COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE OF DIFFERENT SAMPLING METHODS USED FOR MOSQUITO CATCHES IN IKEDURU L.G.A., IMO STATE, NIGERIA
Get PDFMosquitoes are obnoxious and notorious blood-sucking insects that devastate human population through malaria attack. This study was carried out in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria in year 2020 with the aim of identifying the most effective method of mosquito sampling. Collection sites were randomly selected based on areas where human activities that aid the breeding of mosquitoes were observed. Mosquitoes were collected using four methods for the adult stage and one method for the larval stage. The methods applied and compared were the pyrethrum knock down/ spray sheet mosquito sampling method, the human bait/ human landing catch technique, the sweep net collection method, the mosquito net-light trap technique and the dipper technique. Sampled mosquitoes were identified using standard methods. The results of the comparative performance evaluations of the different mosquito sampling methods revealed that sweep net and pyrethrum knock down/ spray sheets had the highest occurrence of mosquito species while the dipper mosquito sampling method showed the least performance. This implies that the most effective way for mosquito vector catch from their breeding sites is through the use of sweep net and pyrethrum knock down/ spray sheets. The two effective sampling techniques permit mosquitoes to be picked intact without dismembering them for easy identification
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF THE ELDERLY POPULATION IN SRI LANKA
Get PDFElderly population can be identified as one of the growing disposition nowadays. The process of the aging of the population can be considered as an important sector on population studies. Basically population aging is the growth of the population who are more than 60 years old than the population under the age of 15. According to United Nation estimation on population by 2025-2035 the growth rate of the 60t population would be 2.8% while the growth rate of general population would be 0.83%. Sri Lanka is well known as a South Asian country with increasing elderly population .It is consequential to take appropriate action for the increasing population of elders. The aging of Sri Lankan population is a consequence of a positive disposition of the decreasing of fertility and life expectancy .Therefore it is better to calculate the matter of aging population in a positive light .The provisional necessity is to create opportunities for the elders to involve in economic development without being a burden to the economy. The purpose of the paper is to study on the feasibility of the elderly population on economics.

Though they aimed to earn a payment via a job, their main purpose of working was gaining self-satisfaction and spending a quality time. Moreover they preferred if the retirement age get extended to 63 and it was evident that they liked the self-satisfaction of spending a quality time. It would be advantages to the economy at the elderly population engage in further working
POTENTIAL IMPACT OF TIME ON DNA DAMAGE, MICRONUCLEUS WITH LIVER CONTENTS AND FUNCTION AFTER PARTIAL HEPATECTOMY IN RATS
Get PDFLiver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PH) is one of the most captivating phenomena in medicine. The aim of this work was to study the effect of time (days) on DNA damage, micronucleus, liver contents (weight, water and lipid %) and function after PH in male rats was evaluated. Liver weight, water and lipid contents as well transaminases enzymes, bilirubin (BR) and protein were determined. In addition, DNA fragmentation, micronucleus (Mn) induction and hemoglobin were also assessed. Liver weight was decreased significantly and restored to normal by day 3. However, lipid content was increased significantly but restored to normal by day 7. Water content was similarly increased in regenerating liver and restored the normal by day 28. Transaminases, Brill and protein levels were decreased and restored to normal by day 14. In addition, hemoglobin was decreased and restored to normal by day 28. DNA fragmentation and micronucleus frequency were increased significantly compared to control (day 0) and restored to normal on day 7 and 28 for DNA and Mn, respectively. In conclusion, liver regeneration in male rats after 70% partial hepatectomy (PH), response at 3rd, 7th, and 14th days. Our results might be of clinical relevance for human medicine

MODEL FEMINISM THEORY; THE SOCIAL CYBERNETICS TRADITION ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SOCIAL COMMUNICATION POLICIES
Get PDFWith the emergence of social cybernetics as the effectiveness of social policies in information management that can provide public services in the field of information. Feminism theory links social reality with patterns of social cognition, a theory of human communication in interpersonal communication that is formed by relationships with social reality. The relationship associated with the problem of human dialectical behavior by obtaining existing information in a narrow and broad sense as if without distance and time, changes social cybernetics as social management which they acquire in a new information system that can make it easier for them to obtain information around the world and even the social environment of society practically. The idea of conceptualizing digital information has become an important communicator and message in communication research but it remains less theorizing about "conversational relationships. This article is a theoretical critique that hypothesizes the field of cybernetics about how the field of information transmission in certain systems of personal communication, mass media communication, is socially responsible for society with digital information systems and social science philosophies that influence one another. The information system model that appears in social cybernetics in the field of social science is suitable for studying the study of relevant sources as the delivery of information messages that support, strengthen, neutralize the pattern of human social life as the realm of human information systems, and support patterns of human interaction with social creatures that require the system. Human information has a pattern of individual knowledge and experience to elevate the cultural traditions of humans themselves
