Agricultural Engineering is taught in the Faculty of Natural Sciences, National University of Salta (UNSa). The curriculum includes the subject Agricultural Chemistry (QA), in this paper the results of the implementation of a virtual classroom in the academic performance of students in the first year of study are presented. To evaluate the perception of the virtual learning environment Moodle student, a semi-structured survey was applied and the data were compared with the partial and final results of the course. In general, active participation was correlated with academic success, but the final yield was not as good as expected considering the current advantages of information and communication in education. The main conclusion is that the virtual learning environment was used less than projected due to the lack of discipline of students and their lack of time management.

Our research aims to explore the relationship between information sources, absorptive capacity and innovation in a sample of Moroccan SMEs in the region of Souss-Massa-Draa. Indeed, we searched through an empirical study to understand the effect of absorption on the processing of information in innovation by SMEs in the context of a developing country like Morocco.
Our results show that information networks offering new non-routine information and who are considered weak signals, contribute most to innovation in SMEs. Moreover, most SMEs have the ability to absorb information from its environment, the greater the magnitude of innovations is important. These results confirm the moderating effect of absorptive capacity in the transformation of information into innovation, and can be used to establish within SMEs a competitive intelligence system whose purpose is the collection of information and its operation. These results also emphasize the role of training of human resources as pillars of exploitation of information and its translation into innovation.

Objective.

In Morocco, storage reservoirs are particular systems of water supply in rural areas (a case study in Assif El Mal Valley). These reservoirs are fed by rainwater and/or directly from the river through opened channels, and are used without any treatment as a drinking water by the surrounding population.
This study was conducted to evaluate the bacterial contamination of drinking water reservoirs in this rural area using a molecular approach studying the 16S-rDNA bacterial diversity in water, via Polymerase Chain Reaction and Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) technique.
The application of PCR-DGGE techniques on stored water in the reservoirs showed a high bacterial diversity, including pathogens, namely Salmonella sp., E.coli, Sphingomonas spp. and Aeromonas sp., which indicated a high risk of infection for the user population.
Comparative cluster analyses of the DNA based fingerprints revealed the six studied reservoirs according a gradient accumulation of bacterial contaminants from upstream to downstream.
The molecular approach in this study gives a very helpful tool to confirm without any doubt the bacterial contamination of drinking water. Otherwise, this study provides an overview of the dominant bacterial groups in the traditional storage reservoirs of water in Moroccan rural area and the impact of environmental changes on bacterial diversity.

The theme of social cohesion was mobilized as a central objective of urban policy. These policies are designed to cope with the rise of urban poverty analyzed in terms of social and urban exclusion. They are based on the model of a "balanced" society seamlessly blending social classes, ethnic groups and generations to ward crystallization of pockets of poverty that would be problematic because at the basis of a culture of poverty, development insecurity or the establishment of a underclass. Ghettos have long been the bane of governments. High unemployment, poverty, crime ... These neighborhoods combine the social difficulties. Many experts question whether the cohabitation of the middle class and the poor can actually manage to pull up the most modest. And it goes against the nature of social behavior, usually people move to a neighborhood that resembles them. Diversity sought cannot be so temporary, social divisions are a permanent feature of the city, and mixed situations are almost always temporary, sooner or later, segregation eventually increase.
To solve the problems of deprived neighborhoods, policies focus only on urban planning. Social cohesion is thus conceived as a way to create a diverse and socially balanced city. It is a means to disperse the poor in urban areas to better conceal the problems related to them. Having said that social cohesion is an ideal goal turned into public action.

Integral transformations have been successfully used for almost two centuries in solving many problems in applied mathematics, mathematical physics, engineering and technology. The origin of the integral transforms is the Fourier and Laplace transforms. Integral transformation is one of the well known techniques used for function transformation. Integral transform methods have proved to be of great importance in initial and boundary value problems of partial differential equation. The Fourier as well as Laplace transforms have various applications in various fields like science, physics, mathematics, engineering, geophysics, medical, cellular phones, electronics and many more as we have seen in earlier papers. In this paper we discussed about Fourier-Laplace transforms and this Fourier-Laplace transform may also have many applications in various fields.
This paper presents the generalization of Fourier-Laplace transform in distributional sense. Testing function spaces are defined, also some Abelian theorems of the initial and final value type are given. And the Abelian theorems are of considerable importance in solving boundary value problems of mathematical physics.

