In order to evaluate the brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and exhaust emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke using Signal to noise ratio(S/N) and Analysis of varience (ANOVA). The confirmation experiment was conducted to verify the results.

Evaluation of dahi collected from Netrokona district in Bangladesh

The aim of the present research work was to make a comparative study between the quality of dahi available in Netrokona district of Bangladesh and dahi prepared in the laboratory by following standard manufacturing process. For this purpose dahi (control) was prepared in Dairy Technology Laboratory of the Department of dairy science, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The Laboratory made dahi was designated as A type dahi. On the other hand four different types of dahi sample were collected from four different sweetmeat shop of Netrokona district. One sample was taken from each sweetmeat shop and three replications were made for each sample. Source of dahi samples were Khan Mistanno Vandar; Krisno Mistanno Vandar; Shankar Mistanno Vandar; Misti Mokh, These samples were designated as B, C, D and E respectively. Parameters used to monitor the quality of dahi were physical, chemical and microbiological. Collected data were compiled and statistically analyzed by using one way analysis of varience (ANOVA) test by using MSTAT statistical package. It was observed that total physical score for A, B, C, D and E type of samples were 93.21±0.51, 86.98,±0.63, 78.99±0.62, 76.47±0.25 and 83.89±0.44 respectively. Statistical analysis showed that total score for A type (Lab. made) dahi was significantly (p >0.01) higher than the total score of other dahi samples. Chemical analysis showed that average fat, protein, total solids, solids not fat, ash and lactose content of A type dahi were significantly ( p > 0.01) higher than that of the B, C. D and E type dahi samples collected from different shops of Netrokona district. Microbiological analysis showed that total bacterial count, yeast and mould count of B, C, D and E type dahi samples were also significantly (p > 0.01) higher than A type dahi which was prepared in the laboratory. Although total number of coliform bacteria was lower in A type sample but there was no significant difference within different dahi samples. Judging from the results of all parameters studied it was observed that dahi samples collected from Netrokona district was inferior to dahi prepared in the Laboratory. It was also observed that quality of other four dahi samples of Netrokona was nearly similar.Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2016. 45 (2): 60-65

FORMULASI MATERIALITAS : STUDI PADA KANTOR AKUNTAN PUBLIK DI INDONESIA

Materiality is an important concept in accounting and auditing practices that should be applied by accountants in performing their duties. To date, there are no guidance or directions that can be used to accommodate all the needs of accountants to make decisions regarding materiality so that accountants should be able to formulate materiality using professional skills acquired through experience or education. This study aims to know the various quantitative and qualitative factors areconsidered by accountants to formulate materiality and determine whether there is a difference in considering these factors based on experience and the type of Public Accountant Firms. Data were collected by questionnaires distributed to the partners of the Public Accountant Firm in Indonesia. Testing by using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Kruskal-Wallis Analysis of varience of Ranks. The results showed that the accountant uses many factors considered in the formulation of materiality and in general differ in using a number of quantitative factors, but did not differ in the use of the many qualitative factors. This suggests that consideration of materiality is a qualitative judgement but it must be defined in quantitative form. This study contributes to the development of auditing and accounting practices and as an input for decision makers to formulate quantitative materiality in accounting and auditing practice.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of palmar dermatoglyphics among smokeless tobacco users.

