Seven years ago, I presented an oral communication “Nasal breathing technique in nasal airway obstruction. Viral infections in upper respiratory tract”, in the 20th World Congress of the International Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngologycal Societes, IFOS, Seoul, 2013. This is a technique based on physiological concepts of breathing, to avoid the use of nasal decongestants in a cold or flu. We have to breathe the air we exhale. It is air with a high concentration of CO2, but it is not toxic.

Physically Handicapped (PH) learners may lack in education if there are no environmental and instructional adaptations to enable them compete on equal footing with their non-disabled peers. Mathematics subject trains learners to think in quantitative terms. Performance in this subject has been the worst among the PH learners in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education as indicated in the results of the years 2008 to 2013.

A significant portion of the clientele of the university libraries is made up of the academic (teaching) staff. Therefore, these libraries are responsible for systematically understanding the information requirements and usage patterns of those academics, in order to better serve them. Hence, a theoretical model developed exclusively for these academics becomes crucial. Therefore, this study evaluated various models on the information seeking behaviour of diverse user groups with the aim of constructing a model to study the information seeking behaviour of the academics.

The ultimate aim of any business is to satisfy their customers. Many researchers in business and management areas have conducted different studies to measure the perception of the customer’s satisfaction; however, the actual thinking of customer’s mind is still questionable.
