Western and Ayurvedic Systems of Medicine in Sri Lanka: Some Preliminary Observations Hettige, S.T. Introduction of Western medicine to Sri Lanka resulted in the marginalization of Ayurveda which was the mainstay of traditional empirical medicine among the Sinhalese. In spite of the emergence of a vibrant Sinhalese-Buddhist nationalist movement in the late 19th century in opposition to the erosion of traditional values and institutions such as Buddhism and Ayurvedic medicine, the dominance of the Westernized, propertied and professional elite could not 'be checked. Introduction of democratic institutions and subsequent political independence, however allowed marginalized native groups such as Ayurvedic physicians to come forward and win certain privileges which were hitherto denied to them. Even though the events have not reversed the ,historical trend, they have nevertheless been significant ,developments with implications for rhe present and future position of Ayurveda within the healthcare system of Sri Lanka.

The Philosophy of Buddhist Law -as Seen by Criminologist's Point of View Ratnapala, Nandasena It can be argued that the Buddhist Laws are based on the five principles or Panca Sila as theu are commonly known. The laws whether intended for the monks or laymen had the Panca Sila as its foundation which in its supreme from encompassed the Eightfold Path leading to the final Buddjist Objective of reaching the Nirvana. The Authority for the Buddhist Laws emanated from four Great Sources. The Acid Test for the validity of any law is to compare it with the Buddha's Discourses in short-the Sutta and the Vinaya. If it agrees with the words of the Buddha as found in the Sutta and the Vinaya the validity of the Law is established. In addition to the material or this worldly dimension the Buddhist Laws had the non-material or spiritual demention too.The Buddhist Law also need to be viewed as both an individual and collective legal system. Sociologically this is interesting because the law violated collectively could affect those who violated it in a collective manner. In the same sense collective purity and rituals associated with such purity are emphasised. Punishment as understood by Buddhist Law is devoid of meaning unless it containscompassion for the "punished" which the person under "punishment" which the person under "punishment" should understand and assimilate the education into his pattern of life in order to make the entire process meaningful to him.

Productive Effect of Consumption-Revaluing the Social Cost of Employing Unskilled Labour in Developing Countries Wickramasinghe, J.W. Little & Mirrlees , following the traditional investment theory, have attributed a social cost component to the additional consumption of the unskilled labour in the advanced industry in developing countries. However, recent research has shown that increased consumption of such;labour is part of human capital formation, as it (additional consumption)increases labour productivity, value of which is greater than that of the resournes used for the extra consumption. As the extra consumption of the unskilled labour in the advanced industry. increases 'uncommited government income' rather than reduces it, Appreciate shadow wage rate of unskilled labour in advanced industry has to be zero.
