Rohinton Mistry is an Indo Canadian novelist who was born in Mumbai but at present he resides in Canada. As he belongs to the Parsi community, his ancestors originally belonged to Iran who migrated from Iran to India at that time. The same is the reason as to why Rohinton Mistry feels a double sense of migration, as his ancestors migrated to India and he migrated from India to Canada. This took the form of diasporic concept or in other words identity crisis in his novels like A Fine Balance and Family Matters. In A Fine Balance, the story of Ishvar and Omprakash deals with their identity crisis as they are considered to be untouchable because of belonging to ‘chamaar’ aste. In order to break away from the shackles of ntouchability, they both learn the art of a Muslim tailor. Other than this, in Family Matters the story of a family of Parsi origin has been portrayed by Mistry who faces a great deal of crisis at the domestic level. The story revolves around a character named Nariman, a widower, who faces the rudeness of his step son Coomy after being sick. Soon Roxana, his real daughter takes him to her house though she faces a lot of economic crisis because of this. This paper aims at analyzing the struggles of migration and family conflicts in Mistry’s novels.

Water which is one of the basic resources on the earth acts as the means of sustenance and factor of development of all living organisms in the biosphere. Such a kind of elixir of life occurs in the surface, underground and atmosphere. The drainage basin being a source of water resource base provides availability and scope for easy supply of water for various uses. The yield of surface water in terms of water discharge caused by rainfall within a drainage basin plays an important role in the sustainable planning and management. A proper assessment and evaluation of these two surface water bases shall lead one to better understand the yield, frequency variation, seasonality and dependence as well amount of rainfall as the causal factors of these resources on one hand and budget of the water discharge on the other. The present paper attempts to evaluate the status of seasonal yield, dependence and variability of water discharge as well as rainfall in and around Barnadi River basin located in the middle part of the northern bank of Brahmaputra River in Assam. The analysis of this paper reveals that the seasonal yield of peak discharges of Barnadi river for the period of 1991-2010 are that 352.14 cumecs in autumn, 1157.92 in pre-monsoon, 2811.95 in monsoon and 870.84 cumecs in post- monsoon seasons. The frequency variation of rainfall particularly during monsoon season in the duration of 1978 – 2003 indicates a negative trend amounting 1439.42 mm and 1258.38 mm in 1978 and 2003.

Time in which we live is characterized by extremely great development of science and technology, which permanently changes all the pores of economic and social life. Furthermore in the contemporary conditions of business development, role of information technology and information system has become critical and information technology has gained importance when it comes to the success and efficiency of the business, as in performing daily operations as well as in making strategic decisions. Management of organizations has changed a lot in recent decades, especially when considering the development of information technology and its progress that occurred in the last decade. Thus, information technology every day more and more is becoming a key factor in all dimensions of human life and society, whether in private life as well as in society and work. At the same time we can say that information technology has become an integral part of the society in which its role and importance have a very strong and undeniable impact in its organizing and functioning in general. So, given the fact that information has a key role in all fields of life, then it is clearly understood how important it is also for the employees and managers in organizations. In this scientific paper I have presented some of the components of the computing system for each element explaining the role and importance that they have for the general organization and management in particular, and also for the support that it provides to the management in decision making for employees and the organization.

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different osmotica on a variety of oat by subjecting it to various treatments of salts of sodium and potassium and water stress (using Polyethylene glycol ‘6000’ and Mannitol). It was observed from the study that oat variety (JHO-822) stressed osmotically when subjected to treatments with polyethylene glycol ‘6000’ and mannitol. Both osmotic and drought stress were found to influence different aspects of metabolic processes, resulting in a decline of photosynthetic efficiency and disrupted carbohydrate metabolism. Increased shoot/root length was observed along with increased fresh/dry weight in case of PEG 5%. In 10% mannitol and 15% mannitol solution, the shoot and root length of Avena sativa L. was totally inhibited. However, at higher concentration, i.e.

Tourism is an economic activity which is aimed at exploiting the tourism potential. With the difficulties that he has gone through various stages in the Republic of Kosovo development of this activity has achieved alongside economic development of the country. The Republic of Kosovo has enough tourist potential, yet this activity does not address the right place for the economic development of the country. Its development will contribute to increase the GDP of the country. We will thus deserved ranked in the economic development strategy of the country . Tourism in our country is not the most developed but is less identified and less developed and has great need to provide a national marketing, the State, and is organized by a committee of the State in order to develop and identified as ideal for visiting tourism and attract visitor to local and foreign. Even in Kosovo tourism is the important economic branches. Kosovos tourism industry has achieved 8-10% of local social product, depending on which year is the fact the word and are considering all factors directly (hotel industry, gastronomy) or indirect factors (agriculture, construction, etc.).

