This study aims at assessing the effect of the perceived competence of a country of origin on the perceived quality of cars and jeans trousers in the urban areas of Cameroon. Investigations have been carried out on the field and data have been collected from a sample of 784 consumers, surveyed via the Internet and supplemented by a questionnaire «paper pencil» in the cities of Douala and Yaoundé. The structural equation models to latent variables has been used in this research. The main results clearly show a positive effect of the perceived competence of a given country of origin on the perceived quality of the products by Cameroonian consumers living or coming from urban areas. The effect of a given country of manufacture is also proven to be more significant than that of the country of design. We further noticed an increase of the effect of the country of design on the perceived quality of products when the technological complexity of the products increases. Conversely, a decrease of the effect of the country of manufacture on the perceived quality of the products is recorded when the technological complexity of a product increases. The moderating effect of the technological complexity of a given product is therefore proven.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia. Intakes of vitamin C, Magnesium, Chromium, fiber and physical activity can help normalizing blood glucose level so as to prevent hyperglycemia. The aim of this study is to find out particular relations between vitamin C, Magnesium, Chromium, fiber, as well as physical activity and blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus at Dr. M. Yunus Hospital Bengkulu. This study was cross sectional approach. Sample population is Diabetes Mellitus Type II. Sampling is performed using purposive sampling with 50 samples. Intake data were obtained through 2 x 24 hours food recall form and PAL form. Data were analyzed using correlation regression and multiple linear regression. There were significant correlations between intakes of vitamin C (p = 0.001), Magnesium (p = 0.027), fiber (p = 0.028), physical activity (p = 0.001) and random blood glucose levels in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type II. Conversely, there was no significant correlation between Chromium intake (p=0421) and blood glucose levels in patients with Diabetes Mellitus Type II. The most dominant factors associated with blood glucose level in this study were vitamin C intake and physical activity.
This study carried out on the lagoon near Abobodoumé has the aim to map the fishing areas of the fish. The main question is : what is each fishing area identified by the fishermen ? the results obtained show that the fishermen fish in this locality are all foreigners, Ghanaians, Beninese and Nigerians living in perfect harmony. The fishing areas are in part the result of the techniques of the players, the gear they use and the fishing seasons. But there is also the influence of the anthropogenic pollution, dredge the sea sand and the proximity of the port area. In order to obtain the above-mentioned results, a methodology that consisted of a literature search and on the internet, but also the research of primary data was the need to go out into the field. Specifically, we have, with the help of an interview guide interviewed the actors of the fishery. At times, we have used instruments for measuring gear such as canoes and nets. We also exchanged with the port authorities and agencies in charge of monitoring the water quality.
The vessel monitoring system (VMS) is a satellite-based monitoring system which at regular intervals provides data to the fisheries authorities on the location, course and speed of vessels. It was introduced in Morocco in 2011 to try to end Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing and to meet the requirements of the European Union to set up systems of border control to forbid the access to the markets, of products coming from an illegal fishing and to protect the halieutic resources and the marine ecosystem.
This article aims to evaluate the implementation of VMS Project in Morocco. To achieve this goal, we conducted a qualitative survey around different actors : Shipowners, high executives of the Moroccan Ministry of Maritime Fisheries and the Manager of SOREMAR Company (company that provides installation and maintenance of VMS equipment in Morocco).
This work aims to study the effect of salinity on some germination parameters of wheat Tritcum aestivum L, and to contribute to the improvement programs of varietal selection.
Four varieties of wheat were studied: Amal, Arrehane, Kanz and Radia. The disinfected seeds are germinated in Petri dishes containing two filter papers soaked in NaCl solution at concentrations of 3, 6, 9 and 12 g / l. The amount of 10 seeds is placed per petri dish. For the control dishes, the filter paper was soaked only with distilled water. For each salinity level (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 g / l NaCl), 5 petri dishes are used and are incubated for 7 days in darkness in an oven set at 25 ° C.
The measured parameters chosen in this study are: germination rate, corrected germination, percentage of final germination, average time of germination and germination rate index.
The obtained results have shown a varietal effect depending on salt concentration, thus the exploitation of the studied parameters allowed us to observe a decrease in germination rate, corrected germination, Germination rate index, coefficient of velocity and an increase in the average time of germination. As far as the level of tolerance against the increase of salt concentration is concerned, it can be confirmed that Arréhane is the most tolerant variety while Kanz is the most sensitive one.
