Business employ a number of strategies to improve financial profitability, including streamlining processes, outsourcing and integrating new technologies. The study sought to determine the relationship between financial leverage and profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Kenya. More specifically the study examined the relationship between short term debt, long term debt and debt equity, on profitability of listed manufacturing firms in Kenya. Theories that guided the study include; Market Power Theory and Pecking Order Theory. The target population of the study was ten manufacturing firms quoted in Nairobi Stock Exchange. Secondary data for all the ten (10) listed Manufacturing firms was collected using a data collection sheet for a period of six years between 2012-2016. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Descriptive analysis involved means, standard deviations, trend analysis, maximum and minimum across all variables. Inferential statistics included; Pearson correlation and multiple regression analyses. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to show the relationship between variables while multiple regression analyses was used to test the magnitude of the relationship and also test formulated hypotheses. The study revealed a negative relationship of short term debt (-0.362) and debt to equity ratio (-0.062) on profitability of listed manufacturing firms. On the other hand long term debt (0.349) positively and significantly affected listed manufacturing firms. . The study findings assists the capital market regulator that is Capital Market Athority (CMA) and other policy makers in formulating appropriate mechanisms necessary to continuously monitor and evaluate the financing aspect of corporations. The study further contributes to the existing body of literature, and form a reference point for future scholars researching in this area The study recommend that debt to equity should be reduced by the manufacturing firms since it largely affects the earning before tax and manufacturing firms should consider where possible, using their internally generated funds to finance their projects and only go for debt financing when they have fully exhausted their internal funds.

Solid waste management challenges facing the cities of Johannesburg and Lagos are real; where residents hardly bother about issues pertaining to environmental care. As landfills reach their capacity, composting has become an increasingly viable means of organic waste management. The paper identified environmental and economic benefits of composting.

Through the review of quantitative data, the composition of municipal solid waste arising from the two cities was obtained in order to ascertain the potential for composting organic waste fraction of the waste stream. The data showed that the organic fraction of the waste stream of Johannesburg and Lagos are 38% and 50% respectively.

The aim of this paper is to examine composting as a sustainable waste reduction strategy in two developing cities in Africa namely, the cities of Johannesburg (South Africa) and Lagos (Nigeria) which have similar solid waste management problems. Recommendations were also made on the sustainability of composting in both cities.

The factors affecting the price of an equity share can be viewed from the macro and micro economic perspectives. These factors will affect the demand and supply of a stock in the market which in turn will affect the price of the stock. The purpose of the study was to evaluate selected factors influencing share price behavior of commercial banks listed in the NSE. The factors to be evaluated were dividend per share, financial leverage, book value per share and interest rates. The study utilized published financial statements of the listed commercial banks, the average lending rates charged by the banks to its customers as a measure of interest rates, and the daily share prices of the commercial banks. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used by the researcher to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of data and the results obtained was presented using tables for easy interpretation. The study used correlational and longitudinal research design. Significance of each independent variable and the hypothesis was tested using t-test statistic. The p-value for each t-test was used to make conclusions on whether to not reject or reject the null hypotheses. The benchmark for this study to reject or to accept the null hypothesis was a level of significance of 5 percent. The correlation results indicated that dividend per share had a strong positive correlation while book value per share and financial leverage had a weak positive correlation on market price per share of commercial banks. The regression analysis and test of hypothesis showed that dividend per share and book value per share had a significant effect while financial leverage had no significant effect on the market price per share of commercial banks. This study will be useful to the investors, the decision makers of commercial banks, the CMA and NSE Policy makers, the government and the scholars. The researcher recommends that further research can be extended to cover longer time periods, more firms and more macroeconomic variables.

