The present study is the result of a quality study, done by the Transylvania University of Brasov, the target population concerned by the experimentation was composed of 454 students, from this population, a sample of 20 students, (females) they accepted the implementation in their daily activity of a certain individualized kinetic program aiming to optimize the physical condition. The condition was that these activities, along with the kinetic program, be practiced regularly on the duration of the course, to further prove their efficacy in optimizing the physical condition for the people with a sedentary behavior. The subjects involved have presented other associated medical conditions, and they were not selected based on age and sex, these not being considered as selection criteria. The sole selection criterion has been the existence of a sedentary behavior, meaning more than 8 hours per day while sitting down, without doing any ulterior physical activity. The present study analyzes, within 2 evaluations – initial and final – the body’s shape and structure (height, weight, thoracic perimeter, amplitude, adapting the organism to effort through the Ruffier test, the cardiac frequency and the adipose tissue.

An experiment was carried out in a net-house, Aligarh Muslim University Department of Botany. The six different treatments that were used in this study includes control, Salicylic acid, NaCl (50 mM), SA + 50 mM NaCl, 100 mM NaCl and SA + 100 mM NaCl. The resultant plants from salt-treated seeds of the present investigation indicated that seeds recorded lower values for all the growth attributing parameters. It was deep-rooted that 50 mM and 100 mM salt concentrations harm the growth, biochemical and yield parameters of fenugreek. Salt stress reduces plant height, fresh weight, dry weight, chlorophyll content, Nitrate reductase activity, number of pods and seed yield in fenugreek. The foliar application of Salicylic acid alleviates the negative effect of salinity. This effect was more pronounced in 50 mM salt stress than 100 mM.

Background: Lung cancer is one of the leading cause of death in developing countries. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a transmembrane protein with cytoplasmic kinase activity that transduces important growth factor signaling from the extracellular milieu to the cell. Materials and methods: This study includes all cases of primary lung squamous cell carcinomas presented in the Department of Pathology from Jan 2011 to Dec 2013 in Sri Ramachandra Medical College. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue stained with H&E were used for routine morphology. Immunohistochemical staining was done using monoclonal anti EGFR antibody by Streptavidin biotin peroxidase complex technique. Positive cases were graded as 1+, 2+, 3+ based on staining intensity. Results: A total of 149 cases of carcinoma lung were retrieved. Of these 26 (20%) were SCC. Eighty eight percent of these were EGFR positive, of which 70% showed 3+ positivity, 11% showed 2+ positivity, 7% showed 1+ positivity. Conclusion: EGFR expression appears to be significant in primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung which aid in treating these patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and may improve the outcome of these patients. We conclude that EGFR marker expression is mandatory not only in lung adenocarcinomas but also in Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.

In the current study, thermoplasmonic characteristics of Erbium nanoparticles with spherical, core–shell and rod shapes are investigated. In order to investigate these characteristics, interaction of synchrotron radiation emission as a function of the beam energy and Erbium nanoparticles were simulated using 3D finite element method. Firstly, absorption and extinction cross sections were calculated. Then, increases in temperature due to synchrotron radiation emission as a function of the beam energy absorption were calculated in Erbium nanoparticles by solving heat equation. The obtained results show that Erbium nanorods are more appropriate option for using in optothermal human cancer cells, tissues and tumors treatment method.

Dietary habits are an important determinant of health. In vegetarian diet meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing those foods are not included. Current recommendations for all the nutrients can be fulfilled by the vegetarian diet. Sometimes to achieve proper amount of important nutrients, supplements or fortified foods can be added in the diet. Researchers reported that vegetarian diets are beneficial in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, renal disease and dementia, as well as diverticular disease, gallstones and rheumatoid arthritis. In this study we compared the haemoglobin level in vegetarian and non-vegetarian population from Rajkot city, Gujarat state. About 100 individuals of the age group of 16-50 years participated in the present study. Based on the dietary history, participants were divided into two groups as vegetarians and non-vegetarians. We conclude that in our study there is no significant difference in Haemoglobin concentration between two study groups. This shows that non-vegetarian diet does not have any beneficiary effect on haematological parameters in our study group.

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between capital structure and financial performance of firms listed in the Nigerian stock exchange between 2012 and 2017. Data were extracted from 40 companies out of 169 companies which are listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as at 2018. Consequently, ordinary pooled least square was adopted to analyze the objective of study. The principal findings that originate from this study is that capital structure has a negative impact on return on equity and return on asset of the firm listed on the Nigerian stock exchange. In view of the above important findings that originated in this work, it is paramount that the following recommendations are made for the investors and the policy makers in Nigeria that debt capital is not a profitable means of financing investment projects in firms listed in the Nigerian stock exchange. However, all hands must be on deck by the Nigerian policy makers to embark on policy measure to reduce double digit interest rate in the financial sector in order to ensure self-liquidating debt capital in the listed firms in the Nigerian stock exchange.
