Surface epithelial tumors of the ovary account for approximately two-thirds of all ovarian neoplasms and their malignant forms represent about 90% of ovarian cancers. For years, efforts to identify reliable prognostic factors have focused on molecular markers; large number of them has been investigated to date, usually by immunohistochemistry. Mutation of the p53 gene has been reported in a variety of human malignant tumors and it has been claimed to be a marker of poor prognosis. Aim of the study is to assess the immunoexpression of p53 and Ki 67 in surface epithelial tumors of the ovary and to evaluate their correlation with the clinicopathological parameters. There were 60 cases of surface epithelial tumors encountered over the period of 7 years from 2007 to 2014 in addition to10 samples of nonneoplastic ovarian tissues were included as a control. The samples were collected from Hawler Maternity Teaching Hospital. Formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens were studied and sections were prepared for immunohistochemical staining for both p53 and Ki 67 markers. Ethical consent has been obtained from Hawler Medical University. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 19). High immunoexpression of p53 and Ki 67 were seen in patients with ovarian tumor aged more than 40 years. Statically highly significant correlation was found in the immunoexpression of both p53 and Ki 67 marker between benign, borderline and malignant surface epithelial tumors ( P value < 0.05); while no significant correlation was found between their expression in relation to tumor grade and stage in epithelial ovarian cancer. Maximal immunoexpression of p53 and Ki-67 immunohistochemical markers was seen in epithelial ovarian cancer, this emphasizes their important carcinogenic role in surface epithelial tumor of the ovary. Their over expressions are not correlated with tumor grade and stage.

Youth empowerment is one of the major concerns of Nigerian government like any other developing countries all over the world. It is the reasons why it needs to encourage its youths to be engaged in entrepreneurial activities with the ultimate objective of becoming self-employed and self-reliant. Similarly in Nigeria, the government has introduced several policies aimed at eradicating poverty by encouraging self-employment among youths. One of such policies is the introduction of entrepreneurship education into the curriculum of higher education which is aimed at promoting and inculcating entrepreneurship amongst the students of higher learning. Hence, this study aims at investigating the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO), entrepreneurial education (EE) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) among undergraduate students at Nigerian Universities. A total of 74 valid questionnaires from the students were used and the study find out that, both EO and EE has direct positive relationship with EI. The study also has both theoretical and practical contributions. Finally, the study suggests direction for future research.

A comparative analysis of head-loss equations under EPANET computer program and Hardy Cross iterative method was carried out in this project. A single period analysis was performed on a three-loop network in EPANET’s work space. Also, the network was solved with the Hardy Cross method, applying a single loop adjustment algorithm. The frictional head-losses in each of the methods were computed using the Darcy Weisbach and Hazen Williams headloss equations. The convergence of the flow rate corrections in each of the cases was evaluated and compared. Results of the analysis showed that the flow rate corrections converged at the 4th and 14th iteration for the two head-loss formulae in EPANET and Hardy Cross method respectively. The results were subjected to t-test on 5% level of significance, and it showed that there is no significant difference in the use of either of the head-loss equations for computations in each of the methods. Thus, any one of the head-loss equations can be used for effective analysis of pipe networks.

This paper focuses on comparative analysis of fuzzy entropic economic order quantity model in presence of flexible ordering cost in finite planning horizon. The objective of this fuzzy model is to optimize the net profit so as to determine the entropic order quantity, the number of replenishment cycle and flexible ordering cost. After testing optimality and concavity of the net profit function it is compared with other different models through suitable numerical examples which show that an appropriate optimal fuzzy entropic paradigm may benefit the manufacturer. Hence, this paper shows a numerical example which elucidates the impact of entropy, flexible ordering cost and fuzzy. Finally, sensitivity analyses and ANOVA testing of the present model are presented to validate the effectiveness and sensitivity of the different parameters with respect to the fuzzy net profit of the proposed new fuzzy model. The proposed mathematical model has demonstrated how this fuzzy approach to decision making can achieve a global optimum and outperform the traditional models.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased metabolic processes and oxidative stress. The trace elements are important co-factors in these events. Thus this study was conducted to compare serum levels of lipid profile, Zinc and HbA1c between type 2 diabetic patients and normal controls. The study was designed to find out the relation between lipid profile levels to severity and complication of diabetes mellitus. Degree of lipid profile with antioxidants and blood glucose in Sudanese with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Total 400 human subjects, out of which100 healthy individuals of age group (years) were taken as control and 300 diabetic subjects of age group (years) were taken as cases. There was significant increase in the lipid profile except HDL cholesterol, which is decreased, also significant decrease in trace elements chromium and Zinc. Impaired metabolism of these minerals may have a contributory role in the progression of DM and later development of complications

