    This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in English, 2018.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 32-35).The Dissertation seeks to explore and comprehend the 18th century and Victorian perception towards female sexuality, desire and sexual crime by reading the works of Eliza Haywood, and Thomas Hardy. In doing so, this thesis seeks to incorporate the social environment of interpretation. It explores and links societal factors with literary productions. It looks at the aforementioned issues in these novels as a way to understand the society’s notions and judgments concerning these. Victim’s treatment, discernment of the society and her subsequent abandonment, women’s desire and sexual freedom are studied critically. In Eliza Haywood’s novella Fantomina the protagonist is a young woman who yearns for freedom and breaks the sexual codes of the time. Through the use of disguise and masquerade the protagonist Fantomina explores her sexuality which was a sin in the eye of the conservative society of Haywood. On the other hand, Thomas Hardy’s Protagonist Tess from the novel Tess of d’Urbervilles is persecuted throughout her life and is killed by the male chauvinistic Victorian society. Thus, both Haywood and Hardy have shown the sexual double standards of the English society through their works. They have also shown the manifold restrictions and repressions imposed on women and how these hypocrisies result on women’s sufferings and withdrawals.Nusrat Karim AnnanyaB.A. in Englis

    Role of statins as antagonists of 1DHF in cancer

    This project report is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Pharmacy, 2018.Catalogued from PDF version of project report.Includes bibliographical references (page 47-54).Cancer involves the uncontrollable and abnormal proliferation of cells in the body and is among the leading causes of deaths worldwide. The enzyme, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) referred to as 1DHF functions as a precursor for the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine bases and is critical for the de novo synthesis of DNA. Maintenance of the normal levels of folate is extremely important, since disruption in the folate metabolism pathway has a lethal effect on rapidly proliferating cells, such as the bone marrow and red blood cells particularly because the normal cell division process gets hampered. A key feature of cancer cells is abnormal cell division or cell mitosis. 1DHF is highly expressed in cancer cells, which makes it a potential target for anti-cancer drug development. A positive correlation between cholesterol accumulation and cancer provide insights into further investigation of anti-cancer indication of statin drugs. In this study, data science, drug repurposing, and other in silico computational techniques have been employed to find a potential statin antagonist of 1DHF that would not only lower serum cholesterol levels but also successfully inhibit the folic acid biosynthetic pathway. The merits of drug repurposing include a safer, cost-effective, productive and more efficient drug. Molecular docking of statin drugs with the proteins 1DHF was carried out using PyRx and the drug-protein interactions were identified using Discovery Studio. The structure of the protein was validated using Ramachandran plot, z-scores, Errat and Verify 3D, and a z-score of -9.09 for 1DHF was obtained. The potential statin small molecules chosen were Pravastatin, Pitavastatin, Rosuvastatin and Simvastatin. Amongst these small molecules, Pitavastatin showed the highest binding affinity (-12.7Kcal/Mol) which indicates that Pitavastatin may possibly reduce the risk of cancer development. It may be given as an adjunct drug to cancer patients, with high levels of LDL, with their anti-cancer therapy. The main aim of this study was to find a statin drug that targeted 1DHF in the treatment of cancer and the statin drug Pitavastatin demonstrated such effect; however, they are required in doses much higher than that of patients receiving the usual statin treatment for hypercholesterolemia. Due to the advantages associated with drug repositioning, it is widely used. The study shows that the statin drug Pitavastatin, may have significant anti-cancer property as they bind with 1DHF with a high binding affinity. Thus,drug repositioning may be used in combination with other oncology therapeutics to obtain a credible drug treatment by causing necrosis of malignant cells.Nashrah MustafaB. Pharmac

    Analysing the Arab-Israeli identity crisis in the author Sayed Kashua’s Dancing Arabs and Let It Be Morning

    This thesis is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in English, 2018.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 47-50)."Israeli Arab”, how humiliating is this name no matter how many will try to soften it. And frankly, it makes no difference if we call ourselves instead "Palestinian citizens of Israel" or even "the Palestinian minority”…Whatever specific name is used, the underlining message remains the same: "Israeli Arab" - an oxymoron. - Sayed Kashua, (So Humiliating Is This Name) As an Arab-Israeli, author Sayed Kashua asks the important questions: whether the indigenous Arabs of Israel are permitted to consider Israel as their home. The author shades light into the subaltern lives of the Arab/Palestinian-Israeli citizens in the ethnocratic Israel, where one’s national and ethnic identity collide. The contemporary Hebrew writer narrates the sociopolitical situation of the community along with its social segregation and hierarchy, the duality of identity, and the politics of language and narratives. Kashua comments as well as criticises the state of Israel, Arab world and Arab mentality and annihilates the established stereotypes in a profoundly personal but anecdote manner. This thesis investigates Kashua’s book Dancing Arab and Let It Be Morning from the lenses of historical past, to study and analyse the unfamiliar stories of the Arab minority in Israel affected by the endless Palestinian-Israel conflict in the light of literary and critical theory.

And then I will tell it back to you in a new way. Tell it back to you in such a way that it has become mine, my own. Re-writing you I write myself anew. I am still author, authority. I am still colonizer the speaking subject and you are now at the center of my talk. (bell hooks, ‘Marginality as a site of resistance’, 1990: 241–3)Faria RowshanM.A. in Englis