This paper deals with the emotional competence of the science Pre-service teachers of Himachal Pradesh which is mentioned as a predictor of their mental health. By opting the survey method the researcher randomly selected 120 science Pre-service teachers from colleges of education of four districts of Himachal Pradesh. Mental Health Inventory developed by Dr. Jagdish and Dr. A.K. Srivastava (1996) and Scale of Emotional Competency (SEC) developed by H.C. Sharma and R. Bhardwaj used by the researcher to measure emotional competence of Pre-service teachers of science. The findings of the study revealed that Pre-service teachers of science belonging to general and reserved categories were found significantly different in their mental health. The poor score of mental health of Pre-service teachers belonging to reserved category indicates their weakness in qualities like self-confidence, self-acceptance, self-identity, self-realization, acceptance of others and adjustment in different situations. The results of the study further revealed that there is no significant difference in the mental health of high and low emotionally competent Pre-service teachers of science. It shows that emotions do not affect the mental health of Pre-service teachers of science. The valuable suggestions are also mentioned by the researcher for the improving mental health of science Pre-service teachers.

Attenuation of satellite communication signal by upper atmospheric plasma turbulence is of concern at higher signal frequencies. The molecular species such as are molecular oxygen, O2 and water vapor (H2O) are responsible for attenuation each of these molecules has its own set of frequencies where certain intermolecular resonances are excited. For satellite communication, the most important frequencies for resonance absorption are at 22 GHz in water vapor and 60 GHz in molecular Oxygen. The diversion of HF and some intermediate wave radio signals to Earth via the ionosphere gives increase to global HF radio transportations. This phenomenon becomes vital throughout sunshine hours, and for a little bit after sundown when the upper atmosphere is ionized.

Just as preservation of Nature is the most important thing on the earth in the same way preservation of feminist sensibility is also the most important aspect in this human world. They are two sides of one coin, that is, spirituality. Feminism is spirituality. Spirituality lives inside nature everywhere. However, this paper aims at analyzing and highlighting dignity for both nature and women. This is a philosophy for saving feminism and the ecology. Ruskin Bond has made a contribution to preserve Nature and Feminism with his creative writing.

Advertisement plays an important role in communication. Schools also advertise through their slogans. Fifteen renowned slogans of District Gujrat Schools are collected to analyze. It is a qualitative research and describes semantic perspective of these slogans. Rhetorical figure theory supports as a theoretical frame work which asserts that in a situation there are number of ways to express any proposition and to sway an audience some of them are most effective. For that, Hyperbole is mostly used. While short sentences, inspiring and motivational words are also used. They are an effective way to advertise.

Since in principle, its word culture means a lot, because here we are dealing with a tradition, which stems from a of heritage of a community, which has witnessed the performances of an advanced culture since its antiquity. Hence the tradition of a culture of human development, a subjectivity or human broader society, belonging to a community or certain individual who has created fame with his performance. Therefore there is great importance to communication via cultivate rapprochement and cooperation affirmation inter-personal, cultural, that will no doubt realize good working relationship and advanced interest between them, anyhow will be fruitful and mutually beneficial. Here you can also take a sample, through a certain culture of a community, which fully shows interest in an enviable quality and performance guaranteed, when there will also approach other communities, so it will create relationships strong and reliably and pluralistic, separating them: social, political, economic, scientific, religious and other, but also in the areas of life between two or more individuals or between two or more communities.

The purpose of our work consists in determining the content of total solid in the river Erzen. A well-mixed sample filtered through a weighed standard glass- fiber filter had the residue retained on the filter dried to a constant weight at 103 to 105oC. The increase in weight of the filter represented the total suspended solids. The residue dried for at least 1 h at 103 to 105 oC in an oven, cooled in desiccators to balance temperature, and weighed. We repeated the cycle of drying, cooling, desiccating, and weighing until we obtained a constant weight or until the weight change was less than 4% of the previous weight or 0.5 mg, whichever was less. We analyzed at least 10% of all samples in duplicate. The department of chemistry at FIMIF used the results from the project to determine the physic chemical parameters Erzen River.

To-date cash payment is the most used method in Albania for purchasing goods and services, helping informal economy, increasing transactions costs and risks due to cash transactions anonymity. One of the cash substitutes is electronic money that is allocated in bank accounts, credit cards, mobile wallets, bit coins and in many other forms. Transactions cost decreases when credit cards are used to purchase in retail by reducing time of the transaction and also increases the precision of the transactions due to automatization. Mobile technology is advancing and mobile phones can be unlocked using biometric identification, considering this specific feature of these devices we can consider the mobile wallet one of the safest wallets in use that is associated to a single individual and is very hard to be broken or stolen through biometric identification. Mobile is also the most used communication tool among humans, and it is very attractive due to some features like cameras, GPRS and APPs that make the smartphone the tool that everyone has in his/her pocket and uses it actively during day and night. By taking this in consideration, the mobile phone will be a successful tool for performing electronic payments, e-commerce and it will turn in the electronic wallet that we can use anywhere, anytime

Faculty of Education at the University "Alexander Xhuvani" in Elbasan, is primarily aimed "teacher education". Pedagogical practice is an important component that affects the professional development of student teachers. Efficiency of teachers is an important variable in the development of a teacher.

