In Ethiopia, community policing has been announced ofcially as a national program in 2005 E.C with the impetus to nullify crimes at lower tiers. There have been growing reports of prevailing crimes in Jenila district of Harar city. Accordingly, this study endeavors to scrutinize the practices of community policing and associated challenges in the study site. A mixed research deign was used to fetch out primary and secondary data sets. Hence, the participants’ views were captured through questionnaires, key informant interviews and focused group discussions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, bar graph and percentages. The fnding of the study revealed that a greater proportions of the respondents recognized that community policing practices had contributed in preventing crimes; burglary 94 (27%) and robbery 77 (22%) as most frequently recurring and reported types of crimes in the city. While community policing structures and concerned actors operate to smoothly run the programs, there were cropping up predicaments at the grass root levels. Limited awareness among the residents, inadequate fnancial resources and professionally ill-qualifed human power were reported as major obstructions. In the face of increasing crimes, both in terms of intensity and types on the one hand, and intricate challenges to penetrate through on the other hand, the communities of residents aspire to dive deep with a sense of ownership and exploit the opportunities for intensifying the programs stated in community policing programs. Eventually, there was need to move in concerted manner to lessen the impacts of crimes in Jenila district of Harar city.

The Shophouse is a multi-story building that has multiple functions. The 1st floor is used as a commercial area, and the 2nd floor above is used as a residential place. Revitalization is an effort to revive an urban area through improving the quality of the environment, taking into accounts the socio- cultural aspects and characteristics of the region. The facade is the identity of the building itself by retaining elements and elements on the building façade. This research purposes of finding the dominant appearance of the elements of finding in the shophouse façade in the city of Medan, which is useful for the design revitalizing model of the face of the city as the image of the identity city. The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive, with a variable observation phase with the collection of primary and secondary data through direct observation in the field, then analyzed the shop facade elements that have been Grouped and found the most dominant element. The result of the analysis of the dominant facade element found in the shop façade of Medan is China, Malay, and India. The findings of the dominant facade element can be the identity identifier of the region and city of Medan today.

Introduction: Penicillin and penicillin products are in use in everyday medical practice. The most frequently reported adverse drug reactions are those to penicillin. New penicillin allergies occur more often with parenteral than oral treatment. In patients who are allergic to penicillin, prescribed therapy is more often the one of antibiotics of broad spectrum, and this therapy is more expensive. The allergies to penicillin are immunologically mediated. Scope of Study: to present patients' self-reported allergy to penicillin and report on types of adverse reactions following the parenteral administration of penicillin. Methodology: Retrospective study of the work of one physician in the City Institute for EMS Belgrade in the period from 2017 to 2018 involving 2481 patients. Results: There were 242 patients who reported they were allergic to penicillin, of which 160 were able to explain what happened after they were given parenteral penicillin. The cohort group was between 18-85 years old, average age 49.64 ± 17.24, while 65% of them were females. Most frequently reported adverse reactions were rash, redness and itching of the skin, loss of consciousness, swelling of the face, mouth, arms or body in general. Serious reactions have been reported in about 40% of cases. Conclusion: There is a large percentage of self-reported allergies to penicillin, and only a small number of those who experienced serious adverse reactions: swelling, unconsciousness, coma or shock.

Since the year 1998 up to the mid of 2005, in the district ofBanjarsari, there happened an increasing amount of slum areas which might endanger the environmental balance. This research aims at (1) identifying the shift of distribution pattern from the settlement diffusion in the district of Banjarsari Surakarta in the year 2001-2005. (2) Identifying the alteration form of the unoccupied land into slum areas in the district of Banjarsari Surakarta. (3) Identifying the characteristics of slum area dwellers in the district of Banjarsari Surakarta. This research uses the survey method, secondary data analysis and map analysis. The data ar alysis used is tlie closest neighbor analysis, table of frequency, crossed tables and descrip ave analysis. The result shows that (1) the distribution pattern of the slum areas appeared in the district ofBanjarsari in the year 2001 is the random distribution pattern while the one in 2005 is the dissemination pattern. Such pattern indicates the grc wing amount and interraction with the means of transportation and economic condition in those slum areas. (3) The lands which are altered into slum areas in the district of Banjarsari during 2001-2005 take place in the unoccupied areas owned by the state.(3) The distribution of age among the slum area inhabitants is around 41-61 years of age (49%) while tb biggest amount is the new arrivals (57%). The region of Sub province Sragen has the bigges percentage in the distribution of the city inhabitants origin in the district of Banjarsari. Regionally, the inhabitants who come from the hinterland of Surakarta or ex Surakarta residency took the amount lof 73.68%. The highest percentage of educational level of the slum area inhabitants in the district of Banjarsari is the uneducated residents or those from low education level (55%). Most of the respondents occupations of the slum area dwellers in Banjarsari are in the informal sectors (82%) The number of family member in the district of Banjarsari is around l-

