@Research Paper <#LINE#>Perceived Organisational Support and Emotional Labour: The Mediating Role of Emotional Intelligence<#LINE#>Kiran@A.,M.A.@Khan<#LINE#>1-11<#LINE#>1.ISCA-RJRS-2013-613.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Management Sciences, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science andTechnology, (SZABIST) Islamabad Campus, PAKISTAN<#LINE#>2/9/2013<#LINE#>27/11/2013<#LINE#> Service organisationsare facing many challenges because of inadequate management of emotions of employees affecting individual and organisationperformance. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of perceived organisationalsupport (POS) on emotional labour(EL), and to discover whether or not emotional intelligence (EI) influences the association between POS and EL. Convenience sampling technique was used for data collectionthrough questionnaire from 150 respondents of hospitals, hotels, academic institutions, and banks. Multiple regression analysis was applied to check hypotheses. The results revealed that POS and its three dimensions such as rewards, career development, and training have a significant effect on EI, whereas fourth dimension of POS, the supervisory support has insignificant effect on EI. Moreover, it was found that POS significantly affects EL, and EI partially mediates the relationship between POS and EL. The present research extended the conceptual work in EL by probing the effect of POS and emotional EI on EL. Furthermore, this research provided new insight into management of customer services within the academic institutions, hotels, hospitals, and banks by investigating effects of respondents’ POS and EI on EL. The study highlighted the need of organisationalinterventions to develop requisite competence among employees for desirable management of emotions for superior performance. <#LINE#> @ @ Barney J.B., Firm Resources and Sustained Competitive Advantage, J. of Manag, 17(1), 99-120 (1991) @No $ @ @ Wright P.M., Dunford B.B. and Snell S.A., Human Resources and the Resource-Based View of the Firm, J. of Manag, 27(6), 701-721 (2001) @No $ @ @ Saá-Pérez P.

In the world of management a very fast and easy to adapt modality called “multi-agent system” has recently been proposed to help achieve bigger goals in collaboration. This system has greatly modified our working environment as well as the output of different projects that are being carried out all over the world. In this paper I have discussed how the multi-agent system has modified and benefited our organizations to help achieve bigger goals and better solutions to the problems in our society. <#LINE#> @ @ Bergenti F., Gleizes M. and Zambonelli F., Methodologies and software engineering for agent systems the agent-oriented software engineering handbook, Boston Mass.: Kluwer Academic, (2004) @No $ @ @ Kirn S., Multi-agent engineering theory and applications in enterprises, Berlin: Springer., (2006) @No $ @ @ Sun D., Synchronization and control of multi-agent systems, Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press, (2011) @No $ @ @ Chapelle O., Ji S., Liao C., Velipasaoglu E., Lai L. and Wu S., Intent-based diversification of web search results: metrics and algorithms, Springer Science Business Media, LLC (2011) @No $ @ @ Bonifacio M., Bouquet P. and Traverso P.

The aims of present study were to determine the prevalence ofself-medication, correlations between self-medication and general characteristic and ways to obtain information about anti-obesity drugs in overweight and obese women. A cross-sectional study was carried on 200 overweight and obese women (Body Mass Index=28.36±3.73 kg/m) aged 20-50 years from April to December 2012. A questionnaire which contained socio-demographic, life styles, self diet management and self medication items was filled out and anthropometric indices were measured. SPSS software version 16 was applied for Statistical analysis. Pv0.05 was considered significant. 54.45% of participants had self-diet management during the last six months. 12.87% of women reported self-medication without weight loss diet. Self-medication in younger was significantly more than older women (Pv=0.01). No significant correlation was observed between income, education and BMI with self medication (Pv0.05). However a significant correlation was observed between age and self medication (r=0.23, Pv=0.01). Most of the subjects, especially younger women mentioned self-medication for faster losing weight and fitness (64.35%). Herbal supplements were the most commonly used medications in subjects (32.35%). About 60% of women reported that friends and relatives were the main sources of receiving information about anti-obesity drugs. Self-treatment among women in Tehran-Iran is of concern,due to the highprevalence of self-diet management and tendency of younger women to self-medication for getting body image satisfaction. <#LINE#> @ @ Melzer K., Laurie K., and Genton L., Comparison of equations for estimating resting metabolic rate in healthy subjects over 70 years of age, Clinical Nutrition, 26(1), 498-505 (2007) @No $ @ @ Halpern A. and Mancini M., Treatment of obesity: an update on antiobesity medications, Obes Rev, 4(1), 25-42 (2003) @No $ @ @ World Health Organization, Global strategy on diet, physical activity and health, Documents related to overweight and obesity, Fact sheet on Obesity and overweight, [cited 2011 Feb 25], Available from: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs311/en/index.htm.l.

