...The author defines a method for using cultural diversity measures in teaching economic principles courses, experiments were performed to test the impact of a teaching approach that explicitly includes cultural diversity measurements in a classroom discussion and statically tested student learning outcomes using this type of approach. In order for students to obtain profitable skills they need to be able to physically apply basic economic models to an casual observation. Further research reveals students economics test are lower than any other subject, except science. Today students need to learn how to synthesize economics with other business tools in the global context. Other disciplines associated with the functional areas of business has avidly incorporating implications of globalization for teaching. Chang, S. J. (2010, February).

Although we cannot identify the names of the schools that participated in this study, we want to thank all the teachers and administrators in these 19 schools. Without their cooperation and support, this study would not have been possible. We would also like to thank Dr. Maenette K. P. Benham and the four anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments. Ann Krause, Punya, Mishra, Matthew Koehler, and Gary Cziko offered very helpful comments and suggestions. 1 Abstract Why isn't technology used more in schools? Many researchers have been searching for solutions to this persistent puzzle. In this paper, we extend existing research on technology integration and diffusion of innovations by investigating relationships among the long list of factors that have already been identified to be related to school technology uses. In particular, we use the metaphor of an ecosystem to theoretically integrate and organize sets of factors that affect implementation of computer technology. We also hope that this metaphor will help us better understand other educational innovations. We conducted a study of technology uses in 19 schools in four districts. Findings of this...

The research paper is based on the most happening concern of Dhaka city- Traffic congestion. Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh is burdened with many different problems, namely housing problem, sanitation problem and problem related to water logging, etc. Yet, among many other problems, the city has been experiencing severe traffic-problem which is a common phenomenon in our daily life. Dhaka city situation is more alarming mainly due to vehicular movement and traffic jam. There are different types of vehicular namely, car, bus, jeep, truck, minibus, microbus, auto-rickshaw, tempo, mini-truck, motorcycles and innumerable numbers of rickshaws. There are many reasons behind traffic jam in Bangladesh. Among them some major factors are as follows: • Undisciplined traffic signal in the road. • Indiscipline among the road user. • Might is right, everybody are free to park their vehicle on Road. • No knowledge of traffic rules which encourage violating the rules. • Enforcement of rules by dishonest persons who are busy in collection of illegal money from traffic rules violators. • Heavy numbers of vehicle on roads. Time is the most valuable things in the twenty first centaury no doubt. And traffic jam is killing the most productive time of the people of Dhaka city. Time is going...

They are afraid to jump or cross the moat. So it will be safe and another aim is for to prevent the public visitors from animals. The hollow depth is depends upon the animals. ii)WET MOAT – This kind of moat is filled with waters. Because some animals are afraid for waters. This type of moat is mostly suitable for primates. It looks like an island. There are three kinds of enclosures: i)Public, ii)Zoo handling...

...The need for sustaining competitive advantage while constantly creating added value is driving organizations to identify and adopt appropriate new and innovative technologies in order to endure and thrive in today’s dynamic marketplace. Of significance is Porter’s (1985) approach to value chain analysis which argues that organizations can achieve competitive advantage by effectively managing its core competencies and activities to create cost advantage and/or differentiation by leveraging Information technology (IT) as a major strategic tool. The latest revolutionary technological breakthrough is the emergence of the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system which has the demonstrated ability to identify, track, trace and collect information on almost any physical object wirelessly, using electronic tags and radio waves connected to local and international telecommunications networks. RFID therefore provides at least a viable alternative to and significant advantage over the use of barcodes by making use of internet technology and thus providing unlimited opportunities for added value creation and business expansion. While, admittedly, it is no magic elixir and has serious implementation challenges, its full business benefits can be achieved once careful strategic analysis identifying the specific needs of the organization is exercised. RFID is part of the Automatic Identification (Auto-ID) technological grouping which includes barcodes and smart cards. A RFID system has three...

