Ecological industry is to realize the harmonious development between economy and environment by planning industrial systems according to material cycle in the natural ecological system. Industrial ecology competitiveness refers to the entire industry’s emphasis on the ecological environment and interaction and the idea of harmony and co-evolution in all aspects of industrial production and management With analogy analysis between natural and industrial ecosystems, the paper proposes some common comparability in structure, function and characters, and then this paper discusses some concepts and definitions related to the industrial ecology competitiveness, such as environment adaptation, industrial harmonious mutualism and resource productivity. The conclusion points out that industrial ecology system is the most effective sustainable and circular economy developing pattern.

Teaching profession has been hit by a wave of a high teacher turnover resulting in shortage of teachers and high workload due to high pupil enrolment as a result to the introduction of Free Primary Education in Kenya. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of teacher-related factors on job satisfaction among primary school teachers in Nandi County, Kenya. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of teacher-related factors on job satisfaction among primary school teachers in Kenya. This study adopted an explanatory survey design based on the qualitative method. The study targeted all primary school teachers in Nandi North Sub-County, Nandi County, Kenya. The researcher used stratified and simple random sampling to select respondents (n = 321). The main data collection instrument was the focus group discussion for the teachers. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and reported in narrations and quotations. Most of the respondents in the discussion group said that they enjoyed teaching as a profession because they felt good when they model young children. The teachers attributed low job satisfaction to lack of career growth. It was noted that teachers stagnated in one job group for longer than anticipated. The teachers also reported that they were overworked due to teacher shortage in their schools. For educators, this study underlines the importance of individual motivation as a source of individual job satisfaction.

In this current time of globalization and privatization, manufacturing firms are greatly relying upon the concept of failure mode effective analysis to fight with challenges of current market trends. This paper help to perceive and overcome the irregularities in plastic product by apply application of “FMEA”. It is focused on preventing problems, enhancing safety, and rising customer satisfaction. Due to implementation of FMEA can get larger benefits, such as improving product quality, reliability, and security, enhancing company's image and competitiveness, satisfying customer requirements, etc.

The aim of this study is to optimize or exploit the use of land in around the city of Jakarta (Jabodetabek) area with eight principles of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) namely walkable, cycle, connect, transit or public transport, shift & transit, mixed use development, and compact. This research is a literature study with more in-depth interviews, and a triangulation process. In-depth interviews are carried out with some resource persons from the transportation regulator. The result shows the very high need for TOD area around the new and existing transit stations which are served by a regular and efficient transit system.

A Total Dominating Color Transversal Set of a Graph G is a Total Dominating Set which is also Transversal of Some ? - Partition of vertices of G. Here ? is the Chromatic number of the graph G. Total Dominating Color Transversal number of a graph is the cardinality of a Total Dominating Color Transversal Set which has minimum cardinality among all such sets that the graph admits. In this paper we find this number for Generalized Wheel Graph, Petersen Graph, Herschel Graph, Grotszch graph and Helm Graph.

Newly developed vermicomposting model is eco-friendly, has low cost, minimum space requirement, protection from predators, minimum water requirement, self roof, easy management. This model tries to keeps constant temperature and humidity. Due to these favorable conditions earthworms feed voraciously, shows fast growth, increases rate of reproduction and vermicompost formation within short period (45-days), which is qualitative and quantitative. Vermicompost increases soil fertility, water holding capacity, healthy growth in plants and regulates the soil pH neutral. Newly developed vermiwash model medium cost, space requirement 2’X2’, mobile model. The vermiwash from this model is qualitative and quantitative. Analyzed contains total 48- components. Includes 10- Micronutrients, 5- Hormones, 5- Enzymes, 7-microbes and 21- other Physico-chemical components. Vermiwash acts plant tonic, good organic foliar spray increases vegetative and reproductive growth in plants. On flowering plants: flower size, number increases, better color and also acts as post harvesting tonic. Vermiwash in nursery for vegetative growth in cutting, grafting and layering.

It's normal. Human beings are social and interact with others. In addition, clothes have a lot of impact on the person who wears them and they can reveal a lot of things through the way they dress. But we may think less often of the good Lord, of the fact that our soul does not go without our soul. We also sometimes forget that our little comforts or our personal desires should not come before charity towards others or even the respect we owe ourselves, as creatures of God. Unfortunately, today's society emphasizes the false, ugly and indecent more than the true, the beautiful and the good, and this is what makes it difficult for many women to dress in a fashionable way. Really feminine and modest. Because the youth of tomorrow needs a model, a model to follow and imitate for the future and good functioning of our society.

In this paper, we have presented a wide range phase locked loop (PLL) based frequency synthesizer using a voltage tuning variable length ring oscillator (RO). The frequency of the used ring oscillator can be changed dynamically from one frequency to another frequency by changing the length of the oscillator electronically. An analog frequency tuning mechanism is also introduced here to make it suitable for applications in PLL based systems. The proposed PLL based frequency synthesizer can successfully synthesize different harmonics (Nf_r ) of the reference signal (f_r ) within the lock range of the oscillator. The experimental results from a prototype hardware electronic circuit are presented here to support the validity of the proposed architecture of the RO and the frequency synthesizer.

Indian women have to go a long way to achieve equal rights and position because traditions are deep rooted in Indian society where the sociological set up has been a male dominated one. Despite all the social hurdles, Indian women stand tall from the rest of the crowd ands are applauded for their achievements in their respective field. The transformation of social fabric of the Indian society, in terms of increased educational status of women and varied aspirations for better living, necessitated a change in the life style of Indian women. She has competed with man and successfully stood up with him in every walk of life and business is no exception for this. These women leaders are assertive, persuasive and willing to take risks, they managed to survive and succeed in this cut throat competition with their hard work, diligence and perseverance. Increasing numbers of women are becoming leaders of their own businesses, and many are struggling to achieve success. The present paper endeavors to study the concept of women entrepreneurs –reasons women become entrepreneurs –Reasons for slow progress of women entrepreneurs in India-suggestions for the growth of women entrepreneurs-schemes for promotion &development of women entrepreneurship in India.

The objective of this study is to observe facilitation styles during the process of collaborative writing among students in a private university-college in Malaysia. Participants in this study comprised fourteen Year Two Bachelor of Social Science students. They formed two case study groups in performing their writing tasks. Data was obtained from various instruments such as video recordings, interviews, diary entries and observations. The findings showed two totally different approaches used in leading collaborators. Both approaches, in hand, successfully promoted teamwork. In addition, significant outcomes from collaboration were observed. It can be concluded that positive output from collaboration is very much dependent on the high commitment level of collaborators.
