This study was conducted to identify the commuter‟s perception towards the bus base Park and Ride implementation in Colombo city limit. This study analyses the factors that commuters would consider when selecting park and ride system for their travel purpose. For the researcher to achieve the aforementioned objectives, the conceptual framework was structured based on secondary data which congregated by existing publications and articles. The research questionnaire was developed in order to gather primary data through google forms. Simple random sampling technique was used to distribute the questionnaire among the commuters who use seven corridors to enter Colombo city limit. Three hundred fifty-two responses were taken into consideration and analysis was done by taking them into one data base. The reliability of the collected data was analysed using Cronbach‟s alpha. The KMO test statistic for sample adequacy. Moreover, factor analysis was created based on the Principal Component Analysis by extracting 3 factors from the 22 Variables, the total amount of variance accounted, redistributed over the three extracted factors, renamed using Component Score Coefficient Matrix. Kruskal-Wallis Test was conducted for hypothesis testing and binary logistics analysis was conducted to identify the association of factors and for create a model. As per the Kruskal-Wallis test, author has found that most of the demographic variables were impacted to the commuter‟s perception toward the bus base PnR system. Mean values of the 22 variables were concluded that bus frequency, travel time and safety and security of PnR system were mostly influenced for selection of PnR system. Out of the extracted factors, service attribute and travel influences were having positive association toward the commuters‟ perception on PnR choice while comfortability factor was insignificant. As per the research findings, the overall commuters‟ perception on PnR can be concluded as strong positive perception.

Cruise tourism is the fastest growing industry in the leisure travel market, and annually nearly 30 million passengers engage in cruising. Thereby it encounters for massive negative impact on the marine environment. The cruise industry is under the leadership of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) which has over 95 % global capacity under the membership. CLIA establishes policies and procedures to undertake by its members to ensure the sustainability of the industry. The primary objective of the study is to explore the negative environmental impact caused by cruise shipping industry and the secondary objective is to recognize the contribution of CLIA towards mitigating the negative environmental impact. The study is conducted using an exploratory approach and the data is drawn from the official website of CLIA and other websites and publications regarding cruise tourism, waste management and environmental impacts. Cruise industry policies and environmental stewardship reports of CLIA are used to manifest the negative environmental impact caused by the cruise ships and implement policies and procedures to mitigate them using high end technology, driving towards sustainability. The study provides an understanding on how the implied mechanisms of CLIA is driving the cruise industry towards sustainability.

Services for freight transport have become an increasingly important aspect of global trade. The transport of freight cargo as a result of the shipping industry has very unique characteristics. The creation of container throughput volumes for this research is described in the sense of macroeconomic effect variables. This research will lead to the understanding of how the economic variables of Sri Lanka affect the volume rate of container throughput at Port of Colombo. The study question answered using hypothesis testing using data obtained from the Department of Census and Estimates, Central Bank Reports and Port Annual Reports, and the data is evaluated using a multiple linear regression model of E-Views. There is a linear relation with the defined economic variables for container throughput capacity, except for the inflation rate. There is also a clear correlation, except for the rate of inflation, between the economic variables and all the response variables. At Colombo Port, the Number of Imports & Exports of Sri Lanka were the most explanatory variables for container throughput ratios, where it is seen that Number of exports has a greater effect compared to the other macro-economic variables. In a more macroeconomic context, this analysis adds to the interpretation of container throughput volume trends. Further studies should concentrate on the evolution of broader datasets.

Enhancement of Private Education in Sri Lanka is becoming acceptable and provides more opportunities for students and teachers. Primary Education has been always the foundation of the individuals’ life. Therefore, in order to provide effective learning teaching process recruitment and selection of teachers is an integral part of a school since this leads to performance of teachers. Objective of the study is to examine the impact of the recruitment, selection process on performance of Primary School Teachers. It is mainly a quantitative study and complemented with the qualitative data. Population of the study was primary school teachers in headquarters and sample of the study size is hundred primary school teachers. Questionnaire, interviews documentary analysis were used as data collection instruments. Responses given by the teachers to see the level of performance indicated that highest level of performance positioned as averaged (47 per cent). Some Recruitment methods in ABC schools are newspaper advertisement, internal advertisement, internet advertisement, recruitment agencies, head hunting, transfer and promotion and transfer and retrenchment. School uses combination of recruitment methods to attract most suitable and qualified candidates rather than rely on one method. The study revealed that teachers impression about recruitment practices in the school and 61.5% have mentioned recruitment practice is effective, 14.6% have believed it was noneffective, 9.4 and 14.6% have responded the practice was poor and bias respectively. Further there was no statistically significant relationship between level of performance and recruitment methods. The study concluded that teachers’ performances were in averaged category and the recruitment and selection have association with performance of primary school teachers. However, the impact of recruitment and selection on performance of primary school teachers is low.

Emulgel is a novel topical drug delivery system which can overcome the major limitation of gel; limited delivery of hydrophobic drugs. Leea indica (Burm.f.) Merr. (Burulla) is a medicinal plant used in Sri Lankan Ayurvedic medicine for many therapeutic purposes. The present study was aimed to develop a novel herbal emulgel using Leea indica leaf extract and evaluate in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Different formulations (Fg1-Fg5) were prepared by incorporating freeze dried powder of 70% aqueous acetone leaf extract. All formulations (Fg1-Fg5) were tested for their physicochemical stability parameters such as pH, appearance, odor, homogeneity, spread ability, phase separation and washability for 60 days and they were subjected for in vitro anti-inflammatory activity by Human Red Blood Cell membrane stabilization assay and in vitro antioxidant activity by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay respectively. Two commercially available gels were used as the positive control. Among the formulated herbal emulgels, Fg5 showed the significantly high values of in vitro anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities compared to the tested positive controls. At the concentration of 12.5 mg/mL, Fg5 showed percentage inhibition of 93.73 ± 0.90% of heat induced hemolysis of erythrocytes and in vitro antioxidant activity of Fg5 was 3.39 ± 0.01 mmol Trolox
