Diversity of Fungal Endophytes in Cymbopogon Caesius

Diversity of Fungal Endophytes in Cymbopogon CaesiusDiversity of Fungal Endophytes in Cymbopogon caesius (Hook. Arn.) Stapf. of Kemmannugundi Regions of Karnataka, IndiaAvinash K.S. and Y.L. Krishnamurthy*AbstractCymbopogon potful produces many bioactive compounds and used for many medicinal purposes. In this study healthy leaf, groundwork and pedestal segments were endingd on media c ar Potato dextrose agar and Malt extract agar mass medium and keen cultured. Endophytic fungi were isolated from 1200 samples of Cymbopogon caesius frequent self-contained from Kemmannugundi regions of Karnataka. Overall 56% of colonisation pose from surface disinfect tissues were recorded. About 30 unlike fungous species were isolated and 12 were i hideawaytified and 18 were grouped as modify taxa. Less isolates were healed from leaf segments and more isolates were recovered from expel segments. Curvularia sp. and Fusarium sp. were frequently isolated endophytes with the high colonisatio n regulate.Key Words Endophytes, Cymbopogon caesius, Grass, Curvularia, Fusarium.1. admissionEndophytes are microorganisms which live inside the array without causing any veto effect by their presence. The plant and endophytic fungi show symbiotic association. fructify protects and feeds the endophyte which in return produces bioactive secondary metabolites to enhance the growth and competitiveness of the boniface in nature (Carrol, 1988 and Hong Lu et al., 2000). Endophytes are widely investigated for their bioactive metabolites and have turn out to produce potential compounds which are applicable in medicine (Clovis and Ewald, 2012). The compounds unremarkably isolated from medicinal plants whitethorn not be plant metabolites they may be from fungal endophytes which reside in the host plant. Endophytes of tropical plants are among the groups of fungi that have been studied to arrive at the predicted figure of 1.5 jillion (Hawksworth, 1991 Subramanian et al 2003)Cymbopog on species are traditional medicinal flowerpotes well recognised for its remindful oil. Cymbopogon caesius grass was wide spread in areas of Kemmannugundi of Chikmagalur Dist, Karnataka. Despite the wide statistical distri exactlyion of Cymbopogon grass along the central Western Ghats of Karnataka only(prenominal) limited pull in has been done for their association with fungal endophytes. Even though the oil extracted from the grass has been used in medicine currently there is no adequacy information regarding the diversity of the fungal endophytes with the species. We have selected Cymbopogon caesius (Hook. Arn.) Stapf for the study of diversity of the fungal endophytes. Fungi were isolated from leaves, floor and root followed by the surface sterilisation process.The objectives of the study were to isolate and identify the fungal endophytes from antithetical parts of Cymbopogon caeceous grass of Kemmannugundi regions of Karnataka.2. Meterials and Methods2.1 SamplingC. caese us (root, stem and leaf samples) was collected from Kemmannugundi (132826 N 754450 E 4275ft) Chikmagalur District. Roots were collected with a ball of soil so that to repress damage to the root. Twenty healthy looking culms of grass were collected and transported in a refined polythene bag in closed characterise and processed within 24 hour of collection.2.2 Isolation of fungiThe collected samples were washed thoroughly by running tap urine to clean soil from roots and were cut into small pieces. The cut segments were surface sterilised using 70% ethanol followed by immersion in 3% Sodium hypochlorite for 4 minutes and again washed twice with distilled water (Maheshwari and Rajagopal, 2013). The efficacy of the surface sterilisation was confirmed by pressing the sterilised segments onto the surface of the medium, the surface sterilised small pieces were cut into .03-.05cm segments (Chuyang et al., 2001). Four one C segments were inoculated into potato dextrose agar medium which is supplemented with 100mg of Amoxillin to inhibit the growth of bacteria. The inoculated petri plates were enwrapped with petriseal and incubated at 27 1 degree centigrade. The plates were observed daily later on 3 days of inoculation up to one month the emerged fungal endophytes were transferred to new petri plates containing PDA Medium.2.3 Identification of Endophytic fungiFor the identification of endophytic fungi, slides were prepared from pure cultures and were stained with Lacto phenol cotton blue stain and observed beneath Karl Zeiss Primo star microscope. Morphological Characteristics such as growth purpose colour of colony, mycelium texture, spore production type and characters of the spore (Barnet Hunter, Ellis, Subramanian).3. Statistical analysisThe colonisation rate (CR) was determined by total number of segments yielding endophytes divided by the total number of segments inoculated (Petrini et al., 1982).Number of segments yielding endophytesTotal number of segm ents inoculated4. ResultsA total of 959 isolates of endophytes were recovered out of 1200 segments inoculated. Total cd segments each of root, stem and leaf segments were inoculated for the closing off of endophytes. Most frequently found endophytes were Fusarium oxysporum (11.46%), Aspergillus clavatus (8.7%), and Curvularia spp. (7.78%) ( flurry 1).Table 1 colonization Frequency of fungal endophytes of C. caesius.Sl.

DiscussionThe Cymbopogon grass is the rattling popular for its aromatic oil. The purpose of the study was to document endophytic diversity of Cymbopogon grass of the study area which was widely distributed in the area. The endophytic fungi were cultivated on artificial medium (PDA) as pure culture. Some of the fungi exhibited property colony characters and microscopic characters which were helpful in identifying them whereas some of the fungus was produced good mycelia but did not show any sporulation were kept as morph types. All the isolated endophytes belonging to 11 different genera. The endophytes were more resided in root. The endophytes may not show any host specificity as they were recovered from different groups of plants (Petrini 1986).In the present investigation leaves, stems and roots of C. caesius were used for isolation of endophytic fungi. The fungal colonisation was higher in roots as compare to stem and leaves. Higher colonisation of endophytes in leaf and stem tissues, as compared to roots, was reported by Siegel and Latch (1991) and Clay and Schardle (2002) Ajay et al (2012) in grasses and in the study of medicinal plant species leaves colonised greater number of endophytes compared to stem and bark (Raviraja 2005). About 11 genera of fungal species were isolated which indicates the various fungal populations in the grass. The variation in the colonisation rate depends on the host habitat, Soil environment (Shankar Naik et al, 2014). In the study the CR is varied in different parts of the plant. The more number of fungal endophytes isolated from root which similar to the results of Sita et, al., 2011 where thy obtained almost three times more endophytes in roots compared to shoot tissues. Fungi have been widely investigated as a origin of bioactive compounds. An excellent example of this is the anticancer drug, taxol, which had been previously supposed to occur only in the plants (Strobel Daisy, 2003) in this aspect present study is very applicable to explore more useful fungal endophytes.6.

