A comparison of Tennessee rural and urban counties regarding 32 problem areas : as perceived by selected community leaders

The general purpose of this study was to identify differences and similarities between Tennessee\u27s rural and urban counties as to leaders\u27 perceptions of the quality of 32 selected community problem areas. The data were obtained in 1984 through a statewide mail survey of community leaders. The samples were taken from the county leaders belonging to 12 groups which included bankers, the County Agricultural Extension Committee, county government officials, the County Rural Development Committee, Community Club Presidents, Home Demonstration Club Presidents, merchants, ministers, newspaper editors, school principals. Service Club Presidents, and Senior 4-H Club Presidents. A total of 4616 county leaders returned the survey. Tennessee counties were divided into rural and urban according to the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area classification. The data were analyzed by computer facilities provided by The University of Tennessee, Knoxville Computing Center. The Chi-Square Test was used to test the significance of the differences in the ratings of rural and urban counties regarding the selected community problem areas. Major findings of the study included the following: 1. Rural and urban counties differed as rated by all 12 groups of leaders on 27 areas (jobs available, job training and retraining, local industry, local stores, sources of credit, fire protection, garbage and trash disposal, police protection, public buildings, public transportation, road maintenance, sewage disposal, children\u27s day care, condition of homes, family income, family living conditions, availability of doctors and dentists, availability of hospitals and clinics, education, public libraries, school buildings, citizen participation in local government, community organizations, general community appearance, land use planning and zoning, parks and playgrounds, and recreational opportunities for all ages). Rural county leaders regarded the quality or condition of one area (sewage disposal) higher than did urban county leaders; whereas, urban county leaders rated the other 26 areas higher than did rural county leaders. 2. Rural and urban counties differed as rated by five Extension-related audiences on 14 areas (jobs available, job training and re training, local industry, local stores, public buildings, children\u27s day care, family income, availability of doctors and dentists, availability of hospitals and clinics, education, school buildings, general community appearance, parks and playgrounds, and recreational opportunities for all ages). Urban county leaders rated each of the 14 areas higher than did rural county leaders. 3. Rural and urban counties differed as rated by leaders belonging to non-Extension-related audiences on 27 areas (jobs available, job training and retraining, local industry, local stores, fire protection, garbage and trash disposal, police protection, public buildings, public transportation, road maintenance, sewage disposal, children\u27s day care, condition of homes, family income, family living conditions, availability of doctors and dentists, availability of hospitals and clinics, education, nursing homes, public libraries. school buildings, citizen participation in local government, community organizations, general community appearance, land use planning and zoning, parks and playgrounds, and recreational opportunities for all ages). Rural counties were rated higher than urban counties as to the quality or condition of sewage disposal and nursing homes; whereas, urban counties were rated higher than rural counties on the other 25 areas. 4. The ratings of rural counties by all 12 groups of leaders in 1979 compared with 1984 differed as to the quality of 25 community problem areas (jobs available, job training and retraining, local agriculture, local stores, local industry, fire protection, garbage and trash disposal, public buildings, public transportation, road maintenance, sewage disposal, water supply, condition of homes, family income, availability of doctors and dentists, availability of hospitals and clinics, availability of public health services, education, nursing homes, public libraries, school buildings, community organizations, conservation of natural resources, parks and playgrounds, and recreational opportunities for all ages). Rural counties in 1979 were rated higher than in 1984 as to the quality or condition of eight areas (jobs available, job training and retraining, local agriculture, local stores, local industry, family income, public transportation, and conservation of natural resources); whereas, rural counties in 1984 were rated higher than in 1979 on the other 17 areas. The ratings of urban counties by all 12 groups of leaders in 1979 compared with 1984 differed as to the quality of 19 community problem areas (jobs available, job training and retraining, local stores. local industry, fire protection, garbage and trash disposal, public buildings, public transportation, road maintenance, sewage disposal, condition of homes, family living conditions, availability of doctors and dentists, availability of hospitals and clinics, education, nursing homes, public libraries, school buildings, and community organizations). Urban counties in 1979 were rated higher than in 1984 as to the quality or condition of four areas (jobs available, job training and retraining, local industry, and public transportation); whereas, urban counties in 1984 were rated higher than in 1979 on the other 15 areas. 5. Rural and urban counties were rated most frequently as poor on public transportation; whereas, local agriculture, sources of credit, water supply, availability of doctors and dentists, availability of hospitals and clinics, nursing homes, and public libraries were rated most frequently as good by all groups of audiences surveyed

Acceptance of Islamic finance products: a study on muslim consumers attitude in a non Muslim country

