Influence of Earnings on Market Share Prices of Firms Listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange

Collins were the leaders of research on determinants of the share price. Earnings influencing dynamics of share prices various studies. Regionally, on the Nigerian Stock Exchange in Nigerian firms found that firm EPS has no analytical power on stock prices. A research by Listed Companies on the Ghanaian Stock Exchange Attah-Botchwey found that the share price decreased as the dividends of the company rose. The impact of the stock price change dividend judgment in Nigeria was examined by (Sulaiman Migiro, 2015). This research shows a huge positive correlation in terms of earnings and dividend per share on their price. Recent related studies in Kenya have been done by Danson Musyoki (2011) and Mohamed Hussein Mohamed These studies did not consider the effects of earnings announcement on the share price that warranted this study furthermore, the proposed study focuses on a more recent period being 2010 to 2013. Kipronoh (2014) examined the reaction of prices to earnings information at the Nairobi securities exchange earnings announcements. The researcher noted abnormal price response pertaining earnings statement durations which suggest that earnings announcements contain significant information. Abstract: With Kenya as a prominent emerging market in Africa, the Nairobi Securities Exchange is Africa's biggest stock trade as respects exchanging volumes, and fifth on the subject of market capitalization as a rate of Gross Domestic Product. Consequently, there is a growing necessity to determine the effect of earning on share prices of listed firms. The aim of the study was to establish how earning per share influence share prices of firms at Nairobi securities exchange. This study was guided by random walk theory and descriptive research design. Target populatiosn were 61 firms at NSE. The study utilized secondary data. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and regression analysis. The R squared was . 563 indicated that 56.3% of market share prices was explained by share earnings. The earnings per share influenced market share prices (β=0.936 and p <0.05). The study concluded that the earnings influenced the market share prices. Earnings are pertinent and impact the share price of a corporation hence its worth incomparable to the hypotheses that view dividend policy as extraneous. The study recommends that Investors’ who invest in stocks for short term or long-term purposes need to consider earning per share when investing in shares. In addition, investors should consider previous earning per share when structuring their portfolio. Such an action will be interpreted positively by investors and this will boost demand for the shares.
Faktor-Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Munculnya Kembali Penyakit Kaki Gajah Di Kabupaten Aceh Barat Tahun 2019

Filariasis merupakan penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh cacing filaria jika tidak cepat maka akan mengalami cacat permanen, hal itu terjadi ketika saat kondisi kronik terjadi pembengkakan pada kaki dan tangan, dalam kondisi itu maka disebut elephantiasis (kaki gajah). Kabupaten Aceh Barat merupakan salah satu Kabupaten yang memiliki jumlah kasus Filariasis terbanyak yang terus meningkat dari 9 kasus di tahun 2015 menjadi 15 kasus pada tahun 2017. Banyak faktor yang diduga sebagai penyebab kejadian kaki gajah diantaranya pengetahuan, prilaku, lingkungan fisik rumah, sosialisasi penyuluhan petugas kesehatan. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan munculnya kembali penyakit kaki gajah di Kabupaten Aceh Barat tahun 2018. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa munculnya kembali penyakit kaki gajah di Kabupaten Aceh Barat tahun 2018 berhubungan dengan pengetahuan (p= 0,021), sikap (p= 0.042), tindakan (p= 0,028), sosialisasi penyuluhan tenaga kesehatan (p=0.002), dan lingkungan fisik rumah (p=0.002) namun tidak ada hubungan dengan jenis kelamin (p=0.866) dan literasi kesehatan (p=0,0773).

Induced sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture in a rat model: hepatic and renal histological features

Animal models have been developed in an attempt to test potential therapeutic agents. The study aims to determine the hepatic and renal histological features induced by sepsis following cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) in a rat model. Regarding the material, we used 20 adult-male Wistar rats (control group 1, n=10, and group 2, n=10, that underwent CLP protocol). The experimental protocol was approved by the National Sanitary Veterinary and Food Authority, Cluj (Romania), project number 116/11.05. 2018. The endpoint of the experiment was pre-set to 10 hours post-surgery. A complete necropsy survey was performed. The main renal lesions detected histologically were: glomerular congestion and edema, hyalinization of glomerular mesangium, presence of hyaline in the urinary space with associated compression atrophy of vascular glomerular tuft, granules of hyaline in the lumen of cortical tubules, and reduction of the urinary space. The hepatic lesion identified histologically was represented by isolated miliary necrotic foci.
Tissue Distribution of Ia Antigens and their Expression on Lymphocyte Subpopulations

