The city subjects to heavy migration because of urbanization. Due to this reason, the living conditions also vary from place to place in the city. The immigrants are often concerned about their mobility and accessibility to dierent civic services. Hence, selection of a living area becomes an important factor for an inhabitant physically, mentally and nancially. However, systematic methodology has not been implemented to evaluate these living conditions. This study explicates utilizing of hotspot analysis and Network Analysis extension of ArcGIS to extrapolate crime and the accessibility to six fundamental civic services including education, healthcare, public parks, shopping centres and emergency response (re ghting and ambulance) from dierent neighbourhoods of the city. Weighted overlay approach is utilized to aggregate above the criteria and nd the most inhabitable neighbourhoods in the city. The study indicates the best area as neighbourhoods with least crime and easiest accessibility to all mentioned fundamental services\". Accessibility to each civic service is calculated by the service area and converted to a raster data which further aggregates them into a single raster using the above mentioned weighted overlay approach. After exporting the graphical model as a python script, the system is further developed to handle and return the dynamic in uence rate based on the user inputs and ultimately the user obtains results for the best area. Then, the generated map automatically gets uploaded into the geo-server and the users can view the nal liveability map on a dedicated web platform. Based on the approaches such as network analysis, multi criteria evaluation and decision support system, this study assists in selecting a neighbourhood on the basis of selected criteria by a particular user and also helps urban planners to identify design gaps in urban areas related to each criteria.","PeriodicalId":363402,"journal":{"name":"Sabaragamuwa University Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123055010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be termed `ex-timated' ctionalization, where the inner is intimately ex-centred with outer. This sense rises from Naipaul's territorial dislocation that does not indicate a decisive ontological detachment from the postcolonial reality that he is alienated with. His de-territorialization is unable to fully embrace the new metropolitan reality and forget the former completely, as shown mainly in ctional characters i.e. Salim ( A Bend in the River ) and Ralph Singh ( The Mimic Men ). This review considers The Mimic Mento explore this postcolonial situation, even though the symptom is visible even in his other novels, where major characters are positioned between tradition and modernity that emerged from post-colonial reality. While accepting the fact that his repetitive literary revisits to postcolonial Asia and Africa could provide the objective reality within the failed project of decolonization, a Zizekian analysis suggests that Naipaul could not eectively elevate himself from his Heidaggerian `out-of-joint' situation and exploit his `homelessness' to discover a better reality. Instead, he is ex-timately conned to an `ex-static' ( or ex-centric ) postcolonial situation that leaves him in the deadlock of `de-personalized objective narrations' and `situational consciousness' of Third World Literature. On the basis of the said extimated alienation of Naipaul's existential literary endeavor, this review suggests that to understand the postcolonial situation better, Zizek's idea of extimacy is of substantial signicance.","PeriodicalId":363402,"journal":{"name":"Sabaragamuwa University Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128903049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Visco-elastic properties such as wet gluten and gluten index of our samples decreased during storage and more markedly aecting the our quality at room temperature storage. Biological and microbiological characteristics were in uenced by storage temperature since the water activity was the main factor in uencing their survival.

Therefore it is essential to study body dynamics as well as the dynamic properties of exercise apparatus to minimize the execution errors. In the present study, performance of long swing movement under the parallel bars by national level gymnast of China (mass 50.4 kg) were evaluated. The time history of middle points of wooden bars and all joint angles were measured using a system of ten high speed cameras (100 Hz). The ViconT40 digitizing software was used to find all coordinates of reflective markers (14 mm) which were attached on parallel bar-gymnast system. Based on the overall readings, a 3D mathematical model for the parallel bars apparatus was developed using four damped spring-mass model (Kx = 28601 N.m-1, KY = 10830 and KZ = 19101 N.m-1) with linear displacement-force characteristics. A gymnast (50.4 kg) applied maximum horizontal force (Fx=584 N) to perform `long swing double tucked saltos' to upper arm support on the parallel bars. In this time, the particular vertical force (Fz) and arm angle (a) with X-axis are 488 N and 730 3' respectively. This 3D model can demonstrate dynamic properties of the parallel bars interacting with any long swing movement for any gymnast.","PeriodicalId":363402,"journal":{"name":"Sabaragamuwa University Journal","volume":"363 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122834648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main responsible reason for the CKDu has not yet been identied and hence many scientists have suggested number of certain risk factors where the CKDu-mfo (CKDu multi-factorial origin) term derived. However it relates with certain drinking water quality parameters strongly. This study was focused on evaluating the drinking water quality of Ulagalla cascade in Anuradhapura district with admiration to CKDu. Thirty wells and twenty tanks were selected as sampling locations for groundwater (GW) and surface water (SW) respectively from the cascade. Water quality parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), turbidity, Sodium (Na+), Magnesium (Mg2+), Calcium (Ca2+), Potassium (K+), Arsenic (As2+), Lead (Pb2+), Cadmium (Cd2+), Ammonium Nitrogen (NH4+-N), Nitrate Nitrogen (NO3 - -N), alkalinity, Sulphate (SO4 2-, Chloride (Cl-) and Phosphate (PO43-) were analysed and observed parameters were compared with drinking water quality standards. In GW turbidity, Mg, Cl- and Cd were not signicantly dierent from the maximum permissible level (p>0.05) while SW has shown signicant dierence only for the turbidity (p>0.05). Both well and tank water samples from Thodamaduwa were polluted by Cd which exceeded the maximum permissible level standards. It was recorded as averages of 0.15, 0.13 and 0.019 ppb for 3 identied polluted wells in GW and 0.01ppb in tank water. Accordingly the study it can be suggested that cumulative levels of heavy metals (such as Cd) may be aggravating the CKDu in the Northern Central Parts in Sri Lanka.","PeriodicalId":363402,"journal":{"name":"Sabaragamuwa University Journal","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129390600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Denis Diderot's The Nun is an excellent historical novel which endeavors to show the functioning of the European families during an era when the Catholic Church and Christian faith had ample power over the rhythm of life, family inheritances and marriage. It paints with great vivacity the cry of a young girl who had to enter into the cruel, inhuman world of religion against her will but with abnegation. Similarly, Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles depicts the downtrodden rights of the women in Victorian era and their distress occurred due to the society, family and the Catholic Church. Tess who is as the same age as of Suzanne in The Nun goes through a similar pain and distress and both of them break down under the weight of tough conditions in life. The church which is expected to be the cure, stands as a whammy in these young girls' lives. The aim of this paper is to analyse the way the distrust of Roman Catholicism was depicted in 18th century French novel and in its 19th century English counterpart. What more, this study focuses on the in uence of 18th century French literature over the 19th century English literature and how Denis Diderot's portrayal of Catholic Church is re ected in Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles.","PeriodicalId":363402,"journal":{"name":"Sabaragamuwa University Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116247986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study intended to appraise the role of policies and procedures in Sustainable Rural Tourism Development (SRTD) with the naturalistic evidences from tourism development in rural Sri Lanka. It employed critical qualitative research design to bring forth the interpretations from natural setting through personal interviews, direct observation and field notes in addition to a wide documental review. Documental reviews illuminate a number of ideals of SRTD in supporting local community empowerment, regenerating rural livelihoods, preserving and conserving socio-culture and environment. However, in reality socially constructed world of rural Sri Lanka reveals that the sustainable rural tourism development is curtailed by the inappropriate and unsteady policy formulation and implementation.
