Authors: Godbole Maneesha , Kavya N. P. , Nekar Manjunath S. , Bant D. D.
Published: January 2019

Background: About 30% of blind population of India loses their eyesight before the age of 20 years and many of them are under 5 when they become blind. Childhood blindness will have serious impact on development, education and quality of life. Therefore it is essential that ocular morbidity is detected and treated at an early stage.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 120 children aged 3-5 years attending 6 anganwadi centres of Hubballi taluk which were selected by stratified random sampling. Data was collected using pretested semi-structured questionnaire. Ocular examination was conducted to identify ocular morbidity. Test for visual acuity, colour blindness and refractive status was done using lea chart, ischihara charts and plusoptix mobile vision screener respectively. Nutrition status was assessed by clinical examination and anthropometry. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS package.Results: Out of 120 children 51.7% were male. Majority, 63.3% were residing in urban area and 40% belonged to class IV of modified B G Prasad classification of socio-economic status scale. The prevalence of ocular morbidity was found to be 20%. 15.8% of children had refractive error, 2.5% had vitamin A deficiency and 1.7% had squint. No statistically significant association was found between ocular morbidity and any risk factors.Conclusions: Refractive error was found to be the most common ocular morbidity among pre-school children. This if detected early can be corrected. Therefore it is important to screen for refractive error at the preschool age itself and to create awareness among parents and anganwadi teachers regarding common ocular symptoms.

Conclusions: In our short study, it is concluded that the primary cemented hemi arthroplasty is a good option in unstable inter trochanteric fractures in elderly.
Why do Young People Give up Their Job Search?
Authors: Ylistö Sami
Published: January 2019

The decision to search or not to search for work is usually considered a purely individual choice. However, this is a simplistic view, which ignores important structural and situational aspects of job search behaviour. This article discusses the reasons why long-term unemployed youth in Finland give up their search for work or a student place. The data comprise 28 life course interviews that were analysed by means of content analysis. The data show that young people’s job seeking behaviour is greatly influenced by how they view their labour market position and prospects. Job search abandonment is often temporary and young people soon resume their search because of the expectations of the society around them and their willingness to find work. The young people interviewed provided rational, emotional and life value reasons for their decision to suspend their job search. The article offers a deeper understanding of youths’ job search behaviour.
Denmark, Durkheim, and Decentralization: The Structures and Capabilities of Danish Working Lives
Authors: Byrne John-Paul
Published: January 2019

Over the last two decades, a range of reports and cross-sectional surveys of European workers have highlighted Denmark as scoring exceptionally, and consistently, well across several dimensions shaping working life, for example, job quality, work-life balance, discretion and learning, and job satisfaction. This is despite a trend of increasing psychosocial risks of work across Europe. Providing a retrospective interpretation of this exceptionalism, the paper draws on data from 40 expert interviews in Denmark to theoretically map the advantageous institutional components shaping working life in Denmark. Aligning the theories of Émile Durkheim with the capabilities framework, the analysis highlights the role of interdependent collective agreements, which link macro and microwork contexts and generate resources that augment the experience of balance and control within working life
Nordic Working Life Development Programs and the Tricky Problem of Scaling-up
Authors: Alasoini Tuomo
Published: January 2019

This paper examines Nordic working life development programs as agents of change and thepossibility of working life change through such programs in general. It first constructs narrativesof Norwegian and Finnish program histories based on a literature review. The narratives form the basis for a summary of the main successes, limitations, and problems of the programs. The Norwegian and Finnish experiences act as an introduction to a discussion on the shortcomings of research-aided efforts toward reforming working life more generally.The paper suggests that Transition Management, an approach widely utilized in transition and innovation studies, could also be helpful in increasing understanding about preconditions for working life change and dealing with some of these shortcomings.
Motivation, Migration and Non-standard Employment: A Survey Among Temporary Agency Workers
Authors: Underthun Anders , Aasland Aadne
Published: January 2019

