Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen. Being an extremely adaptable organism, it can survive and multiply even with minimal nutrients and is one of the leading causes of hospital acquired infections. P. aeruginosa exhibits intrinsic resistance to several antimicrobial agents. As a result of indiscriminate use of antibiotics, the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) is now a global problem. Its general resistance is due to a combination of factor.Emergence of carbapenem resistance mainly Metallo-Beta-Lactamase (MBLs) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa which is considered as a world wide public health concern. Objectives: To study the detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its antibiotic susceptibility pattern from various clinical samples in Tertiary Care Hospital, Bhavnagar, Gujarat. Materials and Methods: The Present study was undertaken at Microbiology Laboratory, Sir T. Hospital, Bhavnagar. 300 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were collected from various clinical samples between November-2013 to August-2014 .They were subjected to antibiotic sensitivity testing by Modified Kirby Bauer Disc Diffusion Method as per CLSI guidelines. Quality control of the test was done by standards ATCC strain P. aeruginosa 27853. Results: 300 Isolates were included in the study, out of which 95(32%) showed Imipenem Resistant. and were 100% resistant to Cefoatxime, and Imipenem. Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin showed 84% and 93% resistance. Amikacin and Ofloxacin showed 89% resistance each. where as Piperacillin showed 75% resistance. Conclusions: Early detection will go a long way in making adjustments in empirical antimicrobial therapy. The study was coducted to formulate antibiotic policy and plan a proper hospital infection control strategy to prevent the spread of these MDR strains.

This study was conducted to determine the physical characteristics of the hazelnut in two forms and to evaluate the impact of cooking on the physicochemical properties. The results showed that the weight of the African hazelnuts ranged from 5.03±0.81 to 22.15±3.93 g, lengths ranging from 2.0±0.07 to 3.56±0.15 cm, widths from 3.29±0.31 to 3.29±0.31 cm. Lengths and widths of whole fruits and seeds showed no significant differences (p <0.05). The most dominant parameters are carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Fat (33.92±6.02-31.73±3.08), protein (11.29±2.15-10.20±2.28), fiber (2.37±0.67-1.45±0.05) and dry matter (94.92±0.47-93.63±1.91) contents (%) decreased significantly (p <0.05) after cooking, while carbohydrates (52.15±4.37-55.75± 5.62) reducing sugars (1.25±0.11-2.08±0.35) and total sugars (5.58 ± 0.87 -6.15±1.3) contents increased. Mineral composition of African hazelnut flours is dominated by potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and calcium. The potassium (5582.15±58-5314.65±204 mg/Kg), magnesium (5243.8±226 -4003.8±177 mg/Kg), manganese (31.53±0.8 -30.93±0.7 mg/Kg), iron (30.33±0.45-26.25±0.32 mg/Kg), calcium (1925±63-1167.7 ±18 mg/Kg) and sodium (255±3.54-241.7±1.92 mg/Kg) contents decreased after cooking while zinc content (21.47±1.27-241.7 ± 1.92 mg/Kg) increased.

Background & Objective: UTI (urinary tract infection) is the most common among all hospital acquired infections world wide. In UTI, most common organism is E.coli. Organism responsible for the hospital acquired infection may have tendency to develop multiple drug resistance. E.coli acquired from the hospital source and community source may differ in their resistant against antibiotics. Aim: Our aim to study and compare the antibiotic resistant pattern with special reference to ESBL (extended spectrum β lactamase) in the community acquired and hospital acquired common gram negative bacilli causing UTI in patients of district hospital Gandhinagar during period of June 2008 to may 2009. Methods and materials: E.coli from symptomatic UTI cases from both community acquired and hospital acquired UTI at district hospital Gandhinagar during period of June 2008 to May 2009 were tested for the antimicrobial susceptibility testing against 18 drug of various groups performed by Kirby Bauer's disc diffusion method. Isolates resistant to third generation cephalosporin were tested for ESBL production by double disk synergy test method. Results: Overall E.coli was (73.75%) among the all gram negative bacilli of UTI patients. The majority (70%) of the isolates were from female. ESBL prevalence was 12.6% and 25% among community acquired and hospital acquired E.coli respectively. Cephalosporin group of sensitivity was widely varied among both the group compare to other groups of antibiotics and more resistance was found in hospital strain. Discussion and Conclusion: Almost double prevalence of ESBL among hospital strain compared to community strain leads to change in line of management when a hospitalized patient has tendency to develop UTI, plain cephalosporin should not be administered in other diseases also.

