This paper estimates the impacts of external financing on market risk for the listed firms in the Viet nam software industry, esp. after the financial crisis 2007-2009. First, by using quantitative and analytical methods to estimate asset and equity beta of total 6 listed companies in Viet Nam software industry with a proper traditional model, we found out that the beta values, in general, for many institutions are acceptable. Second, under 3 different scenarios of changing leverage (in 2011 financial reports, 30% up and 20% down), we recognized that the risk level, measured by equity and asset beta mean, decreases (0,284) when leverage increases to 30% and vice versa. Third, by changing leverage in 3 scenarios, we recognized the dispersion of risk level increases (measured by equity beta var) if the leverage increases to 30%. Finally, this paper provides some outcomes that could provide companies and government more evidence in establishing their policies in governance.

Though it has been rightly said that what is wrong with education cannot be fixed with technology; there is no doubt that modern life is dominated by technology. There is universal recognition of the need to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education as we enter the era of globalization where the free flow of information via satellite and the internet hold sway in global information dissemination of knowledge. Information and communication technology (ICT) is being increasingly utilized for the purpose of meeting challenges facing humanity. It is now recognized that ICT is a helpful instrument for facilitating teaching and learning at all levels. Yet the application of ICT to the field of education in third world countries is highly limited even at the tertiary level. In such nations, not only do teachers generally lack ICT skills, but there is scarcity of infrastructural resources to support teaching and learning activities. In modern society, Nigeria needs ICT to aid teaching and learning and educational management. This presentation examines the necessity for the acquisition and utilization of ICT skills by professional teachers and reports challenges faced in a third world country (Nigeria) as well as prospects of ICT to teaching and learning.

The aim of this study is to examine the impact of globalization on real estate development in Nigeria. The motivation for
this study lies in the compelling need to empirically investigate the spillovers of globalization on the development of real
estate in Nigeria in which past studies have not sufficiently explored. Data were collected from the UNCTAD, WDI and
Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin from 1990 to 2016. Consequently, the long-run effect indicates that FDI and
real estate development have a significant positive relationship in Nigeria. In addition, there is one way feedback
relationship which runs from FDI to real estate development in the country. This implies that globalization has been
beneficial to the development of real estate sub sector in Nigeria. Moreover, this paper makes the following
recommendations for the policy makers, investors and future researchers in the country. The spillovers of globalization
on real estate sectors development in Nigeria should not be undermined. Therefore, the policy makers in the country
should embark on policy measures that will ensure a conducive climate for foreign investors to thrive in this sector of the
economy. Also, the federal government of Nigeria should not hesitate to address all the institutional hurdles that could
frustrate the maximum spillover benefits of globalization in real estate development in the nearest future in this country

Background and Objectives: MTA is the material of choice for Pulp capping, Apexogenesis, Apexification, Perforation
repair and as well as for Root end filling. In this in vitro study, different mixing reagents were tested and their effect on
the compressive strength, at different pH, was evaluated when MTA was mixed, individually with each of them.
Materials and Method: A total 40 samples were prepared, 10 samples each for four mixing reagents. MTA (white) was
mixed with four mixing reagents and condensed into split thickness molds after which it was allowed to set for 72 hours.
After removing the samples from mold, samples were kept in freshly prepared Phosphate buffer saline solution at
different pH (5.0 and 7.0) for 7 days after which they were removed from PBS and dried overnight before testing with
Universal Testing Machine for compressive strength. Results were statistically analysed. Results: There was no
significant difference found in compressive strength when comparison was done between sterile water and 1% Sodium
hypochlorite at pH 7.0 and at pH 5.0. Within group comparison revealed, minimum changes in compressive strength with
change in pH from 5 to 7 in Group I (MTA + Sterile water) while maximum was obtained in Group II (MTA +
Metrogyl). In Group III (MTA + Sodium hypochlorite), a decrease in compressive strength was seen as pH decreased;
however, the difference between pH 5 and 7 was not statistically different. Conclusion: All the groups tested showed a
good compressive strength except MTA + Chlorhexidine group which did not set even after 7 days and amongst the
group, MTA + Metrogyl exhibited better compressive strength. No significant difference was found at pH 5.0 and 7.0
among the group.

