Geographies Of Knowledge

In a postindustrial economic world, information economies are key components in local, regional and national development. These are service economies, built on the production, consumption and dissemination of information, including education, health care, outsourcing, tourism, sustainability and related human welfare services. We explore the geography/knowledge intersections in Poland’s voivodeships and poviats by using the volumes of information or hyperlinks about selected information economies. Google hyperlinks are electronic knowledge data that can be mapped to highlight the areas of most and least information about certain subject categories. While some mapping results are expected, such as Warsaw and Krakow, being prominent, in other regions there are unexpected gaps within eastern, northern and southern Poland, including some places near major metropolitan centers. There is a significant difference between the cities with poviat rights, which stand out in the number of information on items comparing to the poviats that surround them. The majority of poviats in Mazowieckie voivodeship are surprisingly recognized as core areas on the map of knowledge, nevertheless they are considered undeveloped from the economic point of view.

Abstract The economic crisis, demography, technology, globalization etc. are all factors which will influence the organizational structures and business strategies. A new business strategy will require, among others, that passive Human Resources Management (HRM) change into an active one with a decisive influence upon business. The vision of an active HRM requires that HR information (IT) dedicated systems assist human resources managers in their decision-making. The existing IT systems predominantly manage the salary calculations and, possibly, the employee's professional development, two of the tasks that a human resources manager has to pursue. However, tasks such as assisting, consulting and engaging the human resources in the organization are equally important. IT systems must also develop into these directions. The present paper proposes a solution to measure the performance of human resources by creating an employee performance indicator (EPI). The paper first describes the economic phenomenon involved in the HR performance process, then the mathematical model is formulated, the algorithm is implemented, the solution of the model is analysed from a technical and economic point of view, and finally the decision is made. We use the weighted arithmetic mean to compute the EPI indicator and the correlation formula to establish the degree of relevance between the EPI indicator and the variables involved in the model. An implementation in R is given.

Tea Extract

The present study was aimed at investigating the effect of inclusion of green tea leaf (GTE) extract (at 3 and 6% levels) in the icing medium employed during the chilled storage (2±1°C) of Japanese threadfin bream Nemipterus japonicus.Fish stored in normal ice (NI)was treated as control. Changes in microbiological, biochemical and sensory quality characteristics were monitored during the period of storage. Multivariate comparison was performed using principal component analysis (PCA) for the mean sensory, microbiological and chemical attributes. Samples stored in normal ice (NI) had only 8 days shelf life whereas both 3% GTE and 6% GTE stored samples had a shelf life of 16 days. From an economic point of view 3% GTE can be adopted for preservation of fish and there was no significant difference in the parameters between 3 and 6% GTE levels. Visualisation by PC plots clearly separated the investigated samples according to storage conditions, thus indicating the importance of GTEI treatment. The present study indicated that the application of GTE in ice (GTEI) is a promising technique to increase the shelf life of N.japonicus in chilled condition and hence the technique can be commercially exploited.

