Abstract: Equally important with having a goal and direction in an institution like a hospital is how the people in this institution work together to achieve this. This “togetherness” is aptly expressed in the concept of synergy. To achieve this synergy among all stakeholders of educational institutions, there should be a common ground, in which they align themselves with the institutional vision and mission. The study determines the extent of synergy among staff nurses with institutional purpose as reflected in their understanding of the institution’s vision, mission, goals, and core values in the order of thinking skills of the Bloom’s taxonomy.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to find the link between intra regional exchanges and the economic growth of the CAEMC area. To achieve this aim, the temporal series of econometric was applied in consideration of the foreign direct investment, human capital, demography and the quality of the institutions as variables of control. Afterwards, the Johansen Test of cointegration had been applied to avoid a kind of deceptive regression backed by a model of errors adjustment. Contrary to common ideas broadly shared on the positive incidence of the integration on growth, the study concludes that the exchanges among CAEMC countries have a weak negative impact on the economic growth within the area.

Abstract: The dye sensitizer plays an important role of absorption photons in the ultra-violet, visible and infrared regions of solar spectrum. So, the dye sensitizer has to be broad absorption band, non-toxicity, stability and good matching of HOMO/LUMO levels of the dye with the bottom edge of conduction band of semiconductor and the redox potential of electrolyte. It is necessary to make the good chemical bonding between the semiconductor and the dye for effective electron transfer. In this work, the optical properties of natural dyes extracted from the leaves of Henna, Teak and Burmese iron-wood have been studied by UV-VIS spectroscopy to improve the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell. The band-gap energies of dye solutions are about 1.8 eV.

Abstract: This report presents the Health Effectiveness Data Information Set (HEDIS) as a means to measure health and promote quality care in a Georgia pediatric clinic. The primary factors under evaluation related to patient compliance, outcomes and follow-ups. HEDIS was developed by the National Commission on Quality Assurance (NCQA). The value of the HEDIS model lies in its use of national quality benchmarks and indicators – for a wide variety of health conditions. Traditional models of quality management and control are also presented using selected health centers and related legislation. This report also addresses provisions of the Affordable Care Act which was designed to promote healthcare quality and access; meanwhile reducing healthcare costs. As the Affordable Care Act, continues to unfold, quality models such as HEDIS will be useful in promoting national quality initiatives in various health systems.

Abstract: Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) form the bulk of enterprises in Kenya currently standing at a population of over 7.5 million. They contribute about 80 percent of total employment and generate 92 percent of all new jobs in the country. In Kenya, SMEs contribute about 40 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Research has shown that in most countries, SMEs generate by far more employment opportunities than big companies or the public sector. Employment is the major source of livelihood globally. No wonder the search for employment is one of the greatest reasons that accounts for the Rural-Urban migration.

Abstract: Tanzania saw the significance of moving to local government financial decentralization from 1990s. Such commitment is evidenced on the policy paper on local government reform of October, 1998 which aimed towards the shared vision for local government in Tanzania, and the main strategy of achieving it was through decentralization by devolution. Tanzania has been implementing a particular vision from 2000s of which its part includes financial decentralization. The study assesses the implementation of Local Government financial decentralization in Tanzania engrossing on the discrepancy between theory and practice. It is the view of the study that, the implementation of Local Government financial decentralization in Tanzania still is passing into a difficult situation. Also, the study opines that, local government stakeholders need to rethink about the progress and commitments towards fully local government financial decentralization.

Abstract: In developing countries, the health status of millions of kids is affected by financial problems arising from unexpected out-of-pocket health expenditures. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to assess the impact of health insurance on child health outcomes using a panel of 10 West African countries over the period from 2005 to 2015. After controlling for income, education and the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak experienced in the sub-region, it is found that the compulsory as well as the voluntary health insurance schemes significantly increase life expectancy at birth and significantly decrease both the under-five and the neonatal mortality rates. Therefore, it is recommended that public health authorities organize sensitization campaigns to educate the population and create awareness about the benefits of health insurance. They should also reinforce the compulsory health insurance scheme and create incentives for the development of the voluntary one.

Abstract: The industrialization can be traced back almost 5,000 years ago to Mesopotamian writings describing daily rations of beer and bread to workers. Before the rise of modern breweries, the production of beer took place at home and was the domain of women as baking and brewing were seen as women’s work (Schlimm J, 2005). Breweries as production facilities reserved for making beer did not emerge until monasteries and other Christian institutions started producing beer not only for their own consumption, but also for sale. The industrialization of brewing shifted the responsibility of making beer to men. The oldest, but still functioning brewery in the world is believed to be in German state, owned by Weihenstephan, brewery in the city of Freising, Bavaria. It’s history goes back to 1040 AD this was disputed by the nearby Weltenbug Abdey brewery whose history could be traced back to its beer brewing tradition to at least 1050 AD, the Zatec brewery in the Czech Republic ( Schlimm J.2005).

Abstract: The provision of water supply in most of the nations of the World is an obligation of the government but in some African countries especially Nigeria, the responsibility has shifted to the citizenry. Most of the structures used by some household to support their tanks to provide gravity flow of water have failed prematurely. In some cases, excessive materials have been used in the construction leading to high cost. This paper analyses and optimizes such supporting structures used by the most household. Patran/Nastran software was used for the analyses and optimization because of its efficiency. It was discovered that the final mass of water tanks (of capacity 2 cubic meters and 3 cubic meters) dropped from 1107.64Kg to 891.16Kg while that of 2 cubic meters and 5 cubic meters dropped from 1107.16Kg to 962.59Kg. The design is hereby recommended for domestic use as it will definitely reduce costs and eliminate waste of materials to the barest minimum.

Abstract: Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the best known NP-hard problems. It is also a classic tour problem in which a hypothetical salesman must find the most efficient sequence of destinations in his territory, stopping only once at each, and ending up at the initial starting location. To handle with this problem there is no suitable algorithm that solves it in polynomial time. Many algorithms were applied to solve TSP with more or less success. There are many ways to classify algorithms, each with its own merits. This paper is a review on various algorithms like Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms (ACO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithms (GA) available with respective attributes to find the nearest optimal solution for the traveling salesman problem. It also relates the traveling salesman problem with the available algorithms and provides the advantages in providing a solution for TSP.

Abstract: Fares are usually calculated according to a combination of distance and waiting time, and are measured by a fare meter. This solves the arbitrary charging of passengers boarding taxi and different point. The fare meter consist of speed sensor, microcontroller (PIC 16F86A), power supply unit, display unit and input buttons to set the amount per unit distance. The speed sensor picks up signal from the rotating gear wheel which is interfaced with the microcontroller to compute the corresponding distance. The multiplication unit of cost per meters is (NAIRA) N 1.50 per meter, this provides the fare rate.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to review a literature survey on disabled recreation research. Recreation research in people with disabilities has become very popular in recent years. In parallel with the changing living conditions, the increase in the sensitivity towards people with disabilities has been reflected in the researches on this subject. Support for the promotion of recreational activities for people with disabilities can be considered as one of the most important results of these studies. According to World Health Organization data, the number of people with disabilities in the world increased in recent years. This increase reveals that societies should review their policies related to people with disabilities. We need to create suitable living conditions for people with disabilities to know that they feel free in society. One of the most important ways to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities is the creation of appropriate recreational areas. From this point of view, this research consisted of a literature survey which was prepared by reviewing the researches about the participation of people with disabilities in recreation. This study was designed according to content analysis method and used in Ebsco databases. The research is designed to contribute to the promotion of recreational activities in the handicapped.
