On the Use of the Causal Analysis in Small Type Fit Indices of Adult Mathemat...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Model evaluation is one of the most important aspects of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Many model fit indices have been developed. It is not an exaggeration to say that nearly every publication using the SEM methodology has reported at least one fit index. Fit is the ability of a model to reproduce the data in the variance-covariance matrix form. A good fitting model is one that is reasonably consistent with the data and doesn’t require respecification and also its measurement model is required before estimating paths in a covariance structure model. A baseline model of four constructs together with a combination of none, one, two, three or four additional constructs was constructed with latent variables: educational performance, socioeconomic label, self concept and parental authority using dichotomous digits 0 or 1 for each additional construct. 16 progressively nested models were considered starting with baseline model using the mathematics adult learners data from the modeling sample and employing some small fit indexes which are commonly used (AIC, CAIC, RMR, SRMR, RMSEA, 2 / DF among others) [1] to test the fitness of the model. The measures of model fit based on results from analysis of the covariance structure model are presented.
The Sov’reign Shrine of Veiled Melancholy- The Shadow of Consumption on La Be...QUESTJOURNAL
―Youth grows pale and spectre thin and dies‖ – John Keats, (Ode to Nightingale) Tuberculosis was one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented diseases of all times. Hailed as Consumption’s Poster Child, Keats' life, like Beethoven's, served as a pattern tor the Romantic artist. In acute distress and emotional turmoil, in 1819 masterpiece followed masterpiece. In Keats' poems we see a concreteness of description of the object he contemplates. All the senses - tactile gustatory, kinetic, organic, as well as visual and auditory combine to give the total apprehension of his experience. His experiences often accord closely with his personal, life and the disasters he had. Keats is austere in poetry and yet he keeps high colouring and variety of appeal to the senses and the mind. Tuberculosis remains with us today, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where more than a million people die of this disease each year. It is worth recalling its history and its association with literature with special reference to John Keats and his poetry- and specially La Belle Dame Sans Merci that shows a dominant forebrooding over man's mortality from it. La Belle becomes a representation of the disease in Keats’s La Belle Dame Sans Merci and reflects the poet’s struggle with tuberculosis.
Recruitment Practices And Staff Performance In Public Universities: A Case St...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Recruitment, as a human resource management function, is one of the activities that impact most critically on the performance of any organization irrespective of its size and location. Public Universities, known to train professionals that exhibit transformative leadership and successfully run blue-chip companies have equally suffered from rampart industrial unrest and human resource malpractices across Kenya. Could it be a unique trend of organizational deviance that could be reflecting absence of a well executed staff recruitment practice? While it is understood and accepted that poor recruitment decisions continue to affect organizational performance and limit goal achievement, knowledge about this aspect in Public Universities remains scanty. The aim of this study was to address this gap by evaluating how recruitment practices affect performance of administrative staff in Public Universities using Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenya as a case reference. A cross-sectional survey design was employed while sampling strategy was a blend of multiphase, stratified and purposive sampling. A sample size of 124 out of 1150 comprised mainly of administrative staff was used and that a questionnaire was the principal tool of data collection. Results were analyzed using frequency tables, mean, standard deviation and simple linear regression. The study found that a recruitment policy existed at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kenya and that both external and internal recruitment practices were used to recruit employees at the University. However, it was noted that most of the university employees are recruited through media advert, internal advertisement, through transfers and promotions. The results of the regression indicated that recruitment practices are a significant predictor of employee performance, which was explained by 32% of variance and a moderate relationship captured by beta weight value of 0.57. On effectiveness of the recruitment policy, only 30% rated it as effective while 62% were indifferent and 8% rated it ineffective. The study concluded that although a significant relationship between recruitment practices and employee performance existed, it’s effectiveness and therefore positive impact on employee performance depended on employees’ positive perception and rating. It’s recommended that the Universities should avoid biasness in the recruitment process as this will negatively impact on employee performance.
