This research resulted to a training model that aims to enhance the parents' knowledge and skills in early childhood education within a family environment. The educative traditional model based on local potential has been developed. Through this model, parents are expected to improve their knowledge and skills on how to implement the educative traditional plays in child education. This research was carried out based on the fact that the trainings before this model had not helped to improve the parents' knowledge and skills in regard to child development. The research revealed that 15.72% of the parents' knowledge and skills was influenced by this new model. The recommendations are made to the stakeholders, especially the Educational sectors (both private and Government) in Gorontalo Province.

This study investigated the correlation between lecturers in higher education and the learning results of students. It also examined various aspects that affect learning results, including educators and sources of learning, learning method, learning media, learning facility, learning motivation, time of learning, and learning environment. The study adopted a quantitative approach and survey method for data collection. The survey was conducted on 20 students in a training management course in the second semester of the academic year 2011/2012. A questionnaire was distributed to record student perceptions and evaluations of the course lecturer's performance. The results were correlated with the students' learning results using Pearson's product-moment correlation formula: the null hypothesis was rejected if calculated t > table t, or if calculated t fell in the H0 area of rejection. The data-processing result showed a correlation coefficient of 0.6441, suggesting strong correlation. It was concluded that there was a strong correlation between lecturer performance and students' learning results: the calculated t value of 3.7960 fell in the H0 area of rejection, which was 1.201 (obtained from df = n2 = 18). The determination coefficient was 0.64412 or 0.4411. This indicated that 44% of the learning outcome was determined by lecturer performance and 56% by other factors (e.g., individual learning process or experience).

Organizational justice has the potential to generate prevailing benefits for organizations and employees. Justice practices direct greater trust, commitment, job performance, more helpful citizenship behaviors, customer satisfaction and diminished conflict. This study is a little effort to examine the effect of organizational justice on managerial effectiveness. The sample consists of 200 managers working in different organizations. The outcomes of stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the distribution of rewards, organizational policies and procedures and interpersonal treatment enhance managerial effectiveness of managers leading to positivity and productivity in organizations. We demonstrate the management of organizational justice with some suggestions for building fairness into widely used managerial activities such as performance appraisal, reward systems, conflict management, and downsizing.

The education of Schedule Castes and Schedule tribes and other backward classes in India has been the focal point of concern in the post-independent India. Although visible progress has occurred in the life of these students, the educational system failed to enable and encourage them to take full advantage of the available opportunities On social level, the parent's occupational status, educational level, parent's educational and occupational aspirations for their children, their attitudes and values and the demand of the school affected the performance adversely. Locus of control is one of the most studied variables in psychology(Rotter1990). Research has documented the important role internal locus of control plays in academic achievement. One of the variables that might contribute to variations in locus of control is parenting styles. Research conducted has shown links between locus of control and parenting styles. This study examined locus of control, parenting styles and academic performance of socially disadvantaged groups. Locus of control and parenting styles were used to determine which of these correlate with academic performance. 30 SC,30 ST and 30 General undergraduate students within the age of 18 to 21 yrs from 2 Govt. colleges of Jammu were selected as a sample. Data was collected by administering Rotter's locus of control scale while parental authority questionnaire by Buri was used to measure perceived parenting styles of college students, the overall average percentage achieved by them in class 5th, 8th, 10th , 12th was taken as their academic performance. Random sampling technique was used in the present study. The data obtained was analysed statistically and the study revealed that there is a significant difference in the locus of control, permissive, authoritarian parenting styles of SC, ST and General undergraduate students.

The alcoholism brings terrible consequences to the addict. Beside the known damages for the health, from cirrhosis to liver cancer, the alcohol is also harmful to spiritual and social health. The most dangerous is that the alcohol has been always considered as something sociable, always present in meetings, events, parties, and celebrations and even within our homes, without distinction of social class. The present paper reviews alcohol abuse, and its complications in the present scenario.

Most of the present day underdeveloped countries of the world have set out a planned programme for accelerating the pace of their economic development. In a country planning for industrialization and aiming to achieve a target rate of growth, there is a need for resources. The resources can be mobilized through domestic as well as foreign sources. So far as, the domestic sources are concerned, they may not be sufficient to acquire the fixed rate of growth. Generally domestic savings are less than the required amount of investment. Also the very process of industrialization calls for import of capital goods which cannot be locally produced. Hence comes the need for foreign sources. They not only supplement the domestic savings but also provide the recipient country with extra foreign exchange to buy imports essential for filling the saving investment gap and foreign exchange gap. FDI implies that the investor exerts a significant degree of influence on the management of the enterprise resident in the other economy. Such investment involves both the initial transaction between the two entities and all subsequent transaction between them among foreign affiliates, both incorporated and un-incorporated. Individuals as well as business entities may undertake FDI. Flows of FDI comprise capital provided (either directly or through other related enterprises) by a Foreign Direct Investor to an FDI enterprise, or capital received from an FDI enterprise by a foreign direct investor. FDI has three components, viz., equity capital, reinvested earnings and intra-company loans.

Special Economic Zones (SEZs) is one of the export promotion schemes of the government of India among Export Processing Zones (EPZs), Hundred Percent Export Oriented Industrial Units (EOUs), Technology Parks (TPs), etc. The Special Economic Zone is a geographical region which has more liberal economic laws than a country's typical economic laws. SEZ is an instrument of capacity development with the goal to promote rapid economic growth by using fiscal and business incentives to magnetize foreign investment and technology. In Asia, India was one of the first countries to recognize the effectiveness of the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) model in promoting exports. Hence, the first EPZ in Asia was set up in Kandla in 1965. The Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy was announced in April 2000, with a view to overcome the shortcomings experienced on account of the multiplicity of controls and clearances, absence of world-class infrastructure and an unstable fiscal regime, with a view to attract larger foreign investments in India. Apart from Central government, any private/ public/ joint sector or State Government can set up an SEZ. Before recommending any proposal to department of commerce, the State must satisfy themselves that they are in a position to supply basic inputs like water, electricity etc. SEZs have potential to play a key role in economic development of a country, as they did for China. In this paper an attempt is made to study the of SEZs. The paper is based on the secondary data. The impact of SEZs on different sectors is examined in the paper.
