Customer Relationship Management as Key Factor For Gaining Sustained Entrepreneurial Success

---------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------------------------Today’s competitive and constantly changing business environment has brought to the fore the need for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to manage the relationship with their valuable customers like any other resource. Thus, the study investigated the effect of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) on sustained entrepreneurial success. Two-way communication and conflict handling skills were adopted as key dimensions of CRM, while the stakeholder theory was used as a measure of sustained entrepreneurial success. Data was generated via questionnaire and analysed using multiple regression. It was found that two-way communication and conflict handling have positive effects on CRM. The study therefore concluded that SMEs can gain and sustain their entrepreneurial success through enhanced two-way communication and conflict handling skills. This can be achieved by ensuring that persons hired as employees have the capacity to deal with difficulty customers; training and retraining of both old and new employees so as to help them develop the requisite values and skills; and the development of a policy of openness by the SMEs that will allow customers’ complaints to be heard, assure timely reaction to the complaints, and the treatment of such complaints to the satisfaction of the customers.
Development of Electrical Steel Grade 25CS1250HF for Electric Vehicle

As the environmental regulations and energy saving issue is increasingly concerned, the requirement for thin gauge ES rises sharply, which is used for traction motors in electric vehicles (EV). CSC has been developing a thin gauge ES since 2008 and successfully developed a supreme 0.25mm product25CS1250HF in 2016, supplied to a well-known EV manufacturer for the new generation of EV traction motor. 25CS1250HF belongs to the thin gauge ES, which requires low iron loss at high-frequency, high magnetic flux density, and high tensile strength. To fulfill the requirement, CSC optimized the alloy content to reduce iron loss at high-frequency and raise the tensile strength, and controlled the texture evolution to improve the magnetic flux density. According to the formula of iron loss, the ES product should be made to an optimized grain size to minimize the iron loss. CSC let the grain size of products optimized to control the high frequency iron loss (W10/400) at around 12.30 W/kg by adjusting the annealing temperature. CSC successfully developed 25CS1250HF by the combination of metallurgical technology cumulated over the decades together with new facilities. CSC will continue to make efforts in the development of thin gauge ES, especially for lower iron loss with higher strength so to enhance our market competitiveness and implement better EV design to save the world through sustainable development.

Sources and Uses of Local Government Funds in Nigeria: Evidence from Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State

Local government is that level of government nearest to the people. It is said to be the cornerstone of the government system in any country. The federal government believes that it is only through an effective local government system, that human and material resources of the nation could be mobilized. The research work aimed at analyzing the sources and uses of local government funds in Nigeria using Lere local government area of Kaduna state as a case study, with emphasis on the internally generated revenue. The work is a survey design and secondary data obtained from records available to the local government finance department. The time series covers the period of five (5) years from 2010 – 2014. The data were analyzed using chi – square statistical tool, the current trends of ineffective tax administration and negligence on the part of revenue collectors is considered as a major problem for local government internally generated revenue. The research recommended that the local government should strive towards improving internally generated revenue and adopt enlightenment campaigns.
Influence of probiotic on serum biochemical profile, growth performance and immunostatus in broiler chickens

A total of 90 one-day-old male broiler chicks were fed on balanced ration for 15 days and then divided into 3 equal groups. Control group fed ration probiotic free, group 2 and 3 fed ration supplemented with probiotic at concentration levels 0.5 and 1.0g/kg ration respectively for 4 weeks.It was found that probiotic improve body weight gain and feed conversion ratio. Relative organs weights were not altered in groups of birds fed ration mixed with probiotic. Serum values of biochemical parameter (AST, ALT, ALP, total protein, A/G ratio, Ph) were not significantly changed in comparison to control group. Probiotic enhance the immune response of broiler chickens in a dose dependent relation as documented by increasing the serumNDHI antibody geometric mean titres to ND vaccine, phagocyte percentage and phagocytic index of peripheral blood monocyte of broiler chickens. We concluded that probiotic composed of 3 strains of bacteria (Pediococcus acidilactici, Pediococaoccus pentosaceus and Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens) in addition to 2 strains of yeast( Pichia farinose and Dekera anomala ) enhance body weight gain, feed conversion, growth performance and Newcastle disease antibody titres in broiler chickens. Moreover, probiotic was safe as proved by serum biochemical profile and relative organ weight of male broiler chickens.
Social Policy Report V26, #4: Social and Emotion Learning in Schools: From Programs to Strategies

