The volatile compound composition of food provides an indication of the benefits that this food can provide to the consumer. Thus the present study aimed at identifying the bioactive compounds present in formulated fermented diet made from 20% red kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), 60% mung bean (Vigna radiate), 10% irish potato (Solanum tuberosum), and 10% ripe fresh papaya (Carica papaya) fruits inoculated with different concentrations of Lactococcus lactis sp. (Lc. lactis sp.) strain using the Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS). The formulated diet consisted the control diet containing no lactic bacteria, diet 1 (1 × 106 CFU/ml), and diet 2 (2 × 106 CFU/ml). The results of the GC-MS revealed the presence of twenty volatile compounds in each diet. Five compounds namely Benzyl Alcohol; 2-propyl-1-pentanol; 1,3-diethyl benzene; 1-Tridecyn-4-ol; Phthalic acid, and cyclobutyl isobutyl ester were identified in all diets. Three volatile compounds namely Benzyl alcohol, 2-propyl-1-pentanol, and 1,3-diethyl benzene were identified as the dominant compounds in control; whereas two (Phthalic acid, cyclobutyl isobutyl ester, (E)-9-Dodecenoic acid, methyl ester) and three more (9.12-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester; 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z) -, methyl ester, and Tetradecanoic acid, 10,13-dimethyl-, methyl ester) bioactive compounds were detected in diet 1 and diet 2 respectively. Benzyl alcohol was the principal dominant bioactive compound in all the diets. The present study indicates that inoculation and increasing in the concentration of lactic bacteria in diet led to the identification of 2 and 3 other major volatile compounds with biology activities which could be highly important in pharmacology and nutraceuticals.

One of the objectives of the preparation of the Tax report is to provide
information to parties who need it that will be used to make comparisons, assess the
ability of a company, and as a guide for decision-making. In order to fulfill the above
objectives, financial reports must be comparable. These comparisons can be done in
two ways, namely horizontal and vertical. Horizontal comparison is a comparison of a
company's tax financial statements with other companies for the same period, which in
its concept can easily be used, in which the preparation uses existing software. This
study aims to develop a tax accounting learning model using the Computer Tax
program as a teaching material in lecture materials in universities. The specific target to
be achieved in this study is to issue teaching materials in the form of financial
accounting books compiled with the Computer Taxation program. To achieve these
objectives, this study uses descriptive analysis to identify the problems that exist in
financial accounting learning in universities in the city of Medan. That has been
running all this time. These problems include not understanding students in using Tax
computer programs that have been issued for a long time, and not motivated to study
the program because of lack of guidance in carrying out the practice. To find the factors
that become obstacles in understanding the use of the program. With the identification
of these factors, then a teaching material can be arranged to motivate students to want
to like the teaching material and the goal of educating the nation can be achieved.

Societies are classified according to their development and use of
technology. For most of human history, people lived in preindustrial societies
characterized by limited technology and low production of goods. After the Industrial
Revolution, many societies based their economies around mechanized labour, leading
to greater profits and a trend toward greater social mobility. At the turn of the new
millennium, a new type of society emerged. This post-industrial, or information,
society is built on digital technology and nonmaterial goods. Educational and
instructional supervision occur in a variety of societies; thus the need to explore the
various typologies of societies that provide the context for the instructional supervision
process.

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the physico-chemical and
microbiological qualities of dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection in the city of
Douala. The experimental type was conducted from December 2016 to June 2017. It
consisted of carrying out tests of physic-chemical and microbiological parameters on 14
batches of injectable DSP, conditioning, pH, TLC identification, dosage of active
ingredient, the clarity, nominal volume and sterility of the drug were analyzed. The
technics used were a visual inspection, thin layer chromatography, UV/visible
spectrophotometry and microbiological technics, were that of direct seeding. The results
were compared in each sector (formal and informal) and in both. Thus, it was found that
the injectable DSP, which came from the formal sector had a non-compliance rate of
12.7%, while that from the informal sector a non-compliance rate of 39.7%. In both
sectors, the injectable DSP had a non-compliance rate of around 26.2%. Both formal
and informal circuits were all affected by non-compliance, although there is a