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is recognized as candidate gene for susceptibility to several disease such cardiovascular disease, or arterial hypertension (AHT). The main objective of this study was to investigate a possible association between polymorphisms of the VDR gene and AHT among Moroccan patients. Materials and Methods: 177 clinically diagnosed AHT patients and 222 healthy controls from the Moroccans population were recruited. Bsm-I(rs1544410), Fok-I(rs10735810) and Apa-I (rs7975232) single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPS) of VDR gene were analyzed using PCR-RFLP reaction. A Vitamin D level was determined using ELISA. Results: Fok-I polymorphism had a strong association with AHT in all genetics models. It was found that FF carriers tend to have higher HDL-c levels than the ff genotypes (55.30

Hysterectomy among young women is being raised as a matter of concern by women's health advocates in India. This paper is based on a qualitative study conducted in the state of Maharashtra, which attempts to understand the ways in which women overcome the barriers in accessing health services for reproductive morbidities, the reasons for accepting hysterectomy as ' the' treatment as well as the implications of hysterectomy on women's health. Total 44 in depth interviews were conducted with women, who had undergone hysterectomy and were below 45 years at the time of interview. Fear of cancer, failure of medical treatment, practical difficulties in living with reproductive health problems, fear mongering by the doctors and belief in the hysterectomy as the best treatment, these were some of the reasons for which women accepted hysterectomy. Most of these hysterectomies were conducted in private hospitals. The study indicates the need for further research for explicating the role of private health sector in medicalising different reproductive events occurring in the life of women.

Tuberculosis of the breast is a very rare infection, it occurs chiefly in women of childbearing potential, usually as an apparently primary infection and constitute a diagnosis and therapeutic challenge. Administration of antituberculosis agents is the mainstay of therapy. Surgery is required in some cases.
We report one case of breast tuberculosis. The diagnosis was put on histology with good outcome under anti bacillary treatment. Through the literature data we recall the epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and treatment of this pathology.

Water scarcity and sanitation have constituted a major problem to the Nigerian government, this is because only 40 percent of the Nigerian population has access to potable water and over one hundred thousand children die yearly due to poor sanitation. This study evaluates the Water Poverty Index (WPI) that was designed by Caroline Sullivan for the monitoring and accessing of water at the international, regional and local levels. The study relies on secondary source for data gathering. This paper analyses the use of the WPI in five local government areas of Oyo state which indicated that the five local government areas are water-stressed regions because of the poor results in the WPI findings. It is on this ground that the study calls on the government to use the WPI for the monitoring of water availability so that adequate water policy can be initiated for proper integrated water management to address the problem of water scarcity. Finally, the study calls for future research on the WPI through an iterative process.

All shells can be contaminated with paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins, but at variablelevels depending on the area and type of shells. The highest rate of PSP toxins registered so far is 1000

This study was about the failure factors of Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) students in teaching graduate programme (TGP) at institute of teacher education (ITE). Thus, this study identified the factors of failure from personal problems, lecturer, facility, syllabus and school factors. Furthermore, this study used a mixed mode method such as semi-structural interview and questionnaires. To answer the interview instrument, a total of 12 TGP students were selected from maximum variation method based on six different zones. Then, to answer the questionnaires, this research involved 40 TGP students at random.
Next, descriptive statistics of SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the factors in five domains. The findings of the study indicated that the domain of syllabus factors contributed to the cause of the failure at the highest level. However, the finding of the lecturer communication was the highest among the items. Therefore, failure was causing some effects such as feeling sad, frustrated and stressed out to deal with colleagues and family members.

