Aim of this present study is to investigate the relationship between social capital &; knowledge Management Company in the Iranian national refining and distribution of oil. Our model has four dimensions of knowledge management and a model for social capital. The statistical sample of this study was the manager and employees of the Iranian national oil refining and distribution company based in the proposed model of research, we examined the hypothesis of the research, which consisted of a main hypothesis and five hypotheses of submarines. At last, the research hypotheses were tested By Spearman Correlation Factor and four hypotheses were accepted and one of them weren't accepted And their significance factor was confirmed. Afterward, by the multi factor data analyzer, it was noticed That the independent variables of research has multi dimension correlation with km as a dependant variable

Although transportation is one of the basic means of measuring development, in a country, in most developing countries, rural transportation is inadequate. The study discusses the importance of the role of transportation in development with respect to rural settlement areas in rural areas of Plateau State in Nigeria. The approach was based on field observation and the interpretation of data collected to inform the role transportation plays in the transportation of agricultural produce. Roads conditions were assessed through respondents and how they ranked the conditions of roads in selected rural settlement areas in Plateau State. This was preceded by analysing sets of data from a desktop survey to put the study in context. The transportation problems faced by rural dwellers in Plateau State impacts negatively on their quality of life i.e. high cost, inadequate maintenance of roads. In spite of these challenges rural dwellers cannot do without transporting their produce to market centers. However, the challenges the challenge are the costs, the road conditions and inadequate provision for transportation of agricultural produce from rural areas to market centers.

The main goal of this research is to study the relationship between Business Intelligence and productivity in the companies, manufacturer of pressure vessels, located in Amol – Mazandaran. The other goal of this research is to prioritize the factors of Business Intelligence using AHP approach. The population of the research consists of top, middle, and operating managers, that out of a group of 90 people, 76 of them have been selected, based on the Morgan Sample Capacity Estimating Table, as the sample of the study. For collecting data, two questionnaires of Business Intelligence and productivity have been used. At first, to analyze the research data, the efficiency of each unit has been measured by the help of DEA technique. Then by the help of descriptive and inferential statistics, the hypothesis of the research have been studied and finally the factors of Business Intelligence have been prioritized by the AHP approach. According to the results of DEA technique, units that have more resources will act in a weaker level in terms of efficiency. The result of testing the hypothesis showed that there was a positive and meaningful relationship between Individual (P=0.006), system quality (P=0.009), individual learning (P=0.043), competitive performance(P=0.01), and productivity. There is also a positive and meaningful relationship between Business Intelligence and productivity (P=0.02). Among the factors of Business Intelligence, the competitive performance is the most important factor in enhancing productivity, and the Mental Model Maintenance is the least one.

The main source of the Nigerian energy generation is the non-renewable source (which includes the burning of Fossil fuels). Fossil fuels (Coal, Natural gas and Petroleum) are being consumed and certain chemical compounds such as CO2 are emitted into the atmosphere. The objective of this research is to examine the trend of CO2 emission from the consumption of Fossil fuels and fitting a model for monitoring the process. Vector Autoregressive Model (VAR) was developed. The Portmanteau test for serial correlation and the Wald test for Granger-causality were carried out. VAR (1) fit the data. The Portmanteau test showed that error term are serially uncorrelated. The Wald test, showed that CO2 emission from Coal Granger-cause emission from Natural gas and Petroleum and vice-versa. The emission from Natural gas does not Granger-cause emission from Petroleum.

Businesses calculate the life time value of customers and extrapolate their future profits. Higher revenues are guaranteed only when the customer keeps a business relationship with the business for entire his or her life. Given the small sample population of micro businesses are keen to retain their customers for longevity of their profits as against a situation where a customer switches before his life time value ceases. This study indicates that micro businesses are keeping good customer relationship with its customers via word-of-mouth marketing which is considered as instrumental for success of majority of micro business as it serves as a credibility filter and is carried out independently by the customers. At the same time, this finding does not indicate any clear picture as to which form of marketing is doing better. Because our empirical analysis indicates that majority of micro business are dormant in the domain of social media marketing.