Palm prints formed once does not change throughout life and is not influenced by environment. Palmar Dermatoglyphics can indicate the development of potentially malignant and malignant lesions and help in identifying persons at high risk of developing Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSSC). To analyze the qualitative [finger ridge pattern and presence or absence of hypothenar pattern] and quantitative [mean ATD angle and total AB ridge count] variations in Palmar Dermatoglyphics in patients suffering from OSMF and OSCC. A prospective comparative study among 40 patients (Group I--10 samples of smokeless tobacco users with OSMF, Group II--10 samples of smokeless tobacco users with OSCC, Group III--10 samples of smokeless tobacco users without OSMF or OSCC and Group IV--10 samples without smokeless tobacco habit without OSMF and OSCC as controls) were selected. The palm prints were recorded using an HP inkjet scanner. The patients were asked to place the palm gently on the scanner with the fingers wide apart from each other. The images of the palm prints were edited and qualitative and quantitative analysis were done. Statistical analysis such as Kruskal Wallis, Post Hoc and Analysis of Varience were done. A highly significant difference among the finger ridge, hypothenar pattern and mean ATD angle (P<0.001) and total AB ridge count (P=0.005) in OSMF and OSCC patients were obtained. There is predominance of arches and loops, presence of hypothenar pattern, decrease in mean ATD angle and total AB ridge count in OSMF and Oral Cancer patients. Palmar Dermatoglyphics can predict the probable occurrence of OSMF and OSCC in smokelees tobacco users.

The psychological needs of high achieving students in grade ten atheist in post-basic education in the North Eastern Region in the Sultanate of Oman Abstract This study aimed to identify the psychological needs of high achievers -achieving students- in grade eleven of post-basic education in the Eastern region (North) of the Sultanate of Oman, and specifically has tried to answer the following research questions: 1- What are the psychological needs of high achieving students in grade eleven? And how can we order them according to their priority? 2- Are there significant statistical differences between the psychological needs of the high achieving students attributed to the following variables: gender, level of mother’s and father’s education, social status of parents and family’s income? The researcher has a comprehensive survey of high achievers in grade eleven in all schools of basic education who got 90 % or above at the end of the academic year 2008/2009. The total number of these students was (120). In order to answer the research questions of this study, the mean and standard deviations were calculated. The researcher used (t.Test) and analysis of varience (One Way-ANOVA). The results showed that the first psychological need of the talented is the need for tolerant and flexible teachers who understand their special needs. The second one is the need to increase the academic achievement, and the third is the need for assistance in investing their talents and energies in a productive way. Regarding the importance of high achievers’ needs, they are listed in order of importance: occupational needs, cognitive needs, psychological needs and social needs. The results also showed no statistically significant differences at (0.05) in the psychological needs of talented students due to the changes of the following: gender, mother’s educational level, social status of the parents. In contrast, there were statistically significant differences at (0.05) in the cognitive needs based on the educational level of the father. In addition, there were statistically significant differences at (0.05) in the occupational needs and social needs and the overall grade in the measure of psychological needs based on the variable of the family income. In order to realize the direction of those variable differences, Scheffe test was conducted, but the results did not show any statistically significant differences.

Institutional Influence on Behavioural Disorders in Early Adolescents

Early adolescence a period of transition between childhood and late adolescence, is where one experiences dramatic changes physically, and psychologically. These transitions cause cognitive, emotional, and social changes. The developmental changes that occur during this period cause varying degrees of disturbance in them. The period of transition leaves its mark on the individual's behaviour, as they feel unsure of themselves and insecure in their status. This intrudes them to be aggressive, self conscious and withdrawn. When an individual's behaviour is unusual for a particular age, this leads to poor adjustment, and is termed as behavioural problems. Schools play a significant role in the early adolescents' development because of the environment they provide. Though researches have been carried out focusing school environment of early adolescents, the investigators were interested to find if institutional variables can be significant contributors to the behavioral disorders exhibited by early adolescents. The study was designed to investigate the impact of institutional variables on behavioral disorders in early adolescents, studying in Standard IX. Random Sampling Technique was done on the basis of nature of the school, locality of school, type of school and medium of instruction to draw the sample size of 1275. Self constructed tool on Behavioral Disorders was used. Collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques such as t-test, ANOVA (Analysis of Varience). The statistical results revealed that institutional variables significantly contributed to the behaviourial problems in early adolescents. There should be some guidance service in each school, in order to provide some strategies for managing the behavioral problems among early teens as well as reducing the problem at this stage.

