This research examined 12 factors most associated with and predictive of corporate strategy execution in the United Arab Emirates’ steel manufacturing industry. It embraced a positivism research philosophy and quantitative methodology through respondent surveys (n = 112) and a case study (n = 80). Correlations between data sets were calculated using Pearson and Spearman correlation and multiple regression; t-tests, ANOVA, and Tukey–Kramer post-hoc statistical tests were also used. Participants perceived their organization’s strategy as being of high quality, with a statistical significance level (t [111] = 21.50; p < .001). Participants were satisfied with their organization’s strategy execution, with a statistical significance level (t [111] = 18.62; p < .001). Of the 12 factors, three represented statistically significant predictors (p < .05) of the perceived efficacy of strategy execution: clear guidelines, harmony between the execution plan and the power structure, and the organization’s ability to adapt to change. Hypothesis testing found that the higher the hierarchy level, the higher the number of respondents who strongly agreed with the survey questions related to the 12 elements. Organizations need to define power bases and form coalitions with those in power; focus on value-added, measurable results; and ensure that resources are fairly distributed. Furthermore, organizations need to assess the size of the strategic change and the time needed to execute it, outline the steps and tactics, clearly identify responsibilities and accountabilities, and overcome resistance to change, including cultural change.

Background: Caesarean section has become the most performed major operation in obstetrics. The increasing rate of primary caesareans section becomes high worldwide due to early detection of fetal and maternal complications. Repeated caesarean section is one of the major contributory factors for increasing this rate very significantly. Now a day, vaginal delivery of pregnant mothers with the history of previous one caesarean with non-recurrent cause was established. It has been shown that the outcome of trial of labor in past caesarean delivery is acceptable, effective and safe for both mother and fetus, if the women are properly selected. Objective: The objectives of this study was to determine the outcomes of vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC) in case of previous one caesarean section to reduce the subsequence cesarean section with its complication. Materials and Methods: It was a cross sectional study carried out in the Maternity Unite-1, Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics, Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh, held on January 2010 to December 2010. Out of total 380 admitted pregnant women who had previous one caesarean section, 50 pregnant women of 37-42 weeks of gestational age with the history of one caesarean delivery with alive baby were selected as study population following consecutive and purposive sampling method. Patients with spontaneous onset labor but preterm pregnancy with any contraindication or prior caesarean section due to recurrent causes, history of classical caesarean section, more than one caesarean section, multiple pregnancy, pregnancy with medical disorder were excluded in the study. Results: Out of total 50 sampled pregnant women, vaginal delivery were done 16(32%) & emergency cesarean section were done 34(68%). According to the age group both vaginal & cesarean section 20-30 years were predominant, which were 8(50%) and 17(50%) respectively. Regarding antenatal care 13(81.25%) of vaginal delivery cases were regular. On the other hand, only 10(29.41%) of cesarean section were regular in care. Fetal survival outcome in vaginal & caesarean which were 14(87.5%) and 33(97.05%) respectively. Comparing the maternal complication maximum number of vaginal delivery group had no complications. Conclusion: In this study 14.5% pregnant women went spontaneous labor. By permitting a trial of labor in our pregnant mother with a previous caesarean section, we will be able to reduce the caesarean delivery rate. Women for VBAC needs regular antenatal checkup, timely admit in hospital and delivery under close supervision. Therefore, all pregnant women with prior delivery by caesarean section need not necessarily be delivered by caesarean section during the next pregnancy of a pregnant women.

The burden of infectious diseases by bacteria and fungi had constituted a great concern to the entire human population. Calliandra portoricensis (Fabaceae) had been widely used over the years in ethnomedicine for the; treatment of various ailments such as swollen gum, tooth and throat inflammation often associated with microbial infections. At present, no active antimicrobial compound has been reported from this specie. The aim of this research was to identify, isolate and characterize the antimicrobial compounds from the root of C. portoricensis. The pulverized root sample (0.8 Kg) was extracted by successive cold maceration respectively for 72 hr.. The most bioactive ethyl acetate extract (4.61 gm) was subjected to chromatographic column fractionation (Silica Gel G, 200-400 mesh-stationary phase). Gradient mixtures of n-hexane: ethyl acetate: methanol (4:0:0; 3:1:0; 2:2:0; 1:3:0; 0:1:0; 0:3:1; 0:2:2; 0:1:3; 0:0:4; – v/v/v) were used for elution. Agar well diffusion method was adopted for the bioassays susceptibility tests and MIC determinations. Clinically viable human pathogens for the tests were; Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococus fecalis, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. Two major fractions (FA and FB) active against the test organisms were pooled The more active fraction FB on further purification by preparative TLC (Silica Gel G, 0.5 mm thickness), yielded bioactive pure commands C1 (9 mg) and C2 (8 mg). Both compounds exhibited MIC values of 125.00±0.70 µg per ml against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger These activities were found to be quite significant with respect to the reference controls (Ciprofloxacin and fluconazole) at P < 0.05. Characterization of C1 and C2 by spectroscopic analysis (UV, MS, FT – IR and NMR), identified two novel compounds as Cassane - type tricyclic diterpenoids. C1 (Molecular Mass: 324, C20 H36 O3) is (5,10- 8,9- 12,13)-seco- 4,4,10 – trimethyl, 14 – hydroxymethyl, 16 – keto, 13(15) – ene – cassane furanoditerpene and compound C2 (Molecular Mass: 418, C24 H34 O6) is (12,13) – seco - 12, 14 – epoxy, 12(16) -Oxo –,13(15), 16(17) – diene, 4, 10, 17 – trimethyl, 4, 7 – di – aceto cassanoate. Similar Cassane - type diterpenoids have been reported for promising antimicrobial properties.

