The pace of life is closely related to people’s health, especially chronic diseases. This paper takes the life behaviors of college students as the research object and carries out an investigation and analysis based on the network. The results showed that the sleep regularity of college students on weekdays was poor, and 21.01% of them had irregular sleep habits. On weekends, even 55.07% of the students sleep very irregularly. For the regularity of students’ getting up, they can get up regularly on weekdays, but very irregularly on weekends. Usually, although college students have a wide range of contacts, still about 10% of the people interact with relatively fixed objects, speculating that these students may even have communication problems. College students eat regularly on weekdays, but on weekends, the proportion of irregular can even reach 41.30% of them.

In the food industry, some additives such as carob bean gum are highly sought after thanks to their power to present, even at low concentrations, a particular texture, guaranteeing stability, attending sanitary quality, and improving the taste and appearance of food. The main problem in the valorization of such seeds is the presence of shrinkage phenomenon issued from the airflow drying, which would lead to altering the functional quality. It would be also possible to meet among the problems, the risks of contamination by microbes, insects and larvae. It is obvious that an adequate intensification of the drying should address such issues while preserving the functional quality. The current work aimed at identifying the ability of DIC (instant controlled pressure-drop) processing to confer the seeds higher porosity, better tortuosity, greater exchange surface, that they get better aptitude to dry, to allow an effective decontamination that it can even reach a sterilization level of these seeds, while, by instant cooling, to preserve even improve their own functional (rheological) quality. The kinetic of DIC-assisted airflow drying was analyzed using the phenomenological Coupled Washing/Diffusion (CWD) model. Since DIC is a perfectly controlled hightemperature/short-time process, an adequate Design of Experiment DoE was used through operating parameters of saturated steam pressure (P), processing time (t), and number of cycles (c), to measure the washing starting accessibility and the effective diffusivity. It, also, was possible to assess the functional properties and rheological attributes, for systematically performing the statistical calculation of the DoE using Statgraphics software.

Choice of science based careers by female students in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutes and particularly Technical and Training Institutes (TTIs) has attracted a lot of attention of education planners, economists and administrators the world over. Female students choosing careers in TVET science programmes are still few and especially in Siaya County, Kenya. The study was based on social Cognitive. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The research instruments were questionnaires the sample size was 316 female students sampled using census method. Tools in the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 was used to analyze data. Frequencies, percentages and means were computed. Inferential statistics such as regression coefficients, T-statistics, F-statistics, correlation of coefficients shall were derived. Charts, graphs and tables were used to present the findings. It was found out that there exists a negative and statistically significant relationship between socio-cultural factors and female students‟ choice of career in science TVET Programmes (r=-0.546**; p<0.01). The significance of this study is that the findings could be used to come up with policies on how to increase the number of female students choosing careers in TVET. This could guarantee employment opportunities for women in the country which in turn could raise their standard of living.

In recent studies, specific neurons were discovered in the brain which is devoted to a single person or object. For example, various pictures of Jennifer Aniston elicited a response in the same specific neuron unit inside the temporal lobe. In this study, I aimed to explore the relationship between beta waves and famous face processing by electroencephalography (EEG). Two healthy volunteers participated in this study (one male). EEG recordings were taken from while they were watching pictures of famous (20) and fameless (20) people pictures with a 32 channel EEG recording system. Beta power values in the temporal lobe were analyzed from the EEG data. Beta power values were 20, 15µV2 and 12, 25 µV2 for famous people and fameless people, respectively. Face-specific neurons are located in the temporal lobe and beta wave considered related to higher cognitive functions. I concluded higher beta power value for famous people as famous‐specific neurons create more electrical activity than non‐specific visual neurons in the temporal lobe. This was a prestudy and I believe that this study paves the way to explore the role of the beta wave in processing ‘Jennifer Anderson photos’

Ahmad ibn Taymiyyah (d.1328), is one of the most quoted medieval scholars by contemporary jihadists from the 1980s to the present time. The frequent use of Ibn Taymiyyah by the jihadists in justifying their doctrines made many to believe that Ibn Taymiyyah share the same view with the contemporary jihadists on the issues of jihad and terrorism. This paper will analyse the other side of Ibn Taymiyyah on jihad by studying one of his treatises on jihad. In the treatise of Qāʿida mukhtaṣara fī qitāli al-kuffāri wa mudāhanatihim wa taḥrīmi qatlihim bi mujarradi kufrihim Ibn proved soft on the issue of jihad by arguing two issues. Firstly, that the infidels are not fought due to their disbelief, rather, if no danger is sensed from them they should only be subdued to paying jizya. Secondly, the jizya should not be restricted to the people of the Book, it should be collected from all the infidels. This paper will discuss the textual evidence of the treatise and analyse the two arguments in light of other works of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim.

