There is some controversy about assessment of nodal stage in staging systems used for gastric cancers. The goal of the this study is to assess the influence of metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) and number of resected lymph nodes on survival in patients with gastric cancer who were perfomed R0 resection due to gastric adenocarcinoma. Data from 125 patients with gastric carcinoma who underwent R0 resection due to from 2009 to 2015 investigated retrospectively. Cut-off values used for MLNR were 0.1-25%, 26-50% and >50%. Sex, age, size and location of tumor , differentiation, tumor invasion, lymphovascular invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes and MLNR were analyzed as prognostic factors. Five-year survival rate was 45.6%. Five-year survival rates among patients with pN0, pN1, pN2, pN3aand pN3b disease were 79%, 41%, 34%, 25% and 17%, respectively (p=0.0001). Five-year survival rates among patients in MLNR0, MLNR1, MLNR2 and MLNR3 categories were 79%, 42%, 28% and 5%, respectively (p=0.0001). Due to our results, tumor size, differentiation degree, depth of invasion, presence of lymphovascular invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes, MLNR and disease stage were found to be associated with survival (p=0.0001). According to results of multivariate analysis, differentiation degree, presence of lymphovascular invasion and MLNR were found as independent risk factors, while number of metastatic lymph nodes was not an independent risk factor regarding survival. MLNR is an independent risk factor in gastric adenocarcinoma patients undergoing R0 resection regarding survival.

As we have known from the Ancient History of Human Beings that for
their survival of Life, People are always live closely to the water. It is because water
is a basic need for Human Beings. For this reason, People build their houses along the
River's banks or on the beaches. Based on this Philosophy, we have seen along the
Kahayan's River Bank at the Central Kalimantan in Indonesia, there are the
settlements on it. For having more accurate data, we also made some interviews to the
People, who live in this settlement. We also made some Interviews to the some
officials of the Local Government of Central Kalimantan. We also have made Library
Research for having more clearly of its Research and to make it accomplished. We
have found that, in this Urban Settlement, there are Three Characteristics Houses at
the Kahayan's River Bank – Central Kalimantan. Due to the Natural Conditions, the
People of its region have built their houses by adopting its surrounding/natural
conditions. The Houses are the Floating‟s Houses located really on the River; The
Scaffolding‟s Houses/the Upraised Platform Houses located between the River and
the Land/ Water and Soil; The Ordinary‟s Houses located on the earth/ground/soil.
Focusing on how the People of this Region fulfill their needs in adopting the
Nature's/Environment's condition. We have tried to understand and distributing this
knowledge by explaining their characteristics of the houses from these elements, such
as the Location; the Materials of the Buildings; How People Live in it; the Layout of
the Houses; the Infrastructure; the Transportation; Trade and Commerce; the
Problems of the Settlement and also the impact to the River. We give also the
solution of the problems. The purpose this report we would like to sharing our
knowledge to the German alumni, UKI, University of Palangka Raya and also we

Napier grass is a popular tropical grass, employed by farmers in livestock nutrition. In this work, the matrices of matured shoots of P. purpureum (schumach) commonly called Napier grass, were subjected to proximate analysis, mineral content determination and phytochemical screening. The proximate profile includes moisture (91.00%), total ash (22.20% DW), crude protein (20.11% DW), crude fat (14.00% DW), total carbohydrate (27.24% DW) and the total metabolizable energy value (315.40 kcal/100g DW) was obtained. The mineral content determination revealed the presence of Calcium (1.479 mg/100g), Cadmium (0.001 mg/100g), Copper (0.017 mg/100g), Iron (0.200 mg/100g), Manganese (0.043 mg/100g), Potassium (10.715 mg/100g), Sodium (0.495 mg/100g), and Zinc (0.045 mg/100g). The presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, oils, saponins, steroids, tannins, terpenoids and absence of acidic compounds and resins were determined from the phytochemical screening carried out. This result suggests that Napier grass possesses several bioactivities of which antimicrobial activity is likely the significant activity. Also, the proximate composition and mineral content underlines its importance as a health food suitable for weight loss management of obese individuals, due to the high fibre content and low calorie value

The main aim and objective of the present research work was the preliminary phytochemical screening and evaluation of in vivo anti tumour activity of mthanolic and ethyl acetoacetate extracts of fruit of Punica granatum (ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG). Acute oral toxicity of ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG were performed according to the OECD guideline 423 method. The experimental results of acute oral toxicity studies revealed that all the extracts proved to be non toxic at tested dose levels and well tolerated by the experimental animals as there LD50 cut of values > 2000 mg/kg b. w. The in vivo antitumor activity of ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG was carried out against human colon cancer cell line HT 29. The present in vivo experimental data displayed that both ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG significantly increased the PILS. While 5-FU increased the life span of 85%, ME-FPG increased it by 75% and 67.5% by EAAE-FPG respectively ME-FPG. So ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG at dose 300 mg/kg significantly improved the overall survival of treated animals in comparison to tumour control group and 5-FU was not significantly differed from each other in improving the overall survival of animals. Histopathological study displayed a greater degree of tumour apoptosis and necrosis in the ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG treated group than in the control group. In addition, PCNA showed that administration of ME-FPG and EAAE-FPG decreased the proliferation of tumour tissues. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a DNA clamp that acts as a processivity factor for DNA polymerase δ in eukaryotic cells and is essential for replication

The public sectors play an active role through its involvement in the execution and delivery of public projects in order to improve the quality of life of the citizens. The kind of procurement method used in securing a project is vital to the success of a given project. The stakeholder’s input should be taken in accordance with their particular concern on different project definition elements, so that their involvement reflects the degree of their importance and relevance to the project. This review sought to establish the role of stakeholder engagement in project procurement in the Kenyan public sector. The study found that stakeholders are vital to the ethical decision making in project procurement and ultimately the successful completion of a project because their unwillingness to continuously support the vision or objectives of the project leads many projects to fail. Therefore, there is a need to engage the stakeholder in the project as early as possible to determine the need and capture stakeholder inputs in such projects.