Research suggests that migrants have a greater tendency to end up in nonstandard employment arrangements than native citizens do, but less attention has been paid to motivational differences within and between migrant groups. On the basis of a survey of temporary agency workers in Norway, we investigate the effect of different country backgrounds on the perceived suitability of nonstandard employment (NSE) at present and in the future. For the perceived current suitability, we find less variation between country backgrounds, but Norwegian workers are much less likely to accept NSE as suitable in the future. An ordinal regression shows that motivation (positive and negative) rather than country background is the strongest predictor of finding NSE employment suitable. As such, the article contributes to understandings about voluntary or involuntary motivations to engage in NSE in a way that informs discussions about migrants in different power positions in a Nordic labor market context.
Making Refugees Work? Individualized Work Strategies in the Swedish Refugee Settlement Program
Authors: Wikström Eva , Ahnlund Petra
Published: January 2019

In Sweden and elsewhere, work strategies have gained greater significance in social policy, and now also in settlement programs for refugees. This article addresses the level of practice of the refugee settlement program in Sweden, which previously emphasized ‘support’ and ‘social responsibility’, but now emphasizes ‘activation’ and ‘individual responsibility’. Through an analysis of interviews and individual action plans, we investigate how activation is put into practice in the work activities of refugee settlement and how employment officials and refugees articulate and experience the role that activation plays in refugees’ integration processes. The conclusion drawn is that activation is a central feature, but it involves conditionalizing elements that are used as the means to emphasize ‘work’ as the route to integration and to keep the ‘less employable’ refugees activated. The activation techniques applied require refugees to demonstrate that they are taking responsibility for their integration process and for increasing their employability.
Integration of Refugees on the Danish Labor Market
Authors: Bredgaard Thomas , Thomsen Trine Lund
Published: January 2019

The unprecedented inflow of refugees in the Nordic countries since 2014 has accentuated debates about the effectiveness of the Nordic models and their labor market integration programs. The ‘refugee crisis’ opened a window of opportunity in which some Nordic countries reformed their policy framework to promote faster and more effective labor market integration of refugees. Denmark is celebrated for its well-functioning flexicurity labor market, but has not been particularly successful in integrating nonwestern migrants and refugees in the labor market. We examine barriers on the supply-side, the demand-side, and in the matching process of the labor market to better understand the labor market performance of refugees. Subsequently, we analyze the new Danish labor market integration programs and discuss preliminary implementation results. Although it is too early to make any final judgments of the outcomes, there are indications of positive changes in implementation and results, while important integration issues remain unresolved.
Refugees and Immigrants in the Nordic
Authors: Buch Anders , Berthou Sara Kristine Gløjmar , Bredgaard Thomas
Published: January 2019

Immigration to the Nordic countries has increased significantly in the last 40 years (Pettersen & Østby 2013:76). Although exact data are hard to come by, it is clear that the term integration, albeit vague and often undefined, has become central in public and political debates. A central premise of most of the debates is the claim that newly arrived immigrants and refugees have not become part of their host societies to a satisfactory extent. Subsequently, an increasing number of initiatives and laws have been introduced in the Nordic countries with the intention to promote integration. (...)

Los concursos universitarios o juicios simulados en el marco de la enseñanza del derecho
Authors: Alarcón Peña Andrea , Villalba Juan Carlos
Published: January 2019

Desde hace un buen tiempo para acá es frecuente que los estudiantes y profesores, los primeros en calidad de concursantes y los segundos en calidad de tutores, participen en concursos que organizan universidades y prestigiosas organizaciones internacionales. Estos concursos, también denominados bajo el término en inglés “moot court”, consisten en juicios simulados en los que varios equipos, frente a un caso ficticio planteado, deben presentar, a través de varias etapas, una primera parte escrita y una segunda oral, la defensa y alegatos que son clasificatorios, para llegar a una final en la que se sabrá qué equipo se corona campeón o ganador del juicio —jurídicamente hablando—. El concurso exige superar varias etapas en las que se evalúan las competencias escritas, comunicativas y propositivas de los participantes. La preparación es intensa y el nivel de exigencia alto. Se pone en juego la capacidad de los estudiantes para poner en práctica todo aquello que han aprendido a lo largo de su formación. Los jurados o jueces son prestigiosos juristas y profesores expertos en los temas, provenientes de las más diversas latitudes.

