The study empirically examined the determinants of share price in the
Nigerian Stock Market from 1980 to 2000. Data from fifteen quoted companies were
used. The study adopted ordinary least square method i.e multiple regression to
analyse and interpret the data that were mainly sourced from the Nigerian Stock
Exchange. The model used expressed the share price as a function of some identified
determinant established by theories and literature. These determinants are earning
per share, dividend per share, money supply, oil price, the gross domestic product,
consumer price index and interest rate. After the analysis it appears that all these
variables are true determinants of the share price in Nigerian Stock market going by
the significance of the model at both 5% and 10% levels of significance and the
robustness of the R square which stood at about 0.93. This simply shows that these
identified determinants have been able to explain about 93% variation in the share
price of the companies. However based on the revelations concerning the
relationship of the share price and each of this variables it appears the that earning
per share, dividend per share, money supply, oil price and consumer price index all
exhibited positive relationship with the share price while interest rate and GDP
exhibited negative relationship.

Cytological examination of cavity effusions is extremely important as it highlight the cause, presence of metastatic cells, typing of unknown cases, prognosis and staging of cancer. To study and evaluate trends in cytological evaluation of cavity effusions for various pathological conditions in a tertiary health care centre. 2) To correlate their frequency in relation to diagnosis. Our Study was cross-sectional study performed in Department of Pathology, Sri Aurobindo Medical College and Post Graduate Institute from 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2014. Serous cavity effusions included in the study were pleural and peritoneal in origin. All other fluids (pericardial and synovial fluid) were excluded from the study. The history and relevant parameters were noted and correlated clinically. Cytospin and Conventional smear methods were performed on pleural and peritoneal fluids. Both air dried and wet fixed smears in methyl alcohol were used and stained with Papanicolaou (PAP) and May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) stain. Out of 885 cases, 400 (45.19%) were pleural fluid, 485(54.8%) were peritoneal fluid .806 (91%) were of benign effusion and 79 (8.92%) were of malignant effusion. Total transudate cases in our study were 611 (69%) and exudates were 274 (30.9%). Male to female ratio was 1.5:1 with youngest patient 20 years old and eldest was 85years old. In younger age group benign effusions are common and malignant in older age group. Morphology and staining with May-Grunwald-Giemsa (MGG) and Papanicolaou (PAP) helped in better interpretation. Preliminary fluid analysis for cytology in resource limited settings, still remains the most convenient and cost effective method in arriving at the diagnosis, thereby reducing the need for invasive investigations and their related complications. Presence and absence of malignant cells at times can be the only clue to the presence of malignancy thereby affecting the prognosis and treatment outcome of the patient

The study empirically investigate the nexus between agricultural financing
and economic growth in Nigeria from 1983 to 2015. Augmented Dickey-Fuller
(ADF) test and the Phillip-Perron tests were used to establish which variable is
stationary at different levels. Almost all the variables (Real Gross Domestic Product
(RGDP) Agricultural credit guarantee scheme fund (ACGSF) Commercial Bank
Loan and Advance on Agriculture (CBLAA) are stationary at first different form,
that is they are integrated of order I (1) except interest rate (INTR) which is
stationary at level, that is, it is integrated of order I (0), hence Bounds co-integration
test was adopted since it allows combination of fractionally integrated variables i.e.
combines variables of different orders of integration. The results reveal existence of
long-run relationship between proxy of economic growth and the proxies of
agricultural financing. Meanwhile, Auto Redistributed Lag (ARDL) results show
both short and long run effect of agricultural financing schemes on the growth of
Nigerian economy. In addition, various diagnostic tests (such as Jarque-Bera (JB)
test, Breusch-Pagan Serial Correlation (LM) test, Ramsey test, and ARCH test) were
conducted to fulfill some of both Ordinary Least Square and normality assumptions.
Notably, the loan disbursement mechanism adopted by agricultural credit institutions
have fail to drive the Nigerian economy towards real growth despite the long run
nexus among the key variables, coupled with corruption, and policy summersaults in
the sector. Therefore, there is need for proper channelization of loans across board
with sustainable fiscal measures that can translate to actual growth.

