Abstract: The concept of death and death experience which is the reality of all realities, has produced much of the best and most characteristic attitude in literature. It has gained more attention and attraction today than it had before, because of the rapid sociological, technological, psychological and philosophical changes around. The theme of mortality tends to recline on contradictions, opposites and irreconcilables. Attempts to resolve contradictions result in oblique and equivocal ways. This very ambiguity constitutes to the uniqueness of the theme because it deals with the mysterious realm – "The undiscovered country from whose bourn / No traveller returns" (Hamlet" III. i. 79, 80). The theme of mortality in Eberhart's poetry indisputably rests on multiple views, but above all, there is the stream of realism, a potential undercurrent running beneath. So the unity presented is part of the basic design of realism and therefore of the universe too!

Abstract: A study on intra-household labor distribution and role of women in family decision making process was conducted over a period of 3 months with respect to sample 1 (S-1) single family with two children (children age around 12 years), sample 2 (S-2) joint family with husband and wife, brother-sister, father mother and children, sample 3 (S-3) joint family, husband-wife, brother-sister, father-mother and children (with primary education in any one).Total 30 families (10 from each sample) were assessed in terms of labor distribution in productive, reproductive, community & other works, role of women in family decision making process and work load after joining in to SHABGE-DFID project. Male members from all samples were spent more time in productive works and they have negligible role in reproductive works. The female members were spent more time in reproductive works. They were also spent remarkable time in productive works and little bit in community works. The female members from sample 1 were spent more time for various works in a day than other samples. The female members in sample 3 were spent less time than other samples and it is due to their consciousness (for their primary education). Among all the samples workload increased after joining in SHABGE-DFID project. They were managed this work load by taking help from husband and children (incase of sample 2&3). After joining in the SHABGE-DFID project 50% female from sample (1&2) were took part in family decision making process i.e. they were involved in family decision making process actively. After completion of the project the family members would be aware about their individual role and women could be take part in family decision making process more actively.

Abstract: Gender discrimination is a non-tradition security threat to Pakistan and it has implications for Pakistan security. Pakistani women are more than half of the total population, but women are treated inhumanly within their homes by their husbands or dominant males through different ways like Domestic Violence, Sawara, Vani, Karo Kari, Honour Killing, Acid Throwing, Forced Marriages etc. Gender discrimination is also deeply rooted in Pakistani society in education and employment sectors. The security of a state like Pakistan is connected with the security of whole population and a country cannot be considered secure until its whole population feel secure. For the progress and prosperity of a country there is needed to eliminate the discriminatory attitude of the society towards the women. There are multiple ways to improve gender balance in the country which will reduce gender discrimination.

[1.] NTS can be define as challenges to the survival and well-being of peoples and states that arise primarily out of nonmilitary sources, such as climate change, cross-border environmental degradation and resource depletion, infectious diseases, natural disasters, irregular migration, food shortages, people smuggling, drug trafficking, and other forms of transnational crime. This definition of nontraditional security (NTS) has been adopted as the working definition by the Consortium of Non-Traditional Security Studies in Asia, otherwise known as NTS-Asia.

Abstract: The research study takes a look at the impact of Microfinance bank on standard of living of hairdressers in Oshodi-Isolo local government area (LGA) of Lagos State as a Poverty eradication strategy among the society. The objectives of the study examine how Microfinance bank in Oshodi-Isolo has impacted greatly on the business of hairdressers in the local Government and to also examine the impact of Microfinance on asset acquisition and savings of hairdressers in that LGA. A total of 120 hairdressers who registered with Oshodi-Isolo LGA were used as study sample. However, primary data of questionnaire analysis was adopted and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analysis was used as the estimation techniques. More so, the hypotheses of the research were tested at 5% level of significance and the result revealed that there is a significant relationship between Microfinance bank efforts and standard of living of hairdressers in Oshodi-Isolo local Government area of Lagos state, and the implication of this is that due to the existence and help of Microfinance bank, Poverty has reduced a little bit among the hairdressers association in Oshodi Isolo LGA. In conclusion, the study recommend that Government at Local, State and Federal levels through the Central bank of Nigeria should ensure that Microfinance bank loans are easily obtainable and repayment should include a grace period with reasonable schedule instead of weekly payment period that is commonly found among the microfinance banks in Nigeria.