The paper, conducted within the framework of the Minimalist Program, considers the nature and content of the subject agreement relation. The discussions are based on data from Amazigh, in particular the Tashelhit variety spoken in the southwest of Morocco. In the suggested analysis, I show that Amazigh exhibits two types of subject agreement, namely subject-verb agreement and operator-bound agreement. In subject-verb agreement constructions, agreement on the verb is rich. I argue that in such constructions agreement is not itself a functional head. Rather, agreement is a relation between a head and its specifier in which features of the head and specifier must match. As such, the verb agrees with its subject in its base position; no movement of the verb or the subject is required for the verb to agree with its subject in terms of phi-features. In operator-bound agreement constructions, the verb shows no agreement with the extracted subject. More specifically, a discontinuous affix of invariable form / i __n / always appears on the verb. I argue that in local extraction of the subject in wh-questions, relatives and clefts, the invariable affix on the verb is the expression of an agreement relation holding between a verb and an operator with a [+Focus] feature in the specifier of the complementizer phrase.
In the objective to identify the less infested cotton varieties by insects, infestation levels in absence of insecticide treatment of 12 varieties in Gobé in centre of Bénin and of 26 varieties in Angaradebou in the north of the country have been evaluated in research station in a complete randomized block design with 5 repetitions in Gobé and 6 repetitions in Angaradebou. The infestation levels of insects (Helicoverpa armigera, Diparopsis watersi, Earias spp, Spodoptera littoralis) which damage cotton reproductive organs were significantly low on GIZA 77, PNS 47 I UI, T1219-153 and SAHR varieties. The infestations of Aphis gossypii, one of the principal insects which damage cotton leaves, were significantly low on MNH 93, LAHG 063, PNS 121 II V-S and R1 R2 Y1 P1 L02 varieties. Agronomic characteristics of the varieties such as number of bolls per plant, quantity of seed cotton per boll, quantity of seed cotton per plant, quantity of seed cotton per hectare and infestation levels of cotton varieties in comparison in Gobé and in Angaradebou showed that the PNS III H H PNS 70 variety was the less infested variety which produced seed cotton per hectare significantly higher than those observed in STAM 18 A.
Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp plant was efficiently regenerated using cotyledonary nodes as explant. The explants were excised from 3 days old seedling grown in vitro on MS medium containing 3 mg/l BAP. They were cultured on MS medium containing BAP (2,5 mg/l) combinated with different dose of NAA (0, 0,1 and 0,5 mg/l) for shoot induction. Regeneration frequency varied with growth regulator combinations in the medium. A maximum number of 9,6 shoots per explant was recorded on MS medium containing 2.5 mg/l BAP. Increase in the ANA concentration of the culture medium decreased the number of shoots. Regenerated shoots were elongated on MS medium containing 1,25 mg/l BAP. The elongated shoots were rooted on MS rooting medium without hormone. The rooted plants were transferred to soil with a survival rate of 80%.
Since the advent of computer science, technological progress has been steadily growing, notably with the famous Moore law, which wanted the microprocessor of the next generation to have the dual capabilities of the previous microprocessor. Exponential ways from the advent of Windows 95 with its I-80486 processor, to the pentium4 up to the i3, i5 and i7 dual core processor. The logical consequences of this technological advance is that the various (For those already existing as computer-aided design) and new branches such as special effects in movies, with software like Maya 3D, Blender.

A study was conducted to evaluate the performance of five varieties of Bean common biofortifie implementation competition under treatment of growth regulators: Allwin Wonder and Allwin top, from February until May 2016. Our experience took place in the experimental field at the Institute superior teaching of Lubumbashi, located on the avenue of the revolution to the Baudouin area.
As part of this work, a randomized complete block experimental device has been used. Of our five varieties use, the K132 variety was more precocious to flowering MAHARAGI soybeans takes more time before maturity, however CODMLB007, LSA144 and ZKA93-M95 present a similar result compared to the days of maturation. The CODMLB007 was most attacked by aphids; the LSA144 and MAHARAGI soybeans were less contested and the K132 and ZKA93-M95 are intermediate compared to the impact of aphids attack.
For all parameters observed: (days to flowering, days to maturity, reproductive Adaptation (in charge of the pod), vegetative Adaptation (force), attack by insects, performance level), on the threshold of 5%. When it comes to attacks of aphids; the LSA144 MAHARAGI soy have been resistant, have given a better performance and are best suited in the edapho-climate conditions of Lubumbashi.
