Cinnamon has a long history both as a spice and as a medicine. This study was carried out to screen the phytochemicals of the extract as well as to evaluate the acute (LD50) and sub-chronic toxicities of aqueous bark extract of Cinnamomum verum in rats. A total of twenty eight rats were used in this study, thirteen for acute toxicity test and fifteen for sub chronic toxicity. The acute toxicity study was done in two phases; in phase I, nine rats were divided into three groups of three rats each and were administered the aqueous bark extract of Cinnamomum verum at different doses of 10, 100 and 1000mg/kg body weight orally. The rats were observed for mortality and general behavior for 24hrs. In phase II, four rats were administered with aqueous bark extract of Cinnamomum verum at higher doses of 1500, 2500, 3500 and 5000mg/kg and were observed for mortality and other signs of toxicity for 24hrs. For the sub chronic toxicity experiment, fifteen rats were divided into five groups of three rats each. Group 1 was the control group, groups II to V were orally administered 50, 100, 150 and 200mg/kg of aqueous bark extract of Cinnamomum verum respectively for four weeks. The rats were sacrificed and blood samples collected for biochemical analysis of liver and kidney functions. The result of phytochemical screening revealed the presence of saponins, reducing sugars, flavonoids, steroids, resins and cardiac glycosides. Acute toxicity revealed that the extract was practically non-toxic with oral LD50 greater than 5000mg/kg body weight. The levels of ALP, ALT, AST and TP of the test groups decreased significantly (p<0.05) with respect to control group while serum TB, ALB increased with respect to control group. A significant decrease (p<0.05) in serum electrolytes, creatinine and urea and an increase in serum bicarbonate was observed in extract administered groups in a dose dependent pattern compared to normal control. In conclusion, these results showed that the extract is rich in phytochemicals and was found to be relatively safe at administered doses

In the State of Qatar, the intense and rapid urban development based on hosting upcoming mega events, as envisioned by Qatar‟s National Vision (QNV- 2030), have raised concern about community stability as it faces modernization in both physical and social aspects. A declining sense of community amid has been associated with interactions within urban amenities and form that trigger social problems, diminish a community‟s well-being and delay development. The integration of a community within the urban physical realm contributes to the development of sustainable communities. The research study aims to identify major urban concepts that contribute to resilience in both socio economic and demographic context. Qualitative community sustainability is investigated in Al-Wakrah city neighborhood through site visits, observation and interviews in order to establish a measure for urban characteristics that are catalysts for sustainable community development in future urban planning decisions.

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between social intelligence and change leadership behaviors. Seventy-six managers of five listed firms in Thailand were gathered for data collection through the modified version of TromsØ social intelligence scale and a newly developed scale of change leadership. Using stepwise regression analysis, results of this study revealed that social information processing explained 22% of variance (R2 = .222, F (1, 76) = 21.106, p < .001), which demonstrated a significantly positive relationship between social information processing and change leadership (β = .471, p <.001). This can be concluded that the more managers had social information processing characteristic, the more likely they would demonstrate their change leadership behaviors. Discussion, limitations, and recommendations for further studies were also discussed.

In this paper, I argue that there is clear evidence of neglect of higher education in post-independent South Sudan. The study, therefore, interrogates the scope of the higher education crisis in the country and assesses prospects for change from the standpoint of equity and quality using institutionalism as a theoretical framework. The study points out that the crisis of the system runs through the tapestry of South Sudan’s history of state formation against which the variable of nation-building at the dawn of Independence in 2011 has failed to assign adequate value for higher education in the pursuit of the objectives of national transformation in particular, and modernisation in general. It remains to be seen if the political leadership and the academic community could define the payload of South Sudan’s higher education system as the country transitions into a constitutional democracy capable of according greater autonomy and initiative to its universities; and revisiting the whole gamut of post-secondary education in order to render it more responsive to addressing the needs of society, particularly in non-academic streams of learning. Besides the historical and institutional challenges, the higher education system of South Sudan must expedite its internationalisation as its formative years wane out. The fundamental requirement is for its competent and dynamic scholars to lead a spirited dialogue and concerted action that should not be broken off by recurrent political violence. This is a must if South Sudan is to stand on the cusp of real transformation in its higher education landscape.

