Preservation of the aesthetical aspects of the traditional buildings especially
the traditional Malay house is relatively unsolved due to the limitation of the material
used specifically the timber. The traditional Malay house system is basically a modular
system in terms of measurement, panel dismantle-reassemble method, expandable and
moveable as well. Modular system allows many advantages in construction process and
final production. Some of the lists are cost-effectiveness in terms of time consuming in
site, labour, product materials and many more. The quality of modular system also can
be monitored wisely as it is develop in factory in mass production according to the
design. This paper proposes the adaptation of modular system in modern housing that
integrated with the traditional Malay house component specifically the non-structural
component such as the wall system. The issues of modular using the traditional
components will be analysed using observation and site visit and analysis. The system
generated can be applied to the housing development in Malaysia and in the meantime
preserving the aesthetic elements of the traditional Malay house. The outcome of this
paper will acknowledge a concept of modular housing system adapting the traditional
wall element in building environment, and appreciating the aesthetic value of the
traditional Malay house as well.

Ultrasonography is a widely used imaging technique that has many clinical applications. The early staging of the metastatic carcinoma is one of these widely uses. FNA and core biopsies have exceedingly replaced the surgical biopsy. The ultrasound-guided biopsy has shown great and more accurate results for breast cancer detection more than the use of one method alone. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of ultrasound-guided biopsy in breast cancer. The procedure was performed on 32consecutive patients that were enrolled at Shaukat Khanum hospital in this Cross-sectional comparative analytical study. Ultrasound-guided core and FNA-guided biopsies were performed for all 32 patients. The accuracy of breast lumps biopsy with ultrasound guidance biopsy was more accurated as compare to non ultrasound. Out of 32 patients 1(3.1%). was diagnosedwith acute inflammation, 16(50.0%). for breast metastatic carcinoma, 2(6.3%). for chronic inflammation, 1(3.1%). for ductal epithelial carcinoma, 1(3.1%). for fibrocystic, 1(3.1%). for the fibroepithelial lesion, 1(3.1%). for lymphocytic yield, 7(21.9%). were normal results and 1(3.1%). for stromal fibrosis. In conclusion, an Ultrasound-guided biopsy is highly accurate, and more effective and feasible method than the ultrasound examination alone and excisional surgery. Recently US-guided biopsy procedure is widely used for the diagnosis of lumps in breast cancer patient.

The number of customers at Giant Citra Raya over the last five years (2011-
2015) has decreased significantly, due to many factors including poor service quality
and poor customer care. Likewise Extra Giant Switching Customer behavior has
Negative Net Switching, when compared to the three brands (Carrefour, Hypermart and
Lotte Mart). This low customer loyalty index is due to poor service quality. The
research design is explanatory, where sampling method is a non-probability sample
(non-random sample). The sampling technique uses accidental sampling, in which the
researcher has the freedom to choose who to meet which can be sampled according to
the requirements of the existing population. The method used in this research is survey
method. The average customer population is 2,070,823 / 12/30 = 5752 per day, with
Slovin samples of 152 respondents. Quantitative analysis method with Analytical Path
Analysis tool and SPSS tool version 2.33. Prior to the analysis conducted test of
questionnaire instrument with validity test and classical assumption. After analyzed
with Path Analysis continued with test of determination analysis (R Square), partial test
of hypothesis (t test) and simultaneously (F test) with 5% error tolerance level. The
result of this research is that Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction have a effect on
Brand Image and Customer Loyalty. Brand Image and Customer Loyalty are still
influenced by other variables other than Service Quality and Customer Satisfaction,
therefore need to do further research.

Toxoplasmosis has been described as the most widespread zoonotic disease of humans and other animals. Although Toxoplasma gondii infection in high school girls has been investigated in many countries, surveys have not been available in high school girls in Yemen. This study was performed to investigate the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with T. gondii infection among high school girls in Ibb city, Yemen. The study was carried out during the period February to December 2016. The sera from 220 volunteer girls were evaluated for T. gondii antibodies (IgM and IgG) using ELISA method. The seropositive rate of T. gondii was 18.2%, and 81.8% of high school girls was seronegative in anti-Toxoplasma IgG, while all cases (100%) were seronegative for IgM. Among the risk factors evaluated, only the presence of cats in home (p = 0.004) was observed as a significant risk factor associated with T. gondii infection. The results of this study may be useful for the design of optimal preventive measures against infection with T. gondii.

