“Transnationalism” in its broadest sense names the effort to study nations and cultures in a global context. Transnational literature crosses national boundaries, is written by migrant or exiled writers, and read by a global audience. Transnationalism in literary and cultural studies is a vital tool for unravelling the profound yet still unexplored implications that derive from the vast movement of people, texts, languages, translations, art forms and objects across the world. Through the study of transnationalism, we are able to examine and highlight the flows, interchanges and multi-stranded connections between textual and cultural movements across and between borders, boundaries, regions, nations, countries and continents. Whereas the feminism as an ideology that affects transnationalism and the literary output in those countries is labelled as transnational feminism, focusing on spaces of conflict, of contradiction, of contact in which women, women of colour, and other marginalized sections, have transformed discourses and spaces that exclude them, into ‘spaces of possibility and collaboration’. This paper attempts to analyse Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s text Americanah as a transnational feminist novel using the theories of deconstruction and negofeminism as the tools of evaluation and analysis.

Cement most conform the minimum standard for use. The study is focused to assess minimum quality of cement maintained at field practice at Lokanthali Area. The quality of cement in use at site was examined by manual field test and lab test was conducted for the confirmation of physical properties of most preferred cement brand as per Indian Standard Specifications. Also, secondary data were used to collect the relevant data for the analysis of the results. Hetauda cement being the highest consumer choice brand was tested in the lab. The 28 day compressive strength was found to be 47.48Mpa and 49.56Mpa for old and fresh cement respectively while other physical properties were confirmed as per Indian Standard Specifications. The results of 28 day compressive strength test shows that cement have less than 53 grades and greater than 43 grades. Since, 43 grade is enough for the general construction of structural element below M25 concrete grade, Hetauda cement can be considered as quality brand cement for such uses. It is recommended that manufacturer of Hetauda cement should increase its production capacity to meet the demand of the consumer.

This research study aims at tracing the human-behavior relationship between current migrant-residents and the built fabric of Najada zone in Doha. It provides a useful insight into the urban reality of migrant communities in a selected neighborhood and suggests that foreseen plans for urban adaptation and revitalization should be considered in alignment with the ever-changing demographics of a city facing fast urban growth. Through various methodological tools embedded into human-behavior studies that support the analysis of spatial practice of communities such as (i) systematic observation, (ii) contemplating settings and (iii) walking tour assessment, the interaction of Najada’s users and the surrounding built environment is traced. The purpose of the research study is to provide the basic foundation of analytical data for urban design schemes that encourages preservation and conservation of neglected old neighborhoods, at national and regional scale.

PT Intan Sejati is a company engaged in printing services. The production process at PT. Intan Sejati uses 96 machines. The maintenance activities carried out by the company are corrective maintenance. Engine damage in the period (January-December) in 2018 shows that there are 636 engine failures that require part replacement with 44% of damage occurring in the printing machine, which means the machine's printing process is a critical machine. This study was conducted to classify the criterion index part of the machine using the Reliability Centered Spares method, sorting out critical parts repairable and non repairable, determining the needs of critical parts using the Poisson Process method, determining the minimum and maximum stock quantities, determining the size of orders for economic parts using the Economic Order Quantity. The results of the RCS worksheet show that there are 3 high critical classification parts, 52 medium critical classification parts, 33 low critical classification parts and 48 not critical classification parts. The calculation of part requirements is carried out on 14 part units which are included in the high category and critical medium and have a frequency of damage ≥3 times. 14 units of parts are included in the category of non repairable parts. The biggest critical part needs are on the XL 105 engine with 61 units and the smallest need is on the SM 52 A engine with 21 units. The largest maximum and minimum amount of inventory is on the CD 102 machine with a supply range of 9-26 units and the smallest inventory is on the XL 105 engine with a supply range of 2-3 units. The largest economical ordering size is on the SM 102 B engine with 11 units and the smallest on the XL 105 engine with 2 units.

Chittasthirikaran stotra is a popular and already proved verse. Chitta is manas i.e. mind. Sthirikarana is ‘to stabilize’. Strotra means a ‘holy verse for chanting’. This stotra was selected to observe its efficiency for establishment of mental peace. Vedic Mantra recitation is a task and is difficult to chant. Proper chanting needs a proper guide, that is difficult to be obtained every time. Relatively Laukik Sanskrit Mantra is easier and Guru is available. Status of mind is assessed for various psychological conditions (manovega) like depression, anxiety, anger, etc.; before and after chanting of Chittasthirikaran stotra. The difference between the two readings is accepted as effect of chanting Chittasthirikaran stotra. Data is submitted to the statistician and the result is obtained.

Conclusion: The finding proved that turmeric mouthwash is more effective than sodium bicarbonate mouthwash to reduce the level of oral Mucositis.

Ayurveda as a complete life science describes the various treatment methods. Daivavyapashray chikitsa or no drug therapy is a form of treatment, roots of which can be traced up to the vedic era. Rugveda describes many verses useful in various health disorders. Rugveda samhita has mentioned Saurasukta in its first mandal, which praise the lord Sun to cure all cardiac problems and bestow the health. Ayurveda describes Hrudrog and its types, pathogenesis in detail. Hypertension is a condition which is the major cause of precipitation of cardiac diseases. The verse which cures heart disease is bound to cure the internal etiological factors for heart disease like hypertension.100 patients of primary hypertension was selected and divided in two groups. Patients in study group recited the the rugved rucha as per protocol and also given antihypertensive treatment. Control group patient received only antihypertensive treatment. The result were analysed after 90 days. After statistical analysis it is concluded that saura sukta chanting is proved as complementary module in the treatment of hypertension.

