Introduction: Candida biofilms adversely impact the health of the patients with increasing frequency and severity of disease and with soaring economic sequel. Objective: Qualitative detection of biofilm production and its quantification was performed in Candida isolates from patients infected with health care associated infection (HCAI). Method: A total of 55 Candida isolates were included in the study. Biofilm production was estimated by Tube method (TM) and Tissue culture plate method (TCP). Further quantification of the biofilm produced was performed by XTT (2, 3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide) reduction Assay and Dry weight measurement method. Result: All Candida isolates were found to be biofilm producers by all three (TM, TCP and XTT) methods. Quantity of biofilm produced by C. albicans ranged between 2.3 to 9.1 mg/disk. Among non-albicans Candida Candida tropicalis) it was between 2.2 to 7.3 mg/disk whereas non-albicans Candida (except C. tropicalis) weight of the biofilm was 2.0 to 7.1 mg/disk. Conclusion: Dry weight (DW) is the actual quantity of biofilm produced. Candida albicans produced higher quantity of biofilm than non-albicans Candida in the study. It is also concluded that quantitative detection of biofilm is definitely help clinician in deciding modality of treatment.

Background: This study was aimed at investigating the Prevalence Pattern of axial triradii in the Ikwerres’ Binis’ and Igbos’. The study was an observational, analytical and cross-sectional design with volunteers age ranging from 18-60 years. For the purpose of this study, an individual was considered to be a Nigeria of a particular ethnic group if the parents and four grandparents are of the same ethnic group. Materials and Methods: Cluster sampling method was used for the study. The selection and collection of required parameters relied on informed consent of volunteer subjects. This was done by giving them a copy of the informed consent letter which was signed and dated. A total of 1,200 subjects (Bini 400, Ikwerre 400 and Igbos 400) subjects were recruited for the study. The fingerprints were obtained using print scanner (Hp G3110 Photo scanner) following Oghenemavwe and Osaat (2015) improvised model. Results and Discussion: Result of the study showed that the total prevalence of the axial triradii across the three ethnic groups (n=1,200). For Ikwerre (n=400), the total prevalence of the triradii were thus for the right: t 210(52.5%), t1 128(32.0%), t2 62(15.5%) while on the left thus t 204(51.0%), t1 126(31.5%) and t2 70(17.5%). For Bini (n=400) were thus on the right: t 192(48.0%), t1 130(30.3%), t2 78(19.5%) while on the left thus t 187(46.8%), t1 131(32.8%) and t2 82(20.4%) and the Igbos (n=400) were thus on the right: t 181(45.3%), t1 115(28.8%), t2 104(25.9%) while on the left thus t 174(43.5%), t1 116(29.0%) and t2 110(27.5%). In the prevalence of the position of axial triradii across the three ethnic groups, the t-position was the most prevalent, followed by t1 and t2. In the Igbo population there was an increased prevalence of t2 on the left hand compared to the Ikwerre and Bini population. Conclusion: The similarity in prevalence pattern of the axial trradii suggests possible genetic proximity and that the Ikwerre people may possibly have received con

The study investigated the effects of Station Rotation Model (SRM) in public secondary school students’ performance in reading comprehension in Delta State, using a quasi- experimental design of the pretest, protest and control type. A sample of 50 students were randomly selected using a purposive sampling technique on a population of 1480 students of SSS II in three schools in three Local Government Areas of Delta State. The instrument to elicit students’ Performance is Reading Comprehension Performance Test (RCPT) pretest and posttest with reliability coefficients of 0.78 and 0.84 respectively. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study while three hypotheses were stated and tested at 0.05 significance level. Data collected were analyzed using the descriptive statistics of mean and percentage to answer research questions while inferential statistics of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test hypotheses. Results show that at 0.05 significance level and df (2, 99) there is no significant difference between students mean performance taught Reading comprehension using the Station Rotation Model and those taught using the Lecture Method. There is no significant difference between the mean performance scores of the male and female students taught reading comprehension using the Station Rotation Model (SRM) form of blended learning strategy. However, descriptive analysis show that the mean difference performance scores of the female students is greater than those of their male counterparts (6.52 > 5.44). Keywords: Station Rotation

Since the Rio declaration which held in Brazil in 1992 on the Environment, the draftsmen of the law have often taken recourse to principles when regulating new areas of the law, one of which includes the polluter pays principle. Cameroon has domesticated this principle in its 1996 Environmental management law which is one of the most important principles of international environmental law. The fine imposed on polluters in Cameroon is paltry and therefore cannot really achieve one of the most desired objectives of punishment which is deterrence .The purpose of this paper is to investigate the nature of the liability of the polluter and the quantum of damages imposed on the polluter when he pollutes the environment. The paper is also aimed at investigating whether the principle is an appropriate tool for the liability of polluters under Cameroonian environmental law. In other words the aim is to investigate why the fine levied on polluters is derisory and whether the principle is an effective tool in the compensation of victims of environmental pollution. The paper does so through a reading of records mainly from documentary and Internet search. The data thus collected constitutes the sources from which the law is drawn, stated and analysed in the light of the stated aim of the paper. The results inter alia identify that the polluter pays principle is suppose to be an effective tool in the compensation of victims of environmental pollution but for it to be effective, it must comply to other international law principles such as that of equality, non-discrimination and most importantly the quantum of the damages imposed on the defaulter should be severe enough so as to deter not only the violator from committing the criminal act in future but also to prevent others from following suit. The said results also highlight the limitations and advantages of the polluter pay principle. The results are significant as they expose gaps in the current law in relation to the poll

