This study examines the influence of Television programmes on youth dressing pattern in Taraba State University, Jalingo. The researcher employed Taro Yame’s formula to select 100 students which formed the sample frame. The study made use of focus group and quantitative survey for its methodology. 8 participants formed the focus group while 100 selected students were distributed questionnaires. All the questionnaires distributed were duly filled and retrieved by the researcher. Data gathered for the quantitative survey were coded in SPSS version 22 and presented in tables with frequency counts and simple percentages while the focus group was textually analyzed. The study revealed among other things that entertainment/musical programmes are the most preferred and watched programmes by youths. The study also revealed that youths imitate the hip hop/hippies and makeup/hairstyles shown on television programmes than any other form of dressing and imitating such dressing makes them appear indecent. The study recommends that Universities and other tertiary institutions should take the issue of dress code serious, punishing students who are found wanting. Local Television presenters should dress decently at all times and no matter their kind of programmes they should know that they are role models and whatever they do is easily copied by the young ones.

Supply chain management (SCM) is the essential management philosophy and practice of materials, information, and finances where processes flow from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer. This investigative study focus on a conceptual supply chain management (SCM) model for ready-made garments (RMG) industry of Bangladesh. The final goal of SCM is to convey information one group or individual to another. One group or individual should work together with its downstream customers and upstream suppliers to achieve supply chain goal. Communication helps to express employees to conquer their goals without any misinterpretation or misunderstanding. Current circumstances of SCM practice in garments industries have been revealed after questionnaire survey. In this study an endeavor has been taken to widen a more valuable supply chain for Bangladeshi RMG to assistance from competitive advantage in the global apparel business through analyzing the present supply chain and investigating the corelation among the competitors in the supply chain. In analyzing the data for this study, likert’s scale used for easy construction of table analysis. Finally some recommendations are provided on the basis of findings.

Modern web development is an intensely collaborative process. Frontend Developers, Backend Developers and Quality Assurance Engineers are integral cogs of a development machine. Frontend developers constantly juggle developing new features, fixing bugs and writing good unit test cases. Achieving this is sometimes difficult as frontend developers are not able to utilize their time completely. They have to wait for the backend to be ready and wait for pages to load during iterations. This paper proposes an approach that enables frontend developers to quickly generate a mock backend that behaves exactly like their actual backend. This generated mock backend minimizes the dependency between frontend developers and backend developers, since both the teams can now utilize the entire sprint duration efficiently. The approach also aids the frontend developer to perform quicker iterations and modifications to his or her code.

The objective of this work is to study the effect of the backpack on the components of the spine system of a child, know the effect of an eccentric load on the intervertebral discs, the creating a 3D model of the spine of child of 80 kg overall weight under the effect of three eccentric load (P2, P3, P4) plus P1 compression load and calculated by the element method ends, For the boundary conditions we fixed the sacrum (Embedding the sacrum). We propose in this section to draw up a comprehensive study of the distributions of stresses and normal elastic strain of Von Mises in the intervertebral discs based on loads supported.

Examined in this study was the degree to which differences were present in Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) placements for Grade 7 and 8 boys in Texas as a function of their ethnicity/race and economic status. Texas statewide middle school discipline data were obtained from the Texas Education Agency Public Education Information Management System on all boys in the 2010-2011 school year. Inferential statistical procedures revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in JJAEP placements forboys in both Grades 7 and 8 as a function of their economic status and ethnicity/race. In both Grade 7 and Grade 8, Black boys had statistically significantly higher percentage of JJAEP placements than their White counterparts, 3 to 4 times higher. For Hispanic boys in Grades 7 and 8, they had a JJAEP placement rate that was 2 to 3 times higher than the JJAEP placement rate of White boys.

In this investigation, the degree to which passing rates on the STAAR Reading and Mathematics assessments of Grade 5 and 6 students in poverty in the state of Texas differed as a function of grade span configuration was examined. Data were obtained from the Texas Education Agency for all Grade 5 and 6 students in poverty who were enrolled in single/double grade level (i.e., Grades 4-5, 5 only, or Grades 5-6) or in multi-grade level (i.e., PreK-6) grade span configurations for the 2012-2013 through the 2014-2015 school years. Inferential analyses revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in reading and mathematics passing rates between the two grade span configurations. Grade 5 and Grade 6 students in poverty had statistically significantly higher reading and mathematics passing rates in multi-grade level schools than in single/double grade level schools. Implications for policy and practice are provided.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the different dimensions of employee empowerment and to determine the impact of employee empowerment tools on performance of private sector employees in Punjab. Structured questionnaire is used to collect the required primary data from 80 respondents in private sector in Punjab.

The use of substance could be beneficial or harmful depending on how it is been used. Substance(s) could bring about a change in the biological function of living organism through its chemical composition4. It can also modify perception, cognition, mood, behaviour, and general body function9.
