The natural spring (dhara) is the main source of drinking water in North Sikkim. Though it is pure water for drinking and other domestic purposes, it gets polluted with various environmental factors. The study was performed to assess the quality of spring water. A total of nine sampling sites were selected at an interval of four months, i.e. monsoon, pre-monsoon and post-monsoon during August 2015-July2016. All the spring water samples were analyzed in terms of physical properties, heavy metals like copper, lead, iron, chromium, cadmium and bacterial characteristics such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp, Salmonella sp, Shigella sp, Proteus sp, Citrobacter sp, Enterobacterclocae etc. In the study all the observed results were compared with Bureau of Indian Standard. All the results of physical parameters and heavy metals were found within the permissible limit except the range of pH and iron shows slightly higher concentration than permissible limit. During monsoon, isolation of organisms was recorded in significant percentage followed by post-monsoon and pre-monsoon.

Mongolia has plenty of natural resources and comparatively few populations of 3 million, most of them are younger. It means Mongolia has a lot of opportunities to grow its economy quickly and compete with other countries by an economic growth. But, Mongolian economy has been stagnated in last few years since reaching the peak growth at 17.5 percent in 2011. We assume that the main reason for an economic stagnation caused by the government bad decisions not basing on the scientific research. The Dutch disease theory explains the relationship between increasing and declining specific sectors, which resulting in the currency appreciation. This paper aims to determine that the reason for economic difficulties and make some suggestion to prevent the worsening situation. As of Mongolia, it has been reflected by Dutch disease very badly, so need to find the way to dive into the right paths.

Solid waste management is everybody’s concern. Every individual is a producer of waste that is why in the University all contributors of waste were involved in the study. Production of wastes is one thing, the type of waste produced is another, especially, solid waste and yet the produced waste is managed is another issue. The study used mixed methods through questionnaire and interviews to gather data on status, practices, needs, and opportunities of solid waste management. The findings revealed that the status of solid waste in the University in terms of its types are biodegradable, non-biodegradable and recyclable; with regards to the quantity of waste produced every day, during weekdays an average of 50 bags, where bag has a dimension of 100 square centimeters, Saturdays an average of 20 bags and Sundays about 10 bags. There is a disposal area, where all the waste bags are dumped, with a total area of 200 sq. meters, tools such as shovel, spade, cart, and rake are used and segregation of waste is being enforced; participation in trash to cash program is encouraged to lessen the waste to be disposed and collected by the waste collector or hauler, and allotted budget of approximately six thousand pesos per dump truck load per week. The students and non-teaching personnel agreed on most of the items which described needs and opportunities of solid waste management while the faculty members agreed on practices and strongly agreed on the needs and opportunities on solid waste management in the University. There are needs to be addressed and plans to improve the current practices on solid waste management and optimize the identified opportunities to be recognized as a Clean and Green University.

With the rapid development of e-commerce in China, the performance of retail companies that used to operate physical stores was significantly affected. Many companies began to seek transformation, but the results were minimal. Wal-Mart, once a giant in the traditional retail industry, has also been hit by the Internet, showing a decline in performance and closure of a large number of stores.

This paper proposes the basic analytical framework of web development systems from the perspective of system dynamics. Based on the feedback characteristic of web development activities, we analyze the causality in the web development from six aspects including work stress, web development, motivation, developer maintenance, recruitment and outsourcing and create a casual loop diagram of web development. Through system analysis, crucial factors needed for web developers to accomplish web development tasks continuously and stably are illuminated. The results show that external variables such as new recruitment and case outsourcing can have a short-term effect on the system, while internal variables such as work motivation and work stress have a greater influence on web development activities, which will result in a fluctuation of job performance. From the perspective of management, countermeasures are put forward on how to mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of developers and improve productivity.