and emotional problem. This article reviews studies that explored the impact of physical
activity on health related quality of life (HRQOL) for post liver transplant patients. To
collect evidence to supporting the relationship between physical activity and HRQOL for
post liver transplant patients, a search of the PubMed, CINAHL, Psych Info, EbscoHost,
Medline, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses databases was conducted using key
phrases, including chronic liver disease, liver transplant, post liver transplant, liver
transplant and physical activity, liver transplant and health-related quality of life. The
main search parameters were studies written in English and those conducted between 2005
and 2014. The initial search resulted in 957 records. There were 246 duplicate records.
These records were removed. Records were excluded if patients were pediatric, secondtime transplant recipients or receiving more than one organ transplant or if they had active
infections. First records were excluded by screening the record titles; 453 records were
excluded using this method. Next, records were excluded by screening the abstracts; 214
records were excluded using this method. Finally, records were excluded by screening the
entire record text; an additional 37 records were excluded using this method.

The Importance of H. pylori as an etiological agent in gastroduodenal disease had suggested antibiotic treatment as a main target for the elimination of infection and to determine the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in patients with gastro-duodenal pathologies and the susceptibility patterns of isolates Consecutive dyspeptic patients for endoscopy were recruited in the study. Gastric biopsies were collected from the patients and H. pylori isolated and identified. The present study a total six antimicrobial agents such as Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole, Norfloxacin, Tetracyclin, Amoxycillin and Clarithromycin were used In against 100 clinical isolates Antibiotic sus-ceptibility was determined by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods against The resistance pattern, amoxicillin and metronidazole (AMRR METR) was the most common (23.7%) amongst the isolates Ninety two (83.6%) of the 110 patients (mean age 42.5 ± 15.7, range 14–70 years) were positive for H. pylori, The antibiotic susceptibility rates were 61% for tetracycline, 54.3% for clarithromycin, 16.4% for amoxicillin and 1.8% for metronidazole. Antimicrobial susceptibility results also revealed 12 antibiotypes based on resistance to the antimicrobial agents investigated.. More than 60% of the isolates exhibited multi-drug resistance to three or four antibiotics. Studies attributed the high level of resistance to the frequent use of the drugs to treat various other infections, ineffective drug control policy and the current treatment regimen in Bikaner.

Laryngeal tuberculosis is an extra pulmonary form of tuberculosis and is found in about 2% of all tuberculosis cases. A retrospective analysis of 31 cases of laryngeal tuberculosis was done in the present study extending for 30 years in three Medical Colleges of West Bengal, India. Out of these 31 cases in the study, 20 patients were male and 11 were female with an M: F Ratio of 1.8:1. The age of the patients ranged from 31 years to 59 years. The highest incidence of 45.2% was observed in the age group of 51 to 60 years, followed by 35.5% in the age group of 41 to 50 years and 19.4% in the age group of 31 to 40 years. All the patients presented with hoarseness of voice and cough was the second common symptom. Out of the 31 patients, 9 patients complained of pain in the throat and seven of those had referred earache also. In majority of the cases, the lesions were limited to the vocal cords, arytenoids, and posterior commissure. False cord was involved in 15 cases and ulcer over the arytenoid was found in 14 cases. Patients with lesions involving only the vocal cords, presented with hoarseness of voice, whereas lesions involving the other areas of the larynx, such as arytenoid and aryepiglottic fold presented with odynophagia. Enlargement of the regional lymph nodes was observed in 5 cases out of the total 31 cases. Most of the cases were found during the first 20 years of the study whereas only 4 cases were found during the last 10 years, which could be attributed to the successful implementation of the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme in India. However, the emergence of multi drug resistant strain of the causative bacillus and tuberculosis-HIV co infection has complicated the scenario at present. On histopathological examination, tubercular granuloma with stromal hyperplasia, large number of phagocytes and giant cells, epitheloid cells, Langhans cells and typical necrosis with caseation were found. Confirmation of the diagnosis utilizing a proper diagnostic algorithm and treatment with specific Anti Tubercular Drugs (ATDs) are most important in the management of laryngeal tuberculosis.

Discoloration of orthodontic adhesive during the length of orthodontic
treatment and after debonding of brackets poses a difficult aesthetic situation for the
clinician and the patient. A detailed review of the causes of the discoloration from a
clinical perspective is detailed in the article. Demineralization of enamel and penetration
of resin tags, enamel cracks, surface defects are the main causes. The type of composite
used, its constituents and the curing process also affects the speed and extend of the
discoloration of the enamel. Steps the clinician can take reduce the amount of
discoloration of enamel like use of a slow speed tungsten carbide burs are explained.
Even though some discoloration of enamel is inevitable, steps can be taken to minimize
the problem to a negligible proportion.
