Abstract: This article provides a descriptive account of the morphosemantics of verb extension in C’lela. It examines the forms, and the semantic functions of the various verbal extensions in the language. The article looks at the simple concatenative and non-concatenative morphological operations that relate to core arguments in verb extension in C’lela. The study discovers that while most Niger-Congo / Bantu languages use affixation in verb extension processes; C’lela often employs a non-concatenative system to achieve similar processes. The present analysis contributes to the studies on verb extension in Niger-Congo languages.

Increasing interest for availability of tangible, novel, added value and sustainable commercial exploitable of
nature therapeutic compounds including those derived from marine sources have enriched a long history of research into
Acanthaster planci Crown-of-thorns (COT) starfish biology, ecology, and the causes of their outbreaks. These are
important aspects for a sustainable commercial optimization and exploitation of Acanthaster planci COT especially for
health related agendas or therapeutic application. This manuscript thus seeks to outline present and future research
strategy and works pertinent to Acanthaster planci COT locally and global focused on evidence-based optimised
sustainable exploitation as well as refining management actions to improve the performance of control programs. Among
deuterostomes, the regenerative potential is maximally expressed in echinoderms such as the Acanthaster planci COT;
these animals can quickly replace most injured organs. In tandem to that, views for further gene related molecular
characterization and chemical analysis of potential cell mediated protein from these marine invertebrates that have
potential in medical and pharmaceutical therapeutics will be highlighted.

“Strategic Chaos”: The Role of International Law
Sanford R. Silverburg, Shadi Alshdaifat
Page no 736-743 |
10.21276/sjhss
This paper sets out the reasons why the role of international law is important in different aspects, and goes on
to explain certain elements regarding chaos in international law, conflicts, human rights, terrorism and global
environment. It will also introduce the United Nations system with a focus on the opinion of the most highly publicists in
international law. As international law seeks to displace chaos, its objective nature and binding force imposes by a higher
authority, create stability and certainty in social relations and impose order where such relations are in danger of breaking
down. The implication is that many of the topics that receive the most attention in international law – the laws of war,
territorial limits, arms agreements, and so on – are unlikely to be affected by international law. On the other hand, issues
such as international economic matters, environmental issues, and so on, can more easily be affected by international law.
This suggests that the international law should focus greater attention on the latter subjects and less on the former.

Dental caries is a complex disease affecting the teeth, which is mainly caused by imbalance between
demineralization and remineralization process around the tooth surface. It is a major cause of tooth loss and pain around
the world. Today it is one of the most common diseases of world which if left untreated lead to infection, pain and tooth
loss. Therefore there is need for early assessment of dental caries to lower its prevalence and to assess efficiency in the
provision of preventive and therapeutic dental services, to know the selective use of dental caries preventives and targeting
of services toward persons at greatest risk. For early assessment of dental caries, indices can be used to know its
prevalence and the population which is at higher risk. There are some limitations in the previously developed dental
caries index regarding the quantification and severity of diseases. To solve these problems later new indices are
developed like ICDAS, PUFA, CAST index. Dental caries index helpful in detection of oral diseases on large scale in
field survey. Provide data regarding prevalence of a particular condition occurring within a given population and use of
this data for the implementation of the dental caries prevention program.

Reliability and Life Data Analysis on the Components of Pump
Mohammed Irfan Ali
Page no 300-304 |
10.21276/sjeat
The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of reliability and life data analysis in manufacturing
facility which allows the maintenance and reliability professionals to analyse the equipment breakdown pattern and help
decide the appropriate maintenance strategy. This study is conducted in one of the manufacturing plants based in Jubail,
Saudi Arabia. They experienced production loss and high maintenance cost due to pump failure. The existing
maintenance strategy is preventive maintenance (time based maintenance) and the plant experienced failure even after
performing the routine maintenance activities. The challenge here is to investigate why the components of pump are
failing after performing maintenance activities and to find the reason for high maintenance cost. A set of critical pumps
are identified which have failed multiple times during past six years from the list of many operational pumps. The
identification of pumps is completed with the help of existing asset criticality ranking system and the time to failure data
is collected from the past six years to perform the reliability and life data analysis. The analysis started by determining
the failure modes of each pump .The highest number of failures are attributed to the failure of pump seals, bearings, and
impellers. The Weibull analysis helps to determine the reliability and its parameters (beta and eta). The shape parameter
beta is represents the failure rate behaviour i.e. if beta is < 1, failure rate decreases with time, if beta is equal to 1, failure
rate is constant, and it beta is > 1, failure rate increase with time and the eta is the scale parameter. After performing the
reliability and life data analysis on the component of a pumps, it’s found that the pump components have different failure
pattern i.e. seals and bearing are having infant mortality or early failure whereas impeller is having random failure. Based
on this outcome of reliability & life data analysis, recommended maintenance task for seals and bearing is predictive
maintenance techniques such as maintenance procedure enhancement, developing the knowledge and skill set of
maintenance crew etc. and for impeller is run to failure. The reason for high maintenance cost is due to the fact the
unplanned maintenance cost is usually 30% higher than the planned maintenance cost and also the maintenance crew was
preforming time based actions on random failure mode which is not adding any value but increases the maintenance cost.

