AbstractThis article studies the possible effect that education may have upon entrepreneurial success. It uses two data bases, one for Spanish, the other for English entrepreneurs. By means of statistical and econometric analysis, we examine the effects on entrepreneurial behaviour of a series of variables, several relating to education. We compare the Spanish with the English sample. The main conclusions are: education indeed has a considerable bearing upon entrepreneurial success; this bearing is much more evident in the English than in the Spanish samples; both educational systems are quite different; and, lastly, family income seems to have little effect either on entrepreneurial success or on the studies of future entrepreneurs.

The purposes of the study were to determine the extent of awareness of the fishermen in managing fish sanctuary and to find out the relationships between the extent of awareness of the fishermen and their selected characteristics. Data were collected from 90 purposively selected fishermen (out of 105) from Ghosherpara Union of Melandah Upazila Under Jamalpur District. A pre-tested and structured interview schedule was used to collect data from the fishermen during the period of 19 March to 30 March, 2013. The findings indicated that majority of the respondents (74.5 percent) had medium awareness and 25.5 percent having high awareness. Out of ten selected characteristics, the fishermen’s age, level of education, fish culture experience, communication exposure and agricultural knowledge on fish sanctuary showed significant positive relationships with their extent of awareness in managing fish sanctuary. On the other hand, household size, farm size, annual family income, training exposure and credit received had no significant relationships with their extent of awareness in managing fish sanctuary. So, to increase awareness of the fishermen in managing sanctuary, proper guidance and strengthening fisheries extension service should be done by fisheries extension workers/ upazila fisheries officer through arranging different activities including training, field visit or using different communication media etc.Progressive Agriculture 27 (3): 339-345, 2016

Education is considered as one of the main pillars of society. An educated society leads the development of a nation. Education is also one of the areas which is also strongly influenced by it and social change. The fact that the educational systems are in permanent change does not show instability. But rather on the other side, they serve to better adapt the society which is changing. Starting from the beginning the education system in Albania has experienced changes after the collapse of the communist system and the approach of society to these changes has been a sensitive issue. These changes were not very studied, since they were in a very unfavorable environments, in which our education system came from a widespread politicization, and they did not always have the right fruits which was often perceived by us as experiments. These changes have not passed without debate, not only by academics, but also by students and civil society. Methodology: The work is based on a comparative analysis over these three decades, relying also on INSTAT’s statistical data.Main results: In this paper, I will show the transformation of the higher education system and how today the Law on Higher Education after three years of implementation has encountered a number of problems where the state and universities are moving from one to the other and finally that those who suffer the consequences of this law are the Albanian young who are not finding themselves in the Albanian market.

Set Up

Opening up as many sources of information as possible is particularly conducive to the development of workable policy plans and to efficient decision-making in a democratic political system. It follows that MPs can greatly benefit from using computerized information systems.As far as the parliamentary activities are concerned, we can distinguish between internal and external information flow. The contents of the parliamentary documents, the procedure for processing them and the information on the parliamentary control are part of the internal information flow. The external information on the other hand refers to the relations between the MPs and the executive and the judiciary branches, supranational and international institutions as well as the library.To date, the House of Representatives has been the only assembly that has set up a computerized information system . The data bases of the House comprise : the parliamentary documents and the state of advancement of all proceedings linked to these documents (bath in the House and in the Senate) until the publication of the text in the official state journal. Other databases relate to the parliamentary control : interpellations, motions, oral questions and the entire text of the written parliamentary questions.The record of the House will also be stored in a data base giving references. The library fund has been integrated in the interlibrary network DOBIS-LIBIS.  A data base was also designed for the press information, and linked to an image processing system.What has been realized in the House to date must also be feasible for the other parliamentary assemblies. Viewed from that perspective, it seems advisable that data bases be centralized in one parliamentary information DP centre. Access to this centre should be particulary user-friendly and uniform, so much so that all MPs can make maximum use of it.The system set up by the House meets with an ever increasing demand from other possible users. In this context, attention should be drawn to the interconnection of this system with other parliamentary assemblies, the extension of the system to other users in the House ofthe MPs and the external access to the system via the telephone network: direct access for the universities, and for certain public and private institutions and individual MPs, and the BISTEL and/ or VIDEOTEX access.The majority of the public data bases linked to the telephone network can be interrogated via the BISTEL system, hut many interesting applications are not accessible via the telephone network as they function in closed circuits.Opening up data bases by linking them to the telephone network, implies that the problem of cost and privacy be carefully examined. As to privacy, we should reflect on the public or confidential character of the data and its consequences, on safeguarding the information stored in the system and on the evolution ofcommunications technology from the perspective of a continental European communications network.

Basic Facts

This essay brings together the factual material on changes in the distribution of labor market income that any of the theories addressed in the other papers in this symposium must address. The broad stylized facts are that the rapid growth and stable level of inequality of both total family income and individual labor market that marked the postwar period came to an end during the 1970s. Real mean earnings grew very little but inequality of earnings rose substantially. This reflected increases both in inequality between education and experience groups and within groups. Mobility showed little change over this period.

