This paper defines social development in the context of sustainable development. To this end, the concept of development and its evolution has been reviewed over the past seven decades. The concept of development has evolved from economic growth to poverty alleviation, sustainable development, human development, and most recently the millennium dev

The concept of development has evolved over the past two centuries. The main idea of economic development expanded from economic growth to poverty alleviation, sustainable development, human development, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Preliminary findings show that these concepts are mainly focused on

A sustainable technology is a technology that is capable of being maintained over a long period of time; independent of shifts in both hardware and software. Numbers of studies have discussed various factors contributes towards barriers to successful implementation of HIS. Through critical analysis of existing literature on success, failure and cha

Rate of employment is a strong indicator of economic stability that relates to the services and products. One of the main factors that contributes to low rate employment is the mismatch between job seeker and the job requirement due to the limited analysis performed on the job advertisement. The obscure job descriptions may result in application of

The Si doped ZnO nanopowders for varistor have been prepared at different sintering temperature using solid state method. The Si doped ZnO have been sintered at different temperatures 850, 950 and 1050 °C at air condition. The structural and densification of Si doped ZnO were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (

Pure zinc oxide ( ZnO ) and silica (SiO ) doped ZnO nanopowders have been prepared using solid state method. SiO were doped into ZnO at different weight percentage 1 and 3 wt.%. The structural and electrical properties of ZnO and SiO doped ZnO powder have been characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and elect

In this paper,we define Watson-Crick linear grammars extending Watson-Crick regular grammars Subramanian et al. (CCSEIT’12 proceedings of the second international conference on computer science, science, engineering and information technology 151–156, 2012, [9]) with linear rules, and study their generative power. We show that Watson-Crick line

Introduction Spinal tuberculosis in children is an established preventable disease. Complications of the disease are devastating due to its aptitude to cause bone destruction, spinal deformity and paraplegia. We present seven months old girl with isolated gross motor regression and evolving spastic paraplegia. The case highlights the challenge with

Introduction: A complete septic profile including lumbar puncture (LP) ought to be done in febrile neonates unless other consideration. Presentation: A 25-day old baby girl presented with fever and decreased oral intake for three days. She has no significant prenatal, natal or postnatal history. At presentation, she appeared lethargic but had no ab

One positive response to the Great Recession (2008-2012) is that economics is seriously rethinking on its future shape and direction. As value-free economics begins to wane, Putnam’s (2012) ‘second phase classical theory’ and ‘entanglement of fact and value’ notions look encouraging. Therein lies openings for Islamic economics to project
