<![CDATA[Solar energy is transforming to be the promising renewable energy resource that could be used efficiently for human basic needs like cooking. This study presents the performance analysis of solar cooking instruments based on their geometrical aspects. The main aim is to find the best solar cooking device that can efficiently absorb heat reflecting from its surface. Here we evaluated the performance of parabolic type solar reflector and Scheffler type solar reflector in terms of its thermal efficiency and losses. The main dependent factor for this comparative analysis is the geometry of the reflectors with a diameter of 1.5 m and the radiation of the sun. For better reflectivity in both receiver and concentrator or reflector medium, stainless steel material is used. Depending on these factors, we have evaluated performance of both the reflectors and found satisfactory results. Theoretical and simulated results over various conditions prove that the Scheffler reflector performs well compared to parabolic collector.]]>

<![CDATA[Leadership is a crucial desire for all kinds of organizations. If the answer to the question, “what is meant leadership to the people in corporate?” is explored the answer will be in variety and will give various perspectives of leadership. This is because leadership is something unique in every different unique situation. There are leaders in various organizations but all of them lead in their own different ways and styles and many times they are successful too. The reason for having different answers on leadership is that every superior lead in different way and every subordinate experiences different style and pattern of leadership and in many times also witnesses the success of the organization. Some define leader as who influences other and encourages them to work, others feel good leader is one who guides others, and some think leader is the one who empowers his/her subordinates. Leadership has continuously evolved because of situational changes like changes in external environment and/ or changes in internal settings of organization.]]>

<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is a chronic degenerative disease characterized by an increase in glucose levels in the blood. Anxiety and sleep quality disturbances are problems that are often experienced by people with diabetes mellitus due to prolonged stressors. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of psychoreligious therapy on anxiety scores and sleep quality scores in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in the Junrejo Health Center, Batu City. This study used a queasy experimental design with a pretest and posttest control group design. The number of samples was 36 respondents who were divided into the experimental group (psychoreligious therapy) and the control group (health education) each of 18 respondents. The sample selection used purposive sampling. The results of this study indicate that psychoreligious therapy has ρ value < 0.05, which means that there is a significant difference between the difference in anxiety scores and the difference in sleep quality scores before and after being given psychoreligious therapy, so the alternative hypothesis is accepted and the null hypothesis is rejected. This study concludes that psychoreligious therapy is more effective than health education on anxiety and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.]]>
