Flask paraplegic during the infection by the virus of human immunodeficiency (HIV) are very strong and with multiple etiology. The author report a case of flask paraplegic which was the circumstance to discover HIV sero positive with a patient. The aim was to illustrate the difficulties of etiology diagnostic despite the realization of tom densitometry and of medullar IRM. It was a young lady with had 27 years of age who had been admitted for chronic cough, flask paraplegic and a retention of urine. The analysis during her admission notified a flask paraplegic, some sphincterien troubles, without sensibility troubles. There was no signal neither of Babinski nor amyotrophic. The examination of respiratory organ notified a syndrome of pulmonary bilateral condensation. The CT Scan of sacred lamb rachis focused on some discal protrusions of lamb sacred, and the IRM showed an aspect of inflammatory myelite. The pulmonary radio showed interstitial pneumopathy with a right scissurite. The research of some BAAR became negative. The retroviral became HIV positive and the quantity of lymphocytes TCD4 at 118 cellular/ mm3 with a viral charge of 74 782 copies/ ml. The diagnostic of myelite caused by HIV combined to pneumopathy was retained.
In this paper, we have suggested a class of improved ratio estimators for finite population variance. The proposed class of estimators is obtained by transforming both the sample variances of study and auxiliary variables. The MSE of the proposed estimators have been obtained and the conditions for their efficiency over some existing variance estimators have been established. The present family of finite variance estimator, having obtaining the optimal values of the constants, exhibit significant improvement over the estimators considered in the study. The empirical study is also conducted to corroborate the theoretical results and the results show that the proposed class of estimators is more efficient.
The issue of equitable power sharing in the All Progressives Congress (APC) controlled federal legislature has been very contentious in the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria. This paper analyses the legislative politics and politics of office distribution in Nigeria focusing on how elite struggles for power and influence shape the internal conflicts and implementation of zoning principles in the National Assembly. Legislatures evolve and develop internally in reaction to broader political environment. Zoning and rotation principle are part of a democratic culture used to address the problems inherent in a plural society of underdeveloped states. The zoning principle is structured to deliberately ensure some degree of diversity. This is indispensable to the maintenance of the Nigerian State due to its diversity in ethnicity, religion, language, education, etc. This article analyses the conflicts arising from an attempt to change the zoning principle and office distribution imbedded in the federal character principle in Nigeria. It focuses on how elite struggle for power and money shape the conception, implementation, and continuity of zoning of offices and positions in order to maintain ethnic balancing. The article adopts a methodology involving qualitative research based on a review of published literature. The study recommended the reintroduction of zoning principle for maintaining zonal equilibrium as a modality for ethnic diversity balancing and management.
Doing business in and with China has become much easier than it was decades ago. But doing business does not guarantee that everyone will make money. China has embarked an unprecedented economic growth since its economic reforms (1978) three decades ago, rising to become the world’s second largest economy today and will become largest by 2020. A new path under the 12th Five-Year plan (2011-2015) towards sustainable and balanced development, alongside a focus on boosting domestic consumption is opening new opportunities in china for continued industrial innovation and business expansion. China still holds a number of challenging areas for foreign investors. Beside the cultural and language challenge, business men might be faced foreign exchange restrictions, anti-trust laws, intellectual property rights and diversified people in all over china.
Induction is a prevalent cognitive method in science, while inductive computations are popular in many fields of computer and network technology. The most advanced mathematical model of inductive computations and reasoning is an inductive Turing machine, which is natural extension of the most widespread model of computing devices and computations - Turing machine. In comparison with Turing machines, inductive Turing machines represent the next step in the development of computer science providing better models for contemporary computers and computer networks. In this paper (Section 3), we study relations between inductively computable sets, inductively recognizable sets, inductively decidable sets and inductively computable functions. In addition (Section 4), we apply the obtained results to algorithmic information theory demonstrating how inductive Turing machines allow obtaining more information for essentially decreasing complexity in comparison with Turing machines.
Businesses generally are created or established to maximize profit through effective and efficient management of human and material resources in line with their predetermined vision, mission, policy and goal(s). In the course of maximising profits companies annex natural resources-foreign and local, as a result impacting positively and negatively in the environment where it exists. In other to remedy the problems brought about by the operations of these companies to the people and environment where they operate, the management of these businesses through rendering of some social services in turn pay back to the community, hence the concept corporate social responsibility (CSR). It is in line with the above statement that this paper aims at studying the commitment of foreign as well as local businesses in achievement of corporate social responsibility in Nigeria. The research adopted the qualitative research, as it reviews the literature relating to the problems of implementing CSR in Nigeria. After critical x-ray of related write-ups on the topic under study, we found out that some factors such as inability of Nigeria Government to enforce CSR into Law, corruption and selfishness, lack of interest in implementing CSR, political and social insecurity poses as a serious obstacle to companies to implement CSR effectively and efficiently in Nigeria. Finally the study recommended among other things that the Government of Nigeria should put into law, which is providing a legal framework for companies on Corporate Social Responsibility. This will make CSR to be taken seriously and seen as obligatory as against non-obligatory.