The major histocompatibility {H-2) complex in the IXth linkage group on the 17th mouse chromosome consists of K, I, S and D regions with K and D coding for the classical H-2 transplantation antigens and S controlling soluble serum proteins. The central segment of the H-2 complex, the / (immune response) region is of particular interest because during the last few years it has become apparent that it plays a major role in numerous immunological phenomena including genetic control of immune responsiveness, mixed lymphocyte and graft versus host reactions, graft rejection, and cellular interaction in the immune system (Shreffler & David 1975). Because adequate understanding of the nature and interrelationship of these reactions depends largely on the elucidation of the molecular entities involved, much effort has been invested into the identification of /-region gene products. These studies were considerably facilitated by the use of congenic pairs of mice, such as A.TL (X« P S^ D^ and A.TH {K' I" 5* D^ which have identical H-2K and H-2D regions and differ only in their / and S regions. Antisera produced in these mice by reciprocal immunization with lymphoid cells permitted the detection of a group of polymorphic cell-surface structures, designated Ia antigens (immune-region-associated antigen) (David et al. 1973, Gotze et al. 1973, Hauptfeld et al. 1973, Hammerling et al. 1974, Shreffler et al. 1974). Simultaneously Sachs & Cone (1973) were able to identify Ia antigens with conventional anti-H2 sera when tested against appropriate target strains. More than 15 different Ia
Stable isotopic characterization of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur uptake of Acharax japonica from central Japan

: A unique community of Acharax japonica has been found in the reductive bottom sediments in two natural seawater sinks, where a number of the clams can easily be collected and successfully maintained for over a year in laboratory conditions. Stable isotopic signature of their soft body parts shows typical range for chemosynthesis-based bivalves, indicating that the clams rely on sulfur-oxidizing bacteria in their gill. d 15 N values of substrate ammonia have been measured together with those of the clam soft body parts. These results conﬁrm that the characteristic negative d 15 N values of the clam soft-body parts were caused by a large isotope fractionation during ammonia assimilation as previously documented for those from various locations. In addition, sulfur isotopic ratios of each organ show signiﬁ-cant variation. Such trend is observed for some thiotrophic chemosynthesis-based bivalves inhabited on a cold-seep en-vironment, suggesting that it is a common feature for thiotrophic bivalve communities depended on bacterial derived sulﬁde. Heterogeneity of sulfur isotopic signature among different organs from one specimen was considered due to pri-mary heterogeneity of d 34 S values for source sulﬁde in their habitat. In addition a different turnover rate of the sulfur nutrition in each organ was conspicuous for the sulfur isotopic variation. This was conﬁrmed by long-term maintenance using an external sulfur budget under laboratory conditions. The estimated turnover rates among three organs were the highest for gill (shorter than three months), the lowest for viscera (longer than a year), and intermediate for foot.

Biochemical and morphological modifications during the growth of Tuber borchii mycelium

This paper reports the first biochemical characterisation of Tuber borchii mycelial strain ATCC 96540, grown in liquid media containing either glucose, fructose or sucrose. A new biochemical method, based on the estimation of total protein content, was developed for determining the amount of mycelium growth. This method is more sensitive than other methods, allowing growth to be monitored in the lag phase and when small amounts of mycelium are grown on a solid medium. Mycelium of T. borchii utilizes glucose and fructose as carbohydrate sources but grows poorly if at all on sucrose. In these experiments the functional state of the mycelium was evaluated by determining the activity of enzymes of the glycolytic and pentose phosphate pathways which are involved in producing energy and in supplying reducing power through the formation of reduced pyridine coenzymes. The biochemical data on mycelium growth were supported by observations on ultrastructural morphology which revealed the different steps in hyphal depletion during ageing. In addition, the monitoring of alanine content of the liquid media during mycelial growth indicated that there was an increasing loss of alanine from their cytoplasm as hyphae aged. The development of this procedure makes it possible to identify the conditions under which T. borchii is able to synthesize a mycorrhiza with a compatible host.
Heterobasidiomycetous fungi from Aegean Islands (Greece): New annotated records for a neglected group

Abstract As part of an inventory of macrofungi in selected islands of the Aegean Archipelago (Greece), 18 species of heterobasidiomycetes (phylum Basidiomycota) belonging to the orders Auriculariales, Cantharellales, Dacrymycetales and Tremellales were collected and identified from the islands of Agios Efstratios, Amorgos, Andros, Crete, Ikaria, Naxos and Nisyros. Among the heterobasidiomycetous fungi collected, Ceratobasidium cornigerum, Dacrymyces lacrymalis, Exidiopsis effusa, E. galzinii, Thanatephorus amygdalisporus, Tremella aurantia, Tulasnella pallida and T. pruinosa constitute first national records, while the genera Ceratobasidium, Thanatephorus and Tulasnella are reported for the first time in Greece. All species are listed with information on their hosts/substrates and occurrence in the investigated islands, while the most interesting records are described, illustrated, and critically discussed in the light of existing taxonomic and distribution data.
The influence of roost closure on the roosting and foraging behaviour of Eptesicus fuscus (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)

