    No full text
    This study was conducted in a third world economy to find the role of organizational cultural traits of involvement and adaptability on employees’ readiness for change and consequently successful implementation of change at the organizational unit level. Employees’ trust in their managers was considered as the moderating variable. The study was conducted in a large public sector organization and a banking company that remained in the public sector for more than three decades. The overall results revealed similar patterns of outcomes in terms of readiness for change, trust effect, and change outcome. Although the relationship between the cultural traits of involvement and adaptability and the success of change was not supported for lack of adequate outcome performance measures, these traits were significantly responsible for creating readiness for change in employees. Also, against the expectations, the positive relationship between adaptability culture and readiness was stronger when trust in managers was low rather than when it was high.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Shahid Zaman Kha

    James W. Donovan's "Don't Marry" ( Evlenmeyin Nasıl, Ne Zaman Ve Kiminle Evlenilebileceği Üzerine Tavsiyeler)  is an advice book written in the late 19th century that deals with the institution of marriage and partner selection. Translated into Turkish by Umut Yarım, this work starts from the premise that marriage is a serious partnership rather than a romantic dream. The author warns young people against making hasty decisions and lists the points to be considered to achieve happiness in marriage. The book covers topics such as the characteristics of the ideal spouse, character compatibility, the importance of financial status, and the difficulties that may be encountered in marriage in detail. While seeking answers to fundamental questions such as "Who to marry?" and "When to marry?", Donovan also examines the causes of unhappy marriages. Although the work reflects the social norms of the period, it encourages the reader to make conscious and prudent choices by offering universal observations on human relationships. The author's aim is not to reject marriage completely, but to protect against the regrets of marriages made with the wrong person or at the wrong time.James W. Donovan'ın "Evlenmeyin" (Don't Marry) adlı eseri, evlilik kurumunu ve eş seçimini ele alan, 19. yüzyıl sonlarında yazılmış bir tavsiye kitabıdır. Umut Yarım tarafından Türkçeye çevrilen bu çalışma, evliliğin romantik bir hayalden ziyade ciddi bir ortaklık olduğu gerçeğinden yola çıkar. Yazar, gençleri aceleci kararlar vermemeleri konusunda uyarır ve evlilikte mutluluğu yakalamak için dikkat edilmesi gereken hususları sıralar. Kitapta, ideal eşin özellikleri, karakter uyumu, maddi durumun önemi ve evlilikte karşılaşılabilecek zorluklar gibi konular detaylı bir şekilde işlenir. Donovan, "Kiminle evlenmeli?" ve "Ne zaman evlenmeli?" gibi temel sorulara yanıt ararken, mutsuz evliliklerin nedenlerini de irdeler. Eser, dönemin toplumsal normlarını yansıtmakla birlikte, insan ilişkilerine dair evrensel gözlemler sunarak okuyucuyu bilinçli ve sağduyulu seçimler yapmaya teşvik eder. Yazarın amacı evliliği tamamen reddetmek değil, yanlış kişiyle veya yanlış zamanda yapılan evliliklerin getireceği pişmanlıklardan korumaktır

    The thesis is anchored upon a text extracted from an important 11th / 17th century Yemeni historical work. This text deals primarily with al-Hādī ilā 'I-Haqq, the founder of the Zaydī Imamate in the Yemen that lasted well over a thousand years. AI-Hādīs imamate, of considerable significance in itself, also coincides with one of the most turbulent periods of early Yemeni mediaeval history. The- edited Arabic text, with its accompanying apparatus criticus. Is to be found at the opposite end of this volume. The Introduction considers various aspects of Imam al-Hadī’s life, religious ideas and aspirations and matters directly connected with the edited text and the work of which it forms a part. Among the most important subjects discussed are the MSS used in the production of the edited text, the problem concerning the authorship of Ghāyat al-amānī and the relationship of the latter work to Anbā' al-zaman. A short biography of al-Hādī is provided, together with a treatment of the historical background to ai-Hādīs imamate. The introduction also describes the editorial method followed with regard to the text, and certain key personal names and toponyms are dealt with there. The method employed by the author of the Ghāyat is to record the events of any one year by Itself. I have translated one year at a time and then followed it by the annotations appertaining to it. It is hoped that by means of these annotations. (some of which through necessity are quite detailed ), the text will be better understood. The numerous personages, tribal names and toponyms are considered, as well as problems concerning points of chronology and various matters of historical and religious significance. Specific comment is made upon certain interesting terms or any unusual or striking vocabulary. The thesis concludes with maps, genealogical tables and a comprehensive bibliography

