Although rice production and expansion in Cameroon in general and Ndop in particular has receive considerable attention, less is mentioned about the sickness and medical values of rice. However, rice production in Ndop has given opportunities for the local people. It has helped to increase its opportunities for expansion and production with the increasing demand for food as rice serves as a major food worldwide. On the contrary, disease such as running stomach, fungi and others often comes up because ofrice consumption. This write up sets to presents the trend, constrains and opportunities for rice consumption. Though a valuable food, eaten all over the world. Through the descriptive approach with qualitative design as our research method, we were able to put down this data collection. We used techniques such as: interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), observations, life history and iconography. Tools such as interviews guide, Focus Group Discussions guide, observation checklist, and life history guide, amongst others enable us to reach the objective of our research. A total of 24 men and women participated in 04 FGDs conducted in the 04 villages of Ndop. Meanwhile, 50 people were interviewed, 10 from the four villages of Ndop as well as UNVDA workers. A total of 08 life histories with some key informants were piloted. Findings revealed that, rice farming is the major cause of illnesses like fungi, pneumonia and body aches while its consumption at times causes running stomach, diabetes and constipation. According to the Ndop district hospital 2015, 30% of the total number of patient received in the hospital every month had illnesses related to the consumption of rice. However, rice equally brings about solutions to many health problems like the rice stock, used for brushing and treatment of the teeth. Par boiled and unpolished rice controls diabetes. Boiled rice water treats eyes problems. Water from boiled rice helps in reducing body joint pains as well as stop running stomach and help to reduce/stop bed-wetting in children.

After the Second World War, the works of the famous German general, geographer and geopolitical thinker Karl Haushofer were forbidden. Himself, driven to despair, had committed suicide with the hope to be forgotten and lost in history. Haushofer‟s major ideas, in particular, his idea of “living space” or “Lebensraum”, which inspired Adolf Hitler and Herman Hess, were regarded as theoretical background for Nazi ideology and Hitler‟s aggressive politics in Europe, and Haushofer himself was seen as one of the main ideologists of German fascism. Meanwhile, while having a deeper look into Haushofer‟s ideas it can be observed that he has never been a proponent of war. On the contrary, his theory was designed in way, which he thought would bring a long-lasting peace in Europe. His “continental block” theory was aimed on creating a Eurasian block between Germany and Soviet Union against Power of the Sea countries, which he believed were the source of unrest and strife. This paper is aimed to discuss the main concepts and ideas of Karl Haushofer within the German geopolitical school and to understand was he a geopolitician of Nazism or undeservedly forgotten geopolitical thinker and how actual his ideas are nowadays

Public universities have invested in Information Communication Technology (ICT) to equip students with the digital skills to enable them to easily access information and support them in the learning process. As such, universities have introduced an ICT introductory course to equip them with the necessary skills to fit in the ICT environment of learning. Unfortunately, there is a huge gap on the expected and actual use of ICTs in learning. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the student’s competency levels in ICT, their ability to use ICT in teaching and learning and explore the challenges they face in the use of ICTs. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. It targeted third year undergraduate students who have been in the university long enough to have interacted with ICTs frequently. The study used a questionnaire that had both open and close ended questions. A sample size of 55 students undertaking a Bachelor’s Degree in Education in a population of 218 students was identified. The findings indicated that although students undertook a course in Introduction to Computer Applications and appreciated its use in learning, they were not competent enough to make good use of ICTs. The study indicated that students faced challenges such as high internet costs, unreliable internet connectivity, limited technical knowledge and lack of computers among others. The study recommends that universities can partner with internet service providers to enable students to access internet services and acquire personal computers at affordable rates.

