Service is a very important activity in the academic, because this is a benchmark for the success of bureaucratic performance even college faculty. It is necessary to be noticed by the institution, because service activities are activities of direct interaction between employees and students. To improve service quality of academic and administrative, it must be managed well by the universities concerned. So the student satisfaction as a customer will be met, and ultimately the quality of higher education will increase as expected. In the academic service which includes all activities of lecturers, shows more than half of respondents said „good‟. Meanwhile, in the aspect of Administrative Services, based on a questionnaire, it can be concluded that the administrative aspects of the service is quite good.

Guaifenesin is an expectorant and it is use to treat cough and congestion caused by the common cold, bronchitis, and breathing illness. The drug is official in Indian Pharmacopoiea, British Pharmacopoeia, and United States Pharmacopoeias. This article reviews the different analytical methods available for detection of Guaifenesin alone and in combination from various pharmaceutical formulations. They are many analytical techniques have been reported for simultaneous estimation of Guaifenesin and its combined pharmaceutical dosage form but only fewer methods have been reported for estimation of Guaifenesin alone. Some of those techniques are UV spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatography (GC), and ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Amongst, various analytical methods are available for the quantification of single and multicomponent dosage forms

The present research was conducted to investigate the impact of English medium instructions on the dropout rate of students in high schools of Lahore. A total number of 30 Head teachers were selected as sample of study. It was studied that either change in the medium of instruction affects academic achievement of students or not. Survey method was used as a procedure for data collection. A self- developed structured five point likert scale questionnaire was used in order to get responses of the head teachers regarding change in the medium of instruction on dropout rates. Content analysis was carried out to analyze the responses. Frequencies showed that the change in the medium of instruction has an impact on students‘ dropout rate. Many previous studies are consisted with the findings of present research. These findings have implications for educational institutions, so that timely counseling could be provided to the students for effective coping with these problems.

A simple and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric assay for the measurement of bisphenol-A (BPA) in human urine was developed and validated. Sample preparation involved addition of 4-nitrophenol (as an internal standard, IS) to 1.0 ml human urine sample containing BPA, and extraction with ethyl acetate and hexane (6:4,v:v), evaporation, and dissolving the residue in the mobile phase. Analytes separation was performed using a reversed phase Atlantis dC18 column (2.1x 100 mm, 3 µm) protected by guard pre-filter and a mobile phase that consisted of 5.0 mM ammonium acetate: acetonitrile (20:80, v:v) and was delivered at a flow rate of 0.30 ml/min. The analytes were quantified in negative ion mode, using electrospray ionization (ESI) set at transitions of mass to charge (m/z): 226.87 → 212.01 and 137.84 → 107.86 for BPA and IS, respectively. The relationship between BPA concentration and peak area ratio (BPA /IS) was linear in the range 0.2 - 20 ng/ml. Mean extraction recovery of BPA and the IS was ≥ 90% and 97%, respectively. The method was validated in respect to accuracy, precision, linearity, and specificity. Stability of BPA in urine was determined under conditions generally encountered in the clinical laboratories. The method was successfully applied to determine BPA level in urine samples obtained from healthy volunteers

Adverse drug reactions are an important cause of morbidity and mortality and are responsible for a significant number of hospital admissions ranging from 0.3% to 11%. The ADR reporting rate in India is below 1% compared to worldwide rate of 5%. One of the reasons for low reporting rate in India may be a lack of knowledge and sensitization towards pharmacovigilance and ADR among health care professionals. The aim of the study is to investigate the knowledge, attitudes and perception of health care professionals towards adverse drug reaction reporting. A cross sectional study was carried out using a pretested questionnaire for a period of 6 months among 340 healthcare professionals. The questionnaire was designed to assess the KAP regarding pharmacovigilance. The healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, dentists and pharmacists), trainee and internship students working in the NMCH and RC, Raichur, Karnataka during the study period were included. About 300 questionnaires where returned which were adequately filled, of which 37% were doctors, 33% dentists, 17% nurses and 13% pharmacists. Mean knowledge score of doctors, dentist, nurses and pharmacists where 5.29±1.73, 4.9±1.13, 5.41±1.34 and 7.08±1.36 respectively. Mean attitude score of doctors, dentist, nurses, pharmacists were 4.87±1.29, 4.78±1.107, 4.53±1.24 and 5.84±1.02 Mean perception score of doctors, dentist, nurses and pharmacists were found to be 4.87±1.29, 4.78±1.107, 4.53±1.24 and 5.84±1.20. It was observed that most of the professionals were aware of ADR. They were having sound knowledge and positive attitude towards ADR reporting. But unfortunately the practice of ADR reporting where deficient among the health care professionals.