One of the common clinical observations regarding long-standing diabetes is peripheral neuropathic pain, probably due to its destructive effects on the pain modulating neurons of the dorsal gray column of the spinal cord. Accordingly, the current study was aimed to analyze the effect of experimental hyperglycemia on pain modulating neurons in the lamina I-III of lumbar region of spinal cord of albino rats. Thirty-six albino rats with average weight ~250 g were grouped equally into six. Diabetes was induced with a single dose of streptozotocin (STZ, 60 mg/kg, i.p.). At the end of each experimental period, rats were euthanized by deep ether anesthesia, blood was collected and animals were perfused with Karnovsky fixative. Spinal cord was dissected and processed for histopathological and morphometric parameters and blood for biochemical analysis. Biochemical analysis of all diabetic groups revealed increased serum creatinine and reduced serum total protein. Histopathology and histomorphometry of dorsal gray column and ependymal cells and surrounding structures revealed that with the progressively increasing duration of hyperglycemia was associated with decreased number of pain modulating neurons in the lamina I-III as well as ependymal cell and in addition deposition of collagen fibers in the tunica adventitia of spinal arteries and around the small spinal vessels. The associations of long-standing hyperglycemia with reduction of dorsal gray column inter neurons, demyelination of nerve fibres and excessive deposition of collagen fibers in the tunica adventitia of blood vessels appear to be important contributing factors likely to be responsible for the diabetes-induced peripheral neuropathic pain

Management uses strategic concepts to make the allocation of resources more effective in achieving educational goals. The process that plays an important role in determining strategic objectives is developed by various conflictive forces from within and outside. Like STAI Chairman Ibnu Sina, lecturers, stakeholders, students, parents, campus supply providers, central and provincial governments, municipalities and social groups are paying attention to campus programs. Educational institutions need to identify competitors' strategies, objectives, strengths, weaknesses, and patterns of reaction, they also need to know how to design effective information systems.

Polymeric materials obtained from plant sources have become very versatile excipients for the formulation of pharmaceutical dosage form especially tablet dosage form. This study was aimed at the preliminary characterization of Myrianthus arboreus gum as pharmaceutical excipient. Myrianthus arboreus gum was extracted from the dried powdered leaves of Myrianthus arboreus plant and characterized based on parameters such as micromeritic properties, phytochemical evaluation, viscosity, loss on drying, solubility, ash value and swelling index. The results obtained from this study showed a yield of gum after extraction of 11.34 % and swelling index of 97.63 % after 48 hours. A 1 % w/v dispersion of gum gave pH and viscosity values of 6.73 and 4,333 mPa·s respectively. Myrianthus arboreus gum exhibited fairly good flow properties with angle of repose of 31.65 º, bulk and tapped densities of 0.46 and 0.62 g/ml respectively and Carr’s index value of 25.33 %. The gum was found to swell in cold water, soluble in hot water and insoluble in organic solvents. It can be concluded therefore that Myrianthus arboreus gum could possibly be used as pharmaceutical excipient for the formulation of liquid and solid dosage forms

Abstract: We describe the first and rare case report of a cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) in a seventh decade diabetic and hypertensive women from low highlands, Jazan, Saudi Arabia. The evidence of the clinical scenario, laboratories testing , radiological images findings followed by treatment with steroid is quite enough to diagnose COP, irrespective of lung tissue biopsy procedures and processing accessibility for histopathology, in a timely manner as reveals in Yahya Al-FIFI’s diagnostic criteria for cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) without a lung tissue histopathology. We started a methylprednisolone forty milligram intravenously every eight hourly for seven days which is showing a dramatic clinical improvement within initial twenty-four hours of first seven days and complete recovery clinically and radiologically, at the end of the following fourteen days of tapering prednisolone doses without a relapse for seven months. Our successful experience approach in this case of COP has several advantages include that an early diagnosis and introduction of methylprednisolone may lead to preserve lung function, avoidance of biopsies procedure complications, may prevent relapses, early hospital discharge, improve the morbidity, mortality and the quality of life of the patient. So, we conclude these clinical, laboratories testing, and radiological findings are quite enough to diagnosing and treating with methylprednisolone to rescue patient life, when a lung biopsy performance accessibility or feasibility is obscured or delayed. We observe that beta-lactam; ceftriaxone and piperacillin/tazobactam, glycopeptide; vancomycin and macrolide; clarithromycin antibiotics are not effective in our patient COP case scenario. “Yahya Al-FIFI’s diagnostic criteria for cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) without a lung tissue histopathology is easy and sufficient enough to assess physician to diagnose COP in acceptable time frame and may have favorable outcome over all.

Abstract: Glass fibers find use in automotive, building, marine, wood and numerous other industries, reaching 5 million tons annual consumption, mainly comprising the reinforcing phase in polymers. The high amount of industrial demand have also caused an increasing research interest for their recovery, recycle and reuse as solid waste treatment and utilization for cost effective and environmentally friendly production processes. In this study, the effects of matrix/fibers ratio on the mechanical and physical properties of glass fiber reinforced composites were investigated. The properties of polyesters were compared with the reinforced polyester. The microstructure of the composites was characterized by SEM-SE technique. It was determined that with the increasing glass fibers content, the flexural and impact strength were reduced, while the flexural modulus and hardness were enhanced and the total porosity was increased.
