Of the 100 patients, 32% of the left eye had left visual field, 17% had advanced visual field defect, 13% had normal cupped visual field, 11% had excellent visual field defect, 11% had temporal islet visual field, 8% had nasal stage, and 10 % can't do it because of poor eyesight. Of 100 patients, 52% had tritan deficiency in right eye, 42% left eye, 11% dutran deficiency in right eye, 17% left eye, 2% bilateral propane deficiency, 4% only blue defect. Right eye 2%, left eye 2%, right eye 2% yellow defect only, left eye 9%, right eye 21% normal color vision, left eye 20%, unable to rest due to reduced visual acuity.

CONCLUSIONS: Most PACG patients have hyperopia. It is most often manifested by late visual field defect, severe intraocular pressure, late glaucomatous changes, decreased contrast sensitivity in both eyes, and trichromatic abnormality. Prognosis of the disease can be prevented through prompt identification of risk factors, early diagnosis, appropriate investigation, and appropriate management.

Is 'Good Governance' a Necessary Prerequisite for Development? a Critical Review of the Good Governance Discourse

2023-01-28T07:15:23+00:00

This article reviews key arguments for the role of 'good governance' in stimulating economic development. In some cases, neoliberal “good governance” has served to spur economic development, but in many other cases countries have achieved levels of economic development that lack many elements of “good governance” in their governance institutions. Thus, we conclude that “good governance” is not a necessary prerequisite for development, but can play a role in facilitating it. This document rejects the dominant ‘one size fits all’ approach to good governance in favor of ‘good enough governance’ that questions and prioritizes reform and makes it fit the individual country context.

From a historical and socio-political point of view, the possible situation in South Africa is that of the black majority living under an oppressive apartheid system engineered, manipulated and controlled by a white minority.

Racism here refers to a state of feeling alienated or separated from one's environment, whether culturally, socially, economically, politically or otherwise. Its impact on the social well-being of individuals cannot be overemphasized. South African playwright Athol Fugard's plays have a deep sympathy for the living conditions of black South Africans. The main literary themes of his plays include apartheid, oppression, extortion, and servitude. These and the inherent effects of apartheid laws on South Africa's oppressed are the main focus of Athol Fugard's plays. Sizwe Bansi is Dead is used as a case study in this submission.