S chools are an important context for children’s social and emotional development. In classrooms and other school settings, children and adolescents need to have skills such as managing negative emotions, being calm and focused, following directions, and navigating relationships with peers and adults. To build and support these skills, schools have widely adopted social and emotional learning (SEL) programs. When well-designed and well-implemented, SEL programs are associated with positive outcomes; however, effect sizes are generally modest even for the most promising interventions. This issue of Social Policy Report proposes that schools should take a new approach: integrating the teaching and reinforcement of SEL skills into their daily interactions and practices with students. It explains that research warrants a new perspective and highlights a range of new approaches and support strategies that are designed to be time-efficient, low-cost, and integrated with (rather than distracting from) academic curricula. These strategies are grounded in an organizing framework for SEL and a review of current programmatic approaches to SEL. They are introduced with a set of principles for creating better integration of SEL into educational practice and accompanied by recommendations about the role of policy.
Influence Of Sex On Academic Outcomes: Case Of Students Of The Department Of Science And Technique Of Socio-Educational Activities (STASE/INJEPS/UAC)

The present research relative to the influence of sex on the academic results of the students of Department of Sciences and Techniques of Socio-Educational Activities (STASE/ INJEPS/ UAC) took into account 468 students. Three hundred and fifty-eight (358) of them are male and one hundred and ten (110) are female. They are all regularly registered for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years. Data was analysed using Wilcoxon test in the R (3.5.1) statistical analysis software. Results showed that Female students obtained a significantly higher (p <0.05) average marks (13.64 ± 0.72) than male students (13.19 ± 0.98). Based on those results, we can therefore state that female students of the STASE department normally do better than their counterpart male. These results are congruent with previous findings which showed that in higher education entities, women have better results than men.
COMPUTATIONAL VISION MODELS AND OCCUPATIONAL VISION STANDARDS

Background: We describe a methodology that may be used to write uniform and universally accepted occupational vision standards. A simple image discrimination model is first calibrated using stimuli representative of airframe and powerplant cracks. It is then used to predict the visibility of simulated cracks of different lengths and widths. Visual acuity declines are simulated using a gaussian blur function on the crack images. Crack width is shown to be a salient cue to crack detection. Using this modeling technique we show when acuity declines begin to significantly effect performance. Future research will validate model predictions with human psychophysical data.
Dialect Variation on Social Media

Social media has changed our daily lives: We share our thoughts, opinions and news using social media and connect with people throughout the world. Social media has also radically changed a variety of research disciplines: It is both massive—we can now study potentially millions of people—and microscopic—we can carry out analyses at the level of individual interactions (Golder and Macy, 2014). Rather than relying on self-reports or elicited data, we can now observe language in use at scale in a variety of social contexts. The availability of social media data has been one of the driving factors of the emerging area of computational sociolinguistics (Nguyen et al., 2016). There is no ‘single’ online language variety (Herring and Androutsopoulos, 2015). Instead, we find a multitude of linguistic varieties and styles in social media—even within a single social media platform. Still, the informal nature of social media platforms means that language in social media is often closer to everyday speech than the language typically found in many other data sources, such as newspapers. Social media is therefore a rich resource to study regional and social variation in language. For example, here are two tweets from public Twitter accounts, one by Virgin Media and one by Cara Delevingne, an international model:
Dietary reference values for vitamin K

Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) derives dietary reference values (DRVs) for vitamin K. In this Opinion, the Panel considers vitamin K to comprise both phylloquinone and menaquinones. The Panel considers that none of the biomarkers of vitamin K intake or status is suitable by itself to derive DRVs for vitamin K. Several health outcomes possibly associated with vitamin K intake were also considered but data could not be used to establish DRVs. The Panel considers that average requirements and population reference intakes for vitamin K cannot be derived for adults, infants and children, and therefore sets adequate intakes (AIs). The Panel considers that available evidence on occurrence, absorption, function and content in the body or organs of menaquinones is insufficient, and, therefore, sets AIs for phylloquinone only. Having assessed additional evidence available since 1993 in particular related to biomarkers, intake data and the factorial approach, which all are associated with considerable uncertainties, the Panel maintains the reference value proposed by the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF) in 1993. An AI of 1 μg phylloquinone/kg body weight per day is set for all age and sex population groups. Considering the respective reference body weights, AIs for phylloquinone are set at 70 μg/day for all adults including pregnant and lactating women, at 10 μg/day for infants aged 7–11 months, and between 12 μg/day for children aged 1–3 years and 65 μg/day for children aged 15–17 years.
The Role of Radiotherapy in Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreaticcancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the US and in the European Union. Although only the 9th most common cancer, it is an advanced disease at presentation, with only 10-15% of patients having surgically resectable disease, 30% advanced non-resectable cancer and 50% metastatic carcinoma (1), the corresponding figures for survival being 15-19 months, 6-10 months and 3 to 6 months respectively (2). The role of radiotherapy (RT) for patients with pancreatic cancer is controversial because of the premise that patients die as a result of distant metastasis. Autopsy studies have shown that one third of deaths in patients with pancreatic cancer were due to local progression, without evidence of distant metastasis, and 70% were due to distant metastasis, some with both local and distant disease (3-5). Systemic chemotherapy (CT) remains the gold standard for metastatic patients with good performance status. Adjuvant CT after resection (CH) of localized and locally advanced disease has been found to improve outcome. In particular, gemcitabine based combined CT leads to an improvement in overall survival (6). RT should always be performed as radio-chemotherapy (RCT), except for the rare cases of palliative treatment of bone metastases. Two randomized trials have compared treatment with RT alone to combined RCT for unresectable pancreatic carcinoma. RT alone demonstrated a worse median survival than RCT in the Mayo Clinic study (6 versus 10 months) (7).
Analysis of Factors influencing Vulnerability of Fishing Systems to Climate Change among Artisanal Fisher-folks in Coastal area of Lagos, Nigeria

Climate change poses serious challenges to the sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture systems, with severe implications for the majority people who depend on them largely for their livelihoods. Therefore, this study investigates factors influencing the vulnerability of fishing activities to climate change among artisanal fisher-folks in coastal area of Lagos, Nigeria. A three-stage random sampling technique was used to select 342 artisanal fishers from the study area. Data were collected with the aid of structured questionnaire and subjected to factor analysis and descriptive statistics. The results of data analysis revealed that artisanal fishers are vulnerable to external shocks (climate change) due to their high reliance on fishing activities with occupational pluralism being considered as risk-reduction mechanism. Factor analysis revealed that socioeconomic, occupational activities, social cohesion/organization, and market opportunities and biodiversity conservation policy factors among fishers, with Eigen values of 2.2532, 1.5713, 1.3314, and 1.1024 respectively, accounted for their vulnerability to change in climate. The study recommends proper sensitization and capacity building among the coastal fishers on the threats of climate change to their fishing activities.
Habitat modeling of Irrawaddy dolphins (Orcaella brevirostris) in the Eastern Gulf of Thailand

