<p>This paper discusses the social significance of Mr. Nazeer Khan’s architecture. The discussion revolves around the relationship between Mr. Nazeer Khan’s architecture and Kerala<a href="file:///D:/J%20I%20A%20(Journal%20of%20Islamic%20Architecture)/00%20NEW%20MANUSCRIPT/Indonesia%20Journal%20Malang%20Nazeer%20Khan%20-%20blind.docx#_ftn1">[1]</a> Muslims’ economic transformation, as well as Kerala state’s inter-faith harmony. The study is not about delivering judgments concerning Mr. Nazeer Khan and his architectural exploits from a sheer perspective of architecture as a synthesis of art, science and technology, for such could significantly narrow at once our purpose and focus, and could divert our attention from some vital thrusts of the subject at hand. Rather, the study is about Mr. Nazeer Khan’s architecture and Kerala’s religious and socio-economic molds, and how they correlate with each other, the latter clearly dictating and shaping the former. It is only against this expansive and complex back-drop that Mr. Nazeer Khan’s architecture could be properly observed and appreciated. A restricted and one-sided approach – regardless of what it might be -- would in all likelihood lead to some incomplete, patchy and even unfair opinions and inferences. The paper is divided into six sections: (1) Introduction: why this study? (2) Who is Mr. Nazeer Khan? (3) Kerala Muslims’ economic transformation; (4) Mr. Nazeer Khan’s architecture and Kerala’s inter-faith harmony; (5) Mr. Nazeer Khan’s architecture: diversity in unity; (6) Conclusion. The content of this study is based, mainly, on the author’s lengthy interviews with Mr. Nazeer Khan and many of his clients, as well as on the author’s field visits to a majority of Mr. Nazeer Khan’s completed and on-going projects. The interviews and field visits took place in 2013 and 2014.</p><div><br /><hr size="1" /><div><p><a href="file:///D:/J%20I%20A%20(Journal%20of%20Islamic%20Architecture)/00%20NEW%20MANUSCRIPT/Indonesia%20Journal%20Malang%20Nazeer%20Khan%20-%20blind.docx#_ftnref1">[1]</a> Kerala is a state in the south-west region of India.</p></div></div>

The paper concentrates on the measurement of the total factor productivity of dairy farms in the south-west region of Bangladesh. The study used stochastic frontier approach for analyzing the technical efficiency of the dairy farms. Here, seventy dairy farms are considered as a sample. The data reveals that the number of labor and the quantity of food are statistically significant at a 1 percent level of significance.The data also manifests that numerous farm-specific characteristics, i.e. farm size, farmer’s age, and amount of credit are statistically significant at 1 percent, 10 percent, and 10 percent respectively. The range of technical efficiency for the farms varies from 26 percent (minimum) to 95 percent (maximum) where the mean value is 68 percent for the dairy farms of the south-west region. This implies that an average output of milk production falls 32 percent short of maximum possible level. Hence, there is scope of improvement in this sector. Therefore, to improve the farm productivity government should provide proper training, and medical treatment facilities for the farms so that the animals become healthy. If it is possible to do so then the farm level production frontier will shift upward.

The purpose of this work is to analyze lettuce cultivars different responses to environmental adaptability and rock dust concentrations in agroclimatic conditions in the south-west region of Goi&aacute;s state. The work was conducted in the county of Mineiros, Goi&aacute;s. The experimental area soil&rsquo;s was classified as quartzarenic NEOSOL. In experiment number 1, was used experimental design in random blocks in factorial 5 &times; 2, corresponding to five rock dust concentrations (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha-1), in two lettuce cultivars of Crespa and Americana lettuce. In experiment number 2 was applied experimental design in randomized blocks, which were constituted by 7 lettuce cultivars (Hanson, Simpson S. Preta, Baba de Ver&atilde;o, Maravilha de Inverno, Grandes Lagos, Crespa Palmas, and 4 Esta&ccedil;&atilde;o). The data results were analyzed 45 days after seeds transplant. The results were submitted to variance analysis and Turkey&rsquo;s regression and test at a 5% probability. The 400 kg ha-1 rock dust dose didn&rsquo;t have any effects in lettuce cultivars Crespa and Americana, once that, rock dust nutrients mineralization occurs very slowly, not interfering in the lettuce first cycle. 4 Esta&ccedil;&atilde;o cultivar presented good environmental adaptability to Goi&aacute;s south-west agroclimatic conditions, more specifically in Mineiros, where it is recommended lettuce cultivation in summer-fall.
