The ecosystem loses significant areas of forests each year because of forest fires, in Algeria, many of those fires are registered, especially during the summer period, this situation has become a national concern, because of the great losses of these vegetal covers every year. The municipality of Souhane is greatly affected by forest fires. The purpose of this study is to make a susceptibility map for the risks of fires in the municipality of Souhane, this by combining GIS and AHP analysis. several studies have already proved the effectiveness of this method. Six factors were selected; We calculated their weights using the AHP method. The results indicated that 51% of this municipality total area are included in the areas of high and very high susceptibility. The fires that occurred in the year 2019 confirmed the relevance of those results, in addition, the combustion index (NBR) calculation has shown that the areas affected by forest fires are those that are once again, located in the areas of high and very high susceptibility. Thus, those are interesting results and this study can help the fire department to improve its forest fire prevention techniques for the municipality of Souhane.

The location, location and mapping of hidden facilities make it possible to avoid the risks of accidents and other nuisances that can cause material and human damage during the various phases of planning and construction of a project. Hence it is important to identify these to solve several problems on a given site. Damaging these buried utilities during construction work, urbanization continues to be one of the major risks for different industries. Currently, it is important to update information on hidden utilities that will serve several scientific disciplines during field work and for successful projects involving excavation, well drilling, exploration drilling, leveling And construction in the field of civil engineering. Bluestake (picketing and marking) processes identify and locate the various hidden utilities such as underground piping, ducting and cable systems, sewers and other installations that can emit a frequency that can be detected during field prospecting . Accordingly, the Blue stake processes are based on the geophysical prospecting method, see the electromagnetic approach using an apparatus consisting of a transmitter, a receiver, electrodes, the ground rod and the electromagnetic field clamp which Of the searched utility sends a detectable frequency and then locates it for mapping.

Developed, so-called "emerging" countries have strategies and policies of innovation country. However, many developing countries face difficulties in the implementation of innovation strategies. In general, the research has mainly concerned the development of innovation tools. By cons, little work has concerned the factors that prevent or inhibit the activity of innovation, known in the literature: "barriers to innovation", especially in the Arab and Muslim countries and developing countries. Our research has rightly focused on the barriers to innovation in Morocco and especially in the region of Tangier-Tetouan. The purpose of this research is to develop a model to measure the interactive effects of barriers in the innovation system. For this it was necessary to identify barriers to the innovation in the region of Tangier-Tetouan process, and investigate the interrelationships between them. The approach is based on a review of the scientific papers; analysis of available statistical data; national development documents; empirical researches and other secondary data. An in-depth study of fourteen barriers to innovation has been made with industry, teachers and students. This work can be considered, in our opinion, as the first study of the barriers to innovation in the Tangier-Tetouan region and one of the few work on this subject in Morocco. Its contribution to the conceptual level is the development of models that can be used to solve the barriers of innovation at regional and national levels.

Wavelet has wide range of use in the present scientific universe. At present using wavelet through MATLAB different types of tasks are done. For instance biometric recognition (fingerprint recognition, voice recognition, iris recognition, face recognition, pattern recognition and signature recognition), signal processing, human voice activity detection etc. are done using wavelet and wavelet transform. Among these here I have discussed about "Human Voice Activity Detection". At first a human voice is taken as the input sound to MATLAB command window using a good headphone for a few second. Then the sound taken as input give a graphical representation that is saved for future activities. After that using the wavelet toolbox of MATLAB the image of the input sound is taken for analyzing it. Using discrete wavelet transform the image is analyzed. During this analysis a "10 level wavelet" tree is generated by Haar wavelet with 10 decomposition level. At the same time the original signal is reconstructed. At the first time six different human voice activities of the same persons are analyzed. The Norm and the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) are counted. The data of the SNR are counted in decibel (db.) unit. Also the bit rates of the three different voice are counted. In this way total 18 different experiments are done for the different five persons where except the first person for all the person three experiments are dine.. The numerical data of the experiments are shown as graphical representation as well as in histogram analysis. In this process the whole experiments are done for the activity detection of human voice.

