Infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Human immunodeficiency virus remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. In Cameroon, TB is also of public health concern with an incidence and a mortality rate of 194 and 30 for 100,000 people, respectively, with predominance of female sex. Despite the fact this country has a well-established TB program, these problems are as result of overlapping drug toxicities and interaction within the patient, frequent presentation of false negative sputum test and difficulties in diagnosing extra-pulmonary diseases in some facilities around the territory.To determine trends in human immunodeficiency virus/tuberculosis co-infection, treatment retention rate, outcomes and determinants factors at Laquintinie hospital Douala from the year 2015 to 2020.

Lack of employee compliance with information security policies is a key factor driving security incidents. Information security practitioners struggle to enforce policy compliance while employees try to curtail safeguards in favor of expediency and other perceived business goals. Several studies have shown individual and organizational factors influencing this type of employee behavior. However, few have recommended management-level interventions that can be used as a solution framework by information security practitioners. This research utilized the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology to develop a management-level intervention based on a messaging strategy that aims to help information security practitioners improve the information security culture of their organization through employees¿ intrinsic motivation, thus increasing compliance with information security policies. DSR calls for the design of an artifact to solve a problem of practice. In this research, the artifact is the management-level intervention mentioned above.

We live in a world where oil, gas and coal reserves are running out. This statement may be sad, but it is good news because the high consumption of these fuels has accelerated the process of global warming. Unfortunately, since about 80-90% of the energy needed in the whole world is provided by fossil fuels, it is not possible to reduce their consumption overnight. But there is a question: what can be done now that renewable energies such as solar or wind energy cannot play the main role in the field of energy supply? One solution is to shift some of our power plants to different systems called Combined Heat and Power (CHP). The simultaneous production of electricity and heat provides the possibility of better efficiency than fossil fuels for providing energy with about 15-40% energy storage. These power plants perform well both in terms of cost reduction and environmental impact reduction.

Anti-infective periodontal therapy includes both mechanical and chemotherapeutic approaches to minimize or eliminate microbial biofilm (bacterial plaque), a known primary etiologic factor of gingivitis and periodontitis. Since most patients are not skilled in adequate plaque removal, many clinicians currently include one or more adjunctive chemotherapeutic agents in their nonsurgical anti-infective regimen. Adjunctive antimicrobials can be used either systemically or locally. During the past two decades, dentists and microbiologists have embraced periodontal antibiotic therapy as a powerful adjunct to conventional mechanical debridement for therapeutic management of periodontal diseases. This book reviews the indications and protocols for optimizing the use of anti-infective agents during the treatment of periodontal diseases.

The Study aims towards the examination endeavours achieved in the case of an ejector geometry framework. An ejector is a device used to increase the delivery rate of a fluid. They are used in the refrigeration cycle and the rocket engines as well. It is difficult to understand the flow characteristics of the fluids and the thermodynamic properties of the streams. They can be understood using some computational techniques and tests. The mathematical models for the flow of the fluids inside the ejector are least observed since it is difficult to investigate a fast-moving stream of the fluids inside the ejector. Ejectors have many applications, where heat transfer takes place at a higher rate and also helps create the vacuum. Also, the construction and working, applications, and new advances related to the ejectors. Furthermore, it is observed that there is a special need to investigate various aspects of the ejector. The turn of events history and ongoing advancement in solar ejector refrigeration frameworks are accounted for and arranged.

Food adulteration involves the intentional addition of inferior, harmful, or unauthorized substances to food products for deceptive purposes or increased profits. This unethical practice compromises the quality and safety of food, posing health risks to consumers. Adulterants can include chemicals, dyes, preservatives, and contaminants, added to various food items. Motives for adulteration are often financial, leading to cost-cutting or product enhancement. Governments enforce measures such as quality standards and testing to detect and prevent adulteration, but it remains a persistent challenge. Addressing food adulteration requires ongoing efforts and collaboration between authorities, producers, and consumers.

Spiritual education embodies those virtues or attributes which not only guide our morals but also enhance material education. By teaching children kindness, concentration, will power, strength of character, truthfulness, and other higher qualities, life is made richer. These are deeply important to the development of the human being, but such things are not taught today in public education. The ultimate purpose of life is not simply to get a job. So many people live this way and then die, not of old age, but of deep disappointment with the life they have led. If you don¿t know how to be truly happy, money won¿t buy it for you. Spiritual education is training people for life. Spiritual education means knowing our own true self and the power that controls our life. Present piece of work is focused on developing Spiritual Education Modules and its effect on level of Anxiety.

The main purpose of this book is to act as a practical guide to the use of local anaesthesia in dentistry. Before embarking on practical issues it is important to acquire a basic understanding of the pharmacology and anatomy of dental local anaesthesia. Anaesthesia is defined as a loss of sensation in a circumscribed area of the body by a depression of excitation in nerve endings or an inhibition of the conduction process in peripheral nerves. This definition includes all sensation. In dentistry it is pain sensation we want to eliminate. Loss of pain sensation is termed analgesia. The terms local anaesthesia and local analgesia are used almost synonymously in dental practice. As true anaesthesia may be produced on occasion following intra-oral injection, the former term is used in this book.

Image in-painting is the technique used to retrieve the missing or damaged part of the image region and maintain the image quality. Nowadays, images are captured with the help of high- resolution cameras, and mobile phones with high megapixels are used. Processing of these high-resolution images becomes more complicated with traditional algorithms. Images are beneficial for encryption, processing, authentication, sharing, etc. Various mobile apps use image in-painting and are also used in social networking sites. Due to the extra part or distortion, sometimes useful images get damaged or deleted. Restoring the images or painting are very natural as its basic version, A super-resolution (SR) algorithm is beneficial for predicting and filling in the lost image information.