Eficacia de un programa para la prevención de la violencia en un centro de enseñanza secundaria = Eficacy of an intervention program on the prevention of violence in an institute of secondary education

ABSTRACT The aim of this research is to verify the efficacy of a program of intervention in the prevention of the violence with students of Secondary Education, focused on attitudes towards safe coexistence through interaction, communication and conflict resolution strategies. A total of 89 students participated, from natural groups with an age range of 11 to 15 years. This intervention was compared with other traditional methods (corrections, exclusions, reprimands etc.). A quasi experimental programme with a different control group was adopted, with attitudes and climate questionnaires, before and after the intervention, in both groups. Possible extraneous variables are controlled with “ad hoc” questionnaires applied to professors and students. The statistical techniques were the arithmetic mean and the multivarient analysis (varience analysis 2x2x2). The data analysis was carried out with program SPSS (version 14.0.). The results obtained indicate that specific intervention resulted in greater impact in the experimental group than in the control group, when modifying the attitudes towards diversity, violence and its social justification, as well as developing tolerant attitudes and rejection of violence. The preventive work of the violence to improve the school coexistence is effective. It´s recommendable to extend the intervention time, the implied agents and the familiar and social contexts.

Assessment on early blight of potato in order to compare the two methods&amp;lt;i&amp;gt; in vitro &amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;using pathogenic fungi &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Alternaria solani&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) early blight, caused by Alternaria solani is one of the most destructive fungal foliar diseases. This research was done in order to study methods comparison of evaluation by culture filtrate of A. solani in in vitro condition for selecting resistance cultivars to early blight. Plantlets of potato viruse free were obtained from the National plant gene bank of Iran, and were inoculated in vitro methods with a culture filtrate of A. solani. In in vitro selection by droplet of culture filtrate method, leaflet received a 10 μl droplet of the A. solani culture filtrate and in in vitro selection by direct using of culture filtrate method, plantlets were placed in test tubes that include 5 μl A. solani culture filtrate. The experimental design was factorial on basis of completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors, three replications and six genotypes. During droplet method assay, the A. solani symptoms appeared 1 - 2 days until 6 days and during direct method they appeared 2 - 3 days until 6 days. The AUDPC values were submitted to the analysis of varience (ANOVA) and AUDPC means were compared by using Duncan test (α = 0.01%). In each method, significant difference among potato cultivars was observed for disease to early blight (p in vitro methods experiment had the same result.

Adverse pregnancy outcomes in extremely maternal age

Objective: To study the adverse outcome in pregnant women ≤ 16 and ≥ 40 years. Study Design: A total of 1100 cases, 1061 cases of pregnant women ≤ 16 years, 20 - 29 and ≥ 40 years with completed charts between 1st January, 2006 to 31st December, 2010, were enrolled in this study. The patient data includeing demographic data, hospital course, maternal laboratory investigations, maternal complications, placental complications and neonatal outcomes were recorded. SPSS version 14, one-way Anowa, Chi-square and analysis of varience were used to compare the data among two and three groups. Results: Anemia, underlying medical diseases including heart, thyroid and pulmonary diseases, obstetric complications including severe pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus, placenta previa and preterm labour; medical administrations including magnesium sulfate, dexamethasone and bricanyl, outcome of deliveries and neonatal outcomes, were different with statistical significance between the 3 groups of pregnant women. Conclusion: Adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes were mostly found in the pregnant women ≤ 16 and ≥ 40 years. Education of contraception, safe sex and effective care during pregnancy of both extremely maternal age groups should be implemented to reduce those poor outcomes.