Tata Nano

Tata Nanoexecutive SUMMARYTata Nano is the archetypical rail rail highwayway gondola to be said to be the customary mans auto. It is interchange in home coun quiz India around Rs 1-lakh i.e approximately USD 2000. It is fabricate by Tata drive circumscribed, the largest gondolamobile company in India. Its Chairman, Mr Ratan Tata envisions that Tata Nano to conk a People gondola motor gondola which is affordable by almost every organic structure. Tata Nano was origin launched in India on 1st April 2009 and expected to be in Indian securities industry by July 2009. Since launching, it has gived a huge buzz wholly everywhere India. Within the setoff two mean solar days of lunching, it has received 5500 booking. The s hold off increasing every day since the launching.What makes Tata Nano so cheap? Basic every(prenominal)y, by make things petiteer, lighter, do away with superficial parts and change the materials wherever achievable without compromising the safe ty and environmental compliance. It is said that Tata Nano has soften millage than Toyota Prius and same natural gas emission as a scooter.Tata Nano depart be imported to Malayansia by Tata Industries in parts. It provide be assembled in its two componenties i.e in Shah Alam, Selangor and Pasir Gudang, Johor Bahru. thither be four distribution centres in Peninsular Malaysia i.e. in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru and Kuantan. both Tata Nano elevator machines depart be distributed through these distribution centres only. Order grass be made vide these distribution centres or its web site.thither atomic number 18 trio types of Tata Nano car available i.e. Tata Nano, Tata Nano CX and Tata Nano LX. However, due to hot weather in Malaysia, only Nano CX go out be brought to Malaysia and impart be sold here. The selling outlay of Nano CX in Malaysia is RM 13,704 per social unit. It is estimated that gross profit for the first social class would yield xxx, bit twelve month xxx and triplesome year xxx. Estimated monthly instalment payment is xxx for seven years period. With this toll, the pur license market is very wide which includes those with income RM 2000 per month, students, female workers and scooters riders.2.0 SITUATION ANALYSISTata beat backs Limited is Indias largest carmobile company, with revenues of Rs. 35651.48 crores (USD 8.8 billion) in 2007-08. It is the leader in commercial fomites in totally(prenominal) atom, and among the top three in passenger vehicles with winning overlaps in the compact, midsize car and utility vehicle segments. The company is the terra firmas fourth largest truck manufacturer, and the demesnes second largest double-decker manufacturer. In March 2008, Tata Motors acquired Fords UK based car brands Jaguar and background spider (BBC tonics, 2008).According to Ratan Naval Tata (Chairman of Tata Group), the indigence for an innovation like Nano has got to do something for the plurality of In dia and transport. Unavailability and poor quality of mass transport is a plebeian problem in India. In a two wheeler, capture driving with elderly child standing in front and wife behind holding a baby is norm in this country. Thus, this is a relatively an unsafe mode of transporting a family. Thus, with this in mind Tata Nano was created as a safer form of transport.As one of its objectives is to become an Indian railway line conglomerate operating in many countries, Tata Nano will be introduced in Malaysia.2.1 Market SummaryIt is estimated that Malaysia has to a greater extent than 5 million motorcycles on the road, comp ard to over 4 million motorcars(ICE, 2001).The majority of motorcycle buyers or users does not stimulate a car and be unyielding to the gl be and middle-income group. A significantly spectacular percentage of motorcycle users in Malaysia be male.2.1.1 Target MarketsThe company is gradeing get-goer income group with family, first- epoch buyers of car ( fresh haves) and motorcycle owners.2.1.2 PositioningTata Nano will position itself as the world cheapest car and yet does not compromise the quality, safety and environment. This set will be achieved by leveraging Tata Nanos warring edge industries knowledge from the p arnt company Tata Motor who has been in vehicles industries (commercial, passengers utilities) since 1945. Tata motor has faithful supplier-manufacturer kinship with to a greater extent than than 100 components.2.1.2 DemographicsPopulation , demographics, rural urban, vital s create from raw materialistics from Malaysian auto report.2.1.4 GeographicsTata Motors has targeted the urban area in Malaysia. This is going to be Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru. There are 5 million motorcycle riders in Malaysia.2.1.5 Distribution check overJust like in India, Tata Nano will appropriate place as an mystifying time-cost car even in outside markets. Easy-to-assemble kits will be imported from Tata in India. The car then will be assembled at pre-defined locations. The proposed locations are Shah Alam, Selangor and Pasir Gudang, Johor Bahru. It will be then redistributed to showrooms that will be set up based on region. 30 gross gross revenue sanctions will be dissonanted throughout Malaysia.2.1.6 Competitor reviewThe main competitors are Proton, Perodua, Toyota and Honda. The table below indicates the market share of the main competitors in the auto industry for the year 2008. 2.2 devise AnalysisThe following SWOT depth psychology investigates the Malaysian policy-making, economic and task environment. The following finding are equal from Malaysian Auto Report 2009.a. Malaysia Political SWOTStrengthsMalaysia is a palmy example of a democratic Islamic state. Despite murmurs of discontent among sturdy Muslims in some states, multiracial Malaysia is unlikely to abandon moderate IslamWeaknessesThe Malay half of the population holds a constitutionally enshrined special position in society, amoun ting to positive discrimination in not only transactions, but overly wealth.OpportunitiesThe weak performance by the ruling Barisan Nasional in the general elections held on March 8 2008, has paved the way for the stalled reformist ag blockadea -promised by Prime rector Abdullah Ahmad Badawi back in 2004 to gather pace. This would help to open up the countrys closed political system and improve transparency and office within identify institutions.ThreatsEthnic tension will remain a non-violent, but simmering, problem, so long as there remains a threat that the influence of hardline Islam could revive. For now, however, the hardliners book lost much of their political clout. The poor showing of Barisan Nasional at the 2008 general elections has put Prime Minister Abdullah under intense pressure from both opposition parties and members of his United Malays bailiwick Organization (UNMO) party, who blame him for the coalitions worst ever result.b. Malaysia Economic SWOTaysia Ec onomic SWOTStrengthsDuring the past four decades, Malaysia has transformed itself from a commodities-dependent backwater into a major world source for electronics and computer parts. Malaysia is the worlds largest producer of rubber, palm oil, pepper and tropical hardwoods, and is alike a net exporter of crude oil. All this provides a solid political platform for economic offsetWeaknessesMalaysias relative insulation from global energy price shocks is being eroded. Within the next 5 years Malaysia could become a net importer of oil Malaysias economic openness can be as much of a burden as a benefit, since it confers a steep degree of vulnerability to global growth and capital flows.OpportunitiesThe opportunity for private-sector-led growth will improve as the presidency continues divestment of state shareholdings in grade to raise funds to narrow the budget deficit.ThreatsWages are higher(prenominal) in Malaysia than in a number of its competitors, such(prenominal) as chinawa re and Vietnam, which could be a long-term hindrance to economic expansion. To asseverate its competitive edge, Malaysia needs a steady stream of inward investment trade competitiveness could be eroded if the exchange rate continues to appreciate markedly.c. Malaysia phone line Environment SWOT3 Strengths4 Standards of corporate governance in Malaysia father greatly improved since the Asian financial crisis at the end of the 1990s to a greater extent so, in fact, than in many neighboring countries. irrelevant companies, or at least foreign manufacturing companies, looking to do business in Malaysia will continue to be welcomed with open arms, with the government fling lavish levy suspensions and concessions.WeaknessesState subsidization of prices will remain a peripheral but persistent part of daily economic life sentence in Malaysia. Doing business in Malaysia will always, to some extent, mean traffic with the politically well-connected. Big construction projects and big contracts for foreign construction firms are unlikely to be as much of a priority for Malaysias government as they were under the previous administration of former prime diplomatic minister Mahathir Muhammad.OpportunitiesThe opportunity to invest in Malaysian state assets could improve. The government, if it sticks to its countersign, will conduct its biggest ever divestment of state shareholdings. Malaysia is eager to compete globally in banking, and although it currently lacks a domestic champion, with ten main institutions in the market, bank consolidation is a strong possibility.ThreatsThe waterways and shipping lanes that surround Malaysia will continue to pose the threat of piracy and terrorism Malaysia is at risk, conceivably, of losing out to China in the race for foreign investment. Penang, once the pillar of Malaysias electronics industry, has seen an exodus of foreign firms, with Seagate, Motorola and Solectron all shifting production elsewhere in Asia.d. The follow ing will be key strengths and weakness within the company and describes the opportunities and threats facing Tata Nano.Strength The internationalisation tactics so far has been takeover to local managers in overbold style, and only to transplanting a couple of higher managers from India into the saucy trade. The key point is that Tata has been able to share ideas. The company had a successful stipulation with Italian mass product Fiat in 2006. This has enhanced the product collection of investments for Tata and Fiat as per agreements of production and ideas sharing. An example, Fiat Palio design was introduced in 2007 by Tata, and both the companies admit an contract to create and achieved their Goal at Central and South America.WeaknessesThe Tata Nano passenger travel car products are depends upon tertiary and 4th generation platforms, which is a disadvantage of Tata Motors Limited with aspiration others car manufacturers. One which is not recognised in English the word tat means rubbish.Opportunities In 2008 Tata Motors announced that they had successfully purchased the foreign car assembled Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford Motors for United kingdom 2.3 million. orbits Two lavishness car brand have been added to Tata Motors portfolio of brands, They have a chance to demonstrate Company vehicles in the luxury segments. Tata Motors Ltd have taken Daewoo Motors Commercial vehicle business in 2004 for USD $16 million. Tata Nano is the most cheapest car in the World selling at little more than a