BISPO COMUNISTA, PADRES SUBVERSIVOS: cristianismo de libertação e a luta camponesa no sul do Pará durante o perá­odo militar
Authors: PESSOA FABIO MELO
Published: May 2016

Este artigo discute a influência do pensamento radical religioso no movimento camponês em luta pela terra no Sul do Pará entre os anos de 1975-1985. Procura-se demonstrar que a radicalidade do movimento camponês a partir da influência de um ”Cristianismo de Libertação”, ocorre no contexto da ditadura civil-militar imposta em 1964, resultando num processo de privatização das terras do Araguaia e na consequente generalização dos conflitos agrários por mais de duas décadas. Focamos nossa análise na resistência camponesa a partir da memória construá­da pelos camponeses e seus apoiadores, bem como de seus opositores, de modo a compreender a história e a memória da luta pela terra na região do Araguaia. Palavras-chave: Cristianismo de Libertação. Conflitos agrários. Amazônia.

Increasing Social Presence in Online Learning through Small Group Discussions
Authors: Akcaoglu Mete , Lee Eunbae
Published: May 2016

Social presence is a difficult to achieve, but an imperative component of online learning. In this study, we investigated the effect of group size on students' perceptions of social presence in two graduate-level online courses, comparing small group versus whole class discussions. Our results indicated that when in small group discussions, students perceived a higher level of social presence in terms of sociability, t(32) = 3.507, p = .001; social space, t(29) = 3.074, p = .005; and group cohesion, t(32) = 3.550, p = .001. We discuss how placing students in small and permanent discussion groups can augment social presence. Designers and educators of online learning can strategically modify group size to promote social presence in asynchronous online discussions.
Bacterial Cellulose From Rice Waste Water With Addition Chitosan, Glycerol, And Silver Nanoparticle
Authors: Rohaeti Eli , WLFX Endang , Rakhmawati Anna
Published: May 2016

This study aimed to prepare silver nanoparticles chemically, deposite silver nanoparticles on bacterial cellulose-chitosan-glycerol composite based rice waste water, as well as test the antibacterial activity of bacterial cellulose and its composite. Preparation of silver nanoparticles was conducted by chemical reduction of silver nitrate solution, as well as trisodium citrate as the reductor. Bacterial cellulose from rice waste water is fermented by the bacteria Acetobacter xylinum for 7 days. The dried bacterial cellulose was composited with chitosan and glycerol by immersion method on 2% of chitosan solution and 0.5% of glycerol solution. UV-Vis spectroscopy is used to determine the formation of silvernanoparticles and Particle Size Analyzer to test the size and particle size distribution. Characterization was conducted to bacterial cellulose and its composite included functional groups by FTIR, the mechanical properties by Tensile Tester, crystallinity by XRD, surface photograph by SEM, and antibacterial test against S. aureus and E. coli by the shake flask turbidimetry method. Silver nanoparticle characterization indicated that silver nanoparticles are formed at a wavelength of 421.80 nm, yellow, diameter particle size of 61.8 nm. SEM images showed that the surface of bacterial cellulose had deposited silver nanoparticles and antibacterial test showed an inhibitory effect of bacterial cellulose, bacterial cellulose-chitosan composite, and bacterial cellulose-chitosan-glycerol composite which are deposited silver nanoparticles against the growth of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria.
A New Investor Sentiment Indicator Based on Return Decomposition
Authors: Liu Yuan , Shang Yan , Shi Jianming , Wang Shouyang
Published: May 2016

This paper extends the DSSW model to accommodate rational arbitrageurs, optimistic investors and pessimistic investors. We model the price impact by using daily data and create a new methodology to calculate the optimistic and the pessimistic. The new sentiment indicator has high correlation with the other traditional ones, and as a proxy variable of individual share or financial market on daily, it could distinguish the optimistic and the pessimistic. In the empirical research, we develop a time-series model and a cross-section model respectively to explore the explanatory power of highly frequent investor sentiment to idiosyncratic volatility and capital asset mispricing. The results show that the new sentiment indicator can explain 21.31% of idiosyncratic volatility to individual share on average, and it has a great explanation of 36% to capital asset mispricing.
Creating Success Formula to Excel in Rural Markets
Authors: Mehrotra Dr. Manoj
Published: May 2016

The paper deals with the Rural Markets in the Indian context. There exist a number of myths about the rural markets. The paper attempts to reveal the hard facts that create a new understanding about the existing rural markets and the changing trends. It also highlights the need to focus on the rural market. Earlier it was a new geographic segment for the marketers but now there is no choice. Rural marketing therefore is not only a survival strategy but also a growth strategy for many firms. However, to be successful in the rural markets it not only requires an understanding about the factors and characteristics of this market but also the wise use of an effective marketing strategy. The focus of the paper is to discover as to how the elements of the marketing are integrated for the rural markets. Are they the same elements used in other markets i.e. the 4-P’s, or are there some different elements that increase the acceptance in the rural markets? It also aims to gain an understanding about the impact of these elements in creation of a model to succeed in the Indian rural markets. It further examines a success formula of “7-A’s Model” suggested by the author that will help the marketers to excel in the rural markets.

