L’Oreal’s methods have brought it profitable results so far, we believe a shift in focus of the segmentation to age and gender can be considered to prolong its success. Although L’Oreal has always practiced differentiated marketing strategy to target several market segments, we think there is a segmentwhich has been largely neglected: If tapped, L’Oreal could see massive profits and success in India. In thiscase we believe L’Oreal should target the Men.

EFFECTS OF IMMUNACE AND IRON DEXTRAN ON ANEMIA AND IMMUNOSUPPRESSION OF T. BR...EDITOR IJCRCPS
Trypanosomosis has been associated with immunosuppression, anemia and oxidative damage while ImmuneAce and Iron Dextran
possess both immunostimulatory, antioxidative and erythrocytes enrichment effects. This study was designed to assess the effect
ofImmunace, Iron Dextran, Diminazene Aceturate and a combination of Immunace and Iron Dextran on T. brucei experimentally
infected rats to check packed cell volume (PCV) and parasitemiam. . Thirty rats, divided into six groups (A-F) of 5 each period and
were infected with Trypanosoma brucei 3 days post infection.They were treated as follows:3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 days post treatment
with 0.02gml-1 immunace, 0.2ml of Iron Dextran, 3.5mg Kg-1 of Diminazene Aceturate and a combination therapy of Iron Dextran
and Immuneace. Haematological parametres were significantly (p<0.05) higher in all infected and treated groups compared to
group E. Hence, overall anti-oxidants capacity mitigated the negative effects observed in the measured parametres in rats better
than single administration..
Keywords: African Trypanosomiasis, parasitemia, trace metals, Anaemia, Iron Dextran and Immunosuppression.

A business can use a variety of pricing strategies when selling a product or service. The Price can be set to maximize profitability for each unit sold or from the market overall. It can be used to defend an existing market from new entrants, to increase market share within a market or to enter a new market. Businesses may benefit from lowering or raising prices, depending on the needs and behaviors of customers and clients in the particular market. Finding the right pricing strategy is an important element in running a successful business.
On August 22, 2012 the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a new rule pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that requires publicly-traded companies in the United States to report the use of “Conflict Minerals”. Under the rule, Conflict Minerals are cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold woframite and their derivatives which have been limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten (collectively known as the 3Ts), that are sourced from mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or surrounding countries (collectively known as the “Covered Countries”.)
While the reporting requirements only apply to publicly traded companies, it also impacts any company supplying a company that is required to report since publicly-traded companies are requiring their suppliers to support their due diligence efforts.
This paper looks at Conflict Minerals regulations from the perspective of a company in the electronics manufacturing services (EMS) in terms of the processes necessary to support disclosure requirements and the likely support services needed over time.

Case Study Tarheel Textiles (4 pages)(The IIA Research Found.docxwendolynhalbert
Case Study: Tarheel Textiles (4 pages)
(The IIA Research Foundation, Case Studies in Internal Auditing, Volume 4, 2004)
Objective
This case study is designed to expose students to a variety of conditions that may or may not indicate a fraud has been committed. Consideration must be given to errors that are present in a normal business environment, internal control weakness accepted by management, as well as obtaining an understanding of procedures and their long-range effect on business. Students need to understand the overall control environment and not just deal with individual procedure errors.
Required
Please read all of the requirements carefully. Make sure your paper addresses each item. Please edit and proofread your paper. It represents 25% of your course grade. This assignment is to be completed using only the materials authorized for use in this class. If you have any questions as to what is expected, please contact the instructor.
1. If you were part of the audit team, what additional questions would you ask to gather more audit evidence? . You need to focus on what is most important to this case which is how to improve the process and secondly to render an opinion on whether a fraud has been committed. You must come up with at least 15 relevant questions. You must indicate what you hope to learn from each question (i.e., what is the intent of the question) and to whom the question would be addressed.
Parts 2-3 must be written as a formal audit report. Assume you are writing your report for senior management and the audit committee of the board of directors. There are many different ways to write an audit report. You are free to choose a format which works for you. In addition to the readings and discussion in week 7, you may want to view actual audit reports on www.gao.gov or a state web site and sample audit reports on KnowledgeLeader or AuditNet.
2. What is your overall conclusion concerning the internal controls over the Loom Reclamation Program? In your opinion, has a fraud been perpetrated? If so, what evidence supports the allegation? Is it firm enough to convict the person(s) in court? Please explain the rationale for your conclusions.
3. What are the ten most significant internal controls weaknesses in the Loom Reclamation Program? Give it a lot of thought. You need to write an audit comment for each item which includes your recommendation. When you describe an internal control weakness, make sure your intended audience will be able to understand it (i.e., senior management).
Background
Many of Tarheel Textiles' old Draper looms have recently been replaced with more modern and efficient weaving machines. Instead of being junked or scrapped, these surplus looms are sent by the plants to the Supply Support Division where they are stripped of all useable parts. These parts are reconditioned, stored, and placed on perpetual inventory records as used supply items.