Published: January 2019

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo el estudio del trabajo infantil doméstico, en especial de niñas, teniendo en cuenta el límite de edad de 18 años según lo previsto en la Constitución Federal, el Estatuto del Niño y el Adolescente de 1990 y la Ley Complementaria 150 de 2015. Frente a esto, surge la pregunta: ¿Brasil cuenta con políticas públicas efectivas de alcance específico para prevenir y combatir el trabajo doméstico de las niñas brasileras, con una estructura adecuada y los medios para su supervisión? De esta manera, se analizarán primero los antecedentes históricos, como el trabajo esclavo y su relación con el trabajo infantil y la de este con el trabajo doméstico. Luego, se presentarán algunos factores y condiciones del trabajo infantil doméstico, como la cultura, la escolaridad, las cuestiones de género y raciales, además de las posibles secuelas que deja el ingreso precoz al trabajo. El método utilizado es deductivo con base en una investigación bibliográfica.
Anotações sobre a lei federal instituidora das parcerias públicas e privadas no sistema jurídico brasileiro
Authors: Rosso Nelson Rocco Antonio Rangel
Published: January 2019

Se evalúa la necesidad apremiante del Estado contemporáneo, que se vale del “mercado”, de renovar su infraestructura y se constata la insuficiencia del presupuesto público. Sin embargo, en Brasil, la suscripción de contratos administrativos en virtud de la ley 8.666/1993 y la ley 8.987/1995 traslada todos los costos y la responsabilidad a la entidad privada, lo que no genera un interés para que los partícipes del “mercado” inviertan en las obras y los servicios públicos que tanto anhela la sociedad. La investigación en cuestión hace uso de una metodología de análisis cualitativo y de métodos de abordaje hipotético-deductivos de carácter descriptivo y analítico para analizar la ley 11.079 de 2004, la cual instituye normas generales para la licitación y la contratación de alianzas público-privadas en el marco de la administración pública e introduce al ordenamiento brasileño un nuevo formato contractual administrativo con el fin de cultivar el interés de socios privados en urgentes proyectos de infraestructura.
La recepción de la teoría de los sistemas de Luhmann en la jurisprudencia constitucional colombiana
Authors: Ruiz Manotas Paola , Bermeo Luis Fernando
Published: January 2019

Este texto presenta algunas consideraciones sobre la influencia que ha tenido la teoría de los sistemas de Luhmann en las decisiones de la Corte Constitucional Colombiana desde sus inicios. Encontraremos una mención general sobre los conceptos básicos de la teoría luhmanniana, sobre la interrelación de los sistemas sociales Derecho, Política y Moral y sobre algunas críticas que podrían plantearse desde Luhmann hacia el positivismo jurídico. Se hizo un estudio de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Constitucional Colombiana desde su creación hasta la fecha de la investigación, analizando en cuáles de estas el tribunal constitucional utilizó la teoría luhmanniana para sustentar su fallo y de qué forma lo hizo, encontrando que solo en tres sentencias fue citada la teoría de Luhmann, lo que indica una precariedad en cuanto a su consideración como una teoría “aceptada” por quienes ejercen el derecho en Colombia.
La inseguridad y la demanda por entretenimiento: evidencia para las áreas metropolitanas de Monterrey, Guadalajara y León
Authors: Ayala Gaytán Edgardo Arturo , Chapa Cantú Joana Cecilia
Published: January 2019

