The growth of social activities for women in Iran has had a two-sided outcome for women. The worst, the women have encountered the phenomenon of prison, which is a great problem in traditional and Islamic societies. The change of role expectations after the release from prison has imposed many restrictions on women so that there is not any vivid future for them. Lack of enough education and skill has deprived the prisoner women from retaining their pre-prison situation. The high number of suicide among prisoner women shows that subculture of encountering with prisoned women in Islamic societies is based on sin approach in that the women are sinners who will be sent to hell in the other world and they must see the punishment of their sin to be ready for the extreme heat. Disinterestedness in the interaction with other people and loving isolation are two characteristics of style life for these women. The efforts of authorities to return these women to normal life, unfortunately, have failed to work. This paper investigates the reasons and roots of exclusion for prisoner women in Iran and Islamic societies.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

In a series of papers inserted in the Philosophical Transactions (1835,1836,1837), and afterwards, in a more correct and complete form, in my Treatise ‘On the Undulatory Theory applied to the Di­spersion of Light’ (1841), I endeavoured to investigate the great problem of the explanation of the unequal refrangibility of light on the principles of the undulatory theory, as proposed by M. Cauchy about 1830, by numerical comparison with the indices observed, more especially in cases of the most highly dispersive media then examined. The general result then arrived at was, that while the theory applied perfectly through an extensive range of media of low and moderate dispersive power, it did not apply well to those of higher; and to the highest in the scale (which of course formed the true test of the theory) it did not apply within any allowable limits of accuracy. Since that time little has been done towards prosecuting the subject.

Industries becoming sick has become a great problem everywhere in this industrial world especially in the 3rd world countries. Many researches have been done to analyze the problem and suggest opinions about solving this problem as huge amount of capital is lost if an industry becomes sick and go out of business. If the numbers become multiple, such happenings might affect national economy and thus it draws attention of political and business leaders besides new entrepreneurs of the country. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze this problem by using financial ratio analysis. Various financial ratios of two numbers of medium and large industries of one industrial corporation in Bangladesh have been calculated by using actual financial data of the industries. The data has been analyzed and a correlation has been shown with various financial ratios with the industries becoming sick. The authors hope that the findings of the analysis will attract attention of academicians, industrialists, political leaders, and the owners of the industries which are becoming sick and will also show a guiding path to new entrepreneurs.

Wittgenstein’s project in the Tractatus was to replace Frege-Russell propositions with a new conception capturing the essence of representational thought and language. This, he believed, was philosophy’s only real task. I argue that his account of atomic propositions was an incomplete realization of valuable insights, which, had they been slightly revised, could have been extended to all tractarian propositions. Had Wittgenstein followed this path, he would have made discoveries in the study of language and mind that are only beginning to emerge today. However, doing so would have meant stripping the Tractatus of its pretensions of fundamentally remaking philosophy.

Organisations face a great problem. How can they create a knowledge management (KM) strategy that takes account of the complexity of knowledge issues in their organisation and be able to clearly communicate it? This issue, called here the Knowledge Strategy Dilemma, is the main theme of this chapter and is vital for KM success in practice. The authors argue that literature reveals that the Dilemma is one that can be tackled. They also argue that whilst the literature reveals approaches that help address different parts of the Dilemma, the best approach to address it in a coherent way is a KM method called MaKE. MaKE is presented and two of its principles—Traceability and Transparency— are explained. Also visual tools that help implement these principles in practice are critically discussed along with feedback from industry. The principles, when applied, are helpful in tackling the Dilemma with some success. Also, the authors argue that different forms of communication (including face-to-face meetings with visual aids) should be used to address the Dilemma. The question that remains is: are organisations willing to devote the time to do these things in practice?

The emergence of blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-1 producing Klebsiella pneumoniae represents a great problem in many Egyptian hospitals. One hundred and twenty-six K. pneumoniae isolates from patients admitted to Assiut University Hospital were identified by an API20E kit. Carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae (CPKP) was detected by the modified carbapenem inactivation method (mCIM), the EDTA-modified carbapenem inactivation method (eCIM), and an E-test. Based on the polymerase chain reaction, all isolates were negative for bla-VIM-1 and bla-IMP-1, fifteen of these isolates were positive for both blaKPC-2 and blaNDM-1, two isolates were positive for blaKPC-2 only, and twenty-eight isolates were positive for bla-NDM-1 only. Although one isolate was positive for the string test, all CPKP isolates were negative for capsular genes. Only 71.1% of CPKP transferred their plasmids to their corresponding transconjugants (E. coli J53). The resistance patterns of the clinical isolates and their transconjugates were similar, except for 12 isolates, which showed differences with their transconjugates in the resistance profile of four antibiotics. Molecular typing of the plasmids based on replicon typing showed that Inc FIIK and FII plasmids predominated in isolates and their transconjugants carrying blaKPC-2 and/or blaNDM-1. Conjugative Inc FII plasmids play an important role in the spread of CPKP, and their recognition is essential to limit their spread.

Summary(1)Survey of the present methods of carrying out air transport service when visibility is bad.(2)What is essentially required of technical aids for landing under bad weather conditions.(3)Short survey of current German methods for solving the problem of landing in fog.The necessity for being able to carry out air transport unhindered by weather conditions is inseparably associated with the idea of commercial air service. This great problem of “ flight in any weather ” has confronted us since the inception of regular services between places having corresponding traffic needs, that is to say, since the very birth of air transport.
