Soils affected by tree-throw (arbroturbation) at three sites in Nova Scotia varied in development and microrelief characteristics. Soil horizonation was strongly developed and continuous through the mound-and-pit sequence at one site but was intermittent and irregular at the other two sites. Analytical data, particularly those for oxalate- and pyrophosphate-extractable Fe and Al reflected the morphological variations observed in the pedons. Classification of the arbroturbated soils according to the Canadian system is not a problem though it is necessary to indicate turbation by appending a phase to the soil class name at levels above the series. Mapping areas of such soils involves no change from regular procedures except in the description of the soil units. Hummocky microrelief due to arbroturbation presents some limitations in the use of land. Key words: Physical disturbance, classification, mapping, land use

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Corporate entrepreneurship (CE) is credited for many positive organisational outcomes, including systemic growth and increased revenue. Several terms associated with CE, including strategic renewal, corporate venturing and intrapreneurship are frequently used interchangeably and often confuse scholars, researchers and practitioners. The lack of clarity about the exact meaning of these terms is detrimental to the synergy in the current body of knowledge and the development of models involving these concepts. Objective: The aim of this paper was to describe CE as a unique concept, distinguishable from related concepts. Methodology: Several definitions of CE as well as the related terms were dissected, to identify core elements associated with each of them. The validity of these comprehensive definitions was tested by requesting 68 master’s degree students to classify the definitions. Inter-rater reliabilities were calculated in order to assess the level of agreement in the classification of the constructs. Results: The results indicate that CE is difficult to distinguish from strategic renewal and corporate venturing, but that intrapreneurship seems to be better defined and separate from the other constructs. Conclusion: These results emphasise the conceptual confusion that exists around CE and the need for further clarification of terminology.</p><p><strong>KEY WORDS</strong></p><p>Corporate entrepreneurship, strategic renewal, corporate venturing, intrapreneurship.</p>

Comprehensive planning of towns and townships takes a wider scale in the country. Therefore, there appears an urgent need to revise or review some conceptions of planning methodology that should be accepted after various alternatives consideration. According to our opinion: a) classification of centres of a settlement system (towns and townships) requires self-determination and equal understanding which, from one side, should reflect more precisely the existing diversity of development between the centres and their functions and, from the other side, the rank granted to these centres should meet the EU criteria; b) the functional structure of towns and townships, reflected by diversity in the purpose of their territory use and its indefinite character during the process of residential area modernization which takes place under market conditions, forces to give upa detailed setting of plot purpose and look for a more universal model of land- use purpose specification which could be applicable not only for planning of rural agricultural territories but for urban planning of residential areas as well. Proposals presented in the paper (Tables 1 and 2) respect the systematic conception of settlement network, accepted in Lithuania and in the other EU countries and based on the hierarchy of elements and development dependency allowing application of sustainability and balance principles for the system element development. They are prepared taking into account new urban planning conceptions and reflecting the following factors: changing business and production conditions as well as growing qualitative safety, service and ecological requirements for a residential environment; increasing importance of economic factors and resulting need for a more rational land use and broader urban internal integration when developing public transportation and urban system for a common space use; respect to stable urban structural elements of residential areas (urban framework) as well as to local cultural identity and historically formed compositional peculiarities; advantages of the functional and social diversity and polycentric character of urban structures.

Abstract This paper deals with the new classification of land use changes. We chose Nitra town in Slovakia as a model area. We examined changes of land use for the period 2003-2013. The main result of this work is a table for types of land use changes and a map that shows the location of these changes in Nitra town. Nitra is constantly expanding its area and it is also significantly changing within its borders. Agriculturally used surroundings of the town are being transformed into build-up areas and industrial parks. This transformation causes a loss of agricultural land and vegetation, in general. Agriculture in this region has been gradually declining and disappearing in the past years. On the other side, urbanisation, technicisation and industrialisation are highly supported

Punishments of different categories are recognized by Islam in the holy Qur’an and Sunn’ah. These include punishments of hadd, Punishments of Ta’zir and punishment of Siyasa'h. The objectives of these punishment are different, some are for the welfare, reformation and protection of state and society while others are for the benefits of man. Sometime one particular sort of punishment is fixed and cannot be changed, no matter whatsever the circumastances are, because these are determined by Allah as known by the name hudud i.e the God made punishments and cannot be altered by men. The other kind of punishment is Ta’zir, which is always at the discretion of the Judge and can be changed from time to time. Siyasah is the third category of punishment which is in the interest of the state and is usually fixed by the state. In this article, an analysis of different categories of punishment as recognized by IslÉm, shall be discussed in detail in the light of Sharia’h. Key words: Islam, Punishments, Objectives, Classifications, Hadd

Pattern of morphological variations was studied in seven cultivars of cotton viz. (1) DPL-41, (2) DPL-20, (3) BAC-49, (4) DPL-50, (5) DPL-51, (6) JA/96-B and (7) DPL-90 by metroglyph and index score method (Anderson, 1957). Two most variable characters - plant height at maturity (PHM) and fibre yield per plant (FYP) were selected for X and Y axis, respectively. In metroglyph diagram there appeared two clusters one comprised of 2 and the other comprised of 3 cultivars. Cluster I representing cultivar nos. 1 and 2 and cluster II cultivar nos. 4, 5 and 7. In both the clusters (Cluster I and II) the members are not so closely associated. In cluster I the members seems to form a straight line and in cluster II they form a triangle. An exceptional feature is the off location of two glyphs representing cultivar nos. 3 and 6. Key words: metroglyph analysis; cotton; Gossypium Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 42(4), 449-454, 2007

Regional development can be carried out with an emphasis on the basic sectors and leading commodities. The purpose of this study is twofold. The first is to determine the basic sectors, sub-sectors, and leading commodities, and the second is to analyze the suitability and allocation directives of land for leading commodities. The data used include gross regional domestic product (GDP) of West Java and the harvested area in 2011-2013.The other data are land suitability requirement, map soil types, rainfall, temperature, grade slope, erosion, map of soil units, land use, spatial plans, and administrative maps. Location Quotient (LQ) method is used to determine the basic sectors and sub-sectors. Meanwhile, the LQ and Differential Shift and Share are used to determine the leading commodities. The land suitability of leading commodities is spatially analyzed using Geographical Information System (GIS). The results have shown that the agriculture is the basic sector and food crop agriculture is and the basic sub-sector. The leading commodities are soybean, peanut, and rice. The land suitability classes are S2 and S3. The available allocation areas are 27.984 Hectares for wet-field paddy, 17.984 Hectares for peanuts, and 38.835 Hectares for soybean.

Multichannel ABR recordings for 30 otoneurologic patients were reviewed independently by three audiologists to assess interjudge consistency in determining absolute latencies and overall interpretation of ABR results. Four months later, the tracings were reviewed a second time to evaluate intrajudge consistency in interpretation of ABR waveforms. Interjudge agreement in marking latencies for waves I, III, and V within 0.2 ms was on the order of 90% or better. Intrajudge consistency was slightly higher. Only rarely did inter- or intrajudge differences in latency measurements exceed 0.3 ms. Agreement in overall interpretation of ABR results as "normal" or "abnormal" was unanimous for 90% of the patients. Across pairs of judges, the agreement for "normal" and "abnormal" classification of the ABR tracings was 97%. Intrajudge consistency for "normal" and "abnormal" categorization of the ABR results was 100% for one judge, 97% for the other two judges.
