This study investigated the impact of industrial section performance on economic growth in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the impact of manufacturing sector output, mining and quarrying sector output, utility sector output and construction sector output on economic growth proxied by per capital real gross domestic product in Nigeria. Phillips-Perron unit root test, Johansen cointegration test and error correction mechanism (ECM) were applied on annual time-series data for the period 1981 to 2019. The findings indicated a long-run relationship between industrial sector performance and economic growth. The estimated long-run regression result showed that manufacturing, and mining and quarrying subsectors make significant contribution to economic growth while utility and construction subsectors have insignificant positive impact on economic growth in Nigeria. The short-run (ECM) regression result showed that the outputs of the manufacturing, mining and quarrying, construction and utility sectors all have insignificant positive impact on economic growth. Among other things, it is recommended that there should be a general improvement in the productive capacity of the industrial sector to enhance its contribution to economic growth.

Lasers have been widely used in most fields of dentistry for many years, and they have recently gained popularity in orthodontics. Its use has allowed orthodontists to overcome some of the difficulties associated with traditional orthodontic treatment procedures. These include direct chair side clinical orthodontic procedures, adjunctive orthodontic and laboratory procedures. This review article is about the applications of lasers in field of orthodontics.

Rhododendron arboreum subsp. zeylanicum is an endemic woody plant found in Sri Lanka. Although it is a vulnerable plant and has ornamental value. Rhododendron species naturally grow from seeds and regeneration rate is low. The vegetative propagation of most woody rhododendrons is slow. The investigation of seed germination is important for the conservation of this species. The first experiment was carried out to study the effect of growing media (Unsterilized native soil, native soil: coir dust (1:1), native soil: leaf mould (1:1), coir dust: sand (1:1), native soil: sand (1:1), and clay soil) and to compare the impact on two geographical locations (Peradeniya and Hakgala) for in vivo seed germination. The second experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different culture media (Anderson (ADW), autoclaved distilled water + agar, ½ strength Murashige and Skoog (MS), and full-strength MS) with two different sterilization methods (15% Clorox with few drops of Teepol for 15 minutes and 20% Clorox with few drops of Teepol for 10 minutes) on in vitro seed germination. The germination percentage was significantly affected by the location and growing media. The highest germination percentage was recorded in coir dust: sand medium (1:1). Hakgala is better than Peradeniya for in vivo seed germination. In the in vitro seed germination, the lowest germination and the highest contamination percentages were recorded in the full-strength MS medium. The highest root length was recorded in the seeds treated with ADW + agar. And the highest plant height was recorded in the seeds treated in ADW + agar with 20% Clorox and few drops of Teepol for 10 minutes.

Buccal shelf area of mandible is a recent addition to temporary anchorage device proposed by John Jin-Jong Lin and Chris Chang, in 2010.Anatomically Buccal shelf is located bilaterally in the posterior part of the mandibular body, buccal to the roots of the first and second molars and anterior to the oblique line of the mandibular ramus and is a very safe site for extra radicular temporary anchorage devices because of increased cortical bone thickness and density. There is a positive association between primary stability of implant and cortical bone thickness. CBCT helps to quantify the skeletal anatomy of the buccal shelf, placement angle of the TADs, and amount of cortical bone engagement at the TAD interface.

Today, the competitive markets are full of similar products and goods which sometimes do not have any physical differences also. Therefore, there is a need for the companies to develop a specific feature which makes their brand distinguishable from the commonly available products in the same category. Research problem observed was to have the conceptual verification for promotion mix impact on creation of brand loyalty in the specific case of KOTON brand. The research has adopted the quantitative research method where the design of research is descriptive. Simple random sampling technique of probability sampling is applied for choosing respondents with sample size of 216 respondents. A survey instrument has been adopted to collect the data which comprises of two sections; the first section is of demographic information (Gender, Age, Marital Status, Level of Education and Family Income). The second section is related to Sales Promotion activities (Advertising: Item 1 - Item 4; Sales Promotion: Item 5 - Item 8; Public Relation: Item 9 - Item 12, and Personal Selling: Item 13 – Item 16) and Brand Loyalty consisting of Item 17 - Item 21. The scope of the study is well defined where conceptual scope is promotion mix and brand loyalty, industrial scope chosen is KOTON brand, and the geographic scope is taken as the Kurdistan region for the present study. Data analysis performed using SPSS 24 for statistical tests includes Percentage, Frequency, One sample T-test, Correlation and Regression. Research problem got the solution fulfilling research objectives formulated as the Brand Loyalty of consumers towards KOTON brand. Promotion Mix has shown the highest effect (B) on Brand Loyalty with .472, and the correlation is (Beta) .275. The four variables tested with respect to Brand Loyalty and they justified that Personal Selling has the highest B value (.451) and Beta .315. Public Relation is the second important variable followed by Advertising with a comparatively lower B....
