Abstract: The study focuses on the design, manufacturing, structural improvements and behavior of the floor systems during loading at the serviceability and ultimate limit states. This paper reviews recent developments in prefabricated construction systems using light steel and modular technologies, and describes the economic context in which the use of these systems has expanded. The composite construction concept offers flexibility in the assembly process, the ability to adapt to various load and boundary requirements, and efficient utilization of material properties that result in a light weight prefabricated structural element. The activities described in this paper are an extension of previous work where composite floor panels composed of light gauge steel joists were integrally cast with a thin-walled Engineered Cementations Composite slab.

Abstract: Ex-post-facto to research design was used to assess the occurrence of dysentery, diarrhea, typhoid and malaria in Onitsha, Nigeria within the period 2011-2014 using records available at four hospitals strategically located within the city. Responses from questionnaires and visual observations during on-the-spot check for practices of open defecation sources of water supply and waste disposal system in the city were used to substantiate information from the hospital records. Occurrences of the four diseases were very high in the city. Malaria had the highest occurrence (16,393 in 2011, 14,974 in 2012, 12,720 in 2013 and 12,193 in 2014). Typhoid fever had occurrence of 6,459 in 2011, 4,865 in 2012, 5,010 in 2013 and 5,061 in 2014. Diarrheal diseases recorded 5,194 in 2011 while dysentery occurrence was 1,143 in 2011, 1488 in 2012, 1,011 in 2013 and 1,123 in 2014. The occurrence of the four diseases in the area was found not to be dependent on season. Diarrhea was found to occur more among age group 0-4 years. Malaria showed slightly higher occurrence in females than males. There were evidence of bad environmental hygiene and sanitation practices in the city and these were thought to be responsible for the high prevalence of the diseases in the area.

MSc student of Industrial Engineering, economic and social systems engineering, Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, Tehran, Iran

 

Abstract: In this paper, applying Supply Chain Management (SCM) in various organizations has been studied. SCM is the management of the flow of goods and services. Effective supply chain management (SCM) has become a potentially valuable way of securing competitive advantage and improving organizational performance since competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. This research conceptualizes and develops five dimensions of SCM practice (strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, level of information sharing, quality of information sharing, and postponement) and tests the relationships between SCM practices, competitive advantage, and organizational performance. Data for the study were collected from 196 organizations and the relationships proposed in the framework were tested using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that higher levels of SCM practice can lead to enhanced competitive advantage and improved organizational performance. Also, competitive advantage can have a direct, positive impact on organizational performance.

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis among pupils (aged 6- 13 years) of Community Primary School, Amagunze in Nkanu East LGA, Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of two hundred (200) urine samples were randomly collected from the pupils (87 males and 113 females). The urine samples were collected in the month of August, 2013 into sterile urine containers and were examined microscopically in the laboratory using string sedimentation technique. Hematuria was assessed using chemical reagent strip (medi-test combi-9 sticks). The overall prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium infection was 11 (5.5%); with 7 (8.0%) cases for males and 4 (3.5%) for females but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Prevalence rate was also observed to be higher among age group of 10-13 years with 4 (6.5%) compared to age group of 6-9 years with7 (5.1%), but the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference (P ˂ 0.05) between the pupils who were positive for schistosomiasis (11) and those who presented with hematuria (21). However, there was no close association between hematuria and the presence of eggs of S. haematobium in the urine. Hematuria gave a sensitivity of 64% and a specificity of 93% when compared to microscopy. The results of the findings show that the disease is endemic in the area under study. It is thus, recommended that control programs be organized in the state that would be geared towards creating awareness amongst the people and reducing the rate of infection.

Abstract: This study was aimed at isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility characterization of isolates of Salmonella species from blood and urine culture of outpatients attending hospital whose clinical history of fever fell within a period of first to fourth week of infections. A total of 24 (17.52%) isolates identified as Salmonella species by using cultural, biochemical and serological analysis were recovered from 137 samples (75 blood samples and 62 urine samples). Predominant isolates were S. typhi 16 (11.7%), followed by S. paratyphi A 6 (4.38%) and S. paratyphi C 2 (1.45%). Isolates were from all age groups studied, the median age being 30 years. There were 58 (42.3%) male and 79 (57.7%) female outpatients and the male to female ratio was 1:1.36. Infection was more prevalent in the age group 6-15years 6 (8.0%) followed by age group above 46 years 3 (5.30%) in blood cultures. Meanwhile, in urine cultures prevalence was highest in the age group above 46 years (3 (4.84%)) followed by age group 26-35 years (2 (3.20%)). Antimicrobial susceptibilities were determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method using 6 different antimicrobial agents suggested by Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). The antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed that the 16 (100%) Salmonella typhi isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, 15 (93.8%) to Ceftriaxone, 14 (87.5%) to Chloramphenicol and 12 (75%) to Ampicillin. On the other hand, 10 (62.5%) were resistant to Tetracycline, and 12 (75%) resistant to Co-trimoxazole. Out of 6 Salmonella paratyphi A isolates, all the 6 (100%) were susceptible to Ciprofloxacin and 5 (83.3%) susceptible to Ceftriaxone, 4 (66.7%) susceptible to Chloramphenicol while 4 (66.6%) were resistant to Tetracycline and Co-trimoxazole. Furthermore, 2 (100%) of Salmonella paratyphi C were susceptible to Ciprofloxacin and Ceftriaxone. The finding indicates that Ciprofloxacin can be used as a first line therapy for treatment and the need of blood culture, along with the urine culture and clinical history should be taken into consideration for an accurate diagnosis of enteric fever caused by Salmonella spp.