The aim of this paper is to announce the discovery of new elements of the Bell Beaker pottery in Morocco. Although the results are limited, disparate and coming from an unreliable stratigraphic cotext, yet all can enrich our knowledge about the spread of Beaker pottery, expand the area of geographic expansion of this complex off the Moroccan coast and affirm that this highly advanced civilization in Central and Western Europe, especially in Andalusia and in southern Spain has also grown in Morocco. The increased presence of this ceramic inland to Central Middle Atlas and the good representativeness of Bell-Beaker culture in Morocco challenges the assumption of simple circulation of this ceramic and resumes debate on the existence of an autochthonous foyer. However, intact archaeological levels and reliable radiocarbon dating are lacking for the most part to be able to resolve the question of Campaniforme in Morocco.

The aim of the present work is to evaluate the impact of the self-esteem on the sportive performance in a sample of 180 young adolescents attending school. To achieve this objective, we used the ROSENBERG scale known for the assessment of self-esteem. Moreover, we chose the floor gymnastics to evaluate the sports performance.
The results showed low self esteem and sports performance in this group of teenagers. Girls displayed lower self-esteem and lower performance compared to boys. As far as the age is concerned, adolescents who are between 13 and 14 years old present higher performance compared to older ones. The correlation analysis showed that self-esteem has a positive effect on sports performance.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the sports performance depends on the self esteem which means that a better management of mental health of adolescents could improve significantly their sports performance.

This work provides the map of mass movements hazard, which presents the most common phenomena in the N'fis watershed. The study is part of the contribution to the watershed management, which is highly vulnerable to natural hazards, and also in the context of the production of information and awareness documents. The methodology is the creation of thematic maps in GIS by combining, determining factors (slope, lithology, fracturing) in triggering land instabilities in the region, following decision rules. These maps are subsequently combined to yield a map of mass movements hazard. The latter shows four areas of susceptibility to hazard: low, medium, high and very high. The class of high susceptibility to hazard occupies 50.83% of the surface of the study area. This shows the sensitivity of the area to potential risks. These results were compared to the realities on the ground, allowing the validation of the method used.

In this work, a numerical estimation of the unsaturated physical soil hydrodynamic parameters is proposed. The mass transfer of water in the unsaturated porous media is described by the Richards model, which represents a combination of the Darcy law and the mass conservation equation. The control of the solution of the Richards equation is nonlinear and very sensitive to the knowledge of the Van Genuchten parameters {ks, ?s, ?r, n and ?}.The purpose of this study is to estimate these parameters from measurements of water content obtained at different depths of soil in the M'nasra area (north-west of Morocco). The obtained results are compared with those of the literature that refer to the study zone. A good agreement is observed between the estimated and measurement data.

A retrospective study of poisoning cases, declared between January 2004 and December 2011 in delegation of health Errachidia province located in the region of Meknes-Tafilalet Morocco. During the study period, 142 cases were collected. The average age of patients was 28

Our study is the follow up and spatial analysis of a number of physico-chemical parameters of water wells located at different distances from the city dump Kenitra. The absence of a source of drinking water in the region pushes the population to feed by groundwater sinks. The results show that the majority of the analysed parameters exceed drinking water standards for the discharge of three wells (P1, P2, P3) at said source of water, it is found that the pH (7.8) EC (3.3ms/cm), Ca+ Mg (7.6ms/cm), Ca2+ (186.4mg/L) Mg2 + (80.6 mg/l) , Na+ (43.7 mg/l), K+ (6.6 mg/l) NH4+ (2.7mg/l), Cl (94.5 mg/l), HCO3(287.7mg /l), CO3 (797.5 mg / l), SO4 (26.0 mg / l).
Far exceed the WHO drinking water standards and water standards and Moroccan waters twenty wells in the area Mnasra physicochemical results Ph (7.4) EC (0.8ms/cm), Ca Mg+(3.1ms/cm), Ca2+(106.8mg/l), Mg2+ (11.3 mg/l), Na+(68.5 mg / l), K+(7.4 mg/l) NH4+ (2 mg/l), Cl (94.5mg/l), HCO3(236.4 mg/l), CO3(95.8 mg/l), SO4(86.3 mg/l), Thus, the diagnosis revealed the presence of a very important pollution by leachate wells discharge is compared with the well Mnasra region. As well as the phenomenon of the increase of the water can be generated by processes of erosion, leaching and infiltration of land in the region (phosphate layers, marl and limestone intercalated) caused by the acidity due this pollution.

