Abstract: College students in the United States are quickly becoming the experts of technological advancements and their implementation into everyday life. Arguably one of the most popular advancements within the last decade is the use of Short Message Service (or texting) with mobile phones. The researchers chose to investigate how texting, within a romantic couple of the college generation, affected the relationship. Specifically, the researchers explored the effect texting had upon self-disclosure and the balance between autonomy and connectedness within a couple. Participants of the study hailed from a faith-based institution of higher education in an urban area of the Midwestern United States. The study thoroughly addressed the relationship between the frequency of texting and its aftereffects on both self-disclosure and the dyadic tension between autonomy and connection.

Abstract: The main objective of this study was to establish the determinants of profitability in the insurance sector in Kenya. In spite of the sector recording significant growth in gross written premium during the period 2010 to 2014, the state of profitability remained a matter of concern. Low solvency and liquidity ratios could mean that the financial health of the sector was in doubt. Hence, the sector's ability to meet both short-term and long-term financial commitments and obligations could be called into question. Moreover, this could be an indicator that while companies endeavoured to expand their market shares, they gave little attention to profitability objectives. So, it was important to identify the determinants of profitability in the insurance...........

Abstract: Some Islamic groups think that Islam should be the foundation of the state, and that the system/form of state compatible with Islam is khilafah (an Islamic state encompassing the whole world) and enforcing sharia (Islamic laws) as the constitution. This study aims to test theoretical model about attitude toward khilafah establishment (political attitude) in three Islamic fundamentalist groups. Based on social identity theory, system justification theory and social cognitive motivation approach, this study tries to understand how psychological needs (thee need of uncertainty avoidance and the need of threat management)..............

Abstract: The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of works on digital library evaluation that included data:construct that were evaluated; context in which evaluation were conducted;criteria that were chosen as a basis for evaluation, and methods that were used. Evaluation of digital libraries is not widely practiced. The corpus in this analysis represents the majority of efforts in digital library evaluation that contain data. Conclusions, among others, speculate as to the reasons for a relatively low presence of evaluation in digital library research and practice.

Abstract: Business activities in Indonesia consider family principle as an important aspect because this principle is the character of Indonesian life. Family principle comprises two values, i.e. mutual assistance and deliberation, as a depiction of Pancasila, the ideology of Indonesian people. These two pillars have become the main characteristics of Indonesian culture, which has the value of collectivism. Other values are applicable in other legal systems in Indonesia, such as in a memorandum of understanding, as long as they are in line with the two values of family principle.

Abstract: - Cooperative learning has been the centre of research in the past century due to its positive outcomes. Cooperative learning is a group learning activity wherein each learner in a group is held accountable for his or her learning and is motivated to increase the learning of others. It can also be regarded as classroom environment where students interact with one another in small groups to achieve a common goal. Cooperative learning works so well on all the teaching dimensions. It is a successful strategy which enhances active learning among students. The present paper analyses the theoretical implications of Cooperative learning.
