Abstract: Leadership in an organization is like a cornerstone in a storey building in that the leader gives the direction and guidance towards achievement of the set goals. Most of the organizations do have the drafts, but how the leader decides in terms of priority and resource allocation determines the overall outcome. Thus, a visionary leader in any organization is a tree seedling that needs to be nurtured. This paper explores the influence of strategic leadership on organizational performance in selected banks within Nakuru Sub County. The study used primary data obtained from the respondents and secondary data from the journals, books and other print media. The study employed a descriptive survey design. Structured questionnaire to collect data where both closed and open-ended questions were used to get the opinions of the respondents. There was 84% response rate and only 16% non-responses. The data collected was first coded and the opinions of the respondents analyzed by use of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Pearson correlation and Chi-square tests were used to estimate the relationship between the strategic leadership and the organization performances. The data was later presented in tabular form and charts for easier interpretation. It was hoped that the findings of the study would clearly show the importance of developing strategic leaders that will create a viable future for the organization.

Percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) has rapidly emerged in recent years; it is proven to be safe and less time-consuming when compared to surgical technique. In critical care settings, the use of PCT has been widely accepted and some authors consider it the gold standard method. Although PCT is relatively a safe procedure, it still can be associated with some serious complications. Massive percutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of PCT, which might be life-threatening. We report a patient with Guillian-Barre syndrome (GBS), who was admitted to an intensive care unit and required prolonged ventilation. Bedside PCT was performed and ended with the development of an immediate diffuse massive surgical emphysema and desaturation, followed by cardiac arrest regardless of the treatment measures

There is uncertainty as to the comparative prognostic value between cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and CK-MB in
acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The objective is to compare the prognostic value between cTnI and CK-MB mass in
patients with ACS without ST-segment elevation. Total 127 patients were analyzed in a prospective way in a tertiary
cardiology center. Combinations of biomarkers were examined: normal cTnI, normal CK-MB mass (65.5%), normal
cTnI, elevated CK-MB mass (3.9%), elevated cTnI, normal CK-MB mass (8.8%), elevated cTnI, elevated CK-MB
mass (20.7%). A multivariate analysis of clinical, electrocardiographic and laboratory variables determined the
independent prognostic value of biomarkers for the event of death or (re)infarction within 30 days. Patients with at least
one elevated biomarker were older (p = 0.02) and males (p < 0.001). The previous use of aspirin (p = 0.001), betablockers (p = 0.003) or statin (p = 0.013) was most frequent among those without elevated cTnI. Patients with both
biomarkers elevated had more ST-segment depression (p < 0.001) or elevated creatinine (p < 0.001). In a multivariate
analysis with the inclusion of cTnI, the CK-MB mass was not an independent variable for the event of death or (re)
infarction within 30 days (odds ratio [OR] 1.16, p = 0.71). When cTnI was not included, we had the following values:
age (OR 1.07; p < 0.001); male (OR 1.09; p = 0.77); diabetes mellitus (OR 1.95; p = 0.02); previous stroke (OR 3.21; p
=0.008); creatinine level (OR 1.63; p = 0.002); CK-MB mass (OR 1.96; p = 0.03). C-statistic 0.77 (p < 0.001). With a
dose of cTnI, CK-MB mass may be dispensable for prognostic evaluation. If cTnI is unavailable, CK- MB mass is
acceptable for making a decision on treatment options.

The author’s earlier publications have shown the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) of the original drug material in all the higher dilutions of homeopathic drugs; viz, Lycopodium and Ferrummetallicum. The present study is to compare the two different scales of potencies discovered by Samuel Hahnemann; with the help of HRTEM and EDS. It is found that:- i) all the high dilutions (HDs) of Natrummuriaticum (Nat mur) contain NPs; ii) the size of NPs is within quantum dots (QD) size range, except for 6C, where larger particles are found (14nm); iii) NPs contain Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl)in various weight percentages; iv) The smallest NPs in higher concentration are present in 50 millesimal (LM) scale; v) The weight percentage of Na and Cl is very high (more than 99%) in all the potencies of LM scale except in LM6.The combined weight percentage of Na and Cl is less than 1% in all centesimal scale of potencies except in CM, where it is 1.09%; vi) The presence of elements other than Na and Cl is many in centesimal scale. The presence of other elements has been negligible in LM scale and vii) The comparative analysis shows that LM scale HDs are rich in the NPs than in centesimal scale HDs.

