This study was conducted on one hundred freshly laid eggs from Japanese quails with the purpose of predicting quail egg weight (EW) from some internal and external egg components, and also to have accurate and reliable models, for the prediction of egg weight without the use of sensitive scale. The following external (egg weight, egg width, egg length, shell thickness) and internal (yolk width, yolk length, albumen height and haugh unit) components were measured and the level of relationships between them were determined. Descriptive statistics for egg weight, egg length, egg width, albumen height, yolk height, yolk width, shell thickness and haugh unit were 9.13g, 2.97cm, 2.33cm, 0.57cm, 1.14cm, 2.18cm, 0.13mm and 57.58, respectively. Intercept and slope of regression between variables were determined. Generated values were used in multiple, double and simple linear regression equations, respectively. A total of ten prediction equations comprising three multiple, six double and nine simple linear resulted from the data generated. All the equations developed can be used in egg type quail operations. Each prediction equation with egg weight as the dependent variable will assist poultry breeders and farmers in particular in determining the precise egg weight of eggs laid by birds on the farm.

Two 280-day trials, each involving 468, 22-week-old caged commercial egg-strain pullets were conducted to Compare millet and sorghum grain as the main source of energy in laying diets. Diets containing 59.2 and 0, 41.0 and 24.0, 31.2 and 36.3 and 0 and 72.5% of sorghum grain and pearl millet, respectively, were studied in both trials The diets containing millet supported egg production, egg weight, feed conversion and egg shell thickness equivalent to those of the all-sorghum diet. Except in Trial 1, feed consumption of the pullets fed the millet-containing   diets was not significantly lower than that of the pullets fed the all-sorghum diet. Haugh unit values tended to decrease as the level of millet was decreased. Feeding millet at a level as high as 72.5% Of the diet may have adverse effects on egg specific gravity and haugh units

This study aims to determine the effect of the activity of using social media on the ability of college students to reading comprehension. This type of research is quantitative with a correlational method. The sample in this study was taken with simple random sampling. PBSI FKIP UHAMKA active students approximately 600 students who if taken a sample of 25% at random, would choose 150 students. Data collection techniques using questionnaires and reading tests, while data analysis using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression equations. The results of this study indicate that the intensity of the use of social media in the percentage of students is 45% moderate, 25% low, 25% high, and 7% very high, obtained the regression equation . These findings indicate that the more activity on social media, the lower the level of reading comprehension although not significantly.

The prediction of chicks? weight before hatching is an important element of selection, aimed at improving the uniformity rate and productivity of birds. With this regards, our goal was to develop and evaluate optimum models for similar prediction in two White Plymouth Rock chickens lines - line L and line K on the basis of the incubation egg weight and egg geometry characteristics - egg maximum breadth (B), egg length (L), geometric mean diameter (Dg), egg volume (V), egg surface area (S). A total of 280 eggs (140 from each line) laid by 40-weekold hens were randomly selected. Mean arithmetic values, standard deviations and coefficients of variation of studied parameters were determined for each line. Correlation coefficients between the weight of hatchlings and predictors were the highest for egg weight, geometric mean diameter, volume and surface area of eggs (r=0.731-0.779 for line L; r=0.802-0.819 for line ?). Nine linear regression models were developed and their accuracy evaluated. The regression equations of hatchlings? weight vs egg length had the lowest coefficient of determination (0.175 for line K and 0.291 for line L), but when egg length and breadth entered the model together, its value increased significantly up to 0.541 and 0.665 for lines L and K, respectively. The weight of day-old chicks from line L could be predicted with higher accuracy with a model involving egg surface area apart egg weight (ChW=0.513EW+0.282S - 10.345; R2=0.620). In line ? a more accurate prognosis was attained by adding egg breadth as an additional predictor to the weight in the model (ChW=0.587EW+0.566? - 19.853; R2=0.692). The study demonstrated that multiple linear regression models were more precise that single linear models.

This study on employees’ participation on decision making and employees’ productivity was elicited to determine the extent to which employee participation in developing the mission statement, employee participate in policies and procedure formulation, and employees’ participation in the bonus/benefit determination enhance employees’ productivity. A total of 3901 populations were studied and 363 sample sizes was used to determine the effect of employees’ participation in decision making on employees’ productivity in Ebonyi state. The survey method was adopted; questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics and Simple linear regression model was used. The findings show that there is a significant positive relationship between employees’ participation in decision making and employees’ productivity. The study, therefore, recommends among others that the management of the institutions especially academic institutions should continue to allow employees to participate in the decision-making process for increasing productivity.

Abstract. This study aims to determine the effect of topography and age of different breeds of chickens on egg weight and haugh unit. The study was conducted in August 2018, data collection was taken from Amparita Village, Tellu Limpoe District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency, Mario Village Kulo District, Sidenreng Rappang District and Kaluppang Village, Maiwa District, Enrekang District. The study used 135 eggs as eggs. The study used a Factorial Randomized Block Design with three stages of treatment and three repetitions, namely Factor A (Age of chicken 30 weeks, age of chicken 50 weeks, and age of chicken 70 weeks) then Factor B (Topography of lowland, medium and high). The treatment of topographic influence and age of laying chicken showed that the age of different chickens had no significant effect (P> 0.05) on eggshell thickness while the topography greatly affected eggshell thickness (P <0.01). Different age of race chicken has significant effect (P <0.05) on egg pH, and different topography has very significant effect (P <0.01) on egg ph.Keywords:                    Laying Chicken, Topography, Chicken Age, Shell Thickness and Egg pH