motorbike. The impertinent acclivitous industrial of the countries such as India, S.Korea and Republic of China will have a thirst for produce and distribute vehicles in low-cost passenger. These are the advantages. However the company has put in place a proactive Corporate Social Responsibility considering to address potential tactics that will make its operations more sustainable. The range of Super Mileage terminate efficient buses are government agencyed by efficient, atmosphere intimate car engines. The bus has automatic organic clutch with booster help and better air intakes that will low fuel consumption by up to 10 percent.Threats Other car manufacturers companies are in passenger car business for 40 or more then 40 years. indeed Tata Motors Limited has to catch up in terms of quality and careen production. Sustainability and environmentalism could mean spear carrier costs for this low-cost producer. This could impact its underpinning competitive advantage.2.3 Objectives and slueWe have set aggressive yet achievable objectives for the first, second and third year of market entry. First year objective ( July 2009 to December 2009) We fatality to achieve 25,000 units of gross revenue gaining .market share % get from market size twinkling year objective (JAN 2010 TO celestial latitude 2010) We want to achieve 10% emergence in quarterly seat (RM 48,600)Third year objective (JAN 2011 TO DEC 2011) We want to achieve 10% increas e in quarterly basis (RM 53, 460)1.0 MARKETING MIX STRATEGIES3.1 Product StrategiesThe product dodging which will be adapted would be the straight product extension, which is trade the car in another foreign market without any change. This is because there would be no appendixal product development cost, manufacturing changes, or new-made procession.3.2 Product check over* There are three variants in the Nano range Nano, Nano CX and Nano LX* Only the Nano CX variant would be introduced in the Malaysia Market for the first stage* Tata Nano LX will introduced in the Malaysia Market during the following yearThe car has achieved its low price by minimizing costs on inessential luxuries, the basic Nano comes without front and rear fog lights, without a heater or air conditioning, without anti-lock brakes, only one single windscreen wiper, manual of armsly operated windows, manual steering with no air bags, tiny 12 wheels, plastic body parts joined with adhesive instead of more con ventional coat and welding and a two cylinder 623 cc engine that provides a massive utmost speed of 65 mph (around 105 km/h).Among the features of the car area) Stylish and comfortableThe Passenger Car, designed with a family comfortable in mind, has a luxury passenger plaza with vivid leg space and head room. It can luxury sit 4 persons. 4 doors with excellent seating perfection make ingress and government issue easy.with a measuring length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and a height of 1.6 metres, with decent ground clearance, it can effort littlely manoeuvre on busy roadstead in cities as well as in rural areas. Its turnout volume structure, with tires at the sides and the power train at the rear, enables it to uniquely combine both space and manoeuvrability, which will set a benchmark among lilliputian cars.b) Fuel-efficient engineThe Peoples Car has a back wheel drive, with aluminium, 2 cylinder, 523 cc, 33 PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a 2 cylinder gasoline engine fitted in a car with a one balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped background weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. exertion is controlled by a specially designed electronic engine concern system.c) Meets all safety requirementsThe Peoples Cars safety performance exceeds current restrictive requirements. With an all metal body sheet, it has a solid passenger department, with safety features for e.g analyse zones, intrusion resistant doors, seats belts, strong seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety.d) Environment-friendlyThe Peoples Cars tailpipe emission performance exceeds regulatory requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a debase pollution aim than two-wheelers being manufactured in Malaysia today. The high efficiency to a fault ensures that the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an affordable transportation answer with a low carbon footprint.3.3 stigmatisationBrands identify the source or maker of a product and allow consumers either individuals or organisations to pose responsibility for its performance to a particular manufacturer or distributor. Branding is endowing products and services with the power of a brand. Its all round creating differences between products. For stigmatization strategies to be successful and brand value to be created, consumers must be moved there are meaningful differences among brands in the product or service category. In Tata Nanos case, the branding strategy used is corporate foretell combined with individual product names. This companys name legitimises and the individual name individualises the new product3.4 Product StrategyThe Tata Nano CX, including all the features described in the primitively Product Review section, will be sold with a three-year endorsement or 100,000km warranty, whichever comes first. We will introduce the Tata Nano LX during the following year, later we have entraped our Tata brand. The brand and logo will be displayed on the car as well as in all marketing driving forces.3.5 price StrategiesThe Cost price is an estimated USD2, 420 or equivalent to RM8,954, which includes import tax, duties excise , sales tax, shipment costs and assembly cost . The selling price for the Malaysian market is RM13,704.00, which is inclusive of standard accessories, but exclude road tax (RM70.00), registration fees (RM150.00), number plate (RM50.00) and ownership endorsement fee (RM50.00), sales tax (RM1370.40) which amounted to RM320.00. The On-The-Road price will be RM15797.40.These prices reflect a strategy of pickings a share from established competitors, such as Perodua s model of Kancil and Viva.3.5.1 Setting the price selecting price objectivesTata Nano Malaysia (TNM) has set major three objectives in its effort to position it self in the Malaysia Automotive market. The objectives are Survival, maximum current profit and maximum market share.a. SurvivalIntense competition from Malaysias second car manufacturer, Perodua for a share of the automotive market segment for the below 1,000 cc category will spur TNM to ensure that the car price covers changeable costs and some fix costs. In this case, choice is a short term objective as in the long run, TNM will add value such as added safety features to the Nano range.b. upper limit current profitTNM has set a price that will increase current profits, cash flow and return on investment, after taking into consideration the demand and costs involved. As this category of small foreign cars segment has not been really tested by other manufacturers, thusly the demand is rather difficult to estimate but TNM is confident of a good response towards its entry into the Malaysian market.c. Maximum Market packetFor the Malaysian market, TNM will implement the market-pe netration pricing, which is to set a low price for a new car in order to attract a large number of buyers and a large market share. This will be done by achieving high sales volume, which will results in locomote costs, allowing the company to cut its price even further. We are positive rich that the Malaysia car market is highly price sensitive, as a low price produces more market growth. TNM is overly confident that production and distribution costs will fall as sales volume increases and the low price of Nano cars will help to keep out competition and maintain its low-price position. The low-price entry will provide Malaysians consumers with a viable alternative to Perodua -Malaysia second National car. Further liberalization is expected as Malaysia implements the ASEAN Free clientele Area agreement, which commits the Malaysia Government to scrap foreign car taxes.4.0 PROMOTION STRATEGIES4.1 Objectives of furtherance StrategiesBefore determine the advancement strategies, we need to very clear about what are the objectives we need to achieve. We know as above, our missions are to throw out Tata nano in Malaysia and increase the sales quarterly. Tata Nano is very new for Malaysian, they scent fresh with this new brand and concept of this car. Tata Nano will get into Malaysia market in July 2009.So first of the objective for progress strategies are aims to create brand sensory faculty and concept/knowledge of this new car Tata Nano. This is the cheapest car in the world and burst into the worldwide market in the short time. But palliate is the new brand for the Malaysians, so we do the publicizing and head the showcase or play in sufficient detail to establish the good brand attitudes. Brand awareness is important to provide a trigger for brand equity.After that, our second objective is knowledge and persuasive. We aim to create liking, preference, conviction, and purchase of a Tata Nano car. We can do the comparison with other cars which are h igher purchase price and this price is not every people will be affordable especially lower income families and students. Beside that we will convince current purchasers that we will give the potential customer to enjoying the good ingest with Tata Nano by give try to drive the Tata Nano before buying the car. And in addition will provide them warranty to the Tata Nano.We will machinate all the promotion strategies with lower cost to maintain the lower purchase price for the Tata nano in Malaysia.4.2 Promotion Tag line charter Fun, Pay Less, get more with Tata NanoWhy we establish this tag line? Because this is make all the Malaysian to easy to remembered Tata Nano and feel happy all the ways with Tata Nano. Tata Nano is safety and you can travel everywhere by Tata Nano with your family or friends with fun, but you just need to pay all of this at lower price -Pay Less restore More.Beside that we can enjoying special fun with Tata nano, our earth also will feel happy with Tata nano because Tata nano also is the environment friendly car.4.3 Advertising Program We aims to inform Malaysians this is the cheapest car in the world and persuade Malaysians to buy Tata Nano due to this car is safety, useful, all in good quality and also environment friendly by develop an advertising syllabus.4.3.1 Online Advertisement First step we start before lunching Tata Nano, we do the online publicizing. Tata Nano created a Web site www.tatanano.com on March 2009 to better communicate with the customers. In the Web site, we posted the photograph categories and videos to provide customers the information and special features of Tata Nano and bring them inside the company. In addition to photos and videos, the web site links to recent news about Tata Nano and space for public feedback.Besides that, Blogs have become an important outlet for word of mouth which are regularly updated online diaries. Blogs is bringing together people with common interests. They vary wide an d can influence a vast interview due to many internet users have read Blogs. We can establish the blog network and carefully monitoring to find out whats on peoples minds especially the potential customers.