Nahid Sultana
Page no 726-732 |
10.21276/sjhss
Micronutrients are nutrients that are needed in incredibly small quantities for maintaining proper health. In
children, these nutrients may be exceptionally important for growth and proper physiological development. This paper
has discussed the lack of proper attention given to micronutrient deficiency in growing children caused by an insufficient
intake of minerals, B vitamins and essential amino acids, which the body cannot make. Whilst the issue of iodine and
vitamin A deficiency in children has been disseminated to the mainstream, the same has not been done for other
important micronutrients. This a discussion and recommendation paper that has attempted to lay out the importance of
launching a revamped national enlightenment and action programme to address not only persistent Vitamin A deficiency,
but also the much less talked about and operationalized minerals, B Vitamins and essential amino acids.

10.21276/sjbms
This study seek to amplify the chemistry between foreign direct investment, exchange rate, interest rate and
economic development in Nigeria between the periods 1986 to 2015 using Auto Regressive Distributive Lag model.
From the statistical report, we discovered that foreign direct investment and interest rate exhibit a direct relationship to
economic development in Nigeria. Study further suggest that the low rate of interest promote investment paradox and
thus stimulate economic development in Nigeria while the report from the exchange rate shows that if exchange rate is
appreciating, economic development is been stimulated. This therefore suggest that an appreciating exchange rate is
capable of attracting foreign investors and thus promote economic development as the case may be. The interrelationship between exchange rate, foreign investment and economic development is expected to be direct accordingly
such that rise in exchange rate attract foreign investment and thus promote economic development in Nigeria. The policy
implication is that if Exchange Rate appreciates, then Naira will be cheap relative to other currencies, this can attract
Foreign Direct Investment inflow into the Nigerian economy through the window of reduce Naira value and cheap
investment in Nigeria. Based on this findings, study recommends that authorities in charge of managing the Nigerian
economy should as a matter of urgency revamp the lending habit by introducing low interest rate as this will make it
cheaper to borrow and this encourages spending and investment lending to higher aggregate demand which will further
stimulate economic development.

Owing to the apparent inconsistencies in empirical findings in executive compensation and financial
performance studies and the widening gap in the underpinning theories, this study examined the effect of change in
industry-type on compensation-performance study. The study used ex post-facto research design to test its objectives
using ten year data drawn from banking and construction industries with results obtained from data analysis using both
descriptive and inferential statistics. Both correlation and OLS results revealed significantly negative and positive results
on banking and construction industries respectively. The study concludes that industry characteristics like product type,
existence of tangibles and magnitude of returns which differentiates the industries account for the variation of results.
The research recommended investors and providers of funds should factor in the sensitivity of compensation to operating
returns in the determination of investing industry. This is because the higher the sensitivity, the lower the agency costs
and vice versa. Further research is suggested for wider comparative analysis in unrelated and highly diversified industries
for potential theory development.

The future of society depends on the quality of life of its children. The major objective of this research
initiative is ―to assess the level of nutritional awareness among parents of primary school going children‖, in low income
class urban areas by assessing their knowledge of nutrition, and the quantity and quality of food they provide to their
children. Primary school is a time when children are exposed to many influences outside of the family. Parents need to
help their children build healthy foundations by encouraging a habit of consuming healthy foods and maintaining good
nutrition throughout these formative and impressionable years. Due to multiple factors such as the easy availability of
unhealthy restaurant meals, busy lifestyles of parents, and marketing pressures in a globalized world, children more often
than not, do not get the proper nutritious meals that they deserve. These challenges to children‘s nutrition have
implications for national economic growth, healthcare infrastructure and the overall mental, physical and social wellbeing of Bangladeshis. Nutritional awareness on its own means little without practice; hence this study utilizes parent‘s
nutritional practices towards their children as a benchmark of their commitment to their children‘s nutrition.