Current work aims at determining physiological profile of Iranian Men National Taekwondo Team. To this end, all Taekwondo athletes present in national tram camp in 2013 including 22 ones (with age average 21.392.14) were selected as the statistical sample. Measured physiological characteristics include aerobic power (gas analyzer), aerobic power at anaerobic threshold (Kank anytest), anaerobic power with lactate (Argo jump test), trunk and lower extremity muscle endurance (sit and reach test, side jump), maximal lower extremity muscle strength (Sargent vertical jump), speed (40-yard sprint), reaction rate (visual reaction time), flexibility of trunk and lower extremity (trunk flexion test, forward and back), agility (4 × 9 sprint test) which were performed in four different Olympic weights. Findings indicate all weights had lowest performance in visual reaction time sub scale, while the best performance was observed in performance for aerobic power at anaerobic threshold which was related to third and fourth weights. In addition, in some indices such as trunk muscle endurance, maximal lower extremity muscle strength, and trunk flexibility similar performances are seen in all weights (p 0.05). <#LINE#> @ @ Park Y.H., Park Y.H. and Gerrard J., Tae Kwon Do: The ultimate reference guide to the world’s most popular martial art.

Greater value will achieve due to destination name, if formed identity in mind of tourists associate with more positive. Therefore, in this research, the relationship between the indicators of brand equity (including: brand awareness, brand Image, perceived quality, and brand loyalty) in point view of Konecnik and Gartner, attraction of tourist and tourism loyalty was measured. The questionnaires were distributed among 384 tourists in the province of Guilan. Path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) method were used to test data and model of research.

In the present investigation, we studied the effects of a traditional method using red soil in storing pigeonpea seeds over two years. Seeds at the time of collection germinated to 85 ± 6.9%. Results of seed storage experiments showed that 58 ± 8.1% of seeds coated with red soil were viable after 6 months and 44 ±7.9% of the seeds germinated after 12 months of storage. Sun-dried seeds stored under laboratory condition germinated only to 14 ± 5.7% and 4 ± 3.4% after 6 and 12 months respectively. However, after one year of storage the number of viable seeds is very low and no statistically significant difference in germination (P�0.05) was observed between red soil coated and sundried seeds stored in room temperature. We observed seeds coated with red soil were completely dry, a reason attributable to less insect infestation. Given its easy use and better efficacy compared to solar heating method reported previously, we expect this cost-effective technique will serve as a reliable way for storing pigeonpea seeds. <#LINE#> @ @ Van Dooren T., Banking Seed: Use and Value in the Conservation of Agricultural Diversity, Science as Culture.,18, 373-395 (2009) @No $ @ @ Baniya B.,Subedi A., Rana R., Tiwari R.K., Chaudhary P., Shrestha S., Tiwari P,.

This study explores the knowledge and experiences of EBP among occupational therapists working in Iran. A qualitative study using semi structured interviews was employed with eleven occupational therapists. Purposeful sampling was used based on the participants’ abilities to contribute relevant information on using the evidence in their own practice. Participants were requested to describe their own perceptions of EBP and experiences of using evidence in their therapy.The findings identified two broad categories including knowledge of EBP, and, factors that influenced introduction of EBP and research utilization in therapy. The results indicated that the participants held divergent definitions of evidence and EBP. Their perceptions varied by their qualifications. Furthermore, their use of research was influenced by educational and personal factors. There are some factors which could be useful to ensure that optimal services are provided for clients according to current research evidence in occupational therapy, including: complementary education related to research skills, and, organizational support in relation to accessing information and relevant databases. <#LINE#> @ @ Graham F., Robertson L, and Anderson J., New Zealand occupational therapists' views on evidence based practice: A replicated survey of attitudes, confidence and behavioursAust Occup Ther J., 60(2), 120-128(2012) @No $ @ @ Dubouloz C.J., et al., Occupational therapists’ perceptions of evidence-based practiceAm J Occup Ther53(5), 445-453 (1999) @No $ @ @ Byham-Gray, L.D., et al., Evidence-Based Practice: What Are Dietitians?

Following three indexes were measured: mass loss, flame spread rate and emissions of CO, NO, SO, O were monitored. The fire safety characteristics of synthetic materials are mostly negative due to faster mass loss comparing to the natural materials. Based on the results one of the materials is no more recommended for the use due to health and safety risk character. Fast mass loss in hand with its toxic emissions of phthalates and dioxin make PVC a very risky flooring material. We do not recommend its use. Nylon (polyamide) carpets should be not used due to their high flammability. Wooden based floorings such an oak parquet, spruce board, OSB boards are high recommended. Linoleum and Laminate floorings, especially due to low flammability are recommended, too. <#LINE#> @ @ Galla Š., Ivanovicová M.,Assessment of Fire Risk of Selected Agglomerated Wooden Materials, Res.J.Recent Sci., 2(7), 43-47, (2013) @No $ @ @ Martinka J., Kaíková D., Hroncová E. and Ladomerský J., Experimental determination of the effect of temperature and oxygen concentration on the production of birch wood fire emissions, J.

