Index Factors for Assessing the Scientific Journal Validity, It's Articles and Their Authors

The transition from the 20th to the 21st century was one of the most dynamic periods in the history of science and scientific journals. Numerous articles are almost entirely prepared in electronic form, so the creation of many databases with full texts become relatively easy problem to solve. A large number of the journals appeared in form of open access in electronic form available for end users - readers. But often the question raises about the value of these scientific journals with journals that are still available and already present on a commercial basis. In particular, this applies to journals within medicine, where reliability and quality, or the credibility of the information itself is of great importance for science itself.

Profiling of High Risk Profiles of Clients in Order to Prevent Money Laundering and Terrorism

Money laundering is not only a process that is associated with the functioning of criminal organizations, but it is an indicator of their success. Moreover,money laundering, providing a steady stream of capital that allows criminal organizations to buy protection through the corruption of government officials and members of law enforcement. 

How it makes money laundering attractive target for law enforcement agencies, even more criminal organizations are becoming more energetic and bring even more innovations in the provision of transformation of their illegal initiatives into usable assets. The result is that money laundering is one of the most important links between the criminal world and the legitimate society. Money laundering is one of the ways in which criminal organizations wish to penetrate into the legal economy and often involve seemingly respectable members of society (bankers, lawyers, etc.). Admission of money laundering to flourish undisturbed will have corrosive impact on the integrity of financial institutions.

Evaluation of Quality Protein Maize (Zea mays L) Hybrids at Jimma, Western-Ethiopia

Maize is an important food crop in Ethiopia. But its nutritional quality is poor as its seed protein is devoid of two essential amino acids (lysine and tryptophan). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of Quality Protein Maize (QPM) hybrids developed by CIMMYT. Forty three QPM hybrids and 2 checks were tested using 5X9 alpha lattice design with two replications. 

Data were subjected to ANOVA using SAS version 9.2. The ANOVA revealed very highly significant differences among the genotypes (p<0.001), for 50% tasseling, ear height, plant count and grain yield. High phenotypic variances were observed for ear height, number of rows/ear, numberof grains/row and grain yield. The phenotypic coefficient of variation and genotypic coefficient of variation were high for ear height, plant count, number of rows/ear, number of grains/row and grain yield. The maximum (0.91) and minimum (0.23) broad sense heritability’s were recorded for number of rows/ear and days to 50% tasseling respectively.
