This research is aimed to evaluate the execution of the directions and the
policies for training and development of Trainers at Training and Development Center
of ASN employees (Apparatus Civil Servants) Ministry of Village, Development of
Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration. The evaluation provides recommendation
to relevant stakeholders to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability
of Trainers in particular and Government Employes in general. This is an evaluative
research using CIPP (Context, Input, Process, and Product) evaluation model by Daniel
Stufflebeam. The data was collected through triangulation of literature research,
questionnaires, in-depth interviews, along with focus group discussions, which was
then analyzed using qualitative data analysis technique by defining the execution
attributes and comparing them to the evaluation criteria as set by the standard. The
outcome suggests revisiting the execution attributes as they were no longer relevant to
the assignments, functions, responsibilities, and challenges faced by Widyaiswara
nowadays. The input evaluation shows that several points have already met the
standards, but some have not. Likewise, the process components, e.g. execution in the
classroom, accommodation, and catering were still below the standard. Therefore, it is
recommended to improve the quality and quantity of these attributes to achieve the
training center standard/accreditation, on both the training and the people (Widyawara).

The political history of Nigeria is characterised with an unprecedented level
of insecurity. Inter-communal and inter-ethnic clashes, religious violent, and armed
robbery, assassination, murder, gender based violence, and bomb explosions have been
on the increase leading to enormous loss of lives and properties and general atmosphere
of siege and social tension for the people. In recent times, inter-ethnic relations tension
has resonated in Nigeria. This is due to the activities of some ethnically motivated
groups. “The Political Economy of Fulani Herdsmen Activities and Inter-ethnic
Relations in Nigeria‟s Forth Republic: Issues and Prospects”, focused primarily on the
activities of the nomadic Fulani herdsmen in some parts of Nigeria such as Kaduna,
Enugu, Benue, Ekiti, Taraba, Nasarawa, Plateau, Kogi States, etc. In these conflicts,
many lives and cattle are lost and properties destroyed. This paper examines the causes
of the incessant Fulani herdsmen and farmers conflicts in Nigeria. Secondly, to
underscore the nexus between the incessant conflicts and interethnic relations in
Nigeria, and thirdly, to overview the alternative options to ameliorate the incessant
conflicts between the Fulani herdsmen and the hosting farming communities vis-à-vis
to douse the ethno-religious dimension of the conflict.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Liver transplant is the corner for patients with end stage liver diseases. Posttransplant patients face many challenges including poor general health, physical inactivity
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.
