Abstract:
The Punjab education system has witnessed significant expansion in public higher education, both in terms of number of institutions as well as the students’ enrolment with 10 state universities and 48 government colleges. But higher education sector in Punjab still confronts various problems. The extent of various factors of higher educational institutions effectiveness depends on individual features such as demographic variables. This article investigates the difference in the satisfaction of students towards college effectiveness on the basis of demographic variables. The sample of the study comprised of 369 students from the various government colleges of Punjab, and the data was analysed using mean value, t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that on the basis of gender significance, differences were found in the case of infrastructure facilities, extracurricular activities, financial administration and placement services of the colleges. In the case of level of education, bachelor’s students were most satisfied for infrastructure facilities, placement services, student support services and financial management of the colleges. On the basis of course stream, arts group and commerce group were significantly different on responding towards the academic environment. In the case of college administration, significant differences were found between commerce and science groups, and for extracurricular activities differences were found among arts, commerce and science groups. According to the location of the colleges, significant differences were found in extracurricular activities and financial administration of the colleges.

Abstract:
This study identified predictors of employment for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Data from 4,923 individuals with TBI were extracted from the Rehabilitation Services Administration’s Case Service Report (RSA-911) database. A multiple logistic regression model using demographics, disability-related variables, vocational rehabilitation (VR) service variables, and their interactions correctly classified 69.5% of the cases as successfully employed or not successfully employed. The model explained approximately 27.1% of the variance in employment outcomes. Results indicated that level of education, race/ethnicity, age at application, preemployment status, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), comorbid depression, and case expenditure were significantly associated with employment outcomes (all p ≤ .05). VR variables that showed the most significant positive effect on employment outcomes were on-the-job support, job placement, and on-the-job training. Race/ethnicity moderated the effect of college training, supported employment, transportation, and extended evaluation or work trial assessment services on employment outcomes. The findings have implications for promoting the use of those VR services that are strongly related to employment outcomes for persons with TBI. They also point to the need for rehabilitation personnel to address some of the demographic and disability-related barriers to successful employment.

Abstract:
This study assessed the status of implementation of the policies on student affairs and services among state universities in the Island of Samar, as basis for program enhancement. This determined the status of implementation of the following student welfare programs and services, vis-à-vis the policies of SUC’s in Samar Island with respect to admission, career and placement service, economic enterprise development, food services, guidance and counseling, health services, information and orientation service, international student service, research, monitoring and evaluation of student affairs and services, safety and security, scholarship and financial assistance, services of students with special needs, student discipline, student handbook and student housing. The four (4) SUC’s in Samar Island were selected as the locale of this study. These were the University of Eastern Philippines Main Campus (Catarman), North West Samar State University Main Campus (Calbayog City), Samar State University Main Campus (Catbalogan City) and Eastern Samar State University Main Campus (Borongan City) with the university presidents, deans/directors of the Student Affairs and Services, personnel, and students as respondents. Frequency counts, percentages, and weighted mean computations were used to analyze the descriptive data obtained from the respondents of the study who were chosen through complete enumeration for presidents, deans/directors and personnel and random sampling for the students, respectively. The status of implementation of the student welfare programs and services as well as student development program and services in different state universities in the Samar Island, were both rated as “very satisfactory” which means that these programs and services were much implemented. Hence, an action plan was prepared for further enhancement of the student affairs and services in state universities as an offshoot of this study.

