This paper aims to simulate the stages of the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) in Goa, India, based on the number of tourist arrivals and tests whether the stages correspond with the stages of TALC as predicted in the theory. The graphs are plotted for total, foreign, and domestic tourists from 1962-2018. A compliance assessment of the indicators with the TALC stages is also done to ascertain the extent of development. The leading indicators of the exploration, stagnation, and decline stages are identified. The lagging indicator shows sluggish tourism planning initiatives. It is observed that the TALC differs for domestic and foreign tourists' arrivals. The study provides an important historical perspective on the pattern of growth of tourism in Goa. The pattern can further be employed as a basis to guide the process of strategy formulation.

This paper discusses about the spiritual culture in Kesultanan Banjar seeing from the historical perspective and its relevancy with the life today. The spiritual culture in banjar society can be seen from life cycle since birthday till die. Many of them were modified and fitted with the Islamic teaching. So that, the Islamic dimension is more explicit that the culture one. Kesultanan in varies cultural events ought to make the understanding to the society that Kesultanan Banjar is very concern to the spiritual culture and give the meaning for a material culture developing in many aspect of life. Besides, in any opportunity it may put the strength spiritual culture programm in order to be implemented in many sides of development.

Each of the articles in this special section makes a distinctive contribution to the long-standing controversy over the managerial value of the product life cycle concept. This overview is designed to put these articles into a broader perspective by analyzing the major issues of identification, forecasting, and strategy formulation encountered in any meaningful application of the product life cycle.

Strategy formulation is an old practice that cuts through business and politics.  The earlier human species have been regarded as the proprietors of strategy formulation as a part of existence. Therefore, the paper aims to evaluate strategy as a management discipline. In doing so, a qualitative research approach will be employed to analyze a variety of concepts in strategic management. The historical perspective of strategy formulation, as well as the importance of strategy in the modern-day business context, is discussed. Moreover, the emergence of strategy, strategic management, and planning in the business perspectives will be analyzed. Ultimately, this paper aims to demonstrate the importance of strategic management as a skill that would guide job-seeking graduates to work in organizations best suited for them.

Tim Conley of University of Chicago and University of Western Ontario reviews “Macroeconomic Patterns and Stories” by Edward E. Leamer, Orn B. Bodvarsson, Hendrik Van den Berg,. The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins “Examines important features of the macroeconomy, and considers how people can learn from numbers by seeking patterns and telling stories. Discusses how we are pattern-seeking, story-telling animals; gross domestic product; the components of gross domestic product; employment; inflation and interest rates; extrapolative forecasting; unwanted idleness--recessions and recoveries; recession comparison charts; who struggles and who does well in recessions; idleness stories; cycle stories; clues--temporal ordering of components of gross domestic product; episoding forecasting with components of the Conference Board’s Index of Leading Indicators; the art of drawing causal inferences from nonexperimental data; in search of recession causes; the life cycle of U.S. expansions--sputters and spurts; savings and investment; government; the external deficit and the value of the dollar; and the ups and downs of real estate values. Leamer is Director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast and holds the Chauncey J. Medberry Chair in Management at the Anderson School of Management, University of California, Los Angeles. Index.”

INTRODUCTION: Schistosomiasis has been described as “one of the most devastating diseases of mankind, second only to malaria in its deleterious effects on the social and economic development of populations in many warm areas of the world.” The disease is worldwide and is probably spreading faster and becoming more intense than the overall research efforts designed to provide the basis for countering it. Moreover, there are indications that the development of water resources and the demands for increasing cultivation and food in developing countries may prevent adequate control of the disease and thus the number of infections are increasing.Our knowledge of the basic biology of the parasites causing the disease is far from adequate. Such knowledge is essential if we are to develop a rational approach to the effective control of human schistosomiasis. The miracidium is the first infective stage in the complex life cycle of schistosomes. The future of the entire life cycle depends on the capacity and ability of this organism to locate and enter a suitable snail host for further development, Little is known about the nervous system of the miracidium of Schistosoma mansoni and of other trematodes. Studies indicate that miracidia contain a well developed and complex nervous system that may aid the larvae in locating and entering a susceptible snail host (Wilson, 1970; Brooker, 1972; Chernin, 1974; Pan, 1980; Mehlhorn, 1988; and Jones, 1987-1988).

The plasma membrane of the Slime Mold, Physarum polycephalum, process unique morphological distinctions at different stages of the life cycle. Investigations of the plasma membrane of P. polycephalum, particularly, the arrangements of the intramembranous particles has provided useful information concerning possible changes occurring in higher organisms. In this report Freeze-fracture-etched techniques were used to investigate 3 hours post-fusion of the macroplasmodia stage of the P. polycephalum plasma membrane.Microplasmodia of Physarum polycephalum (M3C), axenically maintained, were collected in mid-expotential growth phase by centrifugation. Aliquots of microplasmodia were spread in 3 cm circles with a wide mouth pipette onto sterile filter paper which was supported on a wire screen contained in a petri dish. The cells were starved for 2 hrs at 24°C. After starvation, the cells were feed semidefined medium supplemented with hemin and incubated at 24°C. Three hours after incubation, samples were collected randomly from the petri plates, placed in plancettes and frozen with a propane-nitrogen jet freezer.