There are many phenomena that are still subject to controversy among scientists mainly physicians. In this article I tried a new explanation to the phenomenon "D

The study of the β-himachal

Even though it is elder than the bank sector, the credit activity is one of the most important bank activities. We assume that it finds its origins in the Babylonian era and it could survive until now to many obstacles that were mostly related to religion

The chemical and microbiological analyses done on the newly introduced traditional alcoholic drinks and produced by the population in KATANA and BUGORHE, commonly named: BOA, KAZAMUKA and KALAMOS JUICE showed that the chemical quality of these last do not comply with recommended standards for wines and/or beers. Thus, they cannot be safe for human consumption. All these three drinks had alcohol content between 20.7 and 25.5% that are very high for a drink usually used in relatively high quantity of about 1litre. Once, they had pH between 2.3 and 2.5 that are too acidic and then harmful to health because the admissible pH must be at least of 4 and even the pH 3 is acceptable for the wines that are taken to relatively low quantities and during food. As for the microbiological analysis of the 3 samples using culture on three different sterile growth mediums, we did not observe presence of microorganisms. The revision of the technological processes proves to be indispensable in the manufacture of these drinks.

In today's internet world the need for automated security system is critical and challenging issue. The biometric can play a major role in maintenance of information security and authentication in computing systems. The computing system requires reliable authentication and recognition of individual for confirming the identity. A biometric system recognizes an individual based on his/her physical or behavioral features which are unique. By using biometrics we can verify that the users are in fact who they claim to be. In this paper we compare and discuss various biometric traits and techniques.

In this work we used density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP/6-31G*(d) to study the stoichiometric reaction between the β-himachalene and dibromocarbene. We have shown that β-himachalene behaves as a nucleophile, while dibromocarbene behaves as an electrophile; that the chemical potential of dibromocarbene is superior to that of β-himachalene in absolute terms; and that β-himachalene reacts with an equivalent quantity of dibromocarbene to produce only one products P1: (1S,3R,8S) -2,2- dibromo -3,7,7,10

This paper examines the structural transformation in the trade relation between Ecowas member countries and China, using the flying geese model. We used data set on exports and imports as published by the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN-COMTRADE) for the period 1998-2010. We conferred the study to three-digit of the standard international trade classification (SITC) Revision 2 and we focus on 173 groups of products SITC. The results of our investigation revealed Nigeria, Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire and Benin to be the first Ecowas countries to join the flying geese model led by China. Afterward, countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso, Gambia and Togo followed the geese model. China, being a transitioning economy, has helped too in leading the structural transformation in natural-resource intensive products in West African countries. However, the process of the structural transformation in Ecowas countries as led by China was found to have been slow. The trade pattern was predominantly that of inter-industry trade.

Endometriosis of a wall scar is a rare clinical entity, and in the perineum is exceptional occurring after gynaecological or obstetrical surgery. The origin remains vague. The clinical characteristic of these lesions implies an inconstant painful swelling during menstruation; however only the histological examination of the specimen will be able to confirm the diagnosis. The treatment is primarily surgical and relies on the complete surgical excision of the lesion.

A study on lianes inventory in the permanent quadrats has been done in Kahuzi-Biega National Park, exactly in Tshivanga sector in South-Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. The objective of this work is to make inventory of all lianes in the quadrats as well as their relative density.
The inventory was realized by four quadrats. Each quadrat dad 1 hector and is subdivided in to 16 square of 25 m x 25 m. In each quadrat, 4 squares have been selected at random. The number of undurduals was counted. We measured then the DBH of trees which lianes use as support.
The researches have reached of the following results: the lianes are more represented (22 species) than the support trees (18species). This resultant is very different from that of Madidi (1999) who found a mono dominante forest of Babagulu. Less diversified in lianescent flora.
We notice that the plants which have lianes are less numerous. The choice of the lianas to colonise a plant depends on the distance which separates the lianes of the host plant.