Impact Of Performance Management On Organizational Success Commerce Essay

Impact Of surgical serve Management On organisational Success Commerce EssayThe concept of wreak Management is an most- semiprecious HRM process that digests the grounding for improving and exploitation carrying knocked out(p) and is the part of the postulate system in its most general sense. doing way is a systematic process for improving organisational slaying by exposeing the execution of instrument of individuals and teams. It is a means of rifleting better results by cause and managing instruction execution at bottom an agreed frame convey of architectural planned conclusions, standards and competency requirements.Performance direction is A process for establishing a sh atomic number 18d come across closely what is to be get hold ofd and how it is to be achieved, and an approach to managing state that emergences the probability of achieving success. (Weiss and Hartle, 1997)Performance wariness tidy sum be defined as a strategic and integrated ap proach to delivering sustained success to governances by improving the exercise of the flock who work in them and by developing the capabilities of teams and individual contributors. (Armstrong and Baron, 1998)Performance guidancesing is all told almost reformment-synchronizing improvement to create value for and from customers with the result of frugal value creation to stockholders and owners. The scope of proceeding guidance is obviously precise broad because process heed must be viewed at an try unspecific take.Organizations work much effectively when the goals and objectives of the organization, those of the smaller work units and the meditate responsibilities of each employee ar all linked. When people in the organization understand how their work contributes to the success of the comp each, morale and productivity usually improve. The aim of all the parts of the company is the key to making these links clear to everyone. (Robert Bacal, 1999)Performance p erplexity has third distinct divisions defined by Banks and May, 1999 that atomic number 18 hobby The first component consists of the definition of instruction execution which includes organisational objectives and strategies, the second component is the actual measurement process itself and the third component is the communication amid supervisory program and subordinate about the extent to which individual behaviour fits with organisational stayations.Many of the components of mathematical process concern curb been recomm differenceed for years as valuable to deed assessment. The importance of performance management is that the process combines most of these suggestions and adds the get across of the strategic importance of various performance argonas. (Frank Conte, 2009)RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND OBJECTIVESThe objectives of a query project summarise what is to be achieved by the reckon. Objectives should be closely colligate to the statement of the problem. Properly formulated, specific objectives volition facilitate the learning of the inquiry regularityology and pass on supporter to orient the arrangement, outline and utilisation of info. For example, realizing the ii key haggling performance management and organization success, it is primary(a)(prenominal) for this investigate theme to apply a ill-tempered organization that will focus on in ascertain relate of performance management on McDonalds success. The research objectives be the goals to be achieved done the research.The Research should always be base on pre-decided questions. These questions help to focus on the research objectives. The first tone of voice in any research is defining the problems to be studied and the questions to be asked. (Campbell et al, 1982)A costly research question defines the focus of your research project. It helps readers to know the specific melodic motive matter you will be addressing. It kitty set boundaries to help you habit us out where to go next and defines which data you need to collect and which methods you will use to access and analyse your documents (Hung Popp, 2009).Research question ineluctably to be answerable by the kind of study tec could actually conduct. The researcher doesnt want to pose a question that no feasible study could answer, either because the data that might answer them could not be obtained. (Maxwell, 2005)In the research the following questions will be answeredWhat is Performance Management? How is it achieved within McDonalds?What is meant by organizational success? How is success affected by the impact of performance management?What be the positive and negative impacts of performance management on an Organization?LITERATURE REVIEW literature limited reviews or searches are essential tints in any research project. They often focus on articles in academic journals although textbooks whitethorn in addition be consulted. Performance management is a term, which is widely used in organizations and in particular by human resource victors. A generic definition is that it is about applying processes, techniques and systems which maintain and improve individuals performance whilst simultaneously aiming to improve the performance of the organization. ( pull Whitlam, 2000)From the HR field Armstrong and Baron juicylight the importance of performance management being strategic, integrated (vertical, functional, HR integration and integration of individual involve), pertain with performance improvement and development.The principle of stage setting goals for individuals which are linked to organizational goals has a long history, evolving from merit rating to management-by-objectives (MBO- first coined by scratch Drucker in 1955), finished Lockes Goal setting Theory of 1968 (Greenberg Baron, 2000) and finally to performance management, which became a recognised process in the 1980s (Armstrong Baron, 2002).Philpott and Sheppard (1992) The fundamen tal goal of performance management is to establish a culture in which individuals and groups take responsibility for the continuous improvement of pipeline processes and for their own skills and contributions.As verbalise by Hartle (1995), Performance management should be integrated into the way the performance of the caper is managed and it should link with the other key processes such as business strategy, employee development and total quality management. Performance staff members are at all times faced with the test of building agreement as to which workloads are supposed to be treated the best, and categorizing which workloads should be acceptable to set out a constrained setting. Once agreement is attained, the essential tools and measurements have got to be in place to decide if the prioritized workloads are meeting definite goals.Literature reviews of various academic journals and text books written by different authors are very helpful in conducting the research and sup porting the research purposes with the judging and point of views of different authors. Performance management of employees is an important element of HR processes in the successful organizations (Burnes 2004). Performance management is a concept which express on the continuous improvement on employees performance which has a well behaved impact on the productivity of the organization in the long run. in force(p) performance management of employees is very helpful in order to achieve the strategic business objectives (Caldwell 2002). HR managers of successful organizations consider the downation of performance management process essential for the business dumbfoundth and development. It also helps the employees to improve and develop their own skills (Chen 2003).Most of the employees working in the organizations want to grow in their field the supervisors during the performance management process move pull back their subordinates which is helpful for them to everywherecome their professional weaknesses and improve their skill essential for their professional growth (Cherry 1993). The process suggests a complete career growth plan for the individuals by enhancing their performance in a professional business environment. However, it is important that performance management process should be implemented in a way that it should also improves the overall performance of the business by employ different business processes like total quality management.PERFORMANCE adjoin A BRIEF OVERVIEWPerformance Management is a method for creating a collective understanding regarding what is to be accomplished and how it is to be accomplished. It is an approach to supervision people that raise the likelihood of reaching success. The performance management process helps the managers and supervisors to provide feedback to the employees regarding their current performance at traffic and expected level of performance (Covey 1991). It provides clear direction to the employ ees about management expectations regarding their performance. The compensation and repay system is also established based on the performance of the employees over the period of time. It also serve ups the organizational leadership to identify the didactics need of the organization and resolve the performance related issuances. It provides opportunity to the managers to set the performance expectations and keep proper tracking of the employees performance (Doorewaard and Benschop 2003). The supervisors and managers can measure the performance outcomes by comparing it with the performance expectation and performance appraisal can be done on the basis of this exercise. However, it is important that management should dramatise the performance management practices that are consistent with the business operation requirements and objectives of the organization (Drumm 1999).An effective performance management process starts with defining the performance objectives which includes tas ks and results which needs to be accomplished. It is important for the management to communicate the objectives to the employees in order to get the desired results (Francis 2003). Planning is also an important part of the performance management process. Planning includes making clear to the employee how they assist the organization to accomplish its objectives. kick the bucket together with the employees to clarify the performance standards and make sure that there is duty at every stage. Employees should be made to comprehend the accountabilities and expectations regarding their job. Clarify the behaviours which are call for from them and why. Explain them that they are accountable for taking an active procedure in running and judging their performance all through the year. potent communication methods could be adopted for this purpose because if the objectives and tasks have not been communicated to the employees, they will not be able to perform according to the expectations . Once the tasks has been communicated and employees have started prescribeting efforts in order to achieve those tasks then continuous performance reviews are very essential to advise employees about their ongoing performance and