The needs of adult learners and the rising tuition at traditional colleges and universities has stimulated the emergence of for-profit higher education in the United States as a viable sector of post-secondary education (Morey, 2004). Previous literature have examined choice selection and compared traditional and non-traditional higher education curricula. This author's research has found limited scholarly examination of the relationships between student loan defaults and revenue. This article will empirically analyze these factors to determine that there is a significant correlation of student default rates and revenues at proprietary institutions.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global public health problem resulting in a considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ethiopia ranks 8th among the 22 high TB burden countries. Establishing an appropriate and improved intervention strategy to prevent and control tuberculosis requires the presence of evidence based data on the genetic diversity of its causative agent. The current research work, therefore, was to differentiate strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolated from pulmonary tuberculosis patients who own cattle in North Eastern and North Western parts of Ethiopia using molecular techniques. Sputum samples were collected from Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB) positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients and cultured on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium containing glycerol and sodium pyruvate. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from each positive culture, spoligotyping and single nucleotide polymorphisms were performed to further differentiate strains of M. tuberculosis, after deletion typing PCR confirmed that all the isolates were Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The mean age of study participants was 35.7 years (18-63 years) + 13.24. The majority (55.7%) were from North Gondar zone. Spoligotyping revealed that (47/50) 94% had interpretable patterns and 3 lineages namely; East-Africa-Indian (57.4%), Euro-American-African (EAA lineage-Lineage 4) 38.3% and Ethiopian (lineage-7) 2/50 (4.3%). Lineage 7 was registered in North Wollo zone only. In this study 8 clusters (with cluster size ranging from 2-8), 8 unique and 10 new patters were recorded. Spoligotype International Types (SIT) (21, 25, 26, 35, 53, 109, 149 and 289), were found as clusters and of these SIT 25 (7) and SIT 289 (8) were the predominant ones. Our study proved that 3 Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages, namely; the ancient, intermediate between the modern lineages as well as modern were identified. Besides, considerable clustering was seen, which indicates the presence of current TB transmission in the study areas.
结核病(TB)是一个主要的全球公共卫生问题,在世界范围内造成相当高的发病率和死亡率。埃塞俄比亚在22个结核病高负担国家中排名第八。制定预防和控制结核病的适当和改进的干预战略,需要有关于其病原体遗传多样性的基于证据的数据。因此,目前的研究工作是利用分子技术区分从埃塞俄比亚东北部和西北部养牛的肺结核病人身上分离出来的结核分枝杆菌菌株。收集抗酸杆菌(AFB)阳性肺结核患者的痰液,在含有甘油和丙酮酸钠的Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ)培养基上培养。每个阳性培养物提取脱氧核糖核酸(DNA),进行spoligotyping和单核苷酸多态性进一步区分结核分枝杆菌菌株,缺失分型PCR后证实所有分离株均为结核分枝杆菌。研究参与者的平均年龄为35.7岁(18-63岁)+ 13.24岁。大多数(55.7%)来自北贡达尔地区。Spoligotyping显示(47/50)94%具有可解释的模式和3个谱系,即;东非-印度(57.4%),欧洲-美国-非洲(EAA谱系-谱系4)38.3%和埃塞俄比亚(谱系-7)2/50(4.3%)。天堂7只在北沃罗区注册。本研究共记录了8个聚类(聚类大小在2-8之间)、8个独特模式和10个新模式。Spoligotype International (SIT)(21、25、26、35、53、109、149和289)呈聚集型,其中以SIT 25(7)和SIT 289(8)为主。我们的研究证实了3个结核分枝杆菌谱系,即;确定了古代、介于现代和现代之间的血统。此外,观察到相当大的聚集性,这表明研究地区目前存在结核病传播。

This study was about the failure factors of Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) students in teaching graduate programme (TGP) at institute of teacher education (ITE). Thus, this study identified the factors of failure from personal problems, lecturer, facility, syllabus and school factors. Furthermore, this study used a mixed mode method such as semi-structural interview and questionnaires. To answer the interview instrument, a total of 12 TGP students were selected from maximum variation method based on six different zones. Then, to answer the questionnaires, this research involved 40 TGP students at random. Next, descriptive statistics of SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze the factors in five domains. The findings of the study indicated that the domain of syllabus factors contributed to the cause of the failure at the highest level. However, the finding of the lecturer communication was the highest among the items. Therefore, failure was causing some effects such as feeling sad, frustrated and stressed out to deal with colleagues and family members.
