Authors: Belabbaci Zeyneb , Berrabah Amina Tahar , Bouri Djamel Eddine 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
This paper presents an experimental stabilization approach of the landslide that threatens a slope located near the city of El Amir Abdelkader, Ain Temouchent, Algeria. Stabilization is assured by the addition of lime milk, and then a numerical validation of the results with respect to the safety coefficient before and after treatment was performed by “Plaxis” software. Experimental results show that the stabilization by lime milk improves compaction parameters, swelling and shear strength, particularly the cohesion and friction angle, the latter permitting appreciation of the sliding surface on which it is necessary to base the calculation of the safety coefficient before and after treatment. Numerical results indicate that the factor of safety increases with the improvement of the mechanical characteristics c and ϕ, which are improved by increasing lime milk percentage. The numerical validation using “Plaxis” finite element code gives results that are in perfect agreement with the experimental ones, indicating that this software is a good tool for slope stability study.

Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had catastrophic health and economic impacts worldwide. As of 20 September 2020, Indonesia ranked the third highest of fatalities due to COVID-19 infection in Asia and the second highest of confirmed cases in Southeast Asia. Aceh, a province in the westernmost of the country, has also been impacted by the virus infections.This study aims to investigate the current Central and Aceh provincial government-led responses to COVID-19 pandemic from January to May 2020. It utilises existing regulations, official reports and relevant websites in order to assess and analyse the responses. The findings identify delayed early responses taken by Central and Aceh governments to stop and prevent the virus transmission; the absence of lockdown implementation (border restrictions at entry points such as borderland areas, seaports and airports); premature introduction of the new normal era; the absence of checkpoints and village alert teams throughout 23 districts; and inadequate enforcement of the established regulations to halt the spread of the virus in the province.Various recommendations are provided to enhance the current responses to COVID-19 in the province in order to reduce the pandemic risk to the community going forward, and strengthen the pandemic preparedness and response system.

Human eye offers a number of opportunities for biometric recognition. The essential parts of the eye like cornea, iris, veins and retina can determine different characteristics. Systems using eyes’ features are widely deployed for identification in government requirement levels and laws; but also beginning to have more space in portable validation world.
The first image was prepared to be used and monitored using CLAHE which means (Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization) to improve the contrast of the image, after that the 3D surface plot was created for this image then different types of regression were used and the better one was chosen.
The results showed that power regression is better, and fitter than other fitting methods (8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd) degree polynomial, and straight line respectively, when depending on the sum of residual squared.
The estimations of R-square demonstrated that (5th, 6th, 7th, 8th) have a great proportion of variance in the model followed by (power, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, straight line) respectively.
The conclusion from these results is that the power regression has a better fitting than other types of fitting functions for this study and similar ones.

Published: December 2021

Java is one of the most demanding programming languages nowadays and it is used for developing a wide range of software applications including desktop, mobile, embedded, and web applications. Writing efficient Java codes for those various types of applications (which some are critical and time-sensitive) is crucial and recommended best practices that every Java developer should consider. To date, there is a lack of in-depth experimental studies in the literature that evaluate the impact of writing efficient Java programming strategies on the performance of desktop applications in terms of runtime. Thus, this paper aims to perform a variety of experimental tests that have been carefully chosen and implemented to evaluate the most important aspects of desktop efficient Java programming in terms of runtime. The results of this study show that significant performance improvements can be achieved by applying different programming strategies.

Authors: Winkler Sandra 
Published: December 2021

Entre las numerosas parejas que circulan por la Unión Europea, un número importante son parejas de hecho, si bien, los distintos ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales regulan de manera muy diferente las consecuencias jurídicas del ámbito de aplicación personal y los efectos patrimoniales de las parejas de hecho. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las diferentes regulaciones desde una perspectiva comparativa.
Dado que las parejas de hecho están excluidas del ámbito de aplicación del Reglamento sobre los efectos patrimoniales de las uniones registradas, las dificultades de interpretación y aplicación jurídica son muchas; implicando que su exclusión implica que la posición jurídica de las parejas de hecho transfronterizas sea bastante diferente y con menor protección que la posición jurídica de las uniones registradas transfronterizas, cuyas relaciones patrimoniales están cubiertas por el Reglamento sobre las consecuencias patrimoniales de una unión registrada, al igual que para los matrimonios transfronterizos les será de aplicación el Reglamento sobre los regímenes económicos matrimoniales, siendo ambos conocidos como los Reglamentos gemelos.

Published: December 2021

Teachers and teacher educators are the key players in the process of making quality in education a reality. A teacher’s effectiveness and quality learning outcomes are directly linked to each other. It’s urgent to see Teacher Education in overall context of the education system to ensure right process paving way to quality in school education. Whereas professionally qualified teachers are in the system, they need high quality orientation in methodology to transact curriculum n the classroom. This can be most powerfully strengthened thru regular In-Service-Training (INST) programs, focusing on teacher’s existing capacities. The Education for All Global Monitoring Report (2013/ 2014) states that an education system is only as good as its teachers. Developing teachers’ capacity to enhance the quality of learning remains essential and evidence shows that education quality improves when teachers are supported and deteriorates if they are not (UNESCO, 2014a).

School refusal is a common problem seen among children as well as adolescents. It is very commonly present with other psychiatric co-morbidities like anxiety disorders, mood disorders, neuro-developmental disorders, child abuse and many more. OCD is also a common psychiatric condition in children and adolescents. Childhood presentation of OCD becomes difficult to diagnose due to its presentation as well as child’s inability to describe symptoms. If untreated, it will significantly hamper child’s academic, social and family functioning. We present a case of 12 years old boy with one year symptoms of school refusal, sadness and anxiety. He had been evaluated and found to have obsessions and compulsions underlying above mentioned symptoms. He was improved with Fluoxetine, Clomipramine and supportive psychotherapy.

Published: December 2021

Mental illness is a growing reality of our times. Usually in a typical Indian family, the parents act as the primary caregivers for the child suffering from mental disorder. For adult sufferers, it can also be siblings or offspring, and at times even spouse or partner. Research on the experiences of families of mentally ill people has been minimal in the Indian context. This study aims to shift the focus from the mentally ill patients to the suffering of the caregivers and families of the patient keeping in mind the interconnected well being of the family in a collectivist culture. Following a qualitative approach, narratives have been taken from the family members of mentally ill (narratives of 8 families with mentally ill person) and also the mental health professionals (two) through semi structured interviews. The findings suggest that the family members suffer from a significant amount of stress accompanied by burden. Also, they feel secluded from the society and experience a lack of assistance to deal with the mentally ill member of the family.
