The proximate parameters (moisture, fat, protein, carbohydrate, ash and crude fiber) were evaluated by using AOAC methods whereas elemental analyses were carried-out by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results showed that R. sativus had highest moisture contents (15.46 ± 0.16%). The ash and protein contents were highest in M. sylvestris (18.48 ± 0.01% and 16.16 ± 0.32% respectively). E. sativa has highest fiber (14.64 ± 0.24%) contents while B. oleracaea had highest carbohydrate (86.22 ± 0.54%) and energy values (354.17±0.54 Kcal/100g). In case of micro and macro nutrient concentrations, the R. sativus had highest iron (13.03 ± 0.14), copper (9.96 ± 0.16), manganese (0.79 ± 0.01), cadmium (0.21 ± 0.01) and lead (0.44 ± 0.02) while E.

  • IVAP Census Profiling in Hangu – Final Report May/June 2012 (IVAP-II)
    IVAP census profiling in Hangu – Final report May/June 2012 (IVAP-II) 1. Introduction Since 2008, conflict has been a fluid process resulting in large-scale displacement of families into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province in north-west Pakistan from both the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and from elsewhere within KP. The IDP Vulnerability Assessment and Profiling (IVAP) was initiated in 2010 by the Policy and Strategy Meeting to be able to understand more about the movement and needs of these IDP families so as to inform an appropriate humanitarian response, ensuring that assistance is principled and needs-based. Between June 2010 and July 2011, IVAP-I carried out a door-to-door census based activity to identify and assess every IDP family and its members (on the basis of self-identification and an inclusion policy following the IDP Guiding Principles) in ten host districts in KP. The districts included Peshawar, Mardan, Nowshera, Charsadda, Swabi, Lower Dir, Kohat, Hangu, D.I.Khan and Tank. Over 92,000 families and 491,000 individuals were identified and profiled using a 70-question questionnaire (comprised of questions from all clusters) and their information recorded in the online IVAP live database (www.ivap.org.pk). Hangu district Hangu district is situated on the boundary of two FATA agencies: Orakzai and Kurram. Following military operations in these two agencies, the situation in Hangu is fragile. Furthermore, Hangu is strongly affected by sectarian issues. Due to security concerns in IVAP-I, the team was not able to access all areas of Hangu district. Most Union Councils (UCs) in Hangu Tehsil were covered, whilst no UCs in Thall Tehsil were reached.

STATEMENT OF DECISION AND REASONS APPLICATION FOR REVIEW 1. This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Immigration to refuse to grant the applicant a Protection (Class XA) visa under s.65 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act). 2.

The delegate refused to grant the visa [in] October 2012, and the applicant applied to the Tribunal for review of that decision. RELEVANT LAW 4.