In 1988, the National Constituent Assembly promulgated the Brazilian Constitution, creating the Provisional Measure (MP) through Art. 62, which is a single act of the President of the Republic, due to urgency and relevance of the subject, with an immediate force of law, for a period not superior to 60 days. In this article, N=1,512 MPs, issued from 1988 to 2019, were analyzed. Key findings pointed out 1,160 MPs converted into Laws (77 percent conversion tax), 67 MPs in process, from which N=51 MPs are still in force for 18 years. This inconsistency is given by the Constitutional Amendment 32, issued on September 11, 2001, which altered the termination clause over time from Art. 62, paragraph 1st, under investigation. The implications are potential legal uncertainty arising from disparities, regarding provisional measures that became permanent, until appreciated by the Brazilian Congress. Case analysis and discussion complete the present work.

In this study I hope, without claiming comprehension, to shed lights over the process of translation in Palestine, by giving modals from different stages with different source languages (Arabic, English, and French). The process of translation was highly respected by almost all Palestinian intellectuals and three figures will be mentioned in this study: Adel, Zuaiter, Khairi Hammad and Salma Jauuysi, each Palestinian icon will be treated through the study individually, identifying his or her particular ideology, influencing factors and the resulting effects on his production; general conclusions follow, and close the study. The study discusses the movement of translation since the twentieth century till now and the two main characteristics of translation in Palestine, in the twentieth century, are easily recognized, both of which are closely linked to political struggle in Palestine and the Middle East. The study covers the effects of ideology, and power over the translator’s production and the specific definition that those terminologies having in this study and the impacts they had at the time. The study will be closed by a number of recommendations and conclusions.

Breast cancer is the first cancer of women in the world. With nearly 1.7 million new cases diagnosed each year around the world, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the major public health problem. In Morocco, its incidence continues to increase. Its occurrence is a dramatic event in a woman's life, it is still unhappy and difficult to accept when it is a young woman. This is a retrospective study of 93 patients under 35 years of age with breast cancer who were recruited to the Gynecology and Obstetrics II Department of Hassan II University Hospital in Fez, Morocco, over a period of 5 years. The purpose of the study was an analysis of clinical, therapeutic, evolutionary and prognostic data for breast cancer in women aged 35 and under. The prognosis of breast cancer in our young patients is unfavorable, seems to be related to an advanced stage of the disease, but also a particular biological profile, as well as the data of the literature.

The antenatal diagnosis of isolated abnormalities of the posterior fossa is possible thanks to ultrasound screening and antenatal MRI, which are currently of excellent quality. The Arnold Chiari type 2 malformation is a rare congenital malformation of the cerebellum, it results from the normal growth of nerve elements in a posterior fossa too small. It is always associated with myelomeningocele. We report the case of an antenatal discovery, at 36 weeks of amenorrhea, of a Chiari type II malformation associated with a myelomeningocele. Through this case and a review of literature we will highlight the contribution of different methods of antenatal imaging in the diagnosis of this rare malformation.

This paper argues that translation in Translations ‘is a dialogue’ for the sake of communication to highlight social and political issues of Irish people. Translations (1980) also aim to highlight the decline of Irish culture and language through communication with gradual shift after English invasion. This paper focuses on the decline of Irish language and culture through powerful English language and English invasion. Focusing on the decline of Irish language and culture, it is concluded that Friel’s Translations is an attempt to see external issues of Irish nation through translation process.

Space is a metaphor for the future. Outer space is not just void beyond earth’s atmosphere, but an arena for ceaseless human evolution. When through human industry a small round metal object was shot into space for the first time, a rare opportunity to carry human rights into outer space emerged. Since the inception of the outer space treaty, the relationship between outer space exploration and human rights is grounded on the doctrine of exploration for the philosophical or spiritual benefit of mankind. The technological and scientific advancement of the twenty-first century especially in aerospace engineering and space exploration popularly known as ‘space-age’ along with access and control of information known as ‘information age’ is arguably the defining characteristics of the current era of human civilization. In regard to outer space exploration and exploitation, a very important problem is represented by the conflict between the right of state with respect to sovereignty and the rights of individual in regard to development. Since the appearance of ‘province of mankind’ and ‘benefit of mankind’ provisions in the outer space treaties and agreements, controversy regarding the intent and meaning of the terms in regard to nation’s right to explore and use common environment for not just one’s own benefit but to share benefits derived with the rest of the world has escalated. The availability of freedom of information regardless of frontiers, an integral part of freedom of expression to seek, receive and impart information and ideas as a fundamental consideration among states in space is explored. The impact of right to development in space exploration whether it is a dead-end or does it open new avenues of thinking and possibility of better implementation of human rights in space law from benefit of mankind perspective is examined. The paper explores the conflict and complementary relationship between the two bodies of law and argues that human rights could only f