The study focused on the uptake and impact of use of social media sites in the zou which is an ODL institution related to student‟s learning and lecturer‟s learning and teaching. The study used a mixed methodology to gather data. A sample of 70 students and 16 lectures was conveniently chosen. The study revealed that the uptake of use of social media sites was very low for both students and lecturers. Both students and lecturers rated high the use of social media network sites in the improvement of learning and teaching. The study recommended the following among other recommendations that the ZOU could hold social media workshops to improve social media uptake. The ZOU to factor in on fees funds for the purchase of laptops and Smart phones and the ZOU to increase computers at ZOU Regional campus and Wifi coverage at ZOU district centres

Meta-discourse markers (MMs) are lexical tools that scholars use to coordinate their talk and express their position about the content or the pursuer. In Pakistani academic writing, inappropriate use of Meta-discourse markers which makes writing vague or uncertain, has been observed. The purpose of this study is to compare Meta-discourse markers between articles of journalism and economics composed by Pakistani scholars. An adhock corpora comprises of 40 articles selected from Google search engine 20 from Journalism and 20 from Economics descipline, published in well recognized Journals randomly selected from 2012 to 2020. The frequency of meta-discourse markers based on Ken Hyland model 2005 was extracted while using corpus tools famous software Ant Conc3.5.8. As obtained results showed, the frequency of interactional markers is more in journalism rather than economics. One of the main marker of interactional markers that is Self-mentions have been also more frequently used which shows inappropriateness on part of scholars. On the other hand, interactive markers are more frequently used in economics rather than journalism. Similarly one of the interactive marker that is hedges have been also more frequently used which shows inappropriateness on part of scholars. The study highlights the importance of meta-discourse markers in academic writing and opens new horizon for academicians and researchers that they may focus on the importance of meta-discourse markers because they playa vital role in developing discourse produced by writers in any piece of literature.

Pupil lunches was one of the oldest social welfare projects in Greece. The purpose of school meals was to provide, either free of charge or for a small fee, mainly at noon, to the underfunded pupil, a hot and nutritious breakfast supplementary to daily nutrition, in response to the needs of his/her growing body and needs of school work. The consequences of malnutrition in childhood were known. Reducing the vitality and energy of the child, slowing down, decreasing their resistance to infections, mental lethargy, etc. Malnutrition in particular was to blame for tuberculosis. Student meals were, therefore, the basis of school perception and care, the most positive and effective measure to protect the health of sick and malnourished students, the strongest weapon of preventive care. And if they were of great importance before the war to school canteens, their value after the war for the restoration of the health of Greek children, who were severely tested by war and occupation, can be understood. The purpose of submitting this study to the academic community is to investigate and compare the institutional arrangements, processes, and ways in which the politics of student meals was formulated, organized and practiced in the Greek educational system during 1931 - 1935, 1936 - 1940 and 1941-1967.

Kullu region in western Himalayas has remained a place of curiosity, imagination and full of narratives due to several factors which are unique in its culture and religion. Its strange rituals, gods and goddesses, traditions remained a field of vast research since long time. Mohra that depicts the face of gods, goddesses, rishis and demons has equally generated curiosity amongst researchers where study done by AlkaHingorani presented a strong case of explorations we need to do on Mohras. Hence, this field survey was conducted in Banjar region to see the mohras lying in various temples of the region. The study tries to explore the depiction of gender and age in mohras along with indigenous elements present in its formative features. The study concludes with the observation that all these faces of gods, goddesses, rishis and demons are not only depiction of age and gender but also involves some level of creativity of workman who was assigned the job of make it. Their workshops where these mohras are being made form the basic center of this depiction.

This study presents the context of the Kenyan transitional justice process and scrutinises its objectives, the processes put in place to undertake TJRCs mandate, the political interference and controversies surrounding the TJRC Process, the submission of its final report to the President, and the implementation of the recommendations made in the report. The research findings demonstrate that victims and other stakeholders who were interviewed by the researcher felt that the commission‘s work did not effectively address the violations experienced by victims due to, among other reasons, structural limitations of the commission and political interferences, with the latter also relating to the final stage— implementation of the commission‘s recommendations—which has not been carried out. The article also presents the views of victims and other stakeholders concerning the inconsistencies in President Kenyatta‘s apology and the TJRC‘s recommendation for official apologies vis a vis the overall implementation of the TJRC report. The article then discusses how redress for the violations experienced by victims directly affects the socio-political stability of Kenya with adverse consequences for the success of the transitional justice system. Finally, the article presents a summary of the findings of the data collected through field research and discusses both the statistical and analytical presentation of the findings according to the research questions provided.

