Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) is a zoonosis affecting both human and non-human primates (NHP).The virus causing the outbreak has been characterized as Zaire Ebolavirus (EBOV). EBOV belongs to the genus Ebolavirus which together with the genus Marburgvirus forms the family of Filoviridae.

The study evaluated the effects of substituting inorganic selenium with organic selenium on broiler chicken’s growth performance. We used 972 male Ross broiler chickens that were randomly distributed in 36 pens with 27 birds each. The birds were fed an ad libitum (at one’s pleasure) corn-soybean diet from one to 43 days of age. The treatments consisted of two main groups, the whole or fractional inorganic sodium selenium (IS) treatments and the organic selenium (OS) produced by Sel-Plex®.

The present study deals with an efficient in vitro propagation of an endangered medicinally important Tylophora indica (Burm f.) Merill well known in traditional medicine for the treatment of asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough and dysentery. Micropropagation of T.indica was carried out using various combinations and concentrations of growth hormones among which best result was observed with Adenine sulphate (2.0mg/l) in combination with BAP(1.0mg/l).A callus free multiple shoot formation was observed with the above combination.

A rapid, simple, selective and sensitive LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of Amlodipine Besylate and Hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma using Amlodipine D4 and HCTZ 15N213C D2 as internal standard (IS). The method was developed with turbid ion spray (TIS) in the positive ion and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The mobile phase was Water: Methanol (05:95) with 1 ml Ammonia Solution. Chromatographic separation was achieved on CHIRALCEL OZ-3R, 4.6 x 150 mm, column with a flow rate of 1.0ml/min.

This study aimed to review findings of scientific articles which the use of proteomic tools made it possible to characterize the metabolic profile of obese individuals. We searched the electronic databases: Scielo, PubMed, Lilacs and capes. The time period was defined as 10 years, having as main keywords: proteomics, proteome, obesity, biomarkers. The use of serum proteomic techniques proposed prognostic markers for diseases and diseases resulting from obesity, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

This study primarily focuses on examining the relationship between the Market Orientation Strategy (MOS) and Strategic Management Accounting (SMA) usage while checking the adoption of both of these concepts. It is based on sample of management accountants working in Qatar and uses the linear regression model to test the relationship between both concepts. The finding indicates that while the companies in Qatar had adopted market orientation business strategy overwhelmingly the usage of SMA appears to be weak with only a moderate form of relationship between MOS and SMA.

The study sought to examine factors affecting provision of quality education to learners with Hearing Impairments at basic school level with a particular focus on the teaching methods being applied by teachers and availability of appropriate teaching and learning materials. It is our assumption that provision of quality education to learners with Hearing Impaired can only be attained through the use of appropriate teaching methods and availability of teaching and learning materials.
