ABSTRACT


Though wide spread studies show a strong link between cash conversion cycle and financial performance of organisations around the world, there are however, limited studies of such found in developing countries. This study examines the cash conversion cycle and financial performance of listed healthcare companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2012 to 2016, in order to establish the relationship between cash conversion cycle and financial performance. The study used descriptive analysis and the correlation model. The data was obtained from the published financial statements and accounts of firms by Nigerian Stock Exchange. The
Pearson Correlation coefficient was calculated to establish the relationship and a ttest administered to determine the significance of the relationship. Key findings were that there exists a negative relationship between cash conversion cycle and financial performance of healthcare companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange – a negative return of -0.313; that the sectorial correlation coefficient, was -0.1471; and
that the reduction of turnover period can increase financial performance and profitability. This suggests that firms with short cash conversion cycles were likely to perform better than those with long cash conversion cycles. Firms in the sector are therefore encouraged to shorten their cash cycles. Also recommended is that healthcare companies should deliberately and efficiently control cash along their supply chain networks and avoid stockpiling. Key words: Cash Conversion cycle, Inventory Turnover, Average payment Period.

ABSTRACT


The antimicrobial properties of plants have been well documented globally.
Scarcely any assessed their activities against potentially food poisoning
organisms directly isolated from the contaminated foods. This present study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of extracts of Banana (Musa paradisiaca) and Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) leaves on Staphylococcus aureus isolated from Yaji, a Nigerian seasoned spice. The
standard organism used was S. aureus ATCC 6538. The cold and hot water
extracts of the fresh and dried leaves of both plants showed no effectiveness against the isolates. The ethanolic extracts of fresh Lemon
grass leaves showed no effectiveness against S. aureus. However, fresh
Banana leaf extracts at 100mg/ml produced inhibition zones of 22mm and
26 mm against S. aureus ATCC 6538 and the test S. aureus respectively.
The dried Lemon grass leaf extract at 100mg/ml, produced inhibition zone
diameters of 13mm and 14mm against the typed S. aureus strain and the test S. aureus respectively while at 50mg/ml, it produced an inhibition zone of 11mg/ml against S. aureus ATCC 6538 only. This study established the
efficacy of fresh and dried ethanolic leaf extracts of Banana and Lemon
grass respectively against S. aureus. The extracts of these plants should be
further analyzed to isolate the specific phytochemicals responsible for
their antibacterial properties. This research and eventual commercialization of the bioactive agents will be an added arsenal in the treatment of staphylococcal food infection and poisoning.

ABSTRACT


Newcastle disease (ND) possess a serious threat to the poultry industry
as it has economy and ecological impact on pet, free living as well as
domestic birds. The aim of the effects of some antioxidants and M.
balsamina on antibody production in broilers challenged with ND Kudu II3
virus. Two hundred day-old broilers were procured from a hatchery in
Ibadan. The chicks were brooded for 4weeks then divided into 8 groups
of 20 chicks each. Each group was housed in a pen on deep litter system
with a floor space of 1.14 cm2. Birds in GI were housed outside the faculty.
All the experimental groups except group 1 were challenged with NDV
Kudu II3 virus strain and that group I was given 2 L of distilled water at
5 weeks of age. Birds in group 2 were challenged with NDV and not treated
with any antioxidant but given 2 L of water at 5 weeks of age. Birds in
group 3 were administered vitamin C (600 mg tablets in 2 L of water orally.
Birds in group 4 were treated with Vitamin E (400 mg/2 L IU soft gel
Capsules orally and challenged. Birds in group 5 were treated with
selenium-vitamin E (1 ml/ 2 L) of water orally. Birds in group 6 were
treated with ethanol extract of M. balsamina leaves (400 mg/ 2 L) of
water orally. Birds in group 7 were administered ethanol extract of M.
balsamina roots (200 mg/ 2 L) of water orally and birds in group 8 were
2 | IJMSAB Effects of Ethanol Extract of Momordica Balsamina and some Antioxidants on Antibody Production in Broilers Challenge with a Virulent Newcastle Disease Virus administered ethanol extract of M. balsamina leaves (400 mg + Vitamin C 600 mg) in 2 L of water orally. The birds were bled for whole blood and serum weekly at 3,4,5,6 and 7 weeks of age. The mean haemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibody titres at week 6 were 0.8 log2 4.5 log2 6.8 log2 for groups 1, 2 and 4, respectively. The mean enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assay antibody titres at week 6 were 3.5, 3.7 and 3.8 for groups 1, 2 and 8, respectively. In conclusion, ethanol extract of M. balsamina has no site effect even when administered at high doses of up to 5,000 mg per bird. Ethanol extract of the roots of M. balsamina has ameliorative effect against NDV by reducing mortality rate. Vitamin C also had ameliorative properties against NDV by reducing the pathology induced, and reduced mortality rate. Combining vitamin C (synergistically) with ethanol extract of M. balsamina leaves was recommended for treatment of ND.

ABSTRACT


These studies evaluate the effects of steel fibres from waste tyres to determine the workability, compressive and flexural strength of concrete. Steel fibres were gotten from waste tyres by burning and cut into a length of 60mm, sand was used as fine aggregate while granite was used as coarse aggregate. Dangote cement was used as binder, mixed with portable water. The steel fibres were sectioned into different percentage which are 0%,0.2%,0.4%,0.6%,0.8%,1.0% by total volume of concrete in this study the shape of specimen used for compressive strength was cube by size 100
x100 x100mm while for flexural strength a rectangular beam of size 100 x 100 x 400mm was used. the mix ratio was by weight 1:1.5:3 using grade M20 concrete and 0.4 water/cement ratio a total of 54 samples were casted and cured for both compressive and flexural for 7, 21,28 days before testing. The result showed that there was an increase in the compressive and flexural strength at 7, 21,28days for both 0.2% and 0.4% with a value greater than the control value before three was a gradual decrease in the strength of the SFRC due lot of steel fibres present in the concrete as the percentage increases The result gotten from the slump cone test shows that there was a gradual decrease in the workability of concrete as the percentage of fibre increases Keywords Effect, Steel Fiber, Waste Tyres Compr, Compressive, Flexural Strength, Workability and Concrete

ABSTRACT


The study investigated the relationship between school facilities and students’ academic performance in Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area Senior Secondary Schools, Lagos State. The study used a survey research design with a total population of 445 teachers and principals from the eighteen (18) senior public secondary schools as documented by Lagos State School Censor Reports (2021). The Krejcie and Morgan sampling techniques were used to select fifteen (15) Senior Secondary Schools for the study, with a sample size of 196.A questionnaire with a 4-point likert scale was used to collect data for this study to gather information from teachers and
principals about students’ academic performance. The researcher created a pro-forma to generate students’ academic results in SSCE (WAEC) from the principals between 2013/2014 and 2017/2018 academic years. Crombach Alpha reliability was used, and the coefficient was 0.912, which is very good. The method of data analysis used was descriptive and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Statistics to test the research hypotheses. The hypotheses formulated were tested at a 5% level of significance. The study revealed that the levels of school facilities and students’ academic performance were relatively high during the period under investigation. The study also revealed that library and laboratory facilities were positively significant to students’ academic performance. Based on these findings, it was therefore recommended that government should continue to lay more emphasis on school facilities particularly in the areas of the school building and laboratory equipment to improve students’ academic performance.
