Effect of 4 Week Expiratory Muscle Strengthening On Exercise Induced Breathlessness In Normal Adults - An Experimental Study[ ]


In a country like India, having a population of 1.3 billion, it is declared second in the list of most populated countries in the world(1). However, with this population rate, only a handful amount to a normal healthy population(2). Even though considering them to be normal, at times, even these healthy individuals complain of problems like headache, dizziness, anxiety, stress, nausea, breathlessness and general weakness. Which, in turn, reflects the in general endurance of the individual (3).

The problems of communication in English and identifying the needs of the employers in acquiring English language communication[ ]


English is used for communicating with foreigners at the workplace because English is accepted as the medium of international communications in four skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing. At the workplace, the act of communication can take place in various situations. The problems of communication in English can occur. The miscommunication between native and non-native speakers may be caused by a different interpretation of the sentence caused by the way of thinking and expressing ideas.

T. S. Eliot’s Philosophy, Religion and Values of Old Nihilism in his Poetry[ ]


Critics have left the influence of old nihilism on T. S. Eliot’s poetry largely unexplored, an idea that necessitates further inspection because it provides a consistent pre-and-post-conversion current that accounts for his propensity to see empty spaces as fruitful. Dispensing with a framework that silos Christian conversion from philosophy, I interrogate images of empty space in Eliot’s poetry and show that he views nothingness as generative in The Hollow Men and extending to the Four Quartets, effectively spanning most of his literary career.

TOM ROBBINS’ NEW SENSIBILITY & METAFICTIONAL TECHNIQUES IN ‘FIERCE INVALIDS HOME FROM HOT CLIMATES’[ ]


Tom Robbins is a representative of the so-called “hippie narrative” stream of authors who emerged in 1960s America and marked a changing spirituality in America. His novels are full of eccentric characters and absurd situations. He uses metafictional techniques to subvert the traditional norms in society and parodies subjects such as religion or politics. In his novels he uses amusing metaphors and similes, especially in his novel Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates.

The need to regulate private security in Zambia[ ]


Lack of regulations laws in Zambia that regulate the Private Security is a critical threat to security of Zambia. This paper argues that Zambia is one of those few countries that does not have a comprehensive legal structure to regulate the private security industry. It only depends on the international and national approaches to private security, with a view of providing guidance for an effective framework capable of addressing security threats.

Electricity Generated by Sound Energy Based on the Soundelectric Effect[ ]


An expression is derived for the soundelectric effect for the material. Since the sound wave is the mechanical vibration having oscillation of pressure. There are two pressure acting in the metal surface that reduces the work function much lower such that sound wave can have to full fill the soundelectric effect with the positive kinetic energy of ejected electron. These two are external pressure and pressure created by particle vibration of sound wave both acting inward pressure.

The Human Rights' dynamics in the African Cities[ ]


Human Rights means a possible utopia of humankind and an integral part of the Rule of Law. It entails processes through which human dignity, rights and liberties are preserved. There is strong evidence in the literature to show that human rights goes beyond a simple moral claim to an integrated value and legal principles that governs the political, social and economic relations between people and the states. The objective of this paper is to explore the meaning of the right to the city in relation to human rights and, how the right to the city is claimed. We analyse the relationship between citizens, human rights and the state politics. The first part discusses the theory and practices of human rights (the philosophical foundation of human rights), its fundamental contradictions, fragilities and ambiguities, as well as the status of citizenship. The second part discusses the theories and the architecture of the modern state and its dynamics in the African cities. We arrive at the point that significant progress was made in the field of human rights and the state politics across the globe. However, the neoliberal model yet plays an important role in shaping the political environment in Africa.

Mathematical model of the early incidence and spread of COVID-19 in Nigeria combined with control measure[ ]


This study shows the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 in Nigeria using a S-I-R model for a none constant population. The simplicity of the model allows for more use of estimated than assumed parameters in our computations. The available statistical information regarding COVID-19 in Nigeria from its date of arrival till 30th of March 2020 (22:00 WAT) was used to estimate some parameters, understand and predict the spread of the virus. The disease free and the endemic equilibrium points were obtained. The stability of the disease free equilibrium was investigated using Jacobian transformation. The analysis carried out using the estimated parameters showed that the disease free equilibrium point is stable.

A clinician's perspective on emerging concepts in Osteoarthritis[ ]


Osteoarthritis as a disease that has been known since man assumed bipedal status. Superimposed on epidemic of obesity, it is expected to become the fourth most common cause of disability in elderly(1). For many years it has been classified under non-inflammatory conditions and was described as disease caused by ‘wear and tear’ until the recent research into genomics followed by proteomics, made it clear that OA is much more than a simple aging process(1, 2). It involves not only the cartilage, but also the bone, synovium, ligaments and muscles.

An Observational Study to Understand the Attitude of Elderly towards Communication and Education Technology, in New Delhi, India[ ]


Globally there is a rapid growth of population aged 65 years and above. The pace of the ageing population is much faster in developing countries, like India, as compared to developed countries. This demographic change will increase demand for aged care services in the future in India and hence will require increased use of technology to deal with increasing demand for long term elderly care. It is very important for the developers of technology for elderly care to understand the attitude of elderly towards the technology in India before introducing technology at large scale.
