Since Decision of the Constitutional Court Number 137 / PUU-XIII / 2015
and Number 56 / PUU-XIV / 2016, the Minister of Home Affairs and the Governor is
not authorized to cancel the Local Regulation. Both Constitutional Court Decisions can
not be denied to be one of the obstacles for the central government to suppress the
growth rate of overlapping local regulations, so that necessary steps to disbursing
obesity of local regulations starting from the upstream or since the planning stage. One
of the steps that can be taken to obstruct obesity rate of Local Regulation is by
conducting harmonization activities at planning stage that is harmonization to draft
Program of Formation of Local Regulation.

Saudi J. Oral. Dent. Res.
Pigmented lesions of the oral cavity are an heterogeneous group with several
etiophatogenesis and they can have melanocytic or non-melanocytic origin . Solitary
pigmented melanocytic lesions of the oral cavity are rare. Oral nevus is a benign
proliferations of cells of melanocytic origin and they are rare, for this reason, the
literature is poor. Diagnosis of pigmented lesions of the oral cavity and perioral
tissues is difficult, therefore is essential the histopathological examination to make
a correct diagnosis . The objective of this article is to present a rare case report of oral
nevus in the palate. A 63 years old female patient reported a small black spot not bulging
and asymptomatic. This lesion has been surgically removed and analyzed. The
histological examination of the sample has confirmed the diagnosis and after a week the
palate was completely healed.

The Kenyan government is currently supporting the start-up as well as the
growth of youth enterprises, in line with the Medium Term Plan of Vision 2030, by
creating a conducive environment and support programmes in order to develop the sector.
Despite these efforts, the performance of youth enterprises in Kenya has been miserable.
The breadth to which this huge amount of money has influenced the growth and profit
margins of these many youth enterprises remains unexplored. Furthermore, there is a lack
of enough literature as far as the effect of youth enterprise development fund on the
growth of MSEs. This research, therefore, sought to establish the effect of Youth
Enterprise Development Fund services on the growth of MSEs in Nyando Constituency.
The objectives that guided this study include: to determine the effect of YEDF lending
financing services on growth of youth MSEs in Nyando Constituency; to determine the
effect of YEDF linkage services with large enterprises on growth of youth MSEs in

This study examines the relationship between monetary aggregates and
economic growth with evidence from Nigeria. It examines the extent to which narrow and
broad money supply relate to Nigerian Real Gross Domestic Product. Data collected were
analyzed using multiple regression. The result of the study shows though broad money
supply (M2) has a salutary effect on the performance of the economy as shown by the
positive relationship it exhibits, the relationship is not such that monetary aggregates can
significantly contribute to the performance of the economy. The paper recommends that
since monetary aggregates are weak in achieving growth in the Nigerian economy, a
combination of monetary and fiscal policy measures , perhaps will achieve the desired
objective of growing the economy.

This paper shows experimentally effect of gravel beds to reduce erosion of
soil downstream of submerged hydraulic jumps by using a physical model, gravel
beds are employed downstream of radial gate to dissipate the energy and to control
the erodibility of cohesionless soils. Two different types of gravel were considered,
natural particle with graded grain sizes, and non-uniform big grain sizes, a state of
smooth bed was included to estimate the influence of gravel beds on the scour hole
dimensions. A preliminary comparison of the incipient motion values shows that
granular soils downstream gravel bed have a smaller free surface flow erosion than
the granular soils downstream smooth bed. Additional comparison of the
experimental data incipient motion criteria also suggests that decrease void ratio for
gravel bed leads to minimize erosion the soil. The gravel beds reduce the maximum
scour hole by rate from 47% to 66% in comparing with the smooth bed.