Abstract Abstract 2553 Background: Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) filter placement has increased significantly over the past few decades, due to expanding indications for filter placement. Indications for filter placement vary widely depending on which professional society recommendations are followed. Our objectives were to record the number of IVC filters placed in our medium sized metropolitan teaching hospital, assess the effect of medical specialty on placement and evaluate compliance with accepted standards as set by the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) and the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR). Methods: Single-center, retrospective medical record review of all patients who received an IVC filter over 26 months (01/30/2008 - 4/5/2010). Inclusion criteria included patients from both sexes, all ages, filter placement within the aforementioned dates and inpatient procedures performed by interventional radiology. A total of 443 IVC filters were placed in our institution over the time period studied. 48.1% (213) of these filters were placed by interventional radiology. Of these, 187 were reviewed with 26 excluded do to incomplete patient records available at the time of review (July 2010). Medical records were reviewed for patient demographics, clinical course, and compliance with accepted guidelines set by the ACCP and SIR. Results: The average age was 75.3 years and 43.9% of the patients were males. 76.2% of patients were on the medical service (internal medicine and its subspecialties) whereas 22.8% were on non medical services. 87.2 % of filters were recommended by medicine and its subspecialties and 12.8% by non medical specialties. 43.3% of filters placed met guidelines established by the ACCP (Table 1). 79.1% of filters placed met SIR guidelines (Table 2). No documentation was available to assess compliance for 20.9% of filters. 46% of filters placed by internal medicine and its subspecialties met ACCP criteria whereas only 25% of filters recommended by non medicine specialties were compliant with criteria (p value=0.039, 95% CI). Physicians within internal medicine and its subspecialties were compliant with SIR guidelines for 84% of the filters placed, whereas only 46% of non medicine physicians met these indications (p=0.001, 95% CI). 35.8% of filters placed met SIR criteria but did not meet ACCP guidelines. Conclusions: Indications for IVC filter placement varied significantly in this study, less than half of filters placed met ACCP guidelines, yet over three-fourths met criteria set by the SIR, especially when comparing medicine and non medicine specialties. In analyzing the filters which meet indications set by SIR but not ACCP it becomes apparent that most of these are placed for patients classified as “fall risks”, failures of anticoagulation, limited cardiopulmonary reserve and medication noncompliance. Further research needs to be guided towards evaluating if these indications truly merit the placement of an IVC filter. This study strongly suggests a need for harmonization of current guidelines espoused by professional societies. A limitation of our study was that 230 filters placed by vascular surgery and interventional cardiology were not reviewed. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:
Background Across England, around 60,000 people live in mental health supported accommodation: residential care, supported housing and floating outreach. Residential care and supported housing provide on-site support (residential care provides the highest level), whereas floating outreach staff visit people living in their own tenancies. Despite their abundance, little is known about the quality and outcomes of these services. Objectives The aim was to assess the quality, costs and effectiveness of mental health supported accommodation services in England. The objectives were (1) to adapt the Quality Indicator for Rehabilitative Care (QuIRC) and the Client Assessment of Treatment scale for use in mental health supported accommodation services; (2) to assess the quality and costs of these services in England and the proportion of people who ‘move on’ to less supported accommodation without placement breakdown (e.g. to move from residential care to supported housing or supported housing to floating outreach, or, for those receiving floating outreach, to manage with fewer hours of support); (3) to identify service and service user factors (including costs) associated