The present work which talks about the stydy of abundance of lianes in the quadrat of follow up after two years of implimantation in KBNP, goes from the high altitude precisely in Tshivanga secter has the objective of determining the lianes abundance as well as their similarity in our study sites. For alhiering our results, we have used the quadrat method. Each quadrat is of one hectare and it is subdivided in 16 squares of 25m x 25m for well determining the florastic composition of lianes we find there. After determining the florastic composition of lianes their inventories have Gallowed us to count 16 lianes species.In doing the analysis similarities of lianes and in considering the presence-absence datas, in using jaccard sign we find that in the squares a large number of lianes species live together in our study sites.The diversity analysis between quadrats show that the lianes are more diversity in the quadrat 3.

Inventory management is a very important aspect as it not only affects the Retailer's financial performance but also the customer satisfaction. As it is obvious that properly managed stocks attracts large number of customers and this results in good sale. Improper stocking not only causes a negative impact on retailer's sale, but also causes severe dissatisfaction amongst customers while going for shopping. The aim of this paper is to study the role of Inventory management techniques in increasing the customer's footfalls, satisfaction and Retailer's sale. The study is descriptive in nature and a self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the primary insight. In an on street questionnaire, the retailers and consumers were asked their opinion about Inventory management techniques. Present study is an attempt to explore the issues related to the parameters mentioned above.

Transform methods are widely used in many areas of science and engineering. For example, transform methods are used in signal processing and circuit analysis, in application of probability theory. The Fourier transform (FT), used for most of the signal processing applications, determines the frequency components present in the signal but with zero time resolution. The fractional cosine and sine transform closely related to the fractional Fourier transform which is now actively used in optics and signal processing. Application of their fractional version in signal/image processing is very promising.
This paper concerned with generalization of fractional Sine transform in distributional sense. Operational transform formulae as linearity, scaling, derivative for generalized two dimensional fractional Sine transform are proved.

Information Communication Technology (ICT) has become an essential component in healthcare because it enhances interoperability amongst healthcare practitioners by facilitating the seamless and meaningful exchange of information within and across diverse healthcare institutions at the point of care. Consequently, healthcare providers have timely access to patients' information which enables them to manage patients' health in a timely manner. However, interoperability amongst electronic healthcare systems is still a challenge. One of the major obstacles to interoperability of electronic health systems is the problem of usability. Specifically, the ability of healthcare providers to accept and use electronic healthcare systems for information exchange successfully depends on how well the user interface of the electronic healthcare systems have been designed. Thus, a poorly designed user interface, missing critical functionalities in the electronic healthcare system or an inadequate match between the features of the user interface and the user tasks contributes to medical errors, decreased user performance and satisfaction as well as inefficient healthcare such as missing information important to diagnoses. Consequently, healthcare practitioners find it difficult to accept and use electronic healthcare system for patients' care and meaningful information exchange. Hence, this paper appraises the impacts of usability on the interoperability of electronic healthcare systems. The paper also examines the ways of ensuing usability amongst interoperating electronic healthcare systems.

In a cross-sectional study, the prevalence of intestinal parasites infection and its association with socio-economic factors were explored among children aged 0 to 15 years hospitalized in Moulay Abdellah Hospital in Sal

A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 144 under-five children from rural (n=72) and urban (n=72) area in Tangail, Bangladesh. The major objective of this study was to assess and compare their socioeconomic information and nutritional status among rural and urban children. This study initiated that almost one half participants in urban area were nuclear family (<4 member) but major participants in rural area (44.5%) were contained 6-7 family member. In rural area, the occupations of household head were mainly farmer (44.4%) while more than two third were engaged themselves in business in urban areas. Anthropometric indices of weight-for- height (WHZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), height-for-age (HAZ) and Body Mass Index (BMI) for Age (BAZ) z-score were used to estimate the children's nutritional status. It was found for WHZ in rural area that 1.39% children were severely wasted, 1.39% were moderately wasted, 22.23% were mildly wasted and there were no severe overweight but in urban areas 25%, 2.78% and 1.38% were mild overweight, moderate overweight and severe overweight respectively. For WAZ, the results also stated that, the children from rural area were underweight (38.8% mildly underweight and 25% moderately underweight) rather than overweight but inverse results were found for urban children. For HAZ, the prevalence of moderately stunting among rural children (44.45%) was higher than urban children (2.78%). From BAZ, the prevalence of obesity was presented higher among the urban children. As most of the rural children were wasted, underweight and stunted, it should be provided community education concerning about nutritional knowledge, environmental sanitation and personal hygienic practices, breast-feeding and weaning practices, nutritional deficiency diseases, nutritional value of food and dietary practices would perhaps overturn the trends.

