The extreme northern islands of Paraná Coast are populated by impoverished communities that see in the ostreiculture as the main alternative for income generation, but little is known about the conditions of cultivation and commercialization practiced by these families. In this context, in order to know the factors that interfere in the development of this activity, a descriptive exploratory research was conducted between July 2017 and January 2018, with interviews by accessibility and receptivity with 30 oyster producers.

This study seeks to investigate the gravity of tense errors made by 300 level English students from two North-Western Nigerian universities in the written production of English with a view to finding solutions to them. The data was obtained from fifty semester examination answer booklets written by students as a part of their requirements for graduation. The data collected was analysed using EA approach developed by Corder (1974).

This paper presents a methodology for fabrication and mathematical simulation using the finite element method of a graphite piezoresistive sensor element 2B deposited on a flexible polymer substrate using Graphite on Paper. The computational simulation aims to find the region of greatest mechanical stress of a crimped beam, when a pressure is applied on it. The steps for the simulation are the definition of the geometry, the generation of the mesh, inclusion of the physical properties of the material and execution of the simulation.

Correct organization of payment operations ensures the stability of funds turnover of business entity, the strengthening of payment discipline and improvement of its financial condition. This article considers options of measurement of receivables and ways to reduce the negative effects of late payment from customers. Receivables management involves monitoring of the funds turnover in the payments. Acceleration of turnover dynamics through the several periods of time is a positive trend.

Goal orientation refers to the goals individuals implicitly pursue while attempting to attain certain performance outcomes (Dweck & Leggett, 1988). In general, goal orientation has been conceptualized as the mental framework in which people interpret and respond to situations, circumstances and events of both achievement and failure. The data for this study was collected through survey method. Executives with more than 45 years of age have higher performance-approach and performance-avoidance. Further details were discussed in this paper.

The main purpose of this research paper is to examine the relationship between the impact of Management Styles and the Job Satisfaction in the Plantation Sector in Sri Lanka. There are 5 items of construct to measure management style (MS) and five sub constructs for each construct to study the MS. The five main constructs are namely participatory management style (PAMS), organic management style (ORMS), professional management style (PRMS), coaching management style (COMS) and Samsung management style(SSMS).MS will be one of the two main variables investigated in this study.

Work, in its diverse forms contributes to the human development, economic growth and social development of a nation. The work force in an economy can engage in three kinds of activities, namely System of National Accounts (SNA) work, Extended SNA work and Non-SNA work. This paper makes an attempt to analyze the time allocation pattern of men and women and explore the gender disparity in time allocated for unpaid care work in particular.

In this article, different approaches of scientists to the study of own and borrowed capital were evaluated. It is revealed that the fundamental methodological position about their essence and content is largely undeveloped, which in turn causes a different and sometimes contradictory interpretation of the authors' estimates of their own and borrowed capital. In connection with this, this article poses the task of assessing the state of capital, which would most fully reveal their essence and basic essential characteristics. To do this, a comparison of equity with borrowed capital.

Introduction: Defective apical seals were identified as the main cause of failures in endodontic treatment, and several studies have emphasized the importance of adequate coronal sealing between sessions for successful endodontic therapy. Objective: to evaluate the effects of Coltosol® prey expansion on the remaining coronary structure of endodontically treated teeth. Methods: Four human molars were used, extracted for reasons unrelated to this work. After the endodontic treatment, they were restored with Coltosol®.

The quality of life in small rural American towns is thought to be linked to residents’ socio-economic status and civic welfare outcomes measured through objective indicators such as education, poverty, and income. However, subjective indicators, such as space qualities and access to community services and facilities are also considered to have a significant impact on quality of life. Using place-level data, this study examines Colony, a small rural Alabama town and evaluates the opinions of the residents with regards to their quality of life and well-being.