Chikungunya is still a diseases burden in India and various contries. The main objective of this review was to gather the outbreaks and it impacts and current treatment available for Chikungunya in allopathic and AYUSH. Key findings : Africa where Sylva tic cycle is maintained between monkeys and wild mosquitoes, in Asia the cycle continues between humans and the Aedes. aegypti mosquito. Virus was first isolated from Africa in 1952. In India first case were reported in Kolkata 1963. It can be diagnosed by various blood tests such as RT-PCR, ELISA, Serological test. The disease is almost self-limiting and rarely fatal. Common symptoms of Chikungunya are fever, joint pain (arthralgia), rashes etc Symptoms for Chikungunya and dengue as similar. In Allopathy no specific drug is available for the treatment of chikungunya. In AYUSH system of medicine various type of treatment are available. India has been reported major outbreak in 2005 -2006 mainly in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu since December, 2005. Cases have also been reported from Rajasthan, Gujarat and Kerala. Conclusion: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection can be prevented by avoiding mosquito bites and the young researchers have to take interest to contribute drugs and developments

From very old days to recent civilization, human species depends on most of the natural resources for smooth running of their life. In nature specifically plants has a key source of drugs and its remedies. Feronia Limonia belonging to family Rutaceae is well known in Indian traditional systems for its traditional uses. Various parts of the plant like leaves, fruits, roots, bark have an astringent, constipating, tonic for liver and lung, diuretic, carminative, and cardiotonic effect and these are traditional uses. Various chief phytoconstituents like alkaloids, phenolic compounds, triterpenoids, tannins, steroids etc. have been isolated from Feronia Limonia. But only few pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, antiviral, antitumour, antifungal etc. activities have been scientifically reported. From huge traditional uses documented in various traditional system of medicine and presence of vital phytoconstituents make Feronia Limonia an important plant to be studied scientifically to prove a variety of traditional uses. In present work we look at Feronia Limonia description, traditional medicinal uses, and phytoconstituents and anthelmintic activity of its leaves. Five concentrations (10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/ml) of aqueous extract of leaves Feronia Limonia were studied for an anthelmintic activity on adult Indian earthworms Pheretima Posthuma in a bioassay, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worms using Piperazine citrate as reference standard. The results indicated that 100 mg/ml concentration of Feronia Limonia leaves was more significant than that of other concentration

Cryptococcosis is a potentially fatal fungal disease. The prevalence of cryptococcosis has been increasing for many reasons, including the increase in incidence of AIDS and the expanded use of immunosuppressive drugs. Cryptococcal meningitis is a threatening disease and visual loss is reported as a rare manifestation due persistent papilledema and optic nerve involvement. We report a case of an immunocompetent young male who presented with cryptococcal meninigitis, left lateral rectus palsy and papilledema. Inspite of appropriate medical therapy with amphotericin and flucytosine, his papilledema persisted and developed decreased vision.

Unemployment is one of the main problems facing Algeria, due to their negative dimensions and serious consequences on the country’s economy and social life. Therefore, Algeria government has developed policies of employment concerning the category of young people; especially university graduates. This is resulting in a new version of labor, temporary labor instead of permanent labor; that represents an essential mechanism for integration and social cohesion. The objective of this paper is to investigate labor representation of the young university graduates category rather than their ambition realized from temporary labor. In this study, a conceptual framework is developed based on extend literature review and examination of data collected from 60 young university graduates working in public sector. Globally, there is a difference between female’s and male’s labor representation. Female labor is a way to self – realization and appreciation in the first confederation and them a means of financial independence. While for the male labor is festival way to salary then an obligation for society services. As a result of their ambitions, temporary labor may help to absorb unemployment rate especially for university graduate.

Knowledge Management (KM) is the process that deals with obtaining, processing, storing, disseminating and applying of information and knowledge within an organization to support and enhance its business performance and employee satisfaction. Financial institutions are realizing knowledge as a crucial resource in organization and should be managed judiciously. Despite the claims for positive relation between KM process and employee satisfaction in banking sector, few researchers have actually proved it. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to measure the effect of knowledge management practices on employee satisfaction of banking sector in Nepal. In this study, a sample of 385 respondents was selected randomly from four different types of financial institutions of Kathmandu, Nepal. Statistical analysis was done to draw the conclusion. The results clearly showed that components of KM process (KM obtaining, KM organizing & KM applying) had positive relation with the organizational performance measured in terms of employee satisfaction.