with greater quality of life, autonomy and successful move-on; and (4) to carry out a feasibility trial to assess the required sample size and appropriate outcomes for a randomised evaluation of two existing models of supported accommodation. Design Objective 1 – focus groups with staff (n = 12) and service users (n = 16); psychometric testing in 52 services, repeated in 87 services (adapted QuIRC) and with 618 service users (adapted Client Assessment of Treatment scale). Objectives 2 and 3 – national survey and prospective cohort study involving 87 services (residential care, n = 22; supported housing, n = 35; floating outreach, n = 30) and 619 service users followed over 30 months; qualitative interviews with 30 staff and 30 service users. Objective 4 – individually randomised, parallel-group feasibility trial in three centres. Setting English mental health supported accommodation services. Participants Staff and users of mental health supported accomodation services. Interventions Feasibility trial involved two existing models of supported accommodation: supported housing and floating outreach. Main outcome measures Cohort study – proportion of participants who successfully moved to less supported accommodation at 30 months’ follow-up without placement breakdown. Feasibility trial – participant recruitment and withdrawal rates. Results The adapted QuIRC [QuIRC: Supported Accomodation (QuIRC-SA)] had excellent inter-rater reliability, and exploratory factor analysis confirmed its structural validity (all items loaded onto the relevant domain at the > ± 0.3 level). The adapted Client Assessment of Treatment for Supported Accommodation had good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha 0.89) and convergent validity (r s = 0.369; p < 0.001). Supported housing services scored higher than residential care and floating outreach on six out of seven QuIRC-SA quality domains. Service users had a high prevalence of severe self-neglect (57%) and vulnerability to exploitation (37%). Those in supported housing (25%) and floating outreach (20%) experienced more crime than those in residential care (4%) but had greater autonomy. Residential care was the most expensive service (mean cost per resident per week was £581 for residential care, £261 for supported housing and £66 for floating outreach) but supported users with the greatest needs. After adjusting for clinical differences, quality of life was similar for users of supported housing and residential care (mean difference –0.138, 95% confidence interval –0.402 to 0.126; p = 0.306), whereas autonomy was greater for supported housing users (mean difference 0.145, 95% confidence interval 0.010 to 0.279; p = 0.035). Qualitative interviews showed that staff and service users shared an understanding of service goals and what constituted effective support. After adjusting for clinical differences, those in floating outreach were more likely to move on successfully at 30 months’ follow-up than those in residential care [odds ratio (OR) 7.96; p < 0.001] and supported housing (OR 2.74; p < 0.001), and this was more likely for users of supported housing than residential care (OR 2.90; p = 0.04). Successful move-on was positively associated with scores on two QuIRC-SA domains: the degree to which the service promoted ‘human rights’ (e.g. facilitating access to advocacy) and ‘recovery-based practice’ (e.g. holding therapeutic optimism and providing collaborative, individualised care planning). Service use costs for those who moved on were significantly lower than for those who did not. Recruitment in the feasibility trial was difficult: 1432 people were screened but only eight were randomised. Barriers included concerns about accommodation being decided at random and a perceived lack of equipoise among clinicians who felt that individuals needed to ‘step down’ from supported housing to floating outreach services. Conclusions We did not find clear evidence on the most effective model(s) of mental health supported accommodation. Indeed, our feasibility study suggests that trials comparing effectiveness cannot be conducted in this country. A range of options are required to provide appropriate support to individuals with differing needs. Future work Future research in this field requires alternatives to trials. Service planners should be guided by the mental health needs of the local population and the pros and cons of the different services that our study identified, rather than purely financial drivers.