A color blind person faces various challenges in everyday life, be it from identifying the different traffic lights, choosing clothes, or using color dyes for concoction. A color blind person face problems to distinguish the right color in such cases. Similarly, colorblind struggles to find a software application suited to overcome their color impairment. Usually applications provide a particular feature that tends to provide a solution for a type of color blindness that might not be suitable for people having different types of color blindness. In this paper, we proposed a model which highlights mandatory features that software developers should keep in mind while developing color blind applications. This model will facilitate developers to address challenges faced by color blind by incorporating proposed features. <#LINE#> @ @ Kalpa S., Health IT in Indian Healthcare System: A New Initiative, Res.

These approaches beside the sustainable architecture attitude, can lead to a new approach called social sustainability. In architecture sustainability can be divided into two categories in architecture. Environmental sustainability, which is also named as climatic sustainability, deals with the stability of the building's body and consumption optimization of materials and energy. And non- environmental sustainability which is mentioned as social sustainability, deals with improvement of the quality and stabilization of the events that are going on within the body of the building in architecture. Sustainable design can be defined socially as: designing an appropriate space to accommodate culture, behaviors and lifestyle of people. By enhancing the space quality it will also increase the quality of life which will contribute to sustaining the space. To increase the range of social stability period it is possible to utilize solutions which make the space flexible. Thus it can be expected that mentioned space could respond to the changes in behavior pattern in future. <#LINE#> @ @ Napassakorn P., Configuration of public space and social sustainability of urban neighborhood, PhD thesis, Texas Tech University (2004) @No $ @ @ Raeisi I. and Habibi A., An essay on social sustainability in housing, Abadi quarterly, 55, 6-11 (2007) @No $ @ @ Taghizadeh M., The influence of architecture and city on cultural values, journal of fine arts, university of Tehran, 11, 62-76, In Persian, (2001) @No $ @ @ Johnston M., Social development as an anticorruption strategy, International anticorruption conference, Cancun, Guintanaroo, Mexico (1993) @No $ @ @ Rosman Md.

Technology plays an important role in all of our lives and it is introduced as enormous and huge business in order to accomplish social welfare and wealth. To solve this conundrum, developed countries of the world consider total system of science, technology and industry under a general system named as the innovation system together and they interact with each other. Science and technology parks are one of the components relevant to this system which have a significant role in integrating the knowledge and producing goods with high quality. It has been attempted in this investigation to survey the situation of science and technology parks in transferring technology notions. It means that paying attention to the technology concept in the processes of developing the technology I a suitable environment has the potential to create the sustainable economic value. Thus, there are reasons which prove the technology sequence could create economic value in a form of dynamic pattern including creation and innovation increase and most importantly increasing building science and technology parks. <#LINE#> @ @ Rah Shahr, Information Technology, first section, general concepts, research and development part, consulting engineers group of architecture and urbanism, energy and water development (2002) @No $ @ @ Navaz Sharif, Technology transfer and development management, translate by shiraslani, Tehran, (2002) @No $ @ @ Sapchoy Hiyug, Development technology in developing country, translate by hosenzadeh, Ahmad, Tehran, Ministry of industry (2006) @No $ @ @ KarimianIqbal M., Conference Presentations parks, (in Persian), (2010) @No $ @ @ Soleimani Majid, Report of the Science and Technology Parks, weekly news (Barnameh), President Deputy Strategic Planning And Control .

Expressionism is a form of exaggeration in color and shape, a method devoid of naturalism that sought to express emotions clearer and more explicit, and technocracy is a technically oriented manner and technological encountering with all problems.

The students have tried out every possible situation optimistically to taste the fruits of success. Herein, the researcher has made an attempt to focus on the academic achievement (high scoring) which the economically disadvantaged children have achieved in their higher secondary examination. The research report summarizes the ‘pathway of success’ of these students which will definitely be a boon to students who are striving to achieve a landmark in their life yet are disadvantaged socially as well as economically. Data collected is secondary and descriptive method is used to analyze the data.