Abstract: This is a quasi-experimental method of research aimed to create electronics gadget voltage time delay device for protection of electrical appliances from power spike due to brownouts at affordable cost. Result showed a fluctuation of voltage, current, and power but is ideal based on the three percent voltage drop in a line. The mean temperature for the three treatments in all replicate was normal base on the maximum temperature of the magnetic contactor which is 1000C. The device was used for electronics instruction where the performance of the students was improved based on the pretest and posttest scores. The reliability of the test based on the posttest result was 0.75 interpreted as good which means that the assessment instrument is good; however, there are probably few items which could be improved. Testing the hypothesis of no significant correlation between the pretest and the post test at 0.01 and 0.05 levels of significance, researcher failed to provide sufficient evidence to accept the null hypothesis. The knowledge and skills obtained by the students on the different processes involved during the fabrication of the device can help to engage entrepreneurial activity to augment poverty alleviation.

This study examined whether a selected African stock exchanges provide evidence of weak form efficiency in the recent time period January 2013 to December 2015. Two objectives examined were the normality of distribution of stock prices in African stock markets; and to ascertain whether current values of the stock prices are related to various lags of the past stock prices in African stock markets. The study covered 13 out of the 28 stock exchanges in Africa, representing 38 nations' capital markets. The Jarque-bera statistics test of normal distribution and Augmented Dicker Fuller test of stationarity for stock market efficiency were employed. The data obtained from the monthly All Share Index data of the markets are log transformed to arrive at stock market returns used for the data analyses. Findings from the result indicate that (1) African stock market follows normal distribution; (2) succeeding price changes are not independent and move randomly in African stock markets. The study concluded that African stock markets are weak form inefficient within the period under study. The study therefore recommended that addressing trading frictions; promoting timely disclosure and dissemination of information to investors on the performance of listed companies; and strengthening regulatory oversight are key elements of a strategy aimed at improving the efficiency of the capital market.

Understanding the relationship between environmental pollution and economic development is of great importance for achieving sustainable growth. It is particularly important for managing watershed regions, where rapid urbanization can cause significant environmental damage. This study aimed to determine the relationships between urbanization, economic growth, industrial structure and nitrogen emissions in the Jishui River Basin from 1997 to 2013. Based on the raw data, a vector auto-regression model was built, and the data were analyzed using the Johnson cointegration test, the Granger causality test, impulse response function analysis and variance decomposition analysis. The results showed that there was a long-run equilibrium relationship and a one-way causality between the four variables in the Jishui River Basin. The effects of economic growth and industrial structure on nitrogen emissions were significantly stronger than the effect of urbanization levels. In the long run, economic growth and industrial structure had a strong explanatory power for nitrogen emissions, and the contribution of urbanization levels, economic growth and industrial structure to nitrogen emissions showed some hysteresis. This study clarifies the main drivers of changes in environmental pollution in the Jishui River Basin, and provides a scientific basis for urban development models and regulation of industrial growth.

The author’s earlier publications have shown the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) of the original drug material in all the higher dilutions of homeopathic drugs; viz, Lycopodium and Ferrummetallicum. The present study is to compare the two different scales of potencies discovered by Samuel Hahnemann; with the help of HRTEM and EDS. It is found that:- i) all the high dilutions (HDs) of Natrummuriaticum (Nat mur) contain NPs; ii) the size of NPs is within quantum dots (QD) size range, except for 6C, where larger particles are found (14nm); iii) NPs contain Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl)in various weight percentages; iv) The smallest NPs in higher concentration are present in 50 millesimal (LM) scale; v) The weight percentage of Na and Cl is very high (more than 99%) in all the potencies of LM scale except in LM6.The combined weight percentage of Na and Cl is less than 1% in all centesimal scale of potencies except in CM, where it is 1.09%; vi) The presence of elements other than Na and Cl is many in centesimal scale. The presence of other elements has been negligible in LM scale and vii) The comparative analysis shows that LM scale HDs are rich in the NPs than in centesimal scale HDs.

Being potential entrepreneurs, students need to see their entrepreneurial potential grow. This is attained through a set of personal resources (knowledge, experiences, skills, relationships, aptitudes) that are useful for entrepreneurial action. Thus university is a full player in the success of young people in the entrepreneurial path. But entrepreneurship is a process that can be studied by linear sequences including that of upstream business creation or the entrepreneurial spirit. Understanding the correlations between education and this later was the main concern of this study. To achieve this, we have repositioned this problematic within a framework of the social dimensions of entrepreneurship model and that of planned behavior. The study on a survey control sample, particularly chosen in the social sciences, showed that desirability is a variable that is little influenced by the study branches. On the other hand, it is at the level of feasibility that the study paths have a significant impact on the entrepreneurial action. Finally, we put these results into perspective to understand the future behavior of the respondents. This feasibility variable is therefore an important factor in the choice of careers for students.