Pesse Na Siri’ Budgetary System: A Historiography Study of Luwu Kingdom in Is...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to explore the budgetary system of pesse na siri’ at Luwu kingdom in the Islamic period of 1593 to 1945. Through the historiography method, it showed the base existence of the spiritual sense sensitivity, i.e., pesse (empathy) and siri’ (shame) and Islamic law in budgetary system. In the resources management, it was carried out in four stages, namely planning, implementation, reporting, and evaluation. Operationally, the pesse na siri’ budgetary system on the mobilization mechanism of resources or budget (balanca) through the top down system (i.e., known as balanca pole riwawo) and bottom up system (i.e., known as balanca pole riawa). The top down system was a mobilization resource form from agricultural products of the king’s land (i.e., known in Buginese language as Tanana datue) and the palace logistic. Meanwhile, the bottom up came from the resource offer–i.e., known as makkasiwiyang–mechanism, consisting of makkasiwiyang lili’ (the lower government level), makkasiwiyang ale (personal/individual), and makkasiwiyang reso (labor). One of the Islamic impacts in this system was to direct the budgetary system based on the Shari’a or Islamic law.
Fabrication of Complete Dentures for A Patient with Resorbed Mandibular Anter...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The loose and unstable lower complete denture is one of the most common problems faced by denture patients with highly resorbed ridge. The management of such highly resorbed ridges has always posed a difficulty to the prosthodontist.Obtaining consistent mandibular denture stability has longbeen a challenge for dental profession. The simplest approach often is to extend the denture base adequately for proper use of all available tisues.To achieve this goal impression of the resorbed mandibular ridge is very important. The objective is to develop a physiologic impression with maximum support of both hard and soft tissues.In such cases, an innovative technique of impressionmaking by using a close fitting tray and anelastomeric impression material tomake a proper impression to achieve maximum retentionand stability.This article describes an impression technique used for highly resorbed mandibular ridge using an all green impression technique, to gain maximum retention andstability
Steganographic Technique Using Instant Messaging Conversation DynamicsQUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT : Steganography is considered to be not only the science but also the art of hiding secret messages into other innocuous and non-secret media of different types. History of steganography started with the history of civilization and algorithms of data hiding have been constantly developed with the rise of mankind's knowledge. Some of steganographic algorithms are so close connected to the use of digital media, computers and information technology, that those algorithms do not have analogy in non-digital world. It is possible to see the use of hard disk drives (HDD), solid state discs (SSD) and file systems for the purpose of steganography, or steganography in TCP/IP networks as the example. In this paper we are concentrating on such algorithm and we are examining the possibility of the use of dynamics of conversation realized with the use of instant messaging services, which are very popular standalone services or are part of widely used social networks like Facebook. The paper discusses the possibility of hidden message encoding by the use of different parameters of conversation dynamics and introduces new algorithm and its program implementation. The last part of the paper summarizes results of its experimental use.

Exploring the Effectiveness of the Arabic LanguageTeaching Methods in Indones...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The aim of this research work is to identify the effectiveness of the Arabic language teaching methods in Indonesia(National University of Malang for Sample)in terms of making use of Arabic as a medium of communication among the students in the light of the modern approaches in teaching and learning of Arabic language. This research is methodologically characterized as a descriptive, analytical, evaluative and field research work. In order to arrive at the purpose of this study, a questionnaire has been designed and carried out on a specimen from the teachers of the concerned university. Eventually, the study has arrived into a finding that the method used in the university is the Eclectic Method (i.e. Selective Method), except that translation is utilized extensively with it, and it might influentially cause the depreciation of the communication skill of the students, and the major intermediary language for the Arabic language teaching is the Indonesian language. However, its uncontrolled over-usage in the Arabic language teaching procedure may negatively cause the weakness of the students in the listening and speaking skills, since they could not get enough opportunity to practice them during language learning, in addition to the fact that the teachers might be employed as Arabic language teachers on the basis of their high conversance with the grammatical rules of Arabic language and not on their skills in the Arabic language communication medium.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of Larkin as literary artist was to convey his ultimate message that man has to transcend the gross environment for the attainment for final goal. His poem opens with important question which prompt us to scrutinize ourselves. According to Philip Larkin “when you come to talk about once duty as writer then ones can say that his duty is to write for harmony”. In this paper there an urge in Larkin’s poem to attain transcendental knowledge by which everything is known. The meaningful change in environment through literature result from the development of qualities and attitude that foster constructive pattern of human interaction through literature. In an age of highly industrialized and mechanized structure of our society where we have 'given our hearts away a sordid boon' and where all spiritual values have been thrown overboard, the relevance of selecting this topic "Spiritual Quest in Philip Larkin" becomes important. In Larkin's poetry there is invariably, an element of spiritual crises, a note of subsequent struggle to step out of it. This inner conflict to proceed forward in the path of Divine realization lends magnificence to his poetic and spiritual personality.
