In rural areas, goats contribute to the reduction of malnutrition through their production of milk and meat. A review of the zootechnical and reproductive performance of goat breeds in Benin was made from ninety (90) articles, papers and documents related to these goat breeds. The main data concern the taxonomy of goats, their origin, the importance of goat rearing, the description and zootechnical parameters of the goat breeds encountered in Benin. The main local goat breeds encountered in Benin were the dwarf or Djallonke, the Sahelian breed and the red goat of Maradi. The exotic breeds mentionned in this paper concern the Alpine and the Saanen breeds. The zootechnical and reproductive performances varied from one goat race to another, but satisfactory overall. It is worth to focus on the breeding of these short-cycle species in order to meet the ever increasing demand for meat products. Alternatives for improving the performance of local breeds in crossing with exotic breeds constitute some ways to explore in order to boost the production of milk and meat goats in Benin.

Questionnaires are distributed in three cities that represent the most visited places by tourists in Indonesia. According to the statistical calculation, the amount of sample that can be used is 167 people. The results reveal that some aspects significantly influence the destination image. The influencing aspects are lodging facility, quality of food and relaxation experiences. This finding implies that there should be some improvements in lodging facilities, the quality of food and relaxation experiences to enhance the destination image.

HIV-related cutaneous manifestations are very common and can be easily detected. If studied systematically, they can serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers. It is aimed to study the skin biopsies of various dermatological manifestations that occur in HIV seropositive patients attended to a tertiary care centre. This is a prospective study of cases of 104 were studied histopathologically who were Seropositive for HIV. Majority are of 31- 40 years (32.69%), and closely followed by the age group 21-30 years (28.84 %). Patients of both sexes were affected with males females ratio of 1.19:1. The most common cutaneous manifestation observed was Papulosquamous lesions with 37.5% cases and in this 53.84% cases were pruritic papular urticaria. Infections observed were 25%, among which majority were of bacterial infections. Drug reactions were observed in 15.3% of cases and majority of patients presented with Stevens Johnson syndrome. Dermatitis was seen in 11.53% of patients and seborrheic dermatitis is the common non-infectious dermatosis. Other cutaneous manifestations like vascular involvement, neoplasms contributed minority of cases. Most of the patients presented with cutaneous manifestations having CD4 count in the range of 350-500. It was conclude that the dermatological lesions are extremely common and may present with early, severe, unusual and atypical manifestations in the course of HIV infection. Awareness of the varied pattern of these manifestations would help in the early diagnosis and management of HIV infection, which would in turn decrease the morbidity and improve the quality of life of HIV-infected patients.

Performance management is the process by which organisations set goals, determine standards, assign and evaluate work, and distribute rewards. But when you operate across different countries and continents, performance management strategies cannot be one dimensional. HR managers need systems that can be applied to a range of cultural values. This paper briefly looks at the various perspectives on this phenomenon.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is one of the important causes of hepatitis in developing countries. It is transmitted through feco-oral route. They pose major health problems. To determine the prevalence of HAV in patients presenting with acute viral hepatitis. Serum samples of the patients presenting with fever, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice were collected and analyzed by using commercially available RecombiLISA ELISA kit for the detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) against HAV. A 20 months retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Shri M. P. Shah Govt. Medical College, Jamnagar, Gujarat (India). Of the 532 serum samples subjected to RecombiLISA ELISA for detection of anti-HAV IgM in patients, 157 (29.51%) were found to be positive. The prevalence was found to be more in male patients than in female patients, that is, 81(51.59%) and 76(48.41%), respectively, and was predominantly seen in the 6–15 years of the school-going age group. Peak cases were found in the monsoon season. Regular monitoring of clinical, serological and molecular characteristics would help in understanding the epidemiology of HAV and in planning the intervention studies.

