The present study was designed to investigate the school teachers’ awareness towards Individual differences at primary level, study also intends to compare the awareness of individual differences among government and private teachers at primary level. Due to limited time available for study, only 24 primary schools were randomly selected for the purpose of collecting data. 120 teachers from these schools were randomly selected a sample for study. A questionnaire was constructed for teachers which included 30 items, data was collected through personal visits of the schools. Data was analyzed in the light of objectives through two-way chi-square. Private school teachers are aware of the concept of individual differences as compared to government school teachers. In private sector school teachers respect individual differences in their classes as compared to government sector school teachers.

A novel and selective method for the fast determination of trace amounts of Co(II) ions in water samples has been developed. The procedure is based on the selective formation of Co(II) ions using mesoporous organo-silicas mesoporous silica at different pH followed by elution with organic eluents and determination by atomic absorption spectrometry The preconcentration factor was 100 (1 ml elution volume) for a 100 ml sample volume. The limit of detection of the proposed method is 1.0 ng ml?1. The maximum sorption capacity of sorbent under optimum conditions has been found to be 5mg of Co per gram of sorbent. The relative standard deviation under optimum conditions was 3.0% (n = 10). Accuracy and application of the method was estimated by using test samples of natural and synthetic water spiked with different amounts of Co(II) ion.

Leaders are backbone in an organization. They are the one that determine the direction of an organization whether to be further victorious or not. Leaders have an undeviating and massive impact on the followers as well. Past research indicated that when followers are selecting their leaders it is based on many indistinct characteristics. Thus this study is to identify the characteristics that develop into the factors to select a good leader among students. Findings from this present study indicated that from the five dimension of independent variables (responsibility, education, personality, skill and gender), three (education, personality and skill) were directly associated with selecting a good leader among the students. Among the three, education had the biggest impact on selection of a good leader among students. Education being the most imperative factor because a leader with first-class education will gain reverence without much difficulty, be trusted and their words are considered to be more significant and grant greater impact on the followers. It is highly hoped that information gleaned from this present study will shape and produce leaders with first-class qualities for the world of tomorrow.

Consumer behavior analysis is based on consumer’s buying behavior. It aims at improving business performance through an understanding of the customer’s preferences and desires. In today’s world of growing competition where there are numerous brands selling the same products, consumers have an abundant number of choices and many diverse factors influence their buying behavior. The purpose of present paper is to compare and analyze the behavior of Dairy products consumers in Kermanshah and Kurdistan which addresses to the relationship between the aspects of consumers' behavior, demographical variables and their importance in each studied city. 92 individuals in Kermanshah and 102 individuals in Kurdistan were randomly sampled and accepted to answer. By measuring each index by determining variables which could measure them, we studied and compared both communities by using Kolmogorov – Smironov as well as Cramers V and Freedman tests. Research findings show that mental and personal factors in Kurdistan have more impacts on the behavior of processed meats than Kermanshah so that there is a significant difference between such factors in studied cities. In the meantime, it became clear that the importance degree of each behavioral aspect of consumers in Kurdistan and Kermanshah is somehow in harmony: 1. Personal factors, 2. Mental and hidden stimulant factors, 3. Social factors.

The corporate sector is vital mainstay that contributes towards the economic development of the country. This study examines the relationship of training opportunities, career opportunities, and work Motivation and satisfaction on employee commitment. The result of conceptual study shows that career training opportunities, career opportunities, and work Motivation and satisfaction have a positive relation with the commitment of employees in corporate sector of Pakistan. Organizations that provide career and learning opportunities have a committed workforce that has ultimately boosted the performance and productivity of the organization. Other factor of job related variables such as work motivation and job satisfaction has also a significant positive link with employee commitment. Conclusion, future research direction and recommendation are discussed in the end of paper which will help future researchers to better understand the phenomenon.