Measurements were made at two stages of development Pedagogical Practice. The attitudes of student teachers on the Sense of Efficacy relocating from believe “Some Influence” to “Quite A Bit”. After practice resulting in a higher efficiency not only for each items, but overall the efficacy.

Over the last several decades there has been increasing concern about the global environment and the effect of human perturbations on it. This whole area has become known as global change, involving a wide range of scientific disciplines. Given the increase in concentrations of greenhouse gases that has occurred and is predicted to continue, the change in radioactive heating of the troposphere can be calculated. Models generally predict an increase in tropospheric temperatures. Doubling of CO2 and CH4 concentrations in the mesosphere (50km-80km above sea level) and at the lower boundary of the thermosphere, which extends from approximately 90km upward. Using sophisticated atmospheric general circulation models, they predict that the stratosphere (extending from -15 to 50KM) mesosphere, and thermosphere will show significant cooling.

The present paper focuses on the significance of the humour in the society. Mostly humour is considered as a silent fraction of the society. The present paper highlights the significance of this silent fraction of the society. Present paper emphasis on that how society hasbeen divided though the humour. Humour not only provides a sense of happiness among the people in the particular society but it also labels the multiple segments of the society through unique characteristics in distinctive way. Positive criticism through humour not only provides a plate form to the people to remove their anxieties, but also present a flat way to regulate the behaviour of different segments of the society according to the norms of the particular society.

SNPs have been associated with gastric cancer susceptibility. Thus, we evaluated the influence of SNPs in DNA repair genes APE1 2197(T>G) and MLH1 -93(G>A), as well as in CDH1 at positions -160 (C>A) and -347 (G>GA) in gastric cancer risk. Analyses were performed on 264 GC patients and 391 healthy controls matched by age and sex from two regions in Brazil, Ceará and Pará. In the general analysis, a protective was found for the GGA of the CDH1-347 (G>GA). Considering the GC subtypes, the polymorphic allele of both CDH1 SNPs was associated with protection to intestinal subtype. In this subtype, the MLH1 (G>A) allele A was associated with risk, contrast with protection to diffuse subtype. In females, a risk was associated with AA genotype of MLH1 (G>A) and a protection with APE1 (T>G) and CDH1 -347 (G>GA) polymorphic alleles.

One of the major competences which affects the business ecisions is the one coming of the personal and artificial intelligence. The research of the decisions, the intelligence affections and the motivation in the management of a firm are topics that are minority or never treated in Kosova and around it. The motivation mainly causes certain behaviors. Those behaviors, taking into account the psychological aspects, vary in forms such as emotions, instincts, affections, etc. There are frequent cases when people do not even know why they do something, or whether they are aware of that, they are not able to express their motivations.

Sisterhood, which is defined as an intimate and nurturing asexual relationship between women, is an emerging motif in the fiction of contemporary Asian American women writers. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, a Post colonial diasporic writer of Indian origin also forms a part of this literary tradition as she herself confirms in an essay, “. . . I find myself focusing my writing on friendships with women, and trying to balance them with the conflicting passions and demands that come to us as daughters and wives, lovers and mothers.” Literary portrayals of female friendship show that friendship that extends to solidarity goes a long way in providing healing, security and empowerment to women. In fact sisterhood as a feminist strategy of going beyond patriarchy has already been widely explored in AfroAmerican women’s writing.

In this paper the author will assess and analyze the proportionality principle in EU law from a legal perspective of the Treaties of the EU and in particular from the perspective of the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (the Court) with the aim of discovering the role of the Court on the interpretation and determination of this principle.

The economy of one country is dependent on the skills and the abilities of its workers and employees respectively. Vocational training is an education that prepares people for specific vocations, career professions. In this context, many of the countries of the European Union have considered the vocational education as an important step for economic and professional development of their countries. The population of these countries is educated in this aspect based on the requests of the global market that had directly influenced in generating new working places, as well as the evident decrease of unemployment, increase of the economic productivity, apparent improvement of the quality of education at national levels and in the countrys financial stability.

