Performance of employee brings organization’s achievements in the business world where rivalry among the
organizations is very common. In this connection, the academicians and practitioners do struggle to reach a conclusion
about the determinants of employee performance. As a result, the study endeavors to develop a structural equation model
with the help of PLS technique in determining the relationship among employee relations with supervisor, employee
engagement, and employee performance in the context of developing country. The opinions of 392 employees have been
collected through survey method who works in the ready-made garment industry in Bangladesh. The findings of the
study revealed that employee relations with supervisor have influence on employee performance and employee
engagement; and employee engagement mediates employee relations and employee performance relationship. Therefore,
the model is expected to be used in the developing context as a method for increasing employee performance.

C-reactive protein (CRP) was discovered by Tillet and Francis in 1930 as a substance in the serum of patients
with acute inflammation that reacted with the C polysaccharide of pneumococcus. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute
phase protein which reflects a measure of the acute phase response. CRP, which is present in only small amounts in
healthy individuals, is involved in several processes of the unspecific immunologic defense. The serum levels of CRP
raises with infection making it a positive acute phase reactant. This review mainly highlights the role of CRP in the field
of Oral and maxillofacial surgery, It provides a knowledge based framework for interpretation and analysis of clinical
observations of CRP in relation to infection and other pathologies in orofacial region.

Abstract: In recent years, ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been widely used as a technical means to understand the characteristics of subsurface geological deposition. However, there has not been any ground penetrating radar to recognize the internal configuration of the dam. The aim of this study is to form a composite dam with a point bar stack. Firstly, the highest resolution frequency of GPR is selected, and then the data are taken in the study area. And eliminate the influence of various factors on data volume. On the basis of the previous work, the location, the formation mechanism and the spatial distribution of the composite dam are determined by measuring the location of the point dam overlap and the dip angle, inclination and thickness of the lateral accretion.

Saudi J. Pathol. Microbiol.
Lumps in the breast are common especially in women of reproductive age, majority of these lumps which
mimic or are suspected to be breast cancers clinically and radiologically are later found to be benign breast diseases
histologically. This study therefore aims to determine the prevalence of benign breast diseases in this environment and
describe the spectrum of histopathologic pattern of Benign Breast Diseases that is seen in Port Harcourt. A review of
benign surgical breast specimen from the university of Port Harcourt teaching hospital was done. A total of 2002 breast
specimens were diagnosed as benign between January 2007 and December 2011. 397 paraffin blocks were suitable for
this study. No lesions from male patients or congenital lesions were observed in this study. 117 of these lesions (29.5%)
were non proliferative breast lesions, 275 (69.3%) were proliferative breast lesions without atypia, and 5 (1.2%) were
proliferative breast lesions with atypia. The commonest non proliferative lesion was fibrocystic change while the
commonest proliferative lesion was fibroadenoma. The proliferative lesion with atypia was atypical ductal hyperplasia.

N/A
Abstract: The principle of non-refoulement is seen by most in the international law arena as fundamental to refugee law. Since its expression in the Refugee Convention in 1951, it has played a key role in how states deal with refugees and asylum seekers. Scholars and Experts in refugee law define it as the idea that ‘no refugee should be returned to any country where he or she is likely to face persecution or torture’. This paper discusses the non-refoulement in Canada, Australia, and Belgium–three western States knowing for their constant reference to international law. When deporting a person can lead to torture and arbitrarily deprivation of life, that deportation potentially violates an international obligation or a State’s constitution. It is now well established that International Human Rights treaties impose obligations on States to protect persons from refoulement beyond the terms of the Refugee Convention. The paper expresses its concerns for the violation of international conventions from these Western States. I argue that these developed States’ application of these norms reflects partial compliance with its obligations, as it acknowledges important humanitarian concerns regarding international protection. This paper argues that these States’ application of these norms reflects partial compliance with their obligations, as it acknowledges important humanitarian concerns regarding international protection. The paper offers suggestions, which might assist their respective governments in developing a more effective approach to the assumption and implementation of international human rights obligations.

Amongst the various complications reported for single visit endodontics, incidence of post endodontic pain
(PEP) is the most common. To evaluate and compare the incidence, duration, intensity and nature of post endodontic
pain (PEP) in single visit endodontic treatment, following biomechanical preparation (BMP), using K files with Step
Back Technique, Protaper Next with Crown down Technique and Passive Ultrasonic Instrumentation (PUI) along with
Protaper Next. 75 patients, with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis in Maxillary anterior teeth were selected and treated
with single sitting root canal treatment, by a single operator. Patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, Control (K
files using step back technique), Experimental 1 (Protaper Next using crown down technique) and Experimental 2
(Protaper Next along with PUI). Patients were recalled, examined and asked to fill up questionnaire after 3hrs, 24 hrs, 48
hrs and 7 days of wearing-off of anaesthesia. On the basis of response given in the feedback forms, PEP was evaluated
for incidence, duration, intensity and nature. Statistical analysis of the data was carried out using Chi square test and level
of significance (p < 0.05) was evaluated. Incidence of PEP was identical in the two experimental groups, which was
lower than the control group. Statistically, difference in the incidence of pain, amongst the three groups was found to be
non-significant. The duration of pain was longest in Control group, with more patients, experiencing pain, whereas it was
least in Experimental group 2. Across the groups, maximum patients experienced mild, continuous pain. Majority of
patients experience PEP that is mild, continuous, localised and precipitated by trigger factors. It lasts longer, with hand
instruments.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the commonest presenting symptoms in gynaecology out-patient
department. The term dysfunctional uterine bleeding is used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding for which no specific
cause has been found. Evaluation of histopathological pattern of endometrium is essential for appropriate management
of patient with abnormal uterine bleeding. Endometrial biopsy could be effectively used as the first diagnostic step in
DUB. This study was done to evaluate histopathology of endometrium for identifying the endometrial causes of DUB.
This is a prospective study, undertaken in the department of pathology. This study consisted of 150 cases of
hysterectomy specimens and endometrial scrapings received in the department of Pathology, Bhaskar Medical College
and Satya Diagnostic Centre, Hyderabad, Telangana State. Total duration of study was 2 years i.e from June 2014 to
November 2016. 150 endometrial lesions diagnosed on histopathology were selected for the final analyses. The most
common age group presenting with DUB was 40–49 years (49.3%). The commonest pattern in these patients was
proliferative endometrium (29.3%),followed by secretory endometrium (14%) and simple cystic hyperplasia (9.3%).
Other patterns identified were endometrial polyp, complex hyperplasia without atypia, endometrial carcinoma, pill
endometrium ,complex hyperplasia with atypia , endometritis , atrophic endometrium and adenomatous hyperplasia.
Endometrial causes of DUB and age pattern was statistically significant with P value <0.05. Histopathological
examination of endometrium should be done generously in women presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding especially
after the age of 40 years to rule out malignancy. It is useful for diagnosis, to assess therapeutic response and to know the
pathological incidence of organic lesions in cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding prior to surgery.

