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.

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 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.

Thus, the study focused on those critical factors that can easily and positively affect the organizational performance. Having proved by previous TQM researchers how organizational culture and practices significantly influence the overall organizational goal and performance, if adopted and implemented with sincerity, this study will help Libya’s Oil and Gas Sector to improve its competitiveness among firms, quality of products and services, and a standard customer expectation.

Xanthogranulomatous gastritis is an extremely rare condition and only few cases have been reported in literature. It is an inflammatory tumor like lesion usually misdiagnosed preoperatively as an advanced gastric cancer. We report one such rare case in a 68 year old female who came with complaint of epigastric pain and vomiting for 15 days. Endoscopy revealed solitary elevated nodule in the gastric lesser curvature. Clinical diagnosis was suspicious of gastric carcinoma. Histopathologically foamy histiocytes with dense chronic inflammatory infiltrate were seen in gastric wall suggestive of xanthogranulomatous gastritis

This study empirically examines the impact of economic growth and access to safe drinking water on life expectancy in Nigeria using Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) model as tool of analysis for the period 1980 - 2014. The result of this study indicates that economic growth and access to safe drinking water exert positive and statistically significant impact on life expectancy at birth. Consequently, upon the findings of this study, a number of recommendations are given which include: the need for the governments to intensify its existing policies in order to maintain inclusive economic growth that would increase employment generation and reduce poverty for better life expectancy. Moreover, there is also need for governments, Nongovernmental organizations, international development partners and philanthropists to intervene in improving access to safe and portable drinking water in both rural and urban areas through construction of boreholes, pipe water, public taps or standpipes, tube wells, protected dug wells, protected springs, and rainwater collection reservoirs.

They include Cell surface antigens; Cytoplasmic proteins, Enzymes, Hormones and most of them are proteins. They can be products of cancer cells themselves or of the body in response to cancer or other conditions. A marker represents a qualitative or quantitative alteration or deviation from normal of a molecule, substance, or process that can be detected by some type of assay. An elevated level of a tumor marker can indicate cancer; however there can also be other causes of the elevation. Thus, Tumour markers cannot be construed as primary modalities for the diagnosis of cancer. These tumor markers help in screening, diagnosing the diseased condition, staging of the disease, guiding and monitoring the treatment, to determine the prognosis and to prevent recurrence.

Breast feeding with timely started complementary feeding is the best way of infant feeding. It is necessary for infant’s overall development, better growth, fulfilling nutritional requirement and it is most vital for reducing infant mortality. Objective of our study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of complementary feeding among mothers in a tertiary Care Centre of Central India. A cross sectional study was done about knowledge of mothers with children below 2 year of age with help of pretested self-designed questionnaire based interview who are attending paediatrics OPD and IPD. In our study most of mothers did not know correct time of starting complementary feeding, they also did not know what food can be given, frequency and amount of complementary feed. In our study knowledge, attitude as well as practise towards complementary feeding was lacking hence health education to mother and family members required about correct feeding in early years of life.

In Kenya, following the promulgation of the new constitution, county governments are implementing most policies and priorities in accordance with national development agenda. As a labour intensive enterprise, county governments require quality employees as it directly relates to how well the county performs. This paper investigates how county governments can utilize a combination of recruitment and selection practices, person organization fit and employment policies for improved employee performance. The study findings pointed that recruitment and selection practices, person organization fit and employment policies such as equal employment opportunity have a direct significant influence on employee performance at 5% level. However, the interaction among the factors (recruitment/selection practices, person organization fit and employment policies) does not influence employee performance. This study recommends that county governments should enhance their recruitment and selection process through better human resource planning, adopt appropriate organizational culture that can attract intended employees and job characteristics. Improvement of information provided during recruitment process, their ability to gauge employee job competencies and fairness of their selection in order to improve employee performance. In addition, efforts by county governments to accurately estimate the person-organization fit of their prospective employees and promote fair employment policies such as equal employment opportunities is critical because it influences employee performance.

Atorvastatin is lipid lowering drug use in different cases to prevent complications of hyperlipidemia by lowering lipid mainly affect cholesterol, but it also affect in concentration of other serum parameters such as uric acid and creatinine. Case-control study was conducted during the period between Marchs to May 2017, included 100 participants 60% cases and 40% control with age between (20-70) years. Case group included 62% female and 38% male, used different doses (10, 20 and 40 mg/day) and different durations using for variable conditions such as (DM, HTN or protection for risk of CVD). Control group was matched for cases group but not used any lipid lowering drugs. The result of this study showed that significant association between atorvastatin uses and decrease in UA, Cr, T.Chl and LDL (P-value: 0.000, 0.020, 0.015 & 0.018 respectively). Decrease in all parameters by increase dose but not significant only significant with dose 40 mg/day (p-value: 0.037, 0.044, 0.044 & 0.005 respectively). Decrease in Cr, TCh and LDL by increasing the durational of atorvastatin intake and concentration (P= 0.042, 0.001 & 0.000 respectively). Significant relation was detected between combination DM & HTN and increase UA (4.55±0.87) & Cr (0.69±0.16) (P-value: 0.032 & 0.015 respectively) no significant relation with T.Chl and LDL (P-value: 0.636 & 0.594 respectively). Significant decrease in UA, Cr, T .Cho & LDL mean concentration found among atorvastatin user and the dose 40mg/day is highly significant effect. No correlation between durational of atorvastatin used and the parameter concentration. A more research should be done to detect specific correlation between atorvastatin and this parameters.
