This study was aimed to evaluate the cardiotoxicity of cisplatin in rats and to investigate the cardioprotective effect of amlodipine on cisplatin treated rats by using cardiac biomarkers troponin, CK-MB. Thirty five healthy male swiss albino rats were used in this study. The study design was divided into two patterns: Pilot study design: The animals were randomly divided into two groups, In the first treated group, all rats received cisplatin in a single dose, while in the second treated group, rats received cisplatin in four divided doses every 2 days. Active study design: The animals were randomly divided into 3 groups (7 rats/ group) and treated as follows:- a- Normal saline (N.S) treated group. b- Cisplatin treated group. c- Amlodipine treated group with cisplatin. Blood samples were collected and used to determine the biomarkers serum troponin, CK-MB. The result from pilot study shows that in cisplatin treated groups (single dose) serum troponin, CKMB are not significantly change with control group. While, when we give cisplatin in multiple doses, there is a significantly increase in serum troponin, CK-MB. Amlodipine show a potent cardioprorective effect against cisplatin cardiotoxicity.

Behaviours in organizations can either be adjudged to be unethical and even criminal or being above board. Criminal and unethical issues are one of the most difficult to handle in organizations; and they pervade all levels and activities in the organisation. Specifically however, this article examines and discusses the following critical criminal and unethical concerns which include corruption, misuse of organizational assets, and false or misleading advertizing in organizations. The data were collected through secondary sources. The article concludes that, human resource manager’s and or organisation’s ability to tackle and control these ethical concerns is very important in keeping the organizations healthy and competitive; otherwise the organizations will suffer enormous setback, sometimes risk failure and even attract criminal action.

Human Resource Management is a long - established task within the governments management frame work. Through this task the government meets its obligation to be a good employer; seeks to secure staff commitment; and develops and manages staff to give their best to help the government serve the community. For quality effective educational system to be achieved, government through Ministries of Education need to respond to changing community expectation mean that, the task of managing both teaching and non teaching staff better is more important than ever - it is the staff who deliver the service, and it is through a new emphasis on staff management that a customer service and performance oriented culture will gradually evolve. Government through various Management of Educational sector need to sponsor its staff for in - service training, workshop, conference, seminar etc. for optimum delivery of services in their various department. To meet the obligation of managing staff, government needs money, enabling working conducive environment, and staff support. Every staff in the educational sector has a role to play in meeting the challenges of improving human resource management practices and maintaining a dynamic and progressive approach to managing people. This paper therefore explains how human resource management works in Nigeria Educational System. It also describes the core principles and values of the government, were responsibilities lie and key management task and strategies that must be addressed.

This study examined the relationship between social capital and economic growth opportunities. Primary data were collected from a sample of 500 households in Obudu Local Government Area, Cross River State, Nigeria. Information on household income, demographic factors, human capital, physical assets and social capital were collected. Social capital covers six dimensions: groups and networks; trust and solidarity; collective action and cooperative; information and communication; social cohesion and inclusion; and empowerment / political action. Social capital index for each household was constructed in the scale of 1 to 10 using linear transformation technique. The entire data was analyzed using logit model estimation. The results provides evidence and lend supports to the assertion that social capital play important role in stimulating economic growth of the rural households. Other variables found to be important include physical capital, human capital, household size and dependency factor

Occurrence of faults in a power system causes transients which decrease transient stability of that system. Superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) is a promising solution to reduce and control this fault (short circuit current) which is inevitable to electric power systems due to growing interconnection of electrical power systems. In this paper, a simulated proof of the capability of SFCL in improving the system transient stability is revealed. At first a SFCL model is designed using simulink. Then, that model is introduced in a so-called three phase system. After that, the system is taken under different fault conditions to investigate transient stability for each. Finally, it is shown from the simulation result that, the system transient stability has improved.

Background: Inguinal hernia is common surgical problem in paediatrics and incarceration is the most common subsequent complication if left untreated. The fact that there is effect of the socioeconomic factors on development of incarceration in form of delayed presentation. Objectives: To determine the relation between socioeconomic status and development of incarcerated inguinal hernia among children presented to (GNCPS). Results: 43 case presented with incarcerated inguinal hernia within the study period those <5Yrs were 40 (93,0%) from 5-10 yrs were 2 (4,7%) while 1 (2,3%) was more than 10 yrs. We have 42 male and 1 female patient the waiting time for surgery was 3 months in 14 (32,6%) while it was 3-6 months in 10 cases (23,3%) and more than 6 months in 19 (44,2%).

This study was to explore junior high students’ perception of school climate and school belonging. The main purposes of the present study were to test the relationships between school climate and school belonging. How’s the correlation between the two variables? Which one has better effects on the other? Three hundred and twenty-eight junior high students in Taiwan were selected to inclusion in the investigation. A statistically significant relationship between school climate and school belonging was found. From the construction analyses, we found that the path coefficients of Model 1 and Model 2 are the same. The outcomes meant that school climate had significant effects on school belonging and school belonging also had significant effects on school climate. The results of the study can offer the relative schools for evaluating school effects and school improvement.

The design of an antenna based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) has been realized in this paper. The structure consists of an array of slot antenna designed to operate in Kuband applications. The effect of introducing arrays of slots has been extensively studied unlike any other recent publications in this field. The basic structure has been designed over a dielectric substrate with dielectric constant of 3.2 and with a thickness of 0.782mm. The design consists of a SIW antenna fed with a microstrip to SIW transition. Multiple slot array effects have been studied and analyzed using CST Microwave Studio full wave EM Simulator which supports Finite Element Method (FEM) of computational Electromagnetics. The design has been supported with its return loss and radiation pattern characteristics to validate Ku-band operation. The effect of increasing the number of slot arrays has also been analyzed to support integration to System-on- Substrate (SoS) which promises more compact layouts.

Purpose - This specific study is aimed to find the specific factors which affect the satisfaction of the students in universities in Pakistan and to find these factors’ relationship either positive or negative with the satisfaction. Design/Methodology/Approach - Different statistical tools were used during the study, which were compatible with our study such as Reliability analysis, Multiple Regression Analysis and ANOVA. In our questionnaires we used “Likert Scale” to get the more accurate and specific results and views from the respondents.
