In recent years the natural supply of phenolic substances has been greatly increased due to the release of industrial byproducts into the environment. Phenol is one of the most widely used in the organic compounds in existence and is a basic structural unit for a variety of synthetic organic compounds including agricultural chemicals and pesticides. Among all the toxic compounds, phenol and its substituent phenolic compounds contribute a remarkable adverse impact to the environment. These are major xenobiotics, which are often found in the effluents discharged from the industries such as paper and pulp, textiles, gas and coke, fertilizers, The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, 1979) had classified the phenolic compounds as high priority pollutants due to their extensive impact on the deterioration of the water environment. In this review paper, we described about plant phenolic compounds, phenolic effects of human exposures, animal exposures, effect on children, reducing the risk of exposure and medical tests to determine concentration of phenol. Key Words: Phenol, Environment, plant phenolic compounds, Human Exposures, Animal Exposures and medical tests.

The urinary bilharziasis are parasitic affections whose pathogenic agent is Schistosoma. Only the urogenital schistosomiasis due to the species S. haematobium exists in Morocco. The testicular sites of bilharziomas are rare. We report an interesting case of epididymal bilharziasis in a young man with only apparently benign nodules of the testes on imaging.

The professional ethics of accountants is an important issue directly relating to the integrity of the profession and its ability to secure the public trust. A job that is proper for the ethics is the job that is done by showing the necessary attention in the best way.Businesses as the institutions operating in certain environmental conditions are affected not only by their environments in the decisions that they give; they also affect their environments by their decisions and actions. Businesses? understanding the impact of their actions on society and taking these effects into consideration while taking decision and applying to them are related to the sense of social responsibility.This study aims to analyze the concept of Principles, approaches and Ethical standards in the accounting profession and how these Ethical standards are formed. Ethical accounting requires the application of moral principles, ethical practices and ethical standards. So learn and develop the basic concepts of ethics in the accounting profession is an essential first step.

In drilling mud formulation, evaluating the mud cuttings carrying capacity provides the means of establishing its wellbore hole cleaning potential. Thus, a synthetic-based mud was formulated from derived ester and evaluated for its mud weight and rheological properties: plastic viscosity and yield point. A two level-three factors (23) full factorial design was performed to evaluate the cuttings carrying index (CCI) of the formulated synthetic-based mud. This offers the privilege of assessing the combined effect of these factors: plastic viscosity, yield point and mud weight on the cuttings carrying capacity of the mud. The factors’ levels (low and high) from the formulated mud properties measurement were 6 and 17cp, 10 and 13lb/100ft2, and 8.63 and 9.50lb/gal for plastic viscosity, yield point and mud weight respectively. Thus, the experimental design results obtained, resulted ingood cuttings carrying capacity (adequate hole cleaning) as the obtained CCI values were above 0.5. Additionally, the results further revealed main effect from the formulated mud’s rheological properties and mud weight on its cuttings carrying capacity. Furthermore, the experimental design result depicted that there was interaction effect between the rheological properties, whilst there was no interaction effect between the rheological properties and the mud weight at the considered factors’ level. Therefore, a potential synthetic-based mud with adequate wellbore hole cleaning capacity could be formulated at the considered mud properties.

Now a day’s various types of organophosphate compound are being utilised by farmers in massive amount to increase the productivity of crops by destroying the insecticides. Profenofos is one of the organophosphate which is widely used by the farmers. It is largely known to cause toxicity in various organs, such as the liver and brain. So, to evaluate the effect of Profenofos, experiment was designed on Swiss albino model. So, the present study aims to observe the effect of Cuminum cyminum (Cumin) and Coriandrum sativum (Coriander) on kidney exposed with Profenofos on female swiss albino mice. The parameters utilized for the study were through biochemical analysis. The impact of herbal plants Cumin and Coriander were observed on the Profenofos induced nephrotoxicity. The study shows Cumin was more effective in normalizing the Uric acid level rather than Coriander, while the coriander is more effective in normalizing the creatinine level than Cumin. Thus, the study shows better cytoprotection to kidney in Profenofos induced nephrotoxicity in Swiss albino mice.