The Influence of Religiosity on Marital Satisfaction and Stability AmongChris...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Various studies indicate that religious couples are more likely to enjoy stable and happy marriages. They are also less likely to experience conflict and violence, or to divorce perhaps because religion offers couples theologically grounded guidelines on how to handle marital conflicts when they arise. The present qualitative study was conducted using face to face interviews with nine participants in Kenya who had been identified as practicing Christians. The aim of the study was to explore how religiosity impacted the participant’s marital satisfaction. Results indicated that specific attributes related to religiosity like individual and partner prayer, reading the Bible, church attendance, impacted participants and their spouses lives positively and in turn their experiences in marriage. Engaging in religious practices was reported by the participants as eliciting qualities like perseverance, forgiveness and humility which in turn assisted them in keeping their marriages stable and thus resulting in marital satisfaction

ABSTRACT: Using the data from logging in a net of high density, the sand core from a airtight well, and the testing data for oil and gas , and then according to the experiment of exploitation, we studied the deposit visage in macroscopical way, the physical characteristics of the reservoir, and the partition of the oil and gas’s border. It is clear that the zero group of Sa’s oil floor is mainly deposit in the foreside of a delta under the background of lake incursion, and the ventro-delta express a character that there were some sandstones which was transited for two times. Make a certain that the oil and gas’s border of zero group in Sa is maybe 600m underground, and demarcated the maximal square is 26.8km2 about this reservoir, and tell us that it lies in the top of the anticline. Of course, this production can be used in the designing of the zero group of Sa’s exploitation
Down the Purgatory of Memories:The Pain of Remembering in M alayalam Naxal Ci...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT:Keralam, the southern most state in India is known for its cinema and politics. It is in Kerala that Communist Party came to power through Parliamentary election process for the first time in history. The political consciousness nurtured by the Communist movement found its reflections in Malayalam (language being spoken by the people of Keralam) Cinema as well. As a result films produced during the formative years of Malayalam Cinema were characterized by their political content. Having said this it should also be added that since those films are produced within the dominant production system with a view to garner profit they fail to politically stimulate the audience. But the situation had been changed after the Naxalite (radical left movement ideologically inclined to Maoism) uprising in 1969 during which both the feudal/bourgeois value orientations and the alleged degeneration of the Communist Party were challenged by the educated radical youths who fought for an immediate revolution. The state promptly intervened and contained Naxalite uprising with an iron fist. The repressive machinery of the state intervened whenever instances of resistance occurred. The Emergency declared in 1975 exposed the inhuman face of government that unleashed series of tortures against its citizens. The post -1980 political films, otherwise called as Naxalite films, try to recapture the tormenting experience of being political during the time of such mass oppression. Those movies resort to memory to expose the stark experience of the past.Remembering is a way of representing the past with all its nuances as it situates the remembering subject at close proximity with the past. At the same time Naxalite movies explored the possibility of forgetting also to unveil the subtle complexities of individual's relationship with the past. Here I consider two Malayalam films-AmmaAriyan(1986) directed by John Abraham and Margam (2003) directed by Rajeev Vijayaraghavan- to investigate how memory and oblivion are meticulously used by the filmic narratives to politicize a society already under the grip of political amnesia.
Professional Competences: An Integrative Approach for Defining The Training C...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This paper offers an integrative proposal for Business Administrationcurricular programs. For that purpose, we have carried out a survey with teachers from upper Business Administration courses so as to select a group of key competences for the contemporary Administrator, which has allowed us to elaborate an integrative proposal of curricular program for the Business Administration scholars in Brazil. As a qualitative research, it consists of a multiple case study with empirical approach and a triangular analysis based on Moraes (2014).Its main objective has been to analyze the curricular programs from five higher education institutions in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and two other foreign institutions in South America. At first, we have asked ourselves the following question: How to adapt the Business Administration curricular program to the contemporary needs as far as the vocational training competences of Administrators are concerned?In order to answer it, we have analyzed the National Curriculum Guidelines (DCN) and the Political-Educational Projects of Business Administration Courses (PPC/CSA). After that, we have compared the Curricular Components (CC) of the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) under analysis. After performing the triangular textual analysis of the DCN, PPC/CSA and CC of all HEIs under study, we have carried out a survey with 35 teachers from Business Administration upper courses through a computerized online questionnaire.We have sent a Survey Monkey link for a total of 40 teachers, however, only 35 answered it (87.5%); we have considered 100% valid answers. Previously, based on the doctrine of competences and curriculum according to the most renowned authors – suchas Vygostsky, Freire, Sacristán, Piaget, Saviani, Bloom, Libâneo (curriculum); Fleury & Fleury, Zarifian, Perrenoud, Lisboa (competences), among others – wehave concluded that implementing the integrative proposal will providemore well-prepared graduates from the Business Administration course right to the competitive and globalized labor market.