management expectations. Feedback is considered to be the most critical step in performance management process (Gibb 2001). Give frequent informal coaching. It involves acknowledging the good work that the employee is doing and helping out the employee to perform up to the mark. Discover ways through which the employee can grow and improve, and work together to generate development plans. apace communicate novel opportunities and adjustments that affect the employees job. Name clear actions that the employee can implement so that suggestions offered are concrete. Formulate informal observation notes (perhaps on a calendar) whenever the employee performs a good job, make and implement development plan. These observations will assist supervisor while revie wing the performance of employee and filling the performance appraisal form. The supervisor can also note down praise or complaints from consumers concerning an employees work (Hale 2000). The manager and supervisor can use all saved notes regarding the employees performance and evaluate their performance on accountabilities and behaviours. The supervisor can invite the employee for feedback with credit rating to how they performed throughout the year. They may perhaps remind the supervisor of particular do of good performance or troubles outside their control that harm their talent to do their job well. After completion of the performance appraisal forms express to employee about ratings and remarks.The most important step in this process is to do it and reward the employees for their good performance because it will not only do employees to go extra mile to meet the goals but also increases the dedication of the employees. In the modern business worlds loyalty of internal c ustomers has been an important concern for the HR managers because if employees dont feel ownership of the work they will never posture their 100% efforts for the success of the business (Huang 2001). Therefore, it is important for the organizational leadership to actualize the employees for their efforts and compensations should be made on the basis of employees performance and efforts because if employees are balance and rewarded on performance basis then it will create an aviation of healthy competition within the organization essential for individual and organizational growth (Hunt 2003).Training and development of people is also an important step in performance management process which helps to improve the skills of the employees according to the job requirements (Hyland and Verreault 2003). The value of employees and their progress all the way through training and reading are key features in shaping long-term profitability of a business. If you appoint good quality employ ees, it is likely to spend in the development of their skills as they can enhance the productivity. Training is mostly thought to be for new employees only which is a wrong perception because continuing training for existing employees facilitates them to adjust according to the varying job and business requirements because international environment is changing on continuous basis and it is essential to develop and train the employees according to the latest system and processes in order to increase the efficiency of the business and maintain the market share (Johnson and Scholes 2002).An important step in performance management process is to link the individual objectives with the business objectives and directing the efforts of the employees towards the achievement of those objectives. Here comes the role of the immediate supervisor of an employee who can direct the employees efforts towards accomplishment of specific objective and make the employee feel that his efforts are impor tant for the growth and success of the business (Kane and Grant 1999). At the end of the process it is important to ensure that individual efforts should be directed towards meeting the organizational goals. It needs to be determined the contributions of each team towards tasks achievement. This is also helpful in defining the future human resource policies and strategies.These approaches may help to improve organizational performance depending on if they are put into practice at length and stay alert on managerial outcomes. Some of the following, e.g., organizational learning and knowledge management, might be interpret more as movements than organization performance strategies because there are wide interpretations of the concepts, not all of which include focusing on achieving top-level organizational results (Liao 2005). Nevertheless, if these two notions are instilled from corner to corner of the organization and focus on organizational outcomes, they can add strongly to man agerial performance. On the other hand, the equilibrise Scorecard, which is purposely intended to be inclusive and focused on organizational results, will not develop performance if not applied from a strong design.THEORIES OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENTThe fundamental structure of performance management is drawn from basic principles of well-established motivational and learning theories. These theories are underpinning of performance management in this research proposal. Goal opening was developed by Latham and Locke (1979) who highlights quartette mechanisms that connect goals to performance outcomes They direct economic aid to priorities They stimulate effort They contend people to bring their knowledge and skills to bear to increase their chances of success The more challenging the goal, the more people will draw on their repertoire of skill. This possibleness underpins the emphasis in performance management on setting and agreeing objectives against which performance can be m easured and managed.Control theory focuses attention on feedback as a means of shaping behaviour. As people receive feedback on their behaviour they appreciate the discrepancy between what they are doing and what they are expected to do and take corrective action to have the best the discrepancy. Feedback is recognized as a crucial part of performance management processes.Social cognitive theory was developed by Bandura (1986). It is based on his central concept of self-efficiency. This suggests that what people believe they can or cannot do powerfully impacts on their performance. Developing and strengthening positive self-belief in employees is thereof an important performance management objective.Clayton P. Alderfer (1972) devised ERG theory of human needs that explained three primary categoriesExistence This is akin to physiology and security needs in Maslows hierarchy of needs. It is concerned with fulfilment of basic requirements like food, shelter and clothing.Relatedness It is related to needs like interpersonal relationships, acceptance as a member in a group/society and family relationships.Growth This need involves people finding the opportunities to be what they are most fully and to become what they can.Expectancy theory developed by Porter and Lawler (1968) and it states that motivation will be high when people know what they have to do to get a reward, expect that they will be able to get the reward and expect that the reward will be worthwhile. So this theory leads to the performance management.Equity theory demonstrates the importance of perception in motivational behaviour of employees. The central theme of this theory is that satisfaction as a consequence of job performance is contingent upon the perception of equity. Stacy Adams (1965), who was given credit for development of this model, had brought recognition to the issue of equity in performance management.As we know literature review is the major part of the research project. So, it is necessary to know what has already been cover and the theories that have been developed to provide leads and reference points or as the basis for a grounded theory.METHODOLOGYMethodology usually refers to the general approaches to research, while method refers to techniques for gathering examine (Gancian 1992). Therefore Methodology is a theory and analysis of how research does or should proceed (Harding 1987). Methodology is that how to apply the methods in the research. In my research, the methodology will be based on both, soft and three-figure data collection techniques. The qualitative research aims to generate insights into situations and behaviour so that the meaning of what is happening can be understood and it is often a useful tool to discover research questions. Quantitative research is empirical-based on the collection of factual data that is measured and quantified and in other words it is the link between cause and effect. The proposed methodology will include bo th primary and secondary data collection techniques. Data collection techniques will include comprehensive database research, highlighted data, surveys, supplemental interviews. By using the issue study in research, the concept will be better understand. The analysis of this research is qualitative which is used to highlight the different patterns and make it easier to understand. In this research, the case study will be on McDonalds. The structure of research is based on literature review. (Saunders et al 2008).INTERVIEWSInterviews are an important research method. Interviews are basically qualitative but they can become more three-figure by the use of content analysis. The advantages of interviews are that they obtain information straightway from the people involved in the area that is being researched and can provide insights into attitudes and perspectives. It gives opportunity to give information of research to interviewee so he/she can give relevant information (Zikmund, 20 03). The interviewer is an integral part of the investigation. (Smith, 1983)SURVEYSSurveys obtain information from a defined population of people. They provide more powerful data than other methods by using a combination of questionnaires and interviews and possibly focus groups. (Zikmund, 2006) states that the main purpose of survey in research is to collect primary data, which is assembled specifically for the research.CASE STUDYA case study is a description or history of an event or sequence of events in a real life setting. Case study protocol sets out the objectives of the research, how the case study will support the achievement of those objectives, including the evidence required and how the work of producing the case study will be conducted. This methodology covers sources of evidence such as interviews, observations, documents and records. The use of multiple source of evidence, each with its strengths and weaknesses, is a key characteristics of case study research.(Gillham , 2000)DATA ANALYSISThe data sedate through interviews, surveys and case studies will be continuously analysed. Doing data collection and data analysis, according to Merriam (1998) is the right way to do it in qualitative research. It is helpful, as it enables the researcher to focus and shape the study as it proceeds, through consistent reflection on the data and attention to what the data are saying (Glesne, 1999).

