The anti-homosexual stance of the Nigerian government has provoked intense debate and threats from some parts of the West (especially the pro-homosexual parts). However, this campaign will remain a hoax if left at its current level without a deeper look at the socio-structural issues giving impetus to the growing homosexual community around the world. Thus, this paper examines the social and structural indicators of homosexuality in certain Nigeria educational institutions and the contra-cultural elements stemming from the social media. The single sex educational institutions and the unrestrained pluralization of the social media are implicit enablers of this social phenomenon. The social learning theory and the post-modernity theory aptly provide the theoretical framework for understanding the subject-matter. It argues that homosexuality, is socially learnt and a product of a post-modernizing society.

One objective of Healthy People 2020 identifies the use of information technology (IT) as a health communication strategy for the promotion of population health and health equity. The purpose of this assignment is to describe creative application of evidence-based best practices through userfriendly web designs. It is integral for all educators, especially health professionals, to use relevant I T,as delivery of health information and services continues to expand. Using eportfolios in classroom assignments and as a capstone activity can assist faculty members with evaluating and understanding student outcomes. E-portfolio and technology are not foreign concepts to students, but student understanding of what it means to be a professional, and to integrate professional concepts into personal and professional behaviors, were necessary at the onset of educational programs. Using e-portfolios promoted critical reflection; particularly when students were introduced early in their professional programs to the collection of relevant artifacts

Cloud computing is among the most promising technologies of the recent days, with the potential to reach $204 billion by the end of 2016. Almost all major tech companies provide cloud services of one sort or another like computing clusters and cloud storage. Cloud services can be provisioned as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and they can be deployed as private, community, public or hybrid clouds. Cloud computing provides several advantages like ease-of-deployment, no maintenance and up-front costs, and rapid and efficient scalability. But it does pose several challenges with regards to security of data and privacy issues, and many security sensitive companies tend to shy away from cloud services due to this very reason.

The Cloud Computing (CC) paradigm has become popular among Small to Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) due to the promise of cost effective access to the latest applications via a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). There are many factors and pitfalls of Cloud Computing adoption as well as benefits to SMEs which have been highlighted through a research project that involved SMEs from the West Midlands UK. This paper outlines the challenges SMEs face when considering Platform as a Service (PaaS) adoption, and highlights that lack of understanding of the technology has either meant SMEs have not adopted Cloud Computing or have experienced difficulties with the adoption as important considerations where not evaluated. Through a comprehensive investigation a theoretical framework – Cloud Step followed by an interactive tool – PaaS Cloud Dial have been developed to aid SMEs in understanding what factors need to be considered prior adoption of PaaS. Both have been validated through work with SMEs and the findings obtained from the validation procedure indicated that both the framework and application are valuable and suitable in supporting SMEs risk assessment and decision making process regrading Cloud adoption.

Baseline results revealed various factors, which affect provision of quality services in Wolaita Sodo University. The study revealed that Wolaita Sodo University has major problem of deficiencies in the use of its financial resources effectively; lack effective and efficient leaders that follow the service provided and do not motivate and create friendly relationship with the employees; lack of arrangement of trainings for employees and orientation to new employees; poor promotion and incentives systems; low employees work commitment; lack of employees job satisfaction and organizational cultures established in the university does not create a welcoming atmosphere and good relationship for its employees.

Ageing is a biological process, experienced by mankind. Ageing is a dynamic process, determined by the relative size of the younger and older. However, concern for Ageing of population is a relatively new phenomenon, which has raised due to significantly large increase in the number and proportion of aged persons in the society. The phenomenon of population Ageing is becoming a major concern for the policy makers all over the world during the last two decades. Ageing of population is affected due to downward trends in fertility and mortality i.e. due to low birth rates with long life expectancies. Life expectancy at birth is projected to continue to rise in the coming years all over the world. The aged population has specific health problems that are basically different from those of adults or young persons. Most diseases in the aged are chronic in naturecardiovascular, arthritis, stroke, cataract, deafness, chronic infections, cancer. Disease process is usually multiple. Availability and utilization of health services is an important determinant of the health status of population. The needs for health services tend to vary directly with the age of the individuals. The older the one gets, the more health care he needs. Although the aged people face multiple health problems, even then, they do not consider seeking medical aid and as a result, many conditions remain unreported and untreated till they become complicated. This emphasizes the need for strengthening of health care system for elderly population. According to Paul Wallace, all individuals should be prepared to face later years in life within their own limitation gloriously.