The development of international investment law in the last 50 years changed the paradigm of the standing before international law that individual investors have the right to directly institute investment claims even without having any contractual relationship with the host state. This non-privity nature of arbitration is more developed through a jurisprudence of arbitration tribunal adjudications. In this regard, the role played by ICSID is very pivotal. Among the jurisdictional basis of ICSID tribunals, the umbrella clause is one of the common bases of jurisdiction that frequently existed in the majority of Bilateral Investment Disputes. But, the heyday of this century seems not a time of both ICSID as well as umbrella clauses after 50 years' ups and downs of the development of international investment law. Two situations can be easily grasped. On the one hand, ICSID has now faced different critiques, such as lack of consistency of decisions and predictability, and on the other hand, the prominent umbrella clause also faced such inconsistency of application and interpretation before ICSID tribunals. The way outs employed by the stakeholders seems that reforming ICSID, and retreating from adopting the umbrella clause in BITS. Therefore, the paper argued that a centric approach should be adopted to heal out of the ill syndrome of the international investment legal regime and adjudication.

In the early Months of the year 2020, the wave of Covid-19 pandemic was strange to Nigerians. Covid-19 is a virus that originated from India in 2019. It was rapidly spreading globally. The most affected areas were: China, Europe, Israel, and United State of America, India and the Arab States. The outlook of its surge was lesser in some African countries especially Nigeria. The Federal Government of Nigeria quickly arrested the spread of the pandemic virus through practical measures such as: avoidance of public gathering, social distance keeping, wearing of Nose Mask, and washing of hands and use of hand sanitizer. Public worship in Churches was prohibited. Invariably Christians tend to be worshipping God at their homes due to fear of contacting the virus. This paper intends to investigate the backdrop of Christian faith amid the scourge of Covid-19 in Christian Worship in Nigeria. It would evaluate the extent the Christians demonstrated their faith amidst the stillness of the world due to pandemic of Covid-19 spread of virus. To delve into this qualitative descriptive research, I will utilize the methods of observation and structured interview with related Christian worshipers in Nigeria. The paper proffers validation of demonstrated Christian faith. It encourages Christians who are weak in their faith not to be discouraged but be firm in professing their faith in Christ. Covid-19 is to be accepted in faith. It has surfaced like any other virus like HIV AIDS and cancer which Christians must accept in faith.

The latter are discovered as lovers and objects of love, rights and duties holders. They are as well discovered as warriors and rulers. This article succeeds in revaluing the image of women by using some stereotypes that the society has attributed to them: woman-machine, woman-source of pleasure, and woman-producer.

Civil servants play a very important role in the state apparatus. Building a contingent of cadres and civil servants with sufficient capacity and moral qualities is one of the important requirements in building and perfecting the socialist rule of law state of Vietnam today. Inheriting Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the role, position and requirements of the contingent of cadres in the state, our Party identifies cadres as the decisive factor in the success or failure of the revolution, cadre work is the stage "key" of the Party building work and the political system. Building a contingent of cadres, especially strategic cadres at all levels, is the most important task, identified as the most important task of the Party. This must be done regularly, carefully, scientifically and rigorously, and at the same time must be effective. Investing in building staff is an investment for long-term and sustainable development. Therefore, on the issue of cadres and civil servants in the rule of law state, our Party has paid great attention and achieved many results in recent years. This article summarizes Ho Chi Minh's ideology on the role of the contingent of state officials and civil servants and the standards of quality and capacity of this contingent. At the same time, evaluate the achievements made in building the contingent of state civil servants in the current socialist rule of law state of Vietnam under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam.

Children are fragile beings that need protection. They are like exam blank papers which are graded according to the effort of candidates. The more effort parents put in educating their children the better future social members they are molding. This article grounded on an African world view shows that African children are well educated and protected by their mothers than fathers. This education and protection are mostly based on physical, behavioral, and mystical aspects of African women.