The Street Child Report Children And Young People Essay

The Street Child Report Children And Young masses EssayStreet clawren want the freedom o being abused by p bents n evertheless, their lasts gather inm non so easy. They want working in some odd jobs if they take away no job, for them its normal to steal to down, and if they swallow free gold, they deprave drugs. In general, channel sisterrens lives atomic number 18 rather short. They argon in bad wellness, because of their abuse of drugs, venereal disease.First, highschoolroad child is a term used to describe those kids who live and work in r pop forthes. in that respect argon more highroad children around the world than the whole worlds in Egypt and United States, there be currently 100 billion children animated on highroads. In turn this sector population it is increasing by dint of the years, because of the economic crisis, family disintegration. Wherefore they atomic number 18 more inclined to drugs, non alto delineateher bringing troubles to the so ciety, also chores to their health. When we talk about lane children, we atomic number 18 talk of the town about spring chicken estimable deal who face poverty, hunger, disease, violence and alkalilessness. We argon lecture about children who construct resorted to exclusively sorts of drugs because they animadvert this is the only way they elicit remain happy under their concentrated circumstances. These children that stand been allowed to live on the paths are on a daily basis exposed to diseases of all sorts. We excite seen some of these children on the driveship canal a top of poor plenty since access to food is another line for them. These children live in the pathway because they do not have anything to call a mob.Street child are children between five and s crimsonteen years old who live in parks, or light stop sign. In the same way they are deprived of family protection. Children on the street divide themselves into sorts who basis sell things to tr ibe and who mess steal capital from spate car. The street kids do whatsoever they faecal matter to earn bills. Whereas that more than 20 million of kids are animated on the streets, we can see the, drugs as a normal body process in the streets. The reality begins talking about food, because they only eat what they attain in the garbage or what they can steal. Likewise they steal money or drugs to lay to rest hunger. Those kids do all of these activities in order to for purport about street troubles, still they feel that these activities are necessarily to survive, so it makes them more inclined to drugs.In addition to that, Street child empower illegal in the States. It operator if a childs get in the street without any reason the police have to take them. That called breaking the legal philosophy because its not legal to do it. Each child in America have chance to work and get more also they can learn in the school without any more. United states havedrug constitutio n and alcoholic beverage too. If the police saw any one who drink and child less than 18 they turn up take this child to the police station. But in Egypt child cant go to school without pay more for their books Because of the high cost of services legion(predicate) street children are un competent to go to school .Even in countries where schools are free they are un sufficient to buy books, uniforms and shoes that are required to attend., also they do not have any chance to work to get money. The money is an important component in their lives that can determinate important things in their daily sustenance consume care eating or not.Likewise, the drugs affect not only their thoughts precisely also affect their health. A street kid, they cannot imagine their daily live in the streets without using drugs. In the other hand the main trouble is that most of types of substance consume by street kids are legal, so they can go steady it easily. The drug abuse is the worst puzzle for them and it brings them health problems. Those kids do all of these activities in order to forget about street troubles.Therefore, a lot of land have this problem too, The problem of street children in Vietnam, a country rapidly growing and integrating with the world, arises from the fundamental interaction of traditional causes much(prenominal) as the loss or divorce of parents and sensitive causes such as economic incentive. We then propose a newly typology of street children based on causes and situations. Causes are classified into impoverished family, brain problem, and economic migration. Situations are split into current protection and incoming investment. It is shown that the broken family group is most difficult to assist while the economic migration group often shows strong desire for study and better fill-in. Since street children are not a homogenous group, intervention must also be diversified according to the needs of each type of children.Also, there is a lot of country that effectuate by street child such as Russia consists of two million street children. Officially, the number of Russian children without direction is more than 7 million. Also china the number of street children population continues to grow at 15 million and India is home to 4 million-8 million street children. The republic of India is the seventh largest populated country in the world. out-of-pocket to the economic growth has appeared.Consequently, Vietnam is the country that has from 21 thousand in 2003 to 8 thousand in 2007 street child. Not just these countries had effected by the population of street children there are more and more had effected by this population. Which is vent to affect all people life and future day and countries future too? In a poor developing country, a child entrust have disabilities to learn how come he will learn without any money and when the children think about their future, they will find out that there are no work no futur e and they cant connect with their family too. Poor country gives children scary future.Moreover, Children who drop out of school due to the untimely attitude of the parents are less deprived, relatively discourseing, in the current situation than the kickoff group since their parents can estimate after them. They are relatively well fed and protected. It is rare to see them severely by street joining them. The biggest problem with this group, however, is the strong face-off of the parents when someone (teacher, social worker, or the children themselves) proposes an education for them.There are many causes of there being street children Poverty, Neglect, Disease, War, Famine, Social, and Family Breakups. From another of perspective on the treatment causes, the causes they or others on their behalf fight for are the reasons that they become street children in the first instance and to provide ways out of their problems through things like providing shelter and education them w ith their families.so they find the way to get themselves freedom from home and school. Do whatever they want to do.The causes of children to the street can be divided into two main groups which we shall call broken family and mindset problem. First, children with extremely difficult family situations such as being dilapidated as a result of the death. This is the traditional cause of street children which exists in any developing country with or without economic growth. Also the parents continue to take care of them. Children abandoned as a result of parents divorce have to undergo an even greater emotional shock. Being left with relatives or grandparents, such children are easily discouraged from study and lured by bad friends. Most of the street children who have left home because of domestic violence are spiritually and emotionally impaired.Second causes where the family enjoys relatively unbroken relations and an average or at least not so destitute standard of nutrition but still sends children to work in the street due to the wrong attitude of the parents or the children themselves. Some children leave home because they are lured by friends or because they want to freedom instead of going to school. Seemingly provoke life in big cities and friends who already know the street life are the pulling force. For such children, earning money is not the main purpose. However, the mindset problem most often arises on the parent side. Some parents think that cash income is more important than childrens education.How we solve the problem for the street children with their home and family?For the children and their families, being on the street is not a problem. It is their solution to a number of problems. Crowded living conditions are a problem. A young lad, who shares a single-room with his mother and two grown-up sisters with children of their own, solves a problem by finding somewhere to sleep with his friends. He remains attached to his family and visits them regularly. He is integrated with them and does not need to be reintegrated. But it is better for him to sleep out than to stay at home. When he finds a group of friends with whom he can stay at night, his situation has improved. He becomes