Authors: Akpa L.E. , Ajima M. N. O. , Nwani C. D. , Onu C. A. 
Published: February 2023

Fingerlings of Tilapia zillii (5.20 gm ±0.03) were exposed to sap extract of Euphorbia tirucalli at concentrations of 6.00, 3.00, 1.50, 0.75 and 0.38 mg-1 with control as 0.00 mg-1 for 96 hours. The static bioassay showed that the 96-hour LC50 was 1.20 mg with lower and upper confidence limits of 0.78 and 1.85 mg respectively. Erratic swimming, loss of balance, respiratory distress, air gulping was observed before eventually death of the fish. Opercular ventilation and tail fin counts increased with increasing concentrations of the sap extract. Histopathological examination of the gills and liver revealed damages to these organs which were directly proportional to the concentration of the sap extract while those in the control tanks remained unchanged. Phytochemical analysis of the sap extract showed the presence of alkaloid, tannin, saponin, cardiac glycoside, rotenone, phenols, volatile oil, balsam and steroids. Water quality parameters monitored showed no significant difference (P>0.05) in temperature and pH while there was significant difference (P>0.05) in values obtained in dissolved oxygen, free carbon oxide and alkalinity. The implications of the findings as they affect the exposed fish and the aquatic ecosystem are discussed.

A Tableau Formula for Vexillary Schubert Polynomials in Type C
Authors: Matsumura Tomoo 
Published: February 2023

Ikeda-Mihalcea-Naruse's double Schubert polynomials [Adv. Math. 226 (2011)] represent the equivariant cohomology classes of Schubert varieties in the type C flag varieties. The goal of this paper is to obtain a new tableau formula of these polynomials associated to vexillary signed permutations introduced by Anderson-Fulton. To achieve that goal, we introduce flagged factorial (Schur) $Q$-functions, combinatorially defined functions in terms of marked shifted tableaux for flagged strict partitions, and prove their Schur-Pfaffian formula. As an application, we also obtain a new combinatorial formula of factorial $Q$-functions of Ivanov in which monomials bijectively corresponds to flagged marked shifted tableaux.

Introduction: Hemangiomas that have undergone involution, also have a risk for the formation of residual scar tissue or scar, as well as hemangiomas undergoing excision therapy. Scar, especially those that occur in areas that are visible or open, certainly has implications for the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to determine the level of satisfaction of hemangioma patients who received propranolol therapy with excision therapy based on the scar results at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.
Methods: Cross-sectional analytic observational study. A total of 95 research subjects participated in this study. The level of satisfaction is based on the severity of the lesion scar. The family assessment was assessed using a Likert scale consisting of the following assessment items itching, pain, color, thickness, and shape. Data analysis was carried out with the help of SPSS version 25 in univariate and bivariate.
Results: Research subjects who received propranolol therapy had different levels of satisfaction from research subjects who received surgical therapy. Research subjects who received propranolol therapy had a higher satisfaction level of 1.71 higher than those who received surgical therapy.
Conclusion: There are differences in the level of satisfaction of hemangioma patients who received propranolol therapy with excision therapy based on the scar results at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang, Indonesia.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
We analyze jet features found in the coma of comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner (21P/GZ) during its 2018 perihelion passage using narrowband CN photometric imaging in order to determine the comet’s rotational period, and we constrain the CN gas outflow velocity and rotational state through the analysis of azimuthally enhanced morphological features. We find that 21P/GZ has a period of either 7.39 ± 0.01 hr or 10.66 ± 0.01 hr. We measure a lower limit to the outflow velocity for the northern jet of 730 ± 30 m s−1 and for the southern jet of 740 ± 30 m s−1. We analyze the morphologies of the jet features and determine that the northern jet possesses a corkscrew pattern, and we utilize that knowledge to determine a rotational pole position at an R.A. of

Published: February 2023

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic had made patients scared of coming to clinics or hospitals, and this could affect the treatment of TB. Therefore, one type of service that can be used by nurses to improve compliance to TB treatment is Telenursing. This article aims to ascertain whether telenursing could be a solution in improving the compliance of TB patients to treatments in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design and Method: This research was conducted using the Randomised Controlled Trial design as well as PRISMA. Furthermore, useful research articles were sourced from the database using the keywords, “Message Reminder and Tuberculosis OR Medication Adherence”. The databases used are Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, and SAGE, all in English text and from 2015 to 2021, with inclusion criteria. 277 articles were obtained, and then filtered to select 3 articles by reading the main focus of the write-up, with regard to the topic of study.
Result: Telenursing can be a solution to reduce the spread of COVID-19, and a substitute for remotely motivating individuals, as social support. Furthermore, it could be used as a reminder to patients to be obedient in carrying out treatments, and as a means of educating and improving good relationships with providers.
Conclusions: Telenursing is a fairly effective solution in helping TB patients improve treatment compliance, reduce drug dropout rates and missed doses, as well as, raise awareness about the importance of health in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Mpandiko Godlove A. 
Published: February 2023