Teaching Ability

Teachers have an important role in making human resources useful for national development. The teacher uses many teaching methods and methods for classroom activities. Presently more emphasis is being laid on providing qualitative education. Creative aptitude in teaching nurtures students' creativity. By which they can be used to ensure available physical and human resources and ensure satisfactory results. The Yashpal Committee (1992), laid the main emphasis on the development of independent thinking and self-learning capacity of the students in the teacher training program. Teaching skills competence of teachers is an important factor in setting up the best level educational institutions. Due to which the students are attracted and give priority to such institutions. The reason behind which is to work with creative aptitude in the teaching style of the teachers teaching them. RTE, Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) and B.Ed in education to develop the professional competence of the students. Adequate opportunities for teaching training have been accommodated for the quality of teacher education, etc. for two years of one year course of training.In the research paper presented, two-year new B.Ed. The creative attitude and teaching competence of the students of the course has been studied. In descriptive research, 132 students were taught in fifteen internship schools teaching practice in the arts and science class by simple random sampling method. Compilation of data BK Passy and Dr. M / s. Lalita's standardized general teaching competence measure and Dr. RP Shukla's creative teaching aptitude measuring tools were used in the compilation of data. Statistical methods such as percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-value and Pearson correlation coefficient were used in statistical analysis of the data obtained by the research survey. It has been revealed by the conclusion that- 1.) Similarity was found in teaching ability of art and science students but significant difference in mean level of creative teaching aptitude. 2.) There is a positive correlation between the teaching competence and creative aptitude of art class students and 3.) There is a positive correlation between teaching ability and creative aptitude of science class students. राष्ट्रीय विकास के लिए मानवीय संसाधन को उपयोगी बनाने में अध्यापकों की अहम् भूमिका है। कक्षागत् क्रियाकलापों के लिये अध्यापक अनेक शिक्षण युक्ति एवं विधियाँ प्रयोग करता है। वर्तमान में गुणात्मक शिक्षा उपलब्ध कराने पर अधिक बल दिया जा रहा है। शिक्षण में सृजनात्मक अभिवृत्ति छात्रों की रचनात्मकता को पोषित करती है। जिससे वे उपलब्ध भौतिक एवं मानवीय संसाधनों का समुचित प्रयोग करके संतोषजनक परिणामों को सुनिश्चित किया जा सकता है। यशपाल समिति (1992), ने शिक्षक प्रशिक्षण कार्यक्रम में छात्राध्यापकों के स्वतंत्र चिंतन व स्व-अधिगम क्षमता के विकास पर मुख्य जोर दिया। उत्तम स्तर के शिक्षण संस्थानों को स्थापित करने में अध्यापकों की शिक्षण कौशल सक्षमता एक महत्वपूर्ण कारक है। जिससे आकृष्ट होकर छात्र ऐसे संस्थानों में प्रवेश को प्राथमिकता देते है। जिसके पीछे उनमें पढ़ाने वाले शिक्षकों की अध्यापन शैली में रचनात्मक अभिवृत्ति से कार्य करना है। छात्राध्यापकों की पेशेवर सक्षमता को विकसित करने के लिए शिक्षा में आर.टी.ई., अध्यापक पात्रता परीक्षा (टी.ई.टी.) एवं बी.एड. प्रशिक्षण के एक वर्षीय पाठ्यक्रम को दो वर्ष करना आदि अध्यापक शिक्षा की गुणवत्ता हेतु शिक्षण प्रशिक्षण के पर्याप्त अवसरों को स्थान दिया गया है। प्रस्तुत शोध पत्र में द्विवर्षीय नवीन बी.एड. पाठ्यक्रम के छात्राध्यापकों की शिक्षण के प्रति सृजनात्मक मनोवृत्ति एवं शिक्षण सक्षमता का अध्ययन किया गया है। वर्णानात्मक शोध में पन्द्रह प्रशिक्षुता (इंटर्नशिप) विद्यालयों में शिक्षण अभ्यास करने वाले 132 छात्राध्यापकों का चयन साधारण यादृच्छिक प्रतिचयन विधि द्वारा कला एवं विज्ञान वर्ग द्वारा किया गया। आँकड़ों का संकलन डाॅ. बी.के. पाॅसी एवं डाॅ. एम.एस. ललिता की मानकीकृ्रत सामान्य शिक्षण सक्षमता मापनी तथा डाॅ. आर.पी. शुक्ला के सृजनात्मक शिक्षण अभिवृत्ति मापनी उपकरणों का प्रयोग आॅकडों के संकलन में किया गया। शोध सर्वेक्षण द्वारा प्राप्त आंकड़ों का साख्यिकीय विश्लेषण में प्रतिशत, मध्यमान, प्रमाणिक विचलन, टी-मान एवं पियर्सन सहसम्बन्ध गुणांक आदि सांख्यिकी विधियों का प्रयोग किया गया। जिससे प्राप्त निष्कर्ष द्वारा विदित हुआ है कि- 1.) कला एवं विज्ञान छात्राध्यापकों की शिक्षण सक्षमता में समानता लेकिन सृजनात्मक शिक्षण अभिवृत्ति के मध्यमान स्तर में सार्थक अंतर पाया गया। 2.) कला वर्ग के छात्राध्यापकों की शिक्षण सक्षमता एवं सृजनात्मक अभिवृत्ति के मध्य सकारात्मक अनुबन्ध है तथा 3.) विज्ञान वर्ग के छात्राध्यपकों की शिक्षण सक्षमता एवं सृजनात्मक अभिवृत्ति में धनात्मक सहसम्बन्ध है।

