This 60 days experiment was carried out to ascertain the effect of dietary supplementation of Holarrhenapubescens leaf powder (HPLP) on the growth performance, carcass characteristics, intestinal microbial population and some heamato-biochemical parameter of piglets. A total of 50 cross bred male pig with an initial body weight 9.90 ± 0.28 kg were randomly divided into five groups (GA, GB, GC, GD and GE) with five replicates (1 animal per replicate). Feed (Standard) used in this study was Corn-soya based diet compounded with Nutritional Research Council (2012) standard. The first week was a pre-feeding period where piglets were acclimatized and dewormed against parasites and provided unlimited accesses to clean water throughout the experimental period. A completely randomized design method was adopted and piglets in GA was fed standard diet without HPLP while those in GB, GC, GD and GE received same diet supplemented with HPLP at 30 g, 60 g, 90 g and 120 g in that order. Phytochemical screening of HPLP showed that it contained phenols, terpenoids and flavonoids as the most prominent compounds while others include, alkaloids, tannins, saponins and glycosides. Increase in the supplementation significantly improved (P˂0.05) average daily weight gain, average daily feed intake, dressing percentage and reduced feed conversion ratio and mortality among animals. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Proteus spp, Pseudomonas spp and Staphyllococusspp count were significantly suppressed by HPLC, conversely, Lacobacillusspp increased across the group. Pack cell volume, haemoglobin, red blood cell, white blood cell, total protein, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein were significantly influenced (P˂0.05) except for monocytes, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase (P˃0.05). Supplementation of HPLP at 120 g/kg diet gave the best result and the performance of animals were not compromised.

Background: A crucial factor for promoting the rational use of medications is the implementation of effective distribution practices. These practices involve providing the appropriate medication in a suitable form to the correct patient, at the right dosage and quantity, accompanied by clear instructions, and packaged in a way that maintains the drug's potency Objective: to assess community pharmacists’ adherence to rational dispensing practice at selected community pharmacies in Addis Ababa. Method: A cross sectional study design was employed to assess the adherence of community pharmacists to rational prescribing practices. World Health organization prescribing standards was used to carry out face to face interview via close ended questionnaire. Result: The study conducted on total of 12 pharmacies and 120 clients showed that all the selected pharmacies fulfilled the standard 100%. All have the needed materials with the appropriate environment, of the observed pharmacists the most frequently given information’s was frequency and duration with percentages of 96.7% and 95% respectively. However important informations like side effect, precautions and contraindications were not given much emphasis only 9.2% informed about side effects, 10% about precautions and 21% about contraindications. Conclusion: This study revealed that mere knowledge and skills related to our area of research are insufficient. While pharmacists appear to possess the essential qualifications, there are instances of negligence among them. Consequently, it is important to implement regular training and awareness programs, as such lapses can lead to adverse outcomes for clients and patients.

Using data from 1990 to 2022, this study examines how trade openness affects environmental contamination and evaluates the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in Nigeria. The results, which were obtained using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model, demonstrate that trade openness has a substantial long-term and short-term impact on environmental pollution. In particular, over time, there is a 0.07% increase in environmental pollution for every 1% increase in trade openness. The EKC hypothesis, which contends that initial economic expansion causes environmental degradation but ultimately leads to improvements, is supported by the positive and considerable impact that economic development has on environmental pollutants. Deforestation has a beneficial but negligible impact on the environment, whereas urbanisation has a positive correlation with pollution. Urbanisation, economic growth, and trade openness all have a major short-term impact on pollution, whereas deforestation has little effect. In order to lessen the detrimental environmental effects of trade openness and economic growth, the study suggests the implementation of cleaner production technologies, stronger environmental regulations, the encouragement of sustainable urban planning, and initiatives to stop deforestation.

This study investigates the relationship between Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, and US financial markets. To broadly represent US financial markets, two assets are considered: the S&P 500 (SPY) and Gold. The prices of these three assets are used to create a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to show that the price behavior of the individual assets does not have a statistically significant relationship to Bitcoin (and vice-versa) due to the stark differences in the market structure these assets trade-in and the characteristics of the asset itself. The daily closing price data is sourced from the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and is transformed to a monthly level prior to the VAR model. This reduces the effects of outlier events and creates a dataset fit for longer-term analysis. While all three assets see long-term growth (year-over-year), independently, in the short-term (month-to-month), the VAR results suggest no statistical relationship between Bitcoin-S&P and Bitcoin-Gold. The relevance of this study can be seen in the context of portfolio theories.
