http://ijaems.com/ Open Access international Journal to publish research paper en-us June 2019 In developing nations, administrative facilities do not centers the majority of residing population because of poor geographical accessibility. Selection of optimal administrative centerin such locationsis a tedious task as the decision is contingent upon various factors. While making such decisions, major focus should be on accessibility of residing people. Thus, this study examines the role two major factors, population distribution and transportation network distribution, in the selection of administrative centers of any location considering the case study of Province no. 1, Nepal. http://ijaems.com/detail/optimal-location-of-administrative-center-a-case-study-of-province-no-1-nepal/ Sailesh Acharya, Nikesh Poudel http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/1IJAEMS-JUN-2019-1-OptimalLocation.pdf This research paper determined the status of compliance to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Department Order (D.O.) 174 of selected fast-food establishments in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija, Philippines. The researchers find this important, especially to the large fast-food corporation, as this will be able to eliminate possible penalties that the DOLE may impose on them once proven violating the said D.O. with regards to labor contractualization. The methodology used in this research is an evaluative-descriptive survey with a guided questionnaire as the main instrument. The study involved 15 purposively chosen respondents. Findings of the study indicated that some of the fast food restaurants in Cabanatuan were still non-compliant to some of the requirements under D.O. 174. This stemmed from duplication of work between regular employees and 3rd party employee arising from the agency, in terms of directing and controlling 3rd party employees as stated in the DOLE Department order which prohibits the principal on direct involvement for non-regular employees. The study recommends that the management of selected fast-food establishments should conduct a thorough review of the content of Department Order-174 and develop and empower their team leaders through capability building programs so that they will be firm in their designation and can perform their duties and responsibilities effectively. http://ijaems.com/detail/status-of-compliance-to-dole-department-order-174-of-selected-fast-food-establishments-in-cabanatuan-city-philippines/ Lyka Mae Fajardo, Marieta Corpuz, Paul David Mariano, Arnold Aguinaldo, Felipe Balaria Jr. http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/2IJAEMS-10620193-Statusof.pdf This research aimed to evaluate the NEUST extension service provided by the Business Administration (BA) Society on the members of Tanawan Mushroom Grower’s Association of Barangay Tanawan, Dingalan, Aurora. Evaluation research was made to assess the current situation of the cooperative in this remote barangay. Mushroom production is appropriate to the locality and its residents based on their economic profile, interests, and availability of resources.The climate of Barangay Tanawan also suits for mushroom growing. Likewise, mushroom growing requires little space and will not consume a lot of time of growers. The officers of the cooperative further requested that the BA Society could provide them free seeds and continuous assistance to make their association thrived in this business endeavor. http://ijaems.com/detail/evaluation-of-nueva-ecija-university-of-science-and-technology-neust-extension-services-re-mushroom-growers-of-tanawan/ Edison S.

Fronda http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/3IJAEMS-10620194-Evaluationof.pdf This study evaluated the operation of Higher Education Institution (HEI)-based cooperatives in Nueva Ecija. It described the cooperatives’ historical antecedents and different aspects of operation in terms of organization and management, market and marketing, production/technical and financial aspects. The study also identified the challenges and problems encountered by the cooperatives. The study employed the descriptive type of research and the respondents of the study were the general managers and members from two public and two private HEIs in Nueva Ecija. The result of the study revealed that HEI-based cooperatives are classified as credit, multi-purpose, consumer and housing cooperatives, all operating for more than two decades. All of the cooperatives have the same set of key officers who managed the operation of the organization. They used fliers, social media and public announcement to disseminate information. The cooperatives primarily offered cash loans and selling of various commodities. As to fund resources, cooperatives sourced out their fund through the share of a capital subscription among the members. Top problems encountered by the cooperatives include limited membership expansion, decreased volume of sales, difficulties in marketing loan packages to faculty members with high take-home pay, time management and availability of officers and slow retrieval of land titles from National Housing Authority (NHA). Recommendations offered to improve the operation of cooperatives are continuous enhancement of their operation through the integration of technology, additional personnel, new services and crafting new policies that will benefit more members of the cooperatives. http://ijaems.com/detail/operation-of-higher-education-institution-based-cooperatives-in-nueva-ecija/ Rollieza Grace M.

