Abstract: Online working of a Government or providing its services online to its citizens at their door step is known as E-Governance. E-Governance is E-Commerce technology means online availability of government services. In today's time the development of any country depends on the uses of E-Governance and also their penetration. Development of any country can be judge by the scope of E-Governance in that country. Due to widespread demand of E-Governance, Indian Government also took some steps towards E-Governance. Indian Government implemented a number of E-governance projects in different states of India. It is a major challenge before the Government to successfully deploy them successfully due to existing problems such as lack of awarness, low literacy poverty, low network bond width issues and political scenario.
Keywords: E-Governance, India, Government.

Abstract: Background: Malaria is a global public health problem; around 44% of the world’s population lives with the risk of the disease. In 2015, there were 198 million malaria cases in the world. The prevalence of malaria varies in space; not only between countries, but also within highly endemic countries, where it is particularly influenced by socioeconomic or environmental factors.
Objective: The objective of this study is to obtain a global view of factors influencing malaria infection in children in Africa.
Methods: A multi-level logistic regression model was used, with the national level being the highest. As a complementary tool, a classification tree provided a visual schema of sub-groups with higher malaria risk. Finally, we used geographically weighted regression (GWR) to assess the spatial heterogeneity of the relationship between the significant community factors and malaria prevalence.
Results: Using multilevel regression, we found that certain factors have a significant association with malaria risk in sub-Saharan countries. At individual level: the age of a child, maternal education level, febrile status, anaemic status and the possession of a bed net for sleeping. At household level: economic status, the availability of electricity in the house and place of residence (i.e. urban or rural). At community level: quantity of precipitation, population density and conflict events. Globally, we found a positive relationship between malaria risk and both population density and quantity of precipitation. However, geographically weighted regression showed that in some African areas the association is negative. The association between conflict events and malaria is positive across the 16 sub-Saharan countries studied, with a particularly strong relationship around Mali and Burkina Faso. At country level, the risk of malaria differed significantly between sub-Saharan countries; the highest malaria prevalence was found in Burkina Faso and the lowest in Rwanda.
Conclusion: Through a global vision of sub-Saharan Africa, this study has identified factors, operating at a number of levels, influencing malaria infection in children. The study has also demonstrated spatial heterogeneity in some of these factors and their influence. This indicates that, when implementing health policies for the eradication of malaria within a country, regional characteristics must be taken into account.
Keywords: Malaria, spatial heterogeneity.

Abstract: The present study was aimed to investigate how and what type of study skills are being used by learners who have learning issues. 20 middle school learners participated in the study. Data was collected through questionnaire and interview. An observation schedule was developed to observe the teachers and students in the class. The findings of the study indicated that, children use a variety of study skills, however the study skill of pictorial and diagrammatic representations work best with the learners. Also learners who underlined key words were able to yield better academic results. Learners with good hold and knowledge of study skills were better academic achievers as compared to the ones who didn’t apply or use study skills. Though it was not a part of the study, it was revealed that teachers were aware of very few study skills which could be applied and they use them without matching the child's way of learning to his study skills. Teachers may need to receive more formalized study skills training in order to provide study skills instruction in their classrooms and help boost student learning and academic achievement in the core content areas. The study also pointed to the fact that organizational skills played a major role in determining the type and combination of study skills the learners apply.

Abstract: Satire has long been considered a very difficult and complex translating task, and some critics have claimed that the satire in the English novel of Pride and Prejudice has been over-translated, under-translated, mistranslated, and even lost. Therefore, the research aims to seek some proper strategies in translating a satirical novel.
In order to obtain this goal, the research compares two Chinese versions with the original text of Pride and Prejudice. The two Chinese versions are translated by Wang Keyi (王科一) published in 1956 and by Sun Zhili (孙致礼) in 2010. From the perspective of functional equivalence, the writer has selected thirty English satirical sentences from the English novel and sixty sentences from the two Chinese versions and compares each example in detail under four strategies: (1) adding words, (2) changing the position of some phrases, (3) changing phrases into sentences, and (4) use of four-character phrases. The writer also tries to discern the differences and the similarities between the two Chinese versions, and decides which one reflects more closely the criterion of functional equivalence. In addition, the writer evaluates whether the four strategies apply to translating the satirical tone of the English novel.
From the analysis of the data, it becomes obvious that Wang Keyi’s (王科一) version is, most of time, formally equivalent. Formal equivalence entails the literal meaning of the original text and appears awkward, over-translated, under-translated and even mistranslated. The writer speculates that this is partly because of the limited reference materials available at the time of the translation, the socio-political situation, and inadequate personal experience. Generally, Sun Zhili’s (孙致礼) version tends to be functionally equivalent and more natural and closer to the original than Wang’s. Sun’s version is indeed very successful due to his unremitting efforts, wealth of experience and access to modern theories and resources. It has also been proved that the four strategies are employed by both translators in translating the satirical tone of the source text.
Although the research offers better strategies in translating a satirical novel and helps the translator to provide the closest and most natural translation to the target readers, some limitations of this paper will be presented in the conclusion.
Keywords: satire; functional equivalence; translation strategies; comparative study.