Abstract: This is a quasi-experimental method of research aimed to create electronics gadget voltage time delay device for protection of electrical appliances from power spike due to brownouts at affordable cost. Result showed a fluctuation of voltage, current, and power but is ideal based on the three percent voltage drop in a line. The mean temperature for the three treatments in all replicate was normal base on the maximum temperature of the magnetic contactor which is 1000C. The device was used for electronics instruction where the performance of the students was improved based on the pretest and posttest scores. The reliability of the test based on the posttest result was 0.75 interpreted as good which means that the assessment instrument is good; however, there are probably few items which could be improved. Testing the hypothesis of no significant correlation between the pretest and the post test at 0.01 and 0.05 levels of significance, researcher failed to provide sufficient evidence to accept the null hypothesis. The knowledge and skills obtained by the students on the different processes involved during the fabrication of the device can help to engage entrepreneurial activity to augment poverty alleviation.

Search and creation new biologically active compounds which exhibit diuretic action is an current task of the modern Medical Chemistry. In order to identify diuretic activity a series of 5-substituted of 1,3,4-thiadiazole have been investigated. As index of urinary intensity the amount of urine was considered allocated by animals for 2 hours in terms of 100 g of body weight. In determining the diuretic action, a hydrochlorothiazide was selected as a comparative preparation. Screening research which have been conducted together with the study of the effect on the excretory renal function showed that the synthesized compounds exhibit diuretic activity, competing with the comparison standard. The comparative analysis of the biological action of 5-substituted of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and the preparation "Hydrochlorothiazide" showed that the most active among these compounds are derivatives with code 1.1 and 2.2, which significantly exceed the diuretic effect of the reference medicine. The prospectivity and feasibility of further targeted synthesis of this class of substances has shown to create more effective and safe medicines with diuretic action

Abstract: The brewing industry in Nigeria appears characterised by a lot of rivalry in its struggle for dominance. In a bid to gain and retain their market share, the firms have adopted product innovation as a strategy. Unfortunately many of the new products seem not to survive long in the market. This study therefore, examined the relationship between organizational culture and innovation in selected breweries in South-East Nigeria. Specifically, it explored the nature of relationship between market culture and product innovation. Survey research design was adopted. Data were collected through questionnaire and hypothesis was tested using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The study revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between market culture and product innovation. Therefore, it is recommended that breweries in Southeast, Nigeria, should develop a market culture that focuses more on research and development so as to manufacture innovative products which will survive beyond the introductory stage, withstand competition and satisfy customers taste.

Russian versus Soviet Military Mobilization in World Wars I and II: A Reassessment
Ioannis-Dionysios Salavrakos
Page no 155-168 |
10.21276/sjhss.2017.2.2.8
The paper demolishes an old myth which the Soviet Union created after 1945. The myth is associated with the
victory of USSR against Germany and its allies in Europe during the Second World War. According to the Soviet Union,
the “Great Patriotic War” of 1941-1945, was won because of Stalin leadership and due to the efficient economic
industrial mobilization which the Communist GOSPLAN Central Economic Committee imposed on the economy. The
Soviet era argument compares the victory of 1945 with the defeat of capitalist Russia in 1917, and claims that the
communist organization of the war economy has been very successful compared to the poor organization of capitalist
Russia of 1914-1917 period. The reality is different. The USSR was both heavier industrialized and armed compared to
the Empire of the Czar in 1914. However the USSR suffered more defeats, human and material losses as well as
catastrophes compared to those of the Russian Empire. And these developments occurred as the country enjoyed greater
military and economic aid from the US and Great Britain compared to what was granted to Czarist Russia during 1914-
1917. The biggest paradox however is associated with the post-war settlements. The humiliating defeat which the Czarist
Empire suffered in World War I -and was sealed with the Treaty of Brest Litovsk signed by Lenin- was never
implemented since the Western Allies with the victory of 1918 simply abolished the Treaty. Thus the defeat of 1917
practically did not have a negative outcome. The 1945 victory generated the huge expansion of Soviet sphere of power in
Eastern Europe but the cost of victory was so high that the final outcome can be considered as a pyrrhic victory.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of radiopaque dye, decalcification, and histological
sectioning in detection of accessory canals in mandibular 1st molars. 30 Extracted mandibular 1st molars were selected.
The teeth selected for the study were stored in normal saline. Endodontic access openings were made using a round bur
and pulp tissue was removed from the pulp chamber using a standard spoon excavator. Root canal contents were
extirpated using barbed broach. Complete debridement of root canals was done using files No. 8 to 25, with copious
irrigation using 3% sodium hypochlorite. The teeth were placed in separate bottles containing normal saline and were
labeled. Three different methods were used to study the accessory canals, viz, Radiopaque dye, decalcification, and
histologic sectioning. According to this study, The incidence of lateral and accessory canals for the mandibular first
molar is 46.6%. Results showed that Histological sectioning was significantly ( P = 0.048) better than dye method , but
the difference between the Histological sectioning and decalcification was not significant.

