...RESEARCH PROJECT PROPOSAL A. Research Proposal Student Name: HOANG THI LUYEN Student ID: 1427723 Working Title/Provisional Topic Title: Sustainable supply chain management in recycling industry: A case study of Lavergne Group in Canada. 1. Aims/objectives/Research Questions: 1.1. Research aims The aim of this study is to evaluate the problems associated with securing a reliable and cost effective sustainable supply chain in the recycling industry and elements of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM). Recycling is a relatively new industry and the amount of recycling in countries varies significantly based on Political, Industry and Community issues. Academic and corporate awareness of sustainable supply chain and logistics issues has increased significantly in recent years (Seuring and Muller, 2008). Whilst demand for recycled raw materials is consistently increasing, the prerequisites for establishing a reliable supply chain are complex. Without a reliable and cost effective supply chain, manufacturers will avoid the use of recycled materials and instead choose less environmentally friendly virgin materials. Regardless of the reason for a company going ‘Green’ and looking for sustainability, there are key market drivers and requirements for such goals to be successful. This paper will examine the key supply chain factors that are required to optimise ...

...1) The research topic ; Academic Performance THE EFFECT OF STUDY HABITS ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN KPTM-KL 2) Background research ; The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades that a student earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary factor that indicates of such learning. If a student earns high grades it is concluded that they may also have learned a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that would affect the grades. Not a single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been interplay of so many factors – gender, IQ, study habits, age, year level, parent’s educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birth order, etc. In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factors are a variable of academic performance. However, at this point in time, the researchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of study habits and the factors affecting it to the academic achievement of under graduate education students of KPTM-KL. The investigation of on this area thus becomes a real and compelling motivation for the researchers to conduct this study. 3) Statement of problem This study intended to find out the factors affecting the study habits of undergraduate KPTM-KL Education students. It also aimed to answer the following...

There is an interesting article on innovative research methods in your field, so you decide to take notes. Two hours later, the paper is still untouched when there is a phone call from your advisor. It seems that he was given an opportunity for a sabbatical in Europe, and the date for your proposal has been moved up six months. You immediately shove the books aside (for the paper you thought you would work on), and you begin outlining the proposal. After a few moments, there is a knock at the door. You knew your friend was having a difficult personal time but why did it have to turn into a crisis now? Being the sensitive and available person that you are, you set aside your work to listen and comfort your friend. After several hours, you realize, as your friend is leaving, that you haven't eaten, you never started on your paper, the proposal is still mainly a collection of ideas in your head; and that you were so preoccupied with the personal pressures you were feeling that you wonder if you really did your friend any good. However, you decide that the urgent things will always push out things you planned so you start to wonder if you should give up planning. The scenario described is often referred to as "The Tyranny of the Urgent." There are some things that are out of our control, like a friend with...

...CHAPTER I CONTEXTUAL FRAMEWORK 1.1 The problem and its importance Education is the means of learning and for which the society can develop and sustain the people that live in it. In schools and high schools, students must read for any subject, so the reading must be a skill with which they can study properly. However, lately, the students are having reading problems what affects them in the grades and scores. The root of the problem is that the students do not like to read or because they do not feel motivated by their teachers. Many times, the teachers do not use the proper techniques of reading. Also, the students have problems by reading in their own language. This occurs because they really do not like the type of literature used in the high school. On the other hand, learners must read in English, this is another problem because the students find English difficult because English has a different structure from Spanish. In this work, different theories will be cited in order to analyze the problem and what techniques can be useful for improving when reading. Some of those techniques that can help to improve reading in English in the classroom are scanning, skimming, previewing, predicting among others, which will be explained later. Another point is that the students do not read for lack of help of their parents at home. This thesis will encourage the connection of the three elements, teacher-student-parents. The idea is that parents and teachers help the student to read...

