This research paper is developed from my research; Women's rights in Theravada Buddhism, a critical study of the Theravada's perspective on women's rights, status, duties and in socio-economic - political roles as portrayed in the Pali Tipitaka and other related Buddhist texts. The focus of the study is Early Buddhism in India up to 700 C.E., But in this paper, I would like to present some prejudice to women appeared in Theravada and Mahayana Buddhism. In Theravada literatures, There were no direct teachings with respect to women's socio-economic-political status, rights and roles. But there existed some interpretable teachings which illustrated some places in the universe that women could not get into. In Theravada Buddhist perspective, women should not be allowed to get involved in any socio-economic and political matters. It is noted that Theravada literatures collected in the later periods of time depicted more negative portraits of women when compared to the earlier ones. It is true that Buddhism in both early and later periods has been significantly influenced by the patriarchy culture in India. The negative images of women were increasingly portrayed due to the influences of asceticism which, to a certain extent, were associated with the patriarchy culture. ; บทความนี้ปรับปรุงจากโครงวิจัยเรื่อง "สิทธิสตรีในพระพุทธศาสนาเถรวาท" ที่ศึกษาทัศนะของพระพุทธศาสนาเถรวาทเรื่อง สิทธิ หน้าที่ สถานภาพ และบทบาททางสังคม-เศรษฐกิจและการเมืองของสตรี ตามที่ปรากฏในพระไตรปิฎกภาษาบาลี อรรถกถา และเอกสารทางวิชาการด้านพระพุทธศาสนาเกี่ยวข้อง โดยจำกัดขอบเขตการศึกษาไว้ในช่วงสมัยเริ่มแรกของพระพุทธศาสนาจนถึงคริสต์ศตวรรษที่ 7 อย่างไรก็ตาม ในบทความนี้จะนำเสนอเฉพาะประเด็นเกี่ยวกับอคติที่มีต่อเพศหญิงอันปรากฏอยู่ทั่วไปในพุทธศาสนาเถรวาทและมหายาน กล่าวได้ว่า ในวรรณกรรมของพระพุทธศาสนาเถรวาทและมหายาน ไม่มีคำสอนอันเกี่ยวเนื่องกับสถานภาพ สิทธิ และบทบาทของสตรีในทางสังคม เศรษฐกิจ และการเมืองโดยตรง แต่มีคำสอนบางเรื่องที่ตีความได้ว่า มีบางตำแหน่งแห่งที่ในจักรวาลนี้ที่สตรีเข้าถึงไม่ได้ และสตรีไม่อาจเข้าไปมีบทบาทในกิจกรรมทางสังคมเศรษฐกิจการเมืองได้ น่าสังเกตว่า ในวรรณกรรมของเถรวาทที่รวบรวมขึ้นในยุคหลัง จะมีภาพลบของสตรีมากกว่าในวรรณกรรมยุคแรก ๆ ทั้งนี้เพราะได้รับอิทธิพลจากแนวคิด "พรตนิยม" ซึ่งซ้อนทับกับระบบที่ให้ความสำคัญกับผู้ชายนั่นเอง

This project will focus on the Caste War of 1847-1901 in the Yucatán peninsula located in southern Mexico by compiling various primary and secondary sources. It will focus on the militarization of the natives and how the Mexican Army was able to overpower the native Mayan population, it will also focus on the revolutionary aspects of the native population and popular Mayan revolutionary figures during the time. The project will also look to explore the lifestyle and how the native population in the Yucatán lived their daily lives through various archeological files and reports, and how their lifestyle effected the progress and ultimately led to the failure of the Mayan revolution in the Yucatán. The project will look to prove why the revolutionary struggle of the native people in Yucatán was never able to progress after the first push forward for an independent state. Results will be reported in a research style paper as well as an oral report. The project will help provide a better understanding of pre 20th century native Mayan revolution and why it could not succeed, it will also provide a better understanding for political and military strategies used in the future to put down other Latin American revolutions. This project will look to prove that the Mayan revolution in the Yucatán was never successful because the lifestyle that the Mayan people lived, and because the Mayan people were never able to band together in order to form a strong revolutionary spirit among each other.

Not Available ; A field study on impact assessment of Frontline Demonstrations on productivity enhancement of cumin was conducted in Bheenjwadia village of Jodhpur district of Rajasthan by Central Arid Zone Research Institute, Jodhpur during 2010- 11 to 2014-15. Yield attributes of both demonstrations and farmers practices were recorded and percent yield enhancement, technology gap, extension gap, technology index, were analyzed. The average five years data revealed that average yield of demonstration plots was obtained 519.60 kg ha–1 over the local check (412.80 kg ha–1) and there is an increase in average yield by 25.87 per cent. The gross returns, and B : C ratios on demonstration plot were higher 61787/ha and 2.26 respectively as compared to farmer's practices ( 49075 and 1.90). The study suggests that for strengthening linkages with line department and converging the demonstration with Government schemes for large scale adoption of farmers' fields. This can be a good option for enhancing farmers' income. ; Not Available

DRMI Working Paper Series ; The series is intended to convey the preliminary results of [DRMI] ongoing research. The research described in these papers is preliminary and has not completed the usual review process for Institute publications. We welcome feedback from readers and encourage you to convey your comments and criticisms directly to the authors. ; We present here a case study of an organization within the U.S. Navy that created a new organizational construct and performance management system. We explore the issues faced by naval leaders as they attempt to use their performance information to make resource allocation decisions at the sub-organization level, and base budgets at the organization and service (navy) level. We attempt to diagnose many of the practical problems a government organization encounters when implementing a performance management system, to include trying to inform budgets, and make recommendations on actions that would improve the strength of the performance system. We find in the organization a good conceptual framework, organizational enthusiasm, and reasonable attempts to link disparate information systems into a coherent whole. The good intentions are hindered, however, by inadequate accounting systems, a lack of understanding of cost accounting methods, weak use of terminology and longstanding institutional attitudes. This case confirms challenges associated with both performance management systems and performance budgeting found in the literature, and we offer recommendations for public officials considering such endeavors.
