At a time when Web 2.0 applications in libraries have gained growing popularity globally, it appears that the library must consider marketing its services more regularly through the Internet, taking advantage of Web 2.0 applications to improve access to its users and to promote information services. Many studies have discussed the importance of enhancing library services through Web 2.0 applications such as blogs, wikis, RSS (Really Simple Syndication), podcasts and social networking sites (SNSs). However, very few studies have focused on social networking sites in relation to marketing strategies for library and information services. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the varied marketing activities of libraries on SNSs, focusing on Facebook, as it is recognized as a popular SNS used among libraries. Additionally, the study introduces the role of library and information professionals (LIPs) within SNSs, as well as user contributions to the marketing process. Web content is used in a quantitative approach. Twenty public libraries that have Facebook pages have been selected as subject samples.

This study examined the correlation and covariance between education mismatch and skills mismatch in the Tanzanian Formal sector taking Dar es Salaam and Dodoma regions as case studies. The study employed cross sectional and Worker Self Assessment (WSA) techniques with 319 workers from public and private sectors selected by multistage cluster sampling. Office interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data using structured questionnaire. The SPSS-16 statistical package was used for data analysis. Using Chi square at 5% level of significance, the results reported an existence of relationship between education mismatch and skills mismatch (χ2=39.57; p=0.00). Using bivariate corre- lation, results portrayed a weak positive correlation between education mismatch and skills mismatch (Corem,sm=0.241). Also, using bivariate covariance, the results showed a positive co-vary behavior between education mismatch and skills mismatch (Covem,sm = 0.112). This study therefore concludes that education mismatch and skills mismatch are not perfect substitute. It is thus recommended that the government should not take the existence of National Employment Policy of 2008 and its labour regulatory frameworks as a guarantee of success. Thus, deliberate efforts should be adopted to force both private and public employers to use the same standards, measures and regulations in recruitment to minimize incidence of mismatch. Also, the government and other labour market actors should avoid using education mismatch as a proxy for skills mismatch, since the two have no a one to one relation.

The influence of inorganic and organic fertigations present study. Effect of different concentrations of chemical cyanospray on seed germination at room temperature were analyzed for protein, amino acid and amylase enzyme in both untreated and treated ways respectively. Our findingsduring seed germination on A. tristis was evaluated in the indicated that during germination the amount of amylase and(CaCl2) and different organic fertilizers such as Bijamrita and amino acid increased at 48th hrs in combination with 25% Bijamrita and 0.3% cyanospray (50:50) when compared with other treatments, but, the protein content was significantly reduced during germination when compared with nongerminated seeds. Possible optimum concentration was determined to induce seed germination and thereafter growth of seedlings.

Purpose: The paper aims at finding out the movement of certain macro-economic variables in India. The variables are FDI inflow, GDP, Market rate and CPI Inflation rate. Design/Methodology: To study the linear relationship, the paper uses simple correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination. Along with it, for further prediction regression analysis is used. For an overview, measures of central tendency, standard deviation and graphical representations are used. Significance level between the variables is tested using t-test. Findings: The variables are linearly related to one another. In other words, the variables are highly correlated and there is significant correlation coefficient among them. Practical Implication: The findings may be used as an input for Economic and Budgetary decision making. Research Limitation: Limited variables are used for the study. External noise may present because of exclusion of other variables.

In his theory about capital types, Bourdieu divided capital into cultural capital, economic capital, and social capital. One of the forms of cultural capital is the embodied state that manifests itself as internalized cultural skills, abilities and aptitudes, and is strongly connected to an individual person’s habitus. The purpose of this article is to study experiences of physical exercise. Can these experiences be regarded as capital? The article aims at introducing a theoretical framework for experiences of physical exercise that we call the experience-based capital of physical exercise (ECPE). This capital type is considered a part of cultural capital. The idea is that if physical exercise is considered capital, the world of the experiences of physical exercise can be analyzed in a varied manner. The concept of ECPE gives an opportunity to do and provide physical exercise as diversely as possible by having exercise experiences as the starting point. Therefore, the concept can be used for health-promotion purposes.

This paper employs cross country regression analysis on a large set of countries to look at a few potential determinants of differences in charitable giving across countries. In addition to present income, it finds that the perceived degree of control over future economic conditions matters for charitable giving. Religiosity and perceptions of corruption also appear to be relevant for charitable donations, with religiously exerting a positive effect and corruption perceptions a negative effect on charity.

Peat deposits are the partly decomposed and fragmented remain of plants that have accumulated under water (excessively moistened) and fossilized, and consist of more than 50% organic substances. This type of subsoil foundation has high compressibility and low shear strength when subjected to imposed loads from civil engineering projects. It is essential to distinguish this problematic soil from better quality soils. Visual inspections including colour (dark brown to black) and odour (organic odor) tests can help to recognize peat. Field strength evaluation tests such as FVST and PLT can give good estimates of peat shear strength. Also laboratory tests such as moisture content, organic content and UCS and CBR may be used to evaluate peat physical and mechanical properties as well.

Objective : This study is an overview of the most current state of the US prison system relative to incarcerated women, focusing specifically on the risks of HIV and opportunistic diseases that affect women’s health and lacking concerted interest in understanding and addressing women’s specific needs by policy-makers and managers of our prison facilities. Methodology : Conducted by an interdisciplinary team of socio-behavioral scientists in epidemiology, social work, policy, and education, the study relies on the most updated research data provided by federal and state government agencies, hospital registries, biomedical, public health, and socio-behavioral databases, relevant and peer-reviewed research studies published in journals and other accepted information sources, using a comparative national and global approach to the subject of female prisoners and the impact of infectious diseases.

The use of waste materials from various processes as pavement layers has long been an option for disposing of such materials. Huge volumes of material are typically required to construct pavement layers and this option provides the opportunity for disposing of large volumes of materials without requiring landfill areas. Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide (EMD) is produced in South Africa from manganese ore through the process of electrolysis. Belt filter residue from the EMD production residue is thixotropic, and is dried by adding lime. The dried product is known as Inerted Manganese Product (IMP). IMP has been used successfully in pavement layers in South Africa. Uncertainty regarding the optimal Construction Moisture Content (CMC) led to research where five sections with IMP base layers were constructed at different CMCs, followed by monitoring of both short-term and long-term stiffness development in the layer. Data analysis consisted of evaluation of changes in base layer stiffness, focusing on the effect of the differing CMC contents. The paper covers the experimental design, data collected and analyses, leading to conclusions regarding the optimal CMC required to obtain optimal short-term stiffness in the IMP-constructed base layer.

Coal is a vital source of energy in India. Major portion of energy requirement in India fulfill by coal based thermal power plant. Price of electricity indirectly depends on raw material (coal). In India coal trading generally done on over the counter basis, in which price of coal is depend on settlement price of coal as per the quality of coal. Coal price is generally calculated on certain parameter moisture content, calorific value, ash content, sulfur content. India supplier settles coal prices on some formula to adjust coal price. The object of this paper is to highlight the price adjustment formula which buyer and seller used to calculate price settlement for their contract agreement. Price of coal is generally decided by their calorific value, moisture content, ash content and sulphur content in coal. So for the adjustment in price Coal supplier and buyer use some formula as per quality to adjust quantity. The aim of this paper is to amend existed formula, and to give innovative approach to implement a price adjustment formula of coal as per the quality bases.
