The aim of the present study is to categorize the various aspects of risks management practices in the Indian banking sector. Exploratory cum descriptive research design utilized for the study. Self-structured questionnaire has been used to collect primary data from employees of banking sector. Total 150 employees were approached for present study. In this research, exploratory factor analysis was employed on a 34-item measurement scale of Risk Management Practices in order to extract the latent sub-scales in the form of factors. The principal component analysis with varimax rotation on SPSS on thirty-four items culminated into extraction of six major factors or sub-scales of Risk Management Practices. The six key factors of Risk Management Practicesare named as follows: Risk Monitoring (RM), Risk Assessment and Analysis (RAA), Credit Risk Analysis (CRA), Understanding Risk (UR), Operational Risk Analysis (ORA) and Risk Identification (RI).During exploratory factor analysis, no serious cross-loadings were observed by the researchers.

Housing is one of the most essential human needs for living in this world even before food. The construction industry is the provider of physical infrastructure essential for human sustenance and economic development. Over the years, Nigeria has been experiencing collapse of multi-story buildings. To analyze the safety and failure tracing in high rise building collapse in selected states of Nigeria, extant literatures was reviewed. A self-developed structured checklist questionnaire was randomly distributed to a population of four hundred (400), of which three hundred and eight four (384) successful responses were retrieved from nine (9) construction companies across Abuja, Lagos State, Rivers State and Enugu for analysis. Data collated was analyzed with basic descriptive statistics tools. The result reveals that the frequency of building collapse in Nigeria is at an alarming rate and the impact is moderately major. The identified major causes of building collapse were Design/Engineering faults 8.6%, lack of compliance with an approved design specification 3.9%, compromise with materials specification 22.4%, combination of design/Engineering faults, lack of compliance with approved design specification and compromise with materials specification accounts for 64.3% represented 247 out of 384 of the population studied. While 0.8% represented 3 out of 384 of the population studied stated that lack of compliance with an approved design specification and compromise with materials specification accounts for building collapse. The study also established major contributors to building collapse as: Client/developers 12.2%, approval authority /agency 25.35%, building control agency 37.25%, and Ministry of Environment control team 25.3 % respectively represented the 384-population studied. A fishbone analysis diagram formulated. This study recommends implementation of regulatory framework, improve risk assessment and management, adoption of proven technology, joint professional monitoring and assessment process for building construction incident prevention.

The desire of the present study is an excursion into the characteristic features and function of the Samor intransitive verb phrase. The Samor speakers are a group of inhabitants living in Baringo County. The reason for studying Samor which is a dialect of Tugen is because this dialect has not received much attention in documented previous research. Languages and d their subsequent dialects have varying features that distinguish them from other languages of the world. In previous analysis of world languages and dialects, findings indicate that a language maybe verb second or verb initial. In addition, a language may also agglutinate phi- features in the verb, fuse the features or isolate such features. The current research hopes to find out how Samor which differs from other conventional languages analyzes the intransitive verb and also seek to understand the function of the transitive verb in Samor. The objectives of the study were achieved by analyzing ten (10) select utterances in Samor that were used to understand the intransitive verb and its functions in sentential constructions. The present study was carried out in Baringo County which is highlighted in yellow in the map of Kenya as can be seen in figure 1 below, this is a region that is inhabited by the Tugen people. These people can be split into four sub- dialects. They are Samor, Arror, Endorois and Lembus. The current research focused on the Samor which is the main focus of study. 

Background: Thymic epithelial tumors are rare mediastinal tumors with an annual incidence of 0.15 cases per 100.000. The basis of treatment depends on the stage and histological subtype. The aim of our study is to shed light on the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of thymic epithelial tumors.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of a series of thymomas and thymic carcinomas collected over a period of 4 years from January 2019 to December 2022, involving 35 cases of thymic epithelial tumors (TET) listed and managed within: Medical Oncology Department, National Institute of Oncology (INO), Rabat; Thoracic Surgery Department, Ibn Sina University Hospital, Rabat; Radiotherapy Department, Mohammed V Military Hospital, Rabat.

Results: Thymic epithelial tumors represent an annual incidence of 8.75 cases per year in our department. Of the 35 patients in our series, 16 were male (45.7%) and 19 female (54.3%), giving a sex ratio (M/F) of 0.84. The age of patients on admission ranged from 20 to 72 years, with a median age of 53. The disease was discovered in 10 patients (28.57% of cases) during the etiological workup for myasthenia gravis. (54.28%) had one or more symptoms suggestive of mediastinal involvement.

The predominant histological type in our patients was B2 thymoma (29% of cases) and there was a significant positive correlation between histological type and Masaoka stage. Indeed, invasion according to Masaoka stage was significantly greater in cases of increasingly aggressive histology.

28 cases (80%) in our series underwent surgery and negative resection margins with pathologically confirmed (R0) were achieved in 14 (50%) patients. 6 patients received radiotherapy as an adjuvant to surgical resection. Besides, induction chemotherapy was performed in 10 patients (28.5%), eight of which used triple therapy (CAP): Cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, Cisplatin, and one patient received neoadjuvant CAP-based chemotherapy in the first line, and only one patient received Carboplatin and Paclitaxel regimen.

Conclusion: Thymic tumors are rare mediastinal tumors. Thymomas are mixed epithelial and lymphocytic tumors of complex histological classification, which may be associated with autoimmune manifestations. Pre-therapeutic workup and tumor staging help determine treatment strategy. Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment for resectable thymic tumours and interesting therapeutic possibilities are ongoing particularly with the advent of targeted therapies and immunotherapy.

Cyclophosphamide (CP) is known to cause hemorrhagic cystitis (HC), and this adverse effect is more commonly seen in patients receiving high doses used in the treatment of several malignancies, on an average long duration. There are a few reported cases of HC in doses used for breast cancer. We report the case of a 52-year-old lady with a recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer who has undergone treatment with low dose CP,   150 mg per day in one shot for 21 days monthly. After two cycles, the patient presented to the hospital with a dysuria and burning sensation during urination. She went on mesna and hydration. She did not develop any further episodes of hematuria. We review the literature pertaining to our case, and also compare the characteristics of the patient in our case with previously described cases of other cancer locations who developed HC with low-dose CP.
