Organizational Ethics Based on the Islamic Management
In recent years, what matters most is due consideration given to ethics and social obligations on the issues like organization and management. Increasing importance of ethics in the world of organizations denotes crisis in ethics; environmental pollution; betraying propaganda; unfair wages, tax evasion; administrative corruption and crimes committed by the organization are increasingly augmented. This looks as if there might be no end ever envisaged to corruption and bribery in the states, legislatures and judiciary and security forces. Armament and ammunition organizations, wars and military budgets are growing day by day; however, capability of the existing weaponry outpaces the armament required to destroy the globe. Yet, what reasons truly stand behind such illegal and unethical behavior in organizations? What is origin of the problems? How can the organizations prevent from such acts by using the religious teachings? This article has tried to present strategies in response to the above questions through reviewing the current notions and using the religious teachings.

Recurrence of Romantic Aesthetics in Classicist Writings: A Survey of British Classical Poetry
Traditionally, classicism and romanticism are conceived as peculiar and mutually exclusive literary movements with distinct literary styles and stylistic characteristics. This paper aims to trace some prominent writing traits of the Romantic era like spontaneity, preoccupation with imagination and subjectivity and focus on highlighting emotions and feelings in poetry as evident in the works of poets writing before the Romantic era. A close examination and in-depth reading of selected works showed that romantic traits are not confined to the Romantic era only but also appear to be recurring in the writings of Chaucer, Spenser and other poets who were writing much before Wordsworth proposed the characteristics of romantic poetry in The Prelude. This study, therefore, traces romantic traits in the works that do not fall into romantic era chronologically.

Social Factors of place and creating attachment to the dormitory (A case study: Semnan University dormitory)
Place attachment is one consequence of ‘human interacting with place’ that creates a meaningful and acceptable space for the person experiencing it. Living separated from their families and losing parts of social capital causes a sense of loneliness and lack of attachment to the new environment of dormitory among students. In this analytical-descriptive research social factors influential on place attachment have been conducted. The results show that there is a significant relation between social factors and place attachment. Personal territory, facilitated social interactions, private space and security in the stated order are the main social factors impactful on creating place attachment.

Study on Teratogenic Effects of Bhavana Panjankula Thailam, Using Chick Embryo as a Model System
ABSTRACT Teratogenicity is the ability to cause developmental anomalies in fetus. Substances with teratogenicity effects can damage the DNA of a developing foetus. They may cause abnormal development of a limb malformation of an organ and the effects for the developing fetus can vary depending on the teratogen. Chicken eggs are used as a model system to test Bhavana panjankula thailam for its Teratogenic effect. Bhavana panjankula thailam is one of the Siddha drugs indicated for karuppachudu (a type of pitha disorder affecting uterus), urinary tract infections, dry skin and constipation. In this study five concentrations of drug Bhavana panjankula thailam were injected into the chicken embryos. Cadmium is used as a positive control in the same concentrations which affects limb deformities of the organ. 1:1 ratio of cadmium and drug were injected into the embryo for scrutinize the effect of drug. At the 12th day of incubation the eggs were dissected out and detect the malformation in the embryo. The results suggested that the lowest concentrations cof drug treated embryo has no malformation and highest concentrations of drug treated embryo has malformed like heart and other organs are distorted. The DNA was isolated from embryos of chick and run in agarose gel electrophoresis to confirm the DNA damage. cOCT4 and cGATA4 genes which is responsible for chick embryogenesis. GATA and OCT family of transcriptional regulatory proteins, GATA-4 and OCT-4 thought to be involved in the regulation of cardio genesis and gut development. Functions for these factors are known in the heart, but relatively little is implicit concerning their possible roles in the regulation of gut-specific gene expression. In this study, we analyzed the expression of cGATA-4, and cOCT4. Further gene expression studies will be carried out for further authentication of teratogenic effect at gene level. Though the Bhavana panjankula thailam was shown teratogenic effect at the higher dose. So detailed animal studies and clinical trials should be carried out for apposite remedy. KEYWORDS: Teratogenicity, bhavana panjankula thailam, chick embryo, DNA damage.

