Abstract: Development and displacement always go together and is the need of all the societies. However, the concept of development and its various ramifications have attracted attention of different sections of the society for different reasons. Post industrial revolution concept of development was initially restricted to the economic growth of the region in which industries were established and was seen as leading to growth of nation through resultant prosperity. But development at the cost of human welfare raises questions. In recent past, the social workers and people's organization have raised issues related to human suffering in the process of development. Human predicaments and sufferings become severe when as a result of developmental projects.........

Abstract: Dam is defined as a barrier built across a stream, river or estuary to confine and check the flow of water for such uses as human consumption, irrigation, flood control and electric-power generation (Encyclopedia Britannica 1987). The dams in the ancient times were built to control the floods, navigation, drinking and irrigation purposes only. But in the modern times, these are constructed for wider use for development purposes such as to control soil erosion, for generation of electricity, industrial use, aquaculture and tourism and so on.
Objectives: The main objective of the present piece of work is to explain the historical development of dam construction in the world in general and particularly in India after independence

Abstract: The paper empirically investigates whether budget deficit financing Granger Cause private investment in Nigeria, employing annual data covering the period of 1980 to 2014 incorporating ADF and PP for the unit root and Pairwise Granger Causality tests as the means of statistical inference. The result of the ADF and PP revealed that the series are not stationary at the level value and became so after first differencing that is, they are integrated of other one I(1). The result further discloses that, there exists bidirectional causality running from private investment to fiscal deficit, government expenditure and government revenue while same bidirectional causality from exchange rate to private investment and we recommend that financing of deficit since it is unavoidable in most of LDCs economy including Nigeria should be done in such a way that can engage untapped human and natural resources thereby leading to increased productivity and government revenue via corporate taxation.

Abstract: Nigeria has been in recession as statistics show that the GDP has been contracting since the first quarter of 2016. This paper examines the causes of the current recession and finds that dwindling oil revenue is chiefly responsible for the current recession, it further argues that unclear and some counterproductive economic policies by the Buhari administration created panic and exacerbated the situation. The paper utilized secondary data and was anchored on functionalist theory. The paper makes recommendations on how to get out of the recession. For the short-term, it recommends increased government expenditure on infrastructure and the restoration of investor confidence through clear economic policies. In the long term, the paper recommends diversification of the economy, strengthening of institutions, increased transparency and citizen participation in the governance process, and the provision of lasting infrastructure.

Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of both informal and formal contexts of computer-mediated communication (CMC) on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learner's written messages. The study, which adopts an exploratory approach, examines the written exchanges of learners in both contexts and see (a) to what extent spelling and grammatical mistakes are present in each conversation, (b) if the same learner can show different writing protocols based on which one is formal or informal, and finally (c) if there are factors that can help deploy CMC as an efficient tool to reinforce what was learned in the writing classroom. Fifteen students from semester One in the English department at Ibn Tofail University, Kenitra participated in the study via Facebook messenger as an CMC tool..............

Abstract: The literature compiled on Usul al-Fiqh from 2nd to 6th century A.H is indeed a significant landmark for evolution of the Islamic legal theory. The concept of Ijtihad as methodology reveals the comprehensiveness of the Islamic legal system covering the objectives (Maqasid) of the Revelation (Wahy), as well as Welfare (Falah) of the society. The evolution of the Fiqh methodologies including Ijtihad was to address, interpret and explore all such possibilities, where the text (Matan) needed further explanation (Tashrih) for the legislation process. This exertion also facilitated the idea, as how a particular legal deduction is to be applied in its appropriate socio-legal perspective.

Abstract: India is one of the largest democratic countries in the world. India is known for her rich cultural diversity and unity in diversity. Wide range of people from different communities and casts live together in the nation. A few tribes or communities are socially and economically deprived in the nation right from the colonial period for several reasons. Independent Indian governments have been showing their concern for the welfare of the tribal (deprived) communities. Providing reservation, designing special schemes and allocating separate budget are the examples to understand the sincere efforts by the government. Very unfortunate reality is a very few schemes or projects are reaching the need at ground level. The objective of present paper is to study the gap between the planning a project for the education of tribal communities and its execution to reach the needy (poor).

Abstract: Background: - Antibiotic resistance is a serious public health problem. Antibiotic resistant bacteria are germs that have developed resistance to certain antibiotics that normally kill the bacteria. Infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria can be harder to treat. The aim of the present study is to bring out the epidemiological profile of patients infected with Multi Drug Resistant Bacteria (MDRB) and to investigate the risk factors related to this pathology...........

Abstract: Long since the eruption of conflict in Middle East, Yemen and the adjacent region has seen tremendous drifts and shifts. And the ongoing conflict (having displaced millions of people), is far more complex than a Shia-Sunni Conflict. The Houthis and the Yemenese government have battled on-and-off since 2004 with great devastation. The problem is not that the peace is not landed back in the region, but negotiation is not channeled in a positive way and role played by the regional players of Middle East as well as the major western powers is totally discouraging. In fact, UN is in itself has a greater role to play for peace (for what it was established). There is a need to change the perceptions towards the conflict as it has already crossed the Human Rights parameters. This paper has contributed in highlighting the issue its repercussions and role of major regional played of Middle East (Saudi Arabia).