Improving the serve speed is most important for competitive tennis players. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of body kinematics on ball velocity, thereby to propose possible suggestions to improve serving skill. Body kinematics of four Indian international players, who participated in Davis cup held at Indore, India having mean age (years), height (cm) and weight (kg) of 27.00±4.97, 186.50±6.03 and 81.25±7.41, respectively were investigated. The tennis serve was divided into three phases: (I) preparatory phase, (II) force-generation phase, and (III) follow-through phase. The recorded data of service motion was analyzed using appropriate motion analysis software and statistical analysis was done by using SPSSv 17. The mean, standard deviation (SD) and correlation coefficient (r) were determined to find out any relationship between the selected kinematic variables and ball velocity. It was shown that, during phase I, wrist angular velocity (r= 0.50), during phase II, wrist velocity (r= 0.52), shoulder velocity (r= 0.45), elbow angular velocity (r= 0.43), elbow angular acceleration (r= 0.45) and during phase III, racket velocity at impact (r= 0.53), elbow angular acceleration (r= 0.44) were significantly correlated with ball velocity. Players therefore should concentrate on increasing the extension velocities of these identified joints during training.

The paper fixates on design as an expression of emotion, since it is a mirror of regional identification and cultural activities. Through design we express our imagination, intuition and feelings to the audience and spectators. The design of an artist is to explicate his experiences in captivating forms, and then relish an illimitable and unexplainable congeniality. In this paper we additionally describe the different design techniques. Design is the key element to sell a carpet. People love different design & present market scenario of carpet according to their age and taste. One has to understand the market trends and people’s choice for successful design of a carpet. A flow chart of development of a design is in this paper. The development and discussed use of different motifs are also reported. Finally a classification of design is also described.

The topic of social justice in Hong Kong housing policy study is a vital one both academically and in practice, given the severe housing affordability problem in Hong Kong. Nevertheless, the topic is acutely under-researched while the underlying concept of social justice itself is also a complex topic. This paper examines the concept of social justice and identifies five social justice concepts from the literature as useful analytical tools. They are employed to study the Facebook-based questionnaire survey on social justice perceptions in Hong Kong housing policy. Via such an exercise, the value of examining Hong Kong housing policy via the social justice lenses is established. The survey findings also contribute to social justice research on Hong Kong housing policy, which is in need of much more research efforts.

The topic of classification of information systems is foundational in the subject of information systems. For a long time, the Anthony’s Triangle has been a popular framework for such classification purpose. While acknowledging its value in this regard, the Anthony’s Triangle has some theoretical shortcomings. Nevertheless, these shortcomings are not much discussed in the Information Systems literature. This paper offers a review on the nature and the limitations of the Anthony’s Triangle; it then considers three other models, namely the corporate information factory model, the e-Business Application Architecture and the Information Technology (IT) Portfolio model, that have relevance for classifying information systems in an organized way. The review exercise offers some academic and pedagogical value to the subject of information systems.

Facebook is todays most famous social networking site obtaining over a billion users around the globe. Because of the enormous exchange of social information, Facebook became a window to the world that enabled its users to compare their selves to other people. Hence, this might lead to envy that may affect its user’s selfesteem. To find out the relevance of the claim, the researchers aimed to explore the Facebook envy of the Filipino youth and test if it has a relationship on the level of their self-esteem. Different factors such as scopes of envy, types of envy, social comparison, and Facebook exposure, were considered in determining the relationship of Facebook envy and self-esteem. The study used quantitative research approach, specifically descriptive, and correlation method, in order to analyze the gathered data. A self-administered survey was distributed to 396 randomly selected respondents who were college students of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. General findings revealed that the respondents experience Benign Facebook envy rather than Malicious. In this study, seven scopes of Facebook envy were presented. Results showed that only two out of these scopes, namely Travel and Leisure and Social Interaction have appeared to have a significant relationship to the level of self-esteem of the respondents.

Stress and its management have attracted a lot of attention of late, as it is a malady, which appears to affect nearly every person at one time or the other. This trend is more visible in the workplace, which makes if of special interest to the behavioural scientist who is interested in, the dynamics of employs interaction and its consequences. Employees being individual in their own right and highly different from each other as well are assumed to be influenced by various personnel and organizational factors that cause stress and burnout. Understanding these influences is absolutely vital for the organizations, as employees constitute its real sustainable advantage and a great effect and cost is involved in their development. The present research is an attempt to understand the relationship between the individual employees’ Propensity to withstand pressure and the organizational the relationship between the individual employee’s propensities to withstand pressure and the organizational environment. It is purely exploratory in nature and stems from a desire to know more about the ‘stress outbreak’ which is slowly but steadily threatening to overwhelm a greater part of our working. inhabitants.