Se formula un modelo de demanda que considera la probabilidad percibida de ser víctima de un delito y distingue los bienes de consumo en servicios de entretenimiento fuera del hogar y el resto. Los resultados arrojan que la probabilidad percibida de ser víctima tiene un efecto negativo en la demanda de entretenimiento fuera del hogar. Las predicciones del modelo son probadas empíricamente estimando un modelo probit de cambio de hábitos de salir a comer o al cine, utilizando los resultados de una encuesta sobre victimización aplicada en las áreas metropolitanas de Monterrey, Guadalajara y León en 2009. Se encuentran como determinantes significativos del cambio en las salidas a comer o al cine: los niveles de miedo al crimen en la colonia y en el área metropolitana, la escolaridad, la edad y el género. Así también, se identifican como determinantes del miedo al crimen, la victimización previa y la confianza en la policía.

Authors: Wang Ying , Ye Zhikang , Liu Lihong , Cui Xiangli
Published: January 2019

Purpose. Studies provided conflicting results on whether antidepressant use increased the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Our aim was to examine the association between antidepressant use and the risk of VTE. Methods. Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched up to March 13, 2018. Case-control studies and cohort studies that examined the association between antidepressant use and the risk of VTE, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism were included. Several subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were conducted. GRADE approach was used to assess the quality of evidence. Results. Nine studies (six case-control studies and three cohort studies) were included. Overall, antidepressant use may be associated with an increased risk of VTE (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.49); however, no association was observed in studies with low risk of bias (OR 1.27, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.92). No association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use and VTE risk was detected in the overall analysis (OR 1.10, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.34) and in subgroup analysis of studies with low risk of bias. Tricyclic antidepressant may be associated with an increased VTE risk (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.57), and the quality of evidence was rated as very low by GRADE approach; however, no association was observed when we only included studies with low risk of bias. Conclusions. There was no association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use and VTE risk. Tricyclic antidepressant may be associated with an increased VTE risk, but the quality of evidence was very low.

Background. Removable designs are used in orthopedic dentistry for prosthetics of patients. The most used materials for the manufacture of bases of removable dental prosthesis currently are acrylate-based plastics. More than 90 % of removable dental prosthesis designs are produced with using of this material. The affordable cost of acrylate-based plastics prosthesis makes this material attractive for different groups of population. But this material has a number of well-known disadvantages: at first, the high concentration of residual monomer, which has a toxic effect, may cause allergic reaction and impossibility of using prosthesis; secondly, the porous structure of material contributes to the microbial seeding of the prosthesis; also, material shrinkage is up to 8 %. In connection with above, the certified in Russia Vertex ThermoSens (Vertex-Dental B.V., the Netherlands; ISO-Certificate 9001:2008) polyamide construction material deserves attention. This material has no residual monomer in its composition; the prostheses has an ability to be corrected in laboratory; shrinkage in the process of manufacturing designs is minimal. It is important to note such advantages as the high density of thermoplastics in combination with low specific weight and minimal porosity, which significantly reduces the formation of a microbial film on prostheses. Objectives. The aim of the research is to enhance the strength and fatigue characteristics of material based on Vertex ThermoSens, reinforced with titanium dioxide particles, for prosthetics of patients with complex clinical situations. Methods. In this work, the mechanical characteristics of reinforced with titanium dioxide powder (5 and 10 % by weight) polyamide material have been investigated. Tests on a static three-point bend at room temperature and temperature of 40 ºC and tests on fatigue of samples of this material were performed. Results. The analysis of changes of characteristics of material at different mass fractions of filler was carried out. Higher mechanical characteristics of the material with 10 % filling were noted, in particular, greater resistance to elevated temperatures and greater fatigue life. Conclusions. On the basis of research results it is possible to make a conclusion that using 1st group material is more effective for dental prosthesis production than using 2nd group material. The research results will be relevant for working out of dentures for patients with various clinical situation.

