Bearing of Tax Audit on Tax Compliance and Revenue Generation in Ekiti State

The paper examined the impact of tax audit on revenue generation in Ekiti State. The data used for this study was gathered using structured questionnaire administered to 312 staff of the Ekiti State Internal Revenue Service. A regression analysis technique was adopted, and the result revealed that certain per cent of the revenue generated in Ekiti State could be explained by the tax audit; It was also discovered that auditing access, auditing officials, an effective tax audit, non-compliance, audit fieldwork, tax audit control, and corruption affect the revenue generation by 1.188, 0.319, 0.596, 0.148, 0.157, 0.125 and 0.002 respectively; the probability value 0.00, 0.01, 0.00, 0.022 and 0.00 ˂ 0.05 showed that auditing access, auditing officials, effective tax audit and incentive were statistically significant at 5 per cent level; the probability of F-statistic value 0.000 ˂ 0.05 revealed that the model was appropriate for determining the impact of tax audit on revenue generation in Ekiti State. Thus, the study concluded that tax audit should be embraced as it maximizes the collection of revenue which enables the government to address developmental projects that will benefit its citizenry and also helps in strengthening the businesses of the taxpayer.
Magnetically Triggered Release of Entrapped Bioactive Proteins from Thermally Responsive Polymer-Coated Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Stem-Cell Proliferation

Nanoparticles could conceal bioactive proteins during therapeutic delivery, avoiding side effects. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) coated with a temperature-sensitive polymer were tested for protein release. We show that coated SPIONs can entrap test proteins and release them in a temperature-controlled manner in a biological system. Magnetically heating SPIONs triggered protein release at bulk solution temperatures below the polymer transition. The entrapped growth factor Wnt3a was inactive until magnetically triggered release, upon which it could increase mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. Once the polymer transition will be chemically adjusted above body temperature, this system could be used for targeted cell stimulation in model animals and humans.
Competitiveness and SMEs production sustainability through the cleaner production (case study: SMEs of fish processing unit in Pinrang Regency, Indonesia)

The challenge for the success of SMEs in Indonesia is increasing competition that demands adaptation to environmental changes. In 2018 SMEs fish processing for boneless frozen milkfish in Pinrang Regency has a production capacity of 150 tons, potentially producing solid, liquid or gas waste. The purpose of this research is to analyze the potential of SME’s fish processing waste and its utilization in supporting the sustainability of production. The study was conducted in Pinrang Regency from December 2018 to April 2019 with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data collection through field observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the potential of waste produced by 20-30 percent was used as food, feed and fertilizer products. The diversification of the main products into “fish meatballs” and “fish crackers” increases competitiveness and reduction of solid waste. Solid waste is also used to produce by-products in the form of “shredded milkfish” and “fishbone sticks”. SMEs fish processing has dynamically applied the concept of clean production in handling and utilizing waste. Waste management has reduced the impact on the SME’s fish processing environment. The implementation of clean production has increased production capacity, product diversification, guaranteed product quality, and the welfare of owners and workers. The strategy for handling and managing waste has optimized added value and supports the improvement of competitiveness and sustainability of production.
Influence of environmental factors on the numbers and activity of wintering Lapwings and Golden Plovers

Variations in the numbers and activity of Lapwings Vanellus vanellus and Golden Plovers Pluvialis apricaria using 322 ha of lowland farmland were examined in relation to temperature, rainfall, wind speed and moonphase. The study was undertaken over two winters (1987/88 and 1988/89), with maximum counts of 4000 Lapwings and 820 Golden Plovers. Patterns of occupancy of the study area and seasonal occurrence are described. Temperature and the phase of the lunar cycle seemed to be particularly important in affecting the distribution and activity of the birds. More Lapwings occurred in the study area on the colder and on the wetter days in several months, and also around the full moon period when feeding activity was particularly prevalent. A higher proportion of Lapwings tended to feed on colder days and around the new moon period, while daytime loafing increased around the full moon period. These results support the ideas that birds need to feed more in cold conditions, when energy demands are high, and that.
Information Extraction from Web as Knowledge Resources for Indonesian Question Answering System