Background: Twin is a form of multiple birth in which the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy. Twins can either be Monozygotic or dizygotic. In this research, lip print as a means of identification in human was studied using 80 individuals (40 pairs- 25 pairs of non-identical and 15pairs of identical twins) of the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria (ranging between of ages of 5- 66 years) residing in Igbo-Ora community of Oyo state in Western Nigeria. The lips of the subjects were properly cleaned and a red lipstick was applied on it. After which, the lip print impression was made on a white plane sheet. Cellophane tape was then struck on it for permanent record. The obtained lip print was studied using a magnifying lens. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the lip print pattern is unique to individuals and there were no two similar patterns even among identical twins and twins of the same parents and tribe. The most distributed lip patterns were type II in both non-identical and identical twin (26.5% and 31.7% respectively). The least distributed pattern in non-identical twin was type V (5.5%), type I’ (8.3%) and type V (8.3%) was the least distributed in identical twin. In total, the most distributed lip pattern in non-identical and identical twin was type II (28.4%) while the least was type V (6.7%). Conclusion: The study has revealed that the most distributed lip pattern in non-identical and identical twin was type II (28.4%) while the least was type V (6.7%). By implication amongst twins whether identical or non-identical, in a random selection there is a greater probability of picking someone who has a type II pattern as the most frequent pattern type. This information could aid in a forensic study and serve as a strong means of identification when the identity was not established beforehand.

Background: Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) is a major public health problem and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Acute Viral Hepatitis A infection among adults .in developing country is low due to pre exposure of Hepatitis A virus (HAV) during childhood and adolescence. Anti-HAV prevalence in population worldwide has grouped countries into high, intermediate low and very low endemicity. The anti-HAV prevalence in Indian population is of high endemicity. But, there is heterogeneous exposure of hepatitis A virus in different region of the country. In India the age of acquiring HAV has a world-wide distribution and affects infant and young children in developing countries and its epidemics are not very common. HEV is restricted to tropical countries and affects older children and young adults and its epidemics are common. Studies suggested that HEV is etiologically responsible for 10%–95% of admitted cases of hepatitis. Exposure rates over a period of time are different in different parts of the country and in different socioeconomic groups. Objective: To determine the prevalence of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) and Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection among patients of suspected acute viral hepatitis admitted in Sola Civil Hospital, Ahmadabad / in a tertiary care hospital, Ahmadabad, Gujarat. To determine any change in the epidemiology of these infections with the age, gender and seasonal trends. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, GMERS Medical College & Hospital, and Sola, which is a leading Tertiary care hospital and the major referral centre of Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

The need for Nigerian organizations to pay attention to cross-cultural management practices have become necessary following the challenges posed by cultural diversity and tribal sentiment in many states of the country. These barriers add to the usual challenges that entrepreneurs face with regard to capacity, financing, and market access. This study accesses Cross Cultural Management and Entrepreneurial Environment in Nigeria using intercultural communication and entrepreneurial mobility as proxies of study. The specific objectives of the study are to determine the factors affecting cross cultural management in Nigeria and to ascertain the behavioral aspect of managers in managing cross cultural business in Nigeria. The study revealed that the understanding of some basic cultural differences can help foster the movement of various entrepreneurial resources from one place to another without any form of barrier and cultural shock. The study concludes that Cross cultural management expands the mobility of pool of potential entrepreneurs, builds incentives for entrepreneurship, eases the costs of doing business, helps industrialize local communities and generates healthy competition. The study recommends that policymakers should create proactive cross-cultural communication education and entrepreneurs should understand cultural sensitivities, avoid conflict and appreciate how words, tonality, and body language vary with every culture

