Abstract: Great intellectual designs of Labelling machines are widely in use for packaging product in manufacturing industries. Hands-on experience on varieties of these designs had spun the idea on which the improvement discussed in this article is designed. For every labelling machine, we have the labelling head and a Gap sensor, these two components are universal and common to all labelling machines. The vertical movement (aided by a hand wheel) of the labelling head is often used in adjusting the upward-downward position of labels on bottles while horizontal movement of the Gap sensor adjusts the right-left movement of labels on bottles. In this article, electronic means is designed to automatically do label adjustment on bottles, eliminating the crude mechanical hand wheel and hand adjusting been employed by most labelling machines available industries today. This article aims..............

Abstract: Compliance Education (CE) is one of the critical performance functions of the Corporate L&D (CLD) department of all organizations where compliance matters. The price of non-conformance as well as price of conformance, is high stakes too. One of the key factors of compliance measurements is conformance to norms, and the norms include compliance towards the subject of CE itself from a knowledge management perspective. The compliance to CE acts as one of the prime performance criteria of CLD, with high stakes for business continuity, as well as Business Process Excellence (BPE); many functions at an organization level are dependent on a reliable CE for their process integrity. Further, CE itself, is closely linked to continuing education, and in many cases the learners are participating in the CE Learning Intervention (LI) not for the first time. Therefore, there is a high degree of repetition of Terminal Objectives (TO), and therefore enabling Objectives..............

Title	:	Social Adjustment And School Integration Of Remigrant Students-A Study For Romania
Country	:	Romania
Authors	:	Horatiu Catalano
	:	10.9790/7388-0804013238

Abstract: The issue of remigration is a relatively new and dynamic phenomenon. If migration was considered to be a major problem in Romania, especially after the 1990s, the return to the native country led to the emergence of a new challenge, the reintegration into society of the returned families . One of the most important aspects, with serious consequences in some situations, is the adaptation of the re-migrant children to the requirements of the Romanian society and school. In order to identify the problems of integrating the re-migrant children, we initiated a quantitative study on a sample of 90 pupils, their parents and the teachers of the class they are in. The main............

	:	10.9790/7388-0804013945

Abstract: The skills that pupils need for their career and the growing discrepancy between them and what is being taught/tested in schools is a pressing issue of education in the world, especially the one in the Romanian system of education. A good question is how can these teachers develop these skills to teenagers who matter most to the unlikely future of human development? Often, educators are not aware of the type of education needed to promote teenagers who think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate to achieve learning goals, solve problems other than traditional-disciplinary ones that are in contradiction with the achievement of some high scores on tests, which, in most cases, did not incorporate rigorous performance criteria. This article focuses on the results obtained in a 12-month research on.............

Abstract: Instructional supervision is key to effective teaching. Whereas emphasis has been put on external instructional supervision, less attention has been given to Internal Instructional Supervision (IIS), probably because its influence on teaching effectiveness is yet to be established. Kakamega County is the second largest County in terms of population yet achievement in English is low at a mean score of 5.28 in Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examination (2007-2012). The County's Panel of Standards Assessment report, 2010 and 2011 pegged this to weak IIS structures. The purpose of this study was to establish influence of teachers of English's attitude towards IIS on their teaching effectiveness. A conceptual framework constituting of attitude of teachers of English towards internal instructional supervision as the independent variables and teaching effectiveness as the dependent variable was used. The study..............