Abstract: Learners today anticipate learning content to include some form of blended instruction that encourages either formal or informal collaboration in discovery oriented tasks. This study hinges on the sociocultural theory and the zone of proximal development (Vygotsky 1978) and Holton and Clarks (2006) scaffolding strategies. The study begins with a semi-structured interview given to 10 purposively selected participants from both experimental and control groups at the onset of the study to ascertain their perceptions about using blended scaffolding strategies through Facebook to aid learning and in improving the writing process and writing performance. The study continues for 14 weeks beginning with a pre-test for both groups. The experimental group i.e. the group using blended scaffolding strategies go through classroom teaching with the aid of computer technology and scaffolding using Facebook after school hours. The control group only goes through chalk and talk instruction. A post-test is administered at the end of 14 weeks to determine the effects of the treatment on the experimental group. Initial findings through the semi-structured interview regarding perceptions about using blended scaffolding strategies through Facebook to aid learning and in improving the writing process and writing performance favours the blended scaffolding strategies as a learning method compared to mere chalk and talk strategy.

Abstract:Pulses on account of their vital role in nutritional security and soil ameliorative properties have
been an integral part of sustainable agriculture since ages. However the production of pulses in Uttarakhand
has drastically came down in the period, 1990-91 to 2007-08. The pulses data of Government of Uttarakhand,
directorate of Agriculture, 2008, shows that the winter pulses (lentil and chickpea) area declined in this period
5 thousand hectare. The reasons for declining the pulses were most of the farmers are economically inefficient
in producing pulses in the region.
The researcher has made an effort to find out the out the economics, benefit, and constraints of pulses
in the state of Uttarakhand. This study has revealed that the rotation of chickpea and pigeon pea reduces the use
of chemical fertilizers and also enhances the output of paddy and wheat significantly.
The entire Assn Valley which is the part of Doon valley of Uttarakhand was selected for the study. The
sample was randomly taken of 275 cultivars producing or not producing pulses. Participatory Rural Appraisal
(PRA) approach was chosen as research method and was completed by household interviews based on a semistructured
questionnaire.

Abstract: The Study examined extension service needs of catfish farmers in Oyo State. Specifically, it examined
socio economic characteristics, sources of information as well as extension service needs and constraints
encountered by catfish farmers. Primary data were obtained from 120 respondents using multistage random
sampling technique by means of structured questionnaire. Analysis of data was done using frequency counts;
percentages, mean scores and PPMC statistics. The study showed that most (70.6%) of the respondents were
male whose age range between 30 and 50 years. Majority (74.8%) of the respondents identified radio
programmes as sources of information. The major problems encountered by respondents include poor weather
82.5%, lack of credit facilities (76.7%) inadequate extension contact (71.7%). The results of tested hypothesis
showed that age, gender and year of schooling was significantly related to extension services needs. The study
recommended that provision of effective extension service to disseminate relevant and timely information
technologies to catfish farmer should be encouraged.

Abstract: Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease which is transmitted through the air. This disease damages
the lungs and other organs in the human body. TB is highly contagious and spreadswhenTB patientscough,
sneeze, spit and talk. Due to the ease of infection, anyone can contract the disease. Unfortunately, not many
people are awareabout TB. This lack of knowledge and awareness is a problem anywhere around the globe.
Therefore, the study attempts to examine the level of public awareness regarding this disease and propose a
more effective approach to address the issue of insufficient communication of information. Specifically, this
study has two main objectives: (i) to review the level of awareness on TB among university students in
Malaysia; (ii) to investigate society's stigma towards TB patients; and (iii) to identify the best strategy to
improve TB awareness in the society. This study employs a quantitative approach to data collection and
analysis. Questionnaire of 400 units were randomly distributed amongst students at Universiti Sains Malaysia
and the results were analyzed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings showed that
although the respondents have heard of the TB disease, a majority of them were not sure about the factors
causing this disease. The study also noted that a majority of respondents have negative stigma towardsTB
patients. Based on the analyses of findings, the study proposes several solutionsin the effort to improve the
awareness among students about TB. The findings indicated that students prefer television, social networking
websites and newspapers as the information source for obtaining information on TB. This study also provided
some suggestions for future researches to add to the existing literature about the dissemination of information
especially oninfectiousdiseasesandTB in particular.