The management of the cervical lymph nodes is an integral part of the overall treatment of the oral cavity malignancies. The indications and uses of the various types of neck dissections and pre and postoperative radiotherapy has been a subject of much debate. Based on the results of the present study and the literature available with us, we can conclude that, Dissemination of metastatic cancer to regional lymph nodes from primary sites in the upper aerodigestive tract occurs in a predictable and sequential pattern. For primary tumours in the oral cavity, the regional lymph nodes at the highest risk for early dissemination by metastatic cancer (first echelon nodes) are limited to levels 1,2 and 3, i.e., within the supraomohyoid triangle of neck. Skip metastasis to levels 4 and 5 in the absence of metastasis at levels 1,2 or 3 is very rare.

As a remarkable Victorian novelist, Charlotte Bronte wrote four impressive
novels including Jane Eyre and The Professor. Jane Eyre proves to be a typical
Victorian book, fascinating and enduring, whereas The Professor, the first complete
novel that Charlotte Bronte wrote has always been considered as minor and illconceived. Despite the totally different judgments of the two novels, there exists many
similarities between Jane Eyre and The Professor. This paper aims at helping readers
have a better understanding of The Professor by comparing with Jane Eyre from two
aspects: genre and theme, and try to find out the similarities of Jane Eyre and The
Professor, thus we can have a further understanding of Charlotte Bronte.

Torus is a ridge of bone or muscle that are usually asymptomatic unless
ulcerated but may sometimes affect speech and tongue movement, Torus palatinus and
torus mandibularis are the most common tori in the oral cavity. The objective of this
study was to determine the prevalence of torus palatinus and torus mandibularis among
5-15-year-old schoolchildren. A descriptive cross sectional school based study among
894 children selected by systematic random sampling from 10 basic schools in Khartoum
locality. Children were examined by mouth mirror at schools in an upright chair, where
presence, size, site of tori in the mandible and maxilla were recorded in check list.
Comparison between variables using chi square test with the level of significance set at
value <0.05. The prevalence of tori was 25% with the highest occurrence being the
palatal 23.7% and mandibular 5.7%, females count was more predominant compared to
males 63%, 37% respectively. There was a significance correlation between the age of
the children and presence of tori, Also between the presence of mandibular and palatal
tori and occurrence of bilateral tori p<0.05. The prevalence of tori was high among basic
schoolchildren in Khartoum locality, females were more affected with age 12-15 being

10.36348/sjm.2018.v03i04.003
Thrombocytopenia is a group of heterogeneous disorders of varying etiology and involving deficiency of platelets. Platelet volume parameters are significant especially in the diagnosis of causes of thrombocytopenia. The platelet volume parameters have been widely available as part of full blood count profile on automated hematology analyzers. To evaluate the relationship between platelet volume parameters and causative process in thrombocytopenia Methods: PLCR of 500 cases of thrombocytopenia (TCP) and 300 control cases having normal platelet counts were recorded. The analysis was done by Sysmex KX 21 cell counter and every case was reassessed by Peripheral Smear (P.S.) examination and if necessary also by the manual method. Only those cases that had sufficient clinico-hematological work up were included in the study. Results: Cases were grouped according to the most predominant mechanism of Group A-Accelerated platelet destruction, Group B-Impaired platelet production, and Group C-Abnormal platelet pooling. The age range was from 1 day to 90 years. The commonest age group for thrombocytopenia was between 21-30 years accounting for 88(18%) cases. 75(15%) cases belonged to both 31-40 and 41-50 age groups. The mean platelet large cell ratio P-LCR % was 22.64 ± 7.13 and in Group A it was 31.68 ± 8.36 and in Group B was 19.50 ± 5.51 and Group C was 31.48 ± 9.09. The Z test was performed between A, B and C Group with the control group of all the parameters of the platelet count. The P-LCR of accelerated destruction Group A, B, C and Vs Control were all significant values <0.05. Conclusion: Platelet Large cell ratio and the Platelet distribution width showed a direct linear relationship in all groups of Thrombocytopenia as well as the control group. Decreased production of platelets in cases of thrombocytopenia can be differentiated from other two groups of thrombocytopenia with the help of all the three parameters MPV, PDW and P-LCR as the differences are statistically significant.