The occurrence of monoclonal gammopathy of undeterminate significance (MGUS) in an autoimmune disease such as systemic lupus is not common but it is not as rare as the occurrence of a malignant disease such as Multiple myeloma. The complexity of this association lies in the challenges of monitoring MGUS’s patients who are likely to progress towards malignant hemopathy. Some risk factors for this progression have been described (rate of monoclonal compound, paraprotein isotype, medullary plasmacytosis or even light chains). However, none of these factors taken independently allows us to correctly categorize patients. Scores combining several of these factors have been proposed to define groups of patients with different evolving risks. The aim of this work is to report this association (systemic lupus and MGUS) in a 52 year old woman, in order to alert the clinicians about this eventuality when monitoring their lupus patients.

A total of 54(47.4%) sheep and 60(52.6%) were observed infested with ectoparasites. The overall prevalence rate was 114 (100%).The major identified ectoparasites in sheep and goats were, ticks (47.3%, 52.7%), lice(27.1%, 72.9%), mite(42.0%, 58.0%), and fleas(28.6%, 71.4%) respectively. Six species of hard ticks (ixodidae) were found the animals examined consisting of Rhipicephalus evertsi (44.3%,55.7%), Amblyomma variegatum (52.0%, 48.0%), Boophilus decloratus (45.5%, 55.5%), R. appendiculatus (39.1%, 60.9%), Heamaphysalis leachi leachi (66.7%, 33.3%), R. sanguineus (56.3% 43.8%), one species of fleas (Ctenocephalis felis 28.65, 71.4%), two species of lices , Linognathus species (30.6%, 46.4%), and Bovicola species (20.0%, 80.0%) respectively. Psoroptes comunis (41.9%, 58.1%) and Sarcoptes scabiei (42.1%, 58.1%) were the identified mites in the study.

Abstract: This study sought to understand and explain the effect of Motivation and Job Satisfaction on the teachers of Mentari School Bintaro (MSB). Sampling method used was purposive sampling, using 97 teachers as samples out of a population of 129. The use of 97 samples was the researcher’s justification based on the fulfillment of respondent response requirements for the eligibility of questionnaire data to be processed further. Eligible questionnaire data shall have corresponding response for each statement proposed and it shall not be outlier. Data collection method used was in the form of questionnaires, using Likert scale. Validity and reliability testing included the Pearson product moment and statistic Cronbach’s Alpha tests. Analytical method used to answer the hypotheses was multiple linear regressions. The results of the study showed that motivation and job satisfaction simultaneously had significant and positive effect on performance. In partial, motivation had significant and positive effect on the performance of the teachers. Likewise, job satisfaction also had significant and positive effect on the teachers’ performance. The highest correlation was between the dimension of extrinsic motivation found in motivation variable and the dimension of learning evaluation in performance variable. Improving teacher’s motivation by involving them in the school’s decision making, coupled with the school’s management support is expected to improve the teachers’ productivity, thus enabling the school to achieve its goals.

Abstract: The concept of Africanity traverses many decades, being a socio-political ethos or cogitation perceived as manifest reaction against slavery and colonization. As a resistance mode, imbuement of the Africanity philosophy has shaped people of African descent in the Diaspora and many post-slavery generations all over the world in maintaining their African roots identity. This paper examines the concept of Africanity in the 21st Century Africa, using the Nigerian popular music scene as a paradigm. Against the backdrop of the present mainstream Hip hop music style referred to as ‘Afro hip hop’, the study will use music and video analytical procedures with the objective of identifying the various media through which hip hop artistes project their Africanity. It is quite evident that music artistes still strive to maintain their African identity despite subscribing to a Western originated music style. This is made manifest through language use, nomenclature, message, visual projection, and sonic arrangement among other parameters.

UV spectroscopy shows that dextromethorphan, guaifenesin and caffeine bind to ferrous gluconate, causing their spectra to shift. From this change, it is calculated that the binding energy is in the order of caffeine > guaifenesin ≈ dextromethorphan. This is consisternt with the electrochemical/potentiometric data obtained in a previous study which detected electrons emitted from these drug-iron complexes if they were irradiated by UV light or connected to solutions having different electrochemical potentials. Based on the result of this study, ferrous gluconate is more useful for the rapid screening of the drug-heme or drug-iron interactions in biological/pharmacological systems than free (unbound) iron. It may also find utility in energy production, bio-sensing and photo-electronics.