Objective: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important cause of hospital acquired infection especially in patients admitted in critical care units such as intensive care units and burn care units. In recent times, it has emerged as a widespread Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) pathogen which requires antibiotic susceptibility testing on a regular as well as a periodic basis. This study was carried with an aim to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern and prevalence of MDR P. aeruginosa infection among burns patients at a tertiary care centre. Material and Methods: This retrospective study of pus samples of hospitalized patients in burn wards between January 2018 to June 2018 was carried out. The intensity of use of antibacterial agents and resistance of P. aeruginosa to common anti-Gram-negative antibiotics were measured. The antibiotic sensitivity testing of all P. aeruginosa isolates was done using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and the results were interpreted according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines (CLSI) 2017. Results: Out of these 130 clinical specimens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated in 38(29.2%) samples. P.aeruginosa showed maximum sensitivity to Imipenem (90%), Piperacillin-tazobactum (78%) and Gatifloxacin (52.6%) followed by Tobramycin (28.9%), Ciprofloxacin (23.6%) and Gentamycin (13.1%). Conclusion: Pseudomonas was the commonest cause of infection in fire burn patients in our setting. About 29.2% of the isolates showed multiple resistances. In light of our findings, regular antibiotic resistance test has to be done for each patient in order to select an appropriate antimicrobial agent.

This paper attempts to discuss the need for fostering 21st century skills in schools, especially in English Language classrooms. Our school systems need to respond to the changing world. The new generation is to be prepared for the new careers, by connecting their learning with real life. Schools should build the young generation for the future. This is possible only when the curricula incorporate the 21st century skills to frame the syllabi to meet the changing needs. The teaching- learning process should be made challenging, inspiring, interesting and effective. Language classroom can contribute much to this effect by connecting physical and virtual environment that can connect the learners with a “variety of learning resources, and with people of different cultural backgrounds.” This may enhance learning experiences and individual development. The present century is technology rich and immensely complex. Learners in the present century need abundant opportunities to participate in connected learning environments that can ensure perfect learner engagement. Classroom environment should provide the learners with the opportunities to acquire the skills like critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, innovation, celebration, team work, leadership, cross-cultural understanding, etc. This can equip the learners with the ability to face the challenges of the modern society. Learning is a lifelong process .So the learners must get chances to update themselves with the latest trends and information. English is the ideal context for introducing and building 21st century skills

In Yabello most of the range land was changed in to agricultural area and the remaining part were exposed to overgrazing and become seriously degraded. The aim of this study was in order to assess the impact of overgrazing on the soil characteristics of Yabello rangeland. The soil physico –chemical characteristics were evaluated by using three (3) grazing intensity level (ungrazed, moderate grazing and over grazing (each with 2 ha) were selected, which were located about 100 to 150m apart within a 10 ha area. This study indicates that Overgrazing homogenized soil characteristics. The ranges of spatial autocorrelation for soil organic C (SOC) and total N were at the HG site, which was considerably larger than that at the MG and OG sites. Soil nutrients such as organic C, N and K were show a small higher variation in the ungrazed areas than as compared to both moderately grazing and overgrazing, even though, a variation were generally low and differed non-significantly in all the study sites. Results on soil texture revealed that the sand, silt and clay contents were not much difference in the three land-use systems. In general, since the complex nature of soil nutrient patterns, which are largely dependent on land-uses and topography and also the current study were done based on small sample areas we call up researchers for a more broad-based additional research investigation to provide stronger and basic information in the Yabello rangelands in this regard.

Worldwide, retention of skilled employees has been of serious concern to managers in the face of ever increasing high rate of employee turnover. Excessively high and low turnover rates, both have a negative consequence on the success and productivity of the sector. The focus of the study is to investigate the influence of non-monetary factors on employee’s satisfaction and retention in Nigeria organizations. A survey of 60 full- time employees selected through stratified sampling techniques in Edo and Taraba state reveals that age of the firm, autonomy in work place; training, internal career opportunity, reward and recognition have positive significant relationship with employee’s retention. However, the study recommends that organizations should emphasize on the extrinsic factors like attractive salary package and also should give additional benefit for the good performances of the employees. Finally, organizations should adopt adequate and competitive monetary policy strategies that will discourage employee turnover. Keywords: Employees Satisfaction, Employees Retention, Non-Monetary

