This paper investigates the linear stability of two superposed Maxwell viscoelastic fluid layers in the presence of a uniform horizontal magnetic field. A normal-mode analysis is applied to the governing MHD equations to derive the dispersion relation for interfacial disturbances. The results show that the viscosity and permeability of porous medium both have destabilizing influence on the growth rate of unstable mode of disturbance.

Trichobezoar is a rare intriguing disorder in which swallowed hair accumulate in the stomach. Trichobezoar occur most frequently in younger female patients with psychiatric disorders (Trichotillomania and trichophagia). We report a case of gastric trichobezoar in 22 year old female patient, who presented with the complaints of pain in abdomen, loss of appetite and lump in abdomen. Patient was having some cachectic look and without any history of psychiatric disorder and previous gastric surgery. She was investigated with ultrasonography, Barium meal study followed by Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which confirmed the diagnosis of trichobezoar. She underwent gastrotomy, trichobezoar was removed and she recovered well. Patient was advised to consult in psychiatry but we lost the patient as she did not return in follow up.

W.H Auden belongs to Key 1930s and Philip Larkin belongs to The Movement. Even though they belong to different genres of poetry, they have some similarities and differences. In the early age, Philip Larkin was influenced by W.H Auden. Through W.H Auden’s poem, Larkin sought his own voice. Therefore this paper makes a comparison between W.H Auden and Philip Larkin. From this paper we will have a clear understanding on their differences as well as similarities. According to the comparison, it will help us understand the two poets more clearly.

India, near to fertility transition, received a large demographic dividend which has already started. At present more than 64% „economically active‟ people live in India, popularly known as „demographic dividend‟. In near future „window of opportunity‟ will convert to „burden‟ due to increasing percentage share of elderly population in demographic architecture. India will enjoy the demographic dividend for next twenty five to thirty years. So augmentation of job in industrial economy and skill development programme should be prime focus. In this regard “Coordinated Action on Skill Development” with three-tier institutional structure is an important Governmental initiative since eleventh five year plan. Unfortunately the scheme failed to fulfill its training target each and every year and the people are less interested because after completion of successful training employment is not guaranteed. Above all the industrial growth is the key of succession. Government should review industrial policy and emphasized on manufacturing industries. Small and medium scale industries should encourage in small urban centers and in country side. Otherwise 64 percent economically active population will not be considered as dividend.

This work explores the nature and origins of Haitian epistemology, the lens through which Haitians consciously and unconsciously come to know, interpret, and make sense of the known and unknown world around them, and its aesthetics. The article posits that Haitian epistemology, Haitian/Vilokan Idealism, is a transcendental idealist and realist philosophy/epistemology that developed out of the demystification and ever-increasing rationalization of the African (spiritual) worldview (Vilokan/Vodou) of the majority of the inhabitants of the island, and its aesthetics is grounded in the distinction between the noumenal world of Vilokan and the phenomenal one of lived-experience and their dialectical interaction.

Plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPM) are the rhizosphere bacteria and Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal spores (VAM) that enhance plant growth and suppress plant diseases.The current study was carried out at Ahmed Orabi Agricultural Cooperative Association, Ismailia, Egypt, to investigate the efficient antagonistic bacterial isolates and VAM against Fusarium wilt disease in pepper plant under filed experiment. A total of 49 bacterial isolates were isolated, out of which 4 (P1, P11, P19 and P42) were selected based on their antagonism of phytopathogens. Phylogenetic analysis of 16SrRNA sequences identified these isolates as new strains of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus aerius, Achromobacter xylosoxidans and Lysinibacillus fusiformis. The selected isolates produced high levels siderophore and hydrogen cyanide. Disease symptoms, disease index percent, phytochemicals and Metabolic indicators of resistance in plant as response to induction of systemic resistance (SR) in pepper plants were recorded. VAM and P42 were the best isolates and reduced percent disease indexes by 10 and 15 % respectively. P11, and PGPR (P1, P11, P19, P42) gave the same result 17.5%. and came next P19, (VAM+PGPR) and P1 which recorded 20,22.5and 30 % respectively. The beneficial effects of the used elicitors were extended to increase not only total phenol, total soluble protein content but also the activities of peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase enzymes in comparison with control. At the same time, the results appeared that pepper infected plants treated with applied elicitors showed variation in number, molecular weight of protein bands as well as variability in number of polypeptide peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase isozymes in the leaves.

The study assessed the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) competencies possessed by students of Teacher Education Department, Niger Delta University, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. It adopted a descriptive survey design. Six research questions guided the study. Two hundred (200; 82 males and 118 females) teacher education students formed the sample of the study; the sample comprised fifty (50) students from each level. A validated fifty-nine (59) items on a four point Likert scale questionnaire titled Students’ Competencies on Information and Communication Technology (SCICT) was used for data collection. Cronbach Alpha was used to establish the reliability index of the instrument as 0.71. The data collected were analyzed with frequency, simple percentage and mean. It was found that respondents possessed competencies in basic computer knowledge, word processing and electronic communication and fair in spreadsheet, power point and multimedia applications. It was recommended, among others, that students in Teacher Education Department should be given sufficient training on how to use ICT in their academic studies.

