Linguistic sexism exists in almost every aspect of social and cultural life. In recent years, it has become an important research object. Previous studies have covered the topic of linguistic sexism, but the reasons still need to be further studied. Therefore, through sociolinguistic study, the proverbs about appearance and inwardness of female, as well as the proverbs contrasting male and female in the aspects of social status, age, behavior and marriage are illustrated. The paper will show the linguistic sexism in English proverbs, analyze the reasons and propose its development tendency.

Demographic factors are the socioeconomic characteristics of a population expressed statistically such as age, sex, education level, income level, marital status, occupation, religion, etc. The actions resorted to by customers after a dissatisfaction episode have always been a topic of research. The broad area covered in this study is consumer satisfaction, dissatisfaction and complaining behaviour. The consumers considered are the inpatients who were dissatisfied with any service during their hospital stay. This study is an attempt to identify the type of demographics of inpatients who have the propensity to complain post dissatisfaction with the hospital services. A total of 312 inpatients who were admitted and discharged from 100+ bedded private and cooperative hospitals across nine districts belonging to northern, central and southern Kerala were surveyed. Their action after being dissatisfied was studied with a dichotomous scale and thus categorized as either complainers or non-complainers. Data pertaining to a total of eight sociodemographic variables were collected with categorical scales whereas their length of hospital stay and self assessment of medical awareness was collected with a continuous scale. The study revealed that except occupation, none of the other variables had an effect on the complaining behaviours of inpatients.

Visceral leishmaniasis may be considered as a rare opportunistic infection in adult with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We report the second case in the world and the first one in Morocco. It is about a 70-year-old patient, with chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with chemotherapy. He presented fever, splenomegaly and axillary adenopathy. The blood count showed persistent pancytopenia. The bone marrow aspiration showed the presence of Leishman’s bodies. The patient was lost to follow-up.

The corrosion inhibitory potentials of Bamboosa vulgaris leaves extract in 1M HCl solution was studied using gravimetric and gasometric techniques. The results obtained from both gasometrical and gravimetric analysis showed decrease in corrosion rate of mild steel immersed in the 1M HCl solution containing Bamboosa vulgaris leaves extract from the corrosion of the mild steel immersed in the blank uninhibited 1M HCl solution. There was a more pronounced decrease in corrosion rate as the concentration of the plant extract was increased from 200mg/l to 1000mg/l. The decrease in corrosion rate is attributed to inhibition of plant extract on the corrosion of mild steel. Inhibition efficiency of Bamboosa vulgaris leaves extract increased with increase in the concentration of its extract. However the corrosion inhibition properties of Bamboosa vulgaris leaves extract is suggested to be as a result of the formation of a protective shielding layer which might have developed around the metal surface under the corrosive medium conditions owing to the organic nature of the Bamboosa vulgaris leaves extract. The formation of the shielding layer is as a result of Bamboosa vulgaris phytochemical molecules adsorption to the metal surface, forming iron (11) complexes with the metal. The adsorption of the plant extract on the metal surface fitted into Langmuir adsorption isotherm, Freundlich adsorption isotherm, and Temkim adsorption isotherm, but best fitted into Langmuir adsorption isotherm. The calculated values of apparent free energy of adsorption are all negative indicating spontaneous adsorption of Bamboosa vulgaris leaves extract on the metal surface.

This study dealt with the assessment of the phytochemicals, antibacterial and mineral analysis of methanol extract of leaf Newbouldia laevis and its fractions (hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate). Quantitative phytochemical screenings were done by various standard laboratory methods. Quantitative phytochemical screening was carried out using spectrophotometry method while mineral analysis was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometric method. Antibacterial activity was investigated using agar well diffusion method. The result obtained from the phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, oxalate, tannin, saponin among others. The antibacterial activity of Newbouldia laevis leaf extracts was tested on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiellia pneumonia, and Streptococcus pneumonia. Antibacterial effect of Newbouldia laevis leaf showed that only nhexane fraction was capable of inhibiting all microorganisms used except Staphylococcus aureus in concentration dependent manner. Chloroform fraction was found to inhibit only E.coli at higher concentration (100-150 mg/ml) as indicated in the zone of inhibition, while it has no effect on other bacteria. Methanol extract showed inhibition activity only on S. aureus at 100-150 mg/ml. All the microorganisms showed resistance to the aqueous fraction of Newbouldia laevis leaf. Mineral analysis revealed the presence of Zn, Co, Cd, Cu, Ca, Fe and Mn. These results could suggest the promising chemopreventive use of Newbouldia laevis and some of its active principles in the treatment of infections.

This article seeks to answer the Western misconception about Islam and radicalism. It explores and contrasts the world major religions and philosophies. The central goal was to explore the claim that Islamic identities and beliefs promote violence. With this in mind, the researcher used three frames of analysis namely organizational analysis theory (political power vacuum), Islamic analysis and leadership influence (charismatic quality of a leader). This approach allowed the researcher to objectively explore and analyze the central arguments in a way that allows the researcher to critique and or challenge the Western myth about Islam.

Polygyny is a common practice in a wide range of societies across the globe. Increasingly, many studies suggested that polygyny has a significant impact on mental health. This study aimed to investigate the impact of polygynous family structure on the mental health of students at Jazan University. A stratified sample of 489 undergraduate students, 379 of whom were from monogynous families and 110 were from polygynous families, participated in this study. The participants completed the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD), and the Self-esteem Scale (SE). Independent-samples t-tests were employed to compare psychiatric symptoms, general family functioning, and self-esteem of students from polygynous families and students from monogynous families. Regression analysis was conducted to detect the main predictors of the study's dependent variables. The students from polygynous and monogynous family structures did not differ significantly in their scores on the scales of mental health, family functioning, and self-esteem. Low mother's education was significantly associated with the prevalence of polygynous family and was a strong predictor of poor family functioning. Female gender was significantly associated with more somatization (p<0.01) and anxiety (p<0.05) symptoms. The findings of the present study suggest that University students' mental health did not differ significantly with respect to their family structure. Implications for health practitioners, teachers, and policy makers are discussed. Future studies could investigate the impact of polygyny on mental health of children, adolescents, and fathers and mothers themselves.

The purpose if this paper is to outline the prevailing situation in Mexico related to the lack of matriculation in higher education. It discusses the few economic aid alternatives in existence, as well the way to approach them through a savings scheme as a means to enable financing to access higher education in a private institution. The study is conducted in the metropolitan area of Boca del Río, Veracruz. All this with the purpose of showing, on one side the tuition costs in private schools and on the other hand, the actual interest rates in savings schemes given by national financial institutions. As a result, two possibly accessible saving schemes were found. This also more efficiently accomplishes the objective set and with less investment, which is to save in order to cover the cost of higher education in a private school. Within this background, the development of the financial calculations that support this proposal is shown.
