Role of socio-cultural milieu on becoming an entrepreneur in India
A successful entrepreneur is a unit of society and hence, an entrepreneur is the contribution of constellation of factors or forces working in tandem within a cultural context. At the same time an entrepreneur is also a reflection of the cultural context he/she is a part of. Hence, it becomes imperative to highlight and explicate the role of those socio-cultural factors in a country like India where cultural diversity with regards to norms, values, beliefs, religion, kinship and institutions forms the bedrock for conditioning and tailoring of an individual to become a successful entrepreneur. Nevertheless, entrepreneurs are the creations of the socio-cultural environment. Thus, this paper with the objective of bringing to fore the imperative role of socio-cultural milieu in tailoring an entrepreneur in an Indian society is purely based on the secondary literature.

Second-order slip flow on diffusion of chemically reactive species in a non-Newtonian Casson fluid past a vertical stretching sheet
The second order slip boundary condition influence on diffusion of chemically reactive species of non-Newtonian fluid over a vertical permeable linearly stretching or shrinking sheet with surface mass transfer is considered using a second order slip flow model. Casson fluid model is used to characterize the non-Newtonian fluid behavior. The first order chemical reaction is considered. Choosing appropriate similarity variables, the partial differential equations are transformed into a set of non-linear self-similar ordinary differential equations, which are then solved numerically using the function bvp4c from Matlab for different values of the governing parameters. The results clearly show that the second order slip flow model is necessary to predict the flow characteristics accurately. A comprehensive numerical computation is carried out for various values of the parameters that describe the flow characteristics.

Self Curing Compaction by using Liquid paraffinWax & Conplast SP 430
Cement is most generally utilized development material because of its great compressive quality and solidness. One of the significant parameter which impact quality is curing. Curing assumes a noteworthy part in building up the solid microstructure and pore structure. Curing is the way toward keeping up appropriate dampness content especially inside 28 days to advance ideal bond hydration promptly after situation. Great curing is not for all intents and purposes conceivable in the majority of the cases, for example, vertical individuals, human mistakes, places where there is shortage of water. In such conditions self curing cement is exceptionally versatile and alleviating the above issues. The self curing solid implies that no outside curing is required for cement. The idea of self curing cement is to decrease the water vanishing. As characterized by ACI, "Self or interior curing alludes to the procedure by which the hydration of bond happens in view of the accessibility of extra inner water that is not part of the blending water." One of the methods of self curing is by utilizing hydrophilic materials. A portion of the regularly accessible hydrophilic materials are Polyethylene Glycol, Paraffin wax, Acrylic corrosive. The utilization of hydrophilic materials minimizes the loss of water from the solid and aides in ceaseless curing of cement. In this study, considered review of cement is M40. The admixture utilized for self curing is Fluid Paraffin Wax, which is dry, scentless and dull. The impact of variety in quality parameters i,e., Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength were considered with Liquid Paraffin Wax (self curing specialist) (0.1% by weight of bond) and contrasted and that of traditional cured cement. The admixture Conplast SP430 was included (0.3% by weight of bond) in both traditional concrete and self curing concrete for increment of workability. The plan blend extent was 1:1.45:2.95. Quality of self curing cement is keeping pace with customary cement. From this study, reasoned that utilizing of Liquid Paraffin Wax as self curing operator can indicate critical variety in quality of cement.

Study of subscriber satisfaction in slotted aloha and resource allocation algorithm of GSM network
Determination of subscriber satisfaction level during the period of getting access towards wireless network would support service providers to optimize their network. The subscriber satisfaction level with respect to successful call attempt was studied considering Slotted Aloha and Fixed Resource allocation (FCA) algorithm of GSM Network. The uniform allocation of aloha channel among all the subscribers was found when simulation was carried out for one hour. Slotted Aloha Algorithm performance found to be excellent when it was analyzed for a longer duration. In FCA, the percentage of total subscribers accessing the network in busy hour found to be very less and would result in high level of subscriber dissatisfaction. A novel method of resource allocation technique is proposed to improve the subscriber satisfaction while accessing the network in busy hour. An average improvement of 35 % was found in proposed method.

Taken defensiv strategy of prioritizing the capacity of banks to earn fee income from providing services using analytic hierarchy process (Case Study: Bank Mellat)
Due to major changes taken place in the banking system of Iran, Bank Mellat has faced new challenges: restructuring state sectors into private ones through privatization, an increase in their rivals, the intense competition to obtain more market share, bringing about more expenses and costs as to four bank deposits, etc., has led the bank to tends to increase the commission (the income from services’ commission). In this paper, the researcher has collected the required information through interviews with experts as well as scientific and library studies.the purpose of this study is Taken defensiv strategy of prioritizing the capacity of banks to earn fee income from providing services using analytic hierarchy process. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a structured technique for dealing with complex decisions that was developed by Thomas L. Saaty in the 1980 year. It provides a comprehensive and rational framework for structuring a decision problem, for representing and quantifying its elements, for relating those elements to overall goals, and for evaluating alternative solutions. The base of this model is comparing variables by pair wise by Matrix relationship. In this way, pair wise of the effective variables on the prioritizing the capacity of banks were considered and based on relative weights the output was extent. In the present research, combination of Indexing system Method with Analytical Hierarchy Process has been applied to assess the prioritizing the capacity of banks. By this process. The findings of the research show that the issue of fees based on the separation of non-shared with 0/179 point and Trying to customer satisfaction with 0/117 point are located in first and second rank.

