Fournier’s gangrene of the penis: A rare case report and review of the literature
Fournier's gangrene is a rare, fulminant, usually a localized disease of the external genitalia, anorectal and perineal region, with an occasional extension up to the abdominal wall. Mainly associated with men and those over the age of 50, Fournier’s gangrene has been shown to have a predilection for patients with diabetes as well as people who are long-term alcohol misusers. The usual organism is an anaerobic streptococcus synergistic with other organisms. Although considerable progress has been made in the treatment of this disease, it remains a serious and debilitating condition with a high mortality rate. Early therapy is the key, including hospitalization, debridement of the entire shaft of the penis distal to the devastated area, without excising the normal skin, parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotics, and skin grafting. We here-in present two clinical cases of Fournier’s gangrene of the external genitalia. Our case was unusual in that only the penis was involved, which is very rare.

Geophysical Investigations of Nekede Mechanic Village Gully,Owerri, Nigeria
This paper investigates the possibility of expansion of Nekede Mechanic-Village gully located in Imo State Nigeria using two Resistivity Survey methods (VES and ARS). The gully site is located on longitude 7o 2’ 6”E and latitude 5o 27’ 46”N. The analysis of the VES measurements showed that VES 3 and 4 are structurally week and susceptible to erosion due to their thick sand layers in their top sections while ARS measurements and analysis showed possibility of fractures and or major cracks in the NE – SW axis rooted to the depth of about 30m.These factors endangers the structural stability of the NE-SW region with reference to the ARS point and adjoining the VES 3 and 4 areas.

Good Market Efficiency Panel Vector Error Correction Effects Analyses in Global Competitiveness Index on Asian Countries Economic Success
Global competitiveness as a platform for economic success and access to higher levels of welfare and standards of living, has found a lot of importance among policymakers. Today, all developed or developing countries emphasize the importance of efficiency and productivity as one of the necessities of economic development and gaining competitive advantage in the international arena, because in the present world, competition in other world scenes has other dimensions and trying to achieve higher levels of efficiency and productivity is one of the main pillars of the competition. The purpose of this study is to analyze effects of good market efficiency as an important component of the Global Competitiveness Index on Asian countries economic success in the form of a Panel Vector Error Correction Model (PVECM) over the period 2008-2016. The results of this study indicated that: The positive shock of trade and technology (trade and technology improvement), in the short run, have little impact and in the medium and long run have positive impact on the good market efficiency. But the positive shock of investment (increase in investment), in the short run, has little impact and in the medium and long run, has a negative impact on the good market efficiency. In this model, the positive shock in good market efficiency (improving the good market efficiency) in the short, medium and long run, has a positive impact on the economic growth rate and has a negative effect on the unemployment rate. The most important factor influencing the good market efficiency is investment, which this variable has the most important effects on the good market efficiency in the medium and long run.

Growth and Productivity as Influenced by Nutrient Management Practices on Pigeon Pea [Cajanus Cajan (l.) Millsp.] in Upland Alfisols of Tripura
Pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is the rich sources of dietary protein, carbohydrate & certain minerals but its poor yield needs to formulate a nutrient management practices for higher productivity in upland alfisols of Tripura and to combat it, an experiment was conducted during three consecutive kharif seasons at College of Agriculture, Lembucherra, Tripura comprising of two levels of Lime (150 and 200 kg ha-1) in main plot and two levels of molybdenum seed treatment (0 and 4g kg-1 of seed) in sub plot and 4 levels of recommended doses, viz 0% of RDF ha-1, 50% of RDF ha-1, 75% of RDF ha-1 and 100% of RDF ha-1 (Recommended dose @ 20:60:40 of NPK). It was revealed that by the use of 100% RDF ha-1 with 150 kg ha-1 lime and 4g kg-1 of molybdenum seed treatment leads to higher yield and return per rupee respectively. But by the use of 100% RDF ha-1 with 200 kg ha-1 lime and 4g kg-1 of molybdenum seed treatment, return per rupee was recorded at 2.98. The investigation reflects that by the use of 75% RDF ha-1 return per rupee (3.78) was less compared to 100% RDF ha-1 but significant with saving the cost of 25% RDF ha-1 and soil health from the excessive use of fertilizer for sustaining the agricultural growth.

This paper seeks to highlight the place of tourism in employment generation together with a succinct outline of tourism institutional evolution in the Nigerian context. There are so many natural endowments that are yet to be harnessed in full capacity and requiring attention (of the tourism industry) for maximum exploitation and benefits which, no doubt, will increase the economic fortune of the country. The inability to transform our beautiful natural features, land marks, historical sites and cultural heritage sites into tourism assets has been a major concern to stakeholders. This Paper contends that our rich cultural heritage and natural endowments remain as treasure mines to be developed for maximum national benefits especially if the tourism sector is developed.

Identification of rheumatoid factors in sjogren’s syndrome and computational study on domain prediction
We have observed that the Immunoglobulin domain (IGv) is mainly present in all those sequences. These observations also suggests that the predicted values of IGv domain is predominantly present in all those sequences and slightly IGc1 domain and IG like domain is also present. On the basis of lower E-value IGv domain is highly conserved in the sequence, from position 17 to 98, and IGc1 domain from 147 to 220.Each sequence has consist of varied composition of CCP (Complementary control proteins), EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), EGFCA, VWA (Von Wille Brand type A domain), IG, IGc2, TSP1, TROVE, Calireticulin family, RING domain, BBOX, PRY, SPRY with different E-value. Finally, We have concluded that on the basis of lower E-value vWFA(97-214), TROVE(18-369), IGc(183-273), SPRY(86-220), La(13-48), MHC Class I An alpha 1, 2 (1-178) these listed domains are highly conserved.