In India, traditional values as well as the timeless way of building compact residential environments is now threatened by new and foreign influences .These influences are incompatible with the climate of the country and traditional culture of its people. In the context of the worldwide concern for global warming and a need for reduced carbon emissions, increased energy efficiency, reduced waste and need for alternative sources of energy, this paper reviews passive design strategies that were used in the traditional buildings across India and assess their potential in modern design. This study offers a classification of vernacular environmental design traditions based on West Maharashtra climatic regions and a detailed study of thermal comfort in traditional and modern dwellings using environmental performance modeling. The results show that traditional passive techniques provide a high degree of comfort for a longer part of the day while potentially minimizing energy use. Some problems were identified specifically in West Maharashtra region in adopting the passive strategies to the present context. For example, there are limitations in the use of traditional building materials, such as earth, but suitable alternatives with similar properties can be readily adapted to the same effect. Sustainability in Indian settlements is static and is based on the living practices. India has got diversified climatic, topological and vast socio conditions due to which each region has its own unique identity with climate base responsive building designs and its knowledge in the form of vernacular architecture. This traditional wisdom of building human habitats is known to be tested by time for its sustainability in various settlements. This paper talks about West Maharashtra settlement , achieving sustainability through planning, orientation, materials and architectural practices evolved from long time due to socio, economic and environmental factors. Factors results in two levels i.e. macro and micro level. Macro level broadly focuses on planning & architecture aspects .Micro level describes art, architectural details and socio practice affecting built habitat. Trained designers of modern era have mostly ignored it .The study of passive design traditional strategies with local vernacular architecture and lessons about climate responsive planning, techniques can be helpful to generate an approach towards energy reduce and climate responsive building design in West Maharashtra corridor.

Literacy and sex ratio both are important parameters for the study of demographic, socio-cultural and economic status of any region. Literacy is a sensitive indicator of the cultural advancement of an area. It develops the personality and rationality of individuals, qualifies them to fulfill certain economic, political and cultural functions and, thereby, plays an active part in the socio-economic transformation of society. The sex composition is also an important demographic component of human development. It is the basic biological attributes of any demographic group. It can be expressed either in the form of a proportion of a particular sex in the population or as a ratio between the population of two sexes. The sex ratio represents the most radially recognizable components of the population. It is in advance and rising objective consequence with a growing emphasis on the regional planning and regional approach to the population policy. Information about the pattern of sex ratio helps to enlighten the employment and consumption pattern, social requirement of the peoples and perhaps the psychological characteristics of a society. Besides, the ratio can reflect the social, economic, biological and migration characteristics of the population. According to a census of India, the general literacy rate in Maharashtra state and Ahmednagar District was 82.34 and 79.05 percent respectively in 2011. About 50.15 percent of the tribal population of Ahmednagar district recorded as literate in 2001, which have experienced an upward trend up to 56.18 percent in 2011. While the sex ratio of the tribal population is declining from 977 (2001) to 971 (2011) in the district. There is a wide variation in the spatial pattern of literacy and sex ratio in the district. In the present study, literacy and sex ratio are taken under consideration and further relation between literacy and sex ratio has to find out by applying Spearman’s Rank Correlation method.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

The Vocational education and training are essential mechanism of any strategy to improve the condition of women. Skill is the bridge between job and workforce. Women often have different training needs than men, since they are more likely to work as contributing family workers, subsistence farmers, home based micro entrepreneurs, or low paid seasonal labourers, in addition to handling their domestic work and care responsibilities. Skills development is a key to improving household productivity, employability and income earning opportunities for women and also for enhancing sustainable rural development and livelihoods. Skill development is important because of its contribution to enhance productivity at the individual, industry and also national levels because of the complementaritiesthat exist between physical capital and human capital on the one hand and between technology and human capital on the other. This research paper deals with skill development for empowering women through analyzing the several governments’ schemes such as vocational training through PM KausalVikasYojna, National Skills Development Programmes and number of initiatives in the field of skill development and employment concerning women empowerment.