At the close of the twentieth century, J. K. Rowling published what was about to become an integral part of our popular culture and academic discourses. The phenomenal book series soon transformed into a powerful form of social text, as the British writer’s heptalogy undoubtedly contained thought-provoking themes in addition to representations of cultural normalcy. Scholars began to acknowledge that the Harry Potter novels were worthy of serious critical attention especially since their infiltration in the readers’ lives and imaginations gradually, but firmly, reached an international level. Nevertheless, there is still heated academic debate overthe author’s mastery of craft or literary merit and the unprecedented publishing success. Thus, we endeavor to apply a possible-world approach, through which J. K. Rowling’s fictional world in the Harry Potter books gains a valuable angle of exploration. We attempt to assert the aesthetic potential of the narrative, by investigating the internal structure of the textual universe, the development of the plotand the inter-world conflicts.

En el transcurso de la vida,una personaal vivir en sociedad, se enfrenta a diferentes situaciones propias de las relaciones de los seres humanos, sintiendo emociones de diversa naturaleza, que muchas veces le pueden hacer pensar, que mientras transcurre la vida, cada uno representa su propia obra de teatro. El Fútbol, como deporte popular, no sólo está arraigado a la cotidianeidad de la vida en sociedad, sino que perfectamente puede verse como una representación teatral,en una obra denominada“El Fútbol”.

Le printemps Arabe a été rendu possible par plusieurs facteurs à la fois internes et externes qui ne peuvent pas être dissociés de la volonté des peuples de briser le mur de la peur, des’affirmer pour faire valoir leurs droits et de s’insurger contre « la hogra » prééminente. Si ce vent de révolten’a pas eu raison dans l’immédiat de la résistance du pouvoir marocain, sa violence finit parfendre sa solide armure et la faire chanceler. Cet article tente d’analyser l’impact du printemps arabe sur le Maroc, les traits communs et les divergences entre les révolutions arabes à travers deux œuvres de deux auteures marocaines de l’extrême contemporain, deux intellectuellesque différencient l’âge et le milieu social dans lequel elles évoluent.

The long-term health of natural resources such as forests, water, and agroeco systems is dependent on traditional knowledge passed down through generations. The importance of traditional knowledge for conserving biodiversity is explored here, especially in light of recent studies on traditional and formal knowledge systems. In order to preserve the usefulness of old knowledge systems, I also look at them for the first time. I have discussed recent breakthroughs in local knowledge research and how they relate to the challenges that modern India faces, as well as how local knowledge might be leveraged to address biodiversity conservation issues in the country.

The Victorian Era may be seen as a real „age of madness‟ because after all, the study of the human mind was definitely established during that time, since new branches of medical science, psychology, neurology and sexology defined new type of disease ( for example mental conditions such as hysteria) and new patients as Anne-Julia Zwierlein points out. Those „new patients‟, in fact, no longer fit the old cliché of the dehumanized raving lunatic, they were, instead , proper Victorian ladies, a fact that both shocked and fascinated Victorian society. As Elaine Showalter writes, the appealing madwoman gradually displaced the repulsive madwoman, both as the prototype of the confined lunatic and as a cultural icon (Showalter). This strange „appeal‟ of the madwoman can also be observed in the era‟s cultural representations, especially its literature, from Collins‟ „Woman in White‟ to the ghostly „Miss Havisham‟ of Dickens, the images of deranged and deviant women seem to haunt the great English novels. Insanity and madness also appears in contemporary Neo-Victorian fiction, for example in Sarah Waters‟ lesbian version‟ of Victorian gothic and sensation fiction, her 2002 novel „Finger smith‟ in which the two female protagonists both become enmeshed in a complex plot, scheming to send each other to the madhouse. This example of female mental illness in Victorian era is represented in Waters‟ novels through the depiction of 19th century space and sexuality focused mainly on three heterotopias: the theatre, the women‟s prison and the private madhouse. Waters emphasizes structural failure in her representation of these spaces, by permitting her illegitimate characters to occupy other sites, including the home. Waters‟s work is chiefly concerned with the sexuality of her protagonists. Space is not usually central, however it has a high impact. For example, some critics discuss the lesbian identity of Nancy Astley, the heroine of „Tipping the Velvet‟, as it is depicted against the backdrop of 19th century London..

