This paper examined the Local Content Act, 2010 in the oil and gas industry in Nigeria and its operability and realisation of the aims and objectives. Human capacity-building and development of the local populace by giving opportunity to Nigerians to be effectively involved in the industry as a cardinal objective was so far given reasonable attention, as against the hitherto monopoly of the industry by foreigners. Job opportunities resulted and taken by Nigerians for skilled and unskilled workers; even as many Nigerians received various trainings for skills acquisition. The paper noted gaps to be filled as the level of expertise of Nigerians still fall short of expectation. It recommended measures to improve the realisation of the objectives of the Act such as aggressive investment in research and development to enhance transfer of technology.

Crime prevention are an integral part of efforts to protect society (social defense). In a context of the criminal justice system, the function of criminal law is to provide protection for the rights and interests of individuals, both perpetrators and victims of criminal law. The research is an empirical legal research. The results show that the essence of the claim for compensation for crime victims in national regulations is an effort made by providing a place for crime victims to obtain justice, benefit and legal certainty as an objective of the law. The mechanism for claiming compensation for crime victims has never been prosecuted for compensation by the public prosecutor. Hence, the ideal concept of the provisions in the claim for compensation can be done through regulations in compensation claims both for restitution and compensation in the implementing rules both material and formal criminal law.

Microplastics come from various types of materials in the form of pieces, fibres, fragments, granules, slabs, or tiny flakes between 0.1-5000 µm. It is very resistant to degradation and is insoluble in water. Microplastics are widely distributed in the oceans, sediments, land, and consumed by marine organisms such as fish and shellfish. This study aims to describe the presence of microplastics in the faeces of pregnant women. This type of research is an analytic observation with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study amounted to thirty pregnant women. Data obtained through interviews using a questionnaire and examination of faeces samples. The results showed that all stool samples contained microplastics. The number of microplastics found ranged from 5 to 21 microplastics with the types of fiber, fragments, and films. The length of the microplastics ranges from 0.2 - 4.9 mm. It is concluded that ingested microplastics are disposed of through feces but the residue will accumulate in the body and can pose health risks in the long term. Encouraging the role of the government through education and regulation so that the community obeys and does not throw garbage anywhere.

The strong hope of realizing a just, advanced, and prosperous Sambas community is an ideal that has been embedded for a long time, especially after the Madurese and Malay Ethnic Conflict in Sambas Regency in 1999. In an effort to help realize this goal, the writer feels the needs to conduct research on this subject matter with the main problem discussed in this article that are divided in to what factors that cause inter-ethnic conflict in Sambas and to then analyze the new construction of the legal culture of the society that was developed by the Madurese and Sambas Malay ethnicities in order to further increase the conflict recovery based on the value of justice. This study uses a constructivism paradigm with a socio-legal research approach. The results showed that the ethnocentric and exclusive attitude of the Madurese ethnic group made social interactions with the Sambas Malay ethnic destructive, in the form of a social conflict that ended with the expulsion of the Madurese ethnicity from Sambas Regency. This is exacerbated by differences in origins, cultural values as the basis for differences, also due to the ethnocentric and exclusivistic character of the Madurese as a trigger for conflict, and the weak rule of law as a factor that further widens the life gap between the two ethnic groups where in this case, is a new reconstruction of legal culture, that the Madurese ethnic needs to reposition cultural values in the context of adaptation/adjustment, so that they can be accepted back in Sambas Regency, because they are able to adapt socially and adapt, in the form of multiculturalism education for basic education and middle school, Islamic boarding schools, and aculturation in a form of marriages between Madurese and Dayak as the People of Sambas.

The most talented and wise teachers with a lot of training and expertise in most cases become unable to contribute effectively in developing learners’ skills when unfortunately their teaching styles do not meet learners’ needs. So, it is definitely important to evaluate teachers’ teaching styles by the learners for getting clear conception about teaching effectiveness. Though this is not the only means of assessing effective teaching, it is still an unavoidable concept where the reflections provided by both male and female learners require to be considered equally and accordingly. Universally, every individual is unique in his/her thinking with certain differences and sometimes he/she also keeps similar understandings with others on some points – this is also true for language learners. Keeping this in mind, this paper attempted to collect the opinions of tertiary level Bangladeshi English language learners concerning their teachers’ competencies with main focus on checking out whether there are thought differences or similarities between male and female learners regarding the issue. For the purpose of the study, data from 99 students (39 male, 60 female) of Level-1, Semester-1 under the Faculty of Fisheries, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) was collected who took part in the survey for evaluating the qualities of their existing three English language teachers.

The potentiality of yoga to improve V̇O2max is often questioned because of its low exercise stimulus. Considering the positive effects of Yoga Breathing Maneuvers (YBM) on cardio-respiratory systems, its effect on V̇O2max needs to be studied. So, possible role of YBM in improvement in V̇O2max in yoga training was observed.32 healthy male students of 19 to 21 years of age were divided into two equal groups of 16 each. One group (YG) practiced yoga (Yogasanas, YBM and meditation) for 40 minutes every day for 6 days per week for 3 months. YBM were progressively inducted by increasing practice duration throughout training. Other group (CG) did not practice Yoga. Their basal heart rate (HR) and respiratory rate (RR) were recorded in the morning in bed. Predicted V̇O2max was measured on them by Queen’s college step test. HR was recorded before, during and after exercise manually and with Polar sports tester. All the parameters were recorded at baseline, 6th and 12th week end of yoga training.In YG, V̇O2max improved from baseline (47.5±3.7 ml/kg/min) to 6th week (49.4±3.3 ml/kg/min, P<0.001) and 12th week end (53.03±3.3ml/kg/min, P<0.0001). YG showed significant reduction in basal RR, HR and resting HR at 6th and 12th week end compared to their respective base line values. CG did not show such changes. V̇O2max was correlated to basal RR(r= – 0.463, p=0.0009), HR (r= -0.235, p=0.107) and resting HR (r= -0.414, p=0.003). YBM facilitated the improvement in V̇O2max possibly by its effects on cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Aim: To study the correlation of varying degrees of iron deficiency anemia with reactive thrombocytosis. Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia is a very common entity in women belonging to reproductive age group of 15-49 years. Iron deficiency anemia is also a causative factor for reactive thrombocytosis in most cases. The relationship of thrombocytosis in iron deficiency anemia is not yet understood properly. This study was undertaken to correlate the various degrees of thrombocytosis in association with various degrees of anemia. Materials and methods: A total number of 500 female patients belonging to the reproductive age group of 15-49 years, attending the out-patient and in- patient departments, who were identified to have iron deficiency anemia and thrombocytosis which was confirmed with relevant hematological studies including peripheral smear studies done in Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital, Chennai were included in the study during the period of November 2018 to May 2019. Results: The current study helps in correlation and evaluation of varying degrees of iron deficiency anemia and reactive thromocytosis, which can be used to determine the treatment approach.