The purpose of this study was to examine the diversity of seed size and nutritional content of six lablab bean accessions found in the Madura, Probolinggo, and West Nusa Tenggara (WNT), Indonesia. Morphological observations of seeds which included parameters of length, width, thickness, and seed weight, while the nutrient content of seeds was obtained from proximate analysis which included assay of fat, protein, and amylose. Data analysis used in this study wasa one-way analysis of variance and Pearson Product Moment test. The results of the analysis showed that the variety of accessions had a significant effect on all morphological parameters and nutrient levels studied. Besides, the results of data analysis also inform that some morphological parameters and nutrient content have a significant correlation.The findings of this study also show that lablab seeds contain high protein and amylose, so the use of this plant as alternative food in Indonesia is highly recommended. http://ijaems.com/detail/the-diversity-of-seed-size-and-nutrient-content-of-lablab-bean-from-three-locations-in-indonesia/ Elly Purwanti, Wahyu Prihanta, Ahmad Fauzi http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/7IJAEMS-10620199-TheDiversity.pdf A mutual fund is a trust that encompasses the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realized is shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them. Thus, Mutual Fund is one of the most effective instruments for the small & medium investors for investment and offers opportunity to them to participate in capital market with low level of risk. It also provides the facility of diversification i.e. investors can invest across different types of schemes. Indian Mutual Fund has achieved a lot of popularity since last two decades. For a long time UTI enjoyed the monopoly in mutual fund industry. But with the passage of time many new players came in the market and thus the mutual fund industry faces a lot of competition. Now a day this industry has become the major player of the financial system. Therefore it becomes important to investigate the mutual fund performance at continuous basis. The wide variety of schemes floated by these mutual fund companies gave wide investment choice for the investors. Among wide variety of funds equity, diversified fund is considered as substitute for direct stock market investment. In present paper an attempt has been made to investigate the performance of the open ended, growth oriented, equity diversified schemes on the basis of return and risk evaluation. The analysis was achieved by assessing various financial tests like Average Return, Standard Deviation, Beta, Coefficient of Determination (R2), Alpha, Sharpe Ratio and Treynor Ratio whose results will be useful for investors for taking better investment decisions. The data has been taken from various websites of mutual fund schemes and from amfiindia.com. The analysis depicts that majority of funds selected for study have outperformed under Sharpe Ratio as well as Treynor Ratio. http://ijaems.com/detail/a-study-on-the-performance-of-mutual-fund-scheme-in-india/ Dr. Tapan Kumar Samanta http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/8IJAEMS-106201911-AStudyon.pdf This paper examined the profile of SDSSU as it takes its journey towards internationalization. It used case study in which documentary analysis of a unit was applied. The profile of the university has potential conformities of high performance, from instruction to extension functions that are essentials for global marketing and competitiveness. Hence, it needs a number of employees, specifically in terms of faculty, as it is seen that the population of students is expecting to be increased due to the free tuition, and availability of grants and scholarship programs. It shows also high performance in terms of program accredited, board programs, and extension services. As to faculty, few meet the educational qualifications but it is evident that majority of them are aiming a highest educational qualifications. Lastly, majority of their level of trainings, conferences, and seminars they attended are in local level. http://ijaems.com/detail/journey-of-sdssu-towards-internationalization/ Rudy F.

The twenty-six (26) respondents were profiled and the correlation between each characteristic and the three leadership styles: autocratic, democratic, and free-reign (laissez-faire), was computed. After analyzing the results, it was observed that most of the respondents favored a democratic leadership style. Moreover, the researchers draw out that as the young IE supervisors tend to support free-reign leadership less as compared to older IE supervisors. http://ijaems.com/detail/leadership-styles-of-industrial-engineers-in-pottery-industries-in-pampanga/ Joana L.

Participants are working directly in smart energy metering and cloud-computing. Results revealed that most participants believed that smart energy metering can be controlled by cloud-computing and smart energy metering offers a robust and reliable modem enabling efficient communication. Moreover, some participants believed that existing application can deliver accurate data analysis, management, operations, and customer engagement. Few participants were direct users of cloud-computing but in some utilizations particularly in high-rise buildings, malls, and manufacturing plants, they were using cloud-computing to monitor their power usages and the harmonics power supplies in their facilities. Participants believed that application can edit, collect, deliver data through the utility-grade of meter data management system and most of cloud-based has utility on data visualization from web-based energy portal and reporting tools for consumers and utilities. Some participants said thatthe system is usually compatible in the SAP system. More so, most participants believed, that the scalability, central data storage, cost-efficiency, real-time response, and securities are advantages of the system and the location of data, inefficient cloud security policy, mixing of data, term of agreement, compatibility, application programming interfaces, redundant data management and disaster recoveries are the challenges of the system. http://ijaems.com/detail/a-cloud-based-online-access-on-smart-energy-metering-in-the-philippines/ Dexter L.

Qualitatively, we used the product of this study — operations performance matrix. The matrix was then applied through a survey of a sample of footwear companies in the region of Jaú, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The correlations between the scores obtained for each operational performance objective were tested. The analysis of the regression coefficients associated to each independent variable (quality, reliability, speed and flexibility) allowed to conclude that all the questions had a positive impact on the dependent variable (costs), indicating a positive correlation. This survey demonstrated the utility of the proposed methodology when using as a premise for decision the performance objectives of operations that demonstrated that the dependent variable is the consequence and not the cause as treated in the conventional investment analysis that uses the cash flow logic and value present as a decision factor. However, the methodology presented as a complementary form is the analysis of investments of this nature in relation to techniques widely used by the market that adopt the financial results projected as critical success factors. http://ijaems.com/detail/using-the-modo-in-capital-expenditure/ Carraro N.

In this connection, the present paper is an attempt to find out an economic analysis of Goods and Services Tax in India. This paper found that some taxes of central and states taxes such as Central excise duty, Duties of excise, Additional duties of excise, Special Additional duties of custom, Services tax, State VAT central sales Tax and Purchase Tax, etc. would be subsumed in GST. This study also found some advantage such as Increase the Gross Domestic Product, Promotion of Exports, Reduction in the cost of production, Reduction in the transportation cost, Beneficial for the Low-income States, etc. and disadvantages such as Not inclusion of Some Commodities in the GST Rate, Multiple GST in different States, No decision on the GST Taxation Rate, Loss to some States, etc in adoption of GST in India. This paper also suggests that adoption of GST in India will be beneficial for long term and increase in GDP. http://ijaems.com/detail/an-economic-analysis-of-goods-and-services-tax-in-india/ Satvir Singh, Minakshi Choudhary http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/13IJAEMS-0520194-AnEconomic.pdf
