A comparative study of grammatical aspect in English, Kurdish, and Persian
English, Kurdish, and Persian belong to Indo-European languages and they have the same proto form so they are called related (family) languages. As these languages have the same common ancestor, it is clear that they have some similar linguistic items regarding syntax, semantics, morphology, pragmatics, etc. But as they are spoken in different distinct areas, they may have some differences regarding these items. One of these linguistic items is grammatical aspect. This study was conducted to define and describe the concept and function of grammatical aspect in languages like English, Kurdish, and Persian to find if there were any similarities and differences among them. To do this, first the notions of aspect, tense, and time and also the difference between grammatical and lexical aspect were defined clearly. Then grammatical aspect was defined and described in each language by drawing separate tables. At the other part of the article, I compared grammatical aspect in three languages and found that there were some similarities and differences among these languages concerning grammatical aspect. Finally, the article concluded with making some conclusions and recommendation for those who want to learn these languages as second or foreign language. I hope this study can help the learners and teachers in facilitating the process of teaching/learning, and so do for translators and researchers to do their work better.

Synthesis and antimicrobial studies of some new s-triazine based chalcones, acetylpyrazolines and aminopyrimides
Some new chalcones, 2-4 bis (tetrahydro - 1,4-oxazine)-6-[4'-{3''-(substituted phenyl) -2''-propenon-1''-yl} phenyl amino]-s-triazine (6a-f) have been achieved by the reaction between 2-4-(bis- tetrahydro- 1,4-oxazine) -6-(4'-acetylphenylamino)-s-triazine (5) and different aromatic aldehydes, which on cyclisation with hydrazine hydrate in presence of acetic acid give acetyl pyrazolines (7a-f). Chalcones (6a-f) on cyclisation with guanidine hydrochloride in presence o f alkali give aminopyrimidines (8a-f). The characterization of newly synthesised compounds has been done on the basis of IR, 1H NMR spectral data as well as elemental analysis. All the synthesised compounds have been screened for their antimicrobial activity.

Essential attributes in the corporate reports
MIS is an organizational information system which supports not only operations but also the management processes by providing the 'right information’ to the ‘right people’ at the ‘right time’ and at the ‘right cost’. The information is said to be right when it possesses all the attributes like timeliness, accuracy and reliability, adequacy, consistency and uniformity, brevity, need based, economy, predictive ability, etc. Right people means 'one information not to all the decision makers and all the information not to one decision maker’. Right time and right cost do not need any explanation. When these four rights are right, MIS is bound to be right and effective in discharging its role.

Operation of quality circles in educational institutions of higher learning: a case study
By refusing to separate the management and workforce into water-tight compartments, the concept of Quality Circles made a radical departure from the western style of management. In the Quality Circle approach, the task performers at the grass-root level are given the privilege of participation in progress and to have a say in the work they do. Similarly, when we apply in academics, we suppose that people performing the tasks can rise to the occasion, solve their problems and recommend solutions provided the knowledge to analyze their problems is given. Ownership and responsibility towards the task are passed to the teachers and students doing the job. Quality Circles in academics do not segregate management, teachers and students into different blocks but treat them all as seekers of truth, together treading the path of knowledge. This in essence is the conceptual frame of the Quality Circles when we apply them in education.
