Abstract: Environmental ethics, human attitudes and values that influence individual behavior and government policy towards nature, are capable of governing human actions which affect the nature. (Callicott, 1995; Jardins, 2001) Since the adequate recognition of potentially important role of environmental ethics to promote sustainable development, study on theancient cultural assumptions, standards, and analytic techniques is significant. Sri Lanka with its rich culture and roots of ancient civilization has shown substantial evidences of application of modern sustainable environmental and resource utilization concepts and theories in ancient periods. The role played by Sri Lankan traditional environmental ethics on conserving the biodiversity in ancient times was immense. Even though the island is endowed with rich fauna and flora and ranked as the country with the highest biodiversity per unit area among Asian countries for flowering plants and vertebrates except birds (Mahindapala, 2002),  traditional environmental ethics on conservation of biodiversity  has been diminishing and diluting over past years. Despite accepting this vicissitude, it is essential to hand down those prevailed traditional environmental ethics to our posterity. In this study, the main objective was to provide a lucid overview of the environmental ethics on conserving biodiversity, highlighting the key religious and traditional practices of Sri Lankan communities with a special attention on conservation of floristic diversity. The study was conducted by critically reviewing the published literature on ancient environmental ethics of Sri Lanka regarding grassroots struggles to control pollution, maintaining and managing the ecosystem; restoring and recreating the ecosystem, and maintain threatened flora while preserving peoples' economic well-being. Ethics for preserving the environment should be uphold at each level of the society in general to ensure the sustainable development.

Abstract: Present study aimed to adapt the Counterproductive Work Behavior Checklist (Spector et al., 2006), by providing an Urdu version of the said scale which has been validated upon the indigenous population. For this purpose ITC (2010) guidelines were followed, & the resultant scale after pilot testing (N=60) was validated by administration on 450 working adults, including males (N=288), & females (N=162).107 were re-administered for test-retest reliability (males= 60, females=47). Reliability Analysis was carried out by assessing Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient, Split-half (Guttman) reliability, & Test-retest reliability.  For validity analysis, scores on CWB-C 45, & 32 were correlated with scores of Subjective Job Stress Scale (Motowidlo et al., 1986), Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965), & Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985).

Abstract: The study is designed to evaluate the impact of TB on farmer's food security in the Gash delta. It depends mainly on primary and secondary data, the primary data was collected by questionnaire through direct interview of the respondents in the Gash delta agricultural scheme. The sample covers 100 farmers of TB morbidity and debility cases selected randomly from the farmers in the area, who cultivated their land, using the registration list in Aroma, Kassala and Wager hospitals after diagnosis of the disease, another 100 healthy farmers were selected using the same method of sample selection. (The total sample size was 200 farmers). Secondary data was collected from different sources including, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health, National TB programme (NTP), Gash delta agricultural scheme, Kassala, Aroma, Wager hospitals, institute of endemic diseases (University of Khartoum), WHO, different net web sites and others official reports related to the field of the study. To test the hypothesis of the study, (1) Descriptive statistics methods have been used throughout the study includes, (frequency distributions, percentage and means), to determine the frequency distributions of the infected and healthy farmers with respects to the selected variables. (2) Correlation matrix was used to determine the relationship between the variables. The main result of the study explains that, Food security is positively correlated with the Farmer's educational level, Family size, Health status, Total cultivated area, Sowing date, Harvesting time, Cultivation cost, Number of working daily hours, Labour cost, Farmer's productivity, And negatively correlated with the number of lost seasons. Finally, a set of recommendations were generated which aimed to reduce TB infection and disease in the Gash delta, (1) Periodic test and prevention of the disease, (2) Isolation of the patient farmers with active disease, before starting effective anti-tuberculosis therapy, so as to break the chain of transmission of the disease among the farmers, (3) Adequate TB control and management program is needed and integration into primary health care, (4) There is a need of health education to teach the farmers about TB disease and how to avoid its infection, (5) Nutritional programmes, to teach the Hadandwa women about the importance of the varieties of food and their processing, specially milk pasteralization,  (6) Re-habitation of health units in the deferent areas of the Gash delta and provide them with the required health services so as the infected farmers need not to travel outside the area, (7) Aroma hospital should have to coordinate with the Gash delta agricultural scheme to play an effective role in reaching and looking after the patient farmers, (8) The Gash delta agricultural scheme management should have to seek a way for supporting the patient farmer's income, (9) Good ventilation of houses and avoid overcrowding as much as possible, (10 ) TB control programme in Kassala state should have nutrition- based intervention for the infected farmers, (11) The state government should have to compensate the infected farmers for the lost seasons, (12) Incorporate the international NGOs, (13) To make more studied on this subject by the researchers in the future.