Mathematics’ teachers play an important role in teaching of concepts in mathematics and ensuring that students register good grades in tests. However, in Mwala Sub-county, the scenario is different with many students registering low achievement in mathematics. Thus, the purpose of this study was to assess the influence of mathematics’ teachers training on use of questioning technique on students’ achievement in mathematics in public secondary schools in Mwala Sub-county, Machakos County, Kenya. The study was guided by the learning theory. This study adopted mixed methodology and thus applied concurrent triangulation research design. Questionnaires were used to gather quantitative data from mathematics’ teachers whereas interview guides were used to collect qualitative data from principals. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically based on study objectives and presented in narrative form. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferentially using linear regression analysis in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Version 23) and presented using tables. The study established that many mathematics’ teachers have basic training on how to use questioning technique in teaching mathematics. However, this has not improved students’ achievement in mathematics. Thus, the study recommends that mathematics’ teachers should undergo many in-service trainings on how improve the questioning technique skills. Mathematics’ teachers interact more with experienced colleagues by attending seminars and workshops designed to improve their experience and levels of exposure to different approaches of questioning. The Ministry of Education should create room for more in-service trainings for the newly recruited mathematics’ teachers.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Our entire education system is centered on examinations. In the present Evaluation system we conduct the examination and give marks and ranks to students. Student’s knowledge is often limited to memorization and reproducing the same in the examinations. Each student has its own innate talents which are not recognized; instead their capability in writing examination is being tested. It is restricted to only by – rote memory. The present day examinations are only testing the memory power of the students. The examination should be designed in such way that they should measure the higher order skills of learning, like analysis synthesis and problem solving. The examinations are mechanical in nature so it is a work of correcting and posting of the marks routinely. There is no scope for diagnostic and remedial teaching. This type of testing is not able to know how far a student is lagging behind. These Examinations are not helping the teacher in assessing the all-round development of the student. The all round development means to develop co-curricular, social, personal qualities and health status. It is also not helping in testing their level of competency. However, in constructive teaching, the process of gaining knowledge is viewed as being just as important as the product. Thus, assessment as per constructivism is based not only on tests, but also on observation of the student, the student’s work, and the student’s points of view. Portfolio assessment is one of the best methods of evaluation which is very popular forms of performance evaluation. The teachers will use it for understanding the learners learning ability and he will truly understand their students. The students are the products of significant instructional activity so the portfolios reflect contextualized learning and complex thinking skills. The decisions for constructing items for portfolio should be based on the purpose of the portfolio. If we take a right decision for item construction so it will prevent for becoming simply a folder of student work. Portfolio exists to make sense of students’ work, to communicate about their work, and to relate the work to a larger context. They may be intended to motivate students, to promote learning though reflections and self-assessment, and to be used in evaluations of student’s thinking and writing process.

25% NEIGHBOURHOOD ADMISSION POLICY UNDER RTE: AN EVALUATION

Vikas Mane

Issue: Sep-Oct, 2019 | Volume/Issue:7/53 | Page No.: 13089 - 13099

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Section 12 of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (the Act) has made it compulsory for every private unaided school to admit at least 25% of its entry level class from children belonging to weaker and disadvantaged groups. Due to various implementation issues this policy has been criticized by many social activists, academicians and educationists as well. An empirical study of the schools from Pune and Beed show various issues in the implementation of this provision, such as - vague admission process under the RTE, reimbursement as a per child expenditure being insufficient, negative approach of the school regarding the admission under 25% admission, lack of awareness of parents about the 25% reservation, schools manipulating the provision of admission under 25% reservation policy, etc. Suggestions for the effective implementation of the 25% admission policy include a fair selection process, adequate and timely reimbursement to school, transparent monitoring and evaluation system among others. Overall this 25% neighbourhood school admission policy for the disadvantaged and weaker students is good but needs a far better implementation structure and a determined political and administrative will to succeed on greater scale. Its main objectives of social integration of children and exposure to quality education are laudable and express the best intentions of the RTE act.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

NCF-2005 says, "Each school should evolve a flexible and implementable scheme of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), primarily for diagnosis, remediation and enhancing of learning" (p.115). Right to Education Act, 2009 in its section-29 (2), clause-h recommended for comprehensive and continuous evaluation of child\'s understanding of knowledge and his/her ability to apply the same. CCE scheme has already been implemented in our schools. However, whether the real aim of CCE is achieved or not needs to be studied. The investigators conducted a study on the perception of children about the practice of CCE at elementary stage in Odisha. Qualitative survey method was followed for the present study. Target population is restricted to all the elementary schools of four districts of Odisha: Balasore, Cuttack, Dhenkanal and Ganjam. Ten elementary schools were selected randomly from each district. In each school, one FGD with students was conducted. A total of forty FGDs were conducted with students. A guideline for focus group discussion with students was developed and used by the investigators. The data were analysed by using qualitative data analysis techniques. Findings and suggestions are given related to the study.

