Abstract: Corporate Governance is considered to have significant implications for the growth prospects of an economy. Good Corporate Governance practices are regarded as important in reducing risk for investors, attracting investment capital and improving the performance of the firms. However, the way in which corporate governance is organized differs between countries, depending on their economic, political and social contexts. Given the importance of the research problem to the field of corporate finance and for resolving the inconsistent research findings in the prior literature, the co relation between individual governance mechanism and performance of firms have been looked into.

The analysis influences in finding sand of the camel sole in slipper regions that would support in discovery of footpad and foot syndromes. Behaviour of sole pad penetration into sand was predicted on camel's fore and rear feet using computed technique, for the corresponding segments at the same weights and speeds and for their selected distinctiveness. Camel walk's and his ordinary steps and increase speed to travel and cut off roads and deserts with the magnitude of the weights have a direct impact on the camel feet and stretch the pads, which requires the study of the case and shape of these feet-pads, and not to dive into the soft sand to walk through. For analysis, a 3D model was used...........

Abstract: The penetration of media and information technologies into the absolute majority of citizens' lives requires that, in defending and pursuing its intentions in the subject-matter area, the State should view it in the most erudite manner and should be capable of responding to it professionally. This fact is even more crucial in the post-socialist countries, where, in light of their totalitarian past, state bodies are often perceived through the lens of stereotypes as being deformed in the sense that the State performs more repressive than protective roles; that it is a bad owner in general terms; or even that it mismanages the tax payers' money. The situation in the field of security is of special seriousness............
