In the context of building an ethical enforcement system for general election organizers in Indonesia, apart from the need to complete and reinforce the material for legislation, it is also important to question the effectiveness of the work of general election organizers. The organizers of the General Election have the authority to impose sanctions on perpetrators of violations of the General Election administration. The emergence of ethical enforcement problems for the organizers of the General Election, especially in Article 458 paragraph (13) and paragraph (14) of Law no. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections, which explains that the DKPP's decision is final and binding, this can lead to legal uncertainty and cannot be equated with final and binding decisions from judicial institutions in general because DKPP is an internal election organizer that is authorized by law. The results of this study have theoretical implications, especially concerning the code of ethics in the administration of elections that has developed so far which views that laws and regulations apply as the only absolute recognized standard of truth. This study has practical implications, that state law needs to be adapted to the conditions and situations of this nation, not to the interests of certain parties. Enforcement of ethics as described in Law no. 7 of 2017 concerning General Elections. The substances regulated are obligations to the state, obligations to the community, integrity, independence, and professionalism of the General Election Organizer. Although there is no explicit mention of the obligation to honor a code of ethics that is implemented properly/not violated is expected to place the General Election Organizer in the highest honor.

It is reasonable within the range from 45 ° to 90 °. It shows that it is maximum of the efficient resolved tensile and shear stress at 90°. The twin is the most active around 45 ° roughly the most active range is 22.5 to 67.5°. Therefore we believe that the possibility of twin is relatively high. The effective stress according to s2eff=ss2+tc2-2sstc cos (90°+ϕ) and the adapted effective stress s2eff=ss2+tc2 likely excludes a little deviation with 0~4MPa in Ti2AlNb. The deviation is largest with 4MPa in ϕ of 42.5° in Ti2AlNb. The range rate is 0.5%. According to efficient stress & twins and dislocation happen at λ=45°and 90°.

This study entails the research data of the empirical study carried out on the compressive strength determination of Granite dust-Sandcrete with granite dust as partial replacement of three (3) grades of river sand with fineness modulus (fm) of 2.29, 2.44 and 2.89. The percentage replacements range from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% to 100%. A gross number of 102 cubes of 150 × 150 × 150mm square metallic mould were blend, mixed and cast with a mix ratio of 1:5. Three (3) cubes were blend, mixed and cast for each percentage partial replacement and a total 34 cubes for each grade of river sand, were crushed to derive the compression strength of 28th day curing respectively. For river sand with fineness modulus of 2.29, the highest strength was recorded on 80% replacement, while the least strength was recorded on 0% replacement. For the same river sand, compressive strength increased from 0% to 80% and assumed a descending trend from 80% to 100%. For 2.44 fineness modulus, the highest strength was recorded on 80% replacement, while the least strength was recorded on 0% replacement. Also, for the same river sand, compressive strength increased from 0% to 80% and assumed a descending trend from 80% to 100%. For river sand of 2.89 fineness modulus, the highest strength was recorded on 70% replacement, while the least strength was recorded on 0% replacement. Also, compressive strength increased from 0% to 70% and assumed a descending trend from 70% to 100%. Generally, the compressive strength assumed an upward trend as the percentage replacement increases.

The issue of reincarnation has always been handled as an answer to the question: do Africans believe in reincarnation? This paper shows that the main issue should rather be: do Africans believe in the law of reincarnation? Through the analysis of the differential cosmological conceptions of reincarnation in Kôngo culture and Hinduism the author arrives to the conclusion that contrary to Hinduism reincarnation is not a law in the African Kôngo worldview. This conclusion leads the author to revisit what is assumed to be the doctrine of reincarnation or transmigration of soul, in some African cultures and to show that it alludes rather the transmigration of spirit, the natural means for an ancestor to come back through a sharing of his qualities with a newborn and even for being his protector.

Most of the economic sectors of the world are affected by the unembellished outspread of Covid-19. The economy of Bangladesh could not go beyond its adverse effect. This study tries to determine the complications of the SME sector of Cumilla district due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic situation and to indicate some strategic choices to adapt to the hostile Covid-19 situation. Setting three possible strategies of the SMEs to adapt adverse Covid-19 conditions, the binary logistic model is used in this study and found that asset level and labor force management have a significant impact on the decision making of the SMEs. Kendall’s W shows that ‘a decrease in revenue earnings’ is the most pressing constraint faced by the SMEs during the period. To survive in the market, individual attempts of the SMEs may not be fruitful at all, stakeholders should come forward soon.

