Abstract A university archive is a new archival concept in Indonesia which is an institution that is responsible for managing static records. From a judicial perspective, this concept contradicts to the Law Number 7 of 1971 and the Presidential Decree Number 105 of 2004 where the management of static archives is carried out by the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia both at the national level and provincial, district, and city level. However, looking at the pragmatic needs in which many universities in Indonesia have not conducted filing activities optimally both in terms of fostering a dynamic archiving system and management of long-term archives, thus the idea for establishing university archives especially in the universities under category of the State-Owned Legal Entity (Badan Hukum.......

Abstract: In this study I used structural equation modeling which is a second generation multivariate data analysis method using partial least square approach to find out the determinants and factors affecting international marketing of leather and leather goods of Bangladesh. After conducting this study it has been found that the structural path or relation between firm and domestic environment is more significant which indicates that in international marketing of LLG the relation between firm and domestic environment is more important than foreign environment. And from the outer weight it can be concluded no individual factor have significant impact on determining the firm characteristics, domestic environment and foreign environment. So international marketing of LLG is highly dependent on the relation between firm and domestic environment of our country.

After thorough analysis over the pros and cons, it will not be wise to depend only on one method of banking; be it the virtual one or the traditional one. The best approach would be to break up your banking needs between online and in-store services to enjoy the benefits of both. With online banking one can have access 24/7 so as...............
