Islamic Banking Sector (IBS) is the most influential domain in the economic development of Bangladesh. In the 21st century, IBS has passed thirty years glorious journey creating huge competition considering its service quality and achieved a remarkable growth. Service Quality (SQ) is the most significant affecting factor for remarkable growth of IBS in Bangladesh from 1983 to 2013. Thus, this research work attempts to determine the elixir of the service quality of Islamic Banks existed in Bangladesh as Islamic Banking Sector using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). This research uses modified CARTER model (Compliance of Islamic Shariah, Reliability, Assurance, Tangibility, Empathy and Responsiveness) consisting of 34 (thirty four) dimensions with 6 (six) constructs. A total of 396 samples have been used from 6 (six) full pledged Islamic banks in Bangladesh. This study reveals that 20 (twenty) factors have found as the elixir of service quality of Islamic banks in Bangladesh where assurance is the most significant construct followed by reliability, tangibility, empathy, responsiveness and tensely compliance of Islamic Shariah.

In this article we give a new proof of the celebrated theorem of Feuerbach.

Investment is a catalyst for the economic growth, and the efforts to explore the factors catalyzing investment, whether domestic or foreign, public or private, are unstoppable. The present study attempts to investigate empirically, the factors responsible for shaping up domestic investment in the middle income Asian countries. We use a sample of twelve countries and the data extends over a period of 31 years ending at 2010. We employ empirical Bayesian approach for analysis, after undergoing the preliminary testing of data through panel unit root test, redundancy test and panel co-integration. The results suggests that domestic investment is positively determined by lagged investment, real GDP per capita growth, domestic credit to private sector, domestic saving, trade and government expenditures whereas a negative relationship of domestic investment is observed with inflation and interest rate. Findings of the study provide a torch to the policy makers who intend to boost domestic investment for attaining higher growth rates

This article presents a description of a special education teacher’s work and how it appears as student encounters during a month-long observation period at a hospital school. The teacher’s pedagogical skills are tested when she has to bend to many directions. Every day is different, students form an extremely heterogeneous group, and every one of them has their special needs. Teaching at a hospital school is special education at its best and work requires especial flexibility, understanding, acceptance, and caring as well as endless trust in students’ development regardless of their most difficult conditions. The article is based on Dr. Äärelä’s long-term experience as a special education teacher at a hospital school and her researcher’s diary of the everyday encounters in the teacher’s work. The month-long special observation period formed the data of this study. The findings are here presented as ten examples of student encounters. They are to illustrate the daily work at a hospital school and, thus, help to develop and support teacher training. The fundamental purpose is to lay foundation to the development of hospital school pedagogy.

The aim of this study is the identification of urban centralities and analysis of public transportation supply in these areas, in Goiania. To identify centralities were used some tools, as the Exploratory Analysis of Spatial Variables, statistical analyzes and investigations of outliers. The operationalization of the procedures was performed through the use of Geographic Information Systems focused on four variables: average income, population density, density of public transportation lines and density of public transportation supply. Infographics gathering graphs, statistical summaries and boxplots and thematic maps were generated. Spatial analysis was performed by generating maps of scattering Moran (BoxMap). The results showed centralities with high and low supply of PT and, also, allowed to conclude that there is a large gap between mobility policies with policies of urban expansion, on the studied case.

The city of Istanbul historically witnessed many cases of violence. The nature of the violence changed with times and its aggravation had seasons, while some violence was almost always present in some form or another. Being a cosmopolitan urban center, violence seems to be one of the “additives” in the city’s very essence and nature.

Fractures of neck in paediatric population is a rare variety. It comprises less than 1% of all paediatric fractures. Fractures of neck occur in paediatric population as a result of high energy trauma or in a weakend bone due to pre-existing pathologic process in the proximal femur. Early Anatomical reduction and internal fixation in Delbet Type 2 fractures is recommended in literature to avoid complications in a growing child like avascular necrosis, coxavara, non-union and chondrlysis. Infection in a hip fracture in a child is a very rare complication accounting for only 1% of complication rate according to James McCarthy and Kenneth Noonan et al. Infecton can also lead to loss of reduction and subsequent collapse as in this case. There are various treatment options available for non-union fracture neck in children which includes use of vascularized or non-vascularised fibular bone graft combined with or without a subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy, use of muscle-pedicle bone graft or in some cases use of iliac crest grafts. We present a case of type 2 Delbet femoral transcervical fracture in a 12 year old girl child treated within 24 hours with Closed Reduction and Internal Fixation with cannulated 6.5mm cancellous screws and washers. Patient developed a delayed infection after 2 weeks with subsequent loss of reduction and collapse at fracture site. This was again revised with closed reduction and internal fixation with 6.5mm cancellous screws along with non-vascularised fibular grafting which went to unite well in an acceptable varus position and excellent functional outcome.

Genetic Algorithms are among the most efficient search-based techniques to automatically generate unit test cases today. The search is guided by a fitness function which evaluates how close an individual is to satisfy a given coverage goal. There exists several coverage criteria but the default criterion today is branch coverage. Nevertheless achieving high or full branch coverage does not imply that the generated test suite has good quality. In object oriented programs the state of the object affects its behavior. Thereupon, test cases that put the object under test, in new states are of interest in the testing context. In this article we propose a new fitness function which takes into consideration three factors for evaluation: the approach level, the branch distance and the new states reached by a test case. The coverage targets are still the branches, but during the search, the state of the object under test evolves with the scope to produce individuals that discover interesting features of the class and as a consequence can discover errors. We implemented this fitness function in the eToc tool. In our experiments the usage of the proposed fitness function towards the original fitness function results in a relative increase of 15.6% in the achieved average mutation score with the cost of a relative increase of 12.6% in the average test suite size.

The aeromagnetic survey is important to delineate the relationship that is usually present in survey areas, between magnetic anomalies and tectonic pattern. This is primarily based on the fact that the tectonic history of the rocks is recorded in the magnitude and pattern of magnetic anomalies. Thus, any extensive magnetic survey will contain anomalies whose pattern is not random (Affleck, 1963). Euler, source parameter imaging and analytic signal methods are applied for depth calculations.2-D modelling is simple technique to get a relative imaging of subsurface. G. Abu Had-G. Umm Qaraf area is located in the southern part of the Eastern Desert of Egypt. It is about 100 km southwest Marsa Alam City. The surveyed area is bounded by latitudes 24° - 25°N and longitudes 34°- 35° E with 1221 km2 area.

The aim of this work is to study the changes in land use in the study area in manner that can aid quick and useful decisions for the purpose of land development, administration and planning for a sustainable environment. The main objective of the study is to analyze the land use changes in Ganakbari Mouza. This study has used mainly primary and secondary data. Stratified random sampling was used for primary data, and secondary information (data) was collected from various secondary sources. Findings revealed that in liner pattern of growth which is taking in haphazard manner. Irresponsibility of RAJUK and other related development authority is the main cause of this haphazard growth. Lack of land use policy, zoning regulation and other controlling rules and laws are also responsible for this uncontrolled and unplanned development. But as a potential area of development, Ganakbari may play an important role in whole region. It may also the role of an efficient and suitable satellite city for the megacity Dhaka. It is concluded that remote sensing and GIS tools provide an outstanding platform from which accurate information on Land use changes and patterns can be obtained and that Ganakbari area of Dhamsona union has experienced tremendous changes in land use, so efforts should be made to regularly update available data in order to control further development.
