Role of Investigating Officer (IO) in Criminal Proceeding: Bangladesh Perspective
Investigating officers (IO) play a prodigious role in the criminal justice system, because an investigation report is a very important document in most of the criminal cases, but sometimes it becomes a major obstacle in acquiring justice. Investigating office’s reluctance to appear in the court, false report given by IO or corruption may hinder victim’s access to justice. Investigating officers also face different challenges in case of an investigation and making a report which affects victims’ rights under the criminal justice framework. This paper cited primary bases as well as legislations, rules and regulations; and secondary bases comprising books, journals, law reports, periodicals and other resources from the internet. Consequently, an endeavour has been made to reconnoitre role of IO in the present procedure and practice of criminal investigation in Bangladesh. Specially, the challenges in the practice of investigation in Bangladesh are assessed. A mass of suggestions is also offered with the assumption that the reforms in the criminal justice system should be initiated first at the investigation stage. This article also attempts to disclose the role of IO under criminal proceedings and different obstacles as they face in Bangladesh, which may affect victims in criminal proceedings.

PENERAPAN FP-GROWTH DALAM PENJUALAN PERLENGKAPAN IBADAH UMAT MUSLIM
AbstractAnugrah Shop is one of the shops that sells Muslim worship equipment, where the items sold include caps, sarongs, turban, kebat sides, koko clothes, mukena, prayer veils, shirts, ihram clothes and prayer beads. For approximately 18 years this shop has been operating, and the level of sales of goods has increased more and more. However, in the last 1 year there has been a problem, where the percentage of unsold goods was 60% compared to the goods sold as much as 40%. This condition certainly makes shops get less than optimal benefits, coupled with the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic which is very influential, especially decreasing people's purchasing power. In addition, the placement of goods is also irregular due to the accumulation of goods and no storage warehouse is available. Therefore, themethod is used FP Growth to analyze the pattern of combinations of goods sold and unsold, so that it is expected to increase the percentage of sales which has been a problem. The results of this research can find the most sold products, namely the cap, koko shirt and sarong. The conclusion is that the products of the cap, koko shirt, sarong with avalue of support 21.9% and avalue of confidence 90.60%.Keywords: Muslims, Covid-19, FP-Growth, support, confidenceToko Anugrah merupakan salah satu toko yang menjual perlengkapan ibadah umat muslim, dimana barang yang dijual antara lain peci, sarung, sorban, samping kebat, baju koko, mukena, sejadah, kerudung, kemeja, baju ihram dan tasbih.

Marketing of Orange Fruit in Maiduguri Metropolitan Area, Borno State, Nigeria
This study examined the marketing of orange fruit in Maiduguri. Primary data were obtained from the respondents with the use of structured questionnaires that were filled through interviews from 60 respondents. 30 wholesalers were randomly selected from the major wholesale market and 30 retailers, were also randomly selected, ten each from three different wards of the town. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the socio-economic characteristics of the marketers as well as the problem associated with the orange fruit marketing. Gross margin analysis was used to determine the profitability of the marketing, while Gini coefficient was used to determine the degree of market concentration. The results show that all orange marketers were in their economically active age and are mostly males with very few educated up to tertiary level (ten percent). The cost and returns analysis showed that the gross margin per marketer per week for wholesalers is N 228,500, while for retailers is lower at N 6,355. However, the gross margin per kilogramme of N 30 for the wholesale market is less than that for the retail market which stood at N 41/kg. The wholesale market has a high level of market concentration with a Gini coefficient of 0.813, while the retail market has a lower degree of concentration with a coefficient of 0.466. The markets therefore have monopolistic and oligopolistic tendencies respectively. Problems mentioned by the marketers include shortage of capital and storage facilities. The study therefore recommends that credit at favourable terms and modern storage facilities be provided to the marketers. This can enable them to expand their scale and possibly lower their cost. This could lead to lower prices to consumers and hence increased intake of orange fruits for better health outcomes.

Distribution and abundance of freshwater snails in Warwade Dam, Dutse, Northern Nigeria
Preliminary investigation in August, 2017 reported the presence of Lymnaea natalensis, Bellamya unicolor, Melanoides tuberculata and Bulinus globosus in order of increasing abundance and distribution in Warwade dam, Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. A follow up study was carried out from April to October, 2019 to reveal further details on the abundance and distribution of freshwater snails in relation to some physiochemical factors of the dam. Four sampling sites; human activity, vegetation cover, lentic and lotic were selected for the study along the bank of the dam. Freshwater snails were collected using long handled scoop net with mesh 0.2mm complemented by hand picking methods in the four sampling sites. Water samples from the sampling sites were analyzed in the laboratory using standard procedures. A total of 2,027 of freshwater snails belonging to ten species were identified. Bulinus globosus 12(0.6%) and Lymnaea natalensis 12(0.6%) had the lowest abundance and distribution while Melanoides tuberculata 1553(76.6%) had the highest. Snail abundance was highest in site characterized by human activities (670) followed by vegetation (482), lotic (442) and lentic (433) waters. Most of the physico-chemical factors measured appeared to favour the growth and survival of fresh water snails. pH (p = 0.01), water current (p = <0.01) and magnesium ion concentration (p = < 0.01) varied significantly across the four sites. Only calcium ion concentration was significantly associated with snail abundance (p = 0.04). Snail abundance showed weak positive relationship with water temperature, color, turbidity and concentration of magnesium ion. The dam habours about ten species of freshwater snails in different abundance and distribution with M. tuberculata being the most abundant throughout the period of investigation. The dominance of M. tuberculata over other species particularly those of medical and veterinary importance could have positive implication for their control in the dam
Antibiotic resistance profiles of Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolated from dogs and cats
Aims: Antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is increasing gradually towards those antibiotics that are frequently used leading to limited therapeutic options due to multidrug resistance. The objectives of the study were to investigate the antibiotic resistance profiles of S. pseudintermedius isolates from pet and stray dogs and cats in Selangor, Malaysia and to detect the resistance genes (mecA and BlaZ) within the isolates.
Methodology and results: A total of 200 stray and pet dogs and cats were sampled. The samples were cultured onto Mannitol Salt agar and all the presumptive colonies were subcultured, then identified using biochemical tests and confirmed by PCR assay targeting the nuc gene. The isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility test against 12 antibiotics. Twenty three isolates (11.5%) were positive to S. pseudintermedius (stray cats, 11/50; stray dogs, 9/50; pet dogs, 3/50 and pet cats, 0/50). One hundred percent (100%) of the S. pseudintermedius isolates were found to be resistant to penicillin, erythromycin and tetracycline while they showed 100% susceptible to oxacillin, amoxicillinclavulanic acid, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, cephalexin and rifampicin. The blaZ gene which codes for β-lactamases production was found in all of the isolates that were resistant to penicillin but not to methicillin.
Conclusion, significance and impact of study: A high number of S. pseudintermedius from dogs and cats developed antibiotic resistance which is a public health concern
