Language is the means of communication among people. Gilaki language is an ancient and living Caspian language, and a member of the northwestern Iranian language branch, spoken in Iran’Gilan province. Gilaki is one of the branches of Pahlavi Ashkani language i.e. Parti, which is spoken in the north of Iran and the south parts of the Caspian Sea. Gilaki language and English language are included in the Indo-European branch of languages in language classifications. In this paper similar vocabularies in Gilaki and English languages are investigated. Among found vocabularies, some are completely similar both in terms of phonetic and semantic; some are semantically similar but phonetically different and some are phonetically similar but semantically different. And finally some words have slight differences both phonetically and semantically.

Porter's five forces framework of strategic management is one of the most influential. Due to the increasing need for organizations to define, evaluate the strategies before deciding, in this study we decided to go to these forces. The purpose of this study using the analytic network process for applying Porter's five forces model. Overcome the limitations of the model through improvements to the analysis of the conditions and requirements for Effective prioritization of the five forces and forces them to create a competitive situation with regard to the dependence of industrial or competitive conditions in the industry It may be better to use force and effect and the degree and severity of dependence are associated with the identified sub-force And to create an overall competitive position of the industry (SICI) adopted strategic decisions with greater confidence. The objective of this study will be needed on how to obtain the data, descriptive (non-beta) and its correlation. The study population includes managers and experts Pegah products which may ultimately total of 85 people. Given the above, the results of analytic network process (ANP) and SICI in question show that, in industry and studied the bargaining power of suppliers of utmost importance and organizations to deal with this threat to the integration strategy return them.

Routing protocols govern the prime path for data communication amongst network nodes. These protocols are employed once there is a major growth in organisations were, static routes are uncontrollable. Distance vector routing protocols which is one of the two main routing protocols for communication uses data packets sent over Internet Protocol (IP). This routing protocols are classified into Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). They are dynamic Internet Gateway Protocols (IGPs) which route packets within one Autonomous System (AS). However, RIP is considered an effective solution for small homogeneous networks. An organisation who needs to expand its network cannot use the RIP due to its limitations of fifteen hop counts. This problem has been a major concern in corporate organisations which hence the need for an improved distance vector routing protocol. EIGRP although, is a Cisco proprietary protocol based on Diffused Update Algorithm (DUAL) was introduced in this research to serve as an extension to an organisation’s network. Packet flowing from RIP network interface if exhausted its maximum hop count, can re-route its packet through EIGRP network interface. With this improvement, organisations have no worries of changing the entire routing protocol.

Respiratory disease incidence can be closely associated with designs of windows and lighting aspects in relation to some house structure dimensions. The aim was to compare the levels of respiratory disease incidences with the lighting designs at the study area, namely Gadamoji Division of the hilly Marsabit subcounty, an Arid and Semi-arid area, Kenya. To form a basis for comparison, rural appraisal tools were used to gather domestic health information from which, the position and extent of respiratory conditions were determined. Using similar tools for the same sampling units, data on housing design and lighting design were collected. Data were analysed using comparative techniques. The study categorized four major housing designs, four major designs of indoor lighting systems and three main sources of lighting fuels. Results showed that respiratory disease incidences were higher in traditional households and households which utilized wood fuel and kerosene in can lamps and lanterns respectively.

In this letter, the fractional modified decomposition method has been implemented for solving nonlinear sine-Gordon equation of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. In these schemes, the solution constructed in power series with easily computable components. The method is powerful tool for obtaining analytic and approximate solutions for different types of fractional differential equations.

