Abstract: This is a quasi-experimental method of research aimed to create electronics gadget voltage time delay device for protection of electrical appliances from power spike due to brownouts at affordable cost. Result showed a fluctuation of voltage, current, and power but is ideal based on the three percent voltage drop in a line. The mean temperature for the three treatments in all replicate was normal base on the maximum temperature of the magnetic contactor which is 1000C. The device was used for electronics instruction where the performance of the students was improved based on the pretest and posttest scores. The reliability of the test based on the posttest result was 0.75 interpreted as good which means that the assessment instrument is good; however, there are probably few items which could be improved. Testing the hypothesis of no significant correlation between the pretest and the post test at 0.01 and 0.05 levels of significance, researcher failed to provide sufficient evidence to accept the null hypothesis. The knowledge and skills obtained by the students on the different processes involved during the fabrication of the device can help to engage entrepreneurial activity to augment poverty alleviation.

Search and creation new biologically active compounds which exhibit diuretic action is an current task of the modern Medical Chemistry. In order to identify diuretic activity a series of 5-substituted of 1,3,4-thiadiazole have been investigated. As index of urinary intensity the amount of urine was considered allocated by animals for 2 hours in terms of 100 g of body weight. In determining the diuretic action, a hydrochlorothiazide was selected as a comparative preparation. Screening research which have been conducted together with the study of the effect on the excretory renal function showed that the synthesized compounds exhibit diuretic activity, competing with the comparison standard. The comparative analysis of the biological action of 5-substituted of 1,3,4-thiadiazole and the preparation "Hydrochlorothiazide" showed that the most active among these compounds are derivatives with code 1.1 and 2.2, which significantly exceed the diuretic effect of the reference medicine. The prospectivity and feasibility of further targeted synthesis of this class of substances has shown to create more effective and safe medicines with diuretic action

Russian versus Soviet Military Mobilization in World Wars I and II: A Reassessment

10.21276/sjhss.2017.2.2.8
The paper demolishes an old myth which the Soviet Union created after 1945. The myth is associated with the
victory of USSR against Germany and its allies in Europe during the Second World War. According to the Soviet Union,
the “Great Patriotic War” of 1941-1945, was won because of Stalin leadership and due to the efficient economic
industrial mobilization which the Communist GOSPLAN Central Economic Committee imposed on the economy. The
Soviet era argument compares the victory of 1945 with the defeat of capitalist Russia in 1917, and claims that the
communist organization of the war economy has been very successful compared to the poor organization of capitalist
Russia of 1914-1917 period. The reality is different. The USSR was both heavier industrialized and armed compared to
the Empire of the Czar in 1914. However the USSR suffered more defeats, human and material losses as well as
catastrophes compared to those of the Russian Empire. And these developments occurred as the country enjoyed greater
military and economic aid from the US and Great Britain compared to what was granted to Czarist Russia during 1914-
1917. The biggest paradox however is associated with the post-war settlements. The humiliating defeat which the Czarist
Empire suffered in World War I -and was sealed with the Treaty of Brest Litovsk signed by Lenin- was never
implemented since the Western Allies with the victory of 1918 simply abolished the Treaty. Thus the defeat of 1917
practically did not have a negative outcome. The 1945 victory generated the huge expansion of Soviet sphere of power in
Eastern Europe but the cost of victory was so high that the final outcome can be considered as a pyrrhic victory.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficiency of radiopaque dye, decalcification, and histological
sectioning in detection of accessory canals in mandibular 1st molars. 30 Extracted mandibular 1st molars were selected.
The teeth selected for the study were stored in normal saline. Endodontic access openings were made using a round bur
and pulp tissue was removed from the pulp chamber using a standard spoon excavator. Root canal contents were
extirpated using barbed broach. Complete debridement of root canals was done using files No. 8 to 25, with copious
irrigation using 3% sodium hypochlorite. The teeth were placed in separate bottles containing normal saline and were
labeled. Three different methods were used to study the accessory canals, viz, Radiopaque dye, decalcification, and
histologic sectioning. According to this study, The incidence of lateral and accessory canals for the mandibular first
molar is 46.6%. Results showed that Histological sectioning was significantly ( P = 0.048) better than dye method , but
the difference between the Histological sectioning and decalcification was not significant.

The purpose of this study is to predict the accurate timings for pubertal growth peaks for Class I, Class II - Div
1, Div 2 and Class III. Comparisons are made between the period of the pubertal growth peak in Class I, Class II –Div 1,
Div 2 and Class III subjects. This would help the orthodontist in the following ways: 1) For predicting correct treatment
time for all malocclusions. 2) For benefiting the patient by guiding the growth modification treatment during the
favorable time in a balanced and harmonious manner. 3) To assess skeletal age and pubertal growth spurts are of prime
importance in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, for diagnosis, treatment planning, and retention. This study has
used the Cervical Vertebral Maturation (CVM) technique for the finding of the peak in growth of mandible, based on the
scrutinizing and analysising of the second through fourth cervical vertebrae in a single cephalogram. The lateral
cephalograms of orthodontically untreated or new subjects/ patients, ages 8 through 18 years, were studied. The CVM
stage on each radiograph was assessed and evaluated according to the Baccetti et al method. Skeletal relationship was
evaluated by Steiner’s analysis (By Steiner's analysis: ANB (A point, Nasion, B point) shows whether the relationship
amongst the maxilla and mandible is normal (skeletal class I relationship (+ 2 degrees), a skeletal Class II (+4 degrees or
more), or skeletal Class III (0 or negative). The Duration of pubertal peak in Class I was 5 months longer than class II
patients and 6 months shorter than class III patients. The pubertal peak for Class I subjects lasted 1 year 4 months (in
agreement with previous indications of the literature) whereas in subjects with Class II div 1& div 2 malocclusion it
lasted for a shorter period (11 months) and Class III malocclusion it persisted for a longer period (1 year 10 months).