Resisting Total Marginality: Understanding African-American College Students’...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: This article explores collegiate Black identity development when African American students attend predominantly White institutions (PWIs) in the United States, considering the overall impact of total marginality. The term “total marginality” is used to describe the myriad, chronic, and often inescapable ways that African American college students attending PWIs are marginalized in a college setting. The focus of this paper is the impact of total marginality on Black identity development for those African American collegians who successfully complete their university studies at a PWI.
Alternative dispute resolution and civil litigation barriers to access to jus...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: Civil law is the predominate system of law in the world. Civil law as a legal system is often compared with common law. The main difference that is usually drawn between the two system is that common law drawn abstract rules from specific cases, whereas civil law with abstract rules which judges must then apply to the various cases before them. Civil law has its roots in Roman law, Common law and the Enlightenment, alongside influence from other religious laws such as Islamic Law. The legal system in many civil law countries are based around one or several codes of law which set out the main principles that guide the law. On the other hand, Criminal Law as offences and prescribes punishment for them. It not only precludes or prevents crimes but also punish the offender. It is necessary for the maintenance of law, order and peace within state. In criminal cases, it is the state which initiates proceeding against the offender. Laws relating to the Civil Proceeding as the Code of Civil Procedure 1908; the Civil Courts Act 1887; the Suit Valuation Act 1887; the Limitation Act 1908; the Registration Act 1908; & the Specific Relief Act 1877.

step, people repeated the brainstorm and choose process, emphasizing on divergent thinking, followed by
convergent thinking, with every step framing the creative footing for the next step.
1.1. OBJECTIVES
The present inquiry intends to achieve the following objectives:
To compare the mean pre-test achievement scores of experimental group and control group
To compare the mean post-test achievement scores of experimental group and control group
To find out the significance of gain in achievement scores of experimental group and control group
1.2. HYPOTHESES
On the basis of objectives of the study, the following hypotheses were formulated:
Statistically significant difference exists between the mean pre-test achievement scores of experimental
group and control group
Statistically significant difference exists between the mean post-test achievement scores of
experimental group and control group
Statistically significant gain in achievement scores exist in the pre-test and post-test of the experimental
and control group
1.3. METHODOLOGY
Since the main objective of the present study was to test the effectiveness of Creative Problem Solving
Model for Promoting Achievement among Higher Secondary School Geography Students, a quasi-experimental
method with pre-test post-test two group design was adopted. The study was conducted on a sample of 269 XIth
standard students from five different schools from Kottayam and Ernakulam district. Tools used are lesson
design based on Osborn-Parness model of Creative Problem Solving, lesson design based on prevailing activity
oriented approach, and achievement test in Geography. The statistical techniques used are descriptive statistics,
paired sample t-test, ANOVA and ANCOVA.
2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
2.1. Descriptive statistics of pre test and post test scores based on achievement in control and
experimental groups
The data on pre test and post test scores on achievement of participants from control and experimental
groups were collected and calculated the basic descriptive statistics. The details are given in Table 1
Table 1: Descriptive statistics of pre test and post test scores on achievement in control and experimental groups
Scores Groups N AM SD SE LCL UCL
Pretest
Control
136 35.16 8.09 0.69 33.79 36.53
Experimental 133 35.59 8.60 0.75 34.11 37.06
Posttest Control 136 35.10 8.12 0.70 33.72 36.47
Experimental 133 83.08 8.55 0.74 81.61 84.54
From Table 1, it is seen that for control group the mean of pre test score for achievement is 35.16 with
SD 8.09 and SE 0.69. The 95% confidence interval for the mean achievement of pre test scores of the
population varies from 33.79 to 36.53. For the experimental group, the mean of pre test score for achievement is
35.59 with SD 8.60 and SE 0.75. The 95% confidence interval for the mean achievement of pre test scores
ranges from 34.11 to 37.06.