The Perna sp. Perna indica is an important marine bivalve resource due to their dietary and medicinal properties. The increasing atmospheric CO2, ocean warming and consequent acidic changes of the ocean waters adversely affected these sedentary organisms by directly influencing the physiological activities and their energy levels. Experiments were conducted in the present study to infer the influence of temperature on the physiological responses of Perna sp. collected off Kadiapattanam coast, Tamil Nadu, India. The mussels were acclimatized at different temperatures viz., 25.0 to 40.0°C and the oxygen consumption levels were examined. The results indicated that the smaller size group P. species. (viz., 60 mm shell length) was more active at 35.0°C compared to the larger size groups. The oxygen consumption of P. indica acclimated at 35.0°C was higher with 0.0.37±0.01ml/lit/g/h than those acclimated at 40.0 and 25.0°C. It was also observed that, byssal threads were not produced by those specimens reared at the temperature of 25 to 40.0°C at 60 to 80mm shell size species at 1hour interval. The observations point out to the fact that temperature increase due to global warming and size variation could adversely affect physiological responses of the Perna sp. in its natural marine conditions.

The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of transformational leadership practices on student satisfaction in the academic setting in Malaysia. Approximately 450 full-time students took part in this study from three different universities in Perak from various faculties. A multi-factor leadership questionnaire (MLQ) with a Likert-Scale of 1-5 was used to collect the data to determine students’ perception of transformational leadership practiced by teaching staff at the three universities and to gauge the satisfaction level of students. To ensure reliability and validity of the respondents’ data set, the sample included only students who have studied for more than one semester at the particular university. Data was analyzed using descriptive analysis to describe demographic profile of students and Pearson Product Moment Correlation to test the relationship between independent variables [(Idealized Influence (II), Individual Consideration (IC), Intellectual Stimulation (IS) and Inspirational Motivation (IM)] and dependent variable (student satisfaction). The correlation analysis shows that all the transformational leadership behavior II, IC, IS and IM were significant and highly correlated with student satisfaction. However, Multiple Regression analysis showed that transformational leadership behavior of inspirational motivation; intellectual stimulations and individual consideration were significant and positively influence student satisfaction level while idealized influence was not significant. Academic institutions of higher learning should take this into consideration when dealing with student satisfaction. This research shows that transformational leadership is crucial in improving student satisfaction. Future study should be undertaken to include a wider sample size, increase the research context to ensure validity and reliability of the results and promote student satisfaction in order to enhance a learning culture.

It is necessary to know the language and concepts of terms, because every science has the specific feature and Hafiz can be also considered in this way, therefore it is necessary to consider the titles and concepts such as faith and disbelief in his gazelles, because the concept of belief and disbelief refer to religion, hence it is necessary, they are considered in the field of knowing Hafiz, and this essay tries to search the meanings of belief, disbelief and love in his gazelles. I tried to concern the religious principles, my theism due to religion. There has been found a new approach in Hafiz’s poems other than the common a theism, as matter of fact, it is mystical atheism, in order to reach the love way which is higher than faith.

Gnosticism has been considered among human, in order to answer human’s needs. It is necessary to learn the secrets of Gnosticism, in order to step in the intellectual way. It is in the same way that some of great men. Such as Hafiz and Molana are well known for their literary, mystical approaches which should be differentiated, at first, we compare them, we come to the fact that their Gnosticism has been less considered.

The study examined the determinants of consumption of food away from home (FAFH) in the urban sector. The socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and factors motivating it were identified as well as factors that influence the consumption of food away from home. The study used two stage sampling method to select 118 respondents that was used for the study. Data collected were analysed using ordinary least square model. The result revealed that 8 out of the 17 variables considered to influence consumption of FAFH were significant and these are household size, number of children under 6yrs, children between 7 and13years as well as 14 and 17years, total number of visit per week to places for food away from home, number of working female adults and easy access to prepared FAFH. Household size was significant at 1% level and has a direct relationship with household expenditure on consumption of FAFH. The total number of adults present in the household is also significant at 1% and has an inverse relationship with expenditure on consumption of FAFH. Also, the number of children under 6 years is statistically significant at 5% level of significant and it has an inverse relationship with the household expenditure. This could be as a result of specially attention given to young children. Based on the rapid growing trend of consumption of food away from home consumption, this study recommends that FAFH should be taken up by approved and trusted sources putting the health and safety of the consumers into consideration and government agencies concerned with food and health safety should ensure that food served at eateries and restaurants are safe for consumption.