Research in the field of Open Domain Question Answering System (OD-QAS) generally involves external knowledge which are dynamic and require high-level representation. Strong external knowledge is one of the key success of QAS. Therefore, intensive research is needed in this area. Web is one of the big source of information that can be used as external knowledge by QAS. However, the main problem is the Web contains a lot of unstructured data. Hence, a model is needed to extract information from the web. The model developed in this research based on pipeline architecture and consists three main processes: pre-processing, information extraction processing, and text processing. The input model is factoid questions, and the output are snippets or set of sentences that contains target answers. There are three search engines assist to finding relevant information from the Web, i.e, Yahoo! , Bing, and Ask. The result of average precision and deviation value for the each search engines are slightly different. The highest total number of snippets (true positive) generated by Yahoo! is 65 snippets, while the best average precision obtained by Bing is 25.33%.
Non-Puerperal Uterine Inversion with Uterine Mülleroblastoma in a Teenager: A Case Report of Loandjili General Hospital Pointe-Noire (Republic of Congo)

Introduction: Uterine inversion is a reversal of the uterus into a glove. It is an obstetric complication of deliverance. Uterine inversion out from pregnancy is rare. The Muller duct is an embryonic tubular formation which will transform into the vagina, uterus, and fallopian tubes. The mixed Mullerian malignant tumor is a rare tumor to girl and woman in genital activity, which develops in the uterus at the expense of vestige of the Muller channels. The association of these two pathologies is rare. We report an observation of complicated uterine inversion mulloblastoma to a teenager. Observation: A teenager of 15 years old, admitted for a vulvar tumor, which has occurred about two months. Student in the first class of senior high school, she has no medical history, and no particular surgery. She had her threat at the age of 13, and has a regular menstrual cycle of 30 days, with 05 days of period. Two months before her admission, the patient noticed during her menstruation, the perception of soft intravaginal tissue but which disappeared when her period stopped. A week before her admission, she felt pelvic pain with expulsive colic, radiating to the external genitals, 3 days later, a protusion from the vaginal vestibule of a mass, so the volume gradually increased. It is in front of this situation that the patient consults a health center, which refers her to us for treatment. On admission, the patient was conscious with a good hemodynamic state. Vulva inspection revealed a large, rounded mass with an endovaginal implantation, with necrosis areas. This mass was resistant, bleeding in any manipulation, mobile, perceive neither the cervical relief nor the presence of the uterus. The ultrasound assessment had marked: a large abdomino-pelvic pseudo-mass with urinary repercussions right form of hydronephrosis uretero and associated with gastric distension, and MRI complete inversion of the uterus, with the uterine in the vaginal cavity associated with a large vulvovaginal mass. An apathetic examination of the specimen had made it possible to diagnose a botryoid sarcoma that affects the cervix and uterine body (Mullerian tumor). Laparotomy had revealed uterine inversion. This required a total hysterectomy with appendectectomy had been performed. Then the patient was transferred to the cancer service for treatment where in the seventh day, she died in the surgery post.
Interfacing models of wildlife habitat and human development to predict the future distribution of puma habitat

The impact of human land uses on ecological systems typically differ relative to how extensively natural conditions are modified. Exurban development is intermediate-intensity residential development that often occurs in natural landscapes. Most species-habitat models do not evaluate the effects of such intermediate levels of human development and even fewer predict how future development patterns might affect the amount and configuration of habitat. We addressed these deficiencies by interfacing a habitat model with a spatially-explicit housing-density model to study the effect of human land uses on the habitat of pumas (Puma concolor) in southern California. We studied the response of pumas to natural and anthropogenic features within their home ranges and how mortality risk varied across a gradient of human development. We also used our housing-density model to estimate past and future housing densities and model the distribution of puma habitat in 1970, 2000, and 2030. The natural landscape for pumas .
Effect of ocean acidification and temperature on growth, survival, and shell performance of fluted giant clams (Tridacna squamosa)

