This purpose of this paper is to study the impact of macroeconomics variables to Mudharabah Investment Deposits in Malaysia. It intends to examine the relationship and the significance influence between Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Rate of Return (ROR), Inflation Rate (INF) and Investment Deposits in Malaysia. Analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Pearson Correlation used in determining the relationship between the variables while three difference regression model (enter, forward, backward) used to determine the significance influence between the variables. The data gathered from Monthly Statistical Bulletin, Bank Negara Malaysia from 2003 until 2011. ROR showed there is significant strong positive relationship with Mudharabah Investment Deposit in Malaysia. It was found that by using three difference regression models, only one predictor namely Rate of Return (ROR) had significant influence with Mudharabah Investment Deposits while Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Inflation Rate (INF) had no significant influence with Mudharabah Investment Deposits.

Aquaculture is growing more rapidly than all other animal food producing sectors. In order to meet out the global rising animal protein demand, aquaculture plays an important role. Fishes are constantly exposed to wide variety of diseases includes bacteria, viral, fungal, and parasites in all water bodies. Bacterial fish diseases constitute one of the major limiting factors for sustainable aquaculture production all over the globe. Environmental conditions such as pollution, poor water quality parameters, intensive culture practice, integrated fish management, etc are the major factors to cause diseases. In the present study diseased fish such as Catla catla, Lobeo rohita, Channa gachua showing symptoms were identified, brought to the laboratory for isolation of bacterial pathogens. Total of 11 isolates were identified based on colony morphology, gram staining, catalase, oxidase reaction. Biochemical test 11 different isolates were reveals heterogeneous characteristics belong to Pseudomonas sp, Aeromonas sp and Vibrio sp. All the 11 different isolates were examined for Antibiogram Assay against commercially available antibiotics. Moreover efficacy of crude Cyanobacterial extracts was tested against this isolates. The antibacterial potency was evaluated using various concentration 50, 100, 150, 200 µg in paper disc. Among these only Pseudomonas sp was sensitive to Synechococcus sp, O. weilli BDU141621 BDU110791 and Lyngbya sp. All other bacterial isolates were resistant to all the cyanobacterial strains O. weilli BDU130781, BDU110791, BDU141621, BDU13791, BDU130411 Phormidium sp, Lyngbya sp, Synechococcus sp strains examined in the present study.

Rapid population growth in a country like India is threatening the environment through expansion and intensification of agriculture, uncontrolled growth of urbanization and industrialization, and destruction of natural habitats. The present paper is an attempt to study the population change and its impacts on land, forest and water and energy resources. Rapid population growth plays an important role in declining per capita agricultural land, forest and water resources. The analysis reveals that outcomes of high population growth rates are increasing population density and number of people below poverty line. Population pressure contributes to land degradation and soil erosion, thus affecting productive resource base of the economy. The increasing population numbers and growing affluence have resulted in rapid growth of energy production and consumption in India. The environmental effects like ground water and surface water contamination; air pollution and global warming are of growing concern owing to increasing consumption levels. The paper concludes with some policy reflections and emphasizes the potential importance of natural resources.

In this paper, we have considered the problem of estimating the population mean of study character using mean square error by double sampling the non-respondents. Two generalized estimators for estimating the population mean using auxiliary character under two different cases are proposed. Further the problem has been extended to the wider classes of estimators, which include several generalized estimators as a particular member. The bias, mean square error and optimum property of the proposed classes of estimators have been obtained under different cases. The efficiency of the proposed classes of estimators has also been shown through the theoretical and empirical studies. 

The central purpose of education is to help individuals make necessary adjustments towards a constant changing environment. e-learning is efficient as it eliminates distance and subsequent commutes. The different types of e-learning are based on, means of communication, schedule, e-learning class structure and technologies applied. Positive attitudes can help teachers to deal with the new situation with less stress and so enable them to take steps appropriately in tune with the need of the students and the institution. In this view point the researchers have undertaken this study. The present study was conducted in New Delhi and 800 senior secondary level school students were selected. The descriptive study method was adopted; stratified random sampling technique was used in selecting the samples. A well-designed and pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The result revealed that Students’ personal variables such as, gender, subject specialization, parents’ education, parents’ monthly income and school management are differed significantly among themselves. Suitable suggestions are given to improve students’ attitude towards e-learning paradigm.

The study of liquid/solutions using acoustical methods constitutes the mining field for scientists. Compressibility measurements are highly accurate and yield interesting informations. The sign and magnitude of compressibility indicates the solvation effects. The structural changes in the primary and secondary regions are generally referred to as solvation. The thermochemical parameters have been proven to be a very useful tool in elucidating the structural interactions taking place in the solutions. In the present investigation, BMIMBr is dissolved in formamide and the fundamental quantities are measured in various molalities and the temperatures ranging from 278.15K to 328.15K. In the present study, the solvation of BMIMBr in non-aqueous medium is taken for interpreting the various interactions occuring between the solute and solvent and the effect of temperature and concentration on solvation is also analyzed.

The current paper is a helping attempt to facilitate those students who are interested in the field of research especially for the partial fulfillment of the degree requirement. In most of the universities of different countries degrees are awarded after conducting a research thesis, but mostly student face problems in the selection and preparation of research proposals. Most of the time supervisors show the negligence for helping the students that, from which area they can select the topic of the research due to which the students who don’t have mastery in the field of research they get confuse and tense. The objectives of this paper were: to highlight the sources for the selection of the topic from different areas, to highlight the steps of the preparation of the research proposal, to give the general steps for preparing the research proposal. The nature of this paper is theoretical for which relevant literature is explored. This paper will help out the researchers for selecting an appropriate way for the selection and preparation of research proposal.

This paper focuses on the causes of juvenile delinquency and is an effort to pin point the large amount of causes that exist and contribute to what leads someone towards delinquent behavior and how these actions of him violate the law, who is under the legal age of majority in the Pakistan. So that serious actions should be taken to discarding this serious threat and epidemic signal from the society in the near future. This study was conducted at Adyala jail at Rawalpindi District in Punjab Province (Pakistan) in the Juvenile barracks. The study will be useful for the policy makers, law enforcing agencies and civil society and can serve to Pakistani societal norms significantly. In Pakistan serious dangers are created to the health, social and moral development of children. The findings shows that lake of basic facilities leads children to become criminals and courts make them professional.

Fifty female crayfish (46.20 ± 1.37 g live mass) which caught from Ag?n Region of the Keban Dam Lake (Elaz?g, Turkey) in March of 2011were examined in the laboratory to evaluate their health status. The exoskeleton was observed for Saprolegnia spp. Mycological investigations demonstrated the presence of hyphae in the area of the abdomen. Saprolegnia spp. was isolated from lesions in infected eggs. Mortalities occurred in fiberglass tanks, after 4 weeks respectively, in the female infected crayfish, with approximately a 38 % cumulative mortality rate (in the last week). In both cases the crayfish were weak, anorexic and lethargic. The main cause of mortality was lesions in infected eggs. Other causes associated with mortality likely can be stressing factors (handling, feeding etc.) in the laboratory.