The Moon and Sixpence is told in a series of glimpses into the mind and soul of the central character Charles Strickland, a middle-aged English stockbroker, who abandons his wife and children abruptly to pursue his desire to become an artist. In this novel, Strickland tried to search for his identity that he had lost in the past years. He deconstructed his former identity and constructed his new identity. Strickland searched for this identity through several steps: First, to get rid of the bondage of family. Second, don’t care what others think about him. Third, to accept a support. Finally, died but fulfilling his construction of identity.

The epileptic power supply in the society today has become a chronic problem in our industrial sector. This inconsistence in power supply can be outwitted by using biological gas like improving biogas electrical power output using fuzzy logic controller. This can be done in this manner, characterizing the network under study, designing a membership function that analyzes the increase of biogas electrical power, designing a fuzzy rule that sticks in the increase of biogas electrical power output, designing a Simulink model for Improving biogas electrical power output using fuzzy logic controller and comparing the percentage biogas electrical power increase with and without fuzzy controller. The result obtained shows that biogas electrical power output without using fuzzy is 8KW while when fuzzy is incorporated is 10.77KW which is 14.78% increase when fuzzy controller is incorporated than when it was not imbibed.

The ascendancy of neoliberalism and the associated discourses of „new public management‟, during the 1980s and 1990s has produced a fundamental shift in the way universities and other institutions of higher education have defined and justified their institutional existence. The traditional professional culture of open intellectual enquiry and debate has been replaced with a institutional stress on performativity, as evidenced by the emergence of an emphasis on measured outputs: on strategic planning, performance indicators, quality assurance measures and academic audits. This paper traces the links between neoliberalism and globalization on the one hand, and neoliberalism and the knowledge economy on the other. It maintains that in a global neoliberal environment, the role of higher education for the economy is seen by governments as having greater importance to the extent that higher education has become the new star ship in the policy fleet for governments around the world. Universities are seen as a key driver in the knowledge economy and as a consequence higher education institutions have been encouraged to develop links with industry and business in a series of new venture partnerships. The recognition of economic importance of higher education and the necessity for economic viability has seen initiatives to promote greater entrepreneurial skills as well as the development of new performative measures to enhance output and to establish and achieve targets.

Combined with the advantages of Wavelet threshold denoising method and data fusion technology. A data processing method of thermal measurement based on wavelet transform and data fusion is proposed. After decomposing the thermal measurement signal of each measuring point separately by wavelet decomposition, the high frequency components are first filtered by the threshold noise reduction method, and then the signal of each measuring point after noise reduction is got by wavelet reconstructing to reduce the influence of noise, and then , we normalize the signal of each measuring point, and make the data fusion based on the least mean square of the normalized measuring points, so as to obtain a better reconstructed signal. The experimental results show that this method improves the accuracy and reliability of the measured data and makes the signal features more apparent.

The main objective of this work was to evaluate the physico-chemical and microbiological qualities of dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection in the city of Douala. The experimental type was conducted from December 2016 to June 2017. It consisted of carrying out tests of physic-chemical and microbiological parameters on 14 batches of injectable DSP, conditioning, pH, TLC identification, dosage of active ingredient, the clarity, nominal volume and sterility of the drug were analyzed. The technics used were a visual inspection, thin layer chromatography, UV/visible spectrophotometry and microbiological technics, were that of direct seeding. The results were compared in each sector (formal and informal) and in both. Thus, it was found that the injectable DSP, which came from the formal sector had a non-compliance rate of 12.7%, while that from the informal sector a non-compliance rate of 39.7%. In both sectors, the injectable DSP had a non-compliance rate of around 26.2%. Both formal and informal circuits were all affected by non-compliance, although there is a predominance in the informal circuit.