Our study is based on a retrospective analysis of 18 cases of fibroma and pregnancy association in the maternity of CHU HASSAN II Fez MOROCCO over a period from 2014 to 2018 and whose purpose is to study maternal and fetal morbidity during fibroid association and pregnancy and to remind the therapeutic attitude vis-à-vis fibroids during pregnancy. The frequency of this association is 0.37%. It occurs mainly in women older than 30 years. Primiparous most often. In 61, 11% the diagnosis of fibroma was made for the first time during the pregnancy. Aseptic necrobiosis relatively frequent, accounting for 22.22% of all complications, it has evolved well under medical treatment. Although dystocic presentations, premature rupture of membranes, miscarriages and threats of premature delivery are frequently encountered, pregnancy is in most cases around the term. The delivery took place in 47.05% by Caesarean. The maternal and fetal prognosis is excellent. Treatment remains based on abstinence and regular clinical and ultrasound monitoring. Myomectomy during pregnancy is to be reserved for the torsion of pedicled fibroma and necrobiosis resistant to medical treatment. The association fibroid and pregnancy is not rare, the complications are frequent hence its membership in the lot of high-risk pregnancies. Early detection of complications and prevention of delivery hemorrhage would reduce maternal and fetal morbidity.

homes in their country for one reason or the other. This issue has assumed a significant dimension of great concern all over the world with the African sub-region being the highest victim. Internally Displaced Persons face grave dangers in their home countries as they are vulnerable economically, psychologically socially, religiously and even politically. Apart from the pronounced refugees, they constitute a major group of the vulnerable persons. They could be referred to as “refugees” in their home country. The only difference between them and the refugees is that they are still within the geographical circumference of their nationality. Economically, their means of livelihood is cut off either as farmers, fishermen, or petty traders, or artisans; psychologically and socially, they are not in good frame of mind and have lost their natural homestead and habitation, cut off from their traditional and cultural environment, distanced from their gods and deities and therefore cannot worship their gods; from the political point of view, their civil rights and obligations are even denied sometimes may be not deliberately but because of the circumstances of relocation to areas where it may not be convenient for them to exercise such rights. In Africa generally and in particular Nigeria, the issue of IDPs has become a common phenomenon and of great concern to both the government and voluntary organizations. This paper which will concentrate on Nigeria will examine the causes of displacement of people in Nigeria, the efforts made by the Government as well as legal/institutional framework for the protection of IDPs, and how far the efforts of Government have helped in alleviating the plight of IDPs. Some recommendations are made as part of the concluding remarks.

Background: Spleen is an essential organ due to its significant role in immunological and haematological functions of the body. Splenic notches on various borders establish the lobulation of the spleen in early life. Aim: To study the morphological and morphometric parameters of the spleen in aborted foetuses Materials and Methods: 30 foetal spleen specimens (Male-14; Female-16) of both sexes from 12-40 weeks of gestational age were obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Santhiram Medical College, Nandyal. The morphometric parameters like length, width, thickness and weight of the foetal spleen were measured and recorded Results: The incidence of wedge shape was 23 (76.66%), the pyramidal shape was 6(20%), and leaf-shaped was 1(3.33%). The incidence of the single notch was observed in 19 (63.33%), two notches in 9(30%), and three notches in 2(6.66%) specimens were found in the present study. The parameters like length, width, thickness, and weight of the fetal spleen were increased in relation to the gestational age in the present study. Conclusion: The present study acknowledges the anatomical and morphological basis of the spleen may be helpful for the surgeons while doing partial splenectomy in the removal of the affected segment by ligating the segmental branch of the splenic artery.
