...environment were categorized differently. Often, business is for the economy and environment is the welfare of our Mother Earth where in fact it can work interconnectedly. Both can associate and benefit each other. Micro, small and medium enterprises are defined as any business activity engaged in industry, agri-business or services whether single proprietorship, cooperative, partnership or corporation whose total assets inclusive of those arising from loans but exclusive of the land on which the particular business entity’s office, plant and equipment are situated. (Department of Trade and Industry [DTI], 2007) They are mostly affected by the non plastic ordinance. It is very important on how these small and medium enterprises comply with the Provincial Ordinance No.2012-09 because their consumers are major actors and they can minimize or eliminate the use of short-lived applications of plastics. Bulacan PCEDO (2005) revealed that Bulacan is considered the Small Medium Enterprises (SME) Capital of Region 3 because 35% of small and medium enterprises in Central Luzon were from Bulacan. It all started in 2003 when TatakBulakenyo was launched. TatakBulakenyo is an effort to generate market opportunities and livelihood for the province’s micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by enhancing the quality of local products. Initially, seven priority products had been identified for product development under the TatakBulakenyo seal: pastillas de...

A comparison was made between students who have studied in Bengali medium and those who have studied in English medium schools. To serve the purpose 60 respondents [40 female students and 20 male students of age group from 18 to 21 yrs] were selected purposively. Standardized questionnaires on Achievement Motivation, English Language Achievement and Personality were used. Data were collected from different colleges. After scoring the responses, the data were analysed by using Mean,...

...standards: does size matter? John Goodwin School of Accounting and Law, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, and 460 Kamran Ahmed School of Business, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Australia Abstract Purpose – This study seeks to examine the impact of Australian equivalents to international financial reporting standards (A-IFRS) on the accounts of small-, medium- and large-sized firms. Design/methodology/approach – For 135 listed Australian entities, the half-yearly accounts ended 30 June 2005 are examined to identify the effects of A-IFRS. Data are gathered on the change in major balance sheet and income statement elements, the major reconciling items and earnings variability. Findings – Findings show that more than half of small firms have no change in net income or equity from A-IFRS, and that there is an increase in the number of adjustments to net income and equity with firm size. The study also finds that A-IFRS has increased net income for small- and medium-sized firms. Equity has increased (decreased) under A-IFRS for small (large) firms. Small firms experience higher earnings variability than medium-sized or large firms under A-IFRS. Research limitations/implications – The sample is limited to 31 December reporting date firms and not all A-IFRS must be complied with when firms restate their comparatives. Practical implications – Analysts, auditors and other account users should be aware that the effects of A-IFRS are correlated with firm size. Originality/value – This...

...All of this is also part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic spectrum is range of wavelengths that electromagnetic radiation could extends.Red being the longest wave length then followed by orange, yellow , green , blue , indigo and violet which has the shortest wave length. In this case this means that Gamma rays had the longest wave length followed by x rays , ultraviolet , infrared, microwaves then the one with the shortest wavelength is radiowaves. This means that radio waves has the lowest frequency. The shorter the wave length the lower the frequency. Frequency is the amount of wavelengths that passes through a certain point. So using radio waves as an example since it has the shortest wave length so that means that it would be faster for a wavelength to travel, this is measured in...

...REVIEW OF JOURNAL PAPER JOURNAL: COGNITION ARTICLE: OOPS, SCRATCH THAT! MONITORING ONE’S OWN ERRORS DURING MENTAL CALCULATONS ABSTRACT: The Feeling of Error (F.O.E) is an experience differing from person to person stating that something has gone wrong during a reasoning or calculation task. The primary goal of the article was to assess the accuracy of F.O.E in the context of mental mathematical calculation. Number bisection task (N.B.T) was used to evoke this metacognitive feeling and it was assessed by asking participants if they felt that they committed a mistake. In this task the participant were asked whether the number in the middle of a triplet corresponds to the arithmetic mean of the outer two numbers (e.g 07_16_25) with a yes or no answer. The result from the study showed that the F.O.Es were strongly correlated with arithmetic errors and properties of the triplets. This finding indicates that even very fast metacognitive feelings are reliable when it comes to evaluating one’s own mental performance. The occurrence of F.O.E is determined also by the fluency with each triplet was solved and the post decision process after answering. In addition the participants were asked to report their confidence in their answer when there was no report of an F.O.E. This was to test whether there was a feeling of error on a sub-conscious level even when it wasn’t consciously reported. AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT: 1. To prove metacognitive feeling of error is a reliable error...

...In his book, McLuhan defines his concept of a hot medium as the one “extends one single sense in high definition, the state of being well filled with data” (22) . In this case, people hardly put their own effort in getting the information but receive the information by visual or oral means. On the other hand, “cool” mediums are “high in participation or completion by the audience” (23), requiring much involvement from different sensories. Reviewers on Yelp go to the place, taste the foods, sense the aura of the restaurant, and especially put their thoughts into words. The combination of these different actions shows that Yelp is an example of a predominantly “cool” medium. Yelp puts the role of the authority on the customers, given that customers control their own discoveries of the local businesses, by means of touching, writing, and seeing. The sense of affiliation is reflected on the way users touch the screen, scroll up and down the screen to read different reviews and see their photos. All these gestures of finding information on Yelp are far more active than sitting at places to absorb information through means of “hot media” such as radios or televisions. Yelp exemplifies another important idea of McLuhan’s which states...

...Physics of sound Sound is a mechanical wave, sequence of waves is resulting from an air pressure disturbance produced by vibration, and sound propagates through the medium such as air or water. During the propagation, sound can be reflected or attenuated by the medium. Humans can hear the sound is because the vibration pass the wave in to our ear, this is called Traveling Longitudinal Waves. The propagation of the sound can be affected by the density and pressure. The temperature determines the speed of sound with in the medium, also the medium itself would affect the propagation such as wind (moving medium) if the medium is moving therefore the wave would propagated further; with the medium don’t have viscosity, sound would be easier to propagate, but if the medium have an negative viscosity such as water the it would affects the motion of the sound wave. On the top is the diagram of the travellingwave the bar above the diagram represent the concentrations of the pressures on the wave, when the curve are compression (the part above the horizontal line) it represent a high pressure; when the curve are rarefaction (the part below the horizontal line) it represent a low pressure and they change from one to another, this pattern repeats indefinitely. Speed of sound = wavelength*Frequency Wavelength (it can be written as λ) is the distance between two consecutive corresponding points of a waveform. Normally the wavelength is about a meter long. The pitch/frequency of the...
