The present study is carried out to examine the effects of rotation and Hall current on unsteady natural convection flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past an impulsively started vertical plate in a porous medium under the influence of transversely applied uniform magnetic field. Exact solution of energy equation is obtained in closed form by Laplace transform technique, and solution of momentum equation is obtained by defining a complex variable. The expression for the shear stress at the plate due to the primary and secondary flows is obtained. The results obtained are shown by graphs and table.

This paper discusses the plight of the writing spirit among African ruling political elites. This plight is historically situated and it is subjected to a comparative perspective. While it is not the view of the author that writing is always the most effective means that can be used by political leaders to communicate with the public, communicating with the public through writing is one of the useful information transferring tools that ought not to be ignored. Through a trend analysis, the paper observes that unlike most of first African heads of state and governments who were keen to academic writing most of contemporary African leaders have lost interest in writing, with only a handful of leaders still involved in academic scholarship. Some of the factors that are attributed to this decline include; lack of ideological backing, the growing sense of insecurity among political leaders, the transformation of ruling parties and the influence of financial donors, just to mention some.

This study empirically investigates the extent of relationship between accounting information system and performance of selected companies in Nigeria. A total of 140 questionnaires were administered out of which 128 respondents returned theirs which represents 91% response rate considered adequate for this study. The Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient statistical technique was employed for this study and used to test the hypotheses. The two hypotheses tested in this study revealed that accounting information has a significant relationship with the performance of companies in Nigeria. Based on this finding, the study recommends that Companies should constantly embrace the ever unfolding trend in accounting information systems as it is capable of enhancing the performance of companies. Since Accounting and Finance Departments are the two key departments which are the sources through which accounting information is implemented and used for effective and efficient management of finances of every company, management should organize regular training and re-training of the staff and expose them to the current demand and realities of accounting information systems. Keywords: Accounting information system, Performance of Companies.

This research examines the impact involving macroeconomic variables like inflation, real exchange rate and interest rate on GDP of Pakistan within the light involving 32 year time series data from 1980 to 2011. Research was a secondary data based, Descriptive statistics and multiple regression investigation was used to analyze the information. Econometric model used by analysis was comprised of GDP seeing that dependent variable even though the independent factors were interest rate, exchange rate and inflation rate. Data taken from intending for these variables through the website of the State Bank of Pakistan in addition to the World Bank. The individual significance of the variables, overall value and fairness of the econometric model analyzed. The study found that there's a significant effect of inflation rate, interest rate and exchange rate of GDP. So far as the indicators of co-efficient are concerned, the inflation rate interest rate had a negative impact on GDP while exchange rate possessed positive relation to GDP. Based on the results and analysis it is suggested that the Government adopted tight monetary policy due to inflation because the results suggest that inflation provides significant effect but negative relation to GDP. In the case of developing countries like the Pakistan quality value of the exchange rate must be maintained since the results show that there's a considerable and constructive impact involving exchange rate with GDP. Ceiling of interest rate should reduce to boost the economy.

Indian criminal courts have always troubled with idea of punishing ‘attempts’ of crime. The troubled water which includes offence and attempt to commit such offence are so inter-woven that any attempt to separate them is not only difficult but also theoretically dangerous. The question of defining attempt is not that simple, particularly offence attempt to commit rape. The limits of theories prescribing explanations for punishing attempts are miserably failed when they are applied on offence of attempt to commit rape. The work is to explore the limits of these theories and how due lack of such theories often blunders are committed by courts including apex court of this country.