The indiscriminate disposal of animal waste in the environment has led to
the search for solution by recycling these wastes, which includes the use of animal
bone waste in the construction industry, as a partial replacement of cement in
concrete. The aim of this project is to study the properties of the concrete by partial
replacement of cement with animal bone powder. The bone powder is replacing
cement partially by weight in mix proportion (3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15%). The
objectives of this research are to protect the environment from the harmful effects of
animal wastes by using animal bone powder in concrete as a partial replacement for
cement, to study the possibility of using animal bone powder in the concrete mix and
to investigate the effect of animal bone powder on the compressive and the spilt
tensile strength of the concrete mixture. Conduct preliminary tests on the basic
materials, including fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and cement. The mix design was
developed for C30 grade concrete using the ACI method. The mix proportion used is
1: 1.67: 2.34 with water cement ratio of 0.5. Cube samples with dimension of
150mm×150mmx150mm and cylinder samples of 150mm diameter and 300mm
height respectively were used to prepare concrete mix. Concrete samples were cast
during this study replacing the cement with the animal bone powder. A total of 18
cubes and 18 cylinders were cast in this study and the samples were cured in the water
tank for 28 days under normal conditions. Cube samples were tested for compressive
strength and cylinder samples for split test in a UTM. The research has shown that the
use of animal bone powder as a partial replacement of cement in concrete can affect
the properties of the concrete. The results of the experiments showed an increase in
compressive strength and split tensile strength when compared with the results of the
normal mix however; as the bone powder content increased a reduction in the
workability of the concrete was observed and recorded. Furthermore, the results
showed the optimal replacement percentage of BP in concrete is 6 percent with
compressive strength of 36.2 N/mm2 when compared with other replacement ratios.
Therefore, from an environmental and technical perspective, there is an opportunity to
utilize waste animal bones in concrete for construction applications.

Esthetic tooth replacement is a challenging procedure for the dentist, patient,
and technician. Loss of the anterior teeth with existing diastema may result in excess
space. Various treatment options are available for the replacement of multiple anterior
teeth. These options include partial removable dental prosthesis (RDP), an implantsupported prosthesis, and conventional fixed dental prosthesis (FDP). FDP, along with
loop connector, is the best treatment option but not on those with limited interocclusal
space and with deep bite. The cantilever FDP with canine and lateral incisor is the proper
choice for such case. The cantilever FDP design enhances the natural appearance of the
restoration and proper contour, emergence profile, and dental forum. This clinical report
describes a technique that fabricates a bilateral three-unit metal ceramic (MC) cantilever
FDP to achieve optimal esthetics and functional correction for patients with missing
maxillary central incisors along with diastema in between central incisors.

A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Kalwa, Thane, in Maharashtra state, India on 61 first-year MBBS students to compare the scores obtained by students in Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) with that obtained in Traditional Practical Examination (TPE). In the TPE, each student performed red blood cell count, which was followed by viva-voce on the same procedure and marks out of 30 were assigned by the examiners. Students were oriented regarding OSPE and the marking system. At the “procedure station” of the OSPE (maximum marks = 20), the examiners were provided with a pre-validated checklist containing 10 steps for performing red blood cell count within an allotted time of 10 minutes. Two marks were given for correct performance of each step mentioned in the checklist. At the “question station” (maximum marks = 10), students had to write answers to 10 short-answer type questions carrying one mark each. The total marks obtainable during OSPE were out of 30. The mean OSPE score was 23 +/- 2.41 (95% CI: 22.40 – 23.60) while that for TPE was 17 +/- 3.58 (95% CI: 16.10 – 17.90). The difference in the mean OSPE and TPE scores was highly significant (Z=10.859; p<0.00001). The gender difference in TPE scores was statistically significant (p=0.017) but that in mean OSPE scores was not significant. Although the stations where most students committed identical mistakes were noted and feedback regarding their performance was given, extra training may be required for few students with lower scores. Periodically conducted faculty development programmes would assist in creating a pre-validated OSPE question bank.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.8.17
This study aims to provide a new perspective in order to improvement public
awareness on preservation temple through multicultural education. It was based on the
facts that the destruction of the temple and theft cases by increase steadily. For
example, East Java people living around the temple take the temple’s bricks to make
red cement and they sell them to earn some money. Moreover, the chief of Radya
Pustaka Museum in Surakarta was arrested for her action of stealing some statues from
the museum collection. These cases show that people have not fit consciousness to
preserve their cultural heritage as identity that indicates lowering multiculturalism
sense. Majority of the people have different perceptions about the temple. They
considered the temple as the burial site of the ancient Hindu’s kings. Their opinion was
based on folklore, myth, and legend. Most of the temple’s visitors also have different
perception. They regard the temple as a sacred building which functioned as a tomb.
Therefore, they do not dare to do anything inside the temple’s complex area.
Multicultural education was a concept that addresses cultural diversity and equality in
schools. Equality ensures that students are provided the same access to the benefits of
society regardless of their group membership. One of the strategies to sustain public
perception and awareness to care and preserve temple in their residence was improving
people knowing about the other culture and the heritage. In this context students need
introduced temple through a variety of activities such as study tours, observation,
fieldtrip, etc. The temple also been used as learning resources; especially in social
studies where teachers explore the environmental aspects of the temple both physical
and socio-cultural. Social studies learning by medium of temple, and learning resources
expected to improve the quality of teaching and awareness of the differences.