This study aims to determine the effect of ocean acidification and temperature on growth, survival, and shell performance of fluted giant clam (Tridacna squamosa). Juvenile fluted giant clam put into an aquarium which is given a combination of CO2 pressure treatment (415, 1000 and 1800 ppm) and temperature (30, 32, and 34°C). Measuring the length, width and height of the shell perform in every two weeks for five times. CaCO3 content and shell strength was test at the end of the study. The best growth of shell length, shell width, and shell height in the treatment of CO2 concentrations of 415 ppm and temperatures of 30°C were 23.28 mm, 11.51 mm and 0.69 mm respectively. Survival live also obtained in the treatment of CO2 concentrations of 415 ppm and temperatures of 30°C and CO2 concentrations of 415 ppm and temperatures of 32°C each of 100%. The strength of the shell and CaCO3 content decreased in the treatment of CO2 concentration and high temperatures. Higher concentration of CO2 and increased temperature negatively affected the growth of length, width, survival of scales, reduced strength and the CaCO3 content of shell.
Bioactivity of surface tethered Osteogenic Growth Peptide motifs

Osteogenic Growth Peptide (OGP) motifs were tethered to SULFHYDRYL-BIND™ polystyrene plates tuning spatial presentation of the different functional domains. The effects of the different surface-tethered OGP motifs have been evaluated in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) osteogenesis. A culture medium without any osteogenic supplements was used in order to evaluate the OGP effect, avoiding any interference by additional factors. The motif YGFGG resulted to be the most interesting, strongly enhancing the expression of BMP2 that plays a fundamental role in bone regeneration. With this study we present new evidence of the role of OGP in osteogenesis and new insights into different OGP motifs able to act as best ligands for the design of innovative bioactive materials for osteogenesis promotion and regenerative medicine applications.
Growth and production of a Littorina littorea (L.) Population in the Bay of Fundy

Abstract The rocky shore intertidal population of the periwinkle, Littorina littorea, at Welchs Cove, Bay of Fundy, is composed of three or four cohorts depending upon the time of sampling as related to the time of recruitment. The size (spire height) range of individuals present was from 2 to 26 mm and the population was numerically dominated by older and larger (> 15 mm spire height) animals, a result of the method of recruitment of smaller individuals to the population. Cohort growth was relatively constant with time as a result of a comparatively short life span (3-4 years), brought about by predation pressure and severe physical conditions experienced during the winter. Daily growth rate of shell deposited at the aperture lip was found to vary significantly with time in the period from May until November 1985. The minimum daily short-term growth rate was 0.0647 mm for the 17-day period from 21 May until 6 June, compared to the maximum rate of 0.0968 mm for the 15-day period from 1 to 15 September 198.
The Lack of QBO‐MJO Connection in CMIP6 Models

Observational analysis has indicated a strong connection between the stratospheric quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO) and tropospheric Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO), with MJO activity being stronger during the easterly phase than the westerly phase of the QBO. We assess the representation of this QBO‐MJO connection in 30 models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6. While some models reasonably simulate the QBO during boreal winter, none of them capture a difference in MJO activity between easterly and westerly QBO that is larger than that which would be expected from the random sampling of internal variability. The weak signal of the simulated QBO‐MJO connection may be due to the weaker amplitude of the QBO than observed, especially between 100 to 50 hPa. This weaker amplitude in the models is seen both in the QBO‐related zonal wind and temperature, the latter of which is thought to be critical for destabilizing tropical convection.
Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of 4,7-Dichloro-6-nitroquinazoline

Afatinib is a 4-anilinoquinazoline tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in the form of a dimaleate salt which is indicated for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The most scalable route for the synthesis of this drug was reported in two Boehringer Ingelheim patents, in which the title compound, 4,7-dichloro-6-nitroquinazoline (IV), is an important intermediate. Compound IV is also present in a number of synthetic pathways for various 4,7-disubstituted quinazoline derivatives displaying high therapeutic potential. However, no detailed characterization of this popular compound has been reported, possibly due to its high instability. In this paper, IV was prepared in an overall yield of 56.1% by a 3-step process (condensation, nitration, and chlorination) from 2-amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid (I). The target compound has been for the first time fully characterized by melting point, mass-spectrometry, FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopies.
TRANSITION TO A LAND FLORA: A MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETIC PERSPECTIVE

Phylogenetic analyses of morphoultrastructural characters and DNA sequences of chloroplast, mitochondrial, and nuclear genes and investigations of genomic structural features in both organellar genomes have clarified several difficult issues in charophyte and bryophyte phylogenies. Mesostigma seems to represent the first lineage of streptophytes, and Charales are a derived member of charophytes. Liverworts and hornworts both are candidates for the basal‐most lineage in land plants according to analyses of morphoultrastructural and sequence data, but mitochondrial intron distribution favors the former. Takakia is likely a basal moss. More studies using both multigene sequence analyses and genomic structural characters will significantly improve our understanding of the origin and early evolution of land plants.
Founder-Controlled Family Firms, Overconfidence, and Corporate Social Responsibility Engagement: Evidence From Survey Data