Insurance is an effective mechanism for reducing the vulnerability of the poor from the effects of diseases, theft, disability, and other hazards. Unexpected losses can be protected by conventional insurance. In Muslim world, Shariah scholars prohibit the conventional insurance system because of Gharar (Uncertainty), Maisir (Gambling), and Riba (Interest). Insurance covers risks and risk can be managed by avoiding, mitigation, transfer, combination, or loss prevention activities. Takaful is one of the substitutes of insurance system, which follows the rules and regulations of Islamic Shariah. In Takaful, insurance is like collective endeavor in which a group of people, following a particular scheme, financially support the catastrophic losses that are faced by an individual, who is policy holder of that particular scheme. In the past studies little evidence is found that counter Takaful System Poverty and deprivation among the Muslim societies. Unfortunately, less services available to poor Muslim population due to affordability, lack of knowledge, and insecurities of the products. Few scholars have proposed the solution of these issues in the Micro-Takaful products and in cooperative structure scheme. So, this study is investing whether Takaful has prospectives to lessen poverty or not. More importantly, this study will also attempt to find out the impact of Micro-Takaful products on poverty reduction. <#LINE#> @ @ Olsson C., Risk Management in Emerging Markets: How to survive and prosper, Edinburgh: Prentice Hall, (2002) @No $ @ @ Spencer D., Background: Introduction to Risk Management and Insurance, Pearson Education, Inc., (2004) @No $ @ @ Aspira, Financial Education Program on Insurance, Aspira Nationwide, Ohio, (2003) @No $ @ @ Mahmood N.R., Takaful: The Islamic System of Mutual Insurance-The Malaysian Experience, Arab LQ 6, 280,(1991) @No $ @ @ Salahi A., Is Life Insurance Haram?, New Horizon, Islamic Banking and Insurance,(1995)@No $ @ @ Mankahady S., Insurance and Islamic Law, Arab LQ, 4,199 (1989) @No $ @ @ Anwar M. and Hussain M., Comparative Study of Insurance and Takafol (Islamic Insurance) [with Comments, The Pakistan Development Review, 1315-1330 (1994) @No $ @ @ Klingmuller E., The Concept and Development of Insurance in Islamic Countries, Islamic Culture, (1969) @No $ @ @ D.M.M.

Bahadur Institute of Management Sciences, University of Mysore, INDIA <#LINE#>8/10/2013<#LINE#>26/12/2013<#LINE#> This paper surveys literatures on five theories of capital structure theories from Modigliani and Miller research paper at 1958 to Halov and heider at 2004. There are two main sources of firms’ financing: internal and external financing, internal financing is related to retained earnings and external financing could be in the form of borrowing or issue of equity. Firms continuously invest because of sustain and growth, for these reasons firms’ financing decisions are very important. Traditional trade-off theory and pecking order theory are most acceptable theories of capital structure. As the traditional trade-off theory asserts, firms have one optimal debt ratio (target leverage). In comparison the pecking order theory implies firms’ preference to internal finance over external finance and debt over equity. From the literature it cannot be concluded whether debt has any tax benefit on balance or not. But it can be said that the share price increases with the debt issuing announcement and falls after announcement of equity issue. As agency models anticipate, leverage is directly related to the value of firm, default probability, free cash flow, extent of regulation, liquidity value, interest coverage, cost of investigation of firm’s prospects and the probability of reorganization upon default. On the other hand, leverage is expected to have inverse relationship with the growth opportunities and the importance of managerial reputation. And also, there are no conclusions about the effects of managerial ownership on leverage. <#LINE#> @ @ Harris M. and Raviv A., The theory of capital structure, The Journal of Finance, 46(1), 297-355 (1991) @No $ @ @ Myers S.C. and Majluf N., Corporate financing and investment decisions when firms have information that investors do not have, Journal of Financial Economics, 13, 187-221 (1984) @No $ @ @ Shyam Sunder L. and C Myers S., Testing static tradeoff against pecking order models of capital structure, Journal of financial economics, 51(2), 219-244 (1999) @No $ @ @ Fama E.F. and French K.R.

McEwan as a contemporary author marked this through his fiction. McEwan’s characters, in general, has problems in their relationships that come to the surface now and then and affect their connections with family members and others outside the family circle. This study is an attempt to analyze Ian McEwan’s On Chesil Beach from the view point of psychoanalysis, particularly, Kleinian Object Relation Theory. Preventing them from achieving maturity and having satisfactory relationship with others, these problems push the characters disastrous ends. As a branch of psychoanalysis, object relation theory emphasizes the family relationships, particularly, those between the mother and the child. Based on this theory the failure or success of the child in later life depends on the early relationships and their influences on the person throughout life. Relying on this theory, this research attempts to explore the causes of the main characters’ failure in their relationships with others. To achieve this aim, the character’s early life and their relationships with their mother are examined. Findings bring to the light that, main characters suffer from the lack of satisfying early relation with their caregivers. <#LINE#> @ @ Abbasiyannejad M., Talif R. and Heidari M.A., Reflection of Ian McEwan’s Life in His Fiction, English Language and Literature Studies, 2(2), 56-61 (2012) @No $ @ @ Ryan R., Conversations with Ian McEwan.