The rapidly growing and changing food demands by urban dwellers has resulted in the need for cheaper and convenience foods. Street vended foods have shown epidemiological links with illness. Concerns have also been raised about these foods with respect to their potential for food poisoning outbreaks. The study sought to assess aspects of hygiene practices such as food preparation area, environment of food vendors, personal hygiene, handling and storage of food. A standardized questionnaire was used to collect data on the current status of food hygiene and sanitation practiced by street food vendors in Accra. Results indicated that out of the 50 respondents, 66% were in the age range of 26 to 30 years, of which 76% were females. Most of the vendors (54%) were senior high school graduates. Majority (76%) of the respondents were stationary vendors. Of the total respondents interviewed, 36% have not had any form of formal training in catering, 64% of the vendors prepare food at home and send to the premises to be sold, and 80% of the surroundings were clean. Fifty-eight percent (58%) dispose of refuse twice daily. Most of the respondents (86%) had short and clean nails. Forty percent (40%) of the vendors serve the food in polyethylene bags. Unsold food is stored by 56% of the respondents for sale the next day. Reheating (50%) and refrigeration (44%) are methods used by respondents to preserve unsold food. A large number (70%) of the vendors use sachet water to serve their customers as a source of drinking water. This study indicates that majority of food vendors in Accra exhibited good food hygiene practices. However there is a need for the vendors to be given regular education on hygienic practices to avoid food contamination and food poisoning.

Nowadays museums and historical places are taken into account as of the attractive places for tourisms. In between and besides attracting customers for these centers preserving and customers loyalty are at the high importance. In this practical research, the researcher has attempted to investigate the relationship between the perceived investments with customer’s commitment.

After collecting the questionnaires, the hypothesis of the research is tested by LISREL and SPSS software. The obtained results of the research’s hypothesis, show that generally the perceived relational investment has a positive and meaningful relation with the 3 variations, commitment, knowledge and relationship value. (Knowledge and relation value are known as the mediator variation of the perceived relation investment and commitment .And commitment also has positive and meaningful relation with knowledge and relation with knowledge and relation value.

Product-harm crises can seriously impact the viability of a company. By considering the factors that affect the outcome of a crisis, organizations could manage crisis situations to minimize negative consequences. The purpose of research was twofold: (1) examining the impact of company's response strategies (i.e., denial, involuntary product recall, voluntary product recall and supper effort) on customer's perception of danger (2) examining the effect of Customer's perception of danger on repurchase intention for Iran's airline industry. Data obtained from 500 survey questionnaire were analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM). The results revealed that Denial has a significantly negative effect on Customer's perception of danger. Involuntary product recall has a significantly negative effect on Customer's perception of danger. Voluntary product recall has a significantly positive effect on Customer's perception of danger. Supper effort has a significantly positive effect on Customer's perception of danger. Customer's perception of danger has a significantly positive effect on Repurchase intentions. In addition results show that Denial was the best negative predictor of their Customer's perception of danger and Supper effort was the best positive predictor of Customer's perception of danger.

In recent decades, the rate of new product development increased due to the burst of competition between organizations in developing new products, services and new markets. In such a competitive condition, the main challenge of organizations is to develop new products according to the goals of the organization and needs of customers. Therefore, this study tries to propose success factors in new product development for food industry based on a model developed using a mixed method. The preliminary model is proposed by reviewing related literature in innovation management and product development and also using semi-structured interviews with executive managers of food industry. Then using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the validity of the model and final scales were analyzed. The results show that Strategic Thinking (ST), , Product Features (PF), Skills and Abilities (SA), Internal and External Team Involvement (TI), Supply Chain Ability(SC), Development Process(DP) have a correlation with the success of new product development in food industries of Iran. Among these dimensions, market characteristic (MC) has the highest importance and after that Skills and Abilities (SA), Internal and External Team Involvement (TI) got the other ranks respectively.