Physical activity has been considered as an effective strategy for both physiological and psychological benefits. Though its effects are well documented among adolescents and adults, but it has not been studied extensively in middle aged people. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to see the effect of physical activity on perceived stress, sleep quality and happiness among middle aged people. Total 455 participants (males=197, females=258) in the age range of 40-60 years were recruited for the present study. To assess the domains of physical activity, perceived stress, sleep quality and subjective happiness, Godin-Shephard Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (Godin, 1985), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et. al., 1983), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, et al., 1989) and Subjective Happiness Scale (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999) were used respectively. Obtained scores were subjected to two-way analysis of variance. Findings of the study revealed significant effect of physical activity on perceived stress (F= 3.34; p< 0.05) and sleep quality (F = 387.036; p< 0.01). But, physical activity did not produce significant effect on subjective happiness among male and female participants. The study indicates that physical activity plays a vital role in enhancing sleep quality and reducing perceived stress among middle-aged people. The significant implications have been discussed.

Fish exist in environment of water which is useful because mucus is produce from the body of fish and protect against the large number of microbes which are present in the water. Usually the body of fish is protected by the layer of mucus and the mucus contain many kinds of biological constituent in the outer layer, these are the mucus cells, the club cells and the epithelial cells. The fish immune system is very important. The fish mucus having several unwilling defiance parameter which are immunoglobulin’s, pathogen peptide and harmonize factors that provide both physical and machinal protection. Important part of the fish mucous defense system is immunological defense that is present in mucus of fish’s skin, helping as a physiological and structural barrier against outside risks. Genetic makeup and evolutionary lineage determine the innate immune system of pathogens that are modified through time, pathogenic association and environmental factors.

In recent years, with the territorial dispute between China and Japan, the research on Okinawa's national subjectivity and cultural themes and its achievements have been increasing in China. However, research on post- World War II Okinawa literature is still not mature. The theses, which analyze Okinawa’s history, religion, folklore, culture, and even the potential consciousness of Okinawa, people since ancient times from the perspective of post- World War II Okinawa literature is especially rare. When we study the post- World War II Okinawa literature, it is important for us to ignore Oshiro Tatsuhiro (1925-2020), the first Okinawa writer, who won The Akutagawa Prize, the highest honor in Japanese pure literature. Oshiro Tatsuhiro's literature not only records the relationship between China and Ryukyu with a strong sense of history and humanistic sentiment, but also is praised because of his distinctive Okinawa character, and it also has its own place in the field of "Japanese literature." In a sense, we can also refer to the literature of Oshiro Tatsuhiro as a cross-nation and mixed literature.

UV-B is a growing concern due to the rise in UV-B levels on the surface of the earth as a result of the loss of stratospheric ozone. Increased levels of UV-B radiation can in fact negatively alter plant physiological processes, growth and productivity. However, when researching the effects of UV-B on medicinal plants like Phyllanthus amarus and in the tropical area under field conditions, there are some curious phenomena have been discovered. Enhanced UV-B radiation has greatly improved the growth of P. amarus. The outcome of the photosynthetic pigment showed increased UV-B enhanced synthesis of Chlorophyll or the accumulation of Chlorophyll pigments in the treated plants compared to non UV-B treated plants. The concentration of UV-B absorbing pigments also increased due to enhanced UV-B radiation in P. amarus. The synthesis of secondary metabolites such as flavonoid and phenol content was increased under UV-B treatment as compared to control. The UV-B radiation enhances the grade of the medicinal plant by improving the medicinally active compounds. This enhanced impact of UV-B could be important to observe when studying the phytotherapeutic function of P. amarus in health aspects of human life.
