Abstract: Audio-visual resources are non-print instructional materials that command the attention of dual sense organs to promote effectiveness in teaching and learning process. They are the product of advanced technology, some of which usually require special equipment to operate, (Adebowale, and Adekanye, 2013). Audio-visual resources include television, computer and films and the like. These resources are capable to ensure effective teaching which improves skill acquisition and retention among learners especially at the prime level. The use of audio-visual resources in teaching and learning will move teaching method from rote method (teacher center method) to a more innovative and enriched method known as “child center method”. Child center method of teaching is a method used in conquering the limitations characterizing the traditional method of teaching. Child center method makes a child an active participant in a classroom setting as it encourages pleasurable learning through the use of audio-visual resources and other instructional devices.

ABSTRACT: All the nations are fighting single-handed to defeat poverty and unemployment but they can do nothing separately. The people will have to be international minded giving up narrow national outlook. They will have to co-operate with one-another in defeating poverty and unemployment. The feeling of nationalism must be changed into internationalism. A concern of universal brotherhood friendliness and good will must prevail. As soon as this feeling arises in our mind, the problem of international understanding will arise itself. Students should feel that they are the members of one world, one community. They should be encouraged to practice tolerance, mutual help and respect for others. The feeling of world citizenship is to be fostered among students through co-curricular activities in school. This article is an attempt to flash some light on Education for International Understanding. There are some of the ways and means of organising education for promoting the feelings of internationalism and the teacher plays a very vital role in contributing international understanding.

Abstract: Foreign trade plays a major and important role in the Egyptian national economy, as export is considered an essential pillar in providing sources of foreign currency. Export developing is the most important challenges face the Egyptian. The problem of the research is that Egyptian potato exports suffer from fluctuations in both quantity and value in recent years. The research ended to some results, such as: the average quantity of Egyptian production of potatoes amounted to 1.07% of the global production which amounted to about 341 million tons, during (2000-2021). The value of Egyptian potato exports of vegetables amounted to about $743 million, representing 23% from the total of the Egyptian agricultural exports value. Russian Federation markets Lebanese, they imported about 67.5% from the Egyptian potato exports with value equal to about 66.2% during (2017-2021). Egypt had the greatest market share in Russian, Greece and Lebanese markets, but France had the greatest market share in Italian market. Egypt has an advantage better China, Belarus and Azerbaijan in the Russian Federation market. The price demand elastiaty of the Egyptian potato refers to an increase by 1% in Egyptian price by 1%will reduce the demand an Egyptian potatoes in Russian, Italian and French markets to about 1,268%, 2,532% and 1,461%, respectively. This means it is a commodity. Increase price in Greece market by 1% will lead to decrease the demand on the Egyptian potatoes by about 0.196%. It is inelastic commodity.

Abstract: Prostaglandins are a group of 20-carbon fatty acids produced from arachidonic acid via the cyclooxygenase pathway in response to extrinsic stimuli (Smith 1989, 1992; Smith et al.,1991; Smith et al., 2011). Prostanoid biosynthesis (including classical prostaglandins PGD,PGE and PGF, as well as prostacyclins and thromboxanes) proceeds in three stages: (1) extrinsic stimuli-activated mobilization of esterified arachidonate from precursor lipids in the cell membrane through the action of lipases, (2) conversion of arachidonate to the prostaglandin endoperoxide (PGH2) mediated by PGH synthases, and (3) cell-specific isomerization or reduction of PGH2 by specific synthases (isomerases) or reductases to the major biologically active prostanoids PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α, prostacyclin (PGI2), or thromboxane A2 (TXA2; Figure1, modified from Smith, 1992; Smith et al., 2011). Prostaglandins are local hormones (i.e. autocoids; Smith 1989, 1992; Smith et al., 1991). Infused PGE and PGF derivatives fail to survive a single pass through the circulatory system. Their synthesis is not restricted to a central endocrine organ, but rather occurs in most organs, although not necessarily in all cell types. The plasma concentrations of these compounds, except in rare situations, are less than 10-9M, a concentration normally unable to elicit responses.

Abstract:  “The poems of „the Gitanjali‟ are offerings of the finite to the infinite.”1 it is poetry of the highest order, poetry which very nearly approaches the condition of prophecy. In the words of T.S. Eliot it is great poetry which, “expresses in perfect language permanent human impulses”, and thus brings strange consolation to the human heart. In such works poetry becomes a revelation, an incantation, that flashes open the inner reality. It is poetry in which men converse with eternity. As a matter of fact Gitanjali is a great work of art, and as such a number of themes and ideas are woven together to make up its complex texture. Its hundred and odd lyrics explore (1)‟ the relationship of God and the human soul (2) of God and Nature, (3) of Nature and the human soul, and (4) of the individual soul and humanity. These four themes are not kept strictly separate, they frequently run into each other, fuse and mingle.

Abstract:- The COVID-19 pandemic has occurred at a time when the global and Indian economic growth was already expected to decelerate. The last few quarters have witnessed a moderation of growth rate of the Indian economy, with quarterly growth in GVA declining from 7.63% in Q4 in 2017-18 to 3.04% in Q4 of 2019-20. The declining trend may have become more severe due to COVID-19, as indicated by many factors. For instance, recently released estimates by Govt of India indicate that production in the eight core sectors of our economy contracted for the third month in a row, with output declining 23.4 per cent in May 2020. Overall growth has been adversely affected in most core sectors, apart from fertilisers.

Abstract: Many Egyptian farmers usually get rid of secondary plant products (SPP) as waste. So, the study is assessing the economic and environmental impact of using the SPP, particularly wood fuel sorghum, in the production of organic fertilizers (compost) in the Saliheya village, Fayoum governorate. Both descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis methods were used. Also, the financial feasibility of one of the governorate projects was estimated. Data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation and the Public Authority for Environmental Affairs, both published and unpublished, were used. In addition, a questionnaire addressed to the selected project was used to obtain specific technical aspects and data on prices and costs to determine its financial feasibility. The present results showed that the total production of the wood fuel sorghum SPP of the crops studied in the Fayoum Governorate for 2020 represents 17.35% of the total Arab Republic of Egypt (ARE) sorghum SPP. The current study concluded that the governorate's level of benefiting from the SPP, and its financial feasibility was approximately 38%, with a 6-year recovery period. This paper recommends the expansion of the compost projects by establishing about three hundred projects all over the governorate due to their profitability and their ecological effect on the environment. It also recommends scattering the projects all over the governorate in between the agricultural lands where every project will serve about a million square meters (250 Fadden).