Objective: to analyze mental health in the face of visual impairment, identifying the stages of psychological distress in the encounter with the not seeing. Method: This is an exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Fifteen adults with visual impairment attended at a specialized ophthalmology ambulatory in a university hospital in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil were studied, from June to August 2015, through a semistructured interview. The speeches were analyzed based on the theory of mourning. Results: the results showed that the mental health of the visually impaired person is structured through a normative apparatus constituted of individual and social attributes dynamically constructed. These attributes are related to the constitution of stages of mourning, characterized by shock, denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The mental health of the visually impaired person contemplates the phases of normal mourning, established before the condition of visual loss, as structuring mode in a process of personal reconstruction, reflected in the ways of walking the life, proper from each one. Conclusion: With this study, it was possible to understand the ways of constitution and reconstitution of people in dealing with a new condition, the one of visual impairment, providing caregivers, family, and society with an ethical spirit and solidarity, more compliant and humane in the to deal with people with disabilities.

Abstract Heavy rains and El Niño phenomenon are recurring natural phenomena at a national level. These can cause floods due to the overflowing of rivers, which, when close to cities, can cause both human and material losses. The district of Catacaos, located in the city of Piura, was the one with the highest number of injuries due to the flood caused by El Niño phenomenon in 2017. This phenomenon causes a large amounts of rainfalls due to the presence of abnormally warm waters along the northern coast of Peru [1]. It is for this reason that the need arose to carry out an analysis of the physical vulnerability due to instability of people through static equilibrium, in said district, in order to present maps of unsafe areas in the face of this phenomenon. In this investigation, flood hazard maps are generated simulating the one presented in 2017, using 2D hydraulic modeling. For the generation of vulnerability curves, the instability analysis is performed by moment and drag force. Finally, maps with unsafe areas are made using ArcGis software. Where the results obtained indicate that 29.37% of the city was flooded. Likewise, the vulnerability maps generated show us that women and men over 18 years of age in the city of Catacaos would be vulnerable to dragging and overturning in the face of floods in 16.54% and 13.21%, respectively, of the total studied area. This information will be useful for the development of future evacuation plans during floods, carried out by national entities.

This piece sets out an exploration of the relations between the city, the body and the face, seeking to understand in particular how the city and the face could be articulated with reference to an image of the body. It is suggested that the face and the city entertain a kind of privileged affinity. Just as the face unsettles the head and the bodily system to which it belongs, projecting the latter into an intersubjective social system of interaction and signification, so the city unsettles the land where it is located, projecting it into long-distance connections with similar entities scattered across the continent, and beyond. The piece evolves into the twin exploration of, on the one hand, ‘the city of the face’ and, on the other, ‘the face of the city’.

Resumo Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar zonas de risco para a leptospirose no ambiente urbano em Aracaju/SE/BR, buscando identificar o perfil da doença no recorte espacial em estudo, bem como o contexto no qual a doença se expressa e suas relações com as variáveis socioambientais no recorte temporal de 2010 a 2015. Trata-se de um estudo ecológico, descritivo, analítico e quantitativo, com uso da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental a partir de dados secundários, finalizando com o recurso da modelagem geoespacial. O modelo elaborado para o risco à leptospirose em Aracaju delimitou três zonas distintas na qual a de mais alto risco abrange os bairros da periferia norte da cidade, bem como a zona periférica sul, ambas com os mais baixos níveis de renda e deficiências na infraestrutura local. O reconhecimento de áreas de risco do ponto de vista socioambiental com concentração da doença torna-se importante para as ações de controle de endemias desde que integradas a outras políticas públicas voltadas para melhoria no saneamento, habitação, educação e distribuição de renda. Palavras chave: Ambiente urbano; Saúde coletiva; Risco socioambiental;  Leptospirose   Abstract This paper aims to identify Leptospirosis risk areas in the urban environment in Aracaju, capital city of the State of Sergipe in Brazil, seeking to identify the profile of the disease in the area studied, as well as the context in which the disease happens and its relations with socio-environmental variables, from 2010 to 2015. This is an ecological, descriptive, analytical and quantitative study, using bibliographical and documentary research based on secondary data, ending with the use of geospatial modeling. The model which was prepared for the Leptospirosis risk in Aracaju delimited three distinct zones, in which the one of highest risk covers the neighborhoods of the northern periphery of the city, as well as the southern peripheral zone, both with the lowest levels of income and deficiencies in terms of infrastructure. The acknowledge of socio-environmental risk areas with disease concentration becomes important for endemic control actions, since they are integrated with other public policies aimed at improving sanitation, housing, education and income distribution.

