Authors: Franca Iroegbu Ngozi , Agu Okoro 
Published: February 2019

The study highlights the imperativeness of maintaining an effective customer service delivery by attacking the notorious problem of long queue in service industry especially in Union Bank Plc. The following were the objectives: to highlight the cause(s) of clumsy service delivery in this bank which is manifested in long queues, to ascertain the usefulness of queuing model in ameliorating this problem, To examine the effects of long queue and poor service delivery on the customers, To examine the measures put in place by the bank to ameliorate the problem of long queue, to ascertain the usefulness of supervision of the tellers and facilities in ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness service delivery. The paper adopted a survey method with questionnaire and oral interviews as instruments of getting the data. The analysis of the study was presented in simple percentage in a table. The population of the study was 118 for staff (Junior/senior) and the population of customers being infinite, a sample size was derived using Williams and Freud formula to get a total of 462 customers. The data collected were analyzed with descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that the long queue is caused by poor supervision of tellers and facilities. The long queue has caused a high rate of drop of their customers to other banks. The bank has tried to embark on many strategies to attack this problem but it came late after many customers had gone. The study concludes that customer satisfaction is of prime importance to any enterprise that wants to control a high share of the market for their products. As all banks sell the same products but each bank's competitive advantage is its strategy for the satisfaction of her customers. Constant long queue in any service industry is an impediment to the realization of this goal. Proper supervision of queuing model is a panacea to this problem. The study recommends the following: proper and adequate supervision of tellers to maximize their efforts and show case the need for extra service points. There should be a constant appraisal of the staff to expose the trainable and un-trainable ones amongst them. The trainable ones should be sent for training while non-trainable ones will be laid off. There should be a proper examination of facilities and network system to keep them functional. Finally there should be regular promotional programmes to create the needed awareness to the public, informing them of the bank's re-engineering of its system to attract them back to the bank.

Adoption Of Macroprudential Policy In An Inflationary Economy: Implication For Developing Economies
Authors: Ujunwa Augustine , Nwakoby Ifeoma , Okoyeuzu Chinwe 
Published: February 2019

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to critique the suitability of macro prudential policy as a proactive and effective toolkit for mitigating financial system risk in developing economies.Design/methodology/approach: The author first discusses the causes of the 2007/2008 global financial crisis in developed and developing economies. The narration is to demonstrate that the causes, duration and amplitude of the crisis differ across jurisdictions, and any regulatory model that will be effective in mitigating future crises must take into cognizance the institutional peculiarities of those countries.Â Findings: The paper provides evidence on the difficulties of implementing the macro-prudential policy toolkits in developing economies because of their institutional and structural characteristics such as inflationary pressure, undiversified economy, lagging supervision, among others.Research Limitations/implication: There is paucity of substantial local literature on macro-prudential policy in developing economies, especially Africa. While this study is meant to close this gap, literature reviewed however, relied extensively on studies on developed economies. Practical implication: The extrapolation of prudential tools from developed economies requires serious caution by developing economies because of dissimilarities in economic structure, financial system, governance structure and causes of systemic risk, which may not be mitigated by macro-prudential toolkits.Originality and Value: The study adds value to the global discourse on regulatory models for mitigating systemic crisis by introducing the perspective of developing economies to the macro-prudential debate.

Authors: Razavi Alireza 
Published: February 2019

Effect of drought stress on cold season wheat varieties investigated at Jolgeh-rokh station of Torbat Heydarieh agricultural and resources research center during 2012 and 2013. The experiment contained 18 inbred lines and promised varieties studied in optimal and limited irrigation levels. Two separate complete randomized block designs with three replications were carried out. At limited irrigation level plants did not irrigated at dough stage and physiological maturity stage. Measured treats was: plant height, spike length, peduncle length, grains/spike, grain weight, thousand grain weight, spike weight, harvest index, grain and biological yield. Results showed that Cold wheat 14 was the best variety in both irrigation levels. Grain yield significantly correlated with grain yield and biological yield at optimal condition. There was a positive correlation between biological yield peduncle weight and harvest index with grain yield at drought condition. Stepwise regression analysis showed that yield variation control by thousand grain weight, grains/spike and spike weight at optimal irrigation condition. Peduncle length was the only variable enters to regression model at drought condition. Peduncle length and weight had the highest indirect effect on yield as shown by path analysis. Factor analysis indicated that three factors accounted for about 80 percent of the total variation among characters. Investigating the drought susceptibility indices showed that mean productivity index and stress susceptibility index was the best in selecting tolerate varieties.

Authors: Rhyem Samar 
Published: February 2019

Moringa Oleifera plant is successfully grown in Egypt now their leaves are highly nutritious and can be eaten either fresh or cooked. Aim Evaluate chemical composition of Egyptian Moringa Oleifera leaves grown in different agro-ecological regions. Methods; Same age leaves were collected from private farm in Gharbiya governorate (loam soil) and from western dessert (sandy soil). Leaves were subjected to proximate, vitamin, minerals and antioxidants analysis. Results; soil types widely affect the results depending on the nutrients and ph value. Fresh leaves contain the highest moisture content and the lowest nutrients comparing to dried leaves. Moringa Oleifera grown in sandy soil had the highest content of ash, carbohydrate and minerals including; Ca, Zn, Na, K, Mg and Fe compared to which grown in loam soil. Vitamin C, beta carotene, total phenolic, total flavonoids, and total antioxidant capacity were higher in leaves cultivated from loam soil than sandy soil as 67.93, 1497, 58.9, 90.8 mg/g , 65% and 60.5, 1303.9, 50.4, 80.5mg/g, and 59% respectively. Variability in chemical composition is likely due to differences in soil, climate, and plant age. These relatively diverse chemical constituents may be responsible for the medicinal properties of Moringa Oleifera leaves

