Psoriasis is a common chronic, recurrent, immune mediated disease of the skin and joints. It can have a significant negative impact on the physical, emotional and psychosocial wellbeing of affected patients. Many Ayurvedic texts have explained skin diseases, which resembles Psoriasis. According these references, Psoriasis can be considered as the vitiation of Vata and Kapha. The “wrong diet” is the major link for disease manifestation. Hence elimination of this „wrong diet‟ & implementation of corrective diet plays a major role in breaking the „Samprapti‟. The Dietary interventions for Psoriasis or any skin disease can have the following seven components- Nidana Parivarjana, Avashta anusara ahara sevana, Matra consideration, avoiding unwholesome diet, observing proper mental status during food intake, Prescription of specific disease related diet, and very important one- Education about Aahara. The article intends to uplift the importance of holistic approach towards diet prescription rather than only disease specific diet.

Employee retention relates directly to how we reward them. Replacing employees in a company can be an arduous and an expensive exercise. Even in more secure industries such as the public sector, performance needs to be managed and staff motivated as in the private sector. Retention of experienced staff in both these industries is important to create competitive advantage and organisational success is restricted by the economic climate, retaining high performers with rewards has to be achieved while making all staff feel valued. As more and more organisations cross international boundaries to conduct business, rewards that are relevant in one country may not be as important in another. Organisations need to accurately measure and evaluate the performance of their employees and reward them accordingly. There should therefore be a direct link between a performance appraisal system and rewards emanating from that system. Many a time, performance management systems do not show any connection with the rewards that the employer gives to its employees thus rendering the performance approval system irrelevant.

The current clinical study was planned to assess the efficiency of Jeemootakaphala Avapeedaka and Pradhamana Nasya in Kosthashakhashrita kamala. The study was completed on 30 patients diagnosed with Kosthashakashrita kamala of either sex, among the age faction of 20 to 60 years who were arbitrarily chosen. The patients were categorized into 2 groups i.e Group A & group B. Jeemootaka phala Avapeedaka Nasya was given to group A, while Jeemootaka phala Pradhamana Nasya was administered in group B. The dosage of Nasya was -1.5 ml in every nostril in group A, 65 mg in every nostril in group B. The evaluation was made before the treatment and after treatment. Patients were followed up after 7 days of Nasya. Hence whole study period was 15 days. Both Nasya showed considerable improvement in Kosthashakhashrita kamala. Clinical efficiency of group A was better than to group B however statistically both groups showed similar efficacy.

Abstract: The present study examined the associations and age-related development of motivational climate, achievement goals, enjoyment, technical skills, and body mass index (BMI) in young floorball players. The sample comprised 283 Finnish competitive male floorball players with a mean age of 11.49 ± .27 years in the beginning of the data collection. Players completed floorball-specific technical skill tests and questionnaires across two time points, twelve months apart. The path model showed that perceptions of task-involving climate positively associated with mastery-approach, performance-approach, and enjoyment, whereas perceptions of ego-involving climate related with mastery- and performance-approach and mastery- and performance-avoidance. The results indicated that players with higher BMI had higher mastery-avoidance and slower dribbling skill scores. However, the findings supported previous findings, as a player can have high mastery-approach and high performance-approach or high performance-avoidance at the same time. Finally, mastery- and performance-approach, performance-avoidance, dribbling skills, and passing test scores increased over time. In contrast, perceptions of task- and ego-involving climate, mastery-avoidance, enjoyment, and BMI remained stable. The findings indicated that task-involving coaching methods could enhance approach goals and enjoyment in young floorball players. All young floorball players, especially players with higher BMI could benefit, if they were encouraged to spend more time with a wide range of fundamental skill practices on their leisure time, not only during the organized sessions. This could increase their floorball-specific skills, and in turn, decline the negative perceptions of mastery-avoidance.

Abstract: Background: Lung cancer is a type of cancer that arises in the lungs. Adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma are the two major subtypes of non-small cell lung carcinoma. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Pathology, over a period of 1 year at a tertiary care hospital and teaching centre. A total of 125 cases comprising of 70 adenocarcinomas and 55 squamous cell carcinomas of lung were included in the study. Result: All 27 cases of well differentiated Adenocarcinoma were negative for P40 and 1 case showed positive P63 expression. Out of 43 cases of moderately differentiated Adenocarcinoma, 1 case was positive for P40 and 4 cases were positive for p63. Out of 19 cases of well differentiated Squamous cell carcinomas 18(94.7%) cases were positive for P40 and 18 (94.71%) cases were P63 positive. All 36 (100%) cases of moderately differentiated Squamous cell carcinoma showed positive P40 and P63 expression. Conclusion: Strong and diffuse P40 expression was noted in majority of lung squamous cell carcinomas and absence of P40 in most of the lung adenocarcinomas. Thus, p40 is an excellent marker for distinguishing lung squamous cell carcinoma from adenocarcinoma, and that its expression is equivalent to that of p63 in lung squamous cell carcinoma. Since P63 shows variable expression in lung adenocarcinomas; in moderately differentiated cases, a two-panel approach of p63 and p40 help to distinguish adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinomas.