With the reforms in insurance sector competition has intensified in this sector. There are twenty four life insurance players operational in India which comprises of twenty three private insurers and a lone public sector insurer in the name of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) which still holds the majority of market share. Service quality has become an indispensible construct for the triumph and survival in this era of globalized competition. Taking, this into cognizance the present article aims to investigate the prevailing service quality, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty levels in one of the prominent private life insurance company, PNB MetLife India Insurance Company Limited in Srinagar district of Jammu and Kashmir (India). A life insurance specific modified SERVQUAL instrument adopted from prior studies has been employed in the study. For the purpose, responses have been collected from 188 policy holders of the company under study. Data has been analyzed by performing Cronbach’s alpha, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and one way ANNOVA in SPSS. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a service quality deficiency i.e.

This study is conducted to find that how can achieve the high satisfactory level of the customers on banking sector of Pakistan (Sargodha, Mianwali). In this study four variables are used in which one dependent and three independent. Dependent variable is customer satisfaction while independent variables are service quality, technology and behavior attitude. The data was collected through questionnaire. SPSS 21 is used for data analysis. The results show that there is a positive relationship between service quality, technology, and behavior attitude and customer satisfaction.

The Albanian language is undergoing a great development, which serves as an imediate and productive response to versatile developments such as social, economical, political, psychological, scientific etc. This development is evident in all the subsystems, but the characteristics that accompany it, characteristics which enrich this development, are present more than anywhere else in the lexical system. However, within this system terminology is disentangled. It is an indisputable fact that the spiritual world of the Albanians as well as the material world during the 20 last years is enriched immensely.

Transportation is important in a system, because without transportation the nexus between one place to another place is not materialized well. Interaction among regions is reflected in the transportation infrastructure facilities condition as well as the flow of people, goods, and services. Transport frastructure is a measure of the spatial interaction among regions and has a very important role in supporting the process of a regional infrastructure development. Transportation infrastructure development can improve the accessibility of Deli Serdang region, thereby improving the economy of Deli Serdang, which consequently will increase the welfare of the community; therefore the accessibility planning is essential. For this purpose, there are three questions posed in this study

The aim of this research is two-fold: (a) to identify the causal relationship of the leader’s CSEs on the followers’ OC, and (b) to develop a theory that will predict the followers’ OC endogenous latent construct by maximizing the constructs of the leader’s CSEs, transformational leadership [TFL], and ethical leadership [EL] using partial least squares approach to structural equation modeling [PLSSEM]. Data were collected from 11 higher educational institutions [HEIs]. With 883 and 88 valid responses, thus, achieving a response rate of 57.05% from the followers and the leaders, respectively, a model of leadership effectiveness among HEIs through OC was established grounded on PLS-SEM. This model emanated from the leader specific traits in the context of CSEs and the trickle-down effect of leadership effectiveness through the followers’ response in the context of OC.

This article is related with paradigm shift of Indian higher education system last few years. Autonomy was an important issue in higher education since independence in India but now it is shifting to another level. In the present time autonomy significantly relates with the matter of accountability. The present article is just an effort to understand autonomy in the relation of accountability and the importance of autonomy in higher education in present scenario. The issues of academic freedom and university autonomy have re-emerged on the agenda in the last few years First of all, there is the spiraling increase in the number of students since the end of the Second World War with, as its corollary, the explosion in most countries whatever their political or social system of the number of higher education institutions, a phenomenon that has gained momentum over the years. Although the state retains control of higher education a wide range of accountability mechanisms (such as performance contracts and the introduction of a system for assessments of research production), it is evident that universities have gained more institutional autonomy. The apparent shift from individual to institutional autonomy provides more flexibility for universities to set strategic objectives. At the same time, universities ecome more open to societal demands.

The situation that existed in Europe at the end of the Second World War can be estimated by contrasting the achievements of the later two decades. The first of these decades is the one—the years 1939- 48. The other is chosen more arbitrarily, but it too includes world warI, the years 1914-18. In the earlier decade art was everywhere in a ferment. In France the post-impressionist movement was developing the more explicit phases known as Fauvism and Cubism. In Italy there was the Futurism of Marinetti and Severini, and the Metaphysical school of Chirico and Carra. Dadaism was born in Zurich and was evolved into Surrealism in France and Germany. In Germany and Scan- dinavia the Expressionist school came into existence; in Russia Malevich, Gabo, Pevsner and Tatlin launched the suprematist movement, to develop after the Revolution into Constructivism; in Holland Moridrian and Van Doesburg were establishing the inovement known as Neo-plasticism; even England had a new movement—the Vorticism of Wyndham Lewis. Let us ask rather what survives from the couple of agitated decades.

