Abstract:
Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are chemical compound classes based on carbon, classified persistent organic pollutants (POPs), and produced for agricultural purposes. OCPs are used in the cotton-growing, which nowadays is one of these compounds attraction mainstays in Benin, although their use has been banned as a result of the 2001 Stockholm Convention. Indeed, OCPs brought up problems including environmental contamination (soils, sediment, water, air, and biota), hazards to organisms and also human health disorders. Due to their fate solubility and persistence, they were detected in Benin food commodities, food chains and webs (vegetables, meat, milk, fish, crabs, amphibians, birds).

Abstract:
All human societies have a social structure that divides people into categories based on a combination of achieved and ascribed traits. The kinds of categories McCall cites gender, race, age, and membership in exclusive social organizations. Most Americans also increasingly disagreeing with the statement “the American Dream has become impossible for most people to achieve” leading to the conclusion that most Americans are increasingly satisfied with the opportunity to get ahead. To answer these questions, data was taken from a survey conducted on Brigham Young University (BYU) students from various class backgrounds. It is interesting to see that 61% of rich people strongly agree that there are still great differences between social levels in the United States. This is against McCall’s findings.

Abstract:
Economics and Politics are bedfellows. An increment in either leads to the increment of the other. The cooperation of more than one economy to achieve common development has a definite impact on politics. How this is impacted is based on the manner with which economic cooperation is undertaken, and secondly by the factor of power politics. Democracy and governance in Africa are embroiled in several circumstantial factors, integration of African economies being one of them (Mwencha, 2008:26). These factors do influence each other, either positively or negatively.

Abstract:
This paper examines the effect of firm specific variables on stock returns of financial and non-financial enterprises in Nepal. Fixed effects regression models are estimated to identify causal relationship of firm size, book-to-market ratio, leverage, earnings yield and assets growth with adjusted stock return. A balanced panel data of 110 observations for 11 non-financial firms and 120 observations for 12 commercial banks listed in NEPSE are taken for the study covering a 10 year period from 2009 till 2018. Comparative analysis is done by estimating sector wise regression models. For non-financial firms, fixed effects model performed better than random effect model and OLS model suggested by Hausman test and Wald test. OLS model showed better by Wald test for financial firms. The findings reveal that size and book-to-market equity ratio have significant negative impact on stock returns in the non-financial firms. However for financial firms only book-to-market ratio shows significant negative impact on stock returns in univariate and bivariate models. Leverage is observed to have positive impact on stock return at 10 percent level of significance in univariate model for financial firms.

Abstract:
This research study explores the significance of using symbols in poetry titles. Taking A. E. Houseman’s poem “Farewell to Barn and Stack and Tree,” the study explores the geographical and social background that is created using symbolism in the title. This study also analyses the contribution these symbolic elements of the title make towards the better understanding of the poem. Though there is a plethora of studies conducted on the significance of symbolism in poetry, very few have focused on the typical usage of symbolism in the poetry titles. Moreover, this selected text remains unexplored in terms of the understanding of the title. By using textual analysis method, and by the application of the understanding of symbolism, the study is taken forward with an approach to explore further. The analysis understands, that symbolism used in title influences readers’ understanding of the poem in terms of the background, and that is, the Barn as the symbol of home, stack as the workplace and tree, the social space.

Abstract:
Fortification of biscuit was carried out by blending wheat flour with moringa leaf powder on 1:10 (w/w) ratio. The moringa wheat flour biscuit (MWFB) was evaluated for proximate composition and organoleptic appeal against biscuit produced from wheat flour (WFB). Results show that addition of moringa leaf powder marginally (p>0.05) increased the moisture content of biscuit from 15.90 to 16.01%, ash from 3.75 to 4.09%, protein from 11.14 to 11.47%, and significantly (p<0.05) increased the fiber from 0.71 to 1.28%. There was marginal (p>0.05) decrease in carbohydrate from 49.38% in (WFB) to 47.80% in MWFB. Sensory results show that (WFB) was significantly (p<0.05) superior in color with 7.95 compared to the 6.70 of MWFB. The MWFB significantly (p<0.05) excelled in texture with 7.5 compared to the 7.25 of the WFB, and in taste (7.85) against 7.40. The general acceptability score (8.0) of the MWFB was significantly (p<0.05) higher than the 7.50 of WFB. The results suggest that moringa leaf powder can be used to improve nutritional and sensorial qualities of biscuits.

