In recent studies, specific neurons were discovered in the brain which is devoted to a single person or object. For example, various pictures of Jennifer Aniston elicited a response in the same specific neuron unit inside the temporal lobe. In this study, I aimed to explore the relationship between beta waves and famous face processing by electroencephalography (EEG). Two healthy volunteers participated in this study (one male). EEG recordings were taken from while they were watching pictures of famous (20) and fameless (20) people pictures with a 32 channel EEG recording system. Beta power values in the temporal lobe were analyzed from the EEG data. Beta power values were 20, 15µV2 and 12, 25 µV2 for famous people and fameless people, respectively. Face-specific neurons are located in the temporal lobe and beta wave considered related to higher cognitive functions. I concluded higher beta power value for famous people as famous‐specific neurons create more electrical activity than non‐specific visual neurons in the temporal lobe. This was a prestudy and I believe that this study paves the way to explore the role of the beta wave in processing ‘Jennifer Anderson photos’

The epileptic power supply in the society today has become a chronic
problem in our industrial sector. This inconsistence in power supply can be outwitted by
using biological gas like improving biogas electrical power output using fuzzy logic
controller. This can be done in this manner, characterizing the network under study,
designing a membership function that analyzes the increase of biogas electrical power,
designing a fuzzy rule that sticks in the increase of biogas electrical power output,
designing a Simulink model for Improving biogas electrical power output using fuzzy
logic controller and comparing the percentage biogas electrical power increase with and
without fuzzy controller. The result obtained shows that biogas electrical power output
without using fuzzy is 8KW while when fuzzy is incorporated is 10.77KW which is
14.78% increase when fuzzy controller is incorporated than when it was not imbibed.

The 17-4PH stainless steel (17-4PH SS) parts were fabricated by using a
metal injection moulding (MIM) route that utilizes three binder systems comprising of
palm stearin (PS), thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR), polyethylene (PE), paraffin
wax (PW) and stearic acid (SA). The 17-4PH SS powder was mixed with binders at
powder loading of 65% vol by using a z-blade mixer for 2 hours at a temperature of
180°C to produce a homogeneous feedstock. The feedstock completely filled the mold
cavity at a temperature of 180°C and pressure of 400 bars. A two-stage debinding
process (solvent and thermal) was performed to remove binders in green parts. Debound
parts were sintered at temperature ranging from 1300°C to 1380°C for 2 hours. The
microstructures, physical and mechanical properties of the sintered parts were evaluated
in order to determine the feasibility of binder. Among the three binder systems
considered herein, PW/PE/SA appeared to produce optimum sintered properties while
PS/TPNR produced the lowest. Experimental results have also demonstrated that
comparable sintered properties could be obtained from the PS/PE at higher sintering
temperature. In summary, this work has indicated that bio-composite binder systems,
PS/TPNR and PS/PE could be considered as a promising binder in MIM of 17-4PH SS.

The possible etiological factors found in the causation of protein energy malnutrition among young children are non feeding of colostrums, lack of exclusive breast feeding in first six month of life, late introduction of semi solid and solid foods, dilution of top milk accompanied by faulty complementary feeding practices by mother and exacerbated by ignorance in the family and the community of the basic dietary needs of the child, particularly during complementary feeding phase. It has been found that, nutrition education can positively effect changes in the attitudes and practices of mothers and is an extremely valuable tool in alleviating the malnutrition, which may occur as a result of improper feeding practices. Aim of the study is to study of infant feeding practices at a tertiary care centre in central India. Information was collected from interview with the parents and examination of under five years children was entered in a predesigned and pretested proforma of the study. In our study top milk was introduced by 20.6% of mothers below the 6 months of age. Majority of them recived top milk between 6-12 months of age (75%). This study revealed that only 21.8% children were receiving undiluted milk. 1/3 received half diluted (43.7%) and remaining was receiving (34.5%) 1/4 dilution. This dilution of milk was responsible for malnutrition in children

