Hand in hand with prosper of International business brought by globalization, many ethical problems have been surfacing in the past decades: bribery, corruption, human rights issues, etc. Business ethics, as an academic discipline as well as a business practice, is becoming the focal point of waged and animated debate. The increasing attention on it generates many relative theories, among which Freeman’s stakeholder theory stands out. This paper, backed by Freeman’s stakeholder theory, conducts a case study of Simens’ violation of business ethics by analyzing its recent bribery scandal in Argentina. After a detailed analysis of the interests of Siemens’ stakeholders, it draws a conclusion of Siemens’ severe violation of business ethics, and thus suggests some solutions.

Wood has long been used by the plastics industry as in expensive filler to increase strength and stiffness of the thermo plastic or to reduce raw materials cost. Wood Polymer composites consist primarily of wood and thermoplastic polymers. The commercial successes of these materials have been primarily by the promise of improved moisture performance, recycled and waste material utilization and efficiency in product and process design. Wood polyacrylonitrile composite (WPC) from neem, mango and cork wood was synthesized. The process was carried out through benzoyl peroxide(0.05mol/l)catalyzed impregnation polymerization of acrylonitrile,4mol/l,6mol/l into neem wood cork wood and mango wood in benzene medium at 75+-10c. The properties of WPCs over untreated woods were evaluated in terms of wear resistance test of wood was improved with impregnation of polyacrylonitrile .Impregnation of polyacyrlonitrile (PAN) into neem, mango and cork woods were was confirmed through scanning electron microscope.

Thermal conductivity is an important engineering parameter in the design of food processing equipment. It predicts or controls the heat flux in food during processing such as cooking, frying, freezing, sterilization, drying or pasteurization. The thermal conductivity of ground cocoa beans and ground sheanut kernels with varying moisture content, bulk density and temperature was studied using the transient heat transfer method. The thermal conductivity increased linearly for ground cocoa beans sample from 0.0243 to 0.0311 W/oCm and for ground sheanut kernels from 0.0165 to 0.0458 W/oCm in the moisture content range of 12.59 to 43.84 % w.b. at a constant bulk density of 295 kg/m3. For bulk density range of 322 to 410 kg/m3, thermal conductivity of ground cocoa beans and ground sheanut kernel increased linearly from 0.0265 to 0.0324 W/oCm and 0.0209 to 0.0252 W/oCm respectively when moisture content was at 16 % w.b Thermal conductivity of ground sheanut kernel and ground cocoa beans increased significantly (p<0.05) from 0.0233 to 0.0382 W/oCm and 0.0261 to 0.0397 W/oCm respectively as temperature increased from 35 to 55 oC. Effect of moisture, bulk density and temperature on thermal conductivity of sheanut kernel and cocoa bean were found to be significant (p>0.05).

The electronic properties of double-wall zinc oxide nanotubes (DWZnONTs) are investigated via density functional theory. The DWZnONTs are separated into two categories¸ where the inner and outer nanotubes are armchair-armchairand zigzag-zigzag single-wall nanotubes. The band structure of the DWZnONTs is calculated. Our results show that the interwall coupling diminishes the energy gap in semiconducting nanotube. We found that the energy gap of DWZnONTs depends on the structure of the inner and outer walls.

Internal Revolutions Phenomenon on the Arab Political Regimes is considered a compound phenomenon; that was aroused from a combined number of elements and their combination in a way that we can not assume that the cause of this phenomenon returns to one reason or an element without the other reasons or elements. We can not understand this phenomenon unless within the factors network and reasons that led to its appearance. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, a random sample of (280) individuals was selected, who represent different segments from the intellectuals and politicians, those who are active in economic, media, religious and social, in addition to the other interested people in the issue of internal revolutions from various Arab nationalities. Where as a questionnaire which consisted of (55) questions has been distributed on five main themes equally, it was discovered that the underlying political, economic, media, religious and social reasons were the most important reasons that led to the internal revolutions, where all the reasons got a positive arithmetic means. It turns out that the economic factor was one of the strongest reasons that led to the emergence of revolutions in the Arab Countries. The study also revealed that there are differences due to the impact of gender in the study sample individuals. In addition, no differences were found due to the impact of marital status on the opinions of the study sample individuals. As for the correlation among all the reasons leading to the internal revolutions, it has been shown that there is no correlation between the political reasons and religious reasons of the internal revolutions.

In this work we propose a new approach for investigating the local and global existence of classical solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations This approach gives new results.

The paper examined the act of outright farmland sale in the Ikwerre rural communities to non-agricultural purposes and the increasing decline in agricultural food production. The paper argued that the process of farmland sale to non agricultural purposes will further impoverish the people and hamper development. We deplored the interview and observation methods of eliciting data. The use of Ikwerre dialect became an effective communication tool in gathering data; as the rural peasant people are predominantly illiterates. The theoretical framework is the Political Economy Approach which served as a study and method. The findings are that the increase in sale of farm land to non agricultural activities had destroyed the livelihood of the rural economy and hampered development. Also, that the decision of communities to share farmland for sale to avert the forceful taken their lands with little or no benefits by the government had created paucity of land, scarcity of food, communal conflict, enmity and death mortality rate.

This paper examined teachers’ responsibilities inloco- parentis in secondary schools in Abraka metropolis, Delta State, Nigeria. It high lightened some applied precedent cases of in-loco-parentis doctrine in secondary schools using variables such as experience, location of school and size of school in the area of study. Three research questions and three hypotheses were formulated and tested with t-test statistic. The population of teachers used was 124 out of which 24 were sampled using stratified random sampling technique. An instrument was constructed for data collection and the result showed that experienced teachers who have courses in school law improved their knowledge of the legal aspect of school operation in in-loco-parentis doctrine. Disciplinary measures were effective in the rural schools because there was room for personal interaction. The teacher’s duty of governance, discipline, care and safety were now taken more seriously. Based on the conclusions, it was recommended that in service training should be organized forless experienced teachers to enable them know their rights and those of students to avoid infringement and to play their role as parents in the school system.

This paper dealt with principals’ attitude towards corporal punishment in Delta State secondary schools. It discussed an overview of corporal punishment in schools, justification and criticism of school corporal punishment, guidelines in imposing corporal punishment in schools, effects of corporal punishment on students, and reason why school corporal punishment should be banned. It is therefore recommended that government should introduce and pass legislations prohibiting the use of corporal punishment in public schools, and that teachers and school administrators should be provided with tools and resources necessary to develop safe and effective methods for encouraging positive student’s behavior. It also recommended that that the use of corporal punishment be discouraged in the school system and there is need for principals to employ better disciplinary techniques that would yield better results.
