In this short communication, an integrated process concept for detoxification of chromium (VI) contaminated water with Polyaniline/MCC composite is proposed. The preparation of composite involved in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of MCC (a bio-based material); the industrially favorable and cost effective oxidant ammonium persulphate (APS) was used. Under the conditions studied, the preliminary results reflected that the proposed concept was quite effective in the detoxification of the model solution. It is worth expecting that the use of PANI-engineered cellulose fibers prepared using low cost oxidant may serve as an interesting alternative for industrial water treatment.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a dangerous bacterium causing nosocomial infections and difficult to treat because of its broad resistance to antibiotics. Siwak sticks, root of Arak tree (Salvadora persica) has been widely used since 7.000 years ago and has many benefits including antibacterial effect. Thus, research on whether siwak (Salvadora persica) stick extract has antibacterial effects need to be done by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). This experimental research was intended to explain such effect. This research used the dilution test of siwak (Salvadora persica) ethanol extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Growth of bacteria on eleven different concentrations of each tube (80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 20%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1:25%, 0.625%) was observed by viewing tube clarity after incubation at 36 oC for 24 hours to measure the MIC. MBC was measured by the growth of bacteria on plates as a result of the bacteria cultivation from each tube. Replication was performed four times and the results were analyzed descriptively. In the MIC test, tubes with concentration of 80% to 20% were clear and tubes of 10% to 0.625% were cloudy. In MBC test, tube with concentration of 80% to 60% were not overgrown with bacteria and tube of 50% to 0.625% were overgrown with bacteria. In conclusion, MIC of siwak (Salvadora persica) stick extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is 20% and the MBC value of siwak (Salvadora persica) extract against Pseudomonas aeruginosa is 60%.

This study sought to establish the influence of economic factors on female students’ career choice in TVET science programmes in Siaya County, Kenya. The study was based on social Cognitive Theory. It adopted descriptive survey design. It is based on the conceptual framework whereby choice of careers in TVET by female students is assumed to depend on economic factors. Test- retest method was used to test reliability of the instruments. The research instruments were questionnaires. The sample size was 316 female students sampled using census method.

Herpes viruses as CMV, EBV and HHV-6 are the most common cause severe morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Reactivation of the virus is seen during periods of down-regulation of the immune system, such as coinfection with other pathogens. So, this study was conducted to detect the presence of Human herpes virus-6 infection in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and to point out the effect of HHV 6 -HCV co-infection on Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT) and Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST) liver enzymes. Nested polymerase chain reaction was carried out on extracted DNA from sera of both groups with hepatitis C and control group. Serological investigations were carried out as well. Fifty-three serum samples with HCV-RNA were examined, (25%) were positive HHV-6 DNA, (82%) were positive for HHV-6 IgG antibodies and (22%) were positive for HHV-6 IgM antibodies; among control specimens (18.5%) were positive for HHV-6 DNA infection, (61%) were positive for HHV-6 IgG antibodies and (14.5%) were positive for HHV-6 IgM antibodies. Moreover, the activity levels of ALT and AST liver enzymes were significantly higher in HHV-6 positive patients than that of HHV-6 negative patients. This indicates to the prevalence of HHV-6 infection is common in chronic HCV patients, that increase the severity of liver inflammation.

Abstract: Ciliated epithelial cells are fairly common in gynecologic lesions; however malignant growth showing these elements and occurring in the ovary are very rare. In the case under discussion, the ovarian tumour coexisted with an endocervical growth with different morphology. 90% of ovarian endometroid tumour showed ciliary processes in our patient and these findings are discussed with a comparison to the available literature on this subject.

It is well known that nuclear grooves play a major role in the diagnosis of papillary carcinoma thyroid. Also grooves are found in many non- neoplastic lesions of thyroid. To calculate the percentage of nuclear grooves in histopathologically proven cases of papillary carcinoma and non –neoplastic lesions (hashimoto’s thyroiditis and colloid goiter). This retrospective study was carried out by reviewing the data and cytology smears of 21 histopathologically confirmed cases of papillary carcinoma thyroid and 10 cases each of hashimoto’s thyoiditis and colloid goitre. The percentage of nuclear grooves was calculated in oil immersion by counting 100 to 500 cells depending on the cellularity. The percentage of nuclear grooving ranged from 15% to 85% in the papillary carcinoma cases. Greater than 20% nuclear grooves were observed in 19(90.4%) of the cases. Nuclear crowding and overlapping, pale chromatin, nuclear grooves, nuclear enlargement and prominent nucleoli were seen in all (100%) the cases. Intranuclear cytoplasmic pseudoinclusions were seen in only 5(23.8%) of the cases. Histiocytes, metaplastic cells and multinucleated giant cells were seen in 12(57.1%), 10(47.6%) and 6(28.5%) of the cases. The percentage of nuclear grooves in non neoplastic cases overall observed was <10%. The sensitivity and specificity of grooves for PCT at >=20% were 90.5% and 100% respectively. Whenever in doubt, a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma can be offered confidently by this semiquantitative approach for grooves in combination with other features.

This paper comments on Shakespearean expositions based on Bradley Shakespearean Tragedy lecture II. This paper also sheds light on Shakespearean conflict to investigate that how expositions and conflict are interlinked. Analysis reveals that Shakespeare’s dramatic structure from exposition to end affects the hero and heroine while engages the audience in predicting process. Analysis also indicates that Shakespearean expositions are deep rooted in the actions and speeches of the protagonists or villains, disturb the inner state of mind and give a high rise to the conflict finally result in downfall and death of the self and others.