In the 2011 and 2015 Presidential elections, the two leading candidates, one a Christian from South, and the other a Muslim from North, practically pitched the religious and ethnic cleavages of the electorate against each other.

Abstract:
The Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection works on the basis of the back-off algorithm which gives a range of time slots for a particular device and a particular packet, once a collision is detected. The node selects a random time slot to retransmit and each time if collision occurs, the probability of success keeps on increasing for that node only, decreasing the probability for other nodes in the network, who might want to transmit packets in an empty time slot. I propose an external device which allocates specific time slots for the nodes who might want to transmit packets after a collision has occurred. This method also utilizes a clock on each node and the channel must be divided into multiple bandwidth gaps.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a strategy for designing pitch, yaw and supervisory control of wind turbine including a 3D modeling of the whole system. The system is considered here to avoid mechanical losses as well as maintain a constant rotor speed in wind turbine. The wind speed will be varying from time to time, so to protect the turbine from any kind of damage due to wind speed variation, the pitch control system is designed. The direction of nacelle is also varying with time to capture the maximum energy from the air, a yaw control system is

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Men often have prostatic lesions especially with advancement in age above 50 years. Lesions of the prostate are common health problems globally with prostate cancer said to be the second commonest malignancy in men. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a nonspecific marker but very sensitive for prostatic lesions. Benign and malignant prostatic lesions cause appreciable enlargement of the gland and significant rise in PSA. Transrectal ultrasonography is a readily available and affordable imaging modality for evaluating the prostate.

Abstract:
In the current Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol, a back off algorithm is followed upon encountering a collision between two frames sent by different systems. This algorithm involves the generating of random numbers in both the stations whose messages collided. If a re-collision occurs, the numbers are chosen from a larger range of integers. The station then has to wait for that much amount of time before retransmission.

Abstract:
Fireflies that attract all other fireflies or be attracted to other fireflies which are of higher brightness is the basis of the firefly algorithm. It is an optimization algorithm of calculating objective functional values. In this paper with the use of discrete wavelet transform the implementation of firefly algorithm is done and the experimental results of using certain number of initial and randomly allocated fireflies are used to calculate certain parameters which gives the ratio between the maximum signal power and maximum noise power, bit error rate(BER), coefficient measuring the degree of similarity(Corr), the normalized cross correlation(NC) between the watermarked image and original image.

Abstract:
Attainment of education related millennium development goals in Kenya is largely hinged on availability and appropriate use of unit cost to acquire supportive inputs to the education process. The introduction of capitation in secondary schools was aimed at providing the economically disadvantaged with an opportunity to benefit from government sponsored education provision. However, there are indications that providing this education is now beyond the scope of Kenya’s ordinary education budget, owing to 95% transition in the year 2019.

Abstract:
India is unique because of its diversity. The Indian census of 1961 recognized 1652 different languages in India including languages which are not native to this land. But recently the move made by the central government to impose Hindi all over the country is yet another attack on the Assamese community in particular and also on other linguistic groups in general.

Abstract:
Meat is considered a source of high quality proteins. Meat is a very good source of animal protein that consists of essential amino acid, minerals, vitamins and essential fatty acids (Lawrie, 1991). Meat provides calories from fat, proteins and limited quantities of carbohydrate (Judge et al., 1990). Lean meat contains from 15 to 20% of protein, which varies inversely with percentage of fat. It is also one of the few foods which provide complete protein as well as being rich source of such essential nutrients as iron, niacin and vitamin B12 (Lawrie, 1991).

Prenatal Life Education Based on Family Christian Religious Education
Abstract:
This study aims to provide an understanding of the task of Christian Religious Education (PAK) so far that only includes students starting from children, adolescents, youth and the elderly while PAK to humans (fetuses) who begin to become living creatures since in the mothers womb (education prenatal) received less emphasis. Therefore this research would like to provide a rationale that PAK life to the fetus must be a priority scale.
