Spate irrigation is a resource system, whereby flood water is emitted through normally dry wadi and conveyed to irrigable fields. Modernization of spate structures has been taking place in Raya valley since 1998 even though the efficiencies are not as intended. Initially the design standard was directly adopted from the conventional irrigation systems. Farmers were complaining that the implemented design standard was not appropriate with regards to their experiences. According to the professional’s perception, the reason for schemes failure could be poor management and lack of maintenance. Spate irrigation design development in Raya valley shows significant changes through time; like widening of intake, increasing of deflection angle, excluding of rain fall during design and reduction of irrigation time. The spate schemes with relatively best performance still have problems like; sedimentation around intakes, less spate flow and low performances. Therefore, understanding of the experience, wisdom and tradition of farmers is necessary during design and construction of spate irrigation.
There are debates whether Pedophilia, a universal psycho-social problem, is a psychiatric disorder or a perverse sexual orientation. Though a few number of pedophilia supporting groups argue that having sexual interests in children is merely a sexual orientation or fantasy; but this paper explores further in analyzing different psychological insights of pedophiles, especially in the contexts of Vladimir Nobokov’s novel Lolita (1955) and its film adaptation of 1962. This paper gives a critical analysis of the views and practices of pedophilia in the contemporary world. In addition to that, this paper explores the binary opposite characters of Humbert and Clare Quilty to determine whether pedophilia is their sexual orientation or they are perverts who are only sexually attracted to young girls. Apart from analyzing this perverse sexual practice, this paper also discusses the established notions of pedophilia, re/de-constructs them and gives an elaborate discussion on this taboo topic from theoretical points of view. In doing so, this paper employs critical commentaries based on a number of established theories like Michel Foucault’s theories on Sexuality, Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis and Laura Mulvey’s envision of scopophilia.
Providing health and education services in the rural areas is one of the biggest challenge that is faced by the government of India. With nearly 70 per cent population living in rural areas have less number of health and education services than their urban counterpart. Health care and education amenities are hardly available in the rural areas, and this is the core reason for migration of the rural people to urban areas. This paper focuses on the distribution of health and education services in the rural areas of Aligarh district taken primary and secondary data under consideration. Methodological principle adopted for the present study is cumulative frequency distribution, mean spacing, Gini’s coefficient concentration ratio, and graphical representation of the cumulative frequency curve. Result shows that there is gap in the availability of health and education services in the rural areas in different population size group of settlements.
The article devoted research of metallic artifacts from the Middle Bronze Age sites of South – East of Azerbaijan Republic. In the article present the results of quantitative spectral analysis of metallic artifacts from study region. More part of them found in funerary monuments, dated to the period from the XX-XIX centuries BC. The purpose of the study show which alloys and metals were used in the studies periodfor manufacturing of metallic artifacts in study region. The analyses have shown that copper is the basic materials in all of them. Metallurgical results the results of analysis have shown more of artifacts made of tin bronze, one of them of copper arsenic. In study region discovered earliest artifacts of pure antimony, dated XX-XIX centuries BC. Handle of dagger from the admit burial made of tin – arsenic alloys contain 11.1 % tin and 0.85 % arsenic. It shows, that on the southeastern of Azerbaijan tin were enough and seems bring from the territory of Iran. Known, ancient tin mining are absent on the Caucasus. Nearly ancient tin mining fount on the Iran, used beginning of the III millennium BC.
The Purpose of the paper is to examine the most critical and important factor which will affect the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in the construction industry in the United Arab Emirates. It also examines the most effected Project outcome from implementing TQM. A framework was also proposed depending on the literature studies. The method used in this paper is a quantitative study. A survey with a sample of 60 respondents was created and distributed in a construction company in Abu Dhabi, which includes 15 questions to examine the most critical factor that will affect the implementation of TQM in addition to the most effected project outcome from implementing TQM. The survey showed that management commitment is the most important factor in implementing TQM in a construction company. Also it showed that Project cost is most effected outcome from the implementation of TQM.Management commitment is very important for implementing TQM in any company. If the management loose interest in quality then everyone in the organization will do so. The success of TQM will depend mostly on the top of the pyramid. Also cost is reduced and money is saved when the project team implement TQM. While if no quality measures are present within the team, the project will suffer a commercial failure. Based on literature, more factors can be examined and added to the model. In addition, more construction companies could be surveyed in order to obtain more accurate results. Also this study could be conducted outside the United Arab Emirates for further enchantment.
Sustainable farming systems are required to allow crops to better cope with the simultaneous multiple stresses that they grow under or are likely to be exposed to under future climate change. Fungal endophytes could form part of the solution. They have been shown to improve important agronomic traits under a single stress, but few studies have investigated the impact of endophytes on growth or disease resistance when exposed to multiple stresses. We compared the performance of the barley cultivar Propino when inoculated with five fungal root endophytes, either individually or combined, derived from wall barley (Hordeum murinum) and grown in optimal conditions (OC) and under a combined drought, heat, nutrient and pathogen stress (MS). We found a greater endophyte-induced improvement in important agronomic traits in the MS plants compared with the OC plants. For the MS plants only 13% of the controls survived to the end of the experiment compared with 80% of the endophyte treatments.
In this article we review the types of natural and synthetic materials that are being used in brain tissue engineering applications for traumatic brain injury and stroke. We analyse modifications of scaffolds including immobilizing drugs, growth factors and extracellular matrix molecules to improve central nervous system regeneration and functional recovery. This review attempts to outline the varieties of biomaterial parameters that are applied as biophysical and biochemical signals to direct NSC fate and behaviour. The understanding on the interaction of NSCs decision and biomaterial parameters is helping to advance NSCs-based clinical approaches for nerve tissue regeneration and repair.
The problem “Infant” in Chinese animation will be analyzed, the differences between Chilren’s Animation and “Infant” will be declaired, then it will be point out that Childish view in Chinese public opinion is wrong. There are shown that the Chinese animation’s experiences and trends.
physics in the secondary and post-secondary (preparatory) schools of Wolaita and Dawuro zones. The study explored problems in the teaching and learning of physics from the following perspectives: problems related to school facilities, teachers, students, plasma instruction and the extent to which the school is conducive for practical activities. The research methodology employed in the study was a descriptive survey. Purposive, stratified and simple random sampling techniques were used to select the data sources of the study. Educational administrators (principals and vice principals), physics teachers, students, and supervisors at zonal and woreda levels were the subject of the study. Questionnaire and interview were the major data gathering instruments used for this study. Besides, some document analysis and personal observation were made to get additional evidences to the study. Numbers, percentage, mean values, grand mean and mean rank were the statistical tools used to analyze the data obtained from the subjects.
Balochistan Rural Support Programme (BRSP) is a non-governmental organization working in rural areas of Balochistan province since 1983. Its head office is situated in Quetta, Baluchistan, Pakistan, sub-office is located in Islamabad, and a number of district offices are located in various districts of Balochistan. It is clear that majority of the respondents 90 percent of the sample were male and 10 percent were females in district Mastung Balochistan. The respondents 86.66 percent had availed the loan facility only for once and that too for the first time. 11.66 percent had availed this facility twice and only 11.66 percent of them took loan three times. The respondents 40.00% were 25000, 16.66% were 40000.00, 20.00% were 50000.00, 13.33% were 60000.00 and 10.00% were above 80000.00 rupees amount loans. 30.00% were get for seed, 23.33% were Pesticide, 26.66% were Fertilizer and 16.66% were Others purposes.