The status accorded to adult education among universities-based educators and researchers appears to be very low. This may be due to scanty knowledge about the discipline and wrong perception held by the bureaucrats, policy makers and administrators within and outside the university system. The Hamburg Declaration in 1997 underscores the importance of adult education when it describes it as a key to the twenty-first century. Realising the fact that adult education is needed in this 21st century, it follows that provision of higher degree programme should be well staffed and properly managed in order to produce learners that will contribute meaningfully to the development of the society. Therefore, this study entitled: “staffing and managing human resources of higher degree programme of adult education in universities in Nigeria” is embarked upon. The aim of the study is to improve human and institutional capacity for required manpower in adult education for national development. The objectives of the study include: to identify and discuss framework for staffing higher degree programme in adult education in Nigerian universities; to find out how human resources for production of higher degrees students are sourced and managed; to assess framework for ensuring inclusiveness in managing higher degree adult education programme in universities; to explore strategies that can be employed to make adult education popular and acceptable among educators and researchers in universities; to explore motivational factors for students' enrollment in adult education higher degree programme; and to examine learning delivery techniques of lecturers/faculty in higher degree programme of adult education. The work employed research design of the survey type. Seven federal and state universities offering adult education at higher degree level were sampled. Statistical instruments were employed to analyse the data collected. All the results were decided at point 05 level of confidence with appropriate degree of freedom. The study revealed that 86.3% of the respondents opined that lack of understanding of the concept of adult education prevented people from enrolling into the course in the university, while 13.7% felt otherwise. Majority of the respondents (89.8%) held that Universities in Nigeria do not discriminate against any sex (male or female) when admitting students for any education programme including adult education, while 10.2% did not. There is significant difference in the perception of staff and students on the framework that can be used for staffing higher degree programme in adult education in Nigerian universities (X2=2.882, df=3, p > .05). There was no significant difference in the perception of staff and students on how human resources are sourced and managed for production of higher degree students in adult education programme (X2=3.741, df=3, p > .05). There was a significant difference in the perception of staff and students on learning delivery techniques of lecturers/faculty in higher degree programme of adult education (X2=9.336, df=3, p < .05). It is recommended that efforts should be made by the stakeholders to popularise the discipline of adult education with a view to making people to understand its meaning and usefulness to the growth of the society. Adequate budgetary allocation should be made by the owner universities to adult education so as to attract qualified staff, regular payment of salaries and comprehensive welfare programme.

ABSTRACT The distributions of 13 variables based on 10 laboratory tests measuring thyroid function were studied in euthyroid controls and in patients with toxic diffuse or toxic multinodular goitre. Density functions were fitted to the empirical data and the goodness of fit was evaluated by the use of the χ2-test. In a few instances there was a significant difference but the material available was in some respects too small to allow a very accurate estimation. The normal limits for each variable was defined by the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles. It appears that in some instances these limits are too rigorous from the practical point of view. It is emphasized that the crossing point of the functions for euthyroid controls and hyperthyroid patients may be a better limit to use. In a preliminary analysis of the diagnostic efficiency the variables of total or free hormone concentration in the blood proved clearily superior to all other variables.

To implement any successful policy, research about the subject-matter is essential. Lack of knowledge would result in failure and, from an economic point of view, it would lead to a waste of scarce resources. The book under review is essentially a manual which highlights the use of research for development. The book is divided into two parts. Part One informs the reader about concepts and some theory, and Part Two deals with the issue of undertaking research for development. Both parts have 11 chapters each. Chapter 1 asks the basic question: Is research important in development work? The answer is that it is. Research has many dimensions: from the basic asking of questions to the more sophisticated broad-based analysis of policy issues. The chapter, in short, stresses the usefulness of research which development workers ignore at their own peril.
