However, effective coping strategies may assist the return to a balance state, reducing the negative effects of stress. The aim of this study was to determine the level of stress, source of stress and coping strategies adopted by the students. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study in which 400 stress survey questionnaires were distributed to the students of selected faculties.

Interplay between hyperosmotic stress and protein kinase a in regulation of ciliary beat frequency in vitro

Ciliary beat frequency is an important component of mucociliary clearance. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that hyperosmotic stress reduces ciliary beat frequency and that this reduction can be influenced by protein kinase A manipulation in vitro. Using ciliated nasal epithelial cells ciliary beat frequency was measured at 32oC under different osmotic conditions with or without protein kinase A manipulation. In isoosmotic media at 32oC protein kinase A activation stabilised ciliary beat frequency near baseline and its inhibition significantly reduced ciliary beat frequency.

Sustainable agricultural development in Nigeria in the 21st century: The role of the university

Gas chromatographic determination of synthetic antioxidants in liquid frying oil samples

Natural and synthetic antioxidants play a significant role in retarding the lipid oxidation           reactions in food products. Prevention of lipid peroxidation has long become an important            issue, since oils and fats, essential to our diets, tend to encounter problems of oxidation and rancidity, which affect food quality and also may threat human health.

Analytical quality by design (AQBD): new paradigm for analytical method development

Quality of a finished product is gauged by compliance of certain predetermined specifications. This is ascertained by validated analytical procedures carried out by quality control personnel and laid down by the Quality Assurance (QA) department of a pharmaceutical company. In the present scenario, testing of the finished product alone is not sufficient, but emphasis is on ‘Total Quality Management’ through in-process testing and analysis.

Assessment of the current food safety regulatory system in Afghanistan and its future with a new independent regulatory structure

This paper examines the current National Food Safety System of Afghanistan in contrast to some countries in the developed world. The main organizational structure of Afghanistan, its legal framework, the competent authorities and division of their responsibilities are discussed. Particularly, I examine the roles and responsibilities of different agencies in order to identify possible similarities and differences with food control authorities operating in the developed world countries and determine which features are considered most successful.
