The relevance of the International economic institutions and Economic Development Agreements (EDAs) in the world today cannot be overemphasized. Several scholars have opined that they engender developments, particularly, in the country or countries of interest, and/or where the EDAs have binding force. In the same vein, the concept and principles of sustainable development balances the need for economic advancement with the need to preserve global environment to the benefit of the present and future generation. This paper examined the role of international economic institutions and economic development agreements in pursuing sustainable development. From the examination, it was observed that EDAs executed between countries now consider environmental factors and other aspects of sustainable development as veritable elements. And that Sustainable development has reshaped the interpretation of key provisions within the WTO’s agreements.

PT Nexus Fashion & Sports is a manufacturing industry that produces work
gloves and sports. The company's current production system has not been able to run
effectively and in balance because production demand and production planning always
change. Applying the right production system can provide the right production process.
The Toyota Production System (TPS) can help companies cope with demand fluctuations
and control production planning in a controlled manner. The basis for the implementation
of TPS is the principle of heijunka, namely the fundamental removal of mura, muri, and
muda. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the production process and design
the TPS based on the principle of heijunka to improve the productivity of human labor.
Analysis of production process effectiveness using manufacturing cycle effectiveness
(MCE) method was 67% and improvement proposal was 69%. Production rate balancing
(mura) on production scheduling of TPS design based on heijunka principle using mixed
model scheduling method produces daily flat based production. Alignment of workload
(muri) using work load analysis method in March and April 2017 TPS design based on
the principle of heijunka there were advantages of 1 person and 4 people. The average
human work productivity of TPS design based on heijunka principle increased by 1.10%.

Several denture based materials have been used with a wide range of
applications. Several techniques have been used in recent time to improve its properties
for better durability, strength and working. To compare Impact Strength, Compressive
Strength, Tensile Strength, Hardness and Dimensional accuracy of autopolymerized,
postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized and heat-cured denture base
resins. Specimens were prepared by different modes of polymerization using
autopolymerization technique, microwave post-polymerization treatment of
autopolymerized acrylic resin and conventional water bath technique. The specimens
were then subjected to various tests to evaluate strength (Impact, compressive, Tensile)
and Hardness. There is statistically significant difference was found between mean
impact strength and compressive strength of autopolymerized, postpolymerized
microwave exposed autopolymerized and heat-cured denture base resin. There is no
statistically significant difference between mean tensile strength of autopolymerized
acrylic resin and postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized acrylic resin
(p=1.000) but a statistically significant difference was found between mean tensile
strength of autopolymerized acrylic resin and heat-cured denture base resins (p=0.001).
There was a statistically significant difference between mean Rockwell Hardness
Number of autopolymerized acrylic resin and postpolymerized microwave exposed
autopolymerized acrylic resin (p=0.005). A statistically significant difference was also
found between mean Rockwell Hardness Number of postpolymerized microwave
exposed autopolymerized acrylic resin and heat-cured denture base resins (p=0.001).
Similarly, there was statistically significant difference was found between mean
Rockwell Hardness Number of autopolymerized acrylic resin and heat-cured denture
base resins (p=0.03). Comparison of mean linear dimensional change between
autopolymerized and postpolymerized microwave exposed autopolymerized denture
base resins showed no statistically significant difference in the mean dimensional
change between the autopolymerized and postpolymerized microwave exposed
autopolymerized denture base resins (p=0.051). Heat-cured acrylic resin exhibited the
maximum values for Impact strength, Compressive Strength, Tensile Strength, Hardness
and Dimensional Accuracy and Impact Strength of autopolymerized acylic resin
improved after microwave postpolymerization treatment. Whereas, Hardness is
decreased and Dimensional accuracy remained unaffected after the microwave
postpolymerization treatment of autopolymerized acrylic resin.

Increased demand has driven the property business to grow and expand
more rapidly. This has a positive impact on the national economy because it can
increase the rate of economic growth through the level of investment. Behind its rapid
development, the property business is extremely vulnerable to economic shock.. With
Vector Error Corection Model (VECM) method, this study aims to see what
macroeconomic variables influence the Residential property prices index as well as the
magnitude of their contribution and how residential property price index respond to
macroeconomic shocks. Macroeconomic variables used in this study such as economic
growth, inflation, interest rates, money supply, and exchange rates. The results of this
study show interest rates and economic growth does not significantly affect residential
property price index on Jabodebek-Banten. The responses generated from the Impulse
Response Function is different in each category. Meanwhile from the Forecast Error
Variance Decomposition shows that the Money Supply, Exchange Rate, and Inflation
has a big contribution on the shocks that occur in residential property price index in
Jabodebek-Banten in various categories.