Abstract Aim The Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) is an endangered cetacean found throughout Southeast Asia. The main threat to this species is human encroachment, led by entanglement in fishing gear. Information on this data‐poor species’ ecology and habitat use is needed to effectively inform spatial management. Location We investigated the habitat of a previously unstudied group of Irrawaddy dolphins in the eastern Gulf of Thailand, between the villages of Laem Klat and Khlong Yai, in Trat Province. This location is important as government groups plan to establish a marine protected area. Methods We carried out boat‐based visual line transect surveys with concurrent oceanographic measurements and used hurdle models to evaluate this species’ patterns of habitat use in this area. Results Depth most strongly predicted dolphin presence, while temperature was a strong predictor of group size. The highest probability of dolphin presence occurred at around 10.0 m with an optimal depth range of 7.50 to 13.05 m. The greatest number of dolphins was predicted at 24.93°C with an optimal range between 24.93 and 25.31°C. Dolphins are most likely to occur in two primary locations, one large region in the center of the study area (11o54′18′′N to 11o59′23′′N) and a smaller region in the south (11o47′28′′N to 11o49′59′′N). Protections for this population will likely have the greatest chance of success in these two areas. Main Conclusions The results of this work can inform management strategies within the immediate study area by highlighting areas of high habitat use that should be considered for marine spatial planning measures, such as the creation of marine protected areas. Species distribution models for this species in Thailand can also assist conservation planning in other parts of the species’ range by expanding our understanding of habitat preferences.

Establishing Job Scheduling and Checkpointing in Multi-Cluster Systems

— Multi-site parallel job schedulers can improve average job turn-around time by making use of fragmented node resources available throughout the grid. By mapping jobs across potentially many clusters, jobs that would otherwise wait in the queue for local resources can begin execution much earlier; thereby improving system utilization and reducing average queue waiting time. Recent research in this area of scheduling leverages user-provided estimates of job communication characteristics to more effectively partition the job across system resources. In this paper, we address the impact of inaccuracies in these estimates on system performance and show that multi-site scheduling techniques benefit from these estimates, even in the presence of considerable inaccuracy. While these results are encouraging, there are instances where these errors result in poor job scheduling decisions that cause network over-subscription. This situation can lead to significantly degraded application performance and turnaround time. Consequently, we explore the use of job check pointing, termination, migration, and restart (CTMR) to selectively stop offending jobs to alleviate network congestion and subsequently restart them when (and where) sufficient network resources are available. We then characterize the conditions and the extent to which the process of CTMR improves overall performance.

The intended audience of this document is the highly informed, technical 8 practitioner who seeks to integrate climate-smart ecological assessments into planning for land and 9 water use. Additional documents are available for other audiences interested in this work, such as 10 policy-makers and high-level decision-makers. 11
Variations of the physical parameters of the blazar Mrk 421 based on analysis of the spectral energy distributions

We report on the variations of the physical parameters of the jet observed in the blazar Mrk 421, and discuss the origin of X-ray flares in the jet, based on analysis of several spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The SEDs are modeled using the one-zone synchrotron self-Compton model, its parameters determined using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. The lack of data at TeV energies means many of the parameters cannot be uniquely determined and are correlated. These are studied in detail. We find that the optimal solution can be uniquely determined only when we apply a constraint to one of four parameters: the magnetic field (B), the Doppler factor, the size of the emitting region, and the normalization factor of the electron energy distribution. We used 31 sets of SEDs from 2009 to 2014 with optical–UV data observed with UVOT/Swift and the Kanata telescope, X-ray data with XRT/Swift, and γ-ray data with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The result of our SED analysis suggests that, in the X-ray faint state, the emission occurs in a relatively small area (∼1016 cm) with a relatively strong magnetic field (B ∼ 10−1 G). The X-ray bright state shows a tendency opposite to that of the faint state, that is, a large emitting area (∼1018 cm), probably downstream of the jet, and a weak magnetic field (B ∼ 10−3 G). The high X-ray flux was due to an increase in the maximum energy of electrons. On the other hand, the presence of two kinds of emitting areas implies that the one-zone model is unsuitable for reproducing at least part of the observed SEDs.