Triggerable single-component two-electrode voltammetric pH sensors using dyad molecules

We have synthesized two types of methoxyphenol thiols, Fc-MP1 and Fc-MP2 to use them in a voltammetric pH sensor. The methoxyphenol group was oxidatively triggered to o-quinone. Thus formed dyad molecules made possible pH measurements based on the pH-dependence of formal potential difference between quinone (pH indicator) and ferrocene (pH reference) moieties. Precise pH measurements over a wide pH range were possible even in a two-electrode mode without a reference electrode. The large polarization effect found in metal counter electrodes such as Au and Pt was removed by simply forming a mixed monolayer using an inert alkanethiol as a diluent. Fc-MP1 and Fc-MP2 were complementary in that Fc-MP2 covers the pH region that was not accessed by Fc-MP1 because of the potential overlap between the Fc+/Fc and Q/H2Q redox processes. The estimated errors were in the range of 0.03 to 0.06pH units from the analysis of varience.

Microbial Colonization and their Relation with Potential Cofactors in Patients with Denture Stomatitis

To determine microbial prevalence in the mucous membrane and prosthesis of denture wearers with and without denture stomatitis and to study its relationship with potential clinical cofactors. Saliva was collected from 200 patients (100 female and 100 male) wearing dental prosthesis for measurement of pH. Oral samples of the mucous membrane and of dentures were taken with sterile swab for microbiological analysis. Medical and dietary history of the subjects was recorded. Chi-square test and analysis of varience were used for statistical analysis. Diabetes, hypertension and high carbohydrate ingestion was observed in majority of patients. The pH average in saliva was of 5.1. The presence of C. albicans, S. aureus and S. mutans in the mucous membrane was of 55.4, 56.4 and 63.6% respectively. C. albicans was isolated in 69.7% from the prosthesis, whereas S. aureus and S. mutans were isolated in 45.3%. The isolation of C.albicans was more frequent in patients with denture stomatitis. C. albicans, S. aureus and S. mutans frequently colonize the oral mucous of denture wearers. This is more frequently observed in patients with denture stomatitis. Denture stomatitis is associated to Candida albicans, different bacteria and other cofactors, such as salivary pH, carbohydrate ingestion, systemic illnesses and medication.

Physico-chemical properties of a Haplic Acrisol in Southeastern Nigeria amended with rice mill waste and NPK fertilizer

The effect of rice mill waste (RMW) in combination with or without NPK 15:15:15 on some physicochemical properties of a Haplic Acrisol in Umudike, Southeastern Nigeria, was studied. The experiment comprised 10 treatments (20, 10, 5 and 2.5 t/ha RMW combined with 200 or 400 kg/ha NPK, 30 t/ha RMW alone, 400 kg/ha NPK alone and a control). They were laid in a randomized complete block design replicated 3 times. Data collected were subjected to analysis of varience. Results showed that relative to the control, application of RMW alone at 30 t/ha increased total porosity (Pt), saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and mean weight diameter (MWD) of water stable aggregates significantly by 41.1, 368.2 and 155.8%, respectively, and resulted in 20.9% significant decrease in bulk density (BD). Improvements by other treatments in the physical parameters when compared to the control were not statistically significant except the application of 20 t RMW + 200 kg NPK/ha on BD and Pt. Similarly, a combination of 20 t/ha RMW with NPK at 200-400 kg/ha and application of 30 t/ha RMW had significant increase in percent organic matter (OM) over the control treatment, indicating the potentials of RMW in improving physico-chemical properties of poor soils

Transactional Versus Transformational Style of Leadership—Employee Perception of Leadership Efficacy in Public and Private Hospitals in Kuwait

To determine whether employees working for a transformational leader perceive their leader as more effective than do those working for a transactional leader. To assess whether employees in private hospitals are more likely to perceive their leaders as transformational than are employees in public hospitals. A questionnaire study of a random sample of employees working at 4 hospitals (private and public) in Kuwait; 266 respondents included. Analysis of varience and regression analysis showed that the transformational style of leadership was linked to high level of employee perception of leadership efficacy. Also, the employees in private hospitals were more likely to perceive their leaders as transformational than were employees in public hospitals. Hospitals in Kuwait may benefit by recruiting leaders with a transformational style, as it is directly related to quality, employee satisfaction, increased productivity, and employee perception of leadership efficacy.

