The advent of Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers new opportunities to further harness the efficiency of construction projects. Hence, to implement a BIM project in construction projects successfully without unforeseen confusion and troubles, the factors affecting the project's success must be identified and managed effectively. The research objectives are to identify the CSFs for enhancing BIM implementation and investigate the interrelationships among these CSFs. Fifty-one success factors are identified through literature review and a questionnaire survey is conducted among 345 participants. The results identified 15 factors as the most critical ones among the identified 51 factors, with the “coordination between all project parties“ranked the top. These fifteen significant factors have been grouped into an integrated structural framework that can help to enhance BIM implementation in construction projects. Also, this study developed a framework to measure the performance of BIM implementation which would help to follow the progress of BIM implementation along the project life cycle.

This article discusses legal pluralism and how conflicts are managed when multiple systems operate on given events. It sheds light on the case of Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's CFO, in Vancouver, Canada, who is currently facing extradition proceedings to the United States. The case sheds light on issues that can arise where legal systems overlap, in this case, those of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), which have distinct mandates and operate under a separate legislative authority. It tackles how they are jointly involved in Ms Meng's detention, interrogation and ultimate arrest and the need for an independent oversight of the CBSA which remains the only policing service within Canada that does not have some form of independent oversight body.

Names are an important aspect in African culture given that the African does not name his or her children for naming sake. In most cases, names are given based on certain historical events or facts which can be peculiar to an individual, a family or the community as a whole. This is the case with the Papiackum community, a speech community situated in the Ngoketunjia Division, North West region of the Republic of Cameroon. This paper aims at analysing some of the proverbial names of this community to show that they are speech acts grounded on individual, family or collective history. From the theoretical paradigm of Social Semiotics, this study is based on the prism that Papiackum proverbial names are semiotic resources whose meanings are linked to their historical context. In this light, these names help to safeguard the history of the people for posterity while fostering social progress.

Hemorrhagic complications from anticoagulants are very common. Their occurrence in a critical site such as the upper airways constitutes a vital emergency. Management must ensure antagonization of the anticoagulant effect and freedom of the upper airways. We will illustrate this through a clinical case with all the clinical signs that can alert a hematoma of the upper airways, the reversion strategies of old and new anticaogulants and respiratory management. We recommend admitting the patient to an intensive care unit, withholding anticoagulants and administering vitamin K and prothrombin complex concentrate as a means of reversing AVK. For direct oral anticoagulants, their cessation may be sufficient, otherwise non-specific reversion means are used, given the unavailability of antidotes apart from Idarucizumab for Dabigatran. For respiratory management we recommend a conservative attitude and in case of deterioration of the respiratory function a nasotracheal intubation under endoscopic guidance by an experienced doctor should be done. The resumption of anticoagulants must be decided according to the benefit risk ratio while involving the patient too and also taking into consideration the possibility of changing anticoagulants.

The Republic of Cameroon today torn apart by a seemingly failing effort of integration was established by reunifying two former factors of German Kamerun in 1961. This created in the new republic two constitutional identities; the Anglophone and the Francophone each made of an area and a people having been governed by the United Kingdom and France respectively under international supervision since the end of the First World War. The ensuing reunifying constitution made integrating these factions capital. This integration, the Anglophone faction have recurrently blamed for being bias as it subjected them to marginalisation. In this paper, note is taken of the array of literature on marginalisation to make an analyses of the efforts made by government in response to the expressions of marginalisation as decried by Anglophones. The paper observes existing realness in Anglophone marginalisation and argues that since reunification, government has continuously made responses to the plight of Anglophones though most often, these efforts are half-baked and emerge largely as a result of resistances which are at times violent from the marginalised minority. To this extent, marginalisation has continued unabated making the achievement of national integration problematic.