Abstract:
The study examines career guidance services provided by school counsellors in secondary schools in Kano state. The study used 387 sample respondents drawn through purposive sampling from randomly selected schools. Questionnaire instrument with satisfactory psychometric properties was employed in data collection process. The results show that school counsellors assist students to identify their strength, abilities and learning style, help students to make appropriate career pathway selection, set educational and career goals, search for information about careers and work choices. However, school counsellors underperform in helping students to make future educational planning, college selection and placement. Moreover, no significant difference was found among gender excepts in educational Planning, college selection and placement with female students having better educational planning, college selection and placement. It is concluded that the school counsellors play greatly in the area of career decision making, goal setting and personal awareness. However, it is recommended that school counsellors should improve services involving future educational planning, college selection and placement.

Abstract:
The NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) stresses the need to empower all students and to encourage students to study mathematics throughout their four years in high school. For the past forty years, the Advanced Placement program of the College Board has offered students the opportunity to pursue collegiate-level course while in high school. The offering in mathematics consists of a full-year course in either Calculus AB or Calculus BC. Each Advanced Placement course culminates with an examination, typically three hours in duration, for which students may receive college credit or advanced standing when entering college.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Recent studies show small-bore chest tubes, commonly 14 French pigtail catheters (PCs), are noninferior to large-bore chest tubes for treating various conditions, and they are associated with better patient comfort. The Medical College of Wisconsin implemented a bedside procedure service (BPS) that has been trained in the placement of PCs as an adjunct to its interventional radiology department. METHODS: The data regarding consults for PC placement was collected by the BPS over a 2-year period. Primary outcomes reviewed were insertion-related complications (IRCs), unsuccessful attempts (UAs), and adverse outcomes (AOs) because the authors believe these represent the safety and effectiveness of the group. It was determined which services consulted the BPS for PC placement, the indications for consults, and a brief review of declined PC consults. RESULTS: Of the 124 accepted consults, the service had 3 IRCs (2.4%), 2 UAs (1.6%), and 3 AOs (2.4%). A total of 18 consults were declined. The BPS was consulted by 12 services with 8 primary reasons for PC placement. CONCLUSIONS: At high-volume, tertiary care centers, and with the support of cardiothoracic surgical and interventional radiology services, procedure-focused hospitalists can safely serve as an adjunct service for PC placement in selected hospitalized patients.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to describe the development and evaluation of integrated intensive support service (ISS) for adults with learning disabilities who have complex needs and are at risk of admission to an inpatient unit. Design/methodology/approach Existing services were remodelled. The service explored external service models and established an integrated ISS comprising intensive community support and intensive support beds. Findings Data indicates that the majority of people referred to the service avoid both admission to an inpatient unit and placement breakdown. Most people admitted to the inpatient unit are not known to community services. Length of stay has significantly reduced. Practical implications Other services can use the information to remodel how to provide intensive support and avoid admission to an inpatient unit. Originality/value It demonstrates how remodelling can drive improvements to reduce placement breakdown and risk of admission.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a computer-assisted career information delivery system (CIDS), Virginia VIEW, with a computer-assisted guidance system (CAGS), DISCOVER, at a Virginia community college using parts of Shealy' s 1982 evaluation model patterned on the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee's specifications. User impact, user satisfaction, and economic efficiency components were studied. Screened volunteers in this five-week unstructured study were randomly assigned to four treatment groups of 25 students each: (A) Virginia VIEW; (B) Virginia VIEW and DISCOVER; (C) Control, wait for five weeks before using DISCOVER or VIEW; and (D) DISCOVER. Program completers (A=l7), (B=l8), (C=l9), and (D=20) took the Career Development Inventory (CDI) developed by Super and the Career Decision Scale (CDS) developed by Osipow as pre- and post-test instruments. Counseling assistance was available at all times upon request and records were kept on CIDS/CAGS User Logs. Student Planning and Counselor's Observation Logs were also kept. Based on the pre- and post-test results of the CDI and CDS, students did not differ in the affective, behavioral, and cognitive areas of career development and decision making at the end of five weeks (user impact). Students did not differ in their opinions (user satisfaction) of the information development, information delivery, or user service components of the two systems. Results on economic efficiency revealed that Virginia VIEW was less expensive per student user, while DISCOVER was less expensive per student hour of use. There were no clear differences in the three areas evaluated by this study between Virginia VIEW or DISCOVER. It was recommended that Shealy' s model be used again to evaluate the Interactive Virginia VIEW against DISCOVER and SIGI. Further research was also recommended in the use of the weekly Quantitative and Qualitative Student Career Planning Log.

Abstract:

All students should leave high school equipped with the academic and technical skills necessary to pursue higher education and/or a career. In a changing world, this now means that workforce readiness now demands the same high level of knowledge and skills needed for those who plan to pursue a post-secondary education. While Career and Technical Education (CTE) plays a critical role in accomplishing this goal, it is not always included in the college and career ready conversation. The purpose of this study was to determine what educational outcomes influence student placement in college, career, or both at 12 and 24 months after graduation and what can be learned by examining patterns of those outcomes that will advance current knowledge relative to placement in college or career.

The research study used ex post facto data in a quantitative non-experimental correlational research design to retrospectively examine placement at 12 and 24 months after high school graduation to determine which educational variables (independent variables) most significantly influenced placement (dependent) in college and career or both. The sample included 6,145 graduates from a Maryland school system. Data analysis included Chi-Square with Cramer’s V and Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection (CHAID).

The key finding indicated that participation in Advanced Placement (AP) college level courses while in high school, was the most significant predictor of placement at 12 and 24 months after graduation indicating that continued exposure to college level courses throughout a student’s high school experience can overcome performance on standardized tests intended to determine college and career readiness. The study also confirmed that a significant number of students who selected traditional career pathways also pursued college. This speaks to the importance of preparation for both college and career no matter what industry the student intends to pursue.