Surgical site infection and antibiotic prophylaxis in mesh repair open inguinal hernia
To study surgical site infection and effect of antibiotic pro phylaxis in mesh repair of inguinal hernia. Comparative study. Department of Surgery, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences Hospital, Jamshoro/Hyderabad from March 2011 to July 2013. One hundred diagnosed cases of inguinal hernia were studied selected through non-probability purposive sampling according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups; Group I. mesh repair with antibiotic prophylaxis (n=50) and Group II. Mesh repair without antibiotic prophylaxis (n=50). Antibiotic prophylaxis was given 60 minutes before surgical procedure. Surgical procedure was conducted by a consultant general surgeon or senior registrar. The surgical site infection (SSI) was defined as wound infection that developed within thirty days of surgery. Data was analyzed on SPSS version 21.0. The continuous and categorical variables were analyzed by student`s t-test and chi-square test respectively. The significant p-value was taken at ? 0.05. The mean +/- S.D of study population of both groups was noted as 39+/- 10.4 and 41.5+/- 11.0 years (p=0.09). All the subjects were male with age range of 20-60 years. The frequency of surgical site infection (SSI) in group I (antibiotic prophylaxis) was 6% (n=3) compared to group II (without antibiotic prophylaxis) was 22% (n=11) with highly significant p-value (p=0.001). Statistically significant differences were noted for the complications like; serous discharge, seroma, erythema and stitch abscess. The surgical site infection in mesh repair open inguinal hernia was higher in present study than internationally reported incidence. The antibiotic prophylaxis reduces morbidity in mesh repair open inguinal hernia.

Synthesis of cadmium selenide nanoparticles by wet chemical method
Nanotechnology deals with various structures of matter having dimensions of the order of a billionth (1x10-9) of a meter. In recent years nanotechnology has become one of the most important and exciting forefront fields in physics, chemistry, engineering and biology. Particles which are smaller than the characteristic lengths associated with particular phenomena often display new chemistry and physics, leading to new behavior which depends on the size. So, for example, the electronic structure, conductivity, reactivity, melting temperature and mechanical properties have all been observed to change when particles become smaller than a critical size. Nanotechnology is expected to enable environmentally friendly mass production at low cost. It is also expected that nanotechnology will prove to be useful in the development of light and strong materials, biomedical materials pharmaceutical materials and multifunctional intelligent materials. Many important nanostructures are composed of the group IV elements Si or Ge, type III-V semiconducting compounds such as Ga As, or type II-VI semiconducting materials such as CdS, CdSe, so these semiconductors materials will be used to illustrate some of the bulk properties that become modified with incorporation into nano-structures.

The ascorbic acid contents of five green leafy vegetables stored in refrigerator, freezer and sun-dried for five days: 1
Five green leafy vegetables (Basella alba, Vernonia amygdalina, Talinum triangulare, Manihot esculenta and Corchorus olitorius) were analysed for their moisture, crude protein and ascorbic acid contents. The vegetables were earlier differently sun-dried, stored in the refrigerator and stored in the freezer for five days each before the ascorbic acid contents were determined. Moisture and crude protein were high in all the samples. The between the sample variations in the ascorbic acid contents were high in the fresh (zero day) with values ranging from 234 mg/100 g (recorded in T. triangulare and C. olitorius) to 1041.3 mg/100 in g V. amygdalina. The highest between the day variations in the values of each sample were recorded in the samples kept in the freezer (45.7 % -131.3 %) but lowest in the sun-dried samples (23.6 %-75.7 %); the rate of value change per sample per day also followed this observed trend. The ascorbic acid values in the sun-dried samples were significantly different at p ? 0.05. The percentage loss of ascorbic acid contents in the five days was found to be sample as well as storage condition dependent.