Client satisfaction: traditional care versus cluster care.

The purposes of this study were to describe and compare the level of satisfaction of clients receiving traditional care and those receiving cluster care. None of the studies reviewed described client satisfaction in the traditional and cluster care service delivery models using a reliable and valid instrument. The study sample consisted of 77 Medicaid-eligible elderly clients from three different home care agencies in an urban city. Of the 77 subjects, 37 (48 per cent) received cluster care, and 40 (52 percent) received traditional care. After receiving approval from the home health care agencies, subjects who agreed to participate in the study were asked to sign a consent form and to complete a demographic data sheet and the Gray's Home Care Satisfaction Scale (GHCSS). Internal consistency reliability for the GHCSS is 0.78, with content validity present. An independent student's t test showed a statistically significant difference in the level of satisfaction of clients receiving traditional care and cluster care (t = -5.27, P = .0005). Clients receiving traditional care had higher levels of satisfaction than clients receiving cluster care. Additional findings showed that men in both the traditional and cluster care groups were more satisfied than women (t = -3.19, P = .003 and t = -2.96, P = .007, respectively). Analysis of variance showed that blacks in both the traditional and cluster care groups had lower levels of satisfaction than either whites or Hispanics. Implications of study findings are discussed.

A computer-interfaced photometer and systematic spacing of duplicates to control within-plate enzyme-immunoassay variation

A Multiskan photometer for reading microtiter plate enzyme immunoassays was linked with a time sharing computer to facilitate control of assay variation and analysis of results. The interface that converted photometer output to RS-232-C format required changes to divide the output into segments short enough for input to the computer. To measure within-plate variation and investigate how the method of allocating sample duplicates to plate wells may affect the estimation of sample varience, uniformity tests were conducted with 47 plates. Coefficients of variation (CV) among wells within-plates ranged from 4.6 to 20.7% and in two-thirds of the plates exceeded 10%. Duplicates allocated to adjacent wells (method 1) gave consistently higher CV for sample means than duplicates allocated to opposite plate quadrants (method 2). In general, the CV by method 2 was about 30% smaller than that by method 1. Analysis of varience confirmed the effectiveness of the quadrant pattern of duplicate allocation as a method of controlling variation that arises from well position effects.

The Effect of Grinding on the True Metabolizable Energy Value of Hull-Less Barley

The cultivars of hull-less barley, each coarsely and finely ground, were assayed for true metabolizable energy (TME) and TME corrected to zero nitrogen balance (TMEn). The finely ground barleys contained less TME (P<.05) than the coarsely ground barleys, but differences among cultivars were not significant (P<.05). The TMEn values were consistently smaller than the TME values; the correction reduced the error mean square in the analysis of varience by 40%. There was a significant interaction between cultivars and grinds in the TMEn data (P<.05), but the differences were small. The TME values of hull-less barley were similar to those of normal barleys with hulls and were not increased by fine grinding.

Cattle Biting Louse Control, 1979

Abstract Twenty new-born bull calves were purchased in late December - early January and housed in a temperature controlled calf barn at 10-13°C. Test calves were maintained in veal calf crates modified with plywood and galvanized iron sheeting to prevent contact be-tween animals or louse immigration. Calves were assigned randomly to 4 treatment groups, 5 calves each, in a completely randomized design. A single appli-cation of each treatment was applied on Feb 10. Louse populations were sampled at weekly intervals beginning two weeks prior to treatment and for 6 weeks post-treatment. Ten sites on each animal were sampled; two were narrow strips along the dorsal midline, one between the shoulder blades, the other just anterior to the railhead. The other sample sites were 4x4 inch areas, each defined with a template, two on each side of the withers and the rump approx-imately 10 inches down from the midline. All late instar and adult lice observed in each sample area were talleyed and a mean was calculated for the number of lice at each site within treatments. Weekly mean values were compared by analysis of varience.