The purpose of this study was to determine tourism students’ perceptions of their Experiential Learning (EL) experiences based on the Predicting Learner Advancement through Cooperative Education (PLACE) four-component model. The research objectives were to ascertain Experiential Learning’s impact on the four components namely Personal Development, Career Development, Work-skills Development and Academic Development. This study fits within the pragmatic paradigm and utilised an explanatory mixed methods research design which requires quantitative data to be collected first with follow-up qualitative data. The data collection instrument for the quantitative data was the PLACE model, which was in the form of a survey questionnaire and the data generating strategy for the qualitative data was individual interviews. The findings of the data were heavily skewed toward the positive end of the spectrum with students viewing the impact of EL on the four components as favourable. Interviews were conducted with participants whose results showed deviations from the norm and had particularly negative experiences. Academic Development had extremely low Cronbach Alphas, which points to poor reliability. This phenomenon was also further explored during the interviews with participants making suggestions for factors to be considered. Recommendations were made to the three stakeholders of EL namely students, employers and academic coordinators in order to ensure improved Experiential Learning programmes and maximised student benefit.

Abstract:

Recent studies suggest that using multiple measures can potentially reduce misplacement and improve student success in college (Bracco et al., 2014; Ngo, Kwon, Melguizo, Prather, & Bos, 2013; Scott-Clayton, 2012). Minimal research, however, describes the multiple-measures placement in community colleges, at the institutional level. An embedded mixed-method (quantitatively dominant) study was employed to investigate the relationship between student success and a multiple-measures placement process implemented at a Northeast community college. Four research questions guided the study:

1. To what extent do students enroll in courses recommended by the placement process?

2. To what extent and in what manner can variation in first term academic success be explained by high school GPA and ACCUPLACER® scores?

3. Is there a relationship between students’ ACCUPLACER® scores and first term academic success?

4. How do academic advisors describe their perceptions and expectations of the placement process on student academic success?

The sample included students (N=1,073) enrolled in Mathematics courses and students (N=1,537) enrolled in English courses from Fall 2014 to Spring 2016. Analyses of ex post facto data included: descriptive statistics to describe placement and enrollment patterns, correlation analysis to examine relationship between academic success and high school GPA and ACCUPLACER® scores, and ANOVA to compare academic success among student with different ACCUPLACER® scores. For the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with (N=4) academic advisors to explore their perceptions and expectations of the placement process on student academic success.

Quantitative findings revealed that: 1) a high percentage of students enrolled in courses recommended by the placement process; 2) high school GPA had the highest predictive power for academic success; and 3) ACCUPLACER® scores were predictive for academic success in courses with additional support. Qualitative results generated three themes regarding: 1) perceptions – the good, the bad, and the complicated; 2) expectations – encouraging and worrisome; and 3) needs – human and technological resources. Connected findings identified that resources were needed for continuous assessment and improvement of the placement process. Institutional administrators and policy makers leading multiple-measures efforts might utilize the study’s findings and recommendations to implement and improve their own placement processes.