This paper deals with the deformation of an elastic solid described by Lame equations satisfying the boundary conditions. By means of the differential operators, we reduce these equations to Poisson equations that we solve using Galerkin method, i.e. we obtain the components of displacement vector. Furthermore, we compute the strain and stress tensors acting on the solid which are important in engineering applications. Numerous examples are given in this work.
Each year the world's forests in general and / or the hinterland of Kinshasa (DRC) in particular is reduced because it is managed as a mine, that is to say, we draw without restitution. The forest contains much more than wood, the main source of income for the peasants. How is the production of wood fuels practiced? What are the cumulative effects of income from non-rational production of wood fuels?
These two situations led us to assume that the causes are multiple and interrelated, generating various impacts. They are summarized in the reduction of biodiversity, the instability of the forest ecosystem, the depletion of a large part of the plant resources on which many economies are based. This article determines some cumulative effects on farmers' incomes.
A study on the nutritional and toxic substances of three wild food plants consumed in the Tshopo province of the Democratic Republic of Congo was made before cooking. It appears from this study that these berries may constitute dietary supplements of value as regards the crude protein, fat, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and vitamins. However, many of these plants may also contain toxic substances (oxalates) or undesirable substances (tannins and saponins). All these results justify the use of these plants by the population in Tshopo province.
A study on the nutritional and toxic substances from leaves of four wild food plants consumed by the riparian population of Yoko forest reserve in Ubundu Territory in the Tshopo province of the Democratic Republic of Congo was made before cooking. It appears from this study that these berries may constitute dietary supplements of value as regards the crude protein, fat, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and vitamins. However, many of these plants may also contain toxic substances (nitrites, nitrates and cyanides) or undesirable substances (alkaloids, tannins, sterols and terpenes). All these results justify the use of these plants by the riparian population of Yoko forest reserve in Ubundu Territory in the province of Tshopo.
Cinematic Poster is an advertising for a movie, includes a brief about everything within the movie, it distributed everywhere in the streets, newspaper even transportations.
However, it is very important because of its crucial role to make the success of a movie, but there a number of problems in the Arabic cinema industry, become crystal clear through the artistic criticism for such posters which does not show any relation to the dramatic elements of the movie, and does not reflect enough cultural awareness.
So, this study tries to analyze such elements, to make it clear for the designer to be more careful about next time he design a cinematic poster, And the most important the economical, sociological aspects of the audience to provide more understandable language with them by the visual contact with the poster.
The importance of this study comes by identifying the very modern technology looming on the near horizon, headed for the educational systems, with telecommunication and wireless technologies generally and mobile technologies specially. To show a new learning style, it is a mobile learning, on the grounds that some form of distance learning, and an extension of the e-learning, which took to taking over the world with its means of audio-visual, cognitive, interactive and participatory through smart digital electronic devices, in order to create an educational and learning environment, durable and dynamic, free and direct, it is not constrained by time and space, it eliminate the culture of tradition and routine classroom and allow the learner to move freely and access to educational materials and sources of knowledge wherever they may be and wherever they are.
Nevertheless, it should be considered to that success in mobile learning is depended not only in the application of techniques and abilities provided by these tools, but also needs the capacity of education and training related experts.
The mobile learning is one of the advanced sections in the e-learning that provides learners to access to educational contents and interact easily with other members.
And through this article, we will try to highlight the overall aspects of this type of learning, and the possibility of employing this technology and seeing its impact on the future of learning in Morocco and the efforts exerted in this field.
The Argania spinosa (L. Skeels) is an endemic tree of the south-west morocco. It gives a fruit that contains a seed oleaginous. Oil is produced from the kernels by press or by hands Or by an organic solvent such as hexane. This work has for objective to study parameters influencing the storage of kernels practiced before extraction of oil. Optimal storage conditions of the argan tree kernels were determine by measuring the water activity, such a measure allowed to control and optimize the manufacturing process and conservation and ensure its mechanical stability, physical, chemical, and microbiological. Thus water sorption isotherms of argan kernels were determined at different temperatures : 40 ° C and 70 ° C using the standard static gravimetric method. Six saturated salt solutions selected to give different relative humidity in the range of 0.05–0.90 were used. Results showed that temperature has a great effect on the sorption isotherms kernels. kernels lost a great part of their water when the temperature increases. Thus temperature accelerates the drying reaction. The optimum size of kernels allowing to have optimum drying is located between 0,6mm and 1mm. Increasing the thickness of the contact surface reduces the effect of drying parameters.