Este trabajo se propone ilustrar posibles lecturas acerca de un proceso de reconversión de la imagen identitaria de una ciudad de rango medio. De modo específico, se centrará en el nombramiento oficial de la ciudad de Azul (ubicada al sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina) como “Ciudad Cervantina”, otorgado en 2007 por el centro Unesco Castilla - La Mancha. Proclamado como tal sobre la base de hitos consolidados en las primeras décadas del siglo XX, el perfil cultural de la ciudad configuró un relato hegemónico donde lo cervantino fue ponderado como valor distintivo frente al contexto regional e internacional. Tomando un corpus de registros etnográficos, me propongo analizar cómo “la ciudad” atraviesa este proceso de emblematización de su imagen a partir de dos focalizaciones empíricas. Por un lado, el sector impulsor del nombramiento que ocupa este trabajo, referenciado en una biblioteca-museo (“Casa Ronco”). Por el otro, una agrupación local de moteros (“Quijotes del camino”) concebida en términos de parodia e ilustrativa de las posibles re-significaciones populares edificadas ante el uso restringido del concepto de cultura con anclaje en lo cervantino.Palabras clave: Cultura. Lo cervantino. Parodia. Popular. The cult and the parody of a "ciudad cervantina"AbstractThis paper proposes to illustrate possible readings about a reconversion process of the identity image of an intermediate-range city. Specifically, it will focus on the official appointment of Azul (located to the southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina) as “Cervantes City”, granted in 2007 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Proclaimed as such in the first decades of the twentieth century, the cultural profile of the city set up a hegemonic account where “Cervantes” was weighted as a distinctive value in the face of regional and international context. Considering a corpus of ethnographic records, I intend to analyze how “the city” crosses this process of reconversion from two empirical focuses. On the one hand, the driving sector of the appointment, referenced in a library-museum (“Ronco House”). On the other hand, a local motorcycle club “Quijotes del camino” (Quixotes of the way) conceived as parody and illustrative of some popular resignifications facing a restricted use of the culture concept referenced in “Cervantes”.Keywords: Culture. Cervantes. Parody. Popular.

Much recent work on coordination in the HPSG framework seeks to deal with some of the most intractable issues this phenomenon poses for a constraint-based phrase structure architecture by appealing to the linearization mechanism introduced in Reape 1993. The research in question utilizes the mismatch between linear phonological sequences on the one hand and phrasal configuration on the other to underwrite a particular interpretation of ellipsis in which multiple structural objects with identical or near-identical descriptions are mapped to a single dom-object token. This mapping apparently allows a variety of problematic cases, such as right node raising, dependent cluster coordination, and unlike category coordination to be reinterpreted as instances of ordinary coordination in which structurally present elements receive no prosodic expression, creating the impression that strings which do not correspond to constituents of the same category have nonetheless been conjoined or disjoined. I argue in this paper that such linearization-based ellipsis (LBE) analyses, though plausible when confined to a narrow class of simplest-case data, prove untenable in the face of data sets in which the LBE approach must account for the interaction of nonconstituent coordination and quantification or symmetric predication, symmetrical modification of nominal heads, and a large and varied class of unlike category coordinations that do not admit of any ellipsis-based solutions. I show in addition that various objections offered in the LBE literature to categorial grammar treatments of the problems posed by noncanonical coordinations do not take into account techical resources available to CG which permit straightforward and unproblematic solutions to these problems. One must conclude that despite the general poplularity of LBE accounts of conjunction, there is at the moment no satisfactory HPSG treatment of noncanonical coordinations.
