This study measured the blood pressure, lipid, lipoproteins and total antioxidant status in physically active premenopausal and postmenopausal school teachers in selected secondary schools in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. Thirty six premenopausal (group I) and forty postmenopausal (group II) participated in the study. Body weight, height, waist- hip circumference, Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of the teachers were measured. Body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were calculated using standard formulae. Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured by enzymatic methods. Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and Very Low Density Lipoproteins Cholesterol (VLDLC) were calculated using Friedewald's equation. Total Antioxidant Status (TAS) was measured by spectrophotometric method. Results showed that the means of BMI (30.98 ± 4.86), WHR (0.87 ± 0.10), TG (1.74 ± 0.50) and VLDL (0.79 ± 0.23) in group II were increased (p<0.05) when compared with corresponding means of BMI (28.19± 4.81), WHR (0.85± 0.06), TG (0.89 ± 0.80) and VLDL (0.40 ± 0.36) in group I. A decrease in mean TAS (1.16 ± 0.07) in group II was observed when compared with corresponding mean TAS (1.24 ± 0.03) of group I. A negative association (r = -0.371, p<0.01) was observed between age and TAS. No difference was seen in mean SBP, DBP and levels of TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C in group II when compared with values of group I. Changes in TAS, lipids and lipoproteins observed in post menopausal women could be associated with oxidative stress, aging process and hormonal changes in menopause and could lead to an increased risk in developing CVD despite absence of a sedentary lifestyle.

Periodontal disease has been recently linked to a variety of systemic conditions such as diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, preterm delivery, and oral cancer. Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma is a lethal disease whose
incidence is increasing. The most common bacteria associated with periodontal disease, Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.
gingivalis) has not yet been significantly studied in the malignant gingival tissues. The objective of this study was to
investigate the presence of P. gingivalis in specimens taken from the deeper tissue biopsy in squamous cell carcinoma
patients. We have performed Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction(PCR) technique to investigate the presence of P.
gingivalis in deeper tissue biopsy samples of gingival squamous cell carcinoma. P. gingivalis is abundantly present in
malignant oral epithelium suggesting a potential association of the bacteria with gingival squamous cell carcinoma.
These observations may help to explain, in part, the predominant role that P. gingivalis plays as an infectious agentin oral
malignant patients.
Wasp stings are not uncommon worldwide. In developed countries people are affected by one or few stings. Commonly cause self-limiting local reaction. Infrequently more serious systemic reactions such as anaphylaxis, rhabdomyolysis, and intravascular haemolysis may occur, especially with multiple stings. Wasps stung complicated with multiple organ damage is frequently reported, but complicated with pancreatitis is very rare complication as well as it is a life threatening phenomenon.

Code-switching (CS), as a phenomenon of language contact, has aroused great attention from various fields.
Researchers do studies on code-switching from different perspectives like the sociolinguistic, grammatical,
psycholinguistic perspectives and conversation analysis perspective, etc. This thesis based on Verschueren’s Adaptation
Theory and Yu Guodong’s Adaption Model studies exact ads in order to summarize the reasons and features of EnglishChinese code-switching. Through analysis, it can be found that CS as a pragmatic strategy in advertising discourse can
provide microscopic view of language inner structure for the purpose of adaptation to linguistic reality, social rules and
wishes of audience. Therefore, this adaption can help advertiser to better carry out publicity and code-switching can truly
become an effective advertising strategy.

Pakistan Meat Exports: Strategizing Productivity Enhancement. A Policy Paper
Shoaib Sarwar, Dr. Muhammad Aleem
Page no 561-567 |
10.21276/sjbms
This chronicle encompasses the value chain of Pakistan Meat Exports with the help of industry stakeholders.
Global Halal food trade is believed to be approximately US$ 1.3 billion, which was US$ 0.5 billion, annually, just 5-6
years ago. The case study of country’s meat export has indicated the existing condition of farmers, meat processors,
exporters, target markets, supply chains management, marketing approaches, financial constraints, and sustainability of
business. The exporters have been competing in 8-10% share of carcass (meat with bones) market globally and
neglecting 90-92% share of boneless and value added meat products internationally. India has become the largest
exporter of meat products in 2017 with 1,925,000 Metric Tons and China’s growing population and demand for food
products have made them one of the biggest importers of meat/meat products (950,000 Metric Tons), respectively in
recent years as illustrated by USDA. FAO has stated that human meat protein consumption will rise from 25.5 kg to 37
kg by 2030. The research methodology used for this policy paper is semi structured interviews and meetings with meat
industry stakeholders. Pakistan meat export is at 35,388 Metric tons and worth of US$ 244 million (2015) which
constitutes predominantly the chilled carcass meat. Its value added meat products has negligible share in global market
due to non-reliable supply chain, lack of local meat brands, and poorly managed marketing strategies. Majority of our
meat exporters have been dealing with Pakistani expatriates overseas which has high risk due to financial fragility.
Proposals and recommendations have been submitted on small to medium term and medium to long term strategies to
increase the profitability and productivity of meat export sector of Pakistan. It is highly recommended to establish local
meat brands, which will aid the industry to learn with meat production, processing, supply chain, and marketing
management to further compete in world meat market. Nevertheless, it is only possible after de-capping the price of meat
in the local markets.

This study is an empirical investigation into the quantitative effect of credit risk management on the
performance of Nigeria’s Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) and Bank lending growth over the period of 17 years (1998-
2014). Secondary data for empirical analysis was obtained from CBN Statistical bulletin 2014 and World Bank (WDI)
2015. The study employed multiple linear regression model to analyze the time series data. The result showed that sound
credit management strategies can boost investors and savers confidence in banks and lead to a growth in funds for loans
and advances which leads to increased bank profitability.. The findings revealed that credit risk management has an
insignificant impact on the growth of total loans and advances by Nigerian Deposit money banks. The study therefore
recommends that DMBs in Nigeria should strictly adhere to their credit appraisal policies which ensures that only credit
worthy borrowers have access to loanable funds. Banks are to ensure that funds are allocated to borrowers with decent to
high credit ratings.