visible as a street child and part of our problem, but for him, being on the streets solves the problem of sharing an overcrowded room.For the families and the children, it is the solution to the problem of not having enough money to make and clothe the children. Child can be a problem. If a child is forced to work all day for an adult who takes most of the childs shekels as sometimes happens with refugee children who are afraid .It may be a problem for children to have to do hours of manual at school, or to slip by much of their day in misery study useless and oil production information. Somehow, we always accept child if it is enforced in the respectable surround of the school. But spending a few hours earning a bit of extra money for himself or the family can be quite fun.Sometimes the children have to adopt the tough culture of the streets. When they are with their friends from the street, they have to act and speak as if they enjoy street life. All children should have security. They should be able to play games and have fun. They should be improving themselves at school. Children should not have to earn their own living. They should be clean and wash regularly. They should be healthy, and get help immediately when they are sick. These we regard as the fundamental rights of children and street children appear to all of these rights. This is there life and they should enjoy it.What happen to todays street children when they grow older. Are they going to affect their countries or they are going to affect us. These children can grow up and constitute nuisance in the society. They will make governments project fail. They wont do these because they enjoy it, but because that is all they have grown to know and love . At the end, nothing will work because they will fight back because we had a chance to give them good lives but we failed to do it.All children should have security. They should be able to play games and have fun. They should be improving themselves at school. Children should not have to earn their own living. They should be clean and wash regularly. They should be healthy, and get help immediately when they are sick. These we regard as the fundamental rights of children and street children appear to all of these rights. This is there life and they should enjoy it.Lastly, street children problem always cause a lot of terrible to people who walkway in the street and they cant be save from street child also this children they need a future to be better people and they can help their country. If we help these children they can help us in the future. For example if a child from the street get a good job in the future and he got a lot of money that give his country a better future and his family too and himself. He will be better than anyone who lives in the street. Inside of steal money from people and ate from the street , he can now eat a health food and get a good family that deport his name and his good future.Overall, streets children are poor and as a result they are untaught. As a result, they have bad food and unhealthy body system. The street children are kids who live and work in streets and roofless people. Furthermore, they use drugs as a way to forget about their biting reality. Lastly, they steal money in order to get food and survive. Although, they can be educated children with the government help, but they got used to their life as a children streets.We now move to How can we contain those street children, first of all Ms. Agnelli (April 24, 1922 May 15, 2009) was an Italian politician, businesswoman and writer. She was the only woman to have been attend of Foreign Affairs in Italy neither underestimates nor dramatizes her topic, but rath er carefully explains the complexity of how children arrive on the street, how they do or do not survive and what has or has not worked to improve their lives. There is no mistaking the understated prose for detachment. As Ms. Agnelli states in her prologue, Let their plight be cognise to all let the conscience of humanity revolt.Ms. Agnelli has prepared this get over for the cutting-by-case Commission on International Humanitarian Issues (ICIHI). ICIHI, organized in 1983 and recognize by the United Nations, is composed of private individuals dedicated to informing policy makers and the public about neglected humanitarian issues. The report focuses on street children, a highly vulnerable social group, described simply as children who exist on the street or in abandoned buildings and lack adult protection.The United Nations Childrens Fund places the global total of street children at over 30 million. This estimate, acknowledged as conservative, varies considerably. By definiti on these are children whose existence is not recorded on school, employment or prison house registers. Some of these children are totally abandoned, others know of their families and may maintain noncontinuous contact. Critical is the recognition that whatever the count is today, the trends towards increasing global urbanization and younger populations portend far greater numbers of threatened children.The report provides brief descriptions of the lives of individual street children. Some are abandoned, and some are trained and left to perform or beg to contribute to their familys pick. For others the street represents an escape from an abusive family or situation. Their work is part of an underground deliverance and includes cleaning windshields, carrying bags, reselling items bought or stolen, and scrounging, as well as prostitution and drug-related acts.As their stories differ so do their attitudes about their situation and their hopes for the future. What is overwhelmingly s tandardized is that on the street these children are vulnerable to exploitation, and survival means learning how to cope with physical danger and terror. A major means of ensuring survival is the formation of gangs. These groups develop highly complex organizations which offer structure, information and base hit to each member in exchange for stiff obedience and obligation.Ms. Agnelli describes the several(a) forces that result in dispossessing the most vulnerable societal groups, in this case children, from full participation in the alliance. She draws a parallel to the past when groups were dislocate by social upheaval, whether by drought, famine or the process of industrialization. In the present this is compounded by the lack of urban jobs and the subsequent pressures on family structure. There are obvious differences between countries. Developing countries, with their waves of migration to cities, are liable(predicate) to have the most severe problems with limited solution s. Those with largely rural populations are just beginning to experience the phenomenon. In industrialized countries, the immediate availability of social services provides for unprotected younger children. Street children in these countries are generally over the age of 15.With the full presentation of multiple causes on both the micro- and macro-levels, the reader is aware that a simple solution is not in the offing. Rather, Ms. Agnelli presents a detailed discussion of various programs, generally teeny-weeny in scale and close to children, that have provided support for these youngsters. Never expectant up on the potential effects of general social programs, i.e., employment, exclusion of poverty, and support for women and families, Ms. Agnelli calls for the currently possible- support for programs with demonstrated success.In many ways the young street child is similar to other children. He(they are enough males at this age) wishes for a bike, seeks affection, wants to belo ng. However, he has achieved some independence and cannot reasonably be expected to discount his experience and relinquish control over his lifes decisions. Generally, paternalistic programs have not been successful. Approaches advocated by this report suggest finding the means to locate and contact the child, respecting his perceptions and offering support. One of the programs described is the Bosconia/La Florida in Bogot which has successfully moved children, in phases, from the street to a self-governing society with its own business. Programs that sort out youth in positive community service, such as New Yorks Guardian Angels or Californias Conservation corps are cited as opportunities for the development of personal strength and self-worth for the participants.Examples of ways that the problem has been ameliorated in different cities suggest that as the situation of street children becomes ever more apparent in cities, usual bureaucratic solutions will not be sufficient to hel p either the children or the community. This report calls for a grassroots lobbying effort to promote public awareness and governmental policies that support community efforts and within which on-governmental national agencies can operate. This approach recognizes that just as important as government support is implementation by people whose life experiences have prepared them to recognize street children as citizens with a right to be included in their community.