We used radio tracking and direct observation to determine the effect of roost closure on the roosting and foraging behaviour of big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) in maternity colonies near Ottawa. Individuals were site loyal, but after eviction they moved short distances to new roosts where they tended to produce fewer offspring. The time spent on the first foraging flight, the maximum distance travelled, and the use of feeding areas did not change with exclusion. The results suggest that bats roost to take advantage of site-specific factors that may increase reproductive success.
Effect of nutrient concentration and salinity on diel vertical migration of Chattonella marina (Raphidophyceae)

Abstract Vertical migration plays an important role in the development of Chattonella populations in the natural environment; however, this behaviour has remained largely undescribed. In the present study, the diel vertical migration of Chattonella marina in the Ariake Sea was examined along with nutrient concentrations and salinity at four sampling sites during the bloom in the summers of 2008, 2009 and 2010. Cells of Chattonella were abundant at the surface (0 m depth) in the daytime in most cases. However, when surface salinity was 9, which is the lower limit for growth, the population accumulated at a depth of 2 m, where salinity was 15, suggesting that Chattonella moves to avoid water with low salinity. Chattonella cells actively migrated, even under nutrient-replete conditions (mean DIN concentration, 12.73 µM). The present study demonstrates that Chattonella cell migration is independent of nutrient availability. In addition, Chattonella cells stop upward migration when the surface salinity is low (< 15). These insights are important for making predictions of Chattonella population dynamics after heavy rains.
Plant Resources and Butterfly Habitat Selection

The microdistribution of adult subalpine butterflies was examined in relation to several components of the mountain meadow flora in Gunnison County, Colorado. With the exception of two small, sedentary species, there was no significant correlation between the microdistribution of the butterflies and that of their larval food plants. Similarly, correlational studies indicated no strong habitat selection on the basis of nectar source abundance. The diversity of the butterfly fauna was, if anything, negatively correlated with overall floral diversity. It thus seems that most of the butterflies studied treat a wide array of meadow—vegetation associations as suitable habitat. See full-text article at JSTOR
STUDY OF BIOCHAR FROM GRO-WASTE FOR DYE ADSORPTION: CAPACITY AND KINETICS

Two biochars derived from wattle bark (BA) and coffee husks (BC) used to remove methylene blue (MB) which achieved the yield values of 33.3 % to 35.08% at 500 o C of pyrolysis. Adsorption increased with the rising of the dose until 2 g/L for BC, and 5 g/L for BA, respectively. When rising pH, the increasing trend was observed for BA, and BC, from 67 % at pH of 2 to 93% at pH of 12. The equilibrium time depended on the initial MB concentration and the MB removal accounted for over 83% at the first 30 minutes. The experiment data fits better with Avrami, and Elovich than Pseudo-first-order equation (PSO), and Pseudo-second-order model (PFO). Adsorption process comprised more than one reaction pathway including integer-kinetic order, and multiple kinetic orders or fractionary kinetic order.
Root System Characteristics and Control of Nitrogen Uptake

Summary In many native ecosystems, acquisition of nitrogen (N) depends on bioavailability of this element at the root surface. However, root system characteristics and how they respond to environmental factors are critical to a better understanding of N acquisition in terrestrial plants. This chapter provides an overview of the recent literature in root system control mechanisms of N uptake. In addition to presenting some of the more recent advances in this area, I have argued that in developing a mechanistic understanding, we must first pay more attention to root characteristics, e.g., longevity, uptake kinetics, and architecture that are often overlooked in studies of N uptake. Experimental approaches and techniques must be developed to monitor these characteristics more routinely along with measurements of the common parameters of root biology, e.g., biomass allocation. Because these root traits often exhibit a considerable amount of tradeoffs relative to each other, it is imperative that they are evaluated collectively rather than singly.
Aphid colony turn‐over influences the spatial distribution of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae over the wheat growing season

1 Temporary habitats are characterized by the appearance and disappearance of patches in which resources are available for a limited period only. Organisms living in those environments usually exhibit adaptive traits, such as a high ability to find and exploit new patches. Among them are phytophagous insects, such as crop pests living in agroecosystems. Understanding how phytophagous insects invade a new patch is of great agricultural importance.
DNA replication in vivo of linear DNA killer plasmids pGKL1 and pGKL2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract Electron microscopic observation demonstrated that linear DNA plasmids, pGKL1 and pGKL2, were replicated by a strand displacement mechanism similar to adenovirus and Bacillus subtilis o 29 phage. Moreover, their DNA replication was prevented by α-factor, a mating hormone which prevents the replication of chromosomal DNA and 2 μm plasmid in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mating type a cells. This result suggests that the replication of pGKL plasmids is controlled by the same genes that control the initiation or maintenance of chromosomal DNA and 2 μm plasmid replications.
THE CHEMISTRY OF INSECT HEMOLYMPH

