Like most African countries, Cameroon benefits from the advantages of the use of Information and Communication Technologies. Faced with the emergence of the digital economy that influences all of contemporary society, there is the emergence and high consumption of computer, technological and electronic equipment by urban and rural populations in Cameroon. In Yaounde, this situation is observed in the popularisation of the mobile phone, the creation of startups, multimedia centers and especially the use of computers of all kinds. This digital economy is at the origin of the emergence of new actors whose main role is the maintenance of this increasingly sophisticated technological equipment.In the city of Yaoundé, these actors work daily in centers or structures that ensure the maintenance of the said devices in case of breakdown or mishandling. This research analyses the socio-economic and spatial implications of handling these technological equipment in Yaoundé. It is based on ab survey of 203 Yaounde's technology and electronics repair workshops conducted between 2014 and 2017, as well as direct interviews with 192 customers who solicited and obtained the services of these micro-enterprises. Thus, the implantations of the micro-computer and technological maintenance companies in this city have considerable socio-economic and spatial consequences through the creation of jobs and incomes as well as the undeniable strategies of the actors both in the conquest of the market and the occupation of urban space and the territory of Yaounde.

The majority of plants used in traditional medicine can have toxic effects. Two hundred grams of vegetable powder of each species were macerated, then filtered under vacuum on a Büchner. Tests for the detection of large groups of phytochemicals were carried out. Microbiological quality control has aimed mainly at Salmonella, yeasts and molds, total coliforms and fecal coliforms. The study of acute toxicity was conducted according to guideline 423 of the OECD protocol and subacute toxicity was studied from guideline 407 of the OECD. The blood samples were taken from the fasted rats and under anesthesia with diethyl ether. The hematological parameters were measured by the Medonic (Beckman coulteur-USA-). The masses obtained after drying the macerate in an oven at 50 °C were 28 g and 9.3 g respectively for Picralima nitida and Musanga cecropioides with respective yields of 14% and 4.65%. The tests for microbial germs likely to reveal the contamination of the extracts were negative. There were no anomalies in the parameters studied during acute toxicity, except for the aggressiveness of rats during the first day. No deaths have been recorded. The LD50 is therefore greater than 5000 mg/Kg. After twenty-eight days of observation during the study of subacute toxicity, variations in numerous parameters studied were observed in different batches. The average body weights of rats in all batches increased during the observation period. Analysis of the biochemical parameters of the rats' blood showed that many parameters were higher in the control group than in the treated groups.
The challenge of adapting William Shakespeare’s Hamlet for the screen has preoccupied cinema from its earliest days. After a survey of the silent Hamlet productions, the paper critically examines Asta Nielsen’s Hamlet: The Drama of Vengeance by noting how her main character is really a woman. My discussion of the modern productions of Shakespeare begins with a critical discussion of Lawrence Olivier’s seminal production of 1948. The Russian Hamlet of 1964, directed by Grigori Kozintsev, is shown to combine a psychological interpretation of the hero without disregarding its socio-political context. The action-film genre deployed by Franco Zeffirelli in his 1990 adaptation of the play, through a moving performance by Mel Gibson, is analysed. Kenneth Branagh’s ambitious and well-financed production of 1996 is shown to be somewhat marred by its excesses. Michael Almereyda’s attempt to present Shakespeare’s hero in a contemporary setting is shown to have powerful moments despite its flaws. The paper concludes that Shakespeare’s masterpiece will continue to fascinate future generations of directors, actors and audiences.
Food allergy is defined as an adverse immune-mediated response, which arises on exposure to a given food and is absent during prevention. The prevalence of food allergies has been increasing in the past twenty years and it represents a major public health problem in industrialized countries. Management of food allergy includes allergen avoidance or emergency treatment. An increasing appearance of allergies and atopic disorders, such as asthma, dermatitis, and rhinitis, has been observed in recent decades. Epidemiological studies show a global increase in the prevalence of food allergy all over the world and manifestations of food allergy appear increasingly frequent also in elderly subjects. Henceforth, food allergy has become an increasing concern for families, clinicians, and policymakers. Several healthcare surveys, and results from longitudinal cohort studies around the globe indicate that food allergy imposes a growing burden to the world.