Objective:To investigate the histological changes in the skin tissue covering the area surrounding the ulceration of the diabetic foot. Patients & Methods: The study was performed on 30 patients who were classified into 3 groups 10 patient in each. Group I is the control group have no diabetes, group II with diabetes mellitus type I, and Group III patients with diabetes mellitus type II. All the diabetic patients showed various degrees of skin lesions in the foot. Specimens of skin tissue were obtained from the area surrounding the diabetic ulcer from Al-Jumhuri Teaching Hospital and the histological analysis was performed in the Department of Anatomy, College of Medicine, University of Mosul from November 2015 to June 2016. The specimens were processed for the standard histological examination using Hematoxylin and Eosin, and Orcein-VanGieson stains. Results: The skin sections were dominated by the presence of hyperkeratosis in the epidermis with regular acanthosis in addition to dense chronic inflammatory cells infiltration in the dermis, absence or degeneration of the sweat glands, perivascular lymphocytic infiltration ,focal areas of necrosis and melanin pigmentation in the dermis. The large arterioles and arteries of muscular type revealed fibrous tissue deposition at the level of media while the peripheral nerves showed an obvious degeneration of Schwann cells. Conclusions: The vascular changes in the diabetic foot appears in the microcirculation level (capillaries) then involves arterioles and arteries of muscular type and were accompanied by morphological changes of the Ù£ peripheral nerves.The morphological changes in the skin surrounding the diabetic foot ulcer involves both the epidermis and dermis. The identification of histological and vascular alterations in the diabetic foot allows more knowledge related to the pathogenesis and pathological background of this condition.
Purpose of the work: The work was aimed at the study of the changes of the system of hemostasis and of blood rheology during the progression of infection in patients with lower-limb and facial erysipelas and to validate the advisability of replacement and/or antithrombotic therapy. Material and methods: the author studied the indices of external (time of prothrombin (PT), international normalized ratio(INR)) and internal (activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)) coagulation pathways, the degree of disfibrino-genemiya (thrombin time (TT), functional fibrinogen activity and D-dimer level), the amount and functional activity of the platelets (aggregation with adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and the erythrocytes (aggregation with lanthanoid (LaCl3) and protamine sulfate( PS)) in 60 cases of erysipelas. The studied indices also included endothelial dysfunction – the decrease of athrombogenicity of vascular wall endothelium (antithrombin III (AT III) and protein C) and the increase of endothelial adhesive properties (von Willebrand factor(vWf)).
This study has attempted to investigate the relationship between, energy consumption, CO2 emissions and economic growth in Ethiopia, using time series data from 1970/71 to 2010/11. The finding indicates variables of interests are integrated of the same order I (1). Cointegration test approves existence of one co-integrating equation among the variables. The causality test result shows energy consumption causes Economic Growth in Ethiopia. Based on the outcome shocks to energy consumption have a negative impact on economic growth. The contributions of energy consumption to CO2 emissions were insignificant and economic growth is positively related to CO2 emissions. To secure the sustenance of CO2 emissions free economic growth in Ethiopia, cost effective, carbon free, and efficient utilization of renewable energy consumption based on the country comparative advantage that consider alternative use of resources are advisable like Hydro and Geothermal.
At or near saturation, collapsible soils undergo a rearrangement of their grains and water removes the cohesive (or cementing) material. In Borg El Arab, near Alexandria Egypt, soils exhibit high susceptibility for collapse when saturated. In this paper, inundation stress has been applied to investigate its effect on the collapse potential and permeability behavior of Borg El Arab soil. Because of the collapse of soil when wetted low bearing capacity and rapid substantial settlement are developed and makes it unsuitable as foundation soil or pavements sub-base in their natural condition. The collapsible soil may be treated by remove and replace method to improve strength. Experimental program was developed to explore the effect of types of compacted replacement on collapsibility potential. A series of tests were carried out to search for the most suitable types of partial replacement and the location of source of surface wetting to evaluate their effects on the reduction of settlement of a footing on collapsible soil when inundation occurs. The results show that inundationstress have strong effect on collapse potential and permeability coefficient. The behavior of a shallow foundation rests on compacted sand / crushed stone layers as partial replacement over treated collapsible soil by pre-wetting and compaction is investigated.
