Gender-Oriented Scrutiny of Persian EFL Language Learners’ Attitudes towards an Effective Oral Presentation
The paper was in fact an attempt to investigate the point that if there is any gender-oriented differences between the Persian EFL language learners with regard to the factors influencing an oral presentation. To be more detailed, the study tried to shed light on first, what factors do the language learners think are most important for delivering an effective oral presentation. And second, if there is any significant difference between the male and female language learners in terms of their attitudes on the issue. To fulfill the purpose, 150 male and female EFL Persian language learners from Ahwaz universities were purposefully selected and required to fill in the developed questionnaire. The findings of the study indicated a significant difference between the male and females’ attitudes on the factors leading to a telling oral presentation. The study contributes significantly to the delivery of more effective oral presentations.

Geological Complications and Environmental Hazards of the Cement Raw Materials Quarry Sites in Yemen
Extensive field and site investigations were conducted to assess and evaluate the situation in the presently exploited quarries of cement raw materials in Yemen. These quarries have several geological complications represented mainly by high elevations, steep slopes, rugged topography, heterogeneity in bed thickness, lithologic composition and quality, presence of igneous sills and dykes, intensive fracturing and jointing and abundance of karstification features. Moreover, the processes of quarrying and related operations have several negative environmental impacts the most important of which are soil failure, overburden and land sliding, toppling and rock falls (which result in considerable mass wasting) and emission of dust and noise. Generally, quarrying operations are more hazardous in quarries of gypsum and basement rocks than in those of carbonates and volcanics. Furthermore, the quarries have problems related to the conservation of natural resources. These are represented primarily by the excavation of the valuable agricultural and reclaimed lands and improper exploitation of the cement raw materials and the fresh and underground waters the reserves of which decreased drastically. To deal with the above-mentioned problems, a number of recommendations are outlined. They comprise mitigation measures which must be strictly implemented. Also, it is of almost importance to conduct prospecting for new occurrences of the presently exploited cement raw materials and their possible substitutes as well as additional groundwater resources.

Ghana in Search of a Homegrown Pedagogic Approach in Basic Education - Focus on Creative Dramatics
This study examines the Banking Concept of Education as it applies to Ghana’s educational system and to establish whether the educational reforms carried out over the years have made any impact in producing a meaningful alternative to the banking education. Through textual analysis of existing literature on the subject, the study found out that the banking concept of education has persisted in Ghanaian basic schools in spite of the numerous education reforms. This is because the teacher education curriculum does not make provision for any alternative pedagogic approach. The study therefore argues that in order to produce critically thinking students who will be able to proffer solutions to basic problems, creative dramatics must be included in the teacher training curriculum of the University Colleges of education, and incorporated into every discipline, so that every teacher will be trained to apply the concept of creative dramatics to enhance their teaching irrespective of the subject they teach.

Histopathological Effects of Fluoxetine on Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Gills
Fluoxetine is an antidepressant which is also known as the trade names Prozac, and Sarafem. It is used for the treatment of depressive disorders such as depression, obsessive–compulsive disorder, alcohol dependence and panic disorder. In this study, histopathological effects of fluoxetine on zebrafish gill tissue were investigated. 150 ng/L fluoxetine were exposed to adult individuals and after 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 8 days fishes were dissected. In 15, 30 and 60 minutes experimental groups, minimal defects were defected. In the 8 day exposure group, thinning at secondary lamellae of gill tissues were observed. Growth were detected in the cell nuclei. Expansion were monitored at the central vena of gills.

Hybridized Intelligent Data Analysis Model for Fraud Detection in Mobile Communication Networks
The development of intelligent data analysis techniques for fraud detection can be well motivated from an economic point of view. Following the definition of fraud, it is easy to state the losses caused by fraud as primary motivation for fraud detection mechanism. Fraud in communication networks can be described and characterized as determined unobserved intentions to illegitimately use the communication networks in order to avoid service charges or gain unjust advantage. Efforts in this work are directed at fraud detection in post-paid organizational mobile communications networks. Two different complementary approaches are used: (differential and absolute, user profiling and classification approaches). It is observed that fraudulent intentions are reflected in the observed call data, which was subsequently used in describing behavioural patterns of users. Relevant user groups based on call data were identified and users are assigned to a relevant group to model the fraud detection mechanism. In the task the call data was used to learn models of calling behaviour so that these models make inferences about users’ intentions. From the analysis and model detectability experiment carried out in this scientific research work. It was discovered that the model detects over 89% of the fraudsters in the testing set (i.e fraud with certainty factor of 0.89). With the bias proportion of 0.0 and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of (2.71) generated in the fraud detection. The model of course shows a good performance.

Impact of mineral and organic fertilizer on vegetative growth of Jatropha curcas L in sandy soil
Organic agriculture, as an adaptation strategy to climate change, is a concrete and promising option for rural communities and has additional potential as a mitigation strategy. The management of soil organic matter is critical to maintain a sustainable productive organic farming system. They possess many desirable soil properties and exert beneficial effect on the soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics as well as a sink for carbon dioxide sequestration to mitigate the negative impacts of climate changes. In this regard, a field experiment was carried out in a private sandy soil farm in Manshyet El Gammal, Tamiah, Fayum. Egypt to evaluate the effect of mineral and organic fertilizer treatments on growth and some chemical constituent of Jatropha curcas L. The results revealed that there were significantly differences between the fertilization treatment with superiority to the treatment T11 (50% Mineral fertilizer dose + 50% Chicken manures dose + Inoculation with cerialene) which produced the highest values for all the studied vegetative growth parameters as well as photosynthetic pigments content (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids) and macronutrients contents (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium).

Implementation of Efficient Signature Scheme for Leakage Free Dissemination of XML Content using Structure Based Routing
Nowadays security has always been an important issue in the business world to ensure the integrity of content and transactions, to maintain confidentiality and privacy, and to make sure information is disseminated appropriately. But while dealing with contents encoded in XML, the hierarchical tree structured data have different confidentiality and integrity for different portions of the same content. Thus need dissemination approach specifically tailored to XML that addresses the issues of efficiency and scalability must however be provided by assuring at the same time security of contents and privacy of the parties acquiring and disseminating contents. The main objective is to provide solution to above problem using structural properties of tree based data model (such as XML document) and Document Object Model (DOM). This approach is based on notion of Encrypted Post Order Numbers (EPON) which is based on tree traversals and is defined using a random notation of such traversal number. It facilitates efficient dissemination of selected portion of content. By using structure based routing (SBR) scheme that prevents information leakage and assures that delivered content to user according to access control policies. The structure based routing framework facilitates the dissemination of contents with varying degrees of confidentiality and integrity in a network.

Infected Urachal Cyst: Case Report
Urachal cyst is one of a spectrum of urachal abnormalities most commonly found in children. But it is a rare pathologic disease entity in the adult, which may present only with abdominal pain. We describe a case of a 49 year old male who presented with abdominal pain, fever and dysuria. Diagnosis of an infected urachal cyst was confirmed on Computed tomography of the pelvis. He was treated initially with broad spectrum antibiotics in order to allow sepsis to resolve prior to surgical excision of the cyst and fibrous tract. Histology of the excised specimen showed chronic inflammation with no evidence of malignancy. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. Urachal abnormalities are rare in adults. Clinical presentation is non-specific and must be considered as a rare differential for abdominal pain, when diagnosed, surgical excision is advised because of the risk of malignant transformation.