Emerging Scenario of Facilities and Concessions to Exporters in India-An Appraisal
Authors: Mazhar Syed Shahid , Srivastava Dr. Sankalp
Published: May 2016

Government of India like all other governments has been making sincere efforts to promote exports. After independence export promotion was given very low priority due to easy and adequate assistance from World Bank and other international institutions. After 1965 such assistance began to recede and as a result India had to depend on export promotion efforts to meet its development requirements. India then considered export promotion, as a major challenge to meet its import needs. Thus over the last couple of decades export promotion has assumed critical importance in Indian economy. The process of liberalization and globalization has further boosted the export promotion efforts. After economonic reforms, Government of India introduced various export promotion schemes like Duty Drawback, Special Economic Zone Scheme, Focus Product and Focus Market Scheme, Market Access Initiative Scheme etc to promote exports. Through this paper an attempt has been made by the researchers to study various export promotion schemes introduced from time to time to promote exports from India after economic reforms and their resultant impact.

Published: May 2016

Knowledge management (KM) and leadership in any organizations is an integrated perspective and can not be separated from each other. Raw information may be widely available to a number of agencies, but only some organizations will be able to convert the information into relevant knowledge and to use this knowledge to achieve their aims. The processes by which they do this are known as KM strategies. Major empirical studies and reviews are critically reviewed and placed within a theoretical framework derived from both early and more recent work in the field of Knowledge management and Leadership. Certain issues of linkage between Knowledge Management and Leadership will be taken in the form of questionnaire and few other research questions will be explored in this study. The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Knowledge Management and Leadership Qualities.

The tribal population in India is at different levels of socio-economic development. There are tribes which live in the forests and are exclusively dependent on forests for their livelihood by practicing hunting and food gathering. With their primitive technology, limited skills and traditional and ritual practices, their entire lifestyle revolves around the forests. On the other hand, there are a few tribal communities in the eastern part of the country, which have been totally assimilated in national mainstream. This paper intends to explore issues concerning Minor forest produce in Indian tribal areas along with role of civic bodies in this regard.
Venture Capital – A Tool in Promoting Entrepreneurship
Authors: Ramachandra Dr. Bhargav S V , Srinivasa Mr. G
Published: May 2016

Venture Capital (VC) is usually defined as an independently managed, dedicated pool of capital that focuses on equity or equity-linked investments in privately held, high growth companies. It is one of the important factors which contribute to the growth and potentiality of business as well as for entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs and SME managers face two key choices when financing their ventures: debt or equity. Debt in the form of personal loans (including credit cards) and bank loans, key sources for most nascent ventures, gives efficient incentives for managers to exert effort and allow entrepreneurs to maintain control. The availability and utility of debt vary significantly with economic conditions, which, in turn, will have an impact on the supply and cost of capital. To a lesser extent, entrepreneurs rely on equity financing, in which parties external to a venture obtain partial ownership (and control) in exchange for financial capital, thus diluting manager's incentives to expand effort. Equity financing is particularly important for high-growth ventures, since the amount of debt financing available may not permit sufficient rapid growth in volatile industries (for example, technology). Objectives and incentives that are well aligned between investor and manager are most efficient and facilitate additional value for the venture. The paper tries to bring out effect and growth of venture capital funding over a period of time with that of traditional funding. Criteria of venture capital decided by the general investment venture capitalists, and then finally adding the conclusion of role and importance of Venture Capital in the Entrepreneurial Development.

Modern society depends for its functioning if not for its survival, on the effectiveness of large scale organizations, on their performance and results, on their values, standards and self-demands. And this is largely dependent on employee effectiveness. But it is a difficult proposition because today workplace stress has become a major concern of the present times posing challenges for both, the society as well as the industry. This stress, called differently as occupational stress, is a natural concomitant of work life, a phenomenon that is inevitable and has serious implications for employees and by extension organizational health. In this present paper efforts have been made in understanding the intriguing nature of stress and the factors that influence employee working in banks.

