1. About Punjab
The word "Punjab" is made up of two Persian words 'Panj' and 'Aab'. Panj means five and Aab means water(Rivers). This name was probably given to this land possibly in an era when this region came into close contact with Persia. The Punjab was known as land of five rivers because of the five rivers that ran through it. They are Indus, Ravi, Beas, Sutlaj and Ghaggar. Prior to Persian period this region was known by different names at different times. Probably, at the height of its glory it was known as Sapta Sindhu, land of the seven ri...

2. The Rising Costs of Climate Change
Our increasing dependence on nonclean energy sources has come at a cost. Global warming is caused by an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases. These gases allow direct sunlight, or ultraviolet light, classified as short-wave energy, to reach the surface of the Earth. As this sunlight heats the surface, longer-wave infrared energy (otherwise known as heat) is radiated upwards into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases absorb this energy and prevent the heat from escaping into space, effectively trapp...

3. Business environment on global markets
Driven by an intensely competitive business environment, corporations have become increasingly dependent on global markets. Whether the drivers are revenue growth, cost reduction, or access to new knowledge, many of the most successful corporations already operate on a global basis. Even domestically focused companies are finding that competitive pressures are increasingly forcing them to expand beyond their borders. As already discussed, the cost advantages of production in key developing markets combined with h...

4. Potential Sources of Energy
Where will the world find all this energy? Oil, like water, is a finite resource. However, unlike water, we have been reasonably successful in finding more of it. Thanks to intensive exploration, the world’s proven oil reserves grew from 660 billion barrels in 1980 to more than 1 trillion in 1990. Despite consumption, oil reserves have hovered over 1 trillion barrels ever since. Technology makes it possible to stretch existing oil fields further than ever before. While conventional drilling techniques can l...

5. APPLICATION OF THE METHODS OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
APPLICATION OF THE METHODS OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS FOR ANALYSING OF THE POLICE OF THE REPUBLIC OF HUNGARY The decision of the Council of European Ministers of 21 November 1994 relating to the industrial competitiveness of the European Union has approved the motion concerning the elaboration of the quality development policy [1]. According to the approved motion the importance and extension of the quality view should be recognised in the field of both private and state service. "The competitiveness of Europe depends...

6. The New Consumer: Three Possible Scenarios
Consumption patterns are greatly influenced by purchasing power, which has risen globally, but most acutely in emerging markets. Future global economic growth will significantly influence the levels of wealth and purchasing power among consumers in different countries, as well as the continued spread of technological use among consumers. But the direction and speed of this growth between now and 2015 remain uncertain, since the rise and fall of economic cycles ultimately depend on how other macro factors unfold. ...

7. Barriers at the Frontiers of Science
Government intervention is being felt throughout the economy, from basic manufacturing to the most sophisticated telecommunications services. Nowhere is the effect stronger than at the frontiers of science and technology, where a host of new discoveries and developments is confounding existing regulations and rendering old ways of doing business irrelevant. Competing technical standards are on the rise and new ethical quandaries seem to be popping up everywhere, giving rise to increasingly complex regulatory issu...

8. Possible Scenarios of Regulation and Activism in the Context of Globalization
How regulatory patterns unfold in the future will be determined by how corporations respond to the new dynamics of regulation and activism emerging today. Companies already manage a diverse array of constituents, including governments, nongovernmental organizations, consumers, and the public, in addition to their own shareholders. As such, value-building companies that find creative ways to address broad social concerns and cooperate with interest groups may be better positioned for future success than those with...

9. Managing Water Scarcity
Dealing with water scarcity will require several actors and multiple solutions. One recommendation is to apply the market-based approach used with other commodities. An eight-ounce glass of water can be refilled for 2500 times less than the cost of a can of soft drink. Under these conditions, consumers have little incentive to conserve. A 1998 survey by the American Water Works Association indicates that 33 percent of the 60,000 public water systems in the United States encourage waste by offering volume discount...

10. Neighbourhood Management: Taking Involvement Further
The basis for the emphasis on community involvement must be that of effectiveness rather than sentimentality. At present local community interests are represented though Local Strategic Partnerships which draw together local public, voluntary and business sectors and take decisions about priorities and funding for neighbourhood renewal (such as the use of the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund). However, there are differences in the effectiveness of such groups nationally and in the balance of power held by the different representativ...