Morbidity and mortality rate is high in ICU patients. Various scoring system is used like APACHE-II, SAPS-II, SOFA score to predict outcome of ICU patients and helps physicians for patient admission and management. APACHE-II score are used in our country. APACHE-II, SAPS-II, SOFA score contain multiple variable, which are expensive, time consuming, where as RDW is cheaper, rapidly and easily test. The study was cross sectional conducted to assess the RDW as a marker for severity of disease among critically ill patients in ICU. Study population was 60 patients selected from intensive care according to inclusion criteria. Suspected case of ICU and adult age group were included in the study. After taking informed written consent from patient’s attendant blood sample were obtained with all aseptic precaution from all patients and processed in hematology auto analyzer (cell counter). Among the more severely ill patients half were >60 years age group (50.0%). On the other hand among the less severely ill patients majority were 31 to 60 years age group (65.6%). RDW ranged from 14.70 to 23.00 and the mean APACHE-II score was ranged from 15.0 to 32.0. The higher tertile of RDW were observed in older critical ill patients in ICU. The primary finding of this study showed that increasing RDW levels can serve as a marker to assess the severity of ICU patients. This association remained significant even after adjustment for APACHE-II score. RDW is less expensive and common measurement found on the complete blood count. The RDW fared better than APACHE II for morbidity or mortality prediction of ICU patients. RDW is widely available test, no additional cost and found in routinely performed with complete blood cell count and is highly reproducible, RDW has the potentially clinical utility to predict outcome for ICU patients.

Current methods of feather waste disposal include land filling, incineration or conversion to feather meal by steam pressure cooking. These methods require high-energy input and/or cause problems in storage, handling, emissions control and ash disposal. Discarded feather also causes various human ailments including chlorosis, mycoplasmosis and fowl cholera. Biodegradation of feathers using keratinolytic microorganisms represents an efficient alternative way to manage feather waste that could be coupled with production of valuable products such as protein hydrolysates and proteolytic enzymes. A new feather degrading bacterium was isolated from a local feather waste dumping site and identified as Acinetobacter sp. PD 12 based on 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis. Aerobic cultivation of the isolate in minimal medium containing feathers at 320C for 6 days resulted in 70 % degradation of intact feathers. Scanning electron microscopy studies showed degradation of feathers by keratinase.

Set in the Sundarban, the vast, intermittently submerged archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage, “am inconsequential piece of land in the political or economic calculus of the nation state of India” (2009: 55), Amitav Ghosh?s magnum opus The Hungry Tide (2004), a Bengali work of fiction in terms of ethos, temperament and the telling of the story according to the Bengali novelist Sunil Gangopadhyay, addresses the aftermath of the 1947 partition in Bengal and looks at the suppressed history of the desperately poor and wretched refugees of Morichjhapi who were butchered and battered on the threshold of their undone years by the fascist C.P.I.M. Government of West Bengal in 1979 that it led to, thus highlighting one of the most vexed and long- standing unresolved issues of the complex post-Independence subcontinental politics.

Mongla port is situated in the south western hydrological zone of Bangladesh at the confluence of Pussur River and Mongla Nullah approximately 132km u/s of the Bay of Bengal and 45 km south of Khulna city. This is the second sea-port of the country which faces problem of navigable depth. The study finds out the present navigational depth scarcity from sea mouth to port jetty due to siltation of the River Pussur, Mongla and Sibsa River System by using HECRAS-4.0 mathematical model. Sensitivity by a method of river width contraction is to see the erosion deposition pattern in the channel and response of the system hence then analyzed.

The level of aggression was assessed in both pre test and post test conditions. Findings suggest that young adolescents showed a higher level of aggression when exposed to television crime serials. And male expressed higher aggression in comparison to female. Future implications were highlighted.

Food grade nanoemulsions encapsulating lipophilic components such as essential oils have potential for utilization in beverage and food industries to improve the health benefits of food products. Eugenol (EU) nanoemulsions were prepared with variable proportion of EU to canola oil (CA), emulsified and stabilized with purity gum ultra (PGU), a newly developed succinylated waxy starch. The nanoemulsion showed decrease in droplet size with increasing EU concentration in the EU:CA mixture. However, prepared nanoemulsions (1:9 –5:5 % EU-CA) showed negligible change after one month storage. The nanoemulsion droplets showed round shape as visualized by using Scanning electron microscope (SEM). On the other hand, all prepared nanoemulsion showed shear thinning behaviour after one month storage. These results suggest the formation of stable and small droplet size EU loaded nanoemulsions using modified starch as emulsifier. The current study favours the small sized food grade nanoemulsion in different food systems because of their shear thinning ehaviour.