Abstract: The study aims to compare between serum non-HDL Cholesterol, CRP and Uric Acid Levels in Metabolic Syndrome. Fifty subjects of metabolic syndrome (MetS) (30 women, 20 men) who confirmed by the ATP III diagnosis criteria and have no any medical treatment were included in the study. Twenty healthy subjects constituted as the control group (13 women, 7 men). Blood samples were obtained after overnight fasting by using standard sampling procedure and measured fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, serum uric acid and CRP levels. Non–HDL-C was calculated by a formula (Non HDL-C = TC - HDL-C), C-reactive protein was measured using a commercially available ELISA Kit (Ray Biotech, Inc.) Uric acid level was determined using enzymatic (urease) method. Blood sugar and lipid profile were measured by using standard colorimetric commercial kit. Mean, Standard deviation and unpaired t- test (p value) were applied. A p value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Anthropometric variables (blood pressure, BMI and WC) highly significantly (p<0.0001) increased except age (p=0.37 NS) in MetS (n=50) patients than control (n=30) groups. Lipid profile including TC, TG, LDL-C and VLDL-C showed statistically significantly raised (p<0.0001) whereas HDL-C observed decreased (p<0.0001) in same manners. In case N-HDL-C, CRP and serum uric acid levels were found statistical significantly elevated (p<0.0001) in MetS on comparison with control group. Non-HDL-C may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events in MetS. Monitoring HDL-C concentrations may reduce the cardiovascular risk. Therefore, non-HDL-C and CRP might be useful markers for predicting cardiovascular events in both high-risk and healthy individuals. Serum Uric Acid levels were significantly higher with MetS samples. Uric acid and non HDL cholesterol can be considered as a component of MetS.

Poetry is one of the essence of Chinese literature and poetry translation is the most complicated and controversial one in literary translation. Under the theoretical framework of Halliday's systemic functional grammar, this article analyzes the selected versions of English translation of the Chinese poem QingMing. We focus especially on interpersonal metafunction and find that mood and communicative role have interpersonal significance. This study examines the applicability of the systemic functional linguistics in poetry translation analysis and puts forward some suggestions on poetry translation.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have higher HOMA-IR index compared to otherwise healthy metabolic syndrome controls. The aim of this work was to compare the biochemical profile, symptoms and signs of Metabolic Syndrome (MS), between chronic kidney disease patients and non-chronic kidney disease metabolic syndrome subjects, using the World Health Organization criteria. it is a case-control study. Among the CKD patients, 20 patients fulfilling the criteria for metabolic syndrome were included in the study and compared with the age, sex matched otherwise healthy metabolic syndrome subjects. Individuals aged >18 yrs and above were included in the study. Fasting glucose, anthropometric measurements, lipid estimations, and biochemical parameters were done in all the participants, who fulfilled the WHO criteria of metabolic syndrome. All the cases belonged to stages 3 & 4 of CKD. Presence of symptoms among cases were due to their CKD condition, waist hip ratio (W/H) ratio is significantly higher in cases than controls (P<0.05). Both systolic as well as diastolic blood pressure is higher in cases (M 142±19.6, F141 ± 11.3).There was significant difference in the HDL and LDL level among cases and controls HDL level being higher in females among cases(F 46.5±8.31) , whereas LDL level was higher in females among controls (F111.3±55.9). Fasting insulin level was significantly lower among cases in both females and males (Case; M 42.6±8.3, F32.04+14.4; Controls; M56.5±6.6, F 57.5±9.4) similarly HOMA-IR values were significantly lower in cases than controls (Case M7.9±0.86, F7.4±3.7, Controls M13.4±3.5 F12.1±3.4).None of the comparative studies, between CKD and otherwise healthy metabolic syndrome cases have reported higher HOMA-IR levels in controls than CKD patients. HSCrp level was higher in cases than controls (case M 9.3±9.6 F5.9±7.2; Controls M2.5±3.2, F1.9±2.4). Sodium and Potassium levels were significantly higher in cases than controls. Calcium levels were higher in controls than cases, alkaline phosphatase is significantly higher in cases than controls. Though both the cases and controls, are insulin resistant, there is significant difference between HOMA –IR index among cases and controls, HOMA-IR value is higher among controls than CKD patients.

The Xi Jinping's new era has new value requirements. The "Standardization Law" born in 1988 must be adapted to a new era. The value enhancement of the "Standardization Law" is based on value enhancement of the standard. The "Standardization Law" aims to increase its own value by confirming the value enhancement of the standard. The value enhancement of the standard is mainly reflected by self-systematic, voluntary and application. The value enhancement of the new "Standardization Law" is mainly manifested in better satisfying people's demand for various products and services, the need for various security, and the need to participate in public affairs.