Leaf ethanolic extracts of six Senna species namely S. occidentalis, S. hirsuta, S. siamea, S. obtusifolia, S. polyphylla and S. alata were obtained using the cold extraction method. The extracts were tested for antimicrobial activity against five organisms, namely Escherichia coli, Klebssiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Salmonella typhi. The agar well diffusion method was used to carry out this test. The study on antimicrobial activities shows that ethanolic extracts of the six Senna species possess antibacterial activity against human pathogens used in this study. The antibacterial activities of the extracts were more pronounced at higher concentration than at lower concentration in the species of Senna investigated. However, Senna alata showed more antimicrobial acivity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the plant extracts ranged from 21.5 mg/ml to 62.5 mg/ ml with Senna alata having the lowest value (31.25 mg/ ml) for the pathogen tested except Klebssiella pneumonia (65.5 mg/ml) while the other Senna species have similar minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of Senna alata was favourably compared with the standard drug, ciprofloxacin. The antibacterial activities of the plant extract could possibly be due to alkaloids and flavonoids. Bioactive substance from these six Senna species can therefore be employed in the formation of antimicrobial agent for the treatment of various bacterial infections or diseases.

Flours were prepared from seven cassava varieties (Agbablé3, Bonoua2, Bondoukou4, Boufouh3, Boufouh4, Soclopouopo3, Totoba2) evaluated for their physicochemical properties. The physicochemical parameters of the seven varieties show significant differences (p <0.05). The results showed that moisture content of flours ranged from 10.88±0.02 (Bonoua2) to 12.92±0.31% (Agbaglé3), starch from 28.71±0.34 (Socloppouopo3) to 44.06±0.56% (Totoba2) carbohydrates from 92.70 ±0.05% (Totoba2) to 94.72±0.27 (Bonoua2), organic matter from 85.3±0.27 (Totoba2) to 87.4±0.18% (Bondoukou4), and energy value from 347.56±0.03 (Agbable3) to 361.95±0.01 to kcal/100g (Bonoua2). Physicochemical parameters at low content are the protein ranging from 1.37±0.14 (Soclopouopo3 and Boufouh4) to 2.23±0.13% (Boufouh3), lipids from 0.77±0.03 (Bonoua2) to 1.29±0.11(Boufouh4), ash from 1.29±0.1(Agbablé3) to 2.62±0.01 (Soclopouopo3), fibers from 1.03±0.24 (Soclopouopo3) to 1.08±0.06% (Boufouh3 and 4) and total sugar from 1.30±0.04(Soclopouopo3)-3.35±0.05(Bonoua2). The most dominant minerals are potassium, calcium and phosphorus whose content are respectively 328±0.1 (Totoba2) to 1207 mg/100g (Bondoukou4), 82±0.01 (Boufouh4) to 338±0.26 mg/100g (Bonoua2) and from 20±0.05 (Totoba2) to 100±0.41 mg/100g (Bonoua2). From the data obtained it can be concluded that cassava varieties should not be abandoned because of poor cooking quality and high cyanogenic potential. These varieties could be used for other purposes such as starch production, glucose, adhesives, fuel alcohol, animal feed and other industrial Uses.

Vermiculture employ earthworms for decomposition of organic waste for production of organic manure. The importance of earthworms is known since time immemorial and it is considered natural plough by the farmers. Earthworms are one of the most important fauna of agro-ecosystems which dominate the biomass of invertebrates in many soils of temperate and tropical regions of the world. The benefits are now globally realized that earthworms can contribute much to the management of different pedo-ecosystems. They are useful in land reclamation, soil improvement and organic waste management in addition to their use as a protein-rich source of animal feed. Earthworms eat and mix large amount of soil or in burrows, depending upon the species concerned. Their casts contain high concentration of organic material, silt, clay and cations such as iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Earthworms also release nitrogen in to soil in their casts and urine. Earthworms change the physical characteristics of soil by aerating during rain or irrigation. Earthworms thus enhance incorporation and decomposition of organic matter, increase soil aggregate, improve porosity and water infiltration and increase microbial activity. Vermiculture may be a boon for Fiji which is a small Island nation located in the South Pacific, 3000 km east of Australia and 1930 km south of the equator. It is endowed with excellent climate which is very much suitable for vermicomposting. The land and climate of Fiji are very good for growing horticultural crops such as vegetables and fruits. Fiji farmers use imported chemical fertilizers which is costly resulting farming as an expensive venture. The export market for organically produced crops is increasing worldwide providing excellent opportunity to the farmers to use organic manure produced locally. To meet the farmers‟ demands of organic manure there is a vast scope of vermiculture. The availability of plenty amount of plant biomass, number of suitable earthworm species and excellent tropical climate are in favour of simple vermiculture technology.