The right to education is a fundamental right enshrined in the most important legal documents and
international conventions. Nevertheless in countries with ethnic and linguistic divisions, the right to education is not
guaranteed to all and often it is required a genuine implementation of policies in order to achieve inclusiveness and full
realization of this right. In this paper I will analyze how this right is implemented when it comes to national minorities in
the case of FYR of Macedonia. In the first part of this paper I will compare the educational system before and after the
Ohrid Agreement, to find the root causes of the segregation of pupils with different ethnic background in Macedonian
schools today. This phenomena lead to the necessity of a new approach when it comes to education in divided societies:
that of inclusive education. The last chapter will discuss specific policy suggestions in order to overcome barriers to the
inclusiveness in education. In this paper I will mainly use secondary sources such as reports and studies published by
international and regional organizations. Primary sources will be also consulted such as the Macedonian legislation on
the educational sector from 1991.

Unemployment is one of the main problems facing Algeria, due to their negative dimensions and serious
consequences on the country’s economy and social life. Therefore, Algeria government has developed policies of
employment concerning the category of young people; especially university graduates. This is resulting in a new version
of labor, temporary labor instead of permanent labor; that represents an essential mechanism for integration and social
cohesion. The objective of this paper is to investigate labor representation of the young university graduates category
rather than their ambition realized from temporary labor. In this study, a conceptual framework is developed based on
extend literature review and examination of data collected from 60 young university graduates working in public sector.
Globally, there is a difference between female’s and male’s labor representation. Female labor is a way to self –
realization and appreciation in the first confederation and them a means of financial independence. While for the male
labor is festival way to salary then an obligation for society services. As a result of their ambitions, temporary labor may
help to absorb unemployment rate especially for university graduate.

Current methodologies in displaying dynamic organic frameworks regularly need fathomability, particularly
for users without scientific foundation. In this paper propose another way to deal with defeat such confinements by
joining the graphical representation gave by the utilization of Petri nets with the demonstrating of flow by effective yet
natural fuzzy logic based frameworks. We build a fuzzy reasoning Petri net (FRPN) model for the genetic regulatory
network of the lac operon of E. coli bacterium. Depending on the FPN formalism is a decent other option to
mathematical equations that require dynamic parameter qualities and better than Boolean Formalism which naturally sets
control as "on" or "off" guidelines. The lac operon has been considered as a model framework for comprehension the
molecular biology of gene expression with considered to its regulation. We approve our formal model via programmed
checking a progression of characteristics that are known for the control of the lactose. In this way, we demonstrate the
feasibility of utilizing FRPN to design and reason about biochemical systems.

Parshall flume provides economical and flexible water measurement capabilities for a wide variety of open
channel flow situations. The advantages of this structure include minimal head loss, low construction cost, adaptability to
a variety of channel types and ability to measure wide ranges of flow with custom-designed structure. In this study, head
measurements of a stream behind mass communication department, Nnamdi Azikiwe, University were taken using a
fabricated 6-inch Parshall flume for five days. The flow rate of the stream was computed with a Parshall flume equation.
The results achieved shows that the model has good ability to estimate flow rate passing through the fabricated Parshall.
When compared with the free flow calibration table for Parshall flumes, the two results were in good agreement. Flow
rates computed by the fabricated 0.1524m Parshall flume have a slight difference of 0.00002m3/s – 0.00018m3/s, with
that of the free flow calibration. The average error in the estimation of flow rate between them was 0.0032 (0.32%) with
a head loss of 0.0348m.

Completion of root development takes around 3 years after eruption of permanent teeth. Any pulpal injury in
this period can lead to necrosis of pulp. Pulp necrosis of immature permanent teeth may impair root development and
apical closure of root canals. Management of immature non vital teeth is very challenging for a clinician because teeth
may have wide open apex and thin root canal walls that may diverge towards the apex. Conventional cleaning and
shaping of the canals and obturation may not be possible because of the lack of apical stop. This case report presents two
cases of apexification. First case, managed using Calcium hydroxide and iodoform paste for multiple visit apexification
which had a rare apexogenesis like outcome and second case using MTA for single visit apexification followed by root
reinforcement with Glass fiber reinforced composite post.

This review was indicated on healthcare development of Cambodia and Kazakhstan. This paper aimed to
comparison studies on healthcare system between Cambodia and Kazakhstan. The healthcare system of these two
countries is significantly different, and healthcare reform in Kazakhstan was just a little better than in Cambodia;
although, the health situation in both countries was virtually the same, and needs the government to improve more on this
sector. The MOH is the principal authority who has overall responsibility on this sector, and strongly assures this sector
has been improving. In suggestion, to enhance this sector, MOH should be watchful on policies, legislation, strategic
plan, financing and increasing health workforce.
