Abstract: Environmental and socioeconomic crisis facing industrialized agriculture and food production has led to araise of agroecology. Horticultural production systems can be grouped into conventional (C) or agroecological (AE), based on management and technologies used. Soil management is a key tool to reach sustainability and farmer vision about soil health is a cultural product. The objectives of this study were to describe social profile of AE and C horticulturists of Chaco (Argentina) and to recognize how such farmers perceive soil quality (SQ) by means of surveys. Family farming was predominant. All farmers responded to a low-income state and study level was diverse. AE farmers were older. CO work for the markets, AE mainly for own consumption. In relation to soil, they did not perceive worms and erosion signs; they recognized the compaction and the presence of crust. Surface coverage was more important for AE farmers. Smell was well- known by all and majority tried to classify texture and detected soil aeration variations. SQ indicators with greater differences perception were surface crust, texture, aeration and soil color.

Keywords: agroecological and conventional horticulturists, perception, soil properties.

Abstract: Background: Notary is a public official who runs the profession based on principles of trust, honesty, thoroughly, independently, impartially, safeguarding the interests of those involved in law-drafting. As an independent profession because it is free from interference from any party, cooperation between notaries and banks by binding themselves with a cooperation agreement, not only damages the authority of an independent notary profession, but also has the potential to prioritize the interests of banks as creditors compared to the community as debtors which both require the services of a notary service in drafting authentic deeds. Research Method: This research is an empirical legal research, the research approach of this research is a sociological juridical.......

Disasters like earthquakes, landslides, floods and road accidents occur on a regular basis. The 2013 Kedarnath floods have highlighted the vulnerability of tourists visiting these regions where over 4000 tourists lost their lives. It is important to understand the vulnerability profile of tourists visiting different parts of Indian Himalayan Region. Nainital Townhsip of Uttarakhand state of India is a popular tourist destination prone to many natural disasters. The research identifies 12 indicators to understand the vulnerability of the tourists on the basis of extensive literature survey. The study collects information about these 12 indicators by surveying 200 randomly selected tourists visiting Nainital. It was found that tourists visiting Nainital are less vulnerable on account of their physical and socio-.....

Abstract: In contemporary times, quality assurance has become a topic of major discussions in the Nigerian education system. Every institution of learning tries to achieve and attain quality using every means available. Teacher education has been seen as an instrument for that purpose. Teacher education has transformed for over five decades of Nigerian's independence. However and sadly though, it has been on the down ward trend particularly in terms of its compromise of the societal core values that should inform quality assurance and improved educational standards generally in this country.
