Abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common complaint in gynecology. Dilatation and Curettage is a blind procedure. Hysteroscopy has ushered in a new era in the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. By direct visualization of the uterine cavity it is able to pin point the etiology. This study evaluates the role of hysteroscopy in the diagnosis of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and its correlation with histopathological findings. The Prospective study was conducted in Department Of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, a rural tertiary Hospital of Central India over a period of one year. A total of 50 subjects ,women of age group 30-60 years, in one year, having abnormal uterine bleeding were included in study .Prospective study was done to know hysteroscopic correlation with histopathology. In this study abnormal findings on hysteroscopy were found in 26 patients (52%), while in the remaining 24 patients (48%) no abnormality was detected. The results of hysteroscopy and dilatation and curettage were in agreement in 84% patients; hysteroscopy revealed more information than curettage in 12 % patients and curettage revealed more information than hysteroscopy in 4% patients. Hysteroscopy is an important diagnostic tool in evaluation of AUB and can be considered superior to curettage. It is a safe, reliable, feasible and quick procedure.

Reform of educational institutions is an ongoing process which constantly
molds and refits curricula, teaching methodologies, and infrastructures to new content
and shapes in order to meet the needs of continuously changing communities.
Congruent with such statement, Morocco, as other states elsewhere, has undergone
several reforms the last of which was in the academic year 2003/2004 with the
introduction of the LMD system (Licence, Master, and Doctorate) to higher education.
Such reform and its influence on English language teaching are the main concern of the
current study. Informed by policy documents and evidence drawn from qualitative data
collected through means of observations and interviews of students at Faculty of
Letters and Human Sciences, Sais, Fez, the study revealed that, on the one hand, the
new reform has brought an innovative curriculum; however, a number of acute
problems impeded the effectiveness of the reform. The problems were mainly linked to
lack and poor educational infrastructures, insufficient coverage of some subjects (say,
ESP), and the lack of student academic advising program which is necessary for
students to develop self-autonomy. The cumulative effects were high attrition rates and
repetitions, poor learning outcomes, and generally mismatch between the goals of the
reform and its outcomes.

Seberang, Loa Janan ilir and Palaran District to be supporting city/urban for East
Kalimantan capital which is Samarinda. The research result shows: there are 10
people’s attention focus that become the attention priority about the sustainable urban
city importance. There are 5 important things related to the plan of urban city
establishment and the following is known from hypothesis result: there is no significant
influence of central city to urban city, there is no significant influence of social factor
to the establishment of urban city, there is no significant influence of economic factor
to the establishment of urban city, there is no significant influence of politic factor to
the establishment of urban city, there is no significant influence of land factor to the
establishment of urban city, there is no significant factor of social factor to the
establishment of urban city. There is significant influence of social factor to the
establishment of urban city and from all of the predictors available only social factor
that have a significant contribution to the establishment of urban city. These research
recommend: sustainable urban city should involve society social factor in planning
process of sustainable urban city blueprint. Local government should prioritize its
attention to the importance of sustainable urban city. Infrastructure development
acceleration is needed, by shifting priority scale to sustainable urban city area with a
more appropriate budget portion corresponding to the capability of APBD, pay
attention to environment impact analysis in giving business recommendation that will
be conducted in certain area. Designing spatial city plan and transportation, planning
activity function zone system in city’s area and supporting district. Designing waste
disposal system and environment friendly waste that could be recycled, and designing

With computer operations and mobile device technologies expanding, mobile
cloud computing has been shaping up as the future of web-based communications. Data
security has consistently been a major issue which restricts the further development in
mobile cloud. Many measures have been undertaken to improve in cloud computing. As
the mobile devices have finite resource and power most of the studies on cloud
computing are not convenient on mobile devices. Hence it becomes requisite to diminish
the computational overhead in mobile cloud computing. In this paper we come up with a
scheme called as light weight data secure sharing scheme for mobile cloud. It embraces
CP-ABE which is one of the most suitable technologies for data access control in cloud
storage system but alters the framework of access control tree to make it appropriate for
mobile cloud environments. External proxy servers are being introduced to reduce the
computational overhead on mobile device. Attribute description fields are used to
implement lazy revocation which depletes the user revocation cost. The investigational
outcome unveils that LDSS is capable to decrease the overhead issues on the mobile
device when the data is being shared in mobile cloud environment.

This comparative, before-and-after study (without controls) was conducted between February 2018 and April 2018 at Rajiv Gandhi Medical College, Maharashtra, India, to compare the cognitive domain scores obtained by first-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students after traditional didactic lectures with that obtained after integrated teaching. After obtaining permissions from the Institutional Ethics Committee and institutional authorities, the purpose of the study was explained to first-year MBBS students. Those who had given written informed consent and were present for traditional didactic lectures, integrated teaching, pre-test and post-test were included in the study. Traditional didactic lectures were conducted as per the syllabus for the first-year MBBS course. The pre-test, conducted after traditional didactic lectures, consisted of ten questions (two mark per question; total 20 marks). After the pre-test, integrated teaching was conducted by the same set of teachers. The post-test was conducted after integrated teaching, using a questionnaire that was identical to that of the pre-test. A total of 62 students (29 females; 52.54% and 33 males; 47.46%) participated. The overall mean scores (out of 20) increased from 11.53 +/- 3.59 (95% CI: 10.64 - 12.43) in the pre-test to 13.31 +/- 3.16 (95% CI: 12.52 - 14.09) in the post-test, exhibiting high statistically significant (Z= 2.921; p= 0.003) difference. In the pre-test, the gender differences in scores were statistically significant for two questions, while in the post-test, the statistical significance was observed only for one question. Despite time constraints in the teaching schedule for first-year medical students, it is possible to conduct integrated teaching, which increased cognitive domain scores. However, a larger study on integrated teaching would be necessary in order to generalize the results.