The study aimed at assessing the influence of product information on processed maize flour marketing by small and medium millers in Dodoma City. According to The City Council of Dodoma (2020), Dodoma has 28 maize flour millers out of 856 in Tanzania. About 17 of the maize flour small and medium millers in Dodoma package their products but 11 do not do so. Also, 70% of customers of maize flour in Dodoma buy the packaged maize flour in bags (viroba) and 30% of the rest of customers go to the millers with their maize for processing; others buy in small portions measured in small tins. However, with little or no formal studies carried out in Dodoma city on product information and its effect on processed maize flour marketing by small and medium millers in Dodoma city’s perspective, this study, therefore, assessed the influence of product information on the marketing of processed maize flour by small and medium millers in Dodoma city. A crosssectional research design was adopted for this study. A simple random sampling strategy was used in choosing 96 respondents from small and medium millers in Dodoma city. Data was collected through a questionnaire for clients (customers) and in-depth interviews with owners of Small and medium mills for processing maize into flour. Inferential statistics were used to analyse data. The study findings indicated that product information was statistically and significantly related to marketing of processed maize flour by small and medium millers in Dodoma city at a p-value less than 5% (p < 0.000). The study concluded that small and medium millers in Dodoma city, product information, and finally packaging material had a significant effect on the marketing of processed maize flour. This implies that product information had a great contribution to the marketing of processed maize flour by small and medium millers in Dodoma city. The study recommends that Small and medium millers in Dodoma city should always ensure that their packaging is coloured so as to market the processed maize flour.
Stakeholders’ Perception of the Impacts of Supply Chain Management on Tanzania Construction Projects’ Performance
Authors: Tekka Ramadhani Said 
Published: February 2023

The current era that is characterised by growth in science and technology, free market beyond borders and globalization effects has compelled every construction industry globally to struggle to resolve the increasing and overwhelming challenges raised by increase in clients' demands and needs. The rise in demands and needs has led to a serious worldwide competition of which the construction industry and firms in particular from emerging economy countries can no longer escape from. In the domestic competitive atmosphere, construction competitors have attempted to identify the strategic competitive environment and potential adaptable market features targeting to lower unnecessary construction costs and time overrun, improving quality, safety, and environmental sustainability while attaining value for money. Thus, to tolerate within a global competition environment, supply chain management has been pointed to ease the construction projects’ performance. This study aimed at examining the impacts of supply chain management on construction projects’ performance. One hundred thirty-eight (138) respondents were randomly sampled from three cities in Tanzania. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and the data were analysed descriptively. An exploratory factor analysis was performed to validate the questionnaire. Afterwards, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted, and structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was used to determine the validity of the study. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The findings provided pragmatic factors necessary for improving construction projects’ performance. Also, it was found that fourteen supply chain impacts had a positive significant contribution to improving the construction projects’ performance. Moreover, the findings showed direct and statistically significant influence of supply chain management on collaboration, integration, risk sharing and management as well as configuration. Thus, the findings suggested that supply chain management cannot be isolated from other potential factors when one needs to attain an adequate construction project’s improved performance. Both social and practical implications of the study are recommended to construction industry practitioners and policymakers in Tanzania to understand the impact of supply chain management on construction projects’ performance to enhance performance improvement. Therefore, increased use of information technology (IT) in supply chain management is recommended to improve construction projects’ performance.
Does Internal Audit Functions Effectiveness influence External Auditors’ Reliance on Internal Audit Work?
Authors: Mapuli John Sosthenes 
Published: February 2023

This study examines the influence of internal audit function effectiveness on the extent to which external auditors rely on internal audit function work. A sample of 100 senior external auditors of Tanzanian-listed companies was purposively selected to provide the data. A questionnaire was employed to collect the data which were then analysed using a Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling. The result shows that internal audit function effectiveness has a significant positive effect on the extent of external auditors’ reliance on internal audit function work. This suggests that external auditors adjust their audit efforts in response to the effectiveness of the internal audit function, consistent with the audit risk model. The result contributes a new dimension, the internal audit function effectiveness and reliance, to the audit risk model. The result has practical implications for clients and external auditors looking to obtain a cost-effective audit of financial statements, by recognising the impact of internal audit functions on external audits.