Among the various factors that contributed for the transformation of Kerala into a modern democratic society the role played by Sree Narayana movement was most significant. Realising that the political power was the master key to social progress, the leaders of the movement came into tacit understanding with non Hindus, made permutations and combinations with them to maintain and strengthen their position in the society. Through their protests, incessant conflicts and assertions, they succeeded in transforming the pyramidal social structure of Kerala into pillar structure. From the position of caste victims they could elevate themselves to the makers of their own destinies. They also succeeded in politicising the social relations. The philosophies and pragmatic approaches propounded by Narayana Guru for the material and spiritual advancement of the backward caste people of Kerala was found successful that contributed for the social transformation from structural relations to human relations and from caste hierarchical structure to interpersonal relations.

In poetry, fiction, and drama, death is considered as a central theme commonly used to elicit an emotional response in the reader or audience. Death often refers to the end of life and is frequently related to a loss and to emotional reactions such as mourning and sadness. In the Victorian age, death has been often the interest of writers and poets with a particular emphasis on the emotional aspects while in Modernism the depiction of death is less sentimental and more concrete and factual. This paper is a discussion of the differences between the representation of death in Victorian and Modernist poetry in relation to two poems that deal with death: A Death-Scene[1] by Emily Brontë and A Woman and Her Dead Husband[2] by D.H. Lawrence. The language adopted by the authors, the structure and rhyming arrangement of the poems, the contrasting use of imagery and figures of speech as well as the different approach to the representation of death are widely discussed.

The differences and similarities of the views on freedom, we realize through comparative analysis that this term does not freeze in one place over time, but changes with time and space. For this reason, it is necessary to use it in our article.It can be seen from the descriptions of the emergence and development of the concept of freedom in Western European philosophy that considerations of human freedom have permeated every facet of all periods of human history. With the emergence of the concept of individual freedom in Antient Greece, the ideas of destiny and choice were linked at the starting point. Historical and anthropological research has always provided us with evidence of our natural “free individual” - a sufficiently rare species and a local phenomenon. It required very specific special conditions for its emergence, and it can survive only if it maintains these conditions. The free individual is no longer a condition of the human race, but a product of history and society.

Intertextuality has gotten attention in literature as an intertextual tactic and from a pragma-stylistic stance, incense dramatic texts are so close to reality. The pragma-stylistic components of intertextuality in American drama are examined in this study. The main goal of this study is to investigate the intertextuality effect on literary communication by examining the elements that aid in the new author's ability to maintain the previous written image, as well as the parameters that measure his success in presenting his persona through his writing. To commence the aims of the current study and test its hypotheses, the following procedures are supposed: 1.Revising the literature about intertextuality in general and its pragma-stylistic nature in specific. 2.Plotting relevant pragmastylistic theories in relation to the nature of the three selected dramatic texts to establish a model that can be utilized in investigating the data under inspection. 3.Analyzing the data under inquiry by means of the eclectic model made for this purpose. A number of Findings have been reached at: Intertextuality in Dramatic texts is pragma-stylistically process achieved by means of intertextual speech acts, conversational maxims breaching, and stylistic strategies, which can be traced in four dialogue extracts in each of these dramatic texts "Mourning Becomes Electra", "An Enemy of the People", and "The Ballad of the Sad Café". It adopts various kinds of intertextuality. The study ends up by summing up the conclusions and presenting certain recommendations as well as suggestions for further studies.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an immense impact on the global economy and affected divergently to the world of work. Due to strict regional lockdowns, the food manufacturing and logistics activities have been suspended. Therefore, the firms’ management had to look at threats and opportunities in the environment and have begun implementing new business strategies and actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the companies that responded quickly to this crisis by formulating coping strategies showed strong sales growth. Hence, this study aims to uncover the coping strategies and actions adopted by Sri Lankan food manufacturing firms during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study has followed the qualitative research approach and is inspired by the interpretivism research philosophy. Five large-scale food manufacturing companies have been selected based on the purposive sampling technique. The authors were able to discern coping strategies pertaining to four core business processes. Temporary collaborations, redesigning the procurement, strategic investments in advanced technologies, introducing crisis inspiring innovations, rapid digital transformations, line simplifications and downsizing can be identified as some prominent strategies. With the Covid-19 outbreak, still there is a lack of research studies regarding the strategies adopted by different industries and none of the studies have previously investigated the crisis-coping strategies adapted by food manufacturers in developing economies like Sri Lanka. The findings of this study will be a useful insights for the management, when formulating efficacious strategies and policies to cope with inevitable future crisis and offers a groundwork for further empirical studies.

