Item Illusion, Deception and Dehumanization: Neocolonial Reinforcementof Colonial Legacy and the Role of English(CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2010-12) Alam, Mohammed SarwarUnder the holy mask of civilizing the world, colonizers have done the unholy task of forming and deforming societies to serve their vested interests. Over centuries, they have skillfully dominated colonized societies through illusion, deception and dehumanization. In the face of national liberation movements, they had to retreat physically, but the inhuman legacy they left behind continues to benefit them in the absence of strong resistive decolonizing discourses. Predatory globalization, through destructive development culture is now the prevailing mode of recolonization which is turning our dreams for a just global society into an ever illusive one. In this context, echoing the views expressed in “On the Abolition of the English Department” (Ngugi: 1968), this paper argues that English Language and Literature departments have been largely responsible for not forming a strong decolonizing culture and discourse. Also, this paper arrives at an understanding that like Caliban in Shakespeare, English Language now, with growing awareness across the globe, could be used to expose, curse and resist deceptions of the recolonizing forces.Item In vitro Study on Interaction of Ketotifen Fumerate with Paracetamol(CRP, International Islamic University Chittagong, Bangladesh, 2010-12) Sayeed, Mohammed Aktar; Rana, SohelInteraction of ketotifen fumerate and paracetamol was studied in aqueous media. The ability of interaction of ketotifen with paracetamol is dependent on pH of the solution and it has been found that ketotifen forms 1:1 complexes at different pH. The stability constants have been calculated from the Ardon’s spectrophotomeric measurements of the reaction systems. When ketotifen was interacted with paracetamol and the absorbance was determined at 300 nm the stability constants were found of -7.32 and -7.84 at pH 1.6 and 7.4 respectively.