Eyes are generally the first features of the face to be noticed, playing a
significant role in our daily lives. The most grievous yet, unfortunately, the most
commonly occurring loss out of all the sensory organs is that of an eye. Such an adversity
may have a prodigious emotional and psychological impact on the patient with loss of
function. Artificial replacement of the lost eye is done with an ocular prosthesis. The
prosthesis will improve patient’s esthetics, restore and maintain health of these structures,
and thereby provide physical and mental wellbeing. Accurate impression to duplicate the
contours of the defect site is required for the fabrication of the custom made prosthesis.
In the following case report, a custom made scleral shell prosthesis was fabricated for the

‘Poison’– The term first appeared in English Literature around the year 1230. It refers to a substance with an inherent property of being harmful to life or health. The earliest used poison, used in wars and official executions, included plant extracts, animal venoms and minerals. The aforementioned poisons are still used in the present day though they are not amongst the more prevalent ones, the trends having changed over the last millennium. Aluminium Phosphide poisoning occurs most commonly through ingestion and is seen more frequently in young males in their third decade. Fresh AlP is associated with higher and quicker fatality with respect to stored poison, less survival, more mortality.

In this study EPANET, a widely used water distribution package was
linked to OptiGa, a Visual Basic ActiveX control for implementation of genetic
algorithm, through Visual Basic programming technique, to modify the computer
software called OptiNetwork. OptiNetwork was applied to Badarawa / Malali
distributionnetwork consisting of 96 pipes of different materials, 75junctions, two
tanks, and a source reservoir (i.e treatment plant) from which water is pumped
through a pumping main to the overhead reservoir and later distributed to the
network by gravity. After several runs the cost obtained from this network using
OptiNetwork software under the application of genetics algorithm is
$433,520.00which is lower than $435,118.00 obtained from OptiDesigner software.
This difference is approximately 3% lower than the result obtained from
OptiDesigner (a commercial software) with minimum pressure head of 3m and
maximum of 100, Pressure penalty of 200,000 and probability of mutation equal to
0.03, also the commercial diameters of 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”, 16” 18” 20’’,
22’’and 24’’ dmin =4”, dmax = 24” were used for the distribution network during
the optimization process. The results obtained shows that the introduction of the
modified software (OptiNetwork) is justified. This is because it has been able to
improve the search method in terms of achieving the “least-cost” designed water
distribution system that will supply sufficient water quantities at adequate pressure
to the consumers.

The Labour Act 2003, Act 651 serves as guide to help foster a harmonious
relationship between management and employees. It is paramount to acknowledge the
significant role that Union activities have played. Amongst them are; bargaining
on behalf of employees, bringing industrial harmony among employees and
employers, serving as a guide and direction for employees to direct their grievances
and many more. The study was to find out the impact of union activities on the
performance of employees. The specific objectives of the study were: To identify the
main strategies used by trade unions to protect the interest of members, to find out the
benefits associated with joining trade unions and, to find out the effects of trade unions
on workers performance. The significance of the study was to find out the
socioeconomic good of workers at the Bawku Presbyterian Hospital and help unveil
the problems associated with trade unions and its impact on their performance. The
researchers through questionnaires used 70 respondents from the Bawku Presbyterian
hospital who are members of Health Service Workers Union. Out of the findings 64%
of the health workers said trade unions help workers to get their demands. The
methodology used for the study was descriptive in nature. The findings of this study
corroborate that of other researches that union activities have effect on workers
performance at the workplace. Union activities have impact on the performance on
work. This implies that it sounds appropriate for employers to put in place enough
structure. Through that, industrial action will be reduced. Base on concrete
satisfactory measures, it will be very difficult for workers to embark on strike
action.

Corporate governance is mechanism use to improve firm performance and
value because it reduces the level of expropriation of the company’s assets by the
management and it also improves the level of expected cash flows that can be
distributed to shareholders in form of dividends. The study examines how corporate
governance has affected corporate performance under pre and post adoption of IFRS.
The findings show that corporate governance is more effective in explaining and
predicting corporate performance of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria after the
adoption of IFRS better than before the adoption. In view of this, the study
recommends that there is need to encourage application of IFRS principles by banks
and other institutions to enhance corporate performance of deposit money banks in
Nigeria.
