The present research study was conducted in two public sector universities in Islamabad, Pakistan to explore the relationship between womens education and empowerment. In this research we have looked at the five major dimensions of the womens empowerment in conjunction with education i.e. (1) freedom of movement, (2) economic activism, familial and social affairs (3) freedom from domination and support by the family, (4) decision-making in daily life, and (5) political participation and community engagement. The data was collected from 30 female respondents (15 university teachers and 15 recently passed-out university graduates). The selection of the respondents was made through purposive sampling but with a special inclusion criterion. Based on the research findings, we can suggest that higher levels of education could positively be associated with the higher levels of womens empowerment.

Developing talent requires consideration of social networks that can facilitate or inhibit progression. Of fundamental influence in this regard is the family, with recent investigation extending its focus from parents to the role of siblings. As such, the purpose of this Conceptual Analysis article is to, firstly, review the characteristics of the sibling relationship that may support or inhibit talent development. Secondly, the analysis then provides empirically derived practical examples to emphasize the holistic and complex role that siblings can play in talent development. Thirdly, strategies are proposed to support practitioners identify specific sibling characteristics, alongside recommendations for how the relationship can be utilized within both the formal and informal environments by coaches and psychologists. Finally, and crucially, important implications of these characteristics are considered to support effective coach and sport psychologist decision making.

Family is one entity that has complex variables underplaying the consumption decisions, and marketers must understand how couples behave in concert to resolve conflict across major decisions. In this study, the family aspects are investigated to shed more light on spouse attitude towards family decision-making for selection of car and school/college for their ward and assess the impact of attitudinal factor on decision satisfaction. The drop-off/pick-up method was used to collect the data from Northern India. The result reveals that spousal attitude is formed by marital power, assertiveness, subtle manipulation, love, bargaining and being submissive. Results of multiple regression analysis show that subtle manipulation is most and marital power has a negative impact on spouses’ decision satisfaction. Thus, when targeting a family for a significant trades assay, the salesperson should focus on both husband and wife and stimulate a conversation between them to appeal to their conjoint kinship.

This chapter investigates the main concepts and activities of information in strategic decision-making systems. Since information became the global economy value source for organizations, information assumes a key role in contributing to the development of the performance of organizations through the selection of relevant information for businesses. The relationship of the strategic management of information with business activities contributes to the process of strategic decision making for more effective and efficient decisions. The understanding of the importance of information as a strategic resource in the management of organizations is becoming more important to strategists than the formulation of strategy models of industrial society. In the twenty-first century, no manager will be able to set and implement the strategy successfully without a basic understanding of information for strategic decision making.

The Relationship

Indian society is highly stratified and hierarchical. Caste, class, and gender all contribute to an individual’s status. A large body of literature explores the importance of each of these. This chapter examines the relationship between caste and gender inequality in three states in India. When households are grouped using conventional, government-defined categories of caste, we find patterns that are consistent with existing literature: lower-caste women are more likely to participate in the labour market, have greater decision making autonomy within their households, and experience greater freedom of movement. When households are grouped by the narrower sub-caste categories of jati, where caste is lived and experienced, we find the relationships are far more varied and nuanced. These results suggest that focusing on broad caste categories such as ‘scheduled castes’ and ‘scheduled tribes’ can be misleading for understanding the relationship between caste and gender.

The appearance of the television supposed a revolution in the form of spending the free time, however nowadays to is far from its original interest and aims. At this time its seduction power determines many of the actions that all we develop in our daily life. Far from to be worried about the quality of the products that they are offering us, we find ourselves pending of what is offered and not of how is offered. These circumstances are reflected, mainly, in the relationships that we establish between the members of our groups of equal. The family is one of them and perhaps it is the most affected by lack of quality in the television. From here we want to make an attention call about the relationship between the television, his quality and the familiar relationships. La aparición de la televisión supuso una revolución en la forma de pasar el tiempo libre y de ocio de los individuos, sin embargo lejos quedan ya los intereses con los que este medio nació. En estos momentos su poder de seducción determina muchas de las acciones que todos desarrollamos en nuestra vida diaria. Lejos de preocuparnos por la calidad de los productos que se nos ofertan, nos encontramos pendientes de qué se nos ofrece y no de cómo se nos ofrece. Estas circunstancias se reflejan, principalmente, en las relaciones que establecemos entre los miembros de nuestros grupos de iguales. La familia es uno de ellos y quizás sea el más afectado por la falta de calidad en la televisión. Desde aquí queremos hacer una llamada de atención sobre la relación entre la televisión, su calidad y las relaciones familiares.

