    Despite the vast amount of research on leadership, there is still more to be learned. The study of leadership commenced in the late 19th century with the focus on “Great Men” (Bass, 1974). This theory examined the lives of great leaders in history. Primarily these were men, however, some women leaders were included in these studies. Some examples are figures such as Moses, Winston Churchill, Thomas Jefferson and many others who have shaped the course of history for good or evil (1974).…

    As marine environments are under increasing anthropogenic pressure, there is a need for decision support systems (DSSs) and management tools that allow to tackle some of the environmental problems associated with this pressure and to allocate the different uses in a sustainable way. Most marine management tools are built around the Driver-Pressure-StateImpact-Response (DPSIR) framework, where indicators are selected which are able to quantify each of these different components. Other available decision support systems are impact assessments, spatial planning, multi-criteria analyses and socio-economic valuations. The ideal DSS should integrate information on both socio-economic and ecological factors to be able to allow balanced, sustainable decisions. While several socio-economic valuation tools have been developed and used for marine management in the past, the integration of biological information in the decision framework was usually done by using ecological indicators. Although there exists a wide variety of literature on ecological indicators, integrative, system-level indicators are still lacking. This asks for the development of a new indicator that integrates all available biological information into one value which expresses the intrinsic value of a certain marine area. The general objectives of this thesis are the development, application and testing of a marine biological valuation methodology that is able to integrate all available biological information of an area into one indicator of intrinsic value. Examples of the application of the protocol to different case study areas are discussed to see how the methodology performs under different circumstances. Next to that, the thesis reviewed the possibilities of using the protocol for the implementation of several European Directives, which relate to nature conservation in the marine environment, and as part of…

    Eating is a daily necessity. According to the hierarchy of needs, a person must fulfil the physiological needs which are food, water, air and shelter. People concentrate on satisfying these needs before turning to higher needs. In a fast paced and affluent society, eating out in restaurants has also become an important social and business occasion. The consumers usually have a wide range of options to choose from. There are restaurants by the thousands offering a full range of food varieties and services. As the number of restaurants has mushroomed, so the business has become much more competitive. Being able to meet consumers' basic expectations in today's situation at best can ensure business survival. To be successful and outstanding, a restaurant has to be able to exceed consumer’s expectation by really understanding customer’s reasons for selecting a particular type of dining experience.…

    There are four specimens obtained from the area of sample – one for each of the used male and female cubicles, and another one for each of the same cubicles after they were cleansed as routinely done by the janitor. The isolation of the microbes in the samples obtained from the lavatories needed to be inoculated to obtain a pure culture. Proper aseptic was applied throughout the inoculating process. [1] After preparing the culture media and applying the necessary aseptic techniques, the swab containing the inoculum was introduced to the media, and using a nichrome inoculating loop, the inoculum was streaked using the clock method. The clock method was performed by drawing four different quadrants or sectors on the back-side of the plate containing the culture medium. The four quadrants were drawn in such a way that at the last two lines of every sector there is small portion termed as a tail [2] that is the actual starting point of the next sector. Streaking is performed from the first quadrant, and after that the last line of the first sector is used to initiate streaking for the next sector and so on. This helps in reducing the microbial population entering the next sector, and thus the population of microbes gets decreased by several folds. [3] This is a great factor since the virulence of the microbes is also dependent on its number of colonies. Upon incubation, we observe that with each and every successive sector, the isolation and separation of microorganisms gets better. The clock method is suitable when there is a high population density in any sample or given culture suspension of microorganisms. [2]…