Abstract: The economic woes and crisis of the 1980s and 1990s made several countries turn to decentralization of health services as a panacea to the worsening health service provision. Like many other countries, Tanzania introduced decentralization system in health service provision. Through HSR, Local Government Authorities (LGAs) are empowered to run health service delivery while central government acts as an overseer by injecting financial resources to the LGAs. With slight improvements that have been recorded among the LGAs since the implementation of HSR, there is a staggering difference among LGAs between what was thought to be achieved in health service delivery and what is actually seen on the ground. Because the failure of LGAs to equitably deliver health service has been widely researched, this article focuses on the efficacy of the LGAs to make use of financial resources. Drawing data from LGAs Audit Reports for 2007/08-2013/14, the paper analyses the LGAs use of financial resource availed to them for health service delivery. The focus is on health development project/project of Community health Fund (CHF) and Primary Health Services Development Programme (PHSDP). The paper finds that the financial resources meant for health service provision is either put to use or no. Arguably, this is due to lack of political will, poor community participation, and mismanagement of public financial resources and endemic culture of corruption among LGAs.

Abstract: From April 2015, Burundi has fallen gradually into conflict. Starting with peaceful demonstrations against the candidacy of Pierre Nkurunziza in the presidential elections, more than 200,000 people have now fled the country, thousands have been arrested, a failed coup d’état has taken place and hundreds of people have been killed. While international actors are trying to bring different parties to the negotiating table, Burundi is mutating into an ever more complex situation with no straightforward solution in sight. This paper outlines the background to the 2015 electoral crisis outlining the causes and the drivers of the current conflict. It begins with a discussion of the positions at the two ends of the Burundian political spectrum with regard to the electoral process and the resulting violence. It then goes on to discuss how the current political and security struggles in Burundi have affected the relationship with its immediate neighbor Rwanda. A brief overview of effects of the crisis in Burundi on the country itself, Rwanda and the region are presented. The final part of this paper examines the role of the International community in the crisis.

Abstract: This paper examines the economic impact of land acquisition consequent of the establishment of Cochin Airport and rehabilitation of affected families. CIAL is the first airport project in India implemented under the Public Private Partnership model. While implementing the project acquiring land has been one of the biggest challenges faced. CIAL acquired around 1,300 acres of land from about 822 families. Unlike what is taking place now where State Governments are acquiring land for airports, land acquisition in this case was done through a negotiated settlement with the land-owners. A co-ordination committee headed by ministers of the Kerala government ,representatives of the land owners, the District Collector, the elected representatives of the locality or panchayat and the managing director of the company, held several rounds of marathon meetings to arrive at a settlement scheme that was acceptable to all the land evictees. A rehabilitation package was also worked out for rehabilitating 822 families that were displaced due to the land acquisition process. The process entailed one of the biggest ever land acquisition process in the district. The study is useful in understanding the exact state of condition of persons displaced due to the setting up of the Cochin airport.

Abstract: Previous studies indicate that coaching has positive effects on peoples’ lives. Moreover, the secondary school age is the period of intense mental and personal development and variation. Besides, reflection, motivation and learning are the fundamentals of personal development. For this reason a coaching model should support reflection, motivation and learning over coachee. Thus, it was thought that, in order to discover a useful coaching model that meets the secondary educational needs, examination of The Mobius-Strip, GROW, Seven Step and OUTCOMES Models in terms of reflection, motivation and learning is beneficial. In this article each coaching model is defined and examined with regards to reflection, motivation and learning. Each one plays crucial role for personal development and have positive effects. In the final analysis, one of the four models is identified as most useful with four reasons for secondary education. Also, the limitations are defined about the research.

Abstract: This paper presents empirical evidence regarding the trends of gender and political participation during the 2001-2011 period in Zambia. Focusing on voting as one aspect of political participation, and taking age, education and place of residence as explanatory variables, we use data from the Afrobarometer survey to see how voting participation varied with regard to gender in Zambia during this period. Despite Zambia’s higher levels of political participation among African countries, our analysis shows that when compared to their male counterparts, women still have disproportionally lower levels of political participation than men, regardless of factors such as educational achievements, age and place of residence. The research findings contribute to the gender and political participation literature by evidencing that the gender gap continues to be an avoidable inequality in voting participation in Zambia.
In contrast to their male counterparts, voting participation of women increased in absolute terms within this period in Zambia. However, our analysis shows that the difference in voting patterns is more pronounced between women in the different social groups than men. The study further suggests that, in spite of the international drive for full equality in political participation, and as a result of the centuries old traditional cultural constraints in Zambia, and the African society at large, women have been subjected to a social attitude boosted by some of the discriminatory chauvinisms of colonialism towards women, has been created that still operates in Zambian culture and leads to the exclusion of women from active participation in political life.

Abstract: Corporatisation is a process of making a state body into an independent commercial company. This is often the first step in the process of privatisation in which the ownership of a former state body is transferred to the private individuals and institutional investors. This corporatisation has also entered into the Higher education System. This move towards the corporatisation of higher education assumes universities as being similar to large business organisations and therefore being capable of being run as businesses. Among these, it is observed that the growth trend for private institutions of higher education is increasing. This leads to the fact that higher education necessitates attention to its basic purpose of teaching, research and dissemination as well as the overall management at macro and micro level. In the above context, the authors explain the process of corporatisation as it occurs in the field of higher education. Consequent to the corporatisation, its effect will be observed in three critical areas: curriculum and courses; research and management.