Currently, companies are required to improve supply chain performance. One of the main problems in the supply chain is the proper supplier selection. Supplier selection has an essential role in improving supply chain management performance. Supplier selection requires the proper criteria. However, the relationship between criteria is rarely considered in the selection of suppliers in the textile industry. This study tries to propose integrating the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP) for supplier selection in the textile industry. Both methods are multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) tools DEMATEL is used to assess the relationship between criteria. Furthermore, ANP is used to evaluate and weigh the importance of criteria and suppliers. A case study was carried out in a textile company located in Indonesia. The results show that this procedure can identify the relationship and effect of each criterion. The results show that the product price criteria are the criteria that have the most significant weight. The criteria for conformity to specifications and consistency of quality are in second and third place. Finally, suppliers are selected based on weight assessment on each criterion by ANP.

RESUMENLa creación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior trae consigo una serie de cambios en la docencia universitaria, y por tanto en la actuación del profesorado. En este trabajo nos hemos planteado conocer la adecuación y relevancia de distintos perfiles docentes de cara a afrontar la docencia en el marco del EEES, e identificar las competencias más relevantes y útiles para el desempeño del profesorado universitario en este nuevo marco de referencia. Hemos partido de 4 perfiles y 87 competencias identificados en una fase previa de nuestra investigación. Un total de 61 profesores expertos, pertenecientes a cinco universidades españolas, han expresado sus valoraciones a través de un cuestionario diseñado para tal fin. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos, los perfiles que hemos denominado “profesor multifunción”, “especialista en docencia” y “docente investigador” son los más valorados. Las competencias docentes más valoradas son las que se encuadran en la planificación de la docencia, desarrollo de la docencia y la evaluación, dándose menos importancia a las relacionadas con la tutoría del alumnado, la gestión y la propia formación continua.ABSTRACTGetting started the European Higher Education Area (EHEA); it brings about the need to implement some changes in university teachers teaching procedures. This paper presents some findings of a research study aimed firstly to stimate the suitability and importance for teaching in the EHEA of some teacher’s profiles; secondly we looked for the identification of core teaching competencies in that mentioned education context. In a previous research stage, 4 teachers’ profiles and 87 main teaching competencies have been identified; now we present the assessment of 61 senior professors (‘teaching experts’ – members of 5 spanish universities) about that profiles and competencies then identified; their opinions have been obtained through an on-line questionnaire. Research findings show three more valued teachers profiles, laveled as “multifunction teacher”, “teaching expert” and “research teacher”. Among the more valueted teaching competencies we find the competerncies for planning, implement and evaluate students learning; tutoring studentes and menagement competencies, as well as in-service teachers trainingcompetencies have not got such a high assessment scores.

This study explored the relationship between clinicians’ moral distress and family satisfaction with care in five intensive care units in Italy. A total of 122 clinicians (45 physicians and 77 nurses) and 59 family members completed the Italian Moral Distress Scale-Revised and the Family Satisfaction in the ICU questionnaire, respectively. Clinicians’ moral distress inversely correlated with family satisfaction related to the inclusion in the decision-making process. Specifically, physicians’ moral distress inversely correlated with satisfaction regarding the respect shown toward the patient. Nurses’ moral distress inversely correlated with satisfaction regarding breathlessness and agitation management, provision of emotional support, understanding of information, and inclusion in the decision-making process.
