Ground water is increasingly being sought as a source of drinking water due to the scarcity, non-availability and bacteriological pollution of surface water. This paper deals in the physico-chemical characteristics of the ground water samples of tube wells of ten villages in Sardarsahar Tahsil (Churu) of Rajasthan State. The different parameters determined are pH, TDS, fluoride, chloride, total alkalinity and total hardness. It has been observed that all values are higher compared to APHA (American public Health Association), AWWA (American water work Association) and WPCF (1975). Other parameters were found within desirable limits. The high value of these parameters may have health implications, so, this ground water is not good for health and therefore, needs attention.

With entrance spirituality and God to management and Organization field, as 21st century challenge, organization’s managers and leaders must confront with new phenomena.

Evaluate retrospectively, in a homogeneous series of patients with synovial sarcoma of the limbs, the different steps of the management of this disease, the diagnosis and the therapeutic difficulties. This is a retrospective study of 20 cases of synovial sarcoma of the limbs treated in orthopedic surgery department at Ibn Sina university hospital and in the National Institute of Oncology Rabat, between January 2000 and December 2012. 20 cases of synovial sarcoma of the limbs were collected of which 12 were localized in the lower limb and 8 localized in the upper limb. The mean age was 45 years with a male predominance. The patients consulted after an average period of 18 months and tumoral syndrome was the constant reason for consultation. All the patients were treated surgically, except the 4 cases with lung metastases. After an average follow-up of 48 months, 10 patients are alive, 5 died and 5 are lost of view. Because of their rarity, the diversity of their histological types and their localization, synovial sarcoma presents problems at every stage of their management. Identification of specific chromosomal translocations is a great advantage in their diagnosis. Multidisciplinary approach is mandatory in their management.

The crystal structure of the new inorganic-organic hybrid compound [4-OCH3C6H4CH2NH3]2[CdCl4] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with lattice parameters a = 19.007(2), b = 7.3410(8), c = 7.4451(8) Å, , ? =97.222(1)°, V = 1030.59(19) Å3, and Z = 2. The framework of the title compound is built upon layers parallel to (100) made up from corner-sharing [CdCl6] octahedra. 4-methoxybenzylammonium cations are situated between the layers and connect them via an N-H…Cl hydrogen-bonding network. The Cd atom is located on an inversion centre and the coordination environment is described as distorted octahedra. Solid state 13C CP-MAS NMR spectroscopy is in agreement with the X – ray structure. DFT calculations allow the attribution of the carbon peaks to the independent crystallographic sites. Thermal analysis and Infrared spectroscopy were also used to characterize the complex.

Designing a model that can measure the organizational maturity level in the range of IT and related requirements across the enterprise before any action and answer concerns raised before any action completely transparent, the effectiveness of the measures taken would be certainly very useful and effective. Also, in recent decades, IT is upheld with almost all aspects of our lives, especially professional working life. The use of information technology in various fields, and the rapid growth of the use of computers in organizations to assess and acceptance and rejection of IT in organizations has particular significance so that IT's role in achieving an organization's strategic development objectives has been discussed. The research method used in this research is descriptive survey and the type of applied research. The statistic population, are experts in the field of information technology and sampling in this study was non-random sampling (100 experts from the organization). Because of the variable quality of the Friedman ANOVA test was used to test hypotheses and SPSS software was used for data analysis. In general, here we have tried to evaluate the impact of IT organizational maturity and organizational maturity model for assessing the success or failure of the organization's IT group. Reliability and internal consistency reliability test was 0/731. And the results suggest that organizational maturity of the success and failure of information technology is impressive.

There is a controversy over providing error correction feedback on L2 writing. Some researchers propose that it should be totally abandoned. Other researchers claim that the basis for the proof of these studies is insufficient and further investigation is required. In this research, it was examined whether the type of corrective feedback (direct, explicit writing feedback along with student-teacher conferencing; direct, explicit writing feedback alone; no corrective feedback) on three types of error (prepositions, the past simple tense, and the definite article) had any significant effect on writing accuracy of Iranian university students. For this purpose, 60 university students majoring in English Language Teaching were selected and they were separated into three groups. Each group was exposed to a distinct corrective feedback. The study found significant effect for the application of the first corrective feedback (direct, explicit written and conference feedback) on students’ writing accuracy in the case of past simple tense and the definite article. But these feedback types had no significant effect on writing accuracy when the three error types were considered as a single group.

Because of the importance and necessity of self-esteem and communicational skills and their effects on teenagers, daily relations with each other, a omni lateral study of the factors could be efficient in training and educational matters of students with hearing impairments. The study mainly aims to confirm the effect of training communicative skills on self-esteem of deaf and partially deaf teenagers. The research method is experimental, and the plot is pre-test and post-test with control group. The statistical community includes 65 female high school students at craft and technology 24-hours deaf and hard of hearing school in Amol city in 2012-2013 raining 15-20 years of age. From the community, a 30- students sample was randomly taken and divided into two experimental and control group with 15 students in each. To collect data, cooper smith's self-esteem test was used. The experimental group under took six 1-hour communicative skills trainings, each weak for amount. The results showed that the training had a positive effect on impaired students at P=0.000 level. So, it is concluded that training communicative skills is an efficient method in increasing self-esteem in teenagers with hearing impairments.

It is often perceived that we have advanced as a Nation due to Westernization, but taking a closer look at it, one discovers that the Igbo people have been enslaved without their knowledge to adopt Western culture of injustice, disobedience, bribery, corruption and so on at the expense of their rich cultural heritage that promotes communal living, hard work, truthfulness and justice. Though Westernization emancipated the people from cruel practices but it ought not to wean them away from their culture. Therefore, to extricate the culture from extinction, the Igbo people need to retrace their steps and cease from neglecting the culture, but rather, welcoming it back from the long years of negligence, compensating it with quality appreciation as we discover the rich beauty inherent in it.

The dislocation of people from familiar place and customs leads to the shattering of their feelings of belongingness and identity. Women suffer more as the patriarchal set up not only ignores their sufferings due to the dislocation but also has customs and traditions that treat woman as property and exploit, suppress and marginalize them.

Students’ satisfaction has become an essence of success in today’s highly competitive world. In service industry specifically the education industry, communication is vital to determine students’ satisfaction. Past researches indicated that, most meaning of conversational messages comes from non-verbal communication. Therefore, this study intended to examine the relationship of non-verbal communication cues to students’ satisfaction. A total of 300 respondents were sampled from all around UiTM Kedah. They were evaluated on their perception on lecturers’ non-verbal communication behavior that would lead to their satisfaction to the services provided. The results of the study illustrate that three of the non-verbal communication cues were significant and positively related to students’ satisfaction. Kinesics and paralanguage was rated as among the non-verbal communication cues that provided the most impact on students’ satisfaction. However the result also indicated that there was no significant relationship between physical appearances of the lecturers to the students’ satisfaction. Overall, students’ in UiTM Kedah are fairly satisfied with the non-verbal communication cues of the lecturers. The present study caters for a wide spectrum of students and development professionals, especially those who are interested in non-verbal communication related issues. It is highly hoped that the information gleaned from the present study may assist all service employees specifically in understanding better, the importance of non-verbal communication and its effects on students’ satisfaction.
