    Annual volume of pancreatic resections has been shown to affect mortality rates, prompting recommendations to regionalize these procedures to high-volume hospitals. Implementation has been difficult, given the paucity of high-volume centers and the logistical hardships facing patients. Some studies have shown that low-volume hospitals achieve good outcomes as well, suggesting that other factors are involved. We sought to determine whether variations in annual volume affected patient outcomes in 511 patients who underwent pancreatic resections at the University of California, San Francisco between 1990 and 2005. We compared postoperative mortality and complication rates between low, medium, or high volume years, designated by the number of resections performed, adjusting for patient characteristics. Postoperative mortality rates did not differ between high volume years and medium/low volume years. As annual hospital volume of pancreatic resections may not predict outcome, identification of actual predictive factors may allow low-volume centers to achieve excellent outcomes

    This study investigates how the implementation of Enterprise Risk Management program affects the performance of firms using an Enterprise Risk Management model for the banking sector and an integrated model for measuring Enterprise Risk Management index used in the study by Mukhtar and Soliman (2016). Ten listed commercial banks were selected with the Enterprise Risk Management index as the main independent variable, with Return on Average Equity (ROAE), Share Price Return (SPR) and Firm Value (FV) used as three separate dependent variables. The study provides strong evidence of a positive relationship between Enterprise Risk Management implementation and performance in the Nigerian banking sector. The findings and conclusions of this study are consistent with those of other studies that used data from different industries, providing a basis from which to generalize the findings from this study to firms in other industries

    The purpose of this study was to find out the marketing strategies of vegetables in Alebo Village, find out the revenue from the sale of vegetables and the number of contributions from vegetable farming to the total income of farmer households. This research was conducted in Alebo Village, Konda District, South Konawe Regency. The population in this study were all vegetable farmers in Alebo Village with a total of 150 people. Determination of the sample is done by simple random sampling. Determination of the number of samples using the Slovin formula in Rianse (2009) which is as many as 60 people. The data collected consists of primary data and secondary data. Data analysis using descriptive method is a method that aims to analyze marketing strategies based on marketing mix strategies, namely product, price, place, and promotion, the results of vegetable sales at the Farmer level in Alebo Village Konda Sub-District, South Konawe District and to find out contributions income from vegetable farming to farmers\u27 total income is used percentage formula. The results showed that the marketing strategy of vegetables produced by farmers in Alebo Village was to use a mixed marketing strategy such as the first strategy of product mix was the farmers\u27 strategy on four vegetable products such as kale, spinach, long beans and chili having a product. quality and quantity are determinants and influence competitive advantage in the vegetable industry. Farmers must pay more attention to the characteristics of marketable vegetables. The second strategy of price mix, namely pricing at the level of vegetable farmers in Alebo Village is determined based on market mechanisms. Given the collectors commonly called papalele to have the capital to do marketing and are most able to access the market. the third mixed distribution strategy is the vegetable marketing channel that this farmer has one channel in which producer farmers do vegetable marketing through papalele. And four promotional mix strategies are a form of promotion carried out by vegetable farmers in their products by means of personal sales promotions. Receipt of sales results are often faced with price fluctuations sometimes high even low if low but farmers do not lose. Based on the results of the study, vegetable prices at the time of the study were categorized as normal prices. And vegetables are sold out. The contribution from vegetable farming to the total household income in Alebo village is 88%. This shows that vegetable farming is a source of income that contributes greatly to respondent farmers

    Occupational exposure to wood smoke and oil fumes is an important cause of respiratory problems. Meat roasting exposes workers to hazard of wood smoke and oil fumes. The aim of this study was to assess peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and other cardiometabolic parameters of meat roasters (Mai suya) in Kano, Nigeria. A total of 105 participants consisting of 55 meat roasters and 50 controls were recruited. All participants were assessed for PEFR, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) according to standard protocols. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23.0 and p value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Mean age of the meat roasters and controls was 30.64±10.28 and 23.68±3.15 years. Meat roasters had statistically significant lower PEFR (243±85.35 vs 377.40±64.93 mL/min; p = 0.01), elevated diastolic pressure (81.91±6.64 vs 78.36±4.59 mmHg; p = 0.01), mean arterial pressure (94.12±7.96 vs 90.75±4.88 mmHg; p = 0.01) and BMI (19.53±2.40 vs 18.49±2.08 kg/m2; p = 0.02) compared to the controls. Number of years of working as meat roaster was positively correlated with systolic pressure (r = 0.67, p = 0.01), diastolic pressure (r = 0.41, p = 0.01), mean arterial pressure (r = 0.60, p = 0.01), BMI (r = 0.37, p = 0.01), and pulse rate (r = 0.46, p = 0.01). Meat roasting is associated with impaired lung function and altered blood pressure. Routine assessment of lung function and use of safety equipment should be encouraged among meat roasters

    Some structural, equilibrium and kinetic studies of aromatic nitro-compounds with nucleophiles

    The interactions of certain aromatic nitre compounds with nucleophiles in protic solvents and in protic dipolar aprotic solvent mixtures have been investigated using the techniques of proton magentic resonance and visible spectroscopy. Picrate ion reacts with concentrated aqueous sodium sulphite to give an unusual ion carrying five negative charges. This results from the covalent addition of two sulphite molecules to the picrate ion, at ring carbon carrying hydrogen. At low sulphite concentration a 1:1 adduct is produced. The equilibrium constants for the formation of these complexes have been determined. Solvent effects on the formation of 1:1 adduct were examined in water-dimethyl sulphoxide mixtures. With hydroxide ion in aqueous solutions, the major of the picrate ion is to give a 1:2 adduct.1,2,3,5-Tetranitrobenzene reacts with hydroxide ion or sulphite ion in water, or ethoxide ion in ethanol to form red complexes whose NMR spectra indicate covalent addition of the nucleophile at C(_4). The complexes are not stable and replacement of the nitro group at occurs quickly. The equilibrium and the rate constants for these processes have been measured. In contrast 1,2,4 ,5-tetranitrobenzene reacts with hydroxide ion to give 2,4,5-trinitrophenol without the production of colour. With ethoxide or sulphite ions coloured species are produced. l,3-Dimethoxy-4,6-dinitrobenzene reacts with methoxide ion in dimethyl sulphoxide-methanol mixtures to form an adduct whose NMR spectrum indicates methoxide addition at C(_2). The equilibrium constants in various solvent compositions have been determined. Solvent effects on the stability of Meisenheimer complexes formed from 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene and thiolate ions have been investigated in alcohol-water mixtures. The equilibrium constants for formation of the1:1 adducts are smaller in water than in alcohol but go through a maximum at about 80% alcohol. The equilibrium constants of the 1:2 adducts increase monotonically as the proportion of water is increased and are ca. 10(^3) greater in water than in pure alcohol. This greater stability is attributed partly to the good solvation by water of a localised negative charge on the nitro group between the positions of addition
