This article shows that right to vote is a recognized human right, under many international human rights instruments, that should be respected and ensured to citizens without any discrimination. It, after scrutinizing the election laws of Ethiopia via the mirror of the constitution and international human rights instruments, determines that the election laws of Ethiopia, which prohibit prisoners’ right to vote, are unconstitutional and recommends the Ethiopian government to reconcile it again.

The construction industry is a significant part of economic in each country and makes an important contribution to gross domestic product, employment and capital formation. There are various problems encountering the construction industry and these hardships run rather deeper in developing countries. Purpose/methodology: In an effort to investigate and develop the construction industry in developing countries in Asia, especially in Iran, this study aims to examine the understanding, profitability and public satisfaction about the construction project and focuses on nine areas of distinct project management knowledge in order to verify their level of implementation these factors into the construction context. The large number of professionals of construction industry of Iran was chosen for this research, the research was conducted through a structured questionnaire. The analysis method in this research is quantitative. SPSS version 19 was used to analysis the data. Findings: This study finds out that public satisfaction have direct effect on profitability of the constructions project and, also a majority of respondents believe that project managers have an effective role to develop construction industry. In addition, the level of implementation project management knowledge areas in current construction industry in Iran is less than average.

Proximate composition, mineral composition and anti-nutrient factors were determined in the hull and cotyledons of the kernel of dika nut (Irvingia gabonensis) on dry weight basis. Higher values (g/100 g) protein, fat, ash, fiber, dry matter, fatty acid and calorific value were recorded in the cotyledon. In minerals, the levels in cotyledon were higher than hull in (mg/100 g): Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Fe, Cd, Ni, and P and in [K (Ca + Mg)], Ca/P and Ca/Mg. In the anti-nutrients, hull was higher in tannin, oxalate, phytate, phytin phosphorus, saponins, alkaloids and phytin phosphorus as a percentage of total phosphorus. The levels of Phy: Zn, Ca: Phy and Ca: Phy/Zn was good enough in the hull and cotyledon for the body to absorb calcium and zinc for its physiological activities. Significant differences existed between the hull and the cotyledon in all the parameters determined with high positive rxy at r = 0.05.

In the present world scenario, in most of the places, people have been using English (American, British, Australian, etc) for business communication. There are a few pockets in this world, where English is not spoken. But, majority of the people in the world speak, read, and write English; they also use it to further their business needs, skills, and requirements. People who are from non-native English speaking countries need to learn this language separately as their second language, whereas native speakers, whose first language is English ,not only speak it fluently since their childhoods but also it in their day - to - day inter action. Interest in learning-strategies began with the publication of papers col1ctiveIy known as the ?good language 1earner” studies (Cohen & 998). Since then, hundreds of studies have been generated that lock at different aspects of learning-strategies and their roles in second 1anguage learning.

The problem of accident is very acute in highway transportation, leading to loss of life and property. The various causes of road accidents are road users, vehicular defects, road condition, road design, environmental factors and other causes such as improper location of advertisement boards, improper location of level crossings not closed when required etc. Road accidents cannot be totally prevented, but by adopting suitable traffic engineering and management systems the accident rate can be reduced to a certain extent. Proper investigation of the cause of accident will help to propose preventive measures in terms of design and control. With this back ground in the present the detailed investigation on the quantification of accidents in Nandyal town, Andhra Pradesh has been carried out and suitable remedial measures has been suggested by conducting through filed investigations.

The dorsal elastofibroma is a rare benign soft-tissue tumor that is slowly progressive and is present in 99% of cases in the sub-scapular region, occurring in the active elderly. The diagnosis can be established on the typical topography of the mass and its characteristic aspect in CT and MRI.The purpose of this study is to highlight the diagnostic characteristics of the elastofibroma and to evaluate the rarity and the existence of bilateral localization.This study reports the case of a 62-year-old housewife with a bilateral location of scapular dorsal elastofibroma, the largest and most symptomatic of which is the left-sided.The diagnosis of the elastofibroma is clinical above all , it is evoked before any dorsal under scapular mass sometimes painful or genat the back and the shoulder mobility.Computed tomography or MRI is the key test for diagnosing the tumor, and some authors report that the specific and evocative appearance of the elastofibroma on the imagery is largely sufficient to confirm its diagnosis, while others believe that the anatomo-pathological examination of the mass is irreplaceable not to miss a malignant or more aggressive tumor.Elastofibroma is a rare benign tumor soft tissues that deserve to be known, for a better adapted therapeutic attitude, its typical location and radiological studies characteristics should evoke the diagnostic. Surgical excision allows histological diagnosis and constitutes the treatment of these tumors.

This paper presents realization of semi Gaussian (S-G) shaper circuits for detector readout front ends. The circuits are based on current difference transconductance amplifier (CDTA) and differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA) and can operate in voltage and current mode. The proposed circuits use grounded capacitors and thus make these suitable from integration viewpoint. The theoretical propositions are verified through extensive SPICE simulations using 0.25?m TSMC CMOS technology model parameters. The performance of proposed topologies is compared in terms of total harmonic distortion, power dissipation, dynamic range, signal to noise ratio (SNR) and output noise.

Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign lesion of the oral cavity that presents as a solitary red or purple nodule. The routine treatment option for PG is excisional biopsy although the lesion may recur due to several factors such as residual tissue after excision or persistent etiologic factors. This case report presents a recurrent PG lesion in a 25-year old male with significant recurrence of swelling observed several months after excision. A combination procedure of excision and open flap debridement prevented further recurrence.

This study aims to investigate the relation of playing types of computer games- sports, warship, training and strategic- with self-regulated learning strategies and motivational beliefs among male students of 3rd grade of high school. The methodology of this study is descriptive of correlation type. The samples include 260 students from high schools of different districts of Sabzevar selected by stratified random sampling among different fields of study- basic science, mathematics and liberal arts. To evaluate the self-regulated learning and motivational beliefs strategies, there was used of Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire developed by Pintrich & De-Groot (1990) and for evaluating the computer games, there was used of two factors, including time spent for playing games per week and type of computer games- sports, warship, training and strategic. For data analysis, there was used of descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics including Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Regression. Results indicated that there is generally no significant relation between time spent for types of PC games- sports, warship, training and strategic, with self-regulated learning and motivational beliefs strategies; while games are studied separately based on their type, there can be seen a significant relation between time spent for training PC games with self-regulated learning and motivational beliefs strategies, while there is no significant relation between time spent for other types of PC games- sports, warship and strategic with self-regulated learning and motivational beliefs strategies.

The preparation of berbamine-loaded chitosan-agarose microspheres was studied. Optimum preparing parameters were determined by orthogonal experiments as follows: ratio of berbamine to chitosan (w/w) is 1:10; percentage of emulsifier (span 80, v/v) is 6%; volume of glutaraldehyde is 2 mL; and reaction temperature is 70°C. Under these optimal conditions, the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of microspheres are 84.57% and 8.44%, respectively. The berbamine-loaded microspheres were spherical with smooth surface, uniform size and without aggregation morphology. In vitro release studies showed that berbamine was released from microspheres in a significantly sustained fashion.