Iraq is one of the richest countries in the world with natural resources, especially oil and natural gas. This
country has been subjected to a series of wars and economic blockade for many years, affecting the country's
infrastructure and causing the deterioration of services provided to citizens. Perhaps one of the poorest services is the fuel
produced in the refineries of the country, as the Iraqi gasoline and diesel are considered of the worst fuels on the global
level. The locally produced gasoline contains high sulfur content (500ppm) in addition to a high percentage of lead
compounds to increase octane. Iraqi diesel is considered the world's worst with 1 to 2.5% of its weight is sulfur. Iraqi
researchers have spared no effort to find alternative fuels that give better engine performance and lower exhaust
pollutants while improving fuel consumption. This paper examines some of these efforts over the past years and the
various findings of Iraqi investigators results using gaseous fuels such as natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and
hydrogen, in addition to the use of some additives to gasoline and diesel, such as oxygenates and biofuels to reduce the
effects of sulfur associated with these types of fuel. Researchers have gone a long way in reaching multiple types and
alternative methods of operation to reduce the pollutants generated by the engines, and it remains the responsibility of
decision-makers to choose the most appropriate ones.

Abstract: We applied the wavelet methodology to study the results of the chaotic behavior of the production of particles in relativistic collisions of heavy ions. We use wavelet coherence to analyze the correspondence between theoretical and experimental data. We examined the 1-D phase space of variable (the case -space). We also compared the wavelet coherence values for -space and -space. It was also shown that the values of the wavelet of coherence depend on the values of the parameters p and q. We discussed our new results for the comparison purpose and findings were in the good agreements.

Abstract: Success of a complete denture relies on the basic principles of retention, stability and support. The increased interarch space in severely resorbed ridges of maxilla and mandible provides decreased support, retention and stability. In order to decrease the leverage, reduction in the weight of the dentures is recommended. This article describes a case report of an edentulous patient with severely resorbed maxillary ridge in which a simplified technique for fabricating a light weight hollow maxillary complete denture was used.

This study was conducted to identify any possible association between the different microorganisms within
oral cavity of smokers and oral cancer patients. Isolates were collected from 30 volunteers; smokers and oral cancer
patients during August and October 2013 in Khartoum Dental Hospital, Sudan. Swabs were obtained from both patients
and smokers who were not diagnosed as diabetics or immunosuppressed. Administration of antibiotic, steroid or other
treatment were taken in concern as well as age, gender beside smoking history. Each specimen was aseptically cultured
on nonselective media under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, then the conventional methods for identification
were done. A total number of 45 bacterial isolates were represented by 6 genera of bacteria; (37.7%) Staphylococcus
spp, (26.6%) Bacillus spp , (22.2%) Streptococcus spp , (8.8%) Peptococcus spp., Aerococcus spp and Micrococcus spp
(2.2%), whereas 25 yeast isolates were represented by Candida albicans. In the smokers group; Peptococcus spp was
detected only in subjects who is being smoking. Moreover, the study showed significant(r = 0.563) correlation between
oral cancer and smoking. In patients group; Streptococcus spp and C. albicans were detected only in individuals without
treatment. Counts of C. albicans were elevated in smokers group than patients, while, Micrococcus spp and Aerococcus
spp were detected in patients but not in smokers. Study concludes that both of Micrococcus spp and Aerococcus spp may
be considered as diagnostic indicators of oral cancer.

The seeming non autonomy of work in the studied organization necessitated this study. The study examined
the type of relationship between job enrichment and employee commitment in selected brewing firms in Anambra State.
A survey research design was adopted. A sample of 156 respondents was selected from the population size of 543 using
Taro Yamani Formula. A 12-item questionnaire with close ended questions was used for data collection. Pearson Product
Moment Correlation Coefficient was used for data analysis. Finding showed that there is a significant positive
relationship between job autonomy and affective commitment among the employees in the selected brewing firms. It was
also found that when the jobs of the employees are enriched, their commitment level would increase positively and that
would ultimately increases their productivity level in the organization. The study recommended that organizations should
focus on giving employees a considerable level of job autonomy, this would enable them to utilize their skills and ability
to complete assigned tasks and take responsibility for their actions, as well as maintaining strong loyalty and commitment
level to the organization.
