The present paper focuses on Sino- Latin America and the Caribbean, (LAC) radical profitable continental relations of the South-South relations with exploitative agenda based on win-win diplomacy in the aftermath of terrorists attack of a Hyper-Super Power and subsequent recognition of Chinese Global Economic Strength (CGES) from the beginning of the 21st Century. The historical challenges in the contemporary World ended up with the admission of China as a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) headquarters in the New York City of the United States of America. The main objective is to bring out specific mechanisms used by China to consolidate her relationship with LAC bringing out the potentials of the thirty three countries of the region perceived by Chinese investors and heavy industries in quest of raw materials and available markets for the final products. Therefore, New Peking Consensus of win-win Going Out policy goals vis-à-vis the outdated Washington Consensus proved to be more realistic in the region than those manifested in the previous Centuries by Western capitalist countries in relations to late 19th Century Monroe Doctrine. The scrutiny of primary and secondary sources with evidences collected from Government documents made available online, specialized research papers and related articles enabled the used of historical analytical approach to illustrate the visibility of new strategy of Sino-LAC during the first two decades of the 20th Century making China an unchallengeable position of a Hyper-Economic Power (HEP) vis-à-vis USA in political economy as one of the most powerful existing Communist World.

Waste stabilization ponds (WSP) are used extensively to provide wastewater treatment throughout the world. A review of the literature indicates that, understanding the hydraulics of waste stabilization ponds is critical to their optimization, the research in this area has been relatively limited and that there is a poor mechanistic understanding of the flow behavior that exists within these systems. This explains why there is no generally acceptable model for predicting its performance. The three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model developed in this study was extensively tested on the waste stabilization pond located in the campus of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka which was used as the field pond and also on a laboratory scale waste stabilization pond obtained from literature. Although the model may be solved by several methods, this research was limited to computational method; numerical solution using finite difference method was used in solving the three-dimensional partial differential equations at steady state conditions. In order to validate the quality of the model, its results were compared with the experimental data from the field and the lab-scale ponds. The results obtained were encouraging, prediction of pond performance with measured values shows that a correlation coefficients of (0.92 – 0.95) was obtained, representing an accuracy of 94%, an ultimate result that demonstrates that actual dispersion in the pond is three-dimensional. The 3-D model was then used in series of investigative studies such as; effect of single inlet and outlet structures at different positions in the pond, effect of multiple inlet and outlets on the pond’s performance, variation of pond performance with depth, effect of short-circuiting on pond treatment efficiency, effect of baffles on pond performance using laboratory-scale pond data and comparison with tracer studies. In all, the results were satisfactory.

This study examines the relationship between human resource forecasting and employee resourcefulness in an organization. The study is purely conceptual and thus largely adopted a desk research methodology. Literature review was carried out covering the theoretical conceptual and empirical review of the study constructs, dimensions and measures. The findings in extant literature of the study are that human resource forecasting positively and significantly improves employee resourcefulness in organization. Again, the dimensions of human resource forecasting; quantitative and qualitative forecasting positively and significantly enhance employee resourcefulness. The study therefore recommends that the organization should integrate human resource forecasting into the firm’s overall human resource management framework. This will significantly improve resourcefulness of employees at work.

Desmoid fibroma is a rare benign tumor of fibrous tissue characterized by a high potential for locoregional invasion and recurrence. The mandibular location of this pathology is exceptional. In our work, we report a case of desmoid tumor observed in a 9-year-old boy. Clinically, he presented a large right cheek swelling that was immovable relative to the mandible. The diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological and pathological arguments. There is no therapeutic protocol for desmoid tumors, but surgery is the most commonly used treatment. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormonotherapy are used in addition to surgery or in some cases of inoperable tumors.

Intravascular leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a benign pathology of the uterus. It is characterized by a leiomyocytes proliferation in the lumen of the myometrial and pelvic veins. Prognosis is related to its hormonal dependence and its potential vascular extension. Surgical excision must be complete to avoid recurrence’s risk. In the light of a 31-year-old nulliparous patient case report, with a pelvic mass developed at the uterus, which histological examination confirmed the IVL diagnosis, we will discuss the clinical, evolution, prognosis and management features of this rare variety of myoma.