It has been discerning that in approximately 2% of the population one or both
the maxillary lateral incisors are congenitally missing. To achieve an optimal aesthetic
for missing lateral incisor has been very challenging for a clinician. It is often necessary
to establish a harmonious, interdisciplinary approach. There are various treatment options
for replacing the missing maxillary lateral incisor, including canine substitution, three
unit fixed partial denture or single-tooth dental implant. Dental implants are an
appropriate treatment option for replacing missing maxillary lateral incisor teeth in
adolescents when their dental and skeletal development is complete. In the present case
report, the dental implant with angled abutment was planned as a definitive treatment
option for a patient with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors.

Criticim Republic of Indonesia Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning
Manpower is often the spotlight of labor activists. The "outsourcing" employment
contract system for plantation workers is seen as a practice of fragmentation,
degradative, discriminatory and exploitative effects on workers. Researchers on Nias
migrant workers in Pelalawan Riau HTI plantations are interpretations of the meaning
of the assumption of labor exploitation with a qualitative method approach. Results of
research on Nias migrant workers in HTI found that the application of the outsourcing
system is one form of labor exploitation. The level of education and openness to initial
information when in the recruitment process does not work properly. Workers are
"locked up" by agents through power structures that influence each other in dominant
and subordinate power. Model debt and payroll system it does not bring prosperity,
instead, workers are trapped in a cycle of poverty and exploitative. The head of the
group (kepala rombongan) (KR) as a “wild agent" and the contractor of the company
providing labor actually became an exploitative agent. The dream of workers getting
social security, THR, and welfare is gone when they see the situation they are treated
like a slave. Finally, Nias migrant workers can only come out if they struggle through
resistance and are assisted by "hands" of observers engaged in the struggle for labor
advocacy.

The important role of malnutrition in child death is that most nutritional deficiencies, including vitamin A and Zinc, impair immune function and other host defenses leading to a cycle of longer lasting and more severe infection and even worsening nutritional status. Thus inadequate intake, infection and poor nutritional status are intimately linked. Aim is to study the contact of TB and measles in malnourished children. Information was collected from interview with the parents and examination of under five years children was entered in a predesigned and pretested proforma of the study. History of contact of tuberculosis was present in 9.2% children. While measles in malnourished children is 31.1%, which has significance, precipitate of severe grade of malnutrition as compared to no history of measles

Islam is a comprehensive system of life. It was built upon fire pillars viz.
monotheism, Salat, zakat, fasting and pilgrimage. Zakat as one of these five pillars of
Islam has a special consideration through which if a Muslim (to whom it was
prescribed) fails to establish becomes incomplete Muslim. It is obligatory upon those
who are wealthy to take out some specific portion of their wealth to those who are
poor. This system has many advantages among various Muslim communities. It will
instill the attitude of love, intimacy and affection between a rich and a poor, and more
importantly, zakat often help towards the alleviation of poverty in the society. For this,
Islam put the responsibility of collecting the zakat on a government from the wealthy
people and to distribute it to those who are needy. As such many Muslim states in
Nigeria today have established Zakat and Endowment Institutions / Organizations to
carry out this task. Sokoto state is one of these states where zakat Committee was
upgraded to Zakat Commission in December 2016. The activities of the Commission
contributed immensely towards the alleviation of poverty in the state. Thus, this paper
aims to examine to what extent the Sokoto State Zakat Commission contributed in the
eradication of poverty in Nigeria and Sokoto state in particular.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have higher HOMA-IR index compared to otherwise healthy metabolic syndrome controls. The aim of this work was to compare the biochemical profile, symptoms and signs of Metabolic Syndrome (MS), between chronic kidney disease patients and non-chronic kidney disease metabolic syndrome subjects, using the World Health Organization criteria. it is a case-control study. Among the CKD patients, 20 patients fulfilling the criteria for metabolic syndrome were included in the study and compared with the age, sex matched otherwise healthy metabolic syndrome subjects. Individuals aged >18 yrs and above were included in the study. Fasting glucose, anthropometric measurements, lipid estimations, and biochemical parameters were done in all the participants, who fulfilled the WHO criteria of metabolic syndrome. All the cases belonged to stages 3 & 4 of CKD. Presence of symptoms among cases were due to their CKD condition, waist hip ratio (W/H) ratio is significantly higher in cases than controls (P<0.05). Both systolic as well as diastolic blood pressure is higher in cases (M 142±19.6, F141 ± 11.3).There was significant difference in the HDL and LDL level among cases and controls HDL level being higher in females among cases(F 46.5±8.31) , whereas LDL level was higher in females among controls (F111.3±55.9). Fasting insulin level was significantly lower among cases in both females and males (Case; M 42.6±8.3, F32.04+14.4; Controls; M56.5±6.6, F 57.5±9.4) similarly HOMA-IR values were significantly lower in cases than controls (Case M7.9±0.86, F7.4±3.7, Controls M13.4±3.5 F12.1±3.4).None of the comparative studies, between CKD and otherwise healthy metabolic syndrome cases have reported higher HOMA-IR levels in controls than CKD patients. HSCrp level was higher in cases than controls (case M 9.3±9.6 F5.9±7.2; Controls M2.5±3.2, F1.9±2.4). Sodium and Potassium levels were significantly higher in cases than controls. Calcium levels were higher in controls than cases, alkaline phosphatase is significantly higher in cases than controls. Though both the cases and controls, are insulin resistant, there is significant difference between HOMA –IR index among cases and controls, HOMA-IR value is higher among controls than CKD patients.

