This paper investigates the concepts of Identity and estrangement in the postcolonial novel entitled The Mimic Men by V.S. Naipaul. In Naipaul’s The Mimic Men, Ralph Singh has showed different aspects that reflects his nature of a “prototypical colonial character” who is quite commonly estranged with the biased and pluralistic society he has inhaled most of his breaths in it. For Ralph, identity is a core issue that is depicted by his mimicry of European or Western views on different aspects of life. Also, Ralph’s self identification is in strong conflict with that of the Western world. For following the footsteps of colonialists, he has abandoned his home, family and even his self-identity only for the sake of mimicking the West. He has married an Englishwoman and has gone through formal education in the West. The alienation of his identity has resulted in the scattering of his personal being thereby leading towards vulnerability and corruption of his inner self.

The involvement of parents in education within the past decade has been found to positively influence students’ performance. However, the relationships among variables involved are not well understood yet. This present study was conducted out to find the correlation between the extent of parents’ involvement in their children’s education and their level of satisfaction with students’ proficiency in English as a second language. Data were gathered with questionnaires. This study showed that when parents of ESL students are ‘often involved’ in their children’s education, they are likely to be ‘moderately satisfied’ with their children’s proficiency in English as a second language. For schools teaching ESL to improve students’ proficiency in English, one way to accomplish that is to ensure that parents are at least moderately involved in their children’s education.

Background/Aims: Iloprost is a synthetic analogue of epoprostenol which is synthesized by endotelial cells from arachidonic acid. We aimed to evaluate presumed hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of iloprost in experimentally created obstructive jaundice in rats.

Materials and Methods: Thirty-two adult male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham group (S) (n=8); after sham operation, iloprost administered (SI) group (n = 8); obstructive jaundice (OJ) group (n=8); iloprost administered and obstructive jaundice group (OJI) (n=8). The rats were sacrified ten days after the induction of obstructive jaundice. Blood levels of isoprostane, protein carbonyl, lipid hydroperoxide and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) were measured.

Results: Levels of the oxidative stress products including protein carbonyl [mean, (40.46 versus 24.7 nmol/ml, p=0.005)], lipid hydroperoxide [mean, (5.11 versus 1.85 Mmol/ml,p=0.001)] and 8-OHdG[mean, (1.53 versus 1.13 ng/ml, p=0.03)] in the OJI group were significantly lower than the OJ group.

Conclusion: Iloprost supports antioxidant activity in obstructive jaundice without causing further liver damage in rats.

Inefficiency’ is considered as a buzz word with regard to the administration system of government organisations (ASGO) in Sri Lanka.  Within a context of increasing annual budgetary allocation in each year, the universities are equipped with modern facilities such as information technology and continuously doing researches in different levels, conduct workshops to train employees and continuously recruit educated people. As like as the other government sectors, government universities experience inefficiency in different levels and different volumes. The inefficiency of ASGO in Sri Lanka would negatively impact on the brand identity of each organization and this study aimed to develop an efficient leave management process (LMP) for the government-university system in Sri Lanka. The key objective of the study was to propose a process map with lesser lead time instead of existing LMP of the university. The specific objectives were to recognize the existing LMP, to measure the lead time of the existing LMP, to understand the existing rules and procedures belong to leave management process and to measure the lead time of the proposed leave management process. Sample data were collected from the existing leave management process of the university in the last three years and simple statistical tools such as mean values and percentage values were associated in the analyzing process of the study. The results showed that there was a waste due to unnecessary processes and practices in the existing process and therefore it leads to inefficiency. The proposed Value Stream Map (VSM) shows lesser lead time to improve the efficiency of the LMP and then the efficiency in ASGO.

The results showed that more female police officers experienced more stress than men which spill into their work due to the multiple roles they play as wives, mothers, care givers, family career as well as employees.  The results are discussed in terms of marital status, level of education, tenure of service and numbers of hours worked per day on how they influence organizational commitment among the police officers in Nakuru County, Kenya

The study investigates the architectural space and its definition and the stages of development of the architectural space according to the previous civilizations up to our current era and then defining the internal space and its determinants. A historical study of the space and its value as well as the elements of the internal architecture all, were discussed in this study. The construction, the constructional structure its characteristics were defined and the constituents of the building as well. In addition, identifying the types of buildings in terms of from their functional and constructional aspects, and then identifying the constructional materials used in the constructional skeleton and their impact on the constructional skeleton in the design from several aspects until reaching the internal space and the factors affecting it. The research problem and the research objectives were defined, which is coming to design solutions and interrelated constructions as well as designing the buildings in a manner that respects the environment, taking into consideration the financial cost of the building, while minimizing the effects of construction, all of which on the internal space. The most important findings of the study are that the elements of the interior space are all interconnected and cannot be separated from each other; this is in order to reach the appropriate visual formation of the space. The elements of the internal space of the building should be evaluated by specialists in this field, is a first step before studying the selection of the most appropriate constructional skeletons of the building, before preparing the new engineering drawings, and choosing the most proper ways to protect the constructional elements during the processing of internal space processing to ensure that the cost will not increase.

Background: Wheat flour fortification is a preventive food-based approach aimed at reducing vitamin and mineral deficiencies or insufficiencies and their consequences. Fortification of industrially processed wheat flour, when appropriately implemented, is a simple, inexpensive and effective strategy for supplying vitamins and minerals to large segments of the world’s population.

Objectives:

The main objective of the study was to assess the current state of wheat flour fortification in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, identify common challenges and lessons learned from country experiences, outline the latest guidance on best practices, and make recommendations to advance appropriate wheat flour fortification in the Region.

Methods:

A questionnaire was designed to assess progress on the implementation of flour fortification in the Eastern Mediterranean Region according to key indicators. The questionnaire was circulated to the nutrition focal points within the Ministry of Health (MOH) in all countries of the Region. The data were extracted, analyzed and discussed in a regional Workshop organized by WHO in 2017.  Data were verified or gaps were filled through other potential resources, such as MOH websites, WHO, World Bank, the Food Fortification Initiative and CDC.

Results:

The study shows that flour fortification has been widely used in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Most countries (17 of 22 in the Region) have some coverage of wheat flour fortified with iron and folic acid, and this is mandatory in 11 countries. Eight countries fortify flour with B-vitamins. Fortification with vitamin D, vitamin A and zinc is currently rare (two countries in each case). Quality control and monitoring of wheat flour is still a big challenge in all countries.

Conclusion and recommendations:

Considerable progress has been made in tackling micronutrient deficiencies, and wheat flour fortification has contributed to this. However, given that micronutrient deficiencies persist in the Region further progress is needed. Furthermore, countries need to review their policies and practices to ensure that they are in line with WHO guidance on best practice and that wheat flour fortification is being appropriately implemented.

The phenomenon of terrorism is the most important challenge facing successive Iraqi governments after the events of 2003, the impact of the problem has increased due focus of the media in various aspects of the problem  as it has become a threat to all humanity, the Intellectual extremism and religious extremism are among the most important sources of violence and terrorism, so the intellectual terrorism is being exploited by militant groups which committed the worst crimes by its name and turned from small groups into militias possessing heavy and sophisticated weapons.