This work is aimed at examining the effect of heavy metal concentration on surface water quality. This study was concentrated on the lower Niger River from Illah through Asaba/Onitsha to Okpai (Lat 6o 25' to Lat 5o 40' N and longitude 6o 37' to 6o 47' E). The data collected from water and were analyzed for the heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Fe, Mn and Co) using urican 929 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results showed that Turbidity, BOD, TSS, hydrocarbon, coliform, magnesium and iron concentrations in the sampled settlement did not meet the WHO (2010) threshold for drinking water quality. The following conclusions were reached; the Niger River water must be treated before drinking, to remove or reduce the amount of non-essential or essential heavy metal and eating of fish species that have bio-accumulated heavy metals above the WHO limits for consumption must be prohibited or discouraged. Also, further studies should be carried out to monitor the heavy metal concentration in the lower Niger River and to identify the point sources of entry; and various contributors to the contamination of the River Niger. Heavy metals have however been grouped into two categories – Essential and Non-Essential. Zinc, Iron, Manganese, Copper and Cobalt are essential and beneficial elements but become toxic when their concentrations exceed those required for normal life Lead, Arsenic, Beryllium, and Mercury are non-essential and are not required in biological systems because they are toxic. The following recommendations were made; frequent environmental monitoring (at least twice a year) must be conducted to know levels of heavy metals contamination especially of the aquatic systems; Education of the neighbouring populace on protection of the environment through various technical programmes may very useful; The Niger River water must be treated before drinking, to remove or reduce the amount of non-essential or essential heavy metal such as Cr and Fe; The eating of fish species that have bio accumulated heavy metals above the WHO limits for consumption must be prohibited or discouraged; Further studies should be carried out to monitor the heavy metal concentration in the lower Niger river and to identify the point sources of entry; but, the result of this study should form the baseline data for the assessment of the various contributors to the contamination or otherwise of the River Niger. Thus, the pollution trends in the future can easily be monitored.

The study is an ecotoxicological evaluation of commercial fish farm in Ogbogoro (OGB), Rivers State Nigeria using anatomical/macro morphological assessment of Clarias gariepenus, and African Aquaculture Centre (ARAC) as a the reference site. The sampling involved harvesting of table-sized fish: twenty fishes from OGB and ten fishes from ARAC. The gross anatomy (fish necropsy) involved the determination of Fish Biometry (Condition factor, CF and Organosomatic Indices, OSI) and Health assessment index (HAI). Showed that: fishes from OGB were less healthy based on the CF; OGB were less Healthier based on OSI; OGB fishes were less Healthier based on HAI when compared to fishes from ARAC. It was concluded from the study that the fishes from Ogbogoro fish farm had certain level of pollution though considered to be moderate at the time of the study.

Abstract: Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia. The Prospecutive study was conducted between June 2017 to June 2018 among icteric neonates in Maternity and Children Hospital, Nejran, Saudi Arabia. A total of 200 icteric neonates were included in study, who were admitted in nursery during study period. Each baby was tested for Complete blood count, Reticulocyte count, ABO and Rh blood types, Direct antiglobin test and quantitative G6PD estimation. Out of 200 icteric neonates 56( 28%) were found to be G6PD deficient and 144 (72%) had normal enzyme activity.38.7% were males and 12.3% were females among G6PD deficient neonates. Fisher exact test is 0.00 which is highly significant as p<0.001. None of them had kernicterus. Haemoglobin and Reticulocyte count in G6PD deficient neonates is statistically significant as p<0.01as compared to G6PD normal neonates. Since the Prevalence of G6PD deficiency in our neonates was relatively high. Early detection of this enzymopathy regardless of sex and close surveillance of affected newborn may be important in reducing the risk of severe hyperbilirubinemia.

Reform of educational institutions is an ongoing process which constantly molds and refits curricula, teaching methodologies, and infrastructures to new content and shapes in order to meet the needs of continuously changing communities. Congruent with such statement, Morocco, as other states elsewhere, has undergone several reforms the last of which was in the academic year 2003/2004 with the introduction of the LMD system (Licence, Master, and Doctorate) to higher education. Such reform and its influence on English language teaching are the main concern of the current study. Informed by policy documents and evidence drawn from qualitative data collected through means of observations and interviews of students at Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences, Sais, Fez, the study revealed that, on the one hand, the new reform has brought an innovative curriculum; however, a number of acute problems impeded the effectiveness of the reform. The problems were mainly linked to lack and poor educational infrastructures, insufficient coverage of some subjects (say, ESP), and the lack of student academic advising program which is necessary for students to develop self-autonomy. The cumulative effects were high attrition rates and repetitions, poor learning outcomes, and generally mismatch between the goals of the reform and its outcomes.

