Effective Management of Human Resource in Schools of the Future: the Superleadership Paradigm

The impact of technology on education has generated varying possibilities of approaches and techniques in the teaching-learning process in the Malaysian educational setting. In effect, the impact has been pervasive in the management and administrative culture in schools to the extent that there is a growing demand toward a continual building of competency, capacity and capability of educational leaders and managers through various training program

Sustainable Fashion: A Hybrid Model for Social, Economic, and Environmental Responsibility in Haiti

This case explores two Haiti-based organizations, one a non-profit (REBUILD globally) and one a sustainable fashion business (deux mains), that work interdependently to combat poverty through business. The business model addresses complex social, economic, and environmental issues prominent in Haiti and provides actionable solutions consumers can take through their purchases to help alleviate negative outcomes the fashion industry has had in the world. By presenting a ‘successful’ hybrid model for sustainable fashion, the authors offer challenges and opportunity for how the fashion industry can create positive influence in emerging countries while meeting demands presented by the growing consumer segment in developed markets. From this discussion, the questions of how to grow and replicate the business in order to increase positive impact are posed. The case is framed within Epstein and Yuthas (2014) model to identify inputs and activities to achieve organizational vision as well as desired outputs and outcomes

Towards an improved understanding of eta --> gamma^* gamma^*

We argue that high-quality data on the reaction $e^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^-\eta$ will allow one to determine the double off-shell form factor $\eta \to \gamma^*\gamma^*$ in a model-independent way with controlled accuracy. This is an important step towards a reliable evaluation of the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. When analyzing the existing data for $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\eta$ in the range of total energies $1\text{GeV}^2<Q_2^2<(4.5\text{GeV})^2$, we demonstrate that the double off-shell form factor $F_{\eta\gamma^*\gamma^*}(Q_1^2,Q_2^2)$ is consistent with the commonly employed factorization ansatz at least for $Q_1^2<1\text{GeV}^2$, if the effect of the $a_2$ meson is taken into account. However, better data are needed to draw firm conclusions.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

PENGGUNAAN KHAMIR SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISEAE UNTUK MEMERBAIKI KUALITAS NUTRIEN DEDAK PADI (Using yeast saccharomyces cereviseae to improve nutrients quality of rice bran)

The experiment was conducted to improve the nutrients quality ofrice bran fermented with Saccharomyces cereviseae.A laboratorium experimental method was used andarranging factorially in Completely Randomized Design3 x 4 x 3 namely three&nbsp; inoculant levels of S.cerevisiae 1, 2, and 3 % (w/w) as the first factor and inkubation time: 24, 48 and 72 hours as the second factor. Parameters observed were crude protein, soluble protein,crude fat, and phytic acid.The best result of this study was combination 2% S.cerevisiae inoculant level and 72 hours incubation time was supporting to increasing crude protein (10,88 to 14, 36%), soluble protein content (6.14 to 9.82%), and&nbsp; decreased&nbsp;&nbsp; phytic acid content (5.48 to 2.98%) and crude fat (8,23 to 6,91%).Penelitian dilakukan untuk memerbaiki kualitas nutrien dedak padi secara in vitro yang difermentasi dengan menggunakan Saccharomyces cereviseae. Metode yang digunakan adalah eksperimental &nbsp;menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) pola faktorial yakni level inokulum S. cerevisiae: 1, 2, dan 3% (b/b)sebagai faktor pertama dan lama inkubasi: 24, 48, dan 72 jam sebagai faktor kedua dan masing-masing diulang tiga kali. Parameter yang diukur adalah protein kasar, protein terlarut, lemak kasar, dan asam pitat. Hasil pengukuran menyimpulkan bahwa terdapat interaksi antara level inokulum dan lama inkubasi. Level inokulum S.cerevisiae 2% dan lama inkubasi 72 jam terbaik memengaruhi peningkatan kandungan protein kasar (10,88 menjadi 14.36%), protein terlarut(7.14 menjadi10,62%) dan berkurangnya lemak kasar (dari 8,33 menjadi 6,46%) tetapi kadar asam pitat paling sedikit ada di perlakuan 3% level inokulum dan lama inkubasi 48 jam (5.48 menjadi 2.77%

Impact of income shock on children’s schooling and labor in a West African country

This study measures the impact of a flood in 2010 in Benin on children’s schooling and labor. The data used are the National Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) of 2006 and 2012. The difference in differences estimates points out a significant decrease in income between farm households and non-farm households following the shock. Enrollment has also significantly decreased by 5.99% for girls in rural areas, by 4.45% for boys in rural areas, by 7.76% for girls in urban areas and by 6.17% for boys in urban areas. The likelihood to be a domestic worker or a farmer has also significantly increased. Robustness checks, on different other groups, are in concordance with the results. Despite the removal of school fees in 2006, households still withdrew their children from school after this income shock. These results imply that income shocks could be a threat to the Universal Primary Education

Kecernaan Bahan Kering Dan Bahan Organik Ransum Ternak Kambing Kacang Yang Diberi Suplementasi Dedak Padi Dan Daun Turi

Dry And Organic Matter Digestibility Of Kacang Goats Offered Native Grass Supplemented With Rice Meal And Sesbania Leafs. A study on the effect of rice meal and sesbania leafs supplementation on dry and organic matter digestibility of kacang goats offered native grass has been carried out using 12 male goats (6-9 months old) in a block completely randomized design. The goats were grouped into 4 and then each group was treated as R0 = 100% native grass (control), R1 = 75% native grass + 20% sesbania leafs + 5% rice meal, R2 = 50% native grass + 40% sesbania leafs + 10% rice meal or R3 = 25% native grass + 60% sesbania leafs + 15% rice meal. Replication was 3 times for each treatment so there are 12 experimental units. Data was analyzed by Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the difference among treatments was further analyzed by Duncan\u27s multiple range tests. Results showed that there is a strong significant difference (P&lt;0.01) among dry matter digestibility. Further test showed that there is a strong significant difference (P&lt;0.01) between R3 and either R0, R1 or R2. Between R2 and R0 there is only a significant (P&lt;0.05) difference. There is no difference (P&gt;0.05) between R2 and R1 as well as R1 and R0. Organic matter digestibility was significantly (P&lt;0.01) differ among treatments. Further test showed that a strong significant (P&lt;0.01) difference was recorded between R3 and either R0, R1 or R2. Similarly, the difference between R2 and R0 as well as R1 and R0 was recorded. There is no significant difference (P&gt;0.05) between R2 and R1. It can be concluded that dry and organic matter digestibility of kacang goats increases according to the increase of sesbania leafs and rice meal supplementation. It was suggested to use sesbania leafs and rice meal in the ration of fattening goats and also it was suggested a further experiment by using different ration formulation composed of these feedstuffs
