The purpose of the study was to establish the extent to which school feeding programmes influence performance of learners in primary school education in Baringo County. The study concludes that feeding programs enhance pupil’s participation in class assignment duties and discussion. There are only a few meals provided during the day hence pupil do not fully participate in class work rendering to low performance, the healthy pupils in the center are always active and perform well in the exam and a feeding program is important than other factors towards the improved performance. The findings of this study may be of use to the various primary schools for it would assist them understand better the issues related to school feeding programmes. This would see school managers in the various centres provide learners with balanced feeding programs and create awareness to parents on its importance to proper learning and holistic development of their children. The study would also go a long way to helping the government in making relevant policy to safeguard the wellbeing of primary school learners by providing well-balanced feeding programs to these centres as well as budgetary allocation to the same.

The present study examined the anticonvulsant activity of the methanol stem bark extract of PK in mice and day old chicks against maximal electroshock (MES), pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), picrotoxin (PIC), and strychnine (STR) induced seizures. The CNS depressant ability of the extract was also investigated using diazepam-induced sleep test, and it was observed to significantly and dose dependently increase the sleep duration in the diazepam sleep test. The extract and fractions significantly and dose dependently increase the latency to onset of seizure in the PTZ and picrotoxin tests. In the strychnine test, the extract significantly increased the latency to seizure onset at the highest dose of 200 mg/kg, though none of the mice was protected from seizure as was the case with PTZ and PIC induced seizures. Considering the overall effect of PK, it may be concluded that the extract contains bioactive principles acting via enhancement of GABA inhibitory activity, and a second possibility via antagonism of the glutamate-NMDA receptors

We conducted the study to find out the influence of Depressive Disorder (DD) on attention among undergraduate students of Southern Taraba State. Eighty-four (84) undergraduate students drawn from Wukari and Ibbi Local Government Areas of Taraba State participated in the survey. Subjects filled the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Data collected was analyzed using Pearson’s r and the finding showed that there is a significant negative relationship between DD and attention in learning, r = -.505, p < 0.0001. In the survey sample, the degree of the effects of the levels of depressive disorder (Borderline – Severe) on attention does not significantly differ, F (3, 49) = 2.668, p = 0.058. Over 63% of the sample was identified as having depressive symptoms ranging from borderline to severe. Following these findings, we concluded that DD negatively affect attention in learning among the study sample and thus, recommended that the university management through the guidance and counselling unit should provide necessary professional psychological help to students that reported the symptoms of DD.

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.

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.

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.

In the past 15 years, awareness concerning natural changes was evidently expanding among population and industries. International agencies and national governments have expanded their endeavors concerning natural resources depletion, ozone depletion, gas emissions and waste reduction. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to examine the existing literature on the relationship between just-in-time (JIT), total productive maintenance (TPM), total quality management (TQM) and organisational performance. In total, 20 articles were empirically reviewed, all published in peer-reviewed journals between 2014 and 2018. The articles are analysed in terms of several general variables such as type of research and theoretical viewpoint, and the perspective taken on organisational criteria. The empirical reviewed indicated that JIT, TPM and TQM, maintained by human resource practices, have a significant prospective to develop the organisational performance. However, a simultaneous implementation of JIT, TPM and TQM does not certainly lead to greater performance. As prospective purpose for this, human resources are viewed as restrictive factor both improvement programs draw on. Therefore, this limited resource is acknowledged as vital element with respect to organisational performance when implementing JIT, TPM and TQM concurrently.

Abstract: Main objective of this study is to utilize Agro wastes instead of pure sugars for cellulases productions. It was noted that maximum fungal cell growth was obtained 0.936g/100ml of Aspergillus niger was observed at pH 4.11 in hydrolyzed rice husk used as carbon source. Aspergillus niger was isolated from the soil of Khairpur. The collection and utilization of suitable Agro wastes used as a carbon source for cellulases production by fungi requirements optimized fermentation process. Five agricultural wastes were measured for cellulolytic enzyme production using pretreatment methods acid. Acid pretreatment was found to be the most efficient and best method for higher enzyme production. Using this cheap and renewable residue, for cellulolytic enzyme production by Aspergillus niger boosts its economic value which is not comparable with its current use as animal feed. Agro wastes such as sugarcane peelar bagasse, sugarcane bagasse, banana fruit stalk, sorghum husk and rice husk were hydrolyzed with 0.6N HCl. Rice husk was found good substrate in comparison to other Agro wastes for the growth of Aspergillus niger and cellulases production. Maximum activity of cellulases were noted 4.811 (units/ml). The Cellobiase and salicinase maximum production 4.717 and 4.742 units per ml obtained at 240 hours respectively.

All this time many parties including parents do not care about the distribution of healthy information on sexual content to their adolescents so that many of them look for the information through social media. Right now the spread of websites with pornographic content occurs in social media including YouTube. This research aims at knowing the perception of adolescents on pornographic content in social media in relation to the influence of media information or the attitude of parents. It is the quantitative research with survey methods and data analysis using path analysis. The research results indicate that the attitude of parents on pornographic content in social media, YouTube gets influence from media information, and the perception of adolescents on pornographic content in social media YouTube gets influence from the attitude of their parents as well as media information gets influence the perception of adolescents on pornographic content in social media, YouTube. To avoid the negative impact of pornographic content in social media, parents should be more care about their adolescents particularly the planting of strong foundation on morality and religious teaching concepts to them.

Abstract:Thyroid hormones have many important biological functions in our body. One of the major functions is control of the basal metabolic rate and calorigenesis. Thyroid dysfunction causes remarkable changes in glomerular and tubular functions. In recent studies, it was found that hypo and hyperthyroidism associated with renal derangement resulting in abnormal serum creatinine and uric acid levels. Thus, this study was conducted for estimation and observation of changes in urea and creatinine in subclinical hypo and hyperthyroidism.Total 90 subjects were included in the study. Out of which 30 cases were clinically diagnosed subclinical hypothyroid patients and 30 were subclinical hyperthyroid, remaining 30 were controls. Triiodothyronine (T3),Thyroxine(T4), and TSH were estimated by fully automated Beckman coulter Access-2 analyser. Urea, uric acid and creatinine parameters were measured using automated clinical chemistry analyser. Statistical data analysis was performed by using SPSS 18.2 software. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism showed significant increase in serum uric acid and creatinine levels (p<0.0001) and patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism showed significant decrease in serum creatinine levels (p<0.0001). When correlated with TSH, serum creatinine showed positive correlation where it has negative for serum uric acid in case of SC hypothyroidism cases. For SC hyperthyroid cases, correlation was negative for serum creatinine and uric acid levels.The overall result of our study indicate that the urea, creatinine, uric acid levels were significantly impaired in subclinical hypo and hyperthyroidism. Therefore, we would emphasize the importance of the routine evaluation of these biochemical parameters in thyroid disorders.

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.