Indeed, elucidation of any ethical system depends on human cognition and untill the founder of moral system has no correct cognition about human it cannot distinguish value from its counter and cannot separate well-being propositions from the atrocious one,thus any act of moral is based on a particular ideology and any philosophical school, any heavenly and non- heavenly religion is based on its moral virtue and criterion and finally is to consolidate and defend it with its knowledge. The author of this paper attempts to examine the comparative study of the subject from the perspective of the ethitical realisms (Socratest, Plato, and Aristotle) and the Islam moral system through descriptive and analytical approach, and at the end after comparing these views, concludes that the virtue and Islamic moral criterion is a comprehensive criterion which includes objective good, subjective good and ultimate good which its infra-structure is "justice", but these criteria have been ethically and clearly explained and collected in none of moral schools.

The purposes of research were 1) to study the knowledge used by local folk healers, the condition of healing and services, the acceptance of the methods used by the folk healers in Loei Province, and 2) to develop the model for the promotion of the community health with the herbal wisdom of I-san folk healer participated by the related stakeholders. Mixed methods of quantitative and qualitative research were applied, the quantitative research was used in the survey, and the quantitative research was used in an in-depth interview, the participatory observation, and focus group discussion. The target groups in this study consisted of the registered folk healers from 14 districts of Loei who still perform the healing, the local people who get the services or used to get the services from the folk healers, the senior people in the areas, and Thai traditional medicine scholars. The findings were as follows. All folk healers treat the illness according to the systems of human body. The healing condition in which the folk healers used was related to the belief of local culture that the folk healers believe, including (1)the belief in the causes of illness, (2) 4 elements and 5 aggregates of life, (3) astrological belief on fate, (4) astrological belief on the causes of illness, (5) the belief on the 4 elements of life, (6) the belief in the rite of Thai traditional medicine, (7) the belief and the rite on the herbs, and (8) the belief on the village herbs and the elimination of illness.

Parenting plays a very important role in developing personalities of their children. It is like a long term investment in which parents should not force their children to do well in their own life. Parents should know that their children came into the beautiful life with their own temperaments and should recognize that they have their own interests. Parental pressure affects the personality and self esteem of the adolescents. Personality is the unique characteristic of the individual and due to differences in personalities the person is different from others in terms of temperament, coping strategies, emotions etc. Self esteem means the person’s faith on self. It is the feeling of an individual that one has about himself or herself. The aim of the present investigation is to study the perceived parental pressure in relation to personality and self esteem. Sample was randomly selected from different streams (arts, commerce and science) of 11th standard of various Government senior secondary schools of Chandigarh. The sample was then administered on perceived parental pressure inventory – PPPI (Thara Sebastain, 1997), NEO-FFI (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and self esteem scale (Rosenberg, 1965). For the analysis of data descriptive statistics, correlation, ANOVA and regression were used.The calculated value shows that there were significant gender differences in the perceived parental pressure, agreeableness, conscientiousness, overall personality and self esteem. It was also revealed that there was negative and significant relationship between perceived parental pressure and agreeableness, perceived parental pressure and conscientiousness and between perceived parental pressure and self esteem. Analysis of variance describes the significant interaction of gender and academic interest in perceived parental pressure, personality and self esteem.

Since its inception, Color Filter Arrays (CFA) image compression has proved to be the most popular approach for image storage in single sensor camera imaging. CFA plays a very important role in the single sensor Digital Still Cameras (DSCs) to record intensity information of one color component at each pixel location. The captured image data is then compressed with different compression methods. CFA image compression introduced several innovative schemes to perform both lossy and lossless compression. Number of studies is available in the literature with respect to the performance of CFA image compression and its mechanisms. In this paper, a systematic survey of the CFA image compression in both lossy and lossless mode from 1991 to 2011 is presented. The surveyed papers discuss the coding techniques used and the resulting observations about compression performance in terms of bit rate PSNR of the reconstructed image.
