DWIVEDI** B. RAVISHANKAR*** B. K. ASHOK**** Institute for Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar. ABSTRACT : Âyurveda as well as Philosophies accepted the Guna as the basic entity of the Srishti.

...Office of Human Resources Diversity & Inclusion Activities Diversity and Inclusion activities are simple ways to get people talking and listening to one another. It is only through understanding each other that we truly gain knowledge and can move forward together. While we can’t always walk in someone else’s shoes, we can take the time to inquire about how the shoe fits and if its path is smooth or riddled with pebbles. Social Justice • PO Box 6031, 412 Knapp Hall • Morgantown, WV 26506 • 304-293-8948 http://socialjustice.ext.wvu.edu/ Objectives Office of Human Resources There are many reasons you may choose to use and icebreaker or activity: to warm up or relax your group, to bring your group back together after a break or intense session, to introduce the next segment or to present your group with challenges that, as a team (together or divided into small groups or teams), your group must either overcome or address. Age & Appropriateness Icebreakers and activities are adaptable to your group and situation. When considering an icebreaker or activity, be sure to keep specifics about your group in mind, such as age and meeting focus. Please don’t overlook an icebreaker or activity because you think the group is too mature for it. Many groups, once aware that it’s ok to relax and have fun, will enjoy the experience of “being able to let go,” if only for a moment. Icebreakers Icebreakers are exercises that are intended to help a group of people begin the...

...Harlan County: Assessment and Diagnosis Savanna Wynn NR443- Community Health Nursing March 29, 2014 Professor Hoenig “Doctors and drug companies feed the people of Harlan County drugs just like giving a baby candy. The drug problem in Harlan is so bad that the community lives in fear of what the drug addict is capable of doing. “You never know who is on drugs…people drooling…people taking from their parents and children, it’s awful” (Van Gundy, 2006, p. 22). In my community of Harlan, Kentucky where prescription drug abuse is running rampant, in what once was a safe community, people that once left their doors unlocked now lock up everything they own. Richard Clayton, an addiction expert at the University of Kentucky’s Center for Prevention Research reported to the Lexington newspaper, “This may be the first epidemic—if it is an epidemic—that started in rural areas” (Van Gundy, 2006, p. 22). People from many walks of life have struggles with addiction but in my small county it has taken over their lives, controlling their every move. Teenagers complain because there is nothing for them to do in this county, leading them to experiment with drugs. Coal miners complain of pain from working long hours in terrible conditions, leading them to self-medicate to alleviate the pain. There are many factors in my community that play such a huge role in the abuse of prescription drugs, pinpointing the problems and exposing them is what is needed to be done to help extinguish...

It shows the conceptual and research efforts that preceded it and led up to it, and once it had become a paradigm for comparing cultures, research efforts that followed and built on it. The article stresses that dimensions depend on the level of aggregation; it describes the six entirely different dimensions found in the Hofstede et al. (2010) research into organizational cultures.

This has made it quite imperative for contracting parties to analyse project delays for purposes of making right decisions on potential time and/or cost compensation claims. Over the years, existing delay analysis techniques (DATs) for aiding this decision-making have been helpful but have not succeeded in curbing the high incidence of disputes associated with delay claims resolutions. A major source of the disputes lies with the limitations and capabilities of the techniques in their practical use. Developing a good knowledge of these aspects of the techniques is of paramount importance in understanding the real problematic issues involved and their improvement needs. This paper seeks to develop such knowledge and understanding (as part of a wider research work) via: an evaluation of the most common DATs based on a case study...

...Introduction An ‘at-risk’ student is a young person at risk, or educationally disadvantaged, if they have been exposed to inadequate or inappropriate educational experiences in the family, school, or community. Many of these students are located in large, mainly urban high schools around the country (Balfanz, 2007). Urban high schools face five common problems: low student engagement, poor prior preparation, low ninth-grade promotion rate, low graduations rates, and isolation from the community (Herlihy & Kemple, 2004). When at-risk students are exposed to such environment everyday, they have a greater probability of dropping out of school (Princiotta & Ryan, 2009) Nationally, 1.3 million members of the public high school class of 2009 failed to graduate with a diploma with the majority of that population being African American, Latino, and Native American (Princiotta & Ryan, 2009). The majority of these populations attend schools in urban high schools in majority cities (Balfanz, 2007). Many schools do not have a system that identifies students who are at-risk of dropping out school, so these students are ignored. And even some schools that have indicators in place, they do not offer adequate assistance to help these students (Princiotta & Ryan, 2009). In urban high schools, difficulty transitioning from middle school to high school can increase dropout rates and reduce on-time graduation (Princiotta & Ryan, 2009). Recent studies show that most ninth graders that...

...Leadership Development Seminars and ECQ-based Readings The success or failure of any endeavor depends on leadership. Now, more than ever before, we need leaders in our organizations and in our world. Great leaders create and communicate a vision and move people into action to achieve it. They ignite our passion and inspire us to do our best. Government leaders in the 21st century are experiencing change at a more rapid pace than previous generations. Rapid advances in technology have expanded the quantity of work we are capable of accomplishing, and also where it’s accomplished. We have a more highly educated workforce, yet face diminishing resources with an increased demand for productivity, and the essential services we provide to the American public. To be successful at navigating these challenges leaders must develop the essential skills to motivate their employees, effectively communicate with others, fine-tune critical thinking skills, and build and leverage partnerships. Future leaders must also be visionary; i.e., possess the ability to identify trends and the courage to be innovative. Being technically adept in your field will no longer be enough. In response to these demands on senior executives, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management identified five Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) that all aspiring government leaders and executives must possess. These ECQs and Fundamental Competencies were developed by OPM after extensive research on the attributes...

The characteristics of each change (type, breadth, size, origin etc.) also influence the way change is planned and effectively managed. Despite the range of approaches to change management, some common factors for delivering successful change exist. These factors...
