This study was aimed at assessing the risk of renal dysfunction in patients infected with Schistosoma haematobium in Yenagoa, Nigeria. Blood specimens were collected from thirty subjects infected with Schistosoma haematobium and another thirty subjects with no evidence of Schistosoma haematobium infection (control) into non anticoagulated (plain) bottles, these specimens were allowed to clot, spun and the serum obtained used for the quantitative measurement of the following biochemical parameters using spectrophotometer S23A model: creatinine, urea, protein and uric acid.  The results showed higher statistical significant differences (p<0.05) of creatinine and urea with mean values of 1.83mg/dl and 86.68mg/dl respectively in the Schistosoma haematobium infected subjects as against the  mean values of 0.80mg/dl and 20.20mg/dl respectively in the control subjects while protein showed lower statistical significant differences (p<0.05) with a mean value of 48.27g/l  in the Schistosoma haematobium infected subjects as against a mean value of  71.53 g/l in the  control subjects. However, the uric acid mean value of 247.25µmol/l in the Schistosoma haematobium infected subjects was not statistically different (p>0.05) from the mean value of 247.20µmol/l in the control subjects. In conclusion, the significant differences of the mean values of these biochemical parameters in the Schistosoma haematobium infected subjects as compared with that of the control subjects show that they are at risk of renal dysfunction. The estimation of these serum biochemical parameters in all cases of Schistosoma haematobium infection is therefore recommended.<#LINE#>Anderson R.J. and Barry D.W.

These are growing saprophytically on dry stems of Azadirachta indica L. and on dead stems of Leucaena leucocephala (Lamk) de wit. The fungi were studied in details with respect to its taxonomy and identity. It is proved to be distinct after comparative studies with other known species of Aplosporella including the type species, in morphological characters and dimensions especially in the size of pycnostroma and conidia. Hence, they are described under a new taxon.<#LINE#>Pande Alka and Rao V.G.

The experimental work tests of erosion- corrosion were done using special device which was designed according to (G 73) ASTM. The work tests were achieved using traditional weight loss technique to measure weight loss rates in (mpy) Unit, the  tests above were done in pumped media and pumped media had constant pressure of 1 bar, flow rate Q = 36 L/min, temperature 25 ºC and pH = 6.56 for erosive-corrosive media. Weight loss method was used in which test specimens of carbon steel, with a known weights, were immersed in the oil for a total exposure time of 60 days and for 10 days in water. Metallographic observations and micro-hardness measurements were also performed on specimens taken from the parent metal, heat affected zone and weld metal. The obtained results clearly indicate a degradation of the mechanical properties of steel welds.<#LINE#>Badogiannis E., Tsiourva D., Papazoglou V.J., Pantelis D.I. and Tsouvalis N.G.

<#LINE#>The Impact of Quality of Hospital Services on Patient’s Satisfaction in Selected Hospitals of Punjab, India<#LINE#>Sharma@Bhartendra ,Jiwan@Triza  <#LINE#>24-28<#LINE#>5.ISCA-RJRS-2016-003.pdf<#LINE#>Amity College of Nursing, Amity University, Gurgaon, Haryana, India@Kular College of Nursing, Ludhiana, Punjab, India<#LINE#>13/1/2016<#LINE#>27/2/2016<#LINE#>In today’s competitive era in health sectors, the patient’s satisfaction is the major issue for health care providers. Now a day, so many new hospitals are upcoming to compete with other hospitals. Therefore, in hospitals the patient’s satisfaction is the best indicator of overall quality of services. The study was carried out to assess the impact of quality of health services of hospitals on patient’s satisfaction. A descriptive research design with cross sectional survey approach was used to collect data from 50 patients at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab in august 2015, and using convenient sampling method. Data were collected by using SERVQUAL scale and modified patient’s satisfaction scale. Findings revealed that the quality of hospital services provided to the patients has a positive impact on patient’s satisfaction. The better the quality of health care services in the hospitals the more the patients get satisfied. The paper presents the importance of measuring patient’s satisfaction in planning health care policies.<#LINE#>Aiello A., Garman A. and Morris B.S.

The role of the farming group leaders is expected to be able to lead and mobilize their members to make innovation in product development of Gedong Gincu. Besides that, \"origin labeling\" publicity campaign needs to be encouraged in a number of ways, one of which is through providing sustainable guidance for farmers by various stakeholders involved. Manufacturers expect that the origin labeling will be able to increase their revenue and guarantee them better selling price than that of regular mangos, market network, and price certainty. The research used an experimental design to 69 traditional farmers, 114 transitional farmers, and 77 commercial farmers with 40 farmers as control data. Data was collective from May –August 2013 in Kecamatan Sedong, Greged, Astanajapura, Dukupuntang Kabupaten Cirebon. The variables measured were production process, use of technology, post-harvest handling, target market, farmers’ participation informing groups, market risk, access to capital, and selling methods of sales. The study revealed that there are changes among traditional, transitional, and commercial farmers in terms of their activity after they have been provided with additional training and information of origin labeling.<#LINE#>Beus C.E. and Dunlap R.E.

It assures smooth transition and successful entry to primary school and first step towards entering the world of knowledge. Through school readiness child get a sure shot path for long term academic career. School readiness also works as a tool for a healthy, productive and purposeful life. Along with the major determinants of school readiness factors like family background variables, intervention given to children and teacher, early childhood education experiences, curriculum content and teacher experience are the factors influencing school readiness.<#LINE#>Janus M.