Folk art is a form of art which represents the cultural identity of a society, and is made by individuals without any formal training in art. In the Mithila region of Bihar, Madhubani painting is a folk art depicting Hindu style of painting that has now attained worldwide recognition. In its original form, it was used by women to decorate the walls and floors of their houses during the time of festivals, and to this date, it is mainly women from the Brahmin, Kayastha, and Dalit communities who practice this type of painting. Thus, there is a distinct social as well as gender stratification involved in Madhubani painting, and the present study tries to explore these issues and their social, economic, and cultural impacts on the society in general, and women in particular. The study would use both primary as well as secondary sources. Data related to different forms of folk art and their micro regional variations, socio-economic attributes etc. has been collected through primary survey that will include face to face interviews, focus group discussions, and in-depth observation. Based on these data, the study will try to assess the symbolic values of Madhubani painting as well as the role of sociocultural fabric of the geographic space within which it is located in the evolution and development of different styles of Madhubani painting in the region.

Student performance and consequently the access to higher education have been a means of improving the social status of individuals, while it was believed that the issues related to the reproduction of caste and social inequalities in Greece could be addressed. The study of access to tertiary education in Greece is the subject of this research work. At the end of the last class of the high school, i.e., the upper secondary school, general examinations are carried out in our country which, lead to some University Department. This work is intended to highlight the geographical dimension of the performance of secondary school pupils in order to achieve a post in higher education. For the needs of the work a spatial database in GIS environment was created from the performance of 72,619 students (1202 high schools) of the 3rd class of high school of the 2012-2013 school year.

Child abuse is usually only prominent with its physical, sexual, or mental dimensions, and the educational dimension, which is based on the educational neglect and exploitation of children, is ignored. In this context, deliberate directing and shaping of the child’s interests, needs and expectations, and the attempts of various stakeholders (such as parents, laws, culture, power authorities, capital groups, private enterprises, and interest groups) open the door to the educational abuse of the child. In this sense, the facts that the dominant classes use education systems to adapt their economic, social, political system and orientation, parents’ authority and interventions for their children’s educational and professional futures thus creating anxiety and pressure on the child, the expectation of the investment groups to raise individuals suitable for market dynamics from education by justifying the labor market and employment and the pressure for this, the educational activities of private enterprises to gain commercial earning by using the privatization ground in education, and the suppression of the child by the norms of the current culture through education and the expectation of adaptation or the provision of a curriculum for this can create an intervention in the child’s self or attitude of being himself/herself by destroying the individual expectations and originality of the child. For this reason, not seeing education as an element that liberates the individual spirit and a medium that gives the individual a chance to choose, and structuring individual preferences in a way that rumples the mind or directs individuals to various goals may cause the child to be abused in an educational sense.

