The Qur‟ān is a compendium of divine laws and instructions desired to
provide guidance to man, leading him to prosperity and salvation, in all his
undertakings. It touches on all aspects of the human endearvours. Among several
legal prescriptions contained in the Qur‟ān, the present study is focused on the
penal injunctions on Qadhf and Licān as reflected in Sūratu-n-Nūr with a view to
assessing implementation of the injunctions among the Muslims in Ilorin, Nigeria.
The paper seeks to determine the level of compliance with the Qur‟anic provisions
on the issues by the Muslim populace. Both Qadhf and Licān are two criminal acts,
the menace of which the research found to be prevalent in Ilorin due to
transgression, ignorance or vain desires in spite of the fact that it is a Muslim
dominated city which is expected to hold tenaciously to the Islamic law provisions.
The research method included interview, questionnaire, observation and literary
appraisal. The paper recommends the need for acquisition of adequate knowledge
of Islam by the Muslims, uncompromising attitude to the Islamic tenets, and
concerted efforts by the Muslim populace for the full implementation of the
sharīсah in Ilorin to preserve its age-long religious sanctity.

The first three gospels in the New Testament give their records in a
similar way of expression, content and structure; however, these Gospels have
differences in some similar narrations. The existence of similarities and differences
in these Gospels is known as „the Synoptic Problem‟. The purpose of this study
was to explore how different audience among the author of the Synoptic Gospel
influenced the Synoptic Problem. The researcher used Exegetical study to
investigate the story of the Gadarene demoniac found in Matthew 8:28-34; Mark
5:1-20 and Luke 8:29-39. Findings showed that the authors addressed different
audiences who had different challenges and experiences who in turn led the authors
to focus on their needs focusing on specific issues which in turn affected their
style, form, rhythm, occurrences, inclusion and vocabulary of each presenter and
finally differences and similarities came upon their canonical gospels.

Combining with the actual conditions of Venezuela, we apply fuzzy
synthetic evaluation models based on analytic hierarchy process to calculate the
tipping point that makes the country fragile. Then, we establish a gray forecasting
model and predict that the climate change will push the country to more fragile by
indirectly affecting food production, water supply, natural disasters and economy in 3
years. Finally, we have reason to believe that the government can effectively mitigate
the impact of climate change on the state fragility through some human intervention.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is increasingly being recognized as an
important health issue in the last two to three decades. It is characterized by frequent
episodes of upper airway collapse during sleep, causing recurrent arousals,
intermittent hypoxaemia, sleep fragmentation and poor sleep quality. There is
accumulating evidence that OSA is being considered as an independent risk factor
for hypertension, glucose intolerance/diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and
stroke, leading to increased cardiometabolic morbidity and mortality.

Enterococcus faecalis has long been mentioned in increased frequency
with regard to teeth with post-treatment disease (PTD). The prominence of E.
faecalis in root-filled teeth with apical periodontitis has made it a focus of attention
as an etiological factor of PTD. To evaluate and compare bacterial culture and
species-specific polymerase chain reaction for the detection of enterococcus faecalis
in retreatment cases with apical periodontitis in rural Indian population. A total of 80
samples were obtained from 40 patients, divided into 2 groups and analyzed by the
two methods. The samples were grown under anaerobic conditions during culture
and the determination of the microbial species was based on biochemical tests. DNA
was extracted and analyzed for PCR using species-specific primer. The association of
microbiological findings with clinical features was investigated. Enterococcus
faecalis was isolated from 46.5% of the selected teeth. Culture and PCR detected the
test species in 25% and 67.5% of the samples. PCR was significantly more effective
than culture in detecting this bacterial species. E.faecalis was clearly proven as the
causative factor of apical periodontitis. Therefore, combining molecular and culture
technique is probably the best approach available to provide comprehensive and a
panoptic information about the microflora associated with endodontic infections.