Background. The article has explored the problem of the inflammatory-destructive process estimation in parodontium of elderly patients with chronic generalized periodontitis. Authors have performed the analysis of Russell index informative value and it is validity in gerontoperiodontology practice. Objectives ― to estimate the informative value of Russell index as well as it`s trends significance, depending on the treatment regimen of elderly patients with periodontitis. Methods. Three patient cohorts of 124 elderly persons with chronic generalized periodontitis were examined. The conventional treatment was administered in all patient groups. The patients in the second cohort, along with other medications, received cranial electrotherapy stimulation, in the third one - Polyoxidonium. The examination included indexes calculating (PMA, SBI, Russell index), estimation of their reduction, as well as level detection of blood TNF-α. Results. The study has revealed the disparity between Russell index and others clinical and laboratory parameters, which could be explained by estimation criterions balance within the index («0» - 24,49±1,54%; «1» - in 11,12±1,76%; «2» - in 9,96±1,83%; «4» - in 3,23±1,22%; «6» - 50,51±2,17% and «8» - 0,69±0,26%), as well as by anatomic and physiological features of elderly patients. Conclusions. When using the Russell index in gerontoperiodontology, it is necessary to take into account its low dependence on the treatment, because of lytic processes inconvertibility, as well as the insufficient proportion of the index evaluation criteria, determining the degree of inflammation in the marginal parodontium. This explained the lack of statistical significance between groups, as well as within groups during all stages of clinical observation, regardless of the method of treatment.

To examine the relationship between the oral health behavior and perfectionism. Methods. A total of 450 patients were enrolled in this study aged from 18 to 25. Behavioral, socio-economic and clinical data were collected through questioning and clinical examination. Perfectionism was assessed using N.G. Garanyan and A.B. Kholmogorova Perfectionism questionnaire. Results. Poor oral hygiene was observed in 62,5% patients. The frequency of tooth cleaning was correlating negatively with such components of perfectionism as "Perception of people as delegating high expectations" (PPD) (r = -0.36; p <0.05); "Selecting information about personal failures" (SIF) (r = -0.33, p <0.05). "Self- reported gingival condition" showed negative correlation with "General perfectionism index"(GLP), "Inflated claims and demands to oneself" (ICD) (r = -0.27, p <0.05). There was positive correlation between hygiene index OHI-s and PPD (r = 0.44, p <0.05), ICD (r = 0.41, p <0.05), SIF (r = 0.47, p <0.05), "Polarized thinking" (r = 0, 35, p <0.05), GLP (r= 0,50; p<0,05). Conclusion. Patients had low level of oral health knowledge. Patients who are striving for ideal, exemplary behavior, themselves, will lowly assess the health of the gums. Striving for their "inner ideal", direct all their strength and attention to work, study or any other activity, and pay less attention to health, less watch for the condition of the teeth, compared to patients who have low scores on perfectionism.

Subject: Salivary stone disease is a disease that occurs as a result of inflammatory processes occurring in the salivary glands. More recently, salivary stone disease was considered a rare disease. Thanks to the available modern methods of diagnosis, the detection of salivary stone disease is significantly progressing. Purpose: In our work we aimed to figure out the most effective methods of diagnosis of salivary stone disease . Among the private methods of radiation diagnosis of salivary stone disease, we have identified ultrasound and CT examination of the salivary glands and ducts. Our task was also to determine how conservative treatment is competitive with the surgical method of treatment of this disease. Results: As a result of our studies , we concluded that the ultrasound method in the diagnosis of inflammation of the salivary glands and the presence of concretions in the glands and ducts is highly informative , safe and accessible to patients . Conservative methods of treatment used in patients who were diagnosed with the presence of concretions at the outlet of the salivary gland ducts are no less effective than surgical methods. Surgical treatment of salivary stone disease is advisable only in cases of block of the salivary gland and ducts concretions more than 0.5 cm in diameter. Conclusion: Salivary Stone disease in our medical institution is diagnosed quite often. The method of ultrasound diagnosis is the main method of examination of patients who came to us with symptoms of salivary stone disease. CT method is advisable to carry out patients in need of surgical treatment of the disease. The method of CT diagnosis allows to establish the exact coordinates and sizes of concretions located in the salivary glands and deep in the ducts.

