  • University of Jyväskylä the Characteristic Lexical
    UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ THE CHARACTERISTIC LEXICAL FEATURES OF STANDARD SRI LANKAN ENGLISH A Pro Gradu Thesis in English by Mirka Vuorivirta Department of Languages 2006 2 HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA KIELTEN LAITOS Mirka Vuorivirta THE CHARACTERISTIC LEXICAL FEATURES OF STANDARD SRI LANKAN ENGLISH Pro Gradu – tutkielma Englannin kieli Heinäkuu 2006 103 sivua + liite Englannin kieli on vuosien saatossa levinnyt ympäri maailmaa ja tänä päivänä sitä käytetään joka mantereella. Englannin kieli itsessään ei kuitenkaan ole pysynyt samana, vaan sen kielioppi, sanasto ja ääntämys ovat muovautuneet paikallisten kielikontaktien ja kulttuurin/kulttuurien mukaan. Tänä päivänä useat tutkijat puhuvatkin englanneista monikossa, sen sijaan, että puhuttaisiin yhdestä englannin kielestä. Englannin kieliä, joita käytetään vanhoissa siirtomaissa, erityisesti Aasiassa, Afrikassa, Karibianmerellä ja Uudessa Seelannissa, kutsutaan nimellä Uudet englannit. Uudet englannit ovat kehittyneet kontakteista paikallisten kielien kanssa. Englannin kielen on täytynyt muovautua uuteen ympäristöön ja kulttuuriin omaksumalla sanastoa paikallisilta kieliltä ja keksimällä uusia sanoja oudoille käsitteille, joita englannin kieli ei tunne. Täten jokainen Uusi englanti on sanastollisesti, kieliopillisesti ja ääntämyksellisesti hieman toisistaan poikkeava. Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää Sri Lankan englannin sanastollisia erityispiirteitä. Toisin sanoen, millaisia sanoja käytetään Sri Lankan englannissa, joita ei esiinny muissa englannin varianteissa, ainakaan britti- ja amerikanenglanneissa.

  • Experiences and Understandings of a Group of Sri Lankan Migrants in Australia with Type Two Diabetes
    Controlling Diabetes or Keeping Life under Control? Experiences and Understandings of a Group of Sri Lankan Migrants in Australia with Type Two Diabetes Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March Two Thousand and Fourteen Prabhathi Basnayake Ralalage Centre for Health and Society University of Melbourne Thesis Abstract Diabetes is a key public health priority and a major health concern for many migrant communities including the Sri Lankan community here in Australia. Understanding people’s comprehensions of the disease and its management is essential to successfully address any related issues in order to avoid premature deaths and high public health costs. According to many health reports published over the past years Sri Lankan migrants have been identified as having a significantly higher prevalence of type two diabetes in Australia compared to the general Australian population. This ethnography revolves around a group of first generation Sri Lankan migrants with type two diabetes in Australia. This thesis relates their story of encountering and dealing with difficulties and complexities of migrant life while having to build a ‘successful’ life in Australia and also having to concurrently manage a chronic illness. While arguing that understanding of diabetes management cannot be just reduced or confined to level of compliance to medical advice and blood sugar measurement readings on the glucometer, I point out in the research that the stories of Sri Lankans with diabetes in a developed country are different to the stories of other South Asian migrants with diabetes living elsewhere in the world as examined in other studies.

  • Features White Flour and Are at High Risk for Dia- Betes
    10 Wednesday 27th October, 2010 The Island Features white flour and are at high risk for dia- betes. If you can't handle the taste of natural garlic, you can take it in widely available supplements. Aloe vera [Komarika] is also a traditional diabetic remedy in the Unani system of Arabian medicine, and its thera- peutic characteristics are now gaining worldwide acceptance in the treatment of diabetes. According to both human and animal research studies, aloe vera lowers blood glucose levels by a mechanism that’s still unclear to researchers. According to the Clinicians Handbook of Natural Healing, this natural hypoglycemic effect extends to over a period of 24 hours. Adding onions to your diet (along with gar- lic and cinnamon) can also significantly reduce your blood sugar level. Additionally, according to the book: The Healing Power of Herbs, studies have demonstrated that ginseng controls blood glucose in both dia- betic humans and diabetic laboratory ani- mals. It all comes down to asking if putting yourself at risk for diabetic coma, blind- ness, limb amputation and death is it worth eating white bread. If you're willing to risk your quality-of-life and your life itself, then go ahead and eat all the foods made with refined white flour you want. However, if you want to stop poisoning yourself with alloxan, a known toxic chem- ical, then make a few simple dietary changes. Eat groceries made with whole- grain wheat flour and other acceptable and more nutritious substitutes, not processed wheat (white) flour. What you have read so far are the unvar- nished facts about the effects of eating refined wheat (white) flour products, the most common and widespread of which is bread.
