Law enforcement by deliberation and consensus or Restorative Justice System conducted by the Police and Community
Partnership Forum is another police effort in law enforcement beyond the law enforcement in conformity through the
District Court. Problems reviewed: 1) What is the legal aspect of the Police and Community Partnership Forum? 2) What
is the benefit of the implementation of a criminal case settlement through Deliberation and Consensus or Restorative
Justice for society and the State? 3) What are the obstacles faced by the process? The research that the authors do is a
sociological law study and the approaches used include actual daily practice approaches or empirical statutes, conceptual
approaches and comparative approaches. The deliberative and consensus-based policy on the settlement of criminal
disputes in Indonesia has not been largely regulated while most of the settlement of criminal disputes are resolved
conspicuously through the general criminal court of the District Court. However, in daily practice in the Semarang city
community, there is a criminal dispute settlement through the deliberative and consensus process / Restorative Justice
that is pioneered by the Police and Community Partnership Forum. Restorative Justice's policy in criminal cases has not
been set in Indonesia's positive law, but the future will show the development and attention of Restorative Justice as an
alternative judiciary, evidenced by its accommodation in the judicial law of a child. The conclusion is that in real life
practice there has been a criminal case settlement through the "Restorative Justice System" pioneered by the Police and
Community Partnership Forum, this is a manifestation of the practice of Pancasila values.

This research deals with the effect of integrating Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) strategy with vee diagram
on students’ reading skill. This research was conducted in UMN Alwashiliyah Medan in which the population was all
semester II English students. Two classes with 30 students for each were selected as the sample of the research. To
achieve the aims of the research, quantitative research method was applied with true experimental design. Vee diagram
test was used as the instrument of the research. The study showed that the integration of Directed Reading Thinking
Activity strategy with Vee diagram significantly affected students’ reading skill. The data obtained also showed that
implementing Directed Reading Thinking Activity with Vee diagram significantly affected students’ reading skill.It
could be inferred that as long as cognitive skill was activated by Directed Reading Thinking Activity with Vee diagram,
students’ reading skill will be higher since reading is a cognitive process in which the students have to increase their
cognitive aspect into (C5) synthesis and (C4) analyze in order to be able not only to understandbut also to interpret the
text well.

The Shari’ah controversy is an issue that is burning in the hearts of many Nigerians, as they express their opinions in
books, newspapers, magazines, Mosques, Churches and many other sources of disseminating ideas and beliefs. Most
Christians seem to be antagonists and viewed Muslims as protagonists of Shari’ah through their opinions. This has a
negative impact on Muslim-Christian relations and peaceful co-existence in the country. The Shari’ah in Nigeria has a
long history dating back to the fifteenth century when Rumfa, the Emir of Kano introduced it and the Mais of Borno
(Emperors of Borno Empire) institutionalized Islam as state religion with Shari’ah as a legal code. This study examines
the controversies over the implementation of Shari’ah legal system and how the issue of Shari’ah affects MuslimChristian relations and peaceful co-existence in Nigeria. The paper begins with conceptual discussion about Shari’ah.
This is followed by an account of the history of Shari’ah in Nigeria, colonialism and Shari’ah as well as the bases for
Christians‟ antipathy of Shari’ah implementation in Nigeria. The paper also discusses the impact of Christian perception
of Shari’ah on Muslim-Christian relations and finally makes a conclusion.

Drug therapy is fundamental part of healthcare services. Increased cost of treatment is associated with the poor patient compliance and outcome. So, efforts should be made to choose the drug with minimum cost without affecting efficacy of the drugs. In tropical region like India, fungal infections are more common and some of them are life threatning. These superficial fungal infections require long term therapy significantly increasing the cost of therapy, so the treatment of fungal infection can raise economic burden on the patient. Cost in Indian Rupees (INR) of antifungal agents manufactured by different pharmaceutical companies in India was collected from the Current Index of Medical Specialities (CIMS), July – October 2018 issue. Minimum cost, Maximum cost, Cost ratio, Cost variation were calculated. Forty six percentage drugs show cost variation of more than 75%. In oral dosage form, Itraconazole, fluconazole and terbinafine show the maximum cost variation. In topical single drug therapy clotrimazole and miconazole show maximum cost variation. In topical combination therapy, combination of miconazole+ clobetasol+ gentamycin+ Zn sulphate shows maximum cost variation. There is wide cost variation among antifungal agents available in Indian Market. There is need of strict actions for cost policy regulation and sensitization of doctor for selection of appropriate brand drugs.

The teaching profession has one of the highest numbers of workforce grappling with heavy workload. Excessive
lecturers‟ workload causes adverse effects to both employer and employee. Lecturers are assigned lectures in multiple
independent universities and there is no platform to foster inter-university communication regarding the shared lecturers‟
employment state, tenure and lecturing obligations. Kenya‟s Commission for University Education has guidelines set to
limit the maximum lecturer workload and yet there is no way in which Commission for University Education monitors
and regulates inter-institution lecturers‟ teaching workload. There is the need to employ technology to address this
problem. Hence this study examined quantitative factors used in evaluation of a lecturers‟ teaching workload. A critical
survey of previous studies and current technologies associated with lecturers‟ workload management helped establish the
technological gaps to be filled by a web-based model for monitoring inter-institution lecturer‟s teaching workload in
institutions of higher learning. The methodology adopted by this research is the triangulation methodology while a proof
of concept methodology was applied to develop and test the model. The research questions were answered through
engaging industry experts in a validation exercise. The model‟s properties validated included confidentiality, integrity,
availability, user interface and viability. During focus groups, the model‟s confidentiality attribute received the lowest
rating of the five evaluated attributes. Participants acknowledged the need to monitor lecturers‟ workload to help in
policy formulation and ultimately improve lecturers‟ competency. Management, human and technical challenges are
anticipated during the adoption phase of the model. Feedback received from part of the participants also indicated that the
model would be an efficient tool in safeguarding lecturers against burnout arising from heavy workload.