Similarly, it is seen that for control group the mean of post test score for achievement is 35.10 with SD
8.12 and SE 0.70. The 95% confidence interval for the mean achievement of post test scores ranges from33.72
to 36.47. For experimental group, the mean of post test score for achievement is 83.08 with SD 8.55 and SE
0.74. The 95% confidence interval for the average achievement of post test scores ranges from 81.61 to 84.54.
The low SE values indicate that the arithmetic mean to estimate the average achievement scores is a
reliable and precise estimator. Thus there is an observed difference in mean pre test and post test scores on
achievement of participants in control and experimental groups. These observed mean differences were tested
for statistical significance using ANOVA.

From Table 2, it is seen that the calculated F ratio for pre test scores on achievement is 0.17 with P
>0.05. The inference is that the groups do not differ significantly in their mean pre test scores on achievement.
Again, the calculated F ratio for post test scores on achievement is 2228.86 with P < 0.01. The inference is that
the groups differ significantly in their mean post test scores on achievement.
2.3. Comparison of pre-to-post test Mean differences in achievement scores of experimental and control
group using paired sample ‘t’ test.

Posttest 83.08 133 8.55
**: significant at 1% level (P<0.01), ns: not significant (P>0.05)
From Table 3, it is observed that, in the control group there do not exist statistically significant
differences in the pre-to-post test mean achievement scores (t= 0.773, P>0.05). In the experimental group, there
exist statistically significant differences in the pre-to-post test mean achievement scores (t= 43.220, P<0.01).
Experimental group reported higher gain in achievement scores as compared to the control group.
2.4. Genuineness of post test mean differences based on achievement in control and experimental groups
From the above tables, it is seen that the pre test mean of scores on achievement in control and
experimental groups showed observed differences. Hence the two groups cannot be compared for their final post
test scores on achievement, unless the effect due to their initial pre test scores is eliminated. Hence the technique
of ANCOVA has to be adopted.

**: significant at 1% level (P<0.01)
From Table 4, it is seen that the calculated F ratio is 2690.44 which is statistically significant also (P <
0.01). Because of the presence of the covariate, one degree of freedom is reduced from within group variation
and also from the total variation. The inference is that, the two groups differ significantly in their post test mean
achievement scores after the effect due to initial pre test scores is eliminated. The adjusted post test means of
control and experimental groups are given in Table 5

From Table 5, it is observed that, if the effect due to initial pre test scores on achievement were
eliminated, the adjusted post test mean of control group is 35.18 with SE of 0.65. The 95% confidence interval
for adjusted post test mean of achievement scores ranges from 33.91 to 36.46. The adjusted post test mean
achievement scores of experimental group is 82.98with SE of 0.66. The 95% confidence interval for adjusted
post test mean of achievement scores ranges from 81.69 to 84.27. Hence the adjusted post test achievement
scores of experimental group is much higher as compared to the control group.

Comparison of pre-test and post-test achievement scores of experimental and control group using
ANOVA shows that the experimental group differ significantly in their post-test achievement scores in
Geography among higher secondary school students. The obtained ‘F’ value is 2228.86 which is
significant at .01 level (P<.01).
Comparison of pre-test and post-test achievement scores of experimental and control group using
paired sample ‘t’ test reveals that experimental group reported higher gain in achievement scores as
compared to the control group. (Control t= 0.773, P>.05; Experimental t= 43.220, P<.01)
The Analysis of Covariance on achievement scores of experimental and control group shows that the
two groups differ significantly in their post test mean achievement scores after the effect due to initial
pre test scores is eliminated. The calculated F ratio is 2690.44 which is statistically significant at 0.01
level. (P < .01)
The adjusted post test achievement scores of experimental group is much higher as compared to the
control group.
4. CONCLUSION
The study divulge that the present model is more effective than the activity oriented method for
ascertaining the objectives of learning Geography among higher secondary school students. This will encourage
students to be more innovative and creative in planning and solving complicated, open-ended problems and
makes learning more natural, flexible dynamic and meaningful .Each of the stages and components of the
model provides opportunities for geography learners to become effective in accordance with the demands of the
new world. Creative Problem Solving is an instructional expedient that prepares learners to identify worthwhile
controversial problems for further exploration and is useful for the development of critical and creative thinking
about complex, real-life problems, and is consociated with an attitude that fosters inquiry and the ability to carry
out learning systematically.