To obtain suppliers for the muscles from turkey legs, heart of pigs, alligator claws, corn leaves and Kelp from the Chesapeake Bay, the company would need to consider the various legal ramifications of purchasing. There is need for the company to routinely sign purchase orders and contracts which commit them to the specific terms and conditions of purchase orders and contracts. There are several essential elements of a purchase order and they include:
I. The two parties, both the company and the suppliers, must be capable of delivering
II. The subject of the matter must be legal and valid
III. There must be mutual consideration
IV. The parties must reach an agreement by offer and acceptance.
All four elements have to be present for the contract to be legal. If any of the elements is missing it makes the agreement unenforceable before a court of law.
The details of the purchase contract need to be well defined and it should not be carried out in a hasty manner. This is because, once the contract has been approved, there are no changes which can be accepted. In addition to the purchase contract, a purchase requisition should be made available as it specifies the required parts. This is important because the five items which are required by the company are part of a whole and hence the need for the purchase requisition. These contracts are aimed at binding the supplier and the company together and to provide security to the company for a source of their raw materials. Whenever the company requires the raw materials to be supplied, a purchase order has to be created. This provides a records of the details of the raw material to be supplied by the suppliers.
Several elements need to be clarified in the contract to ensure that there are no misunderstandings between the supplier and the company. The first is the quality of the raw materials that the suppliers will supply and this ensures consistency and surety of products the company receives. The second component highlights the cost of the raw materials, that is the price which the suppliers will supply the raw materials per unit. The duration before the raw materials are supplied should also be specified to allow the company to calculate the lead time and avoid running out of raw materials. Finally, the duration of payment should also be outlined in the contract to stipulate the time taken before payment is made.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Chemical Industry-Indian Scenario
Global chemical production growth slowed down from 4.4% p.a. in 1999-2004 to 3.6% p.a. in
2004-2009, with global chemical sales in FY10 valued at $3.4 trillion. The industry is
increasingly moving eastwards in line with the shift of its key consumer industries (e.g.
automotive, electronics, etc.) to leverage greater manufacturing competitiveness of emerging
Asian economies and to serve the increasing local demand. This has led to share of Asia in
the global chemical industry increasing from 31% in 1999 to 45% in 2009.
With Asia’s growing contribution to the global chemical industry, India emerges as one of the
focus destinations for chemical companies worldwide. With the current size of approximately
$108 billion1
, the Indian chemical industry accounts for ~3% of the global chemical industry.
Two distinct scenarios for the future emerge, based on how effectively the industry leverages
its strengths and manages challenges. In such an optimistic scenario, high end–use demand
based on increasing per capita consumption, improved export competitiveness and resultant
growth impact for each sub-sector of the chemical industry could lead to an overall growth
rate of over 15% p.a. and a size of $290 billion by 2017 (~6% of global industry).
The draft manufacturing policy recently approved by the Cabinet targets increasing the share
of manufacturing in GDP to at least 25% by 2025 (from current 16%). It aims to create 100
million additional jobs through creation of National Investment and Manufacturing Zones
(NIMZs) as mega investment regions, equipped with world class infrastructure. These zones
will enjoy fast track clearances from the environment ministry and state pollution boards,
special policy regimes, tax concessions and more favourable labour laws. Investments in
manufacturing in the chemical sector are absolutely essential to ensure growth of the Indian
chemical industry.
The various segments of the chemical industry (such as organic chemicals, specialty
chemicals, chlor-alkali, pesticides, colorants and alcohol based chemicals) have their own
unique set of challenges. The industry can grow only if these individual segments overcome
their challenges and move swiftly along the growth path.
With Asia’s growing contribution to the global chemical industry, India emerges as one of the
focus destinations for chemical companies worldwide. With the current size of $108 billion1,
the Indian chemical industry accounts for approximately 7% of Indian GDP. The chemicals
sector accounts for about 14% in overall index of industrial production (IlP). Share of industry
in national exports is around 11%. In terms of volume, India is the third-largest producer of
chemicals in Asia, after China and Japan. Despite its large size and significant GDP
contribution, India chemicals industry represents only around 3% of global chemicals.
About GACL
Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Limited (GACL) was incorporated on 29th March, 1973 in
the State of Gujarat by Gujarat Industrial Investment Corporation Limited (GIIC), a wholly
owned company of Govt. of Gujarat, as a Core Promoter.
In 1984, the second stage expansion to increase the capacity of Caustic Soda Plant to
103,425 MTPA was undertaken. Simultaneously, the Company undertook the diversification
1
Chemical industry size as per CMIE 2010
4. project for manufacture of 10,560 MTPA of Chloromethanes using Chlorine, a co-product of
the Company and in 1991, the capacity of Chloromethanes production was doubled.
Since production of Caustic Soda is highly power intensive, in order to reduce power cost
and to eliminate mercury pollution, the Company during the year 1989 converted one of its
Cell Houses producing Caustic Soda from Mercury Cell Technology to environment friendly
Membrane Cell Technology, thereby eliminating the use of mercury. The Capacity of Caustic
Soda was also increased to 132000 MTA.
As part of this Membrane Cell Conversion Project, a new facility for manufacture of 16500
MTA of Potassium Hydroxide Lye based on Membrane Cell was also set up. The Company
has further set up facility for converting part of this Caustic Potash Lye into Potassium
Carbonate with a capacity of 13200 MTA.
In 1995, as a part of diversification programme and to meet the growing demand of its
products in the State of Gujarat and nearby areas, the Company had set up a plant for
manufacture of Technical Grade Phosphoric Acid with capacity of 26400 MTA (85%
Phosphoric Acid) at a new location at Dahej, District Bharuch. The Company also set up
Membrane Cell based grass root Caustic-Chlorine Unit with a capacity of 100000 MTA at
Dahej. Alongwith this, a captive 90 MW co-generation Power Plant was set up so as to
ensure uninterrupted and low cost power for its captive operations.