In the present investigation the chemical effect on colour fastness of Phyllanthus muellerianus dyed wool was studied. Samples were assessed in terms of the colour fading to spotting with dilute hydrochloric acid, with 56% acetic acid, steeping for two minutes at room temperature in 28% ammonium hydroxide without rinsing, exposed to concentrated ammonia fume for 24 hours and spotting with 10% sodium carbonate and calcium hydroxide respectively. Contact with dilute hydrochloric acid brings about significant changes in the color and fastness properties of natural dyed wool yarn. The colours however, remain stable after exposure or contact with alkalis and 56% acetic acid. It can be concluded that Phyllanthus muellerianus dyed wool fabric have good colour fastness to perspiration and except with mineral acids.

The Cameroon Public service is a blend of the moral and cultural values that were inherited in British and French systems of administration along with the desire put in by the different administering authorities to cope with the demands of time. Unfortunately, this blend even in the era of modern technology with improved tools of communication has not completely destroyed the ligaments of financial crimes and scandals that have encumbered this department. Going by reachable evidences, in the heat of economic crises that warranted the introduction of broad based structural adjustment Programmes, Cameroon ranked twice as most corrupt country in the world. Again, most of the top officials (ministers and directors) that have served the different departments of the public service have been judged and sentenced for differential durations in prisons due to financial crimes.The questions that beg for convincing answers are; why is the Cameroon public service department still bedevilled by financial crimes inspite of the measures put in place to assure transparency? What are these crimes and what is their impact on national and international dealings? From primary and secondary sources complimented with statistical and oral interviews, this paper argues that the near absence of blueprint etiquettes along with administrative lapses is at the root of these financial crimes. It uses the way accountability was assured in the management of Southern/West Cameroon budget as model to argue that; with a determined will churned from endearing etiquettes, the financial crimes alive in the Cameroon public service can be reduce to the barest minimum or at best, eliminated. It posits that in an era of modern technology, moral etiquettes that express themselves in an astute art of private and public righteousness of financial management is required of state authorities. By so doing, it makes a claim which is not only valid for Cameroon but also for every state and institution suffocating under the spell of financial crimes that, much can be redeemed using the model provided.

Grain starch in general has wide array of applications in industry, food preparation, paper surface coating and textiles. Many of the important functional properties of starch including the emulsion capacity, water and oil absorption, least gelation concentration and foaming capacity can be substantially improved from physical and chemical modifications. In this review, current and advances in grain starch modification technology was examined and the functional properties compared with the unmodified sample. Chemical modifications such as crosslinking starch granules with variety of cross-linkers such as citric acid improved the functional properties of acha starch significantly. The least gelation concentration (LGC) increased from 6% to 8% and the pasting viscosity also decreased to 25Cp Other chemical modification techniques examined include oxidation and acid treatment or mild hydrolysis. Several starch oxidizing agents were reviewed and the effect of sodium hypochlorite (3% active chlorine) on acha starch was compared to the native starch. Oxidation further reduced the pasting viscosity of native sample from 30Cp to 20Cp whilst the least gelation concentration was also reduced to 6%. Acid treatment affected the pasting viscosity of acha starch substantially (15Cp) whilst the LGC increased to 14%. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of modified samples showed effects on starch granule morphology

Background: Like in other developing countries, cancer of cervix is one of the leading malignancies in women in Nepal. In Nepal cervical pap-smear screening is not done my most of woman due to lack of awareness. The objective of this study is to find the prevalence of abnormal cervical epithelial lesions. This was a retrospective study of 396 conventional cervical Pap smears reported from the Department of Pathology, Birat Medical College in Biratnagar, Nepal. The time period was from March 2016 to March 2018. We used Bethesda system to report our all our slides. We used the pap stain to use the slide. All the case was reviewed by consultant pathologist of Birat medical college. Total cases were 396 in two year period in which 396 cases were satisfactory for evaluation and 20 cases were unsatisfactory for evaluation which is due to thick neutrophilic exudates, mucous, degenerative cells and hemorrhage. Out 0f 396 cases 7 cases is ASCUS that is 1.76%,4 cases is LSIL that is 1.01%,3 cases is HSIL that is 0.75%,1 cases is SCC that is 0.25%.Negative for intraepithelial lesion and malignancy is 381 that is 98.21%

Employees are the major drivers of any form of business and good employee performance is the most important need for the current competitive business environment to run successfully. Many organisations have started to attach a great emphasis towards the attitudes of workers towards the various instruments they use for performance appraisals. Performance Management and Performance Appraisal are very important tools; it helps to motivate employees to work hard and improves overall company’s productivity. The need to design instruments that motivate the employees through the entire of performance management process cannot be overemphasized.
