ABOUT AJBM The African Journal of Business Management (AJBM) is published twice monthly (one volume per year) by Academic Journals. African Journal of Business Management (AJBM) is an open access journal that publishes research analysis and inquiry into issues of importance to the business community. Articles in AJBM examine emerging trends and concerns in the areas of general management, business law, public responsibility and ethics, marketing theory and applications, business finance and investment, general business research, business and economics education, production/operations management, organizational behaviour and theory, strategic management policy, social issues and public policy, management organization, statistics and econometrics, personnel and industrial relations, technology and innovation, case studies, and management information systems. The goal of AJBM is to broaden the knowledge of business professionals and academicians by promoting free access and providing valuable insight to business‐related information, research and ideas. AJBM is a
A study was undertaken to assess the prevalence, mean intensity, abundance and seasonality of parasites of fish in a natural, freshwater, tropical lake, southeast Nigeria. A total of 1191 fish specimen belonging to four families (Cichlidae, Bagridae, Hepsetidae and Channidae), seven genera and nine species were collected from the lake and examined for parasites. Eleven (11) species of parasites comprising metacercariae of three digenetic trematodes, one cestode, five nematodes and two acanthocephalans were isolated. Clinostomoides sp. showed the highest range of sites of infection, and the operculum carried significantly more worm burden (F = 196.843, d.f. = 5, p = 0.000) than other sites infected by this parasite. Prevalence ranged from 0.7 % in Clinostomum tilapiae infection of T. zillii to 71.7 % in Neochinorhynchus sp.2 infection of Hepsetidae fasciatus with an overall prevalence of 59.5%. Mean intensity ranged from 1.0 ± 0.0 in Clinostomoides sp. and Proteocephalus sp. infection of P. obscura and Anemone occidentalis, respectively, to 76.5 ± 29.7 in Neoechinorhynchus sp. 2 infection of H. fasciatus. Neoechinorhynchus sp. 2 infection also had the highest mean abundance (54.90 ± 2.74) while the lowest was recorded in the Clinostomoides sp. infection of H. fasciatus. Patterns of infection were significantly different in the prevalence and abundance of Clinostomoides sp; Camallanus sp.3 and Neoechinorhynchus sp.1 while mean intensity was comparable in all cases.
Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum F. sp. phaseoli caused growers to abandon the most popular climbing bean cultivar, Umubano (G2333) in Rwanda. The present objective was to determine the nature of inheritance of fusarium wilt resistance and recommend a breeding strategy to introduce resistance into susceptible cultivars. Two cultivars, vuninkingi (G685) and flora were donors of resistance to fusarium wilt whereas G2333 was highly susceptible. Injured root tips of 10-day old seedlings of the\n parents, progenies of F1 and F2 (G2333 × G685) and (G2333 × Flora), backcrosses F2 (G685 × Flora) were inoculated with 106 conidia ml-1 of Rwandan isolate of F. oxysporum F. sp phaseoli (FOP-RW2) in a glasshouse. The disease severity was rated 28 days later using the CIAT scale of 1 - 9, where 1 - 3 represent resistant, 4 - 6 tolerant and 7 - 9 susceptible reactions. The chi-square analysis was performed to determine the Mendelian segregation ratios of resistant and susceptibility among the inoculated progenies. The F1 and the backcross progenies to the resistant parents segregated in the ratio of 1:0 as\n did the F2 population (G685 × Flora). The F2 progenies segregated in the ratio of 3:1. The backcross progenies to the susceptible parent segregated in the ratio of 1:1. Resistance to fusarium wilt is conditioned by a single highly heritable major dominant gene. The resistance can be achieved by backcross breeding.
Cephalalgia has been successful by a number of measures in the last 12 months: our circulation is up particularly through electronic penetration in libraries, our submission rate has risen substantially and our impact factor remains high amongst clinical neuroscience journals. We are entering our fifth and last year of the current publisher’s contract. In the life of the contract we have switched to a very successful on-line submission system, finalized details for a new CDROM containing all issues of Cephalalgia and Headache, and will publish this year the revised International Headache Society classification for headache (1). All of this is excellent progress The journal continues to attract a range of important, interesting and often very thought-provoking submissions. We have benefitted greatly from the broad range of interests of the Associate Editors we are able to recommend and solicit high-quality expert reviews that keep the scientific standards high. In keeping with our general philosophy there is a need for renewal amongst the Associate Editors, and Professor Peer Tfelt-Hansen will be standing down. Peer is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative figures on clinical trial methodology in headache, his wide contributions to the field have appropriately lead to his election as President of the International Headache Society. The journal thanks him for his contributions, and congratulates him on his election. After wide consultation I have invited Professor Nahib Ramadan, University of Chicago, to join the Associate Editors. Professor Ramadan was extensively involved in the journal under the previous Editor-in-Chief, Professor K. Michael Welch, and brings both excellence in academic life and a stint in industry with that important perspective to the Board. I welcome his acceptance of the invitation. From this issue Cephalalgia will become a monthly journal. We have a strong throughput of excellent work and rather than raise the rejection rate, and somewhat arbitrarily dismiss work that readers might be very interested in seeing, we felt it timely to increase to 12 issues a year. We hope this will allow more rapid publication of your accepted work and a greater range of interesting papers for readers in any one year. Let me close by thanking the Editorial Assistant Faye Cheeseman for her sterling efforts at the Blackwell’s Office in keeping the journal ticking over, our referees whose expertise is the key to our success, the Associate Editors who do so much for the journal, and you the reader for your continued support for Cephalalgia.
Excess energy intake can trigger an uncontrolled inflammatory response, leading to systemic low-grade inflammation and metabolic disturbances that are hypothesised to contribute to cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are suggested to mitigate this inflammatoryresponse,butthemechanismsareunclear,especiallyatthetissuelevel. Adiposetissues, the first tissues to give an inflammatory response, may be an important target site of action for EPA and DHA. To evaluate the effects of EPA and DHA in white and brown adipose tissues, we fed male C57Bl/6J mice either a high fat diet (HFD) with 5% corn oil, an HFD with 40% of the corn oil substituted for purified EPA and DHA triglycerides (HFD-ED), or normal chow, for 8 weeks. Fatty acid profiling and transcriptomics were used to study how EPA and DHA affect retroperitoneal whiteandbrownadiposetissues.

Therefore, our data suggests that EPA and DHA supplementation of a high fat diet may be anti-inflammatory, as well as reduce lipid accumulation in adipose tissues.

Conservation and restoration of cultural heritage and protection of abandoned buildings is possible using new technologies in order to create a knowledge base to maintain the original condition of buildings as long as possible. This paper presents the digital geometric survey, combining photogrammetry and photogrammetry with drone for the documentation of a building located in the Riviera Romagnola. The fundamental task to survey historic buildings, in order to document their geometric and morphological features with very high accuracy, becomes an important incentive for the use of innovative hybrid approach. The building case study is the Woodpecker nightclub built in 1966 and abandoned in 1970 due to a fire that devastated the structure.
