The experiment was conducted to the comparative study of chemically and biologically raised cracker biscuit. There were two different formulas; Formula -A was biologically raised (using dry yeast) and Formula –B was chemically raised (using sodium bicarbonate, no yeast) crackers. For analyzing the quality of products, samples were collected from different points of the plant and conducted physical, chemical and organoleptic test. From physical test report it is found that the appearance, texture, color and flavor are better for formulation – A than the formulation – B. According to chemical test report it are found that oven moisture, Packing moisture, Fat and Ash were 1.9%, 2.8%,24.0% and 0.93% respectively of formulation – A and 2.0%, 3.1%, 24.2% and 0.92% respectively for formulation – B. From the panel test report 66.66% group voted the formula –A and 33.33% group voted the formula – B by the team -1 and secondly we form teamed – 2 by rearranging the team members of one and two. According to team-2 83.33% group voted the formula –A and 16.66% group voted the formula – B. All the test reports supported that biologically raised crackers biscuits was better than the chemically raised crackers biscuits.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i2.22103 J. Environ.

Citizens who voted for a party that won the election are more satisfied with democracy than those who did not. This winner–loser gap has recently been found to vary with the quality of electoral democracy: the higher the quality of democracy, the smaller the gap. However, we do not know what drives this relationship. Is it driven by losers, winners, or both? And Why? Linking our work to the literature on motivated reasoning and macro salience and benefiting from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems project—covering 163 elections in 51 countries between 1996 and 2018, our results show that the narrower winner–loser gap in well-established electoral democracies is not only a result of losers being more satisfied with democracy, but also of winners being less satisfied with their victory. Our findings carry important implications since a narrow winner–loser gap appears as a key feature of healthy democratic systems.

This paper attempts to explain why China performed better than India in reducing poverty. As two of the most populous countries in the world, China and India have both experienced fast economic growth and high inequality in the past four decades. Conversely, China adopted a more export-oriented development strategy, resulting in faster industrialization or urbanization and deeper globalization, than India. Consequently, to conduct the comparative study, we first decompose poverty changes into a growth and an inequality components, assessing the relative importance of growth versus distributional changes on poverty in China and India. Then, Chinese data are used to estimate the impacts of industrialization, urbanization and globalization on poverty reduction in rural China. The major conclusion of this comparative study is that developing countries must prioritize employment generation in secondary and tertiary industries through industrialization and globalization in order to absorb surplus agricultural labor, helping reduce poverty in the rural areas.

This work comprised of the comparative study of arsenic (As) uptake efficiency by Pteris vittata and Pityrogramma calomelanos grown in (i) As amended soils (0–600 ppm) and (ii) As tainted water (40 ppb) using a new compact continuous flow phytofiltration system in a tropical greenhouse. The As hyperaccumulation efficiency was dependent on the growth medium for the two fern species. The highest level of As detected in the fronds of P. vittata was 19,300 ± 190 ppm (dry weight basis) and 11,600 ± 230 ppm for Pityrogramma calomelanos, after growing for 78 days in soils amended with As. In the compact continuous flow As phytofiltration system experiments, Pityrogramma calomelanos was found to perform better than P. vittata in phytofiltrating As contaminated water under waterlogged conditions. During the 167 h of phytofiltration experiment, the removal efficiency was approximately 99% and 67% for Pityrogramma calomelanos and P. vittata systems respectively, based on an initial 40 ppb As. Pityrogramma calomelanos also required a shorter acclimatization time than P. vittata under waterlogged conditions.

The addition of maltodextrin is known to coat flavor components, increase volume, accelerate the drying process, prevent heat damage and increase solubility and characteristic quality of sensory. The general purpose of the research is to know the effect of variation of maltodextrin addition to physical characteristics (white degree, solubility and water absorption), chemistry (water content, ash content, fat content, protein and carbohydrate) and sensory milk quality of instant soybean sprouts based on variation of maltodextrin addition. The method of this research is monofactorial experiment, which consists of 5 treatment of maltodextrin concentration, 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Each treatment was repeated 5 times, so that 25 experimental units were obtained. Physical and chemical test results were analyzed using Anova method followed by Duncan's advanced test while the sensory quality test data were analyzed using Friedman followed by Wilcoxon's advanced test. The results showed that there was a significant effect of the addition of maltodextrin concentration to physical test (white degree, solubility and water absorption) and water content, crude fiber, protein and carbohydrate but no significant effect on ash and fat content. Instant soybean sprouts with a 15-20% maltodextrin variation yield the best physical, chemical and sensory quality.