Redeeming Financial Crimes in the Cameroon Public Service: The Etiquettes of the Southern/West Cameroon Model
Confidence Chia Ngam
Page no 760-772 |
10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.6.10
The Cameroon Public service is a blend of the moral and cultural values that
were inherited in British and French systems of administration along with the desire
put in by the different administering authorities to cope with the demands of time.
Unfortunately, this blend even in the era of modern technology with improved tools of
communication has not completely destroyed the ligaments of financial crimes and
scandals that have encumbered this department. Going by reachable evidences, in the
heat of economic crises that warranted the introduction of broad based structural
adjustment Programmes, Cameroon ranked twice as most corrupt country in the world.
Again, most of the top officials (ministers and directors) that have served the different
departments of the public service have been judged and sentenced for differential
durations in prisons due to financial crimes.The questions that beg for convincing
answers are; why is the Cameroon public service department still bedevilled by
financial crimes inspite of the measures put in place to assure transparency? What are
these crimes and what is their impact on national and international dealings? From
primary and secondary sources complimented with statistical and oral interviews, this
paper argues that the near absence of blueprint etiquettes along with administrative
lapses is at the root of these financial crimes. It uses the way accountability was assured
in the management of Southern/West Cameroon budget as model to argue that; with a
determined will churned from endearing etiquettes, the financial crimes alive in the
Cameroon public service can be reduce to the barest minimum or at best, eliminated. It
posits that in an era of modern technology, moral etiquettes that express themselves in
an astute art of private and public righteousness of financial management is required of
state authorities. By so doing, it makes a claim which is not only valid for Cameroon
but also for every state and institution suffocating under the spell of financial crimes
that, much can be redeemed using the model provided.

10.36348/sjef
This paper assesses the comparative study of the role of tax audit and tax
investigations in developed and developing countries (emphasis on Nigeria and United
Kingdom). The two research questions that guided the research include; to what extent
does effective tax audit and investigation curb incidents of tax evasion in developed
countries?; to what extent does effective tax audit and investigation in developed
countries enhance their tax revenue generation?. For developing countries, Nigeria as a
case study, the methodology employed for data collection is only primary source, which
involved the use of questionnaires, in which 48 questionnaire were administered to the
members of staff Port Harcourt branch of Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS) and all
the questionnaire were returned. Conversely, for developed countries, a critical look was
given to published journals and some published information on databases that have
confirmed that tax evasion occurs less often in UK owing to effective tax audit and
investigation. Such journals have equally confirmed that one of the reasons for increase in
revenue derivable from tax is as a result of effective tax audit and investigation as well as
reliable tax laws. A Simple random sampling technique was adopted in distributing 48
copies of questionnaire, which were returned. Presentation and analysis of primary and
secondary data collected with questionnaire were done using table, charts and simple
percentages. It was established that effective and efficient tax and investigation has not
been optimally put in place in developing countries hence the rampant incidents of tax
evasion and low revenue generated through tax administration systems in such countries.
On the other hand, in developed countries such as UK, tax audit and investigation is
effective and efficient and for that reason, higher revenue is generated and less incidents
of tax evasion. The study therefore concludes that for increased revenue generation and
prevention of tax evasion, reliable, efficient and effective tax audit and investigation
should be put in place in both developing and developed economies. It is the
recommendation of the study that developing countries urgently embrace functional audit
and investigation exercises to increase their revenue base through taxation and prevent
uncontrollable loss of revenue through tax evasion while developed countries should
maintain and strengthen their tax audit and investigation activities for a sustained optimal
performance.

Bangladesh. The specific objectives were i) to estimate the cost and return of Binatil-1and
Binatil-2, ii) To identify the value chain of Binatil-1 and Binatil-2 iii) To determine the
constraints of Binatil-1 and Binatil-2 cultivation; and iv) to suggest recommendations for
policy guidelines. Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. Descriptive
statistics analysis using average, percentage, ratio, etc. and value chain analysis were done
in this study. The average cost of production of Binatil is BDT. 30341.08 per hectare and
yield is 1.23 t ha-1; which indicates to a production cost of BDT 24.81/kg. The average
human labour cost was BDT 19803.83 per hectare; fertilizer cost was BDT. 3990.84 and
land preparation cost was BDT 3164.84 per hectare. The cost of human labour, fertilizer
and land preparation are the major cost items of Binatil production. The average price for
Binatil 1& Binatil 2 was BDT 38 and net return was BDT 16306.42. In case of Binatil-1,
producer share was 65 percent for value chain-I and 55 percent for value chain-II and it
was 63 and 56 percent respectively for Binatil-2.