The study examined the perceptions of lecturers on the effects of English for specific purposes (ESP) on learner academic proficiency in Nigerian universities, using primary data sourced from a field survey in three selected Nigerian universities. The study was based on the ESP framework and the researcher set an acceptance criterion value of 2.5 for the study. The researcher combined structured interviews and a questionnaire to obtain data from respondents who are all lecturers in Nigerian universities. The data were analyzed with the Likert scale and other statistical tools such as mean, simple percentages and significant ratios. The study calculated a weighted mean value of 3.02 and found that 92% of the respondents to the interviews identified various ESP language skills as significant factors in enhancing student academic proficiency. Based on the weighted mean value of 3.02 which is greater than the acceptance criterion value of 2.5, the study observed that to a large extent, ESP has positive effects on academic proficiency of students in Nigerian universities. Following these findings, the study concluded that ESP enhances the performance of undergraduates in their chosen courses of study. It therefore recommended, among others that ESP should become part of compulsory courses in various departments as a way of improving academic proficiency of students in their chosen courses of study.

Polycystic ovary syndrome, also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome is a common health problem that affects teenage girls and young women. PCOS is associated with a wide spectrum of complications in various parts of health, including reproductive, metabolic and psychological features. This Analytical case control study was conducted to Assessment of Lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme Super oxide dismutase, Glutathione and Serum Homocysteine level in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Khartoum State in which include 300 participant divided into 200 case and 100 control, the sample used to measure Homocysteine , Glutathione, Lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase level in serum of participant of high body mass index in case group and normal body mass index for the control by using spectrophotometer machine . out of 300 sample divided into 200 case and 100 control , the mean and standard deviation of the total glutathione was found mean 801.30 and the reduced glutathione 132.2 while in control 748.6,103.2 respectively, and for Super oxide dismutase mean and standard deviation was found 225.2, ± 57.8 in case while in control found 195.5, ± 25.6 respectively and Homocysteine mean and standard deviation found 14.9, ± 2.1 for case and 12.1 , ± 2.5 for control lastly also the mean and standard deviation investigated while the lipid peroxidation was found 3.4 , ± 1.1 for case and 2.4 , ± 0.7 Respectively. the total glutathione mean and standard deviation in group of <5 years disease duration PCOS found 1559.6 ,± 282.6 and for duration of >5 years of disease the total glutathione mean and standard deviation found 1196.9 , ± 253.9 regarding superoxide dismutase mean and standard deviation in group of <5 years disease duration was found 227.1 , ± 57.4 and for duration of >5 years of disease the superoxide dismutase mean and standard deviation was found 222.4 , ± 58.8.The Homocysteine mean and standard deviation in group of <5 years disease duration was found14.9 , ± 2.2 and for duration of >5 years of PCOS disease found 14.8 , ± 1.9 The age interval have low glutathione mean and standard deviation among age of 15-30 year 60(30%) found 804.5 , ± 118.8Hemoctoseine mean and standard deviation in age 15-30 year found 15.3 , ± 2.5. Polycystic ovarian syndrome could be a dilemma for many women of reproductive ages irrespective of their reproductive disorders; should incorporate assessment of lipid profiles and possibly oxidative stress markers.

Background: The scientific framework gives us the sociology of science and Polish theory of physical culture. We should see all processes holistically, in dimensions of time, context and becoming. Aim: The author describes and attempts to explain the situation of science in Poland in the “physical culture sciences” A.D. 2020. What are problems, trends, and possibilities? Method: The main methods are: sources analysis, and scientific literature content analysis - a broad discourse. Results and Conclusions: A more holistic, systemic approach resulting from the new paradigm will allow the logical coherence of physical culture sciences to be maintained. Overarching general theory can be the foundation for detailed theories. These sciences, as interdisciplinary, should maintain relative independence or autonomy.