The technical performance such as seeds of plants, need an appropriate environment to grow. Otherwise, the environment has an essential role in achieving the artistic immortality. And because the mentally disabled child has two capacities: clarity of mind and spontaneity, like any artist, he has an incentive to reach performance within the artwork. Follow-up to this category during technical performance, we find that they have a method distinguishes each individual on the other. In this sense, the study aims to identify the potential performance in the field of sculpture for mentally disabled children within the province of Kafr el-Sheikh, and that through the work of an analytical study of a group of works of art with a sample of mentally handicapped children attempt to understand this talent development and the appreciation of a sense of themselves.

Traffic roads intensification contribute to ambient air pollution of the city of Abidjan, in Ivory Coast, as other African capitals. Biomonitoring methods based on spectrals and anatomicals plants leaves characteristics are effective to assess urban environment quality. Measurements of reflectance in the visible and taking stomatal imprints have been made on leaves of Ficus polita Vahl. Leaves were collected in roads vicinity and in parks of the city of Abidjan. Measurements of reflectance allow to distinguish road environment pollution relatively to parks while stomatal density (DS) revealed leaves anatomical response to road atmosphere quality. Air pollution impact on leaves physiology was determined by Normalised Dorsiventral Asymmetry Index (NDAI) and Stress Index (SI). NDAI is higher in parks than roadsides. Besides DS increasing values are observed with distance from the road when the contrary tendency is observed with SI. These results make it possible to consider an operational approach for assessment and monitoring of urban environment quality based on radiometric index and stomatal parameter.

Universities over the years have experienced a rash of incessant strikes and academic disruptions due to disputes arising from protests and agitations for adequate funding from government to spur research and provide the necessary infrastructure for conducive and purposeful studies. The National Industrial Court (NIC) was established as the final court in the land that determines trade disputes and related matters. This study was carried out to understand ASUU's perception of the National Industrial Court (NIC) in dispute resolutions and enforcement of agreements involving the Federal government.
The study adopted Social Schema Theory and Perception - In-Action Theory. A descriptive research design was employed for the study, using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. The study sample consisted of 816 respondents across the universities in Southwest, Nigeria. A stratified simple random sampling technique was employed to get respondents from the ranks of lecturers in the chosen universities. Also, In-depth Interviews were conducted with male and female respondents and content analysis was employed for qualitative data.
The findings indicated that majority of the respondents (74.5%) declared that federal government did influence NIC judgement on ASUU. The correlation findings R = 0.042 (0.080) illustrated that there was a very weak non-significant relationship of 0.042 between the job position and the level of confidence in National Industrial Court (NIC).
Consequently, the acts by government have prompted disruptions in the academic calendar of universities, with a gradual but steady decline in the standards of education and the flight of the best and brainy academics to advanced capitalist western nations.

Leather tanning with vegetative materials is one of the artisanal preoccupations of some craftsmen in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The leathers produced are however, limited to only three colours; brown, white and black. Their usage in multi-coloured applications by leather crafters in the region is therefore very much restricted. Some of the artisans therefore import leathers from other leather producing communities outside Ghana to supplement the local ones. This stifles the growth of the industry and robs the region and the country of the much needed foreign exchange. This experimental research therefore explored the use of basic dyes, which are cheap and readily available in the area, to extend the colour range of the vegetable tanned leathers manufactured in the region. The research showed that even though the dyed leathers were quite fugitive when exposed to extreme sunlight; and were not dyed-through thoroughly, the affinity of the dyes to the grain and flesh sides of the leathers were admirable. The leathers also exhibited excellent colour brilliance, softness and flexibility. It was found out that the dyed leathers could be suitably used in crafting utilitarian articles such as hand bags, shoulder bags, belts, mobile phones cases, neck pouches, mats, slip-ons, puffs, attaches cases and wallets.
