A DBMS includes: Data models: A modeling language to define the schema of each database hosted in the DBMS, according to the DBMS data model. The four most common types of organizations are the hierarchical, network, relational and object models. Inverted lists and other methods are also used. A given database management system may provide one or more of the four models. The optimal structure depends on the natural organization of the application's data, and on the application's requirements (which include transaction rate (speed), reliability, maintainability, scalability, and cost). The dominant model in use today is the ad hoc one embedded in SQL, despite the objections of purists who believe this model is a corruption of the relational model, since it violates several of its fundamental principles for the sake of practicality and performance. Many DBMSs also support the Open Database Connectivity API that supports a standard way for programmers to access the DBMS. Data structures: Data...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Introduction Education is the process through which an individual is developed into individuality and a person into a personality. Each person is different from the other and every individual has some unique potential in some field or the others. Education does not simply refer to the numbers of years an individual spends in a school or college or in any educational institution. It refers to the change in behavior, attitude and culture brought about in the individual as a result of his having undergone education during a particular period. Thus, the main characteristics of any educational process are to bring about the best in the Individual. The basic problem today in education is the problem of motivating the students to learn at all levels. The tremendous explosion of knowledge makes it impossible for anyone to keep himself abreast of times even in one’s own sphere of knowledge, unless he develops the habit of careful and well planned study any educational evidences raised on foundations of lacking breath and depth of knowledge becomes unfounded and unsteady. The process of learning is influenced by a variety of personal factors such as sensation and perception, fatigue attention, age study habits, self perception, attention, Intelligence, attitude etc. Study habit serve as the vehicle of learning and self perception is a key factor in learning, or major production of education, nor that it exerts an all pervading...

Key words: faculty members` awareness, time management Time is considered as one of the most important resources as all other resources related to it within its availability or shortage. Moreover, all tasks wither it was simple or small need time. Time has its own characteristics since it’s in continuous motion that can’t be stopped and it can’t be saved. It is a fixed quantity resource within 24 hours a day for all individuals and it cant be retrieved too ( Haynez, 2006). Those characteristics make it necessary to deal with time through wisdom and careful...

...Unit 4 Management Assignment Edina Ndebele 1. Creating a new coordination position will mean that the CEO would delegate the responsibility of helping the location managers. This will help him to focus on developing a strategy to expand the business .This can mean a strategy to franchise or opening another location. He can decide on the advantages or disadvantages between the two strategies on the other hand the coordinator will have authority to make decisions that affect the two location managers. 2. Promoting an existing manager is the best option .The advantage of promoting from within the organization is that the manager would be already familiar with the business and also it can motivate others to work hard knowing that there is a potential of being promoted and fill the open management positions. The internal manager would be already familiar with the culture of the organization 3. The CEO should be making these decisions since the coordinator will be reporting to him. The CEO may delegate the hiring process to the human resources department but he will still be accountable for the person who is ultimately hired. 4. The levels of authority will be as follows: The CEO will hold a top level management position, the coordinator will hold middle level management and the location managers will hold the lower level management position.

...Private experience with learning at university including time and space management. How did the time management theory help me with learning. Time and space management are very important matters to almost all people, who like to have their life organized. They are crucial while studying, doing projects or another types of work where the time given is strictly limited. When it comes to my private experience considering learning at the university, it is positive. First of all, and the most important for me, there are no gaps in the schedule, so I do not waste my time while waiting for classes. Second, if a gap somehow occurs, there is a great library, where many interesting books can be found, moreover, there are separate rooms for individual or group work there. On the university we can find many places, where we can chat and also discuss with friends our class projects. One of the most important matters for students are professors’ office hours, moreover it is great to know that they are always willing to help. Theories about time management presented in class made me more aware of how to plan my time efficiently. I realized how much time, just slipped through my fingers. I decided to buy a large calendar and hang it in a visible place in the apartment. I started planning all things at least a week ahead and writing them down on the calendar first, and it worked great. Now, I never check my email in the morning, as a matter of fact, I try not to check it before...

...TIME MANAGEMENT AND STUDY HABITS OF GRADUATING ACCOUNTING STUDENTS IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MINDANAO A Research Paper Presented to Prof. Jocel Siglos – CASE Faculty In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for English 201: Academic Writing, 5:30-6:30 PM By Ang, Diana Rose De Lima, Geralden Tampus, Christian Leonard March 2016 Chapter 1 The Problem and its Settings Background of the Study Time is a very important concept for everyone, especially for BSA students who want to graduate and earn a degree. In a short span of time, a student must do his assignments, pass projects before or on the deadline, and for graduating students, there’s the pre-review courses which require a lot of reading and problem solving. Time becomes even more important when they enter the professional industry since an accountant has to deal with periodic reporting and tax return filing deadlines. One would easily conclude that without proper time management and good study habits, anyone will fail in anything. Thus this study aims to explore these factors and how it actually affects the academic performances of accounting students, especially the graduating ones. Time management, as defined by Wikipedia.org, is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. It is a skill that each BSA student must have in order to remain in the college....

(1998), A Creative Approach to Management Accounting: Case Studies in Management Accounting and Control, Sheffield Hallam University Press, ISBN 086339 791 3. The author wishes to acknowledge Jayne Ducker and Tony Head for their editorial and developmental contributions to this case study and teaching note. Global Limited is a small company which supplies quality inspectors to the pipeline industry. The company's clients include some of the major plcs in the UK, such as the major petroleum and gas companies. The inspectors are required by these companies to provide an independent certification that the steel used in the construction of the pipes, which channel the gas and oil, meets the required standard. Additionally, inspectors are required to provide an independent certification that the joinings (known as 'welds') made when laying the pipelines are also made in accordance with industry standards. The pipelines are either laid under the ground or on the sea bed. Some inspectors are therefore required to work in rolling mills, inspecting the quality of steel and the production of the pipes, whilst others are required to work on installation sites, checking the welds. These locations can be anywhere in the world. The company is owned and managed by...