Background. The article presents the results of a dental examination of 68 schoolchildren of 12-15 years with visual impairment. Objectives ― to study the dental status of blind and visually impaired children in the period of permanent bite, the necessity of sanation, the level of dental care. Methods. The prevalence and intensity of dental caries, dental-maxillary anomalies, soft tissue anomalies, functional disorders of the dental-maxillary system, the hygienic condition of the oral cavity, the necessity of sanation, the level of dental care of the examined schoolchildren were estimated. For determination of the intensity of dental caries the KPU index was used. The study of the structure of this index made it possible to determine the necessity of sanation of the oral cavity, the level of caries intensity (PEC index, Leus PA, 1990) and the level of dental care (USP index, Leus PA, 1988) in this category of schoolchildren. The hygienic condition of the oral cavity was estimated by the Green-Vermillion Index. The examination results were put down into the children’s registration cards of dental status (WHO, 2013). Results. During the dental examination, a high prevalence and intensity of dental caries, poor oral hygiene among schoolchildren aged 12-15 years with visual impairment were found. The majority of the examined children suffered from dental-maxillary anomalies, anomalies of soft tissues, dysfunction of the dental-maxillary system. Anomalies of separete teeth had the largest percentage among the tooth-jaw anomalies. As a result of the examination, a high necessity of sanation and an insufficient level of dental care were established. Conclusions. The results of this work indicate the necessity of the planning measures for the prevention and treatment of dental diseases of children with this pathology.

Published: January 2019

Рад се бави преписивачком делатношћу манастира Карловачке митрополије у 18. столећу као одразом средњовековне традиције. Пошто је укратко анализирана карактеристична историјска ситуација, наведени су разлози и сврха настављања преписивања у то време. Разматрају се интензитет и распрострањеност преписивачке праксе, врсте преписиваних књига (богослужбене, богословске, историографске, школске итд.), фреквентност преписивачког рада у току столећа, као и обичај компилирања личних зборника и њихово место у манастирским библиотекама. Наводе се и преписивани наслови, типични за овај период, при чему има књига српског, руског и западноевропског порекла. Нарочито се подвлачи пракса преписивања оригиналних дела српске средњовековне књижевности, како литургијских, тако и историографских. Појава новог типа школства код Срба илустрована је обичајем преписивања школских уџбеника. Посебно су наглашене и везе са руском културом, која је, између осталог, имала и посредничку улогу. На крају је дат кратак преглед и оцена дела рукописне збирке манастира Грабовца, везане за овај период, при чему је више пажње усмерено на полемичку теолошку литературу.
Psychological Resilience and Self-Esteem Related Components on Career Adaptation and Career Optimism
Authors: KALAFAT Temel
Published: January 2019

The purpose of the present
research was to examine the relationships between career adaptability (CA),
career optimism (CO), resilience and self-esteem. A hierarchical regression
analysis was specified to determine whether career adaptability and optimism
predicted by resilience and self-esteem components. The participants in the
research group were 39 males and 138 females with an age range of 21–30 years
old (M = 22.26). The 150 of the participants were senior college students and
27 of participants were teachers in an exam preparation course. As a result of
this study, it was seen that there was no gender difference in terms of career adaptability.
However, when the career optimism is examined, it is seen that women draw a
more positive picture than men. When the factors affecting career adaptability
and career optimism are examined, psychological resilience, self-liking and
self-competence behavior are defined as factors affecting career adaptability.
However, only self-competence is seen to be effective on career optimism.

