Abstract: Students in higher education are at a higher risk to miss participation in private or institution-organized physical activities, and this can be reflected badly on their academic performance and future social and physical wellbeing. The current study aimed to identify the barriers hindering the sports participation among sports participants and non-participants in higher education in the UAE. The study demonstrated that both participants and non-participants are significantly affected by several barriers which are lack of facilities, frequent sickness, social and culture barriers, lack of interest, diseases and disabilities, lack of time, peer pressure, shortage of qualified trainers, over load of study work and lack of transportation. This study provides important data to decision makers about the barriers that hinder sports participation and help them to find solutions in order to improve students’ involvement in physical education and sports in the higher education level in the UAE.

The Namesake is the debut novel which was written by the Indian American writer, Jhumpa Lahiri. In this novel, Lahiri depicts the lives of two generations of Indian immigrants in America and their own problems. It differs from other immigrant novels in the way that Lahiri does not arrange rise and fall of experiences for her characters. She just uses the simplest words to describe the heroes’ daily life. Under the multicultural background, Lahiri lays a lot of emphasis on the struggles and sufferings of the cultural identity of Indian American. This thesis aims at the analysis of the different identity confusions between the first generation immigrants and the second generation immigrants in terms of their names, love experiences and marriages. This paper attempts to conclude that the cultural differences have a great influence on the fate of characters. Meanwhile, it points out different attitudes and solutions toward the problems.

The importance of postsecondary education has increased significantly in the
last decade. A high school diploma is no longer sufficient in the 21st century. In order to
be successful in today’s global economy a person must receive some form of
postsecondary education. The economic stability of the state is tied to citizens who are
employed and productive. In a constrained fiscal environment, policymakers also will
need to consider whether there are better means of achieving shared goals, including
student access and support for research. Such approaches could entail more
coordination, other funding mechanisms, or policy reforms. In addition, it will be
necessary to think about the implications of parity and whether funding strategies will
require changes in order to reach desired outcomes. This paper is intended to provide a
starting point for illustrating the various methods of funding higher education for
improved performance of institutions.

Abstract: Infertility is more of a social problem rather than a medical problem. The term “subfertility” used to describe any form of reduced fertility that results in a prolonged duration of unwanted lack of conception. The difficulty to conceive or subfertility constitutes a major social and psychological burden amongst couples especially in lower-middle country like Bangladeshi women. Accurate and precise diagnosis is mandatory prior to management of case. Although there are many diagnostic tests available, the clinical presentation of each patient can usually be linked to specific and efficient testing strategies. Ultrasonography is an accurate and reliable test for evaluation of subfertilty. Ultrasonographic imaging is easy to use, safe, and readily available noninvasive means to evaluate fertility potential. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and correlate the clinical findings with ultrasonography finding of the subfertile female patient. A hospital based cross sectional study conducted Department of obstetrics & Gynecology (Infertility unit), Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Shahbag, Dhaka. Sample was selected from the population by Purposive sampling. All subjects were subfertility in reproductive age group. Total 50 patients were enrolled for study after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria Detail demographic data were collected from the patients and recorded in structured case report form. All collected questionnaire checked very carefully to identify the error in the data. Data processing work consist of registration schedules, editing computerization, preparation of dummy table, analyzing and matching of data. Maximum numbers of patients (62.0%) were between 20-30 years age group with mean age was 26.47 ± 11.57 years. Detailed history taking, examination suggested that, etiology for subfertility were (14%) for tubal factors and (26%) ovarian factors. Clinical and pathological factors for subfertilty were verified by pelvic ultrasonography in all the cases. In case of female infertility, uterine factors account for 32% of the cases. Among the uterine causes, fibroids or myomas in the uterus found (16%) cases, endometrial thickening (10%), endometrial polyp and endometriosis (6%) cases. Ovarian factors like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) found (18%) cases. In 24% of women, USG tests were normal and there is no easily identifiable cause for infertility. Subfertility is not an uncommon problem in our country, major social, personal and economical burden. When pregnancy is considered such an important event in life, and considered a “socially unacceptable condition”, it can lead to a search for treatment appropriately and accurately. Aetiology of infertility are numerous and presentation also variable, sometimes confusion occurs regarding the actual diagnosis and thus delay the prompt management which may result in poorer clinical outcome. Therefore proper clinical evaluation with sonographic and other pathological findings correlation, interpretation helps to proper diagnosis, treatment and prevention as well.

Investors can choose to invest in the real investment sector or in the financial
sector. The decision to choose the investment sector is mainly determined by the amount
of return (return) generated and the risk (risk) that will be received by investors due to the
investment. Theoretically the risks and returns received from an investment will go hand
in hand. The higher the rewards expected to be received, the greater the risk that investors
will receive. Fama (1970) classified information into three types, namely; (i) oast price
change (past price changes), (ii) public information (publicly available information) and
(iii) public and private information (good information available to the public and not).
The efficient market hypothesis has been widely tested and, with the data in a wide
variety of markets and variety result. The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, we seem to
be entering a stage where widely scattered and as yet incohesive evidence is arising which
seems to be inconsistent with the theory. Daily observations are taken for the period
January 2017 to December 2017 on LQ-45 at IDX. Autocorrelation, Ljung-Box Qstatistic Test, to test the hypothesis that the stock market follows a random walk. Daily
returns are not normally distributed, because they are negatively skewed and leptokurtic.
In aggregate we concluded that the daily prices do not follows random walks in LQ-45

The Arabian Gulf countries have witnessed a progressive improvement in the
healthcare sector. The infrastructural improvement and the increase in budgetary
allocation have led to increase flow of expatriate nurses to the region, but there is no any
case study based on the job satisfaction for nurses from the region as whole. The purpose
of this study is to assess the job satisfaction level for nurses working in the Arabian Gulf
countries. This was a systematic review of literature using articles searcher form PubMed,
Science Direct and Google Scholar databases. The articles selected had to be published in
English between years 2010 to 2018. Data was extracted and analysed thematically then
presented in form of charts, tables, and narrative. The search resulted in 197 articles
(PubMed: n = 59, Science Direct: n = 66, and Google Scholar: n = 72) of which eight
articles all published in English and after 2012 were approved for systematic review.
Major findings indicated the job satisfaction among nurses in Arabian Gulf was moderate
with expatriate being slight satisfied than the locals. The factors influencing job
satisfaction can be categorised into personal factors, organisational related factors, and
work environment related factors. Nurses in the Arabian Gulf region are not fully satisfied
with their jobs. It is imperative that the Government and other healthcare sector
stakeholders discuss a manner for motivating both the local nurses and the level of job
satisfaction.
