Show MoreThis article exposes how George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) launches severe attacks against all the vices and the social maladies that were widely spread in his time especially the romantic notions about war and soldering. This study is a qualitative study. Through satire, George Bernard Shaw mocks on and ridicules all the follies and the misconceptions of the characters in war and militarism in his well-known play Arms and the Man (1894). Here the dramatist satirizes the romantic notions of war that glorify such a terrible event. Shaw’s message is that there can be peaceful alternatives to perpetual fighting. He was dedicated throughout his life to curbing violence, especially that of wars, and Arms and the Man was one of the vehicles he us

They are highly pressurized by life and its bitter reality. Adding to that they are haunted by their fear from the future. They are escapist who try their best to hide behind a protective shield. Their tireless search for security is never smothering. Their only possible defensive mechanism is to flee from their immediate hostile and aggressive surrounding. To achieve this aim, each character has improvised a method that suits him / her best. For example, one of the characters (Tom) sought refuge in alcohol and late night shows.

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of substituting wheat flour with rice flour and fortifying it with varying concentrations of dextran in the mixtures utilized for biscuit production. Additionally, the study aims to examine the flakiness and qualitative features of the resulting biscuits. The findings indicated that there was a positive correlation between the percentage of dextran and the diffusion coefficient of the biscuits. Specifically, the diffusion coefficient increased as the percentage of dextran increased. For instance, the diffusion coefficient reached 10.8 cm when the biscuits were treated with a 3.5% replacement of dextran, and it further increased to 12.8 cm when the biscuits were treated with