In accordance with the teachings of Islam which prohibit the utilisation of Riba (interest), this has led to the development of a banking approach which are based on the laws of shariah. Although these methods are not totally new or revolutionary as it has been written and practiced during the renaissance of the Islamic civilisation, it has yet to establish itself and tested in the modern world as compared to the conventional banking. Many Muslims worldwide still engage in non-interest-free in financing their purchases especially those who are staying in non-muslim countries. There are many reasons why Muslims still engage in non-interest-free products. one of the reasons is the availibility of Muslim financial product or non-interest bearing financial instruments offers by the banks. it is quite difficulut to find such instruments as most of them are not easy to get. To some extent, there are only a few financial instituitions that offer such products products among Muslims outside the Islamic world and will explain whether there is demand for such product from Muslims staying in non Muslim countries. The study reveals that Muslims living in non Muslim countries are very much willing to change their practices from the conventional system into the new system – the Islamic financial system

The journey to success in PhD: a case of a Malaysian social science student

Pelajar Ph.D. perlu memikul tanggungjawab dalam menguruskan pembelajaran mereka untuk memperolehi Ph.D.. Mereka juga bertanggungjawab untuk menentukan apa yang diperlukan, di samping melaksanakannya, dan perlu sentiasa berhubung rapat dengan penyelia mereka. Para pelajar merupakan individu yang terpenting untuk kajian Ph.D. mereka. Pengajian peringkat Ph.D. menyatakan dengan jelas bahawa segala kerja penyelidikan adalah dilakukan oleh pelajar. Kajian asal telah dilakukan ke atas tiga pelajar Ph.D. dari Malaysia yang terdiri daripada tiga disiplin pengajian yang berbeza, iaitu sastera, sains dan sains sosial. Walau bagaimanapun, hanya satu kajian kes dengan menumpukan kepada pelajar sains sosial di dalam pengajian ini. Ini adalah kerana terlalu banyak petikan kata-kata yang perlu dibentangkan bagi membolehkan pemahaman yang lebih baik dicapai. Ianya juga akan menyebabkan perkara ini terlalu luas dan panjang jika tiga kajian kes dibentangkan di dalam artikel ini. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menyediakan panduan yang lebih baik dari segi peranan yang efektif untuk menjadi pelajar Ph.D. dalam bidang sains sosial, terutama sekali bagi pelajar dari luar negara. Hasilnya, kajian ini berjaya membentuk peranan yang lebih efektif untuk pelajar mencapai kejayaan dalam pengajian mereka

Nypa Frutican Rachis as building envelope heat insulator

This research is conducted to investigate the possibility of cellulose in Nypa Frutican Rachis to achieve thermal comfort. As Malaysia was known as tropical country which has hot and humid climate, this research focus on to study the transfer of heat through Nypa Frutican Rachis as a roof. Since only Nypa leaves have been used as a roof and have been applied until now in East Malaysia, this project uses an innovation of Nypa palm by using its rachis that contain chemical material that have lower thermal conductivity value such as cellulose and lignin as a roof or building envelope heat insulator. This paper described the experimental study method by measuring the temperature of outer and inner surface of Nypa Frutican Rachis on small physical model study. The temperature was measured by using Digital Infrared Thermometer. The average outer and inner tempe rature for five consecutive days was obtained from the experiment is highlighted. Results show that the average of heat loss and heat transfer conduction for five consecutive days are 9.63 W/h and 9.86 W. This experiment shows a good result and proved that Nypa Frutican Rachis is suitable and effective to be a building envelope heat insulator

Dimensi amalan etika profesion

A crisis of confidence in the society is partly due to the reason that the society increasingly feels that their interests are not served by the professions. The situation if allowed to continue will not only adversely affect the professions, but will also destabilize the society. This study aims to identify the dimensions of ethical practices among the teaching profession at a public institute of higher learning. Quantitative data were collected from 147 lecturers to determine the basic concept of ethics, while qualitative data were collected through interviews to understand ethical practices. Results from the quantitative study indicate that the respondents opined that ethics can be learned and attitudes were the determinants of ethical practices. Ethical practices were based on spiritual intelligence developed through education at home and the workplace. Qualitative findings showed that the dimensions of ethical practices are founded on religion and values, followed by epistemological foundations and competencies, and practiced through operational and contextual fundamentals. These three dimensions are interrelated and influence each other. Dilemmas on ethical decision making are addressed through strong principles and practiced at each of these dimensions. The implications are directed toward formal and non-formal training of lecturers on spiritual aspects throughout the career of the lecturers

Writer identification based on hyper sausage neuron

This paper proposes biomimetic pattern recognition (BPR) based on hyper sausage neuron (HSN) and applies it in writer identification. HSN is used to cover the training set.HSN’s coverage can be seen as a topological product of a one-dimensional line segment and an n-dimensional supersphere.The feature extraction is moment invariants such as united moment invariants (UMI) and aspect united moment invariants (AUMI).The experiments result show that AUMI-HSN method is more effective than UMI-HSN method for identifying the authorship of handwriting
