Citrullus lanatus, Cucumeropsis edulis and Lagenaria siceraria are three species of squash widely cultivated and used in food in Benin. The aim of this study is to determinate the physicochemical characteristic and antimicrobial activities of their seeds oil. Oils were obtained by Soxhlet extraction; their quality index were evaluated according to the methods listed in the ‘’AFNOR’’. The oil yield of the seeds of the three cucurbits ranged from 36.23 to 42.28%, the moisture contents of the seeds oils ranged from 0.47 and 0.98%. In terms of quality index, the values are between: 5.04-14.58 mg/g for acid value, 31.70 - 31.86 % for iodine, 1.65 - 8.42 meqO2/Kg-oil for peroxide value, 50.49 - 75.73 mg KOH/g-oil saponification and for ester 40.39 - 70.68%. Their calculated calorific value varies between 44611.05 and 45717.65 Kj /Kg-oil). AAS revealed that these oils had low content of Iron, Manganese and Potassium and do not contain Sodium at all. HPLC showed that the three oils are good sources of fat-soluble vitamins (A, E and K1) with 6.18 mg/100g vitamin E in Citrullus lanatus seeds oil and K1 (0.83 mg / 100g). They were all bacteriostatic and fungistatic on the strains explored but Citrullus lanatus and Cucumeropsis edulis oils had an antibiotic power on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

The protection of environment and natural resources has high importance in achieving sustainable development. Desertification is one of the major issues threatening human communities. This phenomenon threatens about 40% of the global land surface and has influenced the life of 785 million people. In recent years, desertification control and reduction have been the most important projects in national and international organizations. Many methods have been developed for assessment and mapping of desertification hazards. Decision making problem is the process of finding the best option from all of the feasible alternatives. In almost all such problems the multiplicity of criteria for judging the alternatives is pervasive. That is, for many such problems, the decision maker wants to solve a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Purpose of this study is ranking of plant species in order to stabilize sand dunes in dealing with the spread of desertification.according this research Haloxlylon Species with (0/943) point promotes in first rank among 7 studied Species and thus it is the most appropriate Species for stabilize sand dunes in dealing with the spread of desertification and Alhagi maurorum with (0/020) point goes down to the last rank and so it isn`t suitable for stabilize sand dunes and Species (Salsola Kali, Peganum harmala, Seidlitzia rosmarinus, Astragalus, Tamarix hispida) with (0/629, 0/559, 0/485, 0/394, 0/329) points are located in next ranks.

One of the striking aspects of community development community stability is Feeling of security. Public safety requires the establishment of a society in which there exist the minimal structural elements such as social justice, provision of social justice, employment, freedom and sovereignty of people and their full participation, distribution of knowledge and information in society, social disorder, use of resources, scholars and social adjustment. The present study, by using field study and survey techniques, is to answer this question; what are the most important factors affecting the Feeling of security in cities? In the study population, 400 individuals of all the citizens of Bandar Abbas city who are more than 20 years old have been studied. The findings suggest that the Feeling of security among the residents of Bandar Abbas is fairly. There is a significant correlation between the Feeling of security with the variables of the city space, various internal and external mass media, economic-social bases and gender.

This study seeks to examine the standard components of project management in four knowledge areas of integration, scope, time and quality in IT management projects and with regard to infrastructures in different countries, to specialize those components for implementation in Iranian active IT corporations. Accordingly, using the Fuzzy Delphi Technique, the opinions of experts in this area were collected and a specialized conceptual model based on the mentioned standard components in association with IT management projects was developed. It was also found that, contrary to some industry projects, IT projects can be very diverse. Identification of relatively large weaknesses in the field of quality management in IT projects was the other finding of the present study. Moreover, it was found that most of the IT projects stop before being finished. Finally, the extracted conceptual model was implemented in three reputable IT corporations (the Iran (NOSA) Hardware and Software Corporation, the Hamkaran System Corporation and the Mesbah Energy Corporation, and findings were analyzed based on the Promethee II ranking model.

In the United States, many small business owners display inadequate preparedness strategies to mitigate natural disasters. The damage caused by natural disasters usually costs millions of dollars in injuries or lost lives, disruptions to operations, and property damage. Small business owners who fail to plan and prepare for disaster frequently face closure when disasters strike. The goal of this study was to explore strategies independent auto maintenance business owners use to mitigate natural disasters. Holling’s organizational resilience theory grounded this qualitative multiple case study. From the population, a purposive sample drawn, included five participants who implemented disaster mitigation strategies from Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana and participated in this study. Semistructured interviews were used to collect data, which was analyzed by triangulating the results against company strategic plans, financial data, emails, website information, and operation manuals. The implementation in the data analysis of Yin’s 5-step data analysis process yielded important themes of: employee relations and financial strength, disaster planning and response guideline, communication, and collaboration and partnership. The analysis of the analysis led to the presentation of key recommendation for business owners, notably to comprehensively understand, plan, and execute successful natural disaster mitigation strategies, to ensure business continuity and resilience. The implication for positive social change is the potential for businesses to avoid permanent business closure, create jobs, retain employees, and improve the economic standard of living for communities.

Social and physical status of a woman is always considered as very important factor for affecting the fertility. And it becomes more important when we talk about developing countries like India. Our study consists of fertility influenced by women status in EAG states of India.In consideration of that study we use the weighted data of EAG states reported in NFHS-III (2005-06). In that perspective we have approximately 54000 sampling units in which approx. 45000 females are considered as not pregnant and not in amenorrhea. For this we take women population in between age group 15-49 years. A multivariate model was fitted for living children for different socio-demographic variables taken as influencing factors. For background characters we consider 8 different variables on basis of socio- demographic status norms. There is significant association in between contraception use to the living children in light of background characters controlling. Within the range of 95 percent confidence interval the odds ratio for education and living children for those who ever used any contraception is 1.77 (1.71-1.82)and 6.65 (6.39-6.95) respectively. By which we can define a significant association between ever using contraception to education and living children based on women’s socio-demographic status. This implies that if the strength of status of women make uplift then fertility condition will be better in population