Introduction: Preterm neonates have deranged thyroid hormones levels often characterized by low T3/FT3 and often low to normal T4/FT4 and TSH levels. Thus, it may be essential to find the pattern of thyroid hormones levels in preterm in comparison to term neonates, the status of HPT axis in preterms and occurrence of Transient Hypothyroxinemia of Prematurity (THOP) in this part of globe, since serum FT3 and FT4 levels are correlated with TSH levels after establishment of HPT axis. We have focussed on these hormones in our study. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Northern India including 100 neonates in the study group (33 preterm and 67 term neonates as per gestational age). FT3, FT4 and TSH were estimated by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) using diagnostic kits from Roche Diagnostics. The history of maternal illness, gestational age and birth weight of each neonate was recorded. Results: All the three hormones i.e. FT3, FT4 and TSH were significantly lower in preterm in comparison to term neonates. In term neonates FT3 was significantly correlated to both FT4 (r=0.453; p=0.00) and TSH (r=0.299; p=0.014) while no such correlation was found in preterm neonates. Discussion: Both sick euthyroid (low T3 syndrome) and transient hypothyroxinemia of premature infants (THOP) are noticed in pereterm neonates. The causes of low T3 syndrome may include hypoxemia, acidosis, infections, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia, malnutrition, transient secondary/tertiary hypothyroidism, transient primary hypothyroidism and permanent primary hypothyroidism while THOP may be caused by iodine deficiency, maternal thyrotropin receptor blocking antibodies, maternal intake of anti-thyroid drugs, maternal or neonatal iodine exposure, loss of function mutations and hepatic haemangioma(20), maternal hyperthyroidism, prematurity and drugs. Since it may lead to undesirable neurodevelopmental outcome, thyroid hormones supplementation in preterms should be cautiously studied in larger sample size. Also, these factors must be considered while screening for congenital hypothyroidism.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the penal mediation that does not aim to achieve formal justice and the practice of penal mediation at the Manokwari Police Department. The research method is normative legal research, using a statute and conceptual approach. The collected legal materials are then analyzed qualitatively, then presented descriptively. The results showed that the dimension of mediation of the penalties achieved was not formal justice through the Criminal Justice sub-system regulated in formal legal regulations. From a juridical perspective, mediation of penalties in the dimensions of state law (ius constitutum) is actually not well known and still leaves controversy, among those who agree and disagree to be applied. The essential issue leads to the choice of a pattern of criminal dispute resolution, related to the domain of state superiority with the superiority of the local wisdom community. The practice of mediating penalties at the Manokwari Police Department in the last 3 years (2017, 2018 and 2019) the number of criminal cases every year has always increased in number, as well as the mediation of cases conducted by the Manokwari Police Department each year experiencing an increase in the number of criminal cases being mediated.

The volume and quality of online data has increased tremendously. Retrieval of such data relies so much on efficient methods. In recent times, information retrieval looks to the intelligence-based and inductive learning methods, such as genetic algorithm, neural networks and machine learning. Researchers however, have leverage on these newer techniques in order to enhance the retrieval capabilities and information processing of current information storage and retrieval systems. These methods provide various degrees of accuracy. But how effective are these methods and which of them is better suited for the information retrieval task? This paper investigates the efficiency of the selected algorithms: Artificial Neural Network, Support vector machine, and Genetic Algorithm, on designing the model for efficient and intelligent information retrieval. The selected algorithms were critically studied in line with the available matching models for information retrieval. Models like the Vector space model, Binary model, probabilistic models, Inverted Index, Latent semantic Analysis and the Latent Semantic Index models were respectively examined. The result from the experimentation from the respective algorithms shows that the neural network, in combination with Genetic algorithm or alone, performs better. However, it takes more time to execute.