Abstract:
The primary purpose of the present project was to research the case study of current English placement practices at Intercollege in view of incorporating change, improvement and efficiency, within the framework of current work based learning and applied linguistics (and more particularly English online language testing) research discipline. The review of work based learning and current theories and practices in applied linguistics research discipline helped establish the characteristics of an insider researcher and the research approach and research techniques that would best serve such a project. The review of current theories and practices in second language (L2) teaching and learning in general, and in L2 testing in particular revealed that there is an extensive range of practices: these range from testing discrete points to integrative tasks. Tests are also delivered both in pen-and-paper as well as in electronic form, the latter being either computer based testing (CBT) or computer adaptive testing (CAT). The review of current English placement practices at Intercollege indicated the need for a new English placement test, developed in a scientific way, informed by current theories and practices, based on current test design models and taking advantage of more efficient methods of delivery, and placement. This review also revealed the need for more efficiency in the mode of delivery, administration, marking, reporting and test duration. Finally, this study of the current English placement practices at Intercollege established the need for a placement test that would incorporate a mechanism of continuous testing of reliability and validity as well as improvement. The detailed study of the specific context, setting, particular language programme, resources, test-takers, instructors, etc. informed by current theories and practices in second language (L2) testing online, helped in the development of the New English Placement Test Online (NEPTON) test specifications, and as a consequence, the development of the proposed test itself. The study of test delivery modes and the consideration of the specific work based conditions and requirements. For example administration, delivery, time and money efficiency, urgent need of an improved and more efficient English placement test (EPT) resulted in the selection of computer based testing delivery, with many features of the computer adaptive testing delivery mode incorporated in it such as randomized selection of test items and fewer items. The test item writing and item modération process resulted in the formation of a substantial pool of varied items in different skills, text types, topics, settings, and covering a variety of lexical and grammatical points and communicative, authentic-like situations in ali six levels. The field test which was took place in May 2004 in pen-and-paper form by almost 1200 students in ali three Intercollege campuses helped check the content and the test trial which took place in the period of August-September in its electronic form helped come up with the test cutoff points, and the fine-tuning of the test. The item analysis ensured the appropriateness of ali items. Pre-test questionnaires established test-takers' biographical data and information about test-taker computer familiarity. The test face validity (stakeholders' attitudes and feelings about the NEPTON) was established through the use of pre and post-test questionnaires. Experts in the area Coming, from the three campuses, also studied the test specifications and the test itself (both in its electronic and pen-and-paper format) and completed a questionnaire, thus contributing to the establishment of the test content and construct validity. The test reliability was established through a split half reliability index process and a series of other aspects or processes such as the size of the item bank, the instructions, the moderation process, and the item analysis, which are explained in chapter 5 in more details. The research project consists of two components: (a) The report, which describes the way work based and applied linguistics research approaches were used to investigate the case study of English placement test at college level at Intercollege in Cyprus and to what extent this has broad change, improvement and effìciency to current practices; and (b) The evidence of such a research project, which is the New English Placement Test Online (NEPTON), in other words, the test itself, developed, implemented and evaluated in order to materialize this change, improvement and efficiency aimed at by this project.

Abstract:
Abstract The majority of migrants from Latvia move abroad intending to work, and so fall into the category of ‘work migrants’. A crucial role in their job placement is played by an increasingly complex network of intermediaries. This includes formal employment agencies, more informal, social network-based mediators and even illegal service providers. Despite the agencies providing job placements abroad being subject to regulations, fraud and the mistreatment of jobseekers has emerged as a cause for concern. Even when there is no ill will from the intermediaries, immigrant workers often suffer discrimination from their employers, sometimes leading to a re-evaluation of their return migration plans. This chapter explores the employment conditions of Latvian migrant workers. It analyses the operation of private employment agencies offering employment abroad and, in more general terms, sheds light from the Latvian migrant workers’ perspective on their treatment by employers. In doing so, this analysis demonstrates that almost a fifth of those respondents who used the services of private employment agencies had experienced unfair treatment. Moreover, at least one in three Latvian migrant workers encountered some form of discrimination at work, and around one in six were in a precarious and vulnerable position due to the nature of their employment contract. The chapter concludes with recommendations for further studies and policy development.

Abstract:
The chapter discusses the influence and impact of product placement of Bollywood cinema. It examines the different strategies adopted in Bollywood movies for promotional purposes in India and internationally. It does an evaluation of the effectiveness of this type of communications, including deciding about travel destinations and concentrates on the viewer's recall on the consumption of the product and its impact on improving brand image. The chapter is also to understand the consumer buying behaviour in terms of Bollywood. It assesses the product placement of Bollywood in India based on its popularity and the diversity in the types of placements and was analysed using ethnography as a method tool. From the study it was observed that the importance of Bollywood movies on masses is evident in India and internationally. Consumers feel that the advertisements should be entertaining and the same should be conjoined with the storyline in order to convey the brand message in the best possible way. The chapter tries to locate the solutions and recommendations of the Bollywood film crisis.