Kinship is the essential premise of organizing individuals into social groups, roles, and categories. It serves as the premier universal and fundamental aspect of all human relationships and relies on blood and marriage ties. Hence, Kinship is vital to an individual and a community's well-being because different societies connote Kinship differently. They also set the rules governing Kinship, which are sometimes legally defined and sometimes implied. This paper focuses on the cultural approach to the study of Kinship. Somebody can explore the cultural approach to kinship study through David M. Schneider's powerful framework, American Kinship: A Cultural Account, published in 1968. It was a part of the more extensive debate on the nature of Kinship. It bore on the anthropological definition of Kinship, and it explains whether or not it was necessary to refer to Kinship's biological dimension. Schneider examined Kinship as a cultural system that is based on shared symbols and meanings. This type of analysis became known as the culturalist approach. He offered a two-part answer to the question of how North American culture defined a relative. The study is based on approximately 100 interviews. Two symbolic kinship orders included nature and the law. In terms of character, relatives shared natural, biogenetic substances as symbolized by the indigenous word 'blood.' In terms of regulation, relatives were persons who followed a particular code of conduct. North American Kinship involved an opposition between two sets of symbols, first being the kinship 'by blood,' which was material, permanent and inalienable, and the second one is the kinship 'by marriage,' based on a human imposed order and referring to morals, law, and custom.

Background: Various people in the world currently struggling from COVID-19 ongoing pandemic. Despite the high prevalence, studies on COVID-19 and its effect on the mental health of the people, its effect on Death Anxiety study are lacking in our country. People are suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, due to COVID. Many people lost their loved ones and facing trauma due to their loss, they are being self-isolated, which increases fear of death among the individuals. The increasing of COVID-19 pandemic is most serious problem in present, Vaccines are approved and 70% people are vaccinated now but still many active cases are present in country. Aim: Study was to assess the impact of COVID on the level of Death Anxiety of the individual, Researcher conducted the study by doing comparative study between Post-COVID diagnosed individual and Non-diagnosed individual. Methods: In study, sample has selected to match the study and help in achieving the purpose of the study. The researcher used quota sampling for the data collection, Data were collected online by the help of Google form by the help of Ex post facto research design using quota-sampling method. A sample of 60, 30 Post-COVID diagnosed and 30 Non-Diagnosed individuals of age group 20 to 55 years was selected for present research with the help of Death Anxiety Scale constructed by Dr. Upinder Dhar, Dr.Savita Mehta, Dr. Santosh Dhar. Statistical Techniques: Data were analyzed with the help of t-test. The statistical analysis of the research study was carried out by comparing the Post-COVID diagnosed individual to Non-diagnosed individual. Result: The calculated t-value exceeds the critical value (3.75>2.68). By conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be statistically significant. Hence, null hypothesis is rejected. Thus result reveals that post-COVID diagnosed individual have greater death anxiety than individual who haven’t been diagnosed with COVID. So it can be concluded that Post-COVID diagnosed individual are in constant fear of death because they have experienced it while the Non-diagnosed individual are safe so they don’t have fear of death due to COVID. Conclusion: To summarize, the findings of the obtained quantitative data by the help of experimental research on the “Effect of COVID-19 on the level of Death Anxiety of an individual” researcher examined that Post-COVID Diagnosed individual have greater death anxiety than the individual who haven’t diagnosed with COVID

Mothering is not unanimously a unitary relationship between mother and daughter while the concept and ideology of motherhood symbolizes a collective set of activities across cultures. It largely depends on social and cultural contexts framed by intertwining structures of race. Survival, power, and identity stand as the primary function of Black mothers besides nurturing, protecting, training, and transmitting cultural messages, traditions, and values. Redefinition of black womanhood leads to discovering new ways of understanding motherhood. Difference engenders multiplicity of resistance to varieties of domination. It is about difference within sameness. White mothers see staying at home as a misery and oppression while Black mothers feel blessed with stay at home motherhood for they can get rid of the unfavorable drudgery. Black mother-daughter relationship differs from that of Whites due to in justices of poverty, history of Slavery, and patriarchal oppression of racial and gendered domination and exploitation as Morrison depicts in her novels. Extracts from her novel The Bluest Eye are analyzed and interpreted here. White motherhood is constrained by patriarchal society while Black motherhood is exempted from its boundaries and limitations, liberated, and empowered by resisting against White patriarchal socio-cultural stance.

