    English is used as an international language and communication tool, and it plays a more and more important role in the world. However, from the four basic skills of English - listening, speaking, reading and writing, writing needs the most comprehensive knowledge, the strongest application, and the most difficult training. In order to find out the problems which exist in the cultivation of writing ability of university students, the author had a survey in candidates of Ph.D. course at the University of Information Technology in their writing. The objective of this investigation is to analyze the grammatical mistakes in English writing, explore the systematic reasons and finally put forward some corresponding solutions to improve writing. This research aimed to identify and analyze such grammatical difficulties in order to help teachers in identifying grammatical errors commonly made by second language learners of English. The two kinds of research methods such as qualitative and quantitative research are used in this paper. The result of this research shows that the major kinds of errors made by the students are related to wrong word usage, articles, verbs, and tenses. First, it is hoped that these findings show how writing might be used to enhance learning and thinking will be outlined. Second, current practices regarding the use of writing in the classroom will be described. Third, seminal studies that have addressed the links between writing and learning, and between writing and thinking will be reviewed. Fourth, studies that have specifically investigated the strategic role of writing will be discussed

    Autor prezentuje tradycje unii horodelskiej funkcjonujące w świadomości narodowej czasu zaborów. Artykuł przypomina wydarzenia związane ze Zjazdem Horodelskim 1861 roku, podczas którego dokonano podpisania Aktu Odnowienia Unii Horodelskiej, w którym apelowano o jedność działania wszystkich synów przedrozbiorowej Rzeczypospolitej z wyraźnym akcentem trójpodziału doskonale uwidocznionym w heraldyce, gdzie obok Orła Białego i Pogoni swe miejsce znalazł też Archanioł. Przywołana idea trzech równych sobie narodów wobec dążeń emancypacyjnych Litwy oraz Rusi spełgnęła na niczym. O jej dążeniach przypominała jeszcze w 1883 r. paryska emigracja jednakże próby odtworzenia trójnarodowej Rzeczypospolitej nie powiodły się już nigdy, pozostając piękną ideą przywołującą dziś w pamięci romantyczną wizję naszych przodków.The author presents traditions of the Union of Horodło that existed in national consciousness during the period of annexation. The article reminds some events related to Horodło Congress in 1861, when the Union of Horodło Renewal Act was concluded. The treaty appealed for united action of every son of Polish Republic before annexation and emphasized on three-part division, perfectly revealed in heraldry: the Archangel was placed next to the White Eagle and Pahonia. The concept of three equal nations couldn’t win with the Lithuanian and Rus’ striving for emancipation. In 1883 the Paris emigration recalled these aspirations, but attempts of reconstruction of Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian Commonwealth failed. They remained a beautiful idea reminding us a romantic vision of our forefathers

    Epidemiological study to support the establishment of a progressive zoning approach for the control of Foot and Mouth Disease in Myanmar

    Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease which has a significant impact on the economy and livestock productivity of affected countries. The research reported in this thesis involved investigation of the epidemiology of FMD in a potentially free (Tanintharyi) and an endemic (Sagaing) region of Myanmar. The animal level sero-prevalence in the Sagaing was high (42%, 95% CI 37.7 - 47.1) in contrast to that in Tanintharyi Division (11.7%, 5.9 - 17.4). Possible source of FMD in those locations may be due to communal grazing, using only underground water sources, purchasing cattle in March annually as a logestic regression model. In contrast, FMD was negative associated with trading of cattle within the same village where the farmers possessed less than only 10 cattle. During this study, the traditional Dutaik meeting approach which is conducted in rural area of Myanmar ,was developed as a participatory disease tool and was validated with data collected from serological surveys and questionnaire interviews. It was concluded that the MTD meeting approach is a suitable technique to use for detecting FMD with the significant advantages of time and cost effectiveness. It is proposed that the MTD meeting approach is suitable for use in progressive zoning for the control of FMD in Myanmar and can be used to actively involve farmers in the control program and to increase their awareness of the impact of FMD. In this study, a partial budgeting model with Monte Carlo simulation was developed to understand the influence of FMD on the economics of animal draught power, which is the major livestock input into the nation's agricultural enterprise. The model revealed losses to farmers were very high if outbreaks occurred every year. The findings of this study are useful for convincing farmers of the potential losses from FMD and the financial benefit in controlling the disease. The movements of livestock in the Sagaing Division and in the Tanintharyi Division were different, with movements in the Sagaing being more complex. These movement data support the decision to develop a potential free zone area for FMD without vaccination in the Tanintharyi Division (Myanmar MTM area). Positive results from a sero-surveillance study conducted in 2005 in the Tanintharyi Division were most likely false positive results. This was supported by findings from the MTD meetings where no evidence of clinical disease was reported by farmers in contrast to areas where the disease was endemic. It is concluded that the use of a zoning approach with vaccination in the endemic area of the Sagaing Division is an appropriate option for the control of FMD. At this stage it is not feasible to undertake control and eradication of FMD in the whole country. The complex animal movement patterns and the endemic nature of the disease pose real challenges for its control. However, in Myanmar the MTD meeting approach is a cost-effective option for surveillance to improve the FMD status early in an eradication campaign