α,α-Trehalose, a sugar previously regarded as a product characteristic of certain lower plants, has been identified as a major blood sugar of insects. Trehalose has been isolated in pure form from the blood of pupae of the silk moth, Telea polyphemus, and has been recognized chromatographically in all the insects examined, which comprise 10 species belonging to 5 different orders. Trehalose has been determined quantitatively with anthrone after either chromatographic separation or chemical degradation of other sugars. In larvae and pupae of 4 species of Lepidoptera it ranges from 0.2 to 1.5 gm. per 100 ml. of blood and makes up over 90 per cent of the blood sugar; in larvae of a sawfly, about 80 per cent of the blood sugar is trehalose. In Bombyx mori and Platysamia cecropia, the pupal blood trehalose level is about half that in the mature larva, suggesting utilization of trehalose for glycogen synthesis during pupation. Small amounts of glucose and apparent glycogen are also present in the plasma of these insects. In Bombyx larval plasma there is also 0.04 to 0.12 gm. per 100 ml. of glucose-6-phosphate and smaller amounts of an apparent ketose phosphate.
Hipertensión arterial y relación cintura-estatura en estudiantes universitarios de Oaxaca

Introduccion : En Mexico es limitada la evidencia sobre la relacion Cintura-Estatura (RCE) como predictor del riesgo cardiovascular (RCV) y otras entidades afines, la Hipertension Arterial (HTA) entre ellas. Una RCE aumentada senalaria a aquellos sujetos con RCV elevado y propension a la HTA. Objetivo : Evaluar la asociacion entre la RCE y la tension arterial (TA) en adultos jovenes. Diseno del estudio : Estudio transversal, analitico. Locacion del estudio : Estado de Oaxaca (Mexico). Serie de estudio : Doscientos veinticuatro estudiantes universitarios ( Varones : 25.9%) con edades entre 18 – 30 anos ( Edad promedio : 21.0 ± 2.3 anos). Metodos : De cada uno de los sujetos examinados se obtuvieron las cifras sistolica (TAS) y diastolica (TAD) de la TA (mm Hg), la talla (cm), el peso corporal (Kg), y la circunferencia de la cintura (CC); y se calcularon la tension arterial media (TAM), el indice de masa corporal (IMC) y la RCE. Se examinaron la naturaleza y la fuerza de las asociaciones entre las distintas representaciones de la TA, por un lado; y la CC, la RCE y el IMC, por el otro. Resultados : La prevalencia general de la HTA fue del 8.8%. La frecuencia del exceso de peso fue del 32.1% ( Obesidad : 4.5%). La proporcion de valores de RCE > 0.5 fue del 34.8%. Los varones mostraron una mayor frecuencia de HTA. La TA fue independiente del IMC, la CC y la RCE. Conclusiones : La baja prevalencia de la HTA en la serie de estudio impidio encontrar asociaciones entre la TA y los indicadores propuestos de adiposidad corporal. Recomendaciones : Evaluar la efectividad de la RCE como predictor de la HTA en otros grupos etarios con un mayor RCV implicito.
Old‐Field Succession on a Minnesota Sand Plain

Vegetation and soils were sampled in 22 old fields ranging in age from 1 to 56 yr since abandonment. Soil nitrogen concentration increased significantly with field age. Vegetation cover, total aboveground plant biomass, and litter cover increased significantly with soil nitrogen. Light penetration to the soil surface was negatively correlated with total plant biomass. Field age and soil nitrogen concentration were used as independent variables in simple regression and partial correlation analyses to determine the relative importance of such time-dependent processes as dispersal vs. the availability of a limiting resource (nitrogen) as predictors of patterns in species richness or the abundance of various plant groups. Species richness per field and within-field heterogeneity in species composition increased with field age. Local species richness decreased with increasing soil nitrogen. Cover of annuals and introduced species decreased with field age and nitrogen; however, annuals contributed an important part of total vegetative cover even in 25-yr-old fields. Cover of perennials and woody species increased with soil nitrogen and field age. Although the fields were bordered by woods, woody species contributed <15? /o cover even in the oldest fields. For several plant groups the relationship between cover and soil nitrogen within individual fields was the opposite of that among all fields. These patterns suggest that while soil nitrogen is an important determinant of local species composition and abundance, dispersal and colonization, which are dependent on field age, determine which species are present in a field.
