10.21276/sjodr.2019.4.7.10
Background and Objectives: MTA is the material of choice for Pulp capping, Apexogenesis, Apexification, Perforation
repair and as well as for Root end filling. In this in vitro study, different mixing reagents were tested and their effect on
the compressive strength, at different pH, was evaluated when MTA was mixed, individually with each of them.
Materials and Method: A total 40 samples were prepared, 10 samples each for four mixing reagents. MTA (white) was
mixed with four mixing reagents and condensed into split thickness molds after which it was allowed to set for 72 hours.
After removing the samples from mold, samples were kept in freshly prepared Phosphate buffer saline solution at
different pH (5.0 and 7.0) for 7 days after which they were removed from PBS and dried overnight before testing with
Universal Testing Machine for compressive strength. Results were statistically analysed. Results: There was no
significant difference found in compressive strength when comparison was done between sterile water and 1% Sodium
hypochlorite at pH 7.0 and at pH 5.0. Within group comparison revealed, minimum changes in compressive strength with
change in pH from 5 to 7 in Group I (MTA + Sterile water) while maximum was obtained in Group II (MTA +
Metrogyl). In Group III (MTA + Sodium hypochlorite), a decrease in compressive strength was seen as pH decreased;
however, the difference between pH 5 and 7 was not statistically different. Conclusion: All the groups tested showed a
good compressive strength except MTA + Chlorhexidine group which did not set even after 7 days and amongst the
group, MTA + Metrogyl exhibited better compressive strength. No significant difference was found at pH 5.0 and 7.0
among the group.

This research, considering Tobin's Q as a proxy for market valuation, determines the factors relevant in firm valuation in
Indian equity markets. The study observes that Tobin’s Q is a sound measure for judging the firms' valuation in both
intrinsic and market terms. OLS based multiple regression models find the financial leverage and ROI as significant
determinants of market valuations in India. However, the degree of impact of these firms financials on Tobin's Q is time
varying and inconsistent.

Our study is based on a retrospective analysis of 18 cases of fibroma and pregnancy association in the maternity of CHU HASSAN II Fez MOROCCO over a period from 2014 to 2018 and whose purpose is to study maternal and fetal morbidity during fibroid association and pregnancy and to remind the therapeutic attitude vis-à-vis fibroids during pregnancy. The frequency of this association is 0.37%. It occurs mainly in women older than 30 years. Primiparous most often. In 61, 11% the diagnosis of fibroma was made for the first time during the pregnancy. Aseptic necrobiosis relatively frequent, accounting for 22.22% of all complications, it has evolved well under medical treatment. Although dystocic presentations, premature rupture of membranes, miscarriages and threats of premature delivery are frequently encountered, pregnancy is in most cases around the term. The delivery took place in 47.05% by Caesarean. The maternal and fetal prognosis is excellent. Treatment remains based on abstinence and regular clinical and ultrasound monitoring. Myomectomy during pregnancy is to be reserved for the torsion of pedicled fibroma and necrobiosis resistant to medical treatment. The association fibroid and pregnancy is not rare, the complications are frequent hence its membership in the lot of high-risk pregnancies. Early detection of complications and prevention of delivery hemorrhage would reduce maternal and fetal morbidity.

homes in their country for one reason or the other. This issue has assumed a significant dimension of great concern all over the world with the African sub-region being the highest victim. Internally Displaced Persons face grave dangers in their home countries as they are vulnerable economically, psychologically socially, religiously and even politically. Apart from the pronounced refugees, they constitute a major group of the vulnerable persons. They could be referred to as “refugees” in their home country. The only difference between them and the refugees is that they are still within the geographical circumference of their nationality. Economically, their means of livelihood is cut off either as farmers, fishermen, or petty traders, or artisans; psychologically and socially, they are not in good frame of mind and have lost their natural homestead and habitation, cut off from their traditional and cultural environment, distanced from their gods and deities and therefore cannot worship their gods; from the political point of view, their civil rights and obligations are even denied sometimes may be not deliberately but because of the circumstances of relocation to areas where it may not be convenient for them to exercise such rights. In Africa generally and in particular Nigeria, the issue of IDPs has become a common phenomenon and of great concern to both the government and voluntary organizations. This paper which will concentrate on Nigeria will examine the causes of displacement of people in Nigeria, the efforts made by the Government as well as legal/institutional framework for the protection of IDPs, and how far the efforts of Government have helped in alleviating the plight of IDPs. Some recommendations are made as part of the concluding remarks.

However, some teachers are facing problems of using digital devices in their teaching activities. For that reason, applying
computer/ICT devices could assist instructors in improving their job performance which in turn, enhances students’
learning achievement. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of teachers’ computer literacy on their
job performance. The specific objectives were: to determine the level of teachers’ computer literacy; to determine the
level of teachers’ job performance; to examine the relationship between teachers’ computer literacy and their job
performance; and to determine the impact of computer literacy on teachers’ performance. This study employed
quantitative method survey design using questionnaires as instruments. Systematic random sampling technique was used
in this study. A total of 185 teachers from senior secondary schools in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area were
involved as respondents. Data was analyzed using percentage distribution, mean value, correlation Pearson product
moment, and multiple regression method. Findings showed that the level of teachers’ job performance is high; the level
of teachers’ computer literacy is high; there exist a relationship between teachers’ computer literacy and their job
performance; and that teachers’ computer literacy was a positive predictor of their performance. Conclusively, in order to

Incthe present study, carried out on the Hammam Boughrara dam (impounded in 1999), a number of phosphorus balance models were applied, namely, Vollenweider (1969), Dillon and Rigler (1975), Walker (1977), Reckhow (1977) and Ostrofsky (1978) models. In order to take into account, the rate of gradual submergence of flooded surfaces which is ordinarily characterized by an important increase in the trophic status as a result of endogenous inputs of phosphorus by leaching we have tried to adapt the Ostrofsky model (1978) to the reality of studied dam, by adding a new dimension. The obtained results show that the proposed model seems relevant.

Objective: This study aimed to perform a systematic review, in order to investigate the effects of a non-pharmacological
therapy (TENS) in cancer pain through clinical trials. Methods: 208 studies were identified in those databases, after title
and abstract analysis, 198 studies were excluded. A total of 10 studies were selected for full-text analysis. Six papers
were excluded based on exclusion criteria, resulting in 4 studies included for this systematic review. Standardized forms
were used for analysis. Risk of bias was assessed with the “Cochrane Collaboration” tool, which assess five different
domains. Results: Selected studies were randomized clinical trials that investigated the use and/or feasibility of
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on patients suffering from cancer-related pain. However, studies had a high
divergence regarding sample, methodological design, treatment parameters, and outcomes assessed. Two studies, one
involving pain related to breast cancer treatment and other investigating TENS on palliative care, showed no difference
from placebo. Other two manuscripts report positive effects on pain, one on cancer-related bone pain and a second on
cancer-related postoperative pain. Conclusion: We concluded that there is no sufficient evidence showing that TENS is
effective for treating cancer-related pain. Additional research, with larger sample sizes, sample homogeneity and
randomization and that investigate potential side effects is needed for a better assessment of TENS viability for the
treatment of cancer-related pain.
