To target pockets where girls’ education is lagging behind, the Government of India has launched Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV). The objective of KGBV is to ensure access and provide quality education to girls from disadvantaged groups by setting up residential schools at upper primary level. The state of Assam in India was selected for the present study. Multi stage sampling design was adopted for the study. The sampling units at different stages were State, Districts and KGBVs. Primary data collection method was used in the study.

Today, schools face new and unimaginable threats to their safety.  To  improve school  safety appropriate leadership  and management  is  needed,  however  in  developing  countries  appropriate  leadership  and  management  is  not  always  present.

Family business is an important factor in economic development throughout the world, particularly in countries changing from a socialist social-economic model to a market economy model. More than ever in the Czech Republic, where free enterprise had been suppressed for decades, it is a very hot topic, because about 25 years ago new private enterprises were established in these countries, whilst the majority of them were the family type. Now is the time to transfer these companies into the hands of successors and followers of the family tradition of entrepreneurship.

From the original huge recording equipment, by now the recording work a person a computer can be completed, recording technology obtained the unprecedented development, usher in the digital age, comprehensive at present, with the progress of digital technology, digital recording technology is widely applied to many areas, this paper probes into the innovation and development of Chinese digital recording technology.

This  research  studies   is  undertaken  to  examine  the  impact  of  government  spending  on  economic   growth  in  Nigeria.  Government  spending  is  thought  to  be  growth   enhancing   especially  when  it  is  productive   in  nature.    The time series data for the period between (1970-2010) was used in this study.

In this second part the author (A) continues to report findings from Project Zacchaeus where the author (A) analyses the performance of HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) as the national tax collection authority for the United Kingdom according to a set of quality criteria defined in Part 1. Whereas Part 1 examined how HMRC sets its priorities and deploys its resources, Part 2 examines the competence of HMRC by comparison to another national tax collection authority, namely the US federal tax collection authority, the Inland Revenue Service (IRS).

A line × tester crossing programme was taken up with seven lines and three testers with a view to identify the best heterotic crosses for seed cotton yield, yield attributing traits and fibre quality in cotton. A set of 21 (H × B) hybrids and one check hybrid DCH 32 were grown at Rasi seeds Research and Development Farm Attur. Analysis of variance showed significant differences amongst parents and hybrids for all the characters indicating presence of genetic variability.

There is a big relationship between Diabete and renal dysfunctions and lesions. This study was designed to test the antidiabetic and antioxidative activities of 3,4-dihydroxy-phenylethanol in kidneys. Diabetes in Wistar rats was induced by intra- peritoneal injections of alloxan. The kidneys antioxidant parameters; thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS), catalase (CAT) and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) were examined as well as the histological features.

Nigeria which is the sixth largest producer/exporter of crude oil was rated as one of the richest 50 countries in the 1970s. But at the threshold of the 21st century, it has become one of the 25 poorest countries of the world. The country is characterized by high rate of poverty, poor infrastructural development, poor standard of education, and high rate of social vices.

Two genes encoding Na+/H+ antiporter isolated from Cyanobacterial strain Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 were cloned and sequenced. These genes, namely, nhaS2 and nhaS4 were cloned into the pYES2 vector for expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transgenic yeast was examined for their ability to survive under salt- stress conditions and their growth response to increasing levels of NaCl (0, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3M) for 7days, then the yeast growth was measured at OD600nm in spectrophotometer.