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) also known as Violence against Women (VAW), Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), or Domestic Violence (DV) is an age socio-cultural issue deep-rooted in African societies. Globally, Gender-Based Violence accounts for nearly one quarter of all recorded crimes. Gender-Based violence affects women in Africa irrespective of age, class, educational level and place of residence. The African society is inherently patriarchal. This is due to the influence of the various religions and customs practiced. Women are seen as inferior to men, and are regarded as property. This practice and mindset has been ingrained in the subconscious mind of the average African man. Consequently, Gender-Based violence has become entrenched and institutionalized. This paper examines Gender-based Violence in Africa (with emphasis on Nigeria and Botswana in the Sub Saharan African Region) and posits that such violence stems mainly from socio –cultural factors and lack of political will to implement effective laws that prohibit and punish GBV. Other factors that engender Gender-Based violence, like lack of awareness of rights by women, illiteracy, poverty, child/ forced marriage, substance abuse are also examined. Recommendations to curb violence against women in Nigeria, Botswana and Africa as a whole are underscored. This study employs the doctrinal research methodology.

This study aims at identifying the potentially viable renewable fuel resources, characterizing the combustion properties of each and to determine those that have potential for use as commercial fuels for domestic and industrial uses. Twenty-three (23) fuels were identified and studied by characterizing their combustion properties viz; calorific value. Also their availability and ease of preparation were studied. As a result of the tests, ten (10) of the twenty-three (23) fuels have been recommended as suitable for exploitation for domestic or industrial uses. Also, it has been recommended that project titles be initiated on the development of systems (equipment) to utilize these recommended fuels.

This research is focused on biogas production from two substrates; cow dung and tomato waste for co-digestion process. A laboratory digester was constructed in the form of modular digester. The pressure reading indicates the presence of gas which confirms that it is possible to produce useful gas from slurry and vegetable waste mixed together. In an instance where this waste was not collected and digested, it is sure that there would be emission of gas into the atmosphere. With the waste management process, the gas emissions and smell intensity is reduced. Although this was done in a small scale because of research purposes, it can also be done in large scale for commercial purposes based on preference. The production was carried out with a pressure gauge during the construction of the digester. This serves as an alternative for gas collection in a gas holder/ tyre tube which is a more efficient way of detecting the presence of produced gas in the system. For faster yield of gas, the production was done in a thermophilic condition, at higher temperature range. Adequate methane gas was produced with co digestion of substrates at balanced ratio of mixture.

It is said that when humans have realized their paramount nature, nature has broken this pride, something has been said in our scriptures also. Something similar happened in years 2020, when a virus imprisoned the human race of the whole world. People were afraid to meet, talk, touch among themselves. We have exploited nature in the name of development. I believe that this epidemic is the result of all this reasons. It is said that every evil and disaster brings some good with it. Something similar has been seen in the world in the last 2 years. Now say we or you, the whole world has completely entered a new digital age. Everything from school to business has reached in this era of digital technology.In this article, we have tried to include all those aspects which led to this epidemic and how the thinking of human life changed after that.

The associations between Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure with prolactin and progesterone hormone levels is been considered globally. A three months study was conducted with female albino rats exposed to BPA. The blood samples were collected for assay of prolactin (PRL), and progesterone (PROG). A significant positive association between increased BPA concentration and higher PRL and PROG levels were observed. The results suggest that BPA exposure may lead to alterations in female reproductive hormone levels.

Talent development environment is a key factor of successful talent identification and development in sports. Without effective talent development environment, athletes and their coaches would achieve little or no success in their quest to nurture sporting potentials into actual performance. Despite Nigeria’s participation in international sporting competitions, sport development in the country suffers from certain functional barriers relating to the general framework for talent development. This study explored talent development environments in Nigeria, using Ondo State as a case study, in order to identify environmental barriers to effective talent development. The Talent Development Environment Questionnaire (TDEQ) was used for data collection among seven hundred and sixty-eight (768) athletes who participated in the study. Data analysis revealed that talent development environments in Ondo State were weak on long-term development focus (m=2.15); poor on quality preparation (m=4.26); strong on communication (m=2.09); poor on understanding the athletes (m=3.51); weak on support network (m=2.26); poor on challenging and supportive environment (m=3.44); and weak on long term development fundamentals (m=2.36). Findings were discussed in relation with the extant literature.

