These two educational practices empower leaders and foster excellence. Hence, this study determined the implementation level of TQM and SBM practices of principals representing the CALABARZON Region and their implications to school leadership and improvement. Descriptive method involving the collection of data to test the hypotheses and to counter the specific questions posited was utilized. Principals and teachers in the secondary schools from Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon were selected employing the Stratified sampling technique. Weighted Mean, Pearson R, and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis were applied to analyze the problems. The results confirmed that most of the TQM and SBM practices have significant impact to school leadership and improvement in high, average, and low performing schools in the CALABARZON Region, thus, the null hypothesis that TQM and SBM have no significant impact to school leadership and improvement was partially sustained.<#LINE#>Hoy C., Colin B-J and Wood M.

As determinants, the study takes five factors such as gross capital formation, foreign direct investment, interest payment on foreign debt, import, weighted average of per-capita income of the export destination countries into consideration. As a first step, the Unit root analysis is employed to test stationary properties of the variables. As a second step, Johansen’s Co-integration maximum likelihood method is employed to test the long run relationship among the non-stationary variables. As a third step, the Vector Error Correction Model was employed to describe the dynamic interrelationship among the variables. The results derived from this study suggest that all variables are significantly influencing on the export in the long run. In the long run, foreign direct investment, interest payment on foreign debt and import are found to have a positive impact, whereas gross capital formation and per capita income of the export destination countries have a negative impact. Foreign direct investment and per capita income of export destination countries significantly affect in the short run whereas import, gross capital formation and interest payment for debts are insignificant.<#LINE#>Kleinert J.

