AbstractProtases ('if'-clauses) in the North West Caucasian language Abkhaz are mostly marked by either /-r/ or /-zα.r/, depending on the tense and/or type of verb (Stative or Dynamic) concerned. The article presents examples of this conditional usage and the role of protasis-type forms in both temporal and interrogative expressions as well as in complementiser-function. The complementisers in question share the semantic feature of irrealis with conditionals. A rhotic element is also found in the non-finite form of the Future I tense, in the Masdar (verbal noun), and in such converbs as the Purposives, the Resultative and the Future Absolute. The article attempts to link the semantic notions of futurity, potentiality, indefiniteness or general irrealis to the rhotic element and asks what might have been the historical development resulting in the forms attested today and thus their original morphological segmentation.

In the extreme northernmost part of Canada, lying between North Latitudes 56° and 68° and West Longitudes 88° and 112°, is an area of about 400,000 square miles, which had up to the past two years remained geologically unexplored.In 1892 the Director of the Geological Survey of Canada sent the writer to explore the country north of Churchill River, and south-west of Lake Athabasca;in1893 the exploration was continued northward, along the north shore of Athabasca Lake

Abstract Background The National Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit (NEIAA) has provided the opportunity for rheumatology services to benchmark the care they provide. It provides a mechanism to identify where services can make improvements and to raise awareness about inflammatory arthritis. We felt it important to share our results with patients and involve patients in the discussion about how we improve the service we deliver. This project outlines how we went about doing this. Methods Data submitted to the NEIAA online tool were downloaded for analysis. This included all patients recruited during the first year of the audit. Results were presented initially to the Rheumatology Multi-Disciplinary Team. Driver diagrams were developed by the team and areas for improvement identified. A patient poster for the waiting area was also developed. This provided information about our performance in the audit and what changes we were looking to make. Results, driver diagrams and the patient poster were then presented to our National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) patient support group at one of their lunchtime meetings. We met again two weeks later with members from the patient group to get feedback on the driver diagrams and patient poster. Results Results from the first year of the audit demonstrated that there was significant room for improvement across all seven quality standards. Driver diagrams identified areas for improvement across the whole patient pathway. Forty-five patients and carers attended the lunchtime meeting presentation. Patients identified various areas where they could get involved with improving the patient pathway. These included putting up posters in the community to raise awareness about rheumatoid arthritis and running another Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Day. Other proposals were to provide more lunchtime meetings to improve understanding about the condition and management and promote aspects of self-management and developing the role of the Expert Patient locally to support newly diagnosed patients. The patient poster received lots of positive comments, it was suggested that we remove any statistics which might cause alarm and be difficult to interpret and to focus on what quality improvements had already happened locally. Conclusion Involving patients in the discussion has been a fascinating and rewarding experience. Patients have been empowered and their input has been valued. Patients have provided additional suggestions as to how they can get involved to support the service and improve the patient pathway. The patient poster now tells a positive story and acknowledges our unsatisfactory performance in the first year of the audit and more importantly focuses on what we are doing to improve the service we deliver.

Woodside as Operator, on behalf of three Joint Venture groups, over the last decade has acquired eight 3-D seismic surveys covering some 4 600 km2 over the Rankin Trend and Dampier Sub-Basin Production Licences and Exploration Permits on the North West Shelf of Australia. This area represents approximately 45 per cent coverage of the present Woodside operated acreage in the area. The acquisition, processing and interpretation technology and also the benefits derived from the 3-D technique have changed remarkably since the first North West Shelf 3-D survey in 1981. This paper focusses on the main technological developments in 3-D seismic, particularly involving multi-source and streamer technology, increased spatial sampling and interpretation techniques which have changed the role of 3-D seismic in Exploration strategies through the 1980s and into the 1990s.

The Article presents an analysis of the role of the media sector in the structure created by the placement of tourist routes in the subjects of the Russian Federation. The sample size was 6000 routes in all federal districts of Russia. The problem of poor service provided by the hotel services in Russia is one of the major problems hindering the development of domestic tourism. Value for money and sometimes do not match. Part of the situation could have saved the increasing competition with the hotels listed in the international circuit, which created its own rules of corporate culture, high standards of service, clearly defined for each category of hotel (in terms of stardom). However, this does not justify a revision of its marketing strategy of independent hoteliers. It is also important to pay attention to accommodation, similar to hotels and other accommodation facilities. They are also well represented in the tourist market. According to the author, the low level of service in accommodation facilities is determined not so much by the reluctance of management to improve it, as the structure of demand from tourists and tour operators, to create a product. Most of the routes, which include the need to accommodate tourists, implemented on average, in the area the day — two. At the same time, tourists do not stay in accommodation facilities for a long time and continue your route on. This circumstance serves as an incentive to change the quality of services. Moreover, the article stipulates that personal and other accommodations are well represented in the routes of major federal districts like Central, Ural, Siberia, Far East. Accommodation in hotels more common routes in the North- West, Volga, the Crimea and North Caucasian Federal District. Accommodation facilities, in this case, are the operators of the individual passive format services. However, this strategy cannot be used by all players of the hospitality industry in all federal districts. The specificity of the regions and their remoteness from each other, the price level in the field must be limiting conditions in which hoteliers could develop. It is therefore proposed that the need to actively offer ideas own hiking tour operators or actively interact with them, attracting all new, including the unorganized tourist flows.

This study was carried out from February 2018 to June 2019 in Mezam Division-Cameroon, under the auspices of the Program for the Improvement of Competiveness of Family Agro-pastoral Farms (PCP-ACEFA) and the North West Farmers’ Organization (NOWEFOR). The objective of the study was to assess the role of FOs in the reinforcement of the economic capacities of farmers in the region. Secondary sources data were reviewed while primary source data were gotten directly from farmrs in the field. Two hundred and eighty (280) farmers’ members of these FOs were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire and 7 leaders were interviewed using an interview guide. In addition, direct observations were made. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS. The findings show that, 18.57% of the respondents who possessed agricultural equipments in their farms  from the support of SOS Faim/EC, 17.14%  as a result of MINADER  support, 20% as a result of ACEFA support and 44.28% coming from the farmers own capital. Beneficiaries of the aid hired 30% of workerss compared to 12.8% the non beneficiaries. The contribution of FOs in the development of the economic capacities of farmers was overall positive as 48.57% of the beneficiary farmers had a higher income than non beneficiaries. The beneficiaries’ respective mean annual gross margin for market gardening (263, 863), poultry (375,343) and piggery (64,615) are statistically higher than that of non beneficiaries. Conclusively FOs are pivotal for famers in the development process and the strengthening of the economic capacities of farmers.
