overt hypo- or hyperthyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism were older than euthyroid women. Maternal weight was high in pregnant women with overt hypothyroidism (58.22±6.18 kg) and subclinical hypothyroidism (52.04±2.94 kg). Gravid status was high in pregnant women with overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism and isolated hypothyroxinemia, but low in hyperthyroid group. History of miscarriage was high in pregnant women with subclinical hypothyroidism.Conclusions: With this study, it was concluded that there is high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy predominantly in rural population of Rajasthan. Majority among these being subclinical hypothyroidism and hypothyroxinemia.
FACTORS AFFECTING THE INTENTION OF GENERATION Y IN MALAYSIA TO INVEST FOR RETIREMENT

Retirement planning is an essential factor in ensuring a comfortable post retirement period. This is because by sole reliance of employer provident fund (EPF) itself could not sustain desired lifestyle and increasing of living cost. This retirement planning is a cyclical multistep process that review periodically and require planning as early as possible to take advantage of compound interest. Therefore, this paper studies the role of certain behavioural trait and psychological biases in influencing the intention of Generation Y to invest for retirement. Through this study helps Generation Y and parties involved recognize the importance of early retirement preparation

Surgical perspective on radiofrequency ablation of thyroid tumors

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective, minimally invasive procedure that has been used for decades to treat various tumors in the body. More recently, RFA has been applied to the head and neck, namely the thyroid. Part of its appeal is the lack of a cervical incision, general anesthetic, or removal of the thyroid gland at all, making it an easy office procedure for ablation of benign or malignant tumors. For enlarged benign tumors causing compressive symptoms, RFA can provide a safe option without enduring potential hypothyroidism, or the downtown associated with surgical recovery. For autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN), RFA may produce modest results for improving symptoms of hyperthyroidism as well as compression, thus expanding the existing options of radioactive iodine (RAI) and anti-thyroidal medications. For the treatment of primary or recurrent thyroid cancer, surgery is the standard of care. However, not all patients are eligible for surgery and in certain instances, revision thyroid surgery for recurrent cancer can pose significant risk to the patient. Thus, the option of a minimally invasive nonsurgical technique for ablation can improve their quality of life and provide clinicians with an extra tool in their armamentarium. We review the literature of this novel procedure and the role RFA can play in treating benign tumors (nonfunctioning and functioning), primary and recurrent thyroid cancers for patients that do not wish to have surgery or are ineligible.
First case of Streptococcus pluranimalium meningitis isolated at Kibogora district hospital

Streptococcus pluranimalium has mainly been found to cause infections in animals and was rarely isolated in humans. Very few cases of streptococcus pluranimalium have been reported in the literature. We report a first case of streptococcus pluranimalium meningitis in a pediatric patient. This patient was treated successfully with a combination of 3rd generation cephalosporin and chloramphenicol since her first day of admission. Only 4 of the reported human infections caused by Streptococcus pluranimalium were pediatric cases. We didn’t find neither adult nor pediatric cases of meningitis caused by this new novel species of Streptococcus pluranimalium. Clinical doctors have to remember that a rare pathogen like Streptococcus pluranimalium isolated primarily in animals can be a causative agent of human infection. More diagnostic methods are needed to detect early what could be rare causative germs of human infection. And when streptococcus pluranimalium is isolated, the first line antibiotics will be vancomycin, carbapenems, linezolid, aminoglycosides, and 3rd generation cephalosporins.
Improved Growth and Nutritional Quality of Pangas Catfish, Pangasius hypophthalmus (Sauvage, 1878) by Enzyme Supplementation

Pangas catfish, Pangasius hypophthalmus is one of the most widely cultured fish species in Asia. The growth and flesh quality of fish depend largely on the quality and composition of feed. Inclusion of exogenous enzyme can improve the palatability and digestibility of feed. However, there is a lack of research on the use of exogenous enzymes in fish diet for improved growth and nutritional quality of fish. Thus, in the current study, the effects of enzyme inclusion in fish diet were evaluated using pangas catfish as an experimental animal. The study was conducted in a laboratory condition with a flow-through system where 12 plastic tanks with 750 L water capacity were used where the tanks were grouped randomly. Each tank was stocked with 15 fingerlings of pangas catfish. Three different concentrations (3, 4 and 5% of the total feed) of Zymex, a commercially available multi-enzyme were used for treatment groups along with a control group with no enzyme supplementation. The length-weight relationship of the experimental fish using the initial and final data was established where a significantly positive relationship was found (P<0.05). Growth performance including condition factor, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio was significantly improved by 3% enzyme supplementation (P<0.05). Average daily gain did not vary significantly between treatments. Three percent enzyme supplementation in the diet significantly increased crude protein and lipid contents and reduced moisture content (P<0.05). Significantly higher ash content was found in fish fed both 3 and 5% enzyme contained diet (P<0.05). In case of body indices, 5% enzyme supplementation provided significantly higher viscerosomatic index (P<0.05) while 3% provided significantly higher flesh yield (P<0.05). However, hepatosomatic index did not vary significantly between treatments. From the findings it is concluded that enzyme supplementation at 3% of the diet can improve the growth performance and nutritional quality of pangas catfish.
Internal Audit Function Quality and Corporate Governance: The Case of Greece

Internal audit is fundamental in maintaining transparency in the dissemination of information about a company’s financial position and performance. In this respect, the quality of internal audit is essential for effective corporate governance. We construct a composite measure of the quality of the internal audit function and explore its association with "good" corporate governance. Employing data from 45 listed companies in the Athens Stock Exchange, we discover that "good" corporate governance affects internal audit function quality, since the internal audit function is better in companies that comply with certain corporate governance guidelines. On the other hand, we find limited evidence on the effect of internal audit function quality on effective corporate governance. We also discover that internal audit’s active role in corporate governance is shaped by company-wide characteristics such as size, internationalization and CEO duality.
