Abstract: Phthirapteran antennae are the principal sites of sensory structures. The antenna of ischnoceran Phthiraptera consists of three components viz. basal scape, a pedicel and the flagellum. The flagellum is further sub divided into three segments: first, second and third flagellomere.  SEM study revealed that the second and third flagellomere of Goniocotes species infesting Helmeted Guinea fowl, Numida melagris carry a placodean sensilla and a sensilla coeloconica. The scape, pedicel and I flagellomere carry 1-3 sensilla chaetica and tectile hair. The nature of sensory organ of both the sexes of adult and different instars of nymphs of Goniocotes species appear quite similar. The present report thus furnishes information on the nature of antennal sensilla of three instars of nymphs and the adult of an ischnoceran louse Gonicotes species infesting Helmeted Guinea fowl.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discover the role and position of dividend policy in management decisions, and also to investigate the relation between financing sources and investment opportunities with dividend changes. According to the free cash flow theory, it is expected of the companies with high investment opportunities to implement anti inflationary dividend policy. The level of debt also plays an important and basic role in implementation of this policy and securing financing for investment in profitable situations. In this study, the relation between variables was tested and analysed using a sample of 184 companies in Tehran Stock Exchange with the correlation matrix, correlation coefficient and linear and multi regression methods. The results indicate an inverse significant linear relationship between financial leverage, investment opportunities and dividend policy. The reciprocity and joint relation between investment opportunities and financial leverage on determining dividend policy, is also inverse.

Abstract: Peroxotungstic acid precursor solution was sprayed on indium-doped tin oxide (ITO) glass substrates to synthesize amorphous and crystalline phase tungsten oxide thin films by changing heating temperature. We could synthesize the amorphous phase at below 400 oC and the monoclinic crystalline tungsten oxide at above 400 oC. Electrochemical and in-situ optical transmittance analysis showed that amorphous phase tungsten oxide at 250 oC had a good electrochromic property with a large optical transmittance change between its bleached and colored states. The coloration mechanisms are due to polaron generation by inserting ions and electrons to change W+6 state to W+5 or W+4 state.

Abstract: The word of drug means all kinds of drugs, stimulants, hallucinogens mantle that are physical and psychological painful followed by one or more times after taking the drug. One of the important issues of drug sentencing jurisprudence examine contemporary mother, which do not require extensive jurisprudence. Drugs were not known at the time of Islam, so that the question of infallible Imams (PBUH) is not a sentence them to be expressed. General rules and principles of law that came to be known as the Book and the Sunnah and Tafrigh Al Forou Men Al Osoul principle to review the sentence. Islam is a way to access the drug seemed to consist of: Investigate the properties, characteristics and consequences or effects that may arise regarding drugs, such as being harmful to the body, John, corruption and lies, and... If Islam is clear about each of these features, we can sentence on the drug charge. It seems that the general rules of law and called the Book and Sunnah indicates that the use of prohibited substances that have a gross disadvantage is legitimate and rational prohibited.

Department of Educational Sciences, Payam Noor University, Tehran South Branch, Tehran, Iran

 

Abstract: Nahjolbalaghe is an excerpt from sermons, letters and aphorisms of Imam Ali (AS) and is an encyclopedia of Islamic culture. The great scholar of Shia, Seyyed Razi (died in 406 AH) collected Nahjolbalaghe and deep content of it are expressed in forms of words and eloquent statement which changed it into an immortal piece. As each every deep-thinking considers it over the speech of creations and lower than the words of God and the title of “Brother of Quran” is the most proper one for it. There is no doubt that Nahjolbalaghe is the most valuable and important Islamic heritage after Quran. It is a collection of the most beautiful and super lessons of a perfect human being for leading the individual and society; a human being who is the best and most complete after Holy Prophet.

 Abstract: Energy is a basic necessity for human activities, economic and social development. However, in Nigeria, insufficient energy remains a strong barrier to technological and economical growth of the country. Incessant power outages have become order of the day. This has led to closure of many manufacturing outfits. The resultant effect of this is mass unemployment and under-employment. A larger population of Nigeria depends on fossil fuels for energy generation, which are not renewable and constitute hazards to both human and ecology. However, all hope is not lost as the country is blessed with a lot of natural resources, through which alternative forms of energy, which are renewable, could be generated. The renewable energy resources available in Nigeria and their capabilities are examined in this review. Also examined are various factors militating against effective utilization and harnessing of these vast and abundant energy resources. The study concluded that renewable energy resources were well abound in the country, but they were not effectively utilized and if properly harnessed will be a sure solution to perennial energy shortage in the country.

Abstract: Schistosoma haematobium is the only known agent of urinary schistosomiasis which is a chronic water-borne infection caused by digenetic trematodes that belong to the genus Schistosoma. Urinary schistosomiasis is noted to be more prevalent in Nigeria than intestinal schistosomiasis, due to the wider distribution of its snail hosts, Bulinus species as well as other socioeconomic factors. Ten (10 ml) of urine sample was collected from each of the informed and consenting pupils and secondary school students between 10am and 2pm. The biochemical parameters were analyzed using Combi – 9 test strips. Egg count per 10 ml of urine was performed using 10x and 40x objective lenses. A total of 485 urine specimens were collected from five different schools.  Among the population studied, the overall prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium infection was 38.14% (185 of 485). The prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis among males was 40.74% (110 of 270) while that of females was 34.88% (75 of 215). The overall prevalence of the infection among the study population was statistically significant (p˂0.05). Three biochemical parameters were observed among the positive cases. They are proteinuria, ketonuria and Ascorbic acid, with prevalence of 87.57% (162 of 185), 35.14% (65 of 185), and 40.54% (75 of 185) respectively. The prevalence of proteinuria among the positive cases was statistically significant (p˂0.05), whereas those of ketonuria and ascorbic acid were statistically non – significant (p˃0.05). The mean quantitative egg count was 17.2eggs/10ml of urine.

Abstract: This scientific research article focus that the “Material Universe” shall be considered as the integral part of “COSMO UNIVERSE” and considered as having “definite shape” where all life, matters, planets consider exists. The Tritronic Universe (material universe) shall be considered like “TRIPOD” like structure composed of Triangular “BASE PLATE” and “TRI-TRONIC PLATES” as super structural members. This research further focus that in the “Cosmo Universe”, SUN, EARTH, MOON shall be considered as the “TRIO-SPHERES” of the universe rather than “PLANETS” of the “Solar System”. “MARS” shall be considered as the “CENTRO SPHERE” of the material universe connecting the “Base Plate” through “TRI-TRONIC PLATES” with “Three directional”  “EXPANSION JOINTS”.