Keywords: continuous and comprehensive evaluation, elementary school, focus group discussion, perception.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Corruption’ is a meaningful concept in our society because it is a part of social practice not only in modern times but also in medieval and ancient ages. Throughout the ages, people perceived practice of corruption as a deviation from social ethics. It affects every sphere of life like society, politics, economy, and administration. IN present India corruption is a big issue. Like cancer, corruptions have polluted our society. The sources of corruption in India are found in every sphere of life and society. there are problems in the collection of actual data about corruption, due to lack of reliability/credibility of published data or information. Many cases related to the big scam are not proven. This leads to an institutional crisis. Many institutions are formed to prevent corruption like CVC, CBI, LOKPAL etc. These institutions are losing their credibility and legitimacy due to their inability to effectively deal with cases related to corruption which in the long run may undermine the credence of Indian State.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Maharashtra, a state in India, having residents of almost all prominent religions like Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Jainism, Christianity, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism respectively, has a heterogenous composition of religious centres. Religious tourism is the most popular form of tourism in India. Since the religious practices and visits to various religious centres are rapidly gaining popularity, studying the expectations of the devotees from such religious tourism centres would prove to be salubrious to the management of such centres as well as to the visitors. There is a need to bridge the gap between the expectation of facilities by the visitors and the provision of such facilities from the management’s side.

This paper is an attempt to understand the expectation of the facilities by the visitors to the various religious tourism centres. This will help to understand the need for further infrastructural development as well as other facilities offered by such centres.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

The human society, since time immemorial, has been characterized by inequalities and inequities on one hand and quest for equality and equity on the other. At present the scheduled castes constituting approximately 16.6 percent (census 2011) of the total population in India and 25.2 percent of the total population in Himachal Pradesh have important social formation in the Indian society. The continuity and change in the life of scheduled castes is historical in nature attributing mainly to the concerted efforts made by various scheduled castes organizations themselves for their up-liftment. The constitutional provisions are translated into a reality by incorporating them into development policies and plans. Whatever changes which have come in the life of the scheduled castes are the result of planned developmental strategies. Despite various measures have been taken to improve the socio-economic conditions of scheduled castes, they still remain vulnerable. Atrocities against the members of the scheduled castes still continue to a disturbing level. The public accountability provisions under the Act need to be outlined in detail and strengthened. The objective of the study is to emphasize the intention of the Indian constitutional provisions to develop scheduled castes through affirmative action’s in order to enable them to live in society with dignity and self-esteem without any discrimination and fear.

During the present studies some soil isolates of fungi were screened for seed health (seed germination, shoot length and root length) of pulses, the seeds of pulses like Green gram (Vigna radiata L.), Black gram (Vigna mungo L.), Chick pea (Cicer arietinum L.) and Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) were surface sterilized with 0.1 % HgCl2 and subsequently washed to remove the fungicide. These seeds were then infested with 2 ml of spore suspension of test soil fungi and incubated on moist blotter at room temperature for ten days. On eleventh day seed germination, shoot and root length were recorded. The seeds without infestation of the test fungi of were served as control. The results presented showed that all the test soil isolates of fungi caused reduction in seed germination shoot and root length of pulses in more or less degree.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

In this paper an attempt has been made to explore the mantra of rehabilitation professionals for better empowerment of persons with disabilities. All the institutions which are working in the field of special education have proper physical and human resources. However, some of the institutions are doing good job not only due to their physical and human resources but due to the quality of teachers and their commitment, devotion and dedication. The existing training institutions are not sufficient to bring the persons with disabilities in the mainstream for the development of society. The trained professional/personnel in the field of special education for catering to the needs of children with disabilities, are too less in the national education system. The inclusion of children with disabilities in regular schools is also negligible. It is also important to enhance the knowledge and skills of mid level functionaries of government departments to facilitate various schemes/programmes related to empowerment of person with disabilities. This paper will also help to address how the awareness can be spread among the society, parents, community members and the persons with disabilities and also address some points of Mantra for better Rehabilitation.

