The study juxtaposed the imperativeness of psychological inventory in the execution of counseling programmes and presented the validity and reliability of the Crime Behaviouor Factor Battery, and its relevance in diagnosing crime intentions. It investigated the effectiveness of PISCO Creativity Thinking Tool in remediating criminal intentions among the unemployed graduates in Osun State, Nigeria, to foster societal security. 120 unemployed graduates were purposively selected on the basis of convenience, availability and simple randomization from Iwo and Ayedire Local Government in Osun State. Their ages range from 21-36 with a mean of 28.5. Sixty participants from Iwo Local Government formed the experimental group while sixty in Ayedire formed the control. The experimental group was exposed to training in PISCO creativity thinking tool for a period of six weeks, while the control group waited for its turn.

Biogas production from 5 batch digesters containing varying ratios of mixture of chicken droppings and cow dung was studied for a period of 30 days at ambient temperature. Results from this study show that co-digestion of chicken droppings and cow dung increased biogas yield as compared to pure samples of either chicken droppings or cow dung. The maximum biogas yield was attained with mixtures in the proportions of 1:4. Several regression models were used to adequately describe the cumulative biogas production from these digesters. The polynomial correlation with R2 = 0.98 seemed to be more reliable in predicting gas production in anaerobic digestion of animal wastes. This tool is useful in optimizing biogas production from energy materials, and requires further validation and refinement. Hopefully, this study advances this increasingly growing area of animal wastes research.

The main aim of the present paper is to form a summation formula attached with contiguous relation and recurrence relation.

Background : Bowel anastomosis is one of the commonest procedure done in surgical practice, and its outcome influence by many factors include; patients, technical, and operation basis, but intraoperative blood transfusion (BT) is discriminated from other risk factors in that; its intentionally added risk factor. Objective: To evaluate the effect of blood transfusion in outcome of elective bowel anastomosis in Khartoum teaching hospital. Patient And Method: Twenty eight patients admitted into Khartoum teaching hospital, and underwent elective bowel anastomosis were enrolled in the study. Data was collected by questionnaire for each patient. Result: The total number of patients was 28, 18 were male and 10 were female, mean age was 50years, 14.3% were underwent small bowel anastomosis, 85.7% were underwent large bowel anstomosis, and 35.7% were transfused intraoperatively. Regardless other risk factors the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) was significantly high in transfused patients, in comparison to nontransfued 30% vs 0.0%, also there was a high rates of other complications in transfused patients than those weren’t. Conclusion: Intraoperative blood transfusion is a good predictor for development of complications in elective bowel anastomosis.

The aim of this paper is to study radical class of rings, right quasi-regular rings and finally, to prove that J , the class of all right quasi-regular rings is a radical class. Amitsur gives a theorem of radical class for the sufficient condition that a class of rings would be a radical class. This paper represents, the proof of, J is a radical class using the theorem of radical class given by Amitsur.

This paper examines the evidence for a productivity based model of the dollar/euro real exchange rate for the period 1985-2007 period. Cointegrating relationships between the real exchange rate and productivity, real price of oil and government spending are estimated using the Johansen and Stock-Watson procedures. The findings show that for each percentage point in the US-Euro area productivity differential there is a three percentage point change in the real dollar/euro valuation. These findings are robust to the estimation methodology, the variables included in the regression, and the sample period.

The present discounted value equation in finance has a broad range of uses and may be applied to various areas of finance including corporate finance, banking finance and investment finance etc .The basic premise of present discounted value is the time value money .Not many analytic solutions exist for present discounted value problems but by using Laplace transform we can deduce some of the closed form solutions quite easily. In this note we show how present discounted value in finance related to Laplace transforms. Also we discus on the present value rules for the elementary functions and the general properties of the Laplace transform. And we will focus on the application of time derivative property using Laplace transforms to each present value rule.

Dramatic structural changes are taking place within the rapidly growing Web advertising sector; the most notable being the rise to prominence of Sponsored Search Advertising (SSA) which developed because of the need to find solutions to the increased market demand for more consumer-oriented and targeted advertising and non-intrusive Web Advertising format (Weidlich, 2002). Moreover, SSA offered advertisers the ability to more precisely target Web users, as well as making the advertisements more relevant and meaningful to the consumers (Dou et al., 2001). However, very little attention has been given to SSA in terms of how consumers respond to such advertising within the Web context, and what particular factors drive consumers to attend to, and respond to, SSA. To address this gap in the marketing literature, the current study sought to, firstly present a theoretical Model of Consumer Response Towards SSA by incorporating variables synthesized from the advertising and consumer behaviour literature. Secondly, this study empirically validated the model from the consumer’s perspective.

The aim of this study is to identify and quantify spatiotemporal and joint kinematics in hemiparetic cerebral palsy children by three dimensional gait analysis (3DGA). Gait strategy of 36 Hemiparetic and 31 healthy children was quantified by the new anatomically based protocol of 3DGA. Spatiotemporal and joint kinematics of lower limbs were identified and calculated. Results revealed that, the gait pattern of the paretic and non paretic sides of hemiparetic children were different compared to healthy subjects. Shorter stance phase was noted on the paretic side compared to non paretic and healthy subjects (P<0.05). Hemiparetic children walked with significantly reduced velocity, stride length, step length and cadence compared to healthy subjects. However step width increased considerably in the hemiparetics compared to healthy children. Joint kinematics during stance indicated that hemiparetic children walked with significantly increased anterior trunk tilt, pelvic tilt and pelvic retraction compared to healthy subjects (P<0.05). Nevertheless; hemiparetics displayed higher values of hip flexion than healthy subjects with reduction of both knee flexion and ankle dorsal flexion abilities on the paretic side than non paretic. To conclude, Hemiparetic cerebral palsy children generally present a unique motor strategy due to the pathology and search of better stability to optimize gait.The aim of this study is to identify and quantify spatiotemporal and joint kinematics in hemiparetic cerebral palsy children by three dimensional gait analysis (3DGA).

Social classes can affect the behavior of consumers towards the product or services with respect to the features of product like brand image, price and quality of services. Consumer buying behavior is highly dependent on two variables income and brand characteristics. Sometimes consumers are not willing to buy a product or avail a service but for his/her status symbol the buying behavior of that consumer gets affected, here the social status retention shows the impact of brand characteristics on different social classes buying behavior. Globally there are three main classes I.e. Upper. Middle .and Lower classes. Each class of people have different behavior, attitude, preferences, interest, standard of living and income power, these are the variations that segments the individuals personality into distinct classes which are mentioned above. This study analyzed that how brand characteristics like brand image, price and quality can affect the buying behavior of middle and lower social classes for cell phone purchase.
