This paper investigates whether public and private corporations in the energy sector can influence the economic growth of their respective countries. A Panel data analysis was performed by employing quarterly data from (2006-2013). We also used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach to measure the technical efficiency (TE) effect of the alliance on the performance of both companies from 1999 to 2012. It was found the exploration and export of oil and gas do not play a significant role in output growth of the home economy and that exploration activities were inflationary, destabilising and inimical to growth, at least in the short-run. On another positive side, both companies showed increased technical efficiencies in the chosen time period. Petrobras enjoyed TE on average o...

Hence, this study attempts to look into the handicrafts made by Malaysian aborigines called the Mah Meri. Through visual assessment on the aboriginal handicrafts which are being displayed at two tourist centers, it has been discovered that majority of the handicrafts are poorly packed and labeled. We argue that improper packaging design will dissuade tourist from making purchasing decision. In order to improve this situation, we believe that the packaging design of the aboriginal handicrafts should adopt the VIEW model that includes visibility, information, emotional appeal and workability. This study will also include visual analysis (observation) on packaging design from other countries to learn how they perform in regards to visual perception. The selected handicrafts packaging design concept are extracted for the implementation on the Peninsular Malaysia Aboriginal's packaging design. It is hoped that this study will improve packaging design of Mah Meri handicrafts thus promote Malaysia to the outside world.

The compound decreases triglyceride, cholesterol and VLDL. Considering these findings, it appears therefore, that L- carnitine supplementation might help in reduction of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Because, carnitine level ablated in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. However, regarding processed meat intake, posed association with coronary heart diseases and diabetes mellitus which is attributed to L- carnitine present in meat. The present review evaluates findings of the different studies carried out so far and resolves the confliction about L- carnitine of red meat origin and risk of cardiovascular (CVD) diseases. Red meat could provide other substances to the gut microbes which then activates mTOR1C and suppresses PPAR-α. This effect may be responsible for risk of CVD. It is therefore, imperative to...

The data of this study was collected from survey to chief financial officers, or controllers or accounting managers from manufacturing companies listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange. 477 questionnaires were distributed and 115 questionnaires were returned, only 108 respondents used in data analysis. This study used Structural Equation Model (SEM) and used AMOS 19 program software. The findings from this study showed that the relationship between intensity of competition; advanced manufacturing technology and organizational performance have positive relationship and significance. However, the relationship between intensity of competition and organizational performance was not significance.

Lycopene is an important carotenoid found in tomatoes that has recently received attention for its potential role in preventing various degenerative diseases in humans. Tomatoes are used in many processed items like tomato and spaghetti sauce, tomato soup, ketchup, and tomato paste. This review summarizes the background information about tomato composition, lycopene health benefits and effect of processing on the various attributes of tomato products.

A retrospective descriptive case series study. All NHLs (nodal and extra nodal) diagnosed between January 1991-December 2001 in the section of Histopathology, Department of Pathology, The Aga Khan University, Karachi were retrieved by using SNOMED coding system. Cases were reviewed and those presenting with skin involvement were selected. Further characterization of these tumours was done by morphology and Immunohistochemistry. Panel of antibodies included leukocyte common antigen (CD45), Pan B markers (CD20 and CD 79a), Pan T markers(UCHL1), Ki-1(CD30) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). The total number of NHLs (nodal and extra nodal) diagnosed in our department during the study period of 10 years were 1610. Out of these, 133 cases (...

Things moved to more gravity when the bulkiest of the systems like Defense architectures came into picture, with the advent of this not of the efficiency but also the factors like stability, reliability, resource utilization were also of pivotal importance. This paper reviews a critical and comparative analysis of the current ESB's keeping in view the C4I System as a base, so as to ascertain which ESB fulfills the requirements of the system of systems. In comparison we try to analyze Mule ESB, GlassFish ESB and Fuse ESB with respect to interoperability. This study demonstrates that Mule is more feasible to C4I systems because it is simple, easy to integrate, no adopter requirement and flexible.