Film is an aspect of media as media is also an integral part of the agents of socialization. There are facts to show that films of which the brand name Nollywood is part of, being the second largest movie industry in the world in terms of film output, has strong ties with determining behavioral attitudes of its audience. This in relation with peace implies that Nollywood films could influence peace or violence attitudes. Earlier works have adopted theories from the field of peace studies in addressing the impact of Nollywood films but this work adopts theories from the field of peace studies and film studies it also used these theories in answering the research questions. Consequently this research therefore assessed the extent to which Nollywood promotes the culture of peace or the culture of violence, determining the key themes in Nollywood films and also its impact on its audience and the society at large. The research adopted Social Learning theory, Structural Functionalism theory and Cultivation theory for the investigation. The documentary research design is also adopted for this research. Primary and secondary data is gotten from the films selected and also through focus group discussion. The researcher through purposive sampling selects 5 films (Last Flight to Abuja, October 1, Dry, ’76 and Alter Ego) that got nominated or won Best film of the year at the African Magic Viewer’s Choice Award (AMVCA) from 2014-2018 with a sample size of 3,381 films. The focus group discussion had a target of 50 participants but got 34 participants, a semi structured interview guide was created and content analysis was used to analyze data. From the study, the following finds were reached. Nollywood films promote the culture of peace with a total of 11.6%, Nollywood films also promote the culture of violence with a total of 25.2%. The following themes were derived from the research Cultural promotion, patriotism, education, gender based violence, Structural Violence, Justice, Nudity, Tribalism and Romance, Crime. The research has being able to establish that Nollywood influences the behavioral pattern of its audience and also affects and influences the society being a part in a whole, it has ethical responsibilities. It can therefore be concluded that Nollywood promotes the culture of Violence while discouraging the culture of peace. From the research it is also determined that Nollywood have key themes in which the audience and viewers can derive when they watch the films. Nollywood is a part in a whole and not a standalone entity in the society. Nollywood also influences the behavioral patterns of its viewers. The researcher recommends that Peace scholars be co-opted into the Nigerian film and video censor board so as to contribute positively in identifying violent films so as to reduce its spread admits film lovers in Nigeria. The researcher also recommends that filmmakers should understand that they have ethical responsibilities to their audience and so contents in the films must be well crafted so as not to pass the wrong message.

The continuing haemorrhagic nature of Boko Haram calls for an exhaustive discourse on the veracity or otherwise claim of President Buhari’s government of “technically defeating” the terrorist group as quickly as possible once elected. This paper examines the evolving and sustained onslaught of Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria against the backdrop of government insistence that the sect has been substantially degraded; the index to the contrary is worrying and alarming for the citizens to bear. This has thrown up a ferocious debate about the claim and counterclaim across the political divide and even the country in recent times. However, regardless of what opinion one holds, the sheer scale of brutality of the sect after government’s continuous claim that it has been degraded in the face of sustained military offensive, both by ground forces and air interdiction operations imply that the sect is resilient and yet to be degraded. This paper, therefore, attempts to provide explanatory narratives on the prevalent realities and also opines that even though the counter-insurgency operation presaged the emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari; and having inherited the “war” more needs to be done in the immediate years of his presidency. That the Boko Haram sect continues to run rampage is simply unacceptable in the face of his campaign promise to defeat the sect within the shortest possible time of his ascendancy to the highest office in the land. The paper concludes that terrorism currently assailing the Nigerian state requires a critical examination with appropriate solutions rather than government’s tepid claims that continues to be challenged by a sect that has evidently grown more audacious in the intervening years since it first evolved in 2009.

The present review paper highlights the condition of biodiversity and its conservation in Balochistan, Pakistan.

Moreover, to enhance and maintain the scenic view of province, different innovative practices are needed to conserve and protect the biodiversity from future threats. Furthermore, this paper sensitizes the readers about the consequences of improper conservation practices that can lead towards future destruction. It also throws light on the fact that it is necessary to protect and conserve the biological diversity in appropriate manner to minimize the overall impacts towards biodiversity and to protect the biodiversity from future vanishing threats.

