Authors: Tariq Sana , Bhatti Dr Najia , Isran Dr Basma Zia 
Published: January 2023

Introduction: PCOS is a major endocrinological syndrome that affects females and impairs hormonal stability thus having an impact on the normal functioning of some body systems. This has affected 6-20% of the female population of reproductive age and hence its diagnosis is important.
Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional observational study. A total of 151 females were enrolled; after signing an informed consent form, females were asked a few questions about their general health, comorbidities, and generalized menstruation history. The last part of the questionnaire contains common signs and symptoms of polycystic ovarian disease to assess awareness. The data was analyzed in the statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) version 2021.Result: The participants were asked about 7 signs of PCOS. 9.3% (n=14) were facing irregular periods, heavy bleeding was experienced by 16.6% (n=25) participants. Facial hair growth has occurred in 13.2% (n=20) of participants. 15.2% (n=23) had oily scalp and dandruff. Participants were also asked if they were aware of some major risk factors of PCOS. 15.9% (n=24) knew that PCOS can cause infertility, and 7.3% (n=11) said PCOS causes Anovulatory cycles. 41.7% knew that lifestyle modification can help reduce adverse effects of the syndrome.
Conclusion: the majority of study participants indicated decreased awareness of PCOS and its major risk factors, Hence there is a dire need for awareness as it is rather ignored.

Published: January 2023

Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) is one type of hormone that can stimulate plant growth. IAA hormone is able to accelerate plant growth, especially in the early stages of growth. IAA hormones are not always found in plants, one of which can be found in microorganisms. Rhizobacteria group have the ability to produce IAA hormones. This study aims to determine whether the IAA produced by Serratia marcescens strain MBC1 is able to accelerate the germination process of soybean seeds (Glycine max L.). The results of the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) giving the production of IAA Serratia marcescens strain MBC1 of 8.31 ppm and 9.35 ppm to soybean seed germination significantly increased root length and stem length. The increase in germination from the administration of IAA Serratia marcescens MBC1 was still smaller than the positive control using synthetic IAA with a concentration of 8 ppm which was able to significantly increase soybean germination.

Stability is the main quality characteristic of any drug product, it involves changes in physical, chemical and biopharmaceutical properties. The current work studied the stability of gentamicin (Gen) sulfate injection using HPLC, four samples of Gen were selected. Inj-I, Inj-II, Inj-III, and Inj-IV. The selected injections were stored at room temperature and analyzed at zero time then after three and six months. The analysis was achieved using reverse-phase chromatography with isocratic elution at a flow rate of 1.1 ml/min. Chromatography analysis was performed on the ODS (C8) column, 15× 0.45 cm, 5µm particle size, the column temperature was 30 ºC, and a manual injector with a 20 µl loop was used for the injection of the sample solution and mobile phase. The mobile phase was a mixture of methanol/water / glacial acetic acid/sodium 1-heptane sulfonate. The eluent was monitored with a UV-Detector at a wavelength of 330 nm with a flow rate of 1.1 ml/min. The results of the analysis showed that the pH values of all samples decreased slightly however, it was still within the acceptance range of USP. The influence of storage temperature on the degradation of the drug was evidenced whereas the Inj-I sample was the least degraded, while Inj-IV was the highest degraded sample. The accuracy was evaluated by the percent of recovery at three different concentrations in the range (99.38-100%), the precision of the method was satisfactory, and the values of relative standard deviation were less than 2%.

Authors: Agbonika John Alewo Musa , San Josephine A. A. Agbonika 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This paper examines the jurisdictional issues confronting tax enforcements, prosecution and other related issues. Jurisdiction over taxes administered at both the federal and state levels is determined by the legal personality of the taxpayer and place of residence for individuals. The Federal High Court, State High Courts and Tax Appeal Tribunal are vested with jurisdiction to hear and determine tax disputes. The Tax Appeal Tribunal is vested with jurisdiction to hear disputes arising from the operations of the Federal Inland Revenue Service. Tax disputes can be commenced either by the taxpayer or by the relevant tax authority. In practice, administrative channels within the relevant tax authority are usually the first step for resolution of tax disputes. Unresolved disputes proceed to the Tax Appeal Tribunal or Federal High Court, or where the tax is a State tax, to the State high court. The doctrinal research was used in carrying out this research.
Methodology: Both secondary and primary sourced materials such as textbooks, journals, internets, case laws etc. were used.
Finding: Finding reveals that there have been jurisdictional controversies confronting the constitutionality of TAT decision as well as the regular courts causing serious bottleneck for tax prosecutors.
Recommendation: It is recommended that in order to ensure tax compliance, effective resolution of tax disputes and proper administration of tax system, the issue of jurisdiction must be clearly spelt out.
