This paper does not assume that UNESCO was ineffective in communicating its approach to ESD; rather, the premise is that UNESCO’s actual message was not well received by everyone, with some pushing back with alternative communicatio...

Synthesis of Baclofen; an Alternative Approach

g -Aminobutiric acid (GABA), the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system has two major receptor subtypes (GABAA and GABAB). GABAB receptors are activated by the antispastic and muscle relaxant agent, Baclofen, which is a lipophilic derivative of GABA. Since 1962 several strategies have been reported for the synthesis of baclofen.In this study an approach has been made to...

Thinking about Research in Continuing Education: A Meta-theoretical Primer

Every approach to conducting research in continuing education involves background assumptions about the nature of what is being studied, the means through which one can acquire knowledge, and the purpose of the research process itself. Although often not explicitly declared, these assumptions have a significant bearing on the choice of research questions, the methods employed to investigate tho...