All around the world, the Building Information Modeling (BIM) is transforming the architecture of engineering design and of construction industry. While it is in an early implementation stage in African Sub-saharan Countries, many construction regulators and project owners are beginning to enforce the BIM application from the project design stage to its commissioning. The aim of this research work is to provide an approach for designing industrial warehouses using BIM as it was done in the industrial zone of the Kribi Deep Sea port in Cameroon. The proposed methodology is presented in six steps: definition of BIM general requirements, design of the 3D BIM architectural model, sizing of wall and roof for specific requirements, design of the 3D BIM structural model, coordination of 3D BIM models and interference detection and creation of 4D BIM model. Results obtained from the application of BIM on the design of a warehouse, dedicated to preserve the natural and biological essence of cocoa and coffee products in a hostile marine environment, show that this methodology is easily appropriated and implemented by local design and construction engineers through available engineering software in the local market.

The objectives of our study are to trace the epidemiological profile of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in the province of al Haouz and to study the effectiveness of the national control program against leishmaniasis in this endemic area. It is a descriptive epidemiological study of cases recorded in public health facilities (health centers) and in the service of infrastructure and provincial ambulatory activities (SIAAP) of the province al Haouz between 2015 and 2019. Also it is an evaluative study of the provincial leishmaniasis control program. We found 264 cases of CL (94.96%) and 14 cases of VL (5.03%). The age groups most affected by CL were 0-5 years and pediatric cases (age less than 15 years) represented 74.62 percent of all CL cases. Females accounted for 61.15 percent of CL cases. The evolution of the number of notified cases of CL each year showed significant variations with a minimum value of 36 in 2015 and a maximum value of 70 in 2018 with an average number of CL cases recorded per year of 52 cases. The period at risk of CL contamination was the second and third quarter of the year with a percentage of 69.7 percent. 93.18 percent of communes affected by CL were rural communes. Passive screening was 96.59 percent with a number of LC cases of 255. 248 CL cases (93.93% of cases) were treated locally and 2 cases (0.75%) were treated systemically. 14 cases of VL were recorded, with a minimum value of 1 case in 2016 and a maximum value of 5 cases in 2017.All cases were treated by general route. In the present study, the analysis of the annual incidence of CL per 100,000 inhabitants showed a clear decrease in this indicator from 4.48 in 2015 to 1.65 in 2019.

Adverse effects of halothane on the liver range from liver dysfunction to hepatitis, and are more frequent following repeated use. Medical personals are in risk of chronic exposure of wasted halothane. However, there are limited literatures about this effect based on time exposure. To identify and analyze the liver cells changes of halothane exposure to liver cells of Balb/C mice. This experimental study used randomized post-test only control group design in 30 male BalbC mice given 0.011 mg/weight halothane 3 hours daily for two weeks (group 1), four weeks (group 2), six weeks (group 3), six weeks followed by 2 weeks of halothane free (group 4), and without exposure (control group). The liver tissues were HE stained and observed for enlarge, karyorrhexis, and karyolitic of the nucleus. Immunohistochemistry was undertaken to count the percentage of cytocrome-P450 stained brown colour and scored based on its intensity. The difference among groups and between each group were statistically significant (p< 0.05), except between group 2 and 4 (p = 0.078), and between group 3 and 4 (p = 0.522). The difference of cytocrome-P450 expression among groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.266). There was statistically significant difference of abnormal liver cell nucleus changes in groups with different time of halothane exposure (p = 0.000) while no statistically significant difference of cytocrome-P450 expressions (p = 0.266) was found. The nucleus changes were gradually increased with the time of exposure.

Mesothelioma of peritoneum is a rare malignancy of serosal membranes. Here we report a case of 55year old female with mass per abdomen reported as epithelioid type of peritoneal mesothelioma. The diagnostic challenge in our cases was due to non specific presentation and the varied histologic morphology of tumor cells for which immunohistochemical studies with markers calretinin, vimentin, cytokeratin 20, cytokeratin5/6, CD34 and HMB34 had to be performed to arrive at the diagnosis. The tumor cells showed positvity for calretinin, vimentin and cytokeratin 20. The final diagnosis was possible due to correlation of histological and immunohistochemical characteristics been consistent with mesothelial origin.

The overall objective of this study was to determine the taxonomic composition and spatial seasonal variation of the zooplankton population in fish ponds in Kisangani, DR Congo. The collection of zooplankton in fishponds was carried out using plankton nets in the Artisanal and Plateau boyoma districts for four months, two months per season. At the end of this study, 3 sub-classes, 13 families and 22 species were listed. The subclass Monogononta (Rotifers) was the best represented with 7 families and 14 species identified. On the other hand, the family Brachionidae was the richest with 6 species. The high specific richness of zooplankton according to site and season was recorded in the Artisanal district with 19 species and in the rainy season with 22 species. Thus, it should be noted that the fish ponds of Kisangani have a high specific diversity of zooplankton that can vary according to the sites and seasons. Certain species such as Tropocyclops prasinus prasinus, Moina macrocopa, Brachionus falcatus, Thermocyclops sp and Brachionus calyciflorus are more abundant than others present. However, the list of species presented is not exhaustive given the sampling period, which was only 4 months, and the collection effort, which was only carried out at two sites.
