In 1935 research workers interested in the improvement of study habits, they paid attention to the discovery of effective study techniques and tried to improve study skills and habits of work through ‘how to study’ courses and other systematic procedures. Cuff (1937) carefully derived study-habits inventory and found that it aids in finding the pupils in need of special guidance and helps to identify remedial work for the good and bad study habits of individual cases. Brown and Holtzman (1955) constructed a questionnaire to survey students ‘study habits', as well as their attitudes and motivation towards academic work. Items were compiled from group interviews with good and poor students, existing inventories on study habits, studies using observational and interview techniques and reports on related experiments in the field of learning. Scoring keys based on validity studies in ten colleges were developed. Study habits basically consist of effective methods of study (Sorenson, 1954). Study is the total of all the habits, determined purposes and enforced practices that the individual uses in order to learn.

...depletion, over harvesting of natural resources and the general degradation of social environment due to impairments of the physical environment (, 1992; , 1992). Consumers have had enough of these wrongful practices and hence, consumers are now actively seeking environmental performance in the products and services that communicate environment tal responsibility and stewardship ( 1999). In major international markets, consumers are demanding that firms produce increasingly higher quality products and services that are consistent with societal and environmental values if they wish to remain competitive in global markets ( 2000). Hence, consumers have become more discriminating...for green products and services (, 2001). A study shows that 66% of respondents have switched product brands in an effort to obtain more environmentally sound products (, 1995). The general public is concerned about the environment and that the majority of people see the integration of environment and economy as a win-win scenario (, 1996). As consumers demand more green products and services, corporations are finding the going green makes good business sense as well as good environmental sense ( 1997). Stakeholders, such as suppliers, government agencies, and other strategic partners, as a result, become much more concerned...

...Case Study 1: Ethics and Local Governance Introduction to Information Technology July , 2013 In 2007 a Transformational Government mandate focused on customer budget reductions of 3 percent year to year increasing the emphasis on regionally shared services for the London Borough of Brent. The area is approximately 270,000 citizens with the London Borough of Brent information scattered across numerous departments without the ability to share any of the information across the enterprise. The decision to create a master client index that will clean up duplicate and fragmented data files, improve operational efficiencies, there are over 1.5 million records of the 2700,000 citizens that will be matched and linked from several different databases, providing a real time view of each customer’s data, this process will be very beneficial and achieve optimal operational efficiency. The two potential ethics issues associated with the consolidation of citizen records in the London Borough of Bren. First the privacy of the information of the citizens within those records may contain intimate details about their lives that should be kept private would probably be my biggest ethics issues concern. Some people enjoy their privacy and don’t want their information readily available for people to see without their consent. Some of information of the citizens records listed within the database could be very sensitive and personal information about someone’s disabilities, medical records, mental...

...IT Consultation for Mr. Green Kenya Newton Cynthia Orth CIS 329 – Administering Desktop Clients Ethics and Local Governance Ethics has been defined as “moral principles that govern a person’s or group’s behavior”. Ethics affect different professions in different ways. Since citizen data is basically a bunch of records and files, I looked up a code of ethics for Record Managers locally and internationally. I found that there are multiple groups that work throughout the world helping governments with the records that they keep, the only one that I actually found that had a code of ethics was the Institute of Certified Records Management (CRM). The CRM’s code of ethics is extensive and very well put together. You have to actually become a member and if you are accused of unethical behavior you have to go through an ethical review board which determines if you can continue to use their designation. Two ethical issues that I believe are associated with the consolidation of citizen records in the London Borough of Bren are respecting the rights of privacy of individuals whose lives may be documented in intimate detail in those records and government agencies and other people can misuse the gathered information for their personal gain. The privacy issue would probably be my biggest concern since there can be very sensitive information about disabilities, mental and physical health issues, etc. listed in them. Government agencies can use the information to profile different...

...propensity to provide local food | | Student No. 09823206 | 8/12/2011 | HH300UWords: 2485 | It is apparent there is growing pressure from global, national and social stakeholders for businesses to become more sustainable in their practises. Although defining sustainable food consumption is fraught with difficulties it is widely accepted to include economic, social, cultural and environmental factors (Reisch 2010). A growing and contentious issue within this framework is the provenance and locality of ingredients within the food-related industries. A change in consumer attitudes towards more ethical consumerism is increasing pressure on food retailers to meet this demand. It could be said restaurants act as a medium for food producers to reach consumer markets, therefore present a suitable context to investigate this topic. Therefore this paper aims to investigate the contributing factors as to why restaurant operators may choose to either adopt or incorporate a ‘local’ ethos, and the rationale to cater for this contemporary trend. The government appears to be making some effort to help the local food sector grow. This could be a result of external pressure from the EU in their commitment to rural affairs (as seen in the recent Common Agricultural Policy reforms CAP 2003-2004) or simply more representative of the general publics growing environmental concern. The government may also have vested interests in a financial capacity as studies have revealed considerable...