Abstract: During 2013 and 2014 seasons, Balady mandarin trees received three sprays of five plant extracts and oils namely extract of turmeric as well as oils of garlic, onion, eucalyptus and flax each at 0.05 to 0.1%. The merit was testing the effect of these plant extracts on growth, tree nutritional status, yield, fruit quality and storability of the fruits on the trees. Treating the trees three times with these plant extracts (turmeric extract and oils of garlic, onion, eucalyptus and flax) at 0.05 to 0.1% proved to be very effective in enhancing shoot length, leaf area and number of leaves / shoot, in the Spring growth cycle, leaf pigments, leaf content of N, P, K, Mg, Ca, Zn, Fe and Mn fruit setting, yield and fruit quality over the check treatment. All plant extract treatments effectively prolonged storage duration of fruits on the trees and reduced loss in fruit weight. Physical and chemical characteristics of the fruits stored on the trees were greatly improved due to using these plant extracts. The promotion on all the investigated parameters was slight among the two studied concentrations. (0.0 & 0.1%) Treating Balady mandarin trees three times with turmeric extract or oils of garlic and onion at 0.05 % was responsible for promoting yield, fruit quality and storability of fruits on the trees of Balady mandarin trees.

Abstract: During 2013 and 2014 seasons, Superior grapevines fertilized with N as 100 % inorganic N fertilizer or through 25 to 75% inorganic N fertilizer + 25 to 75% three organic manures namely poultry manure (2.5 % N); plant compost (2 % N) and farmyard manure (0.25% N) + 15 to 45 ml EM/ vine/ year. The merit was replacing inorganic N partially by using these organic manures and EM for improving yield lowering pollution and enhancing the efficiency of exportation to foreign markets. Growth characters, berry setting %, yield and cluster characters were remarkably improved with using N as 50% inorganic N + 50% organic manures + 30 ml EM/ vine/ year. Leaf pigments, various nutrients as well as physical and chemical characteristics of the berries were gradually improved owing to decreasing the percentages of the inorganic N from 100 to 25.0 and increasing the percentages of organic manure from 0.0 to 75% and levels of EM from 0.0 to 45 ml/ vine / year. Shot berries % was gradually reduced with decreasing percentages of inorganic N and increasing organic and biofertilization levels. The best results with regard to yield and quality of the berries were obtained due to treating the vines with N as 50% inorganic N + 50 % poultry manure + 30 ml EM/ vine / year Both nitrite and nitrate in the juice were substantially reduced in such promised treatment.

Abstract: During 2013 and 2014 seasons, Flame seedless grapevines grown under Luxor region condition subjected to one, two, three or four sprays of salicylic acid at 0.0, 50, 100, 200 or 400 ppm. The impact of different concentrations and frequencies of salicylic acid application on overcoming the problems of poor yield and berries colouration was investigated. Carrying out one to four sprays of salicylic acid at 50 to 400 substatically succeeded in stimulating all growth characters, vine nutritional status, yield and fruit quality and at the same time enhancing colouration of the berries over the check treatment. These effects were in proportional to the increase in concentrations and frequencies of salicylic acid application. No. measurable effects on all the investigated parameters were observed among the higher two concentrations (200 & 400 ppm) and frequencies (thrice & four times) of salicylic acid application.  For promotion yield and berries quality and at the same time overcoming irregular colouration of the berries in Flame seedless grown under Upper Egypt condition, it is advised to spray salicylic acid three times (growth start, just after berry setting and two weeks later) at 200 ppm.

Abstract: This study was carried out during 2013 and 2014 seasons to examine the effect of replacing 25 to 75% inorganic N partially by using plant compost enriched with Spirulina platensis algae at 25 to 75% on fruiting of Ewaise mango trees grown under Upper Egypt conditions. Using the suitable N (1000 g N / tree year) via 50% inorganic N + 50% plant compost enriched with Spirulina platensis algae gave the best results with regard to growth aspects, fruit retention % and yield. There was a gradual promotion on leaf pigments, total carbohydrates % and nutrients namely N, P, K, Mg, Fe and Mn and fruit quality with reducing the percentages of inorganic N from 100 to 25% and at the same time increasing percentages of plant compost enriched with Spirulina platensis algae from 0.0 to 75%. In all cases combined application of inorganic N plus plant compost enriched with Spirulina platensis algae was Superior than using inorganic N alone. For promoting yield and fruit quality of Ewaise mango trees grown under Upper Egypt conditions and at the same time reducing pollution with nitrite in the fruit pulp, it is suggested to use N as 50% inorganic N plus 50% plant compost enriched with Spirulina platensis.

Abstract: In-depth development of economic globalization, the world's economic development extension features has been enhanced, international trade in national economic development plays an increasingly important role, in 2012 the sum of China's import and export accounted for more than 50% of GDP, the establishment of a free trade area for the realization of bilateral and multilateral trade liberalization with a significant role. Eighteen Third Plenary Session will promote the construction of the free trade zone, and make Shanghai as a pilot area of the Free Trade Area, in order to increase financial support for cross-border investment and trade, and financial reform’s further deepen, promoting the Chinese economy’s stable and healthy development. Therefore, this paper will choose empirical analysis of the relationship between export and import growth and GDP growth in the import and export data in 1979--2012, and focus on exploring the effects of free trade zones for import and export of China's economic growth from the perspective of a free trade area for the healthy development provide a reference recommendations.