Various models have been developed to help firms analyze and evaluate the perfect dividend policy and there is no agreement between these schools of thought over the factors that affect dividend payout. The dividend policy decision is one of the most important decisions in any organization. This study sought to establish the factors that affect dividend payout of listed commercial banks in Kenya. Specifically profitability, liquidity, firm size and past dividend were determined if they affected dividend payout among listed commercial banks in Kenya. The study was based on the Bird in Hand Theory. A correlational research design was used to examine relationship among the variables. The target population for this study consisted of all listed commercial banks in Kenya. Purposive sampling procedure was used to select listed commercial banks for the study. The study employed secondary data which was obtained from the financial statements of the commercial banks for a period of five years ranging from 2012 to 2016.. The study showed that profitability, liquidity, firm size and past DPS accounted for 77.69% of variations in dividend payout for listed commercial banks. All the four factors were found to be significant in affecting dividend payout for the listed commercial banks. Profitability and past dividend per share were found to be positively correlated with dividend payout while liquidity and firm size were found to be negatively correlated with dividend payout. The researcher recommends more research to be done taking into consideration other factors. These include factors such as the commercial banks management, legal environment and competition within the banking industry.

The present analysis gives an idea about the Hall current effect on an unsteady Magneto Hydro Dynamic flow of an incompressible viscous, electrically steering fluid through a vertically symmetric artery but horizontally non-symmetric arterial with a mild stenosis.

Abstract: This article explains the dichotomous phenomenon of rationality with religious belief in man. Both phenomena are represented here by Moses (faith and holiness) and Spinoza (rationalism and pantheism). This very early psychological phenomenon was discussed in anthropological research by Durkheim and Claude Levi Strauss, whose conclusions are consistent with the fact that these two approaches are combined allowing the rational person to contain both opposites. After presenting the background to this phenomenon, Spinoza's pantheistic approach will be discussed. We continue with Moshe's approach to holiness based on Scripture and its interpretation, while comparing the two approaches in a comparative study close to the original texts. The discussion will lead to the limitations of reason and the need for faith to fulfill it. An explanation of this need will be presented in Durkheim and Strauss`s interpretation as a phenomenon incorporated within spirit of man as his desire to exist. The article concludes that this existential aspiration is a metaphysical phenomenon.

Teacher’s instructional materials and Educational Physical facilities are key inputs required to accelerate effective learning. The Government of Kenya sets aside a considerable amount for capital investment, this is through teacher training and remuneration.This study established the teachers’ work load in public primary school for global Competitiveness and also determined the impact of FPE funds on resource improvement in public primary schools.The study was anchored on educational production function theory. Descriptive Survey Design was adopted which utilized the questionnaire, interview schedule and document analysis to gather information from a sample of 920 respondents from 40 schools who took part in the research. The Study used Stratified proportionate sampling, simple random sampling, systematic sampling and purposive sampling procedures to select the sample for the study. Data was analysed descriptively using output from SPSS version 17.0 in terms of; Frequency distribution tables, mean, standard deviation and percentage distribution techniques to establish the variations in independent and dependent variables. The findings of this study established that overcrowded classes, heavy workload, insufficient toilets and inadequate provision of physical facilities hampered the efforts by teachers to provide quality education in Kenya. This study recommends that provision of teacher proficiency courses should be streamlined and accelerated, teacher distribution should be balanced in the district for maximum utilisation of the teacher resource, existing facilities be expanded to gather for the influx of pupils and the teaching/learning resources in schools be utilized to the maximum.

Most public pre-school centres in Kenya have stalled educational programmes marked by irregular and delay of teachers’ salaries, inconsistent feeding programmes, poor physical infrastructure and unclear educational policy guidelines. Therefore it is clear that financial management strategies are crucial for efficiency to be realized in finances in Pre-school centres. This study was guided by the following objectives: To establish existing planning strategies in the financing public pre-school education and to examine alternative planning strategies for financing public pre-school education in Eldoret East Sub-County. This study adopted a descriptive survey design. The study targeted 1 sub-county education officers, 174 Head Teachers, 174 Pre-school teachers and 174 SMC chairpersons in the Eldoret East Sub- County. It used a purposive sampling for the 1 sub-County educational officers and simple random sampling for the 52 Head Teachers, 52 Pre-school teachers, 52 and 52 SMC chairpersons. The researcher used questionnaires and interview. Data was presented using tables and figures. The study findings indicated that there was a significant relationship between planning strategies employed and financing public pre-school education. The study recommends that there is need for Pre-school management committee to plan for resources early enough before spending to curb waste.

Nowadays, in China, English is regarded as a foreign language and college English courses are offered in nearly all the colleges and universities. However, teaching English in colleges inevitably exists some problems. During the teaching process, teachers mainly occupies the dominant position and students are short of communication with teachers and among students themselves, and part of teaching content is out of date and exercises are stereotyped, which lead to the imbalance in foreign language classroom ecology. Therefore, based on the perspective of eco-linguistics, the paper aims to explore strategies in college English teaching in order to build the ecological and harmonious college English classroom.

Abstract: Vitamin E group of vitamins consist of varying proportions of tocotrienols based upon the natural sources. The major health benefits are associated by the tocotrienols while their isomers, tocopherols, exert antioxidant properties. The two subgroups of vitamin E share many distinct biological activities. In vitro and in vivo mice studies suggested that tocotrienols are critical in mediating anticancer, anti-inflammatory, lipid lowering, radio protection and neuro protection functions. Numerous human studies showed the evidence that tocotrienols can be supplemented to reach high concentrations in whole blood but desired pharmacological activity is questionable. Bioavailability and further bio distribution depends upon the food in stomach, health condition of the patient and other metabolizing and excretion parameters. In this current review, we have a discussion about few human studies that were conducted to show the value of tocotrienol supplementation in cancer prevention and treatment.