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.9.12
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of procurement
practices on performance of construction projects in Tanzania. The principle question
to be addressed by this study is „what procurement practices are responsible for
performance of construction projects in Tanzania?‟ To answer this question and to
achieve the primary objective of this study, the researcher focuses on National Housing
Corporation (NHC) as a case study. NHC has been selected for this study because it is
one of the major public institutions with a significant portfolio of public projects, some
of which have succeeded whereas others have failed. The research design used was
descripto-explanatory which allowed a detailed description and analysis of the
variables under study; describing and presenting their characteristics and explaining
their relationships without manipulation. The target population composed of 60
employees from five different departments within NHC headquarters, of which the
researcher conducted a census. The study used questionnaires as the primary research
instrument. The data was coded as per the objectives to give distinct differences and
multivariate regression done to look at the relationship of the variables. Presentation
also was done through their calculated mean, frequency, standard deviation and the
correlation analysis of the data collected. The study found that indeed various
procurement practices influence performance of construction projects in NHC. The
supplier selection was found to reduce conflict of interest between the suppliers and
management of the organization and in the process influence productivity of the staff.
The study further revealed that that contract monitoring and control reduce risks and
triggers off an effort to search for solutions to the identified threats to the project
success. The study concluded that to a great extent the performance of construction
projects is being influenced by adoption of procurement practices, the study
recommended that NHC resources need to be more utilized so as to enable more
development and less wastage in the company, NHC should handle on the issue of
conflict of interest from the management and the outsiders when dealing with the
supplier selection and project implementation section. However, the NHC also need to
advance more on the policies regarding the quality of construction projects so as to
ensure quality projects are achieved at the long run which is beneficial to the company.

Investors can choose to invest in the real investment sector or in the financial
sector. The decision to choose the investment sector is mainly determined by the amount
of return (return) generated and the risk (risk) that will be received by investors due to the
investment. Theoretically the risks and returns received from an investment will go hand
in hand. The higher the rewards expected to be received, the greater the risk that investors
will receive. Fama (1970) classified information into three types, namely; (i) oast price
change (past price changes), (ii) public information (publicly available information) and
(iii) public and private information (good information available to the public and not).
The efficient market hypothesis has been widely tested and, with the data in a wide
variety of markets and variety result. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we seem to
be entering a stage where widely scattered and as yet incohesive evidence is arising which
seems to be inconsistent with the theory. Daily observations are taken for the period
January 2017 to December 2017 on LQ-45 at IDX. Autocorrelation, Ljung-Box Qstatistic Test, to test the hypothesis that the stock market follows a random walk. Daily
returns are not normally distributed, because they are negatively skewed and leptokurtic.
In aggregate we concluded that the daily prices do not follows random walks in LQ-45
IDX. The investors can take the stream of benefits through arbitrage process from
profitable opportunities across these markets.

Since their unearthing in the mid 1990's, Stem Cells have carried with them
the promise of developmental, significant scientific and medicinal research. Likewise,
it has the prospect that possessed the possibility of enhancing treatments for a host of
diseases. These „super cells‟ have a key clinical prospect in tissue repair, with its
adherers believing that they symbolizes the future relief or cure of varieties of common
disabilities; substitute of faulty cells in a patient through transplantation of hES
cell‐derived equivalent which could help restore normal function. Those who seek to
curtail the use of certain stem cell lines, revert to the argument that has defined many
medical centric debates over the previous decades. The argument, the destruction of
human life to create life, is the stalwart philosophical point that all anti-stem cell
advocates attempt to make. The purpose of this discussion is to engage in an analysis of
the various aspects of the ethical debate relating to the use of stem cells in medical
research.

The Concepts of Developed and Developing Countries as Typologies of Societies
Francis Ndlovu
Page no 1076-1078 |
10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.9.5
The term “developed country” is synonymous to “industrialized country,
post-industrial country, more developed country, advanced country, and first-world
country.” The United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, and the
United States of America are only a few of those considered as developed countries. A
developing country, on the other hand, is one that has a low level of industrialization. It
has a higher level of birth and death rates than developed countries. Its infant mortality
rate is also high due to poor nutrition, shortage of medical services, and little
knowledge on health. The citizens of developing countries have a low to medium
standard of living because their per capita income is still developing, and their
technological capacity is still being developed. There is also an unequal distribution of
income in developing countries, and their factors of production are not fully utilized.
Developing countries are also referred to as third-world countries or least-developed
countries.
