ABSTACT The Bhalswa Landfill site is located in the northwestern part of Delhi and it is the capitals largest landfill site, which receives approximately 2700 tons of waste material every day. The landfill has already reached to its full extend in 2006, but due to population increase and no alternative site, Delhi is still using it as a dumping ground. The people residing near the site are suffering from various health problems and spontaneous fires are becoming more frequent during summer seasons. The ground water is highly contaminated in the area. The Remote Sensing and GIS techniques are very used full in analyzing the changes and show spatial effect on both human being and the environment. The result of this study indicates that there is a population increase in these areas and the health problems are becoming a serious problem, which can only be tackled by using good combustion practices by the way of incineration technology.

ABSTRACT The present study was designed to explore the association of organizational role stress of the parents with the selfhandicapping among their children. The study included 100 children 50 each in the high stressed and low stressed group taken one child from one family on the bases of their mother, father and both together (parents) having high and low organizational role stress. The standardized tools of Organizational Role Scale, Loneliness and Self- handicapping were applied in the present study using t- test and correlation as a statistical measure to analyze the observations. The result demonstrated the significant difference between the loneliness and self handicapping of the children with respect to the organizational role stress of their parents and further revealed the positive association of the organizational role stress with the loneliness and self handicapping of their children i.e. Higher the organizational role stress of the parents, higher the loneliness and self handicapping among their children and vice versa. However, require further investigations.

ABSTRACT Electronic learning has become one of the fastest-moving trends in education and poses a promising alternative to traditional learning. The study aimed to design, implement and evaluate the effect of using an electronic course on undergraduate nursing students` satisfaction and academic achievement in course of ethical and legal issues in nursing. Quasi-experimental design was utilized to achieve the aim of the study. The study was conducted at Faculty of Nursing- Cairo University. Data were collected from January 2016 to July 2017. Four tools were designed to achieve the aim of the study; as follows: computer skills assessment; an electronic course in ethical and legal issues in nursing; student's satisfaction with electronic course questionnaire and the course`s GPA auditing checklist. The study sample was a randomly selected (105) students be the experimental group who achieved the inclusion criteria and the control group that included (263) students. The results of the study revealed that, according to experimental group students` satisfaction with e- course; the mean percentage of total students` satisfaction with e-course was (98.5%). According to the difference between experimental and control groups students regarding pre-test, immediate post-test and final exam of the course, there is highly statistical significance difference between experimental and control groups regarding their pre-test (t= - 7.41,P = 0.00) and immediate post- test (t= 29.47,P = 0.00) of the course. While, there is statistical significance difference (t= 2.37,P = 0.02) between experimental and control groups regarding final exam. The study recommended that, at the level of the electronic ethical and legal issues in nursing course; encourage its use at the postgraduate level and at the other faculties of nursing level. At the level of faculty, working on more production and application of other e-courses in different disciplines.

ABSTRACT The establishment of the Special Administrative Regions in Hong Kong and Macau represented the new era of Chinese history that, the implementation of “One Country, Two Systems” were really implemented. Civic education signified these policies of the intentions of the authorities conducted. This paper gives these analyses of civic education policy. The study was done through historical, comparative analysis of civic education policy in Hong Kong and Macau, with the context of the two territories after the sovereignty handover and the interim of governance being crucial. These two territories’ comparative study can conclude that, national identity and patriotic education are adopted, but these do not always be implemented effectively. Civic education policies in Hong Kong and Macau are compared and the most effectual reason of policy initiation is the factor aroused historically.

ABSTRACT Land area for rice cultivation in North Sulawesi, which rely on rain water is approximately 25.792 ha. Therefore, regulation in water-saving procedure is necessary. There are two varieties of rice: suluttan insert 1 and solution, insert 2 which were produced by the researchers of BATAN and Unsrat, that were good in result and growth performance. The aim of this research was to study the effect of irrigation system in water-saving settings for the growth and production of rice varieties salutation UNSRAT 1 and solution UNSRAT 2. This Research was conducted in a randomized block design with factorial experiment. The variable factor G1: suluttan UNSRAT 1 and G2: suluttan UNSRAT 2 and input patterns of water factor: muddy condition from transplanting until harvest (P1); Flooding condition with 5-7 cm high water from the transplanting until harvest (P2) and intermittent condition: muddy condition after transplanting up to 30 days; 10 days flooding 5-7 cm and after that muddy condition until harvest (P3). There is no interaction between varieties and patterns of irrigation water in continuous and intermittent muddy condition does not suppress the growth and yield of rice varieties Sultan Unsrat 1 and 2. The water savings can occur in rice cultivation with continuous muddy irrigation pattern or intermittent muddy condition. Flooding irrigation pattern of excessive use of water.

ABSTRACT Attempt was made to observe the seasonal variation of phytoplankton population along with some parameters on water quality of Jhagrasisa bheri, one of the wetlands in East, Kolkata, during 2012-2013 where the annual planktonic population ranged between 5,666.4 and 67,777.7 u/l with a mean value of 23,762.6 u /l. The observed phytoplankters are within 21 genera belonging to 5 class voice, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Euglenophyceae and Xanthophyceae. Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae are the dominant among all forms contributing 56.86 and 40.64% respectively of the total population in the ecosystem. The peak abundance of phytoplankton was registered during post-monsoon with a mean of 26,310.73 u/l, while the lower population was encountered in monsoon, mean value being 21,393.38 u/l. Among all groups, Euglenophyceae represented minimum population during the study period, showing 0.55% towards the annual value.

ABSTRACT The present investigation revealed that, candies treated with R3 (80 % sugar solution + 1 % citric acid) showed maximum TSS (80.79 ºBrix) and total sugar content (98.22%), whereas, the maximum titrable acidity (1.29%) and ascorbic acid content (25.30%) were observed in R1 (60 % sugar solution + 1 % citric acid). The chemical characteristics like TSS, titrable acidity, ascorbic acid and total sugar content were obtained maximum intreatmentD1 (Sun drying) in the candies in her during the entire storage periods. The treatment combination R3D1 (80 % sugar solution + 1 % citric acid and sun drying) recorded to have higher total sugar content (99.88%), whereas the paramount TSS (80.83 and 80.83 ºBrix) and titrable acidity (1.30%) were recorded in treatments (R3D2 and R3D3) and R1D1, respectively.