...social positivity, education and they give children a sense of responsibility (Zaky, 2014). Furthermore, researchers expand their projects to investigate the negative consequences of cartoons that may threaten children's mind and social behavior. Indeed, Zakia (2016) in her study emphasizes that children are affected negatively by foreign cartoons as they show an enormous number of violent acts, offensive words, obscene language, and excessive use of fantasy. As a result, she recommends that children should watch cartoons under their parents control so that these negative impacts will be much lower. Moreover, Hassan and Daniyal (2013) conduct a study to examine the cartoons impact on the school going children in Pakistan. They found that cartoons have strong effect on the in-class behaviors of children and therefore believe that cartoon programs are a clear-cut evidence that increases the child's aggression and violent behavior in both short-term and long-term context. A plenty of useful and valid studies have been conducted to reconnoiter cartoons' effects on children's behaviors, aggression and social interaction. Nevertheless, many of these studies are done in Non-Arab countries which do not reflect the identical situation of this problem in our country. In other words, the variation of cultures, environments and social lives as well as the habits of raising children among Arabs make it difficult to take these studies as a model and apply it in our society. Thus, it is important...

...Introduction This paper will critically evaluate the two research approaches outlined by Admiraal and Wubbels (2005) within the context of my own research project. As a current practitioner in a primary school, I have chosen to focus my area of enquiry on the development of children’s literacy, specifically learning to read. My research will also be linked to the recent educational focus on closing the attainment gap between children from deprived backgrounds and those from wealthier families. (Sosu and Ellis, 2014, Save the Children, 2014). The main research question is: How does poverty and deprivation impact on children's ability to read well? By evaluating the two approaches, I will explore the relevance of each one in terms of my own project, before concluding which approach I feel is best suited for me to carry out my own research....

It is utterly important to get the meaning of what we are reading otherwise it would be meaningless. It will be like staring at words without knowing what it is about. Reading without comprehension is also like listening to a person talking to you without understanding what he or she actually wants to convey”, Riley Johnson (2010). Reading is indispensable and one of the most important aspects of learning. It is also one of the most essential parts in student’s life. It is necessary to determine the possible problems that the students are facing in relation to their comprehension skills in reading, to come up with the most appropriate strategies in reading suitable for the leaner’s ability to understand the text. This reseach is intended to detect the reading comprehension level of the freshmen Bachelor of Arts major in English of Quirino State University in relation to their speed...

...Frank Pogue (2000) did a research project to determine why students fail. What he founds to be true in that study habits survey was that more than 30 years ago still rings true today-students fail because they do not know how to study. The best advice he can give is to develop sound study skills. He said that a student should make sure that he/she has a good study environment, a good desk, a sturdy chair, good light, comfortable room temperature and a quiet atmosphere. That means he/she should eliminate all external and internal distractions. Second, get a good overview of the assignment before starting the work. Know what skills, facts and ideas that are expected to master and the ground that are expected to cover. Start with most difficult subjects first, while the mind is freshest and most receptive. In his experimental study on the effect of learning, Winter stated that the first and probably the most important thing needed was to acquire the habits of studying effectively. Effective methods of study consisted basically of those fundamental principles which under laid efficiency. Doing one’s work regularly, staying at it until it was done and not getting behind in it should be the general guides for successful study as well as in any field of endeavor. It was assumed that the pupils had ability enough to cope successfully with the academic tasks. The success of the responses to the task depended in great measure to their efforts. As postulated by Credé and Kuncel (2008)...

Some of this habits make them forgot to do their school responsibilities because of enjoyment that it caused to them.

Everyone cannot be brilliant but everyone can learn how to study. Effective study habits, even highly intelligent student failed due to inefficient work and lack of knowledge on how to study effectively. Important skills for study have to be learned and practiced. Moreover, students who put in more classrooms how and who work to a more regular program of study have a better academic performance. Study habits tend to be formed in the early grades and in the most instances, do not materially improve after elementary school. Some students often complain about mental inability or strain or lack of interest in studies. Other thinks they are not capable. Purpose of the study The purpose...