Investors can choose to invest in the real investment sector or in the financial
sector. The decision to choose the investment sector is mainly determined by the amount
of return (return) generated and the risk (risk) that will be received by investors due to the
investment. Theoretically the risks and returns received from an investment will go hand
in hand. The higher the rewards expected to be received, the greater the risk that investors
will receive. Fama (1970) classified information into three types, namely; (i) oast price
change (past price changes), (ii) public information (publicly available information) and
(iii) public and private information (good information available to the public and not).
The efficient market hypothesis has been widely tested and, with the data in a wide
variety of markets and variety result. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we seem to
be entering a stage where widely scattered and as yet incohesive evidence is arising which
seems to be inconsistent with the theory. Daily observations are taken for the period
January 2017 to December 2017 on LQ-45 at IDX. Autocorrelation, Ljung-Box Qstatistic Test, to test the hypothesis that the stock market follows a random walk. Daily
returns are not normally distributed, because they are negatively skewed and leptokurtic.
In aggregate we concluded that the daily prices do not follows random walks in LQ-45
IDX. The investors can take the stream of benefits through arbitrage process from
profitable opportunities across these markets.

The study conducted was to evaluate the quality of oral pediatric antimalarials drugs found in the formal and informal sectors of the city of Douala: particular case of syrups and suspensions of quinine and some powders for oral suspension of artemether-luméfantrine. An analytical study was made on 100 samples selected at random sanitary formations, whole salers distributors and markets of illicit distribution found in the various districts of the city of Douala at which the takings were made. The labeling, the visual aspect, the pharmaco-technical parameters (pH, density, volume) and physic chemical parameters (identification, dosage and stability of actives ingredients) of the different samples were estimated. The results of the analyzes showed an global rate of non-compliance of 77%, the informal sector was the most represented with 92% of its samples non-compliant as compared to 62% in the formal sector. The pharmaco-technical non-compliance concerns the pH with 30%, then the density with 46.7% and the volume 46.7%. The physico-chemical non-compliance concerns the identification of the active substance with 2% and the dosage of active substances with 77%. As regard the stability of the reconstituted suspensions, the pH was stable during 14 days after the reconstitution whereas 22.7% of samples saw their concentration of artemether reduce more than 10% and 41.4% of samples for the lumefantrine. In view of all this, the WHO recommends instead the use of dispersible compressed forms for the treatment of simple malaria in children
