Search for Identity in Michael Ondaatje's Post colonial Novel In the Skin of a Lion
...Show More Authors

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.

Fixed Point Theorems in General Metric Space with an Application
...Show More Authors

   This paper aims to prove an existence theorem for Voltera-type equation in a generalized G- metric space, called the -metric space, where the fixed-point theorem in - metric space is discussed and its application.  First, a new contraction of Hardy-Rogess type is presented and also then fixed point theorem is established for these contractions in the setup of -metric spaces. As application, an existence result for Voltera integral equation is obtained.

Some New Fixed Point Theorems in Weak Partial Metric Spaces
...Show More Authors

The main objective of this work is to introduce and investigate fixed point (F. p) theorems for maps that satisfy contractive conditions in weak partial metric spaces (W.P.M.S), and give some new generalization of the fixed point theorems of Mathews and Heckmann. Our results extend, and unify a multitude of (F. p) theorems and generalize some results in (W.P.M.S). An example is given as an illustration of our results.

Comparison of Estimates Nonparametric In Multiple Regression Analysis Function (Gamma ,Beta)
...Show More Authors

The use of non-parametric models and subsequent estimation methods requires that many of the initial conditions that must be met to represent those models of society under study are appropriate, prompting researchers to look for more flexible models, which are represented by non-parametric models                  

          In this study, the most important and most widespread estimations of the estimation of the nonlinear regression function were investigated using Nadaraya-Watson and Regression Local Ploynomial, which are one of the types of non-linear