...HOW TO IMPROVE SALES On the Sales Floor … 1. The customer’s first 10 seconds inside the store sets the tone for their entire shopping trip. What kind of first impression does your store give? Check it daily. 2. Hang a bulletin board near your Decompression Zone usually 5 to 10 feet inside the store stating the services and product categories and also information like refund available and guarantee on service and if there is a sales also mention it. 3. Place speed bumps – small tabletop displays of product just beyond your Decompression Zone. Make these displays irresistible and easy to shop: customers are far more likely to buy if they’re encouraged to pick up the product. 4. Check your store aisles; they should be a minimum 2 to 3 foot gap′. Can shoppers easily maneuver the aisles? Can two customers – comfortably pass one another in each aisle? 5. Set your end features to sell! End features are meant to display promotional items; not to house everyday, basic merchandise. You need to plan what will go on your end features, so assign each one a number, and make a list of product each end feature will house each month. 6. Studies show that customers will spend 25 percent more and up to 15 minutes longer in the store when they shop with a basket. Even if your store is tiny, you can still offer customers a shopping basket. 7. Implement a signing program. Signs serve a purpose – they act as silent sales people, helping customers until a real person is available to help...

Historically, the volatility of the stock market is roughly 20% a year and 5.8% a month, but volatility keeps on changing, so we go through periods of high volatility and low volatility. Analysts and experts have different opinions about what you should do in volatile markets, and how to scope with stock market volatility or the tendency for share prices rising and falling. Analysts.

...USED IN ANIMAL TESTING? Thesis statement: This paper discusses research on how animal testing brings more medical advancement and less human-based experiments and sees if there are any alternatives to the use of animals in research since it is a practice of animal cruelty. Introduction Animal Testing refers to strategies done on living creatures for reasons of exploration into fundamental science and ailments, surveying the adequacy of new drugs, and examining the human health. The processes involved in this testing, even those that are seen to have no significant effect, still cause the animals bodily as well as mental pain and suffering. Often these processes cause a great deal of distress. Some animals are re-used in the succeeding experiments while others are killed at the end of the experiment. Approximately 115 million animals are estimated to be used every year in the world for laboratory experiments (Dawkins, 2012). However, only a few countries assemble and publish the data about the use of animal in testing and research. For instance, about 90 percent of the animals are used in laboratories in the United States. This statistics excludes species, for example, mice and birds, fish, reptiles and invertebrates, thus these figures presented by the U.S, Department of Agriculture is considerably underestimated. Countries in Europe such as France, United Kingdom, and Germany are among those using animals highly in their research with over 12million animals used every year (Kadambi...

...customer-oriented supply chain reorganization begun more than four years ago, K-C is improving distribution efficiencies, reducing transportation costs and shrinking its carbon footprint, while becoming an indispensable partner to retail customers” (Jamison, 2008, para.3). Technology and the Supply Chain Continuous advancements in technology offer new solutions to old problems in supply chain management as well as placing focus on the current needs of distribution in global markets. Real-time locations systems (RTLS) are among emerging technologies where “RFID is no longer considered an emerging technology. It is a proven solution with high value add and an increasingly attractive ROI, said Michael Liard, Director, AutoID for VDC Research Group.” (Zebra Technologies, 2012). Technology plays an important role in distribution where retail customers focus on inventory reduction while maintaining adequate supply to meet consumer demands. Real time information provides organizations such as Kimberly Clark with the necessary data to develop the most effective channels for distribution based on individual products and customers. Kimberly Clark’s EDI Solution Kimberly Clark’s efforts in supply chain improvement are validated through receipt of the Dick Clark Supply...

...Introduction The theme of my course paper sounds as following: «Adjective, its types and categories». Before beginning of investigation in our theme, I would like to say some words dealt with the theme of my course paper. Without referring to the traditional definition of adjectives you can find in any dictionary, Let's make our way into talking about the standard role of adjectives in language. In English the adjective is multifunctional. It is used essentially to describe an object but, in general, it is meant to enrich and clarify ideas and lead the interlocutors to communicate eloquently. Standing on such ground, I would like to point out tasks and aims of my work 1. The first task of my work is to give definition to term «adjective». 2. The second task is to describe the role of adjectives in our speech. 3. The last task of my work is to characterize adjectives from grammatical point of view. In our opinion the practical significance of our work is hard to be overvalued. This work reflects modern trends in linguistics and we hope it would serve as a good manual for those who wants to master modern English language. Also this work can be used by teachers of English language for teaching English grammar. The present work might find a good way of implying in the following spheres: 1. In High Schools and scientific circles of linguistic kind it can be successfully used by teachers and philologists as modern material for writing research works dealing with English adjectives...