    Sweet white lupins (Lupinus albus) and a high protein variety of soyabeans, AC Proteus (HPSB), were roasted in an electric roaster at 300 degrees C for 1, 2, 3 or 4 min. Raw and roasted samples were analysed for total nitrogen, acid detergent insoluble N and protease insoluble N, and available rumen by-pass protein (RBP) was determined. In situ degradability of DM and N was determined using Dacron bags in the rumen of 3 ruminally cannulated dry cows. Soyabean meal was used as a control treatment. Roasting did not affect the total N content of lupins (4.9%) and HPSB (7.3%), but increased linearly (P http://upei-resolver.asin-risa.ca?sid=SP:CABI&id=pmid:&id=&issn=0377-8401&isbn=&volume=51&issue=3%2f4&spage=329&pages=329-335&date=1995&title=Animal%20Feed%20Science%20and%20Technology&atitle=Effects%20of%20roasting%20of%20lupins%20%28Lupinus%20albus%29%20and%20high%20protein%20variety%20of%20soybeans%20%28AC%20Proteus%29%20on%20chemical%20composition%20and%20in%20situ%20dry%20matter%20and%20nitrogen%20disappearance%20in%20dairy%20cows.&aulast=Zaman&pid=%3Cauthor%3EZaman%2c%20M%20S%3bMcNiven%2c%20M%20A%3bGrimmelt%2c%20B%3bMacLeod%2c%20J%20A%3C%2Fauthor%3E%3CAN%3E19951405718%3C%2FAN%3E%3CDT%3EJournal%20article%3C%2FDT%3

    ABSTRAK Semantik atau dengan Bahasa lain disebut ilmu dalalah adalah bidang ilmu yang mengkaji makna. Oleh karena itu, perlu kiranya kita memahami konsep semantik agar kita dapat memahami batasan arti dan ciri dari ilmu tersebut. Ilmu ini terkategori sebagai ilmu yang tua, yang telah dibahas sejak zaman Aristoteles. Untuk itu Peneliti ingin mengungkapkan terkait semantic zaman klasik dan modern. Dalam Penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan jenis penelitian kepustakaan (library research) yaitu serangkaian kegiatan yang berkenaan dengan metode pengumpulan data pustaka. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ilmu Dalalah mengalami sejarah yang Panjang dan merupakan hasil kerja keras dari para ulama dan ilmuwan terdahulu. Ilmu Dalalah atau ilmu makna mulai dibahas sejak zaman Aristoteles, Ketika itu pembahasan seputar makna masih dihubungkan dengan benda-benda disekitarnya dan disatukan dengan pembahasan filsafat. Era selanjutnya makna dibahas sejak kemunculan agama Islam, terutama setelah turunnya Al-Qur’an dan setelah agama Islam berkembang pesat. Dimulai oleh Abu aswad ad-duali yang mengetahui bahwa telah terjadi lahn (kesalahan berbahasa) didalam Bahasa. Pada abad ke-19 ilmu Dalalah mengalami kemapanan ilmu yaitu ditandai dengan munculnya tokoh linguistik yaitu Ferdinand De Saussure, Noam Chomsky, dan Bloomfield. Tokoh-tokoh tersebut melahirkan teori-teori ilmu semantik hingga terkenal dan digunakan di abad modern saat ini.. Kata Kunci: Semantik, Zaman Klasik, dan Zaman Modern   ABSTRACT Semantics or in other words called dalalahl science is a field of science that studies meaning. Therefore, it is necessary for us to understand the concept of semantics so that we can understand the meaning and characteristics of this science. This science is categorized as an old science, which has been discussed since the time of Aristotle. For this reason, researchers want to reveal the semantics of classical and modern times. In this research, the author uses a type of library research, namely a series of activities related to library data collection methods. The results of this research show that Dalalah science has a long history and is the result of the hard work of previous scholars and scientists. The science of Dalalah or the science of meaning began to be discussed since the time of Aristotle. At that time, discussions about meaning were still connected to the objects around them and combined with discussions of philosophy. In the next era, meaning was discussed since the emergence of Islam, especially after the revelation of the Koran and after Islam developed rapidly. It was started by Abu Aswad ad-duali who knew that there had been a lahn (language error) in the language. In the 19th century, Dalal science experienced scientific development, which was marked by the emergence of linguistic figures, namely Ferdinand De Saussure, Noam Chomsky, and Bloomfield. These figures gave birth to semantic theories that have become famous and are used in the modern era. Keywords: Semantics, Classical Era, and Modern Er

    The scaling-up of microfinance in Bangladesh : determinants, impact, and lessons

    No full text
    The microfinance industry in Bangladesh currently provides access to credit to around 13 million poor households. The author describes the factors that led to the scaling-up of micro-credit in Bangladesh, the impact this has hadon the poor, future challenges in Bangladesh, and possible lessons for other countries. The consensus in the literature is that micro-credit plays a significant role in reducing household vulnerability to a number of risks and that it contributes to improving social indicators. The author argues that strategic donor investments in a handful of well-managed institutions that offer a simple, easily replicable financial product could lead to large gains in access to finance for the poor. However, this approach could sacrifice other objectives of financial sector development, such as product and institutional diversity, which could be promoted after the initial expansion has taken place. Governments can also have a crucial role in promoting access to microfinance by ensuring macroeconomic stability, enforcing a simple regulatory structure, and developing communications networks that reduce transaction costs. Another lesson is that while visionary leadership cannot simply be franchised, the internal management systems that led to the scaling-up can be replicated in other settings.Rural Finance,Banks&Banking Reform,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Health Promotion,Banks&Banking Reform,Rural Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Poverty Assessment,Economic Adjustment and Lending