Trafficking mainly has taken place from less developed countries to economically advanced countries. Collection of data regarding trafficking is very difficult. Cross border trafficking for sex work through illegal migration has become a highly profitable demanding business and organized crime. It appears that every year about a million women and children are trafficked for various purposes, such as, to force them into working as labourer in various sectors, as domestic help and as prostitutes. The volume of sex trafficking is increasing day by day due to unprotected border control, bribe system and illegal migration. Trafficked women and children from countries like Bangladesh and Nepal are mostly brought into India. Objective of this paper is to focus upon the cross border trafficking and illegal migration. At the same time effect of trafficking for sex and its legal implications are also taken into consideration.<#LINE#>Coomaraswamy Radhika (2005).@Human security and Gender Violence.@Economic and political weekly, 40(44/45), 4729-4739.@Yes$Weitzer Ronald ( 2010).@The movement to criminalize sex work in the United States.@Journal of Law and society, 37,(1),61-84.@Yes$Macklin Audrey (2003).@Dancing across Borders: Exotic Dancers, Trafficking, and Canadian Immigration policy.@International Migration Review, 37(2) ,464-500, The center for Migration studies of Newyork, Inc.@Yes$Watson Joy and Silkstone Christine (2006).@Human Trafficking as a Form of Gender-Based Violence: Protecting the Victim.@Gender-Based Violence Trilogy, 1&2, 110-118, Published by Taylor & Francis, Ltd. on behalf of Agenda Feminist Media.@Yes$Anti human traffickin (2014).@Site of Association of Bengal collaborators.@www.abcdcalcutta.org/buildup-antitraffic.html, http://www.abcdcalcutta.org/buidup.html (accessed on 29.5.14,at 1 p.m)@No$Paul Bimalkanti and Hasnath Sayed Abu (2000).@Trafficking in Bangladeshi women and Girls.@Geographic Review., 90(2), 268-276, American Geographical society.@Yes$Singh Awadhesh, Singh Pratap and Khan Parveen Ahmed (2012).@Trafficking in women and children in India: Emerging perspectives, issues and strategies.@New Delhi: Serials Publications. 1-180, ISBN:978-81-8387-465-6.@No$Dutta Pranati (2005).@Feminizations of Nepali Migration to India.@IUSSP XXV international conference, Tours, France, July 18-23, 5, 37, 1-24.@No$Mcarthur Lisa (1996).@Nepal Women caught in Trafficking Rings.@Off ourbacks, 26(4), 7.@Yes$Wennerholm Carolina Johansson (2002).@Gender, Trafficking and Slavery.@Gender and Development., 10(1), 10-19, Published by Taylor & Francis, Ltd. on behalf of Oxfam GB.@Yes$Sukla Rakesh (2007).@Women with multiple sex partners in commercial context.@Economic and political weekly, 18-21.@Yes$Andrijasevic Rutvica (2007).@Beautiful Dead Bodies: Gender, Migration and Representation in Anti- Trafficking campaigns.@Feminist Review, 86, 24-44, Palgrave Macmillian Journals.@Yes @Case Study <#LINE#>Livelihood, Climate Change and Fisheries: A Case Study of Three Fishing Communities of Northwestern Bangladesh<#LINE#> Galib@Shams Muhammad*, Hoque@Md Nazmul, Akter@Sumana, Chaki@Nipa,Mohsin@ABM <#LINE#>18-25<#LINE#>4.ISCA-IRJSS-2016-111.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh@Department of Sociology, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh@Department of Sociology, Varendra University, Rajshahi 6204, Bangladesh@Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh and Geography and Planning, University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia @Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi 6205, Bangladesh<#LINE#>18/7/2016<#LINE#>4/8/2016<#LINE#>This paper describes the livelihood status of three riverine fishing communities, i.e. the Brahmaputra, the Fakirni, and the Mahananda; in relation to climate change issues and fisheries in the northwestern Bangladesh based on a detailed survey, questionnaire based interview and focus group discussion carried out from January 2013 to December 2014. The highest mean age (44.68±14.37 years) was recorded for the fishermen of the Brahmaputra River. Over one-third (76-92%) of the members were Muslim and the remaining were Hindu. Experience of fishing in the river was positively correlated with age but negatively with the level of education (p<0.01). Poor level of education was found for majority of the respondents and it was negatively correlated with the age of the respondents (p<0.01). Though small amount of household and agricultural lands were found to be owned and operated by the fishers but there was no one owned a water body. Access to non-government organizations by the respondents was more common than that of government organizations mostly for receiving loans and rarely for training. Fishes, both small and large, represented the prime source of protein in the household diets. Habitat degradation and fragmentation, restricted access to water body, and reduction in fish catch were the prime vulnerabilities and problems of the respondents resulted in involvement in some other income generating activities, primarily crop production and to some extent, as daily laborer. This study concludes that fishing communities of small rivers are particularly vulnerable in Bangladesh.<#LINE#>DoF (2015).@National Fish Week Compendium 2015 (in Bengali).@Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 1-144.@No$Islam M.R., Hoque M.N., Galib S.M. and Rahman M.A. (2013).@Livelihood of the fishermen in Monirampur Upazila of Jessore district, Bangladesh.@J.

There are two facts that make this region attractive to Romanians. The first one is that it is new and new destinations, surrounded by a small amount of mystery and exoticism always appeal to the market. The second reason is that the array of destinations in this region is suitable for a large number of types of tourism: coastal tourism, religious tourism, shopping tourism and of course, cultural tourism. However, even if as already mentioned, mystery and exoticism have the potential to make a destination more attractive, too much of this, especially mystery, can have the exact opposite effect in tourism, driving customers away. Considering this, it was decided to split this paper in two main parts: the first one analyzes the current state of the tourist offer to the Middle East in Romania by means of analyzing the offers of certain tour operators and the second one is a direct research which had the purpose to determine the level of knowledge the survey\'s subjects had regarding the Middle East and tourism to this region.<#LINE#>Baron R., Zielke N., Zintel M. and Schäfer (2009).@Tourism Industry in Turbulent Times: Identifying Ways out of the Economic Crisis.@ADL Publishing, Brussels, 3-9.@Yes$Ciuchete S. and Stănciulescu G.