Authors: Narula Shelly
Published: May 2016

Children's wear clothing comprises of clothing, designed for children under the age of 14. It is a sector which despite of the pressure on disposable income, expects the market to be most resilient by volume. Parents are reluctant to cut back on Children's wear. Purchases are more need-driven and the market is value-driven, allowing for high volumes – supporting volume recovery. One major factor that will boost the Children's wear market is the current demographic trend towards higher birth rates. In 2010, the total UK market for Children's wear was valued at £5.91bn, increase by 6.5% from 2009. Further, Verdict Retail forecasts the Children's wear market to grow by meager 1.7% in 2012, underperforming total clothing due to lower inflation. This article highlights the findings of a case study on Marks & Spencer (Bond Street, London) a leading UK brand, whose market share, fell down considerably in the Children's wear Department. The suggestions and consultancy have been provided for the brand, to improve their market share in the changing and volatile environment which was once, a market leader in the Kids-wear segment in UK.
Stress and Burnout: Solutions to a Global Problem
Authors: Prasad Ajay Bhushan
Published: May 2016

21st Century is an era of stress and burnout. For the past few decades it has been a burning and hot topic of discussion for researchers, to evolve stress and burnout- from a global problem to global solutions, as it affects the life of individuals in an unprecedented manner and touches them at workplace across the globe. Everybody knows what stress is all about. It has become a part of life and perhaps, to some extent, necessary at work and outside work. Some people are more productive and creative when they work under stress. But if stress is intense and continuous, then it becomes a negative phenomenon leading to physical illness and psychological disorders. Stress and burnout in today's environment has become a well documented problem. Various researches have evaluated stress and burnout in workplaces. Stress is a non-specific response of body to any demand made on it. Many researchers have identified that stress and burnout has become an integral part of our daily life due to the negative aspects of job, such as, multiple responsibilities, disciplinary problems, employee's apathy, involuntary transfers, inadequate pay and perks, less chances of career advancement and lack of administrative support etc. As a result of these, individuals are likely to suffer from stress and may experience a sense of tiredness and frustration. When prolonged stress continues and it is not effectively managed, it can even lead to symptoms of burnout, a state of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and diminished personal accomplishment in the workplace. Stress management can be done through six zones which we have discussed in detail, with a holistic approach. It includes health zone, intimate zone, family zone, work zone, social zone and spiritual zone. In this paper, an effort is made to discuss the solutions of stress and burnout in different and innovative ways through different zones which have been experienced by the author in his 20 years of professional career. Thus, stress and burnout are not a trivial problem but a major dysfunction of the 21st century, which has far reaching impact on quality and quantity of productivity. The present paper explores the concept of stress and burnout, the major differences between them, factors leading to genesis of the problem, various symptoms and how it is a serious quality concern for all professionals. Appropriate interventions for prevention and management of stress and burnout are also suggested.
Carbon Trading – A Profitable CSR Initiative for Reducing Economic Asymmetries among Nations
Authors: Mitra Shruti , Verma Amit
Published: May 2016

Another international climate change summit, this time in the Qatari city of Doha, has concluded without a binding agreement reached on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The failure of 18th Conference of the Parties (COP18) was anticipated beforehand by everyone involved, and met with widespread indifference on the part of international media. Since, the debacle at Copenhagen summit in December 2009—which broke up without agreement on a post-Kyoto climate treaty amid bitter conflicts between the major powers — annual UN-sponsored climate summits have been restricted to negotiating various secondary issues, unrelated to the question of binding emissions targets. Heads of government have not gathered to discuss the issue in past three years, leaving junior ministers and diplomats to head negotiating teams at the subsequent summits at Cancun, Durban, and Doha. The inability of world leaders to even meet to discuss the climate change crisis, represents a devastating indictment of capitalist system. Overwhelming scientific evidence points to the serious threat posed to world's population by excessive emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The forecasts made in first UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report, in 1990, have proven accurate. “We've sat back and watched the two decades unfold and warming has progressed at a rate consistent with those projections,” Matt England, of the University of New South Wales' Climate Change Research Centre, told Australia's ABC Radio. “The analysis is very clear that, IPCC projections are coming true. And at the moment, we are tracking at high end in terms of our emissions, and so all of the projections that we look to at the moment are those high end forecasts.” However, the researchers believe that the conclusions will have a broader implication, that will surely help developing nations in not only reaching, the much sought economic integration among them and reducing Economic Asymmetries with developed nations, but also in reducing the emission levels to save our planet. So, if a revolution has to be there in International trade and globalization, be it the Green Way!