Dnr Orders

Decisions to place limitations on the care of patients are complex, and they often involve physicians, other medical professionals, patients, or a surrogate decision-maker, family members, and others. In 1988, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) and the New York State government adopted two different approaches to this complex issue of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders: one involved professional self-regulation, whereas the other mandated a standardized procedure requiring completion of legal documents. This study examines the impact of these two different approaches to writing of DNR orders for adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients on utilization and resulting length of stay. The study used three data bases. One is from a larger study designed to update the Mortality Probability Model (MPM), a measure of severity of illness for ICU patients. This data base includes consecutive admissions to the adult ICUs of four hospitals in the northeastern United States. The second is a similar data base from the European-North American Study of Severity Systems (ENAS), and it includes 20 hospitals. The third data base, a 1991 national survey of ICUs by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM), lists characteristics of patients in ICUs in the United States on a specific day. Logistic regression was used to analyze the first two data bases; the percentage of patients in New York with DNR orders was calculated for each of the three data bases and compared with patients in neighboring states. Length of ICU and hospital stay was measured in the first two data sets. In the MPM data, 14.4% of medical patients in New York had a DNR order written at the time of ICU discharge, compared with 198% of medical patients in Massachusetts; and 4.3% of New York surgical patients had a DNR order written at the time of ICU discharge, compared with 8.3% of surgical patients in Massachusetts. In the ENAS data, 7.4% of New York nonoperative patients has a DNR order in place within 24 hours, compared with 8.4% of such patients in the other states; and 1.0% of New York operative patients had DNR orders, compared with 3–5% of operative patients from other states. Logistic regression revealed that a New York patient was less likely to have a DNR order written than a patient located in one of the other states studied. Data from the SCCM survey demonstrated that the New York percentage of patients with “no CPR” orders was 5.50%, compared with a percentage of 6.87% in other states. With few exceptions, these differences between New York and surrounding states did not have an impact on hospital length of stay. During the period studied following implementation of New York's DNR Law, utilization of DNR orders in New York State was significantly lower than neighboring states. This decreased utilization, however, did not effect hospital utilization as measured through length of stay and ICU admissions.

Educators tend to be familiar with an educational achievement gap between black and Hispanic students on one hand and white students on the other, a gap that seems to be tied up with relative rates of poverty. But there is also a fairly startling — and growing — achievement gap between white students and Asian-American students, and it can’t be chalked up to family income or education.

The promise of massive coverage of large geographical areas of the world by satellite transmissions has excited politicians for over a decade. It has not excited the imaginations of managers of educational systems and administrators. It is perhaps a case of, on the one hand, the dreamer, and on the other, the dream which could turn into the nightmare of reality. The developing countries seek ways to short circuit the educational methodologies of the present. The pressing needs of rapidly developing societies demand action and the need for governments to respond and communicate to the under-privileged has been identified as central to development. The state of satellite technology is evident for all to see and hear. The adoption of this technology and the harnessing of its potential has yet to be fully realized. A massive management programme of earth-bound resources will be necessary, and this paper endeavours to provide a framework for discussion.

Abstract Healthier people contribute more to the development of the economy. Besides, in a better economy, people have a better quality and healthier life. At this stage, one has to ask which one precedes the other: health or wealth? To find the answer, this study aims to investigate the causality relationship between health and inclusive wealth in the European countries for the period of 1990–2015. The causality between health and inclusive wealth scores, which are estimated by cluster and discriminant analyses, is investigated by the panel causality test. The research results indicate bidirectional causality between health and inclusive wealth. A one-way causality is detected in 11 cases as being from inclusive wealth to health and in 8 the other way. Furthermore, a two-way causality is found in 2 countries. Among the results, it is noteworthy that 91% of the countries with causality from inclusive wealth to health are among the healthy countries.

Neighbouring Rights

CONCEPT OF A DATABASE IN BASIS OF COPYRIGHT AND NEIGHBOURING RIGHTS ACT AND DATABASE PROTECTIONSummary Collecting and processing of different kinds of data is commonly practiced nowadays. The novelty under the polish law is an introduction of the legal protection of such data bases. This protection is provided in two particular regulations: the act on copyrights and neighbouring rights of 4th February 1994 and the act on the protection of the database of 27thJuly 2001.The database is defined as any kind of collections, lists of information, materials or any other elements systemized according to specified criterion. Its essence consists in collecting and confronting given data using the settled method but not in the materials collected in such kind of evidence. Any database consists of various information thus it is treated as a collection of materials. That is of no importance if the collected elements are subject to the legal protection therefore it seems that such collection may contain any data not only these protected under the copyrights and it does not matter if they are protected under the law or no or if they are confidential or easy available.Each of the regulations mentioned above provides the different system of protection. The act on copyrights regards the external aspects of a collection (the creativity must consist in a selection, systématisation or confrontation of the information) and protects only the creative elements of the collection. Thus with regard to databases (constituting protected good within the meaning of the copyrights law) it must be noticed that they will be protected only within the scope of their creativity that could be however expressed in many aspects.The other regulation gives the possibility of protecting the contents of the database (the internal aspect of the database). Applicability of one of these regulations excludes applicability of the other as the article 1 of the law on the protection of the database states that the object of the legal protection under this law is a database which does not constitute protected good within the meaning of the law on copyrights. However such database has to comply with the requirement of a substantial investment. Such substantial investment has to be undertaken in order to prepare, verify or present the contents and it may consist in the quality as well as the quantity of the investment while the method of the collection of the data is unrestricted. Thus there is no possibility of the cumulative protection of the database. However it was constituted the new and genuine right allowing collection of the data and its subsequent processing as a whole or in part, according to both the quality as well as the quantity. Such right is of the exclusive and transferable nature.
