Recent attempts have been made to prove that honey is also a comparable fixative for cytological specimens. It is a natural organic product, odorless and not known to cause any disease. Secondly it is relatively cheaper and not prone to be mishandled, making it an efficient contender for use as a fixative. Our results, therefore, confirmed that honey can safely be used as an alternate to alcohol in cytology specimens. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) is a useful diagnostic aid in benign and malignant lesions. The diagnostic accuracy of FNAC depends on the sampling technique, fixative used, and quality of staining and of course the meticulosity of interpretation by the pathologist. The widely used fixative in this procedure is 95 % Alcohol which although readily available, has a number of limitations for use. It is expensive and hence subject to pilferage. Also, it is a volatile liquid with an irritant smell and is said to be carcinogenic. In this study, we analyzed and compared the efficacy of cytological smears fixed in 95% alcohol and 20% honey solution. The results of our study showed no statistical significant difference in the fixative properties of honey and alcohol.

Meloxicam is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent and having multiple pharmacological activities have been reported. In the present article involve the development of chitosan nanoparticles of meloxicam and have been subjected to stability test at various pH, drug release study, in vivo pharmacokinetics in wistar rats, and investigated the decreasing the growth of colon cancer cells. Chitosan nanoparticles of meloxicam such as F1 and F2 have shown anticancer activity against HT29 cell lines. Furthermore,. The nanoparticles were in the size range between 170 nm and 220 nm.

Mauritanian classroom has been regarded as male public space. This has affected the academic achievement of female students, which in turn is likely to influence negatively their social, economic and political visibilities. As such, females’ participation in the classroom activities becomes an inviting topic to be explored. The current study, thereby, aims to unveil the reasons of highly inhibited and highly exuberant female students in the classroom. In so doing, observations and interviews were carried out on 8 students studying at the Modern University of Nouakchott. The findings revealed that inhibition, depreciation of participation, devaluation of speech in mixed environment, peers’ negative comments, and distant and/or female professors, were the main factors hindering female students’ participation. Factors that have been rated as strong promoters of participation, however, were: positive perception of participation, “modern thinking,” wellrounded knowledge about the topic, the type of topic studied, accessible professors, and learner-centered approach.

The emerging economies like India where more than 60% of the population lives in the rural areas, should ensure adequate access to the financial products and services to all the individuals in the country. The launch of the Prime Minister Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) a revolutionary financial inclusion program in August 2014 to bring access to formal financial services to all the India’s population has led to the opening of around 2.8 billion bank accounts till March 2017. The access to the financial products is expected to change the investment and savings behavior of the rural households. The present study focuses on understanding the factors influencing the investment behaviour of households in rural India, where majority of the population lives. In addition to the socio economic factors, the study also considers the impact of the level of financial literacy on the investment behaviour. The study was conducted in the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh where the major occupation of the rural households is agriculture. Discriminant analysis is carried out to identify the factors influencing the investment behaviour of rural households. As Agriculture is the major occupation in rural India, the findings of the study will certainly help the government in encouraging the rural households for investing in financial products. The results of the study will also serve as a major input to the policy makers in channelizing the rural household savings into productive activities of corporate entities.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis infection in pregnant women in Setif region and to identify the main risk factors involved. The different parameters were collected by direct interviews and using standardized ELIFA technique for detecting the anti-toxoplasmic antibodies IgG / IgM and determining the immunological status of this sample. Our results showed a general lack of Toxoplasmosis awareness, a prevalence of 58% of seronegative pregnant women and 42% of seropositive women they may have risks of seroconversion as the case observed in our study. The statistical analysis confirmed that the consumption of undercooked meat is the main factor of contamination. This study has the advantage of setting up a serological monitoring of toxoplasmosis according to a legal framework with the aim of detecting and servile seronegative women, hence the importance of education and information in terms of prevention.

Organizational commitment is an important aspect influencing organizational growth and performance. Organizations face enormous challenges in understanding the commitment level of employees of different career stages. Depending on this understanding about the commitment level that organizations do undertake different measures for enhancing their commitment for improved organizational productivity. Therefore, understanding the commitment level of the employees corresponding to their career stages has emerged as an important dimension of human resource management these days. The changing business environment and its associated complexities have increased the necessity for a study on the effect of career stage on organizational commitment so as to enable the progressive organisations to be more proactive in addressing to the underlying issues associated with career stages and organizational commitment. This study is an endeavour to examine the effect of career stages on organizational commitment with respect to bank employees. The study which has been undertaken based on Super (1984) career stages and Meyer et al. (1993) organizational commitment scale, conducted upon 165 employees on three banks reveal that there exists a significant difference between affective commitment and employees career stages. Similarly, career stages also affect the continuance commitment of the employees significantly. Further, the study also found that no significant relationship exists between normative commitment and career stages. This implies that the organisations in order to get the commitment of the employees have to undertake measures to design effective organizational career planning programs.

The use of plants for the treatment of various diseases was recorded in the history. Many conventional medicines originate from plant sources: many decades ago, most of the few effective drugs were plant-based. Examples include quinine (from cinchona bark), digoxin (from foxglove), morphine (from the opium poppy) and aspirin (from willow bark). The discovery and development of new drugs from plant sources continues, with drug companies engaged in large-scale pharmacologic screening of herbs. Arthritis is a condition typically characterized by pain, aching, stiffness and swelling in and around one or more joints. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disorder in which the body's own immune system starts to attack body tissues. Ricinus communis, the castorbean or castor-oil-plant is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. Many authors have reported that the plant has promised Antioxidant activity, Antinociceptive activity, Antiulcer activity, Antiasthmatic activity, Anti-fertility activity, Antihistaminic Activity etc cited in literature review. The present study is aimed to evaluate the methanolic leaf extract of Ricinus communis for acclaimed anti-arthritic activity by using protein denaturation method. Diclofenac sodium is used as a standard drug. From the results of the present study it can be stated that the methanolic leaf extract of Ricinus communis at two different concentrations (250mcg/ml & 500mcg/ml) is capable of inhibiting the denaturation of protein in rheumatic disease.

