Strategic Reforms for Accelerated Agricultural Growth in Pakistan
No full textAgricultural growth rates in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s show that strong growth during the 1960s was driven by several factors, including greater certainty in the use of irrigation water (as a result of an agreement with India), the introduction of productivityenhancing fertiliser-seed packages, the introduction of tubewells and the electrification of rural areas, and policy changes that improved the profitability of farming. Growth during the 1970s dropped to 2.3 percent as a result of the uncertainty created by land reforms in 1972 and 1977, severe climatic shocks, a cotton virus that depressed production for most of the decade, and political instability. The recovery in the 1980s and early 1990s can be attributed to the introduction of new cotton varieties and improved management techniques, as well as to a gradual improvement in economic incentives. Closer inspection of the nature and sources of this growth raises concerns about its sustainability and casts doubt on the ability of the sector to grow by more than 3–4 percent a year in the future. Many of the past sources of agricultural growth in Pakistan appear to have been fully exploited. Strategy for the future must effectively address the followings. Allowing the market to Operate, policy reforms that support the ongoing structural adjustment should be given top priority. To address the crisis in irrigation management market-determined incentives must be allowed to determine resource allocation within the irrigation system. Reform in extension should include establishing closer links with research institutions and reducing the number of front-line extension workers and replacing them with fewer, bettertrained workers who are more responsive to the needs of farming systems. Full-fledged land reform is difficult to enact and can be considered only after a comprehensive study of costs and benefits. Some important measures can be implemented immediately, however. Foremost is providing security of tenure to many farmers, especially tenants-at-will, thereby improving responsiveness to incentives and creating better incentives for long-term investments.

Physical environment in school setting: conceptual reviews
No full textIncreasing numbers of educators have begun to believe that the physical environment might have an impact on students' outcomes. There are several research findings indicate that students academic outcomes are affected positively or adversely by the visual, acoustical, and thermal characteristics of the classroom environment (Bowers et al. 1987) such as student behavior (Cash, 1993); attitudes (Weinstein, 1979); and achievement (Cash, 1993; O’Sullivan, 2006); personality development (Roberts and Robins, 2004); student preferences and comfort (Corgnati et al., 2007). Concrete foundation is needed to discuss the circumstances of the physical environment in school setting. The valuable theorists mostly cited as a guidance is person-environment fit theory (Caplan and Van Harrison, 1993). The match between attributes of the person and attributes of the environment reflects the concept of person-environment (PE) fit (Roberts and Robins, 2004). This paper will reviews the related concept of physical environment from ergonomics perspectives which is mostly applied in workplaces setting in order to relate it with the condition or situation in classroom setting

No full textFaktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Pembangunan Kaum Sikh Dalam Bidang Keusahawanan Di Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur
No full textKajian ini dilakukkan bertujuan mengkaji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi pembangunan kaum Sikh dalam bidang keusahawanan di sekitar bandaraya Kuala Lumpur. Terdapat empat aspek yang menjadi fokus dalam kajian ini iaitu factor pengurusan, perkhidmatan, dalaman dan pasaran. Pengkaji menjalankan temuramah dengan kaedah temuramah berstruktur kepada 40 responden yang berdaftar dengan Network of International Sikh Entrepreneurs (NISE). Keputusan kajian dianalisis mengunakkan Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) versi 12.00. Hasil kajian menunjukkan faktor perkhidmatan merupakan faktor yang paling dominan atau pendorong yang paling utama yang mempengaruhi kejayaan usahawan Sikh iaitu bagaimana usahawan memberi perkhidmatan yang memenuhi kehendak dan keperluan pelanggan. Ia diikuti dengan faktor pengurusan yang merangkumi pengurusan kewangan dan pekerja. Namun begitu , sistem aperentis kurang diamalkan oleh usahawan Sikh di mana tidak ramai yang mewarisi perniagaan keluarga. Di samping itu, faktor dalaman yang merangkumi sikap, motivasi dan keyakinan diri yang tinggi juga menjanjikan kejayaan usahawan Sikh. Majoriti usahawan Sikh mengunakkan teknologi e-perniagaan untuk memasarkan produk mereka tetapi terdapat segelintir yang masih mengunakkan kaedah konvensional. Berdasarkan hasil kajian, dicadangkan agar usahawan berfikiran terbuka dalam merebut peluang dan meluaskan perniagaannya di pasaran antarabangsa. Selain itu, mereka haruslah peka terhadap sebarang perubahan dan permintaan pasaran semasa supaya dapat memenuhi kehendak dan keperluan pelanggan. Mereka juga haruslah bersedia menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan persekitaran agar perniagaan mereka dapat bersaing di pasaran global