Experimental study was conducted at Debrezeite Agricultural Research Center with proper experimental set up. Indigenous and koekeok chickens were used in four treatments and a control groups with three replications each. The replications were 12 local and 19 koekoek chickens. The four treatments use I2 vaccine through eye drop, water, parboiled barley and litter spray. Pre vaccination serum was collected at day 1, 14 and 20 while post vaccination was taken at day 36, 46 and at pre-challenge. Sample was also taken 8 days after the challenge with wild ND strain. Pathogenic Index HI and survival rate were used. The result shows, the antibody response and the pathogenic index was not significantly different between breeds but protection was higher in all treatments than the control. Chickens vaccinated with ocular and spraying has lower pathogenic index and higher survival rate than the rest. But for village system spray vaccination is recommended over ocular and others because it easy to administer, effective and can also be performed by trained farmers.

Background: Laser fluorescence for caries detection, caries detecting dyes and air abrasion, as an exploratory tool, aid in practicing minimal invasive dentistry. AIM: To clinically assess newer method of caries detection of non cavitated lesions and to contrast and correlate with the traditional methods Materials and Methods: 200 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria in first and or second mandibular molar were included in the study. Depending on the laser fluorescence values, visual and radiographic scoring the selected patients were designated to the following groups: Group I: 0-14 DIAGNOdent reading, Ekstrand criteria scoring- 0 in both clinical and radiographic evaluation. No caries- No active treatment (Control) Group II: 15- 25 DIAGNOdent reading, Ekstrand criteria scoring- 0, 1 in both clinical and radiographic evaluation. Remineralized by CPP ACP F paste. Group III: > 25 DIAGNOdent reading, Ekstrand criteria scoring- 0, 1, 2, in both clinical and radiographic evaluation. Enamel biopsy was done by Air Abrasion. Statistical Analysis: The statistical analysis was done by Chi square test of significance for proportion analysis. Result: Of 200 teeth which were evaluated, it was found that 153 patients had caries, but it was correctly detected in 150 patients by laser fluorescence, in 83 patients by visual method and in 50 patients by radiographic method. Conclusion: 1. Laser fluoresce method of caries detection is a valuable adjunct in caries detection. 2. Air abrasion can be used as an exploratory tool to confirm hidden caries.

Conservation laws, consisting of the existence of quantities which do not change in time, independent of the dynamical evolution of a system, are crucial and vital for the construction of any dynamical system theory. The basic properties such as conservation of energy, momentum, angular momentum, charge, isospin, or generalization thereof are fundamental and must be guaranteed by a physical system, if it is to give a valid description of nature. One persistent objection against the concept of superluminal entities is based on the anticipation of fast energy loss which could be incurred under Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation, with the consequent prediction that no such particles could be detected. Yet presently, no theoretical or experimental explication exists which justifies this claim. Here we show, in the limit of a kinematically permissible and non-dispersive medium, that energy conservation is feasible. Corresponding to radiation intensities from large energy-momentum transfer, when the parameter 𝑘𝑘 of the generalized linear velocity of the superluminal free spin-half field is made sufficiently large, Cherenkov cone becomes flattened at 90𝑜𝑜 with direction of motion, bringing the radiated energy to merge with the circulating energy flow in the wave field of the particle.

Cloud computing becoming attractive tool for delivering web-based services. It can enable rapid development and dynamic scaling and it offers flexible powerful but low cost distribution infrastructure. In paper we proposed new infrastructure capabilities to support dynamic networks. In the network layer Allocation of resource at specific locations and those sites are connects by backbone supporting provisional virtual links. Each location constructs one data center for processing of resource specified by function. Application controller updates the distribution information and multicast to access nodes for load balancing of flow of packets and regulating the traffic flow within application cluster to avoid congestion. The processing elements create the virtual output queues to adjust to prevent output congestion.
