In this paper, a new topology for the design of a highly compact complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) based dual planar electromagnetic bandgap (DP-EBG) microstrip low-pass filter with a S-shaped geometry is proposed. With the DP-EBG configuration and the S-shaped geometry of microstrip line (MLIN), the proposed structure achieves a very sharp stopband with high attenuation and high selectivity within a very small circuit area. Its passband ripple level is negligible due to the square patch inserted in the MLIN and CSRR in the ground plane of S-shaped geometry. By introducing complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR), the selectivity and the roll-off of the microwave low-pass filter is highly improved. The proposed structure is very simple and easy to fabricate and is highly compatible with monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology.

Zouzounkan massive is one of southern Benin forests whose management is done communally in the transition zone between the crystalline basement and the sedimentary soil. The present study is an application of satellite imagery and statistical modeling to the assessment of Zouzounkan forest cover states since the year 1990 to 2010 . It appears that there is a negative correlation between bare soil and vegetation massif Zouzounkan (-0.74 to clear forests and woodlands and -0.33 for tree and shrub savanna) . The mosaics of crops and fallow induce a negative correlation of -0.29 to clear forests and woodlands. Soil erosion leads to turn a negative correlation of -0.11 with tree and shrub savannah. 2 linear state functions were achieved through factor analysis on the basis of two factorial axes explaining 100% of the variance. The factorial axis 1 is materialized by a linear function f(x) = 0,997 Se + 0,969 FcSb + 0,960 Ma - 0,865 Sd - 0,778 Shs - 0,521 Mcj ; where Se = Soils altered by erosion; fcsb = Clear forest and savanna woodland ; Ma = Wetlands ; Sd = bare floors ; Shs = Savanna Grassland ; Mcj = mosaics of crops and fallow. The factorial axis 2 is represented by F(x) = 0,24 FcSb -0,983 Saa + 0,854 ; With Saa = tree and shrub Savannah. Frome the diagram of components in space after rotation, we deduce that the increase 0.865 units of bare floors or 0.521 units mosaics of crops and fallow causes a degradation of 0.969 units of woodland and savanna Woodland. Urgent mesures of reforestation, erosion control and forest eve well-organized are essential for the sustainability of massive Zouzounkan agroecosystems.

Adversarial relationships have long dominated business relationships, but Supply Chain Management (SCM) entails a new perspective. SCM requires a movement away from arms-length relationships toward partnership style relations. SCM involves integration, co-ordination and collaboration across organisations and throughout the supply chain. It means that SCM requires internal (intraorganisational) and external (interorganisational) integration. This paper analyses the relationship between internal and external integration processes, their effect on firms' performance and their contribution to the achievement of a competitive advantage. Performance improvements are analysed through costs, stock out and lead time reductions. And, the achievement of a better competitive position is measured by comparing the firm's performance with its competitors' performance.

Adolescence is a phase of the life which is generally can be considered as "re-birth" as many physiological, emotional, cognitive changes takes place. It is the phase of a life where there is a change in the personality of an individual takes place. Erikson and Marcia have considered this phase as identity formation or confusion phase. According to Piaget, there is spurt in the cognitive development of individual at this age. Moreover, it is also the phase wherein individual is under the influence of peer group rather than the parents or elders. Therefore, an individual is always faced with conflict and struggle related to needs and satisfaction especially with his social environment. An individual has to reconcile with his conflict and struggle and thus maintain equilibrium which is generally called adjustment. Though, there are several areas of adjustment like school, home, emotional, educational and personal but, most important is the social adjustment of adolescence especially in light of the present contemporary society. The investigator self-designed and standardized the social adjustment scale on the urban population in the age group of 13-17 years. Thereafter, tool was administered to 246 students taken from heterogeneous schools. The number of male and female participated in the study was 131 and 115. The result obtained was that majority of the male and female fall in the moderate category of social adjustment. Moreover, there was no significant difference between the female and male students on social adjustment.

Agrarian conflict sticking lately actually comes from access and economic orientation of agrarian policies of the past. This chaotic place since colonial government and continued into the new order until now. The end of 2011, the national media exposes Mesuji case. A case characterized by its outstanding beheading video is torn into a national issue. The government immediately takes action to set up a Joint Fact Finding Team (Fact Finding Team) Mesuji case. Sector legislation concerning the management of resources contributed to the Agrarian enunciator Agrarian conflicts. Birth of various sectoral laws such as the law and the law of plantation forestry, impact on the management of diverse resources primarily agrarian land. The diversity of legal rules also cause disharmony that gave birth to the issue of inequality and deepening agrarian structure which leads to the agrarian conflict. Mediation process to resolve land conflicts between residents and the East Mesuji PT Prima Alumga (PPA), resumed. The company is ready to give some land to the citizens. Mediation meeting chaired by Regent Mesuji Khamamik, attended PPA owner Hepi Trenggono, Lampung Police Operations Bureau Chief Commissioner Sahimin, Tulang Bawang district police chief Assistant Commissioner of Shoebarmen, Head North Rawajitu Edyson Basid, and some community leaders Cambai River Village, East Mesuji. In the mediation meeting, Khamamik provide direction in order to resolve the land conflict mediation was undertaken in good faith and open mutual agreement. In previous meeting PPA agreed to manage his part of the land concession, then the results are given to people Cambai River and River Assembly.

Since the creation of money, a good reading of inflation evolutions is an essential element for many economic actors. However, inflation as measured by the consumer price index represents some volatility. Indeed, since its establishment, the general price index shows a marked seasonality and its level rises irregularly. Therefore, It is essential for a central bank to distinguish in the evolutions of the inflation between what is simply noise , destined to disappear quickly, what is a sustainable trend. In the context of price stability that have adopted the aim of their monetary policy, central banks should control and have an accurate measure of structural inflation, namely the component corrected by the influence of economic cycle, because it is this element that is monetary origin. This component of inflation, called core inflation is obtained by canceling the cyclical component attributed to shocks on output. We try in this work to measure the main component of inflation in Tunisia from a structural VAR. The results comfort the choice of the approach because the calculated core inflation seems broadly in compliance with that waited on the theoretical plan.