Fine needle aspiration cytology is a fast and easy method for diagnosing any accessible lesion. The majority of head and neck mass are usually superficial and easily accessible to needle biopsy. The study was undertaken to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC in palpable lesions of head and neck along with an analysis of age, sex, anatomical site of distribution and histopathological correlation. It was an institution based descriptive study with cross-sectional design. The study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, Bankura Sammilani Medical College, Bankura, West Bengal. A total of 3670 patients were included in the study. A brief history and physical examination was taken from the patients. FNAC smears were stained with Leishman-Geimsa and Papaniculaou stain. Zeihl-Neelsen stain was done in suspected cases of tuberculosis. Surgically excised specimens were available in 142 cases, which were processed and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin stain. Majority age group was 21-40 years and male to female ratio was 1ː 1.2. The site of lesion were distributed according –Lymphnode (46.83%), Thyroid (30.5%), Salivary glands (6.64%), and Miscellaneous (16.02%). Histopathological correlation was done in 142 cases and overall accuracy rate of FNAC was 90.14% with sensitivity of 92.8% and specificity of 86.66%. Positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 90.47% and 89.65% respectively. Palpable lesions of head and neck are readily accessible for FNAC, which aid in our diagnosis and hence proper treatment and management of the patient. Supplementation by a histological diagnosis often comes as an additional boon especially in suspicious and malignant cases.

The Black Hairy Tongue (BHT) is characterized by a hypertrophy of lingual papillae in the posterior part of the back of the tongue which often take a brown to black coloration; its etiology is unknown but probably multifactorial: alcohol-smoking, poor hygiene prolonged use of antiseptics or oral antibiotics, digestive and metabolic disorders, etc. We report two observations of BHT where the diagnosis of candida was retained following the detection on several samples of the same species and the good clinical evolution under suitable antifungals. P atient aged 53 years, having as antecedent pathological a taking of cortico therapy for an eczema problem in the feet, the port of dentures with bad oral hygiene that presents itself for a brownish color in the tongue with no functional discomfort, no feeling of impasto or itching. The patient was put under Flagyl, canaflucan and protected amoxicillin without clinical improvement. Microbiological examination was performed, direct examination after culture showed the presence of yeasts. The culture on Sabouraud medium made it possible to isolate a candida. The identification using the gallery 20 C AUX objectified candida glabrata. The patient is put under Nystatin with a good clinical and biological evolution. P atient 67 years old, diabetic, chronic smoking, checked up for heart failure under stent, with dentures and excessive hygiene of the oral cavity. The one whounderwent a dermatological consultation for brownish coloring of the tongue, the diagnosis of BHT is retained. The mycological study confirmed the diagnosis of candida lusitaniae. The patient was put on nystatin tablet with good clinical progress. The purpose of our work was not to highlight a causal link between candida and the occurrence of this pathology but its incrimination in the process or maintenance of this lesion.

The capability of the entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises can be realized because of the motivation in their work environment. To improve the capability of the entrepreneurs in small and medium business, it needs motivation by looking at physiological needs or other needs, such as safety and security needs, social needs, appreciation needs, and self-actualization needs. The existence of motivation for the entrepreneurs of small and medium enterprises is the improvement to increase their business capabilities. This study aims to look for the problems that are faced by the entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises in this case is SMEs/UKM, to motivate themselves to produce quality products and to improve the capability of human resources so that they are able to survive in facing of competition. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective model to find the right solution so that the model which is used is Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy. Data analysis techniques use descriptive statistics and analyze the capability of the entrepreneurs in small and medium enterprises through Maslow’s Needs Hierarchy model. The results that are obtained in this study of which small and medium enterprises in Maslow’s needs hierarchy consists of physiological variables are in ‘less good’ category, security needs variables are still not fulfilled, social needs variables are in ‘less good’ category, appreciation needs variables in ‘less good’ category, self-actualization needs variables are in ‘less good’ category, and capability of small and medium enterprises variables are also in ‘less good’ category. In addition to the above variables, researchers add 2 variables, namely innovation and information technology in an effort to develop Maslow’s needs hierarchy to improve the capability of small and medium enterprises

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of Blood Stream infections (BSI), skin and wound infections, osteomyelitis, endocarditis, and nosocomial infections, especially pneumonia, surgical site infections (SSI), and continue to be a major cause of community-acquired infections. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important cause of community and hospital acquired infections. MRSA are mainly nosocomial and are increasingly reported from many countries worldwide. The purpose of present study was to determine the sensitivity of S. aureus isolated from infected patients to methicillin and to evaluate the possible presence of VRSA in our tertiary care hospital. Staphylococci were isolated and identified by standard microbiological procedures. Methicillin resistance was detected by using cefoxitin (30 µgm) by disc diffusion method. MRSA strains detected were then subjected to vancomycin agar screen test and E test to detect vancomycin resistance. Out of the total 500 S.aureus isolates, methicillin resistance was observed in 47.4% of isolates. . By E-test, 24.1 % MRSA isolates had Vancomycin MIC value of 0.75 and 21.9% of MRSA had Vancomycin MIC value of 0.5. Only one isolate had MIC value of 2.

The different kinds of incentives (financial, moral and grant specialization to doctors) are playing a prominent role in influencing the performance of doctors in public sector in Jordan, and guide their behavior to achieve the public health sector goals. The subject of incentives has become the focus of many management scholars and researchers because of the strong correlation between incentives, job satisfaction and job performance. Several theories such as Maslow’s human needs theory , Herzberg two factors theory and other theories became the basis of many studies and researches of incentives and job satisfaction, hence the scholars and researchers were interested in studying job performance academically as a part of organization psychology, also it has become a part of human resources management This paper aims to know the relationship between incentives (financial, moral, and grant specialization to doctors) and the performance of doctors in public sector in Jordan. The study also tries to prove in literature either the job satisfaction act as a mediator variable between incentives and job performance or not
