The purpose of this quantitative, correlational research paper was to examine to what extent a relationship existed between transformational and transactional leadership attributes and corporate rank on the most profitable organizations List published by the Businessuite Magazine. The study included a sample of 20 chief executive officers (CEOs) whose organizations were ranked among the 2015 most profitable organizations in the Caribbean. Study participants completed a mailed self-report survey in the form of an adapted Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, and companies of participants were categorized by profitability and ranked based on the most profitable List. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to determine the magnitude and direction of the relationship between the variables of interest: Transformational and transactional leadership attributes and corporate rank on the most profitable organizations List published by the Businessuite Magazine. The findings of this study indicated no significant relationships between transactional and transformational leadership attributes and corporate ranking for the most profitable companies. However, overall there appears to be a positive correlation between the interaction of transformational and transactional behaviors and rank on the most profitable Caribbean organizations published by the Businessuite magazine. The small sample size was the major confounding factor, and therefore additional research is warranted with a larger sample.

The present study investigated parent-adolescent interaction in families from four different social classes (Class I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV) of G.B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. Families falling under social class I of the university had parent(s) working as Professor and Associate Professor in the university; those falling under social class II had parent(s) working as Assistant Professor or equivalent and Doctor in the university; those falling under social class III had parent(s) working as Accountant, Supervisor, Lab Technician and Clerk in the university and those falling under social class IV had parent(s) working as Attendant, Driver, Peon, CRC laborer, Gardner and Sweeper. Forty adolescents were randomly selected as respondents from each social class of families making a total of 160 adolescent respondents for the present study.Parent-adolescent interaction was assessed through adolescents' perception on it using standardized PCR scale. In the present study it was seen that adolescents from social class I and social class II perceived their parents, both mothers and fathers to be significantly more protecting; demanding; symbolically punitive; symbolic and object reward giving than those from social class III and social class IV. On the contrary, adolescents from social class III and social class IV reported their parents, both mothers and fathers to be significantly more rejecting, practicing object punishment, neglecting and indifferent than those belonging to social class I and social class II. Hence, higher the social class of a family, higher or better is the education and economic level of the parents and thereby significantly better is the parent-adolescent interaction.

The aim of this study was to explore students and lecturers' attitudes and views towards active learning strategies (ALS) implemented at the Institute' Enseignement Supérieur de Ruhengeri (INES-Ruhengeri), an Institute of applied sciences in Rwanda. Each class was taught in an active (non-traditional) manner for one course and in a passive (traditional) manner for another course. Several active learning methods (Think-Pair-Share, Card for Active Learning, Cooperative Learning, Supporting all the students, & Expert group) have been implemented during student teaching sessions. Questionnaires and interviews were administrated to students and lecturers, and then data were analysed. The results have shown that 78% of students learn better when the lesson involves ALS and it helps them to understand things better. 58% said that they enjoy lessons more if they involve ALS. It has also been reported (56%) that ALS helps students to communicate and to have better relationships with other classmates. The study has also found that over 82% of the lecturers agree that using ALS have a positive effect on students' performance. This is very encouraging as it will help to improve the teaching and learning of students at INES. About 75% of the lecturers agreed that ALS methods ensure that total participation of students is achieved, integrate the learners' experience and makes students interact in class. Some lecturers (15%) indicated that the class size of students and workload can affect the ability to use ALS. The different findings of this research will probably be useful for other institutes about the best ALS that the academic staff members in developing countries need for their teaching work, especially in the context of applied sciences.

The purpose of the present study was conducted to see the effect of Chronotype and Career Status of Couples on Occupational Stress. Following the disproportional random sampling technique 100 male subjects were selected from considering two characteristics of population, Chronotype (Morning active, Afternoon active, & Evening active) and Career Status (single & dual career status. To assess the Chronotype of the subjects Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (Horn & Ostberg, 1976) was used and to measure Occupational Stress the Occupational Stress Index (OSI) (Shrivastava & Singh, 1984) was used. ANOVA was used to analyze the data. The results indicate that chronotype and career status of couples generate significant effect upon occupational stress of subjects. Occupational Stress of the Ss with Morningness Preference was lower than the Occupational Stress of the Ss with Eveningness Preference. Dual career couples have shown higher Occupational Stress than the Single career couples. No interactional effects of these two factors were found. Therefore, it may be concluded that the career status of couples and morningness-eveningness preference independently generate variance upon Occupational Stress.

One third of the world's poor reside in India and about 87 percent of the poorest households do not have access to credit. For the development of a country and sustainability, it is important to focus on empowering women. In order to improve the socio-economic conditions of the population of any country, it has become important to empower women economically by enhancing their role to the utmost level. Women Empowerment refers to an increase in the strength of women such as spiritual, political, social or economic. The empowerment of women through micro-financing leads to benefits not only to the individual women, but also for the family and community as a whole through collective action for development. Microfinance is emerging as a powerful tool for poverty alleviation in the new economy. It refers to collection of banking practices built around providing small loans and accepting tiny deposits. The loans are offered to individuals who belong to the low-income group for income-generation purposes. All the government and non-governmental organizations are running various projects to uplift women. The job of these institutions doesn't end with just providing loans. They also stick to the borrower till they are capable to run their businesses on their own. As a result, large ratio of women has started small scale business from their homes and became role models to women in their communities. So, it is on record that the success rate of the micro-financing institutions in India is very high and these institutions are growing with every passing day. The more successful the micro-financing institutions will be in India, more will be the improvement rate of the poor section in the country.
