Pemodelan dan Simulasi Motor Kapasitor pada Kondisi Variable Speed
Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC) Motor is a type of single-phase induction motor which widely used and one of circuit to run the water pump. The water pump is needed in the irrigation of agricultural land. If the location of agricultural land is not supplied with electricity grid, then the Water Pump may be driven by solar modules. This paper describes a design of power electronics system that convert DC Power from Solar Panels into AC Power for supplying the PSC Motor. The idea of this paper is to look at the speed characteristics of PSC Motor from the effect of sunlight Irradiance. The system is simulated using MATLAB-Simulink R2015a. The system driver consist of Push Pull Converter and Full Bridge Inverter type. DC voltage of the solar panel is raised to 311 V using Push Pull Converter, then the voltage is converted into AC voltage using the full bridge inverter. PSC Motor models and solar module models are using the available models in the MATLAB-Simulink R2015a library. The Motor Capacitor models is using the Single Phase Asynchronous Machine models and Capacitor of 16 μF. The Motor parameters is using the parameters that have been proposed by Hrabovcova V. The solar Modules use the MEMC Singapore MEMC-M250ACA-20. In this research, the solar panel was given the sunlight Irradiance with 5 conditions, the condition is: Irradiance 1000 W/m2, 800 W/m2, 600 W/m2, 400 W/m2, and 200 W/m2. The effect of sunlight Irradiances shows the speed characteristics of PSC motor that follows logarithmic trendline

ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TOWARDS VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN OTA, OGUN STATE, NIGERIA
Vocational education is a vital tool for economic development. The Federal Government, in 2011,launched the Senior Secondary Education Curriculum (SSEC) which requires that all senior secondary school students be trained in one vocational subject. This study examines the attitudes of students and teachers towards vocational education in secondary schools in Ado-Odo Local Government,Ogun State, Nigeria. It aims to highlight the factors that affect and influence the attitudes of students and teachers towards vocational training as well as identify ways through which these attitudes can be improved. The study employs the use of questionnaires distributed to 200 students and 60 teachers in four secondary schools in Adodo-Ota LGA. The results show that students and teachers recognize the
importance of vocational education. The study recommends that students be provided with modern day equipment to encourage students’ engagement in vocational subjects. The curriculum for the teaching of vocational subjects should be comprehensive, standardized and enforced in all secondary
schools to ensure that students acquire all the skills they need to practice the vocation(s). These will improve vocational education and the attainment of its goals in secondary schools
Odontogenic tumours: a review of 266 cases
Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the relative frequency of odontogenic tumours at a tertiary hospital
in Ibadan, as well as to study the various histologic types based on WHO 2005 classification and to compare
results from this study with those of previous studies.
Study design: The records of the Oral Pathology Department of University College Hospital were reviewed. Lesions
diagnosed as odontogenic tumours were categorized into four groups based on WHO 2005 classification and
were analyzed for age, sex and site using SPSS for Window (version 18.0; SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL) and frequency
tables were generated.
Results: Two hundred and sixty six (41.7%) cases of odontogenic tumours were seen. The mean age of occurrence
was 32.6 (±15.815) years (range3-82 years) and peak age was in the third decade of life. Eleven (4.1%) malignant
odontogenic tumours were seen. Ameloblastoma with 65.4% of cases was the most common odontogenic tumour
followed by fibromyxoma (14.7%), no case of odontoma was seen in this series.
Conclusion: The findings were mostly similar to those of African and Asian series and showed variations from reports
from the Americas. The reason for the disparity in African and American series needs further investigations
Appraisal of jaw swellings in a Nigerian tertiary healthcare facility
Introduction: The mandible and maxilla can be the site of myriads of lesions that may be categorized as neoplastic,
cystic, reactive and infective or inflammatory. Literature reviewing jaw swellings in an amalgamated fashion
are uncommon, probably because aetiologies for these swellings are varied. However, to appreciate their relative
relationship, it is essential to evaluate the clinico-pathologic profile of jaw swellings. The aim of this appraisal is to
describe the array of jaw swellings seen at our hospital from 1990 to 2011, to serve as a reference database.
Methodology: Biopsy records of all histologically diagnosed cases of jaw swellings seen at the department of Oral
Pathology, University College Hospital between January 1990 and December 2011 were retrieved, coded and
inputted into SPSS version 20. Data on prevalence, age, sex, site and histological diagnosis were analysed descriptively
for each category of jaw swellings. All patients below 16 years were regarded as children.
Results: A total of 638 jaw swellings were recorded in the 22-year study period. The Non Odontogenic Tumours
(NOT) were the commonest, accounting for 46.2% of all jaw swellings. Odontogenic Tumours (OT) formed 45%
of all adult jaw swelling while it formed 25.2% in children and adolescents. Ameloblastoma was the commonest
while the most common NOT was ossifying fibroma (OF). Chronic osteomyelitis of the jaws was about 6 times
commoner in adult females than males and mostly involved the mandible. The most common malignant jaw swelling
was Burkitts' lymphoma (BL) that was about 7 times more in children than adults. Osteogenic sarcoma was
the most common malignancy in adults.
Conclusion: Jaw swellings are extensively varied in types and pattern of occurrence. This study has categorized
jaw swellings in a simple but comprehensive fashion to allow for easy referencing in local and international data
acquisition and epidemiological comparison
A retrospective review of 61 cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour seen in five tertiary health facilities in Nigeria
Introduction: Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign lesion originating from the dental lamina or its remnants. It is a relatively
uncommon neoplasm representing about 3% of all odontogenic tumors. The aim of this study was to examine the clinical and radiological
characteristics of AOTs in five major tertiary centres in Nigeria. Methods: Archival hospital-based data stores of five tertiary health facilities in
Nigeria were accessed. Case files and biopsy records were retrieved to obtain relevant information. Data was collected according to a proforma for
standardization and entered into and analysed using SPSS for Windows (version 20.0; SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL). Results: 61 (4.5%) cases of AOT
were documented. The age range was 8-46 years with a mean age of 20.4±9.9 years. Male: Female ratio was 1:1.3. The anterior maxilla had 34
(55.8%) cases and the anterior mandible had 20 (32.8%) cases. 40 (65.6%) follicular cases, 20 (32.8%) extra-follicular cases and 1(1.6%) extraosseous
case were found. 31 cases (61.1%) were associated with impacted teeth and the upper canine was involved in 19 (57.6%) cases.
Conclusion: This study showed AOT to be more common in the maxilla, more in females, most often associated with impacted canines, however,
the suggestion of AOT being a “Two third tumour” was not observed in this study