The Bosnian chardaklia is one of the most authentic achievements of traditional architecture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a residential building, it most fully reflects the housing culture of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian man, and his overall view of the world. The Bosnian house of čardaklija reached its classical stage of development in the 18th century, and the solutions reached will be maintained during the 19th and 20th centuries, in some places until today.Unlike the town hall (which in Bosnia and Herzegovina, similarly elsewhere in the world, was generated with more or less pronounced influences of other cultures), the Bosnian chardaklia house very directly reflects the natural environment of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the social environment (socio-economic relations, philosophy , religion, morals ...). Bosnia and Herzegovina is rich in forests, and this fact is directly reflected in the generation of the spatial concept of the house, its construction and materialization, where wood plays a key role. The application of wood in the creation of the Bosnian chardaklia house can be threatened by designing all its essential elements: foundations, walls, mezzanine structures, stairs, roofs, elements of openings (doors and windows) to surface treatment, both in the interior and exterior. The house of the Zaimovic family in Gornji Zovik near Brcko is an example of a Bosnian house of čardaklija whose owners are rich landowners (beys). The house presented here is part of a former residential complex consisting of several housing units: a house for male family members (selamluk), houses for female family members (haremluk-object presented here), guest houses (musafirhana), service houses and guards complex, fortified tower (watchtower). There are also a number of utilitarian facilities: two mills, a stable for horses, a well.

Some facets of anthropological understanding of religion as cultural symbols can be comprehended with the example provided by Clifford Geertz on the Balinese theatrical performance.He takes this example to elucidate how cultural performances, a term introduced by Singer, integrate the dispositional and conceptual aspects of religion. For the participants of these performances, Geertz observes these religious cultural recitals are a realization of their religion and their own life itself. This is especially apparent in how the performers and participants interact during the performance of the combat between “Rangda and Borang” symbolically a clash between malignant and comic. Here Geertz observes that participantsjoin the performance as supporting actors, this happens when the participant enters another realm apart from their commonplace existence,here they are possessed by one or the other demons. The untranced here controls excessive activities of the possessed by throwing holy water or chanting spells. Geertz cautions that although one may understand its meaning from myths associated with it, here importance is given to the state of trance. The characters of Rangda the witch and Borang the comical monster and their compact not only represents certain things but also depicts it. These performances justifyand accept the religious understanding of these symbols such as anger, fear,playfulness, etc. These state of trance and ritualistic performance urges believers to reflect upon their everyday reality.This is precisely where Geertz's major argument takes shape

Creating comfortable living conditions and maintaining proper technical conditions of the housing stock through the reconstruction of obsolete buildings is one of the key tasks of urban planning. Ukraine's lag behind other European countries in this regard can be explained by the imperfections in the legislations, the difficult economic situation, and the peculiarities of the legal status of housing ownership. To solve this problem a sociological survey in the form of a questionnaire was conducted. Data were analysed using nonparametric Chi-square tests and thematic analysis. The attitude to possible methods of reconstruction of obsolete housing stock depending on age, income level and form housing ownership was analysed. Regardless of the status, the respondents did not support the reconstruction without or without resettlement of residents to a temporary maneuver fund, inclining the relocation to new pre-built housing in the same area. The tendency to keep the area of residence, and not the apartment itself, was supported by the vast majority of respondents, regardless of status. The results of the study can be useful in preparing proposals for legal, financial, and organizational mechanisms for the implementation of programs and projects for the comprehensive reconstruction of obsolete housing.

In this 21st century, we made a lot of progress in all fields. But also this progress could not save us from the ill effects of pandemic COVID-19. All the sectors were badly hit including education leading to the closure of schools, colleges, and other institutions of learning. It was done to maintain social distancing to avoid the spread of the pandemic. So a complete shutdown was observed leading to disruption of education and hence hampering the teaching and learning of the students. In such tumultuous times online learning, e-learning was the only rescuing method of teaching as there was no physical interaction between the teacher and the taught. So the whole world including India opted for e-learning utilizing the benefits of any time, anywhere offered by the employment of such technology to keep the process of teaching and learning going. In the wake of the pandemic, many institutions opted for virtual classrooms in one form or the other via the internet. So this paper conceptualizes virtual classrooms, their need in such times, their synchronous and asynchronous modes of course delivery, their components which include whiteboards, audio and video, instant messaging and feedback mechanism as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