This study was conducted to examine the comparison the quality of spermatozoa in four genetic groups of poultry (Pelung chicken, Nunukan chicken, Sentul chicken, and Bangkok chicken). The parameters of this study were the concentration of spermatozoa, motility, viability, semen volume, color, and consistency. The study was designed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four local chicken nations and four replications. The results showed that the volume of Nunukan chicken semen was 0.32±0.01 mL/ejaculation, Bangkok chicken was 0.31±0.01 mL/ejaculate, Sentul chicken was 0.15±0.02 mL/ejaculate and Pelung chicken was 0.23±0.02 mL/ejaculation. the color of fresh semen is white (Pelung chicken, Nunukan chicken and Sentul chicken) except chicken Bangkok has the color of cream semen. Pelung chicken has a concentration of spermatozoa 5,043.33±51 million/mL, Nunukan chicken 3,250.22 ±45 million/mL, Sentul chicken 3,002.87±67 million/mL, and Bangkok chicken 3,002.87 ± 67 million/mL. Motility of Pelung chicken 84.,69 ± 1.12%, Bangkok chicken 82.35±1.85%, Nunukan chicken 77.74±1.57% and Sentul chicken 77.64±1.65%. Viability spermatozoa of Sentul chicken was 90.35 ± 1.21%, Bangkok chicken was 90.64 ± 1.16%, Pelung chicken was 89.17 ± 1.23% and Nunukan chicken was 86.29 ± 1.15%. It can be concluded that the motility spermatozoa of Pelung chicken and Bangkok chicken is better than the spermatozoa motility of Nunukan chicken and Sentul chicken. The viability of Sentul chicken and Bangkok chicken was higher compared to the viability semen of chicken Pelung and chicken Nunukan.

Business Process Re-engineering / Re-design (BPR) was introduced as the radical redesign of core business processes of organizations to enable them achieve dramatic improvement in service, performance, productivity and quality of products / services. It was touted in the 1990s as the newest business strategy to make management of businesses effective, after less was derived from TQM. Unfortunately, the application of the BPR strategy on businesses, example in the automobile industry, was only marginal but better than TQM. BPR was designed to re-organize organizational processes, and then make extensive use of Information Technology (IT) for running organizations. However, most of the localized organizations that adopted the BPR strategy for use, complained bitterly about the application. This was due to the fact that the managerial and human-centred strategies of team-working was not effectively achieved. However, for organizations that go global, it is a different ball game all together, as there are string of successes associated with them. Localized organizations should therefore, create the right enablement for the strategy to work, as some MNCs have been able to use BPR to achieve competitive advantage.

AbstractUniformity of lattice misfit strain was quantitatively evaluated in heteroepitaxial (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films which were deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 substrates. Due to lattice misfit strain, the (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films had a 3% longer c-axis than the inherent bulk of (Ba0.75Sr0.25)TiO3. As analyzed by Hall's theory, the uniformity of the strain was 0.3% of the c-axis (0.413 nm) and 9% of the elongation of the c-axis (0.015 nm). It was suggested by the comparative study of two specimens that there is a strong correlation between the quality of the ferroelectric hysteresis loop and the uniformity of the misfit strain in heteroepitaxial (Ba,Sr)TiO3 films.

Abstract The present study examines Thucydides’ assessments of Pericles (2.65) and Alcibiades (6.15) drawing on advances from Leadership Studies. Moving away from conceptions of leadership as a quality of individuals, modern leadership theory views leadership as a relational process between leaders and followers. Thucydides’ assessments of Pericles and Alcibiades examine not only their effectiveness (i.e., their success or failure in conducting the war), but more importantly, the impact of their personal ethics on their relationship with followers. For Thucydides, both leaders displayed administrative competence, but their diverse adherence to ethical principles had a grave impact on their interaction with followers and consequently on their position as leaders. The comparative study of the two passages highlights how Thucydides’ understanding of leadership as a relational process anticipates an important strand of modern leadership theory according to which both effectiveness and ethics are inextricably intertwined in the concept of good leadership.

Most port cities have a long history of investment in the waterfront, adapting these spaces to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants and increase the tourist interest of the city, in a 50-year process of waterfront regeneration that started in the late 1960s. Even though one of the drivers of development in today’s port cities continues to be the transfer of knowledge and experiences between different cases, not all these cities have achieved their goals, nor have all done so in a sustainable way. This article exposes a new methodology, motivated by the need to carry out a comparative study of good practices of port–city integration for twelve specific cases. To enable a comparison of intangible realities such as port–city integration, it is mandatory to have a common benchmark to quantify features of cities from different cases. The 3DPortCityMeasure methodology is intended to provide a framework for analysing port-city integration, with results that supply an immediate understanding of each case. This tool enables direct comparative evaluation and provides support for land use planning and urban design approaches. The results show that the proposed approach for measuring intangible factors in the field of the port–city relationship is a very useful tool, novel in this discipline, and fully applicable to other cases and other urban issues.
