Consumerist society is the consequence of the philosophical movement that started to form at the end of the Second World War. Dynamic development of technology required by the war needs started to be asserted in peace conditions of management mainly in information technology and computing. The philosophy of management reacted on the changes resulting from the political development and the post-war state of economy. It focused on the quantity law that in time changes to quality. Qualitative management that focused on the benefits of information technology and computing started to develop. It increased the attention to measurable values in economics and limited the observation of immeasurable values of economic phenomena. It was done in good faith that desirable development of immeasurable consequences of economic phenomena will be ensured by legislation. For that reason a slogan “what is not forbidden is allowed” was created and it enabled the “dance” among paragraphs with the help of complicated mathematic methods and computing.
The study was carried out in Darra district of Abera Gelede village in Abera sheep type improvement substation with the aims of investigating the effects of supplementing concentrate and urea molasses feed block /UMB/ on intake and body weight gain of grazing Abera sheep. Thirty two yearling male Abera sheep with mean initial body weight of 21.93 ± 0.23 kg (mean ±SE) were taken from six Abera sheep improvement member co-operatives. The experiment was conducted using a complete randomized block design with four treatment diets and eight replications. The sheep were blocked based on their initial body weight into eight blocks and each of the four treatment diets were randomly assigned to each animal in each block. Dietary treatments comprised of T(1)= grazing control; T(2), wheat bran 66 %: noug seed cake 33 % and 1% salt; T(3),wheat bran 66 %: cotton seed cake 33 % and 1% salt, and (T4), urea molasses feed - block (wheat bran 25%, molasses 36%, cement 10%, noug seed cake 13%, urea 10%, salt 3% and limestone 3%) . A basal diet was natural grass grazing for 7hr. Three hundred gram concentrates mixture supplement and 100 gm UMB was given once a day at 8:00 AM at (0 %) and (25%) refusal for concentrate and UMB correspondingly. A 90-day growth experiments were conducted. There was significant difference (P<0.05) on body weight gain in T1, 19.25± 7.32 g/day, T2,73.75 ± 7.32 g/day and, T3 43.75± 7.32, and T4, 27.63 ± 7.32. The total DM intake and Nutrient Intake was higher in T2 and T3 than UMB intake in T4groups. 269.46 gm/day for T 2 and 288.5gm/ day for T3 and 73.11gm /day for T4 respectively. As disclosed in partial budget analysis the marginal revenue was 1.55, 1.52, 1.40 and 1.44 ETB for all respective treatments. It was concluded that 66% noug seed cake mixed with 33% wheat bran and 1% salt have significant short term weight gain and economically feasible for the areas where community based sheep improvements practicing and small holder farmers.
This study aimed to examine the effect of E-Banking service quality on customer satisfaction in the state owned banks in Ethiopia in Debre Markos town. To achieve the objectives of this study, data were collected through questionnaire from a sample of 190 bank customers. These respondents were selected using simple stratified sampling method from both Woreda and zonal level E-Banking users. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using Statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS version 20. The results of this study indicated that, except assurance the four service quality dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness and empathy) have positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction. The finding of this study also indicates that customers were most satisfied with the responsiveness dimensions of EBanking service quality.
WebGIS is a kind of distributed information system which holds the potential to make geographic information available worldwide. It is cost effective and provides an easy way of disseminating geospatial data. This paper outlines the design and development of a WebGIS based Decision Support System (DSS) for disseminating Nowcasting of Extreme Orographic Rain events generated at regular intervals from (NETRA) model. Dissemination of events include heavy rainfall alerts all over India and cloudburst alerts over Western Himalayan Region every half an hour. In India, natural calamities like flood and cloudburst results in lot of causalities. If any early Heavy rain alerts dissemination system is developed then it will protect several lives and mitigate damage of property or infrastructure in affected areas. The development of such WebGIS based decision support system originates from this concept. Objective of this paper is to describe the near real time WebGIS based Decision support System developed for disseminating rainfall alerts to the general public and administrators about heavy rain (all over India) and cloud burst (over Western Himalayan region) using interactive maps. Users can also get non spatial information like number of affected cities and their names, district level population (census 2011), forecast date and time, Radius of influence etc. This WebGIS based decision support system can help government agencies, NGO’s and general public in planning to save lives, properties and can be used for decision making to reduce economic and material loss from the resulting floods. This paper also illustrates use of open source technologies for developing such WebGIS -DSS at low cost. The principal development component includes: GeoServer, Java, PostgreSQL, OpenLayers, and GeoExt. The framework of the system can be divided into two categories:(1) Dissemination system which includes visualization of centroid and precise locations of Heavy Rain all over India and clo
Today we are facing a great problem with the nature is pollution. The major reason for pollution is the rapid growth of industrialization and the increase of vehicles. The Carbon let out from the industries and the petrol and diesel cars which cause damages in the ozone layer. It will affect the human society in a vast level. First step or Need of an hour is creating mass awareness of this prime CO 2 problem to 7.35 billion population of world. It is necessary to take Corporate social responsibility to reduce the Carbon level emission from their industries and to find out an alternate way for preventing the pollutions. To avoid this and build a better world of healthy and pollution free is via Green marketing, its scientifically implemented by change the trend in the automobile industry by E-cars (i.e., Electric cars).
The chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (DOX) is well known to induce cardiac and skeletal muscle dysfunction. Previous studies demonstrate that exercise can mitigate dysfunction, reduce myocardial DOX accumulation, and depress markers of oxidative stress, but a putative mechanism is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether multidrug resistance protein (MRP) expression contributes to the protective effects of exercise against DOX-induced muscular dysfunction. Lower left ventricle (LV) and soleus DOX concentrations were observed in exercised animals, and MRP- 1, MRP-2, and MRP-7 expression was significantly increased in the LV with exercise. No MRP variations were apparent in skeletal muscles following the exercise protocol. As a marker of oxidative stress, malondialdehyde+4 hydroxyalkenal levels were analyzed, and exercise reduced both cardiac and skeletal muscle levels from exercised trained animals treated with DOX had significantly lower levels than SED-DOX. This study suggests increased MRP expression with exercise may contribute to exercise-induced protection in cardiac muscle but not skeletal muscle.
Analyzed in this study was the extent to which differences were present in the reading skills of Texas high school students as a function of ethnicity/race (i.e., Asian, White, Hispanic, and Black). Archival data were obtained from the Public Education Information Management System on all Texas high school students for the 2004-2005 through the 2011-2012 school years. Statistically significant differences were present in reading skills by student ethnicity/race in all 8 school years. For all analyses, average reading scores were lower for Black students than for Asian, White, and Hispanic students. Similarly, average reading scores were lower for Hispanic students than for Asian and White students. Results were mixed for White and Asian students. Implications for policy and for practice are discussed, along with suggestions for future research. Suggestions for future research and implications for policy and practice were made.
In this study, differences in academic performance on the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System and State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness as a function of participation in extracurricular activities for English Language Learners were examined. Data obtained from a large, suburban district in southeast Texas for all students who were enrolled in Grades 6 through 12 for the 2014-2015 school year were analyzed. Patterned after the federal Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives for English Language Learners, participation in extracurricular activities for English Language Learners was not related to second language acquisition or the attainment of English fluency. Conversely, in regard to performance on state assessments in reading and in mathematics, English Language Learners who were not involved in extracurricular activities had higher scores than English Language Learners who were involved in extracurricular activities. Suggestions for research and policy were provided.
The purpose of the study was to examine the educational attainment rates of Hispanic and Black students in Texas 2-year colleges from the 2009 through the 2014academic years. The number of career colleges in Texas increased from 52 in the 2009 academic year to a total of 80 career colleges in the 2014 academic year. Along with increases in the number of career colleges, the total numbers of Hispanic and Black students who attained a certificate or adegree during this time period also increased. The average number of Hispanic and Black students who obtained a degree or certificate from Texas 2- year career colleges rose steadily until reaching a high of 155.32 degrees and/orcertificates attained for Hispanic students in the 2011 academic year and a high of 64.19 degrees and/or certificatesattained for Black students in the 2012 academic year. Overtwice as manyHispanic students than Black students obtained a degree or certificate from Texas career colleges in the 6-year period analyzed in this investigation. Over the 6-year period of the 2009 through the 2014 academic years, the average percentage of Hispanic and Black students who obtained a degree or certificate from Texas 2-year career colleges fluctuated. Implications of these results, as well asrecommendations for future research, were discussed.
Differences in reading, mathematics, and science achievement of Grade 8 students as a function of mobility were examined with and without controls for economic status in this investigation. Data were obtained from the Texas Education Agency Public Education Information Management System for the 2003-2004 through the 2007-2008 school years. Statistically significant differences were revealed in reading, mathematics, and science test scores as a function of student mobility, both when controlling for and not controlling for economic status. Mobile students had statistically significantly lower reading and mathematics test scores than did non-mobile students for all 6 school years. Science scores were statistically significantly lower for all three years for which data were available. Implications for policy and practice and suggestions for future research were made.