The pattern of learning in early childhood should be built based
on the growth and development of children whose implementation is packed
appropriately in accordance with the child’s world, that is playing, drawing,
singing and watching cartoons. All of them are a routine activity that is great
fun for children, as well as through playing, drawing, singing children will learn
Growth of children is different with their development. The growth is more
quantitative, whereas the development refers to the qualitative parameters.
Thus, the meaning of early childhood development is the advancement of the
quality of physical function, psychological and synergy of both. Early childhood
development that need to be considered further attention include areas: motor
skills, physical function, cognitive ability, language skills, and the ability of
religion.

This study was carried out to investigate the comparative toxicity of seeds of Piper guineense Schum & Thonn, Capsicum annum L., diatomaceous earth, pirimiphos-methyl dust, rice husk (powder and ash) against Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) in stored cowpea seeds. Toxicity test was carried out by exposing five pairs each of freshly emerged beetles to the substrate materials at the rates of 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 g/20 g of grains. The experiment conducted at ambient temperature of 28 oC + 2 oC and 75% + 5% relative humidity was replicated three times and arranged in a completely randomized design. Adult mortality was observed for four days. The following phytochemicals were observed in the materials: alkaloids, saponins, tannin, flavonoid and glycosides. Results of the toxicity assay revealed that rice husk ash was the most toxic to adult C. maculatus with 100% mortality (p < 0.05) within 72 h of exposure at a concentration of 0.1 g/20 g grains. Pirimiphos methyl gave a significantly high mortality of 76.67% at a concentration of 0.2 g/20 g of grains in cowpea after 72 h of application. The least efficacy was observed with rice husk powder evoking 3.33% at a dosage of 0.3 g/20 g in cowpea. The treated grains significantly reduced the oviposition and adult emergence of C. maculatus and were significantly different from the control in all the different dosages. Oviposition and adult emergence were lowest in rice husk ash with 8 eggs and 24.62% adult emergence in C. maculatus, at 0.5 g/20 g dosage. The percentage adult emergence in the untreated grains was significantly different (higher) (p > 0.05) from the emergence in the treated cowpea grains across the dosages. At all levels of dosages, the powders and ash significantly reduced weight loss, damage and weevil perforation index caused by the beetle. Rice husk ash at 0.5 g dosage recorded the lowest weight loss, grain damage and weevil perforation index of 0.40%, 1.95% and 5.80%, respectively. The findings from this research showed that rice husk ash was most potent/toxic to C. maculatus and its use could be encouraged especially in small scale storage.

Globally mercury (Hg) has been reported as one of heavy metal of known toxicity, noted for inducing public health disasters. Present study examines the therapeutics potentials of Ocimum basilicum on mercury chloride (HgCl2) induced hepatotoxicity in Wistar rats. Thirty adult Wistar rats randomly divided into six groups (A-F) of five rats each. Group A served as control was given 2 mL/day of distilled water, Group B, C, D, E and F received 500 mg/kg body weight (bwt) of O. basilicum extract, 20 mg/kg/bwt of HgCl2, 40 mg/kg bwt of HgCl2, 20 mg/kg bwt of HgCl2 and 500 mg/kg bwt O. basilicum leave extract, 40 mg/kg bwt and 500 mg/kg bwt O. basilicum administered daily by gastric gavage, for 21 consecutive days. The gross anatomical parameters of the liver and liver histology were assessed. Liver oxidative stress was evaluated by liver superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) assays. The activities of the biomarker enzymes of the liver (alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase and alkaline phosphatase were assayed). Histological profiles of the liver revealed derangement of the liver cytoarchitecture following consumption of mercury chloride and a marked improvement was observed after O. basilicum administration. Similarly, O. basilicum improved the reduction of antioxidant parameters (SOD, CAT, GPx and GSH) and the increased MDA caused by mercury chloride consumption. O. basilicum thus proffer protection against free radical mediated oxidative stress in mercury chloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