Legislation of criminal acts of corruption is a repressive effort from the government to overcome the expansion of corruption in Indonesia, especially in the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The crime of corruption that cannot be separated from the deep-rooted hierarchy of power, in its application is a crime that is difficult to eradicate. The application of the death penalty as a tool to provide a deterrent effect for perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption, in its implementation is one of the methods of punishment that has many polemics. The legal issues discussed in this article are the complexity of corruption that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the polemic of imposing the death penalty on perpetrators of corruption in the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The research method used in this research is normative juridical or an approach that refers to applicable laws and regulations. The results of writing this article: The high rate of corruption that occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic in its implementation has increased sharply, as well as the complexity of corruption that occurs, in its implementation evenly distributed to all lines, starting from the social assistance corruption, the Asabri case, Jiwasraya, the Pinangki prosecutor bribery case, the bribery case for the mayor of Cimahi, to the land dispute case in Labuan Bajo NTT. In addition, the imposition of the death penalty on perpetrators of criminal acts of corruption in the current COVID-19 pandemic situation also raises many pros and cons.

The main problem discussed in this research is to find out What Are The Weaknesses Of Expired And Ne bis in idem Prosecution Authority In Criminal Code and How Is The Legal Reconstruction Of Expired And Ne bis in idem Prosecution Authority In Criminal Code Based On Justice Value and this problem are researched using the socio-legal research method which relies on the qualitative data obtained by the author in the field where the results are processed using data triangulation to obtain relevant and accurate analysis. The results of the study shows that the factors that Both the expiry provisions stipulated in Articles 78 to 81 of the Criminal Code and the principle of ne bis in idem which are included in Article 76 (1) of the Criminal Code have not been able to meet the value of justice due to the lack of a specific elaboration regarding the reasons that became the basis for the abolition the right of criminal prosecution and the abolition of the authority to prosecute the crime of murder because in the perspective of the expired contained in Criminal Code, it can abort criminal prosecution. Because of this problem, A Legal Reconstruction is needed. as proposed by the author which focuses on two Elaborating the grace period as the reason for the abolition of authority according to the criminal code in the Criminal Code as seen in Article 78 of the Criminal Code.

This research study focuses on the design and construction of an electronic tester using locally soured materials for measuring the concentration of table salt in solution. Salt, also known as table salt is a mineral that is composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), this is a chemical compound belonging to the large class of ionic salts. The operating system consists of sensor, which senses the concentration of salt in solution, the signal amplification unit, which amplifiers the signal from the sensing unit and the display unit, which displays the concentration of salt in various solutions. The realization of the research study was achieved using different components like resistors, capacitors, op-amp, CA3162E, CA3161E and seven segment display. The design parameter was obtained from component calculations configured with the amplification unit to work with the sensing and display unit. These components were connected together on a veroboard with the aid of different tools. After completion of work, the project was tested and the percentage error values obtained by dipping the sensor in salt concentration were 0.58, 1.43, 1.73, 2.10, 2.21 respectively, which was relatively low compared to other electronic salt tester.

Background: The aim of present study is to determine the volume of the mandibular condyle, coronoid process and mandibular body and it’s correlation with age and sex in malocclusions with the help of 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans. Materials and Methods: 3D CBCT (Care stream 9000cc, USA) scans of 150 patients who had Class I, II, and III malocclusions were analyzed with Dolphin Imaging Software V11.9 to measure the volumes of mandibular condyle, coronoid process and mandibular body. Results: In the age group 14.1-18 years, the volume of condyle, coronoid process and body of mandible was noted to be highest. Among the malocclusions studied, the volumes of all 3 variables were maximum in Class I malocclusion. Mean coronoid volume and volume of body of mandible was noted to be higher in males than females while mean condylar volume was higher in females. Conclusions: 3D CBCT morphometry shows volumetric variations in mandible are related to age and type of occlusion. Mandible bone volume also shows sexual dimorphism.