Data compression is important in storage and transmission of information. Various compression techniques have been proposed in recent years to achieve good compression. In this paper mainly discuss a well known Image compression technique based on Block Truncation Coding (BTC), where less computational complexity. By using this technique we are performing compression of gray scale/monochrome image data. It is one-bit adaptive moment-preserving quantizer that preserves certain statistical moments of small blocks of the input image in the quantized output.

This study endeavours to understand the volatility of the exchange rate in Albania and to see if there are sign of “fear of floating” present. De jure Albania currently applies a flexible exchange rate regime. Traditionally the main argument in favour of this policy is that monetary policy is not constrained by the predetermined level of the exchange rate. Thus, onetary policy sets interest rates in order to achieve domestic equilibrium (ie. price stability) while the nominal exchange rate adjusts to balance the external accounts. Theoretical evidence concerning the impact of exchange rate stability on growth is mixed. The theoretical arguments in favour of flexible exchange rates are mainly of macroeconomic nature, as flexible exchange rates allow for an easier adjustment in response to asymmetric country specific real shocks. From a icroeconomic perspective low exchange rate volatility can be associated with lower transaction costs for international trade and capital flows thereby contributing to higher growth.

In rural areas where land, water and financial resources are scarce, livelihood diversification is the key strategy through which farmers try to sustain and improve their well being and gradually farming becomes less important. In this context this study is designed to explore the livelihood diversification and different livelihood strategies perused by small farmers in Kaghan Valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used for the purpose of data collection. Results show that in past years people were dependent on the farming to sustain their livelihood but with the change of time and significantly by climatic variability their livelihood pattern were shifted from farming to labor. Unskilled wage labor is the major cash riented livelihood activity of the households, while remittances and farming is the secondary and tertiary source of income. It is recommended that state machinery have to make investment in the area, strengthen the local institutions to enhance their efficiency in their work to create more livelihood options.

The main hypothesis is whether the recession that followed the financial crisis of 2008 has led to a paradigm shift, by which we mean a substantial shift to the way people think about the economy and the role of the state in Eastern Europe and Albania in particular. This paper uses orderlogit regression to measure 27000 respondents likelihood to accept a greater role for the government intervention in reducing inequality. We find that in line with social mobility theory people are less likely to accept greater government intervention if they believe that they will be able to climb the social ladder in the future. We find that the neoliberalism was under threat prior to the crisis and the latter has not led to a paradigm shift and to an alternative view of the economy.

Green revolution is credited to have brought large scale socioeconomic changes with implications on political and cultural aspects of rural India. Reflecting on the impact of green revolution in the past five decades, social science discourse highlights the agricultural knowledge dissonance, capitalistic transformation of agriculture and social relations. However, shadowed in the overwhelming agrarian discourse is the continuity of community knowledge in the cultivation of certain crops. The present paper, problematizing continuity observes that conventional knowledge that evolved indigenously is preferred by farmers in certain practices of agriculture than adopting scientific knowledge. The paper, presenting the case of turmeric crop cultivation in a particular geographical and socio-economic context, argues that agency tries to retain the knowledge that withstood the test of times. Based on the empirical findings the paper observes that the wider socio-cultural and historical context provides a cognitive frame which helps them, analyzing the risks associated with scientific knowledge and market oriented crop cultivation.

The present study was performed to understand the marketing channel, present status, Species available, hygiene condition and associated risk, and the future prospect of the market in importing and exporting dry fish from different parts of West Bengal to different parts of India. The market was surveyed from January 2014 to December 2014 in four seasons each of three months. Survey question schedule was made for the collection of primary data. Several species of coastal, marine and freshwater dried fishes were commonly available in the market. The dry fish trading system depends on several stakeholders like fish processor, Beparis, Aratdars, Wholesalers and Retailers. The survey reveals that the trade is till now seasonal and activity remains maximum in winter as the supply of fish to market is high in quantity and quality. Dry fish trade is a good source of employment generation for both men and women. Poor infrastructure in fish drying, poor road and transport facilities, lack of credit facilities, lesser Govt. interest appears as barrier for the long term sustainability of the system.