Abstract:
Law enforcement officials (LEOs) in the UK conduct open source research (OSR) as part of their routine online investigations. OSR, in this instance, refers to publicly available information that is accessed via the Internet. As part of the research, identifying and tracing the electronic suspect (RITES) course provided by the UK's College of Policing, LEOs are introduced to the open source internet research tool (OSIRT); a free software tool designed to assist LEOs with OSR investigations. This article draws on analyses from questionnaires and observations from a RITES course; mapping them to Kirkpatrick's evaluation model. Results showed the positive impact the RITES course had in transferring knowledge back on-the-job, with LEOs applying knowledge learned to real-life investigative scenarios. Additionally, results showed OSIRT integrated both in the RITES course and into the LEOs investigative routine.

Abstract:
Higher education institutions are concerned about graduates getting good jobs because it is an outcome expected by students, it contributes to a positive image of the institution, and it can help provide accountability for institutional programs. Institutions have become more concerned with meeting students' expectations about their college experience and related career goals and facing increasing pressure to demonstrate the value of programs and services offered. Through extensive research between higher education, the Society for Human Resource Managers and employers both domestic and international are able to show that employers endorse learning outcomes for college graduates that are developed through a blend of liberal and experiential curriculum. Employers believe that colleges can best prepare graduates for long-term career success by helping them develop both a broad range of skills and knowledge and in-depth skills and knowledge in a specific field or major.

Abstract:
This article establishes the evaluation model on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) basis and applies this model to evaluate and analyse the tour spot attraction of national forest parks. The model has 4 criteria hierarchies: attraction of tour resource environment factors, attraction of administration and services factors, attraction of social environment factors and attraction of economic factors. These factors are assorted into the 20 benchmark indexes such as aesthetics of the scenery spot, territory and location, the condition of service facilities, propaganda, marketing and ticket price, etc. An analysis matrix is introduced to established the tour spot attraction evaluation index system of national forest parks in Guangdong Province so as to solve the problem of the insufficiency in scientific and professional evaluation for such tour sports. This article discusses the combination of the above-mentioned innovative method and the college major development, and its value in the course of rural community prosperity and the development of moral and political education in college lessons.

Abstract:
This chapter proposed a nature inspired energy aware VM provisioning technique in cloud computing to minimize the power consumption by the resources while providing negotiable Quality of Services (QoS). Data centers hosting different cloud application consume huge amount electrical energy which leads to a higher operational cost for service provider and makes an adverse effect in environment in terms of co2 emission. Green cloud computing can provide the solutions by optimum use of electrical energy in data center without degrading the Quality of Service (QoS). The proposed technique works in three phases: firstly consumer's service request validation is done with respect to Service Level Agreement. Then move to VM placement phase. Lastly VM placement optimization is done in order to minimize the power consumption by physical host. This chapter use Cuckoo search for optimization technique. The performance of proposed approach is validates by conducting series of evaluation using CloudSim framework

Abstract:
The key idea of the well-being concept strives to answer the question about how well the needs of people in a society are met in different spheres of social life - the physical, economic, social, educational, environmental, emotional, and spiritual – as well as individuals’ evaluations of their own lives and the way that their society operates (Gilbert, Colley, Roberts, 2016). One of the possible suggestions for answering the question: “How well are the needs of people in a society met?” could be the monitoring of citizen’s satisfaction with public services while applying a standardized questionnaire for population covering 193 primary indicators (health, social security, culture, public transport, utilities, environment, recreation and sport, public communication, education, etc). Even 23 indicators are about education that makes educational services a considerable part of all social service system. As the researchers aimed to analyze satisfaction of rural population with public services stressing the education issue, indicators about education dominated in the survey. The data were collected in 2016 - 2017 in 2 regional municipalities: municipalities: Jonava and Radviliskis (N=2368). The results of the analysis demonstrate that rural residents' satisfaction with formal general education services is relatively high. The only negative exception is the "the placement of a child in a pre-school institution based on the place of residence". Furthermore, rural residents poorly evaluated educational services that are related to non-formal education, adult education, the education of children with disabilities, child safety, meaningful xtracurricular activities of children and young people during all day, preventive programs. These major conclusions let the researchers state that local self-governmental institutions are not capable to cope with the quality challenges of some educational services without special intervention policy of the central government and the EU responsible structural units. A negative impact is also reinforced by a rapidly deteriorating demographic situation in Lithuanian rural areas.