...Brief Study of the Attitude of the Chinese State Toward NGOs - A Relationship of Dependent Autonomy Brief Study of the Attitude of the Chinese State toward NGOs: A Relationship of Dependent Autonomy (The study briefly focuses on the attitude of the regulative state which is providing the non-state actors some sort of dependent autonomy for its own existence. The following parts of the same discussion will be published elsewhere.) Asoke Kumar Mehera (aust35@gmail.com) (Teacher of Skills Institute, Australia) The principal focus of this brief article is to explore the Chinese state-centric attitude towards NGOs as part of the broader implementation of CSR strategies. I am going to concentrate on the emergence of local corporatist state framework, which is paving a new way for the autonomy of the NGOs. Although, Chinese state-centric model of CSR is contrary to the market-based model (US) and relational model (EU); but non-monolithic nature of the present state is contributing towards local government influence and control. The NGOs in Shanghai & Guangdong province indicates that local governments implement their own policy in the absence of higher-level guidance of central policy and the local states across all levels have a substantial interest and control in the work and operations of NGOs. It is essential to analyse the collaborative role of the local state at various levels – particularly at the municipal and district level – in pursuing the objectives and operational...

...Rural development, Economic sustainability, Trust, Farms, Retailers, United Kingdom Abstract ``Local food'' is attracting considerable policy and public interest, but evidence is lacking about the emerging contours of the local food sector. This paper offers a preliminary assessment of the local food sector in the county of Gloucestershire. Based on interviews with farmers and retailers, it investigates the scope of local food production in the county, assesses the nature of the local food chain and considers the potential of local food production and marketing for adding value for the various actors in the chain, from producer to retailer. Questions are raised in the conclusion about the coherence and sustainability of the local food sector in the county given the differences in the ways in which producers and retailers construct ``local'' and some unintended consequences of the efforts to promote local food. The local food sector Carol Morris and Henry Buller The local food sector 559 A growing enthusiasm for ``local food'' We believe that one of the greatest opportunities for farmers to add value and retain a bigger slice of retail prices is to build on the public's enthusiasm for locally-produced food, or food with a clear regional provenance (Policy Commission on the Future of Farming and Food, 2002, p. 43). The identification, by the Policy Commission, of ``local food'' as a rural development and farm income opportunity is...

...contribute to the income of the local government in a city, region, or country. Thus, festivals and events are special types of social activities; they are willing to travel to faraway places to be part of the festival and event. Tourists who attend a festival or an event stay in paid accommodations, dine in or out restaurants, participate in group activities, and purchase souvenirs and other ways of creating good memories and meanings. The flow of money will create jobs that will help build local economy. Studies on fest The overall purpose of this study is to explore the Paru-paro festival in Dasmarinas, Cavite and the perception of its residents. Festival impacts, as perceived by residents, have been an important aspect of the festival research because of the range of ways in which festivals benefit and cost the communities in which they exist. The research presented in this paper will examine the perception of the residents of Dasmarinas, Cavite on Paru-paro festival.

...Local Transport Plans: Case Study 2:1:b DEVELOPING A LOCAL GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT MASTERPLAN: CASE STUDY J. Lebo, World Bank (1999) Objectives of the case study National or state rural planning processes are often “top down”, technically sophisticated and, hence not geared to participation from local communities, those most affected. Involvement of local government is increasingly seen as being important to rural transport planning and engaging them in this process requires a balancing of the technical requirements of the process with local objectives and capacities. A Rural Transport infrastructure (RTI) planning process must be transparent and easily understood by local government planners who may have little grasp of the underpinning economics. The objective of this case study is to describe the development of a Local Government Transport Masterplan (LGTMP). 1. AN APPROACH TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT PLANNING In most developing countries, decentralization has meant that local governments are increasingly made fully responsible for the provision of local services, including health, education, as well as local roads. Concurrently, national or state road planning processes are often "top-down" and technically sophisticated, as well as ignoring the potential for local governments and communities to participate. The involvement of local governments, however, has been shown to be a critical element to the success of the RTI planning process. In practice, however, most local governments...

...problems and opportunities. It can also be conducted to improve processes, strategies and tactics. Conducting business research is essential to make sound business decisions. For example, in local government, conducting research on finances assists with budgeting and planning. Since I work in local government, I searched for articles on research studies within local government agencies and their financial performance measures. The research study I found is called, “Local Government Measurement and Use of Performance Accounting and Financial Reporting Data in Planning and Budgeting Decision Support” (2009). The study used a multi case study approach. The study was done to identify debt obligation performance in financial reports to assess the measurement of debt performance. The researcher selected three county government agencies to perform the study. The selection of the county agencies was based on history and similarity of the use of performance measures and the use of debt performance data in their budget decision making. The counties also share similar characteristics in city age, population, general fund revenues and geographic region. The counties selected for the study are Solano County in California, Prince William County in Virginia and Kent County in Michigan. The study used the Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports and budget for each county to examine the debt obligation performance. The researcher used these reports because they are audited and seem more...