NOIDA which is a part of national capital region of India located near to Delhi frequented with heavy traffic jams due to ever increasing vehicle population. In order to sort out the traffic problems in the city, NOIDA authority are building-up new flyovers, bridges and underpasses at various locations of the city. As a well-developed transportation network is vital to the economic development of the area. High quality road network increases the potential of any economic system by helping both consumer and producer. Traffic congestions are major bottleneck of smooth functioning of a city transportation network. With increase in vehicle population commuters spends more time in traffic jam and loses precious time which could have been utilised in productive activities otherwise. It also causes wasteful fuel expenditure which directly affects the country’s exchequer. Thus creation of new road infrastructures as well as periodic maintenance of the existing one has long term economic benefits.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet is undoubtedly the most popular and the most discussed works of art in the world literature. It is undoubtedly one of the most influential tragedies in English literature for the reason that it offers something fresh and new to the reader in every reading of the text. The play has been challenging scholars across the world for the sheer number of problems that the play brings forth. The beauty of the play lies in the craftsmanship with which Shakespeare has imbued problems in character of Hamlet: his proverbial procrastination and perplexing dynamics of Hamlet-Ophelia relationship. The present paper critically examines the love between Hamlet and Ophelia. The paper primarily focuses on love between Hamlet and Ophelia with reference to Ophelia’s situation and Hamlet’s state of mind. Finally, the paper tries to pass a value judgment by substantiating it with critical opinion of the removed critics on Shakespeare like A.C. Bradley, Wilson Knight, Edward Dowden, Dover J. Wilson and Kenneth Muir among others.

AIDS was first recognized in 1981 in the USA among homosexuals. Since then HIV/AIDS has emerged as the challenge to Health care personnel’s, public health, human rights and in the development in the new era free of HIV/AIDS. There is still a lot of social stigma attached with it. As a responsible individual of society every one of us must understand and think HIV/AIDS prevention as a part of our collective social responsibility (CSR). Most of the literatures on KAP on HIV/AIDS are replete with studies on children, school/ college students, general population, but the authors are yet to come across a study from Engineers and Managers working in the corporate sectors. This study gives more emphasis in an attempt to understand the KAP among working professionals of Engineers and Managers.

Background: von Willebrand disease is a bleeding disorder that is caused by deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor. People with blood group O have plasma von Willebrand factor antigen level 25 to 30 lower than do non-O individuals. von Willebrand disease comprises a heterogeneous group of patients in whom the clinical diagnosis is often difficult because of a considerable intraindividual phenotypic variation and limited laboratory data, bleeding and family history. We are going to determine the blood group, bleeding history, the family history and the laboratory parameters supporting the diagnosis, to determine the criteria used to register a patient as affected with von Willebrand disease and to evaluate which particular diagnostic criteria are most relevant to clinical practice in Sudan.

Oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (Diptera: Terphritidae) is a voracious pest and a reason of economic loss to different fruits and vegetables (Clausen, Clancy, and Chock 1965). It is a major threat to fruit and vegetable industry of the Pakistan. This experiment was performed to evaluate the preferable food source and host for oviposition. Different fruits e.g Banana (Musa sapientum), citrus(Citrus reticulata), apple (Pyrus malus), guava (Psidium guajava), ber (Zizyphus Jujuba) musk mellon (Cucumis melo) and vegetables including Bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), Brinjal (Solanum melongena), round gourd (Praecitrullus fistulosus) and chilies (Capsicum annuum) were evaluated. Resulted showed that banana was most favorite food having average adult recovery (15.3) under free choice, while in other experiment guava was most preferred host for egg laying with average pupal recovery of 103.25± 2.56 in free choice of fruits. In the case of vegetables, round gourd got maximum attraction for oviposition among other vegetables with 49.75± 3.79 pupal recovery.

An experiment was carried out in Njinikom (North West of Cameroon), during the second maize planting season of 2005 and the first planting season of 2006; to investigate the effects of combining NPK 20:10:10 with urea in a maize cycle, on Busseola fusca (Fuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) attacks on maize and on maize growth and yield parameters. The experimental design used was randomized complete block with four replications. There were four treatments i.e. 1without fertilizer (control); 2 that received NPK 20:10:10 only at a rate of 200 kg/ha; 3 that received urea only at a rate of 40 kg/ha; and 4 that received a combination of NPK 20:10:10 at 200 kg/ha and urea at 40 kg/ha. There were significant difference between treatments for B fusca numbers and stem bored; treatment that received a combination of NPK and urea had the highest number of B fusca and highest level of stem bored. In both maize planting seasons, basal stem diameter, total plant height and cob width were significantly more for plots that received both NPK and urea. These plots with both NPK and urea applied had the tallest plant and the widest cobs, followed by the plots that received urea only. It is concluded that combining NPK 20:10:10 and urea increases B fusca incidence on maize. However since there was an increased in plant vigor (increased stem diameter and total plant height) the end effect was increased in yield parameters.

Many Indian states have in the last few decades introduced English from the first standard. The present paper has justified this decision on various grounds. It caters to the demands of the parents and the society at large. It has many academic advantages because English has attained the status of the world language. Advances in research in science and technology, law and pharmacy, engineering and medicine are available in English alone. It is a linguistically sound proposition. It is a necessary impetus to design the language curriculum. It motivates the teaching training and teaching learning process promptly through the teaching of the four basic language skills. The production of teaching methods and the evaluation techniques will stand revolutionized if English is introduced from the first standard.