An outburst of pneumonia in December, 2019 in Wuhan, China, has now been gritty to be caused by a novel corona virus. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona-virus (SARS-CoV) named is allotted for this novel threads. The disease has spread more than 185 countries and regions, with more than 2.05 million confirmed cases and more than 1,34,354 deaths as of April 16, 2020. The pandemic is enduring to spread inspite of worldwide efforts. The SS-RNA virus from the enveloped corona virus family caused SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) which is life threatening viral infection.The spreading of infection is quick in many countries of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) called COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. There are numerous drug trials going on with some positive results. Though, since no vaccine is available, the best way to fight the virus is by preventive measures. In the present research an attempt had been made to find new COVID-19 main protease inhibitor by molecular docking approach. Fexofenadine is an antihistamine that is used to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergies (hay fever) in adults and children. Fexofenadine is also used to treat skin itching and hives caused by a condition called chronic idiopathic urticaria in adults and children at least 6 years old. Fexofenadine was taken as drug which follows Lippinski’s rule of five, thus having very good drug score as well as drug likeness score. The present study reveals that Doxycycline has good binding affinity with COVID-19 protease and thus can be used as prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment for corona patient.

The aim of the study was to ascertain the knowledge attitude and practices of Indian medical students towards post mortem body donation. An online questionnaire was sent to 150 students who have witnessed and performed human cadaver dissection. Even though most of the respondents are aware of the existence of the practice of body donation (98% aware) and are direct beneficiaries of it, a substantial number of them lack an understanding of the laws governing body donation (only 32.7% are aware of the Indian Anatomy Act, 1948 and 26.5% of the Karnataka Anatomy Act, 1957?) and a majority are hesitant to donate their own body for medical research and learning (46.9% are willing to donate). The reason for unwillingness to donate their body could be stemming from hesitation to be the first one in their peer/family circle to pledge to donate (87.8% have no one close to them who has donated), an apprehension that their body will be ill-treated (26.5%), opposition from family/friends (61.2%) and religious beliefs (53.1%).

Water is the most indispensable nature resource in the world for every living being waterborne diseases most commonly are transmitted in contaminated fresh water. Infection commonly results during bathing, washing, drinking, in the preparation of food, or the consumption of food thus infected. Objectives: To assess the Level of Knowledge Regarding Water Borne Diseases and its Prevention among mothers of Under Five Children. To find the association of knowledge among mothers of under five children with selected demographic variables. Methodology: A quantitative approach with Descriptive research design was used.

The study was done to assess the knowledge and practice on prevention of waterborne diseases among mothers of children below five years of age.

The present study was aimed at studying the impact of stress on mental health among youth with reference to Madhubani district of North Bihar, India. This study was conducted to assess the levels of mental health among youth and the relationship of the mental health with stress. Total sample of the study consisted of one hundred (N=100) youth comprising male (n=50) and female (n=50) which were randomly selected from different areas of locality of Madhubani town – a well – known town of North Bihar. It is generally expected that the most affected group in our own nation - India is youth especially in North Bihar region of Bihar State due to day today increasing unemployment. Thus, they have been found to spend most of the time with their friends and stay outside the home due to unemployment. They were bound to stay at home most of the time but no engagement with friends and with other social circles in the mean time. Hence, to achieve the target of the study, the intention of the present researchers was to study the levels of mental health in relation to stress of the particular group by using questionnaires schedules of Mental Health Scale developed by Jagdish and Srivastava (1983) and Perceived Stress Scale developed by Naik and Khan (2018) were used to collect the data from youths of Madhubani town. After collecting the information on the items of the schedules, the individual scores were obtained as per norms and procedures of the scales as given by authors and were given statistical treatment. Finally obtained results had shown that mental health and perceived stress variables are negatively correlated with each other among youth. Moreover, significant difference has been found on different dimensions of mental health and in total as well between the group of male and female youth belonging to Madhubani district. It is very interesting to note that male youth had scored higher degree on mental health schedule than female youth. Thus, the discrepancy of the obtained results has been discussed in detail by giving the probable reasons in the light of the activities prevailing now in Madhubani district of North Bihar, India.