This study was aimed at comparing the height predicted from ulna lengths in the adults (aged between 20 to 50 years old) from the two different ethnic groups. Analysis of stature of 600 healthy males and 600 females from Ikwerre and Kalabari ethnic groups, both in Rivers State, Nigeria, Height was measured using a stadiometer, while ulna length was taken with a sliding vernier calliper. The measurements were recorded in centimetres to the nearest 0.1 cm. A multiplication factor i.e ratio of the stature to the respective physical measurements was then calculated for each measurement. The multiplication factors were multiplied with the ulna length to give the estimated value which correlated with the measured stature. The mean male Ikwerre stature was 173.1 while the female was 160.77. The mean stature for Kalabari male was 166.83, while the female was 158.83. Correlation coefficient in the study for Ikwerre males is 0.96 and females 0.997 I and that of the Kalabari males is 0.996 and females 0.996. Regression coefficient for Ikwerre males is 7.89 and females 6.48 and that of Kalabari males is 6.31 and female 6.15. The observed data was subjected to „z‟ test for correlation coefficient. The value for „z‟ test was found to be statistically not significant. It was concluded that ulna length can be used as a surrogate in measuring height. Also, there was no significant difference in the stature of the two different tribes.

Abstract: Multiple myeloma is hematological malignancy characterized by a clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow secreting a monoclonal immunoglobulin. Approximately 20% of patients with newly diagnosed myeloma present with renal failure and it is the second most common cause of death in these patients. This study was undertaken to review the spectrum of cases of myeloma from an exclusive renal centre. Renal disease was present in all patients before myeloma was diagnosed. All the 36 patients showed 'M'spike in serum electrophoresis and deranged renal function. Renal diseases consisted of mainly of acute renal failure (51%), chronic renal failure (36%) and nephrotic syndrome (13%). Thus, acute renal failure is the most common renal disease preceding the diagnosis of myeloma. Hence it is necessary to look for potential renal impairment in myeloma patients as reversal of renal function can be achieved with chemotherapy and hemodialysis treatment.

With computer operations and mobile device technologies expanding, mobile cloud computing has been shaping up as the future of web-based communications. Data security has consistently been a major issue which restricts the further development in mobile cloud. Many measures have been undertaken to improve in cloud computing. As the mobile devices have finite resource and power most of the studies on cloud computing are not convenient on mobile devices. Hence it becomes requisite to diminish the computational overhead in mobile cloud computing. In this paper we come up with a scheme called as light weight data secure sharing scheme for mobile cloud. It embraces CP-ABE which is one of the most suitable technologies for data access control in cloud storage system but alters the framework of access control tree to make it appropriate for mobile cloud environments. External proxy servers are being introduced to reduce the computational overhead on mobile device. Attribute description fields are used to implement lazy revocation which depletes the user revocation cost. The investigational outcome unveils that LDSS is capable to decrease the overhead issues on the mobile device when the data is being shared in mobile cloud environment.

In the present study, four medicated soaps: Dettol, Protex, Dermoviva, and AB+ were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp and Candida albicans. Marseille soap was used as control. The antimicrobial effectiveness of selected medicated soaps was determined using paper disc and well methods. Soaps tested in the present research work showed varied levels of activity against the tested microbes. Among them, AB+ was the most active product, while Protex showed the lowest activity against the tested organisms’ species.

The study examined the prevalence of HIV among pregnant women in three selected hospitals in Port Harcourt namely; military hospital, St. Margaret maternity home and El-Joe dam specialist hospital. This study was aimed at determining the Prevalence of HIV/AIDS among pregnant women in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The population of the study was all the pregnant women that registered for antenatal at the three selected hospitals. The sample size was 400 randomly selected. 300 pregnant women were sampled at Military hospital, 50 each at St. Margaret maternity home and EL-Joe dam specialist hospital. The “prevalence of HIV /AIDS a close-ended questionnaire” used to collect data. The results were tabulated. The blood sample for the test was collected by vein puncture into EDTA. The confirmatory test was done using ELISA, PCR and western blot Methods. A relatively high number of seropositive women fell in the age brackets of 30-34 which is 42.11% years while the least prevalence was between the ages of 20-24 years. Out of the four hundred (400) subjects screened thirty–eight seropositve which can be translated to a prevalence of 9.5% in Port Harcourt. The research work indicates that there is high HIV prevalence among pregnant women more especially during their sexual active age. The finding of this work is not at variance with work done in other parts of the world, based on the literature review. The research work indicates that there is HIV prevalence among pregnant women.