The Meaning of Wine in Egyptian Tombs: Article Analysis

The Meaning of Wine in Egyptian Tombs word AnalysisThe find of Tutankhamuns grave is significant in its universe one of a few intact royal grave accents to have been notice in Egypt olibanum far. Many of the artifacts in the tomb were spectacular, further the ternary amphorae name in Tutankhamuns sepulchre bedroom raised many a(prenominal) questions. female horse genus Rosa Guasch-Jans article looks at the amphorae rear at bottom the tomb, and attempts to answer some of the questions surrounding them. Using inscriptions make up in the tomb as well as residue analysis, Guasch-Jan is able to range the fuddles and surround for their exemplary meaning in the setting of not only Tutankhamuns era, but vino-colo redness in general through show up Egyptian history. This musical com jell will provide a summary of the article The meaning of wine-colored in Egyptian tombs the three amphorae from Tutankhamuns burial chamber, as well as identify the problem in trying to enl ighten the arrogate. This paper will also identify the methods utilize to solve the claim as well as state how this article might be useful to others with related explore.According to the article, upon discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun 23 amphorae were found determined within the annexe chamber of the tomb. Within the burial chamber itself, 3 more(prenominal) amphorae were discove expiration appearing to have been intentionally determined towards the west, east and south of Tutankhamuns sarcophagus. This find therefore caused the antecedent to select why were these wine jars not stored in the annexe chamber with the equipoise of the wine, but placed instead in the burial chamber?, Does the position of the three wine jars have any meaning?. Along with this, the seed notes that no amphora was found on the northern side of the chamber. As a result, Guach-Jan identifies the routine of this article as cosmos to use the residue to identify the nature of the wine that had be en in the amphorae and investigate their symbolism in the context of what is known1 in Egyptian mythology.According to Howard Carter, there were signs of intruders in the tomb but little damage was actually done to the tomb. Although the seals on the wine jars had been broken, the amphorae were found to have had residue wine left inside. Along with residue, hieratic inscriptions on the jars showed differences in the vintage, origin and production of the wines. This evidence may be used to identify signs of trade and distribution in Egyptian society. Using chromatography cud spectrometry, it was determined that a white wine was present in the east amphorae, a red wine in the western amphorae, and a red grape wine with elaborate preparation marked shedeh was present in the southern amphorae. According to Guach-Jan, the shedeh was a much appreciated beverage with a high value and as a result, Guach-Jan is led to ask Was this for emblematical reasons?In order to answer the many quest ions, Guasch-Jan explores the historical background of wine in ancient Egypt. According to the author, large quantities of storage jars were found in Egyptian tombs at Abydos and Saqqara and were interpreted to be for the sustenance of the deceased in the after(prenominal)life2 as funerary offerings to the spirit of the dead. Tombs dating to the Middle Kingdom represent offerings of wine made to the dead and placed in front of the tombs false door from which the buried person was supposed to emerge, thus showing evidence of a dogma in resurrection. Guach-Jan further states that in ancient Egypt, wine was mainly consumed by the royal family and the upper classes, and served as an offering to the gods by the pharaoh or priests in a daily temple ritual. In order to further understand the ancient Egyptian behaviour, the author ventures to understand the symbolism of wine in ancient Egypt. Guach-Jan employs cognitive archaeology in order to understand the Egyptian behaviour and atti tude towards wine. By looking at cosmology and ancient Egyptian mythology, this understanding becomes more fervent. According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the god Osiris was known as being the lord of wine. The grape harvests coincided with the Nile flood and the red colour of the Nile and as a result3, grapes became the symbol of resurrection. Furthermore, the god Ras transformation from the red of sunset to the yellow of sun enhance may be an explanation for the amphorae. Guach-Jan suggests that the billet of amphorae of red wine in the west and white wine in the east of the burial chamber may be seen as burst of the ritual which symbolises the kings journey into the afterlife the red wine at sunset and the white wine at sunrise. To explain the amphorae placed to the south, and the lack of an amphorae to the north, Guasch-Jan notes that in the southern sky there are stars that rise and set. According to mythology, the critical part of the kings renewal after death took place w hen the union of Ra and Osiris occurred. As a result, the Guach-Jan suggests that the go forth of shedeh on Tutankhamuns south argue may have been think to strengthen the king in his trip through the southern sky.Guach-Jan employs Ethnoarchaeology by retracing Egyptian history to the Eighteenth Dynasty and analysing the behaviour of the people of the time whose beliefs were concentrate on upon the course of the sun and asserted that all life was created by the sun. This is represented through finds such as tombs in Amarna where everything is oriented towards the east. Furthermore, finds, such as artifacts found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, show great attention to the gang of Ra and Osiris. According to mythology, Osiris became Ra at night and becomes that constellation of huntsman in the southern sky and in the morning Ra arises again. This belief is represented in a text on the exterior of Tutankhamuns shrine which describes the rejuvenation of the sun in the east by the pict ure of the unified Ra-Osiris. As a result, the shedeh found on the south wall may be representative of the pharaohs journey whilst no wine was needed on the north.Guasch-Jan concludes liquid offerings may have had considerable symbolic meaning in ancient Egypt. She suggests that there is a symbolic purpose for the positioning of the amphorae. The red wine to the west was representative of Tutankhamuns transfiguration as Osiris-Ra the white wine to the east was the transfiguration to Ra in the morning, and the shedeh to the south may be representative of the kings intimately difficult step of rebirth. Ultimately, Guach-Jan concludes that the wines found in the annexe were undoubtedly offerings of the commonplace king for sustenance in the afterlife. By analysis of the residue found in the amphorae along with the ideological thinking of the time, it may be cerebrate that Guasch-Jans conclusion is well supported. Although it may be argued that the research is senseless due to the inability to determine what ancient societies were actually thinking, analysis of literary works and artifacts outlined in the article are sufficient to rule out any problematic assumptions or logical errors. Ultimately, I believe that the research done is significant as it eliminates the ambiguity surrounding the placement of amphorae in tombs, and it allows for a greater insight into the behaviour or the ancient Egyptians.Reference(s)Guasch Jan, Maria Rosa.

Polis of Sparta Essay -- History, The Spartan Society

In this essay, I am going to talk about the main features in the polis of Sparta during the archaic cessation (C800 - 470BC). I will discuss factors such as the importance education, friendly hierarchy, military status, religious practices, and the role of women. In Sparta, the education and training organization of a new-born literally began at birth. With each new child, there was to be inspection of its fitness. The first test came from its mother, the child would be bathed in wine-coloured to test its constitution. (Holland, P.81). Following this, it would be taken to the Gerousia, the stark council of elders. If they saw in the child any obvious de markations, or signs of weakness in reply to simple gestures, it would be deemed unfit and ordered to be discarded on Mount Taygetus, the Apothetae (deposits). (Holland, P81).The purpose of this was to keep the stern population strong and let loose of disease. Although they would have had no idea what eugenics were, this was i n fact an early form of the activity. As a result, only the healthiest of children would be permitted to live and, effectively, continue in their training. From this point on, the Spartan education and training regime, known as the Agoge, would shoo-in a major role in the upbringing of all manlike Spartans. (Holland, P84).Rigorous military training would make for males at the age of seven. To begin with, there would be an emphasis on the importance of the Spartan bow, oer any self-interest or desires. This continued throughout the training and ensured loyaty to the state first and foremost. (R.L.F. P.71). The boys lived in communal messes and were deliberately underfed to encourage them to mistake food. With what food they did have, the Black Broth, which was a so... ...e a single arrow was fired, or a sword drawn. Such was the fear that they imposed upon their enemies, turning their line of business to ice with the sight of their impenetrable wall of toughened soliders. (Hol land, P76).In conclusion, I think it is clear to see that the unique approach to politics that the Spartan polis used in terms of structure had a significant learn at the time. Admired in their approach to raising respectful, sturdy citizens, they served as a model not just for the structure of a club but also for the development of one of the most important changes in the ancient world professional soldiers. It could even be argued, I think, that the Spartan constitution was one of if not the first form of democracy, given the reputation of the control over kings that the council of Elders had, who were themselves elected by members of the Spartiate population.

Stability over Everything :: essays research papers

Stabilitt ber alles The enactment of German and Hungarian Politics since 1989There can be secondary doubt when studying the political transition deep down Germany and Hungary that since 1989 there has been a change in ideology since the collapse of the communist regime in Eastern Europe and the reunification of East and West Germany. Nevertheless it essential be acknowledged that the truly astonishing events of 1989/90, which even at the etymon of 1989 could not have been predicted, brought about the most exciting and far far-reaching changes in life and society in Germany and Hungary since 1945. Through the various paradigms Globalization, Europeanisation and Democratisation, we are able to come to an understanding of the politics in transition and also set off and explain several key aspects of the political, scotch, social and cultural life in contemporary Germany and Hungary. The trend of globalization is attracting more and more attention and with this is transforming t he historic approach that state, society and thriftiness are, as it were co-extensive within the same national boundaries. The supranational economic system, in which states draw the borderline between the house servant economy and foreign trade relations, is being metamorphosed into a transnational economy in the wake of the globalization of markets. These trends are mirrored by the up-to-the-minute emphasis of Germany to grow as a major leader within the European Union and Hungary in their approach for acceptance by the European Union as a member. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, we have seen Germany come forward as one of the forefront leaders in the European market. From an economic perspective, globalization has brought incontestable welfare gains to Germany and Europe through an enhanced international division of labour (e.g. trade and investment). Yet globalization has also subject and intensified weaknesses in growth, investment, and innovation in Europe and has led t o exceedingly high unemployment rates. For ten years now the German economy, has been transferring DM 150 one thousand thousand in net payments from the West to the East. This is not a mark of the economys weakness, but rather a symptom of strength, and is maintained by the fact that few economies in the world could do this successfully, and none is required to do so. Undoubtedly it puts an enormous sort on the German economy, but it is shouldering it well. Even though Germany has been transferring money to the East, it has nevertheless managed to register a trade surplus of DM 100 billion annually.
