4.Rising transport issues in both private and public transport In public transport in Mumbai, suburban railway and BEST bus share the majority proportion at around 88% of the public transport (2008). As traditionally considered, public transport service is the responsibility of the government, but due to the large population and limitation of resources in Mumbai, government-provided public transport service is rather inadequate and fail to meet the public demand.

terror and strengthening security” (Martens). This quote proves how fear has been manipulated by a military force to cause mass destruction, and preform terrible actions that are against human nature. With this large group the results of their use of fear on others is tragic. Continuing on with the online database, “Governments should also address the root causes of terrorism, notably political alienation due to prejudice, state-sponsored violence and poverty” (Martens). Finally, we have a…

During the Cold War era, the United States played a large part in European affairs by attempting to dominate European countries’ domestic politics. By exaggerating America’s influence in Europe, the role of European countries is underestimated. While many textbooks will support this argument, Mark Gilbert opposes this idea and demonstrates the true extent of American, as well as internal, involvement in Europe. While Gilbert’s thesis is satisfactory within this context, it could also be applied…

However, Jim just follows along with the motions and learns to adopt them all because of this woman. “I marched out there on the street, feeling exposed and conspicuous, but marching nonetheless-- for Alena’s sake and for the sake of the foxes and martens and all the rest, and for my own sake too”(570).

But as I looked at my brother’s and my cousin’s eyes, they were full of tears, and it turned out that it’s all real. At that time, I realized how important his…

nutrient reserves to increase crop yield (Martens 2001). In organic systems, producers often use tillage as weed control. Inclusion of tillage with fallow in crop rotation promotes N leaching (Kessavalou et al., 1998; Sainji et al., 2009). This occurs through leaching, volatilization and denitrification (Sainji et al., 2009). Tillage has a similar impact as fallow on N leaching and also affects SOM content, soil structure and soil biological activities (Martens, 2001). As main channels for N…

Anxiety and Sport Performance – Measurement and Regulation. Selye, (1983) (Cited in Cox, 2007, p.198) describes anxiety as a multidimensional emotion that is triggered by either eustress or distress. It has a trait component, which reflects personality dispositions, and a state component, which is situation specific. Both trait and state anxiety display cognitive (mental) and somatic (physical) symptoms (Kais, 2005). He describes how anxiety can have positive, facilitating or negative,…