Fresh palm oil is known to compose of vitamin A and E; two well known antioxidants which combat alot of ailments caused by reactive oxygen species. Thermoxidized palm oil on the other hand has deleterious effects on some organs. This study was done to find out the effects of chronic consumption of palm oil on some renal function indices (protein, glucose and creatinine) in rats. Thirty male albino rats (weighing 140g-160g) of the wistar strain were randomly divided into three groups of ten rats each namely: control; (fed normal rat chow), FPO (fed 15%w/w fresh palm oil diets) and TPO (fed 15%w/w thermoxidized palm oil diets). All groups had free access to tap water. Results showed that plasma protein levels in TPO-fed animals were significantly (P<0.001) higher compared with control and FPO-fed groups. Creatinine levels were significantly (P<0.001) higher in TPO-fed group than those of the control and FPO-fed groups. Urine protein, glucose and creatinine levels in the TPO-fed group were significantly (P<0.001) higher than those of control and FPO groups. Conclusion: Chronic consumption of thermoxidized palm oil distorts renal handling of protein, glucose and Creatinine, while fresh palm oil maintains these renal function indices.

Meibomian gland carcinoma is an aggressive tumour with poor prognosis when diagnosed late. The tumour is often confused with neoplasms. This is a case report of a 40 year old male patient diagnosed with meibomian gland carcinoma. The tumour was resected completed along with orbital exenteration which was reconstructed with a FALT graft.

Increased consumption of the tobacco, paan and gukta along with low awareness of its ill effects among the general population has significantly contributed to increased incidence of head and neck carcinoma in the Indian subcontinent over the past few decades. In this article we reported diagnosis and management of one such case of squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa in a 32 year old male patient.

This research, based on the analysis of the themes in the college English textbooks and the analysis of the need of Chinese elements, combined with the quantitative discussion and analysis about the speech authority distribution in English textbooks which is acquired by questionnaire surveys, and by the discussion about the cultural orientation of students and the influence on their language-leaning and trans-cultural communication the speech authority distribution brings about, provides substantial support for college English teaching studies.

Understanding the differences between games and sports can be done when we can identify the two terms as two different words. A sport is a physical activity carried out under fixed set of rules, with competition or self-enjoyment or a combination of both. A game is a recreational activity involving one or more players, defined by a goal that the players try to reach, and some set of rules to play it. Most of the people is confused between Sport and game because the word game has several meanings. Actually we can play a game of sports, but we can't sport a game. Olympics they are called the OLYMPIC GAMES and all the competitions are in specific Sports. Cue sports are a wide variety of games of skill generally played with a cue stick which is used to strike billiard balls, moving them around a cloth-covered billiards table surrounded by rubber cushions. Billiards is a sport, and you can play different games within the sport: eight- ball, nine- ball, three ball, one pocket and bank pool. Pocket Billiards has been declared a Sport by the Olympic Committee. Billiards category including pool, snooker and carom was presented in the 2005 World Games, held in Duisburg, Germany, and the 2006 Asian Games as a cue sports category. Thus, definitely billiards should be announced as a sport.

Access to electrical energy in urban slum settlement areas is a systematic challenge to the population of Cameroonian cities. This stems from the nature of the relief, deplorable living conditions and poverty. This article advances that poverty and the nature of the relief have caused the people of Azegue to indulge in unorthodox means to access electricity which has affected their social wellbeing. Data collection through questionnaire administration, observation and perception, interviews and group discussions coupled with documentary research were done. Results from findings advocate that the inadequate supply of electrical energy in Azegue has enabled the inhabitants to devise other means of survival. Some 87% of the population of Azegue lives in poverty. The neighbourhood is characterised by 20% of hills and 80% of valley slums with poor runoff and drainage. A greater part of the neighbourhood is considered prohibited for settlement hence, not fit for electrical energy supply. Some inhabitants of the area acquire energy through direct connection on electric poles without permission. Others receive their supply from neighbours as secondary source distributors. Electrical energy distribution triggers a solid social relationship amongst those engaged in the same activity.This method of social justice by the inhabitants on one hand augments solidarity and on the other produces conflicts. Considering the indispensible nature of electrical energy to the daily functioning of households, State intervention in land acquisition and the provision of social amenities is imperative in Azegue to render the area sustainable for settlement.

Via the presentation of critical perspectives, this study proposes: the translation of school subjects into Nigerian Pidgin (NP); and the use of standard NP for teaching and learning in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in the country. In terms of lexicon, grammar and literature, Nigerian Pidgin should be extensively developed. If the language is to be effectively used as medium of instruction alongside English, translation – which incorporates codification and standardization – is crucial. Indeed, NP should be introduced into the Certification System, so that learners will strive to attain proficiency in the language. Such proficiency will have long-term positive implications not only in terms of national cohesion and development, but also in terms of producing human resources (future competent teachers of the language in primary, secondary and tertiary institutions). Hinging on Stewart‟s parameters for language classification, this study concludes that the translation of school subjects into NP and use of NP as medium of instruction in schools can culminate into improvement of its corpora so much that the language can subsequently suffice as a functional language in important facets of nation-hood and can become suitable as a National Language in future