This study examined the effect of bank credit to the private sector on economic growth in Nigeria using data on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and bank credit to private sector (BCPS). Inflation and interest rates were included in the study as control variables. All data were obtained from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and span across 1981 to 2010. Data stationarity were ensured using the Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) statistic, while the OLS were applied to ascertain the impact of bank credit to the private sector on economic growth. Results of the analysis showed that bank credit to private sectors has a statistical strong positive relationship with GDP and that as expected, bank credit to the private sector has statistically significant effect on economic growth. The paper recommends that the CBN should lower its minimum rediscount rate to a moderate level that will enable banks fix low interest rates on their loanable funds while adopting direct credit control to favour preferred sectors like Agriculture and manufacturing. Finally, monetary authorities should through monetary policy reduce legal reserves requirement for banks to enable the banking sector to create more credit for the economy. This will enhance investment, job and employment opportunities which on the other hand will boast economic growth in the country.

As Simpson (1993) writes, ideology has been defined as the tacit assumptions, beliefs, and value systems which are shared collectively by social groups. These indications show the influence of translator’s mental frameworks through which he / she translates and interprets the texts. This study investigated ideological aspects of literary translation by specifically focusing on the analysis of the textual features of a literary source text, namely, Morier’s Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan, a novel originally published in English in 1823, and its corresponding translated target text, namely, Sargozašt-e ??ji B?b?-ye E?fah?ni, rendered into Persian by Mirza ?abib I?fahani in the 1880s. Employing Halliday’s (1985) systemic functional linguistics (SFL) for the analysis and assessment of translated works, the researchers analyzed the TT by accounting for the sets of constraints within which the expression of ideology take place. In order to indicate the ideological aspects, the study concentrated on the analysis of a number of textual features, namely, “nominalizations”, “voice shifts”, “modality shifts”, “agency shifts”, and “thematic progressions”. The study finally comes up with the conclusion that the TT has been under the influence of ideological manipulation by the translator in order to conform to the target culture’s textual and social values.

An experimental investigation of applying a magnetic field and a radiation source horizontally with the direction of alloy once and vertically in another, current range passing through alloy is (1-3) AMP. Alloy conductivity increase with magnetic field strength in the case of applying a magnetic field horizontally with the electrons movement direction once and vertically in another. Alloy electrical conductivity decreases with irradiation time when applying a magnetic field horizontally with the electrons movement direction once and vertically in another. Alloy conducutivity decreases with irradiation time by applying a magnetic field and a radiation source horizontally with the direction of alloy once and vertically in another. Magnetic field intensity increases with temperature when applying a magnetic field and a radiation source horizontally with the electrons direction in the alloy once and vertically in another.

This study aims to identify (1) the correlation between workplace happiness with teachers innovative behavior, and (2) the influence of workplace happiness on the teachers innovative behavior. A total of 835 teachers from 167 secondary schools were randomly selected daily from the three states in northern Peninsular Malaysia (Penang, Kedah and Perlis) as a sample. A questionnaire consisting of four parts have been used to obtain data from respondents. Translated questionnaire of Pryce-Jones (2010) was used to measure workplace happiness. Meanwhile, a questionnaire from Nik Azida (2007) was used to measure the behavior of teachers innovative. Findings indicate there are four dimensions of workplace happiness has a correlation with the behavior of teachers innovative. Furthermore, the results show several dimensions of workplace happiness has a significant influence on the contribution of teachers innovation behavior namely teacher contribution and teacher confidence. In conclusion, this study describes how the principal use of the workplace happiness to further strengthen the leadership and school culture in order to enhance school improvement such as the behavior of teachers innovative.

Let G = (V,E) be any simple finite graph. A subset D of V (G) is said to be Split Majority Dominating set of G if and the induced subgraph is disconnected. A split majority dominating set D is said to be minimal if there exists a vertex v of V such that D-{v} is not a split majority dominating set of G. The Split Majority Domatic Number denoted by is the maximum number of disjoint minimal split majority dominating sets obtained for a graph G. In this article, we have initiated the study of this concept.
