In today’s competitive world, the only thing that is constant is change. As a result, creative capacity is the key. Creativity has become a topic of ever-increasing interest in educational settings. Like it or not, teachers serve as the metronome in the classroom. The meter and behavior established by them set the patterns and establish the models for students’ behavior as individuals and as a group. Thus, there is a need to identify the role of teacher leadership behaviors for students’ creativity. The purpose of this article is to propose possible approaches to facilitate creativity in the classroom, especially with the emphasis on leadership perspective. First, the definition of creativity is discussed. Then based on the literature, several strategies and ideas of promoting creativity are reviewed. Next, a possible model is proposed, including knowledge, creative thinking, motivation and self-efficacy, goal setting and work group, transformational leadership, and supportive leadership. Finally, the implication of this model is described.

This study was designed to investigate the quality of Victoria 1500 and 2000 capsules a herbal medication that contain ginseng (major components Rg1&Rb1), royal jelly (marker component is 10-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid (10-HDA)) and yohimbine. The study include determination of major components content, long term stability, determination of elements , studying the microbiological contamination, detection of pesticides residues and mycotoxins. The drugs were stored under different simulated climatic conditions. The reaction rate constant (K), the half-life (t1/2) and the activation energies were calculated for ginsenosides Rg1 &Rb1. The activation energies were found to be 10.99 and 10.2( k.cal.mol-1 ) for Rg1 &Rb1respectively. The % content of Rg1, Rb1 and 10-HDA of Victoria1500 &2000 capsules after six months storage were found at the lower specifications limit (80-120% of stated amount). For yohimbine were found within allowable limit(90-110%). Studies on the elemental composition confirmed absence of toxic heavy metals. The capsules were found to be free from Microbiological contamination and any pesticide residues. The mycotoxins content were found to be within the allowable limits(800-4300ng/kg). Victoria 1500&2000 capsules were found to comply with the given specifications up to six months storage, thereafter, the samples showed physical &chemical instability with a decrease in Rg1,Rb1 and 10-HDA contents but without effect on yohimbine content.

The primary task of the studies based on survey is the questionnaire development process. The design of a questionnaire involves a systematic procedure. This paper addresses the procedure adopted to design the questionnaire and to evolve policy guidelines for setting up of Environmental Regulation Management System (ERMS) in Indian Manufacturing Industries. During the process development, each and every phase of the questionnaire design is carefully framed based on the guidelines, experiences shared by the domain knowledge people and literature survey. The pre-tests, which are critical for the acceptance of any new questionnaire, are Understandability test and Reliability test. The questionnaire is validated with the above pretests using samples collected from different category of industries.

The study investigated the relationship between personal attitude and academic performance of self-sponsored education students at Africa International University. The study focused on the personal attitude of self-sponsored education student towards the learning environment, the commitment of teachers to teaching, university social life and the joy that a student derives from the learning experience. Descriptive research design was employed for the study. The population of the study comprised of 28 undergraduate education students who were subjected to census sampling because their number was manageable. Data collection was done using a close-ended questionnaire while data analysis was done using descriptive statistics such as a table and percentage rating. The findings show that students’ attitude towards the learning environment, the commitment of teachers to teaching, university social life, and personal interest in learning experience significantly relate to academic performance.

Aqueous media containing heavy metals from industries are directly or indirectly discharged into the environment to cause pollution and threat to human life. The bio-polymer chitin was synthesised using local snail shell to study the adsorption of lead, zinc and nickel from aqueous solution. The synthesis of chitin involves the following stages: (i) pre-concentration, (ii) demineralization, (iii) deprotonization and (iv) deacetylation. Chitin is characterized using analytical technique such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to confirm the presence of chitin. This study shows the effect of pH, time, and adsorbent dosage removal efficiency of the metals in solution. The concentrations of Pb2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ absorbed under different conditions was evaluated using atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS). The result shows that the optimum pH adsorption for Pb2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ using chitin was found to be at pH 2 for the all metals (Pb2+, Ni2+ and Zn2+) with percentage removal efficiency (92.5%, 82.4%, 80%). The synthesized chitin has a potential of an adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals in aqueous solution.

It is a reality that teachers need motivation to perform, which would only be possible through retaining them. This study is conducted to understand the major factors which affect the retention of teachers in management institutions in Bengaluru and ways to convert that into Professional, Academic and Co-curricular performance. The data was collected from 261 teachers coming under Bangalore University through a structured questionnaire. Initially ten factors of retention were considered and deduced to three factors using factor analysis. It was found that Effective Leadership, Empowerment and Work Environment are the major factors of retention. Effective leadership was also found to impact Professional, Academic and Co-curricular Performance of teachers.

Floristic studies are fundamental for the applied sciences such as rangeland management and conservation. Unique ecological and climatic conditions in the Tang Putak in Dena Protected Area make it a remarkable habitat for the floristic studies. The purpose of this study was to determine floristic composition and their chorology carrying a central importance in vegetation description and analysis. Therefore, 50 quadrats (100 m2) were located according to the nature of vegetation. The species and their abundance-dominance were recorded. 73 plant species, belonging to 24 families, were identified. Plant classification, based on Raunkiaer’s life forms revealed Hemicryptophytes as the most abundant (55% of total) species. Therophytes, Phanerophytes and Chamaephytes contained 21, 12 and 5 percents of total plant species, respectively. Chorological characteristics of the plant species showed, about 68% of the total plant species in Tang Putak area were belonged to the Irano-Turanian Chorotype.

This study examines the rhetorical survey structure analysis of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. In this study, definition and historical survey are specified. This study also aims to highlights the consolidation of the gains of the revolution together with the reverses suffered in the execution of the various programmes initiated by the ruling oligarchy.

The use of and search for drugs and dietary supplements derived from plants have accelerated in recent years. Ethno-pharmacologists, botanists, microbiologists, and natural-products chemists’ arecombing the Earth for phytochemicals and "leads" which could bedeveloped for treatment of infectious diseases. Many pathogenic microbes have capability to develop resistance against synthetic formulation. Synthetic formulation is very toxic and destroys the soil fertility and ecological balance. Plant based formulation are least toxic and better for environment balance so it can be replace by synthetic formulation. Antimicrobial activity of plants is mainly due to the presence of secondary metabolites. Plants are rich in wide varietyof secondary metabolites such as tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which have been found in vitro to have antimicrobialproperties. This review attempts to summarize the current statusof botanical screening efforts, as well as in vivo studies of their effectiveness and toxicity. The structure and antimicrobial properties of phytochemicals are also addressed.