Key words: Success mantra, awareness, attitude, confidence, humanity.

Skills of English language are particularly important for knowing what is generally recognised as information interpretation. Students require a lot of vocabulary expansion and instruction of comprehension strategies as English is a foreign language.

Though English is imparted as a compulsory subject from primary level to the secondary and even in higher education yet, it is a test of evolving expertise and interest which is the chief need of the hour. Hence the researcher decided to study the English language Competency of secondary school students in order to find out their level of competency in the language.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Environmental degradation is a series of actions through which we weaken or harm the natural environment, reduce its biological diversity and encroach on the general health of the natural infrastructure. Though environment can be degraded naturally, anthropogenic impacts on the environment fast-track its degradation. The environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through depletion of resources which includes all the biotic and abiotic element that form our surrounding that is air, water, soil, pant animals, and all other living and non-living element of the planet of earth. The major factor of environmental degradation is human (modern urbanization, industrialization, overpopulation growth, deforestation, etc.) and natural (flood, typhoons, droughts, rising temperatures, fires, etc.) cause. Today, different kinds of human activities are the main reasons for environmental degradation. The automobile and industries increase the number of poisonous gases like Sox, NOx, CO, and smoke in the atmosphere. Therefore, the government must enhance filling the gap in the legal system to avoid illegal activities. This chapter discusses the impact of environmental degradation with its future impacts, city planners, industry, and resource managers’ plan to be considered to mitigate the long-term effects of developmental environmental degradation. Keywords: Environmental degradation, Manmade impacts, Mitigation, Pollution, Biological diversity.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Blended learning refers to combining digital tools with the traditional teaching-learning process. The purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of a blended teaching-learning environment among senior secondary students by analyzing the relationship between students' attitudes and self-regulation and the learning outcomes. A survey was administered to 300 senior secondary students to gather data on their attitudes, self-regulation, and learning outcomes. The final examination results were used to measure performance as a learning outcome. An online self-regulatory learning questionnaire was used to collect students' self-regulation data, and a self-developed instrument was used to measure their attitude. Multiple regression analysis indicated that blended learning and students' attitudes and self-regulation predicted student satisfaction as an effective outcome. The results showed that students' attitudes and self-regulation are significant predictors for learning outcomes in blended learning.

The purpose of the present section is to analyse the effect of porous medium and uniform magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the unsteady flow of dusty incompressible Oldroyd visco-elastic liquid of second order under the influence of transient pressure gradient through a long right circular cylinder. This problem has been solved in the generalized visco-elastic model and the velocity field for visco-elastic liquid and the dust particles have been derived analytically in the closed form. The particular cases corresponding to Oldroyd, Maxwell, Rivlin-Ericksen dusty liquid and ordinary viscous dusty fluid models are derived for velocity field. There is also the case when uniform magnetic field is withdrawn has been deduced.

Abstract Download Article Certificate Share and cite your Article

Civic governments in Maharashtra have evolved during the British period. Since the seventeenth century its independence from the higher government and the active role of citizens have been emphasised. The BMC Act of 1888 and subsequent legislations have played an important in giving stability to the urban local governance. The provision of municipal corporation for larger urban areas has helped the government to resolve the civic issues to a large extent. The passage of 74th Amendment in the Parliament has further strengthened the status of the corporation as city government. However, the need to involve more and more people in the local governance has been recognised constitutionally. The autonomy especially in the field of finance is an area which needs special attention.