In the early period, tooth loss may occur for congenital reasons or because
of trauma or decay. Different treatment alternatives for aesthetic rehabilitaton of
tooth loss include removable partial prosthesis, fixed prosthesis, dental implant and
partial prosthesis fixed with resin (Maryland bridge). As fibre-reinforced composites
(FRC) are materials which do not include any metal, the mechanical and aesthetic
properties are extremely good. Our aim in this study is to rehabilitate with FRC tooth
loss in the paediatric patients who are still developing and growing. In this 5 case
series of paediatric patients, it was provided to aesthetic and functional rehabilitation
of anterior tooth loss with a fibre-reinforced adhesive bridge applied with a
minimally invasive technique which did not require any extra sessions. And it was
presented a 1-year-follow up. Fibre-reinforced adhesive bridge can be considered an
inexpensive, conservative, aeesthetic treatment alternative which can be applied in a
single session for single or multiple missing teeth in the anterior region of young
patients who have not yet completed skeletal and dentoalveolar growth and
development.

Zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures are second commonest
fractures in facial skeleton, with nasal fractures being the first. Common causes
include altercations, motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) and sport injuries. This report
highlights a case that presented with secondary blow to the malar region following
MVA but without any fracture. The patient had suffered a similar injury with ZMC
fracture, four years ago and was treated with open reduction and miniplate fixation.
Hence the question arises, if the malar bone strengthened by the miniplate resisted
the fracture or the force was insufficient to cause an impact. Considering the
literature to be limited, further studies with this thought can open up a new plethora
in the history of miniplates.

The Justifications for the Regulation
Brahim Idelhakkar

The classical economists have mostly focused their attention on the
functioning of the market and not on the role of the state. The analyses of various
democracies are based on the assumption that the State decisions once made are
applied as intended by the authorities who are responsible for their practical
implementation. The economics of regulation is situated at the intersection of the
public economics and industrial economics, it explores different forms of
government intervention in industrial activities to simulate either to control or even
to reprove them. Public intervention can take different forms: in Europe the most
common practice is the nationalization, it is the public monopoly of law. In the
United States operation of this natural monopoly is assured through economic
regulation, that is to say all means by which Governments directly influence the
activity of companies while maintaining the framework of the private property. It is
very important to distinguish between the economic regulation of an activity that
focuses on the price and the determination of the structure of offer, and the social
regulation concerning the conditions for the exercise in the activity and the physical
characteristics of the products or services (protection of workers in their working
conditions (health, security), rules of environmental protection or standardization of
products (quality).

Big data can be defined as high volume, high velocity and high variety of
data that require high performance processing. Predictive modelling is a process of
creating a model to predict the future behavior from the data. A predictive model is
made up of predictors which are factors that influence future results. A Proposed
prediction model is identifies best prediction algorithm by evaluating the performance
of an algorithm. The model contains preprocessing module and predicting module
which trailed by performance evaluation to find best prediction algorithm. The
preprocessing module emphasizes flow of preprocessing methods. The prediction
module combines various efficient algorithms to prediction, amid them the best
prediction algorithm can be identified by performance evaluation measurement.

More than 2 billion people in the world today suffer from micronutrient
deficiencies caused largely by a dietary efficiency of vitamins and minerals. The
public health importance of these deficiencies lies upon their magnitude and their
health consequences, especially in pregnant women and young children, as they
affect fetal and child growth, cognitive development and resistance to infection.
Although people in all population groups in all regions of the world may be affected,
the most widespread and severe problems are usually found amongst resource poor,
food insecure and vulnerable households in developing country. Some efforts that
have been done to solve the problem such as micronutrient fortification in rice,
because it is the staple food consumed by more than 90% Indonesia’s population. The
objectives of this research were determined and evaluated the stability of
micronutrient level during rice fortification and cooking. The results showed that
micronutrients decreased during rice fortification and cooking. The raw-fortified rice
contained 38.52 - 59.91mg/L of iodine, 0.92-1.79mg/L of vitamin A and15.64 -
48.39 mg/L of iron depending on the concentration of the coating material used.
After cooking, the fortified rice contained 3.00- 3.93mg/L of iodine,0.43 - 1.0 mg/L
of vitamin A and 12.92-19.66 mg/lof iron. The levels of micronutrients,
although experienced significant losses, still meet the daily needs according to the
Regulation of World Health Organization.