The gain lies in the details: soil respiration-temperature-moisture relationships: addition to global data bank
Sciences and technologies in the era of globalisation have gone extra mile in making non patented data and information accessible and most often free of charge to fellow scientists, technologists and the entire public. For civilised worlds they are vital for national and economic planning. In the era of internet, developed as world wide web; information and communication technologies have assisted researchers, scientists, publishers and consumers share on global commodity of the brain, mind and soul. It is on this note that this paper delves into detailed field and laboratory data generated on soil respiration-temperature-moisture relationships as an addition to global data bank. They are very crucial for comparative studies and for developing networking geared towards abating greenhouse gases emissions holocaust. The world is sitting on a keg of gunpowder that is neglected in pursuit of non-nuclear proliferation, nuclear accident and nuclear war. Already, there are global warming and climatic change wars raging all over the planet. Let us develop and share data and information that can warn the government and citizenry on scientific and technological dangers of the world that are similar to nuclear holocaust. It is a problem of developed and undeveloped worlds as nature knows no boundary akin to territory boundary protections.

The relationship between morale and job performance of teachers: A case study in selected secondary schools in Malaysia
The purpose of this paper is to explore the interrelationships between morale and job performance of secondary school teachers. This is a questionnaire survey involving secondary school teachers from four schools in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. The information gathered was used to develop a statistical model to explain how teachers’ morale affects their job performance. A total number of 92 respondents were involved in this study. The findings showed that there was a significant difference in the morale status between the male and female teachers; the male teachers registered a moderately higher score as compared to the females. It was also found that there is no significant difference in the job performance between male and female teachers. Apart from that, this study also revealed that all the five factors: leadership, belongingness, environment, personal development and collegiality contributed significantly to teachers’ morale. The working environment was rated as the most important factor among the five. A structural equation model was developed to determine the relationships between the various morale determinants, morale status, and job performance of the teachers. The results indicate that the ‘environment’, ‘personal development’ and ‘collegiality’ factors affect the feeling of ‘personal reward’ of the teachers while ‘leadership’, ‘belongingness’, ‘environment’ and ‘personal development’ influenced their ‘cohesive pride’. It was also found that only the ‘leadership’ factor had a direct impact on ‘job performance’. The other morale determinants affect the ‘job performance’ of the teachers indirectly either by affecting ‘personal reward’ or ‘cohesive pride’.

The rise of cultural nationalism in contemporary china: the main content and causes
This article intends to explore the rise of cultural nationalism in Contemporary China. For most of the previous century, traditional culture had been widely condemned as “impediments to China’s development” and therefore needed to be uprooted. However, since the 1990s, the traditional culture has experienced an unprecedented resurgence and the cultural nostalgia (later defined as cultural nationalism) quickly ascended as one of the most powerful ideological trends among the contemporary Chinese society. This article seeks to discover what caused such a dramatic shift. It starts with a brief historical background for the emergence of the current cultural nationalism, and then moves on to explain its two main ideological themes: “anti-Marxism” and “anti-Western” by examining representative works. It explores the economic, social cultural and political causes for the rise of cultural nationalism by drawing Primordialism, Modernism and Huntington’s theory concerning “modernization and cultural resurgence” in non-Western societies.

The wrong determination of objectives in teaching
The following paper gives us a meaningful example of how in many cases the teacher sets the task to realize the objectives of the wrong and impossibles with students. So it shows how as is achieve in incorrect definition of determination of objectives without achieved basic purpose of the text on the teaching theme in question. Based in this it is achieved to give suggestions on how to analyze the scientific material given to us in the text of the Knowledge of Nature of the elementary school in order to define the objectives required on request of the process of the stable assimilation of the teaching material by the students. For this , on the basis of many teaching experiments and concrete didactic treatments in this field with students and teachers, the article argues on how , in this direction, we constantly encounter incorrect determinations which leads in a non-well treated teaching process. This article indicates that, rather than identifying the essence of the thing, they focus on some completely different findings that cant be reached not only by the students but also from the best specialists of the actual field worldwide. This paper shows how much concetrated and logical must be the teachers while compiling the teaching-plan of their classes in order to make the lesson easier for the students and not to face , either them or themselves, off with “ the impossible”.