Authors: Faraz Muhammad Ahmed 
Published: February 2019

This paper is a multi–county, multi-dimensional rigorous analysis of immensely critical and continuously expanding socio-economic crisis that has engulfed many developing countries which calls for immediate action to preserve our present and future. This paper is an embodiment of study of all factors that are seriously responsible for promoting child labor in most of the less-developed, low-income, emerging, middle-income countries. Based on empirical data, and other research articles, this paper investigates the problem from political, social and economic and cultural aspects. This paper identifies the roots of crisis and attempts to bridge the existing gap between policy and implementation so as to make the world child labor free.
First chapter deals with impact of poverty on child’s education, living conditions, well-being, future and their opportunities under poverty and the second chapter goes beyond income and well-being and answers to some of the most critical questions of our time related to childhood, society and public services and the third chapter namely the intergenerational perspective focus on policies and its failure and its continues impact on our societies and young at large and finally the conclusion chapter
The primary objective of this paper is to investigate how varied factors destroy the destiny of young children and future of most of the countries sequentially and secondly to pin-point years of inefficiency in dealing with problem and finally pursued governments to refocus and act proactively. In essence, this paper explores poverty that is beyond income poverty. This paper enlightens various hidden facts that are key and more important than income poverty. The intensity of this on-going crisis in many countries explains a structural gap between policies and implementation and the gap between research and policy design. And Ironically this year is the deadline year for the Millennium Development Goals [MDG’s] set in year 2000, but even after 15 years of continued investment and commitment many of the goals haven’t been achieved yet, so ultimate propose of this paper elaborate a broader roadmap for achieving the MDG’s sooner. The centrality of this research project focuses on gap between state commitment and outcomes why and how prescription failed to deliver or achieve targets. But MDG’s haven’t been discussed in this paper as those the beyond the scope to this research, but its helps in creation of complete understating of failures and helps in creating a system that effectively address these issues.

Published: February 2019

Primary hypertension frequency in children is determined by cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, smoking and inappropriate diet. The success of strategies for its prevention is dependent on a plurality of perinatal and postnatal risk factors.
THE AIM of this study was to investigate the influence of potential risk factors like maternal smoking during pregnancy and the diet throughout the first year of the child for primary hypertension occurrence and the level of certain trace elements in children with primary hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted among 61 students aged 10-17 years with hypertension and a control group of 20 normotensive children. Maternal smoking during pregnancy and the diet of the infant were determined and studied by conducting a survey. Spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the serum levels of the trace elements Zn, Cu, Cr. The data was processed statistically using Statgraphics. RESULTS: We found that 47.5% of the mothers of children with hypertension had smoked during pregnancy. 80.4% of children with hypertension were formula fed and only 19.6% of them were breast-fed. Significantly lower levels of serum zinc (9,90 ± 1,63 Î¼mol / l) were found in 66.6% of the children with hypertension. Serum copper levels were statistically significantly lower in 50 % of the children (6,76 ± 2,96 Î¼mol / l). All patients with hypertension had significantly lower chromium (0,68± 0,26 Î¼mol / l). CONCLUSION : Smoking mother during pregnancy and formula feeding during the first year of life can probably be considered risk factors for early hypertension manifestation. The status of trace elements Zn, Cu, Cr showed a deficit in children with hypertension. Given the role of these micronutrients in cholesterol metabolism, their low serum levels may lead to early, preclinical vascular changes.
The impact of sports on above-the-average and high-performing students achievements in Hungarian and Romanian higher education institutions
Authors: Kovacs Klara 
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we apply such a complex indicator of student achievement to study the effect of sporting habits on higher education students achievement in Romania and Hungary in the Partium region. We created a complex indicator based on 12 dimensions and re-coded the index to a binominal variable: measuring above-the-average and high-performing student achievement. Consequently, our main research question is whether sporting habits contribute to becoming a member of the above-the-average or high-performing student groups. In our analysis, we control for the effect of social background variables and examine also the effects of subjective wellbeing (happiness and life satisfaction), self-assessment on health and resilience (mental fitness, flexibility, adaptability to changed conditions) as the positive influence of these latter factors on student achievement has been verified by others and our previous studies as well. In the frame of our research, Higher Education for Social Cohesion Cooperative Research and Development in a Cross-border Area (HERD, HURO/0901/253/2.2.2.) a survey was carried out in the three countries of the Partium region (Hungary, Romania, Ukraine). The Ukrainian subsample was eliminated from the current analysis due to low headcounts and biased effects, thus our database included 2619 students. According to our results free-time sporting, subjective health status and resilience increase the likelihood to belong to the above-the-average group, while the two regular forms of sporting and mental fitness promote students to belong to the high-performing group. The level of subjective well-being decreases the likelihood to belong to both student groups. These support the assumption that sporting students are more engaged towards their studies and work as well and consider their studies as more meaningful. Such an attitude serves as a motivational factor for finishing their studies even more successfully, continuing their studies even at the doctoral level. These positive personality traits, values and attitudes that are also related to sporting define advantages in academic and personal lives and the labour market through the transfer-effect of sports.
