In his post colonial novel, In the Skin of a lion, the Canadian/Sri Lankan writer,
Michael Ondaatje is so interested in the term "Post colonialism" because he wants to show
that the term doesn't only refer to a period of time that comes after colonialism. In other
words, post colonialism is not only referred to as a literal description of formerly colonial
societies. He deals with the termas a literary genre and an academic construct that describes
the global conditions of a man after a period of colonialism. He shows that post colonialism is
a theory that tries to examine and explore the different styles and faces of European authority
to control the colonized. Ondaatje's attempt through such term is to unmask European
authority and to focus on those who are excluded such as the immigrants and the outsiders
who feel lost and without identities in their world. Thus, he writes In the Skin of a Lion to
retell and illuminate the story of the marginalized characters of Toronto who are used and
controlled by the colonizers to build Toronto but they remained as outsiders. The writer tries
to weave the story around such characters as Caravaggio the thief, Nicholas Temelcoff the
daredevil, Patrick the tunnel worker, and Alice the nun to show how the colonial powers
dominated over them, marginalized and alienated them in a city where they sought home. He
shows how the barriers of language, culture and beliefs hold these individuals back and
imprison them in "the tunnels and the stockyards". They were denied even the right to
communicate in their own language. This is because of the " rule of the city", a city that
imposes on them their philosophies and values on struggling. It made them known only by
their trade, "A starrer of roads, a house builder, a painter, a thief". Ondaatje resorts to The
Epic of Gilgamesh to suggest thematically the title of his novel as In the Skin of a Lion. He
emphasizes the idea of assuming the skin of a lion to take action because each one has
responsibility in life. To sum up, the novel is a call to provide the opportunity for the once
marginalized persons to stand and to be heard. In other words, the novel is about the
transformation of identities in the shed of the colonialism.

In his masterpiece ’The Prophet’, Kahlil Gibran presents his unwavering faith and passionate belief in the healing power of universal love that brings humans to sublime ideas and elevates their souls and behavior. The current study aims to find out the stylistic devices utilized to represent the concept of love based on the hypothesis that Gibran tends to use certain stylistic effects to convey his meaning. The study adopts Leech and Short’s (2007) framework of stylistic analysis to analyze the lexical items and figures of speech in selected extracts from the book. The findings reveal that Gibran prefers concrete nouns, dynamic verbs, and physical adjectives over abstract nouns, stative verbs, and psychological adjectives to s

Schizophrenia (ZP) is a common devastating cognitive disorder; however, the etiology of its incidence remains largely unclear yet. Although some evidence blames both environ ment and genetic factor as main drivers of ZP, but the clear mechanism of their effect elusive till now. Of interest, severe anemia conditions can lead to hypoxia in CNS which disturbs the normal structures and functions of some area in the brain resulting in abnormalities in the neurons communications and decrease synaptic plasticity. Additionally, modulation of cytoskeleton constituents is thought to participate to ZP development. Recently, it has been revealed that iron deficiency, which is the main cause of anemia, has a significant impact on the cytoskeleton

The main objective of this paper is to develop and validate flow injection method, a precise, accurate, simple, economic, low cost and specific turbidimetric method for the quantitative determination of mebeverine hydrochloride (MbH) in pharmaceutical preparations. A homemade NAG Dual & Solo (0-180º) analyser which contains two identical detections units (cell 1 and 2) was applied for turbidity measurements. The developed method was optimized for different chemical and physical parameters such as perception reagent concentrations, aqueous salts solutions, flow rate, the intensity of the sources light, sample volume, mixing coil and purge time. The correlation coefficients (r) of the developed method were 0.9980 and 0.9986 for cell
