This study was conducted to evaluate the anesthetic quality between propofol-fentanyl mixture (P-F)(2 mg/kg+0.004 mg/kg, i.v., respectively)and ketamine-fentanyl mixture (K-F)(10 mg/kg+0.004 mg/kg, i.v., respectively) in six adult dogs premedicated with atropine (0.05 mg/kg, i.m.) and xylazine (2 mg/kg, i.m.).The results revealed the presence of significant difference (p< 0.05) only in the induction of anesthesia, recovery and standing period between both protocols.P-F mixture produced rapid, smooth and free of excitement induction (9.50 ± 0.76 sec) with transit apnea (19.16±2.4 sec). The duration of anesthesia was (23.33 ± 2.10 min), narcosis (32.50± 1.70 min) and anesthesia characterized by good muscle relaxation and abolishment of all reflexes with decrease in R.R. and increase in H R. Recovery was calm and rapid (46.6±2.25 min) and standing time was short (14.16±1.40 min),While anesthesia with K-F mixture characterized by slow and rough induction (29.16±1.53 sec), poor to moderate muscle relaxation and relatively shorter duration of anesthesia (18.83 ± 3.11 min)with narcosis for about(30.83 ± 5.23 min). The reflexes did not abolish completely especially eye reflexes (corneal and palpebral) and the eyes remained open. H.R. was increased but R.R. was decreased. Recovery was long and rough (78.33 ± 4.77 min) and stand time for (47.50±3.09 min).In conclusion, (P-F) mixtures produce excellent induction of general anesthesia rather than (K-F) in dogs and up to know this is the first report on the uses of these mixtures for induction of anesthesia in dogs.

Authors: Hussin A. M.
Published: January 2019

This study was carried out on the vaginal epithelium of eight Awassi ewes during estrus and luteal phases in order to evaluate the histological effect of vitamin A on the vaginal epithelium, vaginal smears were taken and stained by methylene blue. Light microscope was used in examination of slides. The present result revealed that vitamin A stimulated the process of keratinization which in turn raised the immune response of the vagina. The process of keratinization formed a sheet of strongly attached polygonal cells which lines the vagina. Moreover, the most striking conclusion from this study was the indication to the period of arrival of the neutrophils from the blood to the vaginal epithelium which lasts more than six hours. These observations indicate the importance of vitamin A in proliferation, keratinization and increase cellular immunity of the vagina.

This study aimed to increase the fungal lipase activity with gamma radiation and ultraviolet light (UV). NA and KC mold spores were exposed to various gamma radiation doses of 1, 2, 3 and 4 kGy. The best of these NA and KC resulted mutants were followed by ultraviolet mutations for 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours, at dose of 0.1 J/cm2, 254 nm, 20 cm. Lipase activity was tested by the Lindfield method. The results showed that gamma radiation affected the lipase activity of NA1kGy mutants (8.58 U/mL) and KC1 kGy (8.25 U/mL), each increased the lipase activity by 4.6% and 3.13% from the wild type, respectively. Mutations with ultraviolet had an effect on mutant lipase activity of KC4H 10U/mL and NA3H 9.25 U/mL, each increased the lipase activity by 25% and 15.63% from the wild type, respectively. Based on phenotypic and phylogenetic (28srRNA) approaches, a mold of KC had a 100% similarity with Aspergillus fumigatus strain RA204.Keywords: gamma radiation, KC mold, lipase, NA mold, ultraviolet light ABSTRAKKapang dari limbah kelapa sawit diisolasi dari Malingping, Lebak, Banten, Jawa Barat berpotensi untuk menghasilkan lipase.

Tujuan yang diangkat dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis dan menelaah lebih dalam lagi lingkungan internal melalui kemampuan dinamis yang dapat dilihat sebagai suatu pendekatan yang muncul dan berpotensi integratif untuk memahami sumber-sumber baru keunggulan kompetitif. Penelitian ini menyarankan bahwa kemampuan dinamis menjanjikan baik dalam hal potensi penelitian masa depan maupun sebagai bantuan untuk pihak manajemen berusaha demi mendapatkan keuntungan kompetitif dalam lingkungan yang semakin menuntut. Untuk menganalisa lingkungan perusahaan ini umumnya  digunakan analisa SWOT yang didasarkan pada logika yang dapat memaksimalkan  kekuatan (strengths) dan peluang (opportunities), namun secara bersamaan dapat meminimalkan kelemahan (weaknesses) dan ancaman (threats). Kekuatan dan kelemahan dimiliki oleh organisasi dan merupakan kondisi lingkungan internal perusahaan, sedangkan peluang dan ancaman terdapat pada lingkungan eksternal juga merupakan yang dihadapi oleh setiap perusahaan. Manajemen strategis saat ini memusatkan perhatian bagaimana perusahaan dapat menghasilkan kinerja yang tinggi dengan mempertahankan keunggulan kompetitif. Metode penelitian ini adalah studi literatur dengan berbagai sumber yang memiliki keterkaitan dalam penulisannya. Perubahan kompetitif yang signifikan cukup jarang atau cukup mahal untuk disadari, kemudian penambahan biaya dari kemampuan dinamis dianggap tidak akan cocok dengan manfaat rata-rata bahkan jika sebuah keberhasilan yang sukses penting sekali mungkin disarankan sebaliknya. Untuk itu pendekatan kemampuan dinamis ini digunakan dalam rangka menekankan pemanfaatan perusahaan yang ada, internal dan eksternal dengan kompetensi yang spesifik untuk mengatasi perubahan lingkungan.

This study aims to examine the effect of institutional ownership, independent commissioners on the value of the company with return on assets as intervening variables. The test results for a sample of 32 construction companies from 2014 to 2017 using path analysis. Institutional ownership and independent commissioners do not have a direct effect on company value and return on assets, while return on assets directly has a significant effect on the value of companies in construction companies on the IDX. While profitability is not able to mediate the effect of good corporate governance on firm value because of the Z Score under 1.98. For Square Multiple Correlation is 83.8% which indicates that the research capital framework is quite good at explaining the dependent variable.Keywords: Institutional Ownership, Independent Commissioner, Return On Assets, Company Valu
