With the coming of the internet manual method of doing businesses has change dramatically to a computerized way of doing operations, similarly it also possess a threat to information security. Consequently, organizations’ that fells to address or take serious security measures are likely to fall under cyber-attacks, therefore vital information will be damage. To minimize such occurrences in both public and private organization there is a need to have digital forensic framework that they will be used in other to protect sensitive information from being compromise.

Lifestyle is a person's pattern of life expressed by one's activities, interests, and opinions. This study focused on VALS study of luxury goods (luxury brands) consumption. Counterfeiting is the main problem for luxury products and brands. This study aimed to analyze brand recognition, brand categorization and purchase intention of respondents in buying smartphone and perfume products designed in the attribute of name and appearance with a semiotic approach.This study used experimental design. The data were obtained through online questionnaires distributed to 120 respondents.

Objective: the objective of this study was to compare laboratory parameters of elderly individuals with and without hypovitaminosis D. Methods: this is an epidemiological, cross-sectional, analytical study, nested with a cohort of elderly residents in Aiquara-Bahia, Brazil. Of 231 elderly people, data were obtained: socioeconomic, health conditions, lifestyle, hematological, biochemical and hormonal exams. The data were analyzed in the SPSS, obtaining the frequencies and percentages of categorical variables and median blood parameters.

Tomato (Solanumlycopersicum L.) is among the most cultivated vegetables in the world, being produced in more than 160 countries. Pollination is a symbiotic process that occurs between pollinating and pollinated species and its importance are to ensure reproduction, fruit development and maintain genetic diversity and a wide variety of food. Fifteen random flowers were selected, which were covered with packages made of "TNT" (non-woven fabric). After the 40-day period, nine pollinated fruits and nine non-pollinated fruits were collected.

A patent is an important tool for the inventor as it gives him a temporary monopoly of exploitation due to the novelty achieved during research for the invention. Currently Brazilian inventors have 30,000 applications at the INPI, which grants about 900 patent applications per year filed. This gap between patent entry and conclusion occurs largely due to a slow system designed just to coexist with other protection models.

The Government of Mali has been promotingirrigation in Mali in order to meet food needs of the growing population and in the context of climate change. One example of that effort is the Niger office which consists of a vast irrigated area for rice and vegetable production in Mali. More than two decadesago, farmers in the OdN have engaged them selve to apply fertilizer in their field to protect crops.

In spite of its restricted use, due to data quantity and difficulty of interpretation, spectroradiometry is a potential application for precision agriculture. In this study, samples of lowland soils were collected according to a regular grid. Each sample was analyzed by conventional physicochemical methods (Al, Ca, K, Mg, Na, P and clay) and spectroradiometry (2151 bands, 350 to 2500 nm).The work aimed to simulate physicochemical variables using data from spectroradiometry bands.

Ziziphus lotus, belonging to the Rhamnaceae family, is a deciduous shrub which generally grows in arid and semiarid regions of the globe. The aim of the present study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of solvents with wide range of polarity of various parts of Z. lotus against Klebsiellapneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Mycobacterium smegamatisusing agar well diffusion method. The collected plant part was processed for themaceration extraction followed by solvent evaporation. The antimicrobial activity was assessed by agar well diffusion method.

Soil fertility and weed control are fundamental factors for vinasse and herbicide applications in sugarcane crops, however environmental damage can be caused by their continuous and increasing use. Therefore, the present study aimed to analyze the changes in microbial community and ecotoxicological potential of sugarcane soil for different associations of vinasse and tebuthiuron. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme 4x2, linked to vinasse volume (V0-0,5-1,0-2,0) and to tebuthiuron recommended dose (H0-1).

This study examines the impact of receiving training on wheat productivity using 837 sample farm households in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. It employed Propensity score matching (PSM) technique since it is an increasingly utilized standard approach for evaluating impacts using observational data. And the study revealed that receiving training on wheat during the farming season appears to significantly increase productivity on the average by 28 to 36% for farm households in the study area.
