Assessment of Factor Affecting the Customization Process In Real Estate Sector

In construction industry, real estate sector in northern India (specially Lucknow Uttar Pradesh) has been on peak point recently and maximizing the productivity of project delivery and provide a Customization has been a attraction point around the circle of real estate sector. Customization is defined as a customer integrated process for providing a product design, manufacturing, marketing and delivery service, and this one has become a main competitive factor. In real estate industry construction and customization of housing being a remarkable example of providing a amenity has various key concern which a interpoint factors on together. Any gap break between the time of construction of housing destroys and customer satisfaction get affected. The strange and genuine problem of connection communication gap has been observed between the customer and developer, which causes many obstacles or hurdle at the time of delivery of project. The paper presents customization of housing in the field of real estate sector at the time of delivery on the basis of customer needs after the positive agreement of developer and find a way to obstacles or hurdles of communication gap between the customer and developer.

Naturalism in the Philosophy of Mathematics

In the context of the philosophy of mathematics, the term “naturalism” has a number of uses, covering approaches that look to be fundamentally at odds with one another. In one use, the “natural” in naturalism is contrasted with non-natural, in the sense of supernatural; in this sense, naturalism in the philosophy of mathematics appears in opposition to Platonism (the view that mathematical truths are truths about a body of abstract mathematical objects). Naturalism thus construed takes seriously the epistemological challenge to Platonism presented by Paul Benacerraf in his paper “Mathematical Truth” (cited under Ontological Naturalism). Benacerraf points out that a view of mathematics as a body of truths about a realm of abstract objects appears to rule out any (non-mystical) account of how we, as physically located embodied beings, could come to know such truths. The naturalism that falls out of acceptance of Benacerraf’s challenge as presenting a genuine problem for our claims to be able to know truths about abstract mathematical objects is sometimes referred to as “ontological naturalism,” and suggests a physicalist ontology. In a second use, the “natural” in naturalism is a reference specifically to natural science and its methods. Naturalism here, sometimes called methodological naturalism, is the Quinean doctrine that philosophy is continuous with natural science. Quine and Putnam’s indispensability argument for the existence of mathematical objects places methodological naturalism in conflict with ontological naturalism, since it is argued that the success of our scientific theories confirms the existence of the abstract mathematical objects apparently referred to in formulating those theories, suggesting that methodological naturalism requires Platonism. A final use of “naturalism” in the philosophy of mathematics is distinctive to mathematics, and arises out of consideration of the proper extent of methodological naturalism. According to Quine’s naturalism, the natural sciences provide us with the proper methods of inquiry. But, as Penelope Maddy has noted, mathematics has its own internal methods and standards, which differ from the methods of the empirical sciences, and naturalistic respect for the methodologies of successful fields requires that we should accept those methods and standards. This places Maddy’s methodological naturalism in tension with the original Quinean version of the doctrine, because, Maddy argues, letting natural science be the sole source of confirmation for mathematical theories fails to respect the autonomy of mathematics.

Learning from others Can PISA and TIMSS really inform curriculum developments in mathematics?

One of the problems that will vex any President of the Mathematical Association is the topic of the address with which he or she closes his or her year of office. This occupied me, on and off, for more than a year. In my case, in addition to my desire to acknowledge the honour of the invitation made to me, I was deeply conscious of the fact that I would be the 100th individual to serve as President. I dabbled with some pet themes, typically concerning the lack of genuine problem-solving or proof in English school mathematics, before concluding that the most sensible thing would be to talk on the topic about which I know most. My research interests are in comparative mathematics education. I have been fortunate, over the last twenty years or so, to have been able to visit and videotape mathematics classrooms in several European countries. In so doing I have had my understanding of mathematics teaching transformed in ways that led, almost inevitably, to the theme of both this talk and the conference which brought my Presidency to an end:Learning from Others.

‘LIBEL TOURISM’ AND CONFLICT OF LAWS

This article considers the problem of ‘libel tourism’ (forum shopping in transnational libel cases) from the point of view of English and EU law (both relevant in certain situations). If proceedings are brought in a forum having no real connection with the case, and if the lex fori is applied, free speech in other countries could be undermined. This is particularly a problem where the case is brought in England, because of the pro-claimant slant of English libel law. The article notes when English conflicts law is applicable and when EU conflicts law is applicable, and explains the English and EU law regarding choice of law, jurisdiction and forum non conveniens in order to assess whether there is a genuine problem. It concludes that there is, particularly with regard to the Internet. Possible solutions are suggested.

Asia-Pacific Thrombosis Advisory Board consensus paper on prevention of venous thromboembolism after major orthopaedic surgery

SummaryThe incidence of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Asian populations is generally thought to be lower than in Western populations, and the use of thromboprophylaxis after surgery is not routine. This paper is authored by the Asia-Pacific Thrombosis Advisory Board. To provide guidance on the most effective postoperative thrombo prophylaxis management, this paper reviews the available data on the incidence of VTE in Asian populations, considers current clinical guidelines for the prevention of VTE to determine whether these guidelines are applicable to Asian populations, and evaluates the potential of new thromboprophylactic agents. Based on the available evidence, it was agreed that VTE represents a genuine problem in Asian patients, although the exact incidence in local populations requires confirmation in large, well-designed clinical trials. Furthermore, there was consensus that current guideline recommendations for the routine use of postoperative thromboprophylaxis should be implemented in Asia, and that new oral agents now available represent an effective and potentially more convenient therapeutic option. In conclusion, we call for recognition that VTE is an issue in Asian patients, and that effective thromboprophylaxis is the most important strategy.

Mythmatics

Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 2000) recommends that classroom mathematics instruction be more problem- centered—children need to be given the opportunity to engage in genuine problem solving by answering questions to which the answer is not apparent or the solution method is not known in advance (Charles and Lester 1982; NCTM 2000). Traditionally, problem solving has been associated with routine word, or story, problems. However, almost any mathematical question can be a problem; even computational exercises can be problematic if the answer is not apparent and children have not been taught a solution method, such as a computational algorithm.