Drawing on (mostly) medium-sized and unlisted Polish firms, this study explores the influence of the interaction between founder-controlled family firms and managerial overconfidence on corporate social responsibility (CSR). We demonstrate that founder-controlled family firms show low levels of CSR engagement. This suggests that families try to limit CSR activities that could challenge their control and thus their socioemotional endowment. Moreover, overconfident executives in these firms tend to exhibit superior CSR performance. Consequently, the family’s preference for control can be mitigated by overconfident executives who underestimate the family’s control risk and focus on building reputation by acting socially responsible.
DELIMITING SPAWNING AREAS OF WEAKFISH CYNOSCION REGALIS (FAMILY SCIAENIDAE) IN PAMLICO SOUND, NORTH CAROLINA USING PASSIVE HYDROACOUSTIC SURVEYS

ABSTRACT Exact locations of spawning areas used by marine fishes are needed to design marine reserves and estimate spawning stocks. The location of spawning areas of soniferous fishes such as weakfish Cynoscion regalis can be determined by means of passive hydroacoustic surveys. We conducted nocturnal hydrophone surveys at 12 locations in Pamlico Sound in May of 1996 and 1997. Digital audio tapes were made of weakfish “purring” sounds, the tapes were analyzed spectrographically and compared with ichthyoplankton surveys taken at the same stations and times. All weakfish “purring” sounds were recorded at stations near inlets. Maximum sound pressure levels recorded after sunset were 127 dB (re 1 (μPa) for individual weakfish, but reached a maximum of 147 dB when weakfish and other fish were producing sounds simultaneously. The maximum distance that an individual weakfish “purr” can be detected above the background sound, assuming a cylindrical spreading model, is approximately 50 m. There was a strong associ.

Las resinas compuestas tuvieron diferentes valores de profundidad de polimerización.
The Ecology of Hawaiian Flower-Breeding Drosophilids. I. Selection in the Larval Habitat

The population density estimates for the Hawaiian flower-breeding drosophilids indicate that morning glory blossoms can support only low numbers of larvae (⩽ 6 per blossom). Evidence from experimental manipulations of blossoms indicates that Scaptomyza caliginosa larvae do not require pollen or yeasts in their diets. The nutritional requirements of S. caliginosa larvae appear to be qualitatively similar to those of Hawaiian leaf-breeding drosophilid larvae (i.e., bacterial microflorae within decaying plant tissues). The evidence also supports the notion that the large egg-small clutch strategy of S. caliginosa is an evolutionary response to both density-dependent (larval crowding) and density-independent (moisture stress) factors in the larval habitat.
Radix Puerariae rebalances vasomotor factors and improves left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with essential hypertension

The aim of the present study was to validate the beneficial role of Radix Puerariae in rebalancing the plasma levels of endothelin, angiotensin II (AngII) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in patients with essential hypertension (EHT). A total of 150 patients with EHT were enrolled consecutively and randomized to receive antihypertensive drugs according to guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT group) and GDMT plus Radix Puerariae (GDMT + RP group). The blood pressure was recorded biweekly. At baseline and at the end of the follow-up (12 weeks), the plasma levels of endothelin, AngII and CGRP were detected, whilst the left ventricular (LV) diastolic function was evaluated by echocardiography. At baseline, the two groups did not differ in terms of demographic characteristics and LV diastolic dysfunction. At the end of the follow-up, lower blood pressure was observed in the GDMT + RP compared with that in the GDMT group. The plasma levels of AngII and endothelin were also significantly lower in the GDMT + RP group. The plasma levels of CGRP increased significantly in the GDMT + RP compared with those in the GDMT group. The addition of Radix Puerariae improved LV diastolic function, with the percentage of dysfunction decreasing to only 9%, while this percentage remained significantly elevated (21%) in the GDMT group. The results of the present study demonstrated that Radix Puerariae is able to regulate blood pressure and the plasma levels of endothelin, AngII and CGRP in patients with EHT. LV diastolic dysfunction was also improved, as detected by echocardiography.