The purpose of this study is to predict the accurate timings for pubertal growth peaks for Class I, Class II - Div
1, Div 2 and Class III. Comparisons are made between the period of the pubertal growth peak in Class I, Class II –Div 1,
Div 2 and Class III subjects. This would help the orthodontist in the following ways: 1) For predicting correct treatment
time for all malocclusions. 2) For benefiting the patient by guiding the growth modification treatment during the
favorable time in a balanced and harmonious manner. 3) To assess skeletal age and pubertal growth spurts are of prime
importance in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, for diagnosis, treatment planning, and retention. This study has
used the Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM) technique for the finding of the peak in growth of mandible, based on the
scrutinizing and analysising of the second through fourth cervical vertebrae in a single cephalogram. The lateral
cephalograms of orthodontically untreated or new subjects/ patients, ages 8 through 18 years, were studied. The CVM
stage on each radiograph was assessed and evaluated according to the Baccetti et al method. Skeletal relationship was
evaluated by Steiner’s analysis (By Steiner's analysis: ANB (A point, Nasion, B point) shows whether the relationship
amongst the maxilla and mandible is normal (skeletal class I relationship (+ 2 degrees), a skeletal Class II (+4 degrees or
more), or skeletal Class III (0 or negative). The Duration of pubertal peak in Class I was 5 months longer than class II
patients and 6 months shorter than class III patients. The pubertal peak for Class I subjects lasted 1 year 4 months (in
agreement with previous indications of the literature) whereas in subjects with Class II div 1& div 2 malocclusion it
lasted for a shorter period (11 months) and Class III malocclusion it persisted for a longer period (1 year 10 months).

The right to education is a fundamental right enshrined in the most important legal documents and
international conventions. Nevertheless in countries with ethnic and linguistic divisions, the right to education is not
guaranteed to all and often it is required a genuine implementation of policies in order to achieve inclusiveness and full
realization of this right. In this paper I will analyze how this right is implemented when it comes to national minorities in
the case of FYR of Macedonia. In the first part of this paper I will compare the educational system before and after the
Ohrid Agreement, to find the root causes of the segregation of pupils with different ethnic background in Macedonian
schools today. This phenomena lead to the necessity of a new approach when it comes to education in divided societies:
that of inclusive education. The last chapter will discuss specific policy suggestions in order to overcome barriers to the
inclusiveness in education. In this paper I will mainly use secondary sources such as reports and studies published by
international and regional organizations. Primary sources will be also consulted such as the Macedonian legislation on
the educational sector from 1991.

Unemployment is one of the main problems facing Algeria, due to their negative dimensions and serious
consequences on the country’s economy and social life. Therefore, Algeria government has developed policies of
employment concerning the category of young people; especially university graduates. This is resulting in a new version
of labor, temporary labor instead of permanent labor; that represents an essential mechanism for integration and social
cohesion. The objective of this paper is to investigate labor representation of the young university graduates category
rather than their ambition realized from temporary labor. In this study, a conceptual framework is developed based on
extend literature review and examination of data collected from 60 young university graduates working in public sector.
Globally, there is a difference between female’s and male’s labor representation. Female labor is a way to self –
realization and appreciation in the first confederation and them a means of financial independence. While for the male
labor is festival way to salary then an obligation for society services. As a result of their ambitions, temporary labor may
help to absorb unemployment rate especially for university graduate.

10.21276/sjeat.2017.2.2.4
Current methodologies in displaying dynamic organic frameworks regularly need fathomability, particularly
for users without scientific foundation. In this paper propose another way to deal with defeat such confinements by
joining the graphical representation gave by the utilization of Petri nets with the demonstrating of flow by effective yet
natural fuzzy logic based frameworks. We build a fuzzy reasoning Petri net (FRPN) model for the genetic regulatory
network of the lac operon of E. coli bacterium. Depending on the FPN formalism is a decent other option to
mathematical equations that require dynamic parameter qualities and better than Boolean Formalism which naturally sets
control as "on" or "off" guidelines. The lac operon has been considered as a model framework for comprehension the
molecular biology of gene expression with considered to its regulation. We approve our formal model via programmed
checking a progression of characteristics that are known for the control of the lactose. In this way, we demonstrate the
feasibility of utilizing FRPN to design and reason about biochemical systems.
