Primarily, Mopane worm (G. belina) forms a major part of the most consumed and highly nutritious (protein averages 55.41%) insect in Zimbabwe. The insect offers a great potential source of protein that could be utilised to alleviate diet deficiencies diseases among most vulnerable groups in society. The insect could form a foundation for new food products that are based on its substantial nutritive value. The paper reviews nutritional potential of G. belina to the human diet through its use in fortified blended foods (FBFs) formulations, making it an alternative substitute for conventional sources of protein, such as soybean, common bean and nuts. In view of that, G. belina through FBFs could be used as food aid in humanitarian relief programs in Zimbabwe in fighting against rampant malnutrition especially among rural population and urban dwellers. However, several aspects related to food safety and sustainability in insects harvesting are of great concern that needs to be underscored. Further research would be necessary to ascertain the real process development and formulation of FBFs where G. belina has been exploited as a source of protein.
The study was performed to assess the antiinflammatory, antioxidant activities and identify the polyphenols of Toona ciliata grown in Bangladesh. Antiinflammatory activity was examined by the methods of carrageenan and histamine-induced paw edema. At the dose of 400 mg/kg, effective anti-inflammatory activity (P<0.01) was observed in rats for both the test models of carrageenan and histamine-induced paw edema, compared to indomethacin. In ABTS scavenging assay, IC50 value was found significant (5.50μg/ml) compared to ascorbic acid (12.01μg/ml). The maximum absorbance of reducing power was obtained 0.4939 at 250μg/ml relative to ascorbic acid (1.1115μg/ml). Total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic and flavonoid content were found to be 357.1 mg/g ascorbic acid, 239.2 mg/g gallic acid, and 98.36 mg/g quercetin equivalent, respectively. During HPLC analysis, catechin and ellagic acid were determined in considerable amounts (825.95 and 416.70 mg/100g extract, respectively). The findings suggest that Toona ciliata could be a potential source of natural antioxidant.
This short essay has three sections: One, motherly no-do in Ecclesiastes supports us. Two, Christ self-empties to accept us all to give us his all. Three, Buddha also self-empties in Nirvana in Mercy. Buddha and Christ are unique, not equal not combinable, but each to be committed to with openness.
Giant Cell Carcinoma is a rare, aggressive type of lung malignancy and very few cases have been extensively studied and reported to date. Because of its rare occurrence, this neoplasm is often not included in the classifications of usual lung cancers. It is considered by some as a variant of undifferentiated large cell carcinoma. Giant cells have, however, been found to occur in different types of lung cancers and their presence in any histologic type is associated with a significantly worse outcome. We present a non-smoking female who was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma composed of many giant cells showing cytoplasmic expression of p63 protein. Admitting imaging studies revealed metastases to liver, lymph nodes and the pelvic region. Due to the rarity of this cancer, the diagnosis as well as therapeutic and prognostic features of giant cell carcinoma is often overlooked.
Although IP VPN technology has recently been imposed because of its cost effectiveness and that several research studies have been proposed for centralized policy management of intra / inter VPN domain, most solutions are only addressed to VPN site-to-site technology, according to our researches no centralized management model based on a server for dynamic multipoint VPN networks was proposed. In this paper we propose a model “DMVPN Security Management System”for centralized policy management of dynamic multipoint multi-architectures VPN network, using a new web interface. We have implemented and tested the model on Single Hub Single Cloud architecture consisting of ten Spokes, the time required for an expert on VPN networks for manual set up of this architecture is an hour, we moved that to five minutes with our model, in addition to time effectiveness the margin error is null.
Although fuzzy multisets or fuzzy bags are very interesting in terms of applications, it is less study or explore by researchers. Fuzzy multiset is applicable as a model of information retrieval because it has the mathematical structure or framework which expresses the number and the degree of attribution of an element simultaneously. We present a concise note on fuzzy multisets as the fuzzification or extension of multisets and the generalization of fuzzy sets. We showed the correspondence between fuzzy multisets and sequences. The Bolzano-Weierstrass property of fuzzy multisets is proposed and some theorems stated and proved.
This research work examined the effect of ACGSF on income generation and poverty alleviation among rural farmers in Benue state. Results of the Stochastic frontier and the inefficiency model showed that the variance parameters for ∂2 and y were 0.2237 and 0.5209 which was significant at 1 percent level. The sigma squared indicated the goodness of fit and correctness of the distributional form assumed for the composite error term while the gamma Y indicates that the systematic influences that are unexplained by the Production Function and the dominant sources of random errors. This showed that the inefficiency effects makes significant contribution to the technical inefficiencies of ACGSF beneficiaries. The central recommendation made as a way of ensuring production efficiency and poverty alleviation was that farmers should form cooperative societies so that they easily obtain inputs at a lower cost and without conditions, also getting information on production practices.
This article attempts to study Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart from the perspectives put forward in Aime Cesaire’s anti-colonial text Discourse on Colonialism. For this purpose various thematic key-issues found in Discourse on Colonialism are studied first. These thematic key-issues include old African societies, representation, colonial effects, colonial Christianity, decolonization, flaws of civilization etc. In the text Aime Cesaire has strongly dealt with these issues. Then, in this paper each of these issues is thoroughly attempted on the basis of their having treated in Things Fall Apart. Finally, this paper shows that Things Fall Apart can well be analyzed by considering all the thematic concerns voiced by Cesaire.
In today’s world there are more and more cars in the road. For the past few years the amount of automobiles in the road has been increased at the same time number of accidents is also increased. We cannot blame anyone for buying a car it’s their wish. Now-a-days many automobile companies are manufacturing cars with high safety for passengers by placing front and side air bag but all these prevent him from a major accident. During accident the injuries to the passenger especially to the driver are caused only by the place where he sits (I.e.) due to the steering column. Hence apart from air bags this idea moves the passenger’s seat little backwards so that they move away from the accident zone hence injuries can be reduced. This is done by the use of two master cylinders and two slave cylinders.
The aim of this paper is to identify the level of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Iranian schools. Additionally, the paper aims to investigate the influence of school location and gender of principals and teachers on the level of TQM. To achieve these aims, the researchers conducted a survey research to determine the level of TQM, and used independent sample t-test to determine the significance difference between the level of TQM based on the gender of principals and teachers. They also applied one-way ANOVA and Kruskal- Wallis H test to determine the significance difference on the level of TQM based on the location of schools. The findings of this study showed that, the level of TQM is high in Iranian schools. The researchers found that there is no significant difference between TQM’s level among male and female principals and teachers. It found that, there is no significant difference between the level of TQM based on the principals’ schools location. But there is a significant difference between the TQM’s level according to teachers’ schools location. The study revealed that the level of implementation of TQM as perceived by school principals and teachers according to gender and school location. This information is useful for the provincial education authorities in shaping future TQM implementation as well as for future researches.