To analyze the aerobic bacteria isolated from endotracheal secretions of ventilated patients and to evaluate the antibiotic sensitivity pattern and Multi drug resistance of those isolates, present study was conducted in M.D.M. Hospital, Dr. S. N. Medical College, Jodhpur, and Rajasthan, India. Endotracheal secretions received during the study period from Jan 2016 to April 2016 were processed and all the pathogenic isolates were identified as per the standard guideline. Antibiotic sensitivity was performed for the identified pathogens according to CLSI standards. Clinical condition of the ventilated and tracheotomised patients was recorded. A total of 160 Endotracheal isolates was processed and 114(71.25) of the aspirates was showing growth. The most frequently isolated pathogens were Klebsiella sp.(37.7%), Pseudomonas(18.4%), Esch. coli(15.7) and Acinetobacter sp.(10.5%) followed by Citrobactor sp., Staph. aureus, Proteus sp.. All the organisms more or less showed both sensitive and resistance pattern but Acinetobacter sp was resistant to all the antibiotics except the antibiotic imepenem and ciprofloxacin. This study presents the most common microorganisms colonized and their antibiotic resistance pattern. The variability of flora and the potential need to adjust antibiotic coverage based on culture data suggest that surveillance tracheal aspirates are important during exacerbations

In the current scenario herbal medicines became the main system for the treatment of many diseases. Because of the advancement in science and technology a huge number of plants were discovered having therapeutic capabilities to treat many deadly diseases and have gain importance and acceptance within the medical community. Among various diseases urolithiasis has been a common problem from various centuries. For the treatment of urolithiasis many synthetic drugs are available in the market but because of their side effects herbal remedies are widely accepted. Our present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential to treat urolithiasis (kidney stones) where cystone was used as a standard drug. The present study revealed that the leaves of Ricinus communis possess mild antiurolithiatic activity which might be due to the presence of various phytochemical constituents such as flavonoids, alkaloids, triterpenes etc.

Historical heritage holds outstanding values for humanity and so their sustainable management is paramount. Heritage management is requisite in ensuring the continuous survival of heritage sites for education, scientific research, and archeological discovery and leisure purposes. It helps maintain human societies and uphold enormous opportunities especially for tourism and socio-economic development. Today for instance, the heritage industry has become a dominant niche of the global tourism industry especially in the developing countries of Africa, Latin America and Asia. Yet, there is poor, absence of an up-to-date, proactive and sustainable management framework for the conservation and preservation of historical heritage monuments in Cameroon. The main objective of this study was to critically examine the management of historical heritage monuments in Cameroon and frame a green framework for their sustainable management. The study adopted a qualitative research design, case study approach and semi-structured interviews with experts in the collection of primary data blended with secondary materials from published sources including textbooks, scientific journal articles, reports, conference presentations and internet websites.

Sustained release formulations are becoming more popular now days for the delivery of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) because of their ability to maintain therapeutic effective drug concentration for prolonged duration with low dosing frequency and side effects associated with NSAIDs. The present study was attempted to develop Sustained release tablets of a model NSAID drug, Etodolac. Etodolac Sustained release tablets were prepared by Gellan Gum (A, mg), Sodium CMC (B, mg), Xyloglucan (C, ml), Xanthan Gum (D, ml), MCC (E, ml), Talc (F, rpm), Orange flavour (G, rpm), Aspartame (H, rpm), Magnesium stearate (I, rpm). The granules were evaluated for flow properties by evaluating bulk density, tapped density, Carr’s index, Hausner’s ratio and angle of repose. The tablets were evaluated for drug polymer compatibility study by FTIR, diameter, weight variation test, hardness, friability, disintegration test, SEM, Swelling Index, In vitro drug release, release kinetics, stability studies and Plackett-Burman Experimental Design was also applied to find the optimized formulation. The FTIR study revealed that no such interactions being taking place in between drug and polymers. The flow property of granules of all tablet batches was found to be good. All the tablet formulations had good tablet physiochemical properties. The swelling of the tablets was also found optimum. From the results of in-vitro study, it was concluded that Etodolac Sustained release tablet provided most sustained release of Etodolac over extended period of time with aid of greater stability.

Bio-slurry has potential value as good quality organic fertilizer and an agent of soil carbon sequestration through build up of soil organic matter level. Cowdung and poultry manure had the higher organic carbon content as well as higher nutrient concentration compared to Cow-dung and poultry bio-slurry. Nutrient concentration particularly N, P and S in CD and CB was found lower than the PM and PB. The highest carbon mineralization in Balina soil was found in poultry manure amended soil followed by cow dung, poultry bio-slurry and the lowest in cow dung bio-slurry. Carbon mineralization of manures in Noadda soil also followed the similar trend like Balina soil. However, Carbon mineralization of poultry manure and poultry bio-slurry was lower and cow dung and cow dung bio-slurry was higher in Noadda compared to Balina soil. Thus, decomposition of manure does not depend only on the quality of soil rather both the quality of manure and soil. Decomposition of manure was found slightly higher (around 5%) in Balina soil compared to Noadda soil when averaged over four manures. Among the manure, around three to four times less amount of CO2 was evolved during the decomposition of cow-dung and poultry bio-slurry as compared to cow-dung and poultry manure. Thus, this study indicate that soil application of bio-slurry had high potential in the mitigation of the greenhouse effect as well as short-term benefits in terms of improving soil organic matter stock, as compared to manure.
