This study evaluated the relationship between machinery operators’ productivity efficiency (MOPE) and the machinery operators’ on-the-job ergonomics satisfactions (MOOES) in Southwest Nigeria bottle making industry (BMI). The MOPE, for a period of one year, was computed for 50 semi-automatic PET blow machines operators in 12 bottle making industries. The subjective perceptions of the workers (category ratio scale - (CRS)) with respect to workloads elements and exposures to machine related hazards were measured using a questionnaire. MOPE results showed 78% of the studied subjects scored about 50% and their productivity were rated average. However, more than 92% of the operators suffered from mental, physical and environmental workload elements. With t- test, MOPE showed statistically significantly higher means value (54.22 ± 2.5, SEM= 1.8) compared to MOOES (34.40 ± 2.75, SEM=.125), t(98) = 23.309, p = .001 hence, were significantly different t- confirming a gap between machinery operators’ ergonomics satisfactions and their productivity levels. The study suggested development of administrative measures capable of bridging the gap to enhance health and safety of the workers. Key words: ergonomics, satisfaction, machinery, operators, productivity, bottle, industry.

This study evaluated ergonomics consequences of maximizing industrial machinery usage on the operators. The main objective was to establish a relationship between human factor considerations and machinery utilization (MU). The MU, over a period of one year, was computed for 45 Bundling Food Packaging Machine (BFPM) in 6 sausage roll producing industries located in Southwest Nigeria. Machine hazard/safety checklists were used inform of questionnaire to carry out machinery inspections and the subjective perceptions of operators of the machinery with respect to work loads and exposures to machine related hazards. 82.2% of the BFPM had MU rated above 90%. 92.8% of the operators were affected by environmental load, 91.1% affected by physical load and81.8% by mental load. The statistical test result showed a weak relationship between the MU and the operators' ergonomics perception ratings (OEPR) (r = 0.025, p=.870). The independent sample t-test showed that MU had statistically significantly higher means of good percentage ratings (92.9 ± 4.8) compared to that of the OEPR (39.187 ± 17.07), t (88) = 20.321, p = 0.001. The result showed that the groups' calculated/response means were significantly different. The study concluded that the ergonomics factors maintained around the machinery were rated below the emphasis placed on its high production and quality.

The Osun Osogbo Sacred Grove is part of the story of Nigerian Modernism. Situated on the outskirts of the city of Osogbo in Southwest Nigeria, the grove consists of seventy-five hectares of forestland along the banks of the Osun river. Hunting, farming, and fishing are forbidden in the grove. No permanent settlements are allowed. Instead the area is covered with a large number of sculptures and temples of various sizes and materials. Some are made of wood, others of stone and cement. Both the structures and the restrictions echo the religious character of the site. Osun is not only a river, but also Osogbo’s guardian deity who is credited with providing wealth, fertility, and protection. The origin of these structures dates back to the 1950s when the entangled forces of colonialism, Christianity, and commerce had started to erode the relationship between the city and the goddess. The cohesive force of the Osun Grove declined. People began to ignore local restrictions on hunting, fishing, and farming to the point that the grove was at risk of abandonment. To address this crisis, in 1959—one year before Nigeria gained independence—a group of Osun ritual officials approached Susanne Wenger, an Austrian artist and a convert to Yoruba religion, and asked for her help.

RESUMEN En el artículo se ofrece una reflexión en torno a la educación y valores. Tras una referencia a los diferentes sentidos en que se puede plantear el problema en función de la forma como se puede entender la relación entre los dos sustantivos “educación” y “valores”, la reflexión se centra en algunos problemas relacionados con los valores en cuanto contenidos de la educación. Primeramente se refiere al problema del criterio en función del cual determinar los valores de la educación, concluyendo en que el criterio no podía ser ni de carácter a priori, ni empírico, sino “sintético”. A continuación, se afronta el problema del principio, de la fuente de los valores, o la concreción del criterio de los valores de la educación, entendiendo que éstos deberían ser determinados a partir del sujeto de la educación. Se concluye con la referencia a una exigencia de los valores de la educación, la configuración de una totalidad unitaria e interactiva. Palabras clave: educación, valores, fuente de valores, integración, cultura EDUCATION AND VALUES ABSTRACT The article offers a reflection on education and values. After a reference to the different senses in which one can pose the problem in terms of how you can understand the relationship between the two nouns “education” and “values”, reflection focuses on some problems related to the values in the contents of education. First, it concerns the problem of the criterion against which to determine the values of education, concluding that the criterion could be neither a priori in nature, not empirical, but “synthetic”. Herein, the problem of principle is faced, the source of values, or the realization of the criterion of the values of education, understanding that these should be determined from the subject of education. It concludes with the reference of a requirement of the values in education, setting up a unitary and interactive whole. Key Words: education, values , power values , integration, culture

Sukabumi City for 5 years, with a sampling technique using a purposive sample in the form of financial statement data from 2010 to 2014 using a table of trade receivables and company liquidity. In this study, researchers refer to the theory of Bambang Riyanto (2008: 94) as the connecting theory of the title. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship and influence between receivables and liquidity at PT. Graha Tumarima. The research design uses the method of exposing the facto, the method of data collection aims to test the hypothesis by using correlation analysis, determination, regression and hypothesis testing with t-test. The results of this study show the influence of receivables on liquidity is shown by the value of r = 0.888, meaning that receivables have a very strong relationship to liquidity. The nature of the relationship is positive, meaning that if the value of cooperative credit is higher the liquidity will be higher. Conversely, if the value of receivables decreases, liquidity will decrease. The magnitude of the influence of receivables on liquidity is shown by the value of R Square / Determination Coefficient of 0.789 or 78.9% thus the receivables have an effect of 78.9% on cooperative liquidity. Hypothesis testing uses the t test, that t arithmetic = 3.347 while t table = 3.182 means t arithmetic> t table. Means that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. There is an influence between the receivables on liquidity at PT. Graha Tumarima, Sukabumi City

To find out the ability of Orobanche seeds to germinate immediately after seed set, seeds were germinated periodically at an interval of three months for one year in GR24. Some Orobanche seeds were capable of germination immediately after seed set but most required about nine months as after ripening or incubation period to be able to germinate. The phenomenon of after ripening in Orobanche seeds could be taken as an ecological measure to dormant over following unfavorable wet summer season. The growth hormone studies on Orobanche seed germination have shown that GA3 at a concentration of 100 ppm substantially enhanced seed germination when applied during pre-conditioning period. NAA showed some stimulatory effect at 0.5 - 1.0 ppm when applied during post-conditioning period but the hormone if applied during pre-conditioning period inhibited the germination. Kinetin failed to stimulate the germination at all the concentrations tested. Key words: Germination, root-parasite, hormone. Ecoprint Vol.11(1) 2004